AT the cotipocation exercises last
Monday morning. the students had the
pleasure of lists.ng to most inter
estiiig talk by DE- Boyle, professor pf
political economy at the university. He
spoke oil Annapolis and the Naval
Academy and the talk was one of I'M.
tls,lal interest to all. He told Of his
own experiences while preparing to en-
ter that great academy, of his hopes, his
fears. his trials and pleasures and at
the same time gave all very good pic,
t,tre of the academy and its student
life. $5

beautiful and the old cityin which it
stands, IS the picture Of old-fasliioned
beauty " The winding streets are. a
source of much trouble to the northern
visitor. % .4l IN

sical and mental, are rigorous, indeed

ulty. Altogether, the young men who
go to Annapolis. evidently spend four
years of their life in no mere play.

the Students and all hope to hear him
