Some of the old students have taken it upon themselves to find the fellow who is burning the grass.—The j Texan. You are well as the multiplication tables, must be taken at some time by candidates for a degree. Of course, onty one of these branches can be taken at a time. For the benefit of the new students I will say that you are expected to take at least three of the regular branches of our school work, and one of these three studies I have just enumera ted. For instance, you may take in your fall course of study basket ball, elemental football, dumb bells, and writing. In the second semester you may take baseball, dancing, pulley weights, and read ing. In your second year you may take up advanced football, quanti tative Indian clubs, laboratory punching bag, and the first five multiplication tables. In the third year you may elect theories of slugging, Knglish cricket, sopho more football, and fourth grade reading. In the last year the sen iors will take up applied football, integral baseball, plane analytical boxing, and the writing of prize fighting challenges. “We have with us this morning two of our alumni of the class of ’umpty steen who will give a three round sparring contest with two ounce gloves, so that you may see what a grand thing education is and how necessary it is that you apply^yOMt^ei^s, to your studies while the golden opporfu'nity VS iiy your grasp. After the alumni members have finished their spar ring contest you will give the col lege yell three times and retire to your classes. Remember always the motto of the college, ‘Soakem Semper in Solarious Plexum.’ ” right, ]yir. Kditor, we have had the same thing to occur on our college grounds, and as a result nearly a whole row of hedge, which has taken about two years of care and cultivation to grow, has been killed. Some boys do not seem to realize that when they destroy any property of a State in stitution that they are injuring themselves more than anyone else. Besides injuring them financially, it hurts the institution. A SYSTEM OF OFFENSES WITH THEIR DEMERITS.

The is one main difference be tween an upper class man and a Freshman; the Freshman is usually a fool, in that he lacks the appre ciation of the circumstances that surround him. For this reason some fellows are Freshmen forever. The man who burned the grass night after night did a very foolish thing; he did not have sense enough to know that he was doing himself and his university an in jury. He thought he was having a time, and maybe that he was setting a precedent, and that he was showing get-up and bravery, and whether he happened to think these things or not, he was a fool when he dropped a burning match into the grass. The campus needs all the care we are able to bestow upon it. The soil upon the hill is thin and poor, and every tree is of great value. At present the grass is the main attraction on the cam pus, and to burn it at this time of year is partly to destroy the at tractiveness of the campus.
