Students at Rutgers ask for a shorter

cesses. Two new students this term. -Illinois
College Rambler,
Egad, what a boom!
The maudlin ravings of the Lincoln
Democrat over the recent decided change
in University affairs arc very edifying
indeed. The communist in charge of
that sheet should have been sent to the
insane asylum years ago.
The second number of Doane Owl for
tho year is on our table. The local de
partment seems to bo neglected, and the
literary articles too artificial. Otherwise
even "we" could not improve it much.
The local of the Central Collegian pays
too much attention to his own dear self
ar.d tho charmers in a neighboring scm
inary. "Girls" and "ye local" will do to
write about once in a long while, but as
a regular thing become tiresome.
Wo grant that the Bates Student is a
good magazine. It also has a good bit of
cast-iron cheek and enough self esteem
for all practical purposes. It may bo in
good taste for a paper to copy two or
three columns of favorable notices of
itself, but there are people who think dif
ferenlly. Tho Berkeley an, California University
appears with a few improvements and
suggestions of more to follow. Typo
graphically this paper is a success, and its
whole make-up shows an originality very
creditable to its managers. It arrays
itself with the students and against the
Faculty in a decided manner.
Harvard dedicates the following to the
vanquished Yale Freshman base ball nine :
" Fumble, fumble little nine.
Muff tho balls along the line,
'Way up In tho nlr bo fav,
How yon wonder what they arc
Kumble grounders, mntr tho fly,
On tho diamond, In tho sky."
This is the way a Vassar girl tells a
joke: "Oh, girls, I heard just the best
thing to-day. It was too funny. I can't
remember how it came about, but one of
the girls said to Prof Mitchell oh dear,
I can't remember what she said, but Prof.
Mitchell's answer was just to funny for
any use; I forgot just exactly what he
said, but it was too good for anything."
The following wail is from the Univer
sity of California. Wo have "been there,"
and know how to sympathize. "The
Occident, of course, wishes to get articles
from the students. That is a thing that
every college paper sighs for and gen.
orally sighs for in vain. The student is
the hardest person in tho world to stir up
on such a subject. College editors with
out number have tried it and failed most
dismally."
The Collegian and Neoterian is not
pleased with the Student, and the Stu
dent is happy to state that the dislike is
mutual. The abundance of locals and
the discussion of live topics which crowd
out old orations and essays from this
paper, are in accordance with our ideas
of what a college paper should be. The
old fossil from Wisconsin evidently has a
different ideal, for it is composed almost
entirely ol literary (?) matter and clip,
pings.

This is tho chair on the chapel platform.
It is always occupied by the Chancellor.
It Iooks lonesome among so many chairs,
though the boys think there is a chanc
for a change before long. Have char-ity
upon them.

This is a text-book and a dictionary.
They are Greek. The Freshman begins
to turn over the leaves and swear. He'd
as leaves wear out the book as not. When
he thinks he has a Greek root he is re
ferred to another part of the dictionary
and it takes him ten minutes to find one
word. That makes him rue-it.

These are the " delicious bivalves " you
read about. When you bi-valves wink at
the waiter and ho will bring you only a
half stew, but if your girl finds it out you
will have a whole stew. The restaurant
is an inn.stcw-to.shun.

man because he likes whiskey.
