In all, II. Gradually the Alumni asso-
citation assumes respectable proportions
as to numbers. These young people,
graduates of our schools, banding them
selves together to continue their literary
pursuits will, ere long, give our growing
town large, thoroughly organized lite
rary society. IE is to be observed that
such literary organization is not mere
ly called together by the social tie or the
idea of the passing away of time, but an
organization grown together by the strong
power of culture. Such union is a nat
ural one, and must, because of the COM
munity of letters, always have place in
our midst. The members of Ou. Alum
nj association are working hard to give
us q rich, intellectual feast. Judging
from the varied character of the pro-
gramme, we will not be disappointed. We
ask for this society the sympathy of all,
who desires to see our children growing
in knowledge.
