IS.EPHEMERON.(fhe Ephemeron is an insect which, in its winged state lasts but a day, orat most-a very brief time.)Poised on the half oped eyelids of the day,In shimm'r ing garb, like to the dawn's pale ray,­An evanescent creature, fleeting fast,With naught of future, yet with naught of past;In train of day's great king, it jLYOUS r ide-sAthwart the vaporous morning clouds, and glidesInto existence full, aerially;Then pauses at its entrance flick' ringly.The tenuous wings bear it from flower to flowerIn quick uncertainty; it feels its hourIs short. This ever rising tide of lig t,That beats in tremulous waves of gleaming might,Must ebb and leave these sunny groves in shade,The pool in mystery.

In feeble strife it mayRetard the moment of its vanishing;Yet sure its death, and fairy voices singIts Requiem sad in solemn, mournful tone.It dies when day is done,-Ephemeron ! N ow in the archetypal world in whoseTranscendant plan we all had place, we loseNo slightest creature. This brief life may showThe transience of all things that here we know.A wondrous city from the brain of man,The hand of genius sketched; the noble planWas soon fulfilled. Time held in woncl'r ing handsHis hour glass.--No one heeded tardy sands.A miracle it was, ,--this pale white dreamOf earthl y splendor; yet did scarcely seemTo come from earth. It enters on morn's wmgsFrom cloud realms far away and full fledged springsTo being, All too brief its glorious day!The misty veiling of its dawn's pale grayFrom spire and minaret is upward rolled,And noon tide's glory bursts in white and gold.Alas this beauty perished and was lostAt eventide; and carelessly t'was tossedUpon the waves of passing time, which boreIt to Eternity's far unseen shore:Ephemeral it was,-this "City White, "And still we dream that in th' unfading lightOf some fair land, its wondrous dayNe er darkens into night, but lasts for aye,MIGNONETTE.THE dim, grey light of earliest dawn was over allthe world, and very cold and dull and unat­tractive the world looked under its dominion, for itchased away the loveliness of night, while it broughtno beauty of its own to replace it. Th'e fire-flylamps, which, since the moon's setting, had helpedthe stars to light the fairies' revels, grew wan as thispale glow appeared, and the small elves, hasteningto flee before the sun should open the gates of hisroseate palace, ceased their dancing and betook them­selves to bed. The fairy musicians, who, seated on acobweb, woven over the leaves of the wild maiden­hair, had been drawing dulcet strains from some ofits silvery fibres, put back in their proper places theirother dainty instruments (clover stems had served asflutes and bleeding hearts as violins, while a honey­suckle blossom gave forth sweet bugle notes) andspreading their shining gossamer wings prepared forhasty flight,A gentle fairy, who had acted that night as direct- ress of the. orchestra, lingered for a moment, lightlypoised upon the delicate strands of Madame Ara­chne's weaving, then gave herself a little shake, thatcaused a number of shimmering pearls to fall fr0111her dress upon the web."There," said she to the maiden-hair, who hadgrumbled at having cobwebs woven over her gracefulfoliage; " there, that will make you forget the troublewe' have given you." And she flew away to a greenfern that nodded near by, and the fern received herand lovingly curled the ends of his lace like frondsabout her elfin highness. Foolish mortals, seeing thecurled leaves, thought the plant had faded, and neverdreamed of the little guest to whose comfort he hadsacrificed his beauty.The fairy king betook himself to a haughty tiger­lily who gladly opened to him a richly tinted chalice;the queen flew to a wild rosebud that unfolded herpink petal's and closed them again about her graciousmajesty, so that you would never have known thatM, F, M.that stupid mignonette in the midst of his bows tozephyr, brushed his ugly leaves right up against hisneighbor, broke to pieces the glittering web, and sentthe pearls tumbling to the ground. Insult added toinjury! a brilliant fell upon one of his restless leavesand sparkled there. The maiden-hair trembled withindignation, and poor mignonette, ashamed of suchblundering, hun> his head, so that the pearl, which,at another time, he would