Frank Parks lias proem ed u pair of
foils and masks and now every student

The friends in the University of Miss
Phrebo Wcstover will be surprised lo
loam that she has suddenly become
Small. The operation was performed by
the Rev. Mr. Cadwallader, and the happy
man is Mr. G. F. Small of Yankee Hill.
The Student wishes Mr. and Mrs. Small
the full realization of their fonder desires.
We dropped in the oilier evening to
have a little chat with Dan Wheeler and
(Jlcm Chase, and weie very much struck
wilh the appearance of their room. We
don't remember of having seen so finely
a decorated room in a long time. The
walls are eoveied wilh boxing gloves,
foils, masks, canes, pictures, brackets, etc.
arranged so as to produce a neat and ar.
tistic cflecl. A good many bright thoughts
ought to be generated among such pleas
ant surroundings.
Last Friday evening the Palhulians
elected their ollicors for next term. The
Palhulians are all politicians and their
elections are worth seeing. After a spir
ited contest, the following officers were
declared elected. President, . I. II Silver
nail; Vice President, Geo, McLean; Rcc.
Secretary, D. II. Wheeler, jr.; Cor. Secre
tary, Magi.ie .Million; Critic, ,1. C. F, Mc
Kesson; Treasurer, E P Unangst ; Ohois
ter, Geo. Hartman ; Historian, R. R. Davis;
Usher, D. II. Mercer.
The Palhulians have purchased a
very handsome grand, upright Emerson
piano, and thus one of the Society's bright
dreams has been realized. With this ad
dition the Palladian Hall presents a very
attractive appearance and we doubt if
there is anothe'r so tine a room devoted to
a hue purpose in (he State. The Society
is under great obligation to Mr. Prescott,
the state agent for the Emerson piano,
for the large reduction made in the price
of the instrument, the Society securing il
for its exact cost.
The Tattler, a weekly paper edited by
one of the literary societies, has become
quite a feature of literary ability, the wil,
sarcasm, and vituperation, that it con
tains, has become a terrible weapon in
the journalistic field. The high, the low,
the great and the small, it assails alike
Even before the stern visage of the editor,
of the Student it remains undaunted Rui
buries upon them its sharp missels with
out respect to size, age, color, goodness,
beauty, or sex. We hereby give notice
that unless it reforms inunediatly, it shall
receive a challenge for a duel or as the
earliest date possible, a notice of libel suit
for damages.
The soiree given by Miss Rogers and
her pupils at the Palladia!) hall, was a
very pleasant and well attended affair.
The pupils showed evidences of careful
training and practice. The selections
were good and as a rule excellently ren
dered. The chorus by the class was very
line, as was the singing by Misses Cora
Doolittle and Tillie Funk. The instru
mental pieces by Miss Sessions and Mr.
Stetson were good, ami Miss Sessions by
her delicate and sympathetic touch
showed herself a skillful pianist. Miss
Rogers sang several selections wilh her
usual grace and skill. Altogether it whs
a very pleasant affair, and we hope it may
bo repeated at no very distant day-
It was a Junior who had worked him
self to a fever heat over the last Student
election. The night before that even!
ctmo off, he dreamed that the new cata
logue had just come out. The Sophs,
Freshies and Preps, were classified as
they usually are, but the Seniors and Jun
iors were divided into two classes on the
basis of their deportment. The first divis.
ion or the "good ones" were designated
as "Univcrsitophili," but in it were
found only thy names of our patiiairhnl
Senior and two ladies whom our distinct-
