BETTER Than Haxing.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

u
The Students Association of the Won IN :
Medical College of Pennsylvania will give
a large reception to the freshman class on
Saturday. Nov. 10, at o'clock. This may
be regarded as substitute for the old col
legiate custom of hazing the freshmen.
These fair medical students receive the
freshman or freshwoman class with the
right hand of fellowship, giving them a re-
ception and introducing each member right
and left This year the freshman class is
much larger than that of 1908, and in num-
bers nearly doubling the class OF recent
years
Students of the college now come to 1t as
girls fresh from graduation studies in other
colleges accidentally This is a great gain
in general preparedness. while bringing to
these freshmen the enthusiasm OF youth.
This is a contrast to the days when mature,
and oftentimes wearied, teachers took up
the study of medicine as a business re-
source. 1t is pleasant to notice that the
youthful spirits in the Womans Medical
College have such a fine sense of courtesy
as these students receptions make mani
fest.

Some three years ago a ship called
the Andrada turned turtle in Tacoma
harbor and went to the bottom in eighty
fathoms of water" observed Mr.. s. s..
Thornton, of Tacoma. Wash, yesterday.
There have been numerous efforts to
raise the vessel. which probably turned
over because of lack of ballast, but lately
all these have been abandoned. First the
underwriters tried to attach steel cables
to the Andrada, but this failed. Later a
special apparatus, depending upon inflated
water bags, was tried. but that trial re-
suited in the drowning of a man.
1.-The harbor at Tacoma is splendid
one but the trouble is that there is not
sufficient docking room, and, after YES
sells have unloaded, they must pull out
into the harbor and anchor to buoys at
tached TO the shore by steel chains. There
is a project for deepening the channel Of
the Puyallup river through the shallow
tide flats, which woulo give plenty of
dock room and make Tacoma one of the
best harbors in the country"
