Much dissatisfaction was caused among members of all the gentlemen's societies over the way in which the proceeds of the Iyenaga lecture were divided in the first place. It was surely the understanding of a majority of the committee and of the society in general that the net proceeds instead of the gross proceeds were to be equally divided between the lecturer and the societies.

Mr. J. W, Crook has been employed as U. L. A. Librarian, for the coming year.

The yearly meeting of the U. L. A. Board was held last Wednesday afternoon. The report of the Financial Manager of the REVIEW showed a successful year financially, there being $112 more in the treasury than at the beginning of the year, considering the fact that because of the cover of the REVIEW this year, its issue has been more expensive than usual. This is a splendid | showing. The report of Mr. Whitney, Treasurer of the U. L. A., was also an encouraging one.

Two weeks ago last Friday night, a burglar entered B. H. Burtt's room in the fourth story of Council Hall and got away with about $25. Lacking better weapons, Mr. Burtt fired two iron dumb bells at the thief but he escaped unharmed. The burglar returned the three following nights and was fired on, the two latter times by Mr. Burtt but without the shots taking effect. The burglar fired several times at Mr. Burtt, two shots entering the bed. Since Monday night, June 13th, all has been quiet and the thief has evidently come to the conclusion that he has enough.

At this season of the year the alumni of the various colleges are returning to the shades of Alma Mater to live over again the joys and sorrows of college days, knitting together the broken ties of friendship and getting inspiration for another year of work. The value of these reunions it is difficult to over-estimate, resulting in great good not only to the participants themselves, but by the rehearsal of their experience and successes giving new impulse and courage to the instructors who are doing for succeeding classes what in years before they have done for them.

Colleges which inspire love and veneration in their graduates are the prosperous colleges, and we are glad to see that our own college appreciates this and is constantly increasing its endeavors to foster sentiments of brotherhood among its alumni and love for the college which our growing facilities and increasing wealth render possible. Even now we are beginning to look forward to the time when we shall return from year to year to see again old friends, and to meet new. Nor are efforts of this nature confined to the limits of Oberlin alone. Annual alumni meetings are now being organized in different parts of the country. In Boston but a few months since the old Oberlin pupils met to hold a regular jollification. A meeting is appointed for Chicago, July 7, to which will be gathered delegations froni all the northwest. There is no reason why such meetings should not be very common, for there is no place in this country where a respectable assemblage of Oberlin students might not be collected in the radius

of a few miles.
