Are you there?
I am still with you.
What a bill of expense!
Over four weeks and still the snow lies on the ground.
The coasting is elegant, and the small boy is happy.
The students have almost all returned from the Christmas holidays.
A large number of our students are attending Gardner's dancing class at Frazer hall.
Skating has taken the place of sleighing among our students, and their genial countenances are seen day and night at the rink.
Mrs. L. W. Spring entertained the members of her Sunday School class, and a few others, at her residence last Wednesday evening.
Everybody has been making resolutions, and "ye editor" has followed suit. He has condensed all into one important one—that he will not make any resolution he cannot keep.
The Y. M. S. C., of this city, repeated the play called "Our Yankee Cousin," last Wednesday evening. If some of our talented students would organize a company and give such an entertainment, we are certain it would be well patronized.
The student who ate four dozen oysters, select brand, in four minutes, had an invitation to take supper with a friend, but declined on account of his voracious appetite. James has been unfortunate lately, and some of our boys are thinking of taking up a collection for his benefit.
We are glad to notice the way in which our daily papers are taking hold of the sidewalk question. This is of great interest to students and we advise those who are mischievously inclined to take notice of those who do not keep their side-walks free from snow, and give them a pleasant call in the "Spring time, gentle Annie."
The Cadets went to Topeka Monday to take part in the inauguration of Governor. They report a splendid display and a good time.
The "Oread Mewses" met at the residence of Prof. Miller, on the 10th inst. Quite a large number were present and all seemed to enjoy themselves. Among those who took part in the exercises we noticed the names of Misses Tenney, Miller, Marvin, Baker, Stevens, Thacher, and Messrs. Henry and Gleed.
The grand event of last week was beyond all doubt the brilliant skating carnival. The most elaborate preparations had been made by some of our enterprising citizens. Music, fireworks, &c., were never so plenty before; everybody, especially the small boy, enjoyed himself hugely. The crowd was very select, notwithstanding the large number present. From some unaccountable means fair Luna hid her face and did not appear during the entire evening. By all means let the same management give another carnival and add new laurels to their already overburdened brows.
The class of '80 made its first appearance in public on the night of the nineteenth of December, with a very interesting rhetorical programme. The members of the class, thirteen in number, after being introduced to the audience by Prof. Canfield, did their parts in a pleasing and successful manner. The exercises were of a high literary character, and gave the utmost satisfaction. They were presented in the following order: Music; oration," Peace," Henry V. Chase; essay, "Eldorado," Cora M. Cherry; reading, "Pride," Sarah Dudgeon; essay, "Genius and Peculiarities of Edgar A. Poe," Solon T. Williams; oration "The Age of Inquiry," A. E. Parker; music.
