UNIVERSITY NOTES.

The University has been in ses-
sion now for three weeks and has
enrolled great many new students.
The total number now is about 1856.
So far only ten young ladies have
taken advantage of the cO-educa-
tional plan and six Of them are from
Morgantown. They are as follows:
Miss Lucia Butcher, Troy, Gilmer
county Miss Mary l.. Brown, Hal
leck, Monongalia county Miss
Sallie l.. Norris, Glenville, Gilmer
county Miss Hattie b. Lyon,
Fredonia, N. Y, and Misses Lilly
Hackney, Othella V. Price, Mabel
Reynolds, NJ. Lieu Baker, Bessie
Hagans and Ada Hackney, of Nor
gantown.
1t is expected that several others
will enter this term also. The libra
ry and reading room has been open
ed and all the latest periodicals and
magazines are at the disposal Of the
students.
A youngster came up from Pitts
burgh TO attend the University, but
said the town was too small for him
and left. The Ahenaeum will
make It's first appearance, this term,
this week, and promises to be better
than ever. It is a very creditable
college journal.
The cadet corps has received sew
eral new recruits and is in splendid
condition, but has not been able TO
drill much yet as the campus is all
cut mp from the pipe lines laid
through it.. It is thought that the
new rule requiring all the cadets TO
wear their uniforms oil the time has
had q good effect, and has a tenden-
cy TO improve the general efficiency
Of the corps. The literary societies
have both recognized and started
out under favorable auspices. The
Parthenon seems TO be taking tho
lead possibly because it is rumored
that the ''co-eds," as the lady stu.
