Rv Our Correspondent.

Miss Dean Kitchen spent Sunday
with her parents at Stayton, return
ing to school Tuesday.

weeks distant.
Sweet williams do not appear to
thrive beneath the university dome,
although they enjoy an unprecedented
growth beneath the state house dome
From what took place in the labora-
tory few days since, 1T is evident
that Mr.. Carter still holds the
Kitchen, valuable apartment Of the
household
The improvements to our campus,
before mentioned, are about. COM
pleted, and old Willamette's athletes
will soon commence regular training
for field day.
Hon. and Mrs. G.. NJ. Irwin, Mrs. j.
b. Sharpe, Miss Tille Best and Miss
Parrish, of Monmouth, Misses Allie
Davis and Ermine Bushnell and w.
c. Paige we're chapel visitors this
week.
Chapel rhetoricals last week were:

Thursday, recitation, Ida Harris,
Friday, essay, +. f. Brown.
At a recent meeting of the Y. M. G.

President, G. j. Atwood; vice-presi-
dent, Prof. +. S. Dunn; recording sec
retary, S. p. Early; corresponding
secretary, +. L. Brown; treasurer
Guy G. Miller.
About a dozen fellows enjoyed
cross country run Friday afternoon.
Ed. Carter and his men, +. Il. Brown,
Carl Brown, Murphy, wilkins, Rich
ardson and Shives formed one party,
and Hal Hibbard and Ogle, Aschen-
brenner, Livesay and Wlnn formed
the other. Very good time was made,
but owing TO mistake made by the
timekeepers, IL was called Il tie.
At the regular meeting of the Phil0-
dosian society Friday afternoon an
excellent program was given. Owing
TO the sickness and resignation Of
Miss Pauline Burcham, president of
the society, Miss Myrtle Marsh was
elected to that office. Miss Bessie
Shepard was also named TO succeed
Miss Agnes Brown who is absent from
school on account of sickness.
The membership contest between
the two literary societies is still
progressing with unabated energy.
as a result, several new members are
being received into each society. The
outcome is hard TO predict, as both
societies are doing their best. How
ever the contest will prove a great
benefit in increasing the number of
members and the interest in the work.
Heretofore one of our most indus
tri0us young gentlemen students has
been of the opinion that the nearer he
got to the realms above, the better he
could commit his lessons but he has
been obliged TO dismiss such ideas and
will hereafter probably study either
at home or in his session room. 1t
happened thus: One sultry afternoon
during school hours not long since
this young gentleman, accompanied
by fellow ~ student passed up to
the fourth floor of the university
ostensibly TO study his lessons, but an
unexpected visitor put in his appear
ance and as result our student
mourns the kindness of the faculty
for awarding him zone demerit for
absence from session room during
study hours"
AT the regular meeting of the Philo-
dorian society last evening four young
gentlemen were initiated and appli-
cations from four Others for member
ship were favorably acted upon. A
good musical and literary program
was given the last number being a
debate which proved quite spirited.
The subject for debate was: Ere
solved that the United States notes
should be retlred.n The Affirmative
was well represented by MesSrs. Carl
Nicklin, G. j, Atwood and Ernest
Wilson, while /. p. Callison, p. l..
Brown and A, o, Garland presented
some strong arguments for the neg.
ative' However the Affirmative won
the day mid great applause.
