About three hundred students have signed the petition to the legislature for a sum with which to establish a gymnasium. This number consists mostly of the male students, many of the young ladies not having yet signed. All those who have not yet added their names to the list should do so at once, the young ladies especially. This is a matter of vital importance, and cannot meet with the too hearty approbation and support of both sexes.
At a recent meeting of the Faculty at Washburn, an act was passed granting to the professors and instructors the privilege of deciding whether or not they should give final examinations to their respective classes. While some of the professors adhere to the old custom of having final examinations, others are in favor o. doing away with this system, and adopting some plan of their own devising, which is more suitable to their different departments.
THE COURIER wishes all its friends the usual "Happy Christmas and Merry-New Years," and hopes that all may return after the holidays with renewed vigor and a strong desire to win honors and to excel in at least one branch. The new year
promises to be the one most important in the history of K. S. U. We all hope, ere we once more leave the doors of the University to spend the summer vacation, that all the petitions to the legislature may be granted and the future greatness of of K. S. U., as a State University, insurad. May these hopes not be blighted.
The students have again begun to show renewed zeal and enthusiasm in literary work. The work now being done by the two literary societies can be favorably compared with that done by old Oread in its most flourishing days.
Orophilian has been rejuvenated, as it were, and Athenaeum is coming rapidly to the front. The latter, especially, is doing some work which is surprising in a new society, and which shows that its members are a class of the most energetic students, whose honest endeavor it is to present an interesting program.
The success with which these societies are meeting shows that the students of K. S. U. still take an active interest in literary work and that a society not governed by any faction, where true merit is recognized and honored, is certain to succeed.
Pi Beta Phi.
The reception given by the ladies of the Pi Beta Phi Sorosia last Friday evening was an event long to be remembered by those who had the pleasure of attending. The elegant residence of Hon. Henry Tisdale, of West Lawrence, was thrown open for the occasion, and in its vide and brilliantly illuminated parlors the guests were made to feel that the Pi Beta Phi's of to-day even surpass in hospitality and cordial welcome the I.C.'s, of former times. At about ten o'clock a most sumptuous repast was served, during the last course of which beautifully hand painted sachet bags, in garnet and light blue, the colors of the Sorosis, were presented to each of the guests. These charming little souvenirs were the more highly prized by the delighted recipients because of the fair hands that made them. After refreshments the merry throng adjourned to the spacious dancing hall on the third floor, where dancing to the music of the mandolin club was indulged in by lovers of the Terpischorean art until a late hour. The Pi Beta Phi's are justly to be congratulated upon possessing the true secret of success in entertaining their many friends.
Those present were: Misses Webster, Babcock, Maxwell, Pickering, Hadley, Fullerton, Johnston, Kate Miller, Teuney, Buckingham, Brown, Helen Webber, Mary Miller, Pugh, Love, Horton, King, Scott, Gertrude Crotty, Manly, Anna Barker, Millia Crotty, Penfield, White, Lou Barker, Snow, McCague, Dow, Tisdale and Sutliff; Messrs. Horton, Curdy, Morgan, Bowersock, Akers, Fullerton, Earhart, Edson, Davis, Snow, DeFord, Grover, Will Spencer, Robinson, Whitman, Watson, Fox, Ovis, Lewis, Scott, Johnson, Chas. Spencer, Tom Horton, Morris, Buckingham, Reed, White, Wilkinson, Barnes, Shellabarger, Armstrong, Brewster, Hogeboom, Esterley, Voorhis, Johnston, DeCamp, McCague, Rankin, Gilmore and Kroh.

It was decided that there should be a meeting of the society to-night. All who possibly can are requested to be present. Visitors welcome.
