ELIGIBILITY RULES,
Restrictions of Athletes at Harvard
and Vale, Now in Effect.
The following rules are adopted by
the University Boat Club regarding
the eligibility of Yale oarsmen. The
same restrictions are enforced by th2
Football, Track, Athletic and Base-
ball Associations:
I. No professional athlete, nor any
athlete who has ever received any pe-
cuniary profit by reason of his con-
nection with athletics, shall take part
in any contest of any Yale crew.
II. No man shall be eligible for a Yale
crew who is not a candidate for a de-
gree in a course requiring at least two
years’ residence and attendance upon
not less than eight hours of recitations
or lectures per week.
III. No man shall be eligible for a
Yale crew who, if not a Freshman in
the Academic or Scientific Depart-
ments, has not been in attendance one
full academic year at the University.
IV. No man who has been dropped
from his class for neglect of studies
shall be eligible for a Yale crew until
a full calendar year from the time of
his being dropped or until he be re-ad-
mitted to the class from which he was
dropped.
V. No student shall take part in any
contest of a Yale team in any one
branch of athletics for more than four
years. The year or years during which
any man shall have represented upon
any of its teams any other college shal)
be reckoned as if he had been a mem-
ber of a Yale team for this period.
THE YALE FACULTY RULE.
In addition the Yale Academic and
Scientific Faculties have adopted reg-
ulations which affect the eligibility of
athletes at Yale. The Academic rules
arte:
No student is allowed to represent
his Class or the College in any athletic
or musical organization, as _ Officer,
member or substitute, if he is under
discipline for irregularity of attend-
ance or conduct, or under warning of
low standing, or if his average mark
for the previous term (or half-term if
that be the first half of the second
term) was below 2.25.
The same restriction applies during
the Fall term to Freshmen having five
entrance conditions. ce]
The rules of the Scientific Faculty
were adopted last Fall and go into effect
this Spring for the first time:
“No student will be allowed to act
as officer or member of any athletic or
musical organization or be connected
with any college periodical:
‘1, If he is irregular in his attend-
ance upon his prescribed duties.
“9 If he is under official warning for
low standing.
“2 If he is under a condition which
has not been made up. In the case of
members of the Freshman Class, the
entrance conditions debarring men
from having a place on these organiza-
tions will be determined by the class
faculty.
“4, If the standing of the student, in
case he is a member of the Junior or
Senior Class, be below average for the
term or half-term preceding, in the
general studies of the class, and be-
low a certain higher grade, fixed by
the class faculty, in the special studies
of the particular course to which he
belongs. In the case of members of the
Freshman Class, the average mark of
all their studies must not fall under
2.26.”
These rules are practically the same
as those now in application in the Aca-~
demic Department, except that the lat-
ter do not cover the case of men who
are connected with College periodicals.
This is the first time that faculty re-
strictions have been placed upon work
for Yale College periodicals, although
it has sometimes been considered quite
as necessary as in the case of athletics.
RULES OF ELIGIBILITY AT HARVARD.
The rules of the Harvard Athletic
Committee regarding the eligibility of
members of the various athletic teams
are as follows:
Rule 1. No one shall be allowed to
represent Harvard University in any
public athletic contest, either indi-
vidually or as a member of any’ team,
unless he can satisfy the Committee
on Regulation of Athletic Sports that
he is, and intends to be throughout
the College year, a bona fide member
of the University, taking a full year’s
work.
Rule 2. No students on probation
can take part in any public athletic
contest. A student who is dropped
for neglect of his studies into a lower
class shall be debarred from taking

certificate that he has made up ail
the deficiencies which stand in the way
of his restoration to his original class.
Rule 3. No one who is not a regular
student in the College or Scientific
School, and no regular student in eith-
er of these departments who has ever

vard team until he has resided one
academic year at the University and
passed the annual examinations upon
a full year’s work. * \
Rule 4. No student shall be allowed
to wepresent Harvard University in
any public athletie contest, either in-
dividually or aS a° member of any

money prize, or a Share of the en-
trance fees or admission money; or

ganization in athletic contests e-=-
ceeded his ordinary expenses.
Rule 5. No student, whether he ha;
represented one or more colleges shal!

