night. These lectures promise 70
Be especially interesting TO the peo-
pie of Williamsburg. who are in
vited to be present.
The holidays are almost upon Us
now. and in a few days. the students
of William and Mary will DC scat
tered over the state. Many viii
leave before the holidays begin. and
doubtless many will be late in re-
turning. With some this will be a
matter OF necessity. owing to the
poor means of transportation to
many sections Of our state; TO others
II will be a matter of choice. For
the benefit of new students. We
would like to give a little advice.
While home. lay aside ali thoughts
of books. and enjoy yourselves to
the utmost. but do not delay your
return unnecessarily. Absence from
single lecture is sometimes a seTi-
Gus matter. Il is possible that in
some one lecture an important point
may come up tor discussion that
viii not come up again. and around
which a considerable portion OF the
examination in that subject NAV
hinge. So that sometimes absence
from a single lecture may cause fail
ure or the examination.
On last Thursday. at twelve
o clock. lectures were suspended
for the first college hour. Dur
in this hour il is intended that the
faculty and entire student body vii
come together for a personal dis
cussion of affairs around college.
