...colleges of the State are barred from admittance to the new association. Thus the line is distinctly drawn between these better institutions and those that are mere high schools with long names. Even now the State contains seventeen institutions eligible to membership. It seems about time that some such move should be made. The country is overrun with little "colleges" and "universities" which are not known beyond a radius of ten miles.

Prof. White expressed himself as being strongly in favor of continuing such contests. President Eliot stated that although some dozen years ago he had expressed himself in favor of such a move at present he did not wish to commit himself in favor of it. As to the first alternative, that seemed at present to be highly objectionable. The second was the measure which the faculty was striving to bring about. To effect this purpose a meeting of delegates from college faculties...
