Mr. Truelson, after taking a weok'fl lay oft to get married, so he Bays, la back again. Dr. Lllllo, who hnH charge of physi ology In tho medical department at Lincoln, made the college a short call last week. 8aturday evening Dr. and Mrs. 6wen ontertalned the seniors at a kllnch party. Mr. Gage carried off first prize, a hypodermic, while Mr. Townsend won tho booby prize, a cllnlcnl ther mometer. If we had only known, the latter would not have been won so easily. Tho seniors wish to express tholr thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Owen for th.o pleasantest evening of tho season. Tho medical clinics held at the coun ty hospital this yoar by Dr. Mllroy havo boon exceedingly valuable. The doctor has not only occupied the whole of every Saturday forenoon in a gen oral cljnlc, but has given us two or three extras a week. Tills means the loss of much tlmo to Dr. Mllroy in hie private practice, but it Is a boon to our class and we appreciate his sac rifice. As tho end draws near the seniors aro being given unusual opportunities to seo clinical work. Threo nights a week Dr. Jonas has been operating upon tho cadaver, showing us opera tions that wo have not boon able to boo often at the hospitals. They havo been amputations and cranial opera tions, while one evonlg was spent on tho various methods of making intes tinal BUtures. Dr. Owon takes two sections of tho class to hlB office dally for practical work, while Dr. Olfford. famous for accomplishing much In a Bhort tlmo, has broken the record by accommodating every section of tho class in special clinics InBldo of thirty six hours. Dr. Blcknell gives practical work in optics whenever a section can find a vacant hour. JUNIORS. Mr. Donlgn 1b anticipating a trip to Iowa before plunging Into the west. Romomber ub to tho dog, Fritz. Rjimor has It that although we have not had any surgical anatomy this year, wo will bo expected to pass up on that subject. Some of tho boys are redeeming thomsolvos by attondlng the holiness meetings In Schlltz roof garden, that bolng a familiar resort. Dr. A. C. StatoB wni flnlBh up his course next week with tho Juniors. Then como tho examinations, which toll what wo will bo next year, Juniors or sonlors. A goodly number of tho Juniors In tend remaining In the city during the summer. Wo hopo thoy will bo bene fited greatly In tho lino of medicine, as thoro Is certainly a good opportunity for tho ones who try to make tho most out of work offered thom. SOPHOMORE. Harry MorriB spent Sunday at Cres ton, la. ID. A. Baker, is a first year man In tho law department, U. N. Mason wants to know If rag-chowers aro predisposed to Balicosls. E. A. Baker, brother of M. D. Baker, medics '05, vlBltod classes Saturday. According to Adams, B. Eberth Is more susceptible to guinea pigs than B. Coll Communis. Dr. Stokes will complete chemical work and hold exams a week or two earlier than Intended, as tho doctor leaves for Europe about May 10. Penciled oyebrowg. aro again in vogue. Any old kind of a lead pencil will do, and It doesn't matter If fore head Is pretty well Bmoarod up too. Dr. Lyman and Dr. Troynor will give flnalB In physiology on Friday, April 17th, to dents. Dr. Lyman will con tinue lectures to medics till the end of tho term. "Microbe" McDonald and "Bohun kua" Lanzer amused the class with a choice assortment of fits In bact lab last Friday, merely because Walsh made a diagnosis of Fraenkel's germ from a common mould. Dr. Jonas gave a very Interesting lec ture and demonstration of Intestinal suturing and anastomosis with tho Murphy button on Friday evening. Tom Lacey, Crelghton Medical 'OG, visited 'classes Monday. The class met Saturday forenoon to hear reading of a proposed amendment of claBB by-laws, providing for elec tion of class officers in the spring In stead of fall as heretofore. The amendment was discussed and an ad journment taken until Tuesday morn ing, at which meeting tho amendment was passed by unanimous vote of the clasB. A prominent member of tho class pondered deeply on the proper naming of Individuals. After a week or two of heavy thought he decided a certain young lady Bhould be called "Sofia" (he pronounced It Sofire). After reach ing this conclusion he determined to Inform the young lady as soon as pos sible. At their next meeting: "Why, how are you, Miss Blank? Say, a-a-a-Mlss Blank, I have decided to change your name." MIbb Blank: "Why, this Is bo sudden but well, maybe you had better talk to mamma." Now he wonders. The soph ball nine played a picked team from the dental department at Woolworth ball park Wednesday after noon. There was a good turn-out.from both medical and dental departments, the grandstand, bleachers and boxes being filled. The rooting was of the good old-faBhloned Bort; the vocal or gans assisted by a tin pall in which a few bricks had been thrown. The field and team work of both nines wbb very ragged, but, nevertheless, tho game was full of ginger from start to finish. With two men out In the last half of the ninth, the denta balked on a deci sion of the umpire and refused to play, thereby forfeiting the game. At this time the score stood: Soph medics 10, dents 6. Batteries Medics: Morris, Walsh and Mlllor. Dents: Norton, Porter and McClaren. Umpire Un derwood. FRESHMEN. Dr. Peterson (drifting Into anatomy) "How many in your dissection found tho obliterated hypogastric arteries?" Student who takes a deep interest in embryology "How old would a chick h'ave to bo, doctor, In order to find these?" Ho neglected, however, to tell us "why ho asked." The dental students havo left us; now