COLLEGEVILLE.

The college military band, under the direction of Father Rapp, is again cn a sure footing. There is an abund- * j*' ance of good talent, and a number of new instruments have been introduced. On Tuesday the students enjoyed the first free day. It was granted because of the reaching of the two hundred mark in St. Aquino Hall. Rambles through the country and base ball made the day enjoyable that would otherwise have hung weary on the campus. Prof. Leo Havooka arrived during the last week and has taken charge of, the music department. The orchestra will be reorganized by him, and his energy will certainly be able to not only maintain the high reputation of the youthful musicians, but to increase their usefulness as delightful entertainers.

A study of, the student’s roll-call would indeed be interesting, if for no other reason than to know the large number of states represented at the college. From the busy streets of New York City to the prairie farms of Nebraska; from the Valley of the Red River of the North, in Minnesota, to the blue gress decked plantations >of Kentucky, there are favorite sons of all the intervening commonwealths at St. Joseph’s. The first C. L. S. meeting of the season was called to order last Sunday morning. No business of importance was transacted. It was merely the preliminary reorganization for the year’s work. The election of officers was announced for the next rqeeting. The large number of applications for admission to membership warrants a busy, progressive and successful term for the senior literary society. An unusually large number of visitors enjoyed the college hospitality during the last week. Mrs. J. B. Ittenbach, T.> F. Darmody, Mrs. John Martin, Indianapolis; Rev. Basil -Didier, C. P. P. S.. F. A. Sauter, Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Murphy and John Murphy, Crawfordsville; Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Freeland, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. O’Conner, Freeland, Ind.; J. A. Pinto, Tampa, Fla.; Peter Schmitt, Milwaukee, Wis.; Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Stanton, Elkhart, Ind. At the second meeting of the Athletic Association the following board of directors was elected: L. Dufrane. C. Leary, L. Minster, C. Grathwohl, ,C. Reed, P. Retinger. The management of the foot ball teams was entrusted to C. Grathwohl. No foot ball teams have as yet been organized, and from all appearances there will be very little doing in the revised pigskin tactics. Base ball on these warm days still holds the boards. On Sunday the Religious again defeated the Rep remnants and the aspiring recruits.
