New York, Dec. 22-The remarkable specta-

from the faculty's refusal to permit football and
other intercollegiate competitions. More than
1900 students gathered in body and Kissed
President Butler, hooted members of the faculty
and half -masted the university flag.
The underclass cane sprees were made occa-
sion for this expression of dsapproval unprece-
dented in college annals. Gathered in the uni
versity gymnasium, the army of students, rep
resenting all classes and departments of the
college, were confronted by several members of
the faculty, when someone started the cry,
1--WE want football" ."~
Instantly this was taken up and repeated in
a rolling cheer for more than five minutes. Then
a voice proposed cheer for President Butler.
At once uprOar of Kisses broke forth that
were twice as long as the cries for football. At
a given signal a group of about thirty started
a cry of ''To hell with Butler This was
taken up by hundred more.
