THE HESPERIA AT. r '- spend his vacation. He says he is going to Harvard to study next year. Tinglcy was born to greatness; Baughman achieved greatness; but Church, lucky man, had greatness thrust upon him. The students in military science jumped up and cracked their heels together eleven times at the easiness of the exam. The janitor of the Memorial Hall showed our typos great kindness by loaning them two large- lamps during the gas famine.

Peterson were selected by the University Union to represent that society in the Univer sity local oratorical contest. And the juniors came, and Prof. Hunt came, and the questions blew and beat upon that class, and it flunked, and great was the flunk thereof. Pizey's midnight ride at Weeping Water and the many pleasant associations connected therewith will probably long be remembered by all parties concerned. Drs.

The band boys have received a very remunerative posi tion at a summer resort in the Catskills for next summer. Wc guess there won't be any cats left next fall.

Dr. Billings has returned from the east with wrath in his heart against his opponents who had seized upon his absence to more effectually oppose him. Look for developments. He was a massive professor, He flunkclh one of three; Of all the Junior class in themes, Full one-third flunkcth he. It is a crtminal offense for a Union to look at Palladian. The Bigelow lins of succession is broken if another heir docs not appear soon, to take the place of the deceased lather in Union politics. To be a Bigelow ia greater than to be a king. Bigclow's family report to ihe faculty wao inoculated by Dr. Billings. Radical change of policy. Bunt once believed in student rule, now he beleivcs in "Hunt" rule. Why? Tosaue his scalp. Prof. Hunfs defense bclore the faculty was well received, Comnanv D nrimc. or E. seems about to turn ud its toes. It is rent by intcrccninc strifes and rude dissensions, as we arc told, mark its course, which, by the way, is like unto the course of love, rough- exceedingly tough. It is rumored that the Lincoln Military band wish to sell their instruments.

A great number of the students slaughtered the Thanks giving bird at their homes. They were wise in availing themselves of their last chance so to do, for be it known that the faculty have sat upon the Thanksgiving holiday. Yea, verily!

"The gods give no great good without labor" is an old proverb, and a true one; the hardest labor is not that which is best paid, however.
