years the varsity has twice a year taken on colgate both here and at hamilton and each time has been beaten in the past two boys by the names of livermore and kennedy have usually turned the trick for colgate livermore by his long shots and kennedy by his fine dribbling and his punch in the pinches this year livermore was gone but nevertheless kennedy seemed suffic ient for colgate defeated buffalo easily earlier in the yeur largely through his efforts saturday night proved that kenne dy makes colgates team for the varsity stopped him and thus stopped colgate capt lou farris who has in past years been the victim of kennedy's good work retaliated in full measure lou closed his basketball career by holding kennedy scoreless from the field and rang in 13 point through five baskets and three

club talk pleads for good conduct as example to successors never has there been a time de clared dean alden last tuesday at the men's club when the laws of the country have been treated with so much disrespect as they are tcday the attitude of the people toward one law he continued affects their atti tude toward all laws and this is seen in the situation arising from the eighteenth amendment and the vol stead act many citizens dissatis fied with that regulation not only dis regard it but glory in their disregard thus making it easy for the rise of a whole class of persons who live by means of their criminality that a law is unpopular is by no means a reason or justification for disobedience nor is the plea that it may interfere with private rights in the least tenable the abolition of opium traffic interferes with private rights and justly for opium is a poison capable of great harm to the community which must safeguard itself likewise with liquor and the law regulating the manufacture and sale of it differs not in kind but only in degree from that which regulates the use of opium disobedience to one is equally a crime as disobedience to the other and is equally reprehensible especially is that true in a country like ours where it is the people them selves who make the laws that fact renders it peculiarly their duty to obey them and it is only by obedience to law that men show themselves worthy of the great privilege of amer ican citizenship dr keene is called to harvard university dr charles h keene professor of hygiene of director of physical edu cation

for members of the faculty and their wives given by the women's club in the girls room at foster hall from three to five o'clock on march 17 dr williams takes prehistoric man for lecture topic says we may now be in an interglacial period the last of the series of faculty lectures was delivered tuesday march 9 by dr h u williams professor of pathology and bacteriology on the subject of pre-historic man dr wil liams stated that his purpose was simply to present the facts which he had had the opportunity to gather both at first hand and from many famous archaeologists and to allow his audience to draw their own con clusions the material was presented in a most interesting manner through the use of stereopticon slides dr wil liams was able to pile up a mass of evidence in a short time proving the antiquity of man iron beads for in stance have been found in egypt dating thousands of years b.c in java as late as 1891 skulls of the pithecanthropus and orang were found by dubois from the size and shape of the cranial cavity it is pos sible to assert that the brain of the pithecanthropus was much more highly developed than that of the ape and probably the former approached the ability to speak very closely var ious other skulls flints of different forms and art work of considerable skill were pictured by dr williams but he stressed the fact of the extra ordinary conservatism of earliest man for centuries no advancement was made at all beginning with the neanderthal man some progress was made increasing with the cave artists and gathering momentum up to mod ern times dr williams discussed the glacial and interglacial periods showing how evidence has been gathered through excavations and discoveries of differ ent types of bones to determine these periods it is not unlikely said dr williams that we are now in an inter-glacial period which will be suc ceeded by another advance of the ice that will come down over this coun try to an extent which it is difficult to determine particular attention was called to the work of the french areheaologists who have perhaps made the greatest contributions to this field and accom plished what others have been unable to do 1 ; little can be done in the united states of course since not much h#s been found up to date in the line of convincing evidence even the very ancient gravel beds of america of the middle glacial period though similar to those of england yield none of the relics found elsewhere in the world the lecture given by dr williams marks the conclusion of the second year of such lectures given by mem
