STUDENT OPINION.

At last Saturday's meeting of the Inter-collegiate Athletic Association in New York, the new athlete regulations were vigorously discussed by representatives of nearly all the colleges present. The general drift of opinion was nearly unanimously opposed to the new move, and the expression of such opinion was explicit and emphatic enough.

Mr. Douglass, of Lehigh University, said that the bad feeling caused by this interference of the college faculties was apparent. If professional trainers could not be employed, the spirit of college athletics would be rooted out, for while the association did not believe in much professionalism, a little was indispensable. It was then decided to call the roll of the colleges represented and ascertain the general feeling. Amherst's representative stated that he had been instructed to oppose the resolutions of the college faculties as a whole, but one section-that which allowed students only the four years of college or university in which to take part in the games the students favored. Columbia said that after a student left the college grounds, the faculty had no control over him; it was true the faculty sent a representative to the convention of the faculties, and it was thought to be in favor of the resolutions, yet it was fair enough to state openly that it had little right to assume much control over affairs outside of the campus and which did not seriously interfere with college duties. Cornell's representative said the faculty would ascertain the feeling of the students before taking action; the students were strongly opposed to them. The young gentlemen from the College of the City of New York said that their college, as far as its students were concerned, would fully accept the action of the Inter-collegiate Athletic Association. From the delegates from Lafayette it was ascertained that the faculty there generally consulted with the students in regard to such meters; the students decidedly opposed any such action as the indorsing of the resolutions. The Lehigh University men said that their faculty did not hamper the college athletic association, and it had not been their policy so to do; the students far from favored the resolutions. Princeton's faculty was said to approve the resolutions; the students were decidedly against the interference of the faculty with their athletic affairs. Stevens Institute said the faculty would adopt the resolutions, and the students were all against them. The faculty of the University of Pennsylvania were reported to oppose the resolutions, and the students heartily shook hands with the faculty on that point. "It is well known," said Mr. Booth, of Yale College, "that the faculty and students, to a man, oppose the resolutions." Harvard's students would assist in any effort to stop the movement, and did not believe in the action of their instructors.
