OUR ALUMNI.
What, Where, and Who they are-
Names that Honor K. S, U.
BY PROF, M. W. STERLING.
The graduates of the Kansas State University, counting all the departments, now number about four hundred and fifty. They live in almost all states of the union, but a very large majority of them are found in Kansas There is no important city or town in this state which is not the home of some of our graduates They occupy leading positions in all important professions and lines of business.
That few of them fill high official positions is sufficiently accounted for by the fact that they are all young; yet, if the signs are not deceptive, ten or fifteen years will make a great change in the situation in this respect With three men in the Kansas and Missouri legislatures, one in the chair of a Kansas judicial district, one an assistant United States District Attorney, more than one hundred members of the bar in cities of Kansas, a half dozen editors and proprietors of influential Kansas papers, to say nothing of the scores of present and former University men doing editorial work in a smaller way, the University has good ground for a confidence belief that, in a dozen years, the Alumni will have a large share of the highest public and official honors in this state. But this is by no means all. The influence for good of a few hundred large-scaled, cultured men and women in all honorable walks and avocations of life is incalculable; and there is no doubt that the children of K. S. U are exerting a powerful influence for the moral and intellectual tone of Kansas.
A few years ago it was possible for anyone in the University to keep himself posted in regard to the whereabouts and occupations of all K. S. U. graduates, but the large classes in several departments in recent years have added so considerably to the list that the necessity of adopting some means of collecting and preserving information about graduates is very urgent.
The University has made a beginning of a card catalogue in which are kept the names and addresses, so far as the latter can be obtained, of graduates in all departments. This is a move in the right direction, but it is doubtful whether it is sufficient, and whether the graduates will feel sufficient interest to keep the office
informed when they change location.
An attempt is now being made by a committee of the Alumni
Association of the department of Science, Literature and the Arts, to collect information for an Alumni catalogue of this, by far the most important department of the University. The plan is to issue a trial catalogue, which will contain the names, addresses and occupations of all graduates in this department, so far as this information can be obtained here. This trial catalogue will be mailed to all graduates whose addresses are known. They will be requested to correct any errors and give any additional information about themselves or any other graduates they may know or can learn about The marked and corrected catalogues will then be returned to the committee. From the information thus secured it is hoped a perfect catalogue may be compiled About once in three years a new issue will be made containing additions and new matter up to date The cause is a worthy one and it is hoped all Alumni and friends of the University will co operate with the committee to make the plan successful.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Messrs. Helmick and Kingman of Kansas, and Codding of Nebraska, are the pioneer missionaries to Soudan. In the course of the next three or four years it is estimated there will be several hundred more.
Iowa was represented at the recent State convention by 138 college students.
The Y. M. C. A. boys of the University of Iowa have started a building fund. Ten thousand dollars were subscribed by students of members of the Faculty. They hope to raise the balance, fifteenthousand dollars, before Commencement. As they are very enthusiastic we do not doubt but that they will succeed. We wish them all prosperity.
Ft. Scott Normal School has pledged $364 to support an Alumnus in the foreign field
Why cannot the Y. M. C. A. boys support at least one student at Northfield, Mass., next summer? Several of the boys would go if they only had a little more money. It would be only a trifle from each member and would put one more laborer for the field.

National Educational Associa-
The National Educational Association and Council of Education have decided to hold their next Annual Convention at St. Paul, Minnesota, July 4 to 11, 1890. Hon. James H. Canfield, of Lawrence, Kansas, is president of the Association. It is expected that there will be twenty thousand teachers present from all points of the Union. The Western railroads have already agreed to give hall rates, plus $2.00 membership fee, to all persons who attend, and Eastern and Southern roads will make low rates which will be announced at an early date. St. Paul has organized a local executive committee and the most complete arrangements are being made to give the teachers a splendid welcome to the Northwest, and to make the meeting a great success. There will be ample hotel accommodation at reasonable rates. Local excursions are being planned to all important points of interest in the Northwest and on the Pacific Coast which will furnish teachers with the finest summer holiday trips that they ever enjoyed. The official "Bulletin," containing programs, rates and full particulars, to be issued in March, will be sent free. Address,

Christmas, 1889.
Is almost here, and one firm has anticipated your wants for the holiday season. At the University book store, Field & Hargis, proprietors, you will find, well, what is it you won't find for the merry Christmas season? You are going home and expect to be remembered by father or mother, why not take something home with you that will surprise the home folks? Nothing is more acceptable than a book, and we are showing books on all subjects in all styles of binding, in single volumes and in sets; gift books, illustrated books, poems and hymns handsomely illustrated. Booklets from 5 cents up. In dressing cases, toilet sets, handkerchief and glove cases, jewel boxes, work boxes, writing desks and elegant leather tablets, novelties from Japan, screens in Chinese silk, but the business manager wont wait for more copy. He says we all know you have the finest and largest line of holiday goods ever shown in Lawrence; but one word as to prices: They are not retail prices, but factory prices, as the jobber makes nothing on the goods we sell, as we deal direct with the manufacturer. Delays are dangerous; make your selections while the stock is complete, and you will be happy.
