as to the letters that are being sent out by attorneys to aid you in collecting the allowances under the army act for expenses at the camp i dio not think that you will need any attorney's help in the matter the executive committee of the mili tary training camps associaion in new york is looking after it be sides as soon as the government accounting departments and the war department have systema tized the matter there will be no difficulty i am certain in adjust ing these accounts the united states intercollegi ate lacrosse league will hold a meeting in the park avenue hotel new york city saturday after noon manager f e portz will represent lehigh at this meeting one of the important matters to be discussed is whether or no sideline coaching will be abolished cor nell harvard yale pennsylvania hobart johns hopkins stevens swarthmore and lehigh are league members tn common with lots of the uni versities of the country lehigh recognizes the obligation to extend educational facilities to men and women who are not and for one reason or another can not enroll as regular students for eight years now course's have been offered in a variety of subjects to such stu dents and lehigh students have become used to seeing mature men and women walk to coppee hall and other buildings of the uni versity on saturday mornings this year the extension work is considerably enlarged a note worthy feature being the addition of several courses in education made possible by the addition to the university staff of doctor peters it is expected that the en rollment will be much larger this 3^ear than heretofore evening courses also are given in mathematics mechanical draw ing machine design applied elec tricity metallurgy and in such commercial branches as account ancy investments and business law probably no other uni versity of its size is in a position to serve so well the community in which it is situated in respect to these industrial and commercial studies in time the more ele mentary studies will no doubt be taught in an evening high school but in the meantime these courses offer valuable training to students in education here an interesting phase of lehigh s extension work is the fact that of their own initiative the professors heads of departments who assist in this work on saturdays and in the evenings do so without re muneration we do not know of any other case quite parallel to this this action on the part of the professors concerned sprang from their keen appreciation of the needs of the community and the possibilities of the university in the way of wide public service for a number of years past the evening courses of the university have to a considerable extent been taught by regular students of the university this work has been undertaken without compensation except the pleasure of helping those who greatly need help and the advantage of practicing one's powers of exposition and instruc tion upon men who are willing and ambitious but who are tired with a day's work and who are in most cases imperfectly educated many of the students are foreign-born and it is generally found that the experience of teaching these men is not without value to the future en gineer or business man more than one student now in the university has found in the evening schools the means by which he has fitted himself to enter the receipts of the evening courses are in part spent on university equip ment and in part in supporting a few courses w t hich require the paid services of trained university in structors courses which otherwise could not be offered at present and until the habit of attending such courses is more fully developed in the community through the courtesy of the management of the lehigh or pheum the returns from the yale game at new haven will be an nounced play by play at the foun der's day sports to be held on taylor field tomorrow afternoon the orpheum is giving this service igratus to the students who
