A huge pile composed of rubbish of all sorts,—portions of old build ings, fences, and every kind of in flammable material had been erect ed on the green between the two colleges. Material for the bonfire had been collected by crews of students who had scoured town and country, thus adding a third "clean up" day to the two decreed by the City Fathers of Newark. To the credit of the "clean up" sys tem let it be said that comparative ly .little inflammable material could be secured legitimately with in the town limits. Kind hearted supporters of the Blue and Gold made valuable contributions to the blaze and others equally zealous made wholly involuntary contribu tions. The night was perfectly calm and the blaze rose skyward sending showers of sparks which fell harm lessly in the immediate vicinity of the bonfire. In the absence of J.
