20 ADMINISTRATION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION.

 

by conference members, would lead to ill-feeling and jealousy. Thiz plan
seems to be very successful, and no conference that has adopied the plan
has discarded it. .

Opposed to the idea of faculty control of athletics and the making ot
intercollegiate athletics a part of the educational work of ihe institution,
is the idea of some faculty members of having intercollegiate athletics
separate and apart from faculty control. They would do away with schol-
astic eligibility and many of our present rules.

In the institutions on the Pacific Coast the Associated Students, a stu-
dent organization, has a greater voice in the control of intercollegiate
athletics than in any other section of the country. The study in 1924 show-
ed they had greater control of athletics then than they do today.

The tables show that 190 out of the 200 institutions studied had some
form of committee control of intercollegiate athletics. Some of these com-
mittees were administrative and some advisory. Also that 10 institutions
or 5% had departmental control.

In the publicly controlled institutions 13 had their athletics controlled
by a faculty committee. That faculty and students formed the committee
in 4. Alumni were represented on the committees of 38 oui of the 59 insti-
tutions. Trustees were on the athletic committee of 6 of the group.

In the privately controlled institutions a faculty committee was found
in 32 institutions. Faculty and students controlled the athletics in 16 of
this list. The alumni were represented on commiitees of 40 of the 107 in
this group. Trustees were represented on the committee of 24 private in-
stitutions.

In the state teachers colleges group a faculty committee was in charge
in 16 of these institutions. A faculty and student committee in 14 of the
others. Alumni and trustees are noi listed in this group.

The iotal for the three groups show that athletics are controlled by a
faculty committee in 61 institutions or in 30% of all studied. The 1924
study shows that 16% of the 151 institutions had control by the faculty.
This study shows that 34 institutions or 17% had their athletics controll-
ed by faculty and students. The 1924 study shows that 13% had their
athletics controlled by faculty and students. In this study the alumni are
represented on the committees of 78 institutions or 39%. The 1924 sudy
showed that they were represented on 64% of all the institutions. In the ©
eight years since 1924 there has been a large drop in the representation of
alumni on athletic boards. However, this study shows that several insti-
tutions have an athletic committee made up solely of alumni. This study
shows that 30 institutions or 15% of the institutions had trustees on their
commitiee. The study of 1924 showed but 4% representation by the trus-
tees. This shows that the governing boards of our institutions are taking
a more active part in the administration of our college athletics.
