Students Were Away On
Vacation
I,I\im G. ticibels of Cohunbra, alum.
ni o this institution, and doner, of the
mnagminicent \lelton Observatory, during
the suinmer donated to the Utversity
a very vull-built and well-epuipped pool
table
I is reported that during the summer
Mr. Seitbes saw this table and wrote to
1)r. Douglas asking him it he cotld use
it. As might be expected the otter was
gladly accepted, and it was soon imstall
ed in t' hnn Hall.
Students since that time have 'ecn
busily engaged in the pleasant sport ut
billiards and a crow<l is usually tound
i on the sideline waiting to find a chance
for the next game.
T ins table is equipped with the mod
ern style collective pockets and the whole
outlt is made of the very best material.
The indurance of the material is utn
estimated but it is thoroughly believed
that it is recreation equipment that will
ottt-last most any other that could have
been presented.
Students are asked to take the best
care of the table, so as to show as much
appreciation to Mr. Seibels as possible.
Ihey are also asked not to use it too
long at each peribd, so that as many
students will have tiie chance of playing
as possible.
