COLLEGEVILLE.

At the first mass meeting of the athletic association on Sunday morning Herman Daniel was elected president, Paul Deery secretary, Theodore Fettig treasurer. The board of directors will be chosen at the next regular meeting. The total number of students now reaches 319, the largest 'enrollment in the institution’s history. The waiting list also contains a goodly number of names. Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky send the largest numbers. Nebraska, Missouri, Pennsylvania and New York are well represented. Very Rev. Boniface Russ, C. PP. 8., provincial of the Community of the Precious Blood, is spending several days at the college. Visitors of the week were: Rev. Mark Hamburger, C. PP. 8., Cincinnati, 0., a former faculty member; Rev. F. J. Koch, Reynolds; Rev. Thomas Jensen, Gary; Mr. Leon Dufrane, St. Mary’s Seminery, Cincinnati; J. J. Jones, Cambridge, O.: Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Ohleyer, Indianapolis. The progress at the gymnasium has been very great during the week. The big structure is now over two feet from the foundation and going up slowly owing chiefly to the difficulty in getting the blocking material. Every foot raised requires a earload of 6x6 timbers. Visitors ’who wander about under the building do so at their own personal risk, and to avoid all danger should make their observations ■from the outside at a safe distance. The north side All Stars defeated the Religious in a well played game of base ball Sunday afternoon. G. Maloney, the varsity pitcher, seriously injured his pitching arm, and will not be ahle to do any work for some time. All athletic games that are to he played on the college grounds are arranged for by the athletic director, and no student manager is authorized to schedule games. , * At the special request of the managers of the Red Men Pow-]Vow the students will be out for the celebration en masse on Saturday afternoon. They will no doubt assist in adding excitement and entertainment, but not to such an extent to be distinguished from the aboriginal festivities of the copper race.
