The class rings have at last been taken out of pawn and will here-after ornament the horny hands of our Seniors as they drive the plow across the Kansas plains, or bask in the shade of the sunflowers. Student's Herald.
An-X says that the M. S. U. Independent is not so good as some of the other exchanges, but "we think, however, that it could be greatly improved by writing longer essays and giving less space to the local department!" Thus does opinion vary among college papers. The M. S. U. Independent is very nearly, if not quite, our best exchange. The young ladies of the Southwest University publish the An-X.
The same page contains the following begining with next fall, each class entering the Yale Medical School will be required to complete a four years' course before graduation instead of three, as has been the case. This is a condition toward which the leading professional schools all over the country are working. There are very few leading Medical or Law Schools that have not already taken this step or have it in contemplation.
The University of Cincinnatti Glee Club arranged to go with the base-ball team to Oxford, Ohio, to give an entertainment at the Western Female College, and then alas, the authorities of the latter institution said nay. "The best laid schemes o'mice an' men gang aft a-gley." But they are not discouraged concerning the happy idea of combining the trips of the Glee Club and the foot-ball team next fall.
The Rocky Mountain Collegian for May contains an article by an earnest writer on "Our Social Condition." He urges the practical application of our doctrines of equality among our fellow men regardless of the mere externals of wealth, fashion, etc. "Forsooth, brothers, fellowship is heaven and lack of fellowship is hell, fellowship is life and lack of fellowship is death; and the deeds that ye do upon earth, it is for fellowship's sake that ye do them."
All the college papers are saying "look out for our commencement edition,"but the only one to reach us as yet is the one from Missouri Univesity. Among the items of interest, we note the graduation of the first lady law student, the enrollment up to 657 this year and an enterprising suggeston that a weekly be published instead of a bi-weekly, the same to be sent to every paper and every High-School in the State. The five illustrations have been a feature of the paper and this number contains cuts of forty-two persons editors, winners of scholarships and graduates, and lastly the following, "F.M.Patterson of Yale renown, has been secured as coach for next year. The game with Yale has been accepted. "The foot-ball sky is clear."
At Michigan University there has been held a most successful May Festival by the Choral Union, the Comedy Club has given "A Scrap of Paper;" and the base-ball team is still moving on toward the western championship.

The defeat which Yale administered to Harvard in the debate at New Haven was a very bitter one to Harvard. It was the first time she has ever been defeated in debate, and it is the only direct competition she has with Yale this year. The result, while a surprise, seems to have been well earned. The audience agreed that Yale excelled both in form and in thought. The great interest which Yale has manifested in debate this year, the hard work she has been doing, the many clubs which have been formed for this purpose, the many competitions which have taken place have made her victory a deserved one. On the other hand, Harvard has shown a spirit of listlessness and over-confidence ever since her victory over Princeton. The result will probably be a new interest in debate at both Universities. The subject was, Resolved, "That a general Court of Arbitration should be established by the United States and Great Britain." Yale had the negative, her strong point being that the plan proposed by Harvard was not practical.
