The bright and prosperous outlo' k for the Castaliaa of 1.S93 received an u'aexpected set back last week. The editors had labored long and earnestly, and about three weeks ago they collected and forwarded to the Boston Art Publishing Company, about 30 original drawings for fuif page cuts. The drawings we're pronounced by judges and others fortúnate enough to see them, unusually unique and artistic. Last Monday evening the board received a telegram from the Boston company stating that there factory had burned down and that all the cuts were destroyed. The iowest estímate as to the value of the cuts could not be less than S200. But this fact conveys but a small idea of thesignificance of the loss sustained; for it seems impossible at this late day to duplicate the drawings, or supply others suitable. The editors are naturally very much discouraged and have about decided not to publish the Castalian this year. It is understood that the material gathered together by this year's board of editors was superior in quality and variety to any that has eer before been arranged by a Castalian board, and they certainly have the sympathy of the whole University in their misfortune.
