UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA subjects for debate has been more judicious. In former times questions of great weight were decided in a single evening. The debaters often showed they had not given due consideration to the subject under discussion. Now, instead of mighty political questions, we have debates on matters of immediate interest to the students. We are pleased to chronicle that since the publication of the last BLUE AND GOLD a chapter of a young ladies ' fraternity, the Kappa Kappa Gamma, has been established and is now in a prosperous condition. A chapter of the Theta Nu Epsilon, a Sophomore society for the purpose of promoting the welfare of the Freshmen, has been founded. Many dark and mysterous deeds which have taken place about Berkeley have been laid at the door of this fraternity. With just pride we can turn to the achievements of our athletes. The last Field-Day which took place was eminently successful. The best high- jump record on this coast was made by one of our students. Also the best hop-step-jump was accomplished. Much interest has been shown in base- ball, and the games between the classes have been closely contested. The championship of the University is not yet decided, but in all probability rests between ' 82 and ' 83. The two literary and social events of the year, Junior-Ex, and Charter- Day, were conducted so as to meet with marked success. And now we will close. Financially the BLUE AND GOLD is a success ; whether the book itself will meet with approbation remains to be seen. But, when the merciless critic, with a sour smile, takes up his pen, dripping with cutting words, and commences his work of havoc on the results of our toil, we will wrap ourselves up in the one virtue which we can safely say we possess, and this virtue is that we have conscientiously done our work.
