VARSITY LOSES HARD FOUGHT GAME

(1)

HOBART AGAIN VICTORIOUS

It was the same old story, but with a different ending—the same story in that Hobart rolled up her usual high score against the Varsity, the different ending when Alfred came back in the last half and showed that she has in her the ability to play real football. A large and loyal delega- tion from both the college and agricultural school followed the team and remained true to the team principally because of the work in the last half. The new combination of heavy line and light backfield was sent into the game as the best balance that could be obtained. This lino up worked well in the first quarter, holding Hobart to a field goal from the 32 yard line. Then came the fatal second quarter with the subsequent rolling up of 21 points against the Varsity. It was a demoralized team that tried in vain to stop the varied attacks of Hobart and little can be said coiu- mendable to the work of the Vars- ity in this period. Line plunges and forward passes vied with each other for long gains. The for- wards, which played so fatal a part in the Mansfield game, were again prominent in the scoring while down after down was madu through the heavy line, resulting' in a score of 24-0 at the end of the first half. It was a different team which,- took the field for the second half—different both in line up and in determination. The heavy backfield replaced the lighter one of the first half, and it was evident from the first that Alfred was going to make a fight for the game and soon the whole backfield was hitting the line for long gains. It was a wonderful dis- play of fight and bull-dog grit when the Varsity came back in the

last half in face of the adverse score of 24-0 and kept Hobart fighting her hardest to prevent Alfred's scoring. However, the defensive work of Hobart was too strong for the attack of the Vars- ity and, though they were out- played, it forced a see-saw game most of the time. The failure of Alfred's ends to get down under punts enabled Hobart to run them back and was fatal to the Varsity attack.

Hobart, contrary to expectation, greatly outweighed the Varsity, which fact contributed much to Ilobart's superiority. The work of Robbins and McDougall was especially conspicuous, while the work of Buck, Broad and Kruson were the features of the Varsity play in the last half.

First Quarter

Hobart won the toss and Alfred kicked to Hobart who fumbled and Alfred recovered. Alfred couldn't gain and Bliss punted.

Hobart failed to gain and King made 11 yards on a shift, but Bliss fumbled and Hobart recovered.

Again Alfred held for downs but failed to gain and Bliss purited.

Hobart made first down three times and on a forward, good for 15 yards, carried the ball to the 35 yard line where Robbins kicked an easy place kick. Hobart kicked to Pfaff who advanced 15 yards.

The quarter ended with the ball on Alfred's 20 yard line.

Score, Hobart 3, Alfred 0.

Second Quarter

Buck made first down, but a forward pass was intercepted by Jenkins, and a forward pass made 20 yards. The Varsity held for downs one foot from the line, Buck diving over the line for the

COACH FARR'S ASSISTANTS LEAVE

Dr. Ruck and "Smithy," who have been assisting Coach Farr during the past week, left on Friday for their homes. Their work with the Varsity has been very beneficial and the student body and management are greatly indebted to both for their con- tribution to the coaching. Al- fred has had this year the most thorough and efficient corps of coaches ever seen on the local field. They have proved in their work their interest in Alfred and loyalty to their old schoolmate, Dr. Farr.

THIEL TO PLAY HERE FRIDAY

Thiel College of Greenville, Pa., will play here Friday in the second college game of the season.

Thiel comes with a good reputation and will give (us a hard game. The team appreciated the loyal support which the student body accorded them at Hornell last week as it shows that the student body is behind them win or lose. It is hoped the same spirit will be in evidence Friday. The team is working hard this week to get in shape for the game.

NOTICE

Attention is called to the rule respecting smoking on the campus. This rule applies to members of the agricultural school as well as to the college. This warn- ing is given for the benefit of those who may not have understood its breadth of application and to state that future offences will be sum- marily dealt Avith.

NOTICE

There will be an important meeting of the Fiat Lux Board at eight o'clock "Wednesday evening in the Fiat Lux office (over Liln'ary).

TWO OF ALFRED'S ALUMNI HONORED IN THE RECENT

ELECTIONS

Through the kindness of W. D.

Wilcox of Philadelphia, Pa., there came to the College Office a clip- ping from a Philadelphia daily, telling of George P. Darrow's election to Congress from the Sixth District.

