PRINCETON'S DECISION.

In regard to inter-collegiate athletic regulations the Princeton faculty has voted that letters should be sent to the faculties of other colleges inquiring as to their action. If five of the colleges most nearly associated with Priceton's athletic interests concur, the resolutions will be adopted. A member of the faculty committee said that the object was to eliminate the professional standard from college athletics and to put the men of all colleges on an equal basis. Harvard, he said, would pass the resolutions any way, but Princeton would not concur on that account or on account of the concurrence of five of the smaller colleges. "Yale," said the gentleman, "did not act fairly in not attending the convention. It would not have compromised her. The idea is that Yale will be compelled to come in on account of having to forfeit otherwise the race with Harvard. Our idea for Princeton is to let the students have a field-master, who shall have charge of all out-door branches, and be moderately versed in all, and to put college athletics on a college basis."
