A new College paper, The Mercury, has been started. It is conducted by the societies, and is thoroughly representative of the institution. Clarence J. Reddig, of Shippensburg, has established a Junior Oratorical Prize of 525. A bell, the giit of XVIII. J. Glatfelter, '86, of Spring Forge, and a clock, donated by Mrs. John lVise1nan, of Philadelphia, now grace the tower of Recitation Hall. Charles Baum, MD., of Philadelphia, has established a Sopho- more Prize of 3500, the income of which is to be given to the best student in inatheinatics. The institution has lately been the recipient of a 36,000 bequest from David Shaffer. After careful deliberation, we decided to adopt the present size for the SPECTRUM, deeniing last year's book too large. Being of the opinion that this book will reach many who did not subscribe for last year's annual, we have thought it advisable again to insert a view of all the buildings. We desire to thank all those who have aided us in our work. Special thanks are due Messrs. Crilly and Culler for their artistic designs. Reader, if a stray ray from the SPECTRUM happens to strike you and dazzle you somewhat, pray don't gnash your rnolars and cuss us, it won't blind you. lWe bear malice towards none, but charity towards all.

N publishing the third volume offthe SPECTRUM, it has been our aim to make it a thing of beauty and interest in the eyes of our own classmates. If in after years, as they turn over the leaves of this book, pleasant memories shall rush o'er them, then are we satisfied with our work. If they shall proudly say to the progenal group around the knee, That was an effort Worthy the Class of l94, then have we not labored in vain. We have supplicated Athena and the Muses that they inspire us. XVe have endeavored to crack a few jokes, and even if you can't see the point, laugh anyhow, out of respect to our patron, the merry, jesting Wamba. -f Since the last issue, a few events have transpired at old Penn- sylvania that may be of interest to her sons. Many of the Alumni will be surprised and perhaps grieved to hear that the name of their alma mater has, practically, been changed from Pennsylvania to Gettysburg College, and that no longer will these hills ring with ' Rah I 'Rahl 3 Rah! 'Rah ! ' Rah! ' Rah ! Penn-syl-va-ni-a I but the new yell ' Rah I ' Rah I ' Rah I ' Rah I ' Rah I ' Rah! ' Rah! Get-tys-burg! will startle them. All things considered, the change is for the better. Our College has been con- founded with other institutions in the State bearing a somewhat similar name, and ofttimes the glory we have achieved has gone elsewhere. II 1 34-rg-4 l gl 5 l l
