As the number of alumni increases, the task of keeping an up-to-date directory of the whole body grows more and more difficult, and it becomes necessary that we should have the co-operation of every individual to keep the list even approximately correct. During the past few years, through removals and other changes, the correct addresses of many of our graduates have not been obtained. Many names upon the list to-day are marked "unknown." This is clearly a condition of affairs which should not exist. The college should be in actual touch with every graduate on its roll, and each one should feel interest enough in his alma mater to inform those who have the matter in.

In the interests both of the college themselves, we desire to make the alumni direcand its present institutions and of the alumni tory as full and correct as possible, and in order to do this, we publish below the names of a few whose whereabouts are unknown to us. Will any one kindly volunteer information concerning them, or any other graduate of Tufts ?

The class of '97 has voted to publish a short history of Tufts college next year, in the place of the regular college annual. This history will include sketches of the lives of many of the most noted graduates of the college, and will contain a large number of illustrations. While the famous college annual is of necessity a book of present value only, it is believed that this history will increase in value from year to year, not only to undergraduates but to all of Tufts's sons, wherever they may be.

The Freshmen and Sophomores had a lively skirmish after the class foot-ball game, which was very much enjoyed by the faculty, upper classmen, and visiting friends, on account of the ludicrousness of the scene. The Freshmen were advancing in a well-formed wedge up through the green, back of Barnum Museum, when they met the Sophomores formed in three crowds for attack. When the two classes were about to meet, the '98 men were thrown into confusion by a violent assault from three sides. There ensued a friendly hand-to-hand combat; and while the '97 men were searching for the flags, which they expected to find in a neat little bundle, one of the Freshmen escaped and found his way to East Hall with a few of the flags, at least, hidden in his clothes, and it announced that '98 had won the flag

The annual Freshman-Sophomore foot-ball game, which was played Tuesday afternoon, November 27, proved a great surprise to the students. From a foot-ball standpoint, the game was not a brilliant exhibition, although the determination with which the whole Freshman eleven played is worthy of commendation.

Ninety-seven, whose team, comprises a large share of the players in the college eleven, should certainly have scored more than six points on her far weaker opponent. The Sophomores, feeling practically sure of the victory, failed to enter the game with the same dash and spirit that characterized the playing of

the Freshmen.

Ball.

from which Knowlton failed to kick a goal. During the first half, on a slightly questionable decision of the referee, Gilman made a safety.

The game itself was devoid of any special features. Throughout, the playing was slow and lifeless, especially in the case of the Sophomores. Nevertheless, to the students who had gathered to witness the game, it proved not wholly uninteresting.

Knowlton opened the game by kicking off for '97. Haws caught the ball and advanced it ten yards; '98 was unable to gain more and Haws punted. By slow, short rushes '97 advanced the ball into the territory of the Freshmen, and in just five minutes from the time of the opening play, Nash crossed the line for a touchdown. Haws No goal was kicked. kicked off for '98, and Knowlton secured the ball within '97's ten-yard line. From here it was carried down the field until Robinson fumbled. Gilman secured the ball, but being tackled by Davis touched it down behind his own goal, thus scoring a safety.

For the remainder of the first half and the

whole of the second the ball was chiefly in the territory of the Freshmen, but no further scoring was done. During the last minute of the game Butterfield was pushed over the line, but the referee refused to allow the touchdown. The summary :
