Local.
Quite a number of new books belonging in the engineering alcove have been added to the library recently.
Prof. Marvin is card-cataloguing the engineering books in the library and has recently placed in the card cases about 2,000 cards.
The art department is preparing for its exhibition of work for the close of the year. This is an innovation and we hope it will prove a success.
Prof. Blake introduced the Hon. Thomas Nelson, Tuesday evening, Mr. Blake was acquainted with Mr. Nelson in Indiana.
Dyche has finished his work on the buffalo cow. We now have two as fine specimens of taxidermical art as can be seen anywhere.
The Sophomore engineers are at work on a railway line joining the Santa Fe and Carbondale roads, which will include a tunnel through the hill back of the University.
A number of the Betas and their friends had a very pleasant hop in the halls of the fraternity last Friday evening. Those present were: Misses Webster, Margie Brown, Morris, Pickering, Price, Crotty, Wemple, Levy, Lyons, Buzzzell, Henshaw, Bartell, Harrison; Messrs. Johnston, Whitman, Fullerton, Morris, F. E. Reed, Buckingham, W. T. Reed, Jacobs, Watson, Kroh, Pickering, Beebe, Lewis.
If there is any one thing more disgusting than another to an audience of intelligent people, it is the petty sniggering and snickering of persons who think that they perceive something unusual or queer in a speaker's manner or remarks. Unfortunately there seems to be a number of students afflicted with the "smiles," as a Lawrence audience which recently assembled to hear a noted lecturer, can testify. A display of meaningless smiles and smirks is not only embarrassing to the speaker, but certainly reflects very little credit on the smilers.
Tuesday evening Hon. Thomas Nelson, of Indiana, ex-minister to Chili and Mexico, lectured in University Hail. His subject, Mexico, was well treated. The part of the lecture considering the political growth and present condition of the country was, perhaps, more interesting than the descriptive portion, but the lecture, as a whole, was well liked. A very good audience considering the bad weather was in attendance. After the lecture, a reception was given Mr. Nelson by the faculty.
Unity Club gives its annual dramatic entertainment at the opera house next Friday, April 27. This
Annual Entertainment of Unity Club.
entertainment is always looked forward to as the dramatic event of the season and the Club will sustain its reputation this year without a doubt. Last year every seat in the house was sold before the evening of the play and a more thoroughly delighted audience never filled the opera house.
The romantic lyric drama of King
Rene's Daughter will be given with
a cast that cannot be excelled, as
will be seen from the following:
King Rene...JohnV. Zerby.
Count Tristan, of Vandemon...
...A. R. Marsh.
Sir Geoffrey, of Orange, (his friend)
...A. Levy.
Sir Almeric...C. E. Harbaugh.
EBN Jahia (a moorish leech)...
...M. Skyb.
Bertrand...Chas. Chadwick.
Iolanthe (the Blind Daughter of
King Rene). Miss Josie Hutchings.
Martha (wife of Bertrand))...
Mrs. H. L. Schaum. This will be followed by a laughable farce, "The Breach of Promise" by Robertson, author of "David Garrick," "Caste," "School," etc. The parts in this will be taken by members of the Club and others with Zerby, Skyb, Levy and Mrs. Schaum in the principal roles. The various social events will, doubtless, be postponed next Friday so that all may have an opportunity of attending this entertainment, and from the well-known reputation of the Club it is safe to say that it will receive a cordial welcome from the students of K. S. U.
Law.
Prof. Green was in Kansas City, Saturday.

Rice, Harbaugh, and Palmer took in the great dance at Kansas City Saturday.
The Juniors had their 'profile took' on Tuesday. French was the only man in town who dared undertake it and he consented only on account of the two Professors who formed a part of the group.
spokesman, made the presentation to which he responded in such a feeling manner as to make the boys feel that, indeed, it was more blessed to give than to receive.
The Laws are to have Tuesday in commencement week, the Kansas City orchestra, six numbers on the program, an able address in the evening, a general good time and the best day in the whole week.
"The faculty appointed J. W. Roberts and S.T.Gilmore to appear on the program for the commencement day of the law department. The appointments meet with general satisfaction on all hands. The Seniors will elect the other representatives.-Lawrence Journal.
