The following named universities publish daily

ford, Princeton, and the Universities of Michi
gan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Lehigh's eleven is the strongest that has ever
played under the brown and white colors.—Ex.
But nevertheless State College is the Rubicon
they dare not cross
Instead of the usual rush between the Sophs
and Freshmen at Cornell, their physical su
premacy will be decided by a series of athletic
contests arranged by the Students' Committee on
Discipline. That is an excellent plan. It has been
used here and all rushes except that over the Fresh
men flag have been abolished. It has work to
the satisfaction of a concerned.
The'subjects presented to the Agora by the

and
Resolved, The owing to the corruption pre
vailing in preseUt political methods . the Initiative
and Referendum modeled after the Swiss plan are
necessary to a pure expression of the people's will.

EXCHANGES.
The owl took his hat and gloves onenight,
His sweetheart for to see,
When his daddy asked him where ho went
"On a definite object Pm intent,
To wit, to woo." said he;
"To wit, to wit, to woo I"
But he scarce had stepped outside the door
When he could not fall to see
That the sky with clouds was all o'ercast,
"To wet, to woo," said he ;
"To wet, to wet, to woo."
If Mary's snowy little lamb
. Back to the earth would hie,
The jokes he'd see about himself
Would make him glad to die.
THE FREE LANCE.
Out of 128 students who took the examination
for entrance into Indiana University this year,
only twenty-two passed. It will be necessary for
the preparatory schools of Indiana to increase fa
cilities in order to meet the entrance require
ments of the State University.—Ex. They must
be harder to please than we are here.

"Shall I brain him ?" cried the hazer,
And the victim's courage lied,
"You can't : it is a Freshmen,
Just hit it on the head."
A pretty young amateur housekeeper she,
And she said to the butcher as bold as could be :
"Two canvas back ducks and a quart of green peas,
And you'll take off the canvas, good, sly If you
please." —Ex.
We paused to watch the quiver
Of faint moonbeams on the river,
By the gate.
We had heard something calling
And a heavy dew is falling,
Yet we wait.
It is no doubt very silly
To stay out in all this chilly
Evening mist.
Still I linger hesitating
For her lips are plainly waiting
To be kissed.
So I stooped to take possession
Of the coveted concession
On the spot.
But she draws back with discreetness,
Saying with tormenting sweetness,
"I guess not."
llor whole manner is provoking ;
"Oh, well, I was onlyjoking,"
I reply,
She looks penitently pretty,
As she answers : "What a pity !
So was I." —Harvard Lampoon.
They used to sing some time ago
A rather plaintive song,
"Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long."
But nowadays the song is set
With music to the rhyme ;
"Man wants as much as he can got
And wants it all the time.
