The returned thesis of the Freshman and Sophomore classes are deplorable to behold. There is a consolation however to the lower classmen, that many of the corrections made, are as useless as a fifth wheel to a wagon and a few of them as correct, as two times two makes five. The punctuation in all the thesis is miserable but even our catalogue had to be corrected entirely in punctuation at Topeka so. Freshmen don't repine.
For three years no addition has been made to the collection of Kansas birds. Two or three weeks ago a negro hunting on the river killed a bird he had never seen before and he took it to Prof. Snow to ascertain what it was, the Prof. told him it was a very rare bird, whos home was the Pacific coast. The negro gave it to the Prof. and he has mounted it for his collection. The common name of the bird is the Western Grabe and it is the first specimen known to be captured this side of Utah.
Last Friday being a cold day the society met in the chapel. An interesting program was given in which the current event essay was an important feature. The subject chosen was "The Late Elections and their Result" and the reading of the essay was followed by short discussion by the members. The society was favored with music by E. C. Franklin and Miss Franklin. The following officers were elected for the ensuing term: President, E. Sharum; vicepresident, J. B. Stout; secretary,
Miss Gertrude Hunnicutt; critic, Miss Rosa McMurray. An effort is being made, by the society, to secure the privilege of holding night sessions in its hall. In view of this a petition is being circulated among the students for their signature and it will be presented to the board of regents at their next meeting.
Prof. Dyche is engaged in mounting one of the buffalos, for the museum, which was killed a year ago by a party from Smithsonian Institute, of which W. H. Brown was a member. The specimen is one of the largest that was killed. The modern system of mounting animals is very unique, no part of the buffalo is used except the hide. A frame the exact size and shape of the body is made, over which the hide is sewed. This really gives two specimens from one animal, the skeleton and the mounted animal itself.
Prof. Wilcox has secured for the use of the students in the Greek department some of the rarest and most valuable volumes on Ancient Grecian archetecture, sculpture, ect. Among the volumes recently recieved were a complete set, consisting of fifty-five permanent photographs, of all the marbles of the Parthenon in the British Museum. Strart and Revell's Antiquities of Athens, consisting of five folio volumes published in 1770 which is one of the very few complete sets in America. A large folio volume of Cockerell's Temples. A restoration of the Parthenone in colors, a most beautiful and instructive book. A complete set of pictures showing the development of art in all branches among the Ancients. Forty colored vases in color by H. Genick. Eight beautiful, and artistic plates representing the colors in Greek architecture and sculpture. These plates are very large and beatiful. A copy of the acropolis of Athens by Beule, purchased by Prof. Wilcox happened to be the same identical volume which the author had presented to M. Dumont. On the cover may be seen the signature of the author and his compliments to the recipient. Prof. Wilcox has secured these volumes with a great deal of trouble and considerable expense and is building up a Greek department which will be complete in all its departments and of which the University may well be proud.