for the hard flnlBh that haB been promised us by some of tho professors. Dr. Stokes, profeBBor of chemlBtry, leaves the middle of next month for Germany and England to engage In ex tensive post-graduate work. The an nouncement called forth genuine re gret from all tho medical students. The loss of bo popular a lecturer Is to be regretted, as It takes a new man sev eral years to get acquainted, leaving out the question of proficiency entirely. Undoubtedly ho will accept a chair when he returns, and we will profit by the knowledge ho will have acquired. Besides, ho will havo some Btorlea to toll! The doctor has our best wishes In spite of his' base desertion, which wo hope will bo but tomporary. "Tho melancholy days aro here, tho saddest of tho year," In spite of tho most delightful of Bprlng weather. Ex amination alwayB causes considerable worry, oven In tho best prepared of students. During the entire year the medical student has envied the Btudent in the other departments of tho Uni versity who at Home time every day reach a point where he could conscien tiously lay aside his books, knowing his work to be done. The medical student, like tho proverbial house wife, 1b never done, but now to put In his holidays In addition "plugging up for exam" nearly breaks his heart. A medical Btudoiu realizes that upon his knowledge depend not only his liveli hood, but life and death as well. His education cannot bo gained In a slip shod manner; he can't hope, however, to be a master of tho science in the strictest 8enBo of tho word. The hope and desire of becoming a specialist leads many to neglect Bome line of study in tho lntorests of his favorite. Yet each professor, in the average be ginner, calls forth a desire to know as much of that man's particular branch as possible, in consequence of which he devotes pretty much the greater part vof each day, six days per week. In hard study only to realize Ion tho seventh how little ho really knows and how far he who would bo a specialist is from being a general prac tioner even.

YJU CHDCDLATESBDNflDNS Sold only by Harley Drug Co., 11th & 0 Ste a Overheard" Tho reporter started out on his own accord to work up a symposium upon popular complaints that are to be heard among University students. He met with fair success. All were will ing to tell their woes, and out of a heterogenous mass of material, the re porter was able to slmpe these com plaints that appealed to him as being JiiBt and well-founded. The classical student was turning the pages of tho Iatln dictionary Itt a manner eloquent of aggravation, and when asked to explain the trouble, was not backward In expressing himself: "I nevor saw anything arranged so In conveniently as these Latin diction aries," ho said. "For example, I spend several minutes In looking up a word, only to find myself referred to some other form of the same word. Then tiro work has to be done all over again. In this way a person has to engage In a regular hunting expedi tion beforo nailing tho prey. Why can't the authors of these Latin dic tionaries take up a little more space and give the meanings of the word with each form' that appears. Instead of making a person chaso around through the whole book? If you can Imagine tho feelings of a man who Is trying to fit an obstinate globe on the lamp and hold a lighted match in hlB fingers at tho same time, you can easi ly appreciate tho state of mind of a student who, after laboriously looking up the form given In the book. Is di rected to pursuo his Investigation a llttlo farther." The man who drills was loud in his complaint and readily stated the cause of his grievance. "Nothing," he said, "Is so galling to a man who Is honestly seeking to Berve his required tlmo In tho cadet battalion as to find himself the object of derision on the part of Ir responsible persons. Were you ever obliged to spraddio along In the marching column, trying to keep close up, while some notorious Bluffer who had dodged IiIb military obligations stood grinning derisively at your exer tions. If you haven't, you have been spared some bitter experience. If there Is ever a tlmo when homicide is justi fiable, then is tho time. A man, who has been through the mill and taken tho required drill. haB too much self respect to stand around and enjoy the di scorn fort lire of his successors In arms. It is only this crowd of sluffers whose narrow wits and distorted sense of humor will permit them to do this. Any other branch of the human race would be ashamed to stoop to the in DO NAT u i M i 1 1 pjIhAiv Nl It n JhI BI V Tires, eaul VU h iW in our fig HIGH GRADfi dulgence of such a depraved sense of humor." "I wish you would glvo the debaters a little 'knock' for me," said a young lady to the reporter. "Well, you know Professor Fogg already 'has it in' for the paper pretty thoroughly," replied the reporter; "but If you Bay so, why here goes. What la It?" "Why, tho way they bother everybody. I know I'm pretty bad, myself, at talking In tho library alcoves, but I'm not a cir cumstance to those boys, when they once get started on the trust, or arbi tration, or something else. They use all the room, talk all at once, and In every tono from a stage whisper to Mr. Peters' bass monotone. And then they get mad, and wave their arms, and say 'That's not so!' 'That Is so!' and other tilings too shocking to men tion. They've driven me out of the east alcovo entirely, and In the even ing I keep running against them every where. I'm Just about crazy, and If they don't get through pretty soon I'll have to take refuge In a sanitarium." Have C. A.
