Orophilian literary society held its usual meeting last Friday evening in I. O. O. F. hall over Leis'drug store. The program was short but interesting. The majority of the audience was new students. While new students are always most cordially welcomed, their numbers predominating over the old students indicates one of two things, either the old students have received sufficient literary training or they have allowed their interest to die down. Which is it? The following are the resolutions adopted with the faculty:
WHEREAS, the faculty of Kansas State University has refused to recognize the just claims of Orophillian Literary Society, in that they have not provided a reason for their neglected society and have neglected to take definite in regard to the same, be it
Resolved. That we the members of Oroblian Literary Society, hereby express our indignation at such treatment and declare such inaction and disinterest unworthy such an enlightened body and farthermore be it
Resolved. That these resolutions be submitted to the daily papers for publication, a copy of the same to be presented to the faculty and also spread upon our minutes. Done by the unanimous vote of the society, October 28, 1887.
The Athenaeum Literary Society held its regular meeting last Friday at 2 p.m. and an interesting program was rendered.

After the essay has been read the topic chosen is open to discussion by the members for thirty minutes. The scheme is a good one, and the multiplicity of views expressed creates a source of entertainment, amusement and instruction.
