The Death OF ELI whitney Blake In
Hampton, Conn.

The first meeting of the 1896 Liber
board was held yesterday for the purpose
OF organization. The following officers
were chosen: Editor-in-chief, b. 3
Flagg; business manager, John S. Ed
wards; managing editor, Allison stone;
8. Phillips. Mr.. Edwards has already
opened negotiations for the publication
OF the '96 Liber. which will far surpass
that OF any previous edition. Heretofore
the contract for the entire publication
has been sub-let, but this year IL is the
purpose OF the management TO keep 1t
wholly in the hands of the student board,
thus making it distinctly college an
nual and using the contractors' profits
In enlarging and improving the book.
Again the college is called upon to
mourn the departure OF one of her most
distinguished professors. About two
years ago ex-President Ezekiel Robinson
passed away; little more than a year
ago Professor jerks was called from our
ranks while performing his duties, and
now the intelligence has reached us of
the death of Eli Whitney Blake, LII d.,
which occurred yesterday morning at
Hampton, Conn. Professor Blake re-
NAMED in the service of Brown University
almost TO the end of his life, for ii was
only in June last that bis resignation
from the chair Of physics took effect
The Bixby Silver Company has gener-
ously offered the Brown University Foot
ball Association silver loving cup, to
be presented TO the champion team of
the Interscholastic Football League for
this year. The cup is made Of sterling
silver and is beautifully designed. On
the back is etched "Interscholastic Foot
ball Cup" On the bottom is engraved in
small letters, presented to Brown Uni
versity Football Association by the Bixby
Silver Company The front is ornament
nd xn-ff h hap al D.,
in which the name OF the winning team
will be inscribed.
The first meeting Of the Press Club was
held last evening. A paper was presented
by Mr.. Gallup on the important occur
rences throughout the world during the
summer months. Professor Lamont
then favored the club with brief ad
dress on "The Actual Work OF a News
paper Office and the Training for It.. Z"
The necessary requirements must be in
the way OF getting news and OF putting IL
into readable shape, and the successful
n newspaper man should possess good
health, temperance, memory, the power
TO quickly observe and sssimilate news,
and an accurate expression. In all of
these ways, he said, the college man
might be far ahead of all Others as the
result OF his training in these very lines.
The Varsity eleven and substitutes left
for New Haven this morning TO play the
second game of the season. There seemed
to be a general sentiment on the hill this
morning that Brown would score, but that
is hardly to be expected as Yale has been
scored against only once in six or seven
years. The line up of the Brown team
will be: Dennison, left end; Emory, left
tackle; Thayer, lett guard; Coombs, cen
ter; smith, right guard Mott. right tackle,
Murphy, right end; Matteson, quarter
back; Robinson, left halfback; Colby,
Watson, Hall, righthalf backs; Mccarthy,
full back. Casey and Wheeler will also
accompany the team as substitutes. The
lineup of the Yale eleven will probably
be the same as in last Saturdays game
with Trinity.
