THE HESPERIAN 18 There has been a strong movement on foot to expel Sweeney from Doane College. However, the unpleasantness has somewhat blown over, and Mr. Sweeney will probably remain ' to finish his course. The elass of 'y6 had a spread at the Conserva tory Friday evening, the 1 7th. Ye local editor, not being sufficiently urged, did not venture near; but, by those more fortunate, a pleasant evening is reported. A party of twenty-one from the Swedish Col lege at Wahoo visited the University the 24th. Kspccial attention was paid to the visitors in showing them the buildings and attractive fea tures of the University. The party were well pleased with their visit. Prof, and Mrs. Menzendorf, aided by a few members of the orchestra, furnished a number of delightful selections at the home of Rev. T. F. Stauftcr, Monday evening the 26th, the occasion being the 30th anniversary of the marriage of Rev. and Mrs. Stauffer. Oratorical contests are over for awhile, and the IlespiiRiAN local department will not be cut down to half its proper space. If you are one of the kickers who want more locals, please bear in mind that several have been thrown out each week, owing to contest reports. As soon as the weather will permit, the batallion will be given a chance to display its skill at target practice. Each company will be given at least two days on the range. Also, when the weather is line, the presentation of colors will take place some evening instead of dress parade. It speaks well for the band, an aggregation of thirty active young bloods, that during their recent trip to Omaha (and it was on St. Patrick's day, too) not a single member conducted himself othcr wise than in the most approved manner. ( The batallion should be proud to be associated with so exemplary a lot of musicians. " Ethical Culture in the College and Univer sity" is the subject of a very interesting speech delivered by Chancellor Canfield before the Na tional Educational Association at Saragota last summer. The speech is now printed in pamph let form, and will prove instructive to any one who will give it his careful attention.

Tucker is now college agent for the "Oak view" Hotel, Chicago. This hotel was built by Nebraskans, is managed by Nebraskans, and will be occupied largely by Nebraskans during the World's Fair.

In the Otago Daily Times (New Zealand) lately sent to the Chancellor by Dan H. Wheeler, of Omaha, are contained results of examinations at the New Zealand University. Twelve students, men and women, secured junior scholarships; twenty-seven passed the scholarship examinations creditrbly, and twenty-six candidates were suc cessful in the solicitor's law examinations. The list of those successful in matriculation examina tions is very long. Nearly all the names of the successful applicants for admission are pure Eng lish or Scotch. This is indeed a remarkable show ing for a country only about a century old. Mr. George Kennan, whose lecture for Feb ruary "istwas postponed on account of his seri ous ilfness, will appear Wednesday night, April eth, in the Lansing theatre, under the auspices of the Palladian Society. Mr. Kennan spoke last year on "An East Siberian Convict Mine. His lecture this time on "Russian Political Exiles " will be profusely illustrated with fine stereopticon views.
