to German Construction." English students of German notice the arbitrary and artificial constructions, but these are present in English and familiar from youth. In English there is precisely the same existence of separable prefixes, the inversion of verb and subject. In German the most common separable prefixes are unter and über. These correspond to the English under and over. In German, when separable, the accent falls on the prefix and gives a literal meaning; when inseparable, the meaning is generally figurative. In the matter of position, the German prefix belongs at the end of the clause; the English separable prefix must follow the pronoun object. Many perfect tenses in English may have the participle after the object, as "I have my exercise written;" and quite a number of adverbial elements may come before the past participle. In the case of inversion, the verb precedes the subject in all negative and privitative expressions; any adjective and predicate put first require an inverted construction.
UNIVERSITY LECTURE AND MUSICAL COURSE.
Change of Date for First Attraction.
A few days ago the attention of the management of the University Lecture and Musical Course was called to the fact that the date for the first entertainment of the course, the Moody Male Quartette, which had been booked for Saturday, Dec. 1st, fell during the Thanksgiving vacation, and would in consequence prevent a large number of students, who would be out of the city at that time, from attending. We are glad to be able to announce now, however, that the date has been changed to Wednesday, Dec. 5th, which is better for everybody concerned. This organization comes very highly recommended, and is a fitting opening attraction for the course. Those who have not yet purchased course tickets should do so at once.
Many times during the season will outside entertainments of a similar character to those included in the course be presented to the Lawrence public, and in a majority of these instances arrangements will be made so that holders of the University Lecture Course tickets will be entitled to an especial low price of admission.
The last 100 tickets are now selling.
MUSIC HALL ECHOES.
A week from next Monday Mr. Sievking gives a concert at Music Hall.
The Faculty Concert is the next event of the season. It will be held next Monday evening.
Miss Bernice Costello will appear at Music Hall in a varied and interesting elocutionary program next Saturday eve. Tickets on sale at the Santa Fe office. Price, 35 cents.
We are looking forward to the Physical Culture Exhibition, to be given by Mrs. Clark's pupils sometime after Thanksgiving. The class at Music Hall will assist in the exercise of Indian club swinging. But more of this later.
Our fourth students' recital was given Wednesday, and was made particularly interesting by the kind assistance of Mrs. Crane, who sang Rpbyn's dainty little song "Answer" in a most charming manner. Prof. Farrel played the violin obligato, and later a solo. Each of these programs seem to vie with the last in choiceness of selection, and did space permit I would like to comment on the rendering of each number, as our students never fail to uphold the credit of the school. We wish there might be a larger audience.
SOCIETY NOTES.
There were several students at the masquerade ball Monday night striving for a B. S. (not the degree).
The Chesterfield party Friday evening was quite a society event, and was attended by a number of University people.
Mrs. Snow received a number of University girls at her home last Friday afternoon, it being one of her "at home" days.
