12. Rules adopted by the Harvard Football Association and Baseball Association, and adopted as standing regulations, applicable to all sports, by the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports, Dec. 17, 1889.

RULE 1. No one shall be allowed to represent Harvard University in any public Athletic Contest, either individually or as a member of any team, unless he can satisfy the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports that he is, and intends to be throughout the College year, a bona fide member of the University taking a full year's work.

RULE 2. No one shall be allowed to represent Harvard University in any public Athletic contest, either individually or as a member of any team, who either before or since entering the University shall have engaged for money in any Athletic competition, whether for a stake, or a money prize, or a share of the entrance fees or admission money; or who shall have taught or engaged in any athletic exercise or sport as a means of livelihood; or who shall at any time have received for taking part in any Athletic sport or contest any pecuniary gain or emolument whatever, direct or indirect, with the single exception that he may have received from the College organization or from any permanent amateur association of which he was at the time a member, the amount by which the expenses necessarily incurred by him in representing his organization in Athletic contests exceeded his ordinary expenses.

Rule 2 shall go into effect on January 1, 1890, but shall not be retroactive, in the sense of disqualifying by reason of past acts men who would be eligible under the practice at that time existing.

In exceptional cases the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports may by special vote remove the disqualification incurred under Rule 2 by acts performed before entrance to college.

In case other colleges should join with Harvard in adopting these rules such disqualification shall not be removed without the consent of a majority of the said colleges.
