Robbinsps abstruse jokes and to spend more time on real property. The football team, captained by Merton Corey, was working hard to achieve fame. Its efforts increased when Robbie,' remarked to some of the members who were caught seuhiing in the class room that he had always noticed that class room athletes made sorry field athletes. Wfhen the din of conflict was over the Law School championship was ours. About this time the class voted to give a dance, and Calkins, Hewitt, Corey, and Brown were ap- pointed to conduct it. Cn came the cold, bleak days and with them the shadows of mid-year examinations. The halls resounded with wild dialogues on executory uses. Tmpending doom darkened the faces of many. Enyart asked fewer questions. The fateful days came. A few fell by the waysideg some staggered through the pearly gate, all had been taught the lesson that freshmen have much to learn. It was probably this conviction that led to a very stirring event. Library books began to disappear. This amorous attention to learning met with a jealous response from Dean Pound.

The three highest men who received book prizes were O. A. Bergren, Merle Brown, and I. D. Clark. Those three men were appointed justices of the peace for the ensuing year. At the beginning of the second year the burdens of office fell upon Merton L. Corey, president, Edward Affolter, vice-president, Benjamin F. Butler, secretary, Wfilliam Ramsey, treasurer, and A. C. Meier, sergeant-at-arms. Their administration was a quiet 59
