J26 Our College Nana. J II II --The military class is becoming a prominent feature of our school now, and for a solid hour every afternoon, several squads of raw recruits tramp, tramp over the campus, inspired with all the military glory of an eutire regiment. Through tliu generosity of A. "NY. Field and V, A. McAllister, ox-editors of tiic Stuokxt, we liave been able to procure some new type. The olllce is now sup. plied with all the necessary type for issu ing a tlrstclass paper. Ye return thanks Iving & Gulick, bakers and dealers in groceries endeavor to keep on hand the very bust in their line. Those desiring to purchase would do well to give them a call and experience the universal satisfantion which othero have. Find them on 1' St., north side of square. The Omalui High School comes to us with a reply in regard to our remarks in the last issue. No, Sir, we slur no man, but "give the devil his due." When an editor writes of something he'knows noih. ing about and publishes a balch of false hoods, its high time for remarks, and then its highly xtnprofeanionul! The faculty have been hard at work the last month, upon the new catalogue, which will be out soon. No catalogue was issued last year, consequently a great deal of work was left lor the new Chan, col lor, who, witli his other work, has had his hands more than full. The sludciMs seem anxious to know when the catalogue will be out, and to the anxious ones we .vould say, this month. Job might huvc bad patience, and could stand the kick of a mule without getting mad. But he never had a printer's devil, while he was pondering over some great question of the day, dance around him a demoniac can-can, while with fiend, ish grin and grimmy face, he hissed from his ink-stained lips the maddening words, "More copy!" If Job bad had this to go through, he would have lost his repu ation for patience, and the world would tave been robbed of another hero. Under the able management of Miss Ilawley and .Mr. Piatt, the Library is one of the prominent fu.itures of the Universi ty. But there is one tiling, while speak, ing of the Library, that we dislike to see, and that is, marking on margins of the pages. It has become quite customary, and should be stopped. It not only dis plays poor taste, spoils the book, annoys t ho careful and attentive reader, but proves the autlrr of thu note, in many cases, a narrow minded individual. So keep your notes to yourself, and merit the re. sped of all. The University Union is now in good working order. On October 127, a highly interesting programme was presented. Messrs. Magoon, L'imbcrton and Hall proved themselves good essayists by ad-, mirable productions. The debate was handled in a creditable manner by Messrs. Kiddle, Fitch, Klale and Cox. Mr. Easterday entertained the society a few moments with an oration in which ho re viewed the past of our country's history. Music was furnished by MissClme. Thu whole was indeed a very enjoyable affair. These entertainments are held every Fri. day evening. All friends are invited to attend. Hem in Acquiuimo Knowledge. In acquiring a knowledge of the English Language, mid especially learning the meaning of words, probably no other work, nor many other books altogether, can all'ord so much aid as AYobster's Unabridged Dictionary, with ilsilOOO Pic torial Illustrations, its piecise and full definitions, its careful discriminations of synonymous words, and its many valuable tables. It is, in itself, a whole libraiy of the language. Let one family have a copy of this work, and use it faithfully, and another bo without it, the difference in the progress of Uio two families in getting knowledge will be very great. We scad this number of the Student to our friends, who we think will sub scribe. "We think we can justly claim 7a A vl
