It is evident, also, that the efforts put forth of late by the instructors in English, coupled with a growing sense of the importance of the study, have succeeded in making the welfare of the English department one of the very greatest interest to every student.

At the risk of seeming to offer gratuitous advice, we would respectfully suggest that a suitable vacation be also given to the Dean and the Registrar next year. Both these men have been severely overworked of late years, and if the nine comes out victorious in many games this spring, the increase in the amount of business to be done in U. 5 will be such as to render a term of rest, not an undesirable object for the above mentioned officers of the college...
