AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL OPENED LAST TUESDAY 164 Registered—New Ag School
on Long Island Cuts Into Enrollment
One week has passed since the beginning of the School of Agri- culture's seventh year, and in that ti ne the work has gotten well underway. One fact that stands out conspicuously from this week's survey is that the facili- ties of the school are not so ex- tremely over crowded as last year.
This has been obviated by the somewhat decreased attendance from last year, when the enroll- ment went far beyond all pre- vious records. The reason for this falling off is credited to the opening of the new Agricultural School at Farmingdale, L. I., which attracts the students from that section of the state.
While the institution is not thus so crowded as last year, it cannot be said that the facilities are adequate. For the past four years it has been evident that some action must be taken to alleviate the congestion, and last year it became acute. This year with an enrollment above the average of the past four years, it is still obvious that something must be done toward increasing the school equipment and facili- ties. The enrollment according to classes follows:
Seniors 28 Juniors 48 Freshmen 74 Specials 14 Total 164
This is seven below that of the college, the total for the entire university being 335, with addi- tions from special work not re- corded.
A change in the hour schedule has been made to conform with the college and high school ses- sions. Classes will close at noon as in college, but will begin at 1:15 in the afternoon instead of I 1=30 as prevails with the college.
FIRST OF ASSEMBLY LITER- ATURE ADDRESSES Director Binns on Milton's "Para-
dise Lost"
The first of the series of As- sembly addresses to be given on the world's great pieces of liter- ature was presented by Director Binns in his very fine paper on Milton's "Paradise Lost," last Wednesday. After a brief sketch of Milton's life, he outlined the plot, reading several of the most important passages, and gave a critical survey of the work.
If the rest of the addresses are up in insight and interest to this, the school has much in store for itself this year.
The underclasses were very present before the hour began with their yells over banquet vic- tories.

Fine Mass Meeting, Tuesday, Oc- tober 3— Coach Sweetland
Speaks
SENIORS SEE "FAUST" PLAY- ED BY KIRK BROWN The second ensemble of the class of 1917 occurred on Thurs- day evening, October 5. Thirty- three members attended the play- ing of Kirk Brown's version of Goethe's "Faust" at the Shat- tuck theatre in Hornell. The class remembered the presentation of
"The Matchmaker" by this same company in the fall of 1913, which proved humorously enter- taining and commended a second hearing of the company.
The first all-University cheer- meet of the season was held in Agricultural Hall a week ago to- night. It was a regular, old-time affair and the tunes of "My Girl So Tried and True" and "Ein, zwei, drei,-vier; H u r r a h . . . " gave it the same spirit of commotion, which gets everyone into shape for the real meet, and which pre- vailed a year ago.
Pres. Bliss '17, of the Athletic Council, presided and soon turned events over to Ayars, cheer leader.
The old trick of trying the ancient
"Ray, Ray, Ray, Alfred-red-red, Alfred'' yell was tried and'wonder of wonders, proved a success.
Coach Sweetland made his in- itial appearance on the public platform and while keeping the students in good humor drilled the following into their heads,
"Rochester made big plans to beat us—well they didn't! Now, this was a good thing for Roches- ter but bad for us. It will make Rochester work her head off but all it will do to us if we are go- ing to go on as we have, started, is to get us six or seven good lick- ings this fall. The men have got to get out. Why, if you men had as much spirit as the girls, we could go down and beat Yale! It

