Before the girls come we would
suggest change in the library and
reading room. The reading room
should be enlarged and provided
with sofas. In fact, we think that
No. 10 and the library should be
merged into library, reading room
and book store. Then some one
should be paid to attend and keep
things properly arranged. In this
way the library would be of far more
value to the students. In perusing
a magazine or other periodical, one
not unfrequently stumbles on words,
principles and new ideas which he
cannot properly grasp without re-
course to some work of reference.
Now if the library and reading room
were united the student would have
this double advantage.
Student Right has taken bust
ness trip to Parkersburg, where he
will remain-well, till the roses come,
at least.
1t is somewhat amusing to see the
members of the Oratorical Society
reading their published reports of
their meetings. OF course a member
did not write it.
Student Sivey has acquired the
title of ''the pie speculator. Any
one can get good second hand
piece Of mince for &c or of pumpkin
for &c.
Prot. Purinton gave his classes a
large treat of metaphysics Monday,
supposing them to have become very
hungry during his absence. The
boys were glad to see their esteemed

they could have lived awhile longer
with no lesson.
Prof. Berkeley's classes in Inter

gentlemen are reminded of it in
very courteous terms.

Prof. Wiley is booked for here's
a Woman in it" at the Presbyterian
Thursday evening, the 2lst
Something good is expected and
something good will be given. We
are informed by the lecture commit
tee that DR.. Willis has accepted
to deliver his Sunshine"

special April II. Seventy dol
lars for the first and seventy dollars

Indiana, is expected to follow in

band, lecture prepared especially
to follow DR.. Willis "Model Wife"
1t is an humorous production
II the college opens its doors next
year to the ladies, where are they to
room? Nearly all the good rooms
in town that are for rent are now en-
gagged. 1t is surely but matter of
Justice and right to the young ladies
Of West Virginia to offer them some
inducements at home for a higher
education than is secured in our
Normals. The division line that
separates the pro and con co educa-
ors among the students Is almost
lat which privileges them to speak
m experience in o-education in
til Normals and other Academies
anv Colleges, as against those who
have never attended mixed schools
of young ladies and gentlemen. Is
there love enough in the hearts of
the husbands and lovers of West Vir-
ginia for their fair friends to
see that their educational liberties
are not cramped by the narrow plea
Of mot physically able" or the still
narrower one mot morally strong
enough" to become classmates of the
young men, to stand up now when
their interests are being considered
