We don't object to having the city papers copy our locals if they give us credit, but we do object when a paper copies our local column and sends it out over the state as their own. It seems to us that they are entirely lacking in even common newspaper courtesy.
The Oberlin Glee Club will be here on Dec. 26th, and from all reports we are lead to believe that it is one of the best on the road. They are all trained musicians and will introduce some features differing from the common. It is unfortunate for our students that they are to appear here during vacation, but we would urge upon all who are in town to be sure and attend. The club would be pleased to meet as many as possible of our students after the concert.
Football in the East.
As the western people obtained their knowledge of the game of football from the east, they are more or less interested in the teams of that section of the country. For the past six years some authority in the east has picked what he considered a team which would be composed of the eleven best players, which was to be called the "All American" team. A careful study of the playing of the men during the season is taken and a short time after the last game has been played the above mentioned team is chosen, simply as an honor.
Mr. Caspar Whitney of the Harpers Weekly has chosen the following men as members of the All American team for 1894.
Butterworth, full, and Capt. Yale.
Knipe, half back, U. of Penn.
Brooke, half back, U. of Penn.
Adee, quarter back, Yale.
Stillman, centre, Yale.
Wheeler, guard, Princeton.
Hickok, guard, Yale.
Waters, tackle, Harvard.
Lea, Tackle, Princeton.
F. Hinkey, end, Yale.
Gilbert, end, U. of Penn.
SUBSTITUTES.
Beard, Yale; Wharton, U. of Penn; A. Brewer Harvard; Holly, Princeton, for the line. Ohl, Cornell; C. Brewer, Harvard; Thorne, Yale; Ward, Princeton; behind the line.
The Non-Ringster Pin.
The Non-Ringster Committee can not but be flattered by the reception with which their report has been met. All seem to appreciate their efforts in securing such a suitable design, at such a small cost to the students. Of course there are a few who are dissatisfied because their own design was not adopted, but as a whole the students are well pleased. We are glad that at last the University has an emblem which can be worn by its students at any time and place. There is no necessity for any student to be without a pin at this reasonable charge and we hope all will provide themselves with one as speedily as possible.
Bible Lectures.
Under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., a course of lectures on the Bible has been arranged. These lectures will be given by different Professors of the University, and are to begin in January just after the close of the Christmas vacation. The course will include:

There will be one lecture each week, on Wednesday at 5 o'clock, at the University. Students, city people and all interested are invited to attend.

Language Conference.
At the meeting of the Conference, Dec. 14, Mr. Dickinson read a paper on the "Philotas" of Lessing. Philotas written after Greek models is a one act tragedy on a patriotic subject. The young prince Philotas captured by the enemy decides he may best serve his country by taking his own life. Pity instead of admiration is aroused for the young man. He dies commending himself to the goddess of Peace as her
