UNIVERSITY COURIER.
12
The University was well represented in the Scientific Department at Bismarck, and, as a natural result, carried off a goodly number of premiums. L. L. Dyche and Cara Fellows were awarded first and second premiums respectively, on their entomological collections. Agnes Emery took the blue ribbon on her botanical display, and Harry Riggs pocketed five dollars for exhibiting the finest specimen of fret-saw work.
Pictures and picture frames at Bates & Field's.
It is rumored that a prize will soon be offered for the prettiest girl in the University. "Original" beauty will be required.
Stereoscopic views of the University may be obtained at Mettner's.
Two hundred and fifty visitors have registered since the last issue of the Courier.

I. C. in dry goods store. Clerk—"What does I. C. mean anyway?" I. C.-"Why don't you know? Inquisitive Clerk, to be sure."
Bates & Field's store is now gaining quite a reputation as a place of resort for artists and art students, owing to their large and complete stock of colors and materials.
J. A. Brennan has abdicated his seat in the Faculty as Professor of Steam, Gas and Heat, and Instructor in "How to make trees grow on the Campus." As he is already married we can think of no reason for his resigning, unless it be to study law. We have not learned who is to take his place.
The Class of '84 elected the following officers last Friday afternoon: President, Lida Romig; Vice President, Wm. T. Findley; Treasurer, Sam'l Seaton; Secretary, Clara Gillam; Poet, Glen Miller; Historian, Addie Sulliff; Prophet, Frank Thompson. This is a class with a future, but what the future is, no one will venture to say. Our worthy literary editor eulogized his class in high terms through the first number of the Courier, and we suppose it would be appropriate for the two Junior "locals" to do a like favor for their constituents. But '84 needs no encomiums. The only charge any one ever dared to make against the class was that no member ever paid his dues, except the treasurer, and he never accounted to the class for the money.
Last Friday the Class of 86 met and elected officers for the ensuing year. S. T. Gillmore was elected President; J. E. Curry, Vice President; Miss Speer, Secretary; Mr. Jenks, Historian; Mr. Rockwell, Poet; Robt. Chestnut, Prophet; Arthur Chalice, Treasurer.
Festus Foster, '81, spent last week in the city. He will soon go to Ivanhoe, Ill., to engage in Sunday School work.
The German Club will probably re-organize at an early date.
Our pugilistic editor has departed for Florida, pro bono suo. Challenges in the mean time may be left in our care.
Seats were assigned in chapel last Friday morning according to an entirely new plan. All the preparatory students are seated back of the middle aisle, and the collegiates in front, being arranged in alphabetical order. Or in more familiar terms, the Faculty occupy the stage, the collegians take the dress circle, the preps go to the parquette, while visitors will probably enjoy the balcony. The boxes have been assigned to the ushers, and a student may find himself "in a box," if he gets to wrenching on the chapel door knobs. The orchestry occupy a central position as heretofore. Doors open till 8:45 each morning except Friday, when services will begin at 8:30 o'clock.
Miss Myrtle McClellan, a bright young lady from the Indian Territory, enters the University this week.
