THE COLLEGE WORLD. ELINORE. Bil, become, gay and over free, Always slitting merrily, White she is my love beguiling, Cruel with her constant smiling, Still as dear as dear can be Is my Elinore to me. In his mind, Sweet and charming, yet so gay That whenever I would say How I churlish, how I love her, With her hands and lips she'll cover, Yet no emotion in play Makes me walk some other way. Like a sheer she's ever cooling, Wilt out its eliza to my wool, Barely can love her bet or Andxious all the more to get her, (And she hints that my sneeung isn't a wanted doing.) In the University of Wisconsin, if a student is absent more than twelve times he is required to take an extra examination. The University of Michigan offers a six year's course, which, when completed, gives degrees in both science and medicine. The largest class ever graduated from an American institution was that of the University of Michigan last year, which numbered 998. No student of Ohio State University can be in the athletic team if he has failed or been conditioned in more than five hours work. At Boston University the faculty have voted to permit work on the college papers to count an hour's work in the course, allowing seven hours work a week to the managing editor, and two hours to each of his assistants. The thousands of toil-worn, care-laden collegiate editors would rise up and call their faculties blessed, were they all to take such philanthropic action—Holton Informer.

R K MOODY, Treasurer. Prof. Steyens has just received a lot of grasses and fungi from Prof. Seymour of Harvard. They are in exchange for some specimens sent to Harvard by Prof. Steyens some time ago. The grasses are largely those of value for grazing purposes, and are authentically named by comparison with specimen in the Gray Herbarium. Each specimen is accompanied by references to literature concerning it. The fungi, two hundred in number, are those which grow on fruit trees. The Smithsonian Institution is offering a $10,000 prize for an important discovery concerning atmospheric air, a $2,000 prize for the best scientific essay upon atmospheric air and a $1,000 prize for the best popular treatise upon the same subject. These prizes were given to the Smithsonian Institute by Mr. Geo. Hodgkin, who is desirous of increasing the world's knowledge of the air. See Abe Levy's new summer shirts. K. U. vs. Baker. In the exhibition ball game, Saturday, between K. U. and Baker, the former won easily by a score of 17 to 4. It was entirely too much one-sided to be interesting, and the shivering spectators in the grand stand wished they were home. The K. U. band made its first appearance before the nubic and played many selections during the game. The music was well received. Game was called about 3:20, with Baker at the bat, and Prof. Stewart, of Baker University, as empire. The Baker men understood their business, and played carelessly, and without team work. In fact they played so that it was clearly perceived that they were willing to sacrifice an exhibition game in order that thereby they might win the league game, which takes place here May 22nd. May 22nd. Becks, Dudgeon and Sutton did the best playing for Baker. Dudgeon and Crooks are especially weak, or (as is most probable) feigned it. In batting the whole nine was weak. They made three scores in the first inning and were shut out up to the ninth when they sigged another on an error. f Phillips, who dropped the ball. K. U. played a fairly good game. Kelscy and Phillips are undoubtedly the best battery K. U. ever had. Phillips, however, was somewhat wild, giving too many bases on balls. Bedell held first to pefection, but was very weak at the bat. Crawford put up a poor game as short stop. A new one is needed. Williamson and Hickey were slow at running bases. Sherman had bad luck in batting flies. On the whole the team work was fairly good and if our nine keeps on improving we may hope to win the pennant. Prof. Stewart's decisions were satisfactory. The players and their positions were as follows; K. U. POSITION. BAKER.
