and instructive lectures are too well known
to need a word of praise from this writer
he is well and favorably known and appre-

The visit of Prof. Winston is significant
i'll many ways. 1t is the first time a Uni
versity Professor has ever visited the Col

be the beginning of a new era of good feel

University and the various Colleges We
Trinity people don't really see any conflict
between our College and the University,
as the appropriation now stands We pro
pose to do solid, sound College work for
the Methodist boys of the State (and to be
sure there are plenty of them to fill our
walls; and we will get them if we deserve
them-unless we do deserve them. We Ger

University will do College work for all
who do not care to attend the Colleges,
and will do University work for all. What
can be palmer?
Prof. Winston, while here, visited our
Chapel and recitation rooms, and actually
saw the work going on. He expressed
himself as very much pleased with all he
saw, and was good enough to say that he
considered the outlook for Trinity as very
bright. He seemed to enjoy his short stay
with US, and certainly carried back to his
home with him the kindly wishes Of US all
