foreign countries or to engage in importing and exporting in preparation for this course dr henry rand hat field of the department of politicals economy has been sent to europe for six months to study the com mercial educational work there at the annual meeting of the intercollegiate lacrosse associa tion of america held in philadel phia last saturday johns hopkins university resigned from the league according to the balti more " sun " the reason for doing so is as follows : the hopkins delegates were in structed to take this action by the athletic association of the uni versity as expressing for the faculty student body and lacrosse team a condemnation of ungracious treat ment reported to have been ac corded the j h u team by ste vens institute last spring and it was given as an ultimatum that hopkins will play stevens no more the delegates of the other mem bers of the association — stevens and lehigh — would not accept the resignation of the hopkins and further action will be taken at a meeting of one delegate from each team at south bethlehem pa next saturday the resolution of the hopkins is not based upon stevens conduct last spring alone but is the result of a dissatisfaction with stevens methods of play and treatment of visitors for years the offense last year however was stated to be so flagrant in discourteous treatment that the faculty of the j h u has forbidden any more games with stevens the j it u has defeated stevens for the last two years the real significance of the resig nation is not that the hopkins will withdraw from all games with le high and stevens but that stevens will be dropped and the league will be formed of hopkins lehigh and one or possibly two new teams the decision in the matter rests with lehigh whether she will up hold stevens or side with hopkins and it was said yesterday by one qualified to know that lehigh will side with hopkins this would be lehigh's natural course as she has far more to lose in dropping a great university located in a big city and having the champion college team of the country it has likewise been stated that pennsylvania and swarthmore have decided to play no more games continued on third

well represented also for the mandolin club the glee cub quartet and a mandolin quartet will take part the end men are in the main old favorites but several new men have been do ing uncommonly good work in that line and will probably fill some of the places " there will be some pyramid work and fencing bouts possibly fancy dancing also but no tum bling as has been usual in previous years " the second part consists of an original burlesque written espe cially for this purpose by an old lehigh man who does not wish his name to be known and will in troduce a number of interesting specialties
