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.

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.

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.

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.
