Chair
HALLOWELL SPEAKIN NC
PRIZES ANNOUNCED

The platform of the chapel looked
pretty bare Tuesday morning. owing
to the lack Of the big chair. which has
for a long time graced this ancient
hall, and has been the accustomed
throne of the president of the college,
At the announcements Of President
Roberts made after the prayer services
it was learned that during the passing
Of the previous night, this time hon
ored piece Of furniture presented some
time ago by a benevolent class. had
been taken from its usual place aud
mounted to the top of the flag pole in
front Of Memorial hall, where. due to
the massive weight of the chair and
the fraility Of the rope on the flag staff,
the burden had proved too much, and
the chair dropped to the ground, re-
sulting in total demolition. Along with
the announcement o. this catastrophe.
President Roberts spoke Of many little
things which the students persisted in
doing, and which resulted in nothing
except a marring of the little beauty
with which the campus Of Colby is
adorned. The grounds have been put
in excellent condition this year. and
under the supervision Of Mr.. Sort with
a fine squad Of attendants. 1t is hoped
that the campus may be in the pink Of
condition by Commencement. The boys
have been playing baseball in front Of
some Of the fraternity houses, and the
effect on the lawns, to say nothing Of
the broken windows, has been anything
but pleasing. The last act, that Of ruin
ing a gift Of a former class, having
been brought to notice, it is hoped will
call the boys to mind in these mis-
chievous pranks, which as President
Roberts expressed it, belong to
backwoods college,"
