The organization was called the Southern Iliter-collegiate Athletic. Association, and elected Mr. W. L Dudley, President; Mr. It. R Mc- Millan, Vice President, and Dr. C. H. Ilerty, Secretary and Treasurer. An executive committee, was elected, consisting of the three above otti- eers. The constitution will be sub mitted to the different Southern col leges for their approval, and as soon as that is done, a schedule of games will be HxeJ upon for the coining fool ball and base ball season. There is no doubt that the result of ibis convention will mean much for the improvement of Athletics in Southern colleges. Death of Prof. Thomas.
