COLLEGE ORBIT.
The faculty at Harvard has sent to
the athletic committee its opinion
that football should be prohibited to
Harvard students in 1906 unless “a
reasonable game shall have been
formulated.” The athletic com
mittee will probably have some re
gard for this resolution, as repre
senting the official attitude of the
university. The athletic committee
is composed of three faculty mem
bers, three graduates, and three un
dergraduates.
President Reed of Dickinson Col
lege in a recent address before the
student body said that football as
played at present is based on a
wrong principle, that of personal
combat, man against man. He
claims it does not develop any de
gree of honor among the students or
the players themselves.
Eight women students have en
tered a large class in vivisection,
which will be taught at the Univer
sity of Chicago. They will experi
ment on dogs, tor which they pay
50 cents each; cats, for which they
pay 25 cents each; and, as one of
the instructors said, on ‘‘anything
else they can get hold of.”
In the past two years out of over
22,000 students who played football
in sixty of the most prominent col
leges, 654 received injuries, eight
were injured permanently, and three
died from injuries received in games.
This will compare very favorably
with automobiling as a sport. Yet
no one will put up a howl against
this reckless sport.
At Stanford University the num
ber of women students is limited to
five hundred. No women are al
lowed there as special students, or
in partial standing. A numbered
waiting list will be kept this year. It
is very probable that many qualified
candidates must be rejected in the
fall of 1906.
THE STATE COLLEGIAN

Harvard has given the University
of Pennsylvania another ‘‘dig” in
one of its latest decisions. To its
baseball men it has decreed that

vania will no longer count as a game
in earning their *‘H.”
Dr. Lyman Abbot, D.D., of New
York has accepted the invitation of
the Senior Class at Harvard to de
liver their baccalaureate sermon in
Appleton Chapel, Sunday, June 17.
President Hall of Clark University
is not in favor of the present system
of college examinations. He declares,
they are entirely too difficult State
ments have been made that Yale is
talking over the tutorial system with
a possible view of adopting it. The
system has been in full effect at
Princeton and Chicago Universities
and is found to work admirably.
A new liquid air plant lately de
signed by Prof. W. P. Bradley, of
Wesleyan University, has been in
stalled in the chemical laboratory of
Harvard, It is considered Qne of
the very best, and has a capacity of
half a gallon of liquid air an hour.
It was very recently decided at
Chicago that a magnificent library
building be erected on the campus
of the University of Chicago in
memory of the late President Har
per. It is intended by those who
are at the head of this project, that
the body of Dr. Harper shall find
its final resting place within the walls
of this library.
