PROWL OTHER COLLEGES What Harvard and Princeton Have Done in the Past Week. The political campaign is being car- ried on energetically at Harvard. A Republican Club, with a membership of 500, a Sound Money Club number- ing over 200, and a Silver Club of about 75 men are all actively engaged in the campaign. Dates have been ar- for torchlight parades, in which Republican and Sound Money Clubs from various New England col- leges will join, and a circular letter has been sent to the Sound Money Clubs of several colleges calling for the formation of an Intercollegiate League. The Crimson is holding a mock ballot for President of the United States, the result of which will be announced today. In this ballot any member of the University, officer or student whose name appears in the preliminary catalogue is entitled to vote, Owing to the probable absence of Mr. Mumford, the Harvard coach, the advisability is being considered of in- viting Mr. R. C. Lehman, Oxford’s famous coach, to assist in the coach- ing of the University crew next spring. Mr. Lehman has made his reputation by training the Leander and Oxford crews since 1890. Harvard Wednesday, October 14, by a score of 28-0; and the following Saturday beat Brown 12-0. ranged AT PRINCETON. A torchlight procession was held at Princeton last night in which the graduates of classes from 1823-96, the undergraduates, the Mercer Blues and delegations from Yale and Harvard took part. The parade formed part of the celebration of Princeton’s 150th an- niversary. The Republican Club has organized, and a committee has been appointed to form a marching company. An effort is being made to secure Speaker Reed to address the College at the invitation of the Club. The new Library building which is now in process of erection is to be the finest specimen of the college library in this country. Surrounding a _ large court, in the form of a rectangle, it is to be built in the Gothic collegiate style. It will occupy the site of the old Chapel, built in 1847, and when fin- ished will have a capacity for 1,200,000 books, besides being used in part for recitation rooms. The architect of the building is William A. Porter of New York, and the plans allow for an expenditure of $600,000. Princeton defeated the Carlisle In- dians on October 14 by the score of 22 to 6; and West Point, on October 17, by the score of 11 to 0. a Art Schooi Opening. The opening of the Art School this year is very encouraging. The old students have now nearly all come back and many new ones have en- tered. The number is now 47, which is six larger than that of last year and is the largest ever known in the history of the Art School. It was thought last year that the large prize of $1,500 founded by Mrs. Winchester in memory of William Wirt Winches- ter, and offered then for the first time, had something to do with swelling the numbers, but this can not be the cause this year as the prize is given but once in every two years. Considering this and the present hard times, the num- bers seem rather remarkable. There is some hope of giving an art exhibition this year but as yet no definite arrangements have been made or any time set. There will be the regular course of lectures during the winter, but no exact dates have yet been made with speakers. They will begin as soon as it is possible to ar- range for them. defeated Wesleyan on Bryan meeting in New Haven, YALE ALUMNI The Political Clubs, The Law School Free Silver Club, which was formed October 14th at a meeting of those favoring free silver coinage, and at which meeting officers were elected, has now a membership cf thirty-five. The main object of the club is to show that the silver men are taking as much active interest in the political struggle of the day as their more numerous opponents, the gold standard men. A league is to be formed of all the silver clubs of the different universi- ties, which league has the support of the (silver) Democratic party. Owiing to the shortness of the time between now and election, and the for- bidding on the part of the College au- thorities of any political clubs taking part in parades, nothing especial will be done by the Club, beyond the form- ing of the University League, which has already been mentioned. THE SOPHOMORE CLUBS. A debate was held Monday evening, October 19th, between the Palmer and McKinley Sophcmore Clubs. A. HE. Jones of the Bryan and Sewall Club presided at the meeting. The debate was upon the tariff planks of the respective platforms of the two parties. For the Palmer Club, L. D. Armstrong and J. B. Seymour spoke; for the McKinley Club, A. 8. Gale and J. K. Clark. No decision of the merits of the debate was render- ed, but the majority of those present thought the argument of the speakers for the Palmer Club was the strongest. The next debate will be held Mon- day evening, October 26th. The sub- ject of the debate will be “The Free and Unlimited Coinage of Silver;” members from the Bryan and Sewall Club, and from the Palmer Club tak- ing part. 1S —_———_+ee—__—_ The Field House Robbed. The athletic house at the Yale Field was broken into a week ago last Mon- day night and ten of the lockers rifled. This is the fourth time that a similar occurrence has happened within the past few years and in no case has the thief been caught. This year, however, some of the property has been recover- ed. ———_—__> > _—_—__——- Scott Prize in German.
