Fine Lecture by Prof. Gilliland

   The lecture delivered by Prof. W. D. Gilliland, principal of the High School, before the members of the Kappa Sigma Pi at Trinity church Thursday night was a splendid effort. Prof. Gilliland is an excellent speaker and his talk of an hour was an intensely interesting story, fraught with humor, on “His Life and Experience in South America,“ which moved his audience to laughter and applause at intervals.
   Prof. Gilliland was born at Iquique, Chile, and spent his early life in that tropical country and attended an academy there, putting him in a position to speak intelligently and entertainingly. All in all the lecture was unusually entertaining and instructive and was immensely enjoyed by all present.
