MT-''"-'i-'-" vj NO. !, I.OCAI. Nnwe. rm Prof. Stndtor lins Conned a skotr.li rlub which the moinhcrs say is ploasant and profitable. ProC. Church. returned 'from Europe in time to take charqc oC examinations in li is department. The correct thing for Holidays, whist and dinner parties, will ho the Vanity Fair Cigarettes, with your monogram. Prof. Cnlbortson will bo absent from the University next term, holding Far. aicrs' Institutes in various parts ol the state. Many of the students were elected to second terms in sonic studios and now earnestly advocate an irrevocable one term policy. Wo hoar some talk of an amateur dramatic association. We hope such an organization may bo formed, for wo have considerable talent in the University which might be used to good advantage. The Chancellor spent the first week of vacation at Gibbon, Neb., and lectured every evening except one. Prof. Collier took his place the second week. Vacation means only iucreascd exertions for such as they. The Sophmorc class have for their motto " Labora Ante Mcrcedom" One of the young ladies translates it "Anything Before Labor" which under existing cir. cumstances, wo deem a very appropriate rendering. The Regents at their last meeting, ro taincd the services of Tutor Howard for the department of English Literature and History, for the remainder of the year, at which time thoy will probably give him a professorship. When the Exchanges were brougt into the oflice, a "hunok" of gum was ol. served to bo attached to one of them. We have reserved the same for our Exchange editor, and trust that this temporary do privation has not been fraught with disas trous results. Every student in Prof. Hitchcock's classes passed at this examination. How many other colleges can say as much for their mathematical department? The Chancellor has received more than 200 letters asking for information re garding the Ladies' Hall now In process of erection. When opened it is expected that the additional advantages it will of fer students will largely increase the at tendance at the University. Wo have received a very pleasant call from Miss Anna Shuokman, and initiated her into the mysteries of tho Black Art; showed her tho "type lice," and how to niako a u pi," introduced her to the " dov. il," and set up a line of original poetry in " em quads," etc. Any other young lady, wishing to indulge in these little diver sions, can be accommodated by calling at the ollico between the periods 10 and 11: 4.1, at which time the Local Editor is at liberty. Miss Rogers perpetrated a pretty good one at the soiree the other evening. Hearing some whispering as she sat down to play, she remarked, that she " heard strange whispers in the air, but ns they were probably peculiarities of the Palla dian Hall acoustics, 1 suppose I ought not to complain." We suggest that the whisperings might have been the first signs of animation made by the dead things in the Museum which Iter singing had awakened. JJy a reference to the abstract columns of the present issue, it will be seen that an innovation has been introduced in tho shape of a "Symposium," which is an ar ticle in several sections, by as many differ ent contributors, tho object being to se cure a diversity of opinion and hence a. fuller discussion of the subject treated of An article of this kind, if pains are taken in its preparation, may be made very in teresting and profitable. At any rate, let us have more variety in the contents of this department of the Student. . iWlTOgjJi Kjfln
