Students Who Bet Will Be Suspended

STUDENTS WHO BET WILL BE SUSPENDED

At the last meeting of the University Senate, Monday evening, it was decided to put a stop to the betting on football games and the outcome of all athletic sports connected with the University. It has been realized by the authorities that betting on the football games especially, has tended to bring the game into disrepute and the a continuance of the custom, which among students is probably not very marked at the present time, will mean the ultimate downfall of the sport as a purely college one. It was decided to ask the professors to suspend any person found betting on the games. One of the prominent member of the Senate said to the Argus last night: "No, we do not expect to eliminate the betting among the individual students entirely, that will have to be done by moral training but we do to eliminate the sending of a purse to the opposing college." 

The resolutions were as follows:

Whereas, There has been frequent reference in he public prints to the alleged betting of money at students' athletic contests, it is therefore

Resolved. That the friends and alumni of the University be requested to use their influence to discourage a practice that sets a bad example to students and tends to bring such contests into disrepute. 

Resolved, That the Senate recommends to the faculty of each department of the University that it suspend any student enrolled in such department who shall be known to have bet money on the outcome of any game.
