The harmony and brotherly love existing between the different fraternities of the University this year should, in some way, find expression. Now is the accepted time for a grand fraternity love-feat. Boom a panhellenic convention and banquet.
L. U.HUMPHREY has been elected Governor of Kansas. He has always been a friend of the University, and as such the Courier rejoices in his election.
From time to time the University papers have urged the importance of having a course of first-class lectures, but so far their efforts in this direction have been barren of results. If the faculty will not interest themselves in this matter, why can not the students exhibit a little enterprise, and arrange for a course? This has been done successfully in other colleges, and can be done here, if the students, regardless of any factional spirit, will enter heartily into the scheme. Try it.
There has been some talk of a foot ball team, but as yet nothing definite has been done in regard to organization. We have lots of material. Let some enthusiast take hold of it.
The Oratorical Association share holders will consult the arbitrating committee again to-day.
Philological Club.
Philological Club.
The Club met last Friday evening in the Greek room. The treasurer reporting a considerable surplus on hand, a part of it was ordered to be spent in the purchase of three periodicals for the library, a classical, a modern literature, and a general literary periodical. It was decided also that hereafter the meetings of the Club should alternate with those of the Political Science club.
The first paper was one by Prof Robinson on Burns' recent work of "Roman Literature in relation to Roman Art." The high ideal of the Greek artist in executing a portrait statute or bust was contrasted with the exact resemblance required in Roman art. This indicated the inferiority of Roman art. Mr. Burns implication, however, that Roman writers were especially fond of making their characters express emotion be means of the features, and that this was a wrong tendency in literature, was considered neither correct in fact nor wrong in tendency. Neither ought the choice of national subjects by Roman writers and sculptors be regarded as wrong, nor the cause of imperfections in their art. The real cause was much more radical. The Romans had very little if any, real art spirit. The sense of artistic proportion and arrangement was strangely wanting. This was shown by reference to many authors and works of art. How the early simplicity of Greco-Roman art was complicated and destroyed by such external influences as world-wide sway, exhorbitant wealth and luxurious refinement, was also shown by citing instances of the degeneracy of both literature and sculpture. The self indulgence and luxury of the imperial times is shown by the fondness for smoothness and technical finish to the sacrafic of great motive ideas. In architecture the Romans often did great work, but generally ruined the artistic effect by attaching to their noblest structures a variety of Greek ornaments without architectural meaning. Mr. Burn's book illustrates one of the faults of most Roman work. It is good in parts, but lacks artistry proportion
Prof. Wilcox then spoke of a new history of Greece by Evelyn Abbot , a work about half-way between the manual and the scholar's history. It gains much room for text by omitting very largely the notes which show the methods by which conclusions are arrived at. It shows acquaintance with the latest books and periodicals. Though not touching upon every element that went to make up Greek civilization, it traces the most important ones from their origin on. Considerable space is devoted to literature and religious festivals, and some to art. The chapters on Homer and Hesiod in relation to history are excellent. This is but the first volume of two or three, and comes down only to 500 B.C.
Miss Edith Manley gave some notes on the dative case, suggested by a study of the ethical dative. The discussion that followed was interrupted by the arrival of the hour for adjournment.
The following, from the Colby Echo, will double less be read with interest by the members of the class on tariff legislation:
Political Economy Applied.
Jumping over the wall on the sly,
I stole a few kisses, you know.

And I frankly informed her so.
And I frankly informed her so.
My doctrine was Free Trade, I said,
As I took half-a-dozen more.
But she cried for Protection and fled
To her home, and bolted the door.
To her home, and outside the door,
Now paws, with the bull dog, stands guard.
Lecture in the Art Department.

Monopoly's creature and spy,
And I do not dare venture at large,
The Tarif's too fierce and too high.
Mr. B.W. Woodward, well known in art circles in Lawrence, will give a talk on art in the rooms of the Art Department of the University this evening at 7:30 p.m. Miss Simpson, as head of this department, assisted by Miss Parker, is doing much for the advancement of its interests. Especially is she to be commended for securing good lectures, a plan which might be very profitably taken up and carried out in the other departments, not to speak of the University as a whole. The scarcity, or rather the want of good lectures in K.S.U. is a crying one. Let all who are interested in art lend the encouragement of their presence this evening.
The "Perpetual in America" is the subject of the winning oration in the state oratorical contest in Illinois. The orator, F. W. Wheeler, in the course of the address says: "The genius of nationality typified in our Federal Constitution is the value of the individual man. Man as an individual sovereign is a character unknown to history; but when the federal constitution sprang forth from the chaos of revolution, he that had been a mere atom in the tide of empire became a personal impulse in the destiny of the world. In monarchy man is inert, passive. In federal unity he becomes an active, dynamical element, and the nation's heart throbs with the energy of individual life. Oh, what a paradox does history present! Man, created in the image of God, is too royal to become a bon-main! The image of divinity should walk proudly, erect Mind—noble in reason—infinite in faculty—should be unfettered by ignorance. Knowledge should be man's hereditage. Philosophy should add wisdom, and Science lend him power. The spirit unchanged should expand in the sunlight of eternal truth. for thought has gilded pinions, and its flight should be among the stars. That individual man is the unit—the epitome—of our national life. Upon his character is based an American empire. The character chastened and purified in the crucible of eighteen centuries is the pure, original fountain whence flow the streams of national power. That character comprehends the nation's destiny. In its exaltation is life. In its debasement, death. That individual character, tempered in wisdom, exalted in power, sublimated in its destiny, crowned with its infinite meaning, is the living essence—the eternal element—the perpetual in America.
A Kiss in a Canoe.
The maiden sat in a light canoe,
Afloat on a mountain lake;
And a mad idea shot wildly through
The brain of her lover (who sat there,
too)
too) That be, in that self same light canoe,
A stolen kiss would take.
Now the maiden sat there, unaware
Of the plot that he had hatched;
And fanned her cheek,and her brow so fair,
As she sat there still, quite unaware
Of the kiss soon to be snatched.
Then the lover awaited a real good chance
To capture the longed-for kiss.
To capture the longed-for kiss.
When, watching the wimpling wave-
lets dance.
She turned her head with a quick, shy glance,
And leaning back, she gave him a chance
So he bent to meet her, and tried to steal
That was really too good to miss.
The kiss that he burned to get,
But he bent so quick, in his ardent zeal.
That the craft upset like a whirling wheel,
And he missed the kiss that he tried to steal,
And they both got very wet.

Since graduation Mr. Smith has been engaged in the practice of law in this city, where he is well and favorably known among the members of the bar."
