A humorous-editor man,

A slugging-ink-slinging young man,

A super-athletical

Also poetical

Rolling-his-eyes young man.

A football-team young man,

Ten-goals to-nothing young man,

A terribly-kicked

And always-get-licked

Play-a-draw-game young man.

THE Echo is evidently the child of the College, because it has not yet learned to spell.

"GIVE me the hand that will never deceive me!" sings a poet. Four aces are his want long felt. - Ex.

THE erection of the Law School building is delayed because no decision upon plans has yet been reached.

ASSOCIATE members of the Glee Club are requested to pay their dues to Mr. Hamlin, 7 Grays, as soon as possible.

SO far as careful printing and general good style are concerned, the Yale News is a pleasant contrast to the Echo.

NOTHING will be done toward the building of the physical laboratory until the supplementary fund has been completed.

"SUIPEE," said Dingus recently, "Why is the Columbia College Press like a performance at Tony Pastor's?" "Because a bird in hand is worth two in a bush," replied Suipee. "Wrong," said Dingus, "it's because it is composed of Actors and Spectators." Suipee swept the floor, Dingus was the broom. - Acta Columbiana.

THE following are the second eight of the Pi Eta from '83: M. H. Clarke, J. E. Davis, E. S. Jack, W. T. Lord, C. Ranlet, F. Ranney, B. W. Wellington, J. H. Wigmore.

THE threatened water famine at Princeton has been averted. Some may be mean enough to say that were Harvard menaced by any such calamity, the students would regard it as a cause for rejoicing.

THE Index will be out very shortly, and it should receive such encouragement from Harvard men that the faithful work of the compiler may be rewarded, and that he may be induced to further efforts from the deserved success of this.

THE Boston Sunday Herald, November 20, speaks of the ill-feeling displayed in our game with Princeton. We wish to say that though the play was rough, there was no action on the part of either Team to warrant this statement. We trust that the cordial relations will continue.

THE last Yale Record, in speaking of the Harvard-Yale game says: "It is but fair to say, however, that Yale obtained a touch-down which was disallowed as much to the surprise of the visitors as of our own Team." This statement, so far as Yale's Team is concerned, is doubtless true, but we do not understand where the Record obtained its information about the visitors, who, if we remember rightly, seemed to think the decision of the referee a just one.

AN old New York paper tells the following curious story: -

Ever so long ago Richard Vaux was a marvellously handsome and fascinating young man. He went to Europe, and being possessed of large means had access to the best society, and even attracted the notice of the young Queen of England, who had but then just come to the throne. It is said - the story being told to me by persons high in authority in England - that her heart's first affections were given to Richard Vaux of Quaker City, and she would have married him if she had been allowed, but state reasons prevailed to deter her. The Queen of England could not marry a subject, even of royal blood, and therefore she was forced to forget her fancy for the American, - or not quite forget it: in memory of it, my informant says, she has permitted her children to marry according to their hearts' choice rather than for ambition's sake. Vaux lingered in England until her marriage with Prince Albert put an end to his wildest hopes, and then returned to his native land. Among his many gifts was a splendid voice; and the old ballad of "I'll Hang My Harp on a Willow Tree" was composed by him, she being the heroine of the plaint.

WE have good cause to feel proud of our Football Team. Our games last year with the Torontos showed good stuff; but the Team this year is stronger than then. - The University, Ann Arbor.

CONVERSATION between Sophomores immediately after summer vacation: -

"To see ye." "Pleasant summer." "Where been?" "Same room as 'st year." "Comeseeme." "Fif H'lworthy."

LITTLE GIRL (who has just been sailing). - Mamma, we nailed across the lake.

MAMMA. - You don't mean nailed, but "tacked."

LITTLE GIRL (with air of triumph). - Well, nails and tacks are all the same.

THE suggestion that heliotypes be substituted for the usual class photographs is at least worth considering. How far practicable it is to abandon photographs we do not know. It would certainly be a less bulky and less expensive method of obtaining views of buildings and the various groups. We commend the plan to the attention of the Senior class.
