During the last few weeks the boys have missed articles from their overcoat pockets, such as gloves, handkerchiefs, mullers, etc. Mr. Doc Hoadley lost a fine muffler last week, and Mr. A. C. Cunkle one the week before. There was apparently no trace of the thief until last Saturday, when one of our eagle eyed reporters "got onto" a clue. A student of rather bad habits was seen offering

Stop, Thief!
The Young Men's Christian Association of the University has issued a call asking the various churches of the city to unite with them in observing this day of prayer. A public service has been arranged for this evening, to be held at the Methodist church at 7:30, and to be conducted by Chancellor Lippincott. A short paper on "The Inter-colegiate Y. M.C. A. Movement" will be read, two or three brief addresses have been arranged for, and there will be other exercises of interest. There should be a large attendance of our church people at this meeting.
Day of Prep. AUGUSTES.
The last Thursday of January is now quite generally observed as a special day of prayer for colleges. In 1815 a few of the students of "Nassau Hall," Princeton, N. J., set apart the holiday, Feb. 22, as a day for special prayer, in behalf of the religious welfare of the college students. Later, in consequence of a circular issued, with the knowledge and approbation of the directors of the American education society, "the last Thursday of February was set apart by many of the friends of Zion as a season of fasting and special prayer, that God would pour out his spirit on the colleges of the country the present year more powerfully than ever before." The last Thursday in February was the date observed in subsequent years, until 1870, since which time it has been the last Thursday of January.
The symposium on the Shakespeare-Bacon controversy at the University yesterday afternoon attracted quite an audience of students and citizens. On account of the smallness of Oread hall, the chapel was used as a place of meeting.
A Symposium.
with a few explanatory remarks. Prof. Spring introduced Col. H. L. Moore, who proceeded to give his reasons for believing that Francis Bacon was the author of the plays commonly attributed to William Shakespeare. His principal argument was that Shakespeare had not the learning which must have been the possession of the man who wrote the plays. He claimed that it is ridiculous for us to believe the plays to have been written by one who was undoubtedly very wild and reckless in his youth, and who sprung from the common yeomanry. He adduced the common argument of the Baconians as to the parallelisms to be found in the writings of Bacon and Shakespeare, and quoted Judge Holmes and other advocates of Lord Bacon as the suthor of the immortal dramas.
Mr. J, D. S. Cooke was the last speaker, and was listened to with close attention. He, too, is a thorough believer in Wm. Shakespeare as the author of the plays, and made a masterly argument in his favor.
Prof. Arthur Canfield is a thorough believer in the "sweet swarm of Avon" and made a good argument as to the identity of him whose ashes lie in Stratford church as the creator of the beauties of Hamlet and Lear.
Those who took the trouble to climb Mt. Oread felt well repaid for their pains, and should similar symposiums be held, they would probably call ont still larger numbers.
ror sale just such articles as had been stolen. One fine murder was sold for fifty cents, but the other articles the thief was unable to dispose of, and so pawned them. We withhold the name of the thief because it is his first offense, and on account of the high standing of his parents, but should such things ever occur again, it will be our place to expose the young rascal. Our advice to him is to quit.
Woman Suffrage and the Profs.
Woman Strugge and the Probs
This is truly an age of progress. Galileo said "the world moves," and the women of Kansas seem waalking up to this fact. Last week petitions were circulated in every town in the state, praying the legislature to grant municipal suffrage to women. One of the petitioners made a raid on our "dearly beloved faculty," and while every married man signed the petition, every gay and sportive bachelor refused so to do.
Why is this? I had always supposed that the objections came from the married men, but so it would not seem.
As one of the fair petitioners said, "A man has to arrive at years of discretion and get married before he can see what the world needs."
This calls loudly for reform. If the bachelor part of our faculty persists in their refusal to obey the dictates of reason, persist in amicably submitting to the inevitable; if they haven't sand enough to brace up "ut ita dicarn", let the fair sex again petition the legislature in thus wise:
"We, the undersigned, do hereby petition and pray your most august body to so legislate that any man who has not arrived at the years of discretion, and taken unto himself a wife, shall be ineligible to occupy a professorship in any college in our fair state, nor hold any office of profit or emolument within said state, and further, shall be held in the eyes of the law as belonging to that class known as "non compos mentia."
