THE WASHBURN WEEKLY REVIEW. 4 Echoes from the Vergil Class By Will Townsley. Good-bye! Good-bye I Dear book, old friend! Your dreary toil seems at an end; And I shall see your face no more, Nor ponder o'er your ancient lore. Those dreary hours I've spent on thee Are well, could be counted, one, two, three Of the large horse all made of wood And warriors bold who within it stood. Unhappy Dido's schemes between these covers Would warrant the unnerving of any lovers: Although her brain was wrong, her heart was true And iEneas, to his sorrow, found that out too.

Of pious iEiieas great tales are told A man of brains and a warrior bold, A god on earth, and be it said That he is now with the honored dead. And then again must I tell You say Eneas went to But after this, you with mirth. Say he again came back to earth. And now go into other hands: may you be treated with just demands. To you, dear my heart does will With all thy faults, I love you still.

Third Prep. Party The graduating class of the Academy were most pleasantly entertained last Friday evening by Mrs. H. P. Dillon and son at their home on Harrison street.

In spite of the weather a goodly number turned out and felt well repaid for their effort. A mandolin club played in the hall during the evening, and the guests were entertained by a "tasting" contest and other amusements. Elegant refreshments were served, and the Preps, became so interested that they missed the last car and were obliged to walk home in the mud. The Westminster and Central Endeavor societies held a union sunrise prayer meeting at the Central church last Sunday. Next.

Sunday morning the meeting will be held at the Westminster church with Ella Veazie as leader. the proportion of boys and girls, pays us a nice compliment tn the following editorial: Washburn College holds a proud place in the ranks of the volunteers of Kansas in the late enlistment. We understand that the University at Lawrence enlisted some eight or nine students who succeded in passing the examination, the Normal school, the Agricultural College and Baker doing about as well. Each of these institutions, excepting Baker, has four or five times the enrollment of our Washburn. The numberof volunteers mustered in from Washburn, however, was nineteen.

The total enrollment of the college is about 200, of which a large portion are young women and nearly half of all students are under age. Washburn has the remarkable record of having sent to the front, therefore, about one in three of its qualified students. We question whether this record can be rivaled by any col-' lege in the United States. A great many people have been surprised at the size and importance of the Philippine Islands, of which we hear so much during these days of war. They are situated not a great distance from China and consist of about 1,200 islands of which 408 are inhabited.

The total area is, over 115,000 square miles, and the population is over 7,000,000 or five times that of Cuba. The annual trade amounts to $60,000,000 a year, or double that of Cuba, and with the Cubans they cherish the same hatred of Spain. The Kansas regiments are all very much in hopes that they may be sent to these islands. Professor Lovewell is giving the Seniors in the Physics class an unfair advantage over the other members of the class. As the Seniors are excused for a part of the hour to listen to Dr.

MacKenzie's lectures, Professor Lovewell has them do all of the reciting during the time they are there..
