COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY

The freshman OF the law department
at Columbian University are a happy lot

upon their mortal foes. the sophonores.

other things which might be in the way.
Waiting for the Enemy.
In anticipation of an encounter the
freshies went to the hall prepared for
stubborn resistance. and were on the
alert for the approach Of the enemy.

strength. About one hundred members
of the class were present. while tne
second-vear boys numbered only about
twenty-five.
After the regular evening lecture the
fresbies undertook to open their meet
inc in the hall. A "Sampsonian" youth
with Drawn like blacksmith ana an ap,
narent relish for "sophs" was stationed
at the door as sergeant-at-arms. But

wear disciple Of Blackstone was en-.
deayorinp to force his way into the nall
where the "freshies" lay in wait, .when
Justice Harlan. towering six feet SIX IN
height, appeared upon the scene.
..Stop this: stop this at once, or III
have you all arrested" shouted the big
kentucky iurist. His stentorian tones
caused a momentary lull in the siege,
for Justice Harlan spoke as one with
authority.
Justice Harlan Takes Hand.
In that moment when the "freshies
were thrown off their guard and the
sergeant arms had retired from his
post Of duty. the 'sophs,' disregarding
the command of the jurist, made an
other charge. It's effect was counteracted
by Justice Harlan reaching over the
heads of the besieging party and sefzing
the leader by the coat collar, dragging
him back and twirling him about, much
as q bandmaster twirls his baton. This
was Justice Harlan's first step In the
matter of compulsory arbitration.
The youth protested, but found him
self as helpless as babe by this ply
sical restraining order of the court. In
characteristic language his honor di-
rected the 'sophs" to disperse, and the
Injunction was obeyed. He then gave
direction to the freshmen that they
should proceed to the hall in the main
building, guaranteeing that their meet
ing would not be disturbed
The boys marched out of the hall and
around the corner. hoping that their an
tagonists would disregard the orders of
the court and renew the attack. The
"sophs," however, scattered In disorder,
amid the jeers of their juniors, who ac
cused them OF cowardice. The 'sophs"
will not admit that they met with a
reverse, alleging that they were only
prevented from breaking up the meet
ing by the compulsory arbitration plan
OF Justice Harlan. 1t is not improbable
that they may at future date attempt
to engage the ''freshies" in battle.

plenty Of enthusiasm and school spirit,
and the boys are a determined looking
lot of fellows.
Rejoicing runs high In the school at
present on account of the announce
ment OF the list of officers for the COM
! panies. The pupils are we'll satisfied

The students of Central. as we'll as
the other high schools. are now anx-
iously awaiting the announcement of the
regimental officers for the year. Great
interest centers about the probable colo
mel and lieutenant colonel The names
of these officers will probably be given
out In the near future.
The Cross Country Club. which has
been fourishing this year. has held
number of exciting runs In the course
of the past two or three weeks. The
most recent run of any consequence was
held q few days ago. The boys started
at Takoma Park and ran north about
four miles.
Athletics Well in Hand.
While football seems to be the thing
at Central, the boys who are interested
in track sports are by no means idle.
They have already begun to train.
Mr.. W. H. Foley, the adviser of ath-
letics, In speaking OF the training of
high school boys a few days ago. said:

where he started the ball rolling by

But then, they always said they knew

They are likewise wondering how he
ever allowed himself to be separated
from Offutt.
Ernest Draper is at Amherst. Reports
that have drifted back to town say that
he is doing finely.
Won Athletic Scholarship.
Paul Mackall won the athletic scholar
ship at Lehigh. thereby proving that the

athletes as we'll as students. The boys
are particularly pleased to hear of
Paul's good fortune, and hope that he
will build up frst-rate record.
Kenneth Bush is now "plebe" at the
Annapolis Naval Academy. where he is
said to be getting along we'll. Several
other men now at Western are also try

w AND ITS HAPPENINGS

The principal topic of interest at the
Western High School at present is the
appointment of the officers for Com
pany H. The announcement Of the sue
cessful candidates for positions was
made early in the week. On the whole,
the list is just about what was expected.
and the pupils are greatly gratified to
know that the general selection is what
they had hoped for.
The roster of officers is as follows:
Captain, John Stokes; first lieutenant,
e. P. Hulse; second lieutenant, John
Rhoades: first sergeant. Edmond Comp
ston; second sergeant Seward Rathbone !;
third sergeant. William Taylor; fourth
sergeant, Herbert Dunlap: fifth SER
geant, Richard D. Hunt: corporals,
Clark. Kirby. McIntirffe, and Ball
Battalion quartermaster. with the rank
of first lieutenant. Wilfred Roach.
Compulsory Grand Opera.
1t is said that owing to the vocal
ability displayed at the latter part Of
last year by that remarkable aggregation
of students known as Drum Hunts
Male Quartet" music for the boys who
attend the Western has been made COM
pulsory. OF course. It may be that
Hunts efforts had nothing whatever TO
do with the establishment OF compulsory
singing classes. but the majority of the
pupils are of an entirely different opin-
ion. Hunt has failed, so far this year,
to revive his quartet" which. by the
way. was not quartet at all. as it con-
sisted of nearly forty students. all OF
whom sang different song In as nearly
different key as possible.
Girls physics are becoming popular in
the school at present. The young ladies'
have organized several very promising
classes.
The boys at the Western lament the
fact that one of their number has be-
come the only boy member of class
in economics that contains twenty girls.
They are of the opinion that twenty to
one is not fair. or at least not to the
other fellows who do not study econo-
mics.

STUDENT MASQUER4DES AS GIRL
INSANE COLUMBIA MAN APPEARS on

FEMININE ATTIRE.

Nelson c. Martin. a first year man at the
Columbia University Law School, became tenn
porarily insane on Wednesday, and after aston
ishing his fellow dodgers at the university apart
ments that night, created a sensation among the
students al large on Thursday by appearing on
the campus in girls dresses and by running on
the track in the gymnasium in wOman's under
clothing.
Martin comes from Cheshire. Mass. and
Was formerly student at Dartmouth. where
he showed many eccentricities earning him
the name OF Freak" Martin. On Wednes-
day evening Martin appeared at the supper table
in complete female attire. He did not like his
own seat. but persisted in remaining by one of
the women boarders.
Then early Thursday morning a white
robed figure in woman's garments, with long
hair flying out behind. raced around the college
running track on South Field. Observed by
several hundred of the Morningside students.
the figure finally disappeared as mysteriously as
il had arrived. At first il was thought TO be
some Barnard girl but the ease and freedom OF
the runners stride contradicted this belief.
AT D. m. on Thursday. while many men were
dressing in the gymnasium. they were scattered
by the sudden appearance of a girl dressed in
becoming blue. with long hair hanging in curls
about the shoulders. She said. Don't be afraid

She then ran a few laps on the track The gir

however, he insisted on dressing, and asked one
