In view of the fact that the question of whether or not the Big Three football agreement is a handicap to Yale, Princeton, and Harvard is a widely discussed one at the present, the Crimson has seen fit to publish it again for the benefit of those who are not familiar with it. The complete agreement follows:

1.FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR INDUCEMENTS

The University Committee on Eligibility shall, in advance of competition, require of each candidate for competition in any sport a detailed statement of the sources of his financial support, including any sums earned during vacation. In the case of each athlete who is shown to have received financial aid from others than those on whom he is naturally dependent for support, the committee shall then, in advance of his competitions, submit the facts to the Committee of the Three Chairmen (representing the three universities) which shall decide upon his eligibility.

In cases in which the motives for extending aid to an athlete are not clear to the Committee of the Three Chairmen, that committee shall take into account failure on the part of the athlete to maintain a creditable record in his academic course in character, scholarship, and willingness to meet his obligations, as evidence that a continuance of financial aid to the athlete on grounds of character, scholarship, and conduct seems unwise, and that therefore the committee may have to declare him ineligible.

In interpreting Rules 1 and 2 below, the Committee of the Three Chairmen shall take into consideration the motives of those who give the aid and the motives of those who receive it.

1. No student who has ever received any pecuniary reward or its equivalent by reason of his connection with athletics--whether for playing, coaching or acting as teacher in any branch of sport or engaging therein in any capacity--shall represent his University in any athletic team or crew, except that the Committee of Three Chairmen may permit such participation in intercollegiate athletes by men ho might technically be debarred under the letters of the rule, but who, in the judgment of the University Committee on Eligibility, have not commercialized their athletic ability nor offended against the spirit of the foregoing provision.

2. No student shall represent his University in any athletic team or crew who received from other than those on whom he is naturally dependent for financial support money, by gift or loan, or the equivalent of money, such as board and lodgings, etc., unless the source and character of these gifts or payments to him shall be approved by the Committee of the Three Chairmen, on the ground that they have not accrued to him primarily because of his ability as an athlete. Cases are to be submitted in advance to the University Committee on Eligibility. A student who takes part in summer baseball or in the work of a summer camp, for example, without first securing the approval of the University Committee on Eligibility for his plans, jeopardizes his right thereafter to represent his University in any team or crew.

3. The University Committee on Eligibility shall have power, however, to grant permission in advance to a student to engage in athletics whether during term time or vacation, as the representative of an organization not connected with the University, under such conditions, not at variance with the spirit of the rule, as it may approve. It may also decide cases involving unintentional, technical, or trivial violations of the foregoing rules, which are intended to prevent discrimination either in favor of or against a student because he is an athlete.

Awards of all scholarships, prizes, and of all loans made by the University shall be approved by a duly authorized officer or committee of the University, and the terms, and the names of the recipients, of all scholarships and prizes shall be published in the catalogue of the University.

The three universities wholly disapprove of all propaganda, either through special inducements or through disparagement of other institutions, to induce boys in the schools to go to a particular institution. The defraying of part or all of the expense of visiting the university by anyone except the persons may be interpreted to disqualify him from representing that university in any intercollegiate sport, if in the judgment of the Committee of the Three Chairmen such aid was given to induce the recipient to enter that institution.

II. SCHOLASTIC STANDING

1. No student shall be eligible to membership in a University team or crew until he has completed satisfactorily a full year's work at the requirements for advancement with his class as determined by the Faculty.

2. No student shall be eligible for a University or Freshman team or crew unless he is in good scholastic standing at his University, as determined by the faculty of that institution.

3. No student shall be eligible for membership in any University team or crew who has lost his class standing because of deficiency in scholarship or because of University discipline, until after one year from the time at which he lost his class standing, unless in the meantime he shall have been restored to his former class standing by action of his University Faculty.

III. THREE-YEAR RULE AND TRANSFERRED STUDENTS
