At the preliminary meeting of all Freshmen which will be held in the New Lecture Hall this afternoon at 1.05, Director Geer will outline the new program of compulsory athletics. One of the chief points to be emphasized is the new arrangement whereby all men taking the military science courses will be excused from athletics, as they will receive an equivalent amount of exercise in their artillery training. In addition, those men who are playing rugby or soccer football, fall baseball, track or field sports, cross-country running, rowing, or lacrosse will be excused.

All undergraduate and graduate students who desire to form groups for either general physical exercise, or some special form of exercise such as boxing, wrestling, fencing, etc., should indicate their choice by signing either at the Hemenway Gymnasium, Leavitt & Peirce's, or Weld 3. If a sufficient number of men show interest, Director Geer will take charge of the organization of such groups.
