The governor of California pardoned
nine prisoners on Christmas.

The Pierian Circle held it's meeting
Sunday afternoon in the Chapel. Sew
eral interesting papers were read, and
the "mock congress" which has been
substituted for the debates formerly
held was much enjoyed. 1t is to be
hoped that measures introduced in the
mock congress will be pertinent and
on the leading issues of the day, as in
that way they will not only serve as a
medium for accustOming the members
to express themselves in public, but be
instructive as well. Chaplain Albert,
who has acted as critic for the circle, was
present and a resolution of thanks was
passed by which the members of the
circle expressed to the chaplain their
appreciation and gratitude for the ever
kind and cheerful manner in which he
has assisted in the success of the circle
At the close Mr.. Albert made a few
remarks in which he expressed his
good wishes and continued interest in
the members, closing with the promise
of the glad hand of welcome should the
paths of any of them ever cross his
own again.
