of the cold climate beer is never the So
cial beverage, this position being rath-
er monopolized by ''punsch," which on
account of it's strength is slipped In only
! very small quantities. Its strength Is
concealed by it's sweetness, as some
German students, who lately visited
Upsala, found to their grief They mis-
| took "punsch' for Swedish beer; the
following morning their swelled heads
proclaimed their mistake.
! Not few foreign students are found
| in Upsaa, some coming even from
America The American colony here
this year numbers five members, in
Guiding graduates Of Harvard, Yale
and two western colleges. During the
winter Mr.. Mott a graduate of Cornell,
who has often appeared at Dwight Hail,
visited the Y. M. c. A. at Upsala, and
| delivered series Of stirring addresses
| to large student audiences.
Every second or third year a Latin
play is rendered by students of the clas-
cicaI department. This year they
played to a crowded house some scenes
from Plautus' "Pseudoloss" in Latin
and all of "Mostellaria" in the vernac-
ular. It was exceedingly interesting to
notice and feel how the venerable
raeco-Roman plot and jests fairly
warmed this northern audience into en-
thusiasm.
/ Is there no one thing in which the
/ students of Upsola excel? At one OF
| the Paris expostions they won the
worlds prize for their singing, and on
this one object they still concentrate
all their affection and their energies
Every student who can sing at all joins
the common choir. Wednesday evening
after practice this large chorus marches
from Assembly Hall to Market square
all the way singing some CHEEKY student
song Here they gather round the can
delabra and sing some patriotic songs
before dispensing. At these occasions
all Upsala is on its feet, the streets ana
Market square are crowded with peo-
ole, who listen in silence to the unique
performance The song of the students
also graces all festivities connected
with the university or patriotic celebra-
tons.
one of the highest honors student
can obtain is to be selected member of
o D. (the initials signifying the lads OF
Orpheus), the Glee club par excellence
At times this Glee club tours not only
this kingdom, but also neighporing
countries; last summer they were feted
all through Germany, the emperor pc
slowing the order Of the Red Eagle on
their leader the composer Heldinblad.
They have often thought of extending
their tour to the United States where
their country-woman, Jenny Lind,
scored euch great triumphs; no doubt
Yale. too. would give them a hearty
welcome.
The greatest festival of the year IS
The Nav concert The students stand IN
Mine all night to buy tickets, visitors
flock from all over the country. sisters
and sweethearts in their most attrac-
tive toilets make the gray old UNIVERSE
ty town look gay and cheerful; teas
and germans are arranged-all remind
ing one wildly of the promenade con-
cert at New Haven
In coming to the University of Krist1-
ana or Copenhagen the student atmos-
nhere is quite different from that OF
JTpsa,a. In fact the universities of Co
nenhagen and Kristiana may well be
claesed together as compared with the
universities of Sweden Kristiana,

situated is the large city OF Norway.
