As promised in our last issue,
we give to-day to our readers an
exceedingly strong article (com
municatedVon ' 'Athletics at the
University. ' ' We commenced
this article to the careful readers
and thinkers and to those numer
ous people who do not thoroughly
inform themselves upon such
matters here, but who seem to
derive no little pleasure ' in pub
lishing spiteful little editorials
about 'tramp" foot-ball teams.
Since we are a State institution
we feel it our duty to thus make
known the true state of affairs not
for the sake of those who willful
ly deceive themselves, but for
some who have let themselves be
unintentionally so misled.
Further development of the
University Spirit' ' nearly every
day in the, various departments.
This is noticed in the formation
of the ' 'Journal Club' ' , which is
composed of the advanced stu
dents in the department of Chem
istry. This club has for its pres
ident Dr.,Venable, and its secre
tary Mr. H. E. Rondthaler, '93.
1 1 meets, every Thursday after
noon for a weekly review of the
various journals o f science,
especially those concerned with
chemistry. A discussion led by
the professor, 4s usually entered
into concerning the numerous pa
pers presented, which is not con
fined to to the theoretical value of
the communications alone but as
much to the economic influences
which are brought into consider
ation. These meetings are in
consequence of no little interest
to the members and are always
looked forward to with pleasure,
as much valuable information is
obtained there which one would
scarce know where else to find.
The following, journals are re
ceived and assigned to various
members of the club to report on:
Journal Analytical and .Applied
Chemistry, American Chemical
Journal, Chemical News, Engi
neering and Mining Journal, Sci
ence, Journal of the London
Chemical Society, Proceedings of
Royal and Edinburgh Societies,
Smithsonian Review, Berichte
der Deutschen Chemischen Ges
ellschaft, Central-Blatt, Fresenius
Zeitschrift, and Zeitschrift fur
Auorgauische Chemie.
Whenever we take clippings
from other papers, we always en
deavor to see that credit is given
to the proper people. We have
noticed lately numerous clippings
taken from our humble efforts but
never a note of the source. We
are indeed gratified to have our
highly prized ; exchanges take ? a
few notes of the events ..occurring
at our State University as chron
icled by ourselves, but in our in
fancy we would probably like to
see credit given our matter when
ever re-produced. Such we think
is the usual courtesy.
