Cornell and Football.
The following Is the resolution adopt
ed by the faculty Of Cornell University
on the question of football:
.The faculty deem 1t desirable to
limit all intercollegiate football con-
tests. SO far as feasible, to college
grounds, and 1t Is of the opinion that no
student who is markedly deficient In
his university work shall be allowed to
play on any team. 1t believes further
that the number of absences from town
should be reduced and reiterates its
action Of Oct. 8, 1894, namely: We do
not regard any person as qualified to be
a member Of q university team who
comes to the university without the in
tention of remaining at least n year,
or who receives any remuneration or
consideration of any kind for his ser.
vices"
Delaware College, through its facul-
ty, has decided that the football team
of that institution shall enter no con
tests except with school teams, and It
will probably add that no one shall be
permitted to play in any contests whose
class standing Is not satisfactory to the
professors.
When the rule was adopted It met
with some objections, but to-day the
students freely admit that the action
of the faculty was not only proper but
also important.

Here's an anecdote: Over in Eng
land, a good many years ago, a maid
was heard saying to herself: II don't
see how In the world Missus combs
her hair every day. I comb mine only
once a month and it most kills me-"
Some teachers say: II don't see how
on earth children can write compost.
tons every day or two. Mine write
only once a term, and 1t most kills
them."-C. d. Hill.
