Dartmouth College through its faculty has refused to ratify the athletic resolutions. This lessens by one the number from which the necessary five must come to make them binding. Now that the other colleges are making up their minds and taking enough interest in the matter to act, it looks very much as if a very large majority would vote against the resolutions. Dartmouth in her refusal states that the privilege of playing other nines is the only means their nine has for suitable practice. This is much very like our objection to the third resolution, only we do not make any great outcry over the loss of practice with professionals. But to us the inability to play with any amateurs otherwise than those of colleges places us at a serious disadvantage, on account of our practical isolation from athletic colleges. Too much stress cannot be laid on this objection to the third resolution.
