Of the first class, comprising general exercises, such as church, morning chapel and gymnasium, there will be allowed thirty; absences during the first term and fifty! during the second term. ' Of the second class, comprising recitations, lectures, laboratory exercises, etc., no absences will be excused. Any student having a! certain percentage of absences In any subject, to be known as the "total exclusion standard," will not be allowed toj take the final examination in that subject; but must repeat it with the next class. A smaller percentage of absence, to be known as the "partialex-clusiostandard," will debar a student from if he falls In the first examination. It has also been announced; that a third examination in any subject will not be granted. Some important additions have Just been made to the museums at the University of Pennsylvania. Theodore Le Boutilier, a student in the medical school, who was a member of the Peary relief expedition," has presented among Others a cup and ball game obtained by him among the most northern Esquimaux.

GEORGE SHERWOOD, the beauty of these institutions is that a woman in her time may belong to any number of them simultaneously, which goes to prove that they bear one another no ill will and their relationship is quite harmonious. Only at election times is there any display of party feeling, and then it is not of a personal nature. The; choosing of their officers, especially the president, is a matter of much moment, and she must be a worthy leader in every respect, for as is the president, so is the society, in a great measure. When Mrs. John C. Coonley was elected to that chair by the Woman's club last spring It was by a flattering majority. The office sought the woman in this case and the choice In every way was a strong one. Mrs. Coonley is admirably equipped to be the head of Chi- -' cago's leading club, and combines wide culture with her many natural gifts. "I inherit a taste for clubs,"! she exclaimed. "My mother founded the first woman's club In Louisville, and she Is president of it at the present time." Mrs. Coonley was born in Virginia, but moved to Louisville when a child. Her father was a stanch union man. Her recollections of war times include many exciting scenes which as a child she but dimly understood. Mrs. Coonley is a busy woman, and her time is much taken up with different charitable and philanthropic projects in which she is deeply interested. She Is a member of the Fortnightly club, the Contributors, Twentieth Century, Amateur Musical club and the University guild, and yet she declares she is "not a clubwoman by any means." Her particular talent finds expression in very graceful verse, whiph from time to time; has appeared in different periodicals over her name. A' collection of her poems, "Under the Pines and Other Poems," will be brought out in this city at an early date. Her prose contributions have found their way into the eastern maga- , of Michigan law much more rigid this year The seniors . have lias ieretof ore. eight more lectures each week than had the Michigan Law Review dorsement, although with it you could ' be elected." ""President Tyler afterward declined this independent nomination and was never again a candidate for the presidency. President Millard Fillmore, who succeeded to the place by reason of the death of Zachary Taylor, was also hopeful of a nomination at the hands of the Whig convention, but that body was carried away by the glamor of the name and fame of Gen.

Of all the clubs in the city the most wonderful, in many respects, is the Alpha,: which, with its sister club, th Beta, numbers close on to a thousand! members. They differ from all other clubs, inasmuch as there is no board of 'f directors, no executive committees, nor red tape of any description. It Is reallyr like a dream club. Mrs. John C. Thomas is the president and founder, and the whole plan is to furnish, for a price so small as to be only nominal, meals for workingwomen, lodgings for strangers passing through the city,! or belated suburbanites, and to afford instruction in an endless number of subjects, from cooking to music and French, all to be within the reach of the very slimmest purse. "I have had such a club as the Alpha in mind for ten years," Mrs. Thoma explained, "but not until my children, married and went away from home did I feel myself free to establish it Then I had to convert my husband to the plan. He was inclined at first to think: it visionary, but now he is as enthusiastic as I am about It. We have glvem up our home on Ashland boulevard and live right here so I can give my personal attention to the work." The clubrooms in the old Athenaeumt building are fitted up with all the surroundings that are met with in a refined home. Such a decided success has Mrs. Thomas made of her club that she haa received an urgent call to explain Its workings before the Southern Federation of. Women's Clubs. It is expected that similar clubs will be established la the largest cities In the south. ; .

The Daughters of the American Revolution organization was not founded for philanthropic purposes, further than that its aim is to encourage patriotism among those who adopt America home. A favorite plan of Mrs. Kerfoot's is the establishment of a branch chapter for the children of of revolutionary heroes where appropriate readings, flag drill and such exercises as would tend to nurture a proper jpride in their native land will be given.
