At a meeting of the Academic Fresh- man Class, held in Alumni Hall, on Wednesday, October 12, 1808, for the purpose of organizing the Freshman Union, it was decided to elect a com- mittee of three, to take charge of the Union for the first three weeks, and at the end of this time to elect officers. The following committee was elected: Chairman, William Edwards Day, of Indianapolis, Ind.; Edward Lyttleton Fox, of New York City, and Charles Harold Collins, of Brooklyn, N. Y. The meeting was attended by over two hundred men, and was addressed by J. K. Clark, ‘99, President of the Yale Union, who briefly outlined the purpose and proposed work of the Freshman Union. Mr. Clark hopes that debates can be arranged with Freshman unions of Columbia and Harvard, but is not con~ fident of success. te a le ee University Extension Lectures.

The Peabody Museum of Yale has been recently enriched by the addition of a large slab of crinoids, which is very interesting to paleontologists. The specimen measures five by seven feet, and is the largest of its kind, and most perfect yet discovered. It is from the ae meen ee phere Kansas, and was presente Prof. O. C. Marsh, Mas sr ae Pe specimen in 1870, in Utah, near the Uinta Mountains, and hence the genus was named Uintacrinus. There are over 200 of these crinoids on this new slab, and it is a peculiar feature that all are of the same species. The specimen is being mounted by Prof. Beecher, and will soon be on exhibition. hb & a Dat The Yale-Princeton Debate. The date of the Yale-Princeton debate will be Tuesday evening, December 6th, and it will be held in New Haven. Yale has submitted the question for debate, “Resolved, That the United States should annex Cuba,” and Prince- ton will announce her choice of sides before November Ist. The preliminary trials for places on the team will be held in about two weeks and final trials a week later.

It is not unlikely that Kelley will be behind the line with Reiter for the big game. Wheeler’s re- covery from his injury gives Prince- ton another excellent man behind the line.
