Colby UNIVERSITY An innovation Is
| proposed in Colby University. The Latin
catalogue diuma0rum is to be suspended,

ministry. but Of the achievements OF gradu-
ates of the college in all walks of life. The
profession or occupation of each graduate,
civil Offices. military records. books publish
| ed, and present address, are to be recorded.
and the catalogue will thus acquire a histor-
| ical value which the triennial never had in
/ the same degree.
