The College. AFTER an existence of nearly thirty years, instead of one wooden college building and perhaps a dozen students, we see to-day the buildings and equipment of a young institution in reasonably prosperous condition, with a faculty numbering upward of thirty-five and above three hundred and twenty- five in the student body. To an observer it would be difficult to realize the early beginnings of the institution, seemingly handicapped in almost every direction. Of the noble fight of the whole-souled men who had the interests of the young college at heart we need not write. The college to-day stands as a monument to their efforts and we feel sure that had it not been for their unselfish and untiring labors the institution might not exist. As it is, the college advances along the lines laid down in its plan, and with increased income and facilities is daily growing into greater usefulness, broadening its scope and purposes with its advancing age. Members of the alumni may be interested in a few of the changes that have taken place in and about the college in the past year or two. A very important change over former periods, which has considerable indirect influence on the affairs of the college, is the establishment of the Ban- gor, Orono Old Town Electric Railroad. Many, who in past years, have toiled up along the way from Orono to the campus would appreciate the “Boo” line, which puts us in better connection with the outside world than ever before. The road was built and cars began running in 1895, and since then this means of travel has been greatly appreciated by the college men. But we will speak more concerning the college itself, and of a few of the many happenings of the year just gone. In the Maine Legislature, early in 1897, a bill, appropriating to the insti- tution a sum of twenty thousand dollars annually for a period of ten years, was 17
