6 THE HESPERIAN STUDENT. I" ', hi Since tho ground has becomo frozen wo miss tho continual click of tho croquet mallet at tho dormitory. Thcro havo been more visitors at tho University this term thnn wo usually sec, and they wcro all pretty well satisfied with what they saw. Can anyone inform ua what mado a particular Prep take such a fancy to tho words of a popular song Oh 1 Susie, I hopo you'll never die? As usual our ofllco presents a clean appcaranco; whenever wo expect visitors we brush up, and you know that it is now tho closo of tho term. Some of tho Regents do not liko to have the books in tho library all marked up with tho opinions of the readers, as they think it defaces the books. The daily evening paper of this city showed a good deal of energy in sending reporters to tho last meetings of both tho literary societies, for tho term. Those students who staid hero during vacation had somo merry times sleigh, riding, as wo had a snow tho last night of tho term that was three or four inches deep. Quito a number of students have at tended the Free Congregational Church this term, to hear tho lectures of "W. E. Copcland on the gods of Persia, Egpyt, etc. They were very interesting. Were tho Profs around when the stu. dents aro discussing various topics in German, surely none of them would say that we cannot think German, as one of the Profs desired his class to do a few days ago. Wo are pleased to have tho students visit our ofllco, but would much prefer that they would not read our copy or set jip matter as it is rather unpleasant to have our news told all around before our paper is issued. We wcro surprised on looking over tho stock of goods kept by Jacobs Bros. & Oakley, and at tho extreme low prices at which they hold their goods, and think it fwill pay every one to give them a call be ore purchasing. (tf.) Tho lecture of B. F. Taylor lias been put off until somo timo next torm; wo be. liovo that it is until February. Tho stu dents should endeavor to be present at this lecture as he has a very good reputa tion as a lecturer. Those students who love good things to eat were in thcro glory during tho last days of school, as the tables of their land ladies wcro heaped with choice edibles. Surely that is a temptation to return to your old boarding house. There is some talk of having singing in the chapel next term. Wo hope it will be so, as it will add much more interest to chapel, and among the young ladies wo have seme very good singers. It is possiblo, there will bo a regular class in singing next torm. During tho last days of this term, somo of tho students wcro bent on seeing uomo of the sights around town, and we heard that somo went down to the Pcni. tentiary. Remember boys that tho Luna tic Asylum is very closo to the prison. "A word to tho wise is sufficient." There is a certain Fresh horo, that seoms to be picked on by all his friends. A few evenings ago ho was calling on a young lady when ono of his friends called him out, telling him ho desired to ace him, ho told tho young lady that ho would bo back in a few minutes j sho waited an hour or so, but no Freshman returned. Ho was locked up in a room where his friends'; were using him as a target on which to practlcc-tho manly art of boxing. Tho old students were very much pleased to watch tho anxious faces of tho now students, when tho classes were rend out in chapel on tho last day of school. It is not tho most pleasant thing in tho world to hear the Chancellor say "AH passed, except ". Ono of tho Sophs was heard singing "A rare old plant is the ivy green " when he was interrupted by his companion who remarked, "Ivy is like woman the closer it clings to you the more you aro ruined." It is almost needless to add that tho latter student had in ids pocket a "previous en gagement" from one of our fair students. The comical "Eli Perkins" did not arrive in Lincoln until after tho term had closed, so many missed his Saratoga lec ture. When ho was at Nebraska City it was a conundrum whether ho should ad. dress his audience from tho Iowa side or not, as the river was full of ice; tho peo ple in Iowa wouldn't let him speak there and so ho camo across. Mr. Manning, whoso advertisement appears in this issuo of our paper, wo cheerfully recommend to any of tho stu dents, who may have any painting to do. Ho is a first class workman, and we feel justified in saying that his work always gives satisfaction, and he is just tho per. sou the students want to employ if they have any painting in their society halls, that they wish to have done in tho best of style. Our Fresh has again mado himself conspicuous, and again a young lady is connected with the transaction. Tlo had engaged the company of a young lady to go to church on Sunday evening, and his friends induced him to go into a claim's room a few minutes before church. Poor boyl Ho soon found himself locked in, and the key broken off in the door; how ever, wo saw him come into church a short timo after it had commenced, hav ing escaped from his prison by some means unknown to his nearest friend. At the closo of tho term tho Regents hold a meeting and the following mem bers of tho Board answered to their names : Col. C. S. Chase, Col. J. W. Savage, J. B. Maxwell, Uriah Brunei", F. II. Longloy, W. D. Scott, Wm. Adair, Chancellor A. R. Benton, Gov. Furnas, J. M. MoKonzio, .Tno. L. McConnoll, Treasurer, and II. T. Davis, Secretary. As Regent Dungan had left the State, he sent in his resignation, which was accepted. Chancellor Benton made a motion that, hereafter all funds derived as matriculation fees from students in the Agricultural College bo expended for tho purchase of books for a library for tho Agricultural Farm, which was car ried. A vote of thanks was tendered tho citizens of Lincoln for tho planting of two rows of trees around tho campus at their own expense. At tho second meet ing a number of reports wcro mado, and the timo was principally taken up with tho discussion of the Agricultural Farm. Tho following resolution was offered by Regent Scott and adopted: That it shall bo required of all students graduating in tho Agricultural Department of tho Uni versity, that they shall havo a practical knowledge of agriculture.
