He was also asso- ciated with Prof. jones for three years in the Harvard Summer School.

His work during the year has been successful and every one was glad to learn that he is to be among us next year. wILLIAM GEORGE CASKEY, our new Professor of Oratory, was born in 1865 at Chicago Heights, Illinois.

He held this position until he came to Oberlin last fall. The increased interest in oratory in Oberlin this year is proof of his ability and enthusiasm as a teacher.
