BELONGED TO MeDICI FAMILY
the Heraldie Device Of House
Famous in History.

During the Middle ages the Lom-
bards made practice OF lending
money at interest The MedIci family
was the first to turn the practice into
a profession.
Many years before, Ayerardo de Me-

distinction under Charlemagne the
Great, killed the giant Mugello. whose
club had three iron balls attached to
IL In order that II might be a more
effective weapon. For this reason the
family Of the Medlci adopted the three
HALLS, gllded, as the heraldic device on
their cOat-Of-arms, and the appearance
Of this insignia soon came TO be rec

"THE PRIVATE SECRETARY"

On Monday evening, May %, the
Senior Glass of the College will give,
in the Tabernacle, a play, "The Pri-
vate Secretary" In staging this
play, the Glass is reviving one Of the
classics Of the comedy stage which
has been popular for some time. The
version used is the one that brought
fame and fortune to the famous Eng
lish actor, Charles Hawtrey, in 1884.
The play did not meet with immedi-
ate favor then. but before it had run
its course, there had been 300 per-
formances-frst in the Comedy The
atre and later at the Globe, London.
In the first production the leading
character, that Of Rev. Robert Spald-
ing, was played by Fl. Beerbohne
Tree. As a promoter Of mirth, "The
Private Secretary" takes its place
with the best Of English farcial com
edies. The Glass will start with the
proceeds from this play a scholarship
fund for students Of the College.

do so remained over Sunday. The
