Lieut. Pershing has been transferred
to Washington. It will be remembered
that he was stationed at Fort Assinna
boine after leaving here. The officer
whose aide he is now went west to hunt
and Lieut. Pershing, with the finesse
which has always characterized his
movem'ents, made himself very useful
and agreeable to the officer in question.
So much so that separation from the
unselfish and accommodating Pershing,
when duty called him back to Wash
ington, was painful if not impossible.
As soon as he got back to his quarters,
the officer, whose name is unfortunate
ly not at hand, bestirred himself to
get the fascinating Pershing appointed
on his staff and it was done. Since
the Washington detail the lieutenant
has entered society and is really popu
lar. He used to intimate to his friends
here that he would go gunning when
ever the game was worth his while.
Report says that his long wait and
careful aim are to be rewarded. One
of the two remaining daughters of Mr.
Leiter is said to contemplate rewarding

body was determined to have a good
time and many college and fraternity
yells, besides new ones manufactured
for the occasion, were indulged In.
These were Interspersed with the sing
ing of "John Jones" by P. B. D. C.'s
and "Forty-eight bottles hanging on
the wall" from start to finish, by the
Wesleyanltes. All this served as intro
duction to the conflict of words which
followed.
The question as understood by the
P. B. D. C.'s read: "Resolved, That de
nominational colleges and universities
are contributing more toward civiliza
tion than similar state institutions."
Mr. Sams of Wesleyan had the opening
and closing speeches. Mr. Matson in

tion. The speakers on both, sides ably
defended their positions and did credit
to themselves.

way into the library building. It came
from the land cf Rudyard Kipling,
now known as the famous stricken re
gion. India. It consists of six port
folios, containing ancient architectural
designs taken from the fast decaying
ruins of the Ganges. These designs
are beautiful and unique and are well
wcrth preserving from the oblivion into
which they are fast passing because of
the rapid deray of the ancient mogul
structures.
Jeypore very generously furnished the
money to have them prepared and sent
as a free gift to public institutions of
learning throughout the world. The
nuiversity is proud to be among the
number to which these valuable gifts
are presented. Everyone interested in
ancient architectural designs would do
well to look through these whenever
an opportunity is presented.
