COLLEGEVILLE NEWS.

Francis Dickman has returned from Sedalia, Mo., and resumed his studies- He was called home to attend the funeral of his sister. Last Monday was All Saints’ Day, and it being a holy day there were neither classes nor studies. Several of the Fathers visited diflerent cities of the state and delivered the sermons for the occasion. Father Lear conducted the services at the college. 9 The fpllowing visitors enjoyed the college hospitality during the last week: Judge and Mrs. E. P. Hammond and daughter of Lafayette, S.

No results were obtained in all the worry of the secnd perid. Once the college goal line was In great danger, but the collegians braced, held for downs, and Frollch kicked the oval into safe territory.
