The best students literary society, the Lime Kiln Club, held its meeting as usual at the court house last Saturday night. Every one was well prepared and the greater part of the evening was taken up with the debate, Resolved; That the present jury system should be abolished" Squires leading the affirmative and McLaren the negative.
The young ladies should remember that they will be made perfectly welcome at all the games in the fraternity league. Nothing would please or encourage the boys more than to have a large number of ladies present, their applause will go farther towards making the boys take an interest in the many sport than anything else. No profanity or indecent language will be allowed on the ground. Reserved seats will be provided, no admission charged, everything made lovely and agreeable. Please remember this and favor the games with your presence.
Tuesday evening last the Musical Department of the University gave the best concert with which it has yet favored us. The entire program was given by the pupils of Prof. Aldrich and was as follows:
Oh Mio Fernando [La Favorita]...
...Donizetti
Miss Ila Williams.
Oh Rest in the Lord...[Elijah]
Miss Georgia Brown.
Miss Georgia Brook
Cantata—King Rene's Daughter...
Henry Smart
From Miss Williams the audience expected a fine rendition of her selection and they were in no wise disappointed. When we say that she has never done better before a Lawrence audience we but echo the general sentiment of those present.
Miss Georgia Brown was a favorite with Lawrence people before and Tuesday evening she certainly lost none of her admirers. The hearty applause she won sufficiently attested the pleasure she conferred upon her audience.
The cantata was the chief feature of the evening. The parts were represented as follows: soprano, Ila Williams; Mezzo-soprano, Birdie Starr; contralti, Mrs. Prof. Nichols and Georgia Brown. The chorus was made up of the other young lady students of Prof. Aldrich. Among so many good numbers it seems almost unfair to give particular notice but we can scarce forbear remarking upon No.4, a duet by Misses Starr and Brown and chorus; No.8, a solo by Miss Williams and No.11, a duet by Misses Starr and Brown supported by the chorus, as worthy of special commendation.
Prof. Aldrich deserves great praise and credit for the entertainment. Upon his leadership its success very largely depended and the warm reception the cansata obtained was most complimentary to him.
Prof. McDonald, by his skillful accompaniments greatly enhanced the excellence of the concert.
The Science Club meeting of last Friday, March 18, proved a very interesting one, as usual, although two of the members whose names were on the program were absent, one on account of sickness, the other being in Atchison.
Paul Goddard gave the "Scientific Review," calling attention especially to an experiment, described in La Nature, for the artificial production of water spouts.
The following persons were elected to membership: Ed. Esterly, B.
The Science Club.
Prof. Nichols called the attention of the club to an article in "Science," by Mendenhall, on "Characteristic curves of composition." This caused quite a little discussion and ended in an action by the club which will be reported later if it bears fruit.
Prof. Sayre gave a very interesting talk on the subject of digestive ferments.
The club then adjourned to meet Friday, April 1st.
L. Hill, F. C. Keys, A. A. Patterson and Russell Whitman.
There are but few of the students who have an idea of the jolly times the Science Club has, not only at its "blow-outs," but even at its regular meetings; for instance, several week's age, the program committee arranged instead of a regular program, a general discussion on Spiritualism, and were fortunate enough to secure a firm believer in Mystic Spiritualism, to argue one side of the question, and the meeting proved both amusing and profitable.
As for our "blow-outs," I will not attempt to describe them but simply suggest that you ask some member about Prof. Snow's dance or Josh Billings' discoveries in archaeology or Nichols' and Bailey's "cider race"—just pump any of the members and you will find that Science Club reminiscence is not a dry well.
Science Club excursions have earned a well deserved reputation and there are several now under consideration that will not detract from it, one to the smelting works at Argentine, one to the Pen at Leavenworth