EXCHANGES
A JUNIOR'S PROPOSAL.
"Well, then, dear generous you!' she cries,
"If than my heart you really prize,
And wish to link your fate with mine,
On one condition I am thine:
Oh, let me, as become my place,
Cut those large whiskers from your face."
"Cut off my whiskers! O ye gods!
I'd do neer lose my ears, by odds;
Madam, I don't be so degrased,
So lost to fashion and to taste;
To win an amusement to my arms.
This blake has more than mortal chants,
My whiskers! sounds!" he said no more,
But quick retreated through the door.
—BUCHTELITE.
Of the 90,000 students in American universities and colleges, Ohio has nearly one-tenth. New York ranks next, then Pennsylvania, then Illinois. — Clipper.
The STUDENTS JOURNAL acknowledges a large number of exchanges from the homes of the "Barbs" in various parts of the state.
"One of the growing evils of the present age is lack of originality. It is no longer the man who is great is original, but the man who is original is great.—Clipper."
John C. Clarkson, the well-known league pitcher, has been engaged to coach the pitchers of the Yale base ball nine this spring. Keefe will coach the Harvard men—Clipper.
The Cooper Courier published at the Cooper Memorial College, Sterling, Kansas, came in this week. It is a neat eight page folder and being in its second volume has proved its right and ability to live.
During the Easter vacation the gymnasium team of Princeton will take a southern trip, giving exhibitions at Philadelphia. Annapolis, Washington, Baltimore and other prominent cities. Clipper.
"What is wetter than a girl with a waterfall on her head, a cataract in ner eye, a lake in her cheek, a spring in her knee and pumps on her feet?" Answer — "A girl with a notion (an ocean) in her head."—Clipper.
Here's a new wrinkle in college athletics. Vincent Carter of Franklin College in Indiana was injured while playing as a member of the foot ball team. He now sues the athletic association for $10,000 damages.
There is a certain tribe of Africans who compel every public speaker to stand one leg while speaking and to speak only so long as he can maintain this position.-Cong. Oh for the one-leg rule in chapel rhetoricals and prayer meetings.
The STUDENTS JOURNAL's exchanges in magazine form have been given a place in the reading room by the kindness of Miss Watson. It will be interesting to the friends of this paper to see what is going on among our neighbors, and Clipper will keep his scissors out of the pamphlets hereafter.
The Clay Center Times having a "terrible time with the name of the new State University fiddler. When he farmed in this country he was known as Dome, pronounced Demmy. A little later as Dome Geza, and still later as K. Dome von Geza. Now it is Herr K. Dome von Geza, and the Lawrence World calls it Mr. Herr K. Dome von Geza. The Chancellor in his report takes a new tack and writes him down Mr. K. Geza Dome. Why not settle this once and forever by calling him Smith K. Smith?" Call him what you will out at Clay Center, Prof. K. G. Dome is greeted with a crowded house wherever he appears in this part of the state.
Poor old Baker. The Zeta Ioti Chi fraternity gave a masquerade character party at the residence of Fred Harpster Monday evening. We understand that the party was an especially pleasant affair—Baldwin Ledger. A masquerade ball at Baker—Shades of John Wesley! —Lawrence Record. The ladies society at sober old Baker called the Zeta Ioti Chi fraternity, last evening entertained their friends at a masquerade ball. Think of it, a masquerade at Baker!—Lawrence
World There was a masquerade party here that evening, but no ball. The faculty does not even permit of *popcorn* balls being indulged in by the students at such places.-Baldwin Ledger. Poor old Baker.
WEATHER REPORT FOR JANUARY, 1893.
Prepared by Prof. F. H Snow, of the University Lawrence, from Observations taken at
The coldest January since 1878. There have been seven colder Januaries on our 26 years record. The mercury fell below zero only once, but the average temperature was unusually low, there being only four days whose mean temperature was above the freezing point. The fall of rain and snow was extraordinarily light, being the lowest January precipitation on record. The barometer was low and the wind velocity normal.
MEAN TEMPERATURE—22.38 degrees which is 3.07 deg, below the January average. The highest temperature was 50 deg. on the 31st; the lowest was one half a degree below zero on the 13th, giving a range of 49.5 deg. Mean temperature at 7 a.m, 17.19 deg; at 2 p.m, 28.96 deg; at 9 p.m, 21.68 deg.
RAINFALL—including melted snow—0.08 inches which is 1.14 inch below the January average. Rain or snow fell in measurable quantities on 2 days. There were four other days on which rain or snow fell in quantity too small for measurement. The entire depth of snow was 1 inch. There were no thunder showers.
MEAN CLOUDINESS = 41.33 per cent, of the sky, the month being 4,74 per cent clearer than usual. Number of clear days (less than one-third cloudy) 11; half clear (from one to two thirds cloud) 12; cloudy (more than two-thirds) 8. There were 3 entirely clear days and 2 entirely cloudy. Mean cloudiness at a 7 m., m. 51 per cent.; at 2 p. m., 40 per cent.; at 9 p. m., 33 per cent.
WIND—N.W, 32 times; S.W, 17 times; N.14 times; W., 8 times; S, 7 times; E., 6 times; N.E, 5 times; S.E, 4 times. The total run of the wind was 11,830 miles, which is forty miles above the January average. This gives a mean daily velocity of 381.6 miles, and a mean hourly velocity of 15.9 miles. The highest velocity was 60 miles an hour, at 9 a.m., on the 9th
BAROMETRE—Mean for the month,
29.142 inches; at 7 a. m., 29.136 inches;
at 2 p. m., 29.119 inches; at 9 p.m., 29.170
inches; maximum, 29.580 inches on the
15th; minimum, 28.624 inches, on the
11th; monthly range, 0.955 inch.
Lecture on Sanitation.
At Spaulding's business college last night Prof. F. O. Marvin delivered his fourth lecture of the University extension course. The subject was, "The Disposal of Filth by Water Carriage." At the present time, when the probabilities of a visitation of cholera to this country during the summer are being discussed by all classes; the subject of municipal and domestic sanitation possesses a peculiar interest. In Prof. Marvin's lecture the advantages and disadvantages of various systems of sewerage were presented in detail, the general conclusion being that from a sanitary standpoint any system now in use could be so constructed as to offer few objectionable features.—Kansas City Times.
For the accommodation of those who were not able to attend either of the meetings of the Lawrence University Extension Society the books with the articles of agreement have been left at Field & Gibb's book store, where any one desiring to become a member can stop and sign the agreement and pay the annual fee of 50 cents. Also those who want to take the first course of lectures can enroll at the same time. The chances are that a very large class will be formed. The executive committee desires to get the work started as soon as possible, as it is already late in the season, so that if desired, other courses can be taken up. So those intending to join the class in "English Literature of the Nineteenth Century," will help matters along by enrolling at once.
Why doesn't the University faculty turn out as well to oratorical contests and other University literary affairs as it does to a match game of foot ball or base ball?
