At the meeting of students at Columbia on Saturday to discuss the question of athletic regulations the following colleges were represented : Harvard, Princeton, Lafayette, Williams, Rutgers, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, Stevens Institute, St. John's College and Columbia College. Our delegates were Burr and Sexton, '84. There were about 50 delegates present. J. M. Wainwright of Col. presided. Resolutions were adopted declaring that it was the sense of the meeting that the recent action of the committees appointed by the various college faculties in drawing up a series of resolutions regarding athletics was unnecessary and inexpedient ; that no abuses existed in inter-collegiate athletics that could not be corrected by the students themselves ; that the students of the various colleges ought to have full control of the details of athletics, and that the faculty ought to interfere only negatively to prevent neglect of college duties.
