Student t "Then I suppose we moat take the skimmed milk for the others.'1 (Applsuse.) The Junior class were examined in Physios last Tuesday, and commenced Optica the next day. This is one of the "rustling" clsste of the University. Change ever marks us for his own. Ths Kutaxians nominated new officers yesterday) hence, gentle reader, believing that the col umn wijl be entrusted to more worthy hands next term, we bid yen a pluasaut good-bye. What most we conclude when we hear of a young gentleman's having bought lots and been engaged in fixing up the house aud sur ronndings? The mystoiy is just simply un fathomable! But such is reported of one of the graduates of '80. Mr. Frank A. Huffer has retired to his home at Jacksonville, it not being necessary for hiin to stay in school the remakder of this year in order to complete the course next year. He will be missed by his class. mates and frionds, who, w feel assured, all concur it wishing him apUasant vacation. Miss Anna Pougra has been absent frm:t school during the psst week on account of sickness. Her health hrs been poer for some time; so much ss indeed, that it has been a question in her mind whether she would return to school this year. However, she has recovered sufficiently to be at her old post, on account of which we are heartily glad. Open Session. At last ths long looked for, long waited for, long mourned for, long prayed for "opeu ses sion" of the Eutaxiam has come and gene, and ths Laureans undoubtedly satisfied at least so far as time could cuptrihute to their eutertainmenL On account rf Presi lent's absence, the Vice President presided. The usual business was attended to, when ths soci eties and visitors were favored with a recitation by Miss Osle Wa'ton, entitled "Ths Revery in Church." Miss Marie Dorris then read a se lection, the title of which is unknown to us. But the drifUf it was that two young non- romancers started out to lie true friends, hut nothing more. They were friends, snd as matter of fact, strictly confidential; but finally it became necessary that one should be called away, and the two "friends" must part Well, all things don't ends they begin; for, said he, "perhaps the tears w?tmt friendship; but I'm sure the khe meant snore." In answer to the "Laurentian" President's question, "What be came nf the man after he kissed the girl V we would ny that we think he didn't go. After reftess, the Vice President being on duty for debate, Miss Emma Boan was railed to the chair, The question was, "Resolved, '.hut Giimbctta bad a lietter influence onthe (Killtical affairs nf France than Gladstone on those of France." It was mooted on the affirm ative by the Misses Aline Dorris, Bettle Shaw, DeKtta Cogswell and Ida Patterson; on the negative by the Misses Huttis Collier, Jennie Spencer, Eliua Lockwood aid Emma Wright The debate was lengthy and spirited, and Iwth the merits and the demerits of the two great statesmen were discussed with a good deal of warmth. About the worst thing we learned of Gaiubetta was that "he was as immoral as any one we know of I" and Gladstoue caused some or Irishmen to ' starve for ths want of hunger!" Inasmuch as the immorality nt Gsmlwtta outweighed the hsartlessness of Gladstone, the judges decided in favor of the negative. Amomr the visitors the facultr was repre sented by Profs. Bailey, Condon, Spiller and liurka. The society was gratified by some pleasing remarks from ths President nf the Laureans, and also from Miss Nettie MoOor nack ; but owlnif to the lateness of the hour, the others erhaM thought their silsnos would he ureferahle to a speech, and so were oblhresl to forego the pleasure of listening to them. There being nothing further before the house, the society stood adjourned, and many a freed soul s;ied homeward, but not many on "wiugs of the birds of Paradise," Social Club. The programme of the last meeting of the social club, though not all carried not, whs quite interesting. The pat which was exe cuted consisted of music and quotations. At the previous meeting tho President appointed Mr K E Burke and Mis Nettie McVnrnsck as leaders on an exercise to be eonduoted something after the manner vf4a spilling school, except that instead of spelling words, the participants should give quotations. Mr Burke was aided by the Misses Gertrude McLatferty, Mary McCornack, Hattis Col lier, DeEtta Cogswell, F(mnia Bean, and Mr. George Dorris. Miss McCoroeok, by Messrs W 11 McGhce, Bert Collier, T 0 Judkins, F A Huffer, and Miss Mae Underwood. Mr Burke's side at Isst gave np in despair aud pronounced themselves "beaten." The of ficers elected for tlte ensuing term are a fol lows: President, Miss Nettie MuCornauk; Vice President, Mr E E Burke; Secretary, ( eoree Dorris; Ass't Sec., Mary McCornack; Treasurer, Mae Underwood, and Censor, W H McGhee. The author for one week from to-night will b Scott. There will be music as usual two or three select readings, and each member is requested to have a short quotation from the author. Experiments. One day last week the scientific and classical Juniois, and the Normal Seniors assembled in Prof. Collier's room, which was darkened, to witness electrical experiments. These expert- msuts eonsistod iu passing elect-icity through Geisaler's and Crook's tubes, which ooaUiasd rariBed gas or vavor.
