Light DerJs vs. Mortar boards. Tlie uiuversity nine have received a chai Luce l'rom the Dexter club. Kev. Dr. Cocker is to deliver the Iiaccalauréate address, which will be published Ir the Commencement Animal. Miss Florence Holden received the prizc awarded in the senior examination of th( homeopatliic department, by Dr. Eldrldge of Flint. The university nine got most beautif ull whitewashed in their game with the C'at; club of Detroit, last Monday, by a score of 4 to 0. The question naturally suggests ltself, will President Frieze take back thosegvxxl words lic sak! in the chapel to the boys when those class hats were christened ? The editors of the Commencement Annual are already busily at work, getting the paper into "shlp-sliape" and all of tho preliminary work out of the way for the grand rush of comraencement week. The adjourned meeting of the students' lecture association, held for the purpose of breaking the dead-lock on president, was not extremely exciting. Comparati'-'. few yqtes wer cast. E. E. viit.. - vhc -Hfül candidate. P. D. Eothwell, the class historian of the senior medies, has prepared a sheet of very pertinent qnestlont for the members to answer, and be will have yeast enough to raise a tip-top article of class history; that is, if the members respond is tliey sliould. The Adrián Times tells about a lady of Ogilen township, in that eounty, Mrs. Wm. Johnson, who has been ill for some timo, and whose disease has recently taken a peculiar forni, that of entirely losing the power of speech. She Is now being treated at the medical department. It is a remai kable c An informal reception for the meinhirof the student's Christian association, is announced for Friday eveniug .Tune 8d, in their rooms. Only members will bo :tdmitted. Reports will be expected from the delegates who attended the national meeting at Cleveland, also an inaugural from the newly elected president, and farewel! words fiüiu deparüiifi members. Last Tuesday evening the new Clirouicle board met and elected each other to the following positions for next year i JManagInf Editor, J. E. Beal; Various Toji T.Ciray; Exchanges, GF.W.Stlpto; Tttngl Chronicled, W. Streeter; General Litera ture, II. E. Spaulding; Personáis, R. G. West; Llterary Notes, R. W. Cooley; Secretary and Treasuer, F. E. Baker. The riwhes of the freshmen and sopliomoro classes, which have taken place of late, have given the boys a good deal of the old class spirit which recent changes in the university courses had sought to oblitérate. They have also given the professors something to lccture about. How singular that the purchasing of chías hate should so arouse the boys, combative qualities. The house "set down on" thatlenate bill to estublish a chalr of eclectio medicine at the university. It will be remembered that the senate passed the bill. So another dread bone of contention ia kept out of the campus. A three-cornered medical flght as fierce as the littleandblg pill mmbat, would hasten the time which these two combatants are bringing on as rapidly as they can, when all appropriations will be choked oir. The university temperance assoclatinn can now have a spleiuliil oppurtiinity (o exert its influence over the young men who so fiir forget tlieirown rideand manhood as to toiirli tin mtOAicatin cup, and .itter doing tliat so far forget the rights oi our clticns as to destroy their property. Fun, lile and cnergy are admirable qualities in all young men, liut the destruction of property, the puiling upof walks, the carryin off of gates, and the (Jrinking of beer and m hiky, v ntitliei the onc nor the ntlier. It i.s glven out tbat important changes in the courses of study at the university hav been decided upon by the faeuKy, which are to be submitted to the board of regenta at their coming meeting. The studies of the freshuian clou in all courses are to be required; in the sophomore year it 8 proposcd to give those in the classic 1 and Littin courses the privilege of dropping elther Latin, Oreek or mathematics, and electing niiy other study tlicv may chooso. Thi?, it will be seen will reduce the requirod worlt of theso students to mie and two-third yeaM, the rumaindcr of the full course being open to elective studies. Scientific studies are dropped from the list of those required of classical and Latin stiulcnts, hut one year's French is added to the clussical couree. There is also a reduction of required studies in the English course. The changes in the scientilic course are uot vet fully decided upon.
