A Conference on Inter-Collegiate Athletics was held at Brown on February
18, 1898. The participants, summoned by Professor Wilfred Munro of Brown
for the purpose of discussing intercollegiate contests and the objectionable
features thereof, represented seven eastern colleges, all of the present
Ivy League Colleges except Yale, where Walter Camp took exception to faculty
rule of athletics. The recommendations of the Conference Committee met
with opposition and were not adopted.
