Also home- __spuns and tweeds, with “or without fringe, c;:: culars or wrap-aroun variously priced From $7.25 to ’25.50 justly famed for three things: For its tradition, for its spirit and for its alumni. The halls of 0ld Nassau have been open to a nation. Representatives of every community and district of the United States have entered the wide portals and, in turn, have gone forth, leav- ing the tradition enriched and the spirit stronger. Men of a whole na- tion Have come and gone, yet none have made it richer or left it greater than the men of Washington, and none are held more dearly by the old New Jersey college than these | same men from the nation’s capital! There are now listed 232 in the directory of living alumni who claim as their home the Capital city. In addition to these, there are forty-odd more in the undergraduate lists of the college. These men from Washington have played and are continuing to play a tremendous part in the development and expansion of Princeton. * k% x ¥ times past it has been the cus- tom of many of the old and promi- nent Washington families to send their sons exclusively to Princeton. Among the more outstanding repre- sentatives during the last genera- tion have been the families of the Kings, the Dunlops, the Phillips, the Blairs and the Kauffmanns. There are at present five living alumni of the King family, all resid- ling in Washington and representing iclasses from 1893 to 1919. In num- bers the Kauffmanns stand second, with four graduates of Princeton, while the Dunlops, Phillips and Blairs have three each. | Foremost in the list of Washing- ton's alumni, and it might well be sald In the natlon's alumnl, stands Woodrow Wilson. Most people know him as the great war President. Princeton University remembers him as her owr president. A member of the famous class of 1879, Woodrow Wilson was elected to the presidency of the university In June, 1902, and was inaugurated the following October. During hisadmin- Istration the undergraduate course of study was revised, the famous pre- ceptorial method of Instruction was established, the faculty was strength- ened immensely and a set of new buildings added. including a new recitation building, laboratories for physics, electrical engineering, bi- ology and geology, and several dormi- tories. The great mind gave its best to Old Nassau and rendered services that are well-nigh invaluable. As one of the younger alumni, Henry S. Breckinridge of the -class of 1907, has met ‘with most phenomenal suc- cess. Having practiced law for a Iit- tle Jess than three years, he became in April, 1913, the youngest assistant Secretary of War the natlon has ever had. He handed in his resignation in 1916 and offered his services for over- PRH\CETOV UNIVERSITY s at St. Mihiel, the "Argonme and at Aimens. After being cited, he was placed on the general staff of the 5th United States Army Corps and served- with this to the end of the war, returning to Washington to re- sume Ris practice of law. * Ok ok % VWASHINGTON'S poundaries in- close numerous other Princeton men well known in both public and private life. Among these are: Ed- ward Arthur Ballock, 1877, one time dean of the medical department of Howard University and ex-president of the Medical Association of the District of Columbia; Ricpard D. Har- lan, 1881, well known éducator and ex-president of the Lake Forest (1) College; James §. Harlan, 1883, broth- er of R. D. Harlan, formerly attorney general of Porto Rico, and a member of the United States Interstate Com- merce Commission; Victor Kauff- mann, 1889, treasurer of the Wash- Ington Star; Mahlon Pitney, 1879, ex- Representative in Congress and As- sociate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and Robert Sterling Yard, 1883, editor of the New York Herald from 1891 to 1900, and for- mer editor-in-chief of “the Century Magasine. , But this atory is not about Wash- ington’s past with regard to Prince- ton, but concerns’primarily the pres- ent generation, the undergraduate classes of 1922, 1928 and 1924 At the beginning of the academic year there were forty-seven Wash- ington boys at Princeton. When com- pared with the total enrollment of two thousand, this number seems | small. However, it is not by quantity, but”“by quality that the Washington boys shine. The District of Columbia ranks ninth among the states in the number of her sons sent to Princeton this year. New *York, New Jersey, Pernsylvania, Ohlo, Illinols, Maryland, Missouri and Massachusetts outnum- ber her in the order named. But none of these states, including New Yerk, with its 553 men in the coll ranks Washington in the q ber sons, I other words, in ber of men who “do” things around the campus. out- %% TBE verwatflity of Washington's sons Is ably shown in the wide seope of their extra-curriculum aotivi- ties, which embrace nearly every one of the athletic and non-athletlo in- terests. ‘Men 'from the capital ecity are to be found on the Daily Pringe- tonian, the Princeton Tiger and the Nasssu Literary Magasine, whhh Tep- resents - respectively endeavor _in Journalism,. humorous. writing ' uld genuine literary effort. In dramatic, there are three representatives in the Princeton Triangle Club, which pro- duced the musical comedy success, “Espanola,” last winter. In.the two clubs which bring world- famous men before their members to address them, Washington may olalm both the presidency of the Interna- ional Polity Club and the presidency »f the Freneau Qlub. Besides these, Wutlnlnm is represented on the] ‘Gouncil, the Spea! gwm .