have been charmed to wear,slipped unheeded to the ground and was shattered inthe fall.The zephyr fled away with a reproachful little sigh,and both maiden-hair and mignonttte felt inconsol­able. The sunbeams, however, presently cheeredthe former by lighting up her agitated leaves soprettily that she forgot her anger, though she went ontrembling from mere vanity. But the awkward plantwho had wrought the mischief found no comfort; theother flowers seemed to point their leaves in scorn athis ungainly foliage; there was, he fancied, a shadeof contempt in the very good-nature of the dancingsunbeams, and he hid his head under his leaves toavoid their glances. And when the zephyr passedthat way at evening, after the sunbeams had gonetrooping back to their gorgeous rainbow-tinted palace,the mignonette still stood with droopmg head, andhad no heart for bows or antics.Lady Moon came sailing over the sky in her cres­cent-shaped boat; the stars opened their twinklingeyes to smile a welcome to her; the flowers spreadwide their petals and set free their fairy guests.Madame Arachne fashioned another filmy platform,on which the elfin orchestra stook their stand. Sweetstrains of music, fain � as the rustling of the grasses,sounded all the night, and the fairy train dancedgaily among the flowers. Stupid mortals, had anychanced to pass, would have seen nothing but themoonlight shining_ through ever-rustling leaves; itwas gi ven only to the flowers and the stars and thefire-flies to see things as they really were.The moon sailed out of sight over the edge of theworld;the fire-flies came to light the revel in her stead;the grey dawn 'stole back again to extinguish theirfires, and fairies flew in haste to their differentpalaces. But the conductress of the orchestra tarrieda little; the maiden-hair was begging for more brilli­ants and recounting the sad fate of those previouslygiven, and her sympathetic listener was overtaken bythe day.- Birds began, with tuneful trills and twitters, towarble their matinal hymns; the sunbeams came frisk­ing down frorn the sky; the little elf had never heardbirds sing, nor even seen the sunlight, for before atthat time she had always been in bed, as all well-con­ducted fairies should be. The world looked so newand strange in the soft beauty of a summer morning,that she stayed to wonder at it, until-what was thatqueer, horrid, buzzing creature that came darting2 UNIVERSITY. OF CHICAGO WEEKLY"she was there, unless you understood the meaning ofthe opal she had dropped in entering and which gavethe last touch to the rose bud's beaut y.And other elves flew off to sleep in other flowers,wild pinks, and daisies and cheerful little dandelions,and when the jolly sun had opened his ruddy gatesand the sunbeams came dancing down to greet theirpretty friends, you may be sure they knew the mean­ing of the jewels in which the various blossoms werebedecked-the topaz which the dandelion bore soproudly, the emeralds which sparkled on the grassblades, the sapphires that betrayed the blue-bell'ssecret, the many colored jewels the fairy king had scat­tered at the entrance of his lily-palace. The sunbeamsknew and -laughed, and later in the day grew mis­chievous and stole away the brilliants, or rather ming­led them with the strength-giving wine which theysent coursing through the veins of every floweret; butfor a while the little rogues were content to leave thegems unharmed.But there was one poor flower who had no jewelsto show, for what elf would choose for a dwelling themignonette, that plain weed with such ungracefulleaves and dull, brownish blossoms? There wasabsolutely nothing attractive about him, no beauty,no fragrance; and then he had such an awkward,boorish fashion of shouldering his way through theworld, growing everywhere and over shadowing all theother plants-it was shameful! The ferns shiveredat sight of him; .the rosebud tossed her head withdainty scorn; the good-humored li ttle dandelion, whohad nothing to fear, being able to hold his ownagainst the strongest plants, cheerfully ignored hisso ber-colored co mrade. Al together the mi gnonettehad a lonesome time of it. The very sunbeams whichwere so lavish of their gifts to other blossoms, thoughthey greeted him kindly and gave him all the strengthhe needed, never brought