It gives me great pleasure to be able to chronicle an act of munificent generosity on the part of the athletic association. This magnanimous association, after mature deliberation, has decided to give away the programmes for the winter sports, instead of charging, as heretofore, the five coppers at which these printed cards were rated. This is surely a giant stride in the right direction,- all the more gratifying at the present crisis when the course of the university seems to be backward. The prayer petition refused, Greek downtrodden, foot ball abolished,- at such a time, what a relief to find one body of men so alive to the interests of the hour ! Yet stay. Can it be that this unexpected, and reckless waste of money is prompted by the expectation of the numerous sheckels which will flow into the strong box of the association this morning, as the members line up to pay an additional fifty cents for their tickets over the price which was in vogue last year. Truly generosity is not invariably caused by adversity.
