Longfellow's birthday was duly
and most creditably observed by the
faculty and students OF Collegiate

programme was made up OF vocal and
instrumental music by the young
ladies and gentlemen composing the
choir, an essay by Miss Nina French,
and that popular parlor and school
play entitled The Courtship of Miles
Standish." The olden-time furniture
and other fixtures added much to the
interest OF the play. Miles Standish
WAS himself, but got awfully mad as he
cavortcd about the stage with drawn
sword. Pretty Priscilla was sweet as
an apple-blossom as she sang and
