dinner given by the Western Alumni Asso-

On account of the increased number of
new students and the additional work thus
placed upon the Dean it has been found
advisable, as we'll as necessary, that di-
visions, each consisting of about eight
Freshmen, should be formed. Each di-
vision is under the supervision of some
member of the Faculty, thus dividing the
work, which would be impossible for one
man to superintend, among several. A copy
of the following letter has been sent to
each Freshman:

mate acquaintance between the faculty and
the students, and to give to new students
means of readily obtaining friendly advice,
each first year student is assigned to some

named as your adviser.
He will be glad to see you at any time and
to furnish you such assistance as you may
require. By consulting the Freshman bul,
letln board you will learn the places and
times where he may conveniently be seen.
Very truly yours,
j. n. HART, Dean.
The above does not mean that the advis
ers shall be in any sense the guardians of
the students assigned to them. Its only
object is to give the students means OF
readily obtaining friendly advice.

The Campus" which for several years
has been a bi-weekly publication, has now
in reality become a weekly. Oct. 10th the
opening number of the change, which has
come about after much deliberation and
hard work, was issued. There is no doubt
that the Campus" should be weekly pa
per, and, although there are still obstruc-
tions in its way, the hearty cooperation
which the students of Maine are sure to
give will soon remove these difficulties.
The first band concert will be given in the
