and in all this time has not been absent

be noteworthy. OF the entire class,
fifteen have attended the Institute four
years or more, and several, by private
tuition or special combination of studies,
have completed the Academic course in
less than the prescribed time. The ages
of the class range from nineteen to fif-
teen, with an average falling between
seventeen and eighteen.
HYPATIA'S HISTORY.
AT the beginning of the school year.
last autumn, the girls OF the senior class
distinguished themselves by organizing
the Hypatia Literary Society, which pro-
vides for the girls of the Institute course
of study similar to that of the literary
society for young men. The idea of the
4 organization arose with Miss Annie @.
Koonz, who has ever since remained an
active and enthusiastic member. The
faculty, especially Miss May FlorencePark,
Superintendent of the Girls Department,
and Miss Amelia B. Myers. have from the
first given Hppatia their earnest approval
and support, and the society is today In
prosperous condition, meeting on Friday
afternoons to discuss the works OF some
prominent latter-day writer. Member
ship is limited to the three higher classes
of the girls department., and eleven Of
the senior class are enrolled in the society.
The officers are at present:-Miss Hattie
Bartlett, President; Miss Annie Weeks.
