T. H. H. Wins Championship.

Urged on by a band of lusty lunged rooters, T. H. H. just 'swam away" with the P. S. A. L. swimming championship last Saturday at the Sportsman's Show. Out of four events, Townsend Harris took first place in three and second place in the fourth. Davis, Kohn and and Rogers won the 50, 100 and 220-yard swims respectively without any great effort. But the relay, which was the last event on the program, found our men rather tired from their previous efforts, and it is on that account that T. H. H. got only second place and at that less than a foot behind the winner.

The summaries :

50-yard swim-Hartford Davis, T. H. H.; M. Thompson, Commerce; D. Deffaa, Clinton. Time 30 s.

100-yard swim-Norman Kohn, T. H. H.; E. Dietrich, Erasmus; W. Richards, Clinton. Time 1 m. 14 s. 200-yard swim-H. W. Rogers, T. H. H.; L. Aldrich, Clinton: M. Agramonte, Commerce. Time, 3 m. 3 s.

200-yard relay Commerce (with Purcell, Rhoes, Kernell and Thompson); Townsend Harris Hall (with Rogers, Coons, Kohn and Davis); Erasmus Hall (with Hutlinger, Dietrich, P. Southerland and F. Southerland). Score in points-T. H. H., 18; Commerce, 9; Clinton 5 and Erasmus, 4.

Indoor base ball practice in the subway will not be resumed this week, as the battery candidates have broken too many windows. It is hoped that the weather will be suitable for outdoor work on Jasper Field. In addition to five veterans, Coach Newton reports several promising new men. Nagle, a lanky youth from the Bronx lots, shows great form for the outfield. Schaefer, a heavyweight slugger and Schweder, a new recruit to the pitching staff, are the most prominent. Great concern is expressed for the catching department, as no first-class man has as yet appeared. Efforts are being made to develop "Bunny" Rhoades to do the receiving.

A. A. Council Meeting.

A meeting of the A. A. Council took place on February 23d, in Room 113. A Committee on Finance, consisting of Dr. Newton, Mr. McClelland, J. Meier and R. Farrell was appointed for the purpose of apportioning the money required by the several teams. The report of the Committee on Letters was received, and the following men were awarded letters.

"H. B. B." for basket ball-Kostick, Mackler, Harber, Schulman, Wolff, Ellner and Manager Waters. As Ampolsk received his letter last year, he was awarded an honorary letter this season.

"H." for track-Hyman, Von Bronin, J. S Cohen, Richter, Story and Weg. Hajek and Wright, having won letters last season were also awarded honorary letters.

The P. S. A. L. will again hold a tennis tournament. Those who remember the splendid showing made by last year's team, most of whom are still in school, predict another championship for T. H. H.

Although most of last year's lacrosse team is still in school, there is still a fine chance for newcomers to make the team. Report Friday afternoon at the lot in front of the Mechanical Arts Building, whether you know the game or not.

The Secretaryship of the A. A. is open. Apply at Room 6 (the A. A. office), for information.

MARCH 10, 1909.

In Honor of Cleveland.

No. 4

EMORIAL exercises in honor of Grover
Cleveland will be held in our Great Hall
on the evening of March 18th. President
Taft is to be among the large number of
distinguished men who will attend. Gov-
ernor Hughes, Senator Root and Judge.
Gray will speak on tribute to the memory
of Cleveland and Mayor McClellan will act
as presiding officers. The music will rival

that rendered at our Lincoln Centennial Exercise last month. There is to be instrumental music by the Philharmonic Orchestra and vocal music by the United Singers of New York. Mme. Rider Kelsey will render a solo.

Besides these public exercises in the Great Hall, the Student Council has under consideration plans for a special meeting of the student body in the Hall below. It is expected that President Taft, who will not address the public gathering in the Great Hall, may say a few words to the students. Brief addresses may also be delivered by some of the speakers of the evening and by some of the students themselves. In this way, the college will have an opportunity to join as a body in the tribute to Grover Cleveland.

TO-DAY.

At 1 P. M. to-day the entire Student Body will assemble in the Great Hall. A matter of special interest will be presented. It is expected that Mr. Everett P. Wheeler will be one of the speakers. President Finley is to preside.

Senior Society.

A most cordial invitation is extended to all Seniors to be present at a social gathering to be held to-day at 3.00 P. M. in the Faculty Reception Rooms. It is the intention of the Society to hold at least two more socials: this semester and judging from previous affairs they will be well worth while. A week ago Tuesday the Society was reorganized and the following officers elected: Alfred J. Silberstein, president; George Diggles, corresponding secretary; and Arthur Schatteles, treasurer. Robert Steps was elected a member of the Executive Board. The other offices are open to Lower Seniors; the positions are: vice-president, recording secretary, and representative on the Executive Board. The position of historian is to be filled by a member of either the upper or lower divisions of the Class. A course of interesting lectures is being arranged and will be announced within a few days. At the gathering this afternoon a number of professors will be present and a very pleasant time is anticipated.

A Tale Out of School.

Commenting on the rumors associating the name of our Chief Executive with the Presidency of the University of Michigan, an editorial in a recent issue of School, has this to say:

"Dr. Finley's place is in the Presidency of the College of the City of New York. New York has become acquainted with President Finley and ranks him as one of her foremost citizens and speakers. No change is now desired in the Presidency of the College. The plans for its development would arouse a protest. The establishment of a night college next fall will supplement the work of the evening schools, and New York will, therefore, have a great machine, working day and night for the making of American citizens. The future of the College seems to lie within its power to adapt itself to the needs of this metropolis in preparing young men for their life's work after leaving College, rather than through the developing of graduate schools. In this field, the clearing house of America, the 'firing line of the country, President Finley has no superior and his opportunity is unique."
