examination Saturday morning.
A number of the young ladies have
been, for the past ten days, taking
turns in sitting up with Mrs. Frank
lyn, and we commend them most
heartily IN such work for others.
Two large boxes of busts, casts and
masks were received this week for the
art department and among them are
some very handsome pieces. This will
be great improvement in the art
room.
The lecture Monday evening by Hon.
r. w. Martin was masterly dis
course upon the lives and characters,
points of similarity and difference of
Daniel Webster and Rufus Choate.
Seldom have we listened to more elo-
quent lecture. We regret exceedingly
that the chapel was not filled to its ut
most capacity upon such an occasion as

President Hancher and wife de-
parted Tuesday evening for Florida, to
be absent for two or three weeks. On
March 8 and 9 he is on the program of
the DeFnniak Springs Chautauqua
assembly, and upon his return will
lecture in several of the large cities of
the south. Vice-presldent E. E. Lymer,
is in charge during his absence.
About a bakers dozen of the stu
dents have organized themselves to-
gether as an orchestra, in which
stringed instruments such as violins.
banjos, guitars, etc. will be used ex-
clusively. Russell Thorpe, jr.. is presi-
dent of the organization and Edgar
Kenoyer, musical director. The or.
chestra expects to get together and
practice in earnest and sometime in
the future we may look for some en-
tertaining music from that source.

cient quarrels and d,sagreements in his
own family without adding another
cause of strife? To ordinary observers
this would seem to be so. Yet if she is
refused admittance by Uncle Sam, she
may wander around and be bound to
old John Bull or fall into the hands of
German "Hans For these reasons
do not tnrn her away. Which course
is best? We are unable to make up
our minds and refer it to the literary
society for decision.

man, S. A. Calhoun, A. b. Gidley to
draft suitable constitution and by
laws and to report at the earliest con-
venience to a called meeting. This
certainly is move in the right direc-
tion and we feel that it will result in
a much better representation on field
day.
We must not neglect to chronicle
the mass meeting of the yonng ladies'
one afternoon last week, at which the
propnety of competing with their
brothers in some manner or other for
a share of the honors of field day was
lively ~ discussed. While the girls
cannot conveniently or with any de.

base ball, tennis, (?) pole vaulting,
running, jumping, ETC., there are some
things which they can do, and which
are more in their line, and we learn
from secret source that they are te

that they may do their share ON field
day.
