College Rejects Request Of Miss
Jeanes-Found to Be Not
Over $4,000.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March "a
Swarthmore College Will not abandon
participation in intercollegiate athlet-
les. The board of managers have
unanimously declined to accept the
bequest of mineral and coal lands made
by Miss Anna I. Jeanes. the wealthy
Quakeress. which carried with 1t the
proviso that Swarthmora withdraw
from all intercollegiate games.
The committee which investigated the
value of the bequest. which hinges on
the value of coal lands, reported that
the lands were worth anywhere from
$4,000 to $4,000. 1t has been believed
heretofore that the bequest would
amount to upward of s1,o0o0oo. The
land did not contain coal or other min
erals.
There is great rejoicing among the
students and alumni at the decision of
the trustees. as both students and grad
yates are opposed to the proposed with
drawal from intercollegiate sports;
The managers unanimously adopt ed
this resolution:
The board again aftirms it's belief
and sympathy with many of the views
as to intercollegiate athletics which
have been expressed by friends from
time to time, and it is believed that
good may grow out of the otherwise
restraining Influences may result not
only to Swarthmore, but over a wider
field. To this end we recommend to
the president and faculty the wide
spread concern of Friends on the sub
feet with Which concern we sympa-
thIze. and. we ask that Increased att y :.
ton be given by them to restraining
influence on the whsle subject, and es.
