HILL SCHOOL.
The ‘Hill School team, as was the
case with so many of the school
elevens this year, was rather lighter
than former teams-of the school, but
this weakness was made up by quick,
aggressive play, and some excellent
work was done by the eleven. The
most important game was against
Lawrenceville in which the Hill team
was defeated: score, 14 to 6. Other
games resulted: University of Penn-
sylvania scrub 12, Hill 4; Lehigh, ’99, 4,
Hill 6: Princeton, 1900, 14, Hill 4; Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, 1900, 0; Hill
30; Hil Alumni at Yale 8, Hill 16.
Games won, 4; games lost 3.
The following composed the team:
Ends, . 1: B.- Cox -.and: To12 Gains,
tackles, J. G. Milburn and H. H. Lord;
guards, M. F. Mills and J. E. Bemy;
center, W. H. Chadick; quarter-back,
WwW. M. Fincke, (Captain); half-backs,
P. C. Keifer and T. B. French; full-
back, P. B. Monypenny.
Only two of the players graduate.
Keifer will enter Yale. Fincke is un-
decided.
TAFT’S SCHOOL.
The Taft’s School of Watertown,
Conn., played an exceptionally strong
eleven in the field this year. The
team played ten games, suffering but
one defeat. Hotchkiss defeated Taft’s
38 to 6, but with this exception the
team was not scored on. The eleven
was composed of the following: Right
end, C. Lloyd; right tackle, S. Bell;
right guard, D. Welch; center, H. Mer-
riman; left guard, Guthrie; left
tackle, L. White; left end, P. Barnett;
quarter-back, B. White; right half-
back, G. Lear: left half-back, J. Lear;
fullback, R. Townshend.

cellent work at half-back, as well as
fullback. Seven players graduate and
will all enter Yale. They are: J. Lear,
Townshend, Bell, Welch, Merriman,
White, Barnet.
NEW BRITAIN HIGH.
In the Connecticut Interscholastic
League, the New Britain High School
had the champion team. This eleven
won twelve games, lost none, and
were only scored on twice. Their to-
tal points scored were 296; their op-
ponents scored 12. No former team of
the school has equalled this record.
Some of the more important scores
were: New Britain 6, Meriden High
School 0; New Britain 12, Bridgeport
High School 0; New Britain 18, Hart-

nery; left end, A. Griswold; quarter-
back, J. E. Meehan (Captain); right
half-back, G. Fitch; left half-back, G.
Brinley; fullback, P. O’Donnell.
The work of the two tackles, Mc-
Donough and Flannery, was strong,
and O’Donnell makes a good fullback.
Eight men graduate. Three, Flan-
nery, Buckley and Corbin, will enter
Yale, three are undecided; two will
not go to college.
MERIDEN HIGH.
The Meriden High School was sec-
cnd to New Britain in the Connecti-

that the 48 football players who grad-
uate from the schools of Andover, St.
Paul’s, Tu1wrenceville, Hotchkiss, Gro-
ton, St. Mark’s, Taft’s, Hill and West-
minster, will be divided among the col-

bia 9, Princeton 6, other universities
11. The total number to graduate is
114,
No special mention is made of the
Trinity School and Barnard School of
the New York League or of the Brook-
lyn High and Polytechnic Preparatory
Schools of the Long {sland League, be-
cause from these the required in-
formation was not received. Their
record, however, is given in the re-
ports of the games of the _ other
schools.

