OUll COLLEGE NEWS.
Too Latic -A number of iloniB from
our correspondent lit Peru vii9 received
loo Into for tills Ihhuo.
0iikai Homombor tlmt the subscrip
tlon price of Ibo Student is as low as
tho lowest. Only one dollar a year, or
fifty cents for live montliB.
Snukk Tho stiient who gave snuff to
those ladies tho other evening did not
know how much fun ha was making for
tho rest ol the boys.
Oiioqukt. Tho merry click of tho cro.
quel bails can he dally heard at tho dor
mltory while the students are waiting for
their suppors.
II. W. B. The " personal avarice" of
Itcv. Henry Ward Bcochor was eloquent
y discussed to a " tickled" audience, by
n young gent a few evenings airo.
Quhkii. The manner in which the
OhcmiHtry class take their seats is pecul
iar to say the least, One of the class told
us that it suited him exceedingly well.
Died. As wo go to press, wo regret to
learn of the death of Leandcr 11. Eckhart,
formerly a student of tho University; as
our time is limited we will notice it in
our next.
Success. Wo are pleased to say that
II. II. Wilson, who has been appointed as
agent for tho Student in this city, has
been very successful thus far, and we tru.
ly hope his success will continue.
Hua. Probably that Freshman will
soon bo married. We should judge so
from tho reason of his hugging that friend
whom he so urgently requested to sleep
with him a few evenings ago.
Stuanuk. One of tho alumni is very
active, but it is curious that he should
prefer jumping out of tho second story
window of a boarding house instead of
going down stairs as Ills friends do.
Qukiiy. Ain't it a little transparent
where some of tho students go during
recitation hours, especially those two
young gents and ladies? If It is not re
pealed wo will say no more about it.
UriiiiU Class. Prof. Bailey has organ,
izod a Bible class at tho Baptist Sunday
School for tho benefit of tho University
students. Tho class meets at twelve
o'clock, and all are cordially invited to
attend.
Bold. That Junior did not seem to
care for tho thoughts of the world when
he was running around tho University
witli a braid of some girls hair pinned to
Ills coat; we would like to know what
kind of a hair-pin ho calls himself.
Fmmuukd. Wo cannot see why that
young gent, who was walking down to.
wards tho southern pari of our city a
couplo of Sundays ago in tho direction of
Miss house, should get so worked up
if ho were only going around to tho ofilce.
33i,ouimoN. Tho class in elocution bo.
foro tho Chancellor had the sentence, " I
am for tho declaration," to practico on,
and ono of tho students became so oner
getic In rehearsing it, that long before tho
break of day ho commenced reciting It.
His landlord thought burglars were in tho
house and rushed up stairs, en dishabille,
to conquer thorn. On opeuing tho 8oph's
door ho was mot with, " I am for-'tho dec
laration," and so on ad infinitum. Ho
returned to his .disturbed slumber, and is
confident that ho has a very energetic stu
dent under his roof.
Soenk inTiuoonomkthy CiiASH. Prof,
refers to n hard problem and asks ft stu
dent, " Did you succeed in working tho
problem' ?"
Studknt. Awh 1 no. 1 was somewhat
embarrassed for want of tune.
Sleepy. One of tho students at tho
dormitory woke up tho other morning to
find an empty prach can his bedfellow,
and some saucers arranged on his table,
which appeared to have boon used by
some ono else. Ho is anxious to find out
who "stood treat."
Curious. Can anyone tell us what
prompted that Soph to go down town and
purchase clothing that was not for his sex
and then try to make the students at tho
dormitory believe that it was part of a
gentleman's outfit. From such actions
wo judge that a marriage will soon occur.
A Good Excuanok. Wo are pleased
to note the fact that we havo on our ex
change list, the daily Lincoln Blade. It
is one of tho livest dailies in the state,
and wo bellcvo that under tho charge of
Major Caffrey the Blade will never be
found wanting In sharpness. It can be
found every morning at tho dormitory.
Lauok. Tho other day a brave and
bold company of three, wont up on tho
roof of tho University after an owl. They
were well armed, ono having a navy,"
another a shotgun, and tho third a huge
club. Thoy were successful in bringing
tho owl down, and it was a fine, largo one,
measuring four foot between tho tips of
tho wings.
Tiuokbtku. Ono of tho Students at tho
dormitory has justly earned tho title of
sleight-of-hand .performer. A few nights
ago he managed to go to bed, to lock the
door and wake up in tho morning to find
his washbow' and pitcher gone, and tho
door still locked, but with tho key on
the outside. But what bothers him tho
most is to understand how ho locked tho
door, and then jumped through tho key
hole with tho key still in tho lock. We
" guvo it up."
Mistake, A young lady made a slight
mistake tho other morning in the Chan
cellor's office. Tho Chancellor had not
yet arrived, and a sprightly young fresh
man occupied tho President's chair. A
young lady who desired to enter the Uni
verslty took him to bo ono of of tho fac
ulty, and after tho Fresh had found out
where the young lady resided, and what
is of more importance her name, ho in
formed her that tho Chancellor would
soon bo in.
Mahhiaoks. Marshall ,Myers. On tho
11th day of this month, Mi. J. D. Mar
shall, postmaster at Plattsmouth, to Miss
Frank C. Myers, formerly a student of our
University. Wo cordially wish them sua
cess. Lashloy, Birdsull. At the residence o
tho bride's parents, Harvard, on Thursday
Oct. lfith, 1874, by Uov. E. J. Willis, Mr.

