BINGHAM SUPPORTS SUPERVISION FOR VARSITY ATHLETES

In a move to cooperate with the University's policy to eliminate tutoring school activity, William J. Bingham '16, Director of Athletics, sent letters today to all coaches asking them to recommend the newly established Bureau of Supervision to students in scholastic difficulties.

Bingham took this action in the form of a personal letter to each coach in an effort to remedy what was previously one of the frequent practices of the tutoring schools.

Tutoring School Decoys

For several years well known athletes who, because of their outside activities, fell behind in their work were given free tutoring by the cram bureaus in return for their prestige and influence as drawing cards to bring in other students.

The Director of Athletics in his letters pointed out the provisions made for students who could not afford to pay for their tutoring. The Committee on the Supervision of Students has set up a system of rates that provides for a charge of from nothing to $2.50 per hour according to the student's ability to pay.

No Prohibition on Tutoring Schools

The Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports, however, has not yet set down any blanket prohibition of the use of tutoring schools by athletes.

The University hopes to benefit both the men concerned and the University's drive against the schools, according to Bingham.
