The University is to be congratulated on securing Mr. Moody as one of its regents. Mr. Moody's valiant fight for the University in the Legislature has made him very popular among our students, and in hands like his the interests of K. S. U. will surely be well cared for.
YESTERDAY's Kansas City Times declares in favor of Prof. J. H. Canfield for Chancellor. He would make a good one.
Ir was with a feeling of regret that we heard of Chancellor Lippincott's resignation to accept the pastorate of the first M. E. church at Topeka at the close of this year. Dr. Lippincott has given excellent satisfaction as chancellor, and has been instrumental in bringing K. S. U. to its present high standard. His diligence and constant interest for the welfare of the University, as well as his personal interest in the students, have won the regard and esteem of all connected with K. S. U.
The article in the Courier on "How it was done" seems to have stung into slight activity the long
dormant faculty of conscience among the ringleaders in the Phi Beta Chi oratorical scheme. To be sure when people do mean tricks and then try to whitewash them over, it does become rather hard to keep from wrigling and squirming when the facts are shown up in their true light. For our part, our experience with the "honorable gentlemen" referred to, inclines us to say with Shakespeare: "And be these juggling friends no more be leaved. That patter with us in a double sense: That keep the word of promise to our ear."
ONE of the most indefatigable workers in the University is Prof. Jas. H. Canfield. Thorough in the work in his department and careful of that department's interests, he is ever alive to the interests of the institution at large. Only a few weeks ago he started a movement which resulted in placing in the library a number of handsome tables. Through his efforts numerous volumes have been donated to our library and many volumes from his own private library have been placed at the students disposal. Notwithstanding the great amount of work imposed upon him in his department from the want of an assistant, he manages to find time to talk to the people upon educational questions. Only two weeks ago he addressed a large audience at Nashville Tennessee, where he had gone as secretary of the National Teachers Association. The work in his department is becoming broader and more systematized each year. Students are attracted to his classes by his pleasant manners, his personal interest in each member of his classes,
be teved.
That palter with us in a double sense:
That keep the word of promise to our ear.
And break it to our hope."
WE ARE on the down-hill grade now, towards commencement, the great goal of college life. The weeks slip away like days, and before we know it, almost, the hour will come for us to pack up our trunks and be take ourselves to our native hearths. The time has come now, if we have failed to do so before, to look around us and see if we have been making the best of our opportunities this year. Some of us have been devoting too much time to society, some of us hive penned ourselves up within our little circle of books, and are looking pale and tired and red-eyed, some of us have been so occupied in college politics that an outsider would think superiority in some petty college organization the only aim of our college life.
If we find we have been running too much in any one of these directions, let us correct the fault before it is too late. Let us equalize our work, and broaden ourselves.
his thorough knowledge of what he teaches and by his admirable methods of imparting that knowledge to others. It would be a sorry day indeed for the University should the complaints of the "newspaper cranks" against him be heeded... What the University needs is more men like him.
In last week's issue of the Times Mr. Be—Ar—delivers himself of some excellent precepts, and offers himself as a bright and shining example of their efficacy. Now, while we must admire the gentleman's great generosity of spirit in thus posing for the world to copy, we must express a wish that he would be a little more careful to hide the props by means of which his friends thrust him forward to pose before the eager, expectant crowd. For if we have ever had any doubt that he was compelled to the course he took by his associates, that doubt has been completely removed by the traces of other hands than his in the open letter which he purports to write. This letter is but the wail of one who has been led into committing a deed which he knows was wrong and which he desires to cover up with specious pretexts, But goaded on to the course which he now tries to defend, in that very defense he is goaded by those same associates, to so for forget himself as to make statements, which upon calm consideration he must know are wholly unfounded and untrue.
For he knows well enough that he was never elected by the minority of the association which he claimed to represent, nor was he legally elected by the ex-committee. The fact is, he was not elected at all. And the fact is as we have herebefore stated, that his credentials were simply made up.