Teams Meet Here, Thursday—Old Scores to Reverse
The Varsity will match strength and skill with Theil College of Greenville, Pa., for the first time in two years, next Thursday, Oct.
12, at 3:30.
Theil is a men's college of about 150 students, which has always been a fine spirited school to play against. Although Theil gave Al- fred two severe defeats two years ago, a 19-0 affair here and a 65-0 massacre at Greenville on Thanks- giving day, she earned both fairly and squarely. It is with interest that the Alfred students await this new trial of abilities. The squad have been working their hardest to fit themselves for the contest and are ready to fight a good fight.
Remember 3:30 and every stu- dent on the field, rain or shine.
FOOTBALL THIS AFTERNOON Hornell vs. Scrubs Cancelled—
Bolivar to Play Instead The closing of the Hornell High School due to the development of a case of infantile paralysis among its students, caused the cancellation of the game with the Scrubs to have been played this afternoon.
The management attempted to secure a game with Wellsville High and failing tried the strong Bolivar High team which will play here this afternoon.
CORRECTION
The Fiat gladly corrects the statement made last week to the effect that Charles Chipman ex- '14, was "somewhere in France,"
and begs the pardon of all persons injured thereby. Mr. Chipman is at present in New York City and has no idea of leaving for the war zone.
1918 KANAKADEA PICTURE CALL - "WHITE" TO
AGAIN OFFICIATE
Snapshots Wanted
One of these days, the picture man will be here, all the way from New York, to take pictures. He will photograph everything and everybody in all manners of com- bination, and when he is through, the pictures will be collected and published in the 1918 Kanakadea.
Watch for the picture man. His reputation is "White."
But he can't get all the pictures for the book. His are the set pic- tures, the posed photographs. The rest of the record must be kept by the kodakers. The Kanaka- dea is not merely a class record;
it is the record of the whole col- lege. And it needs the films of the whole college to accomplish that end. All that Alice Baker and Hildebrand are living for, is to accept camera films. There is a Kanakadea offered for the finest collection presented.
Remember the Kanakadea.
EATON ADVERTISING MAN- AGER—SHERWOOD FOOT-
BALL MANAGER
The October meeting of the Athletic Council which regularly takes place on Wednesday, was held Monday, October 2d, instead, due to the necessity of ob- taining Agricultural School tickets..
A new basis of assessment was made, the first term tickets costing $2.00 in- stead of $1.75 as last year. Inas- much as this term covers the football season when the outlay on athletics is heaviest, and when there is greatest interest, it was thought to be a more equitable assessment. .
Two manageral positions were fill- ed. Harold Eaton, N. Y. S. A. '17, was elected to the office of Advertis- ing Manager. This is a newly creat- ed position, the work consisting of ad- vertising the games and issuing press notes. Eaton is a member of the Council and is a true athletic fan, having been a candidate for the Vars- ity until he sustained a strain to his right arm, broken last spring.
For Football Manager, Robert Sher- wood '19, was elected. "Bob" is strong for athletics and should prove capable of handling the multitudious duties connected with the office.
Routine business occupied the re- mainder of the time.

COUNTRY LIFE CLUB RECEPTION
N. Y. S. A. Students Welcomed The returning N. Y. S. A. stu- dents were welcomed back again last Wednesday evening at the Country Life Club reception at Agricultural Hall. . Immediately upon entering the building the guests were escorted by upper- classmen to the receiving line, consisting of Mr. Corwin, presi- dent of Country Life, Director and Mrs. Wright, President and Mrs. Davis and members of the faculty.
When all the guests of the even- ng had arrived, they adjourned to the chapel room. Here brief talks were given by President Davis and Director Wright, who extended ' executive welcome to the body and gave a brief survey of the outlook for the coming year.
Mr. Corwin then expressed the welcome of the Country Life Club, and gave an.invitation for all to become active workers in the or- ganization. The singing of sev- eral school songs, closed the affair.
HIKERS CLUB
A meeting of the Hikers Club will be held tonight, Oct. 10, at 8 o'clock, in the Y. M. C. A, room.
This is to be an important meet- ing to which all old members and prospective members are invit- ed. The excellent weather of late has sent the hiking fever through our veins and in all probability a hike-will be arrang- ed to take place before the snow falls. Several short hikes will be taken this Fall to allow the probationary members to work off their entrance conditions and to prepare them for the annual Spring hike.

