THE HESPERIAN.
Jennie M. Stout, a member of the class of '86, is attend
ing school in Jacksonville, Illinois. She, with her brother
Charlie, completed the course this year. As an example of
the work she is doing, Jennie took the first prize for being
the neatest and best typewriter in the class. Her many
friends receive "printed" pages from her frequently. BetU-
tiit Exponent.
The majority of the students do not appreciate the Heats j
they have had the opportunity to receive from the 1 laydon
Art club, and yet there are quite a number that do appreciate
and take advantage of the opportunities. Added to the
exhibition of the "Wise and Foolish Virgins," the regular
monthly programs which are held in the chapel, was the
very entertaining and instructive illustrated lecture by Pro
fessor French, of Chicago, February 26, on the "Wit and
Wisdom of the Crayon." The small audience that listened
to it, received and appreciated a rare treat.
Why cannot the higher classmen have more liberties aud
more privileges? Why could it not be arranged so that a
student who is doing special work in any line could, at any
time he should sec fit, have access to material and literature:
at liberty to delve and dig at any time, day or night, that he
may sec fit to do so, rather than to have those privilege
doled out to him like bread to a beggar? That is, for j
example a man who is making a special study in a science at j
liberty to go into the library and laboratory at an) j
time and solve any idea that comes to his mind; the :
student in literature at liberty to in the library to delve 1
and search on any line when he has an idea is his mind.
This privilege is given the higher students in some of our
neighboring colleges, and with cry satisfactory results. It
is granted to a very few in this institution ami with
the best results. Those few who enjoy this liberty in the
departments in which they are doing special work have
proven to be the students of those departments. Why can
not that privilege be made general?
As there, was no society last Friday quite a number of
students of the U. of N. improved the opportunity to visit
our neighbors, the Orphelians, of Nebraska Weslcyan L'ni
versity. The crowd arrived at the university in several
tlEtnrlitniMits. nml one small detachment of two arrived at
Twenty seventh and Vine" after the last car had wended its j
solitary way to the wilds of University place. As the exer
cises at Wesleyan commenced at sundown, none of the visit-1
ors heard all the program. A "paper" was an important
feature of the program and this let a flood of light in upon
ihe internal workings of a boarding school. The number of
"mashes" and the manner of transferring unsatisfactory
"mash ts" was startling. Of course everybody stayed to
business meeting and were entertained by the reading of a
splendidly robust specimen of constitution which had prob
ably been in course of construction since last September.
The only really sad feature of the visit was that French and
Allen did not get to deliver some little flowery speeches the)
had prepared. After some ineffectual attempts on the part o
Forsyth to get the cars to start, leaving half the crowti
behind, the whole mob boarded the two one horse cars ami
with the aid of a great deal of noise arrived in town.
The following have already been received as samples of
University yells. Manlcy and Fifei are supposed to be the
originators:
(I) Iloopec, Hoopec, do 'em Pgaiu,
Haidec, Haidec, U. of N.
(II) Haidec, Haidee, U. of N.
Kah-doo, rah-doo, Amen! !
(Hi) Rah, rah, rah,
' U. ofN.
Haidee, Haidee,
Haidec !
