respectively the following games were all victories — st bonaventure 9-7 gettysburg 15-6 lebanon valley 6-0 and f and m 20-0 but there is nothing startling in all this when seen in the after

trophy room the business of new elections for the present year and the question of extending new chap ters was taken up during the past summer propaganda of the society was widely spread and as a result many requests have been received this fall concern ing the possibility of the estab lishment of new chapters the mining and metallurgi cal society held its first meet ing of the year in williams hall thursday evening mr howard eckfeldt head of the mining department introduc ed the speaker of the evening professor miller professor of geology at lehigh university who told about his geological trip through the different coun tries of europe professor miller first gave a short history of the develop ment of the structure of the earth he then discussed fully the different geological condi tions in the various countries of europe con on page 3 col 2 the meeting was well at tended with the exception of the freshmen this was prob ably due to the fact that the the lehigh library was recently very fortunate in be ing the recipient of a presenta tion of books by mrs robert peary the widow of the late admiral robert peary there are five volumes all containing the story of the discovery of the north pole by the explorer and many statistics gathered by the expedition these should be of particular interest to the lehigh student as robert peary jr is now at tending lehigh after having re turned from a trip to green land with the putnam expedi tion he was chief engineer of the ship morrissey which took the expedition to the far north in addition to this presenta tion several volumes on shakespeare mostly of a criti cal nature have been purchas ed by the library for use in the english drama course many changes have taken place in the library this year the first balcony has been al most entirely rearranged the technical periodicals which were formerly on this balcony have been moved to the basement this is more or less an incon venient place but space had to be made for more important booksj the books in many of the stacks on the first floor con on page 3 col 6 the prior memorial project has been in entire charge of the omicron delta kappa and inasmuch as the funds for the memorial were collected from virtually every member of the student body it was deemed ad visable to print the following report in order that the stud ents might have an itemized ac count of how the money that they so willingly subscribed was used con on page 2 col 4 the final report of the prior memorial committee of the omicron delta kappa was re ceived and accepted by that senior honorary society at its last meeting on october 21st the report submitted by charles k zag 26 chairman of the committee is itemized on tuesday evening a meet ing of the musical clubs was called professor harry fretz was unanimously elected to the position of advisor to the clubs succeeding dr horace w wright who on account of his duties at the university was unable to assume the advisor ship for this year last year's productions were a huge success and every ef fort is being turned to making this season a better and great er musical year for the clubs and for lehigh this year's musical creations are to be em bodied in a different form plans now being formulated for a harmonization of the classical and the modern trend in or chestral selections it will be remembered by those fortunate to have heard the orchestra last season that the music was of a distinctly classical type ap preciation of that form of com position comes after long asso ciation with musical values this perhaps more than any other element has prevented the clubs from enjoying their full measure of patronage and popularity which they so well deserve therefore it has been considered advisable to instill into the concerts a popular note con on page 3 col 2 the opening kick-oft to-mor row at 12:30 on taylor field will see a strong muhlenberg frosh team lined up against the powerful representatives of lehigh 30 the freshmen from allen town will present a strong ag gregation of players led by beanie borrelli the younger brother of the muhlenberg ace who is so well known through out this region young borel li a half-back who bids fair to equal his brother in football prowess is ably supported by a fast and shifty backfied and a heavy line which provides good interference at all times the strength of this combination is well attested to by the fact that the allentown collegians ran up a score of 32-0 against the lehigh varsity scrubs two weeks ago at muhlenberg the lehigh frosh will like wise put a strong and well drill ed eleven on the field in an ef fort to bring about the defeat of the rival institution the freshmen have acquitted them selves well this year consider
