THE opening of the term is always
more or less attended by.disturly:
ances of different kinds, which tend to
distract the attention of the student
from his studies. Let us endeavor to
make this beginning one of compara

work in the start, for as a man does

WHAT has happened the new gym
nastic apparatus which was to
be placed in our gymnasium ? The ap
paratus we had is almost all worn out.,
and a stranger entering the room would
be tempted to ask what that room was
used for. "These things ought not so
to be." With a very small expense the
old apparatus could be repaired or re
placed, and the gymnasium would be a
place appreciated by the boys as a place
of pleasure and profit. •
COASTING has taken precedence of
all other sports at P. S. C. A
hill opposite the college furnishes
enough sliding space and inclination for
a good run, and every clay we can see
a black line of sleds making their way
at great speed towards the terminus of the
slide. There seems to have been, for
some years back, an inertness among
the students during the winter terms, as
little interest was taken either in coast
ing or skating, and we feel it our duty
to say that the present interest in coast
ing is due mainly to the Sophomore
Class, .who "started the ball a-rolling"
by buying a neat double-runner sled.
How would it do for all the other classes
to follow suit?
