There arenow 75 men out on the football squad and the coach expects to produce somegood results with the material on hand. The new gymnasium will be completedearly in the spring much to the delight of all the students.Dr. Jesse, the president of the university, is still in Europe, where he willremain until April when he will again take up his duties as president.Columbia, September 24, 1905.H. B. BECKETT.MISSOURI BETA, WESTMINSTER COLLEGE.The opening of Westminster has been more promising this year than anyyear heretofore. Already about 175 have registered and more are comingall the time. We expect to have at least 200 men in the next week. Dr.Kerr has been untiring in his efforts and to him belongs the honor of such anincrease.We have the same faculty with the addition of Mr. Ben F. Farber, agraduate of Hanover College. Mr. Farber is assisting in the academic departmentand is also football and baseball coach. So far Mr. Farber hasproven himself to be an able man and "knows the game," so we expect himto turn out a strong team this year. The prospects for a winning footballteam this year are indeed bright. The squad consists of about 30 men, includingthe very best material in college and we expect to have a teamaveraging at least 165 pounds. * A 9 has several men in the squad and weexpect Bro. Calvird, who has played left tackle for Westminster for twoyears, and Bro. Harrison, to make the team, while one or two other Phishave a good show.All the fraternities opened strong. K A returned 14 active members andI pledge; B 9 II returned 8 active members; $ A 9 returned the following8 active members: John J. Rice, Jr., Tureman Marguess, R. S. McKee,Bertram T. Harvey, Charles A. Calvird, Jr., W. E. E. Koepler, DwightPowell, D. R. Harrison and two pledges, R. H. Stevens, Jr., and Sam K.Black. We have already initiated R. H. Stevens and as the new material ispromising, we expect to have a very strong chapter.As October 27 is the 25th anniversary of the founding of the MissouriBeta chapter, we intend that it shall be duly celebrated and we expect atleast fifty old Phis back. We extend an invitation to all Phis and especiallyto those from Missouri Beta to attend.Progress is being made in the raising of money for a chapter house andwe hope to get one before long. Missouri Beta is the pioneer in this matterat Westminster and we have had many discouragements. The chapter deeplyappreciates the honor that has come to it in the selection of Bro. E. C. Hendersonas a member of the chapter house commission.Of last year's chapter Bros. Mason A. Lewis is this year at Dartmouthand Charles D. Sevier at Colorado.Dr. D. K. Kerr is to be installed as president of Westminster Collegeabout the last of October, and quite a number of the alumni are expectedback at that time. We hope there will be a large number of Phis amongthem.D- R- HARRISON.Fulton, September 19, 1905.
