The Union Boys Debating club held an
enthusiastic session on last Saturday evening.
The ardor and enthusiasm increase with the
approaching preliminary debates. At the
last session it was decided that on Saturday
evening October 26th the regular debate
should be dispensed with in order to hold an
impromptu speaking contest. The particu
lars of the contest will be announced later.
The contest, however, will be a lively one
as a number of the U. B. D. C. boys have
already signified their intentions to par
ticipate. The seniors held a meeting last Friday, at
which numerous things near and dear to the
senior heart were anxiously discussed, such
as whether it shall be caps and gowns, or
plug hats and canes, etc. etc. A committee
was appointed to look up schemes for class
day, and another was chosen to arrange for
a reception to the chancellor. The meeting
was well attended and all seem very much
interested in class work. Mr. .1. E. Almy
succeeded Mr. Elmore as president, and Mr.
W. II. "Wilson wa elected secretary to fill
the vacancy caused by Mr. Tuft's death.
While attending the meetings of superin
tendents and principals last week, Principal
A. U. Waterhouse of Grand Island called at
the University and secured for his school
the loan of a fine collection of minerals from
the geological department, and a collection
of the product of student labor in the man
ual training department. Principal Water
house said he felt that many more students
would follow the delegation already in attend
ance from Grand Island could the' realize
fully the grand vork hi program bore. The
name is true of every high school of the
aiata, and the departments deserve groat
credit for the influence of the loans in creat
ing University enthusiasm in the high schools.

body would give us a quarter million!
The Nebraska Literary Magazine, under
the immediate direction of Professor Adams
and board, is already in the hands of the
printer and will be ready for subscribers in
about a week. Every student should possess
the forth coming number. It equals, if it
does not surpass, the issue of last year. The
article by Mr. Bclden on the Straussburg
Cathedral is alone worth the price charged
for the publication. When Mr. Bradt
asks for a sub every student it is hoped will
respond, even if he has to carry books over
to the new library to earn the money.
The Y. M. C. A's held a very interesting
meeting last Sunday afternoon. The sub
ject was, "Information along Y, W. C. A.
work." Miss Boose led the meeting and
presented the first topic, local work. Miss
Sue Pillsbury then told us about the state
work; Miss Atkinson, the international and

presented the work of the World's Y. W. C.
A.; and Miss Lena Anthony read a letter
from our own secretary, Miss Agnes C. Hill,
of Madras, India. The treasurer, Miss Au
man, presented the finance report. The bad
get has been carefully made out and it is
estimated that with seven cents per week
from each member all work can be fuliv
carried out for the ensuing year. Two old
members, Miss Bella Cross and Miss Bloom
ingdale, who have himn absent from school
for several years, were welcomed back and
twenty-one new members were received.
The number present was fifty -six.
