BY THE MEN ABOUT COLLEGE. A certain element of unfairness in the inter-state oratorical contest appears to me on investigation of the ages and experience of the various competitors. There is an astonishing disparity in age between some of the contestants, as much as ten or twelve years. Side by side in the great contest will stand the beardless youth of oneteen and the married man of thirty. For instance, Kansas will be represented by a typical college student. While Ohio sends a contestant who has already graduated from one college, has practiced law for several years, been a political stump speaker, married a wife and is the father of two children. Of course Ohio has a right to send a man of fifty if she wishes, under the present regulation; but is this giving an exhibition of college oratory to allow lawyers and ministers to take part in the contest? I think not. To have the best possible contest, the contestants should be as nearly matched as possible; and to do this, professional men who happen to be under-graduates, should be prohibited from competing. Thus we would have a fair contest of students; but if the old men must have a contest, let the association be divided into two sections, so that the immaturity of younger men would not have to battle with the more fully developed powers of the old men. * Some years since an annual prize for the best essay was offered by a generous Lawrence citizen, and this being the only prize essay contest, was participated in with great interest by the students; but it seems the faculty didn't think there was advertising enough in an essay contest, and have transferred the prize to some declaratory or oratorical contest, leaving the University without an essay contest throughout the course. This seems hardly wise, for it is better to be able to express one's thoughts so they will read well than merely so that they will sound well. Let us have some inducement to lay aside the deceits and flower of oratory, and write our thoughts in plain language. It is to be hoped that some essay prize will be offered this year, so as to give those a chance who can write better than they can speak. Rumors are rife that a new semi-secret society has been organized among a few of the students. Though community of interest has bound together for some time those who are members, yet it has never been publicly announced that the membership had reached aggressive and offensive proportions. The members have decided not to wear any visible badge, yet their presence is not imperceptible to any one having full possession of all of the five senses. The title of the society is "The Anti-Bath Organization." If it increases sufficiently in size and importance I will give the names of the officers, executive committee and members, very soon, for the enlightenment and protection of the general public. The COURIER is under obligations to Thos. Ryan for a copy of his speech on the opening of the Indian Territory. THE COLLEGE WORLD. Yes, chum, I called upon her, And sent my card above; A cold, cold note was brought to me By one of the servant maids The time at length had come to me To boldly speak my love. That card of mine—Ye gods of war! It was the ace of spades! There is a cricket club at Princeton. Lafayette has passed resolutions denouncing hazing. The degree of B. S. will no longer be conferred by Hobart. The average age of the young ladies at Vassar is twenty-eight. There is a professor of Theory and Practice of Photography at Lehigh. There are more colleges in Ohio than in France and Germany combined. Oxford has appliances for printing books in a hundred and fifty languages. The students of Tuft's college are compelled to attend chapel and to obey the law of the land. The non-fraternity element of Indiana University is making a desperate effort to exterminate the Greeks. Expulsion from college is the penalty for cheating at examinations recommended by the Conference Committee of Harvard. The Oberlin faculty refused to permit Henry Ward Beecher to lecture to the students of that institution. The botanical collection of Columbia college approximates 75,000 being about one-half of the different forms of plants known to exist. On authority of R. J. Burdette, there is another member of the Semitic family of languages — Gum Arabic, the dialect of the toothless sons of the great desert. The chair of Journalism, recently established at Harvard, is to be filled by J. B. McCullagh, editor of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. His salary is to be $4,000 per year. At the Inter-Collegiate Base Ball Convention, the championship was awarded to Harvard; Williams was admitted; Dartmouth withdrew, and the University of Pennsylvania failed to gain admission to the Association. Carter, Yale, '77, now a minister of the Congregational church, was the best base ball pitcher Yale ever had. He performed the wonderful feat of putting twenty-seven men out in succession in a championship game with Harvard. The young ladies of the University of Toronto have formed a Recluse Club, the rules of which forbid "speaking to or walking with any of the gentlemen undergraduates within the college halls, or on the lawns, or within the enclosure of the grounds." 80 14 And the breeze through the branches did were carefully blog.
