Two classes of individuals are meaner than the man who tears leaves from a permanent note book. They are robbers and thieves.
It is rumored that a former N. S. U. student, now in heaven, appropriated some cattle in Texas, and as a consequence an infuriated mob opened the portals of etenrity and swung him in.
The Review for March will appear Monday. Poems by Miss Pugh and by W. S. Hayden, an article on the American novel by B.W.Woodward, the orations of Brown, Bowersock and Holmes, besides the usual "month," Reviews and Alumni notes, pronounce an exceptionally interesting number.
The Chemistry department has taken a new departure in the methods of the Freshman work. Instead of devoting the whole time to general, and on account of the short term, a superficial study of the subject, special topics have been assigned to each student. He is expected to become thoroughly informed by outside reading on this particular point. Experimental work will be done and a thesis prepared by each student. Evidently President Eliot's remarks on specialization have had some effect alread-
Frank G. Crowell, son of Major John M. Crowell, has been unanimously elected president of the graduating class of 1891 of the Columbia Law School in New York city. This is the second honor conferred upon Mr. Crowell in the past year, showing that his fine legal ability is recognized, not only by the faculty, but also by the students of the leading law school of
the United States. The Champion is proud of Frank, not only because he is an honor to his most worthy father and mother, but also because he does honor to our city which gave him birth and reared to man's estate.—Atchison Champion.
F. G. Crowell is a graduate of the class of '88, the youngest member of his class. His success will make the hearts of his many friends glad. While here he was known as a bright able student and his ability was recognized on more than one occasion. The fact, of which we are the most proud, is that at one time, he was editor-in-chief of the Courier, and a very good one too. Congratulations Frank.
School of Music Concert.
The third concert given by the musical department at North College on Friday evening last, was as the others have been, a complete success. While it was the third concert given this year, it was also the first of two concerts on the lecture-recital plan which Prof. Penny is making use of for the benefit of his pupils. The affair was of an educational nature, but that it was also highly entertaining was shown by the marked attention of the audience throughout the rendering of a long program.
In the course of a few minutes' talk by Prof. Penny upon the history of the development of instrumental and vocal music founded upon dance forms, the real nature of the evening's entertainment became evident to those who were un initiated. It was to consist of an explanation of the characters of the various forms of dance music, each form being illustrated by a selection rendered by a pupil from the music school.
Every form of dance music from the wild Tarantelle of the Italians to the stately quadrille, as rendered by the Glee Club, echoed through the halls.
Comment upon the skillful renderings of each individual pupil would take up too much space here. All did well. Prof. Penny and his pupils are to be congratulated upon the advancement that music is making in the K. S. U.
Last week the Courier's local column gave a notice of the work of the gymnasium committee slightly at variance with the facts of the case. This is, of course, to be attributed to misinformation of the local man. But if the Courier's local man is misinformed, what is to be expected of the groping rank and file? To instruct my constituency, the readers of the Courier, to whom alone I am amenable, I wish to publish a statement of the

finances of the gymnasium committee.
Forty-five individuals have joined the gymnasium club. Of this number two brethren have declined to to consummate their agreement by depositing the inevitable $2 with the treasurer. Thirty and one-half have paid $61. Two earned their membership by manual labor in the gymnasium. Two were granted membership in payment of unpaid field day claims of last June. Seventeen dollars are still due from eight and one-half members. This makes a possible sum of $78 to pay the following expenses:
McPherson Athletic Club $65.00
McPherson Athletic Club...$65 00
Freight and drayage...13 00
Expenses of committee sent to
make examination and purchase ...9 45
Lumber and materials...3 70
Indian clubs, turning pole (about) ...7 00
Labor in gymnasium...50
Total...$98 02
There is still some money to be raised, you see.

Kansas City Medical School.
Last Monday night witnessed the twenty-second commencement of the Kansas City Medical school, in consequence of which twenty-three young doctors will begin their course of public experimentation.
Prof. Canfield delivered the address of the evening on "Practitioner and the Public." The address was full of good things and won the applause both of the practitioners and public.
At the banquet, which followed the graduating exercises, Prof. Canfield answered the toast, "The Kansas State University," in the iminitable style for which he is famous.
Col. H. M. Green will present a historical sketch to the Seminary this afternoon entitld "James Lane." There is little in history more interesting than that of early times in this state. Col. Green is prepared to entertain and instruct, and should have a large hearing this afternoon at 4.

Athletic Grounds.
The time has come when it is necessary to secure Athletic grounds. The board has as yet done nothing. The money given by Col. McCook and the Board of Regents is lying idle. Some action should be taken. It is generally understood that there is a difference of opinion existing in the athletic board in regard to what piece of land should be secured. Some of the board desire to pay a small sum of money for a piece of land not at all suitable for an athletic field, while the others desire to pay a good price for a piece of land that is in every way suitable for athletic purposes. The piece that is not suitable, but can be secured for a small price is the ravine, gulch or hollow north of the University. The land that is suitable for our purpose is the place that the University has always used for a campus. The place where our ball games have been won and our day contests, ever since the University was established. The ravine of course costs less than the land on Massachusetts street, but between the two there is absolutely no comparison. It would require an expenditure of several thousand dollars to put the ravine in any kind of shape and an annual expenditure of several hundred dollars to keep it in condition to be used.
The land on Massachusetts street is in close proximity to the business portion of the town, to the University and to the rooms of the students. It is by nature suited for an athletic field, no grading or draining is necessary. The ravine is away from everywhere and everybody. It would cost more to put it in condition and keep it in condition than the other land would cost. The board should adopt no pennywise policy. They should consider that the action they are taking is for all time and should not be led by the cheapness of one piece of land to select it in preference to a tract every way suitable for athletic purposes and favored by a large majority of the students.
One of the business managers of the COURIER dropped into the millinery parlors of Orme & Engle the other day, and what was his surprise to find this enterprising firm busy unpacking a full line of spring bonnets and hats. Easter comes earlier this year and Mrs. Orme & Engle will be prepared to show the finest line of millinery goods in the city next Thursday and Friday. The ladies of this firm have just returned from the east and their goods are all new and in the latest style.
