THE LECTURE COURSE.
Seven of the eight entertainments to be given on the University lecture course have now been secured. They are as follows: A concert by the Schubert Quartette, Oct. 22nd; A lecture by the Hon. Charles Emory Smith, Dec. 1st; A lecture by Prof. Cohn, of Columbus College, sometime in January or early in February, A lecture by Miss Isabel F. Hopgood, probably about Jan. 24th; A concert by the Morart Symphony Club, Feb. 24th; A lecture by Dr. Gunsoulus, the last week in March, and finally an entertainment by Leland T. Powers, April 8th.
The Bureau has written to a number of eminent lecturers with a view to getting one of them for the unfilled place on the course. Among them are Henry George, John Fiske, Washington Gladden, Prof. Richard G. Moulton, of Chicago University; the eminent African explorer, M. Paul B. DuChailla and Dr. Parkhurst. Course tickets have already been placed on sale at the University and the High School. The members of the University faculty, teachers of the High School and students of these two institutions have been given two days in which to purchase tickets, after which period any one may purchase them.
The course tickets will be sold for $2.00. Let it be remembered that for those holding these tickets the chart for reserved seats will be opened twenty-four hours before it is thrown open to the general public. Only six hundred tickets will be sold.
MANDRAGORA.
Last week's issue of the Courier gave an interesting account of a very rare drug, which has been recently added to our materia medica cabinet. Since there has been a great deal of speculation on the part of those who have seen it, as to whether it ever grew so symmetrically, and on the part of those who have not seen it, as to whether the description was not overdrawn, the pharmacy department wishes to fully indorse the statements of last week, and to add a few words by way of distinction between this oriental mandrake and the mandrake sold in our shops today
The mandragora is unknown as a medicine in the U. S., but is a native of southern Europe. It is a fleshy tuberous root known to botanists as Atropa Mandragora. (Nat. Ord. Solonaceae). It possesses the same narcotic and poisonous properties as belladonna and other members of the nightshade family. The names of these two plants bear a certain analogy in their derivation. Belledonna, in Italian, means handsome lady. Mandragora is so called from the striking resemblance which the root bears to the figure of a man. We learn from a work on ancient pharmacy that mandragora gained a great reputation as a "lone pation" during the period just before the reformation, and that hunters and dealer often carved it into shapes resembling little men and women. To enhance the price it was said to grow under the gallows of a victim of a judicial murder, and could be dug only at great risk of life, since its horrible shrieks on being drawn from the earth, might strike the hearer dead. Pling says "Whoever would dig it must avoid having the wind against him, and when he digs should face the direction of the setting sun."
The mandrake of the United States Pharmacopocia is designated as the rhizome and rootlets of Podophyllum peltatum (Natural Order Berberidaceal). It appears in small cylindrical pieces about one-fifth of an inch thick, and is known by several common names, such as may apple, wild lemon and vegetable mercury. It grows in rich shady places throughout the United States and has scarcely any other use in medicine than that of a cholagogue cathartic.
The question of whether or not nature has been assisted in developing the specimen we possess does not in any way detract from its value
FOOT BALL.
The foot ball practice of the past two weeks has had a marked effect in the development of players. In fact this has been the main object of the practice. So far, there has been but little systematized work, but several new men have made a worthy showing. The main duty now is to find suitable end men. If this can be accomplished K. U. is sure of a winning team. A large number of men are working hard for these positions and it is quite probable that competent men will be developed.
It will need every effort to get the team in condition for the game at Denver on Oct. 15. This means that every player must be on hand promptly and exercise care in drilling, such as will give him a clear understanding of every rule, play, or signal that may be given. It is of the utmost importance that every man should have a clear under standing of duty in every play. Let team work be the chief factor. Individual plays count but little. The most of the time from now on will be taken up in practicing plays and signals.
The team is not yet definitely named and will not be until shortly before the first game. However, it can be said that the man who secures a position will do so by hard and persistent work. ___
The question "what is the matter" addressed to some athletic young men who wore a gloomy countenance yesterday, would have brought forth a great tale of woe, about some awkwark fellows who had broken one of the so-called working-boots; thus leaving only one boat availabe and consequently, creating great fear in the breasts of those interested in boating, that there would be no boat races next spring. This fear is not unfounded
and what a shame that, with one of the best mile racing courses in the United States, there are not any better boats to be obtained. The Athletic association has given both the base ball and foot ball teams a start, and it is its duty to do as much for those interested in boating by providing two good racing boats for their use.
Our Representatives in Tennis. The tennis tournament, held on the West Lawrence courts last Friday and Saturday, was a success in every particular.
Those who took part in it played well. The most noticeable feature of the playing was, perhaps, the great improvement shown by hereetofore almost unknown players in their work of last Friday and Saturday. From this it is evident that the University will not be left without a champion after the present crack players leave school the coming spring.
The playing was almost always close and sharp. Often from fifteen to twenty games were necessary to decide the winner of a set.
In doubles, the most interesting match was probably that between Professors Canfield and Kellogg and Whitman and Bedell. The "Faculty" did not have sufficient endurance, however, and Whitman and Bedell won after a long struggle. The final maten was between Whitman and Bedell and Sherman and Alden. The result of it was that the latter gained the privilege of representing the University in doubles.
In singles, Whitman won with comparative ease.
It has been brought to the notice of the tennis commitee quite forecibly during this tournament, that it is very necessary to have courts prepared on the Athletic Field, were they will be under the controll of the Athletic Association.
It is to be hoped that the committee will be able to accomplish this in the near future.
The lecture course tickets will be put on sale soon. They will be made out in better form this year. There will be a detachable coupon for each lecture which will be transferable. These coupons can be cashed in any time that an engagement is not filled and a rebate proportional to the number of entertainments will be paid to the holder. Every student should be prepared to purchase a ticket before they are place on sale to the public.
Our Glove department is one of the most comprehensive in the United States.
