RESOLUTIONS

eve pause for moment with rever-
ent breath,
To speak of that Angel whom mortals
call death,
That gavel has sounded which none
disobey,
And for our brother tried and true we
mourn here today"
Resolved, That in the death of our
beloved Past Patron, Brother J. A..
Lessiter, this Chapter has sustained
an irreparable loss, but we mourn
not with the darkness of despair in
our hearts for we believe that the
"joy of the Resurrection Morn is
ours, his presence in Heaven makes it
nearer and dearer to US and when our
pilgrimage on earth is DER, he will be
waiting us there with glad smile of
welcome. He loved our order and had
served it well. His life here as in his
home and elsewhere was a beautiful
example Of true and loving devotion,
a power for good to all who came
within its influence and we can pay
him no sweeter tribute, raise no
grander monument to his memory
than by simply striving to emulate
his example. The labors of our Broth
er are terminated but the inspiration
Of his life and service will remain to
bless many succeeding generations.
He was always ready to speak a
cheering word TO all and to comfort
one another with a handclasp close
and tender. We never crossed his
threshold with a grief but we came
away without it. If our hearts are
tuned to beauty to duty we may each
disarm the beauty Of word so kindly
uttered to those who sit in sorrow and

Lost to Columbia Team

The team raced through signal drill
and ran off some of the formations that
will be used against Union on Saturday.
Columbia expects no picnic with the
Schenectady team, which, reports TO the
contrary, has shown a drive and snap
TO it's work which must at least be re-
spected.
Nelson Metcalf is not the sort that
gives out lugubrious stories, and when
he declared that he looked for stiff
fight from the Garnet he spoke with an
air of conviction. The student body,
however. banks on the ability of the
team to down Union, and is planning a
rollicking snake dance when the game
is over.
Hard Work in Order.
The business Of scrimmaging will be
taken up to-day, and tomorrow and
Thursday will find work of the hardest
in order. 1t is felt that the backfleld

Monroe. il was announced. is not so
badly injured as was first believed, but
his ankle is lilely to bother him for a
week or more and greatly retard his
speed. Cochran is nursing a bruised
leg, but expects to start against Union.
Columbia showed remarkable ability
with the forward pass against Vermont,
and it is probable that the same play
will be used in many of its varying
forms against Union. This was indi-
Gated yesterday, when the team I'M
corked about fifty-seven varieties of the

While the varsity was romping
around the freshmen and seniors
hooked up in an interclass struggle,
and the fourth year men won by score
of 10 to 0. They scored two touchdowns
in the first half and another in the last
half.
