IN another column we print a notice for a mass meeting to be held in Upper Massachusetts next Tuesday evening. The object of this meeting is to consider the best means of raising the $3000 necessary in order to begin the work in laying out the Soldiers' Field. It has been necessary in order to begin the work in laying out the Soldiers Field. It has been necessary to raise a fund of $50,000 before work could be begun on the Field. Some time ago subscriptions were solicited from graduates and $47,000 have been raised by them, leaving $3000 yet to be collected; and the meeting for next Tuesday is to consider how that sum can best be raised by undergraduates.

It has seemed only right that we should step in now and, by contributing this comparatively small sum, take some part in raising the funds necessary to complete this field which Colonel Higginson has given us. We shall never be able to express adequately our gratitude to him for his generosity and kindness in giving us this large field for athletic sports. Jarvis and Holmes and Norton are fast failing to answer the demands made upon them and Soldiers' Field could not have come to us at a more opportune moment. During the past year and a half the field has been filled in and carefully levelled and is now ready for the final arrangements for the various athletic sports. In the meantime the sum to pay for this was being collected from the graduates, and the amount collected from those in New England has reached $47,000. It is expected that when $50,000 have been raised, the graduates in New York and elsewhere will contribute something. We have had no part in contributing to the fund, yet the large majority of us will get the actual return in the use of the field,-for it will be completed as soon as the $50,000 are raised. It is only just that we should raise this sum of $8000 and show Colonel Higginson that we,-who will profit most from his generosity-appreciate his magnificent gift. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the whole college will turn out to the mass meeting next week.

WE call attention to the fact that Dr. C. H. Parkhurst will preach tomorrow night at Appleton Chapel. Dr. Parkhurst has been so constantly before the public this last year that there is little need to say much in regard to him. He is a preacher of considerable eloquence, and his sermons are generally marked with unusual force and directness. There should be a large attendance at Chapel to morrow to hear him.
