COLLEGE NEW S.

Last w euntSuay evening Mls' Id
mar entertained to a number Of her
student friends. 1t was a most de-
lightful occasion, as, indeed, are all
given by her. Games and music held
the jolly party until the clock held its
hands straigh up In admonition. The
light refreshments daintily served by
the male admirers of the charming
hostess called for recognition. Truly
it was a "remembersome" occasion.
Miss Cordella Young, 'oS, was in
chapel Thursday morning 1t was
her first visit to the Hill since her i'll
ness.
Rev. ]. M. P. OTIS, d. D. L. L. D.
of Knoxville, delivered most excel
ent lecture in the chapel Thursday
night under the auspices of the Stu
dent Volunteer Band. The subject
of the lecture was "The Land where
Jesus lived" being an accoun, of his
travels and studies in Palestine. DR..
Otis is thoroughly qualified to speak
on this snbject as he has long been
student of Biblical history, and IN 90
81 conducted an exploringsexpedition
through Egypt and Palestine. In rec
ognition of his services he has been
made a member of the Victoria Philo-
sophical Institute of Great Britain.
AT the regular meeting of the Stu
dent Volunteer Band Saturday morn
ing Rev. John A. Silsby of the Shang-
hal, China Mission, delivered an ad-
dress on "The Religions of China"
1t was most entertaining as well as
pointed, practical and educational.
Friday at Wildwood the Orange and
Garnet ball players met the Grey
backs of Porter academy and what
they did wasn't little.
1t was a pretty good game taking
into consideration the poor grounds.
The crack pitcher from Wildwood
went out in the fourth. Every man
that wears the orange and garnet this
year will be in the League inside Of
two years. M. c. II, Porter Acadia

Rev. Wilson A. Eisenhart, of Nor
gan Park Church, Chicago Ill.,, who
has been identified with us as a STU
dent this past term, and whom we so
highly esteem, has returned to his
home where he will remain until COM
mencement.
The Steroptlcon Entertainment on
Monday evening in Columbian Hall
was one of the best things of the kind
ever given to a Maryville audience.
The hall was filled to its utmost capac-
ity and consequently SIS was cleared.
One hundred and twenty-five most
vivid scenes and views were presented
Interesting and instructive explanatory
remarks were given by Mr.. Eisenhart
concerning each view. The scenes
in "Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress" were
beautiful and will make Pilgrims Prog
ress seem like a new book.
The scenes in the "Life of Christ"
were interesting and vivid. The CON-
ic views were good and furnish am
usement for all. The scenes in Grip
Van Winkle" were almost as real as
life. The whole series was well chos-
en- and rendered. Mr.. Eisenhart gave
the entire proceeds to Bartlett Hall.
He has the high appreciation and
gratitude of our college for his bene-
ficient favor. This is the fourth en-
tertainment Mr.. Eisenhart has given
for the benefit of securing bowling
ally for our gymnasium. Ills giving
the proceeds of these exhibitions to
our building shows his sacrafcing in
tsrest in our work.
Porter academy closed the spring
term last Friday evening. The school
has been very successfully conducted
by Prof. Tobe Cox and Ed Houston.
The enrolment for the spring term
reached one hundred and thirty; the
fall term reached much larger en-
rollment. On Thursday evening
