THE COLLEGE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK

Vol. V.

A

NOVEMBER 17, 1909.

The Dramatic Society.

No. 8

TIP. M. to-day, delegates, chosen from every section in College, are to meet in Room 126. There, they will proceed, under the direction of their respective class presidents, to elect members to the Dramatic Society. Each group of delegates from the same class will choose, from among all the students in their class, three such members with the exception of the two groups of Freshman delegates who are to elect only two representatives each. The six Seniors, six Juniors, six Sophomores and four Freshmen thus chosen, together with the four or five men remaining from last year's organizers, will constitute the Dramatic Society. This body, or its committees, will manage the business of bringing out a college show in the early part of 1910. Members of the cast are to be selected by the coach, according to their ability, from among the entire student body. The society, itself, will thus be simply an executive board of managers, and the section delegates should choose members with this end in view. Each of the eight class presidents is expected to bring the names of the members selected from his class to Professor Palmer before 2 P. M. to-day.

The Students' Union.

At 1.15 P. M. to-day, there will be held in Room 126, a mass-meeting of the Students' Union, at which officers for the coming term are to be chosen. The ticket put up by the nominating committee is as follows: President, T. Lefkovics or S. Oppenheim; Vice-President,

M. Acker or W. J. Trudden; Secretary, Jacobson or R. Toeplitz; Treasurer, M. Adler or J. Hemley. Nominations for any of these offices may also be made from the floor.

"French Day."

Next Wednesday, Ambassador Jusserand and many prominent Frenchmen of this city will visit our College. Exercises will be held in the Great Hall at 3 P. M. at which speeches of welcome will be delivered on behalf of the Faculty, the French Department and the students. A committee consisting of Messrs. Laffargue, Weill and Delamarre are preparing also a student programme consisting of a French debate and several costumed declamations. All recitations scheduled for 2 P. M. on that day will be advanced to 1 P. M. and all scheduled for 3 P. M. will take place at 2 P. M. This will leave every one free to attend the exercises.

Similar gatherings will take place in the near future at which the ambassadors of other nations are to be received. The German Ambassador, Count von Bernsdorf, has already accepted President Finley's invitation to be present on "German Day," December 20th.

Adelphian Open Meeting.

On Friday evening, December 3rd, the Adelphians will hold an informal open meeting in Room 3. A regular program will be carried out so as to enable the visitors to form a fair judgment of the work the society does. All students will be welcome, but the presence of Freshmen and Sophomores is particularly desired. The meeting will commence at 8:30 P. M. sharp and will be devoted purely to literary work and discussion.

Another Dramatic Recital.

Mr. Henry J. Hadfield, whose recent recital before the Senior Education Society was so well received, will give another dramatic representation in Townsend Harris Hall to-morrow evening at 8:15 P. M. The instructing corps, all seniors and their friends are invited. Mr. Hadfield will declaim from Kipling.

Concerning War.

Mr. Hudson Maxim, the noted inventor, will deliver a lecture this Friday afternoon under the auspices of the Chemistry Department, upon "The Warfare of the Future." It will be recalled that Mr. Maxim is the authority on smokeless powder and noiseless guns. The doors of the lecture theatre will close at 3:15 P. M.

More About War.

Through the courtesy of Congressman Herbert N. Parsons, students residing in the 13th Congressional District are given an opportunity to take the West Point entrance examination. All applicants must be between the ages of 17 to 22 and should address Mr. Parsons at 52 William Street not later than this Friday.

Senior Dance.

All college men are welcome to attend the Senior Dance which will take place in the gym on Friday evening, December 17th. The subscription price is two dollars. Judging from the Class of 1910's dance last year, the affair will be a great success. The dance committee consists of Lippman, chairman; Bance, Weiss, Perlman, Brisk and Kaplan.

Notes of the Faculty.

In the current number of the American Physical Educational Review, there appears a very interesting article by Professor Storey upon "The Relation of School Hygiene to Physical Education."

Last Wednesday evening, Prof. Clark delivered a Lecture on "Trusts" at the Y. M. H. A., of the Bronx.

Mr. Weill is busy delivering a series of lectures in this and other cities. Last Saturday, he spoke in Providence on "The Latin Quarter" and to-day, he will speak on the same subject at the Polytechnic Institute in Brooklyn. On November 30th, he will again lecture in Brooklyn, on "Le Theatre du Qire."

Dr. Delamarre will lecture in Baltimore this Saturday on "French Society after the Theatre."

Of Matters Musical.

This afternoon at four, Professor Baldwin will give a regular organ recital. Among the popular numbers will be Prelude in E flat by Bach, Kol Nidrei by Bruch, and Faulke's Sonata in A minor (new).

Next Wednesday afternoon, in honor of Ambassador Jusserand's visit to the college our Professor is arranging a program of modern French musical works.

Last week Professor Baldwin lectured on the "Fugue." He made elaborate analyses of the form and explained them in a most interesting manner. This week's lectures will concern the "Growth of Monadic Style."

The Mathematicians.

The annual meeting of the Association of Teachers of Mathematics of the Middle States and Maryland, will take place on December 3d and 4th at our college. The main meeting will be held in Room 126. Professor Le Gras is a member of the Council and all who are interested in the organization and in the teaching of mathematics are cordially invited to attend.

High School Items.

Professor Mead would like to meet the former students of Boys' High School on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, in Room 128.

Last Wednesday, a delegation of students from the Manual Training High School of Brooklyn, visited the college under the guidance of Professor Fox. It is very probable that there will be instituted a general High School Day which will be celebrated sometime in May.

Another Gift

Professor Downer has presented to the Political Science Library a complete ten volume set of the works of Henry George.

"Deke" Convention.

Winfred C. Allen, '10, represented the local chapter at the sixty-third annual convention of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, which was held at Philadelphia, on November 10th, 11th and 12.

ATHLETICS.

1912-28; 1913-17.

On Thursday last, the Sophs. wrapped themselves in a victory banner and thus mantled, romped away with the annual Freshman-Sophomore fall track meet. Joe Dolan clinched the triumph for 1912 by breaking the College mile record with a time of 4.48 as against the previous record of 4.49 1-5 made by Frank in 1906. The summaries :

880 yard run-Won by T. A. Dolan, 1912; F. Sullivan, 1913, second; S. Reichard, 1912, third. Time 2 minutes 1 seconds.

220 yard dash-Won by S. Bogen, 1913; D. Feigus, 1912, second; H. Levy, 1912, third. Time, 24 seconds.

One mile run-Won by T. A. Dolan, 1912; M. Cohen, 1912, second; E. T. Frankel, 1912, third. Time, 4 min48 seconds.

440 yard dash--Won by S. Reichard, 1912; T. A. Dolan, 1912, second; I. Miller, 1913, third. Time, 56 seconds.

100 yard dash-Won by S. Louis, 1913; D. Bogen, 1913, second; D. Feigus, 1912, third. Time, 11 seconds.

Soccer.

The A. A. has sanctioned inter-class soccer. A plea was made for a varsity team, but it was the general opinion that the inter-class competitions would be better appreciated by the students at large. Borookov '12 has been appointed to conduct the series, and he urges on all class athletic managers to get their teams out, as upon the success of the series depends the future of varsity soccer. The same requirements hold here as in all other inter-class athletic contests. Likewise, an appropriate banner will be given to the winning class. The schedule follows:

Tuesday, Nov. 23-1910 vs. 1911
