Mr. Editor: I desire to correct what was evidently an error of your devil In my letter of last week. Instead of cost ing $2 or ?2.50 each to arrange for ti tournament, I wrote ?2 or $2.50 a pair. That would, make it ?l or ?1.25 each. However, I have just been informed that one of the fraternity houses could be had, free of charge, for such a con test. It is safe to say that we could easily arrange for the game at an ex pense of not more than 75 cents each. A number of students have spoken to me about the preliminary arrange ments for a tournament such as out lined. If there are others interested let 'em speak out in meeting. As soon as sixteen signify a desire to try their hands we can get together and appoint a committee to arrange all the details. Nov. 10, 1899. N. C. ABBOTT. Editors Nebraskan-Hesperian: Cor nell is at present more than usually In terested in foot ball. The cause of this Is Cornell's well-earned victory over Princeton on October 23. The two teams played good ball, though both made some bad fumbles, and Cornell was given twenty yards during the game for Princeton's off-side play. Cor nell's winning goal was made on a pretty drop kick from the field by her little quarterback, George Young. The game, by the way, was remarkable for the amount of punting on both sides. This victory, so earnestly worked for, but not expected, has aroused much in terest and enthusiasm, all the more since it followed several unsatisfactory Tictories against small colleges. The enthusiasm consisted in an immense gang of students putting in about three hours after 11 p. m. the night of the game at a regular Fourth of July cele bration, including three great bonfires in the center of the town, and other things. People here even hope that the 'varsity eleven will win against Colum bia, who has suddenly become formid able, on election day and against Penn sylvania on Thanksgiving. The university opened late this year and with two holidays. These were not in the calendar, nor were they expect ed. September 2CJ and 30 were "Dewey days" and were observed here by hav ing no school work. The president's annual address to the students was gh en September 28 in the gymnasium, which was packed full. He did what many expected and what all of us hoped he would do gave us his views as to what the country should do in the Philippine islands. They are the most able and sensible views which have been issued and are well worth read ing. The address was published In the American monthly Review of Reviews for November. The total enrollment is larger than over, as is the case with almost all American colleges, about 2,250 in all departments, with about 550 freshmen. The completion of an addition to Morse ball places the department of chemistry in the best circumstances as regards material equipment of any sim ilar department in this country, and 7erhaps abroad certainly in lines. The addition elves room to the "brandies of inorganic and of physical ohemistry and contains beside full lab oratories, general and special, in these two liranches, the liest spectroscopic )VJC SELL WAT MA.VX WEAL A THE CO-OP PJCXAKT U.

This building adds another to the plain, but most solid and useful, collec tion of buildings, situated on one of the most beautiful sites for a university that could be found anywhere. The large campus located on the top of one of the hills at the end of Cayuga lake, and dominating the city nearly four hundred feet below, and with two beau tiful gorges running through It, forms a picture of which words or photo graphs can give no adequate Idea. So I shall not try. The place, especially the gorges and the lake, though pretty and wild, has its dangers and nearly every year claims one or more victims. Somebody falls Into the gorges on a dark night or is drowned in the lake, e.ther while sailing or skating. A very sad and strange accident ha; pened a week ago, of which probably-. you have seen some account in the papers. E. Fairfax Berkeley, the only son of a St Louis family and the third of his name, was drowned in a canal at Geneva, this state. How, no one knows. He was a freshman here and went to Geneva with seven or eight others, in company of a delegation of Cornell Kappa Alphas, to be initiated into this society at the chapter house of the society at Hobart college, their own here having burned last winter. His death took place in the afternoon and was in no way connected with the initiation ceremonies of the society. The student body and everyone else was deeply stirred. A mass meeting of stu dents was held, a committee appointed to draw up resolutions of sympathy with the boy's parents, also with the society. A committee of the faculty has been appointed to investigate, it is said, at the society s request. Its re-1 port is not yet known. BENTON DALES. STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Two thousand copies of the reports of the state horticultural society have been jecived and are in the h'storical society rooms. The first draft of the newspaper bul letin is ready for inspection. Owing to the sickness of the carpen ter, the case for the First Nebraska Philippine collection has not been com pleted. In June, 1890, the Hesperian pub lished a list of all the periodicals ac cessible to the students. Librarian Bar rett has received a call for a copy of some tliis paper to go to the university ex hibit at the Paris exposition. "Hie reports from the American mi croscopical society have beei received from the printer and are now stored Jn the historical rooms, m "WEBSTER'S llNTERNffnONU, .DICTIONBHT Every Home, School and Office should own W ebster s International Dictionary of ENGLISH, Biography, Geography, Fiction, etc YLW.W TV?..
