HISTORY AND SOCIOLOGY.
One of the most prosperous and promising departments of study to be found in the west is that of historical science in our university. The department is well organized; the instruction is ample, thorough and liberal. Its growth has been rapid and the number of students who avail themselves of the advantages offered is constantly increasing. At present twenty-four courses are offered, thus giving the student the privilege of choosing his line of study—a privilege essential to good university work. The courses are, English History, the History of Civilization, Political Economy, French and German History, Historical Method and Criticism, Statistics, Journalism, American History, Local Administration and Law, Public Finance and Banking, English Constitutional History, Renaissance and Reformation, Advanced Political Economy, Institutional History, the Rise of Democracy, Elements of Sociology, Charities and Corrections, Land and Land Tenures, The Political History of Modern Europe, Constitutional Law, International Law and Diplomacy, The Status of Women in the United States, The History and Methods of Legislative Assemblies, Mediaeval History, and to these, several new courses may be added, including graduate courses.
In the investigation of problems of ancient and modern society all authorities are consulted and the aim is to arrive at the truth irrespective of partisan measures or personal prejudice. The desire is to develop independent and mature judgment based on the facts in the case. The library is the great depenence of the students.
A special feature is the seminary where the students of all courses meet once a week to discuss the results of personal investigation and to read papers and listen to those prepared by others. Prominent men of the state have become corresponding members of the seminary. They come before the students with carefully prepared papers on different phases of history and sociology. The personal contact with these men is of great value to the students.
In connection with this department is published "Seminary Notes, a twenty-four page monthly magazine, which is gaining many compliments from educators in the United States.
Of the three instructors in this department, one is a graduate of Johns Hopkins, one of Cornell, and the other of Michigan University. All paid particular attention to these lines of study in their respective universities and hence they have introduced into our department all the advantages of the training enjoyed in the Eastern institutions.
Professor Frank W. Blackmar, who is at the head of this department is a native of Pennsylvania; born in 1854. His collegiate education was received at the University of the Pacific in California and his university training at the Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. From 1881 to 1886, he was professor in the University of the Pacific; 1886-89 a graduate student in the Johns Hopkins University in the department of History, Politics and English; Instructor in History in the same institution in 1887-8; fellow in History
and Politics in 1888-89 and received the Doctor's degree in 1889. Came to Kansas as Professor of History and Sociology in September, 1889. This is his third year in that capacity.
The professor has given numerous publications to the public. They are the results of his studies and investigations and are not written with an aspiration of becoming a popular author, but rather as one method of teaching. His chief work has been in the class room but he does not ignore other methods.
The following are the chief works published :
Federal and State Aid to Higher Education in the United States: Spanish Colonization in the Southwest: The Study of History and Sociology: Spanish Institutions in the Southwest: Essays, Individuality in Politics in Golden, Era: Early German Literature in Golden Era: Longfellow's Michael Angelo in Golden Era: Life of the Early Hebrews in Overland Monthly: Spanish Amesian Words in Modern Language Notes. Among his addresses are, Function of the High School before California State Teachers Association: Political Science in the Public Schools before Kansas State Teachers Association: Free Coinage or the Silver Question at First Western States Commercial Congress.
He has recently been engaged by the Bureau of Education at Washington to write the History of Higher Education in Kansas. Chief attention will be given to the three State Institutions; State University, Agriculture College, State Normal School, and the private or denominational Colleges. But the public common schools and high schools will receive due attention. It will be published in 1892.
The professor is greatly interested in the higher education of the people and as far as time and ability will permit, he is always willing to give addresses to the public. Last year he delivered sixteen lectures besides his regular work. At the beginning of this year he was invited to Kansas City to assist in the organization of a University Extension Society. Subsequently he was asked to deliver the first course of lectures, which is now in progress, the ninth lecture having been delivered. The class numbers over a hundred.

But who wants a "tolerably" "good egg"? And there is a heap of trouble with a "tolerably" good lamp. There is one lampoor without the tolerable—THE ROCHCHESTER. SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL, Good—these words mean much, but to see THE ROCHCHESTER will impress the truth more forbely. All metal touches are absolutely safe and UNBREAKABLE. Like Aladdin's of old, it is indeed a "wonderful lamp," for its marvelous light is purer and brighter 'han gas light, softer than electric light and more cheerful than either.
Look for this staircase - THE ROCHETER. If the lamp dealer hasn't the gen ulter ROCHETER, and the stylish you want, send to us for our new illustrated cat logue and we will s-nt you a lamp a laffy by express—your choice of over 2,000 varets from the LARGEST LAMP STORE in the WORLD.
