During the past week, the Junior Promenade took precedence over all activities. the other most important events were an unusually fine selection of lectures, the trials for the Dramatic Club, the indoor track meet and the hockey game with Columbia.

Monday night the Promenade concert was given by the university Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs. immediately afterward the Junior, Sophomore and Sheffield Society Germans were held.

The Promenade took place on Tuesday night, lasting from 9 until 4.30. About 1500 guests were present, taxing the capacity of the armory to its utmost.

Friday night a team of thirteen men was entered in the Columbia Indoor Track Games. Yale defeated Dartmouth in a two-mile relay race and W. R. Dray '08 broke the world's indoor pole vaulting record with a jump of 11 ft. 7 1-5 inches. The same night Yale was defeated by Pennsylvania in basketball by a score of 36 to 9.

Dr. William g. Anderson, director of the gymnasium, has obtained data to prove that the health of a student after graduation is not impaired by his college athletic training. Records were collected of 761 athletes who competed in intercollegiate events and won their "Y's" on the eleven, the nine, the crew and the track team between 1855 and 1904. We quote from his report. "These investigations show that the athlete possesses, as part of his equipment at graduation, the probability of better health and a longer life than the man who does not realize the priceless worth of a sound mind in a sound body. And this ancient phrase is supported by the soundest physiological research. For, roughly speaking, there are two portions of the brain, one of r muscles, another for the mind. If either is developed at the expense of the other, the result is an unbalanced mental state."

The lectures given last week included the following. Mr. L. T. Powers gave a dramatic recital of "David Garrick;" Mr. M. E. Stone spoke on "The Influence of the Newspaper in American Life;" Mr. Jack London gave a rather radical address on "The Coming Crisis;" Professor G. H. Palmer gave the second of the Harvard lectures, his subject being "Some Aspects of Ethics," and Mr. H. W. DuBois delivered a most interesting address on "Alaska." Ninety-eight men reported for the first trials for the Dramatic Club.

In an exceedingly rough game, Yale defeated the Columbia hockey team by a score of 4 to 0 at the St. Nicholas Rink on Saturday night.

President Hadley left on January 28 to attend the dinner of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Yale Alumni Association of Cleveland. Last evening he made an address there on, "Efficiency in Education.
