freshman game with Berkeley, and as result
IL manages even at this early date TO give the
teams OF the older class decidedly respectable

For some time there has existed general'dis-
satisfaction with the manner in which athletics
have been carried on here. This dissatisfaction
terminated In mass meeting several days ago,
and various college systems were discussed by
which a better state OF athletics mlgnt De Sc
cured, financially and otherwise. The Harvard
system of managing athletic matters seems TO
be the fayorite system among students mere,
and 1t Is not Improbable that that system may
be the model from which Stanford Will soon
work out suitable system tor herself At The
masS-meetlng 1t was decided that member OF
the faculty, associated with committee of stu

new athletic association. Professor u. NJ.
Richardson and the rest of the committee are
now hard al work on such document.
The tennis tournament which commenced on
the last day OF September is just being finished,
Some very pretty matches have been played.
Bumiller, Morton, Schneider ana Packard have
put up the best matches. The result OF the

University in the intercollegiate tournament.
Stanford's band has for the past year or more
been one OF the prideS OF the university. Last
praisewOrthy feature with its forty or more
pieces. This year. under The leadership OF A.
Il. Kaufman, the band is better in all respects
than ever before. The band is now making
preparations TO attend the big football game to
dispense music during the game. There will
be between fifty and sixty Instruments and, as
there are some hrSt-clasS SolOiSLS among the
members of the band. IL is sure to make a good
impression on that day. Friday evening the
band gave the first of its promenade concerts,
which was highly creditable in every way.
The Latin department OF this college. under
Professors Miller and Pease, has been enriched
by the receiva from Germany OF over 1000 dis

other collection on these subjects III any of the
university libraries OF America. S. Il. o.
