The Seventh Biennial report of the State Historical Society shows the additions to the library of the society during the two years ending November 18, 1890. They number—bound volumes, 2,260; unbound volumes and pamphlets, 5,208; volumes of newspapers and periodicals, 2,153; single newspapers and newspaper cuttings containing special historical matter, 5,950; maps, atlases and charts, 99; manuscripts, 951; pictures and other works of art, 514; scrip, currency and coin, 43; war relics, 19; miscellaneous contributions, 525. From this statement it will be seen that the library additions proper, of books, pamphlets and periodicals during the two years number 9,621 volumes. Of these, 9,237 have been procured by gift and exchanges, and 384 by purchase. The total of the library at the present time is as follows, namely: 12,231 bound volumes, 35,561 unbound volumes and pamphlets, and 10,134 bound newspaper files and volumes of periodicals; in all, 57,926 volumes.
The library accessions have somewhat exceeded in number the average of former periods. The purchases of books have been chiefly confined to works more or less directly pertaining to Kansas. Gifts and exchanges have been largely the publications of the educational, scientific, social, charitable and economic departments of other states of the U. S. Government, and of the publications of the voluntary societies and institutions of this country and of foreign countries.
The report speaks of the newspaper collections of the society as being the most valuable part of its library of materials of Kansas history. Of the 10,134 bound newspaper files in the library, 7,472 are of Kanaas. The number of Kansas newspapers and periodicals now being published is 793. Of these, 33 are dailies, 1 is semi-weekly, 718 are weeklies, 36 are monthlies, 2 are semi-monthlies, 1 is bi-monthly and 2 are quarterlies. They come from all of the 106 counties of Kansas, and record the history of the people of all the communities and neighborhoods.
The Gymnasium.
The present attempt to fit out a small gymnasium is a very commendable one. It will prove one of the surest means of securing a permanent, well equipped gymnasium for the whole University. The association now has a comparatively small variety of gymnastic apparatus, but it will all prove sufficient for those who are farsighted enough to avail themselves of the opportunity to use it. Many good students think that only sports and athletes should spare the time from studies to devote to gymnastic training. No opinion could be more erroneous. As a matter of fact the athletes need bodily exercise least of all men. It is the hollow-chested, sunken-eyed devotee of learning who must be willing to give up a
little time each day to the care of his body if he hopes to have a long and useful intellectual life. Experienced educators everywhere admit the truthfulness of this statement.
The apparatus already secured will be put in position in the north dome of the main building in a few days. A glance at a partial list of machines will convince anyone that with proper, systematic usage an infinite amount of good may be secured to our students. Enough chest-weights have been secured to give one hundred students a day all the chest development they will need. Indian clubs in sufficient numbers have been provided, to supply all the rest who will require them. Chest-bars, an ankle-machine, a back and loin developer, an inclined ladder, a first class pair of parallel bars, a horizontal bar, dumb-bells, boxing gloves, etc., will be sufficient to engage as many as the small room will accommodate.
It is very much to be regretted that the room cannot be thrown open to all students to use at liberty, free of charge. Owing to unavoidable expense in securing and caring for the apparatus it will be necessary to charge a small fee. It would be worse than wastefulness to place the apparatus at the disposal of everybody, while it is impossible to oversee it and direct students in its use.
Such a gymnasium was opened in the present carpenter's shop, in the basement, ten years ago. Fairly good apparatus was supplied, but no oversight or limitation respecting its use was made: The result was reached in less than one month, in the form of skinned shins, sprained joints, ruined apparatus and general disgust. Two fractured Indian clubs, of unequal weight, and some wholesome experience are all that remain of that ill-directed attempt to serve the bodily interests of the students. The mistakes of ten years ago must be guarded against now If not, the cause of physical training will not be advanced but retarded. However, it is obvious that it is possible to avoid the former mistakes, and the management a present may be relied upon to do it
There was a good attendance at the meeting of the Philological club last Friday evening and an interesting and profitable program was carried out. Mr. E.F. Engle read a paper on the use of the German pronoun in Schiller's "Tell" after which Professor Carruth pointed out some inconsistencies in the use of the personal pronoun in both the German and English languages.
Philological Club.
Professor Wileox gave a very interesting and instructive talk on the life and work of the late Dr. Schlieman. The Professor's personal acquaintance with Dr. Schlieman, having met him at Athens, had the effect of bringing the audience much nearer his subject. He spoke of the great work done by Dr. Schlieman in the investigation of the old civilizations and in the

fields of Philology and Archieology.
Professor Hopkins read a paper on the obituary poet. He laid into ruins the castles which the ambitious poet who had reared for himself and for his comfort offered nothing but contempt.
A part of the program hereafter is to consist of reports of such contents as may be of interest in the leading Philological journals.
The next meeting will be held to night.
Prof. Blackmar's Lecture.
On Saturday evening Prof. Blackmar addressed the High School scholars and some of their older friends at the High School building on the "Silver Question."
The speaker very clearly explained the "cheap money theory," and showed that the debtor and laboring classes are the classes most injured by it.
The lecture was a striking illustration of the power of spoken words when replete with mind. There were no oratorical effects, no flashes of wit, no flights of imagination, no ridicule of impractical theorists, who buzz like flies about the financial question, but a closely welded statement and argument. Yet all, from the youngest school boy to the oldest man present listened with perfect attention and thanked the speaker for his work.—Newton Republican.
