Sophs., the patronizing air of the Juniors,
and t lie ridiculous supreme Indifference of
the Seniors. But these failings arc the
nflirmitives of college life and must be
born with us as fur as possible.
"The elephant now goon round and round,"
The spicy critic said; -And
the mighty orator at th s-ound
Bent low his noble head,
And he thought nftliction nure enough,
Had overflown his cup,
When that dreadful girl wont on to pay.
That "Simon says Thumbs up.' "
Students are well aware of the fact
that a college paper is an essential feature
of college life, and adds greatly to the
popularity of the college; they arc also
aware of the fact that it requires a healthy
state of finances to sustain such an enter
prise, and when it devolves upon three
or four individuals to issue the paper, it
is no more than right that they should re
ceive support of the students in financial
as well as literary contributions. Patte

At the social the other evening a
young lady and gentleman were discus
sing Zoology, and the young lady said:
"Mollusks are the soft animals, ain't
they?" "Yes," said he. Then you'd pat
this (holding up an oyster on her spoon,)
among the Mollusks wouldn't you "
"No, I'd put it in my mouth if I had it."
" Well, that would be putting it in the
soft animals, wouldn't it?" And that
young man refrained from further re
marks during the entire evening.
We would suggest that inasmuch as
the file of the Studknt is full and com
plete now let measures be taken to have
the volumns bound, and placed in the li
braiy. The college paper is a valuable
record of the college liie which it reprc
seuts, and as such should be preserved.
If the Regents are unable to do this, we
deem it a very appiopriate thing for those
who constituted the editorial staff in time
past to have bound those copies which
they issued, and let it be the established
custom for each corps of editors to do
likewise. Now gentlemen let us hear
from you.
For the first few days of school it
was thought that many of our students
were addicted to drinking cgnogg, and
generally forgot to wipe it off their upper
lips, but as time rolled on apace, the
trouble revealed itself. During the long
vacation when sneering and mocking
fellows were too far away to notice their
coaxing cares; when they were safe in
the seclusion of some wild mountain fast
ness, where none but a few trusting friends
could mark the slow progress from day to
da, some of these rash youths summoned
the courage to raise a mustache. Lei us
have charity for them!
The Palladian social held Friday
evening Nov 7th, at the residence of
Chancellor Fairfield was a success both
socially and financially, as Palladian ef
forts always are. The evening was fine
and the knowledge that it was to be held
at Chan. Fairfield's was asuilicient guaran
tee that all would have a good lime and
consequently the spacious parlors were
filled with a brilliant assemblage of stu
dents, and Lincoln young ladies and
gentleman. Considerable excitement
was manifested during the voting for the
most popular young lady. After numer
ous complimentary votes for severul can
didatej the contest settled between Miv
Jessie Mason and Miss Belle Kimble
and for a time was warm indeed, and
when at last Miss Mason was declared
victor, it was not because the will failed
Miss Kimball's friends, but because not
expecting so hard a fight they had not
come prepared with sufficient amunition.
The proceeds of the evening will be in
vested in a piano. The society has great
cause for congratulation in their first at
tempt at money making and well do their
efforts deserve it.
