The most noticeable features of the
schedule are the dates with Cornell and
Georgetown University. These colleges
have not before appeared on the list. It
has been the aim of the management to
secure games with as many as possible
of the leading colleges and the schedule
shows that their efforts in this direction
have been attended with success. The
Lawrenceville game has yet not been
arranged.
At a meeting of the candidates for the
track team April 7, 54 men handed in
their names. Sydney Peet, who has been
engaged to coach, began his work Mon-
day, April 9. Mr. Peet has been work-
ing under Murphy for the past two years
at the University of Pennsylvania. He
has had a long experience in track ath-
letics. His speciality is sprinting. The
training table was started April 3, with
twenty men, as follows: Capt. Craw-
ford, Manager Womelsdorf, Assistant
Manager Wilson, Schick, Cross, Jor-
dan, Armstrong, Goldsmith, Fallows,
Botchford, Robertson, Clucas, Sumner,
Esser, Yardley, Newton, Sturtevant,

This term will be an eventful one.
April 21, the students will present for
the first time a Latin play—“The Flight
of Aeneas,” from Virgil. The rehear-
sals are going on daily under the direc-
tion of Miss Mabel Barrows of Boston
who arranged the drama. During com-
mencement week, the Philomathian So-
ciety will celebrate its seventy-fifth an-
niversary. This is expected to be one
of the most notable events in the history
of the School. Early in May, the Robin.
son Prize debate will be held.
Baseball gives promise of a very good
season. Six of last year’s men are back
at least four of whom will undoubtedly
retain their positions, and competition
is brisk for the other places. The squad
now numbers 18 men. These have been
practicing on the diamond about two
> weeks.
