Geo Williams, a former student of the University, has left for Norwark, Conn, to finish his college course. "Four things come not back- The spoken word, the, sped arrow, the past life and the neglected opportunity." The names of Leona Edward, Rena Mo Phorson and Anna Wooley were proposed for membership in the society last week. Will wonders never cease? A member of the Greek class lately discovered that bis name is derived from a Greek verb. What will happen next? The question, "Resolved, that our army and navy ought to be increased," will be de bated by the Liurean next week, Leaden' J H Barkdoll ami A 8 Mulligan.

The question, "Resolved, that the State ought to provide for the free educatiou of all children within it borders," will be de bated by tho Eutaxiau next week. Lead ers, Anna Midgely and Kate Powell. "The harp his sole remaining joy," U as dearer to him fiau t'b tstma toy; Study no more distressed hi brain, When woke the wild, enchanting strain. "The harp his sole remaining joy," Wm stolen by a hoodlum boy; How will he wake the toft refrain? How will be soothe hi wearied brain? Now is the time when the student avoid that part of the hull where the bulletin board stands, and if obliged to pass it, turn their head iu the opposite direction for fear they may see their names announced for rhetoncals iu the auditorium on tome uear Friday. The question, "Resolved, That at civiliza tion a Ivan :cs man becomes more selfish,", was debated' by the Eutaxiuut last week. The allirmatiye was lead by Emma Beau and the negative by Oiie Walton, and after quite an interesting discuuion the decision was rendered by President Moor iu favor of the negative, A phantom professor i the latest novelty at the University. N i toouer does one of the professors leave hit roo n a moment, than this ghostly pursonage takes his place aud carries on the lecita'ious until the professor returns, when it iinmodiatuly fade into air and disappears.

All invited promptly obeyed the summons, aud those uuiuyited toirowed (?) and wondered why they had been slighted. After being eutertained for tame time the meeting broke up and they all left with the determination to begin their third study early the next morning. An Unfortunate Benefactor. Much regret is expressed by student of the University for the financial misfortunes of Mr Villard.

And now tlust his financial embarrassment have stripped him of bis wealth, we should remember and honor him the mort. Shade Trees. Now when the subject of planting out shade trees in the Uuiversity campus is again agita ted, we hop the opportiuiity uf the incoming Spring will not be allowed to pass unimproved. Thi l-eaiitiful site might be made vastly in ire beautiful with a little attention iu this way. After a few year uf decorative growth, how ii viting might become the geu rol appearance of the whole graia b. If citizens fail to comply with thit request at now given, another year should not be al low to pa- witfcout an outlay of tome rn.-r.ey by those iu charge, to secure this much needed E Jiiriprrmn.. A Popular Demand. A waut of the old "four year' oours" I be'' ooniing more and more apparent A large numlier of student now in attendant, will never take tho six year term, which is st present reojulred, and a there ut no shorter course, Will consequently withdraw to graduate elsewhere, This will be a lots to the Univers ity which It can poorly afford. While it it plant tlmt tlie old conrto should again be adojited RAil probably, also, aft English on of like duration, we would not disturb the six years term", but leave It for those who prefer to' take It A fef may wish to prepare for pol-' tions requiring an exteuded preparation, snd this oprsrrtunitv will thereby remain to them. But the many with other prisjptct iff life be fore them want no such attainment To them it is a ("ead lists of time, energy and meansy Therefore, let us have the "old four year cnurse" again; also, s p"(rely En-lish courts of like length of time. They are greatly needed to meet the wants of the publio at Urge, Under such reconstruction, it is plain our State University can soon become popular and prosperous the pride uf the State and the favorite of the people. Vox. Hunting Expedition. Several of our enterprising citizens conclud ed lost Wednesday that the market of thi city should have a supply of game, so after making several contract to supply different parties, preparations wer mail for a trip'' to the raging waters of the Long Tom.
