...petition to make Mr. Ferris a paid instructor of the university. I am in favor of giving all possible exercise to the students and as much instruction in athletics as is reasonable; but I think that until the experiment of having a paid assistant in the gymnasium and for general athletics, has been tested by some years of experience it is too soon to talk about engaging any further instructors, especially for special lines of instruction...

These resolutions will go before the faculty, and will serve to bring an evil to their notice, in a manner in which it has never before been presented, from the side of student conviction.
