NEW ATHLETIC RULES.
Changes Recommended by Commit-
tee of I, Cc. A.A.
eee
A meeting of the Executive Commit-
tee of the Intercollegiate Athletic as-
sociation was held on Friday evening,
January 8, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
New York City, for the purpose of con-
sidering and deciding on the changes
in the constitution and by-laws, which
are to be brought up at the annual
meeting of the Association, to be held
on February 27.
Among the additions to the consti-
tion is an amendment that provides
“that, in case a competitor’s qualifica-
tions as to regular attendance at col-
lege are questioned. he shall furinsh a
certificate, signed by the dean of h's
department and two other members of
the Faculty, which shall be conclu-
Sive,’”’ and another which provides
that the referee of the field meeting
shall be a non-college man. An amend-
ment was also received on which pro-
vides “that any associate college not
sending to the Secretary of the Asso-
ciation before the annual meeting evi-
dence of at least one athletic meeting
held under the rules of the I. C. A. A.
A. A. during the college year shall pay
a fine of $25.’
An important change in the by-laws
will provide that the Executive Com-
mittee shall select a manager, to have
control of the arrangements for the
annual fiell mecting, who shall be an
experienced college graduate.
The mest important change consider-
at the meeting was in regard to the
bicycle contests. The rules of the L.
A. W. prevents an amateur from hav-
ing his traveling expenses paid, and as
the races at the Intercollegiate meet
are under the sanction of the L. A.
W., a competitor in the bicycle events
has been obliged to pay all his ex-
penses, while the expenses of the other
contestants were paid by the manage-
ment of the team which he represent-
ed. .
The Executive Committee voted
unanimously to send G. T. Kirby of
Columbia, President of the Intercol-
legiate A. A., as a delegate to attend
the annual] assembly of the L. A. W.,
which is to be held next month in
Albany. Mr. Kirby will insist that the
jurisdiction over bicycle races held in
closed intercollegiate meeting's be left
solely in the hands of the Intercolle-
giate A. A. In case this demand is
granted by the Governing Board of the
L. A. W., the traveling expenses of
the bicycle men will be paid, as with
the other competitors, but their ama-
teur standing will remain intact.

Yale Fencing Club.
Through the courtesy of the Direc-
tors a room in the Gymnasium has
this year been placed at the disposal
of the University Fencing Club.
James Murry, one of the best masters
of fencing in New York, has been en-
gaged to give instruction twice a
week. The management of the club
has in view several intercollegiate
matches to be held during the Winter
in the Gymnasium under the instruc-
tion of Mr. Murry, and the practice of
these proposed matches Yale’s repre-
sentatives should make a very cred-
itable showing in the intercollegiate
tournament to be held in New York
City about EHaster time.

A Letter from the Late George
L. Catlin ’°60.
A letter from the late George L. Cat-
lin, ’60, sent to his class secretary ait
the time of the class reunion jin 1895,
to whiich reference was made in the
last issue of the Weekly, is printed:
Munilich, Germany, June 6th, 1895.
William H. Hurlbut, Esq.,
Secretary Class of 1860, Yale:
My Dear Classmate:
I had certainly hoped and believed
when I wrote you last Winter from
Italy, that I should be able to aitteng
our class reunion this month. But,
as the day approaches, I find it will
be impossible for me to be present, go
I reluctantly eontent myself with the
alternative of writing to wou, and
through you, to all my classmates, ex-
presing my regret at not being able
to join with them in the coming fes-
tivities. I had set my heart upon be-
ing with you all, and I ask you to be-
lieve me when I state that my disap-
pointment is great. It is now over
eighteen years since I came to reside
in Hurope, and of these eighteen years,
sixteen have been passed in the con-
sular service of our beloved country,
upholding the honor and dignity of -
that same dear old flag, which, in my
younger days, I foliewed to victory
through the smoke and storm of bat-
tle. But ‘‘coelum, non animam mu-
tant, qui trans mare current.” Belicve
me, classmates, that in spite of time
and distance, wherever I am, as long
as I live, I am a devoted lover of my
native land, a fond son of our Alma
Mater, and an enthusiastic member of
the Class of Sixity. Think of me al-
ways as all of these, and I shall ask
no warmer place in your hearts.
Your absent clasmate,
GEORGE L. CATLIN.

Anniversary Meeting of Phi
Beta Kappa, _
The postponed anniversay meeting
of Phi Beta Kappa was held in room
11, Phelps hall, Wednesday evening,
Jan. 6. Messrs. Brooke, Brubaicher
and Wheeler were appointed a com-
mittee to draw up suitable resolutions
regarding the death of Professor New-
ton and of General Walker. Mr. Kel-
logg, ’95, read a scholarly and inter-
esting paper on the origin of Phi
Beta Kappa. Professor Peck, the grad-
uate president of the sOciety, spoke on
the ideals which a member of the so-
ciety should set before himself of the
advantages in after life which the
training of close intellectual work af-
fords. He alluded to the statement
of President Eliot of Harvard, found-
ed on careful study of the Harvard
records, that speaking broadly, it was
the men who distinguished themselves
in intellectual lines in college, who
gained renown for the college in after
life. He expressed the hope that a
Similar study might be made of the
Yale records, adding that this general
rule held true of his own class and
of those immediately preceding and >
following his. He closed with a recom-
mendation to the members to make
the most of what yet remains of their
college course, and to fulfill the ideal
of a scholar—to know something about
everything, and everything about
