YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY
STRONGER STAND AT PRINCETON.
The Main Points in Eligibility Rules
There.
(Correspondence ot Yale Weekly.)
Princeton, N. J., Jan. 30.—The eligi-
bility rules at Princeton have not been |
jrinted nor reduced to a systematic
form. This has not been done be-
cause they have for some time past
and are still to a certain extent under
advisement over some point on which
there is likely to be a change. There-
fore a complete and exact statement
of the rules as they exist would not
be possible nor would itbe advisable as
it might give a statement of some
parts which will not be in existence a
few months hence or might omit some
rules which are likely to be passed be-
fore lone.
It is possible, however, to give the
main characteristics of the rules now
in existence which are in addition to
the regular amateur rules which gov-
ern college athletics as follows:
1. A student coming from another
college cannot represent the Univer-
sity in championship games until he
has pursued a course occupying not
less than a year.
2. A special student, by this is meant
a Student not a candidate for a degree,
cannot play in any of the champion-
ship games until a year after entrance.
3. A student forfeits the privilege
of representing the College in athletic
contests in case he play, either in
term time or in vacation, in games at
which gate money is taken, as a rep-
resentative of any other organization.
4, No student under conditions is al-
lowed to engage in championship
games. A lightly conditioned student
is allowed to play in practice games
but before he can represent the col-
lege in championship games every
condition must be removed at the time
of the above mentioned game.
5. A dropped student shall not be
eligible to play on any athletic team
for one year after the time he has been
dropped.
It must be remembered that the
above is not an exact statement of the
Princeton eligibility rules but simply
their main features. The last men-
tioned has been passed recently and
there is every reason to believe that
there will be some other additions be-_
fore the close of the present college
year.
The committee at Princeton take a
stand for a more complete supervision
of athletics and a greater subordina-
tion to the curriculum duties. The
general feeling at Princeton is for a
common agreement among the large
universities especially Harvard, Yale
and Princeton governing the eligibility
rules in regard to class standing as
well as in regard to the amateur
question.

Essex County Alumni Dine,
The thirteenth annual meeting of the
Yale Alumni Association of Essex
County, New Jersey, was held at
Davis’s restaurant, Orange, N. J., on
Friday evening, January 29, 1897. The
meeting was well attended by mem-
bers residing in the Oranges, although
there were not many from Newark or
Morristown. This Association holds
occasional informal meetings during
the year for the cultivation of the Yale
spirit and good-fellowship among its
members, and the annual meeting par-
takes of the same character.
The report of the nominating com-
mittee was accepted and the following ©
officers. were unanimously elected:
President, Dickinson W. Richards, ’80;
members of the executive committee,
Class of 1901, David A. Kennedy, ’74
and Arthur E. Bostwick, ’81; nominat-
ing committee 1898, George M. Gill, ’88,
Wilfred /E. Eaton, °’85, Richard S.
Storrs, ’°85. President Richards made
a few remarks thanking the Associa-
tion for the honor of a re-election and
requesting its continued co-operation.
Mr. Malcolm MacLear, ’91, reported
that a Yale association had been formed
in Newark. It was not intended that
this should in any way interfere with
the County Association, but it was
hoped that it ~would increase the zeal
of the Yale men in Newark who did
not find it easy to attend the meetings
in Orange. Yale men in
should be “as lights set in a dark
place,’ almost wholly given over to
Princeton influence. The meetings of
the two associations would be held
in such a way as not to conflict; the
members of one should be “ipso
facto,’ members of the other, and the
Newark Association would turn out
in force at the annual banquet held
under the auspices of the County As-
sociation and make the occasion even
more successful than these dinners
have been wont to be. It was voted
that the executive committee be au-
thorized to take such steps as it should
deem expedient to further the objects
of the new organization.
After the business had been trans-
acted the Association sat down to an
admirably served chafing dish supper
consisting of raw oysters, chowder,
lobster a la Newburg, chicken a la
terrapin, celery salad, welsh rarebit,
cheese, ice cream, and coffee.
At the close of the spread the presi-
dent called upon Dr. Thomas W. Har-
vey, Princeton ’73, for some remarks.
Dr. Harvey spoke at some length of
Princeton’s debt to Yale who had fur-
nished the original impetus to the
formation of acollegein New Jersey—
a number of presidents and trustees,
He expressed the hope that soon an ar-
rangement might be brought about
hy which all athletic contests might
take place at the grounds of the uni-
versities instead of making a hippo-
drome show of our athletes in New
York. He made an earnest plea for
banishing the slightest taint of pro-
fessionalism from college athletics.
Mr. Henry B. Closson, Dartmouth,
79, spoke of the still greater debt that
his alma mater owed to Yale than
Princeton had done. He dwelt -upon
the statements made _ recently that
Yale and Dartmouth are no longer
colleges for poor men. The spirit of
these institutions had not changed;
even if more money was required than
was formerly necessary to go through
ecllege, and more was spent than for-
merly upon comfort, it was not more
than should be expected from the
growth of wealth in New England.
Mr. Charles A. Mead, ’84, gave some
account of the scene at Henley last
summer when Yale made her plucky
fight and told of the hearty cheers
which came to the defeated crew. Ac-
cording to custom, the shade of St.
Klihu was invoked with songs and
jests until a late hour, and it was the
unanimous vote of those present that
informal re-unions were a great suc-
cess.