LUCY MARSH CONCERT, SAT- URDAY EVENING
Music Department Starts New Era A new era in the rank of Al- fred's concerts will be inaugurat- ed next Saturday evening when the music department brings Miss Lucy Marsh, the celebrated Lyric Soprano, to Piremens Hall.
This will be the finest musical treat in the way of a great artist that the '' College in the hills'' has had in years. It marks the be- ginning of a new plan of Prof.
Wingate's to provide the school with a series of recitals by noted soloists. It is the school's and town's duty to support the con- cert to their upmost, for if the de- partment keeps up the high stand- ard set in its first attempt it must fill the house each time. The manner in which you stand be- hind Prof. Wingate will show him whom he can afford to secure to give the second concert in the series. At present he is in negoti- ation with Martin, the famous bass, and his aspirations run on and on in the upper ring of musi- cal talent.
Miss Marsh has been before the public for only a few years, yet jher record of accomplishment is one of uninterrupted successes.
Immediately upon her return from Paris, first rank engage- ments came to her, and so admir- able was her disposition of each singing task that she found others of similiar importance awaiting her services.
It is something to please occas- ionally and quite another to afford constant appreciation to every assemblage, regardless of its tastes. Miss Marsh has a voice of genuine charm, smooth, sympa- thetic, amply large and flexible. It is freely given and effective in all varieties of compositions.
Prof. Wingate is indeed fortu- nate in being able to secure Miss Marsh for Alfred's entertainment.

SIGMA ALPHA GAMMA INI- TIATES NEW MEMBERS Dr. Paul E. Tits worth Speaks on
"Duties of the Individual"
Nearly seventy of the college women were present Saturday evening, when the new members of the Sigma Alpha Gamma were given a formal initiation into the organization. Hazel Parker, '17, president of the association, welcomed the twenty freshman women as they were led, blind- folded up the two stairways and into the center of the rotunda.
After the reading of the consti- tution and the rules and regu- lations, the new members of the society took their places among the old.
Dr. P. E. Titsworth then ad- dressed the association as fol- lows: There are three problems which every member of society, and especially of a college, has to face. First, His relation to the college work—the solving of the problem of scientific manage- ment, the gaining of self, dis- cipline and of resourcefulness.
"The biggest criticism against college trained men and women,"
said Dr. Titsworth, " i s their inability to hold themselves to long concentrated tasks." The first aspiration, then is the at- taining of " stick-to-itiveness."
In the second place, every individual has his or her relation to the College Community.
There is the financial burden, the social activities, the courtesy toward others and the assump- tion of social responsibility, which is indispensable to a successful society.
There is in the third place, the relation we bear to ourselves.
There is the development of a personality which raises the individual above the gray back- ground of common life. And there is also a development of the religious life, a duty which we all owe to society.
Education is something achieved, not donated; here lies the secret of successful scholar ship in the part that each student plays in co-operation with the teacher toward the gaining of knowledge. There is the specific problem of student government now on trial. There are all kinds of attitudes toward this,
the unawareness of any need for government, the unwillingness to accept responsibility, and the belief that government rests with the faculty. Student self- government is a corollary of democracy, it is learning by doing, it is an educational move- ment.
The educated man or woman is expected to take up the social duties of the community into which he or she goes upon leav- ing college. We are not all Robinson Crusoes, living alone, but are all dependent on others for help and should learn to handle ourselves and others. In closing Dr. Titsworth added,
" I should like to fire you to an ambition to have an influence in community affairs and to wield it well."
Following the address, an informal hour of charades and dancing was enjoyed. A light lunch of coffee and doughnuts was served, after which the session closed.
Thefollowing became members of the Sigma Alpha Gamma:
Esther Benson Angie S. Boyce Lois Cugler Margaret Everson Hazel Jackson Marion Fitzgerald Sara Jones
Helen Kies
Catherine Langworthy Myrtle McPhilmey Blanche Minogue Ruth Pieget Hallis Law Beatrice Streeter Lina Perkins Laura Davis Verina Ruegg Hazel Croxford Martha Foster Elizabeth Latimer
Another session will occur at some date in the near future for the initiation of the eight Fresh- man women who were absent at this first meeting.
ASSEMBLY TOMORROW At the regular assembly hour to- morrow, President Edward Saun- ders '17, of the Student Senate, and President Hazel Parker '17, of the Sigma Alpha Gamma, will address the students on the prob- lems of these two organizations.

