The Studente' Register tells of a Students' Chrisit'an Association worker, engaged in taking the religions census of the students at the university, who mistook Prof. I. N. Demrnon for a fresnman and asked him about his religious belief. The professor enjoyed the joke as muoh as anyone. The census taker was not a freshman, either. Dr. V. C.

President Angelí has received a clipping from a Germán newspaer bureau, cut frorn the Weser-Zeitung, of Bremen, Germany, which gives an interesting account of life at the O. of M. Erom a Germán student's standpoint. He appears to have been very well satisfied with his experience at the university, although be says his favorite co-ed failed to invite bim to the leap year party last February, and he is therefore rather agaiust co-edneation.

The clerk began to flll ont a raarriage license, aud all went well till he asked who the 'she' was. The fresbman fled in great oonfasion. Freshmau No. 2, not knowing that invitations to join fraternities aie nusolioited, boldlv walked iuto one of the largest ohapter houses aud annonnoed his intention of joining.
