Kent Club.
Although a good many students were resting, and we fear a few were "gramming," for examinations today, a good number were present to hear the successful rendition of the following program by the Kent club last night:
Current Events... Spooner.
Current Decisions... Westcot.
Declaration... Finfrock.
Extemp. Speech... Harburger.
"... Workman.
Parliamentary Drill... Nelson.
Debate: "Does study in a law office, exclusively, better qualify a student for the practice of law than a course exclusively in a law school?" Affirmative, W. Herdman, C. E. Ems; Negative, Wayde, E. L. Ackley.
Prof. Blake will to-night deliver a lecture in the studio on "Illusions in Art." The lecture will begin at the usual time, 7:80, and all are invited to attend. All those who have heard Prof. Blake will not fail to be present, as he always makes his discussions interesting.
The boys who have all their "exams" this week are preparing to have a good time and to rest in ease next week, while the afternoon classes are taking their examinations.
The following is taken from the State Journal:
Mr. Poe, of Butler, who has been holding in the fiery steeds of his intellect, to-day urged to the front and "let her go Gallagher" with the following resolution, which was received with a wild burst of applause by the house:
WHEREAS, The people of the state of Kansas have decided by a majority of eighty thousand that they are in favor of protection to American industries, and are opposed to the doctrine of British free trade, therefore be it
Resolved, That the committee on state affairs be directed to ascertain and report at as early a day as possible, whether it is a fact that the British doctrine of free trade is taught at the State University at Lawrence, and by whom, and that they report by bill, or otherwise, what, if any, legislation is necessary to abolish the English titles of "Lord Chancellor," "Dean" and "Regents, or "rulers" in the absence of a king, and substitute in lieu thereof the American titles of "Professors" and "Trustees" for the officers of said institution and all other state institutions of the state of Kansas, to whom British titles are given by the laws of this state.

Every student of K. S. U. should be heartily in earnest for the success of our gymnasium project. The other departments of the University have asked for adequate appropriations, and have had their best arguments presented. That is well and good, but what's the matter with us?
Our Gymnasium.
Here is a department totally unorganized and unquestionably necessary. Every student knows that without proper physical exercise he can not do the best grade of work and keep up his physical and mental health. The exercise which students take here is very irregular; and systematic exercise, which all ought to take, is not to be had. There is just as much use and as much sense in spending one-half hour daily in scientific physical training as in spending hours a day on the science of Geology, or the study of a dead language. Will any one dispute this? And would any professor be proud to think of a university where Geology and Greek are not taught?
A gymnasium would come nearer to supplying the needs of the whole than any other thing asked for. It would be a positive benefit to every department. It would give better lessons and better attendance, and more vigor to every student. It would give as much dignity and attraction to K. S. U. as twice the requisite appropriation in any other department.
This is a students' cause, and let every student work for it. Its success will be every professor's satisfaction. What is the use of a student's studying for life and death—and often the latter, and yet having so little knowledge as not to know that he would feel better, and know more with two-thirds the same amount of study and one-half hour's daily exercise in a well equipped gymnasium? Can't every student stir himself? Can't he write his legislator and give in his plea? The legislators certainly know that the University is established partly for the welfare of the students, and if they see that we are in earnest and that our request is a necessity, we can have good hopes of their generosity.

Liddekene has been obliged to discontinue his studies for the present, because of trouble with his eyes.

Engagement of Rentfrow's Jolly Pathfinders with their own Uniformed Band and superb orchestra of solo artists and the wonderful little artist, Master Frankie Jones. In repertoire of choice and original comedies.
Monday night, "Scraps;" Tuesday night, "Six Peas in a Pod;" Wednesday night, "Fun by Express;" Thursday night, "Doncaster Station;" Friday night, "Pair of Owls;" Saturday matinee, "Just for Fun;" Saturday night, "Fast Mail."
The Wheeling (W. Va.) Register says of the company: "The performance given by Rentfrow's Jolly Pathfinders at the Academy of Music last night was superb. The comedy 'Scraps' bristles with bright witticisms and sparkling, catching, musical gems that literally took the large and enthusiastic audience by storm. The company as a whole is probably the finest of its kind that ever visited this city. Master Frankie Jones is the greatest juvenile female impersonator that ever appeared before a Wheeling audience, and he had to respond to not less than a dozen encounters during the evening's performance. Miss Dot Seville, and Messrs, F. E. Haney and James F. Gree are a host in themselves, and kept the audience in a perfect uproar of mirth. The performance throughout is chaste and elegant and calculated to suit the tastes of the most refined and cultured lady. Once seated in the auditorium, you enjoy a succession of hearty laughs from the rising to the lowering of the curtain."
Exchanges.
This week finds the Volante on our table. This is a carefully edited paper published by the students of the University of Dakota. The editor-in-chief is a young lady, and judging this copy by copies of other college papers one is forced to believe that a change for the better might be made if the number of lady editors were increased.
The students of Ann Arbor have asked the State Legislature to prohibit the sale of intoxibants within five miles of the University. Yale's faculty has passed a law forbidding the societies of the college from in dulging in intoxicating drinks.—Exc.
The orator of the class of '90 of Alleghany college is suggestively named Bray.
The December number of the Oberlin Review contains the oration delivered by H. H. Russell, of Oberlin college, at the inter-state oratorical contest held in this city in 1886. On the same pages appears an oration delivered by L. R. Wilfley, winner at the state inter-collegiate contest held in Columbia, Mo., May 31 1888. Strange as it may seem a comparison of these orations shows them to be nearly the same, word for word.
