Although the wooden stands at the Stadium have been made larger than ever before this year, and as a consequence have been placed three yards farther back, yet their occupants will be nearer the field of play than in the past, for the gridiron has been moved five yards nearer.

Miss George, explaining her offer yesterday, said, "Although I make the offer generally, I expect the keenest response from the larger universities where dramatic departments are already established.

At the meeting considering the question of a larger armament for the United States the discussion was very even, the final count resulting in a tie. Other subjects considered during the year were the causes of the European war, President Wilson's administration, the participation of members of the University in summer military camps, and the serving of beer at class functions...
