The Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America held its thirty-fourth annual meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York on Saturday. T. G. Rockwell of Cornell presided, and J. D. Leland '09 represented the University.
The most important action taken was the adoption of the executive committee's recommendation to hold this year's meet on Soldiers Feld on May 28 and 29. James E. Sullivan, president of the Amateur Athletic Union, was chosen to referee the games. Joseph Daniels Leland '09, of Brookline, manager of the University track team, was elected manager of the meet.
Article 10 of the by-laws, in regard to cross-country running, was amended to read as follows: "No college shall enter more than 12 men for any one competition, or start more than 5, except in the cross-country run, in which contest 20 men may be entered by each member of the Association, 7 of whom may start, and the first 5 qualify." Formerly, only 12 entries were allowed. The University of Virginia, Bowdoin College, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology were admitted to membership in the Association.
The convention elected the following officers for the ensuing year: president, H. E. Hall of Columbia; vice-presidents, W. W. Porter, Jr., of Syracuse, and G. T. Burns of Dartmouth; secretary, A. J. H. McGrath, of New York University: treasurer, H. C. Gilmour of Pennsylvania. The new Executive Committee has the following members: A. L. Geyelin of Pennsylvania, J. D. Leland of Harvard, T. G. Rockwell of Cornell, and N. A. Seabury of Yale.