him grace or beauty. Hewas everywhere scorned and neglected.A gentle little zephyr came with the first sunbeamsand rustled among the flowers, murmuring prettycompliments to nearly all the blossoms, who noddedtheir heads in pleased acknowledgment of her flatter­ies, And then she told them all the lattest news-how that Jack-in-the-Pulpit was meditating a ser­mon to the fairies on the evils of round dancing; howthe red clover had discovered that she had a mission,and declared that flowers should ha-ve some other aimin life than gathering honey for the bees; and how thehumming-bird had declared the scarlet poppy to bethe handsomest of flowers; you may be sure the otherflowers did not agree with him on this latter point.And then that clumsy mignonette must needs tryto play with Miss Zephyr, and' bobbed his brownhead and rustled his plain leaves with a great deal ofunnecessary moving and capering. The maiden hairwas proudJy bearing aloft her fetter, which she likedy�ry well IJ.,OW that the fairy had so bespang led it, whenuNiVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.towards her? A great stinging wasp! The fairy tookto her gleaming wings and flew hither and thither,seeking in terror for some place of refuge; but alas!all the flowers at hand were filled and had no hiding­place to offer her. She even flew up to a bird's nestin an oak) but the wee baby birdlings stared so withtheir odd little eyes and opened their ugly mouths sowide, that she fluttered away more frightened thanever.And all this time there was that terrible wasp inhot pursuit. What should she do? But at last akind protector appeared; honest mignonette saw andpitied her sad plight, opened his abundant foliage andbeckoned her, warmly yet timidly, as if he feared thatsuch a radiant creature would not deign, even in suchdire need, to come to him. But the little elf camejoyfully and nestled among his cool green leaves,which drew together and concealed her from the en­emy, so that she could sleep securely all day long.And there was no gambolling with zephyr for themignonette that morning; he hardly heeded even thesun beams, he was so busy thinking of the preciouscharge which lay at his heart. Pride and happinessseemed to almost transfigure him.When night came, the little elf stepped forth, butbefore unfolding her wings to join her fellow-fairiesshe paused a moment, perched on one of the leavesof her host, and bending over the tallest of his sobercolored blossoms, whispered to it. A change cameover the mignonette; he seemed to lose his awkward­ness; every stem assumed a pretty curve; each spraydrooped in the line of beauty; it was the secret of grace that the grateful sprite had im parted. Then shebreathed upon the flower and kissed it softly, and asweet fragrance filled the air, at which the other flowersrustled their astonishment, and the fire-flies twinkledwith surprise. And there has ever remained with themignonette a delightful perfume, such as always clingsabout fairies, and such as the sweets of no other plantcan surpass.After the ball his benefactress came back, choos­mg his foliage as her best resting place; and she cov­ered his flowers with jewels of emerald and topaz,and sprinkled all his leaves with silver dust so thattheir green was half hidden under this beautiful coating. Mignonette was such an humble-minded, goodnatured plant that no one envied him; rather all re­joiced over his brighter fortunes. The sun beams'kissed him in congratulation, zephyr murmured thevery choicest compliments, pretty Miss Rosebudwaved her felicitations; �ome fair maidens who camethat way stopped to inhale his fragrance and said itwas a pity to let such a treasure of a flower grow wild;they must transplant it into their own gardens. In­deed, the elevation of mignonette excited such a buzzof comment that it was a wonder the noise did notdisturb the fairy who slumbered in his breast. Thusall things in nature and among mer! paid him theirtribute of love and praise. All his defects becamevirtues, even his obstinate habit of growing ("which,after all," laughed the sunbeams, "lle cannot help,")was considered one of his greatest merits, especiallyby mortals. Thus his hospitality has been rewarded,and the fragrance of a kindly act fills all his life withsweetness. ALICE E.

