ART LEAGUE.—Monday evening a special meeting occurred at the League rooms. The object of the gathering was to provide for a successful exhibition of League work and loans. Owing to many good reasons being offered—one of which was that the present rivival meetings should not be opposed by secular attractions—it was decided that the exhibition should be postponed until December 1, 2, 3, and 4. No works offered for exhibition are to have been previously exhibited at League meetings. The admission fee is to be a nominal one—fifteen cents, or twenty-five cents for a gentleman and lady. A catalogue will be provided to each visitor, free. The president pro tempore, Judge Banks, was instructed to appoint a committee on loans. Messrs Marvin and Moore were appointed a committee on catalogue. Mrs. P. R. Brooks was appointed chief of a committee on reception, with power to select assistants. H. L. Schaum was appointed as a committee on light. On motion, it was voted to hereafter have two meetings of the League each month—first and third Mondays. Mr. Reinsch made his first appearance as an associate member on this occasion, as also did Mrs. Graves. The members of the League are expected to report immediately to Secretary Marvin as to the number of pictures they will enter for exhibition, giving titles and approximate sizes. The pictures must be delivered at the rooms on Saturday, November 28th, not later than 4 p. m. Courses for sale at book stores and news stands.

VIEWS:—Would it not be a very great improvement over the present plan that the gentlemen's Greek Letter societies follow, in giving their parties to make it a point to have present some other person—say, one of their married members and wife? I do not consider it exactly, within the bounds of propriety, for these parties to be held, unless, under the supervision of some older person. I know that if many mothers, knew that their daughters were whiling away their Friday evenings, in some of the Fraternity hours, dancing until the "wee, sma hours," without the restraining influence of older persons, they would be justly unasy about them. And I venture to say that few, if any parents know how these parties are conducted, and if they did, a stop would soon be put to it. Now, let the gentleman consider the fair names of their lady friends and they will quickly see that some steps be taken in the right direction, so as to prevent the slightest comment being made upon their actions. Do not misunderstand me, by believing that I am opposed to these parties; but, on the contrary I favor a few of them. Any gentleman, who values the fair name of his lady friend, will see the propriety of this suggestion. A GREEK. The above was handed us by one of the most prominent "Greek" society gentlemen of the University as for the present we publish without comment. Ed. ED. VIEWS:—Though chapel speaking is very instructive, yet there is a fault which should be corrected. I refer to the manner of grading. As I understand it, a committee from the Faculty does the marking, and this committee does not include the Professor of Elocution. Now, good delivery depends not only upon the voice, the position, the features, but also upon the features. No matter how well the first three be managed, if the expression of the face be stolid, and the eyes turned to the gallery and not to the audience, the effect is lost. It is not oratory then, but machine delivery. But the grading committee does not see the features. Its members sit on the platform, behind the speaker. Can you gaze upon the back, be it straight or humped, and judge the ability of the speaker? Is the management of the voice the only means of judging? That may be learned parrot-like. Is the effect upon the audience the true standard? No, for applause in every case lasts till the speaker is off the stage. Then let the committee sit among the students and mark upon the gestures, the management of the voice, the expression of the features. “Tis a consummation devotely to be wished.” SPEAKER. .
