We call the attention Of our
readers to the advertisement OF
Tulane University published in
this issue. The advantages Of
fered by Tulane for real college
work in letters and in science are
unsurpassed in any of our South
ern Universities. Tulane is the
largest urban University in tfe
South, and has just completed the
most successful session in its his
tory, with ninety-one instructors
and 1861 students, and the pros
poets for the coming year are still
more tlattering. 1t has large aid
well-equipped laboratories and
workshops, libraries, twenty tine
buildings, and ample grounos.
Owing to the reasonable rates IN
the dormitories, the expenses OF
student at Tulane are low, and
opportunities are afforded students
of limited means to help pay their
way through. 1t is the announc-
ed policy OF the President, that, in
the academic departments, no
boy, ii properly prepared for COL
lege work, will be turned away
from its door from inability to
pay tuition fees. We recommend
the University to parents having
sons or daughters who are thinking
OF going to college.

Eternal Mystery,
Therefore, be it, Resolved by
Franklin Lodge No. 81, F. and A.
NJ, That by the death of Brother
w. H. Cook, Masonry has lost an
old member who, through all the
years of his young manhood, and
up to the time when the coming
Shadows of Death, enervated with
sickness and feebledess, his body
was its active, constant and
faithful disciple. AS we have
consigned his body to our Mother
Earth, so do we now command
his Spirit to the peace of the Ma
sonic God.
Resolved, That we do now ex-
tend our sincere sympathy to his
grief stricken widow and chill
dren.
