Colby Day Changed to Nov. l.
Agreeable to All Concerned.

DR.. Parmenter, at chapel exercises.
Tuedsay morning, made an interest
ing official announcement concerning
the celebration of Colby day, this fall
The date of the event, he stated, had
been changed by the Athletic Council
from the second Friday in October to
the first Friday in November, which
falls on the first day of the month.
The fact of this change will prove
especially interesting to the alumni
of the college, who are in the habit of
returning for the celebration in the
gymnasium and those who are anxious
to keep in touch with the progress of
the football team.
Hitherto, Colby day, coming in the
middle of October. just preceding such
games as with Fort Mckinley or Bos-
ton College, had no vital connection
with the real football-the State
championship games, which invariably
come at a later date in the season.
Managers of the teams in years past
have found it impossible to arrange
for championship game for the Sat
urday following Colby day, and, for
the lack Oh the Interest Which "o"i0
have been added by the excitement OF
such game. the number of gradu-
ates returning for the occasion has
not been proportionate to the general
prosperous condition of the college
Colby day was founded by the trus-
tees of the institution, several years
ago, with intention of establishing a
convenient date for the fraternities to
hold their fall limitations, as well as
To become an interesting factor in
the football season. The fraternities,
without an exception. have found the
