Ag stated by former committees, there still remains great defects in elocution. A clear and distinct enuncia- tion ef well choren words, added to the knowledge that the cadets now have of the subjects they stuay, would add more to the reputation of the sneutution thaa anything we can now suggost. Nothing is more pawful than to see # young mun who underetanda hig subject well undertake eo domon- trate with his ipe-almost and his words uaftiy chosen. White the professors and instructors generally are good elocutionists, and express themselves clearly, it increases con ‘that the pupils should be so defective ia this particular. We therefore suggest that a renewed and persistent effort be mace to cure this defect. All of which is respectfully submitted. R. L. BAKER, LR. PAGE, JOaN KeRe, G. W. Cass. . P. VAN ANTWERP.

The roofings also of the Lidrary and Ondet’s Hospital aro seriously defective, and require immosiate repair. The building known as the fand Barracks we found utterly unfit for occupancy. It is old and delapidated, the rooms incapable of avy syetom of ventilation, and, in brief, we regard the building ag no credit to the spot {¢ ocsu- ‘08. ‘That a new bnilding, apd one adapted to the purpase of what is now but a questionable apology for the Band Barracks, should be erected, is too self suggestive and palpable to require more than the mere casual mention.
