In view of the unusual financia
conditions which exist at present,
men are being laid off at many
places instead of being taken on, so
that the Alumni who have vacancies
occuring under them will confer an
especial favor on the College by
notifying the Secretary of the
Alumni Association of such vacan

haps may not be in a position to em

vacancies coming to their knowl
edge. In this way we may be able to
aid most of the graduating class to
obtain positions after Commence
