Zebulon loses a most enthusiastic, talented
and excellent citizen. The unfortunate
one insists that he is improving and will
be out soon thougii his condition is such
at present as to create grave concern.
Having entirely lost control of his body
below his waist line his condition is a
helpless one tho’ the brilliant mind and
keen intellect remains untouched.
The entire college community joins Dr.
and Mrs. Herndon with the young wife in
siucerest sympathy during this period of
dei>ression which all trust is but tempo
rary and are sending forth their warmest
petitions and wishes for the brevity of
community. Dr. Harper chose for hi*
subject, “Present Tendencies in Modern
Life,” and our only regret is that we
were not there to heaJ it- j
Afetr greeting acquaintences and mak

hours absence.
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL LABORA
TORIES.
Tlie north end of the ground floor in
the new gym building is rapidly being
rounded into shape for laboratory ser-
\''ice and bids fair to make a modern room
of tliat type. The space is really divided
into two rooms, one for physical and one
for chemical purposes. Lockers, shelves,
tables, drawers, apparatus stands and the
like are being placed. While this will
hardly be open for work any more this
season it will insure the young and as
piring scientists of future years that they
will have a place to work, modern in its
MiTiiiigfmeut and an equipment with
which to work that is worth while.
The unprecedented growth of the
scientific course as well as heavy increase
of patronage have made these changes im
perative.
BIG SURPRISE.
The announcement, on last Sunday
morning that rules would be cast aside
for the brief period of one hour on the
same afternoon, caused no little excite
ment among those fair ones who are fo»-
tunate or unfortunate enough to take
such things to heart. Nevertheless many
there were who did so nor have we heard
any adverse or destructive criticism of
the President’s attitude in this respect.
“Veria et iliutabilia semper femina.”
“Oui, monsieur.”

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS.
Following out the modern system of
municipal lighting, the college has de
cided to change its system of campus il
lumination. In the place of the old arc
lights will appear incande-scent bulbs of
five hundred volts power and then at fre-
nuent intervals between these small ones
of the two hundred caliber will appear.

’Tis easy enough to be pleasant
To one who is in his prime:
It’s profitable to be chummy
With one who's got coin all the time:
But the kind of a friend we all look for
And the one that’s wortli talking about
Is the one who stays close up beside you
When you're all in, down and out.

This man’s dominion.
