 Professor Northrop, who commenced his work as president of the college at Minneap- o1is, Minn., delivered an address before the Y. M. 0. A. there upon "Our Country" We miss the addresses which the professor used to give us here, especially upon such subjects as this, which, particularly at pres ent, interests us all so much
 The other evening some Shelf. juniors went up to the top of East Rock to wait for the freshmen to come and paint their class numerals. However, they waited nearly all night without obtaining any spells, as the freshmen were wary and did not appear. Campaign documents with Compliments of the Woolsey battalion stamped on them were distributed on the campus Monday evening" By this means an entirely new feature of the campaign was presented Es- pecially, the sketch of CleYe1ands states manship and political achievements, which were enlarged upon as much as two entirely blank pages would allow, were noticed This was guaranteedt to be compiled from the re- | cords Another pamphlet contained the re- ply to the address of Carl Schurz, which
 was given in August by Senator Hoar in
 Brooklyn. It is written in both English and German text, and the student now re- joices in even political horse. At a recent meeting of the alumni of Brown steps were taken to provide gynna- sium for the university. Brown has never had gym. of her own and has long felt the need of both building and athletic apparatus. A committee was appointed to raise funds, dHO tuuS Lar GL0 prOJ0C6 udS met WlGn very liberal contributions as several classes have subscribed large sums for this purpose. Last evening Prof. Phillips read paper before the mathematical club explaining a new machine that he has devised for mathe- nautical representations. It proved very enjoyable hour to those present. as his re- marks and explanations were as entertaining and instructive as ever.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: To 4bo4 x-;c-o protest be entered with respect to the man ner in which our class meeting of Saturday October 4th, was conducted; with especial reference to the positively slack and unpar- iamentary course pursued in the selection of class orator. And in justice to Mir. Williams, the defeated candidate, I sincerely desire to as sure you that the action of those in authority is not sanctioned in its entirety by many of his friends. To my personal knowledge 1 am prepared to say that Mr. Shipman was de- clared elected before all the tellers had made their returns I know too that when state candidate was called for the chair, Mir. Vincent, pronounced the call unnecessary, nparlfamentary, or something to that effect with the addendum "He is undoubtedly elected" Now perhaps he elected; the chances are that he was, in fact do not doubt that he was; but we do not know it under the existing facts. Sir, care not to appear in the role of reformer, but the ring-rule bossism, bare faced favor itism, which has characterized so many of our class deliberations has assumed such proportions that further forbearance, without denunciation at least, is impossible Not alone realized the importance of our action when we urged the defeated gentleman, to stand for the nomination. We now ap- preciate the poetic truth,
 q adventure with foolhardy might
 To tread the steps of perilous despite.'
