This week the editorial board presents three changes. The positions so ably filled by Miss Fisher, Messrs. Doran and Preston, have become vacant by their absence from the University for the coming session. We regret their loss and voice the sentiment of our readers in saying that their places will not be easily filled.
The following books have been taken from the library without permission, viz: Two copies of Perry's Political Economy, Bowen,s Political Economy, and Grund's "The Americans, Their Moral, Social and Political Relations." The parties having them will please return them at once.
E. MILLER, Librarian.
The class of '88 held a large, enthusiastic meeting Monday, and decided to have their class party January 30th. The committee on arrangements consists of Miss Webster, Elwell and Higgins. Various sub-committees were appointed to take charge of music, supper, etc. Crowell and Lawrence will be floor managers. This is the largest class that ever entered the University, and no doubts will make their first party a grand success.
COURIER MEETING.—Monday at the end of the fourth hour the company met in special meeting. The resignations of Miss Fisher, Mr. Doran and Mr. Preston were laid before the company and accepted. All were because of absence from college. Miss Laura Lyons, of '86, C. S Metcalf, of '86, and B. K. Bruce, of '85, were elected to fill the vacancies. After remarks by President Sullivan, as to the excellent condition and bright prospects of the great religious weekly, the company adjourned.
Tuesday evening fifty-six young men gathered in the Y. M. C. A. lecture room to hear Prof. Canfield's "talk" upon Labor. The professor treated of the subject in his usual entertaining, instructive way. The bright and dark sides of our system of labor were shown; how the progress of culture and civilization has been parallel with division of labor, and how that division has a tendency to make a man one sided. But still the good qualities outweigh the bad. The professor's last "talk" will be next Tuesday evening on the subject of "Wages."
Toy little letter:
On a little card.
Helps the jolly student
Answer question hard.
So the little ponies
Glanced at on the sly.
Make the naughty Freumnue
Sophmores by-and-by.
Last week our Greek professor entered the Freshman class a little late, and found she was just in time to save one inquisitive Fresh from plunging to destruction by means of the ventilator. What Schall we do with such Fresh men?
Guilty, or Not Guilty?
This afternoon the trial or Cyrus Crane takes place in Oread hall, on the charge of stealing some dishes from Mr. A. L. Adams, on the night of the alleged Junior party. The previous high standing of the accused brings great interest to the decision. For some time the efficient sheriff, Mr. Bowersock, has been on the track of the criminal, and at last believes he has unearthed him. Crane stoutly asserts his innocence, and his many friends refuse to believe him guilty. He has secured the services of the eminent law firm of Gilmore & Morgan, and his defense will be a strong one. But with the ability and energy of Prosecuting Attorney Talbott, aided by the Hon. W. L. Little, we rest assured that justice will be meted out. Judge Linley will convene court promptly at three o'clock. We hesitate to pronounce our opinion as to the result of the trial, but will sternly insist as a custodian of the public welfare, "Let no guilty man escape."
Little drops of lager,
Little drops of gin.
Makes a red probosis.
And consumes the tin.

Several of the members have already contributed some new facts to science, and this union of minds and hearts will make the work yet more effective. The club is divided into departments for each branch of science studied in the University, with the professors as presidents.

PERSONAL.
The society has access to all the leading periodicals of the day, to standard scientific works in our own and foreign languages and to extensive laboratories and cabinets. The only thing that could prevent the success of the undertaking would be a lack of interest by its members. The next meeting will be held at 3 p.m. on Friday, January 30, in Prof. Bailey's lecture room in the chemistry building. All are cordially invited.

OROPHILIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. At the last meeting, although the day was exceedingly cold and disagreeable, there was almost an average attendance. The program was well carried out, proving that the enthusiasm of Orophilian has not been chilled by the late defeat, or frozen by the inclementity of the weather. The speaker, as the amendment to the constitution provides, appointed the following officers: E. F. Neal, sergeant-at-arms; H. F. Talbott, critic; W. E. Higgins, chorister; J. B. Harris, reporter; Lillian Bell, pianist. Prof. Keck favored the society with a solo, which was enthusiastically received. The question, Resolved, That Canada should be admitted into the union, was discussed on both sides with great ability, coupled with eloquence. The members of Orophilian have every reason to feel encouraged, and they have only to work together in order that its success may be as assured in the future as it has been in the past. The musical part of our program is especially good, and to those who desire to witness a first class entertainment we extend a kind invitation.
