In this way they would not only make our in
stitution better known, but they would also en
courage the publication of college periodicals.
We think that our publications compare favorably
with the issues of any other college, and here
they have a chance to help us.
MR. EDITOR, :
As yet no movement has been made on the
p trt of the collele classL s t ) arrange a schedule
of class foot ball game.. The interest which
was ta! , en in class games last year is surely a
wa rat that their ios,itution again this Fall
would he a success. We hope that prompt
movement will be mado on the part of the stu
dents toward arranging such .a schedule. The
interest in class games seems to have died out
owing to the greater interest in the success of
our team in the State League, yet nothing
has a greater tenrlancy toward developing foot.
ball players than class matches. It is to be
hoped that they will bt revived.
MR. EDITOR :
The way in which the Freshmen and Sopho
mores came to an agreement about their cane rush,
is very gratifying to outsiders who are deeply in
terested in the college. It shows that a better
spirit is prevailing among the students at large.
When two classes can do away with the old, time
honored rush and amicably agree to decide it with
a foot-ball game it shows to disinterested persons
that the coming 'students are placing college be
fore class. The purpose for which the rush was
changed to a foot-ball game was, as we all know,
in order that the men who belong to the first foot

chances for a good record in foot-ball this season.

stamina to decide between class and college.
MR. EDITOR
The Alumni of our college has never aided to
any extent in the support of our college athletics.
The probable cause for such slight interest in our
success in field sports is the fact that they have
never been directly appealed to for aid. True
they are as yet comparatively few in number, yet
there are no doubt many of its members who, if
direct requests were made to them, would willing
ly give financial aid to our athletics. The matter
ter should be brought before them either individu
ally or in a body and then perhaps they • will be
brought to realize that one of the best means by
which they can show their patriotism toward their
Alma Mater is by aiding her undergraduates in
supporting her position in the college athletic
world.
