which Prof. Lipscomb led in
prayer. Short addresses of wei.
come were then given by the
president, Dr.. X. w. Jones of the
faculty, and Rev. N. w. P. Bacon
pastor of the Baptist church of
Oxford. After the addresses, all
were at liberty for awhile to be-
acquainted and to meet each
other, which is the main purpose
of this reception. Some time was
spent very pleasantly in This way,
but an announcement by the presi.

store for them put an end to this
part Of the program, and all were
then invited to partaks of the
generous supply of refreshments.
Some fingered for awhile to hear

Being asked yesterday why this should be so. a well known bookseller said: "I think, in the first place. that the reason lies with the public, who do not like to have the price of book marked, much less printed, on it. They object to what they regard as a disfgure- ment; and, secondly, booksellers dis like the idea, because, for one thing, it rather seems to conflict with the discount m.'--London Chronicle,
