Things were quite lively on the
campus last night.
Prof. Woodfin has been confined
to his room for several days this
week.
As field day approaches, the en
thusiasm increases, and the aspiring
student is now seen practicing daily,
in order to win the honors of the
occasion.

fight in Athens, ^t seems, however,
that the tigers will be successfully

to be a lively one, as there are al
ready about seven candidates upon
the arena.
A second geological excursion is

“Man’s inability to pay his debts,
makes countless thousands mourn.”
Out of the three hundred and sixty
colleges iu the United States, only
seventy-five publish papers.
Quite a number of students are
suffering with weak eyes from study
iug “finals.”
The students turned out in full
force to see Michael Slrogoff last
night.
We are sorry to chronicle the ill
ness of Prof. Charbonnier, who has

“Julius Caesar was a woman or

Our thanks are due anci are here
by returned to Mr. F. M Hughes,

oranges.
The traveller who strikes Athens
for the first time, thinks he is in a
city of hotels,” as lie is beseiged
by a crowd of students drumming

by the cries of “Right this way to
tile Hotel de Summey’’—“ Baggage
checked and free buss to the Still
well House.”
Dr. Armstrong is in the city,
shaking hands with his many friends

f he Junior contest in declamation
for speakers’ places has been set for
Wednesday, the 7lh, and will be
awarded the 14th. There will be
about six to contend from each soci-

must fail.
The Phi Kappa Literary Society
generously offers to donate their Li
brary to the University, if a sepa
rate apartment can be furnished for
their keeping. This will doubtless
be given, and the Phi Kappa’s will
convert their old hall into a gymnas
sunn. As the apparatus is now on
the way, they expect to have the hall
out fitted by the 10th of March.—
1 he Phi Kappa Society lias kindly
consented to allow the Demosthe-
tiiaus to share the pleasures and ben
efits of the gymnasium, which is
highly appreciated by them.
1 hare seems to be considerable
commotion in the hoarding circles;
six boys have been in suspense for a
week, in not kuowiug whether or not
their landlord would remain with
them, and in their extremity resolv
ed to “batch,” but found their inci
dental expenses would be more than
actual board; hence, 6 are snatched
from bachelorhood.
Edwardsville is also having its
boarding troubles. The boys report
that they have been without pre
vious notice scattered to the four
corsera, of the city, and thereby
breaking up many pleasant associa
tions. The boys can come to no
other conclusion than that
‘‘Edwardsville is busted.” Weknow
of no other plan to remedy these
troubles than for the st udents to form
a 8. B. P. A. Such an association
seems to be indensible.
