Of this year's subscription $629 was given by the various clubs, societies, and college publications and committees. The women in Sage College raised $125. The balance of $4,011.50 is the subscription of the individual male students. Of the total subscription, $1,589.25 has been paid in, and the committee will now begin the work of collecting the rest. The committee desires that the alumni consider plans for such a stu- dent organization as will be necessary under the new order of things—the undergraduates paying all running expenses of the various teams. It will have to be something of a permanent nature, which will have a definite head. The students will probably expect more representation in the council which decides the University's athletic policy. All of these questions must be taken up and settled before the present college year ends. Subscriptions from alumni in dif- ferent parts of the country are beginning to reach R. H. Treman, graduate treasurer. As yet nothing has been received from any of the alumni associations which are raising subscriptions in the large cities. The amount of individual subscriptions received to date is $165. John N.Ostrom, '77,who founded the Cornell Navy in '75 by getting up the first crew, and who was captain of the '75 crew, forwarded a check for $50 last week. He writes :— "Although reverses have been severe for the last three years, I hope that this will stimulate the boys to a mighty effort this season. They have my best wishes for another clean sweep."

The Masque has sev- eral short farces under consideration, but neither the play nor the cast has been as yet definitely decided upon. The cast, however, will be exclusively masculine, the Sage Dramatic Club taking no part. Mr. Hawn, who has coached the Masque so successfully on former occasions, will come from New York to superintend theperformance.

To his statements nothing need be added. Our history has been, throughout, one of services rendered, not of aid received. Even the State Colleges of Forestry and Veterinary Medicine form no exception, since they are created by the try has occupied two new buildings, erected in 1890 and 1898. Civil Engineering obtained its home in 1888. Agriculture received its part of a building in 1894. Law was properly housed in 1892. Veterinary Medicine was splendidly accommodated in 1894, and Medicine, new comer as it is, already sees its home in process of construction. But where in all these years has there expenses attended to. That is an entirely erroneous notion. We have come to a pass where we simply cannot make much more improvement along athletic lines unless our facilities are bettered. We must soon come to a standstill unless the improvements planned by the Council for Percy Field and the boathouse can be carried out. The exigencies of the situation demand that these May be a matter of conjugal argument, but like what you used to wear at college is a sentiment that a man can cherish for his very own.
