yrecation until June I. says the
Post. hv which time the council
hopes tc have its new minister III

DR.. Scherer's installation as pres

it was hoped by some. at least: that
he would be able to come to New

become acquainted with the present
student body Of the college. so as
not to be handicapped in whatever
canvass he MAY desire to make dt1r-
