A GOOD INK. Tltis College has for s'orne time past used a very fine Black ·Ink ·l \ian\ILICII:lrecl at "Shipman's Chcmicn I Lnl>oratory" 28 Liberty St. Utica N.Y.

It is the clteHpest _qoodin k we have been able to obtai11 aud we most cordially recommencl it for general use, particularly in schools.

This is probably one oftbe largestinstitntions of the k\nd in the \VOrld, and any nne -wanting a fir&t class ink, or writing fluid would do well to wr-i te for descriptive lists prices &c.

IF THE STUDENTS who s:re under military training do not show real ability when the time :OOmes,, it will not have boon for lack of instruction from their able drill master, or lack of encouragement from their many admirers. So far though, be it 8$id to the eredit of the Cadets, they have shown thetn lves 'Very appreciative of what is being done for them both hy their ifllltrne.tor and thei r fri endR.

" IMPORTANCE OF COLLEGE ASSOCIATJONS.

F r om time imm emorial have men nnct nations prac~ .. ticnbly r ecognize1l the n ecessity of :tfSOciatlOn by Jeagueing th ~:; rn s el ves toge ther according ~G opportunity r eq nircc1 for mutnal prot ection ngni11St ex fr:).lJ eous influ ences or for the m or e effectua l fnr t. \l crnn cc of some gnwct pn r pose.

Ev e u in coll ege du we fee l the necessity uf mo r e c lose nn ion th:m t hat of mere chss compa ni onship nnd c ompetiti ous; for as~oei::ttion is not on ly the p1"0p?·iitm of man bu t it is also the p-ropriwm of b ci.YS as we ll. I there fore readily and confidently a&s mn e th e ensy duty of pointing out t o you some of tile m nnifold arg um P.n!s which 1m!itate in fhvor or my ~ubj ect which is "The Importance of Coll•~ge A ssociation s."

In order to facilit;tte the end in view, wbich is to show tl:e benefits derived from college associations in gen era l, we will as we proceed in the d e \' elopement of our subj ect, consid er separately the different kinds of associations a nd their respectiye merits. These may be termed li tera ry, religious and atbletic assochtions .

An association is a nnmber of perl:ions forming a union fo r tile purpose of mutual assistan ce and improvement. 'Ve all understand th at when young men leave home a nd dear friendf? and enter college, it is to be train ed , educated and prepared for the world; they bring with t hem higll hopes and fresh young energies, and it is a natmal consequence th,lt in such societies as they form we wi ll find smart., earnest a11d efficient workers. Some are clever, others talented , and some posseo;s even genius. Again associations which are more or less select, shou ld be composed of sensible, prudent findllighly moral youf!g men. 8o much so as regards the qualities of these a~soCiations.

Now, a distinction should be drawn and maintained between societies that are lawful and unlawful in colleges; for a distitJction obtains here as well as among the various societies that exist throughout the world . In some universities, in fact in many, there exist what are called secret societies that have a password, oath of secrecy and which conduct their affairs in the manrier of any well organized secret society sucb as Masonry.

It is hard to determine in whnt way a secret society in a college is benefici'll; according to my way of thinki ng, it is wliong that they should be tolerated. And why s~~~ecause its members are left free t~ do how and ''·
