brunswick, Me-. Feb. 14.-(speciaD.-
Work on the new Hubbard library
building has been resumed and
will go steadily forward until
the splendid structure is COM
pleted and ready for occupancy, next
September. Mr.. Ewell, the foreman,
arrived this week, with small crew
of men. Two furnaces are being in
stalled in the basement of the build
ing, and, heated by them and pro-
tected by the temporary roof, work.
men will be able to put in the terra
Gotta arches between the floors and
carry on other inside work until the
coming of spring allows outside work.
Stone has been arriving at the build
ing all winter, and there is conse-
quently so large a supply ahead that
last summers delays are not likely to
be repeated. For the present there is
but a small crew at work, but more
men will be added in a week or two.
President Hyde and Prof. Houghton
represented the college at the 34th
annual meeting and banquet of the
Boston alumni, this week. Over so
graduates of the college were present.
Two scholarships We're pledged at the
meeting for the aid of needy students.
The Advisory Athletic committee held
a special meeting this week, to consider
the letter recently received from Uni
versity of Maine inviting BowdOin to
send three representatives to a con-
ference in Waterville, some Saturday
this month, to discuss rules for athlet-
ic eligibility which it would be wise
for the colleges of Maine to unite in
enforcing, and to discuss the forma-
ton of a quadrangular league. The
committee decided to send the three
delegates, selecting for that purpose
Pratt, '01, Webb, OF, and a faculty
member to be announced later.
Recommendations were formulated in
regard to eligibility, and the delegates
advised to present sthem as probable
Bowdoin sentiment: The four years
rule and future restrictions on profess
sionalism were particularly included.
In regard to the league, it is the unan-
imous sentiment of the committee that
for the history of intercollegiate
iNoS oOo III liot OCCIl DIT oil
a happy one. Independent games
with the other colleges give all the ad-
vantages without the unpleasant
features of the league.
The Junior class held a meeting this
week with reference to their assem-
blies. 1t is the custom of the faculty
not to allow the junior class to hold
assemblies in Memorial hall, but this
year, contrary to custom the class was
granted permission by the faculty to
hold their first assembly there, which
occurred on Jan. "a. The affair was
a great success and as the students
had kept all the agreements made by
them to their faculty for the first as
sembly they asked permission to hold
another. The faculty at the meeting
this afternoon made this proposition
that they might hold the second as
sembly in Memorial hall if they would
agree to omit the third assembly. This
the students voted to do. So this
year there will be only two junior as
semblies instead of three as formerly.
The date of the third, which would
have occurred on March 31st, will be
taken by the Athletic association for
their indoor meet. The second as
sembly will probably be held on Fri
day, Feb. 21st.
Preparations for the indoor meet
are progressing rapidly. Most of the
drills have been learned and are now
being perfected and polished off. A
piano was placed in the gymnasium
this week to help matters along. The
Freshman drill with the Indian clubs,
which is considered one of the hardest
drills of the meet, has been shortened
this year from five sets to four, and
several of the more difficult move
ments have been simplified. The
Freshman class has not yet shown up
any wonders for the indoor meet, but
it has plenty of undeveloped material
Daniel Irving Gross, who won the
class of '6S, oratorical prize, Thurs

of the Quill, last year. and has won
some athletic renown as bicycle
rider The contestants for the '6S
prize are the six members of the Sem
Tor class selected by the faculty as the
best speakers and writer's of the class.
