Arrangements have been made by
which Dr. Nelson will, on Friday
night, June IA, deliver his popular
lecture on "Reminiscences of the War
Let all Alma attend this lecture as it
will be a treat of itself, besides being
given by the man whom the entire
county of Gratiot delights to honor.
The lecture last Friday night by
John Hicok, Esq, upon 'Books-Why,
When and Where ?' was very SHINY
attended. The substance of tie lecture
was very good but it was almost too
long for the lecturer to hold the atten-
ton of the audience to the close. Our
criticisms would be,-want of familiar
ity with manuscript, poor enunciation
and poor delivery.
The new catalogues of the College
have been issued, and geographically
considered, are good ones; but a good
many minor mistakes were made in
not giving students credit III the
classes where they belong and vice
versa. 1t will make no difference with
strangers but as TO friends they should
be correctly informed as to position of
students. a good deal of fault has
been found by students affected but
most agree shat the catalogues are
pretty nice after all.
President Hunting returned from
his Eastern trip Wednesday night
bringing with him his daughter Mollie
who has spent the last year with her
grandmother at Castleton, Vt. They
were met at the train at st. Louis by
the Senior Props, to which class
Mollie belongs, and at the station
here by the old students in a body.
All went direct to President Hunting's
house where they spent most delight
full time in social intercourse and in
creating havoc with the choice viands
provided by Mrs. Hunting. All report
a pleasant evening.
