ing The main feature of the pro-
gram vas the "Recitative and Aria
sung by Miss Gertrude McKy. AL
ways a Whitman favorite, she outdid
herself this morning in her rendition
Of I1ayCn's creation The anthem
20 How Amiable," Barnaby, given by
a mixed chorus of 20 voices, was ine.
The voices blended excellent1y and
the marks OF Professor Pencils work
are already plain. Invocation, scrip
ture reading by President Penrose
and singing by all the students COM
rangement the numbers of the hymns
are shown on a board behind the plat
form. This allows the program TO
proceed without the Interruptions
caused by announcing them.

At the time Of going TO press a
unique rally is being held up at the
Memorial building under the auspices
of the Young Women's Christian as

Hall for Literary and Christian AS
sociations.
The room in the building occupied
by the Christian associations and this
year by the literary societies is to be
nicely fitted up for the better accom-
modation of these activities. The ex-
pense of these improvements, which
will probably be between 800 and
5000, will be shared between the COT
lege and the societies.
Freshman Activity.
The freshies are already planning
to do deeds that will be remembered
about Whitman in the years to come.
The class numbers between 40 and 80
members, and being the largest in the
history of the institution, feels that
it should do something bigger than
has ever been done by freshmen be-
fore. While no formal meeting has
been held for several days, scarcely b
night passes without little secret con-
ferences of the faithful. 1t is whis-
pered about that this class on ac-
count of it's numbers would scorn a
victory to easy" as a rough or tum-
bic can rush would afford them
The verdant representatives of the
naughty seven aspire to the honor of
having their class emblem float from
the top Of the weather vane Of the
Memorial building.
This is no easy task as has been
discovered by every class which has
unsuccessfully attempted it since the
building was constructed. But with
the modesty characteristic of the
genius freshman they boast their abll-
ity to solve the "unsolvable' problem
and slyly hint of schemes many and
feasible for getting it up there.
The present sophomore class,
though not so numerous as their riv
ais, proved last year that they were
'rustlers." They have perfect work
ing organization and lively times may
be looked for in the near future.
New Filing System.
A magnificent Macy filing case
was added to the furniture Of Presi-
dent Penroses Office yesterday after
noon. This is one of the largest and
most complete cases put out by this
firm. A new system of filing college
correspondence will be inaugurated
so that complete check may be kept
on every case.
New blackboards and materials foi
mechanical drawing were received at
the same time. The new boards will
be placed in the rooms which have
been used for recitation rooms for the
first time this year.
