The Freshman Latin class have finished the odes of Horace, and are now studying the history of Rome.

A petition asking the regents to retain Miss Stephens as Greek professor, has been circulated among the classical students, and with one exception all gladly signed it. This speaks well for Miss Stephens.
The class in railroad field work, under Prof. Marvin, have just completed the preliminary survey of Mt. Oread railroad, and are now figuring on the cost of the undertaking. It begins at the north end of the building and leads directly west, so the natural history student can ride out for his specimens in the future, if the plans are successfully carried out.
The Senior laws have adopted a class hat. It is a low crowned, broad brimmed straw. By degrees K. S. U. is following in the footsteps of other colleges, such as Baker.
Orophilian Reception.
Orophilian, in accordance with her custom, tendered her Seniors a hearty reception last Friday evening. The party gathered about eight o'clock at the beautiful new home of Miss Lillian Bell, where they were welcomed by the hostess. After pleasant chatting was indulged in for a time, all gave themselves up to games and martiment. This continued till half past ten, when refreshments were served by three of Orophilian's fair ones, assisted by their company, all fully equipped in white aprons and caps ornamented with tassels, from each of which hung a beautiful small orange. The refreshments, served by such waiters, awakened a new passion for pleasure, and when the tables were cleared away games and dancing were in order till twelve o'clock, when Miss Lillian Bell favored the company with a piano solo. Miss Bell's musical talent is well known, and needs no praise. Mr. J. D. McLaren then gave the Seniors a farewell address, in which he spoke of the loss the society would feel in their absence, and also reminded them that they must get down from their "ponies" and turn the gallant steeds over to others, that they too might ride through in safety. Mr. Johnson and Miss Hubbard then spoke to the society as Seniors. Their advice and kind words showed how much Orophilian has done for her Seniors, and by their words could easily be told how hard it is to sever connections with Orophilian and associates formed there. Mr. E. F. Caldwell then addressed "Our Girls," but the boys enjoyed it as well as they, for he only spoke their praise. Dr. Black, Miss Bell's cousin, closed the program with a rehearsal. Orophilian again gave herself up to pleasure, and they seventy members present laid aside formalities and enjoyed themselves without limit. The party broke up at half past one, feeling a little sore that they had to lose their Seniors, but satisfied that they were better and stronger, and that they had never passed a more pleasant evening.

Tuesday, the 28th ult., at the third hour, the engineering boys were treated to something a little out of their usual line. H. L. Marvin, C. E., uncle of Prof. Marvin, gave them a very interesting talk on practical work in railroad engineering. He began by giving a general definition of engineering, and stated that the subject was unlimited and inexhaustible; that a general knowledge of it, even if one did not practice it, is out of the best and most useful educations there is.
The subject is so broad that men generally make a specialty of one branch, and in this locality railroading is most profitable. He ended by giving some very useful suggestions in outdoor work, which would only interest engineers. Mr. Marvin has been in the field a number of years, and is one of the most noted engineers in the west. His lecture was highly appreciated by those who heard him.
Prizes.
As announced last week, two prizes will be offered for work in the modern literary department; one of fifteen dollars by Hon. Theo. Poehler, for the best German essay; and one of like amount by Hon.
