monopoly on the trade, there
being no other paper published
there and the telegraphic news that got
directly from headquarters, via exchanges

in fresh and reliable style. Sometimes

The catalogue of Hamline UniYers-
ity, now before us. shows Il total en-
rolment during the year of one hun
bred and forty-eght, thirty of whom
are iii the classes of the regular col
lege course. The faculty numbers
ten, seven of whom are men. The
courses do not materially differ from
the same in eastern colleges, most of
which are replacing the traditional
Latin and Greek by literary and sclen-
tifc studies. Among the familiar
Wisconsin names in the various cours-
es we find ETA DeMille, formerly OF
River Falls, and Daisy Gates, Emma
Monroe, Parnie Monroe, Nancy Street,
Hammond. The influences thrown
around the students are the best, and
the hamlet in which the school is sit
uated does not offer the temptation OF
a city. Address, Pres. G. Ii. Brldg-
man, Hamline, for a catalogue and
full particulars.

about regulations, and each knew 1T
differently.
