A Meeting Held and a Committee Appointed.
The plan of securing, if possible, members of the supreme bench of Kansas and Missouri for a course of lecturers yearly, supplemented by leading members of the bar, was highly indorsed.
A very large delegation of Kansas City alumni and friends will attend the annual banquet June 5th. Another meeting will be held in two weeks to complete plans mapped out.—K. C. Journal.
The resident alumni of the two Kansas Cities of the law department of the State University of Kansas, numbering between twenty-five and thirty do not think the board of regents of that institution are treating the department from which they draw their fund of legal lore very generously in their appropriations.
Last evening a meeting of the alumni was held in the law office of of Mr. John Sullivan in the New York Life building. A committee consisting of Messrs. Benjamin Jacobs, Cyrus Crane, E. Enns, Alfred Fidler, Solon Gilmore, Bruno Hobbs. T. A. Pollock, James Harris and I. Bradley were appointed to look into the interests of the department and report to the Alumni Association at its meeting at Lawrence during commencement week, in June, for action.
The professors and students of the law department at the present time heartily indorse the sentiment expressed and the action taken at this meeting. We have investigated the subject somewhat and do not find any other department of the University so neglected.
We regret that this state of things exists but the facts as to liberry facilities is, that, counting the recent additions made to the library by gifts from generous friends there are only 725 volumes belonging to the department while Prof. Green furnishes, for the use of students, over 1,000 volumes from his private library. There is not a dictionary, except law dictionaries, or an encyclopedia or anything of that kind from which any general information may be obtained and the law students are not allowed to use the library at the main building as freely as we think they should be. Another serious difficulty is that no lights have been provided for the recitation room or the library on account of which the students have been obliged to hold the meetings of the Kent club etc, in
the afternoon when a number of the students are busy in offices and elsewhere and cannot attend, thereby depriving them of these benefits altogether.
As regards the dean and instructors, we think this department is as well provided for as any in the University. We have never heard anything but the best of satisfaction expressed by the students in respect to them. Prof. Green is in receipt of numerous letters from well known firms in the neighboring states as well as in Kansas requesting him to take charge of difficult cases in which they are involved. This speaks for itself as to his abilities as a lawyer and an instructor.
Of course we do not expect this will have any influence on the action of the regents, but we do hope the action taken by the Alumni association will
Miss Daisy Orton expects to remain in Lawrence the greater part of the summer.
MUSIC NOTES.
As a rule, the pupils follow their teachers example, we will soon see it verified in the music department.
Prof. Hair, of Baker, will give a piano recital Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the music rooms at the north college.
The young ladies taking part in the Mendelssohn concert will have rehearsals every afternoon at 2:30.
Pope Leo on the School Question.
Pope Leo on the School Question.
An Associated press reporter at Rome who is very sure he knows what he is talking about says the coming encyclical of Leo XIII will be the crowning work of this pontificate. It will deal with questions of state, labor and schools. His holiness will take no side for or against anybody, but will look at all questions from the standpoint of each side and draw his conclusions. Especially in the settlement of delicate questions his holiness counsels conciliation, peace and moderation. He wisely says time will settle many difficulties when nothing else can. He requests Catholics in America not to antagonize state or national authorities. On this point, according to the correspondent, he says:
The Holy See counsels reconciliation and pacification. In any case time will inevitably settle all such conflicts. After one generation is past divisions and differences will disappear, but the problems of religion range themselves on national and constitutional ground. The United States would have a very simple means of restraining conflicts, should any arise, by a law regulating immigration to the states. But the church does better into the questions which are quite outside her province.
On the vexed question of parochial schools his instructions will be, pointedly:
Catholics in America should have parochial schools in all parishes where it is possible, and where there is sufficient means to render them equal to the public schools. Where it is impossible, schools should be established in which the parish may be a daughter of the school should be persuaded to permit instruction in the catechism outside of the hours regularly appointed for the ordinary school subjects, as is done in Germany. One thing, however, is absolutely obligatory, that it, to found no parish school, should not level with those of the state, for it would simply end in the children deserting them in favor of the state schools. At present, however, Catholics in the United States cannot rival the state schools, as they have not sufficient resources to specify the types of professions specifics most particularly that their parochial schools must in every degree be one to those of the State.
Dr. Sharp, of the Academy of Natural Sciences, says the northern division of the Caucasian race is growing persistently darker skinned and the golden and flaxen blonde type is disappearing He attributes this gradual darkening to the retention of biliary pigments in the blood, owing to the action of heat, and that is owing to the artificial heating of the houses of civilized people in modern times. In winter our houses are now as warm as in summer, and that is gradually making of us a darker skinned race. But if heat makes men dark skinned then cold ought to make them fair, whether they are of the Caucasian race or not. Cold has had its way with the Esquimaux for many centuries now, and they are still as dark as they can be, for white people.
There is one important difference between men and women criminals. The woman may steal, swindle, or even murder, but when cornered and caught she confesses the crime. The man criminal does not. He maintains usually a stolid silence, and neither threats nor promises can move him. He has more strength and nerve. The assistant forewoman in John Wanamaker's fur department in Philadelphia has in the last four years purloined $300 worth of goods. When arrested the first thing she did was to become frightened and confess the whole. Before women decide to commit crimes they ought first to consider whether they have nerve enough to keep their mouths shut if they are suspected and arrested.
