The parts were all good, but, as in all exhi-
billions, some of them showed more excellence
than others; if we were allowed to pass an
impartial Judgment we should say that the two
best written pieces were those of A. G. Staples

pieces those of e. T. Mccarthy and G. H.
Pierce

According to the statements of the professors
of the several departments, the progress made
this term by the students has been unusually
satisfactory, hence we pride ourselves upon our

able statements mace in the papers about the
matter.
