Miss Nellie Moreland is a member,
was entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Jos.
Moreland on Thursday evening May.

the class, few special friends were
invited. The evening was pleasantly
spent In an exchange Of college remin-

of the future regarding the individual
members of the class. These meetings
of college classes are most pleasant,
indeed, to those who for1 years have
been associated together in college

Lewis Blackstone is the newest
edition of this ancient and honorable
work. There has been nothing so
complete and comprehensive ever at
tempted IN the line Of law literature.
The notes include almost every refer
ence| ever made to Blackstone By the
Courts. Besides, they contain what
no other edition does, a translation OF
all the technical phrases of the text,
so that the student can read it intelli-
gently without dictionary. This
work is taking the lead in all the law
schools. Il Is used with great salts
faction in the Law School or the West
va. University. The students will
have no other. Rees Welsh and Co.

There is no trait on the part of a
professor 80 tiresorne and exaspera-
ting as that Of consuming time just
to filllup the allotted period The
hardest thing for an instructor
to do.successfully is to fool a class
of students Whenever he tries it,
he invariably has. hornets nest on
bis hands whose buzz is suppressed
during the recitation and vigor-
ously expressed after recitation. If
the subject matter Of aslesson, can be
exhausted in ten, fifteen or thirty
minutes, don't keep us in tiresome
waiting with your trying to makeus
think tits enthusiasm on your part
when we know you have loaded your
clock with a pistol, It makes the
benches tired, and US too. We re-
alize there are lessons assigned out of
which little interest and satisfac-
tory knowledge can be derived. This
criticism does not apply all around.
i is no plea to. escape work. We
only rise to say that the student
body cannot be fooled.
The base ball group is all right.

The university sustained great loss
when Prof: W. S. Aldrich gave up.
his work temporarily to save his'eoun-
try. His connection with the Uniyer-
sity won for him many friends. His
loss is especially felt in the Mechanical
Department, although the work has
been successfully carried on by Prof.
Jones. The demands of that depart
ment however, require more than a
single professor can do. We hope he
may soon resume his work here.
