...cannot be said that the action of the Princeton faculty in the present athletic movement as thus far reported is very encouraging so far as Harvard is concerned. As it stands at present Yale has totally withdrawn from the business, Princeton is very doubtful, and is reported as probably opposed to the resolutions. As it seems to stand at present Harvard is expected to ally herself with some few of the smaller and less important colleges alone in accepting the new regulations. We do not know what grounds of hope the Harvard authorities have for hoping that the case will...
...Yale men in training for the college boat race said today: "Yale will not be governed in her policy by the action of other colleges, though she may be influenced to a certain extent. The talk about the race not being rowed unless Yale agrees to adopt the inter-collegiate rules is simply an attempt to bulldoze our college.

It is very improbable that any obstacle will arise...

...regard to inter-collegiate athletic regulations the Princeton faculty has voted that letters should be sent to the faculties of other colleges inquiring as to their action.

A member of the faculty committee said that the object was to eliminate the professional standard from college athletics and to put the men of all colleges on an equal basis. Harvard, he said, would pass the resolutions any way, but Princeton would not concur on that account or on account of the concurrence...
...Boston Advertiser of yesterday there was a list of the resolves drawn up at New York by the conference committee of the different colleges. It was understood that the resolutions and their adoption or rejection should not be made public until action had been taken on them by all the faculties separately. The reason was that the action of one should not influence the others, but that each should act independently. The article in the Advertiser was dated Providence, and from this we surmise that there must have been some breach of faith on the part of some...
