What Has Been Accomplished-
The Work Next Year.
THE UNIVERSITY YEAR.
A hasty glance at the work of the University during the past year shows a remarkable and gratifying degree of progress in all lines. The development of University Extension in connection with the institution has been the most marked feature of the year. In addition to the regular courses of lectures delivered under this system, many sinlge lecturers have been given in various parts of the state by various members of the faculty. There is a growing demand on the part of people of the state for the aid of the University in cultivating a healthful educational culture. By means of this going out among the people by the instructors, there is gained an acquaintanceship between the University and the people which is mutually advantageous.
The establishment of the school of engineering one year ago and the expansion of the work in its two courses during the last year is another marked feature of 1891-92. The marvelous growth of the athletic interests is a gratifying feature of the year. In the absence of a much needed gymnasium and course of physical culture the development of field athletics and the organization of a strong athletic team has done much to stimulate a rather flagging athletic spirit in the University. It is probable that the board of regents will take some action whereby the athletic work of the coming year will be under the oversight, to a considerable extent, of a competent physical authority.
The satisfactory results obtained by Prof. F. H. Snow in his experimental work on the contagious diseases of insects has given him and the University added fame. The practical application of science, wherever met, appeals strongly to practical people, and such are the people of Kansas.
On the other hand the development of a truly scientific spirit is an integral feature in a true University. The publication of the first number of the Kansas University Quarterly, today issued, shows that this spirit is not lacking in the University of Kansas. This publication is a medium for the publication of the results of original research by members of the University. It is maintained by the University, an appropriation for its establishment having been made by the board of regents, at their last regular meeting. The number just issued is a credit to the University, and the establishment and maintenance of such a publication is a

considerable step forward along true University lines.
The addition to the instructional force in the school of music marks an era in the growth of this school. The graduating of nine students this year from this school is strong testimony to the efficiency of its energetic dean.
In all lines has the University grown. The faculty has been enlarged and strengthened; the attendance is unprecedented; enthusiasm runs high, and the work and result of the coming year are looked forward to with high expectations by all.
The remarkable advance made by the school of law the past year is

attracting the attention of the legal profession throughout the state as well as the friends of the University generally. From an attendance of forty-five in 1890-'91 the law school enrollment has reached seventy-eight the past year.

A new optional course will be offered next year in the history of the drama covering all the literatures represented in the University work. It will be given the first term, every day, and the work will be taken up by Professors Wilcox, Robinson, Dunlap, Canfield, Carruth, in turn, each department thus receiving about three weeks. The work will consist of lectures on the history and development of the drama in each literature, which seems to be missed in the present system of specialization. No knowledge of any foreign language is required, and it will therefore be a course available
the addition of Hon. S. O. Thacher, Hon. S. A. Riggs, and Judge A. W. Benson has enabled the work of the school to be considerably extended in scope. The faculty now numbers six regularly engaged instructors and lecturers. The methods of instruction are modern and thoroughly scientific. The design of the department is to furnish a complete course of legal instruction for persons intending to practice at the bar in any state of the union. For admission to the school, candidates must be prepared for examination in English, orthography, grammar and composition, and in American and general history. Graduates of colleges, normal schools, academies and high schools, or persons holding teacher's certificates are admitted without examination. Persons who have privately completed a part of the course are admitted to advanced standing in the junior class on satisfying the faculty of the school as to their qualifications. The academic year of 1892-93 will begin September 14. Special catalogues of the school of law and any information concerning the work of the school will be furnished on application to Chancellor F. H.
and very desirable for students who have had little work in literature. However, it is believed that it will be a very profitable course for any student.
GERMAN OPTIONALS.
The chief work in German for advanced students the coming year will be a course in the Literature of the Eighteenth Century, in which the entire class will read the chief works of Lessing, Goethe, and Schiller, while the lesser works of these authors, as well as other authors of of less importance, will be distributed among the members of the class for reviews, to be read in class. This will be supplemented by lectures on the literature preceding the eighteenth century and on the great movements in the century itself.
The short course in the history of German literature will be given in the fall instead of in the spring as hitherto.
mation sought for by prospective students, superintendents and principals of high schools. Any of these catalogues or bullets will be sent free on application. In addition, all letters addressed to the Chancellor of the University re questing information with regard to special phases of the University work, inquiring after the conditions of University life, etc., etc., are promptly answered.

discourse.
The speaker took as his theme the three chief characteristics of John the Baptist, his firmness in the right; his self abnegation for the right, and his faithfulness to his prophetic mission in behalf of the right. With
porsuasive and powerful thought these three characteristics were held up as models for the men of today.
Following this the speaker noted the development of the idea of moral greatness in the history of man. The failure of this development was shown in the history of the Greek and Hebrew civilization. It was pointed out that a few years ago our nation worshiped physical greatness, while today that homage is given to the intellectual traits. But this leads to overlooking the moral attributes of man. There are many people today who are morally greater than John the Baptist; people who, perhaps, occupy the lower walks of life, and yet are truly great. In closing the speaker exhorted all to join those who are endeavoring for the right and move onward in moral achievements.
"The call to moral greatness comes to all; to the ignorant as well as to the learned; to the beggar as to the millionare; to the wage worker as well as to the capitalist; each one in his place according to his ability, is commanded to press forward and climb upward till he reaches the throne of God, where Christ sits to reward the faithful and obedient."

Annual Address.
The annual address was delivered Monday night in the chapel by Rev. Myron W. Reed of Denver. Chancellor Snow in introducing the speaker said that formerly we have brought men from the east to address us but we have come to recognize that a large per cent of the brains of the nation is in the west and so we have invited a man from the Queen City of the west. The speaker said:
When I was well on my way to college the war broke out and I followed the drum. Today when I see a boy furnished with everything necessary to obtain an education except an inclination I wonder at that boy. The coarse arts are first in time. The nation until now has not had time for high and fine things. There is no more west. People must either go up or go down. We have at last an opportunity to study. We can not afford the luxury of war. We are done pioneering We are not anxious about the quantity of population; we want quality. The current has set too strongly toward material things. Money is too much considered nothing makes a country except folks.
We are after all becoming more sentimental, American travelers do homage to Burns while Scotland busies herself with her indurries. The current of travel sets toward the places of low living and high thinking.
There is nothing great in the world but man, nothing great in man but soul. Our plains are broad, our rivers long, our mountains high, what we want is great men. I do not count a man educated if he has not read the best that has been thought and said. There is a literature knowledge and a literature of power. The reports sent out by congressmen to their constituents are literature of knowledge, the story of the prodigal son is literature of power. There is no end to the making of books. We must select the best from the best. Young men and young women I congratulate you upon having so much of life before you. The old world is a discipline, the new world an opportunity.
