ing ones, and, on the Whole, consider
ing that his subject offered every adj
vantage for this style of oratory, it was
not badly done. The judges were as
follows: On thought and composition,
Rev. Dr.. William Mckinley, namlinv !;
Revs. Albert Shaw and Thomas
MC!ary, Minneapolis; on delivery,
President M'Curdy, Of Manchester,
Rev. John Wood, of Merriam Park: G.
H. Benedict, of Hamline. First place
was awarded to Mr.. Campbell, and Mr..
them for the state contest, which occurs
soon, at which the Manchester and the
state university will also compete.
The Amphictyons have taken a new
departure in Hamline society circles,
and instead of the usual society pro-
grammes which have graced their
weekly sessions since the organization
began, they have now a weIl-organized
house of representatives, acting accord
ing to the customs and rules followed in
the national congress. This change
took place Friday evening, the time for
the regular election of officers. After
an exciting ballot A. NJ. Edwards was
elected speaker. G. w. Ridgeway clerk
of the house, and MesSrs. Kerfut and
Dugal Cree sergeant-at-arnS and chap
lain respectively. Numerous bills
were proposed and referred to the
various committees, of which there
were about thirty appointed. The bills
are of every character and will come up
for discussion as they are reported by
the several committees. The boys are
confident that the change will prove adj
vantageOuS in every way, and there is
talk of an open session before long when
there will bean opportunity for Outsid-
ers to judge for themselves.
Another matter of an entirely differ
ent nature occupied the attention of the
Amphichyms Friday evening, of which
the following resolution is the result:
Whereas, G. j. Godfrey has been an
active and respected member of this Or
ganiZatiOn; therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That any action which the
college or faculty has seen fit to take
with regard to MI. Godfrey, on account
of the results of the late unpleasantness,
should not in any way. or To any degree,
alter the high regard in which Mr.. God
frey is held by every member of this Or
ganiZatiOn; and, further. that copy of
this resolutions be incorporated in the
minutes of the society, and that copy
be furnished the daily press for publ
cation.
This resolution was proposed by G.
W.. Euppy, and, without discussion,
adopted unanimously.

essays Miss Uorr and Miss Ealnes di-
yided the honors in delivery, and Miss
Frost took first rank in originality of
thought and style Of composition. Mr..
Beams Grafton was without question
the best of the gentlemen's, being adj
mirabiy delivered and well written. In
the evening the gentlemen of the class
gave the ladies sleigh ride to Mime
apolis and an oyster suppera at DOrsetts.
This was the result OF Wager as to
which should receive the highest marks
in rhetoricalS. The ladies came out
ahead and the sleigh ride followed.
The college Glee club gave success
full concert Friday evening in st. Paul
at the First Nj. e. church. The boys

and it will not be very long before they
will be able to give tirSt-class glee
club concert. After their return Fri
day night they stopped under the WIN
doWs of the ladies' hall and rendered
"My Lady Seepsn in manner which
the moonlight and the perfect silence
about rendered most effective. SO the
ladies say. 4.ri
Messrs. M. d. Rule, c. y. Ridgway
and Dugal Cree returned Wednesday
from few days sojourn at Fergus
Falls. This clears up the mystery OF
Dugal Cree'S- disappearance. No one
knew where he had gone but he is
back all right. and. according to all ac-
counts, the boys were only conducting
all innocent revival.
