Senator Burrows Of Michigan, who was
the most determined opponent of Cuban
reciprocity at the last session, and who
did more perhaps than any other senator
to defeat the administration bill, now adj
mits, after carefully investigating the Sit
uation at close range during the recess of
congress, that a 20 per cent reduction
would not seriously interfere with the
beet sugar industry Of his state. He will
not, therefore, oppose it If proposed. f..

as determined an opponent Of the Cuban
tariff reduction bill last session as Mr..
Burrows, said to-day: -. "

The 1902 Oracle.

Have you seen the 1902 Oracle? 1t
| is out, and it is a dandy, a credit to
the editors and the publishers, and to
the old college itself. 1t is larger,
much larger, than ever before. with
many more illustrations and numerous
new departments. Colby takes pride
in its annual. and tries to get out a
good one, every spring, but never has
a better one been issued than this year
The volume is dedicated to Presi-
dent Charles Lincoln White and an ex-
cellent cut of the new president APP
pears as frontispiece. However,
Sam" takes precedence and appears
on the title page itself. The -.olume
has 416 pages and about as many IL
Illustrations, many of them, teams,
groups etc, being half tones, and the
rest excellent drawings by undergradu-
ates. There are five individual
pictures of the seniors. There are
three new distinct literary depart
ments, The Year." "Annales" and
Miscellaneous" THE Year." gives an
account of the years proceedings from
the Presidents standpoint and from
that of an undergraduates, the latter
from the editors pen. There is no
distinctly editorial page in the Oracle,
so that the most of the editors opin-
ions on current events have to be
gathered from the department of
''roasts." Here the Oracle. touches di-
rectly upon the failings of the student
body. There, with equal candor, but
under the cover Of satire and bur
lesque, it discusses the members of the
faculty. Perhaps in no issue of the
Colby annual have they received more
critical attention. but it has all been
done in the spirit of sincere apprecia-
ton of their worth and abilities.
The "Annales" give in brief the
daily happenings, all of which are
sweetened with wit and humor. The
Miscellaneous" pages are devoted to
articles on various subjects all well
seasoned. There is also a write-up on
Athletics" The classes, fratcrnities
and various college organizations are
all given space. and no part of college
life is neglected. The literary portion
of the book is exceptionally large and
also of exceptional merit. Don't fail
to read it through.
The statistics of the Senior class are
more complete than ever before in
Colby Oracle. Much of the success
for the excellent issue Of the Oracle
should be given w. w. Drew, editor
in-chief. He has worked untiringly to
put out a good volume and has adj
mirably succeeded. The associate edi-