On Cornells Latest Yell.
[Cambridge (Eng.) Review.]
The athletic meeting between Ox-
ford and Yale in London, and the re-
cent appearances of American crews
at Henley, have provided many Op-
portunities for the untraveled English-
man of hearing the college war cries
so typical of the American under-
eraduate. These cries, based original-
ly upon the three times thrice repeat-
ed “Hurrah,” of which the first sylla-
ble became lost, have received end-
less specialization in particular col-
leges, from the preliminary ‘‘Brek-ek-
ek-ex—,”’ of Yale to the ‘Yell, Yell,
Yell,” of Cornell, and are also modi-
ified to suit individuai years, or ‘‘class-
es” of men in the same college. The
latest effort of this kind is from Cor-
nell, where, according to the local pa-
per, at a meeting of the Freshman
class, “‘the committee on yell’ submit-
ted several yells to be voted upon.
After considerable discussion and re-
hearsing of the various yells, the fol-
lowing one was unanimously adopted:
‘Win-de-Siec(le), Siec(le), Fin-de-
Siec, We yell: 1900; 1900; Cornell, Cor-
nell, Cornell.’
Tt would be hard to find a@ more
elaborate product of the sumptuary
laws for the emotions, so peculiarly
Transatlantic.

AMERICAN SCHOOL AT ATHENS.
Report of Increased Attendance and
Marked Prosperity.
The fifteenth annual report of the
managing committee of the American
_ School of Classical Study at Athens,
compiled by the Chairman, Professor
Thomas D. Seymour, has recently ap-
peared. A new feature of the report
is five half-tone full page cuts of
places and objects of interest at Co-
rinth, including views of the ancient
theater there. The number of stu-
dents in attendance at the school has
nearly doubled since last year.
In his report Professor Seymour
says: “The work of the school during
the past year has been as prosperous
as that of any year of its history.
Nothing has occurred to interfere with
the school’s usefulness or with the
comfort of its members.’’ :
Syracuse University has joined the
institutions jin the support of the
school and Professor Edgar A. Emens
of that University has been elected to
be its representative on the managing
committee. |
In the Faculty of the school Profes-
sor Benjamin I. Wheeler of Cornell has
succeeded Professor Thomas D. Good-
ell of Yale in the Professorship of the
Greek Language and Literature. Pro-
fessor J. R. Sitlington Sterrett of Am-
herst has accepted this Professorship
for 1896-97, and Doctor Waldstein has
been unanimously re-elected Professor
of Art for 1896-’97.
In the Spring of 1897 the managing
committee will award two Fellowships
in Greek Archaeology, each of the val-
ue of $600 to be held during the school
year 1897-’98. These Fellowships are
open to all Bachelors of Arts of uni-
versities and colleges in the United
States. They will be awarded chiefly
on the.basis of a written examination.
The examinations will be held on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May
26, 21 and 22, 1897, at Athens, Rome,
Berlin, and in America at any college
that a candidate may select of the in-
stitutions which co-operate in the sup-
port of the school. Each candidate
must announce his intention to offer
himself for examination to Professor
John W. White, Cambridge, Mass., not
later than April 1, 1897.
Following the report of the Chair-
man of the managing committee, come
the reports of the Director and Pro-
fessors of the school. In the report of
the Director of the school, Professor
R. B. Richardson, an account is given
of the excavation undertaken by him
in behalf of the school and the Archae-
ological Institute, on the site of an-
cient Corinth. Doctor Waldstein, as
Professor of Art, reports progress in
the preparation for publication of the
objects at the Argive Heraeum. Pro-
fessor B. I. Wheeler, in his report,
gives an account of the work of the
students of the school during the year
1895-’96, under his direction as Profes-
sor of the Greek Language and Liter-
ature.
A circular of information for stu-
dents who propose to join the school
is added to the report, and a copy of
the examination papers, set at the last
Fellowship examinations.

