The President announced that the Club
had been unable to fill the office of . Col
lepc Bore - this year owing to the large
number of aspirants among the students
mt moro especially to the fact that the
Faculty insisted on having their claims to
.hc honor recognized, and it was simply I'M
possible to choose between them. He had
treat Measure, however, in introducing nc
he "Colleee Blow Mr.. John s. Barlow,
Jr., of Kentucky, and in presenting to INN

asion, was sick, and that Captain N. Is.
Feocin. of Alabama, had consented to

its author to deliver 1t.
