Local.
Lost—A Caesar.
Now for that turkey!
Who said the Courier was waning?
Can't somebody grease that siren?
It squeaks.
There was a quiz in Freshman Geometry last Friday.
The class in literature has finished the "Merchant of Venice."
Friday evening was a red letter night for the societies.
The Political Economists enjoyed a three days' quiz last week.
The new piano for Athenaeum was placed in Oread hall last Friday.
The Mikado was emphatically a success. Many students took it in.
Prof. and Mrs.Sayre entertained the Old and New club Friday evening.
The Sophomore Latins have finished the satires and epistles of Horace.
Hon. W. R. Cone, while in the city last week gave his subscription for the COURIER.
L. A. Stebbins will soon resign his position of editor-in-chief on the Tribune.
The Freshman Greek class has commenced upon the third book of the Iliad.
Prof. Wilcox lectured before Trinity Guild last Monday, on "Modern Home Life in Greece."
The sub-Freshman English class had final quizes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Mikado is billed to again show at Bowersock's Opera House Monday, December 3.
No 12.
The union meeting, at Plymouth church, Sunday evening,was attended by a large number of students.
Hon. Geo. R. Peck's opening address has been published in pamphlet form by the faculty.
He who can swallow a Times joke and yet succeed in controlling his risibles is surely a being extraordinary
The social side of college life has not been the least neglected by University students the last week.
It is earnestly hoped that no student will be found so rash as to open a text book during the holiday. Let us make our vacation one of entire rest.
Quizes have been showered upon us all week. Let us hope we have nearly reached their end.
Prof. Blake's siren is a continual source of enjoyment(?) to the classes of the adjoining recitation rooms.
The electrical engineering department is expecting to soon receive a new supply of tools and instruments.
E. L. Ackley has resigned his position on the Tribune and is now reading "Bishop on Contracts" with the Juniors.
W. S. Wolly, of last year's University law class, is now practicing his profession in Moscow, Idaho Territory.
Silva, the well known fortune teller, will be one of the attractions at the charity fair to be held in the near future.
The sub-Freshman Algebra class kept up with the times by enduring a trial examination in their department last week.
It is reported that White has written another poem. Oh Billy, what have we done that so much should be inflicted upon us?
The library will be open during Thanksgiving vacation, for the convenience of those students who remain in Lawrence.
The young ladies' gymnasium now comprises twenty members. The class will probably give an exhibition some time in Christmas week.
It is hoped that all necessary repairing will be finished during our vacation. The continual hammering about the buildings during the time of class recitations is becoming very annoying.
To-day's lessons were not the best, but pardon our delinquencies, professors. A good, big dinner will rectify our temporary shortcomings.
The Telegraph club has recently printed a new catalogue of its members and their respective calls. The club now numbers twenty five members, the number which was established as the limit of membership.
The character of "supe," in the Mikado was well taken and faithfully interpreted by Earl Swope. Mr. Swope carefully brought out the minutest details of his part, and he was the recipient of many floral tributes from admiring friends.
Last Wednesday afternoon the ladies of the Senior class brought up to the University a large amount of delicious cake, which remained from the Senior party of the previous evening, and they carefully stowed it within the mysterious recesses of the ladies' dressing room. Imagine the surprise and disappointment of those stately ladies when it was discovered later that the wily Juniors had visited and had departed with their booty.
The University Junior Law Class met last Friday, at the University, and organized. The following officers were then elected: President, A. L. Wilmthot; vice-president, Thomas Flannelly; secretary and treasurer, P. L. Swatzell; sergeant-at-arms, Mr. Power; historian, Mr. Caughey; poet, Mr. Renrenher; prophet, A. C. Markley.
Do not risk your health by neglecting to get one of those chest protectors at Raymond & Dick's.
Thanksgiving vacation extends till Tuesday, December 4, in order to give students time to return.
Try a sample bottle of King's Discovery for coughs and colds, at Raymond & Dick's.
The Pi Beta Phis will entertain their friends on the evening of December 7, at the residence of Hon. Henry Tisdale. That the fortunate recipients of the neat invitations will enjoy themselves to the utmost limit goes wi'hon saying.
If any of the professors of language will translate the following it will greatly relieve the editor: "Webyto othrb usbe sofr agm ondnddi ck."
C. M. Emm, of the Senior Class, will read a paper before the Unity club next Friday night on the subject "A Russian School Boy's Literature." Mr. Emm is one of the most entertaining writers in the University, and those who bear him will enjoy a treat.
If there is anything in the world that is annoying and "aggravoking," it is to have the bristles of one's tooth brush come out into the mouth. A tooth brush has been invented that is free from such faults. We might say two, the Ideal Felt and Bailey's Rubber. Both sold by Raymond & Dick.
If the authorities would take it upon themselves to light the gas in halls, between the hours of five and six, the kind deed would be greatly appreciated. It is a little, a very little, trying on one's temper to be obliged to grope about after one's hat in total darkness. Let some one see to this.
The members of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity will celebrate, tonight, their sixth anniversary. They will have a banquet at the Delmonico and enjoy themselves generally. This fraternity may well celebrate its anniversary, for it has won many friends and been very successful since its establishment.
The question discussed by the Seniors at moot court, Monday, was: "Can a School Board prevent a boy from attending school because he has refused to study grammar as required by the prescribed course of study." Shuman and Workman were the attorneys for the plaintiff, Gray and Murphy for the defendant.
By the recently printed circulars, it is seen that the faculty intend to abolish entirely the present preparatory department by the year '91-92. This action will not only serve to raise the standard of our own school, but it will also tend to urge-forward the further enlargement of the courses of high schools all over the State. It is certainly a step in the right direction.
