The courses of lectures in history to be delivered in the summer school will be specially adapted to the needs of teachers. The course in colonial history will be in large measure an introduction to American history, one of its chief purposes being to give an idea of the meanings of that his. tory. The ordinary facts commonly found in text books will not be given i1 narrative form; but an effort will be made to interpret facts, and to see the important characteristics of the time. Several lectures vill be devoted to the general topic of col- onization, which involves methods of founding and administering colonies, and the reasons for the success or failure of colonizing nations. The attention of teachers will be called to books that are especially helpful and suggestive. The most useful his. torical material will be made accessi- ble to the student. Roasts Legislature-Made Lam. Mr. E. Mariner, a prominent cor. poration lawyer of Milwaukee, Wis., has been the guest of Judge Win. Brown of this city. Yesterday morning he visited the Law Depart- ment and made a speech to the fresh- man class. He told of the mischief done by too much legislation which had no value, in recent years. He praised the common law and declared it was a mistake for legislatures to constantly attempt to change it. Ex- cept in a few instances the rules of the common law are more fair and just than the most of the statutes designed to change them. "Legis- latures in their eagerness to pass some law are nuisances. The Practice Games. The weather permitting the first baseball game of the season will be played next Monday with the Toledo league team. Failing to play then, the series of games will commence as soon as possible. At any rate mat- ters will be so arranged that there will be offered the full series of 10 practice games for which tickets will be sold for $1. These tickets may 9 now be had of any member of the Athletic Board. Four freshmen were denied credit last semester because they were be. hind in gym. work. Intercollegiate Gmnastic Contest.- The first series of intercollegiate gymnastic contests took place on Fri- day night in the gymnasium of New York University, on Morris Heights. Contestants were entered from 19 institutions, and silver cups were awarded to the first, second, and third men in each event. Each competitor was allowed three turns on each piece of apparatus, and the contests were decided on the point system, the maximum in each event being 15. Only three contests were finished.I The competition on the horizontal bar resulted in a tie between R. G. Clapp '99 of Yale, and E. B. Turner '96 of Princeton, now studying in the Union Theological Seminary. Turner won oil the toss. While in college, lie was captain of the Gym. team, and president of the Track Association. The sumnary is as follows: Hori- zontIal bar-Tie between E. B. Turner '96, Princeton, and R. G. Clapp '99, Yale, with 12 points each; J. de la Fuento 00, Columbia, third withi 11 5-6 poits.

There has been much comment concerning the title of the novel upon which Beatrice Harraden has so long been engaged, and which is at last completed and about to be published. It was to have been called, "I, too, have passed through Wintry Terrors." This is a line from one of William Watson's poems. She now has be- taken herself to Holy Scripture, and appears to have finally adopted as her title, "The Fowler." "Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers.' The book is to be published by the Blackwoods, in Edinburgh, and by Dodd, Mead & Co., in New York. Look for Prize Mone. The students who served on the Yosemite expect $200 apiece prize money. In addition, by act of con- gress, those who held a seaman's berth, will receive two months extra pay and the landsmen one month. The matter is in the hands of Edwin Denby, of Detroit, who played cen- ter on the 'Varsity football team in the season of '95. Mr. Albert Y. Whitney, instruc- tor in mathematics is enjoying a short visit from h Is father, who is professor of mathematics at Beloit College. ATHENS THEATRE Daly Stock Company EVERY EVENING Satirday Matinee.
