Dickinsonian, February 3, 1916

A visiting evangelist leaves Dickinson after a week’s stay.  The track schedule is completed for this year’s season, as is next year’s football season schedule.  A proposed amendment to the student assembly’s constitution that would have only allowed men to serve was shot down, much to the pleasure of the women on campus.  Six freshmen are convicted of breaking freshmen rules, but the issue of abolishing such rules is tabled.  Dickinson’s faculty redrafts the eligibility rules for student athletes.
