Shame on such cussedness.

The Sophomores were in high spirits las tweek. Their canes arrived and on Friday they marched to the University with their canes and their raw class colors. They intended to attend chapel but got there to late, and so they marched up and down the halls in state. Finally the rest of the students organized a rush and endeavored to relieve the '92's of their canes, a lively scrimmage ensued in which the Sophs came off victorious. Talk about class spirit, the "Junyahs" are nowhere.

This is a practical necessity, as a thorough knowledge of mechanical engineering, under lies the work of the electrician.
THE SEMINARY.
An Interesting Address by Prof. J.H.Canfield on "The Race Problem."
A large audience, among whom were several representatives of the colored race, assembled at the Political Science Seminary at the University last Friday evening. Prof. Blackmar presided. Reviews of the current magazines were given by E. Esterly and I. H. Morse. Domestic Events by Miss Spencer. Mrs. Bowersock followed with a carefully prepared paper on Public Debt.
The closing paper was by J. H. Canfield, on The Race Problem from the Negro Standpoint. This essay was remarkable for its directness and clearness and showed a thorough study and comprehension of this most serious problem. Prof. Canfield's conclusions may be condensed as follows: First, the negro maintains that he did not come here of his own accord, but was brought here against his will. Second, he believes that he must remain where he is placed; his labor is needed there and no other country desires him. Transportation is impracticable. Theo too, he is an American and a citizen, and as such is entitled to certain rights. He does not ask for inter-marriage or social equality. He only asks five things: First, he asks for equality in securing a fair trial. This he does not have now as the terrible frequency of lynchings testifies Second, he asks for equality in sentence after conviction. Third, he asks adequate protection of life and property Fourth, he asks equality in public education. Fifth, he asks equality in facilities of transport, in hotels, and in places of public amusement and instruction. The line in these places should be drawn at cleanliness and decency not at color. More than this he does not demand; no citizen has a right to demand more.
Unity Club.
Mr. B. W. Woodward's paper on "Balzac and Thackery" before this club next Monday night will be well worth hearing.

The German Club.
This isn't its name, but is white man for it. Connected with the study of the German language in the University, Prof. Carruth has instituted a club which meets weekly to converse, read and declaim in German. There is little formality, and but one rule, namely; all talking must be carried on in German. A reporter was inveigled into the room last Friday night where this club met, and is authority now on all matters of German philology or literature. From "Guten abend" to a declaration from Goethe's most admirable prose, the abilities of the members run. To see a supposedly respectable and refined society of young ladies and gentlemen, become on Saturday nights a crowd of "wir sprechen Deutschers;" to see this crowd of young anarchists wildly applauding and "gut, gut-ing," a harangue from the Herr Most of the club, Prof Carruth, would fill the inhabitants of any but a University town with a sickening fear. But there is no danger; on the contrary, there is a positive good being none, and future accomplished linguists will turn back in memory to the dear old University "Verein."
It is considered bad form down at Baldwin for a student to ride in a hack.
