SOCIETIES. 181 ments to these fellowships are made upon the grounds of good character, high attainments, promise of distinguished success in the line of studies chosen, and of usefulness to the University. The holders of the fellowships are required to give instruction in assigned subjects five to ten hours a week during the year. The time remaining is to be devoted to graduate study, and fellows are enrolled as members of the graduate school. Advanced degrees are open to them as to other members of this school. SOCIETIES. The Literary Societies have from the opening of the University enjoyed its fostering care. The ADELPHIC and PHILOMATHEAN societies, for men, and the ALETHENAI, for women, occupy spacious halls, which the members have furnished and decorated with taste and elegance. Meetings are held Friday evenings throughout the term time, are well attended, and are maintained with unflagging interest. They furnish excellent drill in writing, speaking, and parliamentary methods. Both the YOUNG MEN'S and YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS are active and useful organizations, and have a large membership. Subscriptions have been made by students and graduates, amounting to about $23,000.00, towards a new building for these organizations. A canvass has been started outside with the hope of raising the sum to $32,000.00. If this is successful the building will be begun at once. An excellent site has been purchased. Special organizations unite the students of NATURAL HISTORY, of CIVIL ENGINEERING, of MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, of ARCHITECTURE, of AGRICULTURE, and of CHEMISTRY, and in ATHLETICS.
