The Third Maine Regiment holding its an
nual reunion in town under the command OF
Col. M. B. Lakeman, visited the college
grounds by invitation at p. m. on Wednes-
day. There were in attendance about eighty
veterans, chiefly from Maine and Massachu-
sets, and under escort of the Waterville band.
They marched into Memorial Hall and after
surrounding the memorial tablet were received
by the Librarian, Prof. e. w. Hall, who, in a
few fitting remarks, welcomed the veterans to
the college premises, referring also to the sig
nificance of the marble copy of the line of Lu-
cerne, the Latin inscription, &c., and inviting
them to the library. Five of the comrades iwho
fell in the war were Colby Alumni and hence
their names appear on the tablet, viz:-George
III. Bassett, Asher G. Kinds, VIM. S. Heath,
Edward P Stearns and Amasa Bigelow.
After spending few moments in the libra
ny, the veterans marched to Coburn Hall to
visit the Cabinet and Natural History rooms
They were repeatedly greeted with lusty
cheers from the students.
During the recent vacation numerous I'M
provements have been made upon the grounds.

proved in appearance by the removing of SUI

1t is said that plans are now under consld-
Grafton for the extensive enlargement of Co
burn Hall When these plans are matured it
is highly probable that the building will in

the place of the old one on the hill west of the
village.
There has recently been placed in the libra
ny a fine portrait of the late Prot Kelley, a
photograph finished in carbon by Vickery and
the gift of Mrs. Kelley The likeness is a re-
markedly true one, and being fine work of
art, makes a valuable addition to the library.

ening prospect of a good crop of corn and pc
tatoes, good 'fall-feed" and fair price and
ready market for stock, with increased pros
pect of stability of the currency, makes the
farmer look more cheerful. 1t is hoped that
Scion may yet realize some profit on "them
steers and hogs"
