TheGreek Symposium met last Thursday in the physical lecture room. The subject was Greek Architecture in Later and Modern times.

Prof. Hopkins lectured in chapel last Friday morning on Old Time Music. He told how the tune "America" is supposed to have originated. It was first sung in this country in 1740, but with other words than are used now. He was assisted by a double quartette that sang several old songs illustrating different kinds of church hymns. The lecture was very interesting and instructive and we heard it remarked that if such things were given oftener in chapel there would be a larger attendance.
The Seminary of Political Science meeting last Friday presented a very instructive and interesting program. No professor was present, but on motion by Mr. Bennett to elect a chairman pro tem., Mr. Holmes was elected presiding officer. The discussion of the Hawaiian question by Miss Humphrey, Miss Wynne, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Kinsey, brought out many interesting points. The history and geography, economic and commercial advantages, the provisions of the treaty between Hawaii and the United States, and the general political significance of annexation, were the principal points of discussion. The question is certainly one of live interest and the subject was treated in a scholarly and effective manner.
