LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 24, 18
Han Smith spent Sunday in Kansas City, Kan.
The local department of this paper thanks very much Mr.J. J.W.Roberts and Mr.J.W. Root, for the assistance given in gaining news from the Law and Pharmacy departments.
Go to the Opera House and hear a "Bunch of Keys" to-night. It will drive dull care away.
The University Telegraph Club met in room No. 11, on Monday, at 1 o'clock, and adopted its constitution and by-laws and transacted other business.
On account of the nice weather the boys couldn't wait for the mud to dry up, but play ball just as if it was dry. We should think that it would be better to wait awhile.
A. G. Arnold, of Kansas City, Kan., was shown over the U. of K. last Tuesday, by R. E. Kroh.
Prof. Marsh has so completely "done up" the advanced composition class, on their first compositions, that they are almost afraid to say anything again.
Mr. Starret, the University carpenter, is making some pedestals for the statuary in the Greek room.
The poles for the electric wires, between the engine house and the other buildings, have been set up. The wires for a telephone and the water tank signal will be strung at once.
Hoadley and Smith have opened a drug store in the Eldridge House block. They have a fair stock of drugs, toilet articles, perfumes and everything in their line. Trade with them.
One hundred and forty-four volumes just received from the State bindery for the use of the library.
The "Sleeping Car," which was performed at the Unity Club, last Friday and Saturday night, was a success in every respect. Prof. and Mrs. Carruth and W.E.Higgins, call for special attention on account of their acting. All was very good and the scenery very realistic.
Sam Jones:—Do you know what a dude is? I can tell you so you won't forget it. Did you ever wake up with a little white pimple on your face? It shows that the blood is out of order. A dude is a bump on the
Prof. Marsh has, this week, given to the library four volumes of Italian literature. These are the only works of that kind in the library. It is the foundation of a new course of study and we should like to see many more books come in to the same department and make it a success.
face of the body politic, and shows that the blood of society is in a bad condition. And a dudine is that bump squeezed. Something to be squeezed, you know.
Prof. McDonald's Bible class now numbers about twenty, and the interest is increasing. The special line of study is the "Life and teachings of Jesus." The professor has kindly placed many valuable reference books in his study for the use of the class, so that the lessons are very comprehensive and instructive.
The election of representatives for Athenaeum, for June program, passed off very quietly. The following ticket was unanimously elected: Orators, Miss Gertie Hummicutt and Mr. John Mushrush; Debaters, Stout and Riggs; Essayist, Miss Gregg; Declaration, Miss Rosa McMurray. The program was ably rendered. The attendance was the largest of the year.
A "Bunch of Keys," by the Sparks Company, is the attraction at the Opera House for Friday, Feb. 24. This play has been on the stage long enough to have won a reputation as the best of Hoyt's inimitable comedies. New incidents and new jokes have been introduced since it was last here, making it as fresh and sparkling as the time it was first presented.
On Wednesday, February 15, the University of Nebraska observed its Nineteenth Charter Day. Dr. Lippincott delivered the anniversary address, speaking upon the subject: "The State University a Logical Development of the American Public School System, and a Legitimate Part of it." It is pleasing to note the compliment which the U. of N. pays our worthy Chancellor, and through him our University.
One of the most interesting and instructive of the courses offered by the department of English, is the course in advanced composition. The class is an editorial staff, with Prof. Marsh as editor-in-chief, critic, collector, etc., etc. (Duties "two numerous to mention.") Short editorsials on some current topic are required to be written during the first fifteen minutes of the hour, and are afterwards criticised by the editor-in-chief, who "ruthlessly wages war" on favorite phrases, and clips wings when the metaphor "soars" too high. The future success of journalism is insured if the staff survives the "crucial test."

The talented and genial Thomas Bates, of Chicago, says that when the boys of K. S. U. Law Department want any assistance, which he can conveniently render, all they have to do is to let him know it.
PHI PSI ANNIVERSARY.
