deems best, the unique ideas presented by him. The class officers are

Miss Bass, who was in Chaudoin last

Mexico.

The Music Festival.
The preparations for the Great

beginning to be very prominent. The
choruses are rehearsing three and
four times a week. The program will
comprise seven events, lasting from
Wednesday evening, February 10, to
Friday night, the 12th. On Thursday and Friday there will be concerts at eleven o'clock in the morning, as we'll as four o'clock in the
afternoon, in addition to the evening
concerts.
The Lyceum Committee are having
inquiries from all over the State, and
many parties are being formed in different places to attend.
All students will be granted a special rate for reserved seats, and ■ no
one should fail to take advantage of
these rates to hear the concerts.

THIRD EVENT OF
LYCEUM COURSE
Kenneth Bruce's Stereopticon on "The
Historic Hudson."
Friday night, the 29th, is scheduled
the third event of the Lyceum Course.
This will be an illustrated stereopticon lecture by Kenneth Bruce, enlivened with Indian legends and
quaint facts of the early days of the
grand Old Hudson, and of the part
it has played in our country's history.
This region, which has been immortalized by Washington Irving in
''Rip Van Winkle," "Legend of
Sleepy Hollow," and other tales, will
be picturized in all its beauty and
magnificence, and those who have
never trod the shores of old Nip and
his fellows, or of Ichabod Crane and
the Headless Horseman, cannot fail
to attend.
Mr. Bruce comes well recommended; is a Yale man, and descends from
a long line of public speakers. Admission 50 cents to those not holding
season tickets.
To A Friend.
What is a friend? A something more
than kin:
Dearer than whom the accident of
birth
Joins to us in enforced love; whose
worth,
Sterling as gold, unto his friend
flows in
As flows a mountain burn into a
turbid stream
And washes it pure; the one in all
the earth
Whose heart-strings vibrate to our
own, in mirth
Or bitter woe, the sad heart's
gladd'ning beam.
