Wouldn't it be a good scheme for the boys to have a meeting and talk up field day matters?
The "Doughnuts" came up to play ball Monday but their ardor was somewhat dampened.
Several of the Profs. excused their classes Friday to give the boys a chance to talk to the young ladies (?).
Some of the boys must be greatly in love with fishing, judging from the big strings of fish (?) they carry home with them.

After dinner the Water Works, the Woodland Avenue Cable Engine House, the Electric Lightning Station and the Corle's Cracker Factory were visited and looked through. The excursionists spent an exceedingly pleasant and profitable day.
Prof. Blake is a very pleasing as a lecturer, his descriptions being interspersed with pleasant and humorous anecdotes. The large audience received the lecture most kindly and departed well. pleased.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
Langworthy was in Leavenworth last week. We missed his smile.
Pharmacy.
Scott, of the Juniors, leaves for Florence, Kan., next Tuesday. He will return again next year.
Britton and Morris went to Baldwin last Saturday in search of flowers. They report that they enjoyed their walk.
Several of the pharmacy boys, while in Kansas City, found out that drug clerks do not wear white aprons. Ask McClaren and Armstrong what it means.
Several of the Seniors, while in Kansas City, took in the base ball game. In the next game here we may expect some fine plays from them.
The Pharmaceutical Society did not hold a meeting last Friday afternoon because of the meeting of the Science Club at Mr. Savage's. Do not fail to be present this afternoon
Albach surprised the professor and the Junior class by exclaiming in the middle of the recitation, "Professor, the sun is drawing water!" "Is that so? Well, I like to look at Nature," replied the professor. A recess of five minutes was given to view the wonderful phenomenon.
Our Dean made a trip to the Capital Monday.
McClinton spent Sunday and Monday at the penitentiary in Lansing.
Law.
W. H. Rossington, of Topeka, will deliver the address before the law classes. Mr. Rossington is said to be a very interesting speaker.
E. S. Rice will accept a position in his home county at a salary of one hundred dollars per month.
The bar of the city have extended an invitation to the Kent Club to be present at the memorial services of Chief Justice Waite.
Howard A. Peairs has purchased the furniture, good will, part of the library, etc., of the law office of Vernon H. Harris, and after graduation will enter at once upon the practice of his profession in the city where he has lived for the past eleven years, received the most of his education, and become known as a young man of persistent application, careful business habits and strict integrity. We predict for him the success which his many friends feel he merits.
A. G. Hagar, of the Juniors, has severed his connections with the Evening Tribune and will now devote himself exclusively to law. A. G. is known in newspaper circles as a rustler and no doubt will make a like reputation in the law. He will enter the office of George S. Barker.
It was not modesty, as was suggested by the editor of the COURIER two weeks since, that kept the law correspondent from naming the position to which himself and another had been appointed, for said correspondent was never known to be backward when any manifestation of cheek would be favorable to himself. He understood at the time, and has since had that understanding confirmed by the Dean of the department, that there is to be no salutatorian nor valedictorian. It is a law commencement and not a class day exercise. In the collegiate department salutatorian and valedictorian are elected by the class and not appointed by the faculty, and it is the same in the law, and position on the law commencement program means no more than position on the collegiate commencement program. There have been no examinations whatever as yet, and therefore no class standing has been determined.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 11, 1888.
Last Friday afternoon the first joint program ever given by Athenæum and Orophilian literary societies was given in Orophilian Hall. Notwithstanding the exciting game of ball at the park the hall was crowded, a great many chairs from the drawing room being utilized to accommodate the audience.
Athenaeum turned out in mass to encourage its performers, showing its customary zeal.
Athenaeum—Orophilian
T. F. Doran, having been chosen chairman by the committees of the two societies, in a few chosen remarks thanked the societies for the honor conferred upon him.
Music was furnished by some of K. S. U's best musical talent—Miss Ropes, Messrs. Manning, Hair and Hodge.
No.34.
The literary program was good and as follows: Declamation, Miss Newlin, of Orophilian. Her theme was the heroine of a frontier settlement and was clearly rendered.
D. R. Brown, of Athenaeum, followed with an oration on the negro problem. His oration was full of radical and original ideas and was well given.
Miss Humicutt, of Atheneum, came next with one of her matchless declamations. She gave a marriage scene and the introduction of wine gave a very touching scene which was admirably rendered.
W. T. Reed, of Orophilian, followed with an oration on "Devils." The speaker introduced his remarks by stating that he had chosen a subject of interest to all, and the way his oration was received was convincing evidence.
Then followed a social season or fifteen minutes which was enjoyed by all.
A debate on the question, "Resolve, That The Mills tariff bill should become a law," was presented; affirmative, Rolston and Caywood, of Orophilian, and denied by Mushrush and Stout, of Athenaeum. The affirmative endeavored to prove the
bill necessary from the point of the surplus and a general benefit to the United States, while the negative endeavored to prove the bill a thrust at protection, the surplus not menacing, and the bill a campaign document, and therefore to be defeated. Each speaker occupied fifteen minutes and then was stopped in the middle of a sentence by the tap of the bell.
The audience remained during the entire program, a proof of its excellence.
This meeting demonstrated the fact that joint programs are successful as giving an impetus to literary work, and it is to be hoped that more just such programs will follow.
Athenaum holds its last meeting for the year this afternoon and everyone of its members is requested to be present. S.
When K. S. U. was challenged by Baker to a game of ball, it was supposed that the nines would be composed entirely of students from the two Universities, but behold when Baker came up last Monday, only three or four "Doughnuts" could be found in their nine, the other players having been picked up in Baldwin City and elsewhere. The Bakers have been beaten in every game played so far, therefore, they must be afraid of being beaten again, or why should they hire a lot of players.
The Junior class held a meeting Monday at 1 o'clock to elect officers and hat speech orator. The following officers were chosen: Pres., V. L. Kellogg; secretary, Mamie Manley; treasurer, E. E. Squires; prophet, Anna McKinnon; poet, Mamie Manley; historian, Hattie Fellows; master of athletics, W. W. Davis; sergeant at arms, Kate Merrill. Geo. W. Dick was selected to deliver the hat speech on class day. A committee was appointed to petition the faculty for certain arrangements in Senior work.
The regular meeting of the Science Club last Friday was, by invitation, held at the residence of Jos. Savage. The program, consisting of a paper on alkaloids by Prof. Sayre, report of Aitkins' experiment on dust-particles by Prof. Snow, notes on a Kansas mineral by Prof. Bailey and various discussions, was a good one. After adjournment the Club partook of an excellent supper, supplied by the hospitable hosts. Their delightful residence is a favorite resort of the Club, and is made very pleasant by the kind-heartedness of Mr. and Mrs. Savage.
Everyone should go down to Baldwin to-morrow with the ball club, for we expect to win; and besides, they "have it in for us." You should also go to the Eldridge House Pharmacy, and look through the fine line of toilet articles, brushes, perfumery, etc. They are also "sole agents" for Gunther's Chicago Meade, the best in the world.
