Prof. J. H. Canfield will leave for Chicago, Toronto and New England on Friday. The condition of his father's health compels him to be in Vermont during the holidays. On his way he will make preliminary arrangements for the great International Educational meeting in Toronto next July.—Record.
Captain Peairs attended the Y. M. C. A. vs Baker foot ball game at Kansas City last Saturday. He tried to arrange for another game between K. S. U. and Baker but they thought they had been so badly treated that an apology would have to be given them first by the K. S. U. However, when that luxury is given Baker, the temperature will be much lower than at the present writing. Baby!!
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DEC. 19, 1890.
John Sullivan was in the city over Sunday.
V. L. Kellogg was in Topeka Friday, on business.

J. B. Harris. a former student and now an attorney in Kansas City, Kan., was in the city last Saturday.
The accomodation which some people give has about as pleasing an effect on one as the outside of a peach to the tongue.
The Glee Club together with the Mandolin club had their pictures taken last week in their 'mortar boards.' They make a fine appearance.
The article of the man who represented Baker Beacon at the foot ball contest, was devoid of good English, good sense, courtesy, and truth.
Mr. George Dick is home on a vacation from the United Presbyterian Seminary at Alleghany, Pa. George is a member of the class of '89 and is one of the boys of which our university may feel proud.
A. W. Meyer is the gentleman's name who won the first place in oratory at Washburn Friday night. He is but 18 years old and a farmer boy. They say he is a good speaker. He perhaps will not "Naylor" banner to the mast head but will at least try it.
Indignation came to the mind of each student as he read the slanderous account of the foot ball game between K. S. U. and Baker, in the Beacon which was placed on the bulletin board. We respectfully suggest to those of our number who have determined to go as missionaries to foreign countries that there is a field near by "white to the harvest."
The condition of the walk, or rather the lack of walks on Mount Oread from the University to North College is a disgrace to any city. It is impossible to get from one building to the other on a muddy day without going down to Ohio street. The council should attend to the matter before disagreeable weather sets in.—Record. The Record states the case correctly and we hope it will continue to be heard from until the want is met. The lack of a walk between the two buildings is seriously felt.
The new catalogue is out.
The Regents held a session Tues day.
Miss Mamie Tisdale, one of our frequent visitors, was at the University Friday.
Roar! ! Roar! ! 94! 94! ! ! is what the Freshman yell—howl rather. They are 112 strong.

The subscription price of the COURIER is one dollar not fifty cents, as some people think to think
The Y.M.C.A. boys did not hold their regular Friday evening meeting on account of the Glee Club concert down town.
H. F. Roberts read a fine paper on the origin of the jury system at the politican seminary last Friday. Mr. Roberts shows much skill in preparing such papers.
Prof. Dyche has sent in some of his specimens which he obtained on this trip. Six very large boxes of skeletons and skins were received at Snow Hall Tuesday.
A party of thirty from the Linwood schools visited the University Saturday under the leadership of Mr. Beckey, their teacher. They seemed to enjoy their visit very much. Quite a number of schools have visited the University in a body of late. It is a good thing and we hope more will come.
The Douglas county Farmers' Institute in session last Saturday adopted a resolution favoring the appropriation by the legislature this winter of $2,500 to enable Prof. Snow to continue his experiments looking to the final extermination of the chinch bugs. This appropriation should be willingly granted as Prof. Snow has already been of inestimable benefit to the farmers of Kansas.
Ingratitude is a base sin and for which it is hard to believe there can be any excuse. Two weeks ago we told the public that the Record contained the best University news of any of the city papers and that Hall was an enterprising correspondent and we were very much pained to see the following in the Record after our last edition. "The Courier appears today and as usual contains no local matter on the first page. It may be hard on the purses but it is most favorable to the quality of the publication to have two University weeklies." Mr. Hall evidently credited our judgment of his ability and became a little bold. But we draw the line on his ability when he enters the field of criticism. He evidently doesn't know what local matter is. There wasn't anything else on our first page last week but local matter.

Lotus Glee Club, James Whitecomb Riley, Imperial mandolin, Banjo and Guitar Club and George Kennan. Course tickets have been sold for $2.50, making it the best and cheapest course possible to arrange for. The hearing of good lectures is regarded as one of the great means of education.
The ladies fraternity-rushing pledge expired on Dec. 12th. Up to the time of going to press the following ladies had accepted invitations from the different fraternities: From Kappa Alpha Theta; Misses Hand, Van Hoesen, Riggs and Churchill. From Kappa Kappa Gamma; Misses Neusom, Moore, Spencer and Rushmer. From Pi Beta Phi; Misses Stevens, Wheeler and Brewster. The young ladies will all be valuable acquisitions to the different fraternities and both they and the fraternities are to be congratulated.
No. 15,
Foot Ball.
We Roar! We Roar! 94!! 94!! is the cheer now. Last Wednesday '94 met '93 on the foot ball grounds and fought a bitter battle for the class supremacy. Prof. Sterling was referee and Prof. Carruth ampire. Hogg, captained the Freshman and Sherman the Sophomores. The first half was hard fought, but 94 forced the battle and at the end the score stood 12 to 0 in their favor. A fine tackle of Hogg by Springer, the steady work of the Freshmen; the ability of the Sophomores to kick and, a tremendous tackle by Withington were the features of this half.
The second half was half a repetition of the first, the score standing 6 to 0 in favor of '94, making the final score 18 to 0 in their favor. The feature of this half was the ability which the Sophomores showed in keeping the Freshmen from running up a big score. About ten minutes was also spent in getting a Freshman disqualified for slugging. '94 and '92 can now contest for the supremacy. Our prediction is that the result of a class league this fall where each class would have played each other class would have resulted this way: '94 first, '93 second, '92 and '91 bringing up the rear.
Juniors Versus Seniors.
The first foot ball game between the class elevens took place last Saturday on the grounds on South Massachusetts street. Both elevens were composed of heavy men and the game was a good one. The Juniors put the ball in play and in ten minutes scored the first touch down, and Knowlton kicked a goal The Seniors then braced up and the Juniors were unable to score again during the first half. During the second half, however, the Juniors played ball and scored four more touch downs and kicked three goals which made the score 28-0.
You may not travel much,
While attending the University.
A trip home at
Thanksgiving, or
Christmas, or
During the spring vacation, or
To Kansas City to hear Booth,
Is perhaps all your purse
Can stand.
But when you do go,
Remember that the
"Old Reliable" and
"Always on Time" line is
The Santa Fe.
It reaches more Kansas towns
Than all of its competitors
bunched.
Any time you feel in the
Migratory mood, call on
Geo. C. Bailey, ticket agent,
Santa Fe denot Lawrence.
