Always ready to serve you. The dedication of the Memorial Hall is at hand. We understand Professor Bessey has been represented as giving hearty and unqualified assent to a military ball. This is a misrepresentation by those to whom dancing constitutes three-fourths of life. The chancellor, and no doubt the majority of the iaculty, discountenance any such method of dedication, and recommend a reception with a grand promen ade as the main feature. If then some of the student wish to distinguish themselves by dancing, all right. The scientifics have once more demonstrated their super iority; and they did it in a manner befitting their training. They sat upon the tail end of the laboratory in all their glory, and hordes of inimical lits gathered below. A salvo o silicate taking Hall longitudinally on the spinal column, and a lot of various projectiles, one of which hit Sayer under the left auricular protuberance, sent the enemy in full retreat. A counter charge was made which effectu ally dispersed the enemy's forces. There are hopes that the scienlifs will soon treat the university to an intercinine pic rush. A GUMMY TALE. In the language of a Senior, Late I heard a tale of woe; How a Saturday engagement Caused great trouble two weeks ago, In the month of October. Yes, one evening in October, When the moon bung bigh in beaven, Pbndered long an anxious Junior, Pondered long until ball past seven, In deepest Tevcrie. Finally, bis mind decided, He sallied forth to make a call, In the moonlight clear and brilliant Sallied forth the student Ii ; At each step a mile he measured. Quickly to the hou?e be burried, Stroked bis moustache, smoothed his 'hair, Rang the bell, within he glided; Then hastend up the narrow stair A smile upon his face. They say a Senior too was speeding, Speeding in the evening gloom; Small and slender was this Senior, Speeding toward a certain room, So they told me. Senior, Junior both together, Met within the same bright room. This was in October weather, When they met there each in wonder; Ah! Such wonder! And they say the maiden was bewildered, When she saw the Junior tall, For they say the Senior on that evening Had been expected to come and call; Yet the Senior doubted it. So the Senior was not certain, Of the Junior waiting there, Had been expected on that evening, So the Senior waited in his chair, Like a bump upon a log. They say they sat there all together, Junior, Senior, maiden waiting, Junior and Senior pondering whether, He or the other ought to go. So the Senior told me. The Junior wanted to talk alone With the maiden he had come to see. The Senior prayed that the Junior would go, And of course they failed to agree. So the Junior told me. "Let's have some gum," said the Junior boy. Agreed," said the Senior with a wicked thought. "But who," he asked with innocent look, "Shall sec that the gum is bought?" Echo answered, "Who?" "Oh!" said the Junior, hoping for fun, "Match with pennies, twice out of three. Miss X shalljudge, also her chum, He wbo loses must get the gum." (Loses what, girl orum?) So pennies they matched with mutual care. The Senior won, then the Junior won. Once more they matched in silent prayer, The Senior won the Junior went for gum. Went and left the Senior! The Junior with gum returned again, In breathless baste, he mounted the stair; He looked in the room and nothing he saw, Miss X and the Senior were no longer there, Werenolonger there. Therehad been a sound of hurrying feet, A stealthy rush through the silent hall, A basty glance up and down the street, Then Senior and maiden sped away; Yes, they sped away. Ask me notwhencelhey hastened away; Ask me not if the Junior swore, Ask me not of tbe gum he bought, This I will tell some other day, But not to day. Tell me not in taunting accents, Senior life is but a dream. Forit seems they always get there, Juniors are not what they seem. (Perb ins they are.) If another fellow be there, And the girl to you is dumb, Just remember oftbat Senior, Quickly send bim after gum And let him cbcw it. Just now I heard that Senior singing, Singing as be "went along. In my ears that song still echoes, Listen to that Senior's song As be sang it. "Seniors may not be so tall, For that they are not to blame; But -when it comes to an evening call, They get there just the same." X. Y, z. i. ' w8a . Jafotl OS
