SUCCRIBE for the COURIER and get the Universety news each week. It will be hard for you to keep posted about what is taking place if you do not.
THE project for a University ball is receiving a great deal of favorable comment. If it be decided to give one just before the Thanksgiving vacation let the various commissitie be appointed at once and the affair be made one that will be a credit. If managed rightly, it will be an exceedingly pleasant occasion and also net a nice sum for the athletic interests.
The sidewalk up Admas street is in a dangerous condition and should be fixed before winter sets in. If allowed to remain as it is now a very bad accident is liable to occur at almost any time. There surely should be a good approach to the University from this direction. It is sometimes hard enough to climb the hill anyhow without having to look on all the time for loose boards and dangerous places.
SINCE a Glee Club has been organized why should we not have a mandolin, guitar and banjo club? If entertainments are to be given for the University by the Glee Club, they could be made much more interesting by the introduction of some good mandolin and guitar music. In fact no music takes better at the various Univerity gatherings. Let some player make a start at organization and we have no doubt but that a good club would result. Who will have enough enthusiasm for the University to make the attempt?
It should be a matter or congratulation to all that the University has at last $ ^{a} $ a well organized Glee Club. It is something of which we have all felt the need. Prof.Penny deserves the thanks of the studetus for his work in organizing the club and under his efficient management the club will be an honor to the University. We cannot expect too much from it at the start, but we can expect that its influence will be felt more and more. Not only will the chapel singing and consequently the exercises become more interesting, but the club will advertise the University in a manner that will be very beneficial. A well organized Glee Club is a necessary part of every eastern college and we shall expect to derive the same good result from ours. Three cheers for the Glee Club!
The presence of colored hood-lums on the ball grounds has got to be stopped. The University Athletic Association has a lease on the grounds and these fellows have no right on them, yet in spite of all this it is almost impossible for any small number of sutidents to use the grounds without having it made very disagreeable if not altogether impossible to proceed with games of any kind. A great many times students have left the grounds rather than have the fuss with the
hoodlums which they knew would be inevitable. Not only this, but if there is any match game being played these loud mouthed hoodlums make themselves so obnoxious that decent people do not like to attend. The University students do not wish to have any trouble with these fellows but if the city authorities do not see that sufficient police protection is afforded for the ball grounds, trouble is apt to ensue at any time. A town and gown feud if once started would be both deplorable and fought with dangerous consequences. A little prompt action on the part of the city authorities in connection with the University authorities will put a stop to this nusance at once. We hope for the good of all concerned that it will be done.

--speech, pay the best part of a dollar, and sit the best part of a night, smile at the chestnut, approve the diluted philosophy, and retire in good order commending a performance of which fortunately they bear away no memories save those which attach to the dresses of the audience or the whiskers of the lecturer.
The following able editorial from the Record about lectures, is too good not to be more generally circulated. It fits the lecture that was delivered in town last week entitled "Pluck" to a T. The editorial is entitled "Bosh" and is as follows:
"The unquestioned success of some men upon the lecture platform gives a herd of mediocres a pretext and an opening to rush over the country and recite platitudes from school books. One of these literary trumps will take "Sand" as a title and subject, and declaim upon the immense value of "sand" in the human composition. Hannibal had sand when he crossed the Alps, and an eloquent culogy upon the great Carthagenian follows. Napoleon was blessed with a surplus of sand when he crossed the dittio and a ditto ditto is pronounced upon the "Little Corporal." The next adore who steps into the lecture arena is heralded as the champion of "Brains." He lauds Hannibal and Napoleon et sequentes as brim full of Brain and kindles and flings over the platform a hurid shower of phosphorescent sparks as offerings to their memories. Then comes to the same long suffering public a reminiscent pilgrim who insists that "Go" is the watchword of all great achievements. It was "Go" with Hannibal, "Go" with Na. polese and the same old manikins are wheeled into the platform and move their creaky joints, and wag their wooden beads, and are shoved back into the lecturer's property room to shelter rat's nests and colwbews until the next lecture season. Lessons which a Sunday school teacher who understands his business can better illustrate and enforce, are gravely and sol emly taught to people who can prompt and correct the pompous peripatetic better than his indiscontents "ponies." Such men have a trick of style borrowed from some real master of oratory, some points of pose practiced before a mirror wherewith to illuminate a patchwork o stilted rhetoric, of anteducedvian joke and goody-goody sentiment. And so this mangle, people who find no excelence in a really original sermon o
"When George Kennan comes to tel us of Siberia, when Stanley speaks or Africa, when our own Dyche talks of his intrepid search for specimens in British Columbia, the people attend, learn and are profiled, but when the Reverend or Professor Twiddle-Twaddle comes to eak out a reinforcement of his slender salary of a few ten thousand, with a running commentary on historic modies, who are made to illustrate some home-made characteristic to the time and tune of a monosyllabic catch-word, it is in order for some bright satirist to punctate the sham by a lecture on "Bosh," and gather his lay figures from these tramp tinkers who fit the great shades of history upon the crazy frame-work of their fancy, and train them to pose in attitudes as foreign to their characters, as the whole performance is to good taste or true intelligence."
