CHAPEL attendance at the Chicago University is compulsory.
BAKER has an enrollment of 375 students.
THE tuition at the Chicago University is 25 dollars per term.
The Cornell Athletic association is several hundred dollars in debt.
THE Iowa foot ball team, if they win the pennant expect to play the Californians.
THE class of '94 at the University of Iowa has decided to publish an annual this year.
HARVARD MEMORIAL HALL furnishes board for 900 hundred students at 400 dollars per week.
EVERY one should turn out and witness to-morrow's game of foot ball. Both teams have the honor of never being defeated.
Yes, the Courier is glad to welcome the Student's Journal and had intended to on its editorial page but by mistake, the printer placed the notice in the local column.
THE Seminary Notes for October, have been issued and contains very valuable and instructive articles which every student may well afford to expend some thought apon.
THE S. U. I. Quill, printed at Iowa City, is the best edited college journal on our exchange list. The editorials are ably written, the reading matter first class and well selected. Success to the Quill.
K. S. U. WILL play Washburn next Saturday. From all reports the Washburn team is as strong, if not stronger then last year; but it is doubtful by long odds, whether it will be able to cope with the crimson.
PROF. SHEPARD has been elected manager of the foot ball team. The professor will no doubt manage the affairs of the team as well as his predecessor. He has had considerable experience in that line of work, having played upon the Cornell eleven. The COURIER wishes the professor success.
THE COURIER shall in the future, at least during the foot ball season be published during the middle of the week instead of Friday. This will give our readers an opportunity of reading an account of the games as well other happenings about the University before the news becomes "stale." The Courier hopes ere long to come out bi-weekly
THIS, from the State University of Iowa, "The foot-ball management believes that the second eleven can beat Cornell worse than the first eleven did last year, and want to hear from their manager and get an early game. So far Cornell has not been willing to play our 'Varsity team, but would probably play the second eleven.
Columbian Dedication Sale and Opening
Who could sit and listen to Mr. L. W. Gleed's lecture in chapel ast Friday and not be impressed with the importance of one's college lays. What one is at college we may presume that he will be in the world of action. Our college days are the days when we form, mould and blend character. It is the time when we create habit and habit once formed is seldom obliterated. As Professor James, of Harvard says: "It alone is what keeps us all with in the bound of ordinance, and saves the children of fortune from the envious uprisings of the poor * * * * It keeps the fisherman and the deck-hand at sea through the winter, it holds the minor in his darkness, and nails the countryman to his leg-cabin and his lonely farm through all the months of snow. It protects us from invasion by the natives of the desert and the frozen zone. It dooms us all to fight out the battle of life upon the lines of our nurture or our early choice, and to make the best of a pursuit that disagrees, because there is no other for which we are fitted and it is too late to begin again. Already at the age of twenty-five you see the professional mannerisms setting on the down young commercial traveller, on the young doctor, on the young minister, or the young counselor at law. You see the little lines of cleavage running through the character, the tricks of thought, the prejudices, the ways of the 'shop,' in a word from which the man by and by can no more escape then his coat sleeve can fall into a new set of folds. On the whole it is well he should not escape. It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again."
HABIT.
PERHAPS there is no phase of university life more misrepresented in the state of Kansas than the spirital one at K. S. U. If there is anything the State University prizes highly and dearly, it is liberty of thought. True to this ideal she has steadily advanced, developed and taken rank with the best institutions of the land. Yet for this same freedom of thought, so characteristic of any progressive institution of learning many have taken exceptions to and misconstrued.
They say we are irreligious, that the spirit of infidelity hovers over and around us. What could be more erroneously said of our professors and students! No body of men can be found in the institution of this or any state where the religious phase of life is more and better cultivated than in the faculty at K. S. U.
