The Seniors came to the front Wednesday with their characteristic highmindedness and dignity (?). The Junior girls had baked a couple of large Harvard apple pies of the old historic kind, for the class in Colonial History and had placed them in Prof. Canfield's study. Now a number of these aforesaid dignitaries sneaked into the Profs. Study and stole one of the pies. Mind you they didn't come out boldly and fight for it, but sneaked, and skulked around like a son of Ham in a chicken roost. O!

Autumn Musings.
Ye Muset was quite struck with the way the Freshies entered upon their class election. It was one of those bright and youth renewing examples of childhoods eager purportation after bubbles that burst in the expectant grasp. There is something about the innocent joy of the Freshman as he casts his first vote in a class meeting and feels that he is in truth a collegian that makes the upper class man almost wish that those guilleless verdant days were his again. *Vanitas canutatum!* But they know it not. All too soon they will learn it though. 'Tis with a feeling akin to sadness that we realize it.
How strange it is that there are any students who entirely neglect the advantages, so generously offered them by the State and their parents. It seems to me so very short-sighted and ungrateful for any person whose State offers him a free education, and whose parents strive hard to supply him with money, to pass over such opportunities for improving himself and spend all his time in places of amusement. I know especially of two students, who are now for the second or third year in the same classes, and who spend almost all their time in some frivolous manner or other. Of course every student should be sure of some of them take远远 too much. Our University is remarkably free from individuals of this sort, but even a few are too many. Let every one, who reads this stop and think whether he is getting all the possible good out of his college career, and see if it isn't his own fault that he doesn't.

I hear so much about, social gritty that I am getting a little tired now while no one will deny that a certain amount of society is good and beneficial, it is equally undeniable that to much has an evil effect. I say nothing of the time lost and the consequent detriment to studies, but the habits acquired and the injury to health is no small matter. The student is proverbially a nighthawk, a midnight apparition and the constant attendance at gathering of the "wee mans' hours" tends to make him more so. We may manly him so hollow-eyed like boys and girls, and I don't like to see the sight. This habit of keeping late hours is one that sticks and is not easily laid aside, and so we should be careful not to foster it, while in this plastic and green period of our existence. As the "calf is so the cow will be" so we who are not in the veil age should take every precaution to keep perfect our health and strength.
