About fifty boys and several young ladies went down to Baldwin City to see the game of ball last Saturday.
The U and I social held at the congregational church last week was well attended, and, judging from the way eatables disappeared, must have been enjoyed.
Last Saturday K. S. U. again defeated Baker in a game of ball. In the first inning K. S. U. only succeeded in scoring one, while Baker scored seven; but at the end of the second inning the score was a tie. During the rest of the game the K. S. U. boys gained steadily. The boys did exceedingly well considering the grounds they had to play on.
Last week, thinking our Law correspondent knew better than we, we allowed an item in his department, stating that the first and last positions on the Law program implied no especial honor. Since our last issue, in a conversation with the Dean of the Law Department, we were informed by him that while he had not fully decided whether the titles Salutatorian and Valedictorian shall attach or not, still the first and last positions on Law day were given with the idea of second and first honors respectively and should always be so in
his department. He also expressed some surprise that our correspondent should have failed to understand this at the time the appointments were made. It seems to us the reason may be that he received only second honors.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 18, 1888.
Last Friday evening Dr. and Mrs. Lippincott, assisted by their niece Miss Josie Cook, entertained the faculty and the seniors at their pleasant home on Kentucky street. The occasion had been looked forward to with anticipation of pleasure by the seniors and their expectations were fully realized. The guests assembled at an early hour. Nearly all of the members of the faculty and their wives were present and there was hardly a senior absent. The early part of the evening was spent in conversation. All thoughts of the labor of the class room and the terrors of coming examinations were laid aside, and both professors and students gave themselves up to the fullest enjoyment. At a later hour elegant refreshments were served, and as the clock struck the hour of midnight the guests departed to their homes. The reception was a thoroughly pleasant affair in every respect, and one which will long be remembered by every one present.
The long looked for game of base ball between the faculty and the seniors came off last Saturday. Quite a large crowd of people gathered to witness it, and judging from the frequent bursts of enthusiasm it was highly appreciated. The playing of Prof. Marsh on second base was especially noticeable, and the ease and dispatch with which he disposed of some of the seniors was remarkable. But the base running of Prof. Snow was the chief feature of the game. As the Professor stole base after base from the disheartened seniors, the air was rent by rounds of applause from the crowded grand stand. Prof. Will Franklin's compound runs to short stop and second base were also highly interesting.
Notwithstanding the excellent playing and hard batting of the faculty, they were, of course, no match for the class of '88. The venerable seniors "did 'em up" by a score of 27 to 15.
During the game there were several heart and cltohes rending incidents, but no more perhaps than ought to have been expected. The wonderful acrobatic feat of the faculty's first baseman on the
senior second baseman and first base, and the brilliant one-handed catch of Prof. Snow on third brought tears to every eye. Sunday the members of both the faculty and senior nines remained in their rooms quietly engaged in solemn and ardent devotion to the arnica bottle, but Monday some of them were again seen in the halls. The only regret that the seniors now have over the game is, that examinations were not over before it happened. The

The Junior class, last Thursday, headed by Profs. Sayre and Carruth, walked to Blue Mound in search of botanical specimens. They then went on to Sibley, and as they went too early for train they engaged in a game of ball. They reached Lawrence on the evening train, and stopped at Raymond's who set up the mead. All report a fine time.
Rankin, after feeding his cat last Tuesday with the poisoned meat, let it escape up the flue. They had quite a time trying to get it to come down.
Athenaeum.
Attenuation held the last regular session of the year last Friday. Owing to some misunderstanding in regard to a notice placed on the bulletin board, the society did not convene till 8:30; at that time a fair representation of the members were present.
The program was out of the regular order, Prof. Marsh having been secured to give a lecture before the society.
His subject was, Latin Metre.
His subject was, Latin Metre. The speaker prefaced his remarks with the statement that the shape of a person's shoes, cut of his coat and cut of his hair justly portrays the culture of the wearer.
Then beginning with the first bit of Latin poetry and tracing it on through the time of Lucretius and Cutullus, he showed how the
culture of the people appeared in the poetry of their time.
The speaker interspersed his remarks with pleasant explanations, so that we were sorry he had to close before reaching the time of the more modern Latin writers.
Music was furnished by Prof. and Mrs. Carruth, which the society greatly enjoyed.
The current events discussion was upon "Ingall's reply to Voorhes," and was very spirited.
The society adjourns for the year in good working order, and we feel no apprehensions in stating that we predict for it a prosperous year in '88 and '89. S.

LAST Tuesday evening the faculty and students had a rare treat in the way of a lecture by Rev. Jesse Young, of Kansas City, subject, "The Echoes from Round Top, or the Story of a Great Battle," the battle of Gettysburg. He related the events of the second northern invasion by the army of Northern Virginia, vividly described the great three days battle, and paid a splendid tribute to the soldiers of both armies, saying that their friendly meeting a short while ago on the field of Gettysburg was quite as great as the memorable one in July, 1863. Mr. Young has a very clear, full voice, and was distinctly heard in every part of the hall. In spite of the threatening aspect of the weather he was greeted with the largest audience that has assembled in the University chapel this year.
