SPRING FEVER.
Economical Shirt to Buy.
W.M. BROMLINSICK, Sale Agent.
The western sun was sinking fast,
As slowly down the street there passed
A youth, whose face the impress wore
Of that dream he bore,—
Spring fever
his form, ere while erect and proud,
Was now with listless langur bowed,
And from his lips, in mournful strain,
There issued forth this sad refrain.—
"Spring fever
"O, stay!" an old man cried, "and state Why you are thus disconsoLate. And why your vlssage is so grave," He sadly smiled and gave—, "Sponge fever?"
"O, stop!" he heard a malden say,
"And join our party at croquet."
The gentle breeze that flowed by Bore to her chest sigh. sligh.
"Spring fever!"
"Beware the vain attempt to thrive on alcohol or 'two for five'!" This was the person's last farewell. A voice came from the bellworm— "Spring fever!"
Far down the street his home he went,
His thoughts on reaching home intent;
At last he crossed the threshold, where
He murmured in a chair, a
chair, a spring fever.
A stranger, through the open door,
Bheld him stretched upon the floor.
His damp locks o'er his forehead creep
And oft he mottled as he sleep—
“Spring fever.”

EXCHANGE NOTES.
Arbor Day cuts quite a figure in some of our northern States—more so than it does here. The Volante has quite a number of items on this subject.
The University Argus gives portraits and biographical sketches of its former presidents in its last issue. The Argus by the way is one of the best and most complete of western college papers.
We may safely say that Washburn next year will have the largest and most entusiastic local contest ever held in the State. Washburn's victories in the last two years have fired every student with oratorical ambition. There will be at least eight contestants, and the victor from this number will be strong enough to sweep the State with ease. Good friends at Baker and K S. U., we are coming again. —Washburn Reporter.
Good. Go ahead. We are ready for you any time.
"Don't!" Gentlemen, Don't come to classes so strongly perfumed by tobacco that the young ladies are obliged to appeal to the professor for a change in the seating of the class. Don't be so conceived as to think you know more than all the other students, the faculty, and the authors of the standard text-books combined. Don't be so disorderly in classes as to make yourselves the center of attraction. Don't spend your time during a recitation hour in writing notes. Don't tear your notes into a thousand and one pieces and scatter them on the floor in the library or a recitation room. Don't go to the class for more than two weeks at a time prepared to say: "Not prepared, professor." Don't place your hands in your pocket when you rise to recite.—Volante.
The Athletic association should buy some racing boats instead of spending money on a rank base ball club.
The faculty of other institutions seem to take more interest in oratory than do our faculty. One professor of rhetoric came from a far off State with the orator who represented that State. It is only fair to suppose that the professor did not come merely as a spectator but to render all the assistance in his power to that orator. We may be pardoned for asking how much the professor of rhetoric and oratory in this institution trained in delivery our representatives to the last State contests. If oratory is a thing to be discouraged for what reason have we a professor of oratory? Why support such a department? But if oratory is a thing to be encouraged, why is it that our representatives at the State contests have not received the proper amount of training? Every defeat lowers the institution in the opinion of the people. We do not intend to blame any member of the faculty. They all have plenty to do, but we do wish to remind every one of the necessity for training our orators and also of the fact that so far as we know no special pains have yet been taken in drilling our orator for the state contests. As a consequence of this we have been defeated in several contests.—Hesperian.
The profits of the oratorical contests at Galesburg have been expended in the purchased of a trophy to be presented to the Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association. Much credit is due the Knox students for the way in which they managed the contest, gaining enough profit for the purchase of a $125 cup. It is in the form of a solid silver and gold cup, to be known as "The Championship Cup" of the I. I. C. A. A. The main features of the work are of silver, the cup itself resting upon a tripod of crossed base ball bats in minature, while beneath the base ball rests upon the standard. Pendant in loops from the bat is a gold rope, emblematic of the tug-of-war. Upon the tug proper are engraved four shields, one of which portrays a tennis game in progress, another a base ball diamond, a third a youth running the 100-yard dash, and the fourth bears the inscription, 'Annual Prize given the I. I. C. A. A. by Knox, Oct. 4, 1889.' The raised figures on the shields are of solid gold, and the cup is lined with gold. The top, which is removable, is surmounted with a picturesque figure representing a foot-ball player about to kick a ball. The cup will be the property of the Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, and will be awarded each year to the college winning the most points at the annual tournaments of the association held in connection with the oratorical contest." 'The colleges of the association haye something to work for, and there is no reason for them not making records as good as those held by their eastern sisters. The State University fellows have possession of the cup, they having won most points

at Galesburg. The Rambler looks forward with confident hope to the time when the meet of the I. I. C. A. A, will cease to be a side show in connection with the I. I. C. A., and will be given a date in the spring, as it deserves. Athletics are gaining a more permanent place in educational institutions from year to year; in the west the colleges of Illinois are taking the lead in the matter, and within a few years their athletic interests will have reached such a condition as to require a special meeting, for which better preparations can be made, and which will give better results. If the college papers of Illinois will take up the matter and keep hammering away at it the change can be brought about.—College Rambler.
