plied with a look of horror ;uNo I I don'tbelievc in it. I
am a Homcopathist."
The first meeting of the Bible class was well attended
by the young men. Co-education in tiiis department
would not be objectionable.
Prof. Thompson has been assigned the room formerly

anatomical models is to be placed here.
Several of the students arc engaged in teaching a short
distance from the city. Wo arc soiry that they are absent

end society.
It is quite affecting to see a first prep trying to carry
live water melons in his arms at the same time. Also to
sec a Junior bringing out his first co-ed. Similar phc
uomena occur.

We wislt to state for the benefit of the new students thai
the number 1870 on tne University is not tnc number of
the street, but is the date of a very important event in its
history. This may prevent a great deal of embarassment
in future.
There are certain students who are very fond of airing
their talents. Such arc generally superficial. True great
ness is always modest. Thoso persons, therefore, who
make an exhibition of their greatness usually show all
that they possess.
Mr. Olmsted of '82 is departed lor Wyoming and will
be engaged during the year in teaching the young idea
how t shoot. The boys in Wyoming need no Instruction
in that department. They will pick It up soon enough of
their own accord.
We quarantine infectious diseases. When a man is
found to have the small-pox or yellow fever he is exclu
led from his fellow mo.) and guarded, with the utmost vlg.
ilance that the infection may not spread1 but the viscious
young man is allowed to roam at largo through our pub.
lie schools corrupting his associates by his poisonous in
fluence and sowing the seeds of moral diseases more ma.
lignantthan any.
For the last six months the Union bulletin board out.
shono anything on the first floor, but tho Pal I ad tans at
last come up smiling with a board which, as they declare,
"yanks the bun." The decoration is the work of Miss
Emma Richardson.
We hope that new as well as old students will take hold
with a will and make tho University Athletic Association
what it should be. If this organization flourishes the
Student expects to sec a well equipped gymnasium before
the sun sets on the college year.
Both societies are to make costly additio is to their hall
furnishlstigs during the year. Palladian Hall Is to bo
beautified by a magnificent crystal chandelier, while the
Unions will replace their old carpet with a new one
costing enough to bankrupt a Fitzgerald.
The first meellug of the Palladlans was quite encourag.
lug. Tho performances were good and a large number of
names of the very best material among tho new students
were proposed for membership. The Palladian is rcc.
oguized 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 bo dis.
pensed with now. It would be advisable for tho Fresh,
man and Sophomore classes also to form similar organ!,
zniions.
Yo compositor of the Student office was vcry)glad
to welcome E. E. Spencer a clussmatu of his at Doane last
Saturday. Spencer is the Business Manager of the Donne
Owl this year and we will warrant he is a good one. We
hope to hear from Doane with reference to the State 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 tho music corps. Tho classes un.
der Ills direction arc fast becoming enrapt with their
studies and'new members arc being daily enrolled for the
Conservatory curriculum.
A second prep co-ed who is beginning German and who
is also a Latin student on being asked how she liked the
young German tutor, desiring to display her classic lore
replied ;"Vici9sim by turns." The reader must observe
that according to tho present method of pronouncing Lat
in v has the sound of w and c of k.
The time tho boys wcro allowed to make the recitation
room a gymnasium, or the girls to play foot.ball with pie
ccs of coal in tho halls has gone, and we hope that every
student will earnestly cooperate with the professors in
thicr attempt to secure order, without which perfect suc
cess is a paradox and an impossibility.
That the University is steadily growing is shown by
the increase in the number of occupied rooms. Two
years ago half a dozen rooms on the three main floors
were vacant. To day all are occupied and tho work of
fitting up the basement commenced. Two years hence
now buildings will be absolutely necessary,
Tho Palladian Debating Club holds breezy meetings
on Saturday evening of each week. The boys seem deter
mined to make this organization the moans of acquiring
thorough drill in debate and "ofl'-hand" speaking. In
order that tho deliberations of the club may bo unre
strained, non-members ot the society will be excluded
except in special instances.
