seifishness is ont of place. The re-
straining and educating influences of
college are not limited TO the rules
and regulations or the teachings of
the faculty. They are to be found in
the unwritten laws of the students
themselves, in the generally accepted
rules of college etiquette of honor, of
self-respect and of fair dealing.
The class organizations. the infor-
NAL coteries of personal friends. the
literary societies. the gymnasium, the
military companies, the football and
baseball clubs. all play their part in
knitting the students together in the
bonds of good fellowship. and in teach
ing them the necessity of mutual
forbearance and federation and all the
various little proprieties of mans es-
tate which are so essential to success
in after years. Boys who are bright,
shine in the class room, others take
the head in athletics and upon the ball
grounds and elsewhere, inequalities
become relative and are carried up and
all are encouraged. In the dormitory
there is community of life where
generous nature can be cultivated,
the rights and needs of all acknowl-
edged, and youth is fitted TO take part
in that broader life without which
this is but the preparation.
''Then last. but not least. are the
genial and restraining influences
which flow from the College y M.
y. A. Consider we'll. therefore, the
responsibilities resting upon you to
make the best use of the opportunities
presented TO you at college, not mere
ly that you may benefit yourself, but
that you may qualify yourself for the
duties that lie before you. Have en-
thusiasm in all yon undertake, pro-
mote the best interests of your COM
munity and unitedly support the
efforts of those who undertake duties
of leadership. The Doctor deliver
ed special address this afternoon at
! o'clock to the students of the prepar-
atory department, in the absence of
Prof. q. w. Stryker, who is not ex-
pected TO return until the last of this
week. owing TO the precarious condi-
tion of his aunt, Mrs. Smith, who
was injured in a railroad accident.
Today the regular sessions at the col
lege began, and the students were
classified and assigned to seats in the
chapel and recitation rooms. AT the
chapel exercises this morning every
seat was occupied and many students
were Obliged TO stand 1t is the first
time sucn condition of affairs has
existed for years. The student body
is expected to be larger this year than
ever before, and the outlook is most
encouraging. During the summer a
number of improvements have been
made At Humphreys Hall new mat
tings have been put on all the dormi-
tory floors, and new beds placed in
the rooms. Pinkney Hall has also
been improved, many of the rooms
having been papered and fixed up.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion of ST. Johns College gave their
annual reception on Saturday evening
to the students, the old ones renew
ing acquaintance and the new stu
dents becoming acquainted. The reg
ular Y M. g. A. meetings will be re-
newed next Sunday. Messrs. Oehm
q Co., Baltimore, have their represen-
tative here measuring the students for
their uniforms. Several of the stu
dents who are working their way
through college are assisting in the
dining hall, and making themselves
generally useful. Others are engaged
as correspondents from the college to
local papers. At IL O'Clock Saturday
