Commencing with this morning's issue, the CRIMSON will publish a daily calender of the more important Faculty and undergraduate engagements under the title "What is Going on Today." This column will contain the present University Calendar and brief notices of all other meetings and athletic contests open to the public or to the University. Each notice will give only the hour, the name of the organization, the place, and, in cases of lectures, the subject and speaker.

Some very interesting figures have been gathered and put in the form of a table showing a comparison between the number of men in Congress from some of the eastern colleges. In order that the size of the college might not affect the comparison, the figures in the last column were compiled. They express the ratio of the men in Congress to the number in a graduating class twenty years ago. The size of a class twenty years ago was taken, because that is about the time the average Congressman graduated. The ratios for the different colleges are approximately...
