The Harvard second nine will play
the University Of Maine team on
Alumni field, at $50 Thursday after
noon. This promises to be fast game
as the Harvard team, although sec
ond nine is considered nearly as strong
as the first. 1t Is interesting to note
that Phillips Andover won from the
Harvard second, while the Andover
boys were easily beaten on their home
grounds by the University of Maine
team.
Much interest Is being manifested In
the Maine Bowdoin game which Is to be
played at Maplewood park, Bangor, May
81 This game is down on the schedule
as an exhibition game.
The first game this season with Bow
doin proved an easy victory for u. of M.
to ], the visitors only scoring on an err
ror of Maine. The second game, which
was played on the Bowdoin diamond, end
ed with a score of s to 3 in favor of Bow
foin. This last game Is considered as
rather unsatisfactory. In view of this
dissatisfaction It Is thought that another
game will be arranged for during the first
part OF June, as was given in the Mon
day edition of the Journal.

Replies that have already been receiv-
ed In response to the preliminary an
nouncements Indicate that the plan to
hold at the University Of Maine a sum
mer term meets with hearty approval. 1r
this summer term the instruction will be
given by college professors each of whom
Is a trained specialist In his department
many OF the courses that are offered arr
such that they may be counted toward q
college degree. All OF the instructors
have had experience In the common and
the secondary schools as well as In col
Iege.
Several of the leading colleges of the
country are holding such schools anj
their attendance Is increasing year by
year II would seem that the University
of Maine offers a more desirable place
for such summer study than can any col
lege that Is located in a city. There ar.
offered at the present three courses IL
history. three in English and German
two In French. two in mathematics. ont
in astronomy. three In physics and on'
in botany. IL there should be a greater
demand for other studies than these nam
ed. arrangements will be made to Civ
such courses so far as is possible.
