Heretofore what was known as the assem-
bly, opened on the first Tuesday in August
n continued from that date for three
weeks. EARLY in the. history Of the institu-
ton the course of studies in the schools was
begun four weeks earlier, while the assem-
bly, was not declared formally open until
the first Tuesday in August. A good deal
Of confusion was the result. Ewould seem
queer to some Of the people who had spent
all of July on the grounds to be told in Au-
gust that the opening would be held. In
consequence the assembly will open this
year on July !, and on the first Tuesday in
August there will be a special celebration
Of the twenty-first anniversary of the assem-
bly,.
