itmmummtmmmama THE HESPERIAN W J ft ft n u BIXBY'S The other day I fell to mnsing and mused of the fair co-ed. I thought how Mary Jane Smith, a modest maid from a coun try village, hither came; how she wont her way with a dozen or two red-edged books under her arm; how she came regu larly to class and sat demurely in the back row and how coy modesty painted roses on her cheeks when the ruBtic prep blundered out her first compliment. But now 'tis otherwise. Although in days gone by she drove tho cows afield upon her father's farm, she's now above tho common herd and moves in "huppor suckleB," because, forsooth, she's joined a two-bit fret. She passes me by on the other side afar off , and watches some little' dude shorten the noiBomo cigarette or suck the esculent end of a cane. I learn that in the celebration Saturday the now building will be handed by tho governor to Eegont Morrill, by him to Chancellor MacLean, and by him to Dean Bessey. I hasten to assure tho public that special precautions will bo taken to prevent the building from dropping on tho spectators while in transit. My attention was attracted lately by observing Prof. Fryo with no cigarette between his ruddy lips. Upon inquiry I find that he is about to present tho world with an epic poem. RETREAT. Tho assistants in the English department, and others who have enjoyed peeps under the canvas, say that tho new epic wears whiskers. It is hoped by all friends of the present Senior class that it will not fall a victim to tho cap and gown ovil when com mencement time comes around. Tho graduating class last year reminded me of nothing so much as a lot of monks and Sisters of Chaiity attending tho funeral of a Catholic priest. Even a pretty Senior girl loses hor charm when attired in a black mother-hubbard ; but when I see a number of tho male sex in such an outlandish outfit rented for tho occasion' well! I feel instiuctivoly that there are occasions when sharp toed shoes are useful as well as ornamental. Bix, I beg you to remember, Wiley Woodruff, That wo beat you laBt November, ' Wiley Woodruff.
