THE CORRIDORS.
---Boating is very popular again.
Best 5 cent cigar in the city, at Biglow's.
Jim Chamberlain is Humboldt correspondent of the Iola Register, and writes them up in fine style.
—Kunkle and Rocklund have a large assortment of spring suitings of the latest patterns, which the Seniors will find to their interest to examine before ordering elsewhere.
Prof. Canfield leaves Friday for a short trip in western Kansas. He will lecture at Lyons Friday evening, and Witchita on Saturday evening, delivering his new address, "The Outlook."
—Rev. Herrick Johnson, of Chicago, has accepted the invitation of the faculty to deliver the Baccalaurate sermon. He is highly spoken of and will no doubt deliver an excellent sermon.
—J. W. Gleed responded to the toast, "Rising young men of Kansas,'" at Carlyle banquet, given in New York City. The professor writes that he never enjoyed himself better on any occasion. All was mirth and laughter from ovum ad olum.
-A meeting of the admirers of the game of chess was held last week, and a permanent organization effected. The club starts out well, with enthusiastic members and bright prospects. It supplies a want which has really been felt. A tournament will be held in a short time.
The classes on Wednesday elected the following executive committee: President, Geo. Watson of '84; secretary, J. B. Lippincott of'85; treasurer, R.E.Hayslett of 86; recording secretary, W.T.Reed, of 87; fifth member, Mr.Cummings of the Prep department. The selections are well made.
All is quiet, not a leaf moves in the forest, the traveller is oppressed by the stillness. Suddenly a voice is heard chanting a wierd refrain. The traveller pauses to listen, entranced by the music. He cannot at first understand the strain. But his joy is ten-fold when he hears, "Buy your furnishing goods of Bromelsick."
The circus is coming. The Seniors will have no more parties. The Sophs. will not attend for fear of being mistaken for curiosities. The Freshmen will go in a body, if not financially embarrassed. The Preps. will sustain the honor of the University and will take it in, menagerie, side show, lemonade, peanuts and all. There will be no school on that day--it is Saturday. The faculty will occupy front seats. Prof.----will ride the mule. The Sigs will ride the goat. Everything will be lovely if Leach doesn't elope with the snake charmer. For further particulars see small bills.
The Beta boys with their usual enterprise have organized a boat club, and have a very pleasant program laid out for a sail up the river, Friday afternoon, a "camp out" at night and return Saturday evening for meeting. Their boat will be called "Wooglin," (poor boat) and the spot where they will pitch their camp will be styled "Cynoscephalae." They would have given that name to the boat, but it might sink the poor thing. Albert Riffle will tread the quarter deck as captain. When he gets seasick and retires to meditate, W. H. Johnson will hold the speaking trumpet as mate. Charley Hall was made pilot because he can eat a lot of pie. (goak!) H. F. Smith is steward, and will try to furnish enough food for the crew. The deck hands, roustabouts, coal heavers, cider drinkers and other important offices are filled by L. H. Leach, Joe Curry, C. F. Foley, and C. E. Wood. All of this crew are very crewall (cruel) and should meet their just deserts; that is, never miss dessert.
