...discussion on Friday at the Inter-collegiate Base-ball Convention in regard to the new rule of the national league, limiting the pitcher to six called balls in place of seven. If the rule is adopted, it will of course give a great advantage to pitchers who have good control of the ball, and likewise be detrimental to those who have not. We strongly favor the new rule, however, for the reason that it gives the batsman a fairer show to hit the ball, and will tend to greatly raise the batting averages which were so low last year...
...resolutions to govern college athletics that were drawn up by the committee composed of college faculties. The faculty of the college, it was stated, had not yet decided what action they would take upon the resolutions, inasmuch as Columbia College had no dormitories, and the faculty had no control over the students after instruction hours.

They also objected to the resolution appointing a committee from faculties of colleges to have full supervision and control of the sports, and also...

Many others would graduate with impaired bodily powers, and others still as slaves to habits of dissipation...
...nothing but fight over the spoils. The responsibility is so divided among the committees that lobbying can kill any bill, however important. In State affairs the same trouble exists, especially in Massachusetts. The governor has no power, and no responsibility. Boards and commissions, paid and directed by the legislature, control everything in the State, and are entirely irresponsible. Thus there is no common system in the government, since everybody is independent of everyone else. General Butler when he brought up this point, was elected, for the people wanted to know what was happening in these boards and commissions. He said...
...resolutions of the college faculties as a whole, but one section-that which allowed students only the four years of college or university in which to take part in the games the students favored. Columbia said that after a student left the college grounds, the faculty had no control over him; it was true the faculty sent a representative to the convention of the faculties, and it was thought to be in favor of the resolutions, yet it was fair enough to state openly that it had little right to assume much control over affairs outside of the campus...
