Careful ml. vcrtisers should make a note of this. It might be well to make ihe new cir. cular itself an elective and employ a professor to teach it. The diiliculty would bo to find the professor. The rumor that George Hitchcock was " all broke up " by a railroad accident, down east proves to bo a canard, gotten up by a bold rival. George is still able to attend Methodist Church. Charlie Pierce "withdrew" for the sake of harmony in his society. This is soiucthiug very few members could think of doing, and Mr. Pierce's otiquette in the matter is laudable In -the highest do giee. Myron Wheelcr.IIenry Ncwnuni.Hillard Hickok and Walter Davis are ushers at the Opera House. Their gentlemanly deportment and pleasant courtesies call forth much praise from visitors to that temple of the drama. The Palladians arc discusssng a propo. sitiou to hold thou literary conclaves on Saturday evenings after this. By the new course recitations are had on Saturday and and this necessitates, for many, the use of Friday evening lor study. In order to catch Messrs. J. B. Triokey & Co. (our popular jewolors) for an ad. vertisomont, wo would suggest .that our students making purchases of these esti mablo gentlemen, to gently intimate the fact that they are students. The prize flag, won by our battalion at the Lincoln Fourth of July celebration, iu competition with the Vork militia company, is now in the University armory.

"Glycerium gly eerhic, muliera mule. Good name for a undo; ought to have had 'nitro' prefixed though; wonder how they bring the mule in." On the door of " Modern Languages," the morning after the President's death, was a card announcing that there would be no recitations. Beneath it one of tho more advanced German scholars, who hap pened to know hov to spell the word, " Gut," and a French scholar " Bien." Tremendous linguists, they. During llio summer four of our stu dents were lost to us, and saddest to re late, two of them by drowning. Miss Minnie Williams perished in Salt Creek and Mi. A. C. Brown was accidentally drowned while bathing near Tocumseh Mr. Frank B. Hall was taken away in September by consumption, and Miss Nellie West in July by typhoid fovor. All those were bright members of our coniinu nity, whom wo most sorely miss. Those three rules have just boon laid down by tho Faculty: Substitution of studies shall be on the basis of year for year and fraction of year for fraction of your. Any student who has completed the equivalent of any year or years shall, in the next catalogue, bo ranked in the next year ubovo. Ropuired studies not tukon must bo niado up instcud of elcc. tives. College was closed on Monday last in honor of Garfield's funeral. Lieutenant Webster had charge of tho procession to the Opera House and at tho hoad wore cudts to' the number of sixty who up. pearcd well although for tho first timo under arms, half being " recruits." Tho college band also shared honors with the city band, with whom they compared favorably. Tho cadot colors wore seen caught up with crape. Tho University did not a little toward making the mem. orial exciclses complete. Tho Univer sity, in truth, is usually a prominent and acceptable factor in public celebrations. Some practical diflloultics have arisen in putting tho revised course into oper. ation. Freshmen cannot find any four hour elective and arc obliged to go im0 the Sophomore yuar. As there are no eleclives in ihe classical course available for scientific and literary students, and as there are no three-hour elcctivesin thesci entitle course, literary students find it ul most impossible to elect tho required num. ber. Nothing denotes refinement more than propriety in dress. To young gentlemen who want fashionable and neatly gotten up clothing, we recommend our popular clothier S.Schwab. He excels by far, this full, in stylish and nobby suits as well as in winter outfits; his prices arc the lowest in the city. Those of our .Pad. crs who Imvo to dress tho rising gonera. uon, wo advise to look at his boys' and children's clothing. His stock is erinnt large, and cheap. A. very well attended contest was hold last week at the Opera House between the pupils of Prof. Chamberlain's classes in elocution from Crete. Phutsmm.ii, ,i Lincoln. Tho University was represented ana two ot our students carried off prizes Miss Minnie Lett and Mr. Dan Wheeler. Considerable dissatisfaction was express, ed by tiie audience in regard to thedecis. ion of tho judges, and it was amusing to see how people differed iu their estimates of respective merit. New Prep, girl: "Oh, see that horrid bkeleton in Prof. Thompson's room!" Teasing brother: "Yes. vou'll iinvn to take that apart and nut it totrethor nmiin It's a part of your study. Nice work. Only been dead about a month, so there's some Interest in it." Consternation and horror on the part of the little Prep. girl. Puzzled Fresh, (picking out his studios,) "What do theso x's and o's mean in the time table, anyway?" Wise Senior: "Why, stands for'opta. tive,' I suppose, but x x " Fresh, (with a gloain of hope,) "Oh, I guess x must bo 'oxective.' " Mutual admiration of each for the other. Junior Physics. Excited student, (aftor racking his brains for an hour on the "boat problem "): " Lot's see; If A was in tho immovable shore and the post was in tho . boat, no, if tho ';oat was on the shore and B was an immovable post, thou tho shore, oh, thundor, no; If the shore was in the boat and both A and B were HBPynfl