Mr. Darrow, a man now fifty- five years old, was graduated from Alfred University in 1880. For the past twenty-seven years he has been in the paint business in Germantown, Pa. He is a director of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Germantown and of the Chelton Trust Company. Since 1910, he has been a member of the Common Council from the Twenty- second Ward, and was the only reform Councilman to be ap- pointed a member of the Finance Committee.

Alfred University is proud to announce that one of her best known and most loyal alumni, Mr.

Leonard W. Gibbs, was elected as- semblyman from the eighth district of Erie County by over 1000 majority. The district was represented last year by a Progressive, a candidate as well on the Demo- cratic and Citizens' tickets. The large majority won by Mr. Gibbs indicates the esteem and confi- dence of the people whom lie is to represent.

Mr. Gibbs is a graduate of Al- fred University in the class of 1898. Following his college course, he studied law in a private office and in law school; and for a number of years he was con- nected with Senator Frank B.

Loomis, first as a student, later as a member of his law firm.

Mr. Gibbs has devoted himself only to private business until he was persuaded by the electors of the district to be the candidate of his party this year. He is well qualified to fill his office effici- ently and uprightly. His Alma Mater extends heartiest congratu- lations.

N. Y. S.

FRESHMEN HOLD BANQUET The Freshman class of the Ag School formally opened their year's social life on Wednesday evening, Nov. 4, at the Ag build ing. Perhaps it may appear a little out of place to have a class banquet so late in the year, but as the class was late in organizing, it was decided to postpone the affair until after the monthly tests. For the very reason that the banquet was held so late, it was the more enjoyed by the students, they being better acquaint- ed thus making the evening live- lier. And it was not lacking in excitement as some of the Juniors can testify. In fact if you will observe closely you will see a certain few Juniors who bear signs of having been out that eventful night and the}'' are not the usual signs which might result from the loss of sleep. But more about the Juniors anon.

When the members and guests began to arrive each one was met at the door by a sergeant <vho admitted only those of the "elect"

After removing their wraps each one passed by a table where two of the entertainment committee supplied them with a slip of paper bearing the name of some not- ed personage. These were placed on the back of the person, the object being to guess who he or she represented. This furnished amusement for a few minutes until all had arrived.

When all were gathered in the large room on the third floor, each one present received his fortune by being blindfolded and then sticking a pin in the first fortune he touched. These for- tunes were all read aloud much to the amusement of the spectators.

The next game was the old standby, "Jenkins up, Jenkins down." Miss Barkhouse cap- tained the winning team. This was followed by an observation game. Everybody formed in a line and passed a table containing some thirty objects. Each one of them wrote on a slip of pa-'

per the articles which they remem- bered. Prizes were given to the girl and boy having the largest number.

At this point the adventur- ous Juniors arrived with two of our noble brethren who had been greatly missed. A few of the strong arm squad issued forth and after a short but fierce bat- tle, relieved the unworthy ones of their sacred burden. But it was almost too late.

The Juniors had done their work well. Such a sight as met the eyes of the writer as he hur- ried down the stairs, called thither by the unusual noise. Stand- ing in the midst of a few plucky but very dirty and begrimed freshmen was our class president and his chum. And they too were a sight. The Juniors were evi- dently prepared to go on the war path, at least they had prepared our worthy brethren to do so.

With their faces decorated in true

"Injun" style and their hair rather unevenly cropped, they presented a gruesome appearance.

Perhaps the writer may be par- doned if he has rather vividly de- scribed the scene but it is only that the Juniors who read this may be prepared for similar scenes where- in the victims may change places if they have not already done so.

Although a scouting party was immediately sent out no trace of the marauders was found. There were, however, quite a number of non-combatants who received a large plate of salad and one of sandwiches after which they de- parted and we were allowed to go on undisturbed. After due toilet proceedings, the president and his friend were conducted to the top floor where the "feed"

was in progress. Too much credit cannot be given to chairman Post and his worthy committee who prepared and served the sup- per, consisting of sandwiches, salad and cocoa after which the dishes were removed and gener- ous portions of jello with whip- ped cream were served.

At this time the prizes for the

observation game were announced. Miss Jordan received the first prize for the girls and Mr.

