—Bromelsick's is the place for latest styles in gent's furnishing goods.
--Thompson is by all odds the finest tailor who ever came to Lawrence. Try him once.
-Why does the "me too" local loom up so in spite of his shaved head? Because he gets his ties of Bromelsick.
Instead of going to Kansas Ciiy or sending their orders to Chicago, the Seniors will this year have their suits made by Thompson.
—Dr. Jas. Marvin, Superintendent of Indian School, says he expects to be ready for the first squad of "little red men" by May 15.
The University catalogue is in course of preparation. With due diligence of the printer it will be out earlier than in former years.
—Why is it some Seniors always get left when they try to get girls for the opera? Because they don't buy their furnishing goods of Bromelsick.
The secret is solved. The Freshmen got their suits made by Thompson. This again demonstrates that the present Freshman class is the wisest class in the University.
—Harry Smith and Victor Linley went home yesterday, intending to listen to the lectures of Col. Ingersoll at Leavenworth, and Rev. Talmage at Atchison, during their absence.

For the present they are meeting in Dr. Punton's office. The doctor has kindly consented to hold quiz classes every woek, and occasionally to lecture them on some subject of interest to the embryo "Sawbones. Rapid advancement is anticipated, for the doctor is a thoroughly practical man and one who has had a complete education, and possesses the faculty obtained only by hard continuous study, that of easily and effectually transmitting his ideas.
The members all show a great amount of enthusiasm, and it proves that a more thorough and complete course in medicine should be established in the University. There is, however, a rumor to the effect that next September another year will be added, and that at the next meeting of the Legislature steps will be taken for the formation of a regular medical college, empowered with all the privileges customary in a school of the kind.
The ringing of the fire bell last Monday brought out the usually large crowd of students. There is something wonderful in the attraction of fires. The student who never has time to write home except when his board bill and other "sundry"' bills become due, and the student who tells his profsssor that he can't find time to get the long lesson given, will stand and watch a fire with the utmost complacency until the last spark has expired.
