MAY FESTIVAL IS A FINANCIAL FAILURE Prof. Glen Discouraged—Prob ably No Fe tival Next Year In the financial report of the May Fes tival, the results are not encouraging, in vjoh an undertaking, there is a gi cm expense attached, which includes he advertising and printing, the hire of orchestra players and soloists. A large number of tickets sold is necessary to make the festival pay but this year it was not supported heartily enough by either students or faculty. The deficit was about three hundred dollars ,but this amount is paid by different or ganizations and individuals so that the members of the Choral Club will not be held responsible for it as they had expected. Professor Glen worked hard for the success of this and the con certs merited a much larger patronage than they received. There will prob ably be no May Festival next year.

A number of University students have recently shown their skill and dexterity in handling a canoe under circumstances requiring great presence of mind, ac curacy of vision, strength of muscle and luck, to the extent of shooting the rapids successfully at the head of the island. I he danger, according to the faculty, is that other students, less competent and experienced, though equally daring and courageous might make the attempt with disastrous results. “ I here is a moral responsibility,” says President Campbell, “resting upon the expert for the amateur which is not a light nor trivial responsibility.” Mrs. b.
