26 University Reporter. University__Reporter. EDITORIAL. Among the many changes which have been made during the present session, one which was much regretted by the Senior class was the removal of the study of Ancient History from their course to that of a lower class. This change was no doubt a good thing for the University. But since its effect was to de prive the present Senior class of the pleasures derived from this important study, this class was unable to appreciate the benefits of such a change until Prof. Bocock kindly announced that he would lecture to the class on the History of Greece. This is one of the most important studies in a college course, and a thorough knowledge of those early principles both relig ious and political from which many of our laws and customs sprung is absolutely essential to a good education. The Seniors realize this, and fully appreciate the efforts of Prof. Bocock to instruct them in this important branch. And while his time is so neaily occupied with other things that he is unable to devote as much attention to the subject as the class would like, he at the same time does not fail to make them interested while he does have their attention. Prof, Bocock has won the admiration of all who were fortu nate and wise enough to be in his department, and the only ob jection the Seniors find is that he is too well qualified to in struct them. It is a treat indeed to hear what truly deserves the name of music on a calm and peaceful night, and especially when one is gently aroused from a quiet sleep. It often happens, how ever, that the public is imposed upon by those who either from sheer ignorance of their own incapacity to make music, or who realizing their want of talent wilfully make themselves the ob jects of ennui for their own amusement. But any one who has been fortunate enough to listen to the symphonious sounds of the University Owl Quartette will agree with us that its enter tainments are delightful. This quartette is composed of Messrs, j Mynatt, Willcoxon, Reid and Poullain, and while it has been 1 organized only a short time, it has made quite a reputation for 1 itself. 1
