REGINALD DENNY © QUEEN'S SENATE STATEMENT 'REGARDING CERTAIN ATHLETES Endeavors to See That University Seti by en BRISTONE, MONAHAN AND VOSS ARE CUBE 2 The following statement has been) Eiven to The British Whig by Dr. W. i. McNeill, registrar of Queen's Unj- Yorsity: "Owing to the persistence of dis- agreeable rumours concerning the wligibllity of certain athletes of Queen's University, the Senate, in ite of its traditional reluctance to *: any notice of mere rumours, Is that it should issue a statement ' for the information and reassurance of graduates, friends aud the general : public, The regulations regarding admis on to the various Faculties of the Wire "are never relaxed in the east in favour of athletes. Indeed, those having in charge the admission of students seldom know, when an pplication is received, whether or not the candidate is sn athlete. "Neither the University authorities for any organization connected with ¢ University, either directly or indi- ly, has ever given any financial as- tance of any kind to students be- 'cause of athletic ability, not even to the extent of free training tables or Quarters. "Advancement from one year to an. 'other depends entirely on standing 'and never is any exception made on necount of athletic participation. The Same examination standards are re- quired of all students. Eligibility Reg Regulations. "The regulations regarding eligi- Ney, Jha0-far a8 the University concerned, An rigidly | and. applied.

He proceed- ed directly, however, to the degree of Bachelor of Cainmerce in the Facul- ty of Arts. This degree differs from the degree of Bachelor of Arts only in the final year. For reasons of temperament, appreciated by all who know him, Batstone abandoned com- mercial work after a brief experience. For a few weeks he hesitated between Law and Medfeine and after due con- sideration returned to his . original plan of entering the latter Faculty. Many men take an Arts degree before proceeding to Law or Medicine and for this purpose there is little choice between the B. A. and B. Com. courses, "Monahan is taking a year in Arts to qualify for admission to a course in Mechanical Engineering. He is kden and alert; his instructors, par- ticularly those in Mathematics snd Physics, report that he doing excel- lent work. : Voss Eligible. "Voss was declared eligible to play Intercollegiate Rugby by the Board of Reference of the C. 1. A. U. at meeting held In Montreal a few weeks ago. On account of his change from the Faculty of Arts to the Faculty of Applied Science with an fncom- [plete year in Arts (which, was not reqiffed for admis Science), he heartily agreed with the University authorities that he should withdraw from Iutercoliegiate con tests this session, as neither he nor the University wished his future ca- reer to be cloud with unpleasant notoriety. "The Senate intends to guard the honour of the University. On the one hand, it declines to humiliate its stu- dents by withdrawing them from ath- lotics because of vague rumours and unfounded criticism. On the other hand, so far as is humanly possible, it endeavours to see that the Univer sity is represented in Intercollegiate sport only by bona-fide students with no taint of professionalism."
