The Reading-room is flourishing. The Societies have appropriated $50 to it. With this amount and with fees from other sources the committee propose to make it first-class in all respects. Through the courtesy of the State press most of our own papers are received in addition to a fine selection of magazines, dailies, &c. The Archive desires to thank them, and still has thanks ready for the remainder of the profession on receipt of their papers.

The Hundley House boys say they are all glad to be together again under “Father’s” hospitable roof. His dry and witty remarks are an unfailing source of fun and merriment. He seems to enjoy hugely the German games in Prof. Armstrong’s room. “Father” answers the call of “Herein!” as promptly as the brassiest linguist in the house. Just persevere, “Father,” and you will soon be able to astonish the natives with your Dutch.
$25,000 turned loose in Trinity every year by the students alone! Merchants, ponder over that and remember that The Archive furnishes an excellent advertising medium. Let us, again, say to the students that it is to their interests to patronize those firms which are represented in our advertising columns.
