Gildersleeve, '90, secretary; R. Palmer, '91, treasurer. Directors-School of Arts: H. M. Banks, '89; A. S. Vosburg, '90; J. W. Walker, '91; E. M. Post, '92; School of Mines: H. C. Pelton, '89; S. R.

The intention of the organization is to raise about one thousand dollars and to put a team into training quarters about the middle of September, about three weeks before college opens. Before adjourning the association passed a motion favoring the appointment by the Alumni Association of an advisory committee on athletics.
