The Inter-Collegiate debate between the Northwestern and the U. of M., takes place at University Hall, on Friday evenlng next. The meeting will be a memorable one. The many strange ladies, both old and young, upon our Ktreets last Frlday and Saturday, were the mothers, sisters and sweethea'rts of the young men who attended the Junior hop. The students in all departments - even the law- are being given enough to do this year so that they are kept out of mischief. There is far more bohning this year than customary. The University of Chicago, with its standard oil revenue, has swoopeü down upon the U. oí M. and scooped up one of her professors. Prof. John Dewey, holding the chair of philosophy, haa aceepted a similar posltion in the Chicago institution. A good philosopher reasons : "the greater 'the salary the more money I can make," and that is why Prof. Dewey leaves here. THe anual election of the S. C.

University Hall was well fllled Sunday evening, the occasion of the annual address of the Students' Christian soeiation, to listen to the lecture of Dr. Graham Taylor, of Chicago Theological Seminary. President Ladd had charge of the meeting, and after scripture reading by Kev. J. N. Bradshaw and prayer by Rev. J. M. Gelston, President Angelí introduced Dr. Taylor.
