Tho large pipe organ which now stands in the new chapel is the gift of tho alumni of our university, and it perhaps would not bo amiss to freshen the minds of our readers upon the facts surrounding this gift. The organ was purchased at a cost of three thousand dollars from the trans-Mississippi exposition commis sioners. Of this amount twenty-five hundred dollars was pledged by the alumni and tho deraainlng flvo hun urcd, Director Kimball of tho school of music very kindly agreed to raise through recitals. Tho alumni have paid two thousand dollars, and there are many who have subscribed but as yet have not paid. Mr. Kimball has contributed thrco hundred and fifty dollars of his share. This leaves about six- hundred and fifty dollars balance to bo paid, in addition to the interest due, tho dobt having drawn bIx per cent interest for nearly two .yearn. Tho committeo on dedication com posed of Mrs. Haruy, Paul F. Clark, W. O. Jones, ti. G. Shcdd, Mr. Flath erty and Professor Fossler, had or iginally intended to dedicate the organ on tho coming charter day, condition ally that all the pledges should be jpald in by that tlmo. There only re mains a small part of tho sum to be paluy and tho committeo earnestly hopes that those who have subscribed and not paid will call and do so im mediately. It is their wish that they may turn this organ ovor to tho uni versity entirely free from debt. There are a number who reside near to the university who have not paid their pledges and to these tho committee especially appeals. Tho committeo al so wishes the addresses of all tho don ors, that they may bo printed on small circulars, or so-called programs to bo used on the day of dedication. Prof. Candy has received several or ders for his new book on Analytic Geometry, from other universities, some wish to adopt tho book while others ask to Inspect n. Miss Rachel Carr, a graduate of the university and for two years an in structor at tho State Farm, has been added to tho teaching force of the Lin coln Academy.
