Expansion of intercollegiate athletics, a department which has been for many
years in a more advanced stage than intramural competition, is for that very reason
not receiving as much attention. While curtailment, as noted at the outset, is limit-
ed to six-tenths of one per cent, the general indication is that competition with
other colleges will be maintained on about the same scale as in the esa, What in-
