UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
The half-term examination took place this week.

The meeting of the Political Science Reading Club, which would have been held to-morrow, had there been no vacation, has been postponed one week.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 30, 1888.
Some sportive students evidently had a "tare" Tuesday night, or else the Regents have decided to change the observatory into the long-wished for green house.
The members of the class in Constitutional and Political History enjoyed a rich treat in the form of a lecture on John Quincy Adams by Prof. J. H. Canfield, last Monday.
Pears, King, Gilmore and Harbaugh are the four depressed spirits of the class this week, on account of a little circumstance which happened at last session of Moot Court in which Dr. Summerfield played Wolf and the boys were fleeced.
It is to be sincerely hoped that none of the Freshmen or sub-Freshmen will attempt bathing in the river during the vacation. The water is still quite chilly and some of them might catch their "death o" cold."
The I. C's have sent a communication to the other societies of the K. S. U. proposing an arrangement by which all parties should pledge themselves to abstain from pledging, asking or "rushing" girls until after a specified time.
Judge W. W. Nevison delivered a lucid and ably written opinion in the case argued before him two weeks since, and highly complimented the members participating for the manner in which they had prepared the case, as shown by points presented and numerous authorities cited to sustain them.
The Department of Physics has been the prime mover in the organization of "The University Telegraph Club." And thanks to the active interest shown by the Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company, and by Mr. James H. Hill, Superintendent of the Southern Kansas Telegraph systems, a line has been put into operation connecting the University and Western Union offices with the following subscribers:
The ladies held a meeting, Tuesday and organized a tennis club. The following are the members: Mrs. Hattie McDonald, Misses Effie Scott, Nellie Franklin, Gertie and Nettie Crotty, Emma and Ella Bartell, Springer, Simpson, Sutliff, Mc Kinnon, Buckingham, Bistline, Merrill, Chapman and Edith and Mamie Manley.
Chemical Building; Snow Hall; Physics Department; Prof. L. I. Blake, residence; Prof. E. H. S. Bai-
ly, res.; Prof. L. E. Sayre, res.: Prof. A.G. Canfield, res.; Prof. F. H. Snow, res.; Chancellor J. A. Lippincott, res.; Superintendent E. F. Crocker, res.; W. S. Franklin; E. C. Franklin; Miss Nellie Franklin; E. W. Caldwell, E. F. Simpson; W. H. Reynolds; F. B. Miller.
The object the Physics Department have in view, aside from the convenience of telegraphic communication with the Western Union offices and subscribers, is to have a line of sufficient length to admit of practical tests on Insulation, Conductivity, etc., which are very necessary in a practical course in Electrical Engineering.
Astronomical work will also be facilitated by telegraphic communication with the Western Union system.
The constitution provides for a monthly assessment of fifteen cents, justly relieving the department of the expense of maintenance. It provides also that the property pertaining to the line, except private instruments, shall belong to the department.
The officers at present are: Prof. L. I. Blake, president; W. S. Franklin, secretary and treasurer; L. I. Blake, chairman ex-officio, E. W. Caldwell and F. B. Miller, board of directors; W. H. Reynolds, superintendent.
The number of offices is limited to twenty-five and it requires a recommendation from the board of directors and the consent of two-thirds of the subscribers to admit a new member.
Law.
L. A. Stebbins has placed a copy of the "Compiled Laws of Kansas" in the law library for the use of the students for the remainder of the term. If future classes are as enterprising as the present Junior class, the department will have a library whether they succeed in getting contributions from the State or not.
Geiger, of the Juniors, has been unwell for several days and in consequence thereof he left, Monday, for home and will not return this year. McClinton accompanied him to Topeka.
There will be found upon the calendar of the next Kansas Legislature, a bill appropriating thirty thousand dollars for the erection of a building for the Law Department of the K.S. U.
Frank W. Harrington spent three days at Paola last week and, among other things and places of interest, he visited Ossawatomie, the asylum and John Brown's monument.
The students are all glad to welcome our Dean and see him again at his post of duty. Since his return the Seniors, according to their custom are enjoying the pleasure and profit of recitations from half past nine until twelve.
Two farmers in Nemaha county
pent nine years lawing over a calf; another in Atchison county gained the title to a pig, at a cost of $700. A suit arose in the latter county several years ago, involving the title to a certain piece of property. The suit ran its regular course of motions, dimmurrers, pleas, disagreements, new trials and appeals, until the plaintiff died, when the suit was prosecuted by his heirs, until the defendant died, causing still further delays, when it was taken up by his heirs and dragged along until the attorneys engaged in it began to drop out of practice, one of them now being United States Senator from Kansas, another United States Circuit Judge, another on the Supreme Bench of this State, and the other long since retired from practice is the honored regent of the K. S. U. from Atchison, while the case goes marching on, or rather dragging on, through the Supreme Court and the title to the land remains tied up awaiting the final decision. The Hillman case has been nine years in the courts with a prospect of five more before it is finally determined. The members of the Kent Club propose to inaugurate some system for reforming these "law delays" at their next meeting.
The Kent Club will devote one evening to memorallizing the late Chief Justice.
The members of the classes are unanimously in favor of Thomas H. Cooley, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, for Chief Justice and have decided to so instruct the President. One wire manipulator hung out for some time for Geo.W. Glick, of Kansas, but finally waived objections, on being promised the support of the class, for postmaster at a cross roads in Brown county.
The commencement appointments have not, as yet, been made but we understand they will be soon, when final arrangements will be made for that anxiously awaited occasion.
The selection of E. C. Little as chairman of the convention this morning was a happy and auspicious beginning. The choice could not have been better. Mr. Little is one of the brightest young republicans in the State. He represents a great district in the State, residing in the center of the western half of Kansas. He has a wide acquaintance, is a good parliamentarian, a representative young Kansan. The choice has our heartiest endorsement.—State Journal.
Notes From the State Republican Convention.
T. F. Doran, of Council Grove, a graduate of the State University, is another young man who is pushing to the front. He made a very creditable address in nominating Mr. Miller for president.-Topeka Capital.
