The presentation of a portrait of the late Dr. Dentón to the University by Judge Kinne is an act that is inuch appreciated by the University authoritiea. Dr. Dentón was one of the early professors and a man very much respected in the community. Those who have subscribed to the gymnasium fund bat have not paid their subscriptions, are respectfully solicited to do so. Every morning this week from 9 o'clock to 9 : 45 subscriptions will be received by Secretary AVade at his office. Secretary Wade has presented a handsomely framed view showing the restoration of the Acrópolis at Athens, to the University and it is now in Room E. It ranks in size next to the large painting of Rome, and is an admirable counterpart thereof. The route laid out by the Glee and Banjo Clubs for the season is as follows : They will appear at Ionia April 9, Grand Rapids April 10, Chicago April 11, Joliet April 13, St. Louis April 14, Kansas City April 15, Topeka April 16, Leavenworth April 17, St. Joseph April 18, Council Bluffs April 20, DeMoines April 21, Kalamazoo April 22. It was remarked some days ago by one of our instructora, that the student of today at his font of knowledge is " a more civilized being " than his predecessor of some years ago. In proof thereof and as the cause for bis remark, he added that the newer books of the library are much freer from the more or less sage comments of students, who take upon themselves the task of reviewing in marginal notes the volumes they read, There are a few of us who have not encountered these evidencea of a past barbarism in the course of our reading, and it should always be a souree of satisfaction for us to observe that the defaced volume is old, the defacement blurred and faded, and the vandal evidently of a past decade. - Chronicle-Argonaut. The 3rd concert in the course given by the Choral Union took place last Friday evening, and was a success in an artistic and musical sense, likewise in point of numbers present, for University Hall was well filled, and all were delighted. An orchestra of 19 pieces under the leadership of Wilhelm Yunck, of Detroit, helped make up the musical feast, and the chorus was assisted by Miss Nellie A. Goodwin, soprano; Mrs. N. S. Hoff, contralto ; Homer Warren, tenor; and Edwin C. Crane soloist. The presentation of Christoforus proves how much can be accomplished by continual and persistent push, such as Prof. Stanley gives to his classes and his work. It is by far the best entertainment yet offered by the Union. The University of Michigan Oratorical Association gives its initial contest at University Hall on Friday evening, under the auspices of the Students' Lecture Association. There will be seven orations in all, four by literary students and three by law students. The literary department will be represented by Messrs. W. B. Kelley and W. H. Nichols of the senior class ; W. H. Dellenbeck, junior; and A. J. Ladd, sophomore; and the law department by W. F. Wanless and A. C. Gormley, seniors, and A. E.Ewing, junior, in the following order: Kelly, Wanless, Gormley, Ewing, Nichols, Dellenback, Ladd. The one who comes out victorious will represent the University in the contest of the Northern Oratorical League, to be held in this city sometime in May. These oratorical contests are events to be fostered and encouraged. They are necessary to the proper training of a professional man. But the true orator is one who has something within him to say, and who gets up before an audience and says it. LAW DEPARTMENT KESOI.UTIONS.
