ing haZing. and we are glad to say that
the evil was not very prevalent in our
midst, but we notice that V. u. /. and
V. NJ. l. have adopted the same reso-
llutions. showing that the Virginia col
leges are getting into line about this
point.
Rev. ]. w. Wauchope preached an
eloquent sermon last Sunday morning
in the college church to an unusually
large congregation.
Dr. McIlwaine conducted services In
the chapel last Sunday night. and gave
II grand discourse that deligted his
hearers.
Hon w. Y. Johnson. of Norfolk was
on The Hill" last Sunday paying his
son flying visit. who is attending col
lege here this session.
The students all took advantage ri
the holiday given them to-day and took
in the sights at the Farmvilc fair.
