V- i krf V an inaccuracy for language, since tho ed itor cannot fail to bo aware thai, while in England itself one county cannot, under, atiuul another, there is no such tiling in America, from Atlantic to Pacific, from the Chill to "In; Lukes, as a dialect in any pioper sense of the word, This is more remarkable as the population of the slates is mado up of every nationality and every conceivable dialect and language is rep. resented in it. Yet every wheio English prevails and tmit this oneness of language is due to tho pros, and the widespread circulation of the newspaper cannot be denied. It is not in the nature of things thai classical English, like that of Haw thorne or DcQuinoy should be ground out of Unit "opinion mill," tho daily press. But upon the whole, newspaper English is grammatical, and if editors do oocas ionly take the liberty to coin words that would shock Richard Grant White it is no more than the best of scholars have done and tne good service that the press is do ing for the language far out balances tho harm done. The local column of tho Collegian nnd Nootcrinn is decidedly in sipid. We make our apologies to tho now pa. per started at Michogan Uuivorsitv, No. 1 Vol, 1 of which wo received at the begin, ning of tho year, for not responding to its request to exchange. If it will .please continue to send, it will find .the Student Iin the future a faithful and regular ex change. The Chronicle describing a scene in chapel at Michigan in times which lie says arc now happily past says: "Why, it is not so very long since they who cared to repeat the Lord's Prayer were obliged to watch and sometimes to light, while they piayed. A stray missle was liable at any time to linil its way into their neigh borhood. The chapel was frequently in an upr. ar during tho whole morning. The late arrival of a Freslnnaa or a Soph omore putnischief into a hundred loot, and brought as many canes l: the floor with a force that made the cliapol ring." Co-education and phonetic spelling are as ever tho favorite topics of discussion among the exchanges. West and East stand divided on the that. Tho West un ivcrsully advocating it: the East almost as universally opposing it. Tho Illini is still tho great champion of tins spoiling reform, though it does not, as formerly, print its editorials spelled in llio reformed way. gotute, W- College papers are (hiding their way into Germany. It is proposed to add a course in journ alisin to tlu' curriculum of Ann Aurbor. Tho .Juniors and Seniors of tho Univer sity of Minnesota are obliged to have pub lie rhetorioles every term.

Since the last number of llic Student was issued wo have had a bloodless rovo lution. The bovs indulged in nothing more dangerous than irony. Two Juniors are with llio Sophomores in the Calculus class. The Professor not expecting much from them, gives tho Juniors llio easiest examples, so thoy got along very well. Tho classes in Prof. Collier's depart ment have begun their work. The Pro fessor has returned and hopes to lie able logo right on with li is classes. His health is considerably improved. One of the prettiest and most substan tial dwelling houses now in process of erection in the city is situated on the cor Ujr of U and 12th sir. It belongs to Miss Eilen Smith, Asssstant principal of the Latin School. Wo recommend for the use of members of tho Literary societies, Snodgrass' "Pat ent Button holes," warranted to stand all pressure from without and to bite off the finger of every "bulldozer" that conies around.

"I shall have to decide it a tie." Some University boys wont to the No gro church last Sunday evening. When we asked what they learned, they replied that they had found out that the object of tho State Capitol was to fit tho innocent for the active pursuits ol life. Prof Hitchcock has been obliged to bo absent from some of li is recitations on no count of sickness. Prof. Hitchcock lias the well-earned reputation of being one of the most punctual instructors in tho Uni versity, so his absoueo has been partiou larly marked. Much conjecture has boon ha, nrded in regard to tho Into return homo last Sunday evening of a certain Soph. Any information respecting his wherea bouts will be joyfully received by a bevy of jealous l..ds at.d weeping lassies, No reward is oll'ered. A keen observer, having hoard tho sar- custic remarks of several Gorman students leveled at the head of the Professor, lias como to the conclusion that the study of tho Gorman language is not particularly conducive to the cultivation of tho organ of veneration to superiors. A certain Junior took two girls, to so ciety not long since. As a result he blis tored both W.a feel. Now this Junior is a logician. He reasons from analogy thus:' "Two girls, two blisters; one girl, one blister; no girl, no blister." Girls, you know what to expect. Tho late festival at the "Glrlalory" did not prove a financial success. Every en tertainmoni which lias boon held there litis mot with serious misfortune. We trust that tho young lady hoarders may not bo involved with llio ill luck which seems lo brood over their boarding hull. The Palladians have decided the great moral question now before tno American people. When put loa vote a few even ings since thirteen voted for a third term and thirty-eight against. Delegates to the Chicago Convention in Juno will please take notice and vote accordingly. The I'alladians have made arrange ments for their Commencement Exhibi tion. This is their programme: Orations, Miss Fairfield and Mr. Unangsl; Eulogy, Miss Jones; Delmtci Miss Smith and Mr. Silvernail; Invec tive, Mr. Montgomery ; Easily, Mr.Bich; Declamation, Miss Lola Williams. Tho University Union did not have a regular meeting llio lli&t Friday evening of the term, but tho members had a soci able. The Unions recognize the eminent truth that .-ooiiil as well as literary train ing deserves attention. Wo felicitate them on their meritorious efforts in tiiis direction It is amusing to listen to the sarcastic remarks which arc continually passing between the Juniors. The following is an example taken from life: Junior, "The word Sophomore moans a wise fool. Soph- omore. Then there is only this difference between you and me: I am a wise tool and you are tho biuuc minus the wisdom. Those who are to participate in tho Un ion exhibition are exerting themselves particularly to make llieir commencement exorcises a literary success. The follow ing will lie tlioir programme; Orations, Messrs. Snoll and Ilawloy; Debate, Miss Parker and Mr. Mallory; Essays, Miss Mattio Ilawloy and Mr. Hackney; Decla mation, Miss DoCou. Nothing tends more completely to de velop the character of tho average American youth than a circus. Ye Lo cal had to go lo report on any of llio Profs who might be boyishly inclined. One of tho Profs wont to see if any of tho students would bo so foolish as to go. That Prof and Ye Local are going to keep it a profound secret that they saw eacli other at such a place. Tho University Cadet Band is now or ganized and ready for business. Tho boys are now prepared to moot any en gagement from a dog-fight to a funeral. Professor Ilohmann, tlioir instructor , is laboring unceasingly to perfect them in tlioir enterprise. Tlioir oillcors are as fol lows: Loader, Will 0. Jones; Roc. Soc. Win. 0.
