THE CORRIDORS.
We desire to remind some of the professors that it is against the rules to loiter in the corridors. A number of students are thereby inconvenienced.
The faculty have united in asking the regents to establish a Spanish class for the second session. If the regents decide favorably, Prof. Carruth will take charge this year.
He was only a jolly Freshman,
In college for the first time this year.
Who, desiring to add to his knowledge,
Asks questions of all who will hear.
In college for the first time this year,
Who, desiring to add to his knowledge,
Asks questions of all who will hear.
"What is meant by this, that, or the other?
What are the class officers for?
I don't understand the queer badges
By which the boys set so much store?"
"For all the queer phrases and lingo,
This college is surely ahead;
Such terms as 'frat,' 'barb,' and 'outsider.'
Weary and perplex my poor head."
These and as many more riddles
He encounters yet day after day;
Those "privileges given after a lecture,"
"What are they, can any one say?"
Once, while listening with closest attention,
To a description of the first week in June,
The program of Saturday morning
Seemed to attract his attention quite soon.
He heard of the wrestling and racing.
Of the jumping and throwing and ball,
Of the egg race, the sack-race, the back-dash.
In which the unwary ones fall.
These performances to him seemed marvellous.
Yet still the recital went on.
He, determined to end all this mystery.
Asked, "do they do all that on the rostrum?"
Will Thacher went to New York with the key to the Oread bulletin board. If it were not for the fact that there are other Keys in the society, this might have caused trouble.
The time for making presents is approaching. If you contemplate following out the time honored custom don't fail to call upon Bromelsick.
The local editors desire to return thanks to Messrs. Mahan, Smiley, Kennedy, and Metcalf for a fine serenade. Such kindnesses as this are gratefully received, and will stand as pleasing oases in the oft-time desert places of our editorial career.
Don't forget that Mettner is not only trying to keep his work up to its acknowledged high standard, but is continually making improvements in the photographic art.
A dancing club has been organized which will go down to future students as the Gradatim. A constitution was adopted providing for a regular society to meet every two weeks, and limiting the membership to forty.
The first meeting of the Gradatim Dancing Club was held last Friday evening. About thirty-five couples were present and enjoyed themselves as only students bent on having a good time are able The whole evening was a very enjoyable one and established the club on a firm basis The next hop will be December 7th.
Rev. Philip Krohn's lecture last Tuesday evening was well received by a good-sized audience. His subject, "American Statesmen," was handled in a very able manner, and the modern politican was portrayed by no means to his favor. When he had concluded, Senator Plumb made a few remarks on the duties of the citizen, and the advantages of our government.
