Students who fail to patronize the check
room must not complain even though
they do lose an overcoat or a book, now
and then. The misfortune is due to their
own neglect.
It is very encouraging to see the inter
est which is being manifest in the college
settlement. Both faculty and students
are begining to realize that the settlement
is an institution which has come to stay,
and that it is something with which each
one of us ought in some way to be allied.
People outside of the university are be
ginning to recognize the importance of
this work and to sympathise with its
motives.
We commend the. striking grit and
enterprise with which the class of '98
are pushing their annual. This publica

the university's standing and ability,
and should have the support of every
student. Its pages will represent (v.v
We like the ring of President Garter's
oration. We may augment the importance
of scholorship and land to the skies in

That we can not afford to do away with

is no reason why wTe should. President
Graham of tliG local association says:
"The cause for the decline of oratory
is due more to a lack of interest than
lack of material. A university having
an enrollment of fifteen hundred stu
dents, has among that number those who
have talent to justify encouragement in
this kind of work. In days gone by the
university has been successful. No rea
son can be given why, by proper encour
agement, we should not send forth stu

tests would be an honor to their Atm"
Mates."
"At the last mooting of the association
a resolution to withdraw from the inter
collegiate association was defeated. It
was decided to hold a local contest."
"The local contest will be held the 5th
