No.3. The syn1pathy of the faculty and students goes out to Professor and Mrs. Trueman in the loss of their son, Thompson. The death of this amiable and talented youth affects the College community. He had, with high hopes for the future, entered the freshtnan year. His scholarship and his faithful attention to every duty pron1ised the highest success not only in his Colleg-e course but in whatever work he might undertake upon his entry upon active life. II c had earned even in his short career, the respect and confidence of his instructors. THE LooKOUT regrets the departure of Professor L. A. Clinton. We shall miss his practical advice and his cheerful presence in the class room and on the campus. It is with pleasure that we note his advance to a more important place, an opportunity to enter upon a work of great importance, to which he will bring both interest and fitness. THE LooKOUT wishes success to Professor Clinton in his new place. Attention is called to the President's staten1ent of the needs of the College. These needs are urgent. The increasing usefulness of the College requires that they be met as soon as possible. Ever~ loyal son of Storrs ·will, it is hoped, exert himself to the utmost in lending aid to the effort of the president and the trustees. The ex­ cellent work already accotnplished under the ·wise and progressive management of President Beach is a guarantee of greater things to come, as greater resources shall enable him to carry out his well considered plans. The Christmas vacation, long anticipated, came with most un~ expected suddenness. The appearance of scarlet fever precipitated the closHre of the institution. This fact in itself seemed not all deplorable as the three days actually cut from the fall term com~ 52 THE LOOKOUT prised those days allotted to examination. The students at least felt that no harm was done by the erasure of these three days from the College calendar, and in consequence they greatly approved C'f the decision of the authorities to close the institution. Unfortunately, the falling of New Year's on Wednesday gave an opportunity to the ever-watchful faculty to compensate the loss of the three examination days by a compulsory return of the students on Thursday, the second of January, ·and the pursuance of the ·ex­ aniinations on Friday and Saturday; so that the new term began a= scheduled ·without giving the extra three days so fondly hoped for. It is perhaps a matter of congratulation that as compared with former years the examinations just concluded show a comparatively small number of unfortunates seriously. conditioned. The gain in this direction is gratifying evidence of an increasingly serious spirit on the part of the students, even if the average accon1plishment of those who pass successfully is not so tnuch higher. The result points also to the advantages arising frotn the demand for better entrance preparation.
