8 THE HESPERIAN STUDENT. jxc1mtfQc jgrh-n-jQntc. As old rn institution ns Kalamazoo should get up a bettor pnper tlnn tlio Index. They nrc iinving i "liigli old time," nt tlio Iowa State Universitv, Y. M. 0. A. meetings each day. Tlic Vidotte Reporter is a good weekly, containing con. siderablc collgc news, interesting in character. The Badger complains of a lack of boys vrho take an interest in college songs. The sar, o might truthfully bo said of our University. The Asbury Monthly has a good column on "Fraternity Notes." 'Would it not bo well for another society to bo organized in this institution? The Sigma ChVs have it rather monotonous, being all alone. The "011a Pod" editor ol tho Berkeleyan Iiiib resigned and it will bo some limo before another can fill his shoes and wield his pointed pencil with the grace which char acterized him. We sympathize with our contemporary. The Bickentonian hns the right idea when it remaiks that "The chier aim of the college paper is to represent as well as possible the spirit of college life in all its phases. It should bo made interesting to the alumni as well as to the student." We should think that the compositors on the Caitha- ginian would have to steal some small cap primer to enable them to satisfy the editor who insists on intro ducing the name of their paper in every editorial and in sonio two or tlucc times. Under the head of "misfortunes" the State 3ourn.nl speaks of the falling of the chimney through tho build ing to the basement, in the nighttime; ilfit had fallen dur ing the day, it would have killed several profiessors and n number of (-Indents. We did not think that Regent Gere had such an antipathy to the University proflVssors and students. Tho Reveille and Undergraduate had belter discontinue publishing the ad "Ears for the Million," as had the Berkeleyan, Kaunas Review, University Press ami Dicken sonian also Ihe "Mendelssohn Piano Co's ad as they nrc frauds and never pay tneir bills. We had them last year through Ilcrmon Con. nut & Co, New York, and were cheated out of thirty dollars. Our near friends can testify to tlio same So the Occident has bad trouble with some unwelcome visitors in their ofllice. Well brother we sympathize with you, for wo have been in similal circumstances only worse. They not only pied our forms but took the tyne put it in a sack, conveyed it some three mi es in tho country and hid it in a threshing machine. Needless to say the desperadoes were never captured and tho typo was not found for several days; however, wo hope you will succeed in bringing the rascals to justice . We have now on our exchange lis the names of nca'ly a hundred collego papers. With an exceptional few they put in their regular appearance. Wo would like to impress on the minds of our many "ex's" that wo shall be very careful in mailing our paper and hope that they will a ways reach tlieir destination; and further that if you do the same when yours reach us that wo will take special caru with each one; for wcliavo an X case that has an apartment four by six inches for each publication. Above each is its name as it appears in its sub head. The caso is inclosed by neat glass doors, so that all dust may be kept out and also to avoid strange hands from puling the wralhy ones where they might flight. Our X caso with its many colored pamphlets Is the pride of our ofllco and we hope never again to see our tablo and sanctum knee deep with college literature. Of late, tho meds incline to less foot-ball and more turkey. Students who fail to take the Monday evening lecture on medical jurisprudence make a grave mistaka. The Homeopathic meds hold a quiz every day at 8 o'clock A. M. mid extend a cordial invitation to all. In tnc absence of Professor Grossman, Professor Mitchell favors the class with sperial lectures on dislo cations. By superabundance of business, Professor Grossmann has been prevented from meeting too class for three weeks. We rejoice to learn that ho is soon to bo with ns again with his purely practical lectures. We are pleased to sec that clinics, from near and far, come before tho class for examination and treatment. Find mention of sonic of them below. Senile Cataract: A lady sixty years of age, having opacity of louse of right eye, received treatment in tho form of ieidectomy preparitory to removing tlio cataract hereafter. Convergent squint cured: A young man whoso eyes were both turned in toward the noso was operated upon and, without pain or loss of time, was left to enjoy a good straight pair of eyes. Treatment: Section of in crnal Recti muscles. Pterygium transplanted: This abnormal membrane, triangular in form, causing pain and obstructing vision, had its origin and base on the inner side of ihe right eye and covered about one fifth of tho corner, i'n apex ex tending over the pupil. Treatment: A keen lancet, guided by a steady hand, was passed between the pteryg ium and smothly passed forw.aid leaving the cornea perfectly clean.. Then the ptrygiutn was dissiectcd back ward nearly half an inch farther and its apex inserted into a small slit made in the lining of tho upner lid and then stitched. Patient a man seventy years of age. No anoosth tic usci Balanced on tho brink: A boy nine years of ago had his forehead laid open by a kick from a mule. The gash was two inches and a half long starting at a point about an inch abovelhe nose and extending upward to the left at an angle of agout fifty degrees. It extended through the frontal bone and an ounce of brain oozed out and was wiped off. In dressing tho wound several crumbs of bone escaped and two pieces of bone, one, one and seven eights inches long and an inc ) wide, t c other half an inch by three fourths had to be removed. New bone is forming and the wound is nearly healed. The bov is lively and cheerful. Case is treated by our demonstrator of anatomy :