The two classes showed their appreciation of Judge Nevison's services by presenting him with a silk hat. A committee from the two classes called upon the Judge, Monday afternoon, and J. W. Roberts as
The Seniors tried to elect the remainder of the commencement program after the faculty had made the appointments but failing to agree among themselves, the faculty took the matter in hand and appointed the following members: Oration, S. P. King; thesis, Harbaugh; discussion, Rice and Pearls. These are all strong men and will render a program well worth having.

Orophilian
Orophilian Society was well attended last Friday, and presented an unusually fine program. Those deserving mention were Miss Funk, Messrs. Bear, F. E. Reed and Wilmoth. By invitation, Prof. Carruth delivered an interesting lecture before the Society on the subject of "The Value of Literary Societies." During the lecture he said that it was a fact worthy of comment and to the credit of the societies that the graduates of this institution who are best known throughout the State, were, during their college course, active members of the literary societies. Also that he did not think, as was generally supposed, that the faculty were indifferent toward society work. But, that if they were asked to encourage the same by a personal request from the society, rather than through the University papers they would undoubtedly show their interest by their presence and willingness to take part in the programs.
The society, acting upon these suggestions, invited Prof. Marsh to deliver a lecture and he has kindly consented to do so. He will lecture this afternoon on the subject, "Harvard Literary Societies." Ed. Franklin will favor the society with a solo. All students, as well as their friends, are cordially invited to be present and receive the benefit of the excellent program prepared for this afternoon.
Last Saturday seemed to be a fine day for playing ball. In the morning a game was played between the rival boarding clubs at the corner of Ohio and Adams street. At the end of the ninth inning the score was 36 to 18 in favor of Monroe club; time 2:13. Cunkle, umpire. In the afternoon a game was played between two picked nines. The first nine was picked by Hogeboom and the second by Bowersock. The game was won by Bowersock's nine with a score of 22 to 21. On account of the bad condition of the grounds the players did not do themselves justice.
Athenaeum had a political fight last Friday. One seeing it would have thought Reed had revived and that Bennett was lecturing.
The first nine are to be uniformed. Oh, that thirteen mile picnic!
The so-called first nine will now have to take a back seat.
A large number of students attended Booth and Barrett last Friday at Topeka.
The Sigma Chi alumni, at Kansa City, give a banquet this evening and organize an Alumni Chapter.
Prof. Marsh will deliver a lecture on "Literary Societies at Harvard" at Orophilian this afternoon. Let everyone come.
The Phi Delt alumni, of Kansas City, expect to give a banquet to the Chapters of Eta Province the first week of June.
At the base ball meeting Monday the following were elected members of the first nine: DeFord, Jackson, Hogeboom, Britton, Voorhis, Campbell, Allen, Canfield, Harvey and Taylor; Bill and Kellogg were named as substitutes. This is a very good nine but there will be a second nine that will give the first plenty of practice and we are of the opinion will be very near the better of the two nines.
Next Thursday evening Rev.A. A. Willets will deliver the last lecture of the course given by the ladies of Plymouth Church. His subject is "Sunshine." The ladies who have had charge of this course deserve the praise of the public for the unusually good lecturers they have secured this winter and Mr. Willets is certainly up to the standard. Let the students show their appreciation of a good thing when it comes, and go and hear him.
Hon. J. F. Billings, of Clay Center, Hon. C. R. Mitchell, of Geuda Springs, Hon. C. W. Smith, of Stockton and Hon. Joshua Wheeler, of Atchison county, were in the city yesterday en route from Lawrence, having attended the meeting of the regents of the State University. Mr. Billings is the new member of the board, succeeding Prof. Fitzpatrick, of Leavenworth. In the organization of the board M. P. Simpson, of McPherson, was elected vice president and C. S. Gleed, of Topeka, secretary. Mr. Templin, assistant in mathematics, was granted leave of absence for one year. He goes to Berlin for the purpose of study.
Mr. Billings, the new member of the board, is a graduate of Ann Arbor University. In conversation with a Capital reporter yesterday he said: "I believe the State University of Kansas can be made just such an institution as the University of Michigan. Our University is certainly making gratifying progress; its management is able, its faculty is very good, and I believe the progressive state of Kansas will make the University equal to almost any educational institution in the country." Topeka Capital.
