ALTHOUGH the Fall Meeting has been given up this year, nevertheless the new managers of the Athletic Association show that they do not intend to allow athletics to decline during the coming season. Several hare-and-hound meets, a lawn-tennis tournament, and a five-mile run, all within a few weeks, indicate considerable activity on the part of the officers.
