AGAIN THE THALIANS.
It is a pity that the light footed gentlemen who recently perfected the organization known as the Thalians, did not consult an advisor before announcing their name. "Thalians," according to their own definition, was chosen to honor the Greek goddess Thalia, who was, as they said, the patron of dancing. All of which is true. But here a thought intrudes that is probably out of keeping with the original intention of the Beau Brummels of the University. Thalia was goddess of the dance such as was affected by the rustic brethren after they had gathered in their hay in the fall, after the pumpkins had been laid by,after the butter and eggs had been marketed, after their fat porkers and sheep had been sold. The lowing of the kine, the bleat of the sheep and the grunt of a pig were the sweet sounds they heard. Sweet Thalia smiled on the antics of the country bumpkins and lassies as they made merry after their labors on "the dear old farm."
We must confess that it is a long step from such a pastoral scene to the one that is about to be perpetrated in our midst. Oh, but pardon us; probably "Thalians" is not a misnomer after all. It is doubtless the intention of the thirty Chesterfields to have programs bound in slices of bacon and to give out eggs set on a butter patties as dance favors. The
novelty of the idea would be sure to enhance the success of the dances.
STUDENTS' DAY
"Students' Day" is something that ought not to be neglected by the student body. The plan of having one day during the year set aside as one on which the members of every department of the University may gather together and meet on common ground, ought to be encouraged by all. Our school is sadly lacking in traditions. In a great many institutions they are among the most important phases of student life and the time is ripe for something to be started that shall remain in University life long after the present student generation has departed. The election of speakers from the several schools ought to engender a keen rivalry for an honor that ought to be considered among the choicest that the University can offer. Let us make "Students' Day" stand for all that the name implies.
We move that all Laws be barred. It has been announced that on "Students' Day" the gentle and elevating game of pitching for a crack will be a feature of the entertainment. We believe that assiduous practice in which various seekers for legal lore have engaged, has so perfected these coming barristers in the intricacies of the sport, that the ban of professionalism should prohibit them from participating.

will be ordered for duty to the Mexican frontier. Several rousing "Rock Chalks," interspersed with a sonorous vocalization of "Hail, hail, the gang's all here" by the leather-lunged cadets collected off the top of Oread, would doubtless provide sufficient incentive to cause the belligerent "greasers" to hunt for cover and to make the Hon. Diaz toe the mark.
Chemical Society Meeting
