We feel slightly embarrassed by the tirade with which the Reporter of last week came down upon us. As we are not in the fray we will have to let our predecessor unload himself.
A professor asked his 'class to learn by heart as part of an examination, three pages of difficult Latin, and one of the students who feared a failure, killed himself. He thought suicide was easier to commit than Latin.
ALTHOUGH it might be somewhat embarassing to the chinch bug it would nevertheless be interesting to the public to have Chancellor Snow mount some of the pets and include them in Prof. Dyche's display at the world's fair.
The enthusiastic class spirit which prevailed last Friday was something new for the University. We do not remember that classes have ever been quite so distinctly separate. The May pole and the little ax did it all. It was a good thing and we all enjoyed it. It is just such episodes as those that make college life enjoyable and that will be the object of pleasant memories in the years to come.
UNIT 12.4 MODULE 1
We are always glad to hear of the success and promotion of alumni. We shall ever be ready to note the prominent places which our graduates are taking for it advertises our University. At the encampment of the G. A. R. at Hutchinson last week the S. of V's., also held an assembly, and in that body quite a number of K. S. U. men had conspicuous places. Captain W. Y. Morgan of Steele City, was elected
TOMORROW the first base ball game of the Triangular League will be played. As many of the students as possible should go to Topeka with our nine and rend the air with their cheers. It will encourage the boys. We believe the day will be ours. But if we are beaten let us take the defeat as gracefully as we can. By all means boys, be fair. Rather suffer defeat than bring reproach upon the University.
delegate to the national S. of V. encampment, and Captains E. C. Harbaugh, of Erie, and A.B. Callahan, of Topeka, were elected alter- dates. Webster of McPherson, is jury advocate, and Captain Grant Harrington of Hiawatha was chosen to the state staff with rank of colonel.
EVERY one has a natural desire to be entertained. So strong is this desire that in some people it completely overpowers all judgment and discretion as to the nature of the entertainment which they should encourage. Nothing does more toward the fulfillment of this desire than the stage and the platform, and yet no phase of our social life has a more ambiguous influence than the theatre, the lecture often being open to the same charge.
We say all hail to the play or lecture whose object it is to educate and elevate at the same time that it pleases, but there certainly ought to be some way of prohibiting the pernicious plays that are given all over our country.
Lawrence is particularly blessed in the character of its entertainments, notwithstanding the popular troupes and the lecturers with stale jokes, that occasionally afflict us. The reason for this is plain to see. This is a city of culture and refinement and the people are choice in their tastes and critical in their judgments. They demand entertainments of a high order and by the law of supply and demand get it. Were any one to ask us to account for this state of Lawrence society we would first of all point to the great institution on the hill. No one can doubt its influence. It has moulded public opinion in more ways than one. Our home talent entertainments under the successful direction of such artists as Miss Brown, Miss Hutchings and Prof. Penny are also doing no small part in forming public taste. Lawrence has a reputation for home entertainments and it deserves it. Little chance for "snide" shows here. The time is coming when it will be so everywhere.
By far the most ludicrous sight we have seen lately is the spectacle the Washburn Reporter is making of itself. Through its own fool-hardiness and the shortcomings of its supporters, it had, figuratively speeking, committed suicide, but the embalmer seems to have done a poor job. After we had preached its funeral sermon the elements seem to have gotten in their work on its emaciated carcas and so swollen its putrescent trunk that even the porcine tegument covering that mass of filth could not stand the strain, and when it burst there was directed toward us a spray of nastiness that could have sprung from no other source. We are very sorry to have to deal with so loathsome an object, and in doing so we hold our skirts well up so as not to come in contact with anything so defiling. We do not desire to waste
space in giving this mongrel cur undue prominence, but we owe it to our readers and the college newspaper world in particular to explain what has caused this boil on the neck of humanity to burst and try to soil our raiment. The relations existing between those two papers haev always been friendly until the Reporter was bought up by an outsider and hired to make an attack on us. This it did in a very ungentlemanly and at the same time weak and pointless article, which was a direct contradiction of what it had said the week before. This appeared rather strange and inconsistent to us, and we said so in a way that completely muzzled this canine's whining jowl. A punch under the ribs by College Life, and an exposure of plagiarism by its orator seems to have removed the period of dog days and now instead of a muzzle for the protection of humanity it has a can tied to its tail, and the undignified and rapid manner in which it is running from place to place and hunting some kennel in which it hide its slinking frame is truly pitiful. That Washburn's Orator stands convicted after a fair trial no one doubts, and if anything more were needed for proof we would refer you to the action of the faculty. The Reporter has the distemper and a bone would be no inducement to it, but to the students of Washburn College we would say that we are as sorry as you are, that this mud can not be cleaned from your garments and only hope that you may gain the high position you have heretofore occupied. They say every dog has his day, but if the Reporter does not take some condition powders pretty soon we are afraid that the old adage will prove false. Alas! alas!
There is something new under the sun, and K. S. U. is the institution which introduced it. Kansas always leads, and the University is throbbing with the spirit of progress. There has just been added to our curriculum a course on "The Status of Women in the United States. The course will be offered in Prof. J.H. Canfield's department of American History and Civics and will be given the second term of each year. The primary object of this course, for which Prof. Canfield has been working for several years, is not to provoke comment and gain notoriety, but to give all who wish it an opportunity to study this subject of growing importance. The course will include a brief review of the condition and the recognition of women to 1550; then will follow a more particular study of her influence with special reference to the beginning of our own history. The study of the progress of women in America will end the course. It is to be made a three-fifths study at first and afterwards a full study. We predict that it will become a popular course.

We are uncompromisingly opposed to making classes in the University an audience for any kind of an advertisement, but if their time is to be taken for any announcement let University affairs have precedence. It certainly is not fair to discriminate against the University in favor of outside undertakings. Let conflicting excursions take care of themselves and do not take the time of classes in advertising either of them.

PARIS, April, 1891.
We are having our spring vacation and have taken advantage of the break in our work to visit Paris. On Monday I started for Paris and came as far as Giessen, not far from Cassel, and of interest to me as the seat of the university where Liebig spent many years of his life before going to Munich. I spent the night at Giessen, and took the cars next day down the beautiful valley of the Lahn to the Rhine at Coblenz, then up the Moselle to Trier. I was much interested in this renowned wine producing district. The Weinberge surpass even those of the most favored portions of the Rhine in their extent and in the inaccessibility of the hills and cliffs upon which the vine is planted. We stopped for two hours at Metz and I was enabled to get a hurried view of the extensive fortifications of this place. Our baggage was very superficially examined at the frontier; indeed my valise was not opened at all. The rooms occupied by Brooks and myself are small, but very conveniently located, and we only use them for sleeping purposes. The weather has been simply vile since my arrival; every day we have had either snow or rain. We have spent some evenings at Mrs. Canfield's, but they live in another part of the city fully three miles from where we are. The next time I visit Paris I shall avoid the early spring. As a consequence however of our being compelled to keep moving to keep warm. We have been over nearly the whole city, we have walked the lengths of all the principle boulevards and streets, wandered for miles along the Seine, and visited and climbed all the principle monuments. We have spent several days among the collections of the Louvand had a look at the Venus de Milo, Murillo's Immaculate Conception, the Regent Diamond, etc. I have especially enjoyed the collections in the Conservatories des Arts and in the Jardin des Plantes. The former are very extensive and extremely interesting to a student of Science. We have been in the vicinity of the Eifel Tower several times and a few days ago, between showers, went to the summit. The view is certainly wonderful. Paris itself seems quite a small place al-
