Company. This will lie an uccommndation to many. The very pleasant weather, which has prevailed for the pint low weeks, permits the students to engage in out-door sports for oxoroihc. A. number of the students took a trip to Topeka, on the legislative excursion train. They report having a good time at the capital of Kansas. Tub Litti.k Ghookuv around the cor ner. W. W. English has removed his Grocery to West 11th street, one door .south of O. Call and see him. Quito a number of tlio students are getting the Hhck Hill's fever, and, if the malady increases, wo may expect to lose some of our energetic young men. Whenever the Prof is unavoidably absent from the Senior class, one of the members usually takes the chair. No little ability to teach is shown on the part of some of the Seniors. Since the adjournment of the Legisla ture, the minds of those students of polit ical tendency have become somewhat composed, and better recitations on their part follow as a consequence. Never have we seen the Opera House more crowded than it was at the last lee tuns of Prof. Collier. These lectures have advoiiised the University well and shown the ability of Prof. Collier in the science of Chemistry. The question of a suitable hall is agi tating the members of the University Un ion. There is a movement on foot to get possession of the Palladian Hall, Satur day evenings. Wo think the Palladians would bo wiling to share their hall with (ho Union in (his way, thus giving an opportunity for members of the societies to attend each meeting, if desired. A hundred stand of arms nrc on their way from Springfield, and will soon arrive. Our military boys arc waiting anxiously for the time when they can proudly march over the campus of (lie University, fully equipped for service. By the action of the Board of Regents at their recent meeting, students will not be permuted to room in tho University building. This will bo a source of incon venience to a number of students, as good comfortable rooms are not easily found elsewhere. Wo woidd suggest that tho literary societies of the University organize a joint lecture committee. Whonever there is a lecture both societies will patronize it, and wo think both are equally entitled to have a voice in the matter of selection of lecturers. Oh! it wii3 pitiful. Ho could onlv loiter near the premises, and dared no further go. Often would his longing eyes momentarily behold the lovely vis ion ; ho could send tender messages by small boys; but he wouldn't catch the mumps for any thing. Tncro was a cheap jewelry man in town the other day, selling gold lockets, rings, and numerous other trinkets for twenty live cents an armful. Wo noticed quite a number of students patronizing the man, and we expect to see the dear creatures profusely ornamented with gold and silver and rubies fair. It is a noticeable fact that students at tend some placo of worship every Sunday, with scarcely an exception. Tho chapel exorcises every morning, and the reveren tial aUcntioa of many of the students to religious matters throw around tho stu dents of tho Unlveisity an iullueucc that cannot fail to be bcuciicial.
