Just about the time our coldest weather began, the Normal School of Rosario, Argentine Republic, was having its commencement. Miss Morrow seems to be herself there as here, incapable of anything but good work. We clip these paragraphs from the Rosario Mensagero: We may say in view of the proofs presented yesterday in the presence of the general examiners, that the Normal school is in the front rank of the best establishments in the country. The government should not neglect to provide it with suitable buildings. The audience warmly congratulate graduates, professors, and especially the directress, Miss Morrow. The Courier trusts that the Rosario legislature may treat the Normal school as generously as the Kansas legislature did the University.
The Orophilian literary society met on last Friday with a larger attendance than has graced the hall this season. This was occasioned on account of the excellent musical program announced two or three weeks previous, or the general good time, we are not certain which. To say that the program was well carried out would not be doing justice to the parties who took part in it. The program rendered was about as follows: Flute trio, Messrs. Johnson, Higgins and Albach; solo, Miss Merrill, which was the most pleasing part of the exercises. All we need to say in regard to it is that she sang in her usual captivating style, and the reputation of Miss Merrill is so well known as to need no words of praise from us. Piano so lo, Miss Bell; flute solo, Mr. Abach; duett, Miss Bell and Mr. Higgins; piano solo, Miss House. It is useless to say that Miss House played a splendid and difficult piece of music, which was highly appreciated, as she has the reputation of being one of the best pianists in the city. Two recitations, Misses Reasoner and House; male quartette, by Johnson, Blair, Albach and Higgins; flute duet, Johnson and Albach; then came America, by all, and a general good time, which was the most enjoyable part of the program to the Oreads.
The Brunonian is the oldest college paper in the United States. It claims to have been started in 1825.
