Paul Hudson was down from Topeka to the Phi Psi annual. The Courier notes with pleasure Paul's success with senate reports.
Chancellor Snow lectured in Atchison last week. While there he met our "hoch seelig" friend, Mr. Fox. Jerry is pushing the quill in his father's office.
The appearance of Geo. R. Peck's announcements in the hall caused some timid persons to inquire who had the small-pox. White would be a better color to use than yellow.
At the meeting of last Friday the following were elected officers of the Science Club for the second term: President, Rob't Rutledge; secretary, F. C. Schraeder; treasurer, Will Snow.
Adelphic has decided to give a June program consisting of three orations, one essay, one declamation and a discussion in which two speakers only will take part. Music of course, interspersed.
Samuel Feller, a law student of last year and now county attorney of Ingalls county, Kan., was in Lawrence last Sunday visiting friends and acquaintances. Mr. Feller is a young man of promising abilities and the Courier predicts a bright future for him.
Why do we not have an eating room? Students who have to stay on the hill all day take their dinner with them and are compelled to eat it in the basement seated on a steam pipe or grind-stone. A clean room fitted up with a plain table and some chairs is all that is needed; to do this would cost nothing, and it would be fully appreciated by the student body.
Professor Fulton reports flattering success in his attempt to interest students of K. S. U. in elocution. A large class, twent-five or thirty, was organized among the law students and equal support to this much needed department is promised from the collegiate students.
Valentines, both sentimental and comic at Smith's News Depot.
Mac. Shields who was here in 88-89, is now attending Highland University and is editor-in-chief of the Nuncio.

When organizations are quietly working, something is being accomplished. The Glee Club is neither dead nor sleeping. Don't be the last one to find out what the club will have to offer a little later.
A card index of Chemical Literature including almost all periodicals and monographs on Chemistry has been prepared and is now in the library. These special indexes are of great assistance to those looking for subjects for theses.
The Pharmaceutical society held its meeting Friday night, in the science club room. After the election of officers for the remainder of the year, the society was favored by an interesting talk from Professor Slosson. His remarks were chiefly concerning the city of Paris and observations in general, taken while traveling in foreign countries. Mr. Slosson is undoubtedly one of the most interesting speakers out we have in the University, and the society feels very grateful to him.
Gymnasium.
This effort has been successful beyond expectation. Twenty-five persons may be accommodated in this room at one time, and by proper division of the available hours for practice 100 students may avail themselves of this privilege.
Prof.Sterling went to McPherson in the interest of the Athletic Association last Monday. His trip was highly successful, resulting in the purchase of the gymnasium outfit of McPherson. It was bought at less than fifty cents on the dollar and as the apparatus is almost new the purchase was a great bargain.
This apparatus will be placed in the second room in the top of the north dome, and will be ready for use by the latter part of next week.
Tonight the Science Club will give another of its popular entertainments. Professor Williston will exhibit for the first time his series of slides prepared from photographs of brain dissections by himself for use in his classes at Yale. The recent discoveries in the localization of the different motor and sensory centers of the brain are unknown to the general public and a large crowd is expected at the lecture tonight.

