Your correspondent learns as mat
ter of news that there is strong
demand on the authorities to open
the college to women.
The donation of $1,000 to the college
by DR.. Cunninggim is matter of
much pleasant appreciation ON the
part of the college authorities. 1t is
appreciated as much because of its
donors well known devotion to Chris
tan education ais for it's intrinsic
value. 1t indicates that men have con-
fidence in this type of education.
Mr. j. f. Bivins, who was valedic-
torian of the class of 1896, has ac
boro Academy. Mr. Bivins is one of
the most promising men that the State

IN it is. In it are many things of
much value. This volume will set a
standard for the future editors. 1t is
an index of the pronounced literary
revival which has lately swept over the
college, and which has been undoubt-
eddy due to the abolition of football
and the excessive athletic craze.
A force of hands is at work on the
grounds. More guttering has been
placed along the walk that leads mp
to the Washington Duke building.
A most remarkable clock has been
made and left running by Mr.. j. i.
90, in the physical laboratory.
1t is an electrical clock and is entirely
of Mr.. Hayden's own invention.
A recent issue of the Electrical En-
gineer contained an extensive descrip-
ton with two illustrations of this
clock. 1t is enough to say that it is
run by electro magnets, actuated by a
current from an earth battery. The
battery should last for hundred
years so that it is probable that Mr..
Hayden's great grand-sons may come
back to college and find the clock
running as he left it month ago.
