Henry Clay. Since being with us, he has made rapid strides in his college work, completing his course in two years. While with us, he has justly won the name of Socrates, for one of his greatest ambitions is to make a research in the realms of Greek Literature. In the Latin language he is a wonder, and some day, no doubt, will equal Caesar in versatility. He is quiet and rarely speaks, and when he does, it is often in Greek or Latin, and if in English, it is C( mcerning the little damsels out in ' ' old Kentucky. ' ' In fact, in scholarship, he stands in the foremost ranks, and some day, will carve fur himself a name .r lion-.r out of the problems of life. Percy Vann Critcher, B. A.
