V,' f l'J M . n 800 students this term. All seem satisfied with the now dispensation. Sopliomores beware ! The Freshmen have organized . "We don't have any dcadhond3 in the Palladinn" Jno. fBrydcn on "Union buatt." The telephone has been moved to room 21, second floor .and on dit that the janitor sits up nights to watch over it. Can you discover who is the host orator in the Palladi. tans. les. if you Chase for him. A witty Soph, saya that to take a miss is to make a mis take and that he don't like to study galvanism. Wc tit ink he is too boystcrous. The Y. M. C. A. Bible class taught by Prof. Hitchcock will meet each Sunday at 0:3o a. m. in room No. 5. All are invited to attend. A Soph, co-ed, when asked if she studied Physics, re plied with a look of horror ;"No I I don't believe in it. I am a Homeopathist." The first meeting of the Bible class was well attended by the young men. Co-education in this department would not be objectionable. Prof. Thompson has been assigned the room formerly occupied by Prof. Woodborry. His private cabinet of anatomical models is to be placed here. Several of the students are engaged in teaching a short distance from the city. Wo are sorry that they arc absent from school, but glad that they are not too far away to at end society. It is quite afi'ecting to see a first prep trying to carry five water melons in his arms at the same time. Also to see a Junior bringing out his first co-ed. Similar phe nomena occur.

We wish to slate for the benefit of the new students that the number 1870 on tne University is not tne number of the street, but is the date of a very important event in its history. This may preveu. a great deal of embarassment in future. There arc certain students who are very fond of airing their talents. Such are generally superficial. True great ness is always modest. Those persons, therefore, who make an exhibition of their greatness usually show all that they possess. Mr. Olmsted of '82 is departed for Wyoming and will be engaged during the year in teaching the young idea how to shoot. The boys in Wyoming need no instruction in that departmen'. They will pick it up soon enough of their own accord. We quarantine infectious diseases. When n man is found to have the small-pox or yellow fever he is exclu ded from his fellow mc.i and guarded, with the utmost vig ilance that the infection may not spread' but the viscious young man is allowed to roam at large through our pub lie schools corrupting his associates by his poisonous in fiuence and sowing the seeds of moral diseases more ma iis.t,unt tliKii nnvv For the last six months the Union bulletin board out. shono anything on the first floor, but the Palladians at last come up smiling with a board which, as they declare, "yanks the bun." The decoration is the work of Miss Emma Richardson. Wo hope that new as well as old students will take hold with a will and make the University Athletic Association what it should be. If this organization flourishes tho Student expects to see a well equipped gymnasium beforo the sun sets on tho college year. Both societies are to make costly additio is to their hall furnishisngs during the year. Pal lad inn Hall is to be beautified by a magnificent crystal chandelier, while tho Unions will replace their old carpet with a new one costing enough to bankrupt a Fitzgerald. The first meeting of the Palladians was quite encourag lug. The performances were good and a large number of namesofthe very best material among the new students were, proposed for membership. The Palladinn Is rec ognized as the place to advance literary work. It is hoped that the Juniors will continue their social meetings. These meetings have continued too long and have been productive of too much enjoyment to be dis pensed with now. It would be advisable for the Fresh man and Sophomore classes also to form similar organi zations. Ye compositor of the Studunt office was vcry'glad to welcome E. E. Spencer a classmate of his at Donne last Saturday. Spencer is the Business Manager of tho Bonne Owl this year and we will warrant he is a good one. Wo hope to hear from Diianc with reference to the Slate Ora torical Association. Prof. Draper, the new teacher in the Conservatory of Music is a careful and painstaking instructor and proves a valuable acquisition to the. music corps. The classes un dcr his direction are fast becoming enrapt with their studies and'new members are being daily enrolled for the Conservatory curriculum. A second prep co-ed who is beginning Gorman and who is also a Latin student on being asked how slio liked the young German tutor, desiring to display her classic lore replied ;"Vicissim by turns." The reader must observe that according to tho present method of pronouncing Lat in v lias the sound of w and c of k. The time the boys were allowed to make the recitation room a gymnasium, or the girls to play foot. bull with pie ces of coal, in the halls has gone, and we hope that every student will earnestly cooperate with the professors in thier attempt to secure order, without which peifect suc cess is a paradox and an impossibility. That the University is steadily growing is shown by the increase in tho number of occupied rooms. Two years ago half a dozen rooms on the three main floors were vacant To day all are occupied and the work of fitting up the basement commenced. Two years hence new buildings will be absolutely necessary. The Palladinn Debating Club holds breezy meetings on Saturday evening of each week. The boys seem deter mined to make this organization the means of acquiring thorough drill in debate and "ofl'-hand" speaking. In order that the deliberation of the club may bo unre strained, non-members of the society will be excluded except in special instances. ,1
