A Fall Procession.
[ Boston Courier. ]
I stood amazed! The sight I ween
Was quite the strangest ever seen.
For there were men in spring of youth
Who quite a hundred seemed, in sooth,
Large, lusty youths, who hobbled past
As if each moment were their last.
Some went on cratches, some on canes,
And all with most distressing pains.
And some in slings their elbows wore.
And some had optics tinged with gore;
And all went halting, limping by,
With grevious groan and sorry sigh.
And filled to bursting with a grief
That sought in words to find relief,
I cried aloud, "On tell to me
What was this great catastrophy?
"What awful, grim and ghostly fate
Has sought this town to decimate?
Was it the cyclone, flood, or fire
That left such relias of its ire?"
Then feebly spoke, in tones of rue,
That maimed and mutilated crew;
"Nay, none of these, though so it seem,
We're members of the foot ball team."
THE Thanksgiving vacation will afford the students a much needed rest.
If you visit your home do not forget in telling of our success in foot ball to mention the fact that it is but an exponent of the earnest and determined spirit of the University.
The game at Kansas City will be the most interesting of the season. If we win we will have defeated every rival team. Then Minnesota will contest with us for the championship of the west.
THE Glee and Banjo club promises to rival the foot ball team in winning laurels for themselves and increasing the popularity of the University. The club is to be commended in its efforts to attain a high standard of excellence. The tour this year, which is an extended one, already promises to be successful.
In looking over our exchanges we notice long and labored articles on "What we would like to see," "What we need," and kindred subjects. We do not intend to assume a self satisfied air but we do think that K. U. can boast of a college spirit which is aggressive, and we are proud to point to "What we see" and "What we have."
In noting the growing power and popularity of our alma mater we are apt to think that it is due to the efforts of the student body. We have gloried in the power of our eleven and prided ourselves in the advances we have made and given too much credit to ourselves. Let us give credit to whom credit is due, and remember that we are indebted for our success to a competent and enthusiastic corps of instructors and a Chancellor who is untiring in his devotion to the institution.

The Annual.
The Annual board has begun getting together copy for the "Annual," and expects to have it all in by December 1st. The enterprise is now well under way, but owing to a variety of causes it will probably be impossible to publish the book as soon as was expected earlier in the year.
The contract for the half-tone work has been let to the Moss Engraving company, and hence the excellence of this feature of the "Annual" is assured. The board is figuring with a number of firms on the printing, and will probably conclude a contract with one of them in a few days. Beside the half-tones the "Annual" contains a large number of other illustrations of various kinds, the designs for which are now being made by Prof. Hopkins, of the Art school.
At a recent conference of the board with the class editors and the editors of the various schools it was decided that the editors should begin collecting their material at once, and also that each class and each of the schools should be asked to pay for their emblematic cut. It is but fair that they should do this, since the "Annual" is being sold for much less than its cost, and the only way to make up the extra expense is to ask the various interests represented in its pages to contribute a little to make their representation as creditable as possible.
Several hundred circulars have been mailed to the alumni and other old students, and as a result letters are being received from them almost daily containing subscriptions and expressions of the heartiest approval of the "Annual."
After an energetic canvass of the students by the subscription committee elected by the Senior class only about 250 subscriptions have been secured. As there are something over 600 students in the University, and as many of the Seniors have subscribed for more than one copy, it can easily be seen that a large number of the students have as yet failed to express any practical and useful interest in the "Annual." It is to be hoped, and it is doubtless true, that this neglect is not due to indifference or lack of interest in the "Annual," and that when it is published few students will be found who are so utterly without pride in the University as not to take a copy of what promises to be the finest and most artistic description of it ever published.
The language conference met in the Greek room last Wednesday and devoted the hour to the discussion of original productions. A short prose sketch entitled "A Fantasy," a short poem "On Optimism" and a quatrain "To a Blockhead" were read and criticised in a very free and complete manner. The conference contemplates following the same plan at its next regular meeting.

Annual Tour of the Glee and Banio Club.
The Glee and Banjo club of the University is hard at work rehearsing the program for its second annual tour. An hour and a half is devoted to practice each evening and rapid progress is being made.
The club is much stronger than last year, notably so in the case of the Glee Club, which now has three good first tenors and the other parts well filled. A quartette is in active rehearsal, both in the Glee Club and in the Banjo Club. Each club has secured splendid selections for its share of the program and assisted by Prof. Geza Dome will present a concert of rare excellence. The Glee Club numbers twelve men and the Banjo Club ten men besides Profs. Penny and Dome.
Under the business management of Mr. Rush a one cent rate on the railroads has been secured for the club and a tour embracing the following dates has been arranged:
Emporia, Dec. 13; Peabody, Dec.
14; Newton, Dec. 15; Arkansas City,
Dec. 16; Winfield, Dec. 17;
Wellington, Dec. 19; Wichita, Dec.

Jan. 7. Kansas City will be given a date, probably Jan. 20.
The date in Topeka is under the auspices of the State Teacher's Association. In Denver the boys play in the Tabor Grand opera house, the finest in the west. In each city great preparations are being made for the University boys. It is not yet decided whether or not the club will give a concert in Lawrence.
Hon. Charles Emory Smith.
The next attraction in the lecture course is the lecture by Hon. Charles Emory Smith, Dec. 1st.
Mr. Smith, is Ex-Minister to Russia, and is at present the editor of the Philadelphia Press.
His subject "Are we Worse than our Fathers," certainly promises us an entertaining address.
The lecture bureau has done everything in its power to make the course this year an attractive one and the citizens of the town will find the lectures as interesting and instructive to them as to the student. The Courier bespeaks a liberal patronage for the bureau.
Science Club.
The postponed meeting of the Science Club was not held on account of the unavoidable absence of Profs. Newson and Kellogg. The club will meet after the Thanksgiving vacation.
Our Glove department is one of the most comprehensive in the United States.