Post for the boys. Toasts were then in order, Mr. McEwan being the first speaker. After a few very appropriate remarks he was followed by Vice President Kull, Miss Tuttle, Miss Barkhouse and Miss Cheesman. After a few

"Aggie, Aggie Rah, Rah" yells for some of those present, all re- turned to the assembly hall Avhere campus songs were sung until time to go. All present reported a fine time and much credit is due Miss Bertine for the planning and excitement of the evening's entertainment. We also wish to thank Miss Cheeseman for her per- sonal assistance and Miss Wood for the use of the Domestic Sci- ence Rooms.

COUNTRY LIFE CLUB Thursday evening, Nov. 5, the Country Life Club held its regular meeting in Ag Hall. As usual, the meeting was opened by singing "Keep in the Sunlight Ag- gies," after which the following program was rendered:

Reading Mr. Humphrey Gleanings Mr. Kull Music

Mrs. DuBois at the piano, Mrs. Wat- son and Mr. Remsen, violinists Reading Mr. Wolfe Recitation Miss Maxwell

Following this, a period of fif- teen minutes was devoted to par- liamentary practice which was conducted by Paul Green. Evident- ly some of the freshmen do not think that one of our stately and dignified seniors is able to pur- chase his own wearing apparel without faculty supervision. It was decided during this time that a few minutes be devoted to cheering, to be led by " J u d g e " Thiel.

The cheering which followed would have been a credit to the whole Ag student body.

At the short business meeting which followed, it was decided to have Bob Griffiths, '14, lead the old "Injun" yell, at the close of the meeting.

In her report as critic, Miss Wood commended those who ap- peared on the program. The work showed evidence of considerable preparation. She also remarked that the programs of this year

man. Bliss kicked from behind the goal line, but in three rushes Hobart carried the ball over. The goal was kicked.

On the kick-off Bliss advanced 20 yards, the Varsity could not gain and Hobart intercepted a pass on the 45 yard line. By a series of steady marches, Hobart went over the goal for the second touchdown. Hobart kicked to Perkins who fumbled, and on a forward to Jenkins the third and last touchdown was counted.

Hobart kicked off and the half was over.

Third Quarter

Buck and Pfaff went behind the line, Krusen and Broad tackles, Pitts and Maure ends. Hobart could not gain and punted. The Varsity gained steadily but was fined and forced to punt. Hobart could not gain and Robbins se- cured his second place kick of the game. Hobart kicked off and se- cured the ball on a fumble, but lost it when Bliss intercepted a pass. Varsity made two first downs but was then forced to kick. Pfaff intercepted a pass and on a fumble by Hobart, Craw- ford recovered. Buck made first down, Pfaff made first down and Bliss duplicated. Bliss punted and Hobart made two first downs.

Pfaff again intercepted a pass but could not gain and Bliss punted.

. Fourth Quarter

Two Hobart passes were intercepted and Hobart kicked. Vars- ity made first down and on the next play Jenkins was hurt. A forward on a split play made 15

NEW PRINCETON STADIUM The new Palmer Memorial Satdium, the gift of which to Princeton was announced last May, was used for the first time two weeks ago for the Dartmouth game.

The Stadium, which when com- pleted will cost about $1,000,000, is a gigantic structure of steel and concrete lying to the south-east of the campus.

It is in the shape of a huge horseshoe, 700 by 580 feet. It encloses the football field and a quarter mile running track.

Twenty-seven entrances give ac- cess to the seats which will ac- commodate 41,000. There are 48 rows of seats rising to a broad promenade 75 feet above the ground.

The field itself has cost $25,' 00.

It consists of five layers of clay, gravel, sand, etc., and will always be in perfect condition.

A field house for competing teams is being constructed close by.

The opening game was attended by a crowd of 14,000, of whom about 3,000 were from Dartmouth.

It is expected that the Stadium and its grounds will be quite com- pleted for the Yale game Nov.

HUMAN BODY IS WORTH $8 How much is the human body worth? The calculation is not difficult and the answer is about

$8.00.

The human body, a French sci- entist calculates, including skin, bones, flesh, nerves, blood, fat and cartilages, is reduced by an- alysis to iron, salt, sugar, lime, phosphorus, magnesia, albumen, fatty substances and residue which can be used.

