Lake Champlain makes 1t possible to

will make Junior Plattsburg one OF the
most notable centres of summer sport in
the East.
Under the direction of o. +. Monahan,
physical director of the Hotchkiss School.
lively series of baseball games track
and field meets, swimming carnivals and
other events will be arranged. In which
boys from the Ave divisions of the camp
cavalry, artillery. infantry, air service
and navy-will compete against each

A big game between Junior Plattsburg
and summer school OF high standing
has been planned, which should furnish
a very "scrappy" contest and u decided
novelty IN schoolboy athletics.
Since the international polo match at
Meadowbrook the war has hindered the
continued development of this famous
game in America. but the appointment
of James C. Cooley OF the Aiken
and Meadowbrook Polo clubs, who was
manager of the American team at
Meadowbrook in 1914 as instructor in
equation and polo at Junior Platts-
burg, opens up a wide range of inter
esting possibilities. Junior Plattshurg
recognizes that a good polo player must
be trained TO the last word in horseman-
ship and at the same time must learn
something OF the technique and strategy
OF the game itself before he is likely TO
make any name for himself on the field
Mr.. Cooley Is. therefore. planning to
give instruction which will fit his pupils
to take an aggressive part in the dovel-
opment OF the game at country clubs

The Director OF the Air Service at

Junior Pla.tsburg will teach aviation

A fleet OF six Curtiss machines OF the

at the 10th convocation, said
that In common with all other edu-
cational institutions in the United
States the University OF Chicago en-
deavored to do its part in support OF
the national cause. At the outset all the
laboratories were offered to the Govern
ment, and they were able TO render very
active and useful service. Sixty-two
members OF the faculty at one time or
another were released from their duties
to render service for the United States
in the war. Twenty-eight members of
the faculty have given active service
without leaving their place In the quad
rnngles. Others. including assistants. are
81 many that the entire service on be-
half OF the faculty amounts to approxi-
mately 200.
The total attendance In the quad
rangles of the University OF Chicago
during the winter quarter Just closed
has been 2.s0S. as against 3,101 a year
ago, showing a net loss of 293. This is
distinct approach toward normal con-
ditions. a far better showing in at
tendance than was expected after the
general disturbance OF last autumn. In
University College downtown the total
number OF students taking work during
the winter quarter has been 944 against
1924 FOX the corresponding quarter OF
1918. This makes a university total of
5,752 for the winter quarter. 1919, and
