Encina Club room. One of the most unique features of the dance was the grand march, which executed the figures "'08." According to the Prom Committee, who conceived this plan, it can not be repeated until the class of 1980. Taken as a whole, the year has been busy, eventful, successfulextraordinarily successful, and although the work of recounting this spring's victories belongs to the 1909 QUAD, so vitally are they a part of the present college year that we can not refrain from mentioning them. In 1906-07, Stanford has won the Varsity football game, the Carnot Medal, the Intercollegiate track meet, the first eight-oared regatta, Inter 1908 WINS AGAIN Stanford Quad 1908 collegiate tennis, and Intercollegiate baseball (for the first time since 1898). The University of California won chess-but one of the Stanford players was disabled. In a scholastic line, a marked change has been apparent. The standard of work has been noticeably raised, and residence at the University has been made much more problematical. Yet, with some eighty-eight Christmas exceptions, the relations between the students and faculty have been better and more confidential than ever before. There has been more than usual excitement in literary tion of the Sophomore class. The consecutive contests to ferret out the winner, followed by the other class and the student-body elections, have made the ballot-box almost a permanent fixture on the Quadrangle. One of the changes in University policy which has done a little toward altering the serenity of campus life is the allowing of automobiles on certain roads and driveways. And whereas in the old days of exclusion the atmosphere was quiet and scholarly, at the present time it is full of dust and the siren whistling of flying machines. The University has become a magnet for all the automobiles in the Santa Clara Valley-which is not at all surprising, for it is a good place to come. But while their first entrance seemed novel enough to merit mention as an event of the year, yet the campus soon ceased to give them notice and became engrossed again in its own affairs.
