THE BAYLESS MERCANTILE CO. College World. January 26 is the day of prayer for colleges. New England colleges have an Inter-Collegiate Press Association. Twenty-one Freshmen are training for the Harvard crew. There are twelve students from the United States at Oxford University, Eng. Almost all studies are elective at Amherst after the first term Sophomore year. Harvard, for the first time since '82, holds the second place in the foot-ball league. Joseph Pulitzer, of the New York World, advocates chairs of journalism in our colleges. The Freshmen of the University of Michigan are considering the adoption of the cap and gown. The nine students suspended from Williams on account of hazing young Choate, have been reinstated. At the Yale gymnasium there is a separate dressing room for the candidates for the Mott Haven team. The following is the Freshman cheer at Williams: Hella-ba-loo-whoo-rah; hella-ba-loo-whoo-rah; I-want-to-go-home-boo-hoo; mamma! papa. During next term a lecture will be given every week at Cornell by some distinguished non-resident lecturer. Junior taking leave of his best girl: "Pardon me, but you must really acquit the uncontrolled bent of my cupidity. I believe I'll kiss you." Fun runs high between the two lower classes at Cornell. The Sophomores spoiled an attempt of the Freshman class to have their picture taken, by marching in front of the class before the camera. The Cornell Sun complains of the attitude of the Faculty in dropping the athletic men at the examinations. It says that Cornell does not hold the position in athletic sports to which her size entitles her. Yale athletes have divided themselves into four squads for practicing. Long distance runners, short distance runners, jumpers and shot and hammer throwers. Each of these squads is under the direction of a leader. Six of last year's Harvard nine presented themselves as candidates this year's nine; this, together with the new candidates, gives Harvard a very promising outlook for the spring. Bates,'91, is a promising pitcher, and Henshaw and Knowlton will make two phenomenal catchers It is to be hoped that in the approaching oratorical contest at Baldwin that no judge will so far forget his proper duties at that time as to let his predjudices on political questions influence his decision. Our man is strictly non-partisan, and in order that he may have justice, for justice is our place, we desire that his oration shall be treated from a fair and impartial standpoint. In writing this we do not desire to cast any reflections upon any of the judges. Far from it. But since Mr. Stebbins has delivered his oration it has been characterized by some as a Mugwump document. At least such was not the gentleman's intention, to our positive knowledge. And for fear that such report might reach the ears of the judges we take this opportunity of warning them against it. We believe Stebbins will get there strictly upon his merits. His oration is one of good sound sense and should not be confounded with the cheap phrased, "spread eagle" style of orations. And we are to be congratulated on having men for judges who are not to be influenced by such balderdash. M. One of the crying needs or the University at the present time is a Professor of Elocution. True, we have two professors in English, but their time is fully occupied in the work of their department. Besides, if they had the time, it is to be supposed that a good professor of English will also make a good elocationist? The value of all knowledge gained here is determined by the ability of the student to communicate it. Without the necessary training in this line, his knowledge and his ability will be underrated. The University cannot afford to send forth graduates without at least giving them a chance to cultivate this faculty of communication. For by it will the merits of our institution be measured; by it our institution will be defended; and by it our interests will be promoted. By means of such training, coupled with sterling merit and the valuable assistance of college training our men are bound to succeed in public life. And our men placed in the legislative halls are the men who will do us good. Again, it is absured to try to run a first class institution without elocutionary training. True, justice is justice in whatever garb it may appear. But how much more pleasing to the eye is the plea of justice when clothed in beautiful language and adorned with brilliant rhetoric! Let us then, by all means, have a first class instructor in elocution. One who has obtained a national reputation; and one who will place this necessary department on a level with the other well conducted departments of our University. M. THE LAWRENCE HOUSE!
