The University Courier.
The Courier will give the ages of the senior class sometime during this half term.
Archie Hogg has taken charge of the Literary and Exchange columns for a few weeks. Any favors shown him will be appreciated by the management.
The Kappas will give their annual June party at J. D. Bowersock's, the 2nd of June. This will be the leading society event of the season and it is safe to say that those who are fortunate enough to be there will long remember the ocassion.
The May issue of the Western Druggist will contain an illustrated article on the School of Pharmacy of the University of Kansas. The illustrations will give the chemical building, Snow Hall, and perhaps the main building and members of the faculty. The article is to be contributed by the editor of that journal who is at the entire expense of getting up the plates.
The Athletic Association at its Tuesday's meeting decided to appropriate the net proceeds of Twelfth Night to a permanent gymnasium fund. It also seemed to be the sense of the Board that fifty per cent of the net proceeds of each year's work should go to this fund. This is an important and much needed step and it is hoped that while the building boom is on Oread's heights the gymnasium may be erected.
Mr. Leland T. Powers, the seventh attraction in the lecture course, gave a most delightfully entertaining impersonation of David Garrick, at the opera house, Monday evening, before a crowded house. Mr. Powers is an actor, and as an entertainer has few equals. If the lecture bureau would secure such attractions instead of those that have been thrust upon the public under the guise of lectures, there would be no dissatisfaction.
Last Saturday evening the gentlemen of Sigma Nu fraternity entertained their friends in their hall. At 8.30 the sweet strains of Saunders music invited the guests to the merry dance which all enjoyed until time told of the parting of the old and the coming of a new day when all reluctantly left the hall.
The Lecture Bureau wishes to announce that Musin will be here May 5th, the Courier permitting.
The Senior Pharmics had a quiz in physiological chemistry and microscopy on Tuesday. There has been more artistic work done in mounting microscopic slides than ever before.
Prof. Sayer has received from many sources in Kansas, Texas and Colorado, a specimen of a root which invariably turns out to be derived from the same plant, Echinacia Augustifolia. The professor is asked in every case the following question: "What is the medicinal value of this root? Around here the people are gathering it and sending it to a certain manufacturer of medicine. What is its value? We are offered from 20 to 25 cents per pound for all we can gather."
One of the most practical and interesting lectures yet delivered before the members of the law school was that given by Mr. Bruno Hobbs, of Kansas City, Kas., Tuesday evening, on the subject of Corporations. After sketching the history of corporations, Mr. Hobbs proceeded to the formation of a corporation among the members of the school and gave a practical illustration of this important branch of a lawyer's duties, that served to impress itself upon the minds of all the followers of Blackstone. Mr. Hobbs is a graduate of our law school and is rapidly pushing to the front in his profession.
Every student in the University should cast his vote in the city election for the mayor and councilman who will see that there is at least one sidewalk to the University which would be within gazing distance of respectability. The students of the University ought to vote as a unit; their interests are identical and the solid vote of the students can decide this election, but divided by political lines they cannot change the result. Let the students demand their rights as a unit and vote in the same manner, and such willing tools of the ward heeler as J. Ira Brown will be relegated to the dusty shades of oblivion and the pleasant retreats of private life.
