charlottesville, Va, April 24.-One
OF the special features of the approach
ing reunion at finals OF the class OF
1908 of the University of Virginia will
be the award of n reunion trophy cur
to the class having the largest number
of alumni present.
This cup will be a permanent t-cnhy.
to be awarded on the same conditions
each year. 1t was authorized at IL
recent meeting of the board of COVER
nors of the Coionnade Club. who ap-
propriated ? sum OF money to pay,
for 1t. The award in June will be
made by the secretary OF the club, the
editor OF the Alumni News, which Is
published by the club. and the editor
or the Alumni Bulletin. s.
Another feature of the reunion Will
be the permanent establishment of
class organization. Glasses dating
from the. present session back for ten
or nrteen years have begun to or
ganize and some of the more recent
classes have perfected organization to
the extent of electing officers and pub
fishing records. The old system OF
practically no class organization will
gradually disappear. 1t Is believed
that the new movement will result In
binding the body OF alumni together as
nothing heretofore has done.
Professor Thomas Titzhugh has re-
ceived copy of the weekly for
classical philology of Berlin. which
contains an account of the years ac-s
tivities in the field OF the classics in
Virginia The author OF the article
speaks in high terms OF the activities
of the Classical Society OF Virginia
and refers at considerable length to
the formation of the Richmond Society
of the Archaeological Institute OF
America and OF the Classical Associa-
ton OF Virginia.
I'm the land OF dollars" says Pro-
lessor Draheim, the eminent German
sch olar. who wrote the article in cues
tion. archaeological societies are be-
Ing organized, classical associations
are being founded, museums are being
Instituted and endowed, and the ideal
interests of life are being fostered',;
and he remarks with regret that, In
contrast to this activity In America,
IN the land OF thinkers the market
for these nobler things is even now on
the decline"
Reference is also made In the Ger
man paper to the work OF Professor
Fitzhugh who has completed his
seventh bulletin in his studies of
indoeuropean rhythm and rhyme. He
has already started upon the researches
necessary for the completion OF the