Residents of the U ni­versity were surprised Monday morning, when, glanc­ing over their Monday Record, Herald, or Times, theylearned that some time Saturday night cer tam build­ings on the campus had been decorated with stripesof vivid green paint,and that the inhabitants of one ofthe women's halls had been grossly insulted by havinglampoons and tin signs bearing inscriptions ofquestionable literary and moral value suspended fromthe door knobs and windows of their dormitory.Curious readers sallied forth to investigate, but metwith but few of the evidences of vandalism so vividlydescribed by the imaginative writer. Kent Hall wasobserved to bear on its north west corner the Greekletters Theta Nu Epsilon in green paint, but thisunsightly defacement had been causing infinite painto students and professors for some days, and hadnot been painted either Saturday night or Sunday.The decorations of Kelly Hall were not to be seen,and had either been removed d ur ing the early morn­ing hours or had never been made. An examina tion ofthe doors and windows of " Mr. Stagg's Gymnasium,"(the writer does not seem to regard this building asUniversity property) disclosed nothing new. Therewere no marks of footprints leading to the gymnasium$ ·75 The style of writing in all the newspaper accountswas similar, and we p�esume that one man wrote all.An investigation has shown that the regular univer­sity correspondents of the city papers are not account­able for the sensational articles. The zeal whichprompts newspaper men to invent "sensations" hascaused the writer to go beyond the bounds of pro­priety. His inventive faculty and vivid imaginationassisted him in the attempt to "scare up" a goodnewspaper story.The correspondent has no reason to feel proud ofhis" scoops." He has given the people of Chicagothe impression that the University has within itswalls the same species of students as those who havetime and again disgraced the proud name of many aneastern institution. Decent people will not respectmen who will knowingly deface college property andinsult women, and decent people will not upholdnewspaper writers in lying. The men who disgracedthemselves some days ago by defacing the beautifulKent building, can not be too heartily condemend. Athorough investigation should be made by the U ni­versity, and the offenders made to· pay the penalty, fortheir misd eeds.** *AN opportunity seems to be offered the Universityof Chicago to inaugurate a great and usefulinnovation-i-greater and more useful, perhaps, thanany it has yet accomplished. It lies in the directionof dealing with such marauders as those that recentlydisfigured the walls of Kent Laboratory. The tra­dition in such matters, is to make cases of this sortsubject to college discipline, a form of retribution usu­ally slow and ineffective, resulting in making the guiltya species of heroes to their admiring friends and col­lege-mates. College vandalism has hitherto been ata premium. Let a new era now begin. Let thiscase be treated as it would be had a private residenceor a business house been disfigured. Let the offen­ders be prosecuted in the criminal court, and sum­marily expelled from the U niversi ty. There is nothingheroic or alluring about that .. Such a course would showthat the prevailing sentiment of this city finds exactUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.and hearty response in the quadrangles; and it wouldindicate the high tone and law abiding spirit whichunquestionably pervades the whole body of students Hall and the three west side dormitories. Thieveshave easy access to these buildings at all hours ofthe night, the doors being always open. It is unrea-at the University of Chicago. The day has passed sonable to expect one man to properly care for sowhen it could be accepted that college students areexempt from the obligation to obey law and the usagesof decency. The following editorial from the eve­ning Post of January IS, voices the public sentiment:VANDALISM IN THE UNIVERSITY.Probably the government of the University of Chicago cannotpossibly be held responsible for the outrageous acts of vandalismcommitted by students night before last. But they will be heldresponsible if they neglect or fail to discover the perpetrators andto punish them severely.We had hoped. in common with every citizen. that the Uni­versity of Chicago, the most magnificently endowed and perfectlyequipped of American institutions of learning. would maintain thedignity attaching to it unimpaired by lawlessness and disorder.We had believed that the young men and young women whosegreat privilege It is to drink from this fountain of knowledge wouldvalue that privilege too highly to discredit it.It appears that we were in error. The body of students issober and decent, but it includes, as in other universities, a con­siderable number of persons who are hardly more decent whensober than otherwise.But if it was impossible to prevent their entrance it is notimpossible to drive them out. If the faculty do not drive themout the institution which lately seemed so full of glorious promisewill degenerate to the level of - -. A worse fate could notbefall it.The name of the institution referred to is withheld,as its mention is not a part of the purpose for whichthis editorial is quoted.