In course of his remarks he said that it had always been his desire to visit Rome, and when this chance presented itself he improved his opportunity. While at Rome one of the at tractions which interested him most was the statue of Gari baldi. While viewing this magnificent piece of sculpture and thinking of the deeds of this great Italian patriot whom this statue represented the doctor was so impressed that he took off his hat in honor to this once eminent general. Dr. Ather ton advised us if we ever went to Rome to,, be sure to see the statue of Garibaldi. Six of the Senior electricals realized the difficulty and dis appointment some of us would experience in endeavoring to visit Rome, and consequently began to devise some scheme which would relieve this disappointment. About eleven o'clock P. M., when "Jimmie" had turned out the lights and the under-classmen were enjoying their peaceful rest, these six Seniors started on their difficult task of reproducing the statue, of Garibaldi in life size and representing Dr. Atherton stand ing before it with his hat in his hand. Finally, after working until 4 A. M., they succeeded in making an excellent represen tation. The next morning and throughout the day a crowd could be seen standing in front of the main building viewing the snow statues. In fact, this practical joke attracted more attention and caused more comment than any other that has been played for years. One of the comments, made by a well-known person about the college, " Johnny " Carrigan, is: " Indaid it is the foinest piece of artism that I ever saw. The boys ought to put a fence around it and charge admission to see it." —The new College catalogue is out and shows an enroll ment of 602 students. Besides these there are 1,800 taking correspondence courses. Anyone wishing to secure a college education should send for a copy of the catalogue. —President Atherton returned to the College, January 20th, after two months' absence in Europe.
