The young ladies' of st. Faiths Guild
were h~ostesses at a most charming re.
ception given last Saturday evening In
the assembly room OF the Episcopal
church. Almost all those connected
with the university were present, and
a singular lack of constraint was noted
throughout the evening. A little farce
entitled -Dr. Psyche, M. D" was ably
presented by the guild members and
was heartily enjoyed by all. Follow.
ing this. partners were secured in a
novel manner, and each person wrote
a poem about his or her victim. The
reading Of these masterpieces follow
ed, and great was the hilarity caused
thereby. Delicious refreshments wero
served by the young ladies, who thus
added the browning glory to a most
p%leasurable evening.

The Office of observer at the weather
station has been transferred from
Frank Smith to Prof. Bells Of the
physics department. Prof. Bells has
not done very well this week. in the
matter of weather, but it is thought
that he will oon become as gracious
as Frank Smith has been.
coo
at a special assembly, held Monday
afternoon, Hon. F. S. Monnett spoke
to the student body upon his recent
fight with the standard Oil company.
The able address was interspersed
with cleverly told anecdotes of college
life, and was highly appreciated by all
the students. Mr.. Monnett spoke in
very complimentary terms of the work
of Prof. knight and Prof. Reed. and al
so of the brilliant prospects which lie
before Wyoming and the university.
@ Q
1t Is not often that college men al
low themselves to be out.stripped by
goods, but in the matter of DEBATING
clubs, they are in danger of being dis
tanced. Efforts have been made to re-
organize last years debating club, but
that society has proved to be irresus-
citably dead. 1t Is now the plan, how.
ever, to organize a new one, with a
limited membership.

Q Q Q
Great difficulty has been experience
this week in keeping the minds OF
the male members OF the Faculty upon
their classes. The fascination OF see
ing the barn.torn down has proved too
much for their powers of %concentra-
ton, but, of course, has not affected in
the least the superior capacities
of the preparatory students. The
building will be used as a granary at
the agronomist farm.
