A large audience, that is, a large lecture audience, greeted Prof. C. E. Rossey last Tuesday evening. Promptly at eight o'clock Dr. Lipliacott introduced the speaker in a few appropriate remarks. The lecturer began by saying that there is more in botany than is generally supposed; that it is not merely a study of beautiful plants and flowers, but that it is a science "as wide as all vegetation, and as deep as the most difficult problems of the mind." The place it occupies in the American colleges has done more to degaade it than anything else. In twenty weeks only a smattering of the subject can be mastered, and which, if not followed up, will be of little benefit. It is on account of this that the science of botany is not regarded as a proper field for aspiring and strong minded young men, but is left for women and effeminate men. The speaker claimed that there was as great a chance for young men to distinguish themselves in botany as in any other field.
He then went on to enumerate some of the problems which have not yet been solved. There are many problems yet unsolved, but he would mention but six.
The first problem is the arrangement of flowering plants. These have been more studied about than all the others put together. They are divided into two classes, viz: those with a seed pod and those without; and the first class is again divided into two classes, those with one seed leaf and those with two. There are 80,000 of this last class, and 150 orders. They are generally classified with regard to their petals, their presence or absence, number, kind, etc. This classification, however, is extremely faulty, and a new one is much needed. Who will be the one to do it?
Problem 2, is to discover the relation between the pines and the other flowering plants. Botany long ago divided plants into two kinds, flowering and flowerless, but the division is a very superficial one, and ought never to have been made. An easy passage has been discovered between the two divisions, but the trouble comes between the pines and the other flowering plants. As yet no trace of a connection has been found, and this is the second problem to be solved.
STUDENTS VIEWS.
Problem 3, is the sexuality of flowerless plants. Linnaeus discovered that the flowering plants were divided into sexes, but as yet no evidence has been brought forward to prove that sexes exist among the toad-stools, reits, etc., as well as among the higher order of plants. If we went by analogy we would say that the sexes did exist, but if we went by the closest scrutiny, we would be compelled to give it up.
Problem 4, is parasitism, that is the dependence of one living plant upon another living plant for life. We are apt to believe that plants live only on earth, water, air, etc., when in reality in five of the seven branches of plants parasites are found. A good example of the parasite is the "dodder." The question is what did it spring from and how.
it spring from and deepen Problem 5, is how to account for the degradation or degeneration of plants. Many people suppose that plants are developing all the time, but this is an erroneous idea. Plants flourish and decay, advance and retrograde, the same way that the nations of the earth do. This question is an important one, and not a step toward its solution has yet been made,
Problem 6, is the arrangement or classification of the lower orders of plants. But little has been done in this field, and fame and honor await the man who will take it up.
Very little time as yet has been given to the uses of plants, and this is a field which offers great inducements to young men.
I picked up a fraternity journal the other day, and was surprised at the amount of lying I found therein. The editorials and literary portion of the magazine were all well enough, but the correspondents, why, every one of them seemed to be a second Eli Perkins. I was particularly struck with the letter the correspondent from K. S. U. had written. He started out with the brilliant remark that they preferred "quality to quantity," and would rather keep their chapter small than take in an inferior man. How very considerate, especially when it is known they have tried for at least six barbs in the past two months without success. He next tells how many men they have on the oratorical contest, and how they are sure to take both the first and the second places. Alas, for his foresight, his men were found as usual bringing up the rear.
When we look at these problems we feel that botany should not be studied as a superficial pastime, and that it is not devoid of puzzling questions.
He then goes on to tell how popular the men are socially, how many parties they have been to, etc. From his description you would think they were all Apollos, but in reality, they are the biggest grays in school, and have not a whit of the social quality in their nature. They are as much out of place in a drawing room as a bull in a china shop.
He then tells how one of the lady fraternities had a party not long since and every one of their men held an invitation; in fact, the party would not have been a success without them.
In the language of the poet, I can only exclaim: "O, what a lie!" In fact three out of their twelve men attended the aforesaid party, and their room would have been better than their company. They knew no more about behaving than a Zulu chief. I was particularly amused at one of their leaders taking a drink from a finger bowl, whereupon his two dear brothers followed his worthy example.
If this is a fair sample of fraternity journalism I would like to subscribe for a dozen papers to see which can tell the biggest lie.

Girls' Views.
Secret societies, it seems to me, are the very blight of our school life, and do more to destroy all feelings of fellowship among the students as a whole than any thing else can, besides the time and attention they necessarily take up. It has practically become the fashion to belong to a secret society, and socially a student is nobody unless he is a member of one. Moreover, they do not want and will not have as members any one whom they think will not take well socially, or who has not a little money to spend, no matter how much real worth they may have in them. If a young man has any real manliness in him he is able to stand alone, or at least without the aid of secret societies; and if he has not enough to make his way without their help, I think he might as well have stayed at home in the first place.
But the most of all to be condemned are girls' secret societies, as they never could have arisen in the first place if it had not been for boys' secret societies. Some girl must needs go to work and get up a society in imitation of the boys, and its evil effect among them socially is far more marked than among the boys, as they have a greater tendency to clique together.
And, after all, what need has the student of any thing secret, unless it is something to bad too make public, and if that is the case, our boys and girls are much worse off than I think them to be. RUTH.
