We learn that a report is in circu-
lation throughout certain parts of the
state that there is a great amount Of
sickness i'm Mitchell in the form Of
contagious diseases, and that a point

contagious diseases.

looked at it in the same light and
this presentation Of the bibles was
an indication to the president that
hereafter he could count on the loyal
support Of the fifty Freshmen in any
way he might ask. Mr.. Crowthers
