The report of the Athletic Committee, which probably will be submitted at the faculty meeting this afternoon is awaited with much interest by the students. The committee is thoroughly representative of the athletic interests of the college, composed as it is of a graduate and two undergraduates who are prominent in athletics, together with the director of the gymnasium and a prominent medical authority in Cambridge. Its report, whatever it may be, will receive careful consideration from the faculty, and its recommendation will undoubtedly have great weight. Two branches of our athletics will receive especial attention, rowing and foot-ball. In regard to what action the faculty will take about a paid coach for our crews there is much speculation. But it is generally believed that the faculty will not retreat from its position taken last year. There is, however, almost a universal opinion that permission to play foot-ball with our rival colleges will be granted. The students earnestly desire this, and the faculty can hardly refuse us this boon, now that so many of the objectionable features of the game have been removed. It will probably be several weeks before the decision of the faculty will be known.
