There is an exception, however, md like most contradictions of all known rules and regulations It is a woman — Madame Sembrich. She is nearlyalcne in the history of music, for she^has led in all lines of vocal art. Mozart's baffling simplicities o( . pure, untroublfd and ungarnish.-d melodies; the florid Bellini; theatrical Kxjssir.i; direct, dramatic Verdi; the new schools and the old. Yon Weber and »W.iijmer. and the art lk-der of Schumann, \u25a0Schubert, Brahms. Wolf and Franz are *li. in her repertoire, and in all vocul forms she has won fame which most PrtSsts would be happy to achieve in \u25a0 one. . ,- 'j \u25a0--'/? ; • Maie.

It enjoys the distinction of betn^ the only business college on the Pacific coast that maintains a GRILL for Its students, where substantial hot' lunch is served at cost.' Students are particularly invited to bring their lunch from home and are not expected to patronize the GRILL unless they wish to'doso and then only to- the extent desired, such as for soup, coffee, tea. cocoa, etc.- This arrangement makes it unnecessary for the students who re quire a hot lunch to leave the school premises to obtain the same.
