rison again on the rack.
Alfred e. Lewis of Milford, Pa, was
appointed by President Cleveland to the

A dinner was given to John Wanama-
ker, the Philadelphia boodler, at the

ablest young men in West Virginia.
He is the youngest professor in the

him for1one ofour instructors. Our
college is improving and being pat
ronized more extensively every year
and to supply its growing demand
every one who knows Mr.. Elliott

persons was appointed to canvass
the town for funds to aid the suffer

Mrs. II. B. Lazier, Misses Mary Wal

will be sent to Johnstown from our
college city. At the conclusion of
the services ait the University Hall
collection was taken for same pur-
pose resulting in an extra $28.59.
This speaks well for the charity of

A Glimpse at the W. V. U.

The School year Of 1855 SO is
nearing its close, when the most in
teresting events Of the season occur.
Then the precocious Prep. plumes
his wings Of Ciceronian oratory, and
sails aloft into realms where angels
almost fear to tread Then intel
lectual stalwarts, from their stores
Of wisdom gained by application and
experience, discourse in words
"magniloquently grand" upon the
issues of the day. Then the brave
and worthy representatives of the
Greek and Roman forces meet upon
the arena in mortal combat, where
other similar conflicts have in pre-
giohs years aroused the chivalric
spirit and evoked loud and ringing
peals of applause when q hero was
yanquished 81 the ..sterner steel of
bis opponent Heroes alwayg have
those to champion them Tie
shouts of jubilant victory and the
groans of bitter defeat are STRANGELY
mingled on every hard contested
field.
Then comes the day when the
Senior, grown wise in the training
of past years and thoughtful in the
consciousness of the responsibility
of future years, instructs the assem-
bled host upon questions Of ancient
and modern government, past and
present crises which have changed
the tenor Of mems lives, upon doc
trines of Duty and Destiny, Time
and Eternity questions with which
he alone has manifested q willing
ness to grapple, whose satisfactory
answer is alone due to his nnexam-
pied profundity of thought.
The foregoing is prophetic, the
following is historic.
When we take a retrospective view
Of the work done by the school dur
ing the past nine months, We are
forced to the conclusion that at no
time il the history of the institu-
ton has its work been as satisfac-I
tory TO its friends.
Every man in the Faculty seems
to have recognized the importance Of
his position, and to hare pursued his
work with that earnestness which
bespeaks success for any school.

some excellent music which was
rendered in commendable style,
After the regular opening exercises,
Rev. Wayland Hoyt, D. D., Of Phila-
delphia, was introduced. The Doc
tor spoke almost an hour, during
which time his voice retained its
clearness, his subject grew more in
teresting as it heightened, and from
beginning to end he held his audi
ence in closest sympathy with him,
everyone seeming to give undivided
attention. The discourse was pecu-
liark adapted to the occasion, and
was pronounced by all as one Of the
finest ever delivered in the hall. It
was rich, rare and remarkably
clear and simple exposition Of q
practical subject, enlivened by hap
py illustrations and brilliant with
epigrammatic sentences All were
delighted with both speaker and
production.
We should be glad to give por-
tons Of it as remembered, but can
