—Prof. Canfield will deliver his lecture - "The Nephew of his Uncle," in Topeka, at an early date, for the benefit of the library association.
The half session examinations will take place in about two weeks. We are all curious to know what systems of marking will be used.

Last Sunday being one of the first pleasant days we have had,the livery men received a benefit, as was shown by the number of students out enjoying the fair weather.
Arrangements are being perfected to provide for examinations to be held at various points in the State during next summer. By this means any person who wishes to enter the University can have the opportunity of taking the entrance examinations at or near his own home.
—Seven boys at the last Gradatim alone. But don't be too hard on them, for we can assure you that they all did their duty, and it was not their own fault that they were alone. It was only their misfortune that they did not have the forethought to engage company two weeks ahead.
Next Friday evening the Seniors inaugurate a season of gaiety by a "grand soiree and collation" given the ladies by the gentlemen. Just what a soiree or a collation is we don't know, but whatever it is we are assured that it is "grand." We are furthermore told that this is but the beginning of a large number of "soirees" and "collations" which are to follow in rapid succession. We have a faint suspicion that "soiree" may mean "lottery"' or "grab-bag"' if translated into plain English, but we have no definite information, as the Seniors refuse to be interviewed.
