COLLEGEVILLE ITEMS.

On Tuesday the'-students enjoved the first free day. It was granted because of the reaching of the two hundred mark in St. Aquino Hall. Rambles throug! the country and base ball made the day enjoyable that would have otherwise hung weary on the campus. A study of the student’s rollcall would indeed be interesting, if for no other reason but 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 Yalley of the Red River of the north in Minnesota to the Blue-grass decked planta tions of Kentucky, there are favorite sons of all the intervening Commonwealths at St. Joseph’s. The College Military Band, under the direction of Father Rapp, is again on a sure footing. There is an abundance of good talent, and a number of new in struments have been added, Prof. Leo Havooka arrived during the last week, and has taken charge of the musical department. The orchestra will be reorganized by him, and his energy will certainly be able not only ko mamtain the highest reputation of the youthful musicians, but increase their usefulness as deljghtful entertainers. Tbe first C. L. S', meeting of

the season was called to order last Sunday morning. Xo business of importance was transacted. h was merely the preliminary reorganization for the next year's work. The election of officers was ’announced for the next meeting. The large number of applications for admission to membership warrants a busy, '.progressive and successful term j for the senior literary society. | At the second meeting of the | Athletic Assotihtion the following l>pard 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. Xo foot ball teams have as yet been Organized, and from all appearances there will be little doing in the revised pig-skin tactics. Base ball on tjhese warm days still holds the boards. On Sunday the Religious again d&feateH the Rep. remnants and the inspiring recruits. An Unusually' large number of visitors enjoyed the college hospitality during the last week: Mrs. J. B. Ittenbach, Tv F. Darifiody, Mrs. John Martin, apolis, Ind„ Rev. Basil Didier, C. PP. S., F. A. Sau ter, ChicagSb, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Freeland, M r - and Mrs. W.
