The first game of ball was played last Saturday, between the Betas and Sigma Chis. The Betas were to play the Phi Delts but the Phis failed to come out. The score stood 24 to 10 in favor of Sigma Chis at the end of the ninth inning. Suga-reax, umpire.

A very small number attended last Friday. Nevertheless, there was a good program, such as Orophilian generally has. The following program was rendered: Essays, Whitaker and Swank; declamation, Caywood; extemporaneous, Street. After recess the time was taken up by the debate, on the question, "Resolved, That trusts are detrimental to the best interests of the people." Cone and Sloan took the affirmative and Stebbins and Squires the negative. There will be an excellent program this afternoon. No matter if there is no election let everyone attend and be instructed.

Do not fail to attend the meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society this afternoon. Everybody invited. A good program will be rendered.
Athenaeum met last Friday at the usual time and place. Owing to the drawing lecture at the same hour, some of the members were not present at roll call, but arrived soon afterward. The Society is well attended, its membership increasing and the interest manifested is surprising. The program rendered was a credit to the participants and to the University. In the current event essay, written upon the "Late Vacation," the writer maintained, not without argument, that the vacation resulted in detriment to the students. The members of the Society all being students, had little to say against vacations.
Athenaeum.
A lively debate ensued, upon the question, "Resolved, That education has done as much for civilization as Christianity," in which both sides were well sustained.
Athenæum meets every Friday at
3 p. m. Doors open and everybody invited, N.W.M.
Phi Delta Theta.
The reception given by the Phi Delts in the A. O. U. W. hall last Friday evening, was a most enjoyable affair. Dancing and social conversation occupied the evening until about 11 o'clock when supper was served in the hall by Harris. A few toasts were responded to and an extremely amusing original farce called "An Original Instance or Spiking in Old Athens" was presented.
The presence of some Kansas City alumni Phis and several of the correspondent members of this chapter added to the pleasure of the party. Dancing to the music of the Mandolin Club was continued until a late hour.
Those present were: Mrs. T. S. Ridge, of Kansas City; Miss Curtiss, of Fulton, Mo., Mrs. Prof. McDonald, Misses Rudolph, Gertrude Crotty, Thrasher, Pickering, Henshaw, Taggart, Millie Crotty, Simpson, Atwood, Scott, Bartell, Price, Chapman, Fincher, Sutliff, Bistline, O'Bryan, Lizzie Wilder, Love, McFarland, Franklin, Hoadley, Kate Wilder, Manley, McKinnon, Wemple, Walker, Howe; Mr. T.

Law.
As the time for graduation draws near, the Senior is often accosted by curious inquirers, who, with an affected recognition of the superiority of the member approached, ask whom he considers the second smartest man in the class. Or, "Will A. B. or B. C. make a successful lawyer?" For one to answer these questions compels him to go into an analysis of the various members of his class which is rather a delicate matter and may be only approximated at best. Here we judge them as they are, quick and ready to respond, reticent and stammering, or able to marshall their thoughts and frame the mind to be obedient to the occasion; or, by the scenes of legal gladiatorship in moot courts and Kent Clubs where intellect meets intellect and generates the latent sparks of genius. But when the student has quited these scenes of defeat and triumph and the incentives and excitement have subsided, and he enters upon the practice of his profession,
and begins the real battle or life, the struggle with men, who can foreshadow the result? It may be that the one, who will now be pointed out to you as the probable "failure" of the class, will disappear for a time into seeming obscurity, only to rise again above the surface, amid the applause of the populace, while the smart fellow will sit in his office from day to day, a very common advocate and between the times of his briefs which may be likened to angels' visits, indulge in day dreams of success in the future which never comes. And still another who would have been portrayed to you as the least worthy of honors, may, by means of family connections, accident, or opportunity, outshine them all.
The Courier was a little previous in announcing Judge Nevison's decision which was not delivered until last week. His decision, which was in favor of the Seniors, was to the effect that Congress has power to grant a privilege to bridge the Kansas River.
The board of regents, at their last meeting, granted the Law Department a day in commencement week, Tuesday, and the laws, instead of having a representative on collegiate's day and a class day, will have a commencement of their own. Six appointments will be made by the faculty from the Senior class.
The Kent Club, at its meeting Thursday night, on account of extra work among the Seniors, adjourned until September next.
Prof. Summerfield was called, on Monday by telegram, to the bedside of an uncle who was reported as dying at Litchfield, Illinois.
Prof. Herbert B. Adams, of Johns Hopkins University, writes to Prof. Canfield, acknowledging receipt of photograph of the class in Constitutional and Political History, and of the circular lately issued, setting forth the work of the Department of Political Science. "Thanks for the seminary photograph, which I shall exhibit to my seminary this night. Your scheme of work strikes me as first-rate." Similar expressions of approval have been received from other and recognized authorities in methods of historical study.

Class day should be done away with. The exercises are getting decidedly stale and wearisome, and very few of the students really enjoy them. The class history and prophesy always create hard feeling, and there is no instance on record of a senior shedding a tear over the dissolution of his dear class, as depicted by the valedictorian; for the graduates are generally only too glad to get out into the world away from the University. So little class spirit is manifested in K. S. U. that a class day is quite uncalled for. Away with it. Let the Ann Arbor plan of inviting some prominent speaker to occupy the time be adopted. In this way a lecture, interesting and instructive to all, would be substituted for a number of short, funny (?) speeches which are always more or less tiresome, both to the people and the students themselves.
