Tucson, AriZ., March 13.-(Special Correspondence of The Republlcan.)-- Although it rained heavily for four or five hours last Friday night the atten- dance at the regular meeting of the Philomatheon society was fairly large. During the evening Prof. Smith spoke of the Advantages and Results of Higher Education" His discourse was very instructive as well as highly en- tertaining. He related some of his eX- periences since his graduation and told of the fare of his classmates in the work-a-day world, "all of whom now fill responsible position excepting me, as he expressed it. The usual programme was varied by the addition of an interesting debate, the subject being, Resolved That China Was Jus tifed Tn Her Action Toward the Pow CTS" Messrs. Campbell and Whipple represented the affirmative, and Park CT and Olney. the negative. The de- bate was not decided. The audience was further entertained by an instru- mental solo by Miss Wood, and a reel tation by MT. c. Olney
 Last week was a gay time in Tue son in a social way. There were dances on both Friday and Saturday nights, at all of which the university was repre- scented. Friday evening the Daughters of Rebeckah held forth at the A. O. U. w. hall, and there was also a dance at the natitorium, while Friday the Elks gave @ dance at their quarters, and the Clover Leaf club at the opera house. The disagreeable weather Fri day night kept many within doors, all though the sale of tickets for both oc- casions was large. The night are be- coming such now that the campus Is greatly enlivened by parties of stu dents bent on enjoyment and making night hideous" with their college songs.
 During the past two weeks the fol- lowing essays have been read before the assembly: "The Tempe Normal School" Miss Holmesley; "A Mountain Trip" Bertram Smith: "The Advance of Science" Fred Christy: "The Life of Shakespeare" Miss Ruth Brown.
 The late trip of the cadets to Phoe- nix has brought out many amusing cir cumstances whi,h are the cause of never ending jest among theranks. For instance, the night at Maricopa, when beds could not be had for love or money, is ridicuously referred 10 as the Battle of Maricopa;" and a battle it really was, for few winks of much- needed sleep for those who enjoyed any sleep at all were either lacking in humor or very philosophic. Prof. Guild who had just returned from his trip east, where he inspected the govern ment hints for the government, met us at the depot, and although tired by a long journey, joined the party and visited Phoenix with them. Other members of the faculty who visited the capitol were: Miss Hoover, Miss Turn CT Mrs. Aguirre, Prof. Smith and Prof. Adams. Quite party of lady students took advantage of the cadet excur- sion.
 It is with pleasure. that the students note the action of the legislature i'I making the wearing of cadet Gaifcm by expelled students a misdemeanor and punishable by law. They are also greatified by the motion which created the military organization part of the National Guard of Arizona. The signal corps will take up the study of tele- graphy this week and before the year is out hope to be able to perform all the details of that body as set down in the army regulations
 It is quite likely that field day will be contested between the Tucson and varsity track team some time early in May. Some talking has suggested the idea of asking the Tempe normal and Phoenix high school teams to enter Tn the contest. If this works Itself into reality the day will be the largest of athletic sports seen in the old pueblo for many years. Tennis seems to be demanding the attention of those inter ested. now that the weather is so in- vi;ing to such a sport.
 Miss Foucar who has been agaln confined in the hospital. is once more in possession of her health and classes.
 Mir. Edwin Andrews has been called home to San Francisco, on account of failing health.
 Mir. Dabney of Glendale is late ar rival at the university, and is entered in the mining course.
