weather, and all felt fully repaid. The parts
showed careful preparation and were we'll de-
i"ered. Chandler's six entertained the audi
ence by number OF fine selections from
'heir repertoire. The following is the pro-

Juniors.
The term closes Friday after a session of
thirteen weeks. The spring term will COM
mence April 18th.
The committee made an examination of
the interior of Memorial Hall on Saturday
last, and in all probability work will be com.
menced during the coming vacation. The
plans, which we think have been decided upon
have not been made public; but it is rumored
that the building will be an exceedingly fine
piece OF architecture throughout. 1t is impos-
sible to state when the work will be CON-
pieted, but 1t Is safe to say that the class OF
'c2 will be able to have their graduating exer-
cises within its walls
The history of Bowdoin College. left unfin-
ished by Nehemiah Cleaveland of the class
| of 1913, and brought down to the present
time by Prot. Packard, is ready for the press.
and waits only a sufficient number of sub
scribers to warrant its publication. The
committee on publication, chosen BY the
Alumni, do not feel warranted in proceeding
further with the work until the number of
copies subscribed for shall reach 600. Sub
scriptions for about 425 copies have thus far
been received by Prot. Chapman, who has
the list. The book will contain 700 or 800
pages, with numerous illustrations, and
should be in the hands of every Alumni and
friend of the college.
The base ball nine have been at practice
on the delta for the last week, and appear
to take hold with will. Arrangements have
not been made as to the precise dates of the
games in Massachusetts,, but they will prob
ably take place during the first or second
week in May. The Faculty seemingly
allowed the nine a week with pleasure. All
such assistance and favor at their hands is
duly appreciated by the students.
The editorial board of the Orient, who
enter upon their duties next term, has been
elected from the junior class and is as fol
lows: Managing Editor. A. G. Staples;
Business Editor, c. II. Gilman; Associate
Editors, NJ. s. Holway. W. c. Merryman,
f.. Il. Mccarthy, w. A. Moody. w. o.
Plimpton, &. G. Weeks.
The uniforms for the cadets have been re-
ceived, and everything is in readiness for an
aggressive campaign next term. Besides the
manual of arms. bavonet exercise, and field
manquvres, the artillery drill is to be insti-
tuted. Arrangements have been made to
procure number of field pieces for this prac
tice.
The engagement fever has struck the
college. 1t seems to be extremely con-
tagiOus.
