Although the Catholic University opened
last week there has been but little done in
the way of study. Glasses had to be ar
ranged, 50 the professors were kept busy.
With this week, however, the students be-
gin work. Scattered throughout this vicin-
ity there are quite a number who will at
tend the university. Mrs. Smoote, in Brook
land, has as her guests six students, Mr..
Joseph G. Powers, Mr.. James ]. Powers,
Mr.. Geo v. Powers, Mr.. Francis P. Gull
foile, Mr.. NJ. F. Kennedy and Mr.. John ].
O'Brien. The Messrs. Powers, who are
from Peekskill, N. Y, will pursue civil en-
g;neering, as also will Mr.. James Dickey Of
Covington, Va, who is the guest of Mrs.
T. G. Carmick. Mr.. Guilfoile of Water
bury, Conn.,, and Mr.. Kennedy of Williams
philosophy and law. Mr.. OBrien, who will
also pursue philosophy and law, Is from
Wheeling, w. Va, where he attended st.
Mary's College, at which institute he stud
led the higher branches of the sciences,
and was considered a young man of rare
capabilities. Prof. F. Cameron, who Is
from the south, Is stopping at Mrs Pages
in University Heights. AS professor of
chemistry. he will assist DR.. Griffin. An
other student in Brookland is MIR. Cornelius
Hooley, who Is stopping at Mr.. Harry
Dowling's residence on Lar sing street. MIR.
Hooley Is from stanton, Va, and he will
take u course in languages at the McMa-
hon Hall. THE lexington" also has sew
eral of the professors and a number Of
students. Among the faculty are Rev. DR..
+. T. Shanahan. professor of philosophy;
Mr.. Philip N. Robinson, LII. B., son of
Judge Robinson, registrar of the universe
ty; Rev. DIR. John j. Griffin, professor of
chemistry. and Judge William C. Robinson,
LII. D., dean of the faculty Of social SCI
ences and professor of law. Judge Robin
son and his son are only at The Ecking
tom temporarily. for 1t will not be long be-
fore the judge and his family will take up
their residence in their cottage in the uni
versty grounds, which is almost completed.
All the students at THE lexington" will
pursue the study of law. Among them are
Messrs. VIM T. eastman of Boston, Geo.
s. Comiel of New York, H. Lamar Monarch
of Los Angeles, Cal, Geo. ]. Twohey of
Norfolk, Va, and VIM. H. McBam of Hav-
erhill, Mass. The students seem thorough
ly pleased with the pretty suburbs in which
they are making a temporary home. The
university term has but just begun, and it
is probable that other students will take
up their abode in this vicinity.
A new building is being erected at the
Soldiers Home. This is an amusement
hall, where entertainments and operas on
a larger scale than heretofore could be
done will be given for the soldiers The
building is situated back of the main build
Ing The contractors are Messrs. Winnfree
and Esther. The lower part of the building
Is to be OF granite and the remainder Of
white marble. and 1t will probably be COM
pleted the first part of April.
