More enthusiasm than usual was shown at the Military Ball. Lippitt Hall was tastefully and ap propriately decorated, and in every way the affair was a success. Ahout the middle of the Winter term the Juniors ananged a musi eale for the benefit of the Gkist of 'oi. The evening of February 2ist was also an enjoyable time for many of the students and their

Enthusiasm began to appear when we boarded the boat for New York, but it soon died out and we sought our staterooms to be lulled to sleep by the harmonious sounds of boxes and barrels dropped into the hold. The children of the party were up bright and early to see the sights, but the older, more sedate members stayed in their little white beds saving their energies.

fall of 1898, when a preparatory department was considered neces sary for adequate preparation ot students for the college course. The
introduction of this preparatory course naturally followed a rais ing ol the standard of the college proper; and at that time five dis tinct
courses were laid out, all leading to the degree of Bachelor Seience, Agricultural (i), mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical and biological. Since the adoption of these five courses in 1898 some slight internal changes have taken place, but none that would materially affect them as a whole. It is thought that any one of the above courses offers ample oppor tunity for a student to prepare himself thoroughly for whatever