GEO. R. PECK'S ADDRESS.
'Puritanism in Old and New England" Reviewed by the Talented Lawyer.
A good house was present at the open session of the Historical and Political Seminary Tuesday evening in University hall. After a few explanatory remarks concerning the seminary and its methods Professor Canfield introduced Hon. Geo. R. Peck, of Topeka, who spoke on "Puritanism in Old and New England."
"There is no romance like history. The real happenings of the past have a deep interest for us. The true function of history is to show how human natue has manifested itself at different times. The renowned historians show a delightful picture, kings, queens, lords and the common people all go to make up the scene. The discussion tonight is of a sect called Puritans. They are now all dead, but they are yet the force that has given the direction of modern thought, religion and philosophy. They were a people rugged in thought, stern in aspect, and relentless in discipline. They spoke their sentiments and believed in them. They believed in God and His servants and they were His servants. They were men zealous in matters of conscience. They could not bear the yoke of authority.
"The origin of the Puritans can be traced back before the time of Wycliffe but the name was not applied to them till 1564, when it was given in derision by the bishops of the church of England. At first they had no intention of deserting the old order of things, but at length they began to feel that they were the true church. The rise of Puritanism in the latter part of the sixteenth century presents one of the most curious anomalies of history. It was the age of Elizabeth and apparently there was little religious feeling. Literature was predominant; it was a time of war intrigues. But amid all these scenes Puritanism quietly gained strength. A Puritan was always a politician. He had to be. Parliament soon became Puritan, but the Puritan still believed in the same divine right of kings. The death of Elizabeth marked an epoch in the history of the sect. James I. took his crown undisputed, but he was a pedant and a hypocrite. He determined to compel the Puritans to conform to the established church, but only drove them from the country."
The speaker then described the removal of congregations to Amsterdam, finally to America, where a government was formed by the peo-
ple. How they suffered and struggled. The terrors caused by the Indians and the final triumph over all.
"Those remaining in England had their work to do. Puritanism continued to grow. Quarrels between parliament and the monarch became more violent till at last blows followed. The parliamentary, army also Puritan, gained decisive victories over the royalist troops and at length England had a Puritan government. They purged England of the Stuart's. They were not bigots, even if they were disagreeable in some ways. The Puritan stamp has been left on art and literature. The Puritan spirit established the English and American constitutions.
Journalisu.
"The Puritan element is still strong among us, but it is not as marked as it once was. The blood of the Puritan is in the veins of this nation. The persistent element in all history is for something better. Puritanism was better than what existed before it, so it was taken up and carried to a great advance."—Daily Record.
The first lecture of the present term on Journalism was given by Prof. J. H. Canfield last Wednesday at 3 p.m. The special topic was the "make up" and the Professor or discussed it from the managing editor's standpoint, referring at length to the advantage to be gained from a proper order and attractive arrangement in the "make up" of a newspaper. He advocated the arranging of all matter under suitable heads and that the heads and subheads should be a true epitome of the matter contained in the columns. An alphabetical arrangement was best suited to the general public and anything that would serve to economize the reader's time should be adopted and followed as closely as possible. He proposed the classification of all matter under the following heads: news, editorial, exchanges, literary, miscellaneous, advertisements.
The Professor paid his respects in his own inimitable manner to "smart Aleckism"in newspaper work and cited several amusing incidents in his own experience. Many an otherwise able article or column of legitimate news was ruined by placing over it a ridiculous head.
The subjects assigned for themes in the advanced English class are of the most profound signification such as "Why Toads have no Tails" and "What I Know about Neckties."

Phi Kappa Psi.
The fifteenth anniversary of the establishment of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity in K. S. U. was celebrated Monday night. For fifteen years Kansas Alpha has been a strong and prosperous fraternity and each year a party has commemorated the founding. The fifteenth anniversary party was worthy of the occasion, and I. O. O. F. hall never looked more cheerful. Beautiful pictures adorned the walls, the red lamps produced a glaw of lustre, curtains were hung around the walls and rugs were strewn around in happy confusion. At 10 o'clock the guests seated themselves at the long banquet table, and proceeded to do ample justice to the elegant repast prepared by Wiedemann. After supper dancing was begun and continued until a late hour. Those present were:
Mr. and Mrs. Pierson, Misses Gibson of Topeka, Ferrel of Leavenworth, Ocheltree of Olathe, Misses Hadley, Russell, St. Clair, Tisdale, Morris, Price, Lyons, Grubb, Van Hoesen, Webster, Henshaw, Barker, Mason, Buckingham, Towne, Hand, Smith; W. P. Brown of Lervenworth, Wright of Kansas City, Hudson and Kellogg of Topeka, Messrs. Snow, Roberts, Caldwell, Dyer, Armstrong, Russell, Hadley, Robinson, Bonebrake, Brewster, Overton, Allen, Crawford, Spencer, Peabody, Sherman, Hollowell, Knowlton, Owen.

Is perhaps all your purse
Can stand.
