THE ADYTUM. 13 well lighted at night by lamps, another long felt want. But in the midst of our success as an institution, there are some things, as there must be, which might be improved. Though we have, to say the very least, one of the most able Faculties in Ohio, there are some changes which if made, would not only please a large majority of the students, but would remove actual hin- drances to our college work. Of course, no names are mentioned, but it is hoped that, if the eye of the author- ities should chance to light on this, they will take a men- tal glance over our body of instructors, find out who could best be spared, and act accordingly. On the whole, however, the outlook for our college has never been so bright as it now is. Let the people of Ohio realize that no school in the State has a higher curriculum, a more competent set of teachers, or better mental and moral advantages generally, and the future success of Denison University is assured.

Beginning the year, as it did, with the bad odor of a debt and levy clinging to its garments, from the course last year, it has bravely surmounted all obstacles, and will close the year with money in hand and an excellent record. For the former blessing we have to thank Providence, for the latter, the Lecture Committee. In the oratorical line Denison has this time obtained her dues. The first place, which was ours by right last year, but which we were robbed of by a person who made use of his position as Secretary of the Inter-State Oratorical Association, to gratify a personal spite, was awarded to our representative on the Ohio State Con- test last February. We must not forget to mention some of the improve- ments which have been made about the college grounds. A ' ' Campus Improvement Association has been or- ganized among the students, through the efforts of Mrs. Dr. Anderson, for the purpose of beautifying the campus. Under its watchful care beds of flowers have been set out which add greatly to the attractiveness of the place. The walk up the steep hill has been facilitated by the building of a set of steps, which are duly appreciated by those who have to climb the hill a number of times a day in all sorts of weather. Trees have been set out on each side of the steps, which will in time, no doubt, add their share of beauty and comfort. The campus is