President Dwight’s Return.
President Dwight, who has been travel-
ling in Europe during the past six
months, will sail from England on the
steamer St. Paul on December 26. The
steamer will be due at New York on
January 2, so that the President should
be in New Haven before college exer-
cises begin again.
He has made quite an extensive trip
through England and the Continent,
going to France, Germany, Italy and °
Switzerland. Winthrop E. Dwight, ’93,
who accompanied the President, will
remain at Oxford to study.
>
The Cornell crews have begun in-
door training. About 100 men have
presented themselves as candidates
for the Freshman crew.
G. H. Ferbert has been unanimously
¢
elected Captain of the University of ©
Michigan football team for next sea-
son.
The Courses for Teachers.
There has been for the past term an
average attendance of 126 on the
special courses given in the Graduate
Department, for the first time this
year for Connecticut teachers. Each
course consists of twenty-four exer-
cises given on Saturday morning—eight
in each town. During the past term
they have been attended by about 126
teachers, many of whom come to New
Haven from out of town. Courses in
Psychology and Pedagogy, Political
and Social Science, History, English,
Greek, and Biology were elected by a
sufficient number of teachers to insure
their being given. Seventeen teachers
chose Psychology and Pedagogy,
eleven Political and Social Science,
forty History, thirty-two English,
eleven Greek, and (fifteen Biology.
Courses in Modern Languages, Chem-
istry, Physics and Mathematics were
also offered, but failed to secure the
ten teachers necessary to form a class.
It will be seen that History, English
and Biology drew almost seventy per
cent of the whole number attending.
The courses will be taken up next
term under a different corps of in-
structors. Professor George M. Dun-
can will have charge of the course in
Educational Psychology, Professor
Irving Fisher the course in Money and
Monetary Reform, Professor Charles
H. Smith the course in Constitutional
History of the United States, Profes-
sor Albert S. Cook that on Milton,
Professor Bernadotte Perrin that on
Greek Life, and Professor Russell H.
Chittenden the course in Physiology.

Entries in the Chess Tourna-.
ment.
The contestants from Columbia,
Harvard, Yale and Princeton in the
Chess Tournament have been selected,
and their names are printed below. In
at least two of the colleges, the in-
terest in chess is decidedly on the ine
crease. Columbia, always a strong
chess institution, has had such a long
list of entries this year that it was
impossible to finish the Tournament
the usual time, and the team for the
intercollegiate contest had to be se-
lected before the College tournament
closed.
The entries here at Yale have been
more numerous than usual and the
play has been very much above the
average of last year. The training of
the players under the direction of Ma-
jor Hannam has been going on daily
and some brilliant work 1s reported.
The feeling is that Yale will make a
better showing than she ever. has: be-
fore.
At Columbia, Pilsbury has been en-
gaged for a coach, but the feeling is
still that Harvard has the best chance’
for the Cup. Southard is known as
a very cautious, as well as a progres-
Sive and modern player, while Ryder,
though a bit less sure, is more. re-
sourceful and vigorous in attack.
The final names for the entries to
the Chess Tournament are as follows:
Columbia—Contestants: Asa W. Par-
ker, Mines, ’99: George O. Seward,
Mines, ’98. Substitutes: G. Parker,
1900; A. M. Price, ’97, Law.
Harvard—Contestants: Arthur Wm.
Ryder, °’97; Elmer 3. Southard, °97.
Substitutes: Walter C. Arensberg,
1900; James Hewins, Jr., ’98.
Yale—Contestants: F. A. Lehlbach,
°98; William M. Murdoch, ’988. Sub-
stitutes: L. A. Cook, 1900: H. C. Rob-
bins, 99.
Princeton—Contestants: Edmund B.
Seymour, ’98; William W. Young, ’998.
Substitutes: J. A. Ely, °99S.° FW.
Jarvis, 1900.

Gymnasium of the University of
Chicago.
The plans are now being drawn up
for an enormous gymnasium soon to
be constructed for the University of
Chicago. The building itself will be
three hundred feet by one hundred,
and a covered athletic field in the form
of ar amphitheatre will be con-
structed, six hundred feet by four
hundred. It will be surmounted at the
height of one hundred and fifty feet
by a glass roof, and will be suitable
for indoor games of baseball, as well
as football.
The total cost will not be more than
$600,000, of which the glass shed will
require $180.000 and the gymnasium
proper $120,000. These figures do not
include the cost of the ground, which
is owned by Marshall Field.