If this body weighs 150 pounds, an average weight, there would be enough byproducts of the lody to make an ordinary iron nail, enough salt to fill a salt cellar, enough sugar to fill a small sugar bowl, enough lime to whitewash a chicken coop, enough phosphor- ous to make a dozen matches, enough magnesia for one dose.

The albumenoids obtained could be used by a tricky baker to re- place the white of 100 eggs and there would be enough fat to fill a 10-pound pot,

Eight dolars, then, is man's.

real worth and there are many undersized and ill-nourished men who would fall far short of the mark. The most beautiful wo- man is worth, then, only $8, too?

No, it cannot be.—New York Sun..

As a result of the two recent defeats of the Varsity, we are again confronted by the question,

"Can Alfred turn out a winning football team ?'' The work of the team in the last half should, answer this question in the affirma- tive, yet there are those who are now, as in years past, pulling against this conclusion. The question does not appear, therefore, to be "Can Alfred play football?"

but rather, "Can she play football throughout the game?"

There are three more games this season, all of which will be of high calibre. We have made a great advance over last year. We know what a winning team means in adding to the spirit and loyalty of the school as was shown by our anticipations before the Hobart game. A review of college ex- changes will show that in order to maintain any intercollegiate standing we must keep up in ath- letics. Everything is in favor of placing Alfred where she belongs in the college world. It can be done, but not by putting it off until next year. The question is

" Are we going to back down with only three more weeks of play?

Are we going to throw away the benefit of the progress we have made this year only to start next year in the same old rut? We have tried the latter system for years with fthe unfortunate results well known to everyone.

Why not try the other plan for the rest of the year—keep up your spirit and remain unalterably enthusiastic. At the best we had hoped only to build a nucleus for next year's team.

Nobody can deny that we have met with some success. No better time will come to Alfred in the future to complete the work.

Delay means a weakened coaching- system, lethargy among the student body and a tendency to di- vert any prospective material from the school.

Forget the reverses of the past two weeks, do your part to har- monize any feelings that may have arisen and give your un- stinted enthusiasm to football during the rest of the season. Show that we are not discouraged at the game against Thiel on Friday.

With the passing through both College and Agricultural student- bodies of an amendment to the constitution of the Fiat Lux pro- viding for an assistant manager in each school, the efficiency of the management will be greatly increased. We have, of necessity, been somewhat slow in filling the positions on the board of editors, but with the appointment of a third man from N. Y. S. A. this week we shall have our full com- plement of workers. We are still in the throes of organization and it, must be apparent that some time will be necessary to straighten out the entanglements resulting from the change from the old system to the new with its greater complexity. We should welcome suggestions from the alumni, faculty and students.

Once more let us remind you that this is YOUR paper.

The mass meeting held the evening before the Hobart game was scarcely up to the standard set during the first part of the year. If there is one thing that is discouraging, it is a mass meeting that drags. Let's have a little life Thursday night.

The "Press Club Medal" is, we think, one of the best schemes that has ever been advanced for obtaining publicity for Alfred. The results obtained by this plan will, of course, depend upon number who '' go out'' for it and the com- petitive spirit manifested. Al- ready there are several who have signified their intention of working for it and we hope this number will be increased. It is a fine opportunity to do something to show your loyalty to Alfred. We appreciate the interest of the alum- nus who has made this offer; it shows that he has the good of old Alfred at heart. It's up to the students now to show him that his interest is not misplaced.

We are glad to acknowledge the addition of the following periodi- cals to our exchange list: '' The Collegian" (Grove City, Pa.),

"The Wind Mill" (Manlius),

"Observer" (Dobb's Ferry H.

S.) "St. Johns'Echo" (St. Johns', Shanghai, China). This makes a considerably larger number of ex- changes than we have ever had before. All of them are excellent publications containing much of interest to Alfred students. The best weekly on our list is, beyond a doubt, the Rochester '' Campus,'' which, under the new staff and ih its changed form, is the most up-to-the-minute college paper we have seen. The Manlius "Wind Mill" is a splendid monthly, pro- fusely illustrated and an especially good example of the possibili- ties of journalistic development in a secondary school.

