The question of forming" a dra
matic club in the University is
one that has been much talked of
for several years but unfortunately
it has always heretofore nded in
talk.
This year, we are happy to say,
the much talked of and hoped for
club has become a reality and will
make its first appearance before the
public in Gerrard Hall on Friday
evening' February the 21st.
For nearly two months the mem
bers of the club have been practic
ing- regularly, and the stagpe fixtures
costumes and other paraphernalia
have already been purchased, and
every effort is being- made to make
the first appearance a great success.
If it is not it will certainly be
the misfortune, not the fault of the
club.
, As tne enterprise is an innova
tion here and very few of the mem
bers had had much experience along
this line, it was wisely decided that
the first play shouldnot be a very dif
ficult one involving- too many char
acters. 4 The name of the play se
lected has not yet been' announced to
the public but we will be able to
give our readers some more defi
nite information in regard to it next
week. ; -
It is the present purpose of the
club to gradually enlarge its mem
bership and later on, probably at
Commencement, to give a more elab
orate performance. J
We hope that every, student in
the University will turn out on the
nig-ht of the 21st. and ( encourage
our new enterprise. We believe
that every one who goes will be
well repaid;, and those who have
worked so faithfully in such a good
cause certainly need all the support
and encouragement we can give
them.
of things does not suit you get out
of it.
True the performances are not in
exact opposition to the laws of the
University but they are a breach of
propriety and good sense. The aim
seems to be to annoy the. Faculty
but in doing- this the interests of
the student body are at stake.
In a measure all of our enterprises
such as entertainments, ball games
and college publications, are depen
dent on the patronage of the Fac
ulty and villagers. Thus it appears
that the result of these raids is a
permanent loss to the student body.
It would be well for the leaders
to consider the result of their actions
before proceeding further.
Equal to the progress of the Uni
versity in other directions is the im
provement in the character of our
musical organizations, and we note
with much pleasure that the room
for improvement seen in our clubs
of last year has been taken advan
tage of and that the clubs this year
are of a very superior order.
Each of the clubs is a decided im
provement on the one of last year,
aud the banjo club,' while it was
perhaps the most attractive feature
last year, bids fair to be still better
this year. The first appearance of
the clubs in public for this year will
be on the occasion of their annual
midwinter concert in Gerrard. Hall
on the night of Feb. 14.
An entirely new programme will be
given and a fare musical treat is in
store for those who are so fortunate
as to be present. (
The Red and Black comes to us
this week in a greatly reduced form
and is to be run hereafter under a
different management and by a new
set of editors. Formerly it was a
private enterprise on the part of the
editors but now the. athletic associa
tion has adopted it, and will assume
its debts or reap the benefits of the
surplus proceeds.
A constitution has been adopted
for thefuture ' government of the
paper which provides among other
things that each editor shall be re
sponsible to the faculty for what
appears in his department. ;
The editors are to be nominated
by the Advisory Committe and elect
ed by the Athletic Association."
A man after entering the Univer
sity must regard the laws which
regulate its welfare. As every
organism it has a distinct life, peculiar-to
it-self and this life is regu
latedit is a unity. When any one
makes application for admittance to
the advantages of the University it
is taken for granted that he is wil
ling to abide by the laws which gov
ern its life and welfare.
The obligation is voluntary no
one is'forced to enter the University.
Then it is clear that the only way
to get clear of these responsibilities
by getting out of the University.
The latter would - be the ' wisest
for those who have taken so much
precaution to give unnecessary
trouble to the Faculty and citizens ,
of the village, to pursue. If the order!
Base ball prospects at the Uni
versity of Penn. have been seriously
blighted by a recent .action of the
faculty which makes all men who
haveplayed on"snmmer nines" in
eligible to membership on a Penrn,
team; . . , " ;
The action is in the interest of
pure athletics and intended to clear
Penn. from charges of professional
ism that have been made against
some of the members of her teams.
The effect of this on the present
team will be to disqualify the entire
team with the two exceptions of Cap
tain Blakely who was declared' eli
gible and Grey whose case has not
yet been considered,
We learn that they have abandoned
their proposed Southern trip on ac
count of this action by the faculty..

The recent "bestirral" has arous

A Wonderful Invention
Zoology teaches that the hairs of the head
are hollow, and contain an oil that gives
them life. In clipping the hair with scis
sors, this hollow is left open, and the hair
loses its life-giving properties. .
I have a Machine named the Singeing ma
chine, which removes the hair and at the
same time closes up the hollow, causing' the
hair to retain its life-giving properties, and
therefore stopping the hair from falling out
or dying, and giving it a soft growth.
Call and examine this-machine and have
your hair singed.
Special attention given to dressing la
dies' hair. Cutting done with exquisite and
srtistis skill by the old UniversUy Barber
of twenty years' experience.
The singing machine is highly recom
mended by scientists throughout the country.
