handed down May End, commanding
the board to reassemble June 18TH, and
assess these corporations in accordance
with the rules of the board in regard to

the board not only neglected to make
the assessment, but repealed the rules
of the board on the subject which has
been in force for thirty years and had
been sustained by the United States
Supreme Court as the only fair and le

MOODBERRY ON ATHLETES.

Prof. George Edward Woodberry,
head of the departing of compare
tive literature at Columbia UniVer-
.sity, and chairman of the Faculty
Committee on Athletics, surprised
his classes recently by lecturing on
intercollegiate athletics instead OF
his regular course in nineteenth
century literature. The occasion Of
this departure was Prof Woodber-
rvs receipt of the memorial volume
prepared at Harvard in honor Of
Marshall Newell, her late distin-
guished oarsman and football player,
The professor lauded pure inter
collegiate sport and said in part
The college man is fed with in
tellectuaI life for four years and is
trained in books so much that there
is apt to be a, tendency to overesti-
mate book learning. IT he succeeds
in after life tits rather on account
lot a peculiar and personal genius
or bent than on account of what he
has learned in books. What college
life does is to breed patrio tism and
loyalty, and the devotion to athlet-
icsfurnishes the readiest expression
of this spirit. Athletics lend power
in training, cultivate self control
and the daily habit Of doing things.
It's perhaps easier to study as far
as the strain on character is con
cerned than to train. for athletics.
| The athlete has to learn to keep a
steady deneanor and maintain ex-
ternal character in victory and de-
feat. '
Prof. Wood berry spoke Of Marshall
Newell of Harvard and Herbert
Mapes Of Columbia as noble types
Eof the college athletes. He dWelt
Ion the students satisfaction in sup
porting a team and feeling that it is