GLEE CLUB CANDIDATES MEET TONIGHT Extensive Season Planned The first call for Male Glee Club candidates is sounded for this evening at 7:30 at Memorial Hall. Bring your voices, but the meeting will be more for the sake of organization than warbl- ization.
This will mark the beginning of the second season of Glee Club activity and the successes of the first should prove a great incentive for the work on the second.
The Club will be open to all branches of the University and will give every one a fair trial although only sixteen members will be chosen, the same as was done last year. Director Win- gate is very much alive in this line of work and will push it to its greatest extent. Edward Saunders, '17, will again manage the Club and predicts that in addition to the extensive trip planned for Easter Vacation, which will be similar to the 1300 mile trip executed last year, several two and three night ex- cursions will be made into the surrounding vicinity.
The Club has lost two members of its quartet, Griffiths, second bass, and Davis, baritone, and will also be handicapped by the graduation of its reader, Robert Green. The attractions of the trips and the pleasures of help- ing to produce good harmony will fill the ranks, however, to overflowing, it is sure.
For the benefit of the new students it is historically added that during Easter Vacation, last, the Club made a two weeks trip, giving eight concerts; of which the following will show the range of the trip: DeRuyter, Berlin, Cornwall-on-Hudson, Yonkers, Shiloh, N. J., Plainfield, N. J. The men had a wonderful time visiting Albany, West Point, passing through New York three times and Philadelphia twice.
This year's trip, while it will probably be east, will be over new ground and. will, it is hoped, carry the C,lub into Rhode Island.

MORE! MORE!
The step that the Music De- partment has taken in bringing the Artist, Lucy Marsh, to Alfred is a most commendable one for the advance of the University.
In no way can the culture, breadth and appreciation of the college community be raised as it can by listening to the successful people of the age. In no way will the standard of the school be- come known and advertised for progressive, as it will through bringing the best for the students to hear.' Alfred's isolation from musical, literary and dramatic centers has been much felt by her students and any way that will remedy this is to be encouraged to the upmost.
A SUGGESTION
The most excellent nature of Director Binns' address on Mil- ton's "Paradise Lost" last Wed- nesday, has given rise to the fol- lowing suggestion:
If the subsequent parts of the series of essays on the world's famous pieces of literature are in
'he same class of excellence as this, and there is no reason to liink otherwise, the series as a whole, will be invaluable to the person who wishes a broader view of literature. The length of the papers is prohibitory to publica- tion in these columns but the put- ing of them away in a dark pigeon hole seems a loss to the world, especially to Alfred.
Would it not be possible to collect and publish them in pamphlet form and issue them as a Univer- sity Publication? It is certain that Alfred alumni would appreci- ate them, especially.
THE FIAT OUTLOOK INFORM- ATORY BATHER THAN
MENDICANTORY
The outlook as to the financial success of the Fiat is daily grow- ing more encouraging. As yet the out-of-town mailing list is quite uncertain, but it should prove larger than ever before.
The management has been send- ing personal letters to the more recent graduates among the alumni. It is hoped a good many will be reached and subscribe who previously were not in touch with the paper. This week three hun- dred double post cards are being sent out to those who were sub- scribers last year but have not re- newed as yet, and to those who should be interested and would doubtless subscribe if they un- derstood the condition the paper now faces.
The outlook and proposed man- ner of raising the required amount of money to publish the paper for the year, was laid before the Agricultural School at their Thursday morning chapel. A j/reat deal of interest was evidenc- ed and we hope to enjoy a support larger than ever given before.
About eighty subscriptions are ex- pected from that body, exclusive of the faculty. Seventy-four slips have been signed stating their desire to subscribe to the Fiat and their intention to pay before November 1st. A few more were promised as soon as they had the opportunity to see their room mates.
Of course these subscriptions will be paid by November 1st, or
the paper will not be sent. About
$20 was received at the time the slips were signed. This is very encouraging, because pre'viousl/y not $100 has been realized here, including the faculty. The Aggies are surely showing their desire to nore closely interlock the true University spirit.
A note at the University Bank for $175.00 is the issue of the mo- ment. Also the Sun Office is the patient possessor of bill for $105.- 89. This totals a deficit of $280.- 89 still remaining from last year.
The following budget will give an idea of the outlook:
Subscriptions
College ' . . . . $280 00 Agricultural School 135 00 Out-of-town 140 00 Advertising 300 00 Fiat Pair 125 00
$980 00 Expenditures
Publication $650 00 Incidentals such as bill
heads,, circular letters and cards, stamps, mailing of
papers, and etc 50 00 Old debt 280 89
$980 89
If this budget can be carried out, a great load will be lifted
"rom the minds of publisher, edi- tors and friends. It is highly probable that some of these items may fall short. If so, we hope to increase others or find a new source of receipts. The placing of the subscription on the college '-.uition bills aids greatly. Not so much in the actual money direct- ly obtained, but rather in reliev- ing the management from the past necessity of canvassing. This ean now be spent in obtaining ads and out of town subscriptions. In that way it aids materially and
•as a great stride for better fi- nancing.
We want you to feel that this is your paper and there are no inside facts which can not be made public and circulated. We feel if you understand the condi- tion of your paper thoroughly, you will be more amiable toward it and give it better support in ways other than financial.

