The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1891-10-31

By OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.
II docs seem that the proper kind
of feeling does not exist between the
students and the people Of the town.
Almost any conscieBcious citizen of
Morgantown will tell You that the
students are the fife Of the town.
The merchants order. their new lines
of goods so that they will have them
when the students return. The
tailors, during the summer, will tell
you that they will be very bus,
when the students come back.
Many families are supported by the
money received for room-rent. and
we must say that st the rate some
charge for rooms it does not take the
rent of very many rooms to keep an
ordinary family. We do not intend
this as stone thrown just because
we have access to the columns of the
New DOMINION and have nothing
else TO do, but we are compelled to
say that sometimes it appears to us
that the people of the town do not
appreciate the benefits derived from
the students sojourning among them.
To illustrate this, we are told that
some enterprising young men Of the
University, thinking that course
of lectures would be beneficial to
not only the students but to the
people of the town as we'll, have ar
ranged for a course of lectures. AS
the University is out Of the town
and rather inconvenient, the com
mittee asked TO have the course of
lectures delivered in one of the
churches, but was refused Now,
we ask the trustees, in the name of
common sense, if they do not think
that their families and their town
will be benefited enough to pay for
the use of their building? We are
inclined to think that the answer
given to this committee was the
result of little consideration, unjust
prejudice or downright meanness.
Now gentlemen, we hope that you
will reconsider and grant the use Of
your buildings. 1t would be rot
ten shame tn drive us out of the
town when you can benefit both us
and yourselves by assisting this
committee.
A very stirring reception was
given to DIR. Turner in chapel on
Monday morning twas the second
time this year that we have had the
President with US. He has not
wholly recovered, but is able to dis
charge part of his duties.
We have noticed decided change
in the way that the boys have con
Quoted themselves in chapel for the
asst few mornings Gentlemen, this
is commendable. and we hope to see
it continued.
1t is rumored that our lady stu
dents are contemplating starting a i
Literary Society. We say Ego in
girls we'll hold your bonnets." We
want anything that will be bene-
fetal to our school, and we think !
that such an organization would add |
a rich field of work.
Prof. Hare spent Saturday and |
Sunday visiting near Cassville.
Students Steed and Williams
visited the home of the latter in
Uniontown, Pa, since our last writ |
ing.
The Literary Societies were visit
ed last week and week before by |
several young ladies. Ladies, visit
our Societies whenever you wish, it
makes our members brush up and |
their best. Would it not be
well for each society to give a
special before long?
The duty of taking care of the
cadet library is discharged by the
instead of the AID
iutant as formerly.
The school of Engineering will
send out some practical men this
year.
The senior class is the same in
number as last year-fourteen.
A board walk has been built from
the end of the brickwalk around to
the new building, which ought to be
appreciated, at least, enough to be
let alone by the students.
Prof. Whitehill was called away
On Sunday by the serious illness of
his father.
We understand that the Professor
Of English who has charge of the
Junior performances will likely bring
the class before the public TO deliver
,heir next productions.
We hear that Mr.. j. E. r. Sine
who was here three years ago will
come back after holidays TO finish
.he law course.