ASSEMBLY ADDRESS At the Assembly last Wednes- day, Dean A. B. Kenyon gave a most interesting account of " A Day in Ireland." Dublin was chosen as the base of operations, and Dean Kenyon took his audi- ence on a tour of inspection through the famous Irish city, visiting the University with its wonderful library, the public buildings, the beautiful parks and streets with their memorial statues of historical figures, and inter- spersing his description with com- mentaries on the people. This was the third of a series which began two years ago with '' A Day in England," followed last year by

"A Day in Scotland."

WHAT OTHERS THINK Former Editor of Review Gives

Sound Advice

Running a paper is a good deal like running a nation. There are differences of opinion. The Demo- crats happen to be in power just now, and the Republicans are finding plenty of opportunity for criticism. In the journalistic world we belong to the constructionists.

We mean that a newspaper should be constructed upon clearly de- fined lines. There are two or three departments under which all the activities of a journal must of a necessity fall.

One is the news department. Un- der this category is placed everything that is intended to tell tacts.

The news "stories" should bo par- ticular, not general; truths, not inferences; facts of legitimate interest, not gossip of sensational nature.

The editorial department should be kindly whenever possible, neither conservative nor radical, but always fearless.

The last department is that of advertising. It should be made entirely secondary to either or both of the other two departments.

These three must be maintained side by side, week after week, without blending or confusing one with the other. If there is any- thing that distinguishes a country weekly from a city daily, it JS the habit among papers of the former sort to mingle these three departments.

In a large office the departments are handled by separate men, and the tendency is to dif- ferentiate one from another, but in a weekly office the same few people are concerned in all departments. The same is, to a large extent, true in the management of the Review.

Let us illustrate: Suppose one of the prominent merchants in this city were having a sale of wondrous magnitude; of such phenomenal importance, let us say, that it deserves news men- tion. The local paper might chronicle the news something after this style:

"The Smith Mercantile Com- pany are this week engaged in staging one of the most elaborate

This illustration shows what a queer mixture can be made of the three departments. News has the most weight as far as facts go, when the personality of the re- porter is least in evidence. The style of the writer must be there, but not his personality. If you read a news item with a moral tied on to the end, you feel in- tuitively that the writer is preju- diced or biased.

The above is from a correspon- dence with a former editor of the Review (Milton College) who is now actively engaged in journalistic pursuite, and furnishes an excellent idea of what the aim of a college paper should be.

After singing '' Agricultural Hall" the meeting was adjourned.

N. Y. S. A. CHAPEL ADDRESSES

Tuesday, Nov. 3, chapel ex- ercises were conducted by Miss Julia Wood. Being a great lover of poetry, she read selections from Tennyson's, "Idylls of the King."

This-form of chapeladdress gives the Ag students information other than of agriculture and is greatly appreciated.

Thursday morning, Nov. 5, Prof.

Whitford of the wood-working department, read a paper in chapel on the "Lumber Industry of America." He told of the necessity of schools and colleges of forestry for the developing of ways and means of forest con- servation. Our forests are being consumed about four times as fast as they are growing and it will

•be a matter of only a few years when the forests will be entirely consumed. Most of us do not realize the enormous' amount of timber cut every year.

^TROUBLE BETWEEN THE LOWER CLASSES Unless present conditions are hanged considerably, there will oubtless be, for some time, much nnecessarily unfriendly feeling etween the two lower classes of .he Ag School. If it is is neces-

ary that these two classes be at

war with each other, then let i be by some organized contest properly arranged and a just de cision made, if such decisior would add to the laurels of th winning class.

If, however, such hostilities ar<

carried on merely for the satisfac tion of a few individuals who have certainly made themselves con spicuous during the past few days then let these childish actions be discontinued immediately.

Such practices as occurred or Wednesday and Friday nights of last week are entirely out of ac cord with the true spirit of loyaltj and helpfulness among the stu dents of N. Y. S. A., which has been, and should be, prevalent in the Ag School.

We realize that there are no set rules governing the actions of the new students in the Ag School, but wish to state that, in such ases, customs are usually the rule. As advice to the freshmen, it should be sufficient to say that a goodly number of that worthy

;lass have, up to the present time, Reported themselves in an alto- gether too conspicuous manner.

