the third one being e e wilson from the allentown y m c a the epitome the epitome board is sorry that it is obliged to appeal to the col lege at large and to our alumni for the support that it ought to receive without an appeal and which we hoped would be elicited by our last article in the brown and white in my last article i tried to state my views of what the epitome is or rather what it ought to be the epitome ought to represent lehigh ; lehigh life lehigh cus toms and lehigh spirit if it fails in this it is not worth the publi cation it should represent le high from her greenest freshman to her gayest alumnus and it must do it if it is to be worthy of con sideration the epitome is pub lished by the junior class and edited by a few men selected from that body but if it represents nothing but the effort of those men it will inevitably be a failure and will deserve to be rated as such every lehigh man whether he be a graduate under-graduate instructor or professor should feel that he is to some extent the extent being measured by his ability responsible for the merits and demerits of the book he should take pleasure in helping to make the epitome a book that we can give to the world with pride — with a pride born of the know ledge that the book is good at present a few of our alumni are coming to our rescue bravely ; one or two men in the senior class are doing all that could be ex pected of any one ; one or two sophomores are doing something and a few men not connected with the college are helping us we don't want you to think that we are discouraged we are not the few who are helping us are doing such good work that even now we feel that we can promise to turn out as good a book as le high has ever issued the point is simply this : we are not satisfied with rivaling other epitomes we want to turn out an annual that will rival any college annual in the country other colleges are send ing out better and better books 1 each year and unless we establish a new and higher standard we will be behind the game now undergraduates and gradu ates instructors and professors are you not just a little bit ashamed that these few men are forced to make this herculean effort while you sit passively and await the issue ? don't you think it is your duty to get in line and help them ? whether we like it or not people are going to judge us and our alma mater by our works,and the epitome is one of them d g mcgavock editor-in chief the general alumni society of the university of pennsylvania has agreed to raise 100,000 for the establishment of sixteen new schol arships the regents of brown university haye selected a man for the presi dency of the institution but will not as yet divulge his name the university of pennsylvania and the university of michigan have arranged a football game for next fall to take place on nov 11 at philadelphia it lias been practically decided that the cornell crew will not meet harvard or yale this year owing to the unwillingness of the two latter crews to row at pough keepsi no 33
