The Review came out last week and from a literary point of view it was a very creditable number. Its locals and persons were stale. This department of the Review would be much more highly appreciated if it would report only news concerning the alumni. The Northwestern University has offered lots to the Greek letter fraternies that will put up chapter houses, and several are pearing to build. Ex. E. C. Jacoby, editor of the Lane College Echoes, is the Lecompton correspondent of the Lawrence Tribune. The Occident says: "The old story of the large telescope that is going to be built for the Stanford University is now going the rounds of the college press. Although we live quite close to the Stanford University, we have never yet heard of the telescope. We think that the 36-inch lenses of the Lick telescope of the University of California is still the largest in existence, and probably will remain so for many years to come. A very interesting feature of the Illini is that it puts its "gush" articles in one column. Scene at church: He—"Will you please condescend to sacrafe your own convenience for the sake of my extreme felicity, by inserting your five digitals, with a part of your contagious arm into the regular apestum made by bending my elbow against the perpendicular side of my animal frame?" She—"With the most extreme pleasure."—University Lookout. In Latin.—Prof. "Now as to quodam, what is the significance of the termination dam?" Freshman. "Makes it more emphatic, sir."—College Journal. The Muhlenberg, of Allentown, Pa., is on our exchange table. The December number is bright and newsy and reflects credit on its editors. The College Review, of Shurtleff college, Ill., compares o a villainous trick that was recently perpetrated on one of its societies. Some unknown party sprinkled red pepper just before the society convened. At the University of Virginia, ap plause in class-room is very common and consists in kicking against the benches. Many of the students own dogs and bring them to the lecture rooms. Football and tennis are the favorite games at the university. Ex. Johnnie.—“Mamma, is god sitting on his throne up in Heaven?” Mamma.—“Yes, my child.” Johnnie. “And does he stay there always, mamma?” Mamma.—“Always, my son.” Johnnie, thoughtfully. “Mamma, God ain't a Democrat is he?”—Washington Post. The December number of the Emory Phoenix, published at Oxford, Ga. contains an article on the subject" The Sphere of a College Pa. per." The writer says: "College journalism, as well as college secret societies, has grown to be no small factor in making, expressing and controlling the opinions of college students of the present day. A college at the present day without an official periodical of some kind is considered far behind the age in progress and culture. Even many high schools and academies edit and publish a paper of some kind. Harvard publishes a daily paper, others publish semi-weekly and weekly, but the great majority of college journals are published monthly." What is wanted is a system of teaching in the rudiments of Journalism incorporated in the college curriculum as an elective, and the college paper made the means of instruction in practical work. This plan is already in practical operation in one college at least, and is working very successfully. In Cornell University the elements of newspaper work are made a part of the department of rhetoric.—Ex. Hogeboom attended the Entre Nous party last week. Challiss, Otis, Johnson and Fox came down from Atchison Sunday. The friends of L. P. Hill will be glad to learn that he has about recovered from a severe attack of brain fever. G. W.

Alvin Joslin, The New York Journal says: "Charles L. Davis and his excellent Company appeared last evening at the Windsor Theatre in their new play, 'One of the Old Stock.' Everybody made a hit, especially Mr. Davis himself as Uncle Alvin Joslin, an old Vermont farmer. There were four acts, and each act was crowded with taking scenes and tableaux. The dialogue was bright and witty, and kept the anti-nice in the greatest good humor. The story was well and crisply told, and the interest never flagged from the rising to the falling of the curtain." At the Opera House next Monday evening. Seats on sale at J. S.
