Athletics in New England Colleges Discussed Last Week

At the second meeting of the Association of New England colleges for conference on athletics held at the Parker House Saturday, seventeen of the twenty New England colleges were represented, delegates being present from every college except Boston University, Boston College and Yale. The purpose of the association is the promotion of the best interests of college athletics in New England and uniformity in their regulations, and the meetings will be for the discussion of what seems most important in the athletic situation. The acts of the association are not binding on any individual institution and it is understood that the various colleges are each to take individual action with reference to joining it.

Dean Briggs presided at the meetings and a constitution was adopted and the following officers elected; president, Professor F. W. Nicolson of Wesleyan; vice-president, Mr. W. F. Garcelon L.'95; secretary-treasurer, Professor H. D. Wild of Williams. The executive committee consists of the three officers, E. K. Hall of Dartmouth and Professor R. K. Jones of the University of Maine. A special committee will, during the coming months, conduct a thorough investigation of the summer baseball question to reach, if possible, a common basis of action.
