saturday in one of the best and most bitterly contested games seen on lehigh field in recent years the moment the game began the large crowd of rooters and spectators brought out by the championship fea ture of the game were kept at the highest pitch of excitement by the ex cellent team work of both sides and the frequent spectacular passes of individual players r after a few minutes of play arm long scored for hopkins this was llowed by another by mathias then duncan scored lehigh's first goal the hopkins team displayed more science in advancing the ball up tne field especially when close to the goal this seemed to be lehigh's weak point time and again the ball would be carried up as far as the first defense when the attack would be broken up near the goal by the hopkins defence and the ball lost in fact the score does not at all in dicate the nature of the game for lehigh kept the ball in her oppo nents territory at least two-thirds of the game although the hopkins men seemed about all in one goal was shot before the half ended le high started the second half with a dash when harrower threw a goal after a few minutes of play victory seemed within easy reach but before the half ended hopkins pulled to gether and succeeded in throwing three anore goals the defence of the local team played a good game only weakening a little near the end of the game the features of the game

gentle men of the board of trustees and the faculty fellow alumni of le high and fellow students of le high two years ago when by the grace of our alumni bouy i was asked to come to lehigh — now nearly three years ago to take up the task that i love yet that has lain heavy upon me i remember that banquet of our alumni at wilkes-barre at which the inscription on the menu card un der my name was something to the effect that he sees pictures in his dreams i did see pictures in my dreams and i dreamed for many years of lehigh now our dreams are coming true and the cause is a united alumni body that have been working for the good of the place we love so well i want to say to you alumni here today that we have a student body today worthy of you and who will be i know your worthy successors lehigh has en tered on its new light its life of love for the student body its life in which we are looking to the good of the boy to the good of his body to the good of his soul as well as the good of his mind and these things are all developing thanks to our alumni and our good friends my heart is so full with it all that it would be impossi ble for me to express what i would wish to say fortunately there are with us today men with tongues far better than mine first i want you to hear what has been written to us by a man whom we all love — wil liams of 75 i would say to our guests that professor williams is the donor of our finest college building a most loyal and active son of le my dear drinker — ■ i wish i could be with you on this day when you gather to do honor to mr carnegie but not being able i send a word as i can not remain quiet on this day we celebrate as it is not a common day there have been many days or rejoicing for le high when we welcomed larger buddings or added endowments or any of the thousand and one things which make a university rejoice but these have become common days with the university world we are used to the reception of numerous commodious recitation rooms under an attractive exterior or an aggre gate of well appointed and furnished laboratores these add to the ease with which work is done and enable us to do our duty to greater num bers but they do not change the spir it with which the work is done nor do they create in the undergraduate body something before non-existent on this account such days are of or dinary account and not to be men tioned beside to-day when a new de parture is inaugurated a new spirit created a new possibility extended to our undergraduates which under the blessing of god is to create a new lehigh you and i and the other old fel lows who lived through our under graduate life under a dormitory sys tem have been able to pity the later generations of lehigh undergraduates when we saw them scattered broad cast over the bethlehems living any where and nowhere—as far as le high university was concerned with out coherence without common sym pathies and ignorant of the very things which make for culture we oldsters value the training we re ceived in these recitation rooms but we would not for a moment mention it beside that period of our life when continued on page 2 b h s l
