Relics at the University.
Tuesday afternoon President Smiley
spoke of the advantage which some of
the students are taking of the freedom
allowed them in regard to library
books. The standard OF our library is
INCREASING year by year and the stu
dents should be proud of the fact that
they are given free use of all the books
in such a library, and should do every
thing t o build it up rather than pull
1t down. 1t is to be hoped that the
negligence spoken of by the president
will not occur again.

Judging by the sounds that issued
from the literary hall last Friday after

ton was, however, finally announced
as follows:
President-Paul Paulson.
Vice President-Anthony Jennings.
Secretary-Ethel Parker.
Treasurer-Harriet Fox.

Sunday afternoon the members of the
boarding club gave a dinner in honor
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Fairfield. 1t is
needless to say that the dinner was a
splendid n and much enjoyed by all
those present. Besides the guests of
honor and the members of the Board
ing club, those who were entertained
at the dinner were: Prof. and Mrs.
, Buffum and daughter, Prof. and Mrs.
Gilkison, Profs. Morey and Locke and
Misses Grace Davis. Hattie Fox and
:. Willie Downey.
In his talk Tuesday, President Smiley
spoke of a box Of relics which had been
presented to the university by Albert
G.. Richards. The contents OF this box
are most Interesting, the most prominent
among them being a Spanish flag.
. There are also other small articles of
Spanish manufacture which are es-
, peciaily interesting at this time. The
box will be kept for a short time in the
~secretary's office SO that all who care
to do so may have a chance to see these
interesting articles.
1t lis generally recognized that study
is not all of college life and that the
meeting and mingling of students with
professors is also an important feature
OF such life. The number Of clubs which
have been formed at the university
have lessened to some extent such gath
erings, but when one is given 1t is all
the more enjoyable for this. Such was
, the reception given last Saturday after
noon to the college girls by Misses
: Mcrey ard Hebard. From half past 2
to half past 4 these ladies' received,
assisted by Misses Locke and Downey
and Mrs. Smiley, and the time was most
pleasantly spent in conversation. Dur
, ing the afternoon light refreshments
were served. The college girls who
called during the afternoon were:
Misses Grace Davis, Harriet Fox, Flora
Lee, Alice Holiday, Elizabeth Holli-
day, Flora Knight, Eleanor Shedden,
Norma Downey, Willie Downey. Mary
