and 1907 prescribed a red and blue
cockade for the citizen soldiery of the
Commonwealth. The first recorded In
stance of the use of red and blue at the
university was in the badge Of the class
of 1867; the first occasion on which these
colors were born nan thletic competi
ton was at Saratoga in July, 1875, when
the only representative Of the University
of Pennsylvania in a contest arranged by
the Intercollegiate Rowing Association,
finding that almost all other combinations
had been selected by others, decided to
wear cap Of red and blue, (which had
been used in the races of the New York
Yacht Club, as they represented two of
the colors of the national flag" The
colors of the university, therefore, appear
to have been derived from those of the
New York Yacht Club rather than from
the Colonial uniform of Washington or
the cockades of the Pennsylvania militia.
Among the noteworthy alumni of whom
the author makes special mention John
Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg of the class
of 1853 is perhaps the most picturesque
character. "At the outbreak Of the Revo-
luton he was the pastor of church at
Woodstock, Va. Having accepted Colo
neTs commission at Washington's solici-
tation, he appeared in his pulpit with his
uniform under his gown and after preach
ing a sermon on the wrongs the Colonists
had suffered from Great Britain, he ex-
claimed: There is time for all things
"a time to preach and time to pray;
but there is also time to fight and that
time is now GOMEZ Then, pronouncing
the benediction, he threw off his gown and
took his place at the head of his re-
cruits. He participated in many battles
and became a Major General" This TO-
mantle figure is the only representative Of
Pennsylvania in the Hall of Statuary
in the Capitol at Washington. -
Still more prominent among the gradu-
ates of revolutionary fame is Anthony
Wayne of the class of 1765, who was the
only one of sixteen Generals who advised
Washington to fight the battle which re-
suited in the victory Of Monmouth. Ten
signers of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence were educated at the University of
Pennsylvania and twenty-one members
of the Continental Congress. Gen.
Jacob Brown of the class of 1870 dis
tinguished himself in the War of 1872
and rose to be commander in-chief of

the United States Army. The graduates
who achieved most distinction in the civil
war were George B. Mcclellan on the
Union side and Lieut.. John c. Penn
berton, who commanded the Confederate
forces at Vicksburg. In the great war
just ending, 1854 Pennsylvania alumni
served in the military and naval forces Of
the United States and the Entente Allies,
176 of whom lost their lives. "The high
est rank was obtained by Brig.-Gens-
Henry Davis Todd, Jr., 'S6, and Charles
S. Blakeley, 'O2, and Rear Admiral Ed
ward R. Stitt, '89 NJ, in the American
service, and Major-Gen. Sir Henry w.
Thornton, K B. E., '94, in the Royal En-
gineers of the British Army"
Utnil about twenty years ago its med
ical school was the only feature Of the
University Of Pennsylvania that made it
known TO any great extent outside the
State. Up to 1880 the college depart
ment averaged only twelve graduates a
year, as compared with forty at Harvard
and Yale Now that the undergraduate
department has been adequately devel-
oped, so as to keep pace with the profess
sional schools, all those who have the
interests of the university at heart are
DESTROYS of organizing the alumni so that
they will render greater service to their
alma mater than it has received from
them in the past, and thereby aid tho
cause of American education and scholar
ship. The secretary Of the General
Alumni has written the present volume
in aid of this cause. 1t is a praise
worthy undertaking well performed, and
the book merits attention not only from
Pennsylvania men but from college men
generally throughout the country.

the foundations of the institution in l749
