Farther experimento will follow, and the identity of the poison determined beyond doubt The freshman class held meeting last Saturday at which arrangemeats were made fur the annual class supper, class colors adopted and the subject of bats and gowns referred to a committee. There is considerable sentiment in the class toward adopting the Oxford cap and gown and it may be efier all that it will fall to the lot of '91 to adopt this college dress that bas been talked of so much by every incoming class, but which hag been given up through lack of courage to establish a new custom. The patronage that the people are giving the efforU of the Students' lecture association this year is oertainly far from fiattering; no better class of entertainments than the association have given, could be procured ; yet the attendance so far has iailed to meet expenses. Had Haverly8 minatrels been substituted for the fine entertainment given by Boston Temple Quartette last Saturday evening the hall would have been filled, and the taste of our University town thus indicated would have been the laughing stock of all the jolly people of the state. There is just as much to make fun about, thougb, in the vast crowd of pedantio individuals who are always longing for gomething fine and who will remain away from the Boston Quartette entertainment or a Parker's lecture and then go to Detroit to hear Ada Gray.
