At a meeting of the Faculty held last Monday, a vote advising that Harvard students take no part in intercollegiate football in 1906 was passed. It was also voted to refer this action to the Harvard Athletic Committee in the same manner that the Board of Overseers referred their vote forbidding football.
The vote was as follows:
"That, in the opinion of the Faculty, intercollegiate football should be prohibited to Harvard students in 1906, and until a reasonable game of football shall have been formulated, and fully exemplified in the practice of individual colleges."
This action by the Faculty does not materially change the football situation, and is merely an action supplementary to that recently taken by the Board of Overseers. Whether or not Harvard will take part in any intercollegiate football games next fall now depends upon the action of the Athletic Committee in sanctioning a new set of playing rules which shall satisfy the Board of Overseers.
