THE COURIER welcomes all old and new students. We are glad to see all. It betokens a grand year in the history of K. U., to see so many of the boys and girls gather in the first week. THE COURIER is still here and will be on the side of progress. We will advocate any measure that is for the good of the University and its students.
Subscribe for the only reliable Courier. Year after year she has gone on. Papers may come or go, the "Lion may roar, the whangdoodle mourn," but THE COURIER goeth on forever.
The University opens this year most auspiciously. A goodly number of new students and many old ones have already enrolled, and many more will come. The professors have returned from their vacation trips with renewed strength and earnest desire to do all that is possible to move our Alma Mater forward to a leading place among the great colleges.
Let us, as students, resolve to settle down to work together for K. S. U. This can best be done by each man working for himself. A course
in college does not amount to much, unless the student derives the full benefit of the studies offered him. Society can be formed elsewhere. Politics can be pursued after graduation, but the college should be a place of mental improvement. Let us broaden ourselves in every way; let us make a name as students, not as politicians or dudes. Society is a good thing in its place, and a moderate indulgence in social pleasures can only be of benefit to the student. It is a relief from work, and tends to more firmly cement friendships; but let us not overdo the social side. We must work if U. of K. is to rival the great eastern schools, we must have an Alumni who can stand equal to the graduates of any college in the land—such can only be if we lay the foundation of a broad and liberal culture.
The announcement that Phi Beta Kappa had granted a charter to Kansas University, created much surprise and comment in college circles. This fraternity is known as the leading honorary Greek society. Its members are chosen from the honor men of the senior class, on graduation. It claims as members many of the foremost literateurs of our nation. Membership in this society is prized as one of the highest honors to which a collegian can ever attain. That the granting of this charter is evidence of the high standing of K. S. U. in the east, is plain to all Greeks, and it only need be said that none but the foremost colleges of the land have chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. K. S. U. is rapidly taking a leading place among the great educational institutious of America. She has a good name in the East and West alike, and this is probably the greatest proof of the confidence of Eastern school men. We welcome Phi Beta Kappa, and trust that she may find many worthy sons in the Sunflower State.
In Memory of Agnes Clarke.
WHEREAS, the Alumni of Kansas State University, feel deep sadness at the death of Agnes Clarke, of the class of '84, and wou'd seek some way in which to convey to those who mourn her early death, our sympathy with them in their affliction, which we, too, feel;
thy in their great sorrow, over the loss of so devoted and true a daughter and sister, and tenderly commend them to the mercy and grace of our Heavenly Father from whom alone cometh true consolation.
Therefore, be it Resolved, That in her death we have lost one possessed of high aspirations, endeared to us by her generous nature and high type of character, the memory of whose pure and noble spirit shall ever have an abiding place in our affection.
Resolved, That we extend to the bereaved family our sincere sympa-
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be entered upon the minutes of the Alumni Association of the University of Kansas, that a copy be sent to her family, and that they be printed in the University and city papers.

THE NEW PROFESSORS
Another evidence of growth at K. S. U., is shown by the fact that an addition to the Faculty of four new professors has been made since the close of the last school year. THE COURIER, on behalf of the students extends a welcoming hand, and bids them God speed in their efforts to help make K. S. U. one of the leading institutions of the country.
MAX WINKLER
The new assistant to Prof. Carruth and Arthur Canfield is a native of Germany but received his education in this country. He was prepared for Harvard in Cincinnati, O., and graduated from that institution with high honors last year. While at Harvard he devoted himself specially to Language and Literature and comes to his new field of work with the unqualified endorsement of Profs. Shelton and Cohn. Last year he worked with Prof. Carruth who recognized his ability and urged his appointment. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
MISS CAROLINE C. WALCH.
Miss Caroline C. Walch, the new assistant in English, is a Vassar graduate, having received her degree of A. B. from that institution in 1884. Since graduation she has been teaching in a preparatory school at Hartford, Conn., and also carrying a number of private classes. In addition to her school work she had charge of the social and charitable columns of the Syracuse (N. Y.) Herald, and has attracted attention as a writer in other directions. She has been carrying a course in post graduate work and will receive her master's degree from Vassar next June. Her home is in Syracuse, N. Y.
Will. Stevens, whom everybody likes, returns to the University after an absence of four years, as assistant professor in Natural History.
W. C. STEVENS.
Will is a Lawrence boy, having been raised and educated in this place. He entered the University about 1880 and graduated from the Natural History Department in 1885. After graduation he went to Emporia and has held the position of Professor of Natural Sciences in the high school of that city until his election as assistant in the University last spring. While in the University Will took an active interest in University affairs and was one of the principal contributors to the old semi-monthly Courier. He was also one of the charter members of the Phi Gamma Delta chapter here. He was married last year to Miss Ada Pugh, an old time student, who will be gladly welcomed back to Lawrence by her many friends and acquaintances here.
FRANK W. BLACKMAR
An extended sketch of Prof Blackmar was given in THE COURISE last Spring, but for the benefit of the new students we reproduce a part of it. Prof. Blackmar is a native of Pa., and graduated from the Northwestern Normal School in 1874. He then went to California and taught a few years in the Public Schools of that State. He then entered the University of the Pacific, and graduated with honors with the class of '81. He taught in the San. Jose High School, and was then called back to the University of the Pacific to fill the chair of mathematics. This position he held until 1886, when he resigned to pursue a post graduate course in Johns Hopkins. During the year 1887-8, he was an instructor in History at that institution, and at the time of his election to the chair of History and Sociology in the University last spring, was a Fellow in History and Politics at Johns Hopkins. He is a member of Phi Psi Fraternity, having joined that organization while a student at the University of the Pacific. He took his degree of Ph. D. last June, at Johns Hopkins, the subjects covered in his course being History, Political Economy and English.
