We suggest to the Seniors that by putting their ring on wheels and tying a string to it they could make it more man ageable. Mr. W. L. Arnold, a former student, and now a prominent and influential citizen of Ashland, spent a few days in the city visiting friends last week. We understand that the renowned Schubert Quartette of Chicago will appear in Lincoln some time in the near future. This opportunity of hearing them should not be missed by any one who is a lover of good music. Private advices from San Francisco enable us to state that Mr. Ed. Unangst passed a very creditable examination on his admission to the bar, and that his prospects for a' brilliant fu ture in his profession are bright. The June classes have all been selected and have gone into training, preparatory to bombarding the defenseless people of Lincoln for three successive nights.

Tutor White took the Junior Physics class through the city electric light works last Thursday, thus giving them a valu able practical lesson in Electricity. Mr. White's thorough knowledge of his subject has made this unusually dry study extraordinarily interesting this term. Regent Mallalicu reports the Rciorm School as flourishing, and says that they will be able to send a student to the Uni versity in the fall. We can report an institution more pros perous, for if we arc not over sanguine it will have a few stu dents ready for the Reform by the opening of its next session. Mr. Lobingicr stand up! It is asserted upon pretty good au thority that last Friday noon as you were going to dinner you well you got your face washed, and then you the fact is, we would like to have a conversation with you at our pri vate office.

The Sophomores have elected the following class officers: President, Kleine Polk; Vice-President, Flora Baker; Secre tary, Paul HcfTlcman; Historian, Jared Smith. The last class meeting of the term was held last Saturday evening at the home of Miss Manley. The Seniors did not molest them, as on a previous occasion, and they passed the evening in a prof itable manner. They all have a feeling of sadness, as they remember that they will soon be Juniors, when, according to the time-honored custom, they can hold but one meeting during each term.
