COLLEGE DEPARTMENT..

men, one Of the Sophomore and two Of
the Senior academic. took a trip to the
Cheyenne Friday last for a day Of sport
with the geese reported to be there.
After walking about all forenoon with
out a sight of game of any kind, they
concluded to visit Cascade and Chey-
enne Falls. Having seen these places,
which they report to have been quite a
sufficient remuneration for the days
labor. they proceeded about two miles
when one of the horses suddenly be-
am excited and broke the double tree.
Then away went the team. The
drivers followed plunging forward
with grace and elegance and landed on
the tongue, heads down. After run.
ming about two miles with the boys in
pursuit, the team turned round and
came back to the poor fellows, evident
ly having taken pity on their loneliness.
BY the aid Of a halter strap and one
whole single tree, one horse was hitch
ed to the buggy and on foot the trio
started homeward. This becoming
tiresome the owner of the outfit pro-
posed that he should ride the horse
that was not hitched, and that the
other two boys should ride in the
buggy. But the roads were bad and
they couldn't. Two was too much for
m horse with the hunting parapher-
nalla and SO one rode while the other
walked. They proceeded in this way
about twenty steps when the horse,
never having been ridden before,
showed his objection by jumping over
the tug and breaking it. That settled
all hope Of riding. About five in the
evening three weary, travel stained
students entered town having had a
tramp of 10 miles and not q goose
except themselves.
A company of students held a leap
! year party at Professor Stinson's last
Friday night. A good many we're
present. The ladies acted their parts
mort gracefully. An especial feature
was an hour devoted to talking on a
given subject, five minutes being al
lowed to each speaker. A very pleas
ant evening was spent and not unit!
~ O'Clock did the ladies leave the gen.
tlcmen safe at their homes.
Afew familiar faces were not in
thelrplaces Tuesday morning but some
arrived during the week and we hope
to see most of the others back in a few
days.
Mr.. Gldlcy accepted a position with
a surveying party and consequently
| he will not be in school this term.
Five new students were registered
Tuesday morning: Messrs. Varney and
Vincent, Miss Wilson and Mrs. w. HI.
Stanley Jr., all of Hot Springs, and
Mr.. Daniels of Crawford, Neb.
All the former students in the sub
preparatory department have returned
and two new mes have also entered.
On account of sickness Miss White
was not present Tuesday.
Mr.. Hare received an average stand
ing of SO per cent for last term which
is the best grade given since t e school
opened.
President Hancher went to Rapid
Saturday and returned Monday.
A large number of students are en-
rolled in the music department and
the professor has about all she can do.
Tuesday the spring term of school
at the college opened. The registra.
ton up to noon of that day showed a
total Of fifty students, an increase of
fourteen over the first day of last
spring term. But this must not
be taken as an indication that there
will be but fifty students at the college
this term. Some were detained at
home by sickness and other unavoid.
able causes. Then too, new students
frequently enter a week or more
after the opening of the term. While
the total number of students may not
be so great for this as for last term,
yet it is now assured that it will be
considerable in excess Of the number
enrolled during the corresponding per
iod last pear.
The professors were all busy Tues.
day morning assigning work and
making other preparations. The jul
NOR academies begin this term will
Caesar. 1t is not to be expected that
this author will be very difficult fol-
the class as they are already somewha1

academic class will continue with Vlr
gil and 1t is the intention to finish iv'
books of the Aenead. The sophomore

In mathematics a class will begil

ratio equations; the class that bega,
algebra last term will go as far as in
discriminate coeficients the presen
term. The senior academies will fms

some time left for comic sections. Th
advanced class in mathematics, havin
finished ANALYTICAL geometry last terr
