THEY SAT IN SHADY SEATS.

All the shady seats in Union square

There were plenty of vacant ones in
the sun, but It was a scorching hot
day. A young man and girl strolled
into the park from Broadway and,
finding no place to rest, obtained by
strategem what they could not get
by fair means.
Standing near enough to the sitters
to be heard, the young man remarked: :

The report that one of the Wrights
was to do an open-air stunt spread
rapidly, and as the Metropolitan tower
could not be seen from the choice spot
in which the youth had elected to Sit

An eastern magazine published two
letters from the south touching upon
the negro, and incidentally illustrating
the two standpoints from which the
black man in the south is usually
viewed. The first letter quotes from

force of circumstances lying far be.

undisciplined brutal element of our
population. he has not been a sue
cess. Schooling, discipline and encour-
agement in good tendencies may I'M

ter was from the secretary OF the
Board of Trade of Little Rock, Ark,
a man who is working for the mate
rial and spiritual growth OF his COM
munity and the south, and who is
not afraid that the negro will out
distance him in the race of life. The
letter follows: Say something when
you can about the requirement of
real estate by the negroes. The ne
groes on the farm are improving
steadily. Yesterday we had a call
here from Dave Nelson, sixty eight
years old. who owns eighty acres Of
bottom lsnd-cotton land-sixteen
miles from Little Rock. He is worth
about ten thousand dollars and is a
fine farmer; but the point | want to
bring out is that he is bringing in
his first years crop of Elberta peaches
in addition to cotton, and these
peaches will average four bushels to
the tree. Nelson is as black as the
ace of spades. but is a good farmer

The Record is in hearty accord with
the results achieved by Booker T.
Washington. It looks like pin-headed
Judgment to be constantly assailing
some non-essential idea. Booker T.
Washington is easily the most con-
structive negro in this country This
is best illustrated not only by the cour-
tesy with which he is treated every
where, but also by the generous re-
sponse made to the appeals he makes.
Booker T Washington represents an
idea, a substantial idea, an idea of con-
stantly enlarging growth. There may
be things said and done by him with
which we may not agree, but are those
things of sufficien Importance to cause
the maligning and villifying insinua-
tions that some delight in casting?
Brethren. there is no use in begging
the question, the man who succeeds in
giving the negro the largest oppor-
tunity and preparation in meeting the
requirements of this strenuous life is
the man whom the negro needs.-Day-

committee of prominent colored

citizens of the metropolis. During the
administration of Mayor GaynOr he
has been especially solicitous OF the
welfare and interest OF the colored
portion of New York's population.
This friendly attitude has commended
itself to the better thinking class OF
colored citizens and, to show the may

to make a presentation to his honor.
The presentation occurred in the AL

of the metropolis. The movement on

several addresses expressive OF the

Mayor Gaynor were made. Bishop

C0LbYaC0LLEGE HAS
BRIGHT OUTLOOK
4 Large Entering Class, Important
Faculty Changes and Good Athletic
Material.

Since President A. ]. Roberts took
office at Colby each year has found
her one round closer to the top of the
ladder. Her 92nd year, which started
last week, gives prospect of being the
banner year.
Every grad who prides Colby as
their Alma Mater will be pleased to
know that each class is rapidly grow
ing; the entering class of Sept q
numbered ITO men.
This year has found many new ad-
dltions to the faculty. DR.. C. A.
Grove, until recently with the bureau
of standards in Washington, d. c..
mas arrived to take charge of the
physics department, a vacancy left
open by the resignation of Prof. Gil
bert lolman. The English department
Will be further increased by In
structors S. B. Neff, who has pursued
three years of graduate study at Har-
ward and Yale, and A. F. McLeary, a
graduate of Harvard
The mathematics department owing
to the resignation of Prof. Francis j j..
Holder, will be headed this year by
the well-known mathematician, DR.. T.
B. Ashcroft, a graduate of Wake
Forest college and John Hopkins uni
versity, while the department will be
additionally strengthened by Prof
Henry Trefethen of the Maine Yves
leyan seminary of kents Hill, who has
been an extensive contributor to as
Economical and mathematical journals.
Dr. Roberts with degrees from Yale
university will assist in the chemical
department.
The improvements about the college
have been many, including the new
dormitory, now ready for occupancy,
also the renoyating of the other dor
mitories, remodeling of the physical
laboratories until they now have all
the facilities for the maintenance of
efficient courses. The new dormitory
which has an ideal situation at the
northern end of the campus, is of at
tractive architecture, and with it's two
room suites, reception reading room
and excellent toilet facilities. Colby
students will now have all the COM
forts offered at the larger university.
Another movement toward progress
siveness was the total abolition of
hazing. In an appeal before the three
upper classes President Robinson eX-
pressed his disapproyal of the original
forms of hazing. In recognition of his
desires Bloody Monday always frown-
ed upon by the faculty and feared by
the freshmen, passed with but a few
harmless pranks, which were merely
humiliating to the freshmen and
vaudeville for the sophomores.
The Dramatic club, one of the lead
ing organizations in college, expects
to have a banner year again Mgr
Fitzpatrick and Pres. j. p. Dole are
hard at work and will announce the
play for the year in the near future.
Last year the club took an extensive
trip through Aroostook, in the spring
vacation and they plan to take the
same trip this year. was short trip
through Massachusetts and New
Hampshire, during the Christmas
holidays. The management has a
strong coach in view and the outlook
is exceedingly bright for a successful
