University Notes /

The librarian at the university has
just fnisched another caro- catalogue
called the authors catalogue. The
cards are arranged alphabetically ac-
cording to the names of the authors,
and differs from the catalogue in use
at present in hat that one is arranged
according to subjects, as Political
Economy. History. Philosophy, etc. In
the near future a new catalogue will be
started in which the titles O. the books
are alphabetically arranged. so that
the library will raGsess three different
ways of classifying its books, and no
trouble will be found in finding what
eve is desired. In all yer l 900 cards
have been prepared since the first of
last September.

At assembly Tuesday morning, u
very pretty duet was sung by Misses
Grace Peabody INT Alice Marsh. Such
exercises are highly enjoyed by every
one, and it would be well If something
of this nature vas prepared for every
assembly.
Preparations for the competitive
drill between the companies were be-
gun yesterday. Both companies were
taken out or the parade ground and
instructed in the important features of
the contest and warned hat good work
must be done in order to be given a
c~reditable mark. Company drill was
then given with every attention to de-
tail. Although the date for the con-
test has not been definitely set. it will
probably be held some time next May,
and, at the same time. the competitive
drill for the best individual soldier will
also be given.
The high water mark in the enroll.
ment of students has at last been
reached. Two hundred and five stud
ents are at present enrolled, and be-
fore the year is over, this number will
doubtless be much augmented.
The janitors at the university are
still at work raking up the campus
and burning the rubbish strewn over
it On the whole, the campus now pre-
sents a creditable appearance.

Owing to the insufficient water sup
ply the work in the chemical laborato-
ry was shut down yesterday. AS this
laboratory Is on the third floor of the
Science han, when the water pressure
is low it is almost Impossible to get
the necessary amount there.

The cadet ball given last Friday was
a great success. Although full &C
counts are not yet in, it appears that
there was no financial loss and that
everything was entirely satisfactory.

AS the indoor target practice is al
most over, the long distance shooting
will begin some time in the near flu

Sharpshooter's badges will be given to
every one who makes a s~harpshooter's
score.
