The Convocation exercises will be held Tuesday evening, September 17th, the address being delivered by Dr. Wendell T. Bush. This is a new departure. NEW GIFTS. rT ,HE Reed Manufacturing Company, of Erie, Pennsylvania, - - has presented the college with a complete set of dies, pipe cutters, and a vice for use in our water department. Such gifts are most useful and appreciated. The services of Mr. Elmer L,. Kelland, of New York, expert accountant, in auditing books and installing a new business system for the college accounts, is of great importance. It has been necessary for him to make several trips to the college during the year, besides sending one of his assistants for a month to go over the accounts. All of this work, including expenses of travel, an item of several hundred dollars, has been borne by Mr. Kelland and given as a donation to the college. Mr. W. T. Bush sends his personal check for $250 to help install a new sewer system. Miss Catherine Rose sends a gift for $5 for flower seeds. By the way, the campus never looked better than now, thanks to President Serena and Secretary Dowdell. Mr. W. T. Morris has presented the College with six hand- some rugs for its parlor, and he is to grade and reconstruct the base ball diamond, so that football, track and other events, may take place thereon. When finished it should be called Morris Field. Mrs. G. E. Phinney, of Syracuse, has presented a new set of window shades for the parlor.

It is yet a young institution, but not too young to have won a place in the heart of many people. It should be the recipient of legacies and gifts, yet few of these have been received during the past years.

Rose will also return for the classes in Latin and German, and Mr. Roy B. Graves the Mathematics. The new teachers will be Miss Florence H. Evans, of Milville, Delaware, who will teach English and Miss Grace H. Youngs, of Perm Yan, will have charge of the Pre- liminary classes. The prospects for students are very good and a considerable gain over last year's enrollment is expected. Keuka College will open Monday, September 15th. There will be several changes in the faculty, Prof. E. M. Barrus re- turning to us after several years with Geneva College, Beav- er Falls, Pa. He will teach College Science and Mathematics.
