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.

REGULATIONS CONCERNING ATHLETICS.

1. The Faculty Committee on Athletics is intrusted with the general oversight of
field and track athletics, and is authorized to forbid any features in these exercises
which endanger the health or the morals of the participants.

any intercollegiate contest, who is not at the time of such contest a regularly matriculated
student or an instructor in the University.

teams except after physical examination by the Director of the Gymnasium, and

team in games away from the University, either as a regular member of the team or
as a substitute,except upon written permission from his parent or guardian addressed
to the Chairman of the Faculty.

6. Only students who act as regular or substitute members of the athletic teams
will be permitted to accompany them on trips away from the University, except
during vacations and holidays.

7. Special monthly reports will be made to the Faculty with respect to the class
standing and progress in study of each player on the athletic teams during the football
and baseball seasons, whether such player be a regular or substitute member of
either team or an applicant for either position.

8. Any member of an athletic team who is reported for neglect of his studies or
non-attendance on lectures may be required by the Faculty to sever his connection
with such team.
