We cannot help paying an .eminently just compF
ment to the young gentlemen who acted as marshal
and assistant marshalis viz: Mr.. w. H. Hall, aided
by Messrs Hill, Iron, Nicholson and Waters. They
discharged their duties actively dscreetly delicate
~, and firmly. The company at the UNIVERSITY IS
much indebted to them for the pleasure enjoyed dur
ing their visit. The managers too of the Ball were
also highly praised for the good order and skill
manifest in their arrangements, and we learn that
they were rewarded by goodly attendance OF the
fair and fashionable. The music too was very gOOG
But do give us less brass next time 1t sounds wei
enough in the campus, but is rather dnning in the
Chapel.
In conclusion we congratulate the public on me
great prosperity of our University. From the Caa,

and eghty-one students have attended its lnstrue'
tons during the year just closed The Faculty con,
