CHAPEL RHETORICALS.
For some time the need for more and better opportunities for practice in public speaking has been felt by the faculty and students of the University. Since the old chapel rhetoricals were abolished several plans have been adopted, but none have met with any marked success. While a college graduate is always expected to be able to suitably address a public audience, but few who have left the University of Kansas within the past few years could be relied upon to give any sort of an address. This year so strong was the need of some such practice felt that the students held a second oratorical contest and while it did not accomplish all that was expected of it, it was certainly a move in the right direction. As none of these experiments proved eminently successful, the faculty have finally determined to re-establish the old chapel rhetoricals, but only from juniors and seniors are orations exacted.
A change has also been made in the time of chapel exercises. Instead of convening at 8.45 they will be held at 10:30, lasting a half hour. This will necessitate the meeting of the first and second hour classes a half an hour earlier. The first hour class will convene at 8:30 and the second at 9:30 hereafter. This will bring the hour of chapel when most all students are on the hill and will tend to increase the attendance. Then also the time of meeting will bring all students together once at least during the day. While the attendance at chapel exercises 'will not be compulsory, it is expected there will be a vast increase in the attendance.
The new regeme seems a very wise one and will doubtless accomplish the desired results. The plan will not only increase the attendance at chapel, but will afford an excellent practice in public speaking, and the Courier wishes it all possible success.
BASE BALL.
Just at present any comments on discussion of base ball is not at all pleasant. However, it may be best to take a retrospective glance at the work of our team this year in order that we may see "The rock on which they split" and thus avoid their errors.
That we lost the pennant this year through the lack of practice is beyond question and the cause of this can be attributed to no one individual or number of individuals. It was not because the right man did not have charge of the team or because the best players were not selected; but because there was no general ball playing or systematic practice. Owing to the exceedingly wet spring, the McCook field could not be put in shape, and the city ball park had to be resorted to for practice. This ground was occupied almost constantly by the Lawrence club, and consequently the systematic training of the University's club was impossible. Any encouragement to ball practice outside of the nine was out of the question and the regular players had to rustle hard to get themselves in any "shape" at all. As a consequence, when any of the regular team were laid off there was comparatively no one to fill the vacancy.
At the beginning of the year we had a fairly good team. Indeed there was better material this year than ever before and all that seemed necessary was a little systematic practice. But just that practice the team did not have. While Baker's club grew in strength and improved with training our club, for the lack of it, did not, and was consequently defeated.
Next year we will have our own grounds, and can practice to our hearts' content. There should, and probably will be, at least forty candidates for the team next year, when some encouragement to new players can be offered, and every man should be kept in constant practice.
However, let us profit by the experience of this year. It may indeed have been fortunate for base ball in the University, that we were defeated this spring; for now some of our players will realize, who have never appreciated it before, that they cannot play ball without hard and constant practice.
The American society for the extension of University teaching will open in Philadelphia, on October 1st, a seminary for the study of American educational problems and for the training of University extension lecturers and organizers. The Seminary will be under the direction of Prof. E. J. James, president of the association, who will be assisted by a corps of the best educators in the United States. More than a hundred leading American colleges and universities are co-operating in the work of extension teaching and this new departure cannot fail to accomplish much good. It will be of especial interest to all Kansas educators, as the subject of university extension has greatly interested the people of the state during the past winter.
By next year the University of Kansas will have the best athletic field in the state. During the summer the grading and leveling will be completed, a large grand stand erected, and the whole field surrounded by a high board fence. A regular trainer will be secured next fall to coach our foot ball players and aspiring athletes, and with such opportunities as will then be afforded, great things will be expected along the line of athletics.
In the annals of the American Academy of Political and social science for May, is an article on "Indian Education" by Prof. F.W. Blackmar. The Review of Reviews for June contains an interesting paper, also by the same author, on Indian education at Haskell Institute. Both are exceedingly valuable treaties and reflect credit not only upon the professor but also upon the University.
The University of Kansas now has as fine and complete a system of electric lighting as any in the United States. It was put up, and is operated entirely by the students of the University.
The Graduating Recitals.
The graduating recitals. The graduating recitals of the class of '92 were continued last week, the fourth being that of Miss Daisy Orton on Friday evening. A full house greeted the fair graduate. All were delighted with the biliancy and finish of her touch and execution, especially on the Rubinstein Valse Caprice, the Moszkinski number and the smaller selections. Miss Orton was assisted by Miss Titsworth who rendered a vocal solo in a beautiful and charming manner.
The last recital was given by Miss O.in Bell on Tuesday evening, May 31. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity, many people standing during the entire program. Mrs. Bell gave a very heavy program for a young graduate,it being equivalent to that given by several concert, artists here the past winter. Mrs. Bell had the assistance of Mr. J. W. Bell in a vocal number and Buch's orchestra on the closing number. The Chopin grand polonaise. The execution was especially fine and on this difficult number which brought the series of recitals to a most brilliant close.
The library has just received an addition of one hundred and seventeen volumes of periodical literature. This gift is through Chancellor Snow, from a brother in-law, the late Charles A. Aiken, D. D., formerly a professor of the Princeton Theological Seminary. There are thirty volumes of the North American Review, dating from 1852; The London Quarterly Review from 1851 to 1864 and twenty-eight volumes of the North British Review in the collection. This accession will give, hereafter, much more available material when using Poole's index. There is also included in the gift a large folio edition of the Rule of Conscience by Jeremy Taylor, published in 169e.

Hon. J. Caesar.
The class of '92 showed their originality by present a burlesque on Julius Caesar instead of the usual class day program. The play was given Saturday night. Through the courtesy of the seniors the juniors occupied the boxes. The audience was large and appreciative.
The play was presented in a new and startling manner. The costuming showed the inventive genius of each character. R. D. Brown as Calphurnia and Eugene Caldwell of Portia exhibited a charm and grace which was striking. The character of Julius Caesar was taken by Truitt. His diminutive figure and his activity at the funeral oration made the interpretation of the character highly ludicrous.
Harold Barnes as Mark Antony showed himself a player of no mean meritt He preserved a true conception of the character which he assumed throughout the entire play.
Hadley and Sawtell as Brutus and Cassius introduced many inovations. Even the plebs, the thunder god and Pompey's statue would have made a first rate actor blush.
The local hits were numerous and senior wit abounded in every sentence. No one escaped a roasting from the street commissioner up through barbs, frats, juniors and faculty.
By the presentation of the play the seniors linked their memory with that of the Hon. Jay Caesar himself and have thus made themselves illustrious among all the classes of the University, past and future.
