Dr. C. G. Howland was looking over the University Monday with Prof. Marsh. The Doctor is a hearty supporter of the University, and is deeply interested in the progress made by the great western institution. He has donated to the Library the complete publication of the "Nation" in 46 volumes, handsomely bound, besides many other valuable editions. Dr. Howland will continue to place in the Library at the end of each year, the issues for the year of the Nation.

To the Courier:
Allow me to say through your columns that in my estimation White should be a little more exact in the choice of his profanity, then he will not make such a deplorable mistake as he did the other day. He can get a school edition of Webster's Dictionary for $1.00. He had better take Street's dollar and buy one.
A Visitor.
Mr. E. W. Cantrell, a law student at the University, was seriously injured Friday night while returning home, by stepping through a hole in the sidewalk on Quincy street, along the south side of the Lewis lumber yard.

The Burlington Chronicle speaking of the entertainment given in that city on October 10, compliments Miss Hutchings and the Professor very highly, and closes as follows: "The lecture by Prof. McDonald was entertaining throughout and showed his familiarity with the subject of music. We trust Professor McDonald and Miss Hutchings will again honor our city with a visit. They will always be welcome.
It is amusing to note how one sided are some people's natures. Last week our electotyped contemporary, the Times, came out with a great rush about the Upshaw matter, mentioning only two of the four University boys implicated in the affair, because they were distantly connected with the Courier; and the other two, "Oh! my, it would never do to expose them, because they belong to our side." "O! Consistency thour art our side." "O! Consistency thour art our side."

Philological Club.
The Philological club held its regular meeting last evening. Prof. Wilcox read a paper on "The Temple at Corinth," showing by drawings on the board the temples revealed by recent excavations under the directions of Dr. Doerfeld. This temple is especially interesting in what it contributes to our knowledge of the development of Doric architecture.
Prof. Marsh spoke of the present outlook of poetry, his remarks being suggested by letters of Charles Eliot Norton, which he read to the club. It is Prof. Norton's opinion that we have seen the last of the line of great poets—at least that neither of the generations now living will reveal one. An interesting discussion followed, and was quite generally participated in. There was a large number of members and visitors present.

All About That Book.
Some time ago, after the president of the Oratorical Association had signed, Mr. Street called on the president and asked him to loan him (Mr. Street) the Secretary's book long enough to look up some points in the constitution. The request was compiled with, of course, supposing them to be honest and fair. Meanime Street held a sub rosa meeting and elected himself secretary, and he now refused to return them to the proper owner. Wednesday night Mr. Mushrush, who is chairman of the executive committee, called and asked to see the book. When it was shown to him, of course, took charge of it. An hour later a large crowd assembled on Mount Oread, but for what purpose we do not know.
Mr. Street, however, entered the house and demanded the book, using such ungentlemanny language that Mr. Mushrush, Sr., was compelled to remove him from the house. Mr. Kellogg, who remained, acted very gentlemanly about the matter, and to him Mr. John Mushrush agreed to submit the question of right to any three disinterested lawyers in Lawrence Thursday morning at ten. But they did not accept the proposition, we are informed.
