Semi-CentenniaI Notes.

not complete enough to enable the

expect to attend the banquet.
They have therefore decided to an
nounce that the husbands and
wives of former students will be
heartily welcome. The invitations
include all teachers past and present
who have been connected with the
Academy in any capacity. The older

mitted if there is any room.
