It was certainly most unkind for tho ex ecutive office to decido upon the week hoforo-ThnnlcHgivluK as tho crucial 'point In determining whether a stu dent's work Is, of a quality to justify his retention In the University, but the rcgibtrar and his assistants will doubtless make due allowance for all delinquencies and give each student Columbia "Kills Football." "Columbia University has abolished tho game of football," says a press dis patch from New York city Hereafter no student of that institution will be allowed to participate in- the game as It is now played. This action was takon at a meeting of tho University's committee on stu dent organizations hold Novomocr 28, whon tho following resolutions wore adopted : "Resolved, On and after December 31st, 1905, the football association of Columbia University shall be disband ed, before which date all Its accounts shall be settled to the satisfaction of the comptrollerbf student organiza tion. "Resolved,- That In the opinion of this committee the game of football shall bo abolished and the committee respectfully recommends to tho uni versity council that the gamo bo pro hibited at Columbia University." The action of this committee Is final, as the students are not permitted to play without the consent of the com mittee. In explaining the committee's action, Professor Lord said: "Only by such radical steps can the university und college life be rid of an obsession, which it Is believed has become as burdensome to the great mass of students as It has proved It self harmful to academic standing and dangerous to human life." While the Columbia faculty was obollshlng the game from that Insti tution, the faculty of New York Univer sity was "drawing up resolutions in viting representatives from every school with which It has played foot ball since the organization of its team In 188F) .to hold a Joint conference on ileceniber 8 for the purpose of either altering or abolishing' tho sport.

Uut no sano student will confine himself to his books, und some now form of amusement and recreation muHt be provided. Gymnasium work is good, but it is dry and does not have the llavor of out-of-doors. Thea ters furnish plenty of amusement, but Uttlo beneficial exercise. Some at tractive, bracing out-of-doors sport must be found. Skating fills every re quirement. An effort was mado last yqar to have the Athletic Board turn tho field Into a skating rink, but no action was takon on accountof tho sharp slope to the north, which, would necessitate the construction of a veri table lake. In view of tho advantages to bo derived from this rink, If con structed, howover, wq deem It permis sible to suggest It once more. In tho llrst forty yards of tho gridiron there .'Is very Uttlo fall, and a two-foot bank at tho north, end of this stretch would .bo sufficient to "hold tho requisite amount of water.

A good many of the '07 hats are al ready in evidence about the campus.

From Harvard, a day later, comes tho news that Its board of ovorscei'ti la Htjontly opposod to tho gamp us It Is being played, at present and that W less the rules of play are radically revised It, too, will follow the action ol CoHimbla In nbolisH'ng the game. Among western universities, North western seems to bo the first lo seri ously consider disbanding that branch of athletics. Sunday's "Record-Her ald" says that unless a decided refor mation In tho game Is brought about the Evanston school will follow in Co lumbia's footsteps and abolish tho gamo entirely, Tho majority of tho members of Iho board of trustees arc In favor of tho abolition of the game on account of Its roughness and bqcauso they consider It out of keeping with university spirit. They think that as a sport It could bo well supphrtited by something moro djgnlfled. Following this move against tho gamo by Northwestern, tho colleges of Iowa, in their athletic conference hold nt Des Moines, last -Saturday, Edwin Curtis, a former student at Nelirnskn and tho recent county su-perlntondent-elect of -Kearney county, was on tho campus visiting Unlvorslty friends during the Thanksgiving recess.
