PROF. SNOW'S INAUGURATION
ROCK CHALK JAY HAWK—K—U—
CHANCELLOR SNOW.
The University now has a Chancellor. It is now Chancellor Snow in the full sense of the word The public inauguration of Prof. Snow took place in the University hall Wednesday morning,
As the assembly gathered into the hall to witness this occasion an ejaculation of admiration invariably burst from each one as he entered the door, at the beautifully decorated rostrum.
The decorations were better designed and more beautiful than any ever before placed upon the University platform. Superintendent Crocker and John Sterret assisted by Mrs. Brooks, the florist, deserve the credit of its success.
At the front of the rostrum reaching almost its entire length was a deep row of roses, of all colors, beautifully arranged over the center and front of the rostrum was erected an arch made on each side of three pillars 14 feet high, connected near the top by double arch. Between the arches at the center in beautiful snow white roses appeared the single word "snow." Just above it on the upper arch was placed in evergreen leaves the date 1890. The whole structure was profusely decorated.
Vases of Mrs. Brook's most fragrant flowers were placed here and there about the front of the platform and gave a delightful odor to the white chapel. Three large flags drooping upon the wall at the back of the rostrum added materially to the scene.
The sight was such that, understanding the circumstances, made the heart of every student well up with pride and enthusiasm. At 10:30 o'clock the board of regents and Prof. Snow, accompanied by Governor Humphrey and other state officers, with Dr. Cordley, marched upon the platform, After enthusiastic cheeing by the audience and prayer by Dr. Cordley Regent Gleed spoke on behalf of the regents. His speech was splendid. Mr. Gleed was frequently applauded and caused merriment whenever he chose.
Uncancellor Snow then spoke. His speech was one of the finest written history of the University. He recounted the struggles of the University; told of its evolution from its founding as a high school to its present standing, and outlined what his policy would be.
Chucellor Snow was applauded long and enthusiastically.
Governor Humphrey was then introduced and made a few remarks. His words were earnest and instructive. He thought that those who had put a provision for an institution of this kind in the constitution, drawn up as it was in a time of blood deserved a monument, and indeed they have a moment in these buildings upon Mt. Oread. It was a bright thought from the dusk of the coming war.
He was in full sympathy with the University and did not think that the education given to the father was good enough for the son or daughter.
He said he could only judge the work of the University by the kind of citizens it sent out. He had met them in his official duty and had not found them wanting. He felt the power of the University in the state, and knew that it was rapidly increasing each year. Gov. Humphrey raised a laugh by stating that he had made his peace with the Alumni by appointing a goodly number to important positions. One thing he had noticed was that every time he met one of the Alumni, a good word was put in for K. S. U. Enthusiasm seemed to be catching on Mt. Oread. Mr. Humphrey noticed just here that it was after twelve o'clock and stating that he would not detain the audience longer from the place of their thoughts, closed, giving his best personal and official wishes to the University.
Prof Snow's response to the inauguration is published in full in Wednesday's Journal-Tribune. As we lack space we are obliged to crowd it out of this issue.
Law Alumni Association.
The Law School Alumni made a good start in permanent organization Tuesday. The meeting was held in Sigma Nu hall at 3 o'clock with large attendance. John Sullivan of Kansas City was chosen temporary chairman, R, S. Horton of Lawrence secretary. A constitution and by-laws was adopted and all present enrolled as members of the "Kansas State University Law School Alumni Association." Poehler was chosen president, Bruno Hobs vice-president, R. S. Horton secretary; Messrs, Harrington, Sullivan and Palmer members of the executive committee.
The executive committee was instructed to compile an alumni catalogue and have it printed and distributed A committee was appointed to look after the wants of the school before the board of regents.
Speeches were made by Bradley, Gilmore, Blair, Hobbs, Sears, Harrington, Palmer, Mitchell, Jacobs, Fidler and others, closing with an address by Dean J. W. Green which was cheered to the echo.
Commencement Day.
A unanimous vote of thanks was extended the Sigma Nu fraternity for use of hall.
The reunion of the class of '81 was held at the residence of Mrs. Alice (Peabody) Sears, Wednesday afteruoon. An elegant lunch was spread. Letters from absent ones were read, etc.
A Short Account of the Speech
of Each, Orator.
The day was propitious and an especially large crowd had assembled in the University chapel on Thursday June, 12, at 10 o'clock A. M. to listen to the honored ones of the class of '90.
After the invocation and music by Bells band, the orators of the class of '90 delivered their orations.
