need scarcely be urged to journey southward this year, because 
they are well aware that they cannot afford to be absent; but 
those who were prevented from attending last year have a. 
double reason to make every effort to be among the fortunate 
ones this year. It is not only a trip fraught with the highest 
educational advantages, but it is a duty one owes to his health 
and happiness to throw off for a short period the cares of an ex¬ 
acting professional life and go forth into a most-picturesque and 
interesting country, into a land new to most of us, and to a city 
whose beauty and progressiveness form a constant source of

country. Begin your preparations now, and join your col¬ 
leagues beneath the southern sun.
