The fraternity boys began to be frightened last Friday afternoon when it became generally reported that the "barbs" were organized to break up their jamboree. The report turned out to be false and the boys enjoyed themselves in grand style.
There is a good deal of just complaint among some of the students because certain professors pay no attention to the signal bells. We have known classes to be kept over time so long that the chancellor came around to see what was the matter. Only this week one professor detained the class seven minutes after the second bell had rung. Now this does the professor no good, and brings reproach upon many of our best scholars. We suggest a change.

Girls never give themselves over to such hearty enjoyment as when no masculine eye can prey upon their revels. For some time the members of the three girls' fraternities had been discussing a joint meeting and jollification, and last Friday night their plans materialized, the young ladies thinking they might never have another chance to pe so free from interruption. Mr. and Mrs. Bowersock kindly opened their spacious house to the merry crowd, by whom the favor will not soon be forgotten. The fun began early and lasted till late. Dancing, singing college songs, athletic exercises, and several mystic performances not to be found in any other fraternity ritual, made such sport that the gravest forgot her dignity and made the house ring with laughter. The girls did justice to the banquet, but words cannot. As before stated, it was late when the revelers departed, voting themselves the most delightful entertainers to whom they had ever been included.

College Songs.
At last our Friday nights are again free from any important engagements, and we can devote ourselves with renewed energy to college songs.
We are glad to announce that the literary societies have been good enough to give a half hour of their time to college singing, so that the Christian societies may no longer be interfered with. It is to be hoped now that the Christian societies will be equally generous and come to the singing The meetings will be opened at 7.45, in Athenaeum hall, and will be held every Friday evening. This song association has so far been very favorably regarded by the students, and we hope their interest will continue to increase until they become sufficiently enthusiastic to start a college glee club. Why haven't we a little more spirit in this matter?

The club intends to push matters as soon as the weather permits.
The age of chlvaly is not yet passed. A box of large, luscious oranges, a present from a Beta, arrived Wednesday afternoon from Old Mexico, directed to the Lawrence Chapter of Beta Theta Pi. The box was not taken to the fraternity hall, nor were all loyal Betas invited to meet in secret in the room of one of the members to have a spread. But four gallant knights of Beta Theta Pi carried that heavy box about town generously giving to their friends until the box grew light and the oranges few. The girls all say that the oranges were delicious, and that the boys are not to be surpassed in generosity and gallantry. X. Y. Z.

Philological Club
Prof. Marsh spoke of the late Franz Heuffer and of his work on the Troubadors. This is about the only book in English at all scientific in its treatment of the subject. Heuffer was trained at Goettingen, and on the whole well. He has not attempted to write for scholars alone, but his work everywhere shows that he was himself a scholar. He has not, for instance, a trace of the now absolote doctrine that Provengal poetry was first inspired by the neighboring Arabs. He has given up, with Diez, those fantastic courts of love which Reynoud thought up, and which still linger in popular English accounts of the Troubadors. He depicts accurately Provengal society and art, bringing out the insufficiency of the ideas of Provengal writers, at the same time that he makes clear that the love for beauty of behavior and of surroundings was perhaps the most fruitful element contributed by Provence to medieval civilization. Heuffer's book, though in no sense a strictly scholarly and scientific treatise, is of great value for English readers.
Prof. Wilcox showed to the club and talked of Baumeister's "Mnuments of Classical Antiquity." This comprises three large quarto volumes of 2224 pages of text and 2401 cuts, besides a volume of over a hundred plates, most of them double-paged, 28 of them colored. The aim of this work was to describe the religion, art and manners of the Greeks and Romans, and gather together in a handy and cheap [the cost of the whole work unbound is only $17.25] form a large collection of illustrations of the same, for those who are unable to have at their command the large number of expensive archaeological publications, or who have not sufficient training to use them properly. The ground the work covers is all art, mythology, antiquities of common life, coins, the most important historical personages, typography of the most important places, the army and marine, epigraphy and palaeolography, excluding all political and literary history, geography, and political and legal institutions. The subjects are treated in alphabetical order by some ten dozen specialists, all famous names. Some of the articles are perfect books in themselves. There are 65 pages, for instance, on Athens, 92 on Olympia, 81 on Pergamon, 98 on Rome, 80 on vases, 63 on weapons of war, all illustrated profusely.
Miss Rudolph spoke of the tendency in the Middle Ages to connect the city of Rome with Semitic and Bible history and characters, and traced briefly the myth of the foundation of Rome by Noah.
Prof. A. G. Canfield spoke of a new series of texts for French classes, the first of which is L'Avare of Moliere by Prof. Schele de Vere.
Prof. Marsh announced the death of Prof. Vigfussion, at the time of his death the greatest Icelandic scholar in the world. He also read the official circular announcing the formation of a society at Cambridge for the study of the spoken English and other non-aboriginal dialects of the United States and Canada.
