it is about time for something to
be done by the Class ol 88, in re*
gaid to the settee which it is to leave
on the campus next commencement,.
We suggest that a committee be ap
pointed to look into the matter at
once.
The custom was initiated last year
by the Class of’89 of giving a class
supper while Sophomores. The af
fair was a grand success and an al
together enjoyable affair,and we hope
the Class of’90 will not let the new
custom die.

TOLU RAY.
We hope that the Geological sur
vey of the Senior class will not fail
tin (digit this year. Lii-t year the
class was small, and the anxiety to
<>o oil suclt a trip was not at a very
high pitch, and from these causes,
the trip was abandoned. But this
year, with forty five men in the Se
nior class, and with a determination
to fathom the mysteries of Geology,
a trip will in all probability he taken
It, will not, ; t is to be hoped, be to
Tallulah Falls, although the scenery
of that place is grand. We hope it
will he to Lit ray Cave, where all the
different kinds of geological lorina-
tion may be seen. We hope that the
Faculty will so arrange the finals
that the Senior class will lie enabled
lo take this trip early in June after
the examinations are over, and it is
to be hoped that Dr. Jones will make
one of the party.

Let the good work go on. The

THE NEW OPERA HOUSE.
Athens has just cause to be proud
of this elegant structure. The old
house had become very unfit for en
tertainments, and something had to
be done to secure a better one. Af-
tei some time a company was form
ed, and by their untiring efforts the
new Opera House was built. It is
splendid in all its apartments, and
would be the pride of many places
larger than Athens. The formal
opening of the House occurred Mon-

Two learned Edwardsville Seniors
were heard discussing the other day
in a very animated manner, whether
it was not just as probable I hat two
and two made five as four. ‘ Verily
much learning doth make thee mad.’
John L. Cooper, (laying aside his
Chemistry {lectures): “Let me see.
Hydrogen monoxide? Oh, yes! It
is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and
invisible; does not occur naturally,
but may be prepared artificially —
I'll knock him silly on that ques
tion.”
Prof. Rutherford now brings a
book in which he marks the Soph’s
deportment. Truly, the Soph class
is an unruly member of the Uni
versity.

PROPERL Y APPRECIA 'lED.
True merit is hardly ever properly ap
preciated, and its cultivation is never
greatly encouraged; but eviry one can
appreciate and encourage true merit by
buying spectacles and jewelry from Skiff,
the jeweler.
