Providence Athletic Conference.

The Athletic conference of the Eastern universities called at the invitation of Brown University was begun in Providence yesterday afternoon. Delegates are to be sent by Princeton, Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania. Harvard's delegates are to be Professor I. N. Hollis, F. W. Moore '93, and E. G. Burgess '98. The conference, as has already been stated, will have no binding effect on the universities represented, but the opinions expressed and the general conclusions reached will, it is hoped, react in favor of uniformity of regulations governing college athletics in the East.
