 At the regular meeting of Quinnipiac concIave, Improved Order of Hepta- sophs, held on Monday evening, eight applications were read and accepted, making about twenty-five applications received for the class to be initiated on May 27. The applicants must, how ever, be examined and approved by the medical examiner before they can be initiated, but it is expected that the greater part of the number will ap- pear on that evening and take the de- gree. The class will probably number about one hundred, number consid- cred large considering the short time for the canvass. Each member is earn estly urged to use his best effort to secure at least one candidate during the next three or four days.
