The program is Invariably carefully re hearsed. The medal winners seldom dis play a disconcerting nervousness and fre quently behave like veterans! The selec tions are chosen to show the soloists at their best, and are perfectly mastered and capably rendered. Then each participant In turn receives his or her bundle of flow ers as the tribute of admiring friends to promislrg genius and everyone applauds, In the program Isaac VanQrove played to movements of the' Mendelssohn G minor concerto; Miss Leonora Antoinette Allen sang an aria from "'Romeo and Juliette;' Miss Pauline Schmidt played a violin solo Walter Rudolph gave with perfect poise and assurance , a brilliantly clear tone and exceptional technical facility the Pader ewskl polonaise; Miss Fern Gramling sang "My Heart Is Weary;" Pauline Alfonte played the Bruch G minor concerto for vlo 1U-; Mlsa Mary Elizabeth Hlghsmlth sang an aria from Verdi's '"Ernanl," and Miss Grace Huedefeldt played the Chopln-Nlcode "Allegro de Concert.".

In spite of the Chang of wardens during the year, necessitated by the consecration of Dr. Robinson to the episcopate, the year thus passed has been a prosperous one, and Rev. Dr. Shero en ters upon his career as warden with every promise of success. It Is gratifying to 'notice the names of Omaha boys among the winners of prizes both in scholarships and athletics.

' A locral papei- -of Tren ton, Mo., has the' following to' 'eay: Saturday resembled a- street fair. Mis souri Auction school furnished the noise, the county furnished the crowd. A stranger passing through town Saturday would have found It hard to believe that a show, street fair, or some unusual attraction' was not here. All the characteristic accompani ments, the crowd, the noise, the buyers, the sellers were here In force. The large class of the Missouri Auction school held perhaps the most spectacular of their regu lar street sales on that day. All the class was on hand In the work and at one time eight sales were being cried at the same time, the property consisted of handker chiefs, horses and baled hay, and almost everything else you might name. From five to seven auctioneers were In progress the greater part of the evening." Kansas Weileysn. Prof. T. W. Roach, retiring president of the Kansas Wesieyan University, and still president' of the Kansas Wesieyan Dusl ness college, has gone to Europe for a much needed rest. Five years ago he took charge of the university when It was In a deplorable financial condition. The Institution Is now out of debt and he has secured two new buildings, one of them a fins dormitory for young ladles that will accommodate 100 girls. The other Is a Carnegie science hall. Another gift of $14,000 will soon be realized. Other Improve ments have been made that have largely lncreaaed the value of the property and the attendance. Insignia for Scholarship. A movement is on foot In Harvard to give men of high scholarship some Insignia to wear. As It is now Insignia Is given only to athletes, who are permitted to wear the "H" on their sweaters, thus presenting the spectacle of a great lnstl tutlon of learning awarding honors for athletic skill and not for scholarship. As the real scholars of the university do not wear sweaters, It Is proposed to substitute some other InBignla for the "It." and doubtless the real scholars would prefer an Insignia that would show them to be such and differentiate them from the mere jumpers and foot ball players. The matter will come before the student coun ell early In the fall. Life on th Campus. At Yale and Princeton there Is a gravi tatlon towards centralization of life on the campus by bringing- more students to live on the college grounds. At Yale a much larger number of the sophomore class wli live on the campus than formerly, and at Princeton the building of a freshman dor roltory will bring a largur number of the first year men upon the campus than hitherto.

TV-nre tlonel Notes. Nearly fifty women took degrees at New York university, and seated on the stage at commencement was Mrs. Ttiissell Sage, who is such a good friend of women ami all things In which they are interested. Helen Gray Cone was made master of letters, an unusual honorary degree for a woman to take. Chancellor MacCracken of New York uni versity says that college men fritter away too much time at college, and President Hadley of Yale declured the other day at Uryn Mawr that the perpetual danger of the college is over specialization and dilet tantism. He said, however, that these faults have manifested themselves less In women's than In men's colleges. Dartmouth college Is discussing the ques tion of a successor to President Tucker, whose retirement on account of 111 health Is expected Boor-. One of the men promi nently mentioned for the place Is Repre sentative Samuel W. McCall of Winches ter, Mass., an alumnus of Dartmouth. A report from Hanover, N.

'1 he 'us graduating class of the Colorado Agricultural college will Include thirteen talented young women who, having com pleted an accredited high school course, will be graduated from the two-year nor mal domestic science course. As a gradua tion requirement, these young women have each fashioned a gown of approved style, the cost of which was limited to 10. The instructor In domestic art, Miss Reiecea lt.
