sp.ration to the literary students. One half of a true educa­ tion consists in literary training. These societies are under the control of the students. Thus having the management in their own hands, they will tend to develop originality and independence of thought and action. During the past year the societies have beautified their halls at the expense of several hundred dollars. A TH LE T ICS . Athletic Exercises are encouraged by the Faculty and the Board of Trustees. They are under the personal super­ vision of the President of the College. On the College Campus there is a first-class tennis-court. An Athletic Club, formed by the students, helps to stimulate field sports. The College authorities will promptly check any tendency to brutality or excess in Athletic contests. This can be done the more easily since the students recognize that the faculty sympa­ thizes and is ready to co-operate with them in promoting le- gitmate and healthful sport. Students deficient in their studies will not be permitted to participate in Inter-Collegi­ ate games. The Gymnasium, which was furnished with complete appa­ ratus and opened in September, 1896, is free to all students of the College. DEGREES AND D IPLOMAS .
