University Notes.

A force of men with plows and
scrapers we're working several days
last week grading the campus in
front Of the new scientific building
and other wise making some badly
needed improvements around the
college.
The walks over the college campus
are in deplorable condition. 1t is
to be hoped that while the work of
improvement is goiEg ON these will
receive due notice and be put in
first class repair for the winter.
Mr.. Scott, of Randolph County,
and Mr.. Isaac Lowensteiny of the
Capital city, are the latest additions
to the law class. Both gentlemen
are old student and have host of
friends who are glad to see them
back again.
Mr.. Charles N. Finnell, who grad
uated with high honor in the law
department last year, left the pleas
ant scenes of his alma Mater last
week for Parsons, the new county
seat of Tucker county, where he
goes to practice his chosen profession.
He carries with him the best wishes
of his many friends and classmates,
who hope to see him win the laurels
he sojustly deserves.
While the newspapers all over the
state are busy suggesting suitable
/ man for proo;Japt IF tho w W IT
the school is moving along with the
exactness and harmony of well
regulated piece of machinery under
the supervision of DR.. Reynolds.
Considering the financial condition
of the country and other disadvan-
tages the attendance is unusually
large. This might suggest the fact
that it would be well to let we'll
enough alone.
Workmen are busy putting the
finishing touches upon the new
scientific building. The chemical
laboratory is perhaps the most com
plete of any in the South. 1t is
pronounced by those who are in POI
sition to know to be equally as fine
and as well equipped as that of the
Johns Hopkins or the University of
Virginia.
Pennsylvania as usual sends a
good delegation of bright, active,
earnest, students who come to West
Virginia for an education because
they know good thing when they
see it.
B. III. Hall Of the engineering class
spent Sunday rusticating with
friends at his old home at Fairmont.
The lecture course this year prom
Uses to be unusually interesting
Students Dorsey and budding have
succeeded in getting the best talent
in the country to entertain the stu
dents and citizens of Morgantown
This is a literary treat that no one
can afford to miss. Already a large
number Of tickets have been sold
and the indications are that last
years record will be outstripped by
several hundred
The rats were marched out for
drill for the first time last Monday.
Quite crowd had assembled for the
purpose of having some innocent
fun at the boys expense, but contrary
to their expectations the boys all ac-
quilted themselves very creditably
considering the fact that many of
them had no knowledge of
the first principles of military prac-
tice. Some of the boys made few
breaks as would be expected All
who were present went away fully
satisfied that, "our dear Americans
would have picnic" wiping out the
the Armies of any foreign nation
which might invade us, provided the
w. V. u. "rats" could be called to-
gether in time
A lady from one of the n England
states recently wrote Prof. Brooke
asking what inducements he could
offer her to join his law class. In
his usual aphoristic style he replied
that he would offer her the smiles of
81 horny handed sons Of the New
Virginia which ought TO satisfy the
most fastidious.' 1t is needless to
say that she hasn't yet shown up.
