THE HESPERIAN.
For an animal of its species our orchestra has kept remark
ably quiet and perhaps few know that we have a real live
one which practices in the chapel on Saturdays. The date of
their first ball has not yet been announced.
Two ladies of .the political economy class read Walk
er's statement that homestead land costs one cent per acre,
and began at once to calculate how soon they could take ad
vantage of that privilege. How eagerly would the eligible
young men have listened to their conversation.
The millitary exploits on No ember 2d were the most in
teresting of this term. The Governor came up to inspect the
battalion and was greeted by a salute of several volleys from
the artillery. The battalion was then formed on the parade
ground and inspected by the Governor; after which a number
of battalion movements were executed. Then came the dress
parade and review; and at the close of these ceremonies the
Governor addressed the cadets, saying that they did well, he
enjoyed the exercises and would henceforth take even greater
interest in the University Battalion than before. He also
spoke of the military policy of our country, having al
most no standing army; but on the other hand the latent pow
er of the millions of young men who would bear arms at once
in her defence if their sciviccs were needed. By this he
showed the wisdom that Congress displayed in requiring the
male students of the schools endowed by public lands to be
(rained in the art of war. The cadets showed their apprecia
tion of his interest and remarks by three rousing cheers which
were far more expressive than the convcnlial roar of the can
nons that had announced the Governor's approach. Thrc
more hearty cheers were given for Col. Dudley, the com
mandant, and he responded in a few words, expressing his at
tachment for the battalion and noting its growth since first he
came here. He also regretted that he would be obliged at
the close of this year to leave the University and go back to
his command in the army. The boys could not refrain
from exerting their lungs to the utmost once more. A pic
ture was then taken of the battalion with Gov. Thayer in
front.
The Seniors and Juniors had a very lively misunderstanding
on the evening of November 5th. The Seniors understood
that they were to have a class sociable at the residence of J.
G. Smith, one of their number; the Junior boys understood
among themselves that the Seniors would not meet, and so
informed the city editor of the Journal. The Senior boys
were putting on their best clothes, when the boys of '89,
rigged out in their fighting duds, called on them in squads of
four or five. A lew minutes after eight o'clock seven Senior
couples were assembling at Mr. Smith's residence; but five
Senior boys, bound hand and fool were taking a forced ride
of some six miles in the opposite direction, while five Senior
ladies were wondering "why he didn't come." One did
come, for he escaped from cords and Juniors alike and took
his lady to the party. The other four were left, bound,, not
very tightly, about five miles beyond the city limits. They
soon released themselves and then walked to town. Two of
them went to Mr. Smith's house where they found three of
their persecutors lying bound on the floor. Their unpleasant
ride and weary walk were entirely forgotten at this turn of
the tables, and they took especial delight in requesting these
Juniors to gag them as they had proposed . A very disorder
ly crowd of boys, mostly lower classmen, had now surround
' cd the house and were trying in every way to break in, de
spite the request of the hostess. About midnight the Seniors
released their prisoners and sought their rooms, feeling that
they had been royally entertained. Even the unlucky four
rejoiced at the way the matter culminated.
