UNIVERSITY NOTES.
The best standing made by any stu
dent in the senior class was made by
Miss Lucy Wood, the only girl in the
class. She takes very high standing
and far outstrips her men competitors.
/ However she will not be allowed to
take the Atkinson prize offered by the
Governor for the best all round student
| in the senior class, as she is not an ath-
| lete and cannot compete in the various
athletic events of the year. Otherwise
the prize would have been hers.
The entertainment by the school of
music brought out the largest crowd of
the commencement season, and the au-
| dience, which occupied every seat and
many of whom stood up, remained until
the last notes died away. The recital
was the most successful ever given
here.
| Inc members of the Phi Sigma Kap-
pa Fraternity gave a banquet to their
visiting alumni and their seniors at
the Wallace House last night. This
was very interesting event and the
banquet was highly enjoyable one.
| The road race took place this even
ing over a course ten miles long over
very rough roads with several very
steep hills in it. The first prize was
| Crescent bicycle. There were twenty
| five starters.
University field days has been aband-
oned on occount of the small number
of entries. This is much regretted on
account of the interest that the event
aroused last year, when it was given
| for the first time.
The competitive drill for the corps
colors took place this afternoon on the
college campus. There was large
| crowd out to watch the evolutions Of
| the three companies which were COM
| peting.
