The president gave his de cision in favor of the negative. A motion was made and carried that a committee be appointed to visit the Demosthenian and request that society to enter into a joint debate with the Phi Kappa some time in the near future. This was done. The same oominitte and one ity ment won.

It was mentioned by some one in the Iasi issue of Tin: Kk.ii asi> IIi.ai k that it would bo nice to have a hi cycle race on t\eld day. A certain “Senior” in anticipating that a mere ; mention would he carried into real ity, began at once to practice, lie made his first attempt on Jackson street, where, us ho thought, there would he no witnesses who knew him nor any who might know his purpose in venturing to ride, lie mounted the two wheel “contrap tion” (as he called it, after the ride) in the street just behind Prof. Mor ris' house, putting on steam he did very well i making a tr ack like that if a snake) until ho commenced to leseond the small slope in going down to Broad, when the machinery began to work too fast and his right fool slipped off the pedal, and hv the force tie continued giving the left pedal, the bicycle was turned at an angle of ninety degrees down cross street just above the Phi Kappa hall. Forgetting how to put oil brakes, and thinking that going at this rapid rate, he might collide with and injure some box cars that were standing across the street further down, he decided the safest plan would lie to fall off, then by giving biraself a jerk to the left, he bicycle and all went over into the ditch. He from that very moment, declined the idea of riding on field day, ami has come to the conclusion that it is easier by far to learn “Political Economy” or Psycology than to ride one of those two wheel “contraptions." The members of the Senior Class have now taken up a course in En glish language and literature under Dr. Kiley. His introductory lectures have been very instructive and in teresting. While the course s a short one, embracing only four mouths, yet it promises to be full of interest. Prof. Kiley will make an effort to have each of the four classes persue a nine months course in En glish instead of four and a half as now. It is t. be hoped that he will ■ncc ed. I’ltOK. HAItKOW KK.SH1NS. Prof. I>. (’. Barrow, who has been for many years the professor of pure and applied mathcinatirs at the Georgia University, has tendered his resignation to the faculty of that institution, to take effect at the expiration of the present collegiate year. Such action on the part of Prof. Barrow is to be regretted by all, not only the students now here, ami the faculty of the institution, hut by all people the state over who are interested in the welfare of their state’s highest institution of learn ing. The people of the state who have the welfare of the college at heart will regret to hear of his res ignation, and also to learn that we are to lose one of our most popular and beloved professors. The faculty has not yet taken action oil this resignation, but will bring every influence possible to bear on Prof. Barrow to get him to withdraw his resignation and re main at the head of one of the most fundamental and important branch es taught at the University. The faculty are urging him to remain vviin them, and each of the four classes have passed resolutions ask ing hi in to remain as their tutor, lie is in full sympathy with the body of students who come here, and soon endears himself to all. He is an honor graduate of this iustitu lion, ami has been devoted to its interests and welfare for many years, and not. well can it afford to lose him from its corps of instructors now. While we do not know whether or not lie can lie prevailed upon to withdraw his resignation, yet every effort will lie made to in duce him to keep the chair h« now so faithfully occupies. It would he no easy matter to find an instructor whom the students will love and re sped as they do Prof. Barrow. Billy Armstrong's father come over to see him last Sum lay. It is to lie hoped that the attempt to have English made a year's course in eacii of the classes instead of a half year’s course, will he suc- eessful. it should at least receive as much recognition as the ancient and modern languages. The Senior A. B's will lake up a course ill moral science ou Monday, under Dr. Boggs. The boys arc hoping that they wont have to re fute llume, Mill and Hamilton as they did in mental science. They havent much sympathy for either of the great philosophers when they attack their theories with scathing ' criticism.
