Full of Interesting Facts and Happy Recollections of K. S. U.
BY PROF. E. MILLER.
Twenty - three years ago the University of Kansas was ushered into existence. Very few trumpet blasts heralded the advent of the infant. Whether it had a Godfather at its christening, the "Annals of Kansas" has nothing to say. But the infant grew in stature, spread in shoulder breadth and increased in avoirdupois.
It is well to go back to the beginning of those twenty-three years, and follow step by step the progress made, and see by an inventory of deeds done, of accumulations along educational lines, and of young men and young women trained at the University to adorn, in the truest and best sense of the word, the great central state under whose broad shield the University lives, moves and has its being, whether it is realizing the expectation of its founders.
Four chancellors have already had a share in shaping the institution. The first of these was Rev R. W. Oliver, an Episcopal clergyman, who served one year. After him came John Frazer, LL.D., a layman, a graduate of the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, a highly educated, influential and able man. His term of office continued eight years. The next chancellor was the Rev. James Marvin, D.D., LL.D., who held the reigns of government eight years. The Rev Joshua A. Lippincott, D.D., LL.D., was the next man to occupy the chancellor's seat, which after a period of six years he resigned. Drs. Marvin and Lippincott are clergymen of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
For some reason or other the Board of Regents have introduced a new and peculiar feature into the management of the University for the present year. To use a railroad phrase, they have put at the head of the institution a "double header." or, to express it by mathematical terms — Vice-Chancellor Spangler + Prof. Snow = Chancellor. Under this arrangement, the University has so far been sailing on smooth waters.
Of the Professors longest connected with the institution, are Profs. Snow and Robinson, whose term of service dates from the beginning; Prof. Miller, from 1874; and Prof. Jas. H. Canfield, from 1877.
A few facts and figures are herewith given to show the course of things on Mt. Oread since the day of their inception.

As the University catalogue is now in the hands of the printer, the total number of students will be somewhat larger for the year 1889-'90, than the figures given above.
When the Normal Department was closed by legislative action in 1885, the Normal graduates numbered 78. The Law Department has graduated 63 students; the Department of Music,4;the Department of Pharmacy,32; and thr Collegiate Department,232. Total number of graduates from all departments,439.Many of the Sub-Freshman or Preparatory students would have been Freshmen this year,but for some irregularities in their preparation.
The men and women who have been educated at the University but did not graduate, and those who have received degrees here, are many of them filling high and responsible positions in other Universities and Colleges; some are already prominent railroad men; some are acquiring fame in the practice of law and medicine; some are clergymen: some are filling the positions of high school principals and teachers; some are bankers, and merchants; some are winning distinction in the field of literature; and others have been found worthy to occupy seats in the State Legislature.
To describe the buildings, the library, the museum, the laboratories, and the apparatus belonging to the various departments. would require volumes. That is too large a subject for this paper.

K. S. U. is to Have an Athletic Association, Worthy of Her Progress a d Push.
K. S. U, has progressed—progressed within the last week. She has moved up her lines and pulled her flag a little higher into the air. She looks better for it. She and Mt. Oread seem just a little bigger.
A movement begun by a few energetic students and taken up by the Faculty has culminated into a strong and thoroughly organized athletic association.
Friday, Dec. 14, 1889, was a red letter day in the annals of K. S.U. It marks in her history a new era, and much that is to add to her fame and fortune will date from this event.
The students turned out enmasse to the meeting for the consideration of organizing an athletic association in K. S. U. Every body was intensely enthusiastic and the meeting was thoroughly business-like throughout.
Mr. M. E. Hickey was made chairman and Prof. Carruth and Mr. Kellogg stated lucidly the purpose and aim of the meeting. No one wanted to talk about that and a committee was at once appointed to draft a constitution. Mr. Rus. Whitman was made chairman, and he reported with his usual promptness. The constitution was an exhaustive one, and its merits won its immediate approval.
The officers were then elected, and K. S. U. honors were never placed on better shoulders. Prof. Carruth was elected President, Kellogg, Secretary, and Charlie Voorhis Treasurer.
The constitution provides for the election of three directors at large, two from the Base Ball Club, two from the Tennis Club, and two from the Foot Ball Club. The election of directors resulted as follows: At large, Prof. Arthur Canfield, Prof Max Winkler and Rus. Whitman; Base Ball Club, M. E. Hiekey and Ed. Esterley; Foot Ball Club, Clarence Hall and Armstrong; Tennis Club, Miss Lockwood and A. F. Sherman,
The University prospect for athletic sports is at present exceedingly bright—brighter than it has been for "years and years," and every student who is worth the cost of the education given him, is having a happy time over it.
The Board of directors will meet before the holidays and decide upon some plan for future action.

We do a large mail order business, thereby giving the people all over the West the advantage of trading with us, the Largest and Lowest Price Retail Clothing House in this section of the land. Many of you have visited our Mammoth Establishment, especially our home folks, who recommened us to out-of-town people and strangers as a safe place to trade, where honest goods are kept at low prices that please everybody. Our superior facilities for handling large lots of merchandise enables us to sell better Clothing for less money than it costs most large houses. All who trade with us (and that's most everybody around here) readily see this difference. For instance, you'll have no trouble in finding anywhere Suits and Overcoats marked fifteen dollars, and you will say at once they are worth no more, but any Suit or Overcoat we show you at $15, we absolutely say, and you will see and say yourself that they are regular twenty-five dollar garments, and sell for that in any other store hut ours. Our ten dollar Suits and Overcoats are straight fifteen dollars anywhere else. This remarkable difference in price is just what makes us the largest Clothiers, Hatters and Furnishers in the West. We call attention to our Boys' and Children's Department, and especially to our Iron Clad, All Wool Knee Pants Suits at $3.50, and our Matchless Overcoats at $5.00.
On Monday we enter the second week of our tremendous December Sale that we have been months preparing for. Its a go from the start, and every department in our house is in the race to win for you a saving of dollars and cents on your purchases. There isn't a piece of merchandise in our house that ain't the best of its kind. So a break in our prices is a break in something you want. Not trash.
Mail orders carefully attended to. Avail yourselves of our love December Prices.
