The tug of war was of ten minutes dura tion. the rules being that the side gaining three feet of rope first or hay l ing the advantage of distance at the i end of that time should win.

Considering the strong wind, the above time is not so bad. as the breeze caused at least q half-second loss in the 100 yards. The school record for 100 yards-1O 2-5 seconds-was made by John Young (deceased) and Moorse. Five and two-fifths is the 50-yard rec ord. which still stands to be beaten. l It is held by G. M.

These classes are getting to be so large now that it is somewhat of q task upon host, but it is needless to say that the burden was lightly car ried and the students always thorough i ly enjoyed themselves. The Boys | Do:mitory association gave another Of | their delightful social hops in assembly hail on Friday evening last, at which there was goodly attendance and much joy was spread abroad.
 Before assembly We have listened to the reading of the following essays: Carlyle" by Miss Murphy; "MacaUl- lay as a Man" by Miss Tompkirs: Waiter Damrosch's Lecture on Music at Berkley," by Miss LeBarce, and The Modern Novel" by Miss Parrott- The new colors, silver and blue. nav ing been adopted as the official colors of the university, ii became necessary to select pin of these colors to serve as 9 college pin, consequently singiy pointed penant of blue field bearing the word Arizona in white enamel trans | Versing the center will hereafter sy;l- belize the University of Arizona.
 An oratorical contest has been ar ranged for. to take place during com mercement week in which the faculty will give medals to the person of the prep department having the best l recitation, and he of the college deliv- ering the best original oratio1.

 The last issue of the Arizona Month ly is out and can be htd by DDiying to the manager or q copy of the same can be seen at the Phoe iN ch1mber of commerce rooms. The journal contains some interesting historical articles IS well as current university news. In fact the last few issues have been teeming with articles bearing on Ari- Zona's history which are good to keep. We have as yet in this territory no systematic record of the events of pub lie interest in the territory before the advent of the newspaper and this is a field open to some future legislative body that is to provide means and give someone the authority to collect mat ter pertaining to the early history of the territory to be left as public record.
 The largest class ever sent out by this institution will be graduated in the coming June and consists of Miss Brown. Tucson. English and history; Miss Smith. Tucson. in the same course: Miss Parrott, Oregon. the same course: Mr. Blumencranz of Kansas, MT. Haynes of Sacaton. Mr. Riley of New York City, MT. Wakefield of Tue son and MT. Smith of Phoenix, bachelor of science in mining. The thesis Of those in the last department will all deal with either a chemical subject or one on engineering.
