TOO MUCH ATHLETICS IN COL
LEGES.

New York, October 9.-At a conference
representing the faculty committee on
athletics Of the principal American uni
versities, which was held at Brown Uni.
versity, Providence, r. Lon February
IS, 1898, a subcommittee was appointed
to investigate the entire matter of inter-
collegiate competitions in all its phases,
and to prepare report upon the same.
The final report Of the committee has
just been made public.
The report states that at present, ath-
etio sports occupy a disproportionate
amount of attention In many of our uni
versities, colleges and schools, and the
main feature Of all should be to
prevent outdoor sports and physical ex-
ercises from interfering with the mental
and moral training of students. 1t seems
far wiser to mend abuses by guidance and
regulation than to end them by the abo-
Ition of the sports.