The attempt of the honorable gentleman in his blind egotism to compare himself with President Harisson, reminds us of the story of the ass, which once upon a time, thought to frighten men by clothing himself in the skin of a lion. He evidently forgets that Mr. Harrison was elected, not by the people, but by an electoral college in accordance with the spirit and letter of the Constitution itself. But should Mr. Harrison pervert the Constitution and destroy the Union, kick it out of existence as it were, what would our dear friend say then? If he did not deserve the nrme of an Arnold, he certainly would merit one no less ignominious, that of Jeff Davis.
If the gentlman can conscientiously say that no promises were broken, when he can not help knowing that one of his associates
deliberately broke his promise, and that all of them are guilty of violating the spirit of their agreement made before the faculty committee, he evidently will not be troubled much in life by pangs of conscience. If he can say that we were "defeated fairly and squarley in an honorable political fight," with any belief in the truthfulness of his statement, when he remembers the transaction in Culver's room and the means used in that fight, his sense of fairness and honor is remarkable.
We are sorry that the gentleman has allowed himself to be dragged into this difficulty and set up as a mark by his associates; and pity his unfortunate condition. We trust that in the future he will act wiser.
A new board of regents for the State university has been appointed. Under the law enacted by the legislature just before adjournment for the government and control of the university, the terms of all the members of the old board of regents expired and became necessary for the governor to appoint an entire new board. He appointed Senator Joel Moody of Mound City (to succeed Judge A. G. Otis of Atchison): Charles S. Gleed of Topeka to succeed himself; W. C. Spangler of Lawrence (to succeed C. W. Smith of Stockton); Hon. J. F. Billings of Clay Center to succeed himself and Hon. C. R. Mitchell of Geuda Springs to succeed himself, M. P. Simpson of McPherson to succeed himself. Moody, Gleed and Spangler are appointed for three years, and Simpson, Billings and Mitchell are appointed for two years. — Capital-Commonwealth, Messrs. Gleed and Spangler are graduates of K. S. U.
The Phi Kappa Psis.
The members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity assembled in the Throop dining parlors at 10 p.m. last night and adjourned at 2 a.m. after four hours of fun and feed, song and story. The dinner was immaculate, the speeche, gorgeous and the singing Bostonian. Hon. J. M. High, of Reno, speaker protem; Hon. Fred A. Stocks, of Marshall; George T. Nicholson, general passenger and ticket agent of the Santa Fe, and other notables were present. Charles S Gleed presided with entire success from a sanitary and financial standpoint. This fraternity has had for years a very strong chapter at the State University, and includes among its members, Bishop Ninde, Con. gressman Peters and many of the best men in Kansas. Their dinner was an exceedingly enjoyable and
successful reunion of old college men from all parts of the State. As soon as speaker High announced that "Portland lights are just in sight" everybody felt perfectly at home and the good feeling continued till they threw down their arms and dispersed just in time to miss the sunrise High, Stocks Nicholson, Gleed, Spangler, Webster, Prescott, Thompson, Curdy, White, Simpson and Leith were present.State Journal.

Kappa Kappa Gamma.
One of the most successful parties of the season was the brilliant reception given by the ladies of the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity last Friday evening. The spacious balls of the new Merchants National Bank building were tastefully decorated for the occasion, and by nine o'clock were filled with happy guests. After a time spent in happy conversation, a most magnificent menu was served in several courses. The supper was prepared by the young ladies themselves, with Miss McKinnon as directress, and the guests plainly showed their full appreciation of the tempting dainties. After supper the room was quickly cleared, and the remainder of the evening was given to dancing and conversation. We cannot sufficiently praise the cordiality and hospitality of the young ladies, and the ease with which each invited guest was made to feel thoroughly at home. That Kappa Kappa Gamma may be as entirely successful in all her undertakings, is the earnest wish of the Courier.
