...first thing of interest that occurred after the holidays, was the announcement of the appointments for the junior exhibition from the class of eighty-eight.

In addition to this convenient directory, a list of the buildings and halls, of the fire alarm boxes, railroad stations, etc., is annexed. It might be mentioned...
