The class of 80 has no regard for
precedent. Friday they absented them
selves from chapel and discussed the
Thanksgiving reception. They decided
to invite none but university students,
whereas at the former receptions the
students of Hamline and Manchester
have been invited. But, worst of all,
they have declared that they will not
furnish refreshments. Now the sophs
and freshmen have always conSidere
that they were entitled to this one OPP
portunity of gOrging themselves at the
expense of the upper classmen, and
they may be relied upon to enter Wig
orous protest against such shameful
disregard of so hOnored custom. The
reception has been given in former
years by the senior and junior classes
Jointly. Yesterday the juniors met and
decided that if they took a hand in the
matter it should be down up brown,
otherwise they would have nothing to
do with it, A committed was appointed
to confer with a committee from the
seniors, in the hope that the class of $50
may reconsider its action.
The chapel stage was adorned one
morning last week with life-size por-
trait of Gov. Pillsbury, painted by Ben
jamin Eggleston, of this city. After
the usual. chapel services Mr.. kiefer ap-
peared upon the platform and said that
he was agent for the sale of the picture
which he said was worth $1,000, but
which he could dispose of to the stu
dents if each one would pledge 81
towards its payment. Upon a vote
being taken. Mr.. Kiefer declared "The
painting is yours" The GOODNESS with
which il was received was no reflection
upon Gov. PillSbury or the great love
which the students have for him, but
was due to the sudden and unceremOn-
ieHs manner in which the painting was
unloaded upon the student body with
their very vague knowledge of its mer-
its or worth.
The gallant boys at q. of M. will
feel greatly relieved when Mr.. Don
nelly's lecture comes off. Lucky is that
one who has succeeded in passing
through the halls during the past two
weeks without being halted by one of
the jealous fair ones of the Delta Sigma
Literary society, who, with upturned
face and most bewitching smile, be-
sought him to buy a ticket to Mr.. DON
nelly's lecture. How could one resist?
To hear Mr. Donnelly, and on the sub
iect of swift and Humor! Well, l guess
not very many did. There has been
large sale of tickets, and crowded
house is expected at the lecture, which
occurs tomorrow night at All Souls
church.
The following is an address recently
delivered by brilliant Junior before his
class. and supposed to be addressed to
the faculty, asking for an additional
holiday at Thanksgiving time:

past reluctantly return to work.
The new regulation fatigue coat for

There is no end of fraternity gossip
these days. The latest is that Theta

application is receiving favorable con-
sideration. Rumors of the entrance Of
another fraternity are also afioat.
