lion dollars which was bequeathed 1t
by Miss Jeanes on condition that it
would forever abolish intercollegiate
athletics, but it is naturally very re-
luctant to mortgage the future and
bind it's faculty and student body
through future generations by accept
ing the gift with such a condition at
tached. 1t is now suggested that
Swarthmore become a woman's col
lege and by so doing the question of
intercollegiate athletics would fade
away and the million with its condi-
tons could be accepted. The male
graduates of Swarthrnore naturally
raise a howl at this proposition, as
they are not anxious to be placed in
the position Of orphans before the col
lege world. Moreover, who can say
put what the college girl of the future
will want to engage in intercollegiate
athletics.

Killing Robins by the Million.

Plainly Louisiana, where our north.
ern robins so in winter is not very
hospitable refuge for the song birds
| which we love SO well and welcome
back to the North so gladly with each
recurring spring. The president Of the
Louisiana Audubon Society says that
more than 100000 robins have been
slaughtered BY hunters for food
this winter in that state. There is
added shame in this for the state of
Louisiana since John James Audubon,
the naturalist. regarded as America 5
greatest authority on birds, was a
native Of that state. 1t is only in the
South that robins, or red breasts as
they are commonly called in that sec
ton, are regarded as food birds and
killed in large numbers for tie pot
Here in most of the Northern states
they are protected by law along with
other song birds, and it IS only occa-
sionally. by the wanton or thoughtless
act of some boy that they lose the;..
life by human agency during their
summer sojourn in this section.
In some OF the Southern states n
regular business is made of shooting
robins and other snail birds Ivy the
wholesale for the market and there
is also the practice of killing them Ut
night in their roosting places.
1t may be that their food in the far
South gives th"m better quality for
edible purposes than they have In
the North. just as the bobolink OF New
England, considered non-edible there.
becomes the redbird in Delaware,
where it is esteemed choice table
dclicacy. and farther south as the rice
bird. Tennessee and Virginia are the
only States that class the robins as 4
game bird, and give it an open and
close season along with quail, wood
cock. s:ipe, etc. The Louisiana game
law protects some birds that we do
not know in the North. as "papabotte, ;"
"chorook" and "galliruti" but the open
season for robins extends through the
entire year.
The movement for the protection OF
the robins in Louisiana which is now
beirg made does not come because the
people cherish them as song birds as
they Go here in the North. but be-
cause it is feared that the reckless
killing Of robins by the million every
year contributes to the growth Of the
boil weevil which is such an enemy to
the cotton crop Let us hope that for
the sake of fighting the boil weevil, if
for no other reason. the people OF
Louisiana and the other sections of the
South will spare enough robins SO that
we may continue to hear their cheer
fui note as usual when the first warm
days of spring arrive here in New
England.

What is the highest mountain peak In
the United States east Of the Rockies,
Probably few can answer, this uues-
ton offhand. 1t is Mitchelrs peak
formerly known as Black mountain.
in the western part of North Calolina.
Its present day name was given il in
memory of DR.. Elisha Mitchell, a pro-
fessor of the University of North Caro-
lima, who determined the altitude Of
the peak and took a peculiar inter-
est in it. While exploring it in 1857 he
was overtaken by a storm and lost his
life and his body was buried at the
summit of the mountain. This story
of half century ago is revived by
the death of big Tom" Wilson, a
famous guide and trapper of that
mountain region. who was the one to
find the body of Professor Mitchell in
1857. The two were great friends and
now the body of the old guide has
been buried beside that of the college
professor on the summit of Mitche,rs
peak. & 90 {. Il

sport which some of our big universe

an idea of 'amateurism" as absurd
