Parade Made Contrary 10 Traditions
Of Fifty Years.
PITCHED BATTLE IN THE STREETS
As Result. One Man IL Ih-
conscious and May Die, ana

PRINCETON. n. j.. May 1j.-Princeton
students and Pawnee Bits "Wild West"
employees INDUCED in a pitched battle
here to-day, and continuous and serious
rioting was prevented only by the pres
ence Of men with cool heads, and the ac-
ton Of President Patton, of Princeton
University later i'm the day, in calling
mass-meeting Of all Of the students.
For fifty years It had been an unwrit-
ten law of Princeton that no circus pa
rade should pass through the streets.
Every show-proprietor, in making his
dates. had always left Princeton from
the list for it had been a matter Of COM
mon knowledge that the students would
enforce the unwritten law.
This morning Pawnee Bits Wild West
combination violated traditions and pa
raded. The result was the fiercest battle
princeton has seen in many years.
WILD WEST DARING.
When posters were hung up a few days
ago announcing the advent of Pawnee
Bill. it was at first considered joke.
Finally. when it became known that the
management of the show was really in
earnest the town authorities, fearing
trouble. advised the circus-men not to at
tempt a parade This advice was unheed-
ed.
As a result Of to-day's fight, one man
is unconscious and may die, and num-
Der Of students and employees Of the
show are nursing wounds received in the
fray.
SHOW FROZEN OUT.
That the show would be upset at night
seemed a certainty until late this after
noon. when President Patton called a
mass-meeting of all the undergraduates
and the faculty. and the result Of the
meeting indicates that the show will leave
town unmolested. but it will haFe lost
money. for word has been passed through
the town that no one is TO enter the tent,
and the townspeople, who are In sympa-
thy with the students are a unit in re-
fusing To attend.

ALUMNI AT BANQUET.
Brilliant Function Held at the Mer-
chants Club-The Guests.

The Alumni Association of the Univer-
sity of California gave its annual ban
quet last night in the rooms of the Mer-
chants Club The affair was in every
sense a decided success. The members
to the number of seventy sat down at a
dozen round tables and with them were
as honored guests President Martin KEEL
lOgg, Professor Joseph LIE Conte and DR..
George c. Pardee 70. Louis de f. Bart
lett % presided over the feast in the place
of DR.. A. A. d'Ancona, who was called
away. The discussion of an elaborate
menu was enlivened by the rendition of
college songs and yells and enjoyment
was the order of the night.
The gathering had double significance
for aside from the social feature which
characterizes the annual reunion of those
who have been educated under the foster
ing care of the university the occasion
will ever be memorable because it signal

President Kellogg was the first to re-
spond to university Growth. He took
the stand that a university that has no
reputation cannot grow.
"The different factors, he said, which
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-05-17

operate in the growth of a university in
clude the regents, faculty, students,
alumni and the benefactors. The regents
are the arbiters to whom everything can
be appealed and by whom everything is
set right. If there is to be great univer-
sity the faculty must be men who vii wi
attract attention by their success in fill
ing the chairs of instruction. The fac
ulty must be harmonious and not allow
dissensions to diminish its power for
good.
Much depends on the body of students
which is an active factor. We have d
good body of students and we are proud
of it. AS they begin to form part of the
alumni they become in some sense its
chief strength and most reliable element.
The generous benefactors must not be
omitted in the enumeration of the forces
that assist in the growth of the uniVer-
sity. We must not overlook the name of
that lady who is now a member of the
board of regents, Mrs. Hearst, and others
who have given substantial help. There
should be closer union between the al
umni and the outside benefactor."
DIR. Pardee replied to THE Regent AL
umni' Il am not prepared to say said
he, whether it is for the best interests
of the university to have its governing
body entirely composed of alumni We
have now in the regents four of our al

is safe in the hands of these men. hope

be too much education if it is of the right
sort. Educate not only the head but the
hand and we will no longer have our mil
lionaires prociaiming against a man hav-
ing an education.
On THE University of Political Re
form Professor lie Conte said The
aim of the university should be to ele-
vate the general tone of politics and raise
it from a trade to a profession. The time
will come when political conditions will
be on a more liberal and honorable basis,
and the university is the influence that
will bring it about.

racer, w. J. Bryan:
A Kenuckian who is visiting the city
tells this story of the impression made
by the Boy Orator in Louisville.
Louisville. as you know, is one of the
greatest tanning centres of the world" he
said. The day after William Jennings
Bryan was in Louisville was riding in a
street car, when passenger boarded the
car and sat down next to me. He had the
solid, robust look and dress of a cross be-
tween a German-Amercan manufacturer
and lanyard laborer. The smell of the
lanyard was all over and all about him.
He spied an old friend sitting just oppo-
site him in the car.
"Didyou hear Bryan" asked the friend.
81 did, said the tanner.
"What do you think of him?" said the
friend.
"'Vell, said the tanner, there ISIS only

should wear it. But, il you are what we

we can go. Otherwise, we shall try lone
