They passed belligerent resolutions challengiDg the oiher politieal clubs in the University to joint discussions on the politieal issues of the day. The resolution in regard to salaries passed by the board of regents promises to raise some nice questions and no little feeling. It unqu-stionably will raise the salaries of Prof. Morris, Prescott, Greene, Winchell, and D'Ooge to $2,500 afujr next Uctober; but there is doubt how it will effect oiher professors. The resolution ays : ''That there be added to the pay of those professors in the literary department who have full rank and pay ot $2,200, the sum of $100 for each five years oL such service in this or any other college until the sum of $2,5üO is reached." Now some professors have had full rank, but not the full pay of $2,200, for various ternas.