** *•THE recent robberies in middle Divinity Dormi­tory have proven beyond a doubt that the Uni­versity authorities have been lax in their duty in notguarding private property on the University prem­ises. The robberies of last quarter caused consider­able unfavorable comment among students. TheUniversity was severely blamed for not protecting andguarding its property. It was announced that detec­tives had been provided who would be constantly onthe watch, and that no further depredations could occurwithout the offenders being brought to j ustlce.Scarcely had the students become accustomed to aquiet, unsensational existence when a robbery inDivinity, followed by another in Snell, caused the resi­dents of the halls to lose faith in the promises of theauthorities. As the WEEKLY has argued before, thereare not enough watchmen provided for the U n iver­sity. One night watchman is delegated to-patrol Cobb great a territory as this, and it is a matter of sur­prise that so few thefts have been committed. Andagain; Cobb Hall in the daytime has had no regularwatchman. The University has probably laboredunder the delusion that there were so many studentscoming and going that thieves would not attempt tocarry off property. Coats, hats and books are leftunguarded upon the racks in the hallways, and hadsneak thieves been "onto their jobs" (if we may bepardoned the expression) much valuable propertywould have been lost.N ow: if these depredations are to continue withoutany strenuous effort being made by the University tointerfere, the students should organize into a body toprotect their property. The thefts have been toofrequent to permit of any excuse on the part of theUniversity authorities. 1£ the University has the rightto demand from students occupying rooms on thequadrangle, observance of certain rules laid down,just so much are the students entitled to the protec­tion of property by the University authorities. Letmore heed be paid to this important matter. 1£ theUniversity having failed in its duty will still provideno remedy, let the students take the matter in theirown hands, and arrange for some measures by whichtheir property may be protected.** *THE meeting of the Commons Association brough tseveral disagreeable facts home to the membersOne was that the association was badly in debt.Another that under the present condition it will bealmost impossible to get out of debt. The member­ship, too, has steadily decreased until now the enrol­ment is about fifty members. President Harper wasat the meeting, and expressed his personal interest inthe Commons, and assured the members that theUniversity would heartily co-operate with them.I t would be regret able if the Commons should besuspended until a suitable building, for which fundshave been promised, has been erected. 1£ satisfactor­ily conducted, the Commons would be a very greatconvenience for all the stud en [S on the cam pus; ifdiscontinued, a number of student-waiters would havethat means of assistance cut off. But why has theCommons proved unsatisfactory? The cost of boardhas been $3.50 a week, and commutation tickets good6 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYofor twenty-one meals have been sold for $4.00.For that price private concerns have paid rentand made a profit, at the same time giving betterboard. The character of the officials and the over­sight of the U niversty authorities preclude any sus­picion of dishonesty. Why, then, has the Commonsbeen practically a failure?· In the opinion of theWEEKLY, it has been due to the inefficiency of themanagement. The stewards employed by the Stu­dents' Dining Association have doubtless done thebest they knew how. They have, however, altogetherlacked the experience requisite for conducting solarge an enterprise as the Commons at one time was.Hire an experienced steward and the whole questionwill be solved. This was the advice given a commit­tee from the association by successful caterers andresterateurs last spring. The experience in one east­ern college at least has shown the advice to be wise.The matter of buying economically and judiciouslyis the main problem to be solved. Soups and desertshave been served in the Commons that have beenunpalatable, and consequently not eaten. The justi­fication for the recurrence of this again and again hasbeen on the score of cheapness. What better argu­ment is needed for a more efficient management?When that is secured better board will be given at alower price, and the students will find it advantageousas well as convenient to become members of the Com­mons association.