Mr. Mushrush in his oration on "The Ethics of Epicurus," said:—"A national philosophy is the reflected image of a nation's thought Disregard it and the full meaning of the historic page will be lost. The different systems of philosophy in the past have been an expression of a certain stage of civilization. In each there has been something to commend. But of all these systems none has been so misunderstood as has Epicureanism. It has been condemded as sensual and brutish, its philosophy as degrading to the individual and dangerous to society. Christianity and barbarism with misdirected zeal united in opposing the Epicurean protest against superstition and in favor of freedom of thought. For, while Epicurus held pleasure to be the supreme good, he made it that pleasure, high above all others, which produces happiness and contentment of the noblest faculty of man, that life is happiest which enjoys most and suffers most, that life is best which has been in accordance with reason and judgment; a life in which intelligent bodily pleasures have aided in securing the more lasting and more exalted pleasures of the soul. Freedom of thought and action, unfettered by superstition, was demanded. And it is to this freedom that our marvelous advance in civilization has been due. Let this freedom be but the harbinger of that nobler freedom of the soul, where man's existence may be rounded ont by a life crowned with happiness and a mind filled with contentment. And with the revolving cycles of time may we not see the perfected ideal of Epicureanism."
- * * "The elements
So mixed in him that Nature might stand up
with them."
Mr. Mushrush has han an extended experience on the rostrum and is perfectly at his case. His style is somewhat of the florid and rotund style of delivery but he was entirely in earnest and held the undivided attention of his large audience.
Mr. Pickering in his oration treated upon some phases of the railway problem began with a short historical sketch of the locomotive and of the railroad, traced them through the various stages of their development and compared the monopoly of the railroad with other monopolies. The effects of legislation upon the railroad problem were touched upon and it was shown that laws which would apply to other monopolis would not apply to the railroad. The bad results of the competition of railroads were illustrated and the tendency of separate roads to combine into great systems was shown. The Government control of the railroads was discussed and the conclusion drawn that the Government ownership of the railroads
was not for the best interests of the country.
Miss Goodell took for the subject of her commencement oration, "The Intellectual Development of Women" and treated it in an elaborate manner though not in an entirely new phase. In these days when the woman is becoming more than ever the equal of man and the finger of progress points forward to the entire extinction of many of the sex distinctions it is pleasant to meet with one, who instead of looking wholly upon the dark side of womans life, gazes upon the bright side and glimpse into the future and reveals to woman a far wider field than that which they have yet reached. Miss Goodell does not side with some of the rank raging woman sufferance fanatics who affirm that it is because of man that they are held in check and not allowed full scope to their abilities. On the contrary she believes that the march from the depths of barbarism superstition has been continually going forward and that it has at no time previous has it made such strides as at present. The intellectual development of woman is a means and a measure of the intellectual development of her co-worker, man, and of all mankind.
Miss Goodell showed that each and every woman who graduated from a college could and should be a factor in this great onward march of all mankind to a higher plane of intellectual culture.
Miss Howland had for the subject of her oration, "What should be the highest purpose in Fiction?" Miss Howland showed quite a remarkable depth of thought in her handling of the subject, and quite justly scored the so-called realistic novelists of the period. She said that the recent novelists like Howells, Zola and Balzac, in France, and scores of the minor authors of this country and of England, have departed quite widely from the school to which Scott, Thackery, Dickens and Hawthorne belong, who view from an entirely different standpoint than these later-day novelists who with pessimistic croakings bring up to view the whole category of crimes and vices.
Miss Howland is not in sympathy with the authors who detect a selfish motive for every human action. She says: "Let us ask the first person we meet, of whatever station of life, whether he finds more sorrow than pleasure in the world, and whether he would wish to be entirely released from this painful necessity of living. Can we not be almost certain of his answer? The men whom we met yesterday did not seem like those going to commit bloody deeds, was the woman like those bent on some malicious intrigue. Is it then fair and just to mankind, for the author who parades his conscientiousness, and professes to describe things as they are, to compel us to live among thieves and in prisons; to make so conspicuous the ignoble side of human life, and insist that we are truly represented by hypocris and outlaws of the race?"
In comparison to theseboding evil birds of prophecy she brought up George Sand as an instance of one who presents to our view an
ideal, a goal to be reached, who gives us a sight of what we may become. In closing, Miss Howland said: "That is the noblest literature, which, while it recognizes this infirmities and wickedness of men, does not dwell upon them to the exclusion of those common virtues which beautify and dignify life.
The orations of the four favored ones were masterly efforts and each treated their subject in an exhaustive style.
