THE HESPERIAN.
There used to be a saying that "fanners arc sleepy" hut
conclusive proof has been wanting until very latey, when the
Prof, called Mr. Farmer, Mr. Firmer, Mr Farmkk, next.
Miss Scott, one of our new students, had the misfortune to
fall sick nearly at the beginning of her work, but wc arc
pleased to note she is convalescent and will "soon be with
us again.
Frank Wheeler was taken sick the first week of the term
with typhoid fever and is now very low. His mother is with
him and he has all the care, we venture, that a mother could
bestow. The IIksi-kkian joins in the general University
desires for his speedy recovery, and hopes that he may soon
take his place with the Seniors.
The cadet band begins the year witli more flattering pros
pects than ever before since its organization. The greater
part of the old members arc back, and besides there arc some
three or four new men who are experienced players. Indeed
the band is now in as good trim as at the close of last year,
and that is saying a good deal for the boys.
There is no more glowing example of cowardice on record
than that of the present Freshman class unless it be the
Sophomores. Each class boasted that they would "show
the other" but they didn't. The Freshmen dared not carry
canes with one or two exceptions and the Sophomoics
feared to attack these exceptions. Verily courage does de
generate in these classic halls.
Wo were grieved to learn a few days since that Miss Mercer
had taken so sick that she was compelled to leave us and re
turn to her home. Thinking that under the care of her pa
rents she would rapidly recover and soon return, wc were
startled to learn that she was rapidly growing worse, so much
so that should she recover, it will be too late for her to .think
of returning this term. The students join in wishing her a
rapid recovery.
Some confusion was caused in the first few chapel services
of the term, on account of the greater number of students on
the so-called male side of the chapel than on the other. Some
thing of an arbitrary arrangement was made whereby the
back rows on the girls' side are to be reserved for the boys.
This looks considerably like some small sectarian college
mandate, and seems rather childish for a state institution.
Custom and courtesy will keep most of the boys on one side,
but there is certainly no harm done, even if they do mix a
little. This looks like a "color line" that is not in keeping
with a first-class co-educational institution.
