To take precedence thus of the Academic procession and the honored guests is, to say the least, hardly in good form; it may even give rise to obloquy involving our good reputation. There may be other ways in which we might appear to better advantage, but there is no necessity for dwelling further upon the matter. The mere mention of the circumstance ought to be sufficient commentary. We content ourselves, therefore, with the suggestion that here is an opportunity for each student to make some return to Alma Mater by doing his small part toward making her public exercises more truly representative.

Are You Interested?

With the end of the term but a few weeks off it will soon devolve upon us to make provision for next year's Board of Editors. It is more than probable that there will be several vacancies to be filled, and we are desirous of securing the very best material in college. If you have ambitions in this direction, or if you are only mildly interested, a call on the Managing Editor at your earliest convenience might prove mutually advantageous. We desire to emphasize, however, that prospective candidates must demonstrate some ability before they can hope for appointment to the literary or business departments of our publication. Ample opportunities to qualify will be afforded any likely applicant and we trust a considerable number of embryo Greeleys and Danas will manifest interest in our proposition.

Our Freshmen-to-be, the classs of June, 1913, elected the following officers last Friday: J. Sullivan, President; J. Lewis, Vice-President; M. Meyer, Secretary; M. Magin, Treasurer, and N. Johnson, Historian.

The Class of 1907 held its second annual re-union last Saturday night at Reisenweber's in a room next to that in which the Fresh-Soph banquet was being held. At one period of the evening, the connecting doors were thrown open and alumni and undergraduates saluted each other with songs and cheers. Handsome class flags were souvenirs of the occasion.

FRED S. BAILEY, T. H. H. Editor.

T. H. H. 1; Morris, 24.

Watched by the biggest and most enthusiastic crowd of rooters seen at a game this year, Townsend Harris went down to a terrible defeat before Morris last Saturday at American League Park. The teams showing was inexplicable and they are still pinching each other to see if it wasn't only a bad dream. Newton officiated for us during the first inning and let the whole Morris team make the circuit. Then Dudensing went in and in his four innings the entire Morris team ran another Marathon race around the diamond. For the remaining four innings, Mullen held them down to six additional tallies. Bengert made one lone tally for T.H.H. through Morris' errors in the third inning. Ex-Captain Polley of T. H. H. played good ball for Morris while Yule and St. John were invincible as a battery.

T. H. H. 7; Commerce, 18.

Well, there was some improvement over last year's slaughter of 27-0, and although we came out with the short end of the score, the team played good ball, outside of that sixth inning. Mullen, who was on the slab, pitched well up till then, but tiring, the first four men hit him safely. Then "Doc" Newton was called in to stem the tide, but with three men on the bases and no one out, he was up against a tough proposition. But they got only ten runs. Fleck played the game of his life, in spite of the injury that he received in the Curtis game. "Babe" had seven put outs, five assists, a homer and a three-bagger to his credit. That is "going some." We will grin and say, "wait until next year."

Last Friday Stuyvesant forfeited in Tennis to T. H. H. on Saturday T. H. H. was beaten by Morris by a narrow margin. This makes a triple tie for first place between T. H. H., Morris and Commerce.

Our Swimmers at Philadelphia.

In the contest for the Scholastic Championship of the United States held at Philadelphia last Saturday, Townsend Harris took fourth place. The Championship was won by Lawrenceville, with Central H. S. second, and Haverford third. Kohn took third place in the 100yard swim, Davis third in the 200, Kohn and Davis tied for fourth place in the 100-foot event, while little Peoli won fourth position in the fancy diving. Our relay, consisting of Kohn, Fisher, Davis and Rogers, came in third, being narrowly beaten by Lawrenceville and Central H. S. Record time was made in nearly every event, and our boys are to be congratulated for their splendid work.

On Friday, the day before our game with Morris, the enterprising Committee on Mass Meetings succeeded in getting about 350 Harris fellows in the Chapel, where an enthusiastic meeting took place. Hess and Pollock started the fireworks with a Harris cheer (?). We should say an attempt. But after the first two speakers, the enthusiasm rose rapidly. The Track Team was much in evidence, and we hope that if any German instructors were present, they will give the fellows an extra boost in their marks for their "Umlant" yell. Mr. Mendelsohn's and Pollock's addresses were appreciated and duly applauded. Results of the rally were quick and satisfactory, about a hundred fellows buying tickets as they went out. Everyone would like to see more of these meetings, and there is sure to be a large attendance at the next rally.

It was found necessary to postpone the Inter-Class Swimming meet indefinitely, as so few entries were received, and such small interest was evinced by most of the fellows that to hold the contest would have been utterly impracticable.

Dr. Grendon's address on " Oscar Wilde," which was delivered to the Progressive Literary Society on Friday, was received with great enthusiasm. More of these interesting lectures will be given.

Hajek is showing great form now that the outdoor season has begun. He went the 220 in 23 4-5 seconds on Thursday. This is certainly fast time.

O our College comes the distinction of being the first educational institution to observe, by fitting exercises, the movement towards international peace. Upon the suggestion of Professor Clark, an assembly was held last Wednesday in the Great Hall in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Hague Conference. Thanks to the efforts of President Finley, the Hon. Joseph H. Choate, who was one of the delegates of the United States to the second Hague Conference in 1907, was induced to come and address the gathering. Introducing Mr. Choate to his audience, President Finley said "I like to think of this institution as a Hall of Knights' in the western world; as a little parliament of men gathered to study the knowledges, hopes and ideals, not of any nation, but of all mankind."

Holding himself down, with unusual rigor, to only one or two jokes, Mr. Choate spoke about the practical work accomplished by the second Hague Conference. He outlined the advance made in the direction of international arbitration by the establishment of a prize court, and by obtaining the consent of all nations not to resort to force, in the collection of debts, until arbitration had first been tried.

Among the distinguished friends of our college who attended the Assembly were Trustee Theodore F. Miller, '69, and Mr. Lewis Sayre Burchard, '77. To the charm of the speakers was added also the beauty of Professor Baldwin's music and that of our orchestra and chorus.