N. Y. S. A. CAMPUb George Willey spent the week- end at his home near Arkport.

Prof, and Mrs. Mead were in Ithaca on Saturday of last week.

The Ags will journey to Eldred Thursday to play the fast Eldred

earn.

" B o b " Griffiths, N. Y. S. A., 14, visited friends in town a part if last week.

Mildred Vaughn, N. Y. S. A., 13, was the guest of Mrs. Horace Griffiths a few days last week.

We are glad to see Conderman ack in the game. His work was big help to the Aggies last Fri- iay.

Amasa Travis, N. Y. S. A., '14, vas in town Monday and attended he Hobart-Alfred football game

t Hornell.

Rumor has it that a tonsorial lass is being organized in the Ag school. Judging from the appear- nce of certain individuals, such

course would not come amiss.

The Ag student body appreci- tes the support and cheers of the unch of college students at the Lg-Andover game on Friday.

Ve'll be with you at the game dth Thiel next Friday.

It takes an artist in the line of football to plow through the line, opening the way for a touchdown, balancing one man on your head and carrying one on each fist. The Aggies, however, can boast of such an individual—"Andy" is the guy.

Too much cannot be said of the ability of the Ag fullback to play eal football. " B o b " Broad is surely there with the rest of them as demonstrated by his excellent playing in the Hobart-Alfred ame at Hornell. In the Andover- Ag game his usual line-plunging was very noticeable. He also succeeds in getting away with a aumber of long forward passes for

arge gains.

"Doc" Brainard, one of An- lover's ringers and a man well- inown in Alfred, played his usual Id-style slugging game. He only succeeded in knocking out one of lis own men and in giving 'Andy" a sore nose. We do not dame '' Andy'' a bit for returning he compliment and are sorry he ,vas caught at it.

A rather small attendance was iresent at the regular meeting of ,he Country Life Men's Christian Association. Mr. Boyes was leader the men's session. He ex-

>lained in a very careful way, ,he topic, "Evidences of a New

"'aith in Rural Communities,'' and rought out many fine points on umerous sub-topics on this state- ment.

The topic for next Sunday ivening will be posted on the bul- etin' board in Ag' Hall. It is oped that the attendance will be increased.

SPECIAL HONORS IN MODERN LANGUAGES

It is the desire of the department of modern languages to as fully equip the prospective teachers of German and French a possible and thus to assist in the movement taking place throughout the country to raise the standard of high school instruction in these subjects. Particularly rapid is the advance in the matter of the oral use of the foreign language in the class room. With the year- ly increasing application of some form of the "direct method" in modern language instruction it becomes correspondingly imper- ative for the teachers-to-be of Ger- man and French to attain as great a proficiency in the spoken language as lies within their reach.

With the purpose of stimulating more interest in the oral side of language study and of insuring for those who intend to teach a broader basis for their profession, the department of modern languages makes the following announcement and urges those who purpose majoring (or are majoring) in German and French +,o become candidates for special honors in one of them. It is almost certain that, by thus rounding out the major course and by passing the examination, the prospective teacher can considerably increase his chances of obtaining a more lucrative position than is other- wise possible.

Any interested should confer with Prof. Titsworth.

Announcement

Juniors and seniors majoring in modern languages may become landidates for special honors in either German or French under

;he following conditions:

1. Application to become a can-

didate for these honors must be made to the head of the depart ment not later than December 1 of the senior year.

2. The following courses (ag gregating 31 hours), or their equivalents, must be taken: (a) for special hours in German: His tory 2 and 3 (History of Moderi the Nineteenth Century Europe) and German 2b (Oral and Written Composition), German 3 (Inter mediate German), German 4a (Nineteenth Century Novel), Ger- man 4b (Nineteenth Century Poetry), German 4c (Nineteenth Century Drama), German 5a (History of German Literature up to Nineteenth Century), Germai 6, (Teachers' Course—Methods) and German 6a (German Pro- nunciation) ; for special honors in French: History and French courses of like numbers and title:

with the German.

3. Candidates must complete 4000 pages of reading—1000 in English and 1000 in German in addition to the works read in the above courses—and hand in written reports on the same.

