G. E. HAMILiTUIM, I uiu.viA..n,jj x ux

PRESIDENT KELLY OF COLLEGE LIFE In Old ' England Graphically Described in the Missive Received Yesterday THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIP Some Interesting Points Told of Unknown to the Average Person Very Interesting. President Kelly, of Earlham College, has received a very interesting letter from 0. E. Hamilton, of this city, who is now a student at Oxford College, England. Hamilton was formerly a student at Earlham. There is one strong point in the following letter that is brought: out very strong and that is that the work that Mr. Hamilton did while at Earlham places him on the same standing as it would in a college in that country. The letter is written on monogramed paper with-a H-very blaek- bord-er. .. This bcrderr signifies that the college is still in mourning for Queen Victoria, but Mr. Hamilton explains it in a different way. The letter is the following: v Pembroke College, Oxford, Eng., Nov. 1, '04. My Dear President Kelly The Oxford and Oxford life that I heard so much about last summer has proven a surprise in reality in a great many ways. I have never passed two weeks of such fascinatingly interesting experiences as my first two weeks here. To say that we were received with polite hospitality is not sufficient. At Pembroke we have been petted, lionized and treated much better than we deserve, I am very sure. There are four of us and we have been present at functions where there was no one else but upper classmen, still we are regarded as freshmen. That brings me to a difficulty which I will try to explain to you. If I can get these authorities hero to believe that I have completed two years at Earlham College, that I have carried a full course and passed all the examinations with honor, I will be given the privileges of a Junior Foreign Student, which will, enable me to get my P. A. with honors much more easily and get a good start on an M. A. In fact, all that I will lack will be paying fees for a couple of years. Now, I have the statement I got, last summer but they don't understand what a "credit'' is, or a " recitation," Again they can't conceive of so many ? examinations. You knew, here a fellow never takes but .two examinations in his whole course : ,. Moderations and Finals. As soon as I get "Mods" off my hands I will begin on Littera ITumanives, majoring in Philosophy. However, this course requires an almost perfect knowledge of Greek and Latin, besides German and French. As far as I can see a man is supposed to read every book that was ever written on philosopy in the original language. I have applied for an honor school and hope to make a first. I might add that I am a little nervous about it because this is the hardest school here and few men ever get above a third class. Gladstone took a first. Well, I hope the faculty will give me a favorable consideration in this matter and permit me to have the honor , (Continued on' fourth . page.)

DRAFT OF DILL COMPLETED

BY COUNCILMAN O'NEAL TO BE PRESENTED AT SOUTH BEND TO MUNICIPAL LEAGUE Board of City Commissioners to Be Done Aiway With Other Feav W - tores. The draft of tho new civic improvement bill has been completed by Councilman O'Neal and he will present, it the session of the Indiana Municipal League tobe held at SouL Bend. I that body approves' the bill it Will be presented to the next legislature A large number of changes' are made in Mr. O'Neal's bill from"; the law that is in effect at the present time. It favors the old Barret flaw in one way in that it provide that assessments for improvements be made according to the number of front feet of abutting property?: The new bill does aAvay with the board of city commissioners. One of the neAv bills. proAisions is thatthe common council of a city may by Ordinance provide for the construction or the reconstruction of alleys streets or other" public ways, tmd side walks upon the petition bf resident oAvners of a majority rot the front or abutting feet of the real estate abutting on such improvement, or Avithout a petition by a Aibte of two thirds of thj council. HteVcitj shall pay the cost of interscrtions, : When the construetion of a sewer it is provided that the cost shall be assessed according to benefits, this is about the same provision as the present law with the exception that the assessment shall be made by the board of public improvements and the city engineer in stead of city commissioners. Under the neAv law city engineers will be required to make full reports to council after improvements have been made, showing the total cost of the improvement, the name of each property owner on each street, or alley improved, the number of front feet owned by respective property owners and the amount of cast for the improAoment due upon each lot affected. The bill provides that no property .shall be assessed for more than half its valuation. This will give ample protection against injustice to all property owners. Property owners may be assessed for the sweeping of streets according to the number of feet of abutting property. The new laAV provides that the : net revenue derived from any city or municipal electric light plants or water Avorks shall be applied exclusively to the reimprovement. or the reconstruction of the streets or other public Avnys'of the city. This last provision ;.s in the last section of the laAV and is ' supxsed to be one of the most important ones in th entire law. "ER'S ENVOYS EN ROUTE TO WASHINGTON. Washington, Noa 15.
