INT ERGOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
A. G. M. College Invites Other lnstitu-
tions to Council for the Purpose
Of Agreeing on Uniform
Requirements.

A meeting of the faculty representa-
tives of those Texas colleges and uni.
versities whose students take part in
intercollegiate athletics is to be held
at Waco, April IA, to discuss athletic
conditions and to agree upon some uni.
formity of academic requirements.
This meeting is the result of a move
ment inaugurated by the faculty of
a. & NJ college. Every institution of
higher education in Texas desires to
allow its students to take part in ath-
letic contests OF an intercollegiate ma
ture. These contests arouse an enthu-
siasm in the student body. bring about
friendly rivalry as to the merits OF
the various teams, and keep up an in
terest among the former students. but
the sentiment in each faculty in these
Institutions is in favor of requiring
excellence. in school duties of those
students who are members of the va
rious athletic teams. In each of the
institutions there are academic re-
Quirements fixed for the athletes, but
just how uniform all these require
ments are It is now hard to tell. Re
Gently the faculty of A. & NJ. college
adopted the following:
Resolved. That the faculty of the
\. & NJ. College Of Texas propose TO
the other Texas colleges a conference
on the subject Of athletics. each col
lege whose students take part in inter-
collegiate athletics to be represented
by one member OF its faculty, the con-
ference not tc consider the rules of
the several athletic games. but such
matters as the conditions under which
students may take part in intercol-
legiate contests and the number OF
days they may be absent on trips

several faculties with the view of Sc

in these matters"
Under the rules of the University of
Texas and the A. 4 NJ. College Of

of scholarship is required of all those
who do participate in athletic contests

is anxious to have the whole subject
discussed, and to that end this move
ment was started. 1t is believed that
such discussion by faculty repre-
sentatives of the institutions win re-

round.
Acting on the resolution quoted
above, Prof. Charles .Puryear, dean OF
