Williams College aims to curb intercollegiate contests
Faculty committee on athletics at Williams College approves a policy to reduce intercollegiate contests following the Intercollegiate Athletic Association's December 1906 resolution. Trustees back the move, arguing that intramural activities should be promoted to broaden student benefits and restore focus to education and broad participation. The plan seeks to limit growth by trimming top level competitions and emphasizing widespread access.
