CAROLINE LOUISE WENZ. Mi»» Wenz occupies the Chair of English Language and Literature in the University of Paris- Under her supervision we take a personally conducted tour from the Epic to the Short Story, stopping at Julius Caesar. The House of Seven Gables; and visiting the Merchant of Venice, and Macbeth and hi naughty wife. Also as she i intimately aciiuainted with all the past masters. We arc introduced to Mr. Milton. Mrs. Mary Ann Evans, and (till Shakespeare. We wish to recommend this trip to all those interested in literature, and wish our capable and kind'y guide the best of success in her future tours. ETHEL E. HOWELL. For a long time the Latin students have trembled at tlic sight of. and admired from afar, our Latin teacher. Miss Howell. We feel sure that if the old l.atin worthies were suddenly resurrected, she would correct their grammar with the same impas- sioned manner that she pick to pieces our fluent (?) translation». A touching ability—why she chiseled Caesar. Cicero and Vergil into the heads of the departing Seniors, a task difficult enough to baffic the most competent educator. We hope she will linger long in our midst and instruct the youth in the mysteries of lingua Ciceroni . O. R. JONES Xs 2 X y y2” V t2 A [ “]” We feel «ure th.v. if the brain of Prof. O. R. Jones, our Math, instructor and faculty manager, were dissected, his grey matter would be mathematically arranged, and geometrically «haped. with the proof for the entire affair neatly inscribed on his pia mater. And, Shades of Demosthenes! what a vocabulary! His conversation re- semble a heavy freight train—long and well loaded. He i the only man. whore Johnsonian accents can persuade Harris to unlock a door, or turn on the hot water. He i an authority on all matters of athletics and training, and his efficient manage- ment of the basketball team, helped them in large measure to make stirh a glorious recoid in 'll. Pretty, blue eyed maiden.”—Cora Jacobs.

CORA JACOBS. After a meteoric career in Illinois where she scooped both her B, A., ami M. A. in four years. Miss Jacobs condescended to make her home in our midst, and instruct the youth of our village in Biology. In the laboratory she torn plants and anitnais inside out, and labels their interior organs with the most technical terms. Indeed if the opportunity favored she would methodically dissect a pupil, and explain to the class, what mac!e the wheels go round. However she is very popular, especially with the fairer sex of the Sophomore Class. ANNA LITTLEFIELD. Miss Littlefield's education was secured at Chrismati. California ami Columbia. With such a cosmopolitan preparation she has settled here, and earns Iter daily bread by packing the undergraduates' skulls with English and Geometry. Miss Littlefield is a strict disciplinarian, ami it is reported she can see around corners, when mi chicf is afoot. M. C. LATHERS Hail to King Lathers! May his suds never grow less! Looking up from his scat behind the Goddess of Liberty in the Library I beheld a jubilant Freshman standing in the door. It was the first period in the morning ■ nd the Fresh who had just entered the Library had overlooked the youthful Prof, who had his back toward the door. His enthusiasm immediately subsided and he slunk towards a chair. In vain- -he was collared”—well, you know Mr. lather's reputation for a disciplinarian. Nttff sed. Mr. Lathers, in tilling the vacancy left by the late Mr. Kellogg, has been elected to shake the skeleton before the Physiology class. Also does he instruct the first year students in Math, to the satisfaction of all concerned. And last but not least is he guardian of the upper hall and has won fame similar to that of Horatio at the Bridge by his manful attempt to stop the students at the head of the stairway during the celebration of school victory. A Paris youth (Pinckney) refereed the frame.”—Extract from Terre Haute Tribune.
