13. Each team of actual players shall at the end of a season elect

15. Captains with the approval of the athletic committee shall make 

 up their teams from the eligible lists. 



The object of all athletic organizations shall be understood to be 

 chiefly the following, arranged in the order of importance, the most 

 important first : 



(a) Physical culture, with the mental alertness and moral stability 

 which follows in its train; consequently the greater the number and 

 variety of athletic games and teams the better. 



(&) To meet the normal and healthy demand of young men for 

 manly sports, for recreation and relaxation, and to relieve the tedium 

 of much study. 



(c) To foster to a reasonable extent local pride and emulation, to 

 create an esprit de corps, and to promote harmony and good-fellowship 

 between students and faculty and between different departments. 



(d) To advertise a college or university by arousing an interest 

 among preparatory students and others who otherwise might never be 

 attracted to the advantage and enjoyments of higher education. 



To secure these objects every student should be encouraged on en- 

 trance to immediately submit himself to a physical examination, and 

 with the advice of the physical director or the athletic committee not 

 only begin regular gymnastic practice, but join a branch of the asso- 

 ciation devoted to systematic practice in some athletic game. 



Every program of hours in a school of engineering as well as in a 

 college of letters should recognize the demands of rational athletics.
