Freshman Union Organizing.
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.

Specimens of Crinoids for Yale.
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.

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 expected that a large number of
men will try for the team, as the double
victories of last year seem to have in-
creased the interest in debating through-
out the University.

Princeton Steady Advance,
The Princeton Eleven is making a
slow but sure advance all along the line,
and the coaches are confident that on
Nov. 12 they will be able to put a strong
team into the field. 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.
At a meeting of the Buckland Club,
held at the Law School on Wednesday

President, A. C. Corbin; Secretary and
