STATE UNIVERSITY Julia Hamilton.. . . . . . Editor. Miss Emma Dorris invited a fe w students to spend Saturday evening at her home. All had a very enjoyable time. We are happy to know that Mr. Veazio is the fortunate 1-uurcan President w ho will re ceive that hnt from Prof. Johnsou. The University was visited last Friday by Miss I. ura Murch and Messrs. llolwrt John sou nnd E. O. Potter, graduates of '87. We feel safe in saying there will be publia rheturicals to-day, as the measles have almost died out among tho students and there have been no cases of sma'1-pox re ported. Tho liunio of Miss Dora Dickinson was balloted upon last Friday ns a suitable per son fur membership in the Eutuxiau society. Misses Ada Sharpies nnd F.tta Owen signed tbe Constitution. Behold, how thu society is growing. Mr. Corry Bushuell, s former student of ths University, started for Washington Ter ritory last Thursday morning where he in tends starting a photograph gallery. Ho was uccompauied aa fur as Sulciu by his brother Edwin. t Misses Belle Pattison, Stella Bracken, Rena Bonnett, nnd Messrs. Hulbiirt, Chesh ire and Couutrymnn were being examined last week for teacher's certificates. Several of these students intend to teach Spring terms of school in various localities. The question.Resolved, "That Utah should not be admitted into tbe Union," will be de hated to-day iu the Eutaxinn society by tbe following young ladies: Afllrtnaiive. Ida Hendricks, Julia Hamilton, Annie Withers, Annie Roberts; negative, Elva Gullowny, Etta Moore. Agues Greene, Annie Crnin. On tho 27th of this month there will be an elocutionary contest between the senior elocution class and tho following mimed per sons selected from the sophomore and juuior classes: F.nima Dorris, Sno Dorris, L. J. Eavis, F. M. Mulkey, Clara Condon, L. E. Woodworth, A. L. Veazio. Among the things observed this week was large lump ou Mr. Buttertleld's bend in the viciuity of tbe right temple. This is the disastrous result of a murderous paper ball thrown at Mr. B. by a disappointed office seeker. How filled with remorse tho thought would be if Mr. B. bail tn carry this mark of Corporation difficulty through life. We menu the bump. The following officers were elected at tbe Inst meeting of tbe Lnureun society: Presi dent, A. L. Veuzie; Vice President, J. R, Greenfield; Secretary, J. C. Yonng; Assis tant Secretary, Will McCormac; Treasurer, L. E. Woodworth: Editor, F. D. Wagner; Sorgeant-ot-Arms, D. II. Roberts; Censor, Miles Cautrell. According to the "mutual agreement" signed by many members of tho Corporation, they assembled in tbe society hull lust Sat urday to consider aud settlo Corporation difficulties. H. A. Brattain was chosen chairman. After much gentle whispering, mild speaking nnd graceful gesticulating the offices were declared vacant. They were im mediately filled by nearly tho same officers elected nt the first Corporation meeting. The Eutuxiau society was favored last Friduy by a new and rare feature, which we believe has not yet made its appearance in the Laurean society. We have heard many different kinds of dialogues, but the beauty of this charming uovolty consisted in its be ing entirely a duett. We remember it was onllod a declatnatery duette rendered by Misses Etta Moore and FunieCondon. These ladies both possess excellent powers for pro nouncing and declaiming. Mr. Frank Hyde, of Independence, who has been sick for some time breathed his last at 3 o'clock Wednesday moruing. Such events ns this are ever sad many beside his intimate friends, are tilled with sympathetic sorrow nt his early death. "Leiivts have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north winds breath, And stun to set but all, . Thou hasr ail seasons fur tliiuo own, oh! ' death." We are at present entertaining lofty ambi tions which far outstrip tho high aspirations for annalist or the presidency of the Corpora tion, or president of the Laurcau or Eutax inn societies at the Inst term of school. We are not nshnmed of this ambition and intend to let tbo public kuow what it is. Our friends may be surprised ut our enterprising disposition but tbut surprise will soon change to admiration when they realize our noble sentiment. We want to make the Guard tho lending pnpor on the Pacitio Coast which we propose to do through the University column published by the Eutux iau sooicty. If we could make tho Gbabd thus prominent in the western homes it would be to tlie glory of our dear society. Among the frozen gorges of Washington as well as in tho sunny vine-clad bills of Cali fornia nnd tbe mild vnlleys of Oregon the fume of the Eutaxinn society would resound. Posterity would bless the Lutnxiuns of the Dorris, Moore, Condon and Greene era. Our mimes would be written on the pages ot Etituxiiin history as the most devoted to our cause, even, if necessary, martyrs to our be loved society. Sisters, see what a brilliant future lies before ns in this grand undertak ing, i We trust the faculty will raise no ob- tctions to the advancements of this cause), ike the ambitious little boy who aimed at the presidency of thfl United States (not tbe Corporation,) we have aimed at the highest the literary world pro duces. We have carefully examined tbe leading periodicals such ns Blackwood's ningnziue, the Century, the Forum, Popu lai Science Monthly besides otbors and de cided that if wo wish to become like them we shall be obliged for a little to use them as a pattern until we got started. We wish to be as original as possible but we hope the proprietors of these periodicals will not be offended and accuse us of plngarism if we de a little as they do. One feature of these j periodicals that attructed our attention tbe most was a prospectus nnd we believe it ) would be the most practical thing we can do nnder the circumstances to give this scheme good start.' As this is the beginning of the spring season we will publish our prospec tus and rest content that after this able be ginning this enterprise will advauce with rupid strides until wo proudly see the GcABi), tbe organ of the Eutuxian society recognized all over America as the lending paper of the I'acifio Coast.
