Many Princeton undergraduates. including men

by the student was that the president had un-

II L understand President HarriS's request

Brown University, when asked his opinion, lit

students in almost every college who should go
TO certain social functions. and who cannot be-

possession OF a dress suit to-day is not always
indicative of station-it is somewhat OF a uni

prescribed by society. just uniforms are for
members or the army. 1t is quite likely. how
ever, that the report of the speech was some

Charles H. Kingman. president Of the senior

in public by a college president. but l know of
many cases where dress suits have been given

ought not to be bestowed without the require
ment OF labor from the students in return. This
expresses the policy that has been observed for
twenty years at New-York University, nor has
there ever been q hint Of Willingness on the
part of our students TO accept. gifts Of clothing"
Reginald Wesenrolh. leader or the New-York
University GIee Club, said: The proposition of
President Harris is a good one. I think. The
social functions given at college go far to pro-
mote college spirit. ard when a student is barred
from such affairs he is decidedly a loser. In
our own university there are men on the must
cal clubs who would be unable to take part

owning dress suits. for moment imagine that,
by giving the students cast-off dress suits, they
are putting them the same social plane as
those owning them? Would it not be better for
the faculty and those owning suits to dispense
with them at a college Junction."
More than a score OF the students expressed
the opinion that student at Lehigh or in any
other college would accept a dress suit secured
in the way President Harris suggested. AS one
OF the students put IL, mo borrowed plumes for

whether a student goes to college function in

attend it are men who evidently have a desire

President Harrts's appeal seems ridiculous. Over
half OF the 1900 students OF the university are

De. MACCRACKEN,s VIEWS.

Chancellor Henry NJ. MacCracken of the New
York University said Students had better do
without evening suits than accept gift of dress
clothes as a charity. At New-Yorl University
everything done for the students must be under
one of two rules. The first rule is that the
bestowal OF knowledge and instruction. which
is something not visible material, does not
pauperize any student. The second rule is that
the giving OF food clothes outright
charity does tend TO pauperlze the recipient
Therefore, It is far preferable that whatever is
done for students of a material kind should be
given in the form Of prizes and awarded COM

Der OF the senior class, and president of the

his official capacity he had never had any cloth

ne could find any to take it IL he had. Wes-
leyan men who were needy have too much pride
about them to accept such gifts. He added:
L think it very undignifed thing for Presi-
dent Harris to do, and I should think the stu
dent body would resent it keenly. I am sure
the Wesleyan undergraduate body would never
stand for such thing"
Howard b. Field, of East Hampton Conn.,
who is president Of the senior class, said: IF
Amherst is anything like Wesleyan there will
De spirit OF democracy there which will make
the needy students refuse to accept the cast-off
dress suits in which President Harris proposes
to array them. If he tries to foist any of his
cast-of toggery the real thing in the line of
college men he will butt up against something
pretty hard. If the other students knew a fell

charity they would lose respect for him. They
would sooner introduce him to a pretty girl, in
a sack coat which was his own, than in a dress
suit which was the cast-off garment of some
alumnus."
REGARDED AS JOKE At LEHIGH.
One professor Of Lehigh University, who
wished his name withheld, said he thought
President Harris's remarks were more or less
Of a joke. Regarding the general proposition,
however he said he thought it depended on the
individuals involved. If some personal friend
of a student should offer him a dress suit he
thought, it would be all right for him to accept
it. He did not think it a subject for public APP
peal to the alumni. however. They are in most
cases absolute strangers of the undergraduate
body" he said

There always seems to be a community of wear
ing apparel IN college circles, and articles are
borrowed right and left. If, as it seems, it is
true that man receives the larger part Of his
education from his association with other men,
he is handicapped by his inability to meet his
fellow students on the same level BY this plan
of President Harris men otherwise unable TO
mingle with other students could do so, and
thereby reap the benefits of social activities
Vincent Roberts. leader OF the Mandolin Club
of the university. says: This plan 10 a certain
extent has been in operation at the university
among the musical club men for several years
and has permitted many OF the self-supportng
students TO participate in social functions
whereas otherwise they would not have been
able to indul e in this branch OF college life"
G. c. Meade. manager of the gymnastic team
of the university said: There is one practical
objection 20 the plan. With few exceptions the
social functions in college cost considerable in
themselves and if q man IS not able 10 make the
initial outlay for n dress suit 1t is improbable
that he can afford 10 go to the various affairs
where the clothes would be necessary. On the
whole the plan is an admirable one If evening
clothes could be loaned in The same way that
drawing instruments and books are loaned at
present"

for the relief of periodic pains,

women so much suffering.
AS pain is weakening, and
leaves the system in an ex-

to suffer a moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on first in
dication of an attack.
If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as well as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable ter-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, chloral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.

greatly with spells OF backache. that
seem almost more than ! can endure.
