\ 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. The blind tigers are having a hard fight in Athens, ^t seems, however, that the tigers will be successfully caged. Mrs. C. A. Asbury, of White, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Harvey Huggins, of this city. The coming race in the Phi-Kappa tor Editor of the Reporter promises to be a lively one, as there are al ready about seven candidates upon the arena. A second geological excursion is now being contemplated by the Senior Class. Their field of opera tion has not as yet been definitely settled. “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 been confined to his room since Thursday last, and trust that he will soon be out. “Julius Caesar was a woman or Shakespeare wouldn’t have played with her.”—J<AHi§on commenting on the plays of this distinguished author. Our thanks are due anci are here by returned to Mr. F. M Hughes, of the Law Class, for a nice box of oranges from his beautiful South Florida home. These were the larg est and most luscious of the Florida orange, and may his friends down there continue to remember him with 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 their respective boarding houses. He is bewildered and often duped 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 among the students. 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- ety, and as only can be given, some 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. SOCIETY NOTES. Miss Muslin, the charming guest of Miss Comer, will leave Athens the last of next week.