** *. "TH � �ook store was established at the U niver-sity solely as a matter of convenience." SoPresident Harper has frequently declared. But thebook store is only a convenience in potentiality, notas a completed fact. The students rely on the Uni­versity Press to furnish text-books promptly at thebeginning of each term. The manager knows thekind of books that will be .needed, and approx­imately the supply. Notwithstanding this, the booksrequired are seldom here on time, and very Ire­quently in insufficient quantities. This quarter theJoynes-Meissner, German Grammar, Cicero's Lettersand Meyer's History, as illustrations ready at hand,have been ordered in insufficient quanties, and thework of the thre e classes using these books has beenretarded. The Edition of "Tom Jones," requiredin Prof. McClintock's class in "The Developmentof English Novels," had not arrived when this waswritten. It is useless to speak 'of the well-knownf act that stationery and maIlY books are sold here at a higher price than they may be purchased for atother places. If the people will permit themselvesto be swindled it is no one's concern but their own.The delay, however, in getting books which it isunderstood the book store will be provided with,effects vitally the members of the University, andthey have a right to expect that it will be stopped.The Phi Kappa Psi's.The Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity held a banquet atthe Auditori�m hotel, Jan. 6th, as a two-fold celebra­tion. First, they had to celebrate the resusciation ofthe Illinois Beta Chapter, which had existed in theold University of Chicago. Secondly, they had tocelebrate the formal opening of "the new song-book ofthe Fraternity, which had just been issued under theeditorship of Dr. Robert Lowry.About seventy-five were present at the banquet,including the members of the new chapter. Thecharter of Illinois Beta was formally presented by theArchon of the District, G. Fred Rush. E. A. Buzzellof the old University, in a speech of welcome to thechapter, pledged the hearty co-operation of all theAlumni to Illinois Beta and to the University of.Chicago. A large number of the Aumni are residentsof the city, and it is expected that the chapter willderive large benefit from their advice and assistance.Chicago is the largest centre of Phi Kappa Psisin the country, many alumni from the East and \i\T esthaving settled here in business. It is estimated thatat present they number about ISO.The new chapter consists of ten members, fivebeing graduates and members of the Fraternity inother institutions, five being undergraduates, threeof whom were Phi Psis before coming to Chicago .The names are as follows:GRADUATES.Henry K.

Thesubject of last Sunday's lecture was "The Origin ofMan and His First State of Innocence."The chapel on Thursday evening was the scene ofanother of those enjoyable receptions for which theChristian Union has become famous in Universitycircles.

Alarge number of the students and faculty attended.The reception tendered by Miss Ellzabeth Wallaceand Miss Fannie C.

W. Moran '95. It was amost delightful 'party in every respect.The gold medal of the Royal Astronomic Societyhas been awarded to Prof. S. W. Burnham, late of-theLick Observatory in California but now of the U niver- sity of Chicago for his discoveries of double stars andother astronomical work.[This is a high honor, as the Royal Society is the leadingorganization of the kind in the world. Few Americans havereceived this distinction, and of those who have received it nonelived so far west as Chicago. Professor Burnham has discoveredmore double stars than all other living persons combined. Hebegan astronomical work twenty years ago with a six inch tele­scope. He confined his observations to a single line, the dis­covery and measurement of double stars, and this has enabled himto accomplish what he has. Little was known of the subject, butpeople thought his chosen field had been exhausted by the Her­schels and Struves. But he found a great many double stars withhis small instrument. Observers who were using much morepowerful instruments ascribed his success to accident. He keptright on, and soon his list of discoveries ran up to 300 or 400.This gave the instrument, if not the observer, a good reputation.He was soon fortunate enough to secure the use of the I8-inchinstrument at Dearborn Observatory, and