few years, have been changed, and the
course. as it now stands, will without
doubt meet w it'll the approval of all the
students. The first time for many years
the iron-clad oath to not meet in secret
society has been presented to the new
students for signatures, which undoubt-

ties. Prof. L. j. Burrill, for many years
vice president, is acting regent.
