At OHLMAN’S.
The 8th annual session of the college
began last Wednesday morning with
the usual simple opening exercises.
There was a very large attendance of
students notwithstanding the fact that
a great many of the old students had
delayed coming until the latter part
of the week. There were new arrivals
every day and on Monday (yesterday)
morning there were 287 students in
the chapel at the morning exercises.
Many more are yet to come, and by
the 1st of October the school will be
full to its capacity.
*
* *
The last three days of the week were
spent in examining new students of
whom there were about 150 present.
At 'J o'clock Saturday afternoon they
were assembled in the college chapel
and the class assignments were an
nounced. As usual there were a great
many disappointments. Comparative
ly few were able to enter the class for
which they tried. Most of the girls
accepted the situation cheerfully or at
least philosophically, hut still there
was considerable weeping and wailing
over tiie results.
*
* *
1 lie college starteu off beautifully
with its regular schedule work on Mon
day morning and by the middle of the
week the organization of classes and
the daily program of exercises will be
perfected. Taking all tilings into con
sideration the prospect is that this will
he the very best session the institution
has ever had.

The College Sunday School was int
augurated last Sunday morning mos-
auspiciously. Some two hundred stu
dents were in attendance, and nearly
the entire faculty was present. After
a beautiful song and prayer service
Prof. Woolter, Supt. of the School, in
a strong, impressive address set forth
the aim and purpose of the school and
explained the plan of work. The
classes were then organized and lessons
were assigned for next Sunday. This
College Sunday School is an entirely
new enterprise. Heretofore the stu
dents have attended the various town
Sunday Schools, but tor several reasons
the faculty decided that it would be
best to haye this important branch of
the .-tudents’ education under the im
mediate auspices and direction of the
college. Attendance on the Sunday
School is entirely optional with the
students, and the very large number
who joined the first Sunday was sur
prising and extremely gratifying to
the faculty.

The in-coming students on Tuesday
night’s Central train received a royal
weloome from the Appollo Silver Band,
and afterwards botli dormitories were
treated to a superb serenade by the
same organization. The girls enjoyed
the music greatly and appreciated
highly the graceful and kind hearted
compliment. It was an inspiring
greeting for them, and they will always
hold Prof. Baldwin and his gallant
band in grateful remembrance.
