THE Music Club is one of the most interesting and enthusiastic organizations in the University. Its meetings, held every two weeks are the most pleasant events possible.
The members of the club are admirable entertainers:-their programs never fail to gratify the most critical or the most cynical. So those who are fortunate enough to receive invitations to these musicales are usually selfish enough to attend.
Last Wednesday's program was strictly up to the standard,—each performer acquitted him or herself with remarkable success. Through a personal misunderstanding over a multiplicity of dates and engagements we unfortunately failed to hear all of the recital. We must call this failure a most unpleasant mishap—likewise, a characteristic display of reportorial stupidity.
The most striking recital on the program—and the only one it was our fortune to hear—was an eight hand overture by Misses Lichtenwalter, Weller, Wynne and Mr. Krehbiel. The beautiful selection, an overture by Herold to Zampa, was rendered with a masterly touch and expression. The performance showed at once the technical skill and artistic culture of the reciters. The performers merited the praise and aplause their effort called forth.
We are glad the University has Music Club.
GROVER Cleveland and Chas. A. Dana are saying all manner of nasty things about each other. If somebody isn't careful, Tom Dick and Harry will find a valid excuse for pulling hair and scratching faces. It does seem as though two of America's brightest men were rapidly becoming two of America's biggest fools.
The laying of the corner stone last Friday was but adding to the foundation that supports American life, liberty and institutions. Its laying was but a proof that the American people love that life and liberty. Our public schools are the corner stones in the temple of American liberty—their strength and worth the only hope of our nation.
WHAT ceremony is more impressive—what event is freighted with more food for serious thought than the dedication of an institution to learning? What event, we say, is more indicative of American spirit, civilization and government? It seems to us that in such an act our nation proclaims the source of its existence and its right to future ages.
Our Exchange Table.
THE Washburn Reporter has, also, become a victim of the mighty wave of enterprise that is sweeping through the college journalism of the State. With a push, courage and energy that is distinctly meritorious, the Reporter has lengthened its case, increased its columns and re-modeled its make-up:—it stands among the leading weeklies of the college world. With hearty congratulations, the COURIER bids it perpetual success.
THE last issue of the Business Woman's Journal, a publication of exceptional merit, contains an interesting article by Florence Finch Kelley. Mrs. Kelley's works of whatever nature are read with great relish.
Oh, for a magician who can break the charm of "Washburn luck."—University Review
Call it "luck" if you want to. We call it hard work and determined effort. Work, is the magician whom you must invoke.— Washburn Argo.
Sensible enough!
THE Ottawa Campus doesn't think that the Kansas State Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association will amount to much this year; at least, its hopes in a Base Ball League are decidedly shaky. It doesn't propose to wait upon an organization that shows no further signs of life than that it bears an unspeakably long name. But instead the Campus champions the organization of local teams and optional contests between clubs of whatever nativity. Yours is a very sensible suggestion, Mr. Campus, and we recommited it to the consideration of our own U.
THE last issue of the Washburn Argo makes a decided improvement in its typographical make up.
Like the Ottawa Campus the Argo is a way down in the dumps about the State Athletic Association It even doubts the practicability of such an organization and rests its weary weight of uncertainity upon five mighty reasons. In this we are afraid, Mr. Argo, that you are slipping from your usual sensible position on college affairs: We would like to see such backsliding cease. We would like to see you take your post and stand firmly for the advancement of college sports and physical education.
We are with you and the Ottawa Campus in the opinion that the State Athletic Association, owing to imperfect organization, will not bear much fruit this year; but we cannot accept your favored doubt that such an organization
would be hurtful and impracticable. We are firm in our belief that by it our colleges throughout the State will be immeasurably helped; and for every one of your arguments against, we have an equal and added number for inter-collegiate athletics. The COURIER is with those who hope for a strong and enthusiastic State Athletic Association.
It is generally reported that the Athletic Association will give an entertainment at the Opera House to-night. Because uninformed, the COURJER will not stand responsible for the character of the performance. But as a friend of the University and all its interests, we urge every student to attend. Seventy five cents isn't much and an amateur show is not the worst thing in the world:—there never was a cause in which there were no martyrs.

Some Say
That the Base Ball team is preparing to make a dark and deserate record this year. How encouraging!
That there are entirely too many empty big heads in the U. What are you going to do about it?
That there is more bigotry and prejudice and selfishness and littleness in K. S. U. than in the Halls of Congress. Natural enough; the South and the U. are making rapid progress.
That the new chancellor is going to surprise you: that he will, in fact, "get there." We believe every word of it. Who ever heard of Snow being froze out.
Prof. J. H. Canfield lectured recently in Garnett.
The Athletic Committee will collect the contributions to the athletic fund next week. Each and every one is requested to be ready with the amount promised.

S. U. nine wishes to teast on crow they must learn to play as a unit and this can only be accomplished by team work.
A quartette, called so by its members only, has been rendering the air melodious and the lives of their young lady friends miserable for the past week by nocturnal warblings

The Laws are attempting to organize a double quartette.
The COURIER can be found on file in the National Museum at Wash. D. C. One of the marvels of the nineteenth century. See?