when Mount Hamilton(Lick) Observatory was opened in 1888 he went there as astrono­mer. He was at Lick four years. He has discovered altogetherI,300 double stars. One has a period of a little over eleven years,andis the most rapid known. His observations for the last twenty yearsare printed in nineteen different catalogues. He has written agreat deal for astronomical periodicals, and his observations atMount Hamilton are now in press.]Head Professor T. C. Chamberlain has received theproud honor of being made president of the Ameri­can Society of Geologists.The Melancholy Club gave its second dinner Sat­urday evening.The west side of Kent Laboratory has beendecorated by having the Greek lettters Theta NuEpilson in green' paint on one of the ground stones.The unknown vandals who handled the brush soskillfully are receiving wholesale condemnation fromevery member of the community.President Harper has stated his position in thematter of of fraternities by deciding "that freshmencannot be pledged or asked to pledge themselves toany secret society during their first year of residence."The club rooms in the basement of Snell Hall areabout completed and will be ready for use after a fewweeks.Regular chapel goers have had the privilege oflistening to several fi oe musicians during the pastfew weeks. Last Thursday the Arion Quartet waspresent at the exercises, and later in the week Mar­timus Sieveking, the well-known Parisian pianist, wasa performer.W. Hill has been elected treasurer of GraduateHouse. The parlors on the first floor have beendecorated and tastely furnished, although the appro­priation for furniture was far too small to admit ofany elaborate outfitting. It has been decided topetition for two more rooms for reception purposes.Anv member of the house can upon application securethe- parlors' for his own use at any time. A tea setis to be purchased, and already many of the membersare planning to repay in a small way the many kind­nesses of their women friends across the campus. 78 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY,The Theological students will in future be requiredto pay for their rooms as do the other inhabitants ofthe dormitories. The revenue from the middle andsouth dorm i tor-ies will be devoted to a scholarshipand fellowship fund which will be distri bu ted todivinity students on the same plan that U niversi tyfellowships and scholarships are distributed.Out of fifty students attending the Chicago Acad­e111y on the west side, twenty are preparing to enterthe University of Chicago. The attendance in theacademy is fast increasing.The Charity Entertainment.The Dramatic Recital of Mr. S. H. Clark, assistedby the University 'Glee Club Friday evening, broughtout an audience which filled the auditorium of KentChemical Laboratory to the doors. At the en tranceall comers were met by Mr. Hammond who saidnothing, but pointed suggestively at a huge cash-boxwhich stood on a table. The people understood themeaning of M r. Hammond's gesture, and at the closeof the entertainment it was found that $104 bad beenraised for charity. The Glee Club appeared for thefirst num ber and sang two num bers.

The following is from the North western onthe subject:A league composed of Chicago, Lake Forest and North­western, could be maintained at very little expense, and all ISdmeswould be well attended, because of the convenience with whichthey could be reached. This would insure the managers of theathletic associations against financial loss. Moreover, the largeattendance at each game would increase interest in the leaguerace, and college spirit would. run high between the universities,which ale all practically Chicago institutions. Considerableinterest is being taken at Northwestern in the formation of the pro·posed league, and it is to be hoped that the students of Lake Forestand Chicago Universities wil l Iook upon the plan with favor.We should like to have the opinion' of our stu­dents as to the advisability of the league.ExchangesThe .l.Vorthwestern has been changed in form to athree column quarto. While the paper is not soattractive as formerally it is brighter, being devotedmore exclusively to news in its present from. Republican ClubThe Republican Club held an enthusiastic meet­ing in the Chapel on Tuesday of last week, at whichofficers for the ensuing year were elected, and plansdiscussed. A meeting will be called immediately forthe election of representatives to congress. The fol­lowing officers were elected: L .. B. Vaughan, Presi­dent; S. D. Barnes, Vice-President; R. G.

Meeting calledto order by Mr. Barrett, president of the association.Auditor Mr. Bownocker made the report of the finan­cial condition of the Commons as follows:Receipts during summer, June 23d to Oct.

