Rhode Island seems to have been
struck by a wave of crime. The
double tragedy which occurred lately
in Glocester, was followed by the
shooting of DR.. Mohr, and now
comes the murder of Judge w. $.
Knowles, only few steps from his
home in Johnston. 1t is no wonder
that people are amazed and appalled,
by the horror of these awful things
The good reputation Of the state,
cannot but suffer in consequence.

THE ALUMNI LOAN FUND
OfThe University of Mississippi

(By Christopher Longest, Associate
Professor and Corresponding Secre-
tary of the Alumni Society,"
The most practical effort of the
University of Mississippi for Lending
aid to the University is establishing and
maintaining the Alumni Loan Fund.
In June 1895 the alumni of the Uni
versity Of Mississippi put into the con-
~stitution of the Alumni Society a clause
providing for the establishment of a
fund, to be known as the University of
Mississippi Alumni Fund, the purpose
University. by loaning them money on
| easy terms and in restricted amounts.
| The growth of this fund has been slow,
| and the benefits have of necessity been
small, but sufficient time has elapsed
to email lie US to form definite opinions
as to the advantages to be derived from
such an effort. The amount of the
fund reported by the secretary at the
regular meeting of the Alumni Society,
June /, 1914, was $1346. %. Of this
sum $500. 90 was in the hands of stu
deuts in outstanding accounts. At the
same meeting of the society more than
$500. 90 was subscribed to the Fund,
by Alumni and others.
Some further facts regarding this
fund:
l. Maximum time for loans to run, 5
years.
2. Interest, 5 per cen a year.
3. Borrowers must give notes signed
by two solvent sureties IA commercial
motel.
A. Borrowers must be students of the
University, though it might be suppos.
ed, the notes mature after the students
leave the University.
5. The maximum sum any student
may borrow in any year is 500. 90 (The
purpose is to help those who help them
~selves).
6. The fund is increased by gifts and
interest on loans.
Z. The loans are made and the notes
, collected by the corresponding secre'
tary of the Alumni Society without cos
except for postage.
] 8. No part of any loan has ever beer
lost.

PROGRESS IN BODYBUILDING.

A recent report OF the American Highway Association shows
gratifying progress in the building of good roads throughout the
country during 1914. The record of the year shows that $4,000
miles of surface roads have been constructed and for the past two
wears a total of $4,000. Since 1904 more than $4,000 miles OF such
roads have been constructed. Some idea of the progress made dur
ing the ten-year period is indicated in the statement that in 1904
there were only $4,000 miles of such roads in the United States
Fory-two States now have State highway departments, and thirty
