 All would have been serene had not one of the silent orators scribbled upon the back of one of the orations an apology for it's being few hundred words long CT than the order called for.

As 1t happened the other member of the firm, who was absent, had committed the particular offense in question. The journalist who received the delegation indignantly denied their charges and pointed out that the initials signed were not his, and dropped a sug- gestion that further inquiry might em- barrass the institution more than the student The suggestion was adopted, and the faculty never suspected that there were seven other ready-to-use orations in their contest.

A Washington correspondent whose name Ts familiar to the readers of 8 prominent newspaper, and who Is still young enough to have friends in female sennaries. received a touching appeal from prospective graduate who wanted to write an assay upon immigration and hadn't the remotest idea as to how to be- gin. She hoped that he would respond 10 her distress signals. The response was in the form of an article upon immigration such as any well trained correspondent might send to his paper as Sunday feature" It was used without editing and the author was somewhat chagrined to learn that his essay had won the medal.
