mained deserted until January 4 of the new year. The two weeks ' absence from the University gave everyone a new viewpoint and when the daily tasks were again taken up a new spirit was in evidence. The .short session before the end of the semester was one of great activity. Basketball and indoor track were booming and final touches on class records were in order. The first semester pa.ssed into his- tory with less demonstration on the part of the student body than ever before. With the pros]iect of the long grind ahead, every- one settled down to work. The basketball .season was both a success and a disappoint- ment. Coach Jones ' thousand per cent, team built high hopes in everyone ' s heart. Then came the slump which resulted in a tii ' with Minnesota for first honors in the Conference. Indoor track received its full .share of attention during the past season. The team was weak in a number of events and did not present a balance necessary to land a champion.ship, but the work of the individuals met with the approval of the fans. Cap- tain Richards was declared world ' s champion in the indoor high and low hurdles for the records made last year. Prospects foi ' the outdoor .sea.s(]n were iii-vei- liri liti ' i- tli.in ,it r n|ii ' iiiiii; nf spring training. The baseball season opened au.spiciously for Purdue. Indi- cations point toward a record team. What the outcome of tli ' Conference .schedule will be remains to be .seen, but it is certain that the Old Gold and Blad regain the championship.

The work accomplished by the Iron Cro.ss (K ' iety of Wisconsin is a good example of the value of such organizations; and the reason Iron Cro s means so much to Wi-sconsin is because the membership of the society is composed of the natural leaders in student afliairs, and is representative of all of the schools of the university. Such men coming together are able to interpret the best of student sentiment and act upon correct conclusions. Con- sequently they have the confidence and the hearty co-operation of both the student body and the faculty.

The holiday spirit was in evidence; hearty handshaking, cordial greetings, enthusiastic anticipation everywhere. The first convocation, the formal opening exercise of the year, was held on September 14. Once more the Series, the Bull-dog, the Skyrocket aud the vai ' ious class yells were heartily given. The grind commenced, broken only by niiihily fiaca.scs be- tween the Freshmen and Sophomores, and thi- daily develop- ments in athletic prospects. The seventeentli annual Tank Scrap took place on the evening of Friday, September 23. The result, a victory for the Freshmen, came as a great surprise. The usual stunts on Stuai ' t Field were carried out in traditional order. Tlic new I ' oiitliall coach, Marcas F. Ilorr, put the football sipiad to hanl W(irk as soon as the Conference regulations per- mitted.

Indiana Day will long be remembered as one of the holidays of tlie year; class work was suspended that the University might show its hospitality for Purdue ' s dearest rival. Corduroy day and the Senior- Junior parade were observed itli all the due ceremony on the occasion of the firat football game. The Junior hats made their appearance at the same time. The annual Thanlisgiving holiday was suspended, .md instead of the three days ' respite from work only one wa.s alhuved. The Christmas vacation was extended two days, however, to com- pensate for the short November i-est .
