8 HE academic gown, as used in America, is really a uniform. On its historic and picture esque side it serves to remind those who don it of the continuity and dignity of learning, and recalls the honored roll of English-speakingUniversity men. .On its democratic side, it snbdnes the dilfer- enees in dress arising from the dillerences in taste, lashion, manners and wealth, and clothes all with the outjvard gracelof equal fellowship which has ever been clanned as an inner fact in the republic of learning. The gown uniforms a body of scholars, overcom- ing the nondescript dress of any considerable number nf men or women. On the score of economy it saves many a young man or woman considerable expendi- ture at the end ofa course, when there is the least l- ft to spend, but when it is desirable to make the best appearance. In colleges where gowns are worn throughout the year, the plainest suits or dresses may be worn beneath them. GARDNER LTo'rRisl.l. LEONARD. COTRELL at LEONA RD, MAKERS OF CAPS AND GOWNS . .
