THE COURIER, following its usual custom presents its readers with the regular mid-summer edition. Though you are scattered in various places throughout the State and are hard to find, yet the COURIER will reach you and give you glad tidings and all the news about your student friends. The majority of them are engaged in usual occupations, merely to recruit you know, others are following the long dusty lanes bearing burdens of books and acquiring a certain "gift of gab" that makes them forget Demosthers and Cicero in wondering at their own unparalleled persuasive powers; some few have paying positions with good firms and will hardly be with us more, a few have studied more, or say that they have, and some, happy ones, have spent and are spending their vacation among the "Rockies." Wherever you may be the COURIER sends you greeting and a hand-shake, and wishes to see you with us next September.
THE last legislature abolished all tuition in all departments of the University to all Kansas students. The great state of Kansas not only maintains a most excellent system of elementary public schools, but it provides a University for its young people equal if not better than any other in the west, and in many respects fully up to the best schools of the east. And thisUniversity is as absolutely free to the Kansas students as are the district schools. This fact should be borne in mind, and old students should impress their friends with the fact that it does not cost fifty or a hundred dollars a year in tuition at the Kansas State University. Yet it is surprising how many people in speaking of the University will ask the amount of tuition required. Let it be known that the University is a part of the public school system, maintained by the State for Kansas students, and people will cease to send their sons and daughters to eastern schools. With a large attendance of earnest, enthusiastic students, we will be enabled to build up a University here which will be a credit to the State and a pride to each one of us. Let there be no ignorance concerning the University abroad in Kansas. Let every student work for K. S. U.
A RECENT issue of Harper's Weekly in speaking of the founding of the new University of Topeka, has the following to say of education in Kansas: "Apart from its material progress, which has well nigh passed into a proverb, the State of Kansas has become noted among its western neighbors for the wisdom and liberality with which it has provided for the education of the young."
Tuition to Kansas students in the School of Law is free Candidates for admission to the School of Law will be examined inEnglish language. (orthography, grammar and composition,) and in American and general history. This examination will be held at the University on Wednesday, September 17, 1890. Graduates of Colleges or Universities, State Normal Schools, High Schools, and persons presenting first or second grade, certificates are admitted without examination. Special catalogue of the School of Law will be sent on application to the Chancellor of the University.
A SUPPLEMENTAL catalogue for the year '89-90 has been issued by the University. This catalogue omits the roll of students, but gives all the new additions to the Faculty and changes in the courses and in regard to admission. The two new courses were established after consultation between the Faculty and the High School Superintendents of the State. These new courses embody some valuable additions to the University work, and will bring the University in the reach of many who have not heretofore been able to pursue the prescribed courses in our State University. Full information in regard to new courses admission, etc., will be found in another column, or write to the Chancellor for a catalogue.
SPECIAL students are admitted to the University under rules and regulations made by the Faculty, and this enables many not candidates for a degree to take advantage of the University facilities in special lines of study. Students desiring ultimately to study Law, Pharmacy, or any other specialty often find it to their advantage to take a year or more of general work before entering on their special line. This the University enables them to do under certain restrictions.
IT is not the desire nor intention of the University to discourage attendance from other States than Kansas, but from non-resident students a small tuition fee is required, much less though that that demanded by most other schools. Ten states and three territories were represented last year.
Tuition in the School of Music as far as recognized in the University, is free to Kansas students. Prof. Geo, B. Penny, formerly of the State Normal School at Emporia, has been elected Dean of the School of Music, and he is already hard at work in advancing the interests of his department. Special catalogue of the School of Music will be sent on application to the Chancellor of the University.
Special courses in Natural History, Applied Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Preparatory Medical are offered by the University.
THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION of the K. S. U. has added an impetus to the University athletics that has not failed to excite the admiration of those interested in athletic matters. The ball was started rolling by the students of the University and though hard to start it yielded to their presistent efforts and an athletic fund was subscribed by the students and their friends. To those who believe that mental work requires a like amount of physical exercise in order that the body may be kept in a perfectly healthy condition, we would say here is an opportunity to follow out your ideas on this subject and also win the grateful regard of each and every student and professor of the University.
