W. W. Farnam, ’66, Treasurer of the
Fund; Thomas Thacher, 71; W-: M.

The reports made at this meeting by
class. agents. ofthe werk done in. their
respective classes, and the amount of
money received indicate a successful
year for the fund, though many more
contributions, large and small, will have
to be received, and much vigorous and
persistent work done by Class Agents
before June, if the Fund is to reach the
figures which the Directors have long
considered their minimum annual dona-
tion to the University—$10,000.
Mr. Farnam, who, from his position
as Treasurer: both of the University
and of the Alumni Fund, has full knowl-
edge of the facts, spoke of the very
important aid furnished to the Univer-
sity by this Fund, which, though made
up largely of $5 and $10 subscriptions,
has been at times the only thing be-
tween the University and a_ serious
hampering debt.

Second Debating Team.
An auxiliary debating team has been
organized this year for the first time.
The team has been formed to give the
best training possible to the debaters
with Princeton.
In the past years single men have
been picked out to argue against the
University team, but a regular team has
never been organized for this purpose,
and it will undoubtedly prove a great
advantage over the old custom.
The second team, taking the Princeton
side of the question, will meet the regu-
lar team in a debate, and in this way the
faults and mistakes of the University
team will be shown.

Punishment for Disturbances.
The Freshman Faculty at a recent
meeting decided not to allow any
Sophomore-Freshman baseball game to
be played this Spring. It is not im-
probable that this game may be en-
tirely discontinued in the future. Last
year the game was forbidden, nomi-
nally on account of the disorder at the
Prom Concert. The real cause, how-
ever, was on account of the danger at-
tending such a game and the general
disorder which has increased yearly.
The removal of the game this year was
on that account and not through any
misbehavior of the Freshmen at this
year’s Concert.

Courant was. held at Heublein’s March
7th. Both the outgoing and incoming
