"A Formal Introduction to the Birds of the Campus," might well be the full title of the new case of birds that has been arranged on the second floor of the Museum. It contains specimens of the birds that have been seen on the campus, and, more than that, it shows each one labelled with the common name by which the bird is known.
Several of these birds are well-known to the casual observer, but a majority are not known to the average student, at least not by their proper name. Some of them are called "that little yellow bird with the back wings" or "that peculiar-looking pinkish gray bird that lives in the evergreens," but now there is no excuse for a student of the University not knowing the correct English name of any bird that flies across the "hill."
The department of ornithology will welcome any suggestions that may be offered correcting or critiquing the choice of the species of birds represented. These are the feathered University people:
Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Mourning dove,
cardinal, blue-jay, brown thrasher,
screech owl, towhee, hairy woodpecker,
chickadee, bronzed grackle, cow bird,
red-bellied woodpecker, sharp-shinned
hawk, bluebird, myterwilder, flicker,
Mexican cross-bill, bob-white, redstart,
whitebreasted nuthatch, tufted tinnize,
rose-breasted grosbeak, cedar
waxwing, brown creeper, yellow-breasted
chat, fox sparrow, goldfinch, yellow
warrior, Harris' sparrow, indigo bunge-
ting, yellow throated warbler, chimney
swift, purple martin, Kentucky warbler,
slate-colored junco, Bell's viro, reedeyed viro, kingbird, English sparrow,
pine siskin, golden crowned kinglet,
Baltimore oriole, meadowlark, robin,
downy woodpecker, red-headed woodpecker

Report That Fifteen Professors Flunked Out Brings Gleam of Comfort.
"Tis a hard, hard year," said Registrarian Foster, as he sadly looked over a clothes basket full of student reports this morning. "Not only will the career of a few promising students be checked by the bugleman 'Flunk' but the same mark will be handed to at least fifteen professors of the University."
The Seniors of the Chi Omega sorority will entertain the senior girls of the university informally. Saturday afternoon, February 10 from 1 to 6.
All grades were supposed to be handed to the Registrar within twenty-four hours after examination in order that the Deans could be promptly notified in case of flunks. Very few of the reports were in on time and today noon more than fifteen professors were delinquent.
As one thousand grades yet remain to be written down there will probably be some delay in the issuing of reports. Students desiring their grades at the quickest possible moment should leave a card at the Registrar's office. They will be mailed to them as soon as they are handed in.
"Well, what will they do next?"
Here's the Answer :
All the $27.50 Suits we have left are now included in the big clearance at
$15.00
This makes the line-up as follows:
All $20 Suits, all $22.50 Suits, all $25 Suits, and all $27.50 Suits now reduced to $15.
And here's another big thing: $15 and $16.50 Suits and Overcoats, now $10.
If you wear size 33, 34, 35 or 36, you will find a glorious bargain in our big clean-up of Winter Suits up to $15, now

DICKENS IN CAMP
Above the pines the moon was slowly drifting,
The river sings below,
the sky beyond, unplitting
their murmurs of snow;
The roaring camp-fire, with rude humour, painted
On haggared face and form that droop ed and flatter. In the middle for wealth.
Till one arose, and from his pack's scant treasure
And cards were dropped from hands of listless leisure
In the fierce race for wealth;
To hear the tale anew;
And then, while round them shadows gathered faster,
Had writ of "Little Nell;"
Perhaps *twas*, boyish fancy—for the
reader
He read along the book wherein the Master
Wrote that "Nalak."
reader Was youngest of them all,—
But, as he read, from clustering pins and cedar
A silence seemed to fall;
The fir-trees gathering closer in the shadows,
Wandered and lost their way;
While the whole camp, with "Nell" or English meadows,
would come from that way.
And so in mountain solitudes—o'er-
taken
Their cares dropped from them like the needles shaken
From out the gusty pine.
Lost is that camp, and wasted all its fire;
And he who wrought that spire
Ah, towering pine and stately Kential
Ye have one tale to tell!
Lost is that camp! but let its fragrant story.
Blend with the breath 'hilt BRHls'
With hop-vines' incense all the pensive
That fills the Kentish hills.
And on that grave where English os
and,holly...
And laurels wreaths entwine,
Deem it not all a too presumptuous
This spray of Western pine!
July, 1870.
BRET HARTE.
One hundred years ago, on Friday, February 7th, at No. 387 Commercial Road, Landport, Portsea, was born the great English novelist, Charles Dickens.

In his gallery are more than one thousand portraits, drawn with an unerring hand, and bewildering in their infinite variety. Little Nell and Fagin, David and Sairey Gamp, Rev Chadband and Peggetty, Little Paul and Sam Weller, Tiny Tim and Mr. Micawber.
The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity has pledged the following freshmen: Scott Griesa, Ray Foulkes and Charles Milton.
