...story entertaining; as does "The Sequel," which in part burlesques "Rupert of Hentzau." A pleasant mixture of English setting and American humor is "My Diary," by J. Hinckley '06. "The Joy of Living," by G. W. D. Gribble Sp., is an interesting and careful study of too often seen characters, who curiously reveal themselves and learn their moral lesson while listening to Sudermann's play.

The closing of the Veterinary School account by a final payment of $11,161.60 on its debt and expenses, was a further burden on the University. These items, it will be seen, more than account for the year's deficit. Unfortunately the deficit has been charged to the "Insurance and Guaranty Fund," thus encroaching on the principal of the University's resources...
