NEWS OF OTHER COLLEGES, HARVARD. Judging from the large attendance and enthusiasm displayed at the mass meeting held in Sanders Theater on Monday night it certainly seems as if the interest shown recently in row- ing affairs by Harvard men is real and of a permanent character, and not merely a passing curiosity aroused by the advent of Mr. Lehmann, and which will disappear on his departure. Speeches were made by Major Higgin- son, Hon, William Everett and Mr. Lehmann. The latter is quoted as follows: “To a cold-blooded philosopher it seems ridiculous that eight men should wield their oars, not for gain, but merely for mental and physical con- sideration, for the sake of rowing alone. We older men love to see you engage in this sport, for we know that it is a splendid physical exercise, pro- motive of all manly virtues. The de- sire of victory must be present, but the victory itself is nothing. Ever in exercise we can have high ideals and lofty aims. Let us do whatever we have to do with all our might and main, “Tf look -forward to the time when I shall return, and with the help of the oarsmen we shall carry the work to a successful issue. I thank you for the opportunity you have given to me of addressing you; for your patience and courtesy to me here, and, above all, because you have given to my heart a right to beat in unison with those of Harvard men the world over.” Mr. Lehmann sailed yesterday for England, but expects to return to Cambridge early in March, and will be with the crew until after the Poughkeepsie race. The Harvard University crew took their last row of the year on the river Friday afternoon, and will not go into training again until some time in January. The men rowed in the fol- lowing order: Stroke, Bull; 7, Good- rich; 6, J. F. Perkins; 5, J. H. Perkins; 4, Sprague; 38, Hollister; 2, Thomson; bow, Boardman. It has been decided to omit the usual Fall concert given in Sanders Theater by the Musical Clubs and to give a concert in its stead after the Christmas recess. PRINCETON. The first of the series of six indoor handicap meetings arranged.by the Princeton Track Management was held at the Casino last Wednesday afternoon. One of the most serious obstacles with which Princeton track athletics has had to contend in the past has been the lack of incentive to steady winter practice and it is hoped that these competitions will put a new interest into the rather motonous work of the track men, On- ly four events were contested on ac- count of darkness, and the remainder will probably be concluded next Saturday. Aithough the program was not completed the events were very interesting, especially the 28 yards dash, in which there were three dead heats. The summary of the games is as fol- fows: 28 yard = dash, final—Jarvis, 1900 (scratch), first; Heindon, ’99 (4 feet), sec- ond; Bottger, ’99, (8 feet), third; time 8 4-5 seconds. Putting 12 pound shot—Bottger, ’99, (3 1-2 feet), first; Garrett, ’97, (scratch), second; distance, 43 feet. Putting 16 pound shot—Craig, Senior, (3 feet), first; Potter, ’98, (4 feet), second: Garrett, °97, (scratch), third; distance, 35 feet 10 1-2 inches. Light weight wrestling—Poe, 1900, threw Harkness, ’97; time, 1 minute, 45 seconds, The Seniors have elected the following « class officers: President, Robert Garrett, Jr., of Baltimore, Md.; Vice-President, W.

The workmen are Now making excavations for the foundations of the building at the end next Witherspoon Hall. The work is being pushed as rapidly as possible and from present prospects the buiiding will be ready for occupancy next Fall as was originally intended. The Inter-hall committee on debate has decided to hold a supper at the Princeton ~ Inn immediately after the Harvard de- bate on,Dec. 18. It is expected that there will be representatives present from both Yale and Harvard who will make short addresses. The Inter-hall commit- tee has extended an invitation to the stu- dents at Yale to be present at this de- bate. Att a recent meeting of those men in College interested in whist, it was de- cided to hold a tournament as soon 4s possible. A challenge has been received from Yale for a series of games to be played in the early Spring, and it is for the purpose of determining whether there is a sufficient knowledge of the game in Princeton to justify the acceptance of the challenge, that the tournament has been arranged. OTHER COLLEGE ITEMS. William McKeever, ’98, is Cornell’s football captain for next year. He played substitute end on the Universi- ty of Pennsylvania team in °93 until injuries compelled his retirement. Last year he played left end on Cornell’s team, and this season he has played at right half back. John H. Minds, ’£8, will captain the Pennsylvania eleven next year. He has played on the team for three years, — first at tackle, then at half back, and this year at full back. William F.

Mr. Francis Bergstrom, a graduate of Yale College in the class of ’88 and a member of the Minneapolis Bar, has compiled and published a directory of the graduates of Yale College in the practice of law. It is arranged in al- phabetical order by States, cities and towns. The names are arranged in or- der oficlasses, the name of the oldest graduate in any place being first, etc. It contains 1,400 names, representing 40 States, 300 cites and towns and six foreign countries. The purpose of this directory is to facilitate professional correspondence among Yale graduates. In glancing over its pages many eminent names are noticed, among them the names of three United States Supreme Court Justices,— Shiras, Brewer and Brown; Hon. Wil- liam K. Townsend, Judge of the Uni- ted States District Court of Connecti- cut; Hon. John M. Thayer, Judge of the Superior Court of Connecticut;’ Leonard E. Wales and Hon.. Hon. Charles M. Cullen, Associate Justices of the Superior Court of Delaware; Hon. Anthony Higgins, ex-United States Senator; Hon. Henry B. Free- man, Judge of the Superior Court of Tllinois;: Hon. James H. Brent, Judge of the Sup2rior Court of Kentucky; Hon. Isaac Atwater, ex-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Minnesota; Hon. Irvington G. Vann, Judge of the Court of Appeals for New York; Hon.

The price of this directory is 50 cents. AS DISTRIBUTED AMONG THE STATES.