Birdsall.
The happy couple took the evening
train westward, en route to their new home
in Beaver City, Furnas county, where Mr.
Lashloy Is carying on an extensive busi
ness. Harvard Advocate.
Thoy wore both formerly students of
our University-aud wo congratulate Add
on his good fortune in securing for a wife,
tho young lady who was tho admiration
of every gentleman in attendance at tho
University. May thoy live long and over
bo prosperous.
SouiAiti.KS. Tho Palladia!) society hold
a social on Friday evening, Octobor Oth
and it was, beyond all doubt, a decided
success. Thoir hall, which has always
received tho highest praiso from every
one who has over visited it, presented it's
usual fine appearance; and, though largo
as It U, it was crowded with merry
throngs of students, who were bent on en-
joying thcmoolcs. Tho Palladia!) Hall
furnished room for a number ol promen
atlers, but the spacious hall out-side of
tho society room was continually crowd
ed with gallants and their ladies.
As tho members of tho Adolphian So
ciety were specially invited to bo present,
thoy entered the hall after a short session
of their own society, and mingled in tho
mirth and merriment. During tho even
ing wo wore favored with some choice
music by the Misses Montgomery and
Ilohmaun. All that stiffness of formali
ty, which wo sometimes see in social
gatherings, was thrown off, and all
seemed to enjoy themselves. Refreshments
were served, consisting of tempting
peaches, luscious grapes and tho overodl
ble confectionery. At the hour of 10
o'clock the bell pealed forth, warning us
that it was time to disband; we were in
tho midst of our gaiety, and many a gal
lant lad and sweet lassie went home, wish
ing that the hateful old bell had been si
lent for a time longer.
The plan of holding a social at the com
mencement of a term, as adopted by the
Palladians is an excellent idea, as it brings
tho now students together and affords all
an opportunity to become acquainted
with eacli other. The social was highly
commended by the Chancellor and the
professors who were in attendance and
wo hope that ere long tho Palladians will
give another of thoir charaotetistio socials.
On the 23d of the present month tho
Adolphian society held a social. Tho
Palladians by a special meeting of their
own society, held no meeting that even
ing, but turned out en vume to tho most
successful of all the Adolphian socials
and enjoyed a merry time. Wo wero
pleased to see that so many wero in at
tendance, but apologize to those ladies
who wished to see tho Studknt oillco, for
its appearance. Wo do occasionally have
it swept out and ere long will bo able to
invito tho fair sex up into our sanctum'
The daily papers of tho city comment
quite highly on the social and wo are iu
dined to give the lady members of the
society the credit of causing it to be so
successful.
But wo learn at this time that our Editor-in-chief
lias made use of the two above
locals for his editorials and sympathizing
with our readers. for having to road tho
sumo matter twice we forbear to say more,
than tills we hope that both socials will
be repeated.
New Cunt. On the 20th of this month
the students assembled In tho clianel iml
organized a now association, which is
Known astlie" Students Gymnastic Cluh "
They elected officer? with tho following
result: Amos U. Unntt, President; II. II.
WiUon, Vice President; J. F. McKesson.
Secretary; W. II. McBroom, Treasurer.
Ono of tho motions which unanimously
prevailed in the mooting, was: That a vote
of thanks bo tendered to the German Tur
ner's Society of Lincoln for tho kindness
which they havo shown us.in allowing us
to place their horizontal bar. etc.. in our
gymnasium. Tho officers also appointed
tuo lollowing named committee to take
ohnrgo of tho gymnasium: A. W. Field
W. II. Ncedham, G. E. Howard and G.m!
Hawley. Wo aro pleased to sco iho gym
nasium opened up and hope that all tho
students will make good use of It. If it
Is properly conducted, it will bo afeaturo
of tho University of which wo will bo
proud ; if it is neglected, tho apparatus
had hotter bo returned, and tho doors
locked. In connection witli the gymnas
ium we would say that Prof. Bailoy is or
ganizing a class for practico in tho uso of
Indian clubs, and as his terms aro moder
ate wo hope he 111113 have a largo class.
Must Sikak. A few evenings ago, ono
of the Palladians took particular interest
in a debate and consulted numerous au
thorities on the question, but not notify,
ing tho President of Mie society, tho do
bate was declared closed before ho could
speak. However, ho was full of talk, and
after seeing his young lady homo ho got
two or three of tho boys together and de
livered his speech. Wo have heard that
it was a fine address, but an awful poor
audenco.
Law. Wo are pleased to note tho fact,
that Messrs, W. II. Snell and John McLean
have been admitted to practico law. Thoy
were admitted in the Third Judicial Dls-'
trict, and start for Georgetown, Col., on
the 2nd of next month, where thoy will
locate.
Mr. Snell is a member of the graduat
ing class of '73 and Mr. McLean was for
merly a student of tho University. They
were both members of tho Palladlau so
clot', and in tlto departure of theso gen
tlcmon, the society loses two of its best
speakers; and each and every ono of ub
unite in hoping that the law-firm of
" McLean & Snell" may ever be prosper
ous. They are both pleasant nnd.tgreeablo
gentleman, and wo commend them to tho
citizens of Georgetown as energetic, wide
awiiko young men, who will promptly at
tend to any and all business which will
be intrusted to their care.
