HARVARD.
In response to Captain Dean’s call for
candidates for the Harvard University
nine, forty-one men turned out, includ-
ing the entire team of last year. These
men have now been working steadily
in the cage for about three weeks under
the supervision of Mr. Keefe, who is
to coach the team this season. Batting
is practiced every morning by some of
the squad, with special attention to
bunting and style rather than to hard
hitting.
No radical change has been made in
the cage work; which consists, as usual,
of fielding grounders, quick starting
and sliding. The candidates are also
taken for good out-door runs and put
through gymnasium work, which com-
pletes their daily routine.
The Harvard base ball schedule for
this season is as follows: April 19,
Brockton at Brockton; April 24, Dart-
mouth at Hanover; May 5, Brown at
Cambridge; May 12, University of Vir-
ginia at Cambridge; May 15, Princeton
at Princeton; May 22, University of
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia; May 26,
Amherst at Amherst; May 31, Princeton
at Cambridge; June 8, Holy Cross at
Worcester; June 12, University of Penn-
sylvania at Cambridge; June 16, Brown
at Providence; June 24, Yale at Cam-
bridge; June 29, Yale at New Haven;
July 3, Yale at neutral grounds in case
of a tie,
CREW WORK.
For the past ten days the Harvard
crews have been able to do very little
on the water, save in pair oars, owing
to the unusually high tides; and if
current reports are well founded, their
stroke has fallen off considerably since
Mr. Lehmann’s departure. The im-
proved physical conditicn of the men is
about the only advantage of indoor
training, and it is said that Mr. Leh-
mann was in doubt whether the im-
provement in this direction would off-
set the injury to his stroke. According
to Mr. Lehmann’s policy, fewer long
and hard practice spins will be en-
gaged in this year, and on account of
this some of the boating enthusiasts
fear that the physical condition of the
men will not be such as to stand the
strain of a hard race.
The folowing men were taken to the
Harvard University crew training table
last Monday: D. M. Goodrich, ’98, S.
Hollister, ’97, A. A. Sprague, ’97, C. C.
Bull, °98, J. H. Perkins, ’98, J. B. Moul-
ton, ’?98, C. Thompson, ’99, J. F. Perkins,
799, EH. A. Boardman, ’99, E. N. Wright-
ington, ’97. .

lowing men will act as judges: Edwin

ident Seth Low of Columbia University
will preside.

CORNELL.
Cornell defeated the University of
Pennsylvania in the joint debate held at
Philadelphia. The subject was: “Re-
solved, That the United States and the
several States should establish courts
of compulsory adjustment of disputes
between employes and private corpora-
tions which possess franchises of a
public nature.’’
Pennsylvania upheld the affirmative
side of the question and Cornell had
the negative. The debaters were: Al-
bert L. Kramer, Roland S. Morris and
Louis McKeehan for Pennsylvania, and
Harley N. Crosby, Joshua R. Lewis and °
Daniel H. Wells for Cornell. The judges
were: John E. Parsons and Walter C.
Carter of New York, and ex-Attorney
General Hensel, of Lancaster, Penn.
The date of the dual athletic meet
between the teams of Pennsylvania and
Cornell has been fixed for Saturday,
May 15th.

The Fayerweather Will.
The Fayerweather will contest was
continued Monday before the Court of
Appeals at Albany. This court has re-
fused to amend its remittitur directing
that the remaining $3,000,000 be divided
among the twenty colleges as originally
intended by the tenth article of the will.
Winslow Paige of Schenectady, rep-
resenting Union College, on Monday
made a motion before the Court of Ap-
peals, asking that the whole case be re-
argued before the court.
The court reserved its decision on the
motion and, as the WEEKLY went to
press, had made no announcement of
the course it would pursue. It seems
highly improbable, however, that the
case will be reargued. This recent de-
cision does not in any way affect Yale,
as it was only a confirmation of the de-
cision of the lower court.

Professor Verrill’s Discovery.
A. E. Verrill, professor of Zoology in
the University, has made an important
discovery in regard to fish. He has
made investigations with | aquaria
filled with a large variety of fish, and
has come to the conclusion that they
are not always the same color at night
as during the day and that some of
them can change color at will. The
investigations were made at night
with the aid of a light, which, while
sufficiently bright to enable Prof. Ver-
rill to see through the water clearly,
was not enough to disturb the fish.
Being thoroughly familiar with the
color of the fish during the day he
could detect any changes at once. Prof.
Verrill thinks there is a great deal
about the subject which is entirely
unknown at present by zoologists.

Decrease in Clergymen Grad-
uated.
The New Haven correspondent of the
New York Evening Post has furnished
the following statistical comparison of
the classes of 1896 and 1871: ‘“Statis-
tics of the occupations of the last grad-
uating class (1896) show that 71 are
studying law, 21 are graduate students,
16 studying medicine, 14 in mercantile
business, 18 teaching, 6 travelling, 4 in
banking, 4 in journalism, and 5 study-
ing theology, while 20 are scattered in
other vocations, and 101 have not been
heard from. The class graduated with
about 275 men, and the small propor-
tion entering the pulpit is a striking
illustration of,a modern fact in the re-
lation of the profession to Yale grad-
uating classes. Twenty-five years ago
the class of 1871, with 104 graduating
members, turned out 12 clergymen; the
class of 1846, with 83 graduates, 16
clergymen; and the class of 1821 takes
us back seventy-five years to the theo-
cratic period of the college and of New
England, with 27 clergymen out of a
class of 69.’’
