HOADLEY & SMITH.

Pharmacy.
What magical attraction keeps Armstrong away from the laboratory so much lately?

Law.
Everybody is peaceable and prosperous in the law classes this week, excepting Pollock and McIravy. Pollock has sworn to Almighty Kent and Blackstone to have revenge on those girls that stood at the window and stole a smile from him, which appears in the Junior class picture. McIravy don't know what got him in the notion to laugh just as French caught the picture, therefore he has not sworn vengeance on any special one.
Rice and Fiddler were courting before His Honor, the Justice of the Peace in two different cases Saturday.
The law library now contains 1066 volumes, not of oblate authorities but of standard law books, such as are found in the best law libraries in the land. The greater part of the works are owned by private parties.
From the large number of inquiries being made in regard to the law school we are able to predict a good attendance for next year. Those of the collegiate department who intend to take law should investigate the inducements offered here.

Athenacum.
Owing to threatening weather the attendance was not as large as usual last Friday. However, a good program was rendered. The current event essay took up the Henry George land theory which elicited considerable discussion. The debate, "Resolved, that an editor is justifiable in selling the influence of his paper" was decided in the affirmative. The music furnished the society was unusually good and the thanks of the society are due those who gave it.
To-day Athenaeum will meet in Orophilian hall in joint program at 4 o'clock. Everybody come.

Prof. Sayre entertained the Senior class of the Pharmacy Department at his residence Friday evening.
An important part of the presbytery's business was the licensure of Mr. J. E. Curry to preach the gospel. It need hardly be said that Mr. Curry is a son of Mr. D. S. Curry, one of our most enterprising farmers. After graduating at the State University at Lawrence, Mr. Curry spent a winter in the theological seminary in Edinburgh, Scotland; and last winter in Princeton, New Jersey. His sermon at the opening of the presbytery on Tuesday evening was delivered to a crowded house of attentive listeners. It was commended by members of presbytery and others as a very creditable effort. We understand that he is to spend next winter and complete his theological course in the U.P. theological seminary of Yorkia Ohio Ex
Mr. Curry was a member of the class of '86.
The faculty met Wednesday evening and, after listening to the report of the committee on orations, appointed the following Seniors to appear on commencement: W. S. Allen, A. May. Churchill, T. F. Doran, W. E. Higgins and J. A. Prescott. The appointments were based on class standing, merits of orations and ability to speak. The above list is arranged in alphabetical order and signifies nothing in regard to rank
W. H. Brown left Tuesday morning; he will spend several days in Leavenworth and some weeks at his home at Polk City, Iowa, before going to Washington. It is to be hoped that he will soon return thereby compensating the University for the loss of one of its best and most energetic students.
Commencement is drawing near and Bromelsick would be pleased to show you his new straw hats before that time.
