big university TO take this step and Is re-
sponsible for an innovation worthy OF emu-
lation on me part OF all colleges. The best
evidence of the practical working out Of this
new idea, Mr.. Pemberton says, may be seen
any spring morning at Franklin Field. when
the track, the baseball diamond and the rest
OF the field are covered with students engaged
in athletic practice This is indeed. as the
writer OF the letter says. a wonderful sight
to an -old grad" on revisiting Alma Mater.
To such an extent have the Pennsylva-
mans taken advantage OF this unusual oppOr-
tunity that. what with running. baseball.
soccer, lacrosse and the like. Franklin Field

registration at the university is the largest
in its history. The ipOe-O7 catalogue Is the
first to list more than 1000 students.
In connection with Mr.. Pemberton's propo-
sltion for development at the University OF
Pennsylvania IL Is interesting to note the
trend in a similar direction at other colleges.
AT Harvard. as mentioned above. there Is 4
movement on foot to open the university''s
athletic opportunities to all students. At
Cornell. under the auspices OF the alumni.
they are raising funds not only for a new
varsity field better and more accessible than
college playground. A report recently sent
out to the alumni states that the work is
progressing rapidly and that the plans of
the alumni will require for the entire system
OF athletic equipment a total expenditure OF
something like $3.50, 900 That shows what
the Cornell people think OF the athletics for
all idea.
Princeton has long had. in addition TO the
regular varsity grounds at Osborne Field, a
college playground. This Ia Brokaw Field,
with room for half a dozen games OF baseball
simulta neously, The field In at the very door
OF the big new Tiger gym with lis baths and
