THE REDWOOD 31 ing day, while the coach made an an- nouncement of the names of the men who were to go to the City as members of the squad. Father Meagher deliv- ered a speech to the fellows that was well worthy of the name. Full of the fight and pep that wins, it had every member of the student body wishing that he could be on the team to meet the Olympic Club the next day. As a fitting conclusion to the evening ' s per- formance the School Anthem was sung by the entire student body. Did that rally have results? We ' ll say it did, and as to the yelling, — nearly two hun- dred students went up to witness the game and they tell us you can still hear echoes around the bay of the cheering they did for the team. ' ' Pop ' ' now has two capable assistants to help him in preparing for future games in the persons of Louis Trabucco, and Fred Moran. Mr. P. J. Haltigan On the seventh of Sep- tember, Mr. Haltigan, Reading Clerk of the House of Representatives for the past ten years, gave an interesting and in- structive lecture upon our National Capitol. His talk was illustrated by two hundred and fifty beautifully col- ored, stereopticon pictures of scenes and men intimately connected with the history of our country. He dealt brief- ly with the legislative bodies of the government, their work and duties, and their present personnel. He then spoke upon the history of our flag, and upon interesting facts in the lives of some of our greatest statesmen, explaining at length the growth and development of our capital city. The lecture was greatly enjoyed by all. Mr. Haltigan came to this coast to act as reading clerk at the late Democratic Convention in San Francisco, where his abilities in the performance of this office were highly appreciated. Phelan Club On September 13th, President Fowler called to order a special meet- ing of the Student Body for the pur- pose of organizing a Phelan Club, in honor of James D. Phelan, Ph. D. (hon- oris causa) ' 01, to support him in his campaign for re-election into the Sen- ate. The organization is to be under the direction of the officers of the Stu- dent Body, and the immediate occasion for its formation was the desire to show appreciation for the assistance Mr. Phelan gave in connection with the Olympic Game Rugby Fund. The Stu- dent Body ' s interest in this fund is due to the fact that three members of the team, which by it were sent to the Olympic Games in Europe, are Santa Clara men. The Senior Letters men ' 21 and Engineers a ssem- bled in the law library, September 17th for the first meeting of the year. After a brief address by
