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.

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

baseball teams except after physical examination by the Director of the
