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. throng It all the ceremonies apper taining t hereto. We wish them much success in tin ir undertaking, for i hey are establishing a custom hilli erto unknown tit the history of the University, and one which will live Success to the Law class of 1888. 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.

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- Appointments forxl Saturday, Senior orators, Borland N. R.
