friend of the College has furnished the means for the construction of a new athletic field and out-of-door gymnasium ; a need which has been felt for a long time, and the satisfaction of which will be of untold benefit to the students. This was one of the wants mentioned in the last College Bulletin, issued only a few months ago. Another among the number was the need of an electric lighting plant. This, too, is now an assured reality, and the new plant will be set up during the coming sum- mer. Quite a number of other improvements are being planned, and, from the success obtained thus far, we may be confident that they will materialize before many more classes leave the College walls. Looking forward to the years to come, the future seems bright with promise. Like a goodly vessel that has weathered many a storm and still right proudly holds on her course, the old College, though she has passed through some rough weather at times, is yet right seaworthy withal, and, with the promise of fair weather ahead, will, we doubt not, yet help many a voyager on life ' s broad ocean to his desired haven. Let those, then, whom she has helped in the past show their loyalty to the mother who nourished them so tenderly by clinging to her yet more affectionately in the future.
