Notice is hereby given that Will Winn's name will not appear again in this paper after today's issue.
Students and friends of the University will be pleased to learn that Spellman has discarded his noisy shirts for the winter.
Of the football hospital, Armour will be in condition for the Missouri game, Stone, Steinberger and Williamson will play Saturday.
If you see a student exploring alleys with a crafty look in his eye and a mysterious bundle under his arm, don't think he has turned anarchist. He is a prep. medic. on the hunt for cats.
Among the Athletic Ground police the "dandy of the Broadway squad" is J. Francis Kerrigan, who, as Bill White says, will allow no infringment "agin the dignity and'tority of de law."
Corbett's belt is not the only one that has been confiscated in the last week. A certain blonde has accused a young man of stealing her belt while they were out strolling in the moonlight.
An ancient maiden lady felt insulted after "Griff" had made a good play in the Saturday game, when a gang of enthusiastic rooters right behind her yelled "What's the matter with grandma?"
The expression "cookeyshine" is now ostracized at the request of the Pi Phis, with whom it originated. They object to T. N. E. and Beta cookeyshines. "Larupshine" will be substituted.
Martindale, Kelley and Welsh went down to Ottawa and saw the B. U.—M. U. game. They got back in a carriage about 12 p.m. It was 7 o'clock when they went through Baldwin. All the inhabitants were asleep.
We hear from all sides that more space should be given in the COURIER-REVIEW for local news. With all due respect to the other departments of our paper, it must be admitted that the majority of our students are as much interested in the gossip and small talk afloat as they are in the more serious questions that confront us. So give us more room.
The University has just received from Germany a collection of 385 phototypes of Greek and Roman sculpture. Prof. Wilcox is now engaged in sorting and arranging them, putting them in condition for use in illustrating the Greek and Latin studies. These plates show reproductions of both originals and copies of all periods of Greek and Roman art, from the lowest beginning to the finest works. The subjects were selected by Prof. Brunn of Munich, the highest authority on ancient art, and were photographed and reproduced under his immediate direction. As soon as practicable these plates will be put on exhibition in the Classical Museum, where all can see them. In the meantime Prof. Wilcox is arranging to have a number of them reproduced on slides, with which he will illustrate the course of lectures he is now giving the Greek Symposium.
Music Hall Notes.
Music hall has a big attraction for next week. On Monday night, November 19, Edward Baxter Perry, the celebrated Boston pianist, will be here. He is an old favorite here, so those that heard him before know what to expect. The program is a musical menu that will make your mouths water when you hear it. Chopin, Liszt, etc., and some of Mr. Perry's own compositions are among the numbers. Tickets will cost 50 cents. We hope for a crowded hall. Our own students appreciate good music too well not to go, and we hope others will be on hand.
By the way, those pianoforte recitals that are given at the hall every second Wednesday are well worth hearing. A good program, a comfortable seat and a warm welcome are extended to all. The last one was a little gem, reflecting credit on all who participated. There will be another next Wednesday afternoon.
We can hardly realize that the first half term has passed already. From all that has been heard the students of the School of Fine Arts have been putting "the best foot forward" and are getting there in all the departments in fine style. Hurrah for the School of Fine Arts! Hurrah!
