By OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.

Rev. Mr.. Hughes, of the Nj. +.
Church has been appointed Chaplain
of the University.
Our 'srat SQUAD is very large
and promising one. Under the skill
full drill of Major Lee it will be quite
a valuable addition to the corps.
zone woe upon another's heel doth

picture gallery is gone, we regret its
departure, as it presented quite a pic
turesque appearance upon the cam

Hon. VIM. Dancer, ID. D., L. L. d.,
F. r. s., will deliver an address to
the students, some time in the future,
on the subject Of "Expectoration, on
the Floor and Otherwise" Let all
attend.
President J. II. Stewart, on taking
leave of the Parthenon Society, ex-
tended warm invitation to come
and see him when he went to house
keeping They must have had good
crops down in his section of the State
this year.
The officers of the Parthcnon Lit
erary Society for the first term are
as follows: President, Benz. Brown;
Vice President, N. w. Gaines; Re-
cording Sec'y, Matt. S. Hughes; Cor
responding Sec'y, ]. ID. Sweeney;
Critic. Frank Cox; Librarian, Z. III.
Strauss.
Our new Board of Regents seem to
receive hearty welcome from the
students. 1t is to be hoped that
they will have some influence upon
our penurious Legislature, which in
the words Of one Of the students, care
too stingy to appropriate 10 cents
to white wash the University fence
We are not given to paying com
pliments, but we think Prof. Stewart,
in his capacity Of Librarian, deserves
more praise than we can give. I'M
agine from twenty to thirty lusty
boys with outstretched hands and
tongues, besieging you, penned in
behind railing, with no convenient
backdoor, and you can grasp what
he goes through with at the begin
ing each term.
A student was seen lighting cigar
upon the campus and being asked lift
was allowed, replied that as every
thing was changed of course it was al
lowable. This is not as it should be,
the school is no more ready to en-
courage the students in this vile
practice than they were last year, by
allowing them to smoke upon the
campus, and respectable majority
of them would be pleased to see steps
taken to prevent it.
There is no end to the progress of
our University. There has long been
a want felt which now promises TO be
supplied. The Faculty, we under
stand, are going to establish a
'school of schedules" This has
been studied but under no direct
supervision on the part of professors.
Only last week one of the boys being
asked what studies he was pursuing
replied: "Tm studying the schedule
and don't expect to make 6 on it,"
He will now have chance to make
his standing.
Owing to the scarcity Of good
rooms in the town, one Of the boys
was obliged to engage one rather
dingy and leaky. During the hard
rain the other night he was wet
through and through, but slept grace
fully and benignantly through it all.
When asked next morning what his
feelings were while it was raining on
him he replied 81 dreamed that Ma
jor Lee had turned Baptist, and had
ordered the corps out to be immersed,
I had seen most Of the boys put UNI
der, and my turn had just come, when
I awoke to find lit was not all a
dream"
A movement is on foot, to prepare
the Cadet Corps for trip to MT.

mencement. We earnestly hope this

time TO do it. Let everyone rally to
help the Major in his commendable
enterprise.
The average students head has
more of base ball in it at the present
time than of Greek, Latin or Mathe-
MATES. The boys are gathering q
nine to eclipse the Morgantown nine.
We even heard an enthusiastic prep.
declare the faculty was n. e.. be-
cause it did not organize itself into
a base ball club, and challenge these
one-horse colleges of our State. We
suppose they would call themselves
some appropriate name, as the "Six
Day Nine" "Heavy MARKERS" etc.
The props. have formed nine which
we suggest they call "Small Potatoes,
hard to dig"
Anything that creates desire for
pure literature among the students
