THE HESPERIAN, moving of the departments of botany and physics to Nebraska Hall and the rearrangement of the chemical laboratory it will be impossible to open a regular summer school this vacation. In so far, however, as work may not be interrupted by the removal, teachers arc free to pursue such studies as they wish. In the near future this school for teachers will be a very important part ol the work of the University. In the University of Nebraska the significance of the term and coeducation is shown by the broad interpretation which it receives. A base ball nine has just been organized by a few of the enterprising young ladies. Every pleasant Saturday afternoon this team of loveliness may be seen in all its glory on the base ball grounds about two miles from town. Their suits, a great attraction, are sa;d to be neat, natty and becoming. Last spring the girls gave their atten tion to drilling. At present the craze is base ball, and another year will probably reveal unusual talent in another direction. Perhaps the co eds will win all the prizes in ath letic sports on Fild Day. Professor Chas. E. Bcssey, "69, is at present acting Chan cellor of the University of Nebraska, he having declined the chancellorship, preferring his own department of botany and forestry. Professor Bcssey is a member of several prominent scientific societies. Upon the invitation of the State legisla ture of Nebraska he delivered an address before that honor able body last winter, his subject being "The object and needs of a State University." Professor Bcssey is now revis ing the sixth edition of his botany. He is also preparing a treatise on Systematic Botany, and has under way an Ele mentary Botany, both of which will soon appear. Speculum, Michigan Agricultural College. One of the most enjoyable and pleasant meetings of the year was held at the home of Miss Ellen Smith, Saturday evening, May 25. Our esteemed librarian invited the Senior class to partake ol her hospitality and have a good time gen erally., This was done to the utmost satisfaction ol all con cerned. The refreshments were somewhat novel but fur nished an unlimited amount of fun, when it is remembered that the Seniors had just completed their final examinations, the pleasure enjoyed can'be appreciated. At a seasonable hour '89 took leave with best wishes for the happiness of their kind hostess. The Hesperian board of editors now feel that it is not in vain that they occupy their exalted positions. Last week a very courteous letter was received from President Foss, ol the Crete Chautauqua Assembly, announcing the attractions for this year and enclosing complimentarics for all the board. Such favors arc appreciated by everyone of us. The assembly will hold forth from June 27 to July 9, and cveiy student who can possibly attend should do so. Not only will .they find the assembly grounds beautiful and the pleasures afforded great, but the most excellent lectures, music, musi cal instruction, etc., will make the occasion very profitable as well. Such names as Dr. Alexander McKenzie, Dr. J. T. Duryca, Professor R. L. Cumnoi k, Hon. J. W. Donovan, Ex-Gov. Will Cumback, Hon. G. W. Bain, Professor Frank Beard, etc., are sufficient to guarantee an intellectual treat. The Imperial quartette will be one of the musical attractions. Fourth of July, Editors' Day and Lawyers' Day will be the great days, but it will pay you to go any day. The arrangements for Field Day are going on apace; in other words, they are booming. The committees, always faithful to thrir duties, have kept things lively in making preparation. Such a prograr has been arranged that all the students may take part, if not in all, at least in some of the exercises. The business men of the town, with their usual liberality, have come down well with the prizss. The stud ents will do well to keep in mind these liberal, open handed men be assured that they can always do well in trading with them. All the prizes have not yet been secured, but before Field Day a prize will be secured for each exercise. The program as arranged is as follows: 100 yard dash standing broad jump; running broad jump, straw hat given by S.
