It may be remembered that last year Mr. E. C. Pearce and Mr. W. L. Merriman presented a handsome silver shield to be competed for annually by boys representing the European and American Schools in Shanghai. Unfortunately a misunderstanding arose at the time over the eligibility of certain boys to represent their Schools, whereupon it was decided that definite rules should be drawn up and that the first Interscholastic Athletic Meeting should be held in May of this year.
As a result of deliberations on the part of representatives of the schools concerned, +he Shanghai Interscholastic Athletic Association has come into being, the constitution having been mainly drawn up by Mr. C.D. Giauque.
Under the chairmanship of Mr. E. CE. Pearce, and with a membership of the American School, the Cathedral School for Boys, the French Municipal School,- the Public School for Boys, the Thomas Hanbury School and the St. Francis Xavier's College, it is hoped that in time all branches of inter-school athletics may be controlled by this Association.
