Samborski Report Of Last Year On House Athletics

HOUSE ATHLETICS

Under this plan, which has been approved by the Masters of the seven Houses and other University authorities, there will be an "Inter-House Athletic Council" consisting of one Master chosen by the House Masters, the Director of Athletics, the Director of Intramural Athletics, and eight House Athletic Secretaries. This Council will act as a general co-ordinating and advisory body and will make recommendations on matters of policy.

The House athletic secretaries will be Seniors and will have the immediate responsibility of carrying out the details of the program in their respective Houses. In each House two Juniors will be appointed assistant secretaries--one of those to be the secretary in his Senior year. The secretaries and the assistants will receive compensation for their services.

(Ed Note: The CRIMSON has extracted the names of the new secretaries from Mr. Samborski's report and printed them instead in the adjoining column on this page.)

The eight secretaries, William J. Bingham '16, Director of Athletics, and Adolph W. Samborski, Director of Intramural Athletics, and a House master to be appointed, will comprise the Inter-House Athletic Council.
