Sov oral college songs wero brought by the mom bors, and an exquisite little poem was read by Professor Batos. The discoveries made in various depart ments from time to timo, should, in the in terest of progress, bo given to the world.

Lassct uns beten. The Dramatic Olub of the TIniversty is now ready to make its debut. They will present two pieces: "Open Gates, with Oarl Tucker, Miss Maude Rissor, Miss Josephine Lottridgo and I.

That it the message was made up of 14,000 words. That 0. A. E. Holmes has joined E. McNiol in boycotting the barbers' trust. That tho number of v flunks Monday morning was "awful" in the extreme.
