The promised hydrant does not seem to material ize and those students who are compelled to stay in the building for thegieater part of the day are under the necessity of going down town for a drink, drink ing luke-warm water, or going without. Some ar rangement ought to be made immediately by which students could be supplied, withoi t so much trouble, with this necessity. About the most pleasant of news which has circu lated among us for some time is the success of the re gents and Gov. Thayer in -procuring the prolongation of the term for which out Lieutenant has been de tailed to this University. Lieut. Dudley has served his second term here, and in that second term has built up his department so well, and has won the es teem of so many students that all felt saddened at the prospeet of loosing him just as the armory, for which he labored so hard, was finished. By the terms with us till September, 1888', not long enough, per haps, to enjoy the full fruits of his labors, yet we, and we hope he is also, are pleased that his term has been lengthened even that lung. The question was recently asked, "How many trees lo the square foot on our campus?" We could not answer it, but realized that there were a jreat many trees upon it. Has it become" so that Arbbr'Diy should bring around with it the planting of numerous trees without reference to the actual need of them? It seemed that every space of ground which would allow of a tree space of two feet would be filled with a young tree. It is a fact that if all the trees grow which are now planted upon our campus, there will either be stunted trees or a good deal of grubbing to be done. "CT"- of the letter recently received, the Lieutenant stays The editorials of the New Republic and the clip ped article in the State Journal 'concerning the action of certain University professors and the student vo ters in regard to the recent city election, has excited no little merriment among those who understand the real facts in the case. It is true that a meeting of the student voters was called, but not by any professor or through the instigation of any professor. It is true, also, that two professors spoke at that meeting,but on ly as stating opinions, and it is a mistake to say that one of them declared Mr. Sawyer was a prohibition ist in principle, to catch the prohibition vote. He did state, however, that Mr Sawyer was a temper ance man and advocated temperance principles, and he plainly stated that Mr. Sawyer would not, under all probability, attempt to carry out prohibition prin ciples. Furthermore, there was no pledging done on either the part of the professors or on the part of the studenis, and the result of that meeting was the adoption of a resolution favoring the election of Mr. Sawyer, leaving the rest of the ticket untouched. 'I his is not considered by the students, nor can it be so coi-sidered by any, as interference, or an attempt to whip the students into line for any party favorites, on the part of the professors. The latest movement of the faculty in insisting up on the proper use of the halls has certainly many things which recommend its wisdom to all thinking students. They have been misused and that, shame-
