Colored students in Medicine at McGill University, Canada, make these records: Drs. O. V. Marsh, R. S. Hall, S. D. Bernard and A. Bissember received the degrees of M. F., C.

In the first year E. E. Thompson was eleventh in aggregate honors of all subjects.

Smith who stands high in scholarship, especially in French and art; Cleveland, 13; one, Miss V. Washington, "is very bright. She should be helped to go on to college;" Indianapolis, 15; Miss Mildred Best was one of the twenty-nine [[16 images]] O. BUSTAMENTE, O. Wesleyan. T. A. MORTON, Kansas. E. R. MOORE, Iowa State. A.
