Junior Picnic.
The long looked for, the much talked of, the eagerly awaited Junior picnic arrived on schedule time last Saturday afternoon. At about three o'clock three large wagons bearing the noble class of '90—not 90 members, but the year 1890—started for the famous picnic ground near Eudora. Arriving at the park, hammocks were soon swung, tennis courts laid out, and the Junior was soon having a picnic all around. There was no Senior to turn off the gas, no envious Sophomore or verdant Freshman to spoil his blissful pleasure. Supper, which had been prepared by the Junior girls, was served upon the pavilion, and if the boys are to be believed, language cannot describe its delicuousness. W. A. White, the class poet, gave one of his Riley poems, which was of course first class. After the tables had been cleared away dancing was indulged in, to the inspiring music of the Mandolin club. Everyone was compelled to dance. The goody-good as well as the badly-bad. The Virginia Reel seemed to be the favorite and the most amusing dance of the evening. At nine o'clock the procession started home, and the good people from Eudora to Lawrence can bear witness to the musical voices and the rare collection of college songs which were left vibrating on the wild night air. They arrived home before the hour of twelve was sounded and the great and long-to-be-remembered picnic was a thing of the past.
All week the Junior has been declaiming about class spirit, burdening the ears of his somewhat jealous fellow-student as to what a splendid time they had. It must have been somewhat amusing to have seen Mr. ——and Mr. ——embracing each other, Mr. X and Miss L. promenading down the lovers walk, and Mr. G. and Mr. W. laughing at each others jokes, but such is the holy and harmonizing influence of a class picnic. Undoubtedly the junior picnic was a great success. Other classes should follow suit. Those present were, Misses Bartell, Dunn, Birr, Fellows, Franklin, Howland, Johnston, Sutliff, Weller, Goodell, Hair, Grabe and Reasoner. Messrs. Culver, Brewster, Mushrush, Hill, Reynolds, McFarland, Slosson, Pickering, Burney, Short, Henshaw, Armstrong, Watsot, White, and Bear.
Orophilian's program for the first meeting next September has been posted. It promises to be very interesting to both old and new students. Addresses will be made by E. L Ackley on "Our University;" by H. F. Bear on "Orophilian;" by C. E. Street on "College Spirit;" by G. O. Virtue on "College Habits." The question, Resolved, That a collegiate education enhances the chances of a financial success in life, will be debated by H. E. Copper and W. W. Brown on the affirmative; and by R. D. O'Leary and S. A. Miller on the negative.
Exchange Notes.
We acknowledge the receipt of the Olive Leaf this week, published by the Senior class of the Los Angeles college. The Olive Leaf is a very interesting college journal and presents a very neat appearance.
The Elite Journal comes to our table this week. The Journal is published weekly by the students of the Illinois Wesleyan University and is well deserving of the high place it holds in college journalism. We hope the Journal will be a regular visitor in the future.
A plan is on foot to form a southern Inter-state Oratorical Association.
At the University of Missouri a portion of the time set apart for chapel exercises is devoted to the singing of national airs by the whole body of students.
At the University of Virginia when a student has finished any one branch of study, as Latin, Greek or Mathematics, he is issued a certificate; and when he has merited and secured seven such certificates he is entitled to a diploma or a degree. The same plan has been recommended for the University of Missouri.
The last number of the Olive Leaf contains a good article entitled, "Was Bacon the author of Shakespeare's Plays."
The colleges represented in the Missouri Inter-collegiate Oratorical Association are Missouri State University, William Jewell College and Central and Westminster Colleges.
The Elite Journal seems to be dissatisfied with the work done at the editors convention held at Grinnell, Iowa. The chief objection seems to be the article in the constitution which provides that the annual convention shall be held on the day after the inter-state contest. The Journal claims that this is making the press association play second fiddle to the oratorical association. We do not see that there is any argument in such an objection, and know of no better time to hold the convention than the time appointed.
The following college journals now receiving the Times, will please exchange: The College Magazine, The Monthly, The Texas University, The Gem, The Northwestern, The Oberlin Review, The Pennsylvanian, Lehigh Burr, Cornell Era, College Times, The Coup d'Eat, The College Mercury, The Volante, Hamilton College Monthly, Southern Collegian, The Aegis, The Industrialist, The De Pau Adz, The Earhamite, The Oak, Lily and Ivy, The Atlantis, The Delphic, and The Muhlenberg. Many of the foregoing have been receiving the Times for several months, and we hope they will show us the courtesy of placing the Times on their exchange list; if not, we will be constrained to cancel the names of all such publications from our exchange list.
The authorities of Princeton have made Dr. McCosh a life pension, as a testimonial, for his work in behalf of the college.
Pres. Dwight's late report shows that Yale received $750,000 from bequests and donations during the past year.
Amherst has a committee similar to the one recently appointed at the U. C., composed of members of the four classes into whose hands is given everything partaining to discipline among the students. The plan seems to work well.

