The total income from the intercol-

reach 500, 600, and may probably go
beyond that figure. The total expenses
will in all likelihood reach two or three
times what they were in the last sea-

with Yale-that is. in 1898. AS yet
the accounts have not been balanced.
No man can say to a cent what the
total expenses were 1t looks now,
however, as If the bills would reach
$4,000, as against SIS, 900 in 1908
when all the accounts are in. They
may slightly exceed that figure.
That no action will be taken towards
full disposition of football at Har-

used, however, has been devoted main
ly to the Improvement of Soldiers

Book Dates Back to 1909.

What is believed by ~antiquarians to
be the oldest paper book in existence
is the RED Book of Lynn" an ancient
register belonging to the corporation
of Kings Lynn, England. This vol,
ume is known as the Red Book
from its original binding having been
of that color. The first entry is a
transcript of the viii of Peter de
T%horndon, burgess of Lynn, dated
1909; the latest entry is dated in the
18th year of King Richard II. Fifty
years ago the book was repaired and
rebound, and the leaves, which age
had reduced TO a loose, fbrous sub
stance, we're carefully resized as an
aid to preservation.
