Kind of 7 its new president James Bryant Conant, who succeeds the venerable A. Lawrence Lowell, who recently resigned at the age of 76. Dr. Conant is only 40, one of the youngest of Harvard’s 25. presidents, All his univérsity career as student and teacher has been spent at Harvard, Wliere he has béen head of the chemistry department since 1931. _He is the second scientist to be chosen as head of this gréat aniversity; the late Charles W. Eliot hav- hig also been a professor of chemistry. His predecessor, Dr. Lowell, was a lawyer. Previous to the appointment of Dr. Elliott in 1869, all presidents of Harvard had | », been clergynien: Harvard now has more than 8,000 students and about 1,200 teachers, and’ is | 3s the outgrowth of a modest college founded in 1636, by a grant of $2,000 by the Massa- thusetts Bay Colony. It was named for Jolin Harvard, a non-conformist clergy- than of that day, who-at his death. be- queathed his library of 260 volumes: and half of his estate to the institution. The first) brick building at Harvard was used as a dormitory for 20 Indian : students, of whom, however, only one was uated, The school has beew almést entirely supported by ‘donations since its beginning, but at one time, during the pres- idéency of George Washington, ‘it derived |’ large revenues from a grand lottery, with capital prizes as high as $20,000. Of all Harvard’s presidents, Dr. Eliot; who served for 40 years, from 1869 to 1909, was perhaps the most able and scholarly, retaining his factilties atid in- fluence until his death in 1926 at the age of 92. Beginning his presidency at such an early age, Dr. Conant should have an equally long period of ‘useful service be- fore him. ORIGIN OF BASEBALL While baseball as we know it, is a spert of comparatively recent develop- ment, a game in which a tossed ball was batted with a rude club has been tfaced baek to the 14th century in Europe. The presént Ameéri¢an game was probably an outgrowth of that of “town ball,” played } in’ Néw England from about 1830, in which the faris were made around posts set in the ground, instead of bases. The first code of baseball rules was formulated by the Knickerbocker elub of New York in 1845, the first match game was played the followitig year, and the first gate money series of games took place at. Hoboken in 1858. The development of the game was checked by the Civil War, but was revived in 1865, when a conven- tion was held at which répresentativés of 80 clubs were present. A Rockfort, Ill., team first employed regularly salaried players, but the Cincin- nati Red Stockings, organized in 1869, is considered the first professional club. It made a tour in 1869, winning 69 games -In 1870 it won 29 straight games beitig defeated in thé 30th by the Atlanties of Brooklyn. Gamblers having gotten control of the game, a convention was held in Louis- ville in 1876, at which strict rules to over- come bribery, betting by players and other abuses were adopted and the National League was formed. There are now more than 20 professional leagues, of which the National and the American, or- iginally the Western, (formed by “ Ban Johnson in 1893) are the two “big leagues.” The most significant event in base- ball history was the appointment of Judge Keneshaw Mountain Landis as “baseball czar’ in 1920. SPEEDERS CONDEMNED The Citizen agrdes with the Provi- déncé Daily Journal recently quoted in the Pathfinder, that certain dangerous prac- tices of reckless young men should have been stopped. The Journal said: “We have a number of youtig men who from thoughtlessness drive through our streets with their horses at full trot, to the imminent danger of their own and the lives of others; they appear regardless of con- Sequences, to a degree actually criminal.” The date of the newspaper is October 17, 1829. When twenty-five thousand people work for the railroads in Florida it is high time to fofget about abusing this system of transportation.—Lake City Reporter. < ACROSS Medieval clock in the form of a ship 4 Wrong | 9.
