Wc wish to thank the Jianner for its kindly and just icmaiks concerning the action of the U. of N. hoys at the state oratorical contest at Donne. The Wesleyan, fiom Hloominglon, 111., is ill at case because it seems that the attendance has fallen ofl in the past year. Wc advise it not to worry but to hope and work on. A new exchange comes to us in the Mount St. Joseph Col legian. The articles are all well written and interesting; yet their is haidly enough. The new comer is very welcome. The College Student gives its April number to the memory of the late Professor William Ncvin, L.L.D. It is with great sadness that they bid faiewcll to their late helper. We extend our spmpathy. Haivard, Columbia, Princeton, Wcsleyan, and the univcr. sily of Pennsylvania all have successful dramatic societies the largest being the "Mask and Wig Club" of the last named univcisiy.- Ex. Piofessoi Edward II. Campbell, of the chair of chemistry, in thcU. ofM., lost his eyesight by a gas explosion. He was cxpciimcntng with gas given oil fiom steel. The pro fessor is but a young man, hence the accident is all the more lamentable. The women of Wyoming organized a Woman's Ucpubli can League at Cheyenne a short time ago. The alliance paity has several piomincut women speakers. The girls of the U. of N. help mn the debating club. What's the matter with the women? Teacher Now, this is a symmetrical figure; can anyone tell me what symmetry is? Ah J thcic is a boy with his hand up. What is symmctiy, Wtle boy? Little Hoy Plazc, sor, it do be a place where they buries clean people. Jzx. The Medical University of Omaha had its commencement exercises at Doyd's theatre some time ago. Theie wcic twelve graduates. After the exercises a banquet was given to 200 guests at the Paxton. Omaha is quite proud o! her medical school. We wish it success. The U. ol W. Daily Cardinal comes out with a kick because the work on joint debate was refused credit by the faculty. The complaint is a just one. A little more practi cal woik in school life might be used to advantage in the lit erary as well as in the scientific line. The Is. W. Dramatic club, of Wisconsin university is con templating a tour of the state. Thsy played the Confederate Spy at Madison some time ago. Great was their success. They intend to goon the load m June with the following plays. "The Open Gate," "In Honor Hound" and "Uox and Cox." Why should the U. of N. not have a dramatic club? We suiely hnve plenty of good actois. The judges for the interstate contest at Minneapolis are: Hon. John M. Thurston, Omaha, Neb; ExGov. Larrabee, Clermont, Iowa; P. S. Henson, D.D., Chicago; on delivery; with CongiessmanHyran, Ex-Postmaster-General Vilas, Mad Those 011 thought and composition are: Hishop Warner, Denver, Col.; Chief Justice Hyron Elliot, Indianapolis, Ind.; and Pies-dent Angell, Ann Arboi, Mich.; with Ex Gov. J. P. St. John, Topeka, Kan.; President Fish, Albion, Mich.; and President Rogcis, Evanston, 111., as alternates. 'Our rising teachers are gradually slipping away f.-om us. Harvard and Leland Stanford have their eyes open to facts which oui stale legislature has blindly failed to recognize. The next scene will be that of our most progressive students packing their trunks for Chicago, Ann Arbor, Harvard, Col umbia, Johns Hopkins, or Vale. Someday the state will wake up to find that she has driven all her scholars into other lands." 5. U. I. Quill. Wc noticed in the late report or the icgcnts that tney say our institution has made great progress in the last few years. Yes, so wc have in one way. Hut from the way the students arc kicking it seems that we have piogresscd backwards as fai as professors are concerned. It seems that Nebraska as well as Iowa docs not keep the good professors, even when she has them. A committee ol four, representing Yale, Princeton, Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and Wcsleyan, recently presented some changes to the uilcsofthc intercollegiate football association, governing foot ball. The first is about the punt out." 11 the ball is unified the first try, it is proposed that another trial be allowed. II the second trial fails, the opposing team shall have the ball in the center of the field. The second proposes that, if a kick for goal is made, whether successful or not, the ball be placed in the center of the field. The thiid rule is in icg.ud to coaching. It an outsider attempts to coach, the rcfeicc shall warn him at once, and on a second offense order him outside the ropes. Ex No wonder at the thoughtof war Our feelings aie made sick, When brought to send their death afar, The cannons even kick. No wonder that the sea is rough, Aud waves so lofty break. Since every ship that sails across, Tries many knots to make. No wonder artists have good taste, And they enjoy their plenty, For every artist has, I know, Of palettes well night twenty. Yellow and Muc. Flrnt anil Last. First puff, Sick enough. First beer, Feels queer. First whiskey, Feels frisky. F"irst rum, Very glum. H randy mash, Mentil crash. All combined, Shattered mind. All done, Hearse for one. Ex. ALUMNI AND FORMER STUDENTS. New Orleans. New Orleans is a quaint old city, very different from the ordinary American city. I should think it must be very sim ilar to European cities especially in its older portion, which is distinctively French. The original Orleanian was, of course, a Frenchman, but now the population of the city is composed of men of all nations. The most numerous are French, Span- ish, ana Italians, excepting the Americans, who are now in ison, Wis., and Kob't Mclntyrc, Denver, Col., alternates, the majority. W1 5?