Racine is in danger of perishing for lack of support. If the collegiate department is opened at all next year it will only be after extensive, though it is hoped temporary, changes.

It is claimed that the first female college in the world was built in Georgia.
A test is to be made at the Ohio State University where students were expelled for non-attendance at chapel. It is held under the "bill of rights" that no State institution can compel attendance at any religious exercises. The legislature appointed a committee to investigate.
The University of Pennsylvania will erect the largest dormitory in the United States. It will cost $125,000.
It is estimated that in England one man in every five hundred gets an education, and in this country one in every two hundred.
MY SHIP.
She fell in love with the harbor buoy;
She couldn't have loved him more;
Yet one day jealousy spoilt their joy—
He caught her hugging the shore!
They fixed it up in the good old way,
As you can determine with ease.
For her captain wrote me the other day:
"She's enjoying a smacking breeze."
After holding the office for seventeen years, President Robinson, of Brown University, has resigned.
The voluntary system of chapel attendance at Yale has proved a failure.
The Yale faculty have decided not to accept the schedule of base-ball games unless a guaranice is given that tqure will be no demonstration until the close of the series.
An inter-collegiate athletic association has been organized among Dakota colleges. A contest will be held at Sioux Falls in May.
The authorities at Swarthmore college carefully preserve the house in which Benjamin West, the printer, was born. It stands on a corner of their campus.

That whoever perpetrated that theme on "love" in the Senior English class, is lying very low just now.
That none of the Juniors are anxious to see H. M. Bear, Genl. Passenger and Ticket Agent of the late lamented Junior picnic.
That those of the "trooly good" who are roaming about the halls with little slips of paper asking odd questions about ones age, spiritual prospects and physical condition, are very much of a chestnut.
That it is now the thing to work your much abused sire to the tune of an extra remittance in order to be able to leave town by rail.

A committee was appointed by the Seniors to confer with the committee of the Alumni and make arrangements for a social dinner after commencement.
Most of the Seniors attended court to see that strict justice be done to the colored gentlemen.

In last Sunday morning's Journal there appeared an original poem read by Prof. D. H. Robinson before the "Old and New" club at the Eldridge House May 4th. From it we clip the following beautiful selection:
OLD AND NEW.
- * * * * * * * * * * * *
Mystic circle, all embracing,
Reaching far as thought can go,
Present, past, and future tracing,
Seeking wisdom high and low,
All that finite mind can know.
The old is heir of all the ages,
Wisest child of father time;—
Wrought for him the heroes, sages,
Martyrs, wits of some clime.
Toiled and died a death sublime.
The new will come in brighter glory,
Swift will come on winged years,
Come to us and tell its story,
Bringing rapture, joys and tears,
Blessed hopes, and bitter tears.
Complete the mystic circle now,—
Wismod joined with beauty rare,
Apollo's locks and Juno's brow,
Heavenly wisdom, queenly air,—
Olympic court was not more fair.
This charmed circle none may sever;
All who enter must abide;
Ours once, you are ours forever,
Watson'e may you bethee,
Old and New you must abide.
Travel far then, widely roam,
Do the deed that's nobely done,
In our hearts you're still at home;—
A ray may through creation run,—
Its home is still within the sun.

Science Club.
The fourth annual meeting of the Science Club will be held in the lecture room at Snow Hall this afternoon and evening. The following program will be rendered :
AFTERNOON SESSION.—2:30 P.M.
Some of the professors seem to think that the preparatory students are not deserving of the same respect as those in the higher classes. By "some" I wish to be understood as meaning a very few, for most of the professors know how to deport themselves towards the students with common civility. As a body the students of the University are poor but earnest young men and women, who come here for the purpose of study and to make the best possible use of their time; and for a professor to stand up before a class of such students and blandly inform them that nine tenths of them haven't brains enough to know black from white is more presumption than we would attribute to the average college professor. We have in mind one or two professors, who think it smart to amuse the rest of the class at the ex-

Dr. Howland spoke on the territorial acquisitions of the United States. The greatest real estate transaction the world ever saw was the Louisiana purchase. In making that bargain President Jefferson proved himself a far-seeing speculator and a wise statesman, and to him belongs the honor of having done the greatest act among all that have been achieved by individual efforts in the history of our country, not forgetting Lincoln's horic measures in making this statement. The northeastern boundary ought to have been extended to the St. Lawrences; it would have made such a fine natural boundary. The older among my hearers—xcluding, of course, the ladies—will undoubtedly remember the watchword, "54, 50 or fight." Texas really annexed itself, but then "Barkis was willin," and the lone star joined its brilliant sisters.
