The board of trustees held numerous
meetings, but transacted only routine
business aside from establishing the Nor
ton professorship. No change was made
in the faculty.
The members of the class of '3S seemed
to have rather a better time than any one
else. Twelve of them were here. The
class numbered 40, and was the largest
ever sent out from the institution. They
intended going to Bread Loaf yesterday
for dinner, but so many of their num-
Der were compelled to leave for home
Wednesday that the trip was given up.
