recently, as to the progress being
made on the winter uniforms He
was to busy at the time, however,
to waste many minutes in talk, and
consequently not very much was
learned. When asked how soon the
said uniforms would be ready, he
stated briefly that if they were not
finished by the first Of next month,
they would in all probability be
sometime after.n Asked how many
he now had on hand, he replied that
he had quite q number, more or
less, and that there would be more
soon" However, Judging by the

interviewer states that everything
will be in shape by the time cold

An Eastern College Professor in
recent speech was quoted as say
ing: The loss of outward liberty is
compensated the by gain in inward
freedom" But to us fellows this
can hardly apply. The Professor
perhaps was not thinking Of the pen
itentiaries. If we could invite him
to spend short time with us he
quite likely would change his line
of talk. When one comes here his
outward liberties are at once lost,
and as to gaining inward freedom
by such loss who ever did?
