It is possible that this inter-collegiate conference may be able to suggest changes and reforms in the rules and practices of our sports, which, being adopted by the several college and inter-collegiate associations, will lead to the elimination of all really objectional features from athletics, and may forestall any further restrictions on them by the more determined of the college faculties. We are sure that such a convention would be very ready to receive and act upon any suggestions for practical reform offered...
