GET-TOGETHER DINNER
FOR PRINCETON GRADS

NEW YORK, January 14.-Prince-
ton men to the number of 500 are
looking forward to the "get-together"
dinner at the Hotel Commodore this
evening.
The gathering was inspired by the
way the foot ball team of last fall
pulled itself together. after being
beaten by Colgate and West Virginia
and played Harvard to tie and then
defeated Yale.
The members Of the team will be the
guests of honor, and in all probability
the dinner will have a foot ball tone
and gridiron tinge.
William Church Osborn will preside,
while William H. Edwards, collector
of internal revenue, better known as
Big Bill" one of the greatest guards
ever developed at Princeton, will act
as POSTMASTER.
In order to make the dinner repre-
sentative, Walter Camp will speak as
a representative of Yale, while Thorn
as w. Lamont will have something to
say as a representative of Harvard.

Shortly after the season opened. Jen-
