chemistry, the results of which were
recently announced at the banquet for

narrowed the field to one student

took second, third, and fourth places
respectively in the contest.

well to take first place in the contest.

the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.

problems will be discussed. About
three hundred and fifty delegates are

such a convention knows the value of
them, and should be anxious to get
a chance to go to this one. None of
the A. and M. delegates have been
chosen, and Mr. Cashion will be glad
to give anyone all the particulars of
the convention.
