| Swarthmore, Pa, Dec. AT a meet
ing of the board of managers OF Swarth-
more college President Joseph Swain made
statement concerning the recent tenta-
tive bequest to the college by the late
Anna II. Jeanes. an aged Quaker spin
ster OF Philadelphia. The Quaker lnsti-
tuition was to receive coal lands valued,
presumably, at sl.0oo00O provided that ev-
cry athletic sport was abolished from the
college for oil time
President Swain said that in the
thought that the question of accepting
all the colleges and universities OF this
and other countries, he had sent out IS
letters TO representative presidents OF coll
leges and universities. asking for their
opinions. The questions were:
I'm your opinion, have the trustees of
college the right 10 bind for all time
an institution % learning by such re-
striction as the one mentioned In the fore
going?
"If so--if the principle OF accepting
conditional gifts be approved-should the
gift be accepted I'm case IL amounts to ST.
100000 or more?'
If the gift should be $4,000, what
them"
summary OF the answers shows tho
following results: Question No. Ill neg
ative, affirmative, s non-committal, 2
YES. legally; no, morally. Question No. ,
--l3 negative, affirmative, 4 non-com-
initial; one unanswered. Question No 3
III negative, non-committal, 4 unan-
swered.
President Woodrow Wilson of Prince
ton wrote: II have many times argued
with myself about the peculiar question
which Swarthmore has now To decide.
and have never come TO any satisfactory
conclusion. IL Is most puzzing and
singular question"
Nobody has offered 90 give us any
money on the conditions named In yours

President Eliot OF Harvard wrote: ''I do
not know whether. under the statutes OF
Pennsylvania and the decisions OF It's
courts. the present trustees OF swarth-
more college have a right TO bind the coll
lege for all time TO go without all forms
of intercollegiate athletic sports. am
clear however that Il is inexpedient for
tho present trustees 10 undertake 10 go
bind the trustees OF TO or 200 years honeo."
President Schurman OF Cornell said
"On general principles ] am convinced
that our colleges and universities should
be centres OF unrestricted freedom. I see |
no reason why board OF trustees which |

Beginning to-day the executive officers
OF the Board Of Health will be instructed
to watch closely the disposal of the gar
bage collected throughout the city and
see that all Of il Is taken to the reduc-
ton plant. Any one found hauling this
material from the city will be arrested
and made liable to a fine OF fify dollars.

an offense to cart away the garbage has
been in effect but 1t could not be strictly
enforced because the disposal plant was
not In condition to handle all the material
brought to il. Now however, the plant
can accept all the garbage brought there
and more than this the men at the plant
want all the garbage collected IN the city.
The Board Of Health has learned that

tractors. have been purchasing the gar
bage and hauling Il Through the Ct y
streets in open wagons TO their farms or
piggeries where II is fed to live stock.
