THE COURIER wishes you a pleasant vacation.
THE Hutchinson Repnblian is bound to succeed under the efficient management of Will Little, an old Courier and Review man.
THE Inter-Fraternity Base Ball League is a move in the right direction. The league of 1887 was a decided success.
We understand that Rev. Ingalls has forbidden his name to be used in connection with the Chancellorship.
THE "irrepressible" John Sullivan is rapidly forging to the front. Here he sends us three papers, the Rosedale Record, the Blue Valley Record, and the Westport Record, all of which he is proprietor and publisher. And he never forgets that he received his early training on the Courier, of which he is one of the founders. Success to you John
THE Times in its last issue displays its usual lack of veracity in its statements regarding oratorical affairs here at the University.
Yes, dear Campus, the Courier no doubt seems "fresh" to you old fogies who never publish an article except it has a faint flavor of decay lingering about it, incident to its resurrection from your otherwise vacant cranium.
We are indebted to Hon. M. Moher, Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture for a copy of the "Sixth Biennial Report of the State Board of Agricultre." This volume containing as it does excellent maps of each county and carefully tabulated statements of each county's wealth and a description of its resources, besides many articles of interest to the farmer and to the scientist, is a most valuable book of reference to any one who wishes to keep informed on the rapid growth and great prosperity of the sunflower state.
June has been all winter agitating her next programme. She says we shall have music and beauty and breezes. She promises an interesting contest between the grass and the flowers. She will give an entertainment at sunrise; she will interest us at noon; at night she will give us refreshment.
The birds are to strive to excel each other in beauty, song and pretty ways; the fish in their smooth suits will run races; and the trees will hold out weights.
There is nothing selfish about June. She enjoys her sport when we take part in it. She even solicits our connivance and will return a rich reward. As a student she is neither "drone" nor "grind." She's animation.
She wants us to become animation. She would not have us dream and dream and dream in a dusty classroom every day.
She has made us a generous proposition. She has offered us a beautiful day decked with splendid foliage for a "field day." Now she is too welcome a friend to slight. Intelligent students know that. We must (?) we are glad to accept.
You, merchants whom we have been patronizing all winter, what do you think of June? Won't you contribute to her entertainment? She wants to see a hundred yard foot race for $20 and a two mile race for $30. She wants to see a standing jump, a high jump and a running jump for $5 each. She wants to see an egg race, a sack race, a wheelbarrow race, a hammer-throwing and every other kind of athletic contest all for suitable rewards. She is coming now. What will you contribute?
It is an established fact that Kansas leads the world in running. K. S. U. could gain world-wide celebrity by training her sprin-tracers. At least she could have obtained some phenomenal specimens near Snow Hall last Thursday. If you will go to the ball ground at 3 o'clock this afternoon you will see the best race ever run in Lawrence. Firestone is the champion of the Anthony team and Wixon is a greeny, but O, my!"
While talking of running, we will mention that K. U. has a standing challenge from one of her students for a two mile race. Boys, bring out your man.
We have jumpers that would be ashamed to carry off the prize if they should jump no farther than the majority of field-day champions. And some of our strong men handle fifty pound dumb-bells with ease (Feel Hickey's arms.)
Mr. President, I move you that a meeting be called and a committee be appointed to make preparations for field-day.
Base-Ball
With the approach of spring, interest in this great American game awakens. Already we hear of base ball nines being organized, and hope soon to hear of the K. S. U. nine's indulging in some necessary practice. We were successful last year, and, if our nine is selected in time and put under rigid training, our success is assured for the coming year. No delay should be allowed if we expect again this year to win victory on the diamond from the different colleges of the State. For ever since we plucked the laurels from Washburn last year, she has been regarding us with a jealous "baseball" eye.
Besides, it is a good thing for K. S.U. to rank well in athletics. For next to good thorough work in class, nothing advertises an institution more than excellence in college sports. The eastern colleges are heard of oftener through their clubs, their nines, and their crews than through their curriculum.
Then let all, professors and students alike, lend encouragement to University athletics and make them a success.
"Bill Nye and James Whitcomb Riley entertained a large audience in Jermain Hall last evening with alternate readings from their own works, and if there is anyone who heard them who is not lame from laughter this morning, he or she has a poor appreciation of the cream of wit and humor."
See what the Albany Evening Journal says of Nye and Riley:
At Bowersock's opera house, Tuesday, April 16th. Seats on sale at Crew & Co.'s book store.
Science Club.
Science Club met as usual in Snow Hall last Friday evening. The first paper on the program was by A. L. Sloan, on the "Forth Bridge." He gave a detailed account of the construction and the manner in which it was built. All the parts of the bridge were manufactured and put together on the spot, and in size it exceeds the famous Brooklyn Bridge. The second paper of the evening was by Fred Liddeke, subject: "Arab Influence on Science." He gave a very full description showing the influence exerted on science of their own late times by the Arabian scientific scholars. He demonstrated that invention and discovery owe much of the impetus it received to the work and influence of this people. The civilization of northern Europe can look to the Moors as one of the most powerful factors in its growth.
The last paper was on the subject "The Improvement of Storage Cells," by Noyes, in which a graphic account of the manner in which friction, heat, etc., have to be overcome, was given.
Science notes were then given by the Club in general, after which the meeting adjourned.
Athenaeum.
Athenaeum Society met in their hall last Friday evening and the following program was rendered: Declamation...C. F. Humphrey Essay...Alberta Corbin Reading...H. E. Ellison Essay...J. O. Worden Oration...Harry B. Hall.
Law Department
The debate—Resolved, That imprisonment should be reformatory rather than punitive," was supported on the affirmative side by E. W. Palmer and R. D. Brown, and on the negative by C. L. Christian and D. H. Spencer. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. Mushrush, Fullerton and Chapman were appointed a committee on music. Meeting adjourned.
Mrs. Bennett Entertains.
Mrs. Flora Bennett gave a small party last evening at the Sigma Nu hall in honor of her guest Miss Mamie Jacobs, of Emporia. About thirty of the students were present and a most enjoyable evening was spent in dancing and conversation. At ten o'clock an elegant supper was served by caterer Harris after which dancing was resumed and kept up until a late hour. Miss Jacobs will probably enter the University next fall.