To Gen, McCook in this issue as well as in our last we extend the hearty thanks of all upon the "Hill" for his liberal offer
Tuition to Kansas students in the School of Pharmacy is free. Graduates oi recognized High Schools of the state are admitted without examination. Other candidates are admitted upon examination in arithmetic, (including the metric system,) history of the United States, geography, (descriptive and physical,) English grammar and composition, and Constitution of the United States. The student in this school has access to five distinct and well arranged laboratories. Special catalogue of the School of Pharmacy will be sent on application to the Chancellor of the University
A pamphlet of 70 pages containing the three most noted addresses of last commencement is being sent out by the University. The three are the introductory address by Regent Gleed at the inauguration of Chancellor Snow; the response of Prof. Snow, and the "Relations between the University and Material Progress," being the oration before the literary societies by Col. Jno. J. McCook, of New York. Every one interested in the University should read these addresses, and they may be obtained by addressing the Chancellor
Prof. Sayre's new book, the "Essentials of Pharmacy," is now in the hands of the printer. This is one of a well known series of science compends, published by Wm. Saunders, Philadelphia.
Prof. Robinson is writing a Latin text book, especially adapted for the use of Pharmacy students. It will be out this fall.
Prof. Blackmar will occupy room five, and Prof. Templin eleven, hereafter.
A BUSINESS EDUCATION
Prof. Snow and family, Prof. and Mrs. Carruth and little daughter Will Simpson and wife, and Miss Arial Long are University people at Bailey's, Colo in the South Platte Canyon.
The following University boys went to Estes Park, Colo. this summer: Plumb, Funston, V. L. and F. H. Kellogg, Hadley, Robinson and a few others. V. L. Kellogg and Funston returned several weeks since.
A. L. Gettys goes to the University of Michigan to complete his law course
It is acknowledged by all that in this day of commercial activity a business education is one of the essentials to success. If you wait to learn by experience, you will find the ground occupied ahead of you. In business you must compete. Lawrence is justly proud of her institutions of learning. The term "Athens of the west," is not inaptly applied. Among these institutions none ranks higher in its own field than the Lawrence Business College. Established in 1869, it has made for itself a reputation possessed by no other school of its kind in the west. The University and the Business College are antagonistic in no sense, each occupies its own field. The University is not a Business College, nor is the Business College a University. The Lawrence Business College gives an education in things necessary to the successful following of commercial pursuits—this is what it claims—this it does.
To a great many students the matter of expense is of the first consideration in undertaking a University education. We would say that the average cost here is much below that of eastern schools, and on account of the free tuition the cost is less than at other schools in the state. The University maintains no dormitories nor boarding halls, but there are ample accommodations in the way of boarding houses, restaurants and students boarding clubs. Many students room in private families and board in clubs or at the restaurants down town.
The boarding clubs are organized for the purpose of obtaining good board at more reasonable rates than otherwise obtainable. They usually employ some good cook, and in this way board may be obtained at from $2.00 to $2.50 per week. There being a number of these clubs organized each year, it is never difficult for a new student to get into some one of them. On the whole the cost of living in Lawrence is as cheap as anywhere else. And surely it would be difficult to find a more agreeable place to be in school; good society, plenty of churches, enough diversion, the utmost harmony prevailing between the citizens and the University.
Any information regarding rooms, boarding, etc., can be obtained from the Chancellor either by mail or by applying in person at the opening of school.
Young women will find no difficulty in obtaining satisfactory board and lodging near the University. The Chancellor of the University already has a list of persons desiring to take young lady boarders.
All students desiring good board and rooms, should call on or address Mrs M. A. Barnes, Barnes House, 1013 New Hampshire street. This will be students headquarters the coming year. Rates reasonable. Close to city and University.
For the Fall of 1890 A. G.Menger will have a Large Stock
