His decision will -be heard with much pleasure by all friends of the Missouri Agricultural Col lege and the I niversitv of Missouri.

Her voice is sweet and flexible, under fine control and of ex ceptionally wide range. She sang with rare expression and an artistic taste that proclaims the tone artist.;—Cleve land Leader. The tenor, Mr. Strong, with his fas cinating tone quality, superb control and shading was the most popular of the out-of-town soloists. His voice is uniform, smooth, cultured, and blended in part singing beautifully.

To say that the student body was surprised when Notre Dame, champions of Indiana, were beaten last Saturday would be onlv a mild way of expressing the enthusiasm and excitement exhibited during the meet. T he final score stood 65 5-6 to 60 1-6 points in favor of the olive green, and at no time during the meet was there a lead of over 10 points. Notre Dame kept ahead in points up two events, to the last when M. A. C. took fifteen out of eighteen by winning first, second and third in the discus throw, and six points in the pole vault. Col lege records were broken in six events. In the _|._).o-yard dash Oviatt set a new record of 51 3-5 seconds against Moon's record of 52 sec onds.

The Engineering Course fits its graduates for work in either me chanical, civil or electrical engineer ing or the drafting room. T he students are required to do work in the wood shop with hand tools anil lathes ; in the machine shop in metal working, in which first class lathes and modern machinery are in stalled, and in the forge shop and foundry.