‘q the debating “teams of the aniyersity. nalmmn are tha city's'mea in Bthletics. Two members of this year's championship varsity basket ball team and one' from the champlonship freshman . quintet are from Washing- ton. The varsity foot ball and base ball squads clatm one-fourth of the entire quota, while, in additidn, her sons hold places on the track, socoer, tennis, golf and swimming teams. Washington also is represented by the manager of next year's freshman basket ball team and a number of candidates In the various managerial ‘competitions of this spring. b * % % % TANDING out as one of the leads ers of the senior.class is Charles Denby, jr., nephew of the present Secretary of the Navy.,In addition, to ranking among the highest of his Ylass, having recelved his Phi Beta Kappa key last March in recognition of high academic standing, this Wash- ington 1ad holds several of the most important positlons on the campus, Denby s a member of the senior council of the university, a group of fifteen seniors who practically “run” the college, being given jurisdiction over all matters concerning under- graduate life on the campus. A place on the board of the Dalily Princetonian Is considered one of the most desirable and at the same time one of the most difficult positions ta obtain. For the last year Denby has served 4% editorial chairman of the paper, having made the board three years ago. As president of the In- ternational Polity Club, he leads an organization which brings before it every year such men as Otto H. Kahn, Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor and Dr. George Edgar Vincent to address it at its banquets. Young Denby has shown his leaning toward matters of political interest from the beginning of his college career. As a member of the Speak- ers’ Association, he traveled to New York several times to speak before city gatherings on campaign issues, both at the time of the presidential election and at that for mayor of the city. During the Harding-Cox campalgn he was chosen as president of the Princeton Republican Club. In recognition of his abilities in publio speaking. he has been made a mem- ber of the national honorary debating jfraternity, Delta Sigma Rho. When the Washington conference Wwas about to be called, Denby ‘was in- | strumental in bringing about Prince- ton's collegiate conference, and later became chairman of the national stu- dent committee for the limitation of armaments, which included members ! from 250 colleges. Denby is on the cabinet of the Phildelphian Society, which is the Student Christian Asso- clation of Princeton University. * % * REMOST in the eyes of the um- dergraduate body of the university last winter were the members of the ‘varsity basket ball team, which won the championship of the Intercollegiate League. Two of the regulars on Prince- seas duty, taking, part in the fighting| ton’s first championship quintet were Washington boys, Thedphilus Stockton Gaines, 1923, and Murray Foster, 1924. The latter was captain of his fresh- man five and played left guard on this year's ‘varsity. In his first year Fos- ter was aiso on the yearling foot ball and base ball squads. Gaines trans- ferred to Princton two years ago from West Virginia, and hap been a member of the Omelette foot ball team in 1920 and the scrub team In 1921, as well as on the Nassau basket ball team in 1921, ™ Asso- [l Richard A. Newby, another sopho- more, was a regular substitute for ‘varsity halfback last year, and is one of the likely candidates for next fall's Closing Out One Lot Black Sateen Bloomer Dresses The sale price of $1 is one- half less than wholsesale cost.

Ralph Gorman Hills, president of the freshman class, bids fair to be one of the greatest track stars Princeton has ever had. Last winter he broke the National A. A. U. indoor record for the shot-put and is now titleholder for that event, In addition to holding the university record, which fell this spring. Hills Is also frst man in the hammer and discus throws and the high hurdles. The big fellow weighs slightly over 200 and Is six feet four inches tall, yet he clears the bar- riers in 16 seconds or better. £ % x ¥ I.\' the Triangle Club, whicl is the official dramatic society of Prince- ton, are James A. Milholland, 1922; Vail Motter, 1922, and Alexander Mc- Cook Dunlop, 1923. Clarence Le Roy Parker, a sophomore, is stage man- ager of the club for the season of Il!:l having won the managerial com- | petition which has just ended. Thomas Blanton, 1923, son of Rep- resentative Blanton, who has been on years and was on his freshman crew squad, was elected captain of next year's rifiemen by the lettermen of {the team. James H. Lemon is a prom- ising candidate for next year's basket ball five, having been regular forward on the championship freshman team, which won twelve decisive victories ls\lld lost to none. i Robert Lewls, & sophomore, holds another of the coveted positions on lthe editorial board of the Dally Princetonian, and is also a member of the International Polity Club. Vail Motter, besides being enrolled in the ranks of the Triangle Club, holds a place on the editorlal board of the Princeton Tiger, the undergraduate humorous monthly. On the same board is Cicero Hunt Lewis, who is a member of the International Polity Club and Theater Intime. and is the manager of this year's freshman base ball team. MRS, N. C.
