KELLEY.Providence, September 23, 1905.NEW YORK BETA, UNION COLLEGE.Union College entered its one hundred and tenth college year on September21 with the brightest of prospects. The entering class equals in numbersthat of last year and is said to be the best prepared class that has enteredUnion in years.Fourteen of last year's chapter are back and are working hard to securethe best men from '09 for * A 6. The following men are back: Bros.Moon, Sylvester, Dann and Haight from '06; Bros. Waters and Bishop from'07 and Bros. Moore, Shutler, Bell, Peck, Vogt, Hafley, Jewell and Trumanfrom '08. Bro. Hall, '06, expects to enter college late.We have lost from the chapter Bros. Richards, Elliott and Davidson, allof whom will be greatly missed, Bro. Elliott has entered the University ofPennsylvania and Bros. Richards and Davidson were unable to return.Thus far we have succeeded in pledging three good men, Fred W. Pettitof Avoca. N. Y.; Louis Mangham of Tenaflv, N. J.; and Doane Guardinierof East Springfield, N. Y.The past summer has seen several improvements in the college buildingsthe most important of which are the remodeling and improvements made inboth the chemical and physical laboratories. Ground has been broken for anew engineering building and work on this will proceed at once. Seven newmen have been added to the faculty this fall to take the places of four whohave resigned and to facilitate the work of some of the others.Union expects great things from her football team this fall, as but threeof last year's men were lost by graduation and the entering class offers muchpromising material. * A O is represented with almost more than her shareof men on the team—Bros. Dann (captain), Moore, Peck and Shutler havemade the training table and Bros. Vogt and Jewell are on the scrub. Theteam under the able coaching of "Bill" Cronkite, '04, is fast rounding intoshape and it is hoped will make a good showing against Columbia in thefirst game September 30.We had hoped to be in a new house this fall, but as yet we have beenunable to secure the necessary amount to go ahead, so for the present weare forced to remain in our now somewhat cramped quarters, in the hopethat next fall, perhaps, we may at least have broken ground for a house ofour own on the campus.