True, chapel attendance is not compulsory, and the students in this respect are at liberty to do as they chose. But does it necessarily follow that they do not attend* and on that account the flame of religious feeling gradually dies
out? Nonsense! It only burns the brighter. A privilege implies a duty and duty is paramount and especially the duty of cultivating the religious side of one's nature; nor is there any class of students elsewhere than at K. S. U. who feel this more keenly. No my dear critic, we are not irreligious here. Chapel attendance to be sure is optional but the day it was made so imposed upon the student body a higher obligation—a duty, a duty which one owes to himself, his God and his country. Where chapel attendance is optional, it stands for something quite different than where it is compulsory. To be compelled to attend chapel against one's will is a farce and the victim is none the better for it. If any one feels that he should attend chapel it presents a claim upon him and becomes a bounded duty which he should not and seldom does ignore; if not, he has the privilege to turn away and is not the worse for it.
THE CURIER fully believing that he senior class is able to look after its own affairs in regard to the Annual and has thus far kept from commenting in a dictatorial or threatening manner. This policy shall be adhered to. However, the question of "the one-fifth," and their pictures has been commented on so much by our contemporay that a word in regard to it might not be out of place. Why should it be detrimental, financially for the editors of the Annual to permit the so-called "one-fifth" to have their pictures rather then a design in this phamplet? Every Annual which makes any pretence at being representative contains a design this, which is emblematic of these societies, of this respective class. The present Senior class has the reputation of being original in its ideas. Its members have thus far made no great mistake when deciding upon questions of any importance. If they decide to depart from the old rut and allow the sostyled "one-fifth" to be represented in the Annual by their picture instead of the thread worn emblematic fraternal design, the CURIER sees no good reasons why such a course would prove detrimental, financially, and certainly not in any other way.
The article on the Fusion club received last week, but too late for publication or comment, is too immaterial and irrelevant to the question, to admit of publication. The Courier is always willing to publish, and solicits articles on current questions but it prefers to stav out of the maelstrum of public politics, which subject, to say the least is not a proper one for college journals.
THE Normal Courier is an exchange just added to our list. The Courier is printed at Peru, Nebraska and has just begun its earthly struggle. If the future numbers of the Courier are as ably edited as is the first, then, VIVE A LA Courier, says its name sake at K. S. U.

CHAPEL RHETORICALS
The Review which championed chapel rhetoricals in its last issue now comes out with an editorial upon the subject stating that under the present regime "It is a roaring farce in red tape and means nothing whatsover." Perhaps this is quite a strong statement and yet the way the rhetoricals are being conducted, no one will admit that much benefit is being gained by the student. To be compelled to deliver a hasty and quite often, ill-prepared oration is not only a bore to the one who delivers it but an imposition on those who attend chapel. No one cares to sit in the presence of a trembling wretch who is trying to stammer through a speech written you might say on the spur of the moment and delivered before being committed thoroughly. The Courier heartily endorses the Review and believes as it, that if chapel rhetoricals are to be made a success, previous drill and training under a competent instructor must be had.
The young man of public spirit at college, the one who mingles with the students, takes part in every movement will prove to be in after years the man of worth to any community wherever he may reside. He who takes part in college publications and organizations, fraternities and societies will most likely be the leader in politics when his life struggle with the world will have begun.
If a whole souled and public spirit has not been attained when at college, the chances are that it never will be. University life is fraught with many valuable experiences outside the covers of a book and if one receives nothing more when at school then a book learning, it would have been just as well had he studied at home. It is the balanced man who succeeds. Success in life does not depend on a host of facts stored up in memory's vault but upon the ability to apply them, and this ability is attained only by mingling in the college world of action. This is why so many make a failure of their college education. They lock themselves up within the four walls of their room, seldom taking part in the world of activity and reality about them, and when the time comes to cope with the world they find themselves at sea.
The Students' Journal, in its second issue, says, that the paper was organized to represent four-fifths of the University students that heretofore have been without a paper to represent them. We hope that the Journal, under its present management and patronage will represent its university and students as well as the Courier.—Baker Beacon.
THE class of '96 at S. U. I. has challenged the class af '95 to participate in a cane rush.
Every student in the University should buy a lecture course ticket.
