The academy having been destroyed 'by fire the previous year, we were obliged to attend classes in various buildings in town, The new College building was not yet completed. The church was used both for a chapel and a class room. Other classes were conducted in the Rink, Village hall, dining hall, and the Bank.

He filled our brain with strange signs. and figures and the professor's class record with zeros. Gradually the enemy surrendered, and we turned to a new and powerful onefLatin. This enemy used different tactics of war than did Algebra, and we became so bewildered that if the teacher asked us to conjugate a noun or decline a verb we would do our bestg then on perceiving the amused smiles and knowing looks of our instructor and the rest of the class, would sit down in con- fusion. . But we soon found that this enemy, too, was not as powerful as he appeared and believing in the motto, 'flsabor
