It is split into houses 011 the Oxford plan, and these ar numberd beginning at the west end, by the letters of the alfabet from A to H. 111 spite Of the i111pe11sonalsound of their names, however, the houses hav taken, each to itself, a caracter as definit as can be expected to linger about a mere material structure. The dormitory has assumed, indeed, a sort of multiple personality, with a separate compartment for each of its fases. In-dwellers in one such pigeon-hole who find themselvs out of harmony with its spirit always gravitate elsewhere; tho of course a few incongruus souls ever remain to cherish rebel feelings within the walls. The three houses at the west end hav been occupied chiefly by the faculty during the whole three years of the dorn1itory,s existence, and so naturally hav been grave and sedate. Now and then, however, at Mr. Fosters 011 Miss Rowland's a party of students has broken the wonted silence and quiet; at other times, too, the joy of life has been evident ennf,abnt these three hav had, even in their outward sem- blance, a sort of propriety and dignity, and from them never has come any of that uproarins din which occasionally sounds from another three at the opposit end. Here liv the 111en,f0rty of them all with lusty lungs a taste for music of a sort, a liking for all kinds of sport and an ability, latent in a few perhaps, to work ten hours 1a day. Divided, as they ar, into three groups by house lines, they hav had a tendency to 5110 a certain spirit of rivalry in play and work and hobbies. This emulation has exhibited itselfiat times in the contests in sportabaseball, basketball and hand- ball; at times, too, in the real conflict, when men of F hav assaulted the battlements of H, and all hands and the hose hav gatherd to repel boarders. But these tumults hav come seldom and departed quickly, leaving no i1 feeling in thei1 wake. The thing which has remaind with each of the houses, however is a special hobby, an avocation in life. In H this has been the spirit of cammadmze From the time of the forming of the uHard Egl Club the first year under the regime of Fritz Anderson, right down to the present the wine
