AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION

OF THE |.
NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

At the 1941 convention it will be moved that Article III of
the Constitution be revised as follows:

ARTICLE III

set up within institutions to carry out the provisions of this article. Therefore, brief
pr regalo g notes have been added following the various sections. The Executive Com-
mittee will be glad to receive and consider comments on these notes, and any other
suggestions which members of the Association may desire to make.
