 Princeton and Harvard have met on the gridlron p9riodicaily since 1se3. al- though or;y eight genes have been played between the two universities
 the last .beiug ta Cambridge in 1896. Of these games Harvard has only won one that played in 1887. which the Crimson took by a score of i2 to 0. The longest period that the two uniyersitiss ever met on the gridiron was from 1886 to 18S9--fonr years.
 Every year since the, last contest m 1896 there have been rumors of more or less authoritative source that grid iron relations would be resumed. but efiot until within month ago did any

 Tn view of the announcer ments. seem a,l ingly of an authoritative source: that all arrangements had been made Tor such a game between Princeton and Harvard this year. the statements now that there viii es ce esgtsst .Sat ls fl1ss fhs two universities would again meet on the gridiron. That Princeton and Har- ward did enter into Negotiations for . rsnewaI Of football reietsons, is s.faes. s.sa agreement considered, is not known definitely, but it is safe to say that 1t was not less than two years. Such 8 contract would have insured game that so far as the negotiations had progressed it was certainty that the game this year would have been play cd at Princeton.

 But why was theereal break in the negotiations after all of the principal points had been settied7 It is stated on the authority of prominent Prince- ton alumnDus that it4was no fault of the Orange and Black management that complete arrangements for such a football game were not consumn1ated :. The lack of such a contest as HaryaRd could supply on the Tiger schedule has been felt at Princeton for years. The Yale contest always has and always will be the objective point of Prince tons football coaching. but the Blue only appears at Princeton once in two years, and Old NassatI's alumni have been clamoring for a game of equal interest and importance. For years at different times the Tigers have played Cornell. Columbia. Carlisle and Darts mouth, and while all of these eleyens have invariably shown themselves worthy of the Princeton steel, not one of them came up to the Orange and Black standard and never gave com plete satisfaction to the Orange and Black graduates or undergraduates Hence there was undisguised Gratffi- cation when it- became generally known that Princeton would have Harvard as football opponent in 1908.

Good Old Times Revived.

There was a time when the Commence
ment Concert at Middlebury College was
the greatest musical event of the year in
all this vicinity; when every lover of
good entertainment made an annual pill
grimage to Middlebury to take in this
event. Those were the days when such
famous artists as Mary Howe were pre-
scented, and played to crowded houses of
admirers from all the country round
about, and alumni of the college'from far
and near.
But as the years passed on, there was
a gradual yet steady decadence in the
quality of entertainment offered at the
Commencement Concerts, until at last
we were treated to performances by Sec
ond rate male quartets, assisted by per-
sons who called themselves readers.
The class of 1909, during its four years
in college, have been responsible for
many innovations, among which are the
reviving of the college annual, the estab
lishment of the Junior Week customs;
and the reconstruction CT the track; but
its greatest and most praiseworthy eff
fort is its attempt to restore the COM
mencement concert to its former pres
tige, and give the community really
high. class entertainment during COM
mencement week.
In setting about this they have jumped
from the bottom to the very top of the
ladder of artistic fame and have secured
the one man in all the country to whom
is universally conceded the first place
among concert singers of this age.
This man is David Bispham, the bari
tone, pre-eminently the Master of his
Art. His fame is not limited to the
concert field. Grand Opera is familiar
ground to him, and his successes there
are no whit behind those he has won on
the concert stage. His appearance in
Middlebury is unusual, for the reason
that he has probably never before sung
in so small town, and only the most
enthusiastic support Of the community
will make the venture sufficiently sue.
cessful to warrant the continued produce
ton of equally high-class concerts in the
| future.
That the people of Middlebury realize
the greatness of this opportunity, is
shown by the fact that about 1875 seats
were crossed off on the first day of the
sale of tickets. This is about one-eighth
of the total seating capacity of the aud
itorium and about one-fourth of the
amount necessary to make the concert
financially successful.
The Rutland Railroad, in recognition
of the worth of this production, has
made arrangements to hold the local
trains going north and south on the
which will provide the very best accom-
modations for those who attend the con-
cert from out of town.
