The Annual board has nearly completed its canvass for the purpose of securing the moral and financial backing of the members of the faculty for the proposed Annual. With hardly an exception the board has received from those canvassed not only the most hearty encouragement, but also promises of very liberal financial support. It is proposed to complete this canvass in a few days by asking every student in each of the departments of the University to subscribe for at least one copy. It is absolutely necessary that the advance subscription list be a large one, since the publication of a really good Annual is an undertaking of such magnitude that it can only be justified in case the students as well as the members of the faculty are willing to take a practical interest in it from the beginning. The main features of the proposed Annual have already been set forth in the COURIER. Every department, society, club or organization of any kind is to be represented in its pages. To each certain pages will be devoted, and each will be expected to co-operate with the board in securing for those pages such matter as will most appropriately describe and represent it. One of the few distinctively literary features of the Annual will be a prize story, to consist of not less than 1,500 or more than 2,000 words, and to deal with some feature of University life. The prize is to consist of ten dollars worth of books, to be chosen by the winner from certain lists which will soon be made out and which will be made known to any application to the board or any member of it. All stories must be handed in by November 14. Each story must be accompanied by a sealed envelope containing the name of the author and the title of the story. All manuscripts of stories will be handed to a faculty committee to be chosen by the Annual board, and the story pronounced best by this committee will be awarded the prize and published in the annual. Further particulars in regard to this matter may be had of any of the following members of the board: R. R. Whitman, Alberta Corbin, James Owen, H. R. Linville, or R. D. O'Leary. A similar prize of ten dollars worth of books will be offered for the best University song, to consist of not less than three nor more than five stanzas, and a chorus, each stanza to contain not less than two nor more than six lines. All manuscript of songs must be handed in by November 15, and accompanied as in the case of the stories, by a sealed envelope containing the name of the writer and the title of the song. These manuscripts will also be handed to a committee chosen from the faculty, and the song to which this committee awards the prize will be published in the Annual. Any student of the University may compete for either or both of these prizes, and it is hoped that enough will do so to make these two composition among the most interesting features of the Annual.

Midsummer Night's Dream. An opportunity will be given next Friday night for students and others to attend this play at the Grand Opera House in Topeka where it will be given by Miss Georgia Brown, with a splendid cast, and with over one hundred children as fairies. The stage of the Grand is one of the largest in the west, and affords ample room for scenic display. New scenery will be painted by Rohe. Prof. Blake will operate the electric lights, and an orchestra of the best musicians in Topeka will render the complete Mendelsonm music. It will be well worth the trip. Round trip tickets are on sale at the Santa Fe city office at $1.50 for balcony seats, $1.75 for the parquette. The very latest styles and new est creations are always to be found upon our shelves. Miss Brown's work for the Athletic association last year deserves a hearty recognition on this occasion, as she is financially interested in the success of the play at Topeka.
