Here, as at noother event in the year, the students meet on a common basis.Meadville, October 3, 1903.BRUCE WRIGHT.PENNSYLVANIA EPSILON. DICKINSON COLLEGE.Dickinson opened her one hundred and twenty-first year with abrighter outlook than ever before in her history. The matriculationsin the college department were ninety-five—twenty more than lastyear, and the preparatory school is more than correspondingly large.The prospects for the law school, which opens on the 7th inst., arealso encouraging.The '03 class took ten from our number, and Bros. Swift, '04, andBuckingham, '06, do not return, kiiving us but twelve men to startthe year with, including Bros. Wilcox and Gordon, who are yet to returnto the law school. By graduation we lost Bro. Malick, nowteaching in the Shamokin high school; Bro. Robert Stuart, in businessin Carlisle; Bro. Hugh Stuart, who is with the Lancaster steelworks; Bro. Gray, pastor of the Willow Grove, Pa., M. E. church;Bro. Everhart, who enters the medical department of the Universityof Pennsylvania; Bro. Appleman, now teaching in the Swarthmorepreparatory school; Bro. Haideman, traveling for Wright, Kay &Co., fraternity jewelers; Bro. Tomkinson, teaching in Dickinson preparatoryschool, and Bro. Kress, practicing law in Fairmount, W.Va. Bro. Gordon was also graduated, but returns to the law department.Bro. Swift, '04, is now real estate editor of the BaltimoreMorning Herald, and Bro. Buckingham, '06, has gone to Cuba tostudy the growth of tobacco.Our ten returning men congratulate themselves on having pledgedthe flower of the freshman class. We have now initiated and takepleasure in introducing to the fraternity these seven men: WilliamH. Hoffman, '06, Montgomery, Pa.; Austen B, Conn, '07, Baltimore,Md,; Collins Keller,'07, Carlisle, Pa.; Lee Roy E. Keeley, '07, Franklin,Pa.; Charles Kurtz, '07, Altoona, Pa.; Carl O. Benner, '07, Coatesville,Pa., and Carl Gehring, '07, Carlisle, Pa.Our pledged men are George L. Kress, '07, and George P. Beck,*o8. We have not yet completed our rushing season, and have brightprospects for more good material.We are very glad to have with us, this year, Bro. Thomas P. Endicott,formerly of North Carolina Beta, who is taking a special course;and Bro. Herbert F. Laub, of Pennsylvania Alpha, who will enterthe law school. Thus, with twenty-one men and prospects for two orthree more, we start the year with a pleasant outlook.Our football team is the best we have had for several years. CoachHutchins has had them at work since the last of August, and thegood effect of his training has been clearly seen in the three gamesplayed. We won from Albright College, 45-0. and held Pennsylvaniadown to 27-0. The game with Steelton Y. M. C. A. was lost—score 6-0, but this was encouraging when we consider that they beatus last year 28-0. Bros. H. Smith, Cramer, Endicott and Hoffmanrepresent us on the team. Bro. Ralph Smith, who is the footballmanager, has arranged a schedule of hard games, but we hope forsuccess under the direction of Coach Hutchins.Carlisle, October 5, 1903.WM, H. CHEESMAN.