THE RED BUS LINE
Y. M. C. A.
The topic last Sunday evening was "Great Men and their Re- ligion." There were three speak- ers. Mr. Maxson gave a very
^ood account of the religion of Burns. Burns believed in the uni- versality of God and the brother- hood of man. Although Burns did not lead a Christian life, he preached and inspired others to do the right.
Mr. Hildebrand talked of Wordsworth, the greatest Nature poet. Nearly all of his life, Wordsworth lived close to Na- ture. And we see the religion of Wordsworth in his poems.
Mr. Murdock talked of Chas. E.
Hughes. Very little can be said about the religion of Mr. Hughes.
But religion is what a man does and not what he thinks. And Mr. Hughes has always shown perseverence and an unflinching purpose. And from these we judge something of his religion.
Next Sunday evening Dean Main will talk on the subject,
"The Normal Place of Amuse- ment." This is a topic of inter- est to every college man.

Prof. Binns' Birthday Tea To the health of Professor Binns was the tea sipped on last Wednesday by the Ceramickers.
It was the Professor's birthday.
And the Professor shared up on his birthday cake too, where upon the enthusiasm of the clay model- ers rose above mere tea and lemon slices, and vented itself in a sys- tematic and appreciative order of whoops for the Professor. Rix- ford led the cheering.
Nearly through with their ros- ettes, the freshmen are facing now the problem of casting them in plaster. A step farther along, the sophomores have turned small vase forms in plaster. The next few months will find them mak- ing molds and case-molds and actually producing in clay, by casting some five or six dozen forms. The forms are to be used later for testing glazes.
When the freshmen and juniors complete their smocks, the Cer- amic School will be a blaze of col- or.
Professor Binns has just com- pleted work resulting in a beauti- ful black glaze to be used on a stoneware body.

