THE STUDY OF MACBETH.
The graduating class gave the initial
entertainment of the series of literary
soirees that are to be given during the
next two months. The subject chosen
was the first act of Macbeth. Fhe stu
dents were assigned different characters
to be studied, and each then read the
part assigned to him. Julius M. Lopez
took the part of Duncan, Jos. s. CO.
meaux read the lines of Macbeth, VIM.
b. Hunter recited the part of Banquo,
Theo. G.. Uhlhorn read the lines OF La
dy Macbeth, George Delacroix related
the story OF Ross, while Antoine j.
Bureh and Jas. b. Aucoin told in their
own way the scenes of the witches and
other minor parts. AS test of elocu-
tion the class was warmly praised by the
President, Brother lsidore, who presid-
ed over the meeting of the students and
faculty. He called especial attention to
the necessity of clear enunciation and
gave a roast or two to some who failed 10
reach the excellence mark. After the
test of elocution came the most enter
tanning part OF the programme. 1t con-
sisted first in the recital from memory
of the choicest part Of the act. These
pieces were expected to be descriptive
OF persons, portrayals Of characters, or
to show the dominant passions that ex-
cite the actors. This portion OF the pro-
gramme was deemed of the highest or
der and was highly praised. The next
part of the entertainment was devoted to
the life OF Shakespeare, his works and
theil style. The information sought was
obtained by questions. Then critical
study of the play, Macbeth, was made.
This included study of blank verse,
the scanning of selected passages and
the pointing out of the figures of speech
and style as the passages were read to
the students. In his parting speech to
the class the President told them that the
standard of excellence attained was a
very high one, and one for which the
classes are to follow would do we'll to
strive.
MARDI GRAS CELEBRATION.
The students are busy making elabor-
ate preparation for the reception of Rex,
next Tuesday. His Majesty will arrive
at the College wharf about 2 P. M. on
the royal yacht Mizpah, after which he
will be escorted to the banquet hall by
his loyal subjects. A grand parade will
take place in the evening, which will be
followed by the annual ball. The pros
poets are that this celebration will be on
a grander scale than that of last year
which surpassed all former receptions.
SUCCESSFUL STUDY IN x RAY.
The graduating class has just COM
pleted the study of the magnet and in
duced currents. The experiments con-
Quoted during the week consisted in the
actual construction of a telegraph line,
and a series OF work on the principles OF
wireless telegraphy. On Monday night
the class held very highly interesting
meeting, during which they we're en-
tertained with series OF experiments
on x rays. The instruments used were:
high vacuum Crooke's tube, an induc-
ton coil capable of throwing ten-inch
spark and worked by double-piston
Foucault's interrupter. The series OF
experiments consisted in testing the PEN
etrating power Of the ray. The class
succeeded in seeing through IL inches OF
wood and f6 inches Of paper. Then a
subject who was willing was chosen and
clear view OF his whole body was OBJ
tanned: the spine, the ribs, and the
bones of the leg and arm were carefully
studied. A series Of fine photographs
was taken. One Of these is particularly
interesting as it plainly located a bullet
in a Students hand. The student had
BnOt NlHlbGil dDouV OLA ycehao @6Og am
asked to be submitted to the x ray that
tie bullet might be located. The model
was good one, and the photograph is
now on exhibition in the college muse
um and in the photographers window.
