Stebbins delivered a lecture, in the University Chapol, under tho auspices of the Ladies' Litorary Union. His sub jeet was "Scientific and Industrial Educa tlon." Mr. Stebbins was introduced to tho miilicncc byMlss.Jonnnlc Field, president "I' tin Sm-lHy, ly .1 Vu neat and appro prlate remarks. The lecturer commended our school system, as being in many re spects superior to Unit of our neighbors "over the water." Bui at the sumo timo he thought that In many important partic ulars, wo were far behind them , we had loo much theory in our educational Insti tutions, and did not have any that were thorough enough, In any ono branch, Tho lecture was interesting tluoughoul, and the verdict of all was that they had spent an hour and a half very profitably. Financially, wo understand, the. lecture was also a success, which speaks well for the energy of tho ladies, who took hold of it in earnest. Recitation in Political Economy. Chancellor "How many docs it take to make a bargain i" Senior "It takes two." Chancellor "It requires two to make a bargain, does it?" 2d Senior (Whose manner shows that he has had some experience with the old lady on the subject) "I think it takes more than two sometimes." Chancellor (in tho Logic class) Mr. , if I define cow as a ruminant quad- ruped,do I violalolho rules of rhetoric? Student: Yes sir, for the cow Is not the only ruminant quadruped. Student No, 2 (who is noted for his use of high-sounding words): Chancellor, a ruminant means anything that produces lactoul fluid, does it not? The Chancellor, overcome by his emo tions, silently pointed to Webster's Unabridged. The following is the way tne Preps do business: Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 24, '70. Miss G. M.

Benign Sir: Tho Literal meaning of your billet be ing man' R&t to me, an acceptance w-itli immense gratification is tho conclusion. With condecension, G. M. One of tho students received tho fol lowing card, being his first experience in Leap Year inxitations. Ho showed it lo us under strict promise of secrecy, and asked our advice. We advised him to let her "sit." "Between ourselves, gentle sir, may I have tho pleasure of seeing you homo this evening? If so, keep this card; if not, pleaso return it to Miss L. S. ' If I cant see you homo, may I sit on the 'ragged edge of a fence and see you pass?" The "college news" of the IIksi'ISHUN Studbnt, each month, is decidedly "gush in" in character. Wo advise tho man who wrote 'em to get married a little and settle down some and then ho could look at a woman without going oil In a paragraph ic gush. Ho would bo able to write upon some other subject tlian tho "bullet.," and the "gurrels." A dissertation on an old hen, or three legged stools, might vary the present long continued raphsodles, to the benefit of gushlngless readers. The above wo clipped from tho local columns of the State Journal, and think a part of the advice is excellent. But tho Lord keep m from any one who would have us wnto of three-legged stools. And, Mr. Local, it is said that "women and wino rule tho world." Wo ilont And any fault with you for occupying so much of your space with the latter- oveiy ono hi- tusle, you know. to The other morning tho class in Craik's English of Shakespeare had that well known exercise, "Many a time and oft, have you climbed up, to walls and battlements, to tower and window, yea to chimney tops, etc." When It was read the Chan cellor linked a learned Junior what llgure of speech It was, and before the Junior could bring ills ponderous brain to bear on the subject, an enthusiastic Senior, with his acute countenance luxuriating in self complacency, vehemently roared out, "It's i'. pleonasm." At a special meeting of the Hesperian Student Publishing Association, held on tho Mtli r Dec, l87o, the following offl. cers were elected for the ensuing year: Clarence Rhodes, Pros. Cora Thomas, Vice Pies. A. W. Field, Editor-in-chief. W. A. McAllister, Local Editor. J. L. Shank, Assistant Editor. J. F. Cornell, Treasurer. W. P. Rhodes, Secretary. At a meeting of the Hoard of Managers, held on tho Otli of Jan., 1870, Wayland Bailey wa elected Business Manager. The new Hoard of Regents held their llrta meeting Jan 0th, and drew lots, as di rected by the new Constitution, which re suited in Regents Adair and Fitleld draw ing the six year terms, Tattle and Gannett the four year terms, and Holmes and Mob ley the two year terms. The various stand, ing committees were appointed, as also a special committee to draft resolutions of respect in memory of the late Regent J. M. Hungerford. The board passed a res olution that the hedge be removed from around the dormitory on the Agricultural farm, and the grounds be beautified as much as possible. A resolution was also passed that the fees paid by the members of the Chemistry class be expended for the benefit of the class. The election of a Chan cellor was called up. There were several applicants, anil the Hoard took the matter under advisement, until their next meet ing, which is on the 24th of March. Tho committee appointed to draft resolutions on the death of Regent Hungerford sib mitted the following: "The Hoard of Regents of the Univcr sity of Nebraska, desire to place on record this tribute and memorial to the ability, services and character of Hon. E. M. Hun gerford, late member of this Hoard. The University of which ho was an efll cient oillcer, and the State of which he was an honored citizen, have each by his deatli suffered an irreparable loss ; and his associates of the Hoard of Regents, a per sonal bereavement. That ho brought to the discharge of every duty most pains-taking care, inde pendence ami zeal, his wide-spread honor throughout the State attests. That he was honored and respected iiiiniio-iinnt this State bv all who knew him, for his fidelity to duty, his energy, and his ability, must bo a source of com fort to his widowed mother and other kin died in this their time of greatest bereave- ment. And this Hoard hereby tenders to thorn and all others thus sorrowing for his loss, their fullest sympathy. S. J. Tuttlk. C. A. Holm us. Wm. Arum. Board adjourned until tho 24th of March. Palladia Society. Tho first meeting for this term was hold on the 7th inst. The Society was called to order by How ard Caldwell, ex-president, who called E. P. Holms, president-elect, to tho chair. Mr. Holmes delivered a short address, which was full of excellent thought, and was well delivered. He reviewed the past history of the society and spoke of its fil iate prospects. Tho first thing on the programme was instrumental music, by Willie llolunann, who understands tin ait of bringing sweet sounds out of the or gan. Next was a declamation by Mr. Unangst, which was well delivered, and' Mr. Unangst bids fair to be one of tho best declaimers in the society. Mr. Sam English followed with ono of his humor ous essays, which never fail to bring down tho house. Mr. Bonner followed with a declamation, which lie delivered in a lino style. Next was an essay by Mr. Snoll which was well written and full of fine thought. Mr. Illnton followed with one of his humorous declamations, and there is no one in tho societj' can render a humorous piece with as much success as Mr. llinton. J. C. F. McICosson then read an essay which did him great credit. It was one of the best we have hoard for a longtime. The last in the class was Mr. Hancock, who delivered an oration. Ho delivered it in a very earnest style, and it was easy lo see thai he was in earnest, and understood his subject. Tho oration will bo found In this number of the Studhnt. .Miss Barker favored the society with somo very fine music. Next in order was tho deb tie. The question was, "Would it bo fo'. the benefit of the country, to furnish dd to the Southern Pacific R. It." McAl lister, alllrmative; Field, negative. As they are both very modest, we will not say anything about the debate; only that the audience appeared well satisfied. Tho performers were all volunteers, and judg ing from the rapidity with which the va rious classes were filled, we should say the members mean business; and we predict this will be one of the most successful terms in society work since the University oponed.
