THE REDWOOD 25 line of athletics, and promising that with its co-operation Santa Clara would this year maintain the high standing in American football which it formerly held in Rugby. The election of Executive Secretary was next in order, the position being left vacant by the failure of Francis M. Conneally, secretary-elect, to return to college. Louis F. Buty, who had been acting as secretary pro tem. was chosen for the position. Edwin R. Harter, chief yell leader in ' 16, who has now returned to Santa Clara after 16 months overseas, was called upon by President Veit for a few remarks. Mr. Harter spoke on the Santa Clara Spirit , drawing an ana- logy from the unconquerable spirit of the doughboy over there . He urged the students to foster and maintain that spirit at all times, whether on the athletic field, or along other lines of endeavor. With the conclusion of Mr. Harter ' s remarks, the meeting ad- journed. Philaletic Senate Tuesday evening, Sep- tember 2nd, saw the Philalethic Senate once more in session, Father Nicholas Bell, S. J., presiding. The evening was chief- ly devoted to the election of officers for the coming year, and the proposal of the new names of former Philhistorians, as prospective members of the astute body of Senators. The men selected to carry the honors and glory of the Sen- ate during the forthcoming year have all shone forth in oratorical grandeur, while serving in the House, and possess the qualifications necessary for admit- tance to the Philalethic body. They are:— T. Bricca, R. O ' Neill, J. Hender- son, P. Morettini, L. Buty, W. Koch, A. Ferrario, E. Coman, E. Heafey, W. Des- mond, T. Kaney, J. Connell, T. Crowe, T. Sturdivant, and L. Trabucco. From all appearances the Senate will enjoy the most successful year that it has seen for some time. Last year, as is well known, because of the army re- gime, oratorical attainments were put aside and forgotten almost completely, — lost, as it were, in the military whirl- pool of warlike achievements. Now, however, that the sword is sheathed, and the rifle is clothed in a cloak of preservative cosmolene, the Senate is once more prepared to welcome its members, both old and new. The following were elected to office for the coming year: Vice-President, Henry C. Veit; Secretary, Edwin R. Harter ; Corresponding Secretary, Thomas J. Moroney; Treasurer, Thom- as E. Whelan; Sergeant-at-Arms, James B. O ' Connor; Librarian, W. Ward Sullivan. ,, , The first meeting of the House of Tj -T e r»KMt-« 1. • House gave evidence of Philhistorians ,-,,•, a brilliant year m de- bating among the Freshmen and Soph- omores of the University.
