FORMAL
OPENING.

Enthusiastic,

hundred and seventeenth session of
William and Mary College was held
last Friday night in the college
chapel amid an enthusiasiasm that
was beautiful. With the largest at
tendance at the same period of any |
year in the history OF the institution, |
and under more auspicious oircum-
stances than ever before. 1t is not
strange that the occasion was enthu-
siastic.
At 8 o'clock the faculty. wearing
the cap and gown of their respective
institutions, entered and were greet
ed with a wild outburst Of applause.
After the invocation. DR.. Charles
+. Bishop made a charming address,
closing with several verses o. poetry
in which he sang the praises of VII
liam and Mary. He said William
and Mary was the ideal college for
the education Of young men for
which the people were looking.
Ideal, first because of its traditions;
second, because of its age, blend
ing youth and hoary age. We are
200 years young and twenty years
old; third, because Of its aggressive
faculty. The speaker said there
were more travelled men in the fac
ulty os this college. more men who
had recently returned from abroad
with new inspirations than any other
college in the state.
D. Lyon @. Tyler. the president,
followed in a happy address Of vel
come TO the new men, giving them
words of encouragement in the work
before them. Right conduct, clear
living and honest work was tn,
theme of his talk. He expected
the very best Of the men before him
but did not expect or require III,
impossible. To illustrate this poin,
he quoted two conditions a man ma,

was doing-paralyzed or dead.

BOARD. OF WORKS
LAYS ASIDE BILL
/. FOR NEW LAMPS
Will Await Developments in
Business Associations Fight
Over Market Street Lighting.
ILLUMINATION. DOES NOT
SATISFY MERCHANTS
Reply from Public Service Cor
pOration, Which Is Making
Tests, Now Awaited.

Following the decision of the Market
Street Business Mems Association not
to pay for the present its share of the
Public Service Corporations bill for
the rental of the flaming arcs in Market
street, the lighting committee of the
Board of Works this afternoon decided
sto await developments.
The committee received the bill for
the entire amount-$S43.3 81. This was
for rental of the lamps from July IA
to July 81. The city pays a share and
receives a check for the balance from
the Business Mems Association. This
check is transmitted to the corpora
ton.
Commissioner George H. Lambert
brought up the matter and called he
attention of the committee to the story
in he morning edition of the STAR.
Then it was decided to lay the bill aside
until the Market street business men
had learned whether or not the lamps
are as bright and powerful as those in
South Broad street.
LIE DuSlilcSS lllcll ) dSSOGldllOn, dt d
meeting held In Eisner's Hall last
night. declared alphabetically that the
lights were far from satisfactory. There
was not a dissenting voice when a vote
was taken to see who were satisfied
with the lights and who were not.
B. ]. Sugarman, chairman of the
lighting committee, said that he was
awaiting a report from the Public Serv-
ice on the efficiency of the lights, which
had been promised within the mex five
or six days. The tests, he said, were
being made now. :
Mr.. Oliver said that he felt assured
from conversation with the chairman
of the lighting committee of the Board
of Works INC with other city officials
that if the Market Street Business
Mems Association proves that the
lights in Market street are not of the
same efficiency as the lights in South
Broad street, the Board of Works will
take action to force the Public Service
Corporation to fulfill its contract.
After discussion Mr.. Oliver with
drew his motion, as 1t was pointed out
by Mr.. Sugarman that if the report
proved unsatisfactory action could be
taken by the association along the
lines suggested. AS soon as the report
from the Public Service Corporation
has been received a special meeting will
be called to consider it.
