WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1906
The meeting of the Hospital Association on next Tuesday should be well attended. Some changes in the constitution will be proposed. Don't forget the meeting Tuesday.
The unprecedented audience at the Glee Club concert Wednesday evening demonstrated the superiority of the assessment plan for the musical organizations. No musical club ever drew such a crowd before, and the paid admissions aside from the voluntary tickets were fully as many as the clubs used to draw for the whole audience. Don't forget to do the same thing for the Mandolin Club. That is what the clubs need to be successful.
The liberality of the Y. M. C. A. in permitting the secretary to donate a share of his time to the University should not pass without recognition. It's the spirit that is going to make the Association a power in the institution.
The University is very fortunate in having a man like Hagerman to take charge of track athletics in the coming season. His experience as trainer is not extensive, but he has enthusiasm, he has college spirit in abundance, and he is in fullest sympathy with the men with whom he will work. The service he can be in getting out new men and in instilling the right scholastic spirit will work wonders with our team.
All men who have debating aspirations should give their attention to the questions that are already chosen. Probably a preliminary trial will be held for each of the debates, and will be held as rapidly as possible after the Christmas recess. The question for the Baker debate is, "Resolved: That the Fifteenth Amendment should be repealed." The Oklahoma question is not positively worded as yet, but it is practically, "Resolved: That the present policy of the United States in excluding the Chinese should be maintained." Men who expect to try for either of those
questions cannot do better than begin work at once.
Important Lecture Tuesday.
W. K. Prentice of Princeton will give an illustrated lecture next Tuesday evening on "Some Early Christian Communities." He will describe a number of early cities in the neighborhood of Antioch in Syria, their churches, houses, factories, shops and baths, and the life, religion and superstitions of the people. Prof. Prentice took part in two archaeological expeditions to Syria, in 1900 and 1905. The lecture will be illustrated by the stereopticon, and will be open to all free of charge. It ought to be interesting to everybody. Prof. Prentice is a good speaker, and will without doubt give a profitable and entertaining lecture.

Most any day now, when you have a little time to spare, we would like to put our time against yours and show you the correct ideas in Winter wearables.
Here's a proposal! A proposition.
Look as long as you like. We'll agree not to say a word about your buying. Our proposition is to show you.
You may look at all the New Suits and Overcoats—try on as many as you wish—ask the price—ask any other questions that may suggest themselves. Then look at the new shapes in Hats, the new Neckwear, Shirts, Gloves and all the fresh things in Toggery. Look as low as you 13

TO hear some people tell it, you might think we were not in the Book business. (We would not be very long, if we were not CONTINUALLY BUYING, enabling us to keep up our stock of Books of all kinds.)

"Never Say Die"
seems to be a part of Santa Claus's good-natured character, but he would surely advise his friends to dye when it came to the renovation of seemingly old clothing. For it is a fact that, when properly dyed, even an old garment looks like new again. Let us show you how to save fifty per cent of your clothing expenses.
We like to make over old things. Club Rates $1.50 per month