NEW LONDON WANTS THE RACE.
Letter trom Board of Trade—To be
Decided Next Saturday.
The New London Board of Trade have
been making great efforts to have the
- Yale-Harvard-Cornell, and the Cornell-
Pennsylvania-Columbia races, together
with the two Freshmay .races, rowed at
New London this spring. The follow-
ing letter has been sent by them to Mr,
Bangs, chairman of the Cornell-Penn-
sylvania-Columbia Rowing Committee,
to Captain Goodrich, of the Harvard
crew, and to the management of the
Yale Navy :
‘On behalf of the citizens of New
London we extend to the crews of Har-
vard, Yale and Cornell an invitation to
‘row their forthcoming boat races on the
-Thames River course, we offering on
our part a four (4) mile course suitable
for tour (4) or more crews, as per new
survey as shown on enclosed map, prop-
erly flagged and marked, and free from
all obstructions on days of races, with
suitable press boat for university races.
We also offer free transportation for the
University and Freshman crews, for
their boats and launches, to and from
New London, Harvard having perma-
nent quarters erected, we will provide
suitable quarters for the University and
Freshman crews of Cornell and Yale.
‘‘ We will give to the contesting crews
the sum of fifty (50) cents on each ticket
sold for observation train on day of
University race. We promise ample
railroad and steamboat tacilities to and
from all points on day of race, and will
assist in every way to the welfare and
enjoyment of the crews, and extend
every inducement for the comfort and
pieasure of visitors.
‘* Yours respectfully,
‘‘ EDMUND 8. NEILAN.”
For the Regatta Committee, New Lon-
don Board of Trade.
It is estimated that the expenses of
the crews at New London would be
about $3,000. This has all been assumed
by the Board of Trade, as it would be
for floats, fares, rent of quarters and
such items, and the crews would be
called upon to pay for nothing but the
real training: ‘The question of a place
for the races will be decided at a meet-
ing to be held Saturday evening, when
representatives from Yale, Harvard,
Cornell and the Poughkeepsie Board of
Trade will be present. She meeting
will be held at the Fifth Avenue hotel,
in New York, and J. 8S. Wheelwright,
97, will represent Yale.
The Corbett Letter.
No action has been taken by the Fac-
ulty in regard to the letter and Yale
flag that were sent to James J. Corbett,
wishing him success in the prize fight
on St. Patrick’s Day. The members of
the Faculty were extremely indignant
at the dozen Juniors who perpetrated
the deed, but with few exceptions
thought the matter one to be judged
and censured by the public sentiment
of the undergraduates, rather than by
any disciplinary act of the Faculty. It
is said that some of the professors,
however, were in favor of some very
rigorous measures in the direction of
punishing the members of the Corbett
Club, for an act that, in their minds,
retiected discredit upon the University.
The next meeting of the Faculty takes
place this afternoon (Thursday, March
25), and it is possible that this question
will be brought up for discussion, but
no direct action is anticipated.
Whe efforts of the Juniors to recover
the flag that was sent to Mr. Corbett,
have, as far as can now be learned,
not been crowned with success. No
mention was made in the accounts of
the fight of the presence of a Yale flag
in Corbett’s ‘‘corner.”

~ Th
Fayerweather Will Case.
The final decision in regard to the set-
tlement of the Fayerweather will case
was reached at Albany, March 23, when
the Court of Appeals denied, with costs,
the motion fora reargument. This al-
lows the court’s decision of several
weeks ago to stand, by the terms of
which the $2,500,000 residue of. the es-
tate was to be distributed among the
twenty colleges that were originally
named in the tenth clause of the will.

ence, covers nearly half aé_e cen-
tury. In that time she has more than
quadrupled her matriculates.
“T have no desire to be too technical
or tedious on an occasion like this, when
everybody, except the senior and pre-
siding officer, is expected to be as light
and sparkling as the vintage which
cheers us. But we owe it as a duty on
these occasion to put in a serious word
for our Alma Mater.
“IT am sorry to find. that. .there are
only five Kentuckians in the Academi-
cal Department of Yale. Althought born
in the South and regarded extreme in
my local devotion, I have always
thought it would be better for the
country if there was a larger attend-
ance of the young men of each section
upon the educational institutions of the
other. I have found its tendency to
confirm rather than weaken one’s love
for home, but yet to broaden one’s
views, and substitute argument for
prejudice. The South has wisely pa-
tronized Northern institutions with
benefit, as the influence of her educa-
ted men attests. But it remains for the
North and the Hast to follow her exam-
ple. We have representatives in Yale,
Harvard, Cornell and Princeton, but
who hears of students from New En-
gland or the belt above the Potomac
and Ohio in the University of Virginia
or Tulane? It is only by such recip-
rocity that intellectual free trade can
thrive and the thick walls of provin-
cialism and prejudice can be. broken
down. There is no sectionalism in
scholarship, and education should be as
broad as liberty itself and the patriot-
ism of a.man should be directly and his
sectionalism inversely as the breath of
his education.”’ &
At the business meeting of the As-
sociation the following officers were
elected: President, Col. J. .Stoddard

mites, (ooT:. Batiard,: 408... Dr abc.
