 OLIVER JONES MARSTON. A. M. HISTORY, ECONOMICS. “lie was not for an age, hut fur all time” You will remember that at the close of the last hour we were speaking’’ of a man whose greatest horror is offering a snap course.

CARL SPENCER MILLIKEN. S. B. BIOI.OCY. How Utile do they see what is, who Ira me Their hasty judgment upon that which seems. A beautiful specimen of enthusiasm is found in Professor Milliken's animated research into bio- logical subjects. Most scientific of all biologists, everything is systematic, even unto tlie “anterior end of his body, where his golden filaments are carefully bisected by a median line.” Presiding with due gravity oxer his laboratories, which resemble a “game pre- serve, lie frequently serves frogs' legs and sweet- breads, garnished with powdered jokes which arc simply irresistible. THEODORE FREDERICK MEIER. A. B. M US1C. When said would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live until were married. When Professor Meier “was in Germany he studied to perfect himself in both piano and violin music. But even in the fatherland Itis mind and heart were in the Fields «if America.

GEORGE PORTER PAINE. A. M. MATHEMATICS. ‘ Vis neither here nor there. “I beg your pardon, but I think it will be per- fectly obvious when you think about it.” Marked as arc his ‘‘mathematical merits,” lie has interwoven them with his musical ability until the two are brought to harmonize and complement each other.

HISTORY, FRENCH. “ The many still must labor for the one. Miss Farr has brought to Kipon a tine mind, unusual powers of thought, and a “rapid transit system of delivering historical lectures.
