But as no endowment has been provided, thenecessary funds have to be raised by its patrons. And, like in many otherinstitutions, the treasury of the athletic council is always at low ebb, andneeds occasional springtide. To bring this dbout and to help the two coursesjust mentioned the student body has for the last two years held a carnivalin the halls and corridors of the main university building. The presidentand professors have cheerfully given their sanction to this enterprise andhave suffered the inconvenience of a week's interruption of work after studiesof the last term had commenced. This intermission, however, takesthe place of the Easter vacation of other universities. The middle of Aprilwitnessed the third annual carnival, which was a success from beginning toend.
