Climbing the Golden Stairs.
Mr. L. Charles Miller is off for Salt Lake City, where he will be manager of a branch of the Davidson Loan and Investment Company for Utah. We are sorry to lose Charley, but we assure the people of Salt Lake City that he is as sound and reliable as the company which he represents. This company has been doing a great but conservative business through Southern Kansas for many years. Mr. Miller's many friends here wish him prosperity in his new home - Wichita Eagle.
Charley was in the University during the years 1883-4 and '84-5, and was an active member of the Oread Society and the Sigma Nu Fraternity, but left during the spring of '85 to accept a position with the Davidson Loan Company. Since that time his promotion has been steady and rapid. The Courier extends congratulations.
Bishop Foss.
Bishop Foss' strong and eloquent sermon was highly entertaining and instructive. For an hour and a half he held the closest attention of that vast audience. Among other things he paid a high compliment to the State of Kansas and her glory—her University.
Bishop Foss, of Philadelphia, and the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. of K. S. U., proved to be a wonderfully fine attraction. The chapel was filled Sunday evening from top to bottom.
The singing by a choir of students under the leadership of Dr. Wilcox, added much to the pleasure of the occasion.
The whole affair was eminently successful, and the associations merit the thanks of all.
Robert McIntire.
No.10.
The first lecture in the University course, by Rev. Robert McIntire, of Chicago, more than pleased the large audience that heard it last Friday evening. He took for his subject "Wyandotte Cave," and handled it in a charming and masterly way. He is indeed a prince of orators, and he never proved himself more worthy of the title than when he gave to his common-place subject a fascination and importance never dreamed of before.
The party given by the Sigma Nu last Friday evening formed one of the delightfully successful events in the chapter's history. A dainty supper was served and games and dancing lasted until a late hour. Mrs. Flora Bennett and Mrs. W. H. Sears received, ably assisted by Messrs. Ed. Keys, Sam. Simons, Clare ce Sears and Will Rutter.
Robert McIntire will ever find a hearty welcome at K. S. U.
Sigma Nu Party.
Their beautiful hall was especially decorated for the event.
SCOLDED.
A Just and Humane Punishment of the Deilahs of the K. S. U.
At last the blow has fallen. At last the mighty mandate has been proclaimed and outraged innocence has been vindicated before the world.
Ever since the hilarious shampooing of one Mr. Clark, a reputed Soph. of the K. S. U., the average student has had beneath his tongue one of the sweetest, gossipiest morsels ever mouthed on Mt. Oread's top. Just who the shampoooners were has been something of a mystery. What would be the result, other than the disfiguring of the victim, has been a most fabulous quantity.
It was found, however, that the grand Greek and mysterious shampoons were nothing less than a gallant gang of refined "hazers," and that Mr. Clark, their victim, duped into a false initiation, had been shamefully butted by a wild and woolly goat.
With the news, K. S. U. was afflame with indignation and surprise. Imprecations and revenging wrath smote the air; the Barbs declared war and the Faculty went into council. The whole State of Kansas held up its hands in horror and asked for justice.
The students talked and talked and the Faculty counseled and counseled. Monday morning a decision was reached. All of the participants in the wet-blanket, corn-cob, paintpot, cold-water and shampooing enterprise [an enterprise, by the way, that was eminently successful] were brought ruthlessly before the Faculty and there received—a scolding.
The form of this punishment was posted Tuesday in the balls. It has afforded a wonderful amount of attraction—and fun—for the students.
Desiring to know how the action of the Faculty pleased Mr. Clark and his friends, the Courier quietly circulated itself for that purpose.
Mr. Clark, the innocent victim of the affair, was found standing exultantly by the posted reprimand bearing on his pensive countenance a look of magnanimity that would have melted the veriest imp of Satan. You can imagine the effect on the Courier man.
"So the punishment was sufficiently severe?" ventured the Courier.
"Oh, it's all right, I guess," cheerfully responded the generous fellow.
"Mr. Clark, what do you think of the reprimand?" asked the Courier with suppressed emotions.
"Yes, I think it was. I didn't want to see the boys suspended or expelled. I believe in Christian
charity. If one cheek be cuffed, I can't see why the other shouldn't receive the initiation. No, I propose to be the martyr in this business. If I did loose a bewitching mustache, and if I was branded like the ox for life, I want to do the fair thing with the boys. I believe in fun."
So do we all of us thought the reporter, and as he walked away murmured to himself the praise of so noble a martyr.
The Courier man did not stop here $ _{j} $ but had a few other private conversations. He found that the Hazers were quietly chuckling over the lightness of their punishment, while the Barbs treated the Faculty's decision with utter contempt.
This is a sample of what the COURIER met :
"Punished?" said a prominent Barb. "No one has been punished. I don't consider that reprimand the slightest punishment. It's queer punishment, seems to me, for an act so outrageous."
But 'tis done. Innocence has been shaven of its locks. These withered locks are still in death. Youthful hilarity has shown its nerve and the University its power. The world still moves.
