Wliile the rniversity has made rapid proyress alono; educational Hues, many new improvements have been made in tlie buildings. The first floor of Maria- Wright Hall, has been finished, furnishing commodius quarters for our Business Department. The Library, which, until recently, occupied a room on the north side of the building, now occupies the old chapel, and chapel ser -ices are now conducted in the large and spacious hall which has been completed and furnished by the kindness of friends. A Ladies ' Dormi- torj- and Dining Hall have been added to the number of buildings, and on the lots surrounding the campus many new buildings and residences have been erected for the accommodation of the teachers and students. To Tite a history of the Universit)- would be to record the sorrows and trials, difficulties and cares, in fact, the biography of our beloved President, Dr. Reade. Under his management and care the University has steadily ad- vanced in popularity until it has become recognized as an intellectual centre. His mild, but firm, di.scipline, his enthusiasm in student affairs, his belief in honor, coupled OTth his strong administration of the University ' s affairs have won the love, esteem and confidence of every loyal student. The fu- ture of the school is bright, and it is the hope of all that the President may live to see the child of his care attain the po-sition he so much desires, not only as a rendevouz of cultivated intellects, but a temple upon whose altars men sacrifice themselves for the cause of others. In conclusion, to our many friends among the students we would .say : If, as we pass around the compliments of the season, you should be for- tunate enough to draw a lucky number, do not raise your voices in condem- nation of the editors, and call down on their heads the -rath of the powers that be, but rather feel thankful that you are a personage of sufficient im- portance to be thought worthy of notice, remembering that you are not without imperfections, and seeing yourselves as others see you, profit by it, repent and pay penance for the past misdeeds by purchasing extra copies of the Gem.
