WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY.
Special correspondence Of TnE AEous
MoRGANTowS, W. VA, }
Jan. Is. 1900

NOT having seen anything In
your paper for some time concern
ing the University, we concluded
to write you few lines for your
office goat, or the public, as you
please.
The students have most all re
turned, although few are still
out, and large number of new
students have enrolled for the
winter.
The Conyocation OF the Winter
Quarter was held in Commence
ment Hall, Tuesday evening, Jan
nary 2. DR.. Reynolds read the
convocation prayer, and the ad.
dress of the OCCASION was delivered
by Chas, w. Dabney. President of
the University of Tennessee. The
lecture was delivered in pleasing
and forcible manner, and showed
scholarship and originality.
One noticeable feature Of the
address, was when DR.. Dabney
spoke of II former President of the
University. w. Il. Wilson, a shout
OF applause went up from the aud
lence, while reference to the bril-
liant and scholarly young man who
IS now President of the University
was received in silence. Although
we have no doubt that Dr.. Ray
mond Is working for the interest of
the University, he certainly is not
popular with the students.
The quarterly report Of the
President showed the rapid progress
of the University, which certainly
is developing into first-clas col
lege. Two friends of the Univer.
sity have gwen 81, 700 apiece for
tie purchase Of pipe organ for
Commencement Hall. The organ
is now in process of construction.
and we hope will be in place before
the next quarterly Convocation.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts
was. conferred upon Miss Carrie
Louise Dent, Mossrs. NJ. q. Tough.
Bruce Mckinley, II. D. Roller, Jr. !.
and j. A. Willis, The School of
Music Certificate was conferred
upon Miss Rosalie Boughner Howe.
The benediction was pronounced
by Rev. G. Gilbert Hannah, of the
Protestant Episcopal Church.
The regular Convocation Sermon
Was delivered by Rev. [. A. Barnes
on Sunday evening, January 9TH.
Ills subject was divine Purpose in
Human Life" Text, "There was
a Man sent Of God. John 1:6.
The proposed new buildings for
the University will add much to it's
usefulness and reputation.
The Literary Societies have elect.
cd their contestants for the regular
June contest and the Interstate
Contest, both of which promise to
be lively affairs, as the Societies
here have some able men in the
field.
Some of the students are arrang
ing for course Of popular lectures
to be gwen here during the winter
and spring terms. The absence Of
this course was very noticeable last
year. These lectures are very prof.
table to all students, as they are
usually given by able and distln-
guished lecturers Of international
reputation, and it is to be hoped
that all students will give this
course their able support.
We will not worry you longer,
and Will close. STUDENT.

1t looks like Wheeling might
again capture the Democratic
State Convention. us she seems to
be the only place making fight
for it. AS the last one was held
there and the one before that at
Parkersburg It looks like it ought
to go to Charleston or some place
in the southern part of the State
this time.

1t is with pleasure that we note
the handsome new dress Of the
Glennyille Pathfinder and the
splendid print and newsy appear
ance generally of this excellent
paper. Now if Col. Wat Warren
will print it all at home he will
have one of the very best papers in
the State and it can be made 10

much prefer it.

The Democratic State Committee
is called to meet at Charleston next
Thursday, January 25th, to agree
on time and place for holding
the next Democratic State Con-
ventlon. This evidently means an
early convention snd long and
hard fought campaign. 1t is also
putting on a bold front as it is
generally left to the party in
power to take the lead in such
matters.

years ago. and in order TO bring the
matter before the directors for action

DUBUQUE SEEMS EXCITED.
Worried Over Prospects OF Losin.
Forty-ninth Iowa Band Head

Worried Over Prospects OF Losing
Forty.ninth Iowa Band Head
quarters.
Judging from the Dubuque Globe
Journal that city is considerably wor-s
ried ove- the prospects OF losing the
headquarters of the regimental band Of
the Forty-ninth Iowa, which MARSHALL
town is aspiring to obtain: The reasons
why Dubuque should retain the head
quarters are given In the following ar
ticle by the Globe-Journal:
The Dubuque military band of the
Iowa National Guard is the one that
should. and Col. Dows will probably
think SO. be recognized first of all. This
is the Oldest military band In the state
and one of the very few old organiza-
tiors of the kind in the United States. 1t
was in the National Guard for sixteen
years and at inspections received the
highest percentage as a. military band
Of any in the United States. With the
exception Of the Seventy-first, OF New
York, the percentage being $50 and 80
per cent respectively. 1t is equipped
complete for camp duty with the ex-
ception Of the regulation uniforms. The
band can go out on a moments notice
and go thru the regular.routine of work,
where any other band would have to
spend months to learn. Further 1t has
just as many old Fcrty-ninth Iowa.
United States volunteer members in the
Organization as any band in the state,
and as all the Forty-nlnth officers are
elected to their former positions in the
National Guard. why not give the old
band back Its former position? Among
the members of the Dubuque band are.
Charles c. Holt, chief musician, and F.
q. Roedell, principal musician of the
Forty-ninth, and 1t is their whole desire
to become members of the new guard.
AS to superiority of the bands which
would have q chance for the position,
none can compare with the old First
regiment band. 1t has taken first prize
at all competitions With the exception
of the one held in Kansas City during
the Wopdmen's encampment. and there
1T competed with twenty-nine of the
best bands in the United States. and.
at that captured the second prize.
Should Col. Dows appoint the old
First regiment band, also honoring Mr.
Holt, who went to the front and
brought out the best band In the Sew
enth army corps, to the position which
1t seeks In the new Forty-ninth Iowa
guards. he VIII then and there speak the
sentiment OF the entire regiment
The fact that dubuque has always

the city should have 9 lifelong lease on

REPORT ON LIBRARIES.
We have II libraries done up in neat
boxes containing from Is to 10 volumes.
We place them In the homes from two
weeks to two months. or as long as the
family desire. They are Intended to
supply reading for the entire family,
having works on history. politics. hy-
giene, poetry and fiction for old and
young. Each library is named for the
person or club who donated 1T, except
the first which la the Judd, named for
the first president Of the o. c.. and the
manuel Bayard, which was named by
Mr.. Price for his favorite character in
fiction.
One library has been lost by being in
a house with diptheria, 1t was decided
to leave 1t there rather than run any
risk.
In the four years which the libraries
have been out, two books have been
lost, and forty have been worn out and
replaced. This year one library has
been read 3 times. two eight times,
three six times. one Ave times and
three four times, making sixty trans
lSfers in the year ending April I, 1900.
The number of libraries in the field
| will remain the same despite our loss,
thanks to Mrs. G. H. E. Boardman. who
presents us with one which vi be sent
out at once.
We have a reserve supply in the store
room from which we replace those lost
or worn out. Respectfully submitted.
MRS. NJ. f. WHITEHEAD.
