In, the comments on the Unicer

we are informed by the Librarian
that we omitted to slate that Mr.
Hugh M. Comer, ’88, is the great
newspaper reader of the University.
He delights to pore over the free

For weeks, the University chapel
bell has refused to give forth those
ringing peals which were wont to
waken Students from their morning
slumbers. Its tongue had been torn
from its mouit^ and it was unable
to express even the indignation
which it felt over the outrage perpe
trated upon it. However, the dumb
may he cured; and we learn that in
a day or two, the liquid chimes will
again lloat out on the wintry air,
summoning us from other occupa
tions to the flowery ficiion(?) of
Physics, the dry realities of Mathe
matics, and—let it be said—to the
revival uf the Friday night prayer-
meeting. Long may it be, ere the
music of the college bell is silenced
by the hand of violence.

The last week or two lias seen
many pleasant scenes, but none more
delightful than t hose enacted around
Thanksgiving boxes received from
liome bv some uf the University's
graduates. The writer was first
called upon to participate in the
funeral ceremonies of a package re
ceived by Will Ellis. ’90. Norslia 1

ceremony over a huge cake received
by a Penior, to utter whose name

the pleasures of the day, we entered

There is a student iu the Junioi
Class—yes, a student—who has font-
sets of Chemistry lectures, al! taken
different years, and by different pet
sons. For three or four hours he
pores over these, learning the differ
ence between marsh gas and water.
Not content with this preparation,
lie sits on the hack bench at recita
tion re-enforced by his four sets tor
anything on which he may he ques
tioned; and, to make his calling
and election sure, he pledges all his
neighbors to prompt him. Surety,
soeh determination and thorough
ness of prepai at ion, deserves its re
ward; and betting is a beaver hat
to a Stillwell House buckwheat cake

The Waiter Drill, given for the
benefit of the Y. M. C. A. buildin- ,
was a complete success. The drill
was admirably conducted by Mr.
John D. Mell, as captain, and Miss
Mary Nicholson.as orderly sergeant.
The young ladies reflected great
credit upon themselves, and those
present were highly pleased. The
young ladies of Lucy Cobh Ir.sti
lute, were out Friday night, and
joined in making the affair very
pleasant and entertaining. Two
handsome presents were given to the
two best dtilled young ladies—Miss
Mary Nicholson taking the first
prize, and Miss Maude Talmadge
the second. Prof. Willcox deliver
ed the prizes in a very spicy manner.
Captain J. D. Mell was presented
with a flue gold-headed cane by
Miss Katie Rutherford, in behalf of
the company of young ladies. The
proceeds footed up a very nice sum
and every one was pleased in every
respect. We await another such
event with pleasure.
A few evenings since, a Reporter
editor in company with two seniors
wended his way forth to enjoy the
company of some of the opposite sex.
Time flew and 10 o’clock came only
too scum. But it turned out that
time was not the only t litng tliut flew
that night. On their way homo, the
company was ooligeil to pass by the
lonely cemetery just east of the cam-
pits As they traveled bravely on
ward, there suddenly hurst upon
their alert ears the sound of flying
missies. Rock, bricks and various
other implements of warfare Hew
around their heads in a manner cal
culated to disturb their composure.
The locality naturally suggests
glmsts, hut who ever heard of such
active aud warlike unseen spirits.
The next supposin'n made by the
retreating party was that the assail
ants were of that tribe known as
“factory fiends.” However, it was
soon discovered that they were do
others than fellow students, who
were, intent upon easting impedi
ments, or rather rocks, upon the so
cial : spiratious of the visitors. It
is now s.iiil that in returning from
future visits the above guests will
make a circuit of the town and re
turn iu a direction opposite from

The Juniors are at present very
much delighted with the “barba
rous” words as well as the startling
conclusions of Logic. We observed
a few days ago thatCleve Wilicoxon
looked very much troubled about
something, and mildly asked the
cause. “Well, " said he, “Some men
are liars ; 1 am a mail ; therefore,
according to logic, !
But tiiat ain’t so. Logic is a mighty
funny thing, anyhow.”
