Heretofore what was known as the assem-
bly, opened on the first Tuesday in August
and continued from that date for three
weeks Early in the history of the insttu
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 dea
of confusion was the result. Itwould 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. Ii
consequence the assembly will open this
year on July |, and on the first Tuesday in
August there will be special celebration
of the twenty-first anniversary of the assem-
bly,.
