GLEE AND BANJO CLUB,
The Glee and Banjo club is making arrangements for a tour this fall. Several towns desire to secure dates for entertainments and the business manager is arranging a trip. The success of the tour last year was certainly flattering and that the people were pleased with the concerts given, is proved by the fact that they wish to secure the club again.
But the club does not flatter itself that there is no room for improvement. New voices have been added and the club has been materially strengthened. A sufficient number of the last year's members have returned so that it will be for the most part composed of experienced men.
Prof. Geza Dome will accompany the club as violin virtuoso. Prof. Dome is already quite well known throughout the state and the club is very fortunate in being accompanied by so fine an artist.
The tour of the principal cities of the state will do much toward advertising the Universito and increasing its popularity. The club undertakes to make the tour independent of any financial backing from the institution and it certainly should have the support of the entire school.
A FALL TOURNAMENT.
While foot ball is engaging the attention of its large number of admirers, the lovers of other out-door amusements should not be backward in pressing the demands of their favorite sport. Tennis in particular should not be allowed to become obsolete, and those interested in it should see that some steps be taken for the benefit of the tennis players. The triangular league includes tennis as well as foot ball and base ball, and the University should not take any chances of losing one of the pennants. The University at present has no tennis courts, and there is no opportunity for their being made this fall. The tennis players in the University have therefore to depend upon the courtesy of the Lawrence clubs for whatever practice they get, and though this can not be obviated at once, some encouragement should be given by the Athletic association to this branch of athletics. A fall tournament would be the proper beginning for such encouragement, and should by all means be given under the auspices of the association. The courts of the west Lawrence clubs could be obtained and would make a most satisfactory place for a tournament. The courts have undergone improvements during the summer which make them by far the best in Lawrence, and a tournament given on them would start the tennis ball rolling for the year. Something of the kind will be necessary to determine who is to represent the University in the triangular league. Let the tennis committee take this in hand.

SCHOOL OF ART.
The department of music has issued a circular to the musical public of the state announcing the changes in the faculty. The faculty as now organized is composed of Geo. B. Penny, dean and professor of vocal culture and theory; Prof. Preyer, piano forte; Prof. Dome, violin; Mrs. Dunlap, piano and voice; Miss Laura Penny, assistant in piano.
The senior class is composed of five members, Miss Louisa Smith of Leavenworth and Miss Hinman of Lawrence in the artists course; Miss Hood of Nortonville in the teachers course; Miss Titsworth of Nortonville and Miss Kaufman of Newton in vocal music.
The work in art is under the direction of Prof. Hopkins. There will be no senior clos this year, the course having been extended to four years and made to include English, German and Italian.
The stage in the concert room has been lowered to a proper height and the room seated with chairs. The school has in contemplation the publication of a monthly journal devoted to music.
THE ANNUAL.
For the first time in some years the the University is to have an annual. It is to be gotten out under the auspices of the senior collegiate class, which has been maturing its plans for this publication since the middle of last year. It is the intention of the class to get out such a book as shall be a credit both to itself and to the University. The aim will be to make it a complete and fair record of every phase of University life during the year. up to the time of publication.including more or less detailed accounts of each of the departments, descriptions of the various societies, class and other University organizations, class histories, etc. Various literary features will also be introduced, which will be announced in due time through the columns of the COURIER.
Though,as stated before,the publication is to be under the management of the senior class, yet every other class and department will be asked to cooperate with the seniors in the enterprise.
The annual will be published some time just before the holidays. With regard to its size and other mechanical features it may be said that the class hopes to be able to get out a tastefully bound volume of some two hundred (200) pages, illustrated with cuts of members of the faculty, class emblems, University buildings, the various athletic teams, the Glee
In order that this co-operation may be secured in the most satisfactory manner it has been decided that each of the three collegiate classes outside of the senior class, and each of the departments of engineering, law, music and pharmacy, be asked to elect two editors who shall have in charge the pages of the annual to be devoted to his class or department.
and Banjo club, and other objects of interest to University people. It may as well be said in the beginning, however, that the size of the publication, and the fullness with which the various interests shall be represented in its pages must depend largely on the support which these interests are willing to give the seniors in this matter. But whatever the size of the book or the number of its illustrations, it may at least be said that it will be printed on the best of paper and that no cuts will be put in which are not first class in every respect.
The senior class lays the matter before the faculty, the students, and the other friends of the University. It is going to publish an annual. It will in any event make it a decent, a fair and a creditable publication, with the hearty co-operation of those from whom it asks encouragement and support it will make it such a publication as has never yet gone out from the University, and one which will do much to secure for it, both here and in the east, that respect which it deserves as the leading educational institution of the west.
CHAPEL RHETORICALS
The COURIER publishes the plan for chapel rhetoricals. We regret that an experiment which has previously proved a failure should be repeated. It is unpopular with the entire body of students and with a part of the faculty.
To make the work a required study is a step backward from the plan of optionals which has been followed by the University. There are many who do not aspire to oratorical honors or seek distinction as public speakers. Oratory is itself an unnatural manner of expression for most occasions and few care to practice it. Those who do will find a semi-annual appearance before a depleted audience but a sad training.
What most desire is the ability to make an extemporaneous speech and the place for such training as is adapted to their needs is the literary society. There are but few who have not already delivered high school orations and learned that such productions contain little real value. A University man should be taught to prepare addresses and papers and the theme and forensic work is well adapted to this purpose.
If there are those in the University who desire training in oratory they should be offered the advantages of systematic training under a professor of elocution.
The faculty have sought to increase the attendance at chapel this year and their efforts have been quite successful,but the necessity of listening to one or two set speeches will cause many to absent themselves. A few will attend no doubt out of respect to their friends,and others who are regular in their attendance at devotionals will stay for the same reason,but rhetoricals
can hardly be expected to draw a crowd when they are unpopular.
We regret that Prof. Blake should have coupled his generosity with so unfortunate a movement. Probably it was out of pity for the suffering students that he thus expressed his sympathy with the movement.
We say what we do concerning this plan to express the feelings of the majority of the students, lower class men as well as juniors and seniors. No student of the University is unloyal to the best interests of the institution, but they will not submit to these regulations without a protest. If the students submit it will be out of respect to the school rather than because they believe in chapel rhetoricals. If the diploma of the institution is held in an iron hand few will care to submit to its rigor for the sake of a sheep skin.
