No studont who can p tssihly spare the time -should fail to hear Rev. MueAyeal next Tuesday evening on the "Religious Element in Polities " Better neglect a lesson than tniss it. Our base-ball boys- :u-e doing the best practice work we liave ever seen on the campus. Utidor the able direction of coach Robinson, we are sure to win some victories ou the inter collegiate trip, that will rcdown to the honor of the University. It is surprising to sec how many of the students huve planned for definate work during the summer We do not believe that there is a more energetic and businass like body of students in the United Slates. It i safe to say that over half at Icf-t of the young men are paying pari or all of their own expenses while they ai . in school Does this not mean ome lhing iu regard to the future Usefulness ofourstu dems We think it doe. Henceforth we will not see so many college graduates thrown on the world unprepared for the stern realities of life-adrift and awrcck Dmiuse life 1,SIS ,.,. al, ,-, ,, practice. Ficld-Day.

The girl's gymnasium exhibition last s.iturdny eveumgwas the most successful exhibition lti.it ha beeti given. The people who were fnunwtr enough to have tickets did not let the Jam m-i-ji llieiii at home. Some of the boys who could ni "work" a ticket were willing to sit in the window and did not seem to niiitd the rain. Anjihwg ! see the girls perform. The class work was very good and .showed llmi careful training, but the pa it which pleased tin-and ieuce most, was the apparatus work and tin- tiw drill. The girls surprised every one iu their apjuutu work. It was most like a four ringed circus t" tij and watch all of them. The periormaiice ou li ladder, the swinging .rings and Uie jumping '' perhaps the most difficult work of the cm ""'J,' The highest jump was live feet three inches The mass diill was very pretty. All tin ! (tuniii on to the floor and gate free hand work Tlie exhibition closed wiih a short game of basket ball. If Uie members of the legislature could hate seen the way the girls tumbled around, they would undoubtedly have considered it a very brutal and uncivilized game, even worse that! fool ball The girls entered into the work with a great deal of enthusiasm, and that accounts for the suo-ess of the exhibition. Thebojs will have lo work pretty hard if tlW give any thing which tvlil surpass the girls.
