Biological Lecture. This afternoon, at one o'clock in Room 315, Professor Osburn of Columbia University will deliver a lecture on the "Bryozoa." Professor Osburn is the U. S. Government expert in the Bureau of Fisheries, and is the highest authority on the subject. He is also Professor of Zoology at Columbia. The lecture will be illustrated by stereoptican slides. The 1910 "Strollers' Club" is anxiously waiting for real Spring weather to carry out its schedule of "tramps." Last year's walks, under the leadership of Messrs. Smerling and Katz, proved a source of pleasure and enjoyment to all members. On March 6, Prof. Chas. G. Downer addressed the Société Nationale des Professeurs Francais en Amérique on the subject "The Acquisition of a Foreign Language." On March 26, 1909, in the Doremus Hall, Mr. Harland S. Miner, Chemist to the Welsbach Lighting Company, will speak on "The Manufacture of Incandescent Light Mantels." The English Club held a dinner at Ardin's Restaurant last Monday evening, Mr. McClelland presiding. Mr. Tannenbaum, a graduate of the College spoke regarding the organization of a Shakespearian Society. Mr. Otis delivered a most interesting lecture on “Early American Verse." There was a general discussion on the suggestion of Mr. Keiley that the Department undertake the production of an Elizabethan drama by the students. Among the new appointments are Mr. White, to the Department of History; Mr. Keleher, to the Department of English and Mr. Chinard, to the French Department. The Seniors and the Freshmen, with an eye to art, have taken the initiative in decorating their alcoves. We have high hopes of seeing our concourse a miniature art-gallery. The New Civic Club Movement. Men interested in forming a Civic Club in this College, which should affiliate with the Intercollegiate Civic League, held a meeting last Wednesday at 3 P. M. Dr. Sait of the Intercollegiate Civic Club, addressed the men and urged them to act as soon as possible. A committee of five, with Mr. Abraham Willard as Chairman, was chosen to arrange plans for an organization meeting to be held this afternoon in Room 306.

H. H. NEWS. FRED S. BAILEY, Correspondent. Swimming. T. H. H., 15; Newark, Y. M. C. A., 35., Confident of an easy victory, our swimming team travelled to Newark on Friday to meet the local Y. M. C. A. But they reckoned without their host, for they were ignorant of the fact that the meet would be held in a tank only forty feet long and that R. Smith of the local team is a coming worldbeater. We have some satisfaction in knowing that we were beaten by a "one-man" team, and there certainly is no disgrace in being beaten by as splendid a swimmer as we have yet seen. The ease with which R. Smith negotiated the 100-yard swim in that small tank in 27 seconds is nothing short of marvellous, and his phenomenal time of 1 minute and 4 seconds in the 100-yard event is still more surprising. He is said to have equalled Daniel's best time for the last-mentioned distance. Our own team made a splendid fight and we have yet to hear of another school-boy team which would have done as well. The surprise of the evening was afforded in the 200-yard event when Captain Davis romped in ahead of the field and our usually unbeatable Rogers finished a poor third. The summaries : 25-Yard Swim R.

S. at Staten Island. About 300 of the "faithful" were present at Wednesday's mass meeting, but what was lacking in numbers was more than made up in enthusiasm. As usual, the chief topic of the occasion was the hackneyed one of "money," but let us hope that the talks by Messrs. Galway and McClelland impressed those present sufficient to arouse them to action. The keynote of the meeting was stuck by Donoghue when he said, "Now is the time for us to jump on the financial car of the A. A., which is plunging down hill to the precipice of bankruptcy, turn it around and drive it up the hill to success and glory." Forty-five candidates have thus far entered their names for the Tennis Team. Under Mr. Galway's coaching we should turn out a championship team. The French Circle gladly receives new members at its meetings on Fridays in Room 116, as there are still several characters in the play to be filled. Any one interested in French should endeavor to be present at the meetings. W. Webster was appointed assistant swimming manager at the last A. A. council meeting. He will succeed Manager Rogers in June. 1 ALFRED EISSNER Dealer in IMPORTED AND DOMESTIC DELICATESSEN Between 140th and 141st Sts. 1634 AMSTERDAM AVE.