4. At the end of the senior year candidates will take a special examination—to be composed, one- half of an oral and one-half of a written test—in lieu of the regular final examinations in the department of modern languages.

LYCEUM COLUMN

ALFRE-GHANIAN

Saturday evening the Alfre- ghanian lyceum met in the Alle- gha'nian rooms. A joint program, which was necessarily short on account of the absence of three numbers, was rendered. Will- son's autobiography was indeed a revelation, and Miss Fink's edi- tion of "Excelsior" a very clever take-off.

The program:

Devotions Elmer Hunting Music Ivan Fisk Furnished by Cyrus Kruse and John Beebe

Autobiography G. M. Willson

"Excelsior" Lena Fink Alleghanian Harold Saunders

After the program the meeting adjourned for a "social time,"

games of various kinds being played. The meeting broke up about 11 o'clock, with the usual college songs and Alma Mater.

ATHENAEAN--OROPHILI&N The Athenaean-Orophilian joint session for the entertainment of the freshmen was held last Satur- day evening in the lyceum rooms at the Brick. The entertainment took the form of an evening with famous people, and the first number on the program was a costume feature, Scotch songs from Burns furnished by the Athenaean quartet, Mildred Saunders, '15, Rose Trenkle, '17, Mildred Place, 18, and Mary Saunders, '17, arrayed in Highland kilts. This was followed by an extremely clever car- toon lecture by the already emi- nent entertainer, Guy Rixford, '17.

Following this Katrine Vander Veer, '16, as Madame Pavlowa, danced most charmingly, her light and graceful trippings winning enthusiastic applause. Next came a series of tableaux, including:

"Romeo and Juliet," by Mary Saunders, '17, and Rose Tronkle, '17; "Monastery Book," by Pau- line Peterson, '15; '' Queen Eliza- beth and Sir Walter Raleigh," by Mildred Saunders, '15, Luella Eells, '15, and Earle Burdick, 16.

The Athenaean quartet then ap- peared for a second costume feature in negro songs from the South Following this a sketch, "Shades

on the Styx," was given. The lime was lyceum night and the place, the club room in Hades. In the session held there were famous men from all periods who took an active part, Dr. Johnson pre- siding most caustically, Darwin explaining in person his theory of evolution, Shakespeare and Dr.

Johnson, each claiming the author- ship of Hamlet, and Baron Mun- chausen personally relating out of his marvelous adventures-the ver- acity of which George Washington was unwilling to pronounce upon. Goldsmith was put out for boring the assemblage with his

"Vicar of Wakefield," Demosthe- nes was forced to use his pebble when giving advice, Jonah as- serted his claim to his whale and Adam, according to Confucius' judgment, acted like a monkey.

Following is the cast:

Dr. Johnson, President

Stanton Davis Baron Munchausen, who never tells the truth Aaron MacCoon Shakespeare Earle Burdick Washington, who never tells a lie

Raymond Howe Darwin Professor Bennehoff Confucius, chairman entertainment committee Otho Vars Goldsmith Mark Sheppard Adam William Stevens Demosthenes, with his pebble

Lawrence Babcock Jonah Grover Babcock

At the conclusion of the program a banquet was served in the Alfriedian room. Ninety guests were seated about the U-shaped table. The menu included :

Punch Creamed Chicken

Potatoes Persillade Carrots Rolls Pickles Cranberries Olives

Fruit Salad Wafers Ice Cream Cake

At the end of the banquet Presi- dent Davis spoke for a few mo- ments, expressing his pleasure in the successful work of the lyceums, and following this the Alma Mater was sung as a fitting conclusion of the evening's good time. The committees in charge were : Athenaeans—Eva Williams, '16, Katrine Vander Veer, '16, and Edna Jackson, '17; Orophi- lians—Aaron MacCoon, '15, Guy Rixford, '17, and William Ste- vens, '17.

UNION'S TRAINING COUNCIL Union College has just created a

"Training Council" the puvpose of which will be to supervise the training of candidates for Varsity - teams. It is composed of eight members, one from each fraternity and three neutrals. These men, after looking into any violation of the training rules, first speak to an offender and then, if the practice is not stopped, report the case to the council and coach for their consideration. The plan looks very good and if successful, prob- ably other small colleges will in- stall similar systems.
