Commencement Concert of the Department of Music.
One of the largest audiences which has assembled in University Hall this year was the one that enjoyed the excellent program presented by the students of the music department assisted by Miss Georgia Brown,last Thursday evening. Miss Franklin in two numbers displayed her customary excellence at the piano and was warmly applauded. Miss Weller also presented two selections in a very easy, charming manner. Miss Burr showed herself a correct and pleasing player. Mr. Manning delighted the audience, as usual, with his faultless rendition of music. The vocal solos by Miss Georgia Brown were rendered in a charming manner and brought forth repeated applause, the selection "Last Night" being repeatedly encored.
The department of Music closes a most successful year's work with this concert. The growth of the department is gratifying to all friends of the University and of music. It is to this department, under its efficient instructor, that Lawrence owes her
reputation for Musical culture. Already the department is widely known throughout the State for the proficiency attained in it, and the University can well be proud of its work.
Kappa Alpha Theta.
One of the pleasantest of the many events in the social life of the University is the Commencement reception given every spring by the young ladies of Kapppa Alpha Theta. These young ladies fully maintained their reputation as excellent entertainers at their reception given in the Merchants Bank Hall last Friday evening; indeed former efforts were fairly surpassed. Many of the Alumni and friends of the fraternity members from a distance were present.
Very neat little souvenirs were the dance cards tied with the colors.
The supper which was highly complimented, was prepared and served in a very tasteful manner by the young ladies. The hall as decorated by the young ladies presented a very attractive appearance and coupled with the royal manner in which the Thetas entertained their guests will make the occasion one long to be remembered with pleasure.
Those present were: Mr. and Mrs.
A. Henley, Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Field,
Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Webster, Mr. and

Department of Pharmacy. A good audience assembled in University Hall Monday morning to hear the exercises of the Senior Pharmacy class. After the invocation by Dr. Coreley, Mr. Robert Parker delivered a very pleasing salutatory. Mr. E. W. Morris spoke on the "Schools of Pharmacy," after which Mr. Denton Hogeboom read the "Class History" which he had compiled in a very interesting manner. The "Pill Speech" made by Mr. Alfred T. Webb was full of sound advice to the Juniors and contained much humor. But the Junior response by Mr. E. S. Bessey was if possible, wittier and elicited much applause.
Hon. F. A. Faxon then gave the boys much wholesome advice in their profession which they no doubt will follow.
Mr. Robert Drake, President of the State Board of Pharmacy also addressed a few words to the class urging them to continue their work zealously and conscientiously.
The "Valedictory" by Mr. Fred Kaiser was one of the best efforts of the day. Mr. Kaiser spoke very forcibly and protestant against the stigma of the liquor traffic being thrown upon the pharmacists.
Department of Law. J.W. Green and M. Summerfield
The music by the Andie Jewell Orchestra very pleasantly punctuated the program. All in all the Pharmacy department has reason to be proud of its work and of its Commencement exercises.
There is no longer any doubt in the minds of those best qualified to judge, that the law school is the proper place to begin the study of the law. Twenty years ago when every lawyer considered it a part of his business to give instruction to students serving apprenticeship in his office, the matter wore a different aspect. But the bad economy of the old plan came gradually to be recognized. Law schools grew in efficiency and in favor, and lawyers adopted themselves to the new order of things, so that to-day there is practical unanimity of opinion in legal circles. The law school is by far the most economical means to a sound legal education. The Department of Law was established in the State University of Kansas in the fall of 1878. The design was to furnish a complete course of legal instruction for persons intending to practice at the bar in any State of the Union. The aim in text-book instruction is the thorough training of the student in legal modes of thought, and the cultivation of a clear knowledge of the leading principles of law, leaving minor details for later years. Definiteness and exactness of knowledge is considered of the first importance. In addition to their law studies, the students of this department may have access, without charge, to the library of the University, and on the payment of the contingent fee may have the privileges of recitations and lectures in the Department of Science, Literature and Arts. The complete course includes two annual terms, each of which occupies eight and one-half months, (including two weeks' recess at Christmas.) The first term for the year 1888-9 will begin on Wednesday, the 14th day of September, 1888. All persons purposing to enter upon the study of law are earnestly recommended first to take a course of liberal studies. Applicants for the degree of LL.B. must, in every case, have been admitted as regular members of the senior class at the beginning of the senior term, and must also have attended the senior recitations during the entire term. Moot courts are held every week during the term by one of the Faculty, at each of which a case previously assigned is taken up for practice in the conduct of causes, and in the discussion of legal principles. A Kent club has been formed by the students, in which dissertations are read and cases argued.
The department was never in so promising a condition as now. The classes for next year will be larger than ever before, if the present indications are vereified.
Judge Thacher's Address.
The annual oration before the Department of Law was given in University Hall last Monday evening by Hon. S. O. Thatcher. The production was interesting, scholarly, brilliant and commanded the close attention of the audience.
Space only allows us to give a few extracts.
"MILESTONES OF THE LAW."
It is not a broad philosophy that finds the march of human progress alone to consist in widening acres of tilled fields or multiplied smoke-stocks, or in spreading white wings of commerce. Physical growth is a measure indeed, but only a partial and narrow measure, of the advance the race has made from rudimentary life to the complex order of a high civilization.
Nationality finds its exponent in wealth, art, literature, religion and law. The lowest of these is the mere aggregation of the transitory things of earth, those we call riches. True it is that "chill penury" represses the nobler pursuits, obscures
the genius of the poet and artist, and makes religion a solace amid toil and want, instead of a sublime communion of the soul with the Divine Spirit. The grind and wear of poverty tend away from intellectual achievements and exalted contemplation. The nation that knows no increasing alleviation of the physical misery of its people bestows little thought on the sculptor, law-giver or theologian. It is unnecessary to decry wealth in finding that the noblest elements of progress lie along higher planes than those of material welfare.
Few reflecting minds will question the affirmation that the rules that guide the administration of justice and define the rights of men should show a conformity to that universal law of progress which the optimist beholds in the history of civilized nations."
"Time may dissolve the monument of Nelson in Trafalgar Square, the bronze figure of Wellington in the Wilhalla of Ergland, may corrode into dust, Blenheim palace cease to commemorate the deeds of Marlborough, and the battles of mighty men of valor be erased from the historic page, but immortal shall be the memory of those who, during the centuries, have sought to lift jurisprudence to the loftly plane of justice and to establish fidelity and truth as cardinal principles for every walk of life."
After carefully noticing the various "milestones," and tracing the course of freedom after the time of Lord Mansfield's decision that "no slave could breathe English air," the Judge concluded as follows:
