The personnel of the class varies
from the gay to grave. Miss Putnam

est ladies, general favorite with both
faculty and students. She ranks high
in her classes, having secured the
scholarship two years in succession.
She is also an enthusiast in outdoor
sports, and stands chance of captur
ing the prize in the tennis tournament.
Miss Grout is more serious, hay
ing sweet Madonna-like face,
and wins friends among all
classes. She is considered the best lit
erary worker among the ladies of the
class, taking second place in the Hodg-
son prize contest by her thoughtful
cism on Professionalism" Miss Eames
impresses one as quiet girl, but of
very much reserve force. She is very
original and of pronounced ind1vidu-
ality. Miss Door is more positive in her
characteristics, and is an accomplished
church worker, much of the prosperity
of the Epworth league being due to her
efforts. She possesses soprano voice
of much power, and is in demand at all
musical gatherings. Miss Door and
Miss Eamesswlll teach mir. Empey is the
sole claimant of the honoTs of the cloth,
having entered the Methodist ministry
several years ago and usually has had
charge while in school. He possesses a
keen, mature nina, original in its in
vestigation. and logical in construction.
His literary productions would rank
very high in thoughtfulness. Mr.. Bean
is the youngest of the class, and the
youngest graduate from the college,
being only eighteen. He is a bright
Greek student and the only member of
the class who has taken both the pre-
paratory and collegiate work in the uni
Versity. He will probably enter the
ministry after a theological course in
some Eastern seminary. Mr.. Campbell
and Mr.. DObner will both swell the
ranks of law students. The former will
take finishing course at Harvard next
year, where a former claSsmate will
graduate with him, Herbert Fl. Norton,
of Winona. Both have achieved some
note as orators and before attaining
senior dignity Mr.. Dobner was an en-
thuSiaStic ball player.
