Oratorical Contest.
Mr. John Sullivan, a graduate of the Law Department, and now a prominent lawyer of Kansas City, visited the Law recitations Monday morning. At the request of Prof. Green he made some very interesting remarks to the students, which were highly appreciated. He says "that in Kansas City one comes in contact with graduates of all the eastern law schools, as well as of K. S. U., and that it is very gratifying to see that the graduates of K. S. U. work right along shoulder to shoulder with them, showing that the instruction received here is in every respect equal to that of the older Law schools of the United States." Mr. Sullivan takes a very great interest in the K. S. U. Law Department, and is doing some good work in its behalf.
Mr. Dowling, of Abilene, Kansas has recently entered the Senior class.
The Eighth Local Oratorical contest will be held in University chapel this evening. The excitement over the outcome is intense, and there will be the largest crowd to-night ever in attendance at a local contest. The orators are all of them strong men and it would be a mere guess as to who will win, suffice it to say that the winner will undoubtedly be the best orator ever sent from K. S. U. to a state contest.

The Secret of Success.
If you wish to succeed in business you must adopt a line and stick to it. There are thousands of persons throughout the country who act as mere machines for others to direct and guide; if they are not employed by some person who is in business, they can find nothing to do. We hear repeated so often this: "I can find nothing to do; nobody wants me." This is not true; there is something wanted by everybody, but if you are a mere machine, merely respond to other's directions; often you will find no one to direct you. If you have not employment take up the agency for something that you consider is a good and legitimate business, some work for which you know there will be a demand and pursue it.
Frank C. Clark,almost a stranger in our city, last January opened a a small copying office at the Electrical Supply Co.'s office and for several months was apparently going backwards, and by many he was pronounced a failure, but he stuck to the business and used every means possible to extend it,a few months later as his business enlarged he moved his office to the next door west, where he could have more room and do more effectual work. After following this for several months he leased a room in the new German-American bank building bought out the agency of the new Smith Premier type writer. He spared neither pains nor expense to furnish the public with an absolutely perfect type-writing machine.
The above taken from the St. Joseph Herald concerns a former University student, and is only a small part of the article concerning Mr. Clark and his pluck and success in business, veritably nothing succeeds like success and none succeed better than University students.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Alumni of Michigan University, at Topeka, about thirty in number, have extended an invitation to the Western Alumni of that institution to hold the annual banquet at Topeka instead of at Kansas City, where it has been held for the last three years. The banquet will be held in May but the place has not been located yet.
BLIND TOM'S PIANO RECITALS.
The piano recitals of Blind Tom, now playing an engagement at the Madison Street Theatre, are proving very entertaining to their patrons. Tom's program is a diversified one, and pleases his audiences. Prof. T. J. Bronson, of Chicago, was invited to the stage last night and played quite an intricate selection of his own composition. Tom's imitation of this was a remarkable one.-Chicago. (Ill.) Daily Inter-Ocean, Oct. 14, 1889.

Born, March 1, 1860—Died, Jan.15,1891.
NELLIE THACHER HENRY.
Nellie Green Thacher, youngest daughter of Judge Solon O. Thacher, was born in Lawrence, and spent the greater part of her life here. She entered the Preparatory Department of the State University in 1873 and graduated in 1881. She was so fortunately situated as not to be compelled to hurry, and following her tastes took in addition to other required studies all the Latin, Greek, German and French then in the course. Good in all studies, in these she was gifted. In Latin her translations of Horace were neat and appreciative. Several of them were printed in the University papers of those years, and one of the best is in the "Sunflowers" volume of K. S. U. poetry—a poem which reads at this time with peculiar pathos. In French she acquired unusual mastery of the spoken idiom, so that in later years during her visits to Europe, she found herself quite at ease in France.
In 1885-86, during the absence of Prof. Carruth, she occupied the chair of German, and made many friends among the present generation of students, by her grace, kindness and ability.
Among her class-mates were Mrs G E Little, Mrs Prof Wilecox, Miss Woodward, Mrs W H Sears, C F Scott, Scott Hopkins, P L Sopor. B S Hutchins and Stuart O Henry. Everywhere she was a favorite. The intimacy with Mr. Henry ripened into love which was consummated by their marriage in 1889.
Death has been lenient toward our graduates, but he has taken this time one whose loss will be felt widely and long, and whose absence makes a gap in the ranks of the Alumni, toward which year after year many an eye will turn with tears and longing affection. The Courier voices the general sympathy of the University to the husband, parents and sister.
At the funeral on the 17th, exChancellor Marvin assisted in the services, and the pall-bearers were: Professors J. H. Canfield, Robinson, Miller, Marvin, A. G. Canfield and Carruth.
