has been called dogmatic, but it is the dog

It is hoped that the Chancellor's ellbrts to
secure the best of everything for the Uni

future.
After Dr. Von Hoist had finished, the vari

took their seats at the long rows of tables.
They were followed by the Seniors, whose
approach was greeted with applause.
From this time until 5 :20, gaiety and good

regret of all present, it was necessary for the
eminent historian to leave early iti the after
noon. The responses made wore of the us
uol nature, compounded of good feeling and
class history. They were much enjoyed,
and most of them were vigorously applauded.
