ATHLETICS.
Games and sports of all kinds are under the special
direction of the General Athletic Association, a student
organization whose object is to promote this class of physical
exercises. The Faculty, by means of its committee on
athletics, exercises only a general advisory control, endeavoring
to foresee and avert dangerous tendencies or unwise
excess in physical exercises, while giving to the student as
far as possible entire liberty of management. But a strict
limit is placed upon the character of intercollegiate games
and the number played away from the University.

oversight of field and track athletics, and is authorized to forbid any features
