Geometry, and Calculus are studied.
The Euclid club is an organization which has for its ob-
jects, to equip the mathematical department with appliances
and apparatus and also to drill its members in the practical
application of the principles learned in the school room. In
both these the club has scored a great success. We have ob-
tained through this organization an excellent surveyers coin-
pass with telescope attachment, valued at $100.00, also a set
of geometrical figures and other appliances.
The club has two meetings per week and is a veritable
night school in the line of mathematics. The programs are
published in the Wiley Reporter with solutions of problems.
As a practical application of mathematics the club issued
bonds bearing eight per cent. and running two years. The
money thus raised was invested in mathematical instruments.
The finances of the club arc in good condition, the bonds
have always been promptly paid at or before maturity.
The interest which the students take in the work of the club
is very encouraging.

The classically educated man is everywhere in evidence

Intellectually the Greeks accomplished more than any
people before or after them. They were the authors of phi-
losophy and modern thought. The Romans built the founda-
tion upon which, to a great extent, our western civilization
