Dr Josiah Morse is the member of the commission from t is uni versity, and has charge of the use of our share of .the fund. He will le glad to give particu lars to any student who desires to take up this work.

The problem is one that every man must face, and it is well tbat there is an incentive for us to prepare ourselves to face it. "My Ford, 'tis of Thee." WANTD-To know' what member of the English faculty mailed the following to Prof. Carson: My Ford 'tis of thee, short cut to poverty, of thee I chant. I blew a pile of "dough" on you two years ago, and now you quite refuse to go, or won't, or can't. Through town and coun tryside you were my pride and joy-a happy day. I loved thy gaudy hue, thy nice white tires so new, but now you're down and out for true, in every way. To thee, old rattle box, came many bumps and knocks; for thee I grieve. Badly thy. top is torn, frayed are thy seats and worn, the whooping cough affects thy horn, I do believe. Thy per fume swells the breeze, while good folks choke and wheeze as we pass by. I paid for thee a price 'twould buy. a mansion twice-now everybody's yelling "ice"- I wonder why. The motor has the grip, the spark plug has the pip, and woe is thine. I too have suffered chills, ague and kindred ills, endeavor ing to pay my bills since thou wei't mine. Gone is my bank roll now. No more 'twould choke the cow, as before. Yet if I had the "mon," so help me John-Amnen-I-P buy myself a car again, and spee(l some more. Alwaya use plesant word. - CRERATED-JAN. 28 Alumni Meet-Piovm ient Men .- -Wll ea The fdiersitY autho-ities have aJrangQd to ve Foundcr'i Dy on.