Bound by your narration of the events Which marked the successful week of
banquets!
The Sophomores, praise to that name, For they have more evidence to base
their claim
Of predominancy upon, although the senators state,
That both clases win. So let us rate Their judgment final, and grant to
each a victory,
And let the spoils be divided equally For each class did its best, And each class deserves success.
We need not consider it amiss, Especially at times like this,
To boast of how the deeds were done, Or the way in which our victory was
won.
Facts are necessary to make things plain,
These facts, to some, may rub against the grain.
But this we cannot help, us no one can blame,
For our opponents are free* to do the same.
In accordance with the rules as com- piled and stated,
The document with time and place was formulated,
And signed and sealed according to the law,
Carefully worded to avoid a flaw, And filed with the Senate's President
on Saturday night,
At the side of his automobile, almost beneath its lights.
And the person entrusted with the precious document
Was given an invitation to be present at the banquet.
Happy to state, on Monday morning, he was there,
And with the other thirty-eight, climb- thosei stairs
To the spacious room where the ban- queters fed,
Right within earshot, directly over the heads
Of fifteen or twenty freshmen, recit- ing "der, die und das,"
In the room below, Prof. Titsworth's German Class.
Ah, those allwise Neulinge, how wide awake they were
When they heard that olive bottle roll across the floor.
In spite of the noise, in spite of the olive's fall
The Sophomores gavei their yell over the heads of all.
Little did they realize that their griefs had just begun,
Or how futile were their attempts when they started on a run, When the Sophomores, noted for their
strategy, , Boarded the noon bus; such panurgy
FRESHMAN WAR-OFFICE RE-
| PORT
I 1920 (Wireless via Penville) I The evening of the first day of
banquet week marked the first of a long series of victories to be I won by 1920, the "Million dollar
class.' '<
First of all 1920 wishes to thank 1919 for the glorious time which the promoters of the "New Spirit" showed her in Hornell and vicinity.
When the little entertainment of the afternoon had been com- pleted and the Freshmen had seen their wise and noble friends, the enemy, safely snared in the toils of vaudeville and shadow pictures, (The Sophs are not to be blamed as they really could not help it) they straightway journeyed home- ward, apparently to bed, but ac- tually to a season of banqueting, in the old Chapel, that will never be forgotten.
After the Frosh had done jus- tice to the many good things spread before them, they made the campus ring with the victory cry. Why shouldn't they? They had had their banquet and were
lot ashamed of it.
The merry makers were then favored with a speech by Prof.
Wingate and after great pleading Prof. Jimmy awoke from his slumbers and faced the marau- ders with his six-shooter, which being unloaded, was not very effective. He did however, spring some of his snappy stories that brought forth once more the cheer,
"We're the class of Pep and Go, 1—9—2—0." When these speeches had been, received with hearty applause, the dejected Sophs came wending their homeward way, and there was weeping and gnash- ing of teeth.
The Freshmen did not expect, and
( their antics
Betrayed their great confusion. They were panic
Stricken when they landed in The city of a hundred sins.
The Sanford House: became a Conven- tion Hall,
Seniors, Sophomores, Freshmen and all
The others were there; it was sug- gested
That the University be divested Of its Alfred scenery, and become
An Hornell institution.
But loyal students rejected such thought
And gave a yell for Alfred, which wrought
Havoc among those' of a contrary dis- position,
Who gave rise to such a disloyal proposition.
In the meantime the Frosh made sev- eral bold attempts
To lay their hands upon the Soph's elusive President.
Once they had him cornered in the Telephone Exchange
While ten expectant Frosh, in immedi- ate range,
Patiently awaited at the door.
But he left by the rear entrance, and came out
In the Blue Bird Tea Kitchen, where about
Twenty pretty waitresses endeavored to ensnare
Him. It was doubtful at' first if he would get out of there.
But strange to say, hei got away.
An hour later the Freshmen began to disperse,
Thinking they had broken up the four course
Affair the Sophomores had planned.
Instead the Sophomores made prepara- tions to follow them.
That they were going to have their banquet was a fact
Well-known, for a slighted Freshman had put them on the track.
In a moment of mad passion, he had betrayed his class,
And one of the Sophomores took it as a ruse, and let it pass,
Depending upon the guard they had left at Biirdick Hall,
Who had been instructed to watch and give the hurry call.
But the guard slept; the generals waited in vain;
Otherwise results might have been changed.
But still the Sophomore Banquet Remained to all a secret.
And on Tuesday they put their little ruse
Into still further use.
They led their opponents on a merry chase
Across the hills, from place to place.
In fact some of the more diligent Were not content
To return
Until they had burned
The macadam from Wellsville to Al- mond,
Arriving home at three A. M.
A fake message phoned from some distant house
Had been sufficient to arouse Each, all and several of an all-wise
class.
But Sophomores, let all that pass.
It was a clever ruse, But the deuce!
Its over now until another year;
A victory for both, and for both let's cheer.
Work for Alfred all the time, A. U. 1—9.

CLARENCE F. READ APPOINT- ED INSTRUCTOR IN PIANO A Valuable Addition to the Music
Department
Clarence P. Read, the newly ap- pointed instructor in pianoforte, is not a stranger to Western New York, but the following informa- tion as to his work and qualifica- tions for this position will be of interest to all students of Alfred, especially to those of the music department. Mr. Read began the study of piano music at the age of five, with an exponent of the Fletcher method. After several years' study of this method, he then studied with James D. D.
Comey, a well known teacher of Fall River, Mass., Mr. Read's home city, and likewise of Boston.
Following this period of training Mr. Read did four years' work in the New England Conservatory in piano with George Chadwick and Wallace Goodrich, also in voice with Robert Lister.
During this time Mr. Read gave lessons in piano and served as or- ganist in leading churches in Fall River, Concord and Boston.
In 1914, Mr. Read was called to Wellsville to play the organ at the dedication of the new Christian Temple. His skill as a musician, shown on this occasion, led to his permanent location in Wellsville where he has a large class of piano pupils. Mr. Read is the com- poser of a number of piano selec- tions, a response for choir, and a meditation for pipe organ.
Mr. Read comes to Alfred with six years' experience as a piano teacher and excellent recommen- dations. He will be at the Music Studio on Monday and Thursday of each week to meet and instruct pupils in piano. Director Win- gate of the Music Department will make registrations for this work.
The following are a few of the press notices of Mr. Read's work:
"Lovers of fine music express- ed considerable appreciation of the piano recital given last even- ing by Clarence F. Read of Fall River. His technique was indeed remarkable, and the elasticity and expressiveness of his touch was very marked; and the interwoven melodies were clearly discernable.
The closing number was a fitting climax to a well contrasted pro-
gram."—Fall River Herald.
"Clarence F. Read played in a recital at Jordan Hall yesterday afternoon. At the keyboard Mr Read acquitted himself in such a manner as to win commendation from a large audience of music students and their friends."- Boston Transcript.

