them to respect.

On the ovouing of tho 20th inst, Mr.
Uilcs H. Stebbins delivered a lecture, in
the University Chapol, under tho auspices
of the Ladies' Litorary Union. His sub

our school system, as being in many re

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.

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

The "college news" of the IIksi'ISHUN

some other subject tlian tho "bullet.," and
the "gurrels." A dissertation on an old
hen, or three legged stools, might vary 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

have us wnto of three-legged stools. And,

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 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.

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.
