ATHLETIC COMMITTEE LOSS

The resignation of W. C. Sabine '88, A.M., S.D., as a member of the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports, was accepted at the meeting of the Corporation held on April 13, 1908, to take effect on that date.

Dean Sabine was made a member of the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports by the Board of Overseers in March, 1907. The clause in the report reads as follows: "That the method of selecting the Faculty members of the Athletic Committee be changed and that, instead of three members of the University Faculties, to be appointed by the Corporation with the consent of the Overseers, the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Dean of Harvard College, and the Dean of the Lawrence Scientific School be ex officiis the Faculty members of the Athletic Committee."

This vote was revoked at a meeting of the Corporation, held last February, when it was decided to amend the above clause by the passage of the following vote:

"To amend the standing rules and orders of the President and Fellows and the Board of Overseers concerning the regulation of athletic sports, as adopted by the President and Fellows at their meeting of March 11, 1907, and by the Board of Overseers at their meeting of March 13, 1907, by substituting the words 'three members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences appointed by the Overseers' for the words 'the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences; the Dean of Harvard College, and the Dean of the Lawrence Scientific School, ex officiis'."