Students Rally to Cause—Three Teams Out
The effect of the meeting and other similar agitation was very satisfying.' In place of only the fourteen or fifteen faithful war- riors appearing, fully thirty-five men have clad themselves in armor and joined the Sweetland company. The scrimmage work has been fierce, but tempering and the preparedness of the team for the Theil game next Thursday has been increased five fold.
There are still several suits in the lockers and the field is large enough for at least five more men. Second team coaches, Baton '17, N. Y. S. A. and Cot- trell '19, will welcome any one from 97 pounds up and promise to give them a good time.
MRS. C. R. CLAWSON PASSED AWAY WEDNESDAY, OCT. 4

The President's House Hobart College Geneva, New York My dear President Davis,
And so Alfred beat Rochester!

Avon Inn Avon, N. Y.
President B. C. Davis, Alfred University Dear Sir:—
Our Inn takes the liberty at this time of writing you the great pleasure we had in being able to entertain your boys on their way to Rochester where they were so successful in their bat- tle against the University of Roches- ter squad. We congratulate you up- on having such a fine lot of manly fellows under your care and we cer- tainly enjoyed their visit a t our Inn and trust we will again have the. pleas- ure, some time in the future, of enter- taining them again.
Wishing you all kinds of good luck in the future, we remain.
Yours most respectfully, AVON,, INN.
ROCHESTER PAPER VERY FAIR
" I t was very much of a sur- prise to the Rochester conti ngent all the way from ' Mat' and 'OUie' down to the most in- significant Freshman. In the first place, the game was scheduled in the light of certain definite assurances that Alfred was very weak this year. Cap- tain lost, men with experience scarce and no time to practice, were some of the ailments cited.
"Rochester's team was in no condition to play a hard game so early in the season, but Alfred was scheduled as a puny team fit only to give the Varsity some real practice. They did that all right. Surprise was no name for what happened when the game began. Composed of veterans and experienced lpayers and a sprinkling of for- mer college stars, the Alfred team soon scored a touchdown
on a series of rush plays and perfectly executed forward passes. They were a well oiled machine,^working with the regu- larity of a trip hammer and giv- ing1 evidence of long preparation.
No matter what may be said or thought of the manner in which the Alfred management schedul- ed the game, can in nowise de- tract from the credit due the Alfred team for the game they played."
This extract from the Roches- ter Campus is very fair in all but one particular and that is in accusing Alfred of deception in scheduling the game. Manager Whitford tried since before school closed in June to secure the game and to quote him, " I did tell them we were weak, for we are; but I did not sign any contract not to beat them if we could."
THE SIGMA THETA ALPHA GAMMA
Saturday evening a small but earnest bunch of upper class men met on the summit of Pine Hill. There under the pale moon and the twinkling stars a hunger satisfying feed of steak was en- joyed. When the inner man was satisfied the aesthetic soul of the crowd was carefully consulted and the result of this consultation was the Sigma Theta Alpha Gamma.
The Sigma Thetas decline to state at present what they are and what they intend to do, but all 'are satisfied that the Sigma Thet.a Alpha Gamma is here to stay and that a full report of its intentions and aims will be made at a later date.
As far as can be ascertained the Sigma Thetas are somewhat select. There are certain re- quirements that to some would be a dire privation—while to others a convenience. Because of these requirements the society now numbers but eight and a canvass of the college shows that only three more are eligible.
