COLLEGE NOTES

Tuesday. -
On Wednesday afternoon some Of the
squads drilled out of doors and hereafter
will probably take every, opportunity the
weather affords.
Ga account of the bad weather the col
iege flower beds have not been arranged and
consequently the greenhouse is o~erstocked
with plants ready to be set out. The work
of arranging beds will probably begin in
week or two
The next contest will take place on the
18th of May. Contestants have been sc
lected by the two societies and preparation
will soon begin. Several changes have been
made in regard to the debate and reading
There Will be only one debater from each
society, an,l the reader must hold the book
in the hand while reading. Neither society
is allowed to select more than two contes-
| tants who have ever before represented
them, and they cannot be elected to per-
form the same thing. If person has de
bated once he will not be allowed to debate
again. These new rules have been made in
| order to give every one chance to appear.
The Ciceronians as unit had intended to
vote on entirely new people, but when it
| was known that the Websterians were go
| ing to select two of those who represented
| them 30 ably in the last contest, 1T was de-
| cided that little experience was needed in
the balance. Those who are selected to

tion, Mildredi linville; essays, Della Gel
