TO ENTER COLLEGE
Dean J. 0. Reed Tells Freshmen
to Get Plenty of Good Food
and Fresh Air,
STRAIGHT TIPS TO STUDENTS.
"The beginning of a college educa-
tion has a meaning far more serious
than we may care to give it in our
ordinary daily thought," declared
Dean J. O. Reed, Sunday evening in
his talk at the initial Sunday evening
meeting of the Y. M. C. A., in New-
berry hall. "Straight Tips to Young
Men" was the dean's subject, and it
was designed especially for the new
men.
"The cost of sending a young man
to college," said the speaker, "is not
alone a denial of the people at home,
for it causes a suffering on the part
of all attached to the student. It is
a significant fact that the men that
have been used to looking out for
themselves in the past are often more
likely to score a mark in college than
those who have had all the comforts
thrust upon them.
"The health of students is the most
important factor to be cared for,"
continued Dean Reed, "every person
should, have plenty of fresh air and
exercise. The vigorous man that is
used to great physical toil in'an ac-
tive life in the country should not be
inattentive of his health. Good food
and plenty of it is needed and under
no circumstances should he over-
study and cloud his brain with erudi-
tion when fresh air is the nourishment
that he needs.
"There is a class of men in the
university whose motive in coming
to college is hard to ascertain. A
low view of the actual meaning of a
college education is given by too many
men who undertake to acquire one in
the American college of today. It is
the too 'practical' idea that men have

student help, will probably be in-
creased to sixty during the year.
FOOTBALL IS MADE COMPULSORY.
Wisconsin Freshmen to Handle Pig-
skin in Place of Dumbbells.
Wisconsin freshmen must play foot-
ball this year, and that under the eye
of the 'varsity coach. The new ruling
requires twice-a-week practices and
allows of no optional gymnasium
work for those who feel disinclined to
handle the pigskin.
Instead of gymnasium suits, the first
year men don old clothes, take a short
"setting up" drill, and then are divid-
ed into three squads for football in-
struction. It.is planned to teach only
the rudiments of the game and the
three sections are worked at once, one
on the charging machine, one passing
the ball, and the third kicking. Coach
Richards, tutor of the 'varsity team,
and Dr. Meanwell, with their assist-
ants, will have charge of this innova-
tion in university gymnastics.
WISCONSIN CLAIMS OLDEST
STUDENT, AGED -EIGHTY-ONE.
An age record for matriculation in
the University of Wisconsin has been
established this year by the entrance
of a woman student, aged eighty-one
years.
When interviewed as to her reason
she merely said that she had seen her
children safely placed in their life
work, and, being left alone in the
world, she could think of nothing that
would give her greater pleasure than
to spend four of the declining years
of her life in study.

r time when he controlled the fortunes

, Louis Mann, Edna May, Maybelle Gil-
s man, Paula Edwardes, and other
s stars, had opportunity during that
period to observe the finished quality
of the manager's theatrical equip-
e ments. In "Madame Sherry," a musi-
tt cal production that scored a success
in New York of greater popular mag-
e
nitude than any musical piece offered
s in the metropolis in a score of years,
the Lederer touch and the Lederer
manner are said to be vitally con-
tributing elements counting of the
production's furore acclaim. Aside
from the notes of mirth struck by the
e story, "Madame Sherry" is said to fas-
t cinate not alone by its score with its
; ravishing "Ev'ry Little Movement Has
g a Meaning all its Own" theme, but to
