Bear to-night 'the noblest
Bear to-night "'the noblest Roman of them all."
HIGHLAND will petition to enter the O. A. of K. at this meeting of delegates.
Nye and——no, not Riley but a better man with Nye will be here the 17th, so says the telegram.
Baldwin bought 240 tickets and wanted more. They will see K. S. U. in her glory, with Bear as conqueror.
THE rush commenced last Tuesday noon. When the sale of seats was begun for the oratorical contest, over fifty people were in line
THE faculty at Baldwin are making the souls of the students weary with "orders" and "decrees." Every one that comes to Lawrence to hear Bear must go through a solemn ordeal in which he swears not to attend the dance, not to play billiards, nor to get into fights with K. S. U. students
The mutterings of discontent among the Washburn students are still heard rumbling. Take our advice Lower the red flag. Shake the dust of the college from your pedal extremities and come ye to K S U, where there are not such dread and dire edicts promulgated by the faculty.
THE students of K.S.U. extend through the columns of the COURIFR a hearty welcome to all visiting students. We are glad to have you with us and in the fellowship of kindred aims we grasp your hands and welcome you to the "Boston of Kansas"
THERE is some dissatisfaction expressed on account of the manner in which the sale of seats for the contest was conducted. The growlers however are only those who were negligent in the matter and have no one to blame but themselves.
The Associations.
The assembly of the different Y. M. and Y. W. C. A's represented in the contest will meet at 4 o clock this afternoon, at the First Presbyterian chruch. Every thing points to a grand meeting and the students are given a cordial invitation to attend.
After the contest the Associations of K. S. U. will hold a reception for all those who do not care to attend the Ball. The University will be open from top to bottom and the visiting students will be given the full freedom of the same.
This reception will be another means of pleasant entertainment and the Associations are to be congratulated for proposing so clever a plan.
The Freshman class in elocution has 65 members. Are we all going to be orators?
Mr. Geo, R. Shane the genial photographer kindly places his elegant waiting rooms at 615 Mass. St. at the disposal of the students. He has a fine library, a fine gallery of pictures and an elegant piano in his superbly furnished parlors'. And if you are to meet a friend down town or have a few moments to spare step in and be sure of a kindly welcome. All visiting students will please regard 615 Mass. St. as general headquarters.
The State Y. M. C. A. convention will meet here to-day,
A LITTLE FAITH.
Extract From the Memoirs of the
Compte de la Bakeriano.
A Sojourn in the Land of the Baldwigians, a State in the Kingdom of Lilliput.
"During the time that I remained in this most estimable country, I left no opportunity unimproved to acquaint myself with the manners, customs and institutions of so strange a people. With my guide and interpreter, I visited, on a fine spring day, their college, a most notable structure, and, as I was informed by my guide, the most renowned in all the world. I must confess that I was surprised to see the discipline and order that prevailed in this musty old building. My surprise at this was not of long duration, for when, after two sharp, shrill whistles, not unlike our police calls, rang out, the massive doors which closed upon the sacred precincts of the chamber of consultation of the faculty, opened, and there stalked forth, in all the majesty and dignity that was allowed by reason of carrying an immense placard, a learned man, with wig awry and closely followed by his compatriots and admirers. This placard he proceeded to hang over the door which led out upon the street. Then those reminiscences of a by-gone age ranged themselves in two lines on either side. Upon another whistle being heard, they slowly raised their hands and with warning glances pointed to the placard above the door, while they uttered in sepulchral tones to each student, as through the lines he passed the word "Epping" which my guide told me meant "obey." With melancholy mien each student as he passed, placed his hand upon his breast and said "Hellhades." which I was told meant the same as our "amen."
The last student having left the building, the learned men returned to their first position with a salute, then after a low obeisance, they spoke and said "Tis well, they shall obey," then fell in line and in solemn march departed.
I was much astonished, and plied my guide with questions to which he answered me that it was the custom of the students of the Baldwiginses to hold a trial of strength of voice with the Laurientienses once per year. That the strongest voice from each college was chosen to compete and that this year it would take place in the city of Laurientien, and as much enthusiasm was exhibited by the students of both colleges, the august body had seen fit to add a a few more stringent rules to their already large curriculum. I secured a translation of the placard from my guide, and I treasure it as a flt specimen of the style of government in the land Baldwigienses.
DECREE FACULTATE, NO. 11401.
In view of the fact that the yearly trial of skill in the strength of voice now approacheth, and that as many students will accompany the competitor to that wicked and pernicious city, Laurientien, where there are deceptions of all kinds. Be it decreed, therefore:
1. That no student shall attend any of the numerous dances there under pain of expulsion.
II. That no student shall enter any ten-pin alley, shooting gallery, billiard hall or place where soda water is sold, under penalty of ten days on bread and water and the displeasure of the faculty
III. That no shouting or expression of enthusiasm shall occur during their stay in that city, but the students shall conduct themselves as is becoming to good and righteous students in that home of the unfaithful,
IV. That those who wish to accompany the competitor must subscribe to these rules, and in token of his obedience, kiss the sacred toe nail of his holiness, the Chief Magister,
DEGREE FACULTATE NO.
Having the great responsibility of caring for the youth and maidens of the land, and that their thoughtlessness in many cases has caused us to hear taunts, declaring that many of our rules are not enforced, we do hereby bring up the rule made in the year 14 and revive it. Be it decreed therefore,
I That no student shall call upon any young lady in her room, but that if any student wishes to speak to any maiden he must first signify his intent to the faculty and secure their permission. A professor will be appointed to accompany him and see that no words of love are spoken.
Those rules, I was informed by my guide, were to be stringently enforced as it was the custom of the people to judge of the standing of the college by the number of rules and the severity of their enforcement."
There are many interesting facts in the Comte's memoirs which we may give some future time.

A. J.Kanavel of Winfielde college was in town last Wednesday. He says the college is anxious to enter the Oratorical Association. The college has about 150 collegiate students not counting the Business College and Normal Department. The students he describes as bright wide-awake fellows and if they are like Mr. Kanavel we are sure they are.

The second meeting or the new literary society was just as earnest and enthusiastic as the first. Though the night was threatening the meeting showed an increased attendance.
Mr. Barnes was prompt in sounding the gavel and the business of permanent organization was at once begun.
In the absence of Mr. Clarence Sears,Mr Roberts reported in behalf of the Committee on name, motto, colors and plan of work. He said that the Committee had not as yet fully determined upon motto, colors and plan of work but had upon a name. They unanimously reported to name the new society "The Kansas Literary Club." After a little debate the society adopted the new name—and a better one we believe, could not have been chosen. The new christening shows well the high purpose and stirring plans of the new organization.
Mr. Whitman then reported for the Committee on Constitution.
The work of discussing and adopting it was unusually animated and the lights were turned out long before the last article of the important instrument was reached.
The section which provided for the exclusion of the ladies met with the strongest discussion. Roberts fought manfully for its adoption but his petted plan met with fell disaster. Just as the COURIER had predicted the measure was uncompromisingly "sit on." And we want to add that the new position of the club could not have been more graceful. Whether the young ladies desire to join the new club or not they will be pleased to know that they can if they want to—and that's a pleasant idea to most Americans.
