TO THE STUDENTS:
We desire to thank you for your kind patronage during the last year and wish to state that we will be on hand the 1st of September with a Complete line of all Text Books and Supplies used in Kansas State University.

WE DO NOT WANT TRADE THAT WE HAVE TO CARRY! Pay book-keepers to keep accounts, pay a lawyer to collect, a justice of the peace to docke and some one to curse after failing to collect. Like Patrick Henry, we say, "GIVE US CASH OR GIVE US DEATH."
Remember! We are not here for our health, but we are doing business for the profit there is in it, and would NOT MAKE YOU BELIEVE AS OTHERS DO, THAT WE CAN SELL YOU GOODS AS LOW AS THE MANUFACTURERS THEMSELVES.

far off is a relief map of Athens and its neighborhood. Here, too, can be seen the beautiful Venus of Melos, the noble figure of the Emperor Augustus in his military dress, the striking and vigorous Borghese Warrior, and the graceful Germanicus [so called], all full-sized casts after the originals. There are busts also of Niobe, Eros, Minerva, the Apollo Belvedere, Homer, Socrates, Plato, Cicero, Vergil Julius Caesar, Nero, Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Septimus Severus, Commodus, Faustina the younger, and a Roman lady. A model over nine feet long of the east pediment of the Zeus temple at Olympia gives one in an instant a more correct idea of the pediment of an ancient temple than he could get from descriptions in a week. A relief map of Rome and a number of charts of Greek and Roman architecture in colors are on the walls, and examples of the large number of photographs and plates [many beautifully colored] at the command of the Greek and Latin departments occupy a large part of the wall space in the museum.
While it is not claimed that the prosecution of these studies will make an accomplished analytical chemist the student will make a good start in this direction. The foundation of this work is Quantitative Analysis, with special reference to accurate methods for the determination of the more abundant elements. The student, as he becomes more skillful, is taught to make complete analysis of minerals, waters, ores of iron, zinc, lead, copper, &c. He is also taught the modern commercial methods for the analysis of milk, butter, sugar and alcoholic liquors. Considerable attention is also paid to the more accurate volumetric methods. By the study of Chemical Physics the student becomes familiar with the modern theories and methods for calculating results. Organic Chemistry discusses the constitution of the more complex bodies, and the methods of building them up from simpler bodies. Mineralogy is taught through the aid of blow pipe analysis. The effort is made to cultivate familiarity with the appearance and characteristics of the most important minerals
The rooms are large and well lighted, and ample room is provided for individual work. Each student is supplied with the apparatus required for his work and is expected to pay only for that which is broken or destroyed. A complete record of all experiments and analysis must be furnished to the instructor in charge.
A term's work is given in the Freshman year to the study of chemical elements and their compounds with experimental work and laboratory practice. A half term follows in the Sophomore year in qualitative analysis with lectures and laboratory work. The first of these subjects is required of all collegiate students; the second of all scientific students. The mastery of these more elementary topics prepares the way for the optional courses, twelve of which are offered the student. A combination of these under the rules for the selection of optionals forms with a few topics chosen from other departments what is called a Course in Applied Chemistry. This course, limited to the Junio and Senior years, comprises the following:
Grinnell, Iowa, has a "Brief-Spelling Association," which is accomplishing something in reforming our spelling Through its efforts the past two years the State Teachers' Association adopted the reform spelling in thirteen words: ar, catalog, defnit, gard, giv, hav, hed, liv, shal, tho, thru, wil, wisht. Some months ago the Secretary of the Brief-Spelling Association addressed notes to the leading educators, asking their opinions about the progress of spelling reform, etc. Robert Burdett responded in a characteristic letter: "If you had written to me about this reform thirty-five years ago, or perhaps a little longer than that, I would have called you blessed, because I was spelling your new way then, and was daily being whipped out of it."—Industrialist.
This is a new department in our University life and work. Its primary aim is to illustrate classical studies, Greek, and Latin. A secondary result of it, no doubt, will be the cultivation of taste which comes from contact with the noblest and most beautiful models. Here can be seen, grouped together in close proximity, examples of all the varieties of sculpture the great geniu of Pheidias conceived for the decoration of the noblest building of the Greeks, the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens. Casts of three plates of the frieze of the temple show us a part of the great Panathenaic procession and three of the sitting divinities into whose presence the procession is marching. Three metopes show combats of a Greek and a Centaur in various stages of the fight, and give a glimpse at the variety of workmanship on the sculptures under the one guiding hand of Pheidias. And between two metopes stands the colossal figure in the round, of the reclining youth from the east pediment. Near by stands a model, 3 feet 8 inches by 2 feet 6 inches, of the Acropolis in its present condition, with the Parthenon itself, which all these sculptures decorated, and two plans of its summit; while not very

so that they may be readily recognized. In the course of Assaying while particular at ention is paid to the fine assay of gold and si ver ores, the methods for the volumetric determination of bullion are taught as well as some methods for the assay of coal and of ores, of lead, iron, mercury and copper. In Toxicology the most approved methods for the detection of poisons are studied and this is supplemented by practical work in the laboratory upon the separation and identification of poisons in the presence of organic matter. The laboratory facilities are excellent.

The annual race between the Cambridge and the Oxford University crew occurred March 30, over a course of four miles and two furlongs. Cambridge won by four lengths. Of the forty-six races between these institutions, Oxford has won twenty-three and Cambridge twenty one, one having resulted in a dead heat.—Ex.
