est interest shown by it's members, many
of whom have remained constant and In
defatigable in their zeal since the club

deserving work in which it Is employed
will be extended these gentlemen.
The report of the secretary and treas
urer, Mr., Davis Freeman, was very sat-
isfactory, showing the club to be num-
erically and financially in excellent con-
dition. Something of the extent of good
ii is accomplishing could be gathered
from that part of the report, touching
upon expenditures made in behalf
of young students at the university, who,
by their earnest application to studies
and duties have proved themselves worthy
of the assistance they are receiving from
the club Several of the benedciaries
have been gradually repaying the money
that was loaned them for the completion
of their course, and there ere two
three who have totally discharged their
Obligations leaving themselves absolute
ly free of debt and able to reap the bene-
fits that follow upon close and studious APP
plica<ion during a college career. In this
connection the club turned TO the cons.d-
Grafton of two more young men who are
applicants for loans, and a committee was
appointed, with power to act 90 investi-
gate their records and learn if they are
entitled to the aid of the organization,
which, as far possible, is extended