The students took the Commons in chargeJ an. r s t, '93, at which an inventory was taken, whichinventory was turned over to the University. Thisinventory appears to have been lost, and there is' noway of getting at the cost of the plant when the stu­dents took it.The University in their report to the board of direc­to! s of the Commons listed the plant at $5,947.36. Thisthe board of directors refused to accept since it. wasbased on the original cost of the plant and not on theinventory. Discussion was continued on the advisa­bility of continuing the Commons. The discussionbrought out the following facts: A large majority ofthe students prefer cheaper board and are willing toput up with a home-made meal, not served in coursesand no choices in bill of fare. This explains thelarge. number of clubs which have sprung up on allsides. On the other hand, a large per cent of thesewho are willing to pay for board served in coursesand a bil i of fare giving a choice, prefer to go to moreattractive dining-rooms than the Commons have atpresent In view of this, a committee was appointedto act with board of directors to see if there were stu­dents enough who still preferred the Commons tomake the running of the Commons possible. Thediscussion was free and in general fair, except forone "long-eared," speech which brought forth itsappropriate number of hisses.The Law School of DePauw University will besuspended at the close of the .present term.UN1VERSITY OP CHICACO WEEKLYoETCHINGS.A RUDE GIRL'S REPLY.I DO not identify myself with t h« rude girl, noticebut still I plead guilty to the general allegationmade in B. Lase's pungent list of autobiography, andwish to offer for myself, and all others similarly situ­ated, a general explanation to whom it may concern.For the rude girls who have been so scathinglyclassified. I should make a new classification. Theshort-sighted, the absent-minded, the stupid. Aftera series of oversights as to recognition, you set out inthe morning firmly resolved to bow right and left.You see a familiar face after chapel. You are walkingwith a friend. Rashly, you bow. The owner of thefamiliar face approaches you, and as you walk outtogether you are grimly aware that an introductionbetween him and your friend is in order. But hisname is a mystery to you. This is trying.As you take your seat at a lecture, a look of intel­ligent recognition dawns upon the countenance ofthe young man beside you. You bow. He returns thegreeting and enters upon a series of whispered re­marks. He ought not to, but alas, he sometimesdoes. Finally, as you part, he is so naive (some menare naive) as to ask for your name. This is decid­edly pleasant, and leaves dire suspicions lurking inyour mind.In rapid succession you meet three or four youngmen at a reception, One of them is short and wearsglasses. The next morning with a sportive conscious­ness of virtue, you bestow one of your pleasantestbows upon a short man with glasses. You are metby a stare of stark surprise. This also is pleasant.As to the method of subdual, described by B.Lase, one wonders if somebody had not been stuffinghim, for unless one reads between the lines of hissimple tale, it is a strain upon our credulity. Per­haps the rude girl herself will explain.Tactless but well meaning friends have assertedthat I was the luckless individual held up to the pub­lic scorn, but I have always been able to controvertthis theory by reference to the "regalement of herchums," of which they could not accuse me, but Ifrankly confessed to being.ONE OF THE STUPID. CLASS-ROOM ETEQUETTE.The following suggestive maxims are extractsfrom a comprehensive manual which has yet notbeen completed:Apphwble to first-year French or German.I. Arrive ten or fifteen minutes late. This will beafter the black board assignments have been made,andwill save unpleasant crowding at the board.2. If you are called upon to recite, remain silentuntil your name is spoken. In a class unfamiliar to theinstructor this will facilitate his acquaintance withthe names and also avoid a more frequent reference toyou than your modesty would relish.3· If you are called upon for a foreign word,mumble it adroitly. This will allow the instructor touse his imagination freely, and will save your breath.An alternative is permissible. Assume an earnestair and say that you can not pronounce it. This willconvince the instructor of your conscientious care.4- If you are called upon to correct another'swork upon the board, show no hesitation, howeverprofound your ignorance. With a severly judiciallook, -turn to the sentence. This will inspire a nerv­ous tenor in their writer, and he will hasten to makethe corrections which you could never have made.This will encourage independent work from others.5. In general, a�oid too distinct articulation ofinitial and final consonants. This will enrich theinterpretative powers of the instructor.6. If the fatal moment -canriot be staved off, sayfirmly but kindly, with an accent of surprise, thatyou have not prepared the lesson. This will modifythe overbearing annoyance of your instructor, andinspire admiration in your class mates.7. Do not be intimidated by a frequent repetitionof the annoyance. Maintain your position proudlythroughout the term. This will develop consistencyin your character.8. In the examination flunk gracefully. Thiswill prolong your stay at a delightful institution,besides making your name familiar to a most d istin­guished body of men.N. B. Etiquette at lectures will be d.iscussednext week. O. o. s .•To Poe.Thou dread dissecter of the living soul!Thy pen has traced the dim, uncertain lineImaged between the finite and divine,With all the fancies of a Dante's scroll.Each tinkling bell, each stream, and every knollHeld thee interpreter.
