SOCIETIES OF STUDENTS.

LITERARY SOCIETIES.

There are two Literary Societies of long standing, the Washington
Society and the Jefferson Society, connected with the University. They
meet weekly in their respective halls for the purpose of cultivating debate
and composition, and hold public exhibitions at intervals during
the session, and at its close. Each Society bestows medals on its best
debaters, and the two Societies in conjunction give a medal to the best
writer in the University Magazine, which is maintained by them.

The Annual Address before these Societies will be delivered the present
year on June 29th, in the Public Hall.

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.

This society seeks to guard new students from evil influences, and
furnishes opportunities for Christian work in the University and its
neighborhood. It has been in active operation many years. It has established
and maintains the

STUDENTS' READING ROOM.

supplied with a large selection of the best periodical literature. It is
open to all members of the University upon the payment of an annual
fee of $4.00 to meet its current expenses.

good service in guarding students against vice, and promotes literary culture
by valuable prizes to its best debaters and orators.
