Three football mass meetings havs been held during the past week in preparation for the two big games of the year At the first, J. D. Swain told the undergraduates the plans for the new coliseum and playgrouuds, stat ing that besides the new concrete bowl" fifty tennis courts, twenty baseball diamonds, new track and other facilities will be provided, with central club house providing locker accommodations for 1,500 men. To utilize space in the present field that is unused, the present baseball stands will be moved back to the street, ac- | cording to the plans.
 The coliseum, of course, is the first thing needed, and all efforts are being made to raise the funds necessary. About $165, 900 has been subscribed and $300,000 is needed. The total improve ment cost will approximate $700,000. Following the speaker, the new siren 1 cheer was tried out This is to fill the place of a short Yale cheer, and is to be used when new players are put in | or any other time when the long cheer | is not advisable.

There is a g. eat deal of real trou-

all of us feel too keenly the force of
that great sentence: Man was born
to trouble as the sparks fly upward"
Surely, then, with all this real trou

t. make any extra trouble for our
selves.
And yet as Emerson points out,

your mind from it and think of some

to study mind control, just as we

would not be held down by the re-

make out Of herself by reading and
studying.
As a girl. this woman had only q
high school education; but she had
a keen mind and a desire to learn,
and instead q giving up all reading
after marriage, except the magazine
stories and an occasional popular no
vel, she simply kept On reading
things worth while. She had one

one first class review, and two Of

resources Of the town library; and
out Of all these she got the best
they had to give.
As a consequence. she is today a

she Is In touch with the topics OF the
day; she is keenly interested In pol

scientific discoveries; she Is andently
interested in the theories Of the DO

ply; she likes the best in literature.
and instead OF being a nondescrdpt
