proved to be one of the most exciting of the contests al though the sophomores showed themselves the victors from the be ginning on the first lap gilligan took a lead of about thirty yards on wear and most of this distance was maintained during the rest of the race in the third lap tremlett re duced this distance a little but it was made up in the next by shaff ner scott upon whom the fresh men had based their hopes ran with tine form but was only able to re duce the lead to about twenty yards the following is the order in which the two teams ran 1910 1911 gilligan wear dunn capt dunning tremlett shaffner lazarus van blarcom scott capt baseball six innings the baseball game was close and interesting resulting in a victory for the freshmen by the score of 2 to 1 the diamond was very slow and both teams showed up poorly in fielding and batting but these unpleasant features did not detract much from the excitement of the contest the sophomores scored first in the second inning a base on balls to archibald a passed ball and . an error by rose resulted in one run the second single made off flippen came in the fifth but all hopes were ended by vela's double play the sopho mores made every effort to score in the last inning but the men sent in to bat for the regular players proved unequal to the occasion jacoby started the fourth for the freshmen with the prettiest hit of the game he stole second while miller was receiving a free pass an out and a wild throw to first by archibald sent both runners across the plate after borden the first up to bat in the fifth had singled bil heimer was brought in from center to replace butz and no further scor ing resulted neither team put up a very high class article of baseball and no par ticularly brilliant plays were made the score sophomores * batted for anderson in sixth ibatted for kenney in sixth freshmen continued on page 4 address by w h nichols d sc ll.d founder's day was observed with appropriate exercises in the

of the society of chemical industry of great britain and chairman of the corporation of the brooklyn poly technic institute portions of mr - chols speech are quoted as follows the man who makes two blades or grass grow where only one grew beiore has clone a service the man who starts a school or an academy lias placed tne people of tlie locality under obligations to him xhe man wiiio has rounded a university has done . a large thing we are as sembled here to-day to eeiebate thie anniveirsai'y of tne founding of a great university w^ieh is tiie result of a happy thought and wise purpose properly put in motion by asa i'acker and interwoven with good tliouglits mid wise purposes of many otners in the years that have passed — students professors and friends the founder plainly intended to prepare sonie tning which would attract the bene faction of others and 1 am glad to learn that to a certain extent his hopes have been realized what this foundation means to the world of the future no man can foresee it may have produced men who have made or are to make discoveries of surpris ing importance to the race there may be one seated in this room to day within reach of the sound of my voice who unknown to himself even has begun to enter the outer laby rinth of the habitation of some great secret and while groping at first but investigating as he goes step by step with expanding mind and quick ening perception he will be able by and by to seize the truth and give ft to the world what this university has done in the past is history and like the waves of tne wireless mes sage is bound or its destinations whether they be nearby or distant trivial or exalted , its forces have been at work quietly there has been an earnest orderly effort from the beginning to tit earnest and orderly young men for the sober and serious work which life should mean this has been as i am informed no place for gilded youth to enjoy four years of play with the occasional cramming which examinations by a heartless faculty made necessary it has been a i home where real men prepared themselves to do real things that are worth while — not that play is a bad thing on itself and has been left out of the curriculum it has merely been put in the right perspective as an incident and not an end that is the kind of an institution which asa packer founded and that is tne kind of an institution we find here to-day all honor to the founder and all honor to the faithful men and women who quietly and unostenta tiously have carried on the work to the present hour holding true to the traditions and giving of themselves that others might be the richer and all honor to those others who not being called on for service have the following men are living in taylor hail this year the
