Some time next terra we are to have a Senior Special, all the performers coming from the Senior class. Books for vacation must be taken from the library on next term's quietus. All books should have been returned Jo-day. 'Will Golden, of the Senior class,is much better,being now able to sit up,but has not been able to attend college these last few days of the term. Mr Shulte will probably not return to College next term, on account of some trouble that he has been having with Ms ears. Dr. Jordan announces thst the essays for the Baldwin prize of twenty-five dollars will be due toward the latter part of next term. These essays are unlimited. Durine the holidays Dr. J. A- Kingsley,

Professor Woodford's lecture on last Friday afternoon upon the "President's Message," was well attended by the students. A number of visitors were also present. The class in Evolution finished their term's work with a final examination on last Monday. The class are all sorry that their work in evolution it over, as each one has found it a most interesting and profitable study. Dr. Dabney's classes all have their final examinations to-day, although the term dees not close until to-morrow. Dr. Dabney is compelled to da so in order to reach his home in Virginia by Christmas day. Dr. Jordan has required all students to hnud in a litt of their studies for next term, in order that each Professor might know bow many be would have in his classes, &c, &c, and that any conflicts might be avoided if possible.

Dr. Von Jagemann entertained his Junior and Senior German classes at bis residence on North College Avenue, Tuesday evening, the 2Ulh. Those only who were present can understand what a privilege it was to be a German student, for that evening at leant. The "marking'' system has been abolished at Columbia College. aoh Professor is to statedly report the names pf the three members of the class wbo have shown the most diligence and proficiency, and the best all around students are to be known as "honor men." Professor Clark baa boen asked by a number of tbe Shakespeare class to continue this study next terra. The recitation hours being all filled be has found it impossible to do so, but to partially compensate the lods of this most interesting study,
the Shakespeare club will continue its meetings throughout next term. The lectu re of Col. Nelson, delivered on Frid ay evening, was to have been given on Thursday evening, but a railroad accident delayed the train, so that be could not get here. His audience on Thursday evening whon he was expected to lecturo but did not, was as targe as that of Friday evening. The lecture on last Sunday by Prof. Tbos. Newland upon the subject: "Louis Agassis," was one of the best which has been given in the Sunday afternoon course. The musio on this occasion shows what our ohoir can de when it desires to r;ive some Idea of its ability. Miss Gill of Kf ntuokv sans a solo ia a
manner which held tbe rapt attention of
tbe audience. The lecture of CoJ. Nelson of Terra Haute, delivered at the college phapel on last Friday evening, upon tbe subject, "Mexico," had an attentive audience and one which fully appreciated what he bad to say. As a matter outside of his regular lecture on Mexico, he gave a good idea of the patriotism of Chilli and her sympathy for America during the war. Mr. ffilson is a fluent talker and delivered better lan tare than soma of the alleged great lecturers whose names are found ia the college lecture course, ' The Special on last Saturday evening was one of the best that we hava had. We consider the speech At Mr. F. 6. Monioal as the best of the evening, although the others were very good. The audience was large, as always has been the case, and the way in which both, town people and students attend these Specials shows that Professor Woodburn haa hit upon
just tbe thing that has been lacking
here for years. Tiiese specials win uo continued next term on practically the same plan as that of the present, the next being given in January. The Shakespeare club held its meeting on last Wednesday evening, instead of Thursday, as is customary, in order that its members might have an opportunity to hear Col. Nelson's lecture. Midsummer Kigbt's Dream was finished and the rest of the evening pleasantly 4voted te Howell's latest: "Five O'clock Tea." Professor CJark is a splendid reader, n matter what tbe character of the literature he has in hand may be, and his rendering of the "Five O'clock Tea" was fully appreciated by the privileged members of the plub.

BY TUB WIT, have you noticed the President's Message ? It is said to be without a precedent in the history of messages, the people are reading it and the country is talking about it. Cleveland departed from tbe old forms, and instead of writing thirty
columns on every conceivable sub
ject from Light Houses to the Tar
iff, he devoted himself entirely to
the Surplus and what we must do
about it. Mr. tslaine immediately attacks the message in an "inter? view" from Paris, and makes up an issue for the coming fight. Cleveland says the Tariff ought to be lowered, to decrease the surplus and the tax maintained on whisky
and tobacco. Blaine says the tax should be taken off , tobacco as "a necessary of life," and the rest of the surplus should be spent in
coast tortihcations, maintaining the tariff at all hazards. It is likely this is the issue the parties will' fight on in 1888. Art you ready boys? And have you noticed the new "fad" among Chicago women "3 They have Ntw-Parti9K of young ladies, who meet twics a week, aiu the leader, a lady of culture, dis
cusses with them the news of the j - .-'' J'1'' day. They have considered the; Joe Meyer has advanced, b "Anarchists." the "illness of the : !mces tfc.0 charged by other
Crown Prince," the "offietsl scan- ambers, realizing that he is as good dais in Paris," and the meeting of .a workman as any of them.
tne "risneries Jommi9iou in;1 Washington." j It might be profitable for this j
"fad" to grow, tor the ignorance ot
some women on current anairs is startling and painful. Was it a Bloomington woman who thought
"Frelingjhuysen" was the name of
a machine? But if women should begin to take interest in these hor-
aible affairs of tbe men they might
want to vote, and that would never
do. Woman must keep her f sphere"
with h r, fancy work, trills and furbelows or among the pots and pans. What difference it she doesn't know who the Vice President is ?
