10 THE HESPERIAN Dnvo Crabtrco, who is at tho head of Chappell schools, reports everything in his lino flourishing nicely, though the ground is a little dry. Tho Y. W. C. A's first "at home" was held at tho homo of Miss Stella Longhridgo last Saturday evening. About one hundred were present. Allen Fling made a flying trip to Lincoln and the University a week ago last Saturday. He is enjoying his work very much in Ne braska City and reports tho high school of that burg in a a flourishing condition. Ho also informs us the young idea was shooting wonderfully under Mr. Harry Barber's mas terly direction. Mr. Ed. Soarson, of the class of '98, has quit school and gone to Texas. He expects to engage in educational work down there, so in one instance, at least, tho apostropho of the Hon. John M. Thurston will bo re futed. Mr. Searson will not nurture tho youth at the mouth of a Colt's revolver. We congratulate the land of tho tarantula and the cactus. Wo understand that John Green has boon very sick with typhoid fever. But careful attention and his own vigorous constitution have, it is now thought, brought him out all right. We all rejoice at this, for what would the U. of N. do without jovial John Green? We understand that it will soon be safe to let him return home from the sani tarium where he has been receiving treat ment. Miss CurtisH entertained a number of her Union friends at her homo at 925 C street on Thursday evening. About twenty couples were present. Games commemorative of tho evening were freely indulged in, and festivity of song and jest. Excellent refreshments wore served after which tho company was entertained in added Hallowe'en amusements. At a late hour the guests de parted unanimously agreeing on the ability of Miss Curtiss as a hostess. The second meeting of tho English Club for this year was held Saturday evening, tho 19th, with Mrs. Ilendee, formerly Miss Russoll. Prof Adams ga,-o a alk on Max Nordan's degenerate book, iron which tho club found its much dc.ireu new name, "Graphomaniacs." Sketches were read by Miss Wort and Miss Bullock, a queer thing unnamed by Mr. Alexander, and an ex cellent story by Mrs. Hcndcc. Prof. Batos was critic for the evening. Tho classical depnrtment after a three hours tussle with the faculty have succeeded in having all books relating to their depart ment located in a departmental library. The classical alcove will be again open and used for storing these books. Cortain stu dents will be given charge of the library and they will be responsible for the books. This is to prevent the unprincipled borrow ing (without asking) of books which has been in vogue among certain students. The trouble in inducing the faculty to allow tho books to be moved was in regard to general works as regards the monographs, texts, etc., there was no difficulty. It was finally decided that tho general works should be moved but students in other departments were to have access to them when desired. Chancellor MacLoan is kept constantly busy filling appointments through the state. This is as it should be, it keeps the Univer sity in touch with its patrons and tho pro paritory schools and brings forcibly before all our common interests. Last Saturday, tho 20th, he spoke at Fairbury before a teachers association, and tomorrow evening he addresses tho students of the Waverly public schools. The suggestion lot fall by Prof. Hodg man at tho Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. recep tion that tho University should try and im prove the condition of people living on the bottoms, has been prolific of results. Al. ready tho Y. M. C. A. has a mission Sun day school at Ninth and Z streets which is meeting with very encouraging results. A
