UNIVERSITY ITEMS.
GBy our Special Reporter.l

President Thompson left on the
morning of the 14th. He will be alb
sent about three weeks.
On Wednesday morning, the l4th
inst, President Pendleton was pres
ent at chapel exercises. Having been
invited by Pres. Thompson to make
some remarks, he addressed the stu
dents in few pointed words on the
importance of having a lofty ideal
and at the same time the necessity of
making every effort to attain to or APP
proXimate it as nearly as possible.
We learn by private letter from a
friend in Baltimore, that the Rev. DR..
Scott, who resigned his chair as Vice
President in the University at the
close of last year on account of fail
ing eyesight, has had an operation
performed upon one eye, which was
unsuccessful. He is now at his home
in North Carolina. 1t certainly brings
great sorrow to his many friends to
know that this great and good man,
is so afflicted in his old age, and that
the world is thus deprived of several
years Of his active usefulness.
At the last meeting of the two lit
erary societies, the resolution to pro
vide for contest in June in lieu of
the anniversaries, was almost unani-
mously adopted by the Parthenon
and rejected by the Columbian. /
will Say, however, that the solid por-
ton of the Columbian desired to
adopt the resolution, and that it was
defeated by that class of the society
who are not able to comprehend the
vast superiority of contest over the
regular anniversaries, or else did it
through malace.
Mr.. Shisler, supt. of grounds and
buildings, has taken advantage of the
fine weather to make some exterior
improvements. Mr.. Shisler's good
taste and judgement are seen in the
neat appearance which the University
presents.
The third lecture of the course will
be delivered by Charles Davies, Esq,
of Harper's Ferry, on the evening of
