Marlowe has this kiss in mind when la-

We cannot help but think that it was
a ease of forgetfulness to leave that bot
tle of vinegar on the door-step of that
young ludy. Surely the student who did
that job must- have been us bad as the
man -who forgot he had a wife.

old student he would never have been
so foolish as to have had only one cigar
when he met that Prof.
He could not stay always, but as his
name was hurt, his prospects for the fu
ture were ruined, and as his girl raised a
row, he packed his collar-box and went
home to his maternal relative, where the
wicked cease from troubling and the good
little boys dont need to hunt up a Police
Judge with whom to advise.

As the time for examination ap
proached a Sub-Fresh asked us what was
the meaning of the term "Plucking;" wo
have found the following explanation:
"When the degrees are conferred at Ox
ford, the name of each person Is read out
before he is presented to the Vice Chan
cellor. Tho proctor then walks up and
down the room, so that any person who
objects to the degree being granted may
signify the same by pulling or"plucking"
the proctor's robes. This has occasional
ly been done by tradesmen, in order to
obtain payment of their 'little bills,' but
fliicb a nroceedimr is very rare, and the
proctor's promenade 'is usually und is
turbed.
On the lflth of the present month, we
were painfully surprised at the announce
ment of the sudden death of our friend,
Otho Scott. He was suddenly taken ill
on Wednesday, and at 4 A. M. on Friday
breathed his labt. Otho entered our Uni
versity in the fall term of 1 873, and en
joyed the respect of all who knew him.
He was aged 18 years and 10 months.
His patents reside near Weeping Water,
in Cass county, and owing to the time of
the trains were unable to get here; how
ever, the students showed him every at
tention possible Prof. Bailey accom
panied the body down to Plattsmouth
where it was taken in charge by his rela
lives and friends, and taken to Glenwood,
his old home, and buried beside his father
and two brothers. On Friday evening,
the 19th, the Palladian Literary Society,
which Otho joined when he first entered
the University, in respect to the memory
of their deceased brother, adjourned al
ter reading the minutes of the previous
meeting and the passage of the following
resolutions:
Wiikueas, Otho Scott has been re
moved from our midst, and wc, his socie
ty associates, would express our estimate
of his character as a student and friend.
Therefore, be it
Jiesolced, That in the sudden death of
Otho Scott, the Palladian Literary Socie

assigned him with an integrity worthy the

Renolced, That there arc private sorrows
which attuid the rending of near and
tender ties, upon which it is not ourprov

to assure them of our warmest sympathy
in this their atlliction.

A committee appointed by the students
passed the following resolutions:

our number.
