We note with pleasure the selection by the Regents of the Hon.
Orlando C. Howe, of Newton, as Judge Mott's successor in the Law
Faculty. The new Professor comes to us with many years'
experience as a successful Iowa lawyer and occupant of the Bench.
Already he has found warm friends and admirers in the members of
the department, and we can safely predict for him a long and
pleasant career of usefulness in the University.
The University loses a valuable instructor in the person of Dr.
Hazen, who has resigned his position as Lecturer on Ophthalmology
and Otology in the Medical Department. The doctor's extensive
practice in Davenport necessitated this much regretted change.
The Regents have not, as yet, filled the vacancy thus occasioned.
The students are taking great interest in the study of elocution,
as Prof. Pinkham's large and 'loud' classes will attest.
Major Schench, of the chair of Military Tactics, is a student in
the Law Department, and will graduate next commencement.
The many friends of the Rev. Mr. Ingalls will be pleased to learn
of his re-appointment as pastor of the M.E. Church, in this city.

making it a decided success. Sessions every Thursday night.
Officers for this term are: President, J.E Morris; Vice
President, Palmer Trimble; Secretary, W.P. Hellings; Treasurer,
J.H. Mullin and Marshall, J.W. Lamb.
Te Law students have formed a class organization, officered as
follows: President, Geo. F. McClellan; Vice President, E.C.
Sanders; Secretary, H.S. Fairall and Treasurer, Dr. James.
Drop into the hall of the State Historical Society some Wednesday
afternoon or Saturday morning, and Col. Trowbridge, the
accomodating and well posted Librarian, will make it interesting
for you.
Frank Call, of Algona, recently appointed cadet to West Point,
from the ninth Iowa congressional district, will be a student in
the University until he leaves for his new sphere of action next
spring.
The gas works have been out of order most of the past month, and

society halls.

Marriages
At the residence of the bride's parents, near Decorah, Iowa, on
September 3d, 1875, by Rev. J.L. Paine, Mr. J.E. Anderson and
Miss Martha A. Johnson. Since graduating in the Academical
Department, some three years ago, J.E. has been engaged in the
"lightning calculating" business, and so well has he
succeeded in his calculations, that he now possesses a charming
wife, is comfortably situated in this city, and next June will be
a full fledged lawyer.
At Springdale, Iowa, at the residence of the bride's brother, Mr.
John Chambers, on the evening of October 5th, 1875, by the Rev.
W.B. Craig, Mr. N.W. Macy and Miss Eunice Chambers. The Reporter
hastens to extend to these graduates of the University, its
tenderest egards, and will only echo the sentiment of their hosts
of friends when it says "God bless you in your new
relations."
On Wednesday evening, July 28th, 1875, by the Rev. P.P. Ingalls,
at the residence of the bride's parents, in Iowa City, Mr. Thomas
Mattison, of Wilton Junction and Miss Ursula M. Rogers, of Iowa
City. Both were successful students of the University, and
graduates of '73. May happiness and unbounded prosperity attend
them throughout life, is our wish.
