circular Tith'muth interest and hasten to reply.
IL Is bDt proper that The rising generation should
have some Substantial object by which To remem-
Der the late Emperor and think tie movement
praiseToriIy one. Regarding site, am firmly
convinced that the intersection OF Kearny street
and Montgomery avenue would be the best place
Tor The statue. You probably remember that. on
one corner OF these Undergraduates is drinking
fountain erected BY physician whose hobby is
10 have his name go down 10 posterity. Now
IBIS fountain is in locality where, water is con-
se ed useful for washing only, and even should
: Epedec.slan seek 10 assuage his thirsthe fluids
sty tin Cup TO be the.soe drinking vessel at
ehed 10 me faucet. Besides monument TO
#e departed Emperor would be highly pleasing
that portion OF our population who reside ia
- le vicinity, aud who manufacture Jonlales for
he public. Respectfully, JOHN sMALLwIT.
A CENTRAL LOCATION. -...

Sceived," continued Mr.. Hardup: -. =
Dear StT: We say the monument would look
%better in Union Squa re than in any other por-

Of our fraternity who find time hanging heavily
on our hands.
