"guilt" under the regulation
about to be enforced. He not
only was vague and indefinite
but left definitions so wide open
that not a single one was marked
by all positive or all negative
language. On the contrary, every
definition was featured by alb
stract, ambiguous and anything
but decisive or understandable
language.
MAY and May Not"
In relation to these definitions,
the following offers evidence:
Q.-(by meeting attendant)-
will this regulation affect
students who do not develop
athletic ability until their junior
year and who are attending col
lege on q scholarship?
Prof. JOnes-It may and 1t
may not.
Q.-What about the training
table? Does it constitute q viO-
latiOn of this regulation?
Alt may and it may not.
Q.-WiIl you 60 behind the
word of q president to deter
mine the guilt or innocence Of
an accused institution?
Ave may and we may not.
Q.-Under the commissions
interpretations will the school
of physical education be per.
mitted to give q scholarship?
Att may and it may not.
| PROBABLE MEANING
II Professor Jones and his COM
mission win the fight to enforce
the regulation it probably means
that definitions of purposes and
functions of colleges will be post
poned, that boards of trustees and
Faculty recommending policy
Eforming committees and execu-
Hives of colleges and universities
will give in to forces which, If
Hhey carry their authority a few
lEteps farther, may actually tell
boards of trustees what those
boards may and may not do;
may actually tell executives, such
as presidents, not only what they
may and may not do, but whom
Nthey may hire, whom they may
Hire, what they may and may not
fpermit to be taught within their
institutions: and, may actually set
pup the subjects which may be
5taught students.
# DR.. Marvin and his faction
win the fight, and a new regula'
ftion is substituted, particularly
one which defines money" as
"any money no matter "whose
money" it is, it seems certain that
educators may no longer escape
their duties Of defining the true
purposes and functions Of educa'
tion.
On Their Honor
It is obvious that the present
regulation is too indefinite to
achieve purity in the field Of in
tercollegiate athletics. Prof. Jones
interpretations clearly indicate
that.
If the new regulation goes
through, achievement Of athletic
purity is a comparatively simple
matter, for university boards of
trustees, presidents and recon-
mending policy forming faculty
committees will be placed on their
honor to enforce the new regula-
ton, something that is not per-
1nitted, or desired. apparently, by
the commission in the case of the
present regulation.
If DR.. Marvln's faction wins
the giving and taking of scholar
ship will be an honest and honor
able transaction between univer
sity or college and student, and
not the alleged dishonest and dis
honorable transaction it now
constitutes.
Matter of Mentality
Further, if DR.. Marvin's faction
wins, the colleges and universities
that believe alike will be grouped
together in an association of their
own, will contest among them
selves in intercollegiate games
and will face no artificial barriers
to the giving by the school and
the taking by students of scholar
ships.
# DR.. Marvin's faction wins,
more than likely a new form of
adult education will spring up
almost overnight. This form of
