No Conversazione to be Held Un- til Next April--Changes in Journal Staff--The Science ** At Home." The ma Mater annual meeting of Queen's Al Society was held on Satur' day cvening, the attendance of 'stu- dents being large. D. E. Ross; as- sistant secretary, read his report, commenting upon items of interest that had occurred during the year. Lhe treasurer's report showed a sur- plus of $300, the largest balance in the history of the society. Several elections, were made in the constitu Wallace, who has M.A., the retiring filled that posi tion creditably, made a briei ad dress, reviewing the work of the vear, and mentioning particularly the oss the Alma Mater had sustained through the death of Principal Grant, vet expressing confidence in the new- tv appointed principal, Rev. Dr. Gor- don. The new exec utive was then in- stalled, the president, oJ. Laidlaw, B.A, making a few remarks on tak ing the chair. A vote of thanks to the old executive was unanimously passed. . At the regular meeting, held imme- diately afterwards, several changes were made in the personnel of the Journal 'staff. I. N. Beckstedt was ap- pointed editor-in-chief; TI. H. Billings, assistant editor; A. Petrie, man- aging editor; Bell, editor for medicine, and TT, S. Ferguson, edi- tor for theology. The report of the committee appointed to consider the advisability of starting a book-order department' was laid = over till next meeting. Some changes were made i the Athletic constitution, but several others proposed were held over. A medical student presented a re- parkable motion. He moved that the society express its regret at the con- duct of the arts' students at the con- cursus riot last Thursday night, as their actions brought shame ana row to the other faculties, and the Alma Mater hold the arts' dents liable for all damage done. contingent of medicals and: science men were present to support the mo- tion, but the president ruled it out of order, of its presentation had been given, The Alma Mater Society has prac tically decided to hold no conversazi one in January. It is probable that one will be held on the night of Con- vocation day, April 29th next, in honor of the new principal. In the old days, the conversazione was always held at the close of the session, and the Alma Mater Society will likely re- vive this old custom. Besides the medical and science ban- quets this week, the only social func tion of the winter vet to be held at Queen's will be the science "At Home" in the new Engineering building, next month. The science students promise that t will be the grand event of the session, it being in honor of the opening of their new building, on the second flat of which is a fine dancing hall. When the Grant Convocation hall is erected, and connected with the new Arts' building, Queen's will have a grand place for their conversazione. With the long and wide corridors of the Kingston building and the Convo- cation hall for dancing, a more ideal place could not be conceived of. --_-- Tarlowe Happenings.
