COLLEGEVILLE.

Owing to the unfinished condition of the gymnasium there will be no program rendered on Columbia Day this year. The junior literary society has been reorganized as a reading circle under the caption of Newman Reading Circle. Among the many visitors last Sunday w T as Mr. Joseph Hanna, of Laporte. He attended St. Joseph’s 1892-94, and this was his first visit since that time. He freely expressed his astonishment at the wonderful growth of the institution in twenty years, from fifty students to over three hundred. The work on the gymnasium is progressing rather slowly. Mr. Medland is now putting in the concrete foundation and expects to have that part of the work completed early next week, when the raisers will again continue. The college All-Star ±eam was foiled by the weather man in giving the Athletics their return game last Sunday. The game has again been arranged for next Sunday. On Wednesday afternoon the Rensselaer Naps lost to the college juniors by the score of 3 to 7. The game was slow and uninteresting. Rev. Hugo Lear, C. P. P. S., president of the college, attended the dedication of the large new dormitory building at St. Mary’s of the Woods Academy, Terre Haute, Ind. The dedicatory services were conducted by the Rt. Rev. Joseph Bonzano, Washington, D. C, the papal delegate to the United States.
