other feature of the new plan that
ment of not only football in Amerl
can colleges, but he has helped to
place other sports on the high plane
which they occupy today.
Mr. Camp has spent the better part
of his life to help a cause in which he
has been interested since he was in
his 'teens. His knowledge of the vari
ous branches of athletic endeavor has
been accumulated as a player and
afterward by close and careful obser
vation. Upon his resignation from active
connection with Yale athletics and the
appointment of Trof. Robert N. Cor
win as his successor, the Yale News
gave Mr. Camp trie roiiowins iriume
in a late issue:
"Walter Camp, who now retires
from active connection with Yale ath
letics, will always be regarded by
Yale men as the central figure around
-whom the university sports, and par
ticularly, of course, football, have
come to be developed to their present
organization since modern college ath
letics began in the eighties.
"Regarded by the public as 'the
father of American football.' Mr.
Camp especially stands among Yale
men as the builder of that remarka
ble football organization which, with
the captains and field coaches in the
foreground and himself in continuous
advisory relations in the back-ground,
became in time the roost efficient and
successful intercollegiate football ma

Incidentally it might be mentioned
that all the freshmen are now living

The Nationalization of Harvard
Latest Harvard statistics seem to
confirm the early impression that the
new plan of admisison would serve
to nationalize the university and to
raise the standards of scholarship in
the college itself. It is now apparent

THE DAYS THAT ARE NO MORE
Tears, idle tears, 1 know not what they
mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine
despair
Rise in the heart, and gather to the
eyes,
In looking on the happy autumn fields.
And thinking of the days that are no
more.
Fresh as the first beam glittering on a
sail
That brings our friends up from the
underworld,
Sad as the last which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the
verge;
So sad, so fresh, the days that are no
more.
Ah. sad and strange aa in dark sum
mer dawns
The earliest pipe of half-awakened
birds
To dying ears, when unto dying eyes
The casement slowly grows a glimmer
ing square;
So sad, so strange, the days that are
no more.
Dear as remembered kisses after
death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy
feigned,
On lips that are for others, deep as
love,
Deep as first love, and wild with all
regret ;
O Death in Life, the days that are no
more.

. War Figures.
Some wTlter who delights in statis
tic has found that 915.SO0 or more
men have been killed outright thus far
in the war. The cost of five months
fighting by the European nations is
approximated at seven billions of dol
lars. More than five million men have
been injured, lost or captured.
From this it appears that it costs
about $7,000 to kill a man in modern
warfare. And this does not include
the damage done to property. It sim
ply is the actual cost of powder, can
non, shot And shell, transportation of
troops, feeding of troops and the like.
To kill men, nations will spend thou
sans per capita, but to relieve poverty
and hunger, the budget diminishes re
markably and the per capita sum ex
pended is rather in cents than in thou
sands of dollars.
The figures speak for themselves.
Great Britain estimates her casualties,
officers and men, killed, wounded, lost
or captured, at about 105,000; Prance,
1,110.000; Russia, 1,S00.200; Belgium,
113,000; Servia, 170.000; Germany,
1,500,000, and Austria 1,500,000.

A Roosevelt Tip for Boys
Theodore Roosevelt expresses . his
dislike for the "sissy" type of boy in
a letter to Dr. Charles D. Ilart, chair
man of the Boy Scouts of America.
"The boy is not worth anything If
he is not efficient," Colonel Roosevelt
wrote. "I have no use for molly
coddles. I have no use for timid boys,
for the 'sissy' type of boys.
j "I want to see a boy able to hold
his own and ashamed to flinch. But
as one element of this ability to hold
his own, T- wish to see him contempt
uously indifferent to the mean or bru
tal boy who calls bin 'sissy or a mol
lycoddle because ao Is cleau and de
cent and considerate of others.
j "If a boy is fearless and energetic,
he is & poor creature; but he Is an
even poorer creature if he Is a bully
of smaller boys or girls, if he is guilty
of cruel mischief, and If in his own
home, and especially la his relations
with his mother and sisters, he is sel
fish and unfeeling.

An Agreement
Pat weighed two hundred and was

ninety. Furthermore, in both cases,
she was the same girl. To settle mat

peeled off their coats, stepped off ten

"Hold on, ye spindlin rascal, yelled
