UNIVERSITY NOTES.
BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.

Everything moved off quietly and
in order. In spite of the great com
motion raised during the summer
months, the attendance will be greater
than last year.
Our Faculty is now full, and we
have two new Professors. Prof
Wiley has long been known to the
University by reputation, and, as he
teaches Ancient and Modern History.
his classes will be greatly benefited
by having an instructor so thorough
ly conversant with the unwrittcn his
tory of the present.
Prof. j. s. Stewart Is the ether In,
structor, who occupies for the FIRST
time place in the Faculty. The
Professor is general favoritc, and
the old students are highly pleased
with the selection Of the Regents;
while the new students will find him
at all times affable and competent in
his instruction.
Prof. Berkeley, the Chairman Of the
Faculty, fills his position with dig
nifty and honor to himself and the
University. His period Of service In
this position has been very trying
one, yet he deserves the praise Of all,
for the able manner in which he has
conducted the interests Of the school
during "the late unplcasantness.
All the other schools are in charge
Of the Professors who are time tried
and proven, and we look for signal
success in the management and in.
struction Of the present year, as they
will bring all their natural ability,
together with their experience, to
bear upon making the year most
successful one.
Major Jas. NJ. Lee. the efficient
Commandant OF Cadets, has good
reason to be proud Of his department,
as there are now moro cadets, who
have reported, than were present at
Commencement last year. There are
still some to come in who have not
yet arrived. The Regents have GER
tainly done excellent service during
vacation, some having completed
their quota of cadets, and others lack
ing but one or two. The Major ex-
poets, next Commencement TO give
the visitors such a military exhibit
ton, as has never been given In past
years.
The Parthenon Literary Society
started with a ''boom." Her mem.
bers will endeavor to make the So
ciety more interesting and instructive
than ever before in it's history. We
would urge upon all students, who
are here for the first time, not to
neglect this most important auxil-
larry Of the University. We have two
excellent societies, the Columbian
and Parthenon, and would advise
every student to join one Of the other.
We have not the space to give the
names Of the new students. Suffice
it to say there are over thirty, with
others who have not yet entered. AL
together we think the outlook is de-
cidedly encouraging, and we hope
during the year, to record for the
New DOMINION, greater progress than
has ever in the past been announced
in it's columns.
