NO.15.
It is unnecessary for us to remind our readers that to-morrow is the beginning of the merry mid winter holidays. For a long time you have looked forward, counting the weeks, and then the days until the twenty-second of December, when all could go home. By day you have planned and by night you have dreamed and now comes the realization of it all. The home folks, the home comforts and joys, the old friends, the parties, the winter sports will fill the next two weeks with enjoyment. Make the most of it. Don't lay out a fixed course of work or reading. Enter fully into the recreations of the gala season, without harmful excess; and return, refreshed and ready to take up your work with new vigor. The STUDENTS JOURNAL wishes you all a happy vacation.

We think, however, that this game was hardly a fair example of all eastern games, some of which were according to reports-as free from unnecessary roughness as could be expected. But, nevertheless even after the greatest care has been taken
