ONLY seven Freshmen have so far joined the Athletic Association. Freshmen are reminded that every one connected with the University must be a member of the Association in order to gain admittance to the approaching tournaments at the Gymnasium. All who wish to join the association are requested to call at the Secretary's room, 29 Weld...
...that they can make their calculations for the work of the rest of the year accordingly.

But I am sure that by such behavior a man gains...