Last Tuesday evening the halls of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, in the opera house block, presented an unusually bright and hospitable appearance. At an early hour the gentlemen of the fraternity, with their lady friends and a number of invited guests began to assemble, and soon the spacious rooms were filled with the brightest and most beautiful of University circles. It would have been hardly possible for a happier or more congenial company to have been brought together in Lawrence, than that which last Tuesday evening celebrated the Twelfth Anniversary of the establishment of the Kansas Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi.
No. 23.
The early part of the evening was occupied by a musicale, the program of which was very creditably rendered in every particular. This is a new and pleasing feature in the entertainments given by the fraternities of K. S. U., and the society is to be congratulated, both upon the care and good taste which the program and its arrangement displayed and, also, upon the success with which it was carried out. Indeed it is doubtful if any other fraternity in Lawrence could present a program so varied and at the same time so creditable, with so little outside assistance.
The first selection, "Sans Souci," overture by Kaula, was very skillfully rendered by the Phi Psi Sextette. The sexette consists of: Messrs. Henry Nickel, who presides at the piano; O. B. Taylor, first clarinet; J.
M. Shellabarger, second olaraket; J.
A. Prescott, cornet; J. A. Mushrush,
second violin; under the leadership of
E. L. Swope, first violinist.
Miss Georgia Brown followed with a contralto solo, entitled "His Fame," by Mora. The solo was rendered in the charming style so characteristic of Miss Brown's singing, and received a hearty encore.
The next selection was a cornet solo by J. A. Presecott, "Adagio from the Septet," by Beethoven.
Miss Josie Hutchings' soprano solo "In the Night She Told a Story," by Mrs. C. F. Chickering, cannot be too highly complimented. Miss Hutchings' excellence as a singer is too well known to need any additional comment here. The encore which she received, and to which she responded, was very enthusiastic.
The violin solo by Earle L. Swope, entitled "Fantasia from Ernani," by Singelee, was rendered with the skill of a practiced and talented violinist. Henry Nickel played the accompaniment.
The next item on the program was "I Feel Thy Angel Spirit," by Hoffman. The selection was very beautiful, and the manner in which it was sung by Misses Hutchings and Brown was excellent indeed.
"Ah, So True," by Verdi, is the title of the violin duet by E. L. Swope and O.B. Taylor. The duett was played without piano accompaniment and without notes, and received, as it deserved, prolonged applause
The last selection upon the program was Jacobowski's "Ermine," by the Phi Psi Sextette.
After a short time spent in conversation the company adjourned to the rooms of the Young Men's Republican Club, below, where an elegant supper was served.
Later in the evening the party returned to Phi Psi hall, where the remaining hours were spent in dancing to the sweet strains of the Mandolin club, and in other social enjoyments.
Those present were: Misses Josie Hutchings, Jean Oliver, Clara Hunsicker, of Osage City; Lillie McMilan, Dora J. Ailen, May Webster, Lena Beard, Lizzie Wilder, Mame Lyons, Emma White, Minnie Innis, Emma Bartell, Tella Chapman, Lucile Pennebaker, Mattie Snow, Allie Mason, Alice Penfield, Kate Wilder, Nannie Love, Bella Sinclair, Fanny Pickering, Georgia Brown, Anna March, Mannie Snow, Sidney Dailey, Francis Eddy, and Profs. Snow, Wilcox, Dunlap, Marvin; Rev. C. E. Hills of Cincinnati; Messrs. M. O. Billings, of Marion; Joe Weaver, of Leavenworth; S. T. Gilmore, C. S. Crane, Henry Nickel, Will Spencer, W. S. Allen, C. B. Spencer, W. P. Brown, A. W. Postlethwaite, E. L. Swope, Will Snow, J. A. Mushrub, S. C. Brewster, O. B. Taylor, E. W. Caldwell, J. M. Shellabarger, O. H. Campbell, A. L. Bennett, Bert Spencer, Ernest Robinson, J. A. Prescott
