An Answer.
To the Editor of the Courier:
Your correspondent, V, offers a number of criticisms and suggestions concerning the management of the University museums, some of which are pertinent, others not. I quite agree with him that the museums should be more freely accessible, to both the students and the public, I should, also, be very glad to see them opened Sunday afternoons, for the benefit of those who cannot visit them at other times. On the other hand, I differ with him very strongly on the subject of guides. So far from making guides of the professors, I would dispense with those we now have. Our museum is the only one with which I am acquainted that enjoys the luxury of guides. I certainly would acknowledge my own unfitness to act as a guide through the different departments, and would not deem it just to expect a greater fitness on the part of a student. Your correspondent, and, with him, probably many others, are naturally impatient that so little information can be obtained of much of the rich material now in the cases. But, the student or visitor should bear in mind that the formation of a museum is a work of years, and ours is very young. Many will hardly think it possible, that the museum of Yale college, except in the branches of mineralogy, marine invertebrates, and skeletons, has less material accessible to the student than do we here; or at least such was the case the last time I was in the museum. Very much has been done here in the accumulation and preparation of material; but, there still remains much to do in making that material most serviceable to the University and the public. It is, perhaps, in the geological department that the need is most apparent. As soon as possible, how ever, systematic classification, labels, descriptions and illustrations will make clear all that the reasonable visitor will ask for.
As regards the use of the museum in class instruction, I think your correspondent will admit that his ten weeks course in geology, the most extensive of the natural science, would not have permitted a very exhaustive study of the museum during recitation hours.
The museums are for instruction, and, as such, they require study; he who expects to have all his knowledge pumped into him is of no use there,—or elsewhere. To make
pyblic showmen of the professors would hardly comport with the dignity of a great institution.

From Monday's Journal:
The Louinger firmly believes in, and usually acts upon, the old adage "It is better to be last at a feast rather than the first at a fray." Not that he is always the last at a feast either, as many of the University boys can testify who have kindly invited him on more than one occasion. But last Friday, being a lucky day; it so chanced, it just so happened, happened, you know, that he did find himself at the last of a fray. It was
"At the close of the day, when the ham- let is still."
But when the Sophomore and Junior classes were "just rushing" each other. There at the foot of the stairway leading down from the top of North Dome, the fray was fast and furious at the finish. It was a "well fought field" through a pass narrower than that of Thermopylae. Possibly the Lousager may have imagined he was there on a "mission" to "gather up the wounded and lay away the dead." But he was agreeably disappointed. As the Hibernian remarked, it was a tale of "love, murder, and nobody kilt."
Seriously, the Louinger was exceedingly gratified to witness a "struggle of classes" maintained so stoutly but in high good humor, and ending so peacefully. He witnessed a vigorous conflict—but not one angry blow; he saw many flushed faces—but not one distorted with rage or passion; he heard some boisterous voices—but not one single oath, not even an unkind word. Amid all their excitement these students of Kansas University, whether Juniors or Sophomores,—as the Louinger is happy to testify—failed not to remember that they all belonged to the class of gentlemen. No hazy—or hazing—characters participated. The louenger was almost tempted to exclaim with the poet—
And my locks not turning gray.
The latest use for vaseline is to soften the uppers of patent leather shoes. It is said to be excellent. Raymond is selling lots of it for that purpose.
"I love to look on a scene like this
Of wild and careless play.
And I almost feel that I am not old
And I almost feel that I am not old
and my locks not turning gray."
