Upon assembling at chapel at the opening of the term, we found ourselves much diminished in numbers, but, as time passed on, all but six returned to their Alma Mater; and now, although some of the brightest and most popular faces are missing, we hope to press on to the graduation platform with unbroken num- bers.
