COLLEGE NOTES.

yond the sea. The College Register
showed three hundred and thirty
eight. The preparatory department
is taxed to the utter-most. Prof. Gill
having one hundred and twenty one
in his room. Prof. Barnes has over
fifty in single class.
During Prof. Wilson's absence the
place Of register has been filled by
Prof. Golf. Mr.. Will A. Campbell
has assisted him.
The community of Maryville in
general has been sorely bereaved in
the death of Mrs. McTeer, Maryville
College in an especial manner. She
was closely allied to it. First as a
student and its first female graduate;
as the sister of Prof. Wilson; and as
wife of Maj. w. A. McTeer the col
lege treasurer. She felt personal
interest in its welfare and in each stu
dent. The last sad services were held
in her church, and were simple and
touching; and were conducted by Drs.
Elmore and Duncan, members of her
class.
Born on the sacred soil of the Mission
field it was but natural that the mis-
sion zeal should order her life. She
was active in personal work at home
and her influence helped shape for
.eign work. She was attended to her
grave by representatives of the organ
izations with whom she labored and
many colored people for whom she
had done much.
Bruce Smith has returned for the
second terms work, and has brought
with him friend, Mr.. Martin, who is
valuable addition to the college
Band and Orchestra.
Last Saturday night the Junior Sec
ton of the Athenian Literary Society,
held forth with special programme
which was admirably carried out. A
clear cut debate, good recitations,
and papers and music by the Jr. A.
L. S. Quartette, which is proving a
success. Call in on the boys any Sat
urday night, its we'll worth while.
Last Friday night, the usual well
coming Reception was rendered the
new students by the Y. M. c. A. and
Y. w. c. A. of the college.
Mr.. Ed. Biddle, '9S, made the ad
dress of welcome representing the
student organizations; to which Rev.
Will Eisenhart, '9S, of Chicago who
has come here to complete college
work responded in behalf of the new
students. Prof. Waller gave the well
come OF the faculty. His address was
highly appreciated. Will Bartlett,
gave solo in his pleasing style and
the orchestra rendered two selections.
And after this, as usual-snap!
Now that Will is back, Harmony is
restored in the college.
Mr.. Hubert Lyle has been confined
to his room for few days, by an at
tack OF La Grippe.
The Bainonian Literary Society will
give their Annual Mid-Winter Enter.
tainment on Friday evening Jan. IS
in the Chapel. An excellent program
consisting of music, and literary exer.

past reputation.
The Y. M. C. A. held its first reg.
ular meeting on Sabbath afternoon
