UNIVERSITY NOTES.
A Record of inc First Two Weeks of
 the Year.

It is remarkable the number of changes that occur during short va caticn and though the student body as a. majority is composed of old stu dents, yet there are many new faces filling the gaps that were made by those departed Among the faculty
 number of changes and additions nave
 been made and as a result every
 branch of learning that is advertised
 in the catalogue whether theoretical CT
 practical is amply provided for.
 Professor Summers, from Los An
 eeles. is principal of the preparatory
 depsrtment, vice Professor Rockfel-
 low. resigned Professor Holmes, from
 the manual training school at S:. Lotus,
 has charge of the shop work and draw
 ing. both freehand and instrumental.
 This branch of work has never had the services of one specially trained TOT it. and now that such an instructor mas
 been secured there is no doubt that the character of the work done will be oI the highest practical and theoretlcai importance. A large room in the ne"
 assay building has been fitted up TOT l the shop work. It is well provided
 with benches, tools and everything eise , necessary for successful woodwork . Two new lsahes will be added soon

In proportion to the numDer ts students the university was well re en resented both in the "Rougp hldeI' he and in the volunteer regiment.
