courteous even to the unfair and patient with the unjust; energetic, quick-minded, observant and accurate, the man whom we saw in the midst of this season, under trying circumstances, quietly, with a gentleman's poise and perfect self-control put to shame a vulgar and boisterous enemy of Virginia. We shall not soon forget Rice Warren! W. A. LAMBETH. FACULTY RESOLUTION. At a meeting of the General Faculty on December 3, it was unanimously resolved to add to the "Regulations of the General Faculty Concerning Athletics" the following rule: "The football team is permitted to play games only on the home grounds of one of the contestants, with the exception of the Thanksgiving Day game with the University of North Carolina in Richmond, which may continue until such time as can be agreed upon by the authorities of the Universities of North Carolina and Virginia." The reasons for this action are generally understood and appreciated. It is in accordance with the best athletic precedent of the North and West, and it is believed that it will become common in the South. The measure seems to promote the best interests of football as a true intercollegiate sport, and tends to prevent many public misconceptions. Intercollegiate sport does not exist for the purpose of determining fictitious championships, nor for advertising universities or municipalities, but for its educational value in training young men for the duties of life. It is generally understood that the success of the Virginia football team has brought about an inordinate demand from friends and alumni to play many teams at many places, from Dallas, Tex., to Philadelphia, Pa., to say nothing of Roanoke, Lynchburg, Richmond and Norfolk. FOOTBALL MEN RECEIVE "v's." "V's" have been awarded to sixteen members of the football squad, as follows: E. N. Mayer, of Norfolk, Va., captain and left halfback; Robert Kent Gooch, of Charlottesville, quarterback; H. A. Sparr, of Memphis, Tenn., fullback; William E.

The Third Annual Conference of the Association of Alumni Secretaries, held on November 19 and 20 at Columbia University, and on November 21 at Yale, was distinguished by a large attendance and comprehensiveness of program. Sixty-seven colleges and universities were represented by alumni officers, and the secretary reported a total membership of more than one hundred, including all the larger educational institutions of the United States. The University of Virginia was represented by its alumni recorder, who read a paper on "Reunions, Local and Central." The purpose of the association is to bring together, for conference and mutually helpful discussion, the men who are in active charge of the work of college and university alumni associations. The association gives opportunity for an exchange of ideas and serves as a clearing house of information for those engaged in alumni work. On the first day of the conference the members of the association were guests of Columbia University at an attractive luncheon given at Claremont, at which the delegates were welcomed by Dean Frederick P. Keppel, of Columbia College. On Friday night a dinner, followed by a smoker, was given at the Columbia University Club. On Saturday morning the conference adjourned to New Haven, where a visit was made to the offices of the Alumni Weekly and of the alumni secretary. A luncheon was given in the president's reception room by Yale University, to which the delegates were welcomed by Mr. Anson Phelps Stokes, secretary of Yale University. Immediately afterwards. everybody marched to the Yale Bowl to see the Yale-Harvard football game. An idea of the many phases of the alumni situation discussed at the conference may be obtained by noting briefly the most important matters covered in the three-days' sessions: What Alumni Associations Are Doing and Might Be Doing: From the institution's point of view.
