Prof. Canfield's political economy class have at last decided that it takes over $1,200 a year for a man to live and support a family as he should. It is very interesting to walk down the street and see the men who spend $100 a year for books, shoveling dirt, or loafing on a dry goods box.
John Manning, of this years graduating class of the Musical Department, has charge of the musical part of Lane University, at LeCompton.

Prof. W.H.Carruth started Saturday afternoon for Cambridge, Mass., where he will spend a year in Harvard College, devoting himself to special language studies. His place at the University will be filled during his absence by Mrs.Carruth, who, as Miss Frances Sehlegel, so acceptably filled the chair for eight years prior to her marriage. While Prof. Carruth will be much missed in many circles, his friends all rejoice that he is to have the opportunity for further work in the line of studies in which he has already distinguished himself.

By steady playing and excellent placing, Farrish finished the round in two sets, winning each with a score of 6-2.
There is a remarkable dearth of parties this year. It is probably due to the fact that the ladies are not giving any "rushing parties." Hence the gentlemen do not feel under any obligations.
Last Friday evening the august faculty of the University made a successful attempt to warm the house of their fellow member, Professor "Capt." Franklin. Those present enjoyed themselves hugely, especially at that part of the proceedings usually termed "refreshments." The high order of the eatables was due to the culinary efforts of Professor Adelain Rudolph and Mrs. Professor McDonald. Under the influence of these viands Prof. Snow was prevailed upon to sing his celebrated zoological song, performed at least "373 times before the crowned heads of Europe." At a late hour the meeting adjourned, leaving the residence of the Professor greatly heated.

Am., T. E. Reed, Neg., H. F. M. Bear,
Professor Marsh announced to his
Shakspere class last week that he
would, on Saturday evening, read
Othello to those who would meet him
in the library at seven o'clock in the
evening. Upon his arrival at the
appointed time he found his class
assembled, together with a large
number of interested visitors. The
class begun the study of Othello this
week, therefore the object of this
reading was to give those who had
not heard the play on the stage or read
it through continuously, an opportunity
to get a connected idea of the
whole, before they began a critical
study of it in parts.
The play was read by acts, only a slight pause intervening. Professor Marsh accomplished what is so difficult to do. He kept in perfect harmony with each character by appropriately changing his voice and to some extent facial expression. To portray in rapid transition the gentle Desdamonia, the cunning Iago, and the "constant loving, noble" Moor is, not considering the physical strain very difficult to achieve.
Ackley is local editor on the Tribune.
The hearers thoughtful of the proverb and the reader were strictly attentive, and therefore instructively and pleasurably entertained. The students certainly owe Professor Marsh thanks for his uniring interest in their behalf.
