semi-annual examination in all de
partments, and many an expectan
youth nervously awaits his 'smarks''
to know whether he "passed" O
'faIled'. The result of the exami
nation is combined with the result
OF the class standing Of each stu
dent, and the average Of these
determines whether the student as
passed or failed in any subject; bu,
the daily classwork throughout the
year is given twice as much weight
in making the average as is given to
the examinations marks. The teach
ers are hard at work grading the
examination papers, and will be
ready for the organization of the
new term on Monday, the 27th, &C
cording to schedule.
Everybody is looking forward
with great interest and pleasure to
the coming Of DR. <. AIphonso
Smith, professor of literature in
the State University at Baton
Rouge. who will lecture in the Audi
forum of the Institute on Friday
night, Feb 7. DR.. Smiths subject
will be upon some of his European

will give his hearers the greatest
pleasure and instruction. He is ,
'"ing the Industrial the honor Of
peaking upon invitation, and there
will accordingl, be no charge for
omission.
