the pressing need for work on the mineral collection. There are between six and seven thousand specimens in the collection, and when I reached Evanston I found they had been moved to a different room during vacation. The chaos which reigned would be hard to imagine and it took some time to arrange the specimens in the exhibit cases and gather the study collection in the drawers ready for the use of the students. This, with the work of cataloguing and giving each mineral a permanent number and label has taken practically all of my spare hours. The work is nearly complete, and 1 am hoping soon to have the work in shape so I will be able to take more time for study and sec some of the interesting things to be seen in a city the size of Chicago.

When Prof. Parks left for Chicago and was succeeded by Dr. Bevis. it was arrange for the latter to take the place of the former in the Senior Class as a “Class Teacher.” Our “Coming Out exercises were not of such a boisterous nature as the Fourth Years’, but were in keeping with th dignity of the class. It consisted of: The class yell, accompanied by the bringing forth of the white lamb” and the o cow bell, Senior heirlooms, the presentation of class colors, in the form of bouquets of purple and white asters, to eac of the Class Teachers,” and an appropriate speech by our president. One of the many good things done by us this year was the beautifying of the Senior Room, number seventeen. Havii thoroughly cleaned the room early in the year, it was thought to be a good idea to purchase some suitable pictures whi might be left as a memento of our class. Accordingly, a beautiful picture of the “Doge’s Palace by Moonlight was select© and, after being framed, was hung on the cast wall. A framed photograph of ”Our Mascott, Baby Ruth.” was also add« to the collection of pictures in room seventeen. •Gov. Mead didn’t seem to fee! very sorry for them. — Editors.
