rectorship of the department of

director has been secured. though it
is practically decided that Miss Grace
Courtney Jenkins, recently of San
Francisco, will have charge of the
work in violin and pipe organ and
render some assistance In piano
Miss Jenkins Is young woman of
charming personality and the finest
possible musical training She has
studied under the masters of this
country and also abroad The high
grade of her musicianship is attested
by the fact that for one year she was
the solo violinist with Sousa's band
and for two seasons travelled with
the Earnest Gamble Concert com
pany. The only contingency in her
employment is the condition of her
health. Her studio in San Francisco
htr nj hr,, ,,Iy
and since that time she has been in
a state bordering on nervous collapse.
She will come to Trinity If the con
dition of her health will justify and
will be a most valuable addition to
the social and educational life of
the town. She is lifelong friend
of Mrs. Turner's and will therefore
| find herself among friends although
a stranger to Waxahachie.

for the university and it now seems
that the attendance next fall will be
a record breaker. 1t was thought
for some time that Miss Mcclure,
the dean of women might be un-
able to return to us but she has I'M
ally decided to continue her work
which will be gratifying news to all
friends of the school. Miss Elsa
Mueller, the capable and versatile
teacher of modern languages, is
spending the vacation at Aguascali-

much of her time to the study of

will be offered next year. Mr. H. l..
| Williamson, the new head of the
commercial department, is campaign
ing for students in Dallas county
and the enthusiasm which he has
shown in his work hitherto indicates
that that department will have a
fiourishing year. Exceedingly salts
factory progress is being made on
Beeson Hall and, barring unexpected
delays in material, the building

of the plans and elevation indicate

its kind in the state Already a con-
siderable number of reservations
