HARE and Hounds.
EXAMINATIONS are coming.
The contest in oratory next Friday night will prove an exciting one. ___
K. S. U. is champion in all the sports. Will she hitch her wagon to the morning star and gain the winner in the state contest?
The orator at Baker, Mr. Willits, is reported to be a strong man who will make the winner of the state contest work hard for the honor of beating him.
PROF. E. M. HOPKINS wrote the valedictory in foot ball. His name should have been signed to the article, but was omitted through mistake in proof reading.
The Christmas Courier is receiving a great many notices from papers in the state. All seem proud of K. S. U. and are glad to see it advertised in so neat a way.
The winners of the contest at Winfield according to the latest reports from there, is pre-eminently the man for the position and is entirely satisfactory to the college. Mr. Barrett is said to be a strong man on the rostrum and nuch is hoped from him in the state contest.
APPRECIATING the feelings of the M. S. U. students over the recent disastrous fire from what our own would be should our K. S. U. become a mass of charred ruins, we can but extend our sympathy and hope that a legislature which has proved itself to be liberal, will replace the buildings destroyed with far finer ones.
THERE may be some humor in the idea of throwing rubbers at each other in the halls but if there is we have failed to catch it. We have lost several pair of rubbers from this heedless disregard of others property and we would kindly ask the rubber fiends to take our hat and overcoat and slam each other with them. When they are worn out just tell us and then we will purchase a club.
THERE is some talk of combining the oratorical association and the lecture course bureau into one organization. The idea is to give the lecture bureau the funds which are distributed as dividends among the stockholders in the association. The profits are not so great that they will aid the lecture bureau and in some ways the scheme would be a detriment to the bureau. If there must be a combination of the two let there be an entirely different organization made comprising both the O.A. and the L.C.B. under one organization. The contest in oratory under the new scheme might come in as one of the attractions in the course. The Courier is not in favor of a doubling up of the two organizations but if it must happen let the lecture bureau retain its entirety.
"The class in statistics has undertaken to secure some reliable information regarding cost of living per school year for students attending our University. It is therefore desired that every student to whom this circular is sent, return an answer within a weeks time to the subjoined itemization of expenses. DIRECTIONS."
The class in statistics has undertaken some real practical work in the collecting of statistics and have issued a little scheduled circular which reads as follows:
COLLEGE STATISTICS.
1. Sign your name and give the course you are pursuing and the class of which you are at present a member, in the space left for that purpose. The reason for requesting your signature is merely to secure authenticity of statistics. That portion of the circular containing your signature will be detached by Mr. E. D. Adams, instructor in statistics, from the portion giving expenses. Onlp the latter portion will be seen and used by the class in compiling the figures given, so that there can be no knowledge of the personality of any one answering this circular.
2. Each student is expected to answer for the expenses of the college year, of ten months ending June 10th, 1891. Indicate the class year for which the expenses are given by drawing your pen through that year named in the heading at the top of the next page.
3. When it is impossible to give accurate figures for the items of expense called for, make a close estimate, and upon entering the item place the letter E after it.
4. Place this circular in the enclosed envelope, seal, and deposit it in one of the boxes standing in the hall of the main building and in the hall of the law building.
E. II. Snow, Chancellor."
F. H. SNOw, CHATTERMAN
The following items are in the schedule for expenses: Tuition and laboratory fees, books and stationery, clothing, roomrent, furniture, board, fuel and light, washing, sundries. The Courier hopes to get a "scoop" on the catalogue and publish the results of the class's research.
The contest in oratory here will be the best that has occurred for yeas. Those taking part are all students of exceptional merit and have devoted considerable time to the preparation of their orations and several of them are quite prominent as speakers already. The halls, even now are resounding with the voice of the drill master in elocation as he laboriously instills into his willing pupils the proper tones and the right gestures which are to make them winners.
A University ball. Proceeds to be devoted to the lecture course fund.
There is still a great deal of sickness in town. It is mostly the grip and a larger number of elderly people are afflicted than usual.
The Regents of the University Make a Very Proper Acknowledgement.
HIS WORK APPRECIATED.

LAWRENCE, KAN., Nov. 20, 1891.
Charles Coffin, Ea., Executor of the will
of Wm B. Spoon, Boston, Muss.;
The will of the late William B. Spooner,'who left nearly $100,000 to the state university, was one of the most embarrassing and complicated wills ever admitted to probate in Boston. The number of bequests was nearly fifty and the conditions and contingencies were almost without limit. For twelve years the executor worked diligently, practically without compensation, and finally had the satisfaction of closing up the entire transaction to the satisfaction of every person interested. Fully appreciating the work of the executor, the board of regents transmitted to him the following letter:
DEAR SIR. The undersigned members of the board of regents of the University of Kansas beg leave to express to you in this insufficient way their appreciation of the admirable manner in which you have exe cuted the irksome and perplexing trust imposed on you by your friend the late Wm. B. Spooner. Mr. Spooner's magnificent liberality to the people of Kansas has by your faithful and intelligent labors been made available to those for whom it was intended; and on behalf of the state we make haste to acknowledge the great debt of gratitude which we owe you. It is our earnest de sire that at no distant day you will become our guest, that we may more adequately thank you for what you have done, and at the same time show you, in some detail, for whom and for what you have done so. Respectfully yours.

Unfortunately the happy suggestion of a visit to Kansas by Mr. can never be realized as news has just come of the good man's death. A severe attack of pneumonia was more than his system could with stand. Mr. Coffin will always be held in grateful remembrance by Kansans—as so well indicated by the language of the regents' letter.
