A meeting OF the Liber Board was held
Yesterday afternoon. Manager Edwards
made report which showed progress.
The principal feature OF interest was that
the publication will be completed April
1, and thereby avoid the confusion which
is caused by its publication at about Class
Day.
Only a short time remains for the ath-
letic team to get themselves into shape
for the fall meet on October 23. AS yet
there are only a few members OF the CID
team in active training, but the num-
bers will probably be increased In the
next few days. The class relay race which
was the cause of 90 much excitement and
enthusiasm In last falls meet, will be
one OF the features this fall. The follow
ing old mem bers have been notified to re-
port after today for regular practice and
training: Il. f. Hull, '9S; III. G. Hull,

years decidedly matter Of class suprem-
scy in the number OF points. This year
| IL promises to be even more close and
exciting than last year. As yet, how
ever. not much can be determined as to
| the worth OF the material In the freshman
| class; but yet there reason to believe
that they will make q strong bid for first
| place.

His Honor, Horatio Rogers, president
of the Historical Society, read an inter
esting paper before q large gathering o.
that body last evening on "Msry Dyer o
Rhode Island" The substance OF hi
remarks were as follows: "The Quaker
suffered great persecution during th'
middle OF the 18th century, neither ag'
nor sex being respected They believed IL
the divinity of Christ, the atonement,
future life, either in heaven or hell
which was contrary to the current re
ligion of the time. Mary Dyer was
comely, .grave woman who feared he
Lord. In 1857 she returned from tri
to England with her father, having adop
ted the Quaker religion. On her arriva
in Boston she was arrested and relesse
on condition that she would go to Rhod
Island. She was twice condemned Il
death, and on May %, 1858, standing o.
the fatal steps, she was offered her lif
and freedom IL she would cease he
efforts for the repeal OF the banjshmen
law; she refused and the crown OF mar
tyrdom rested on her head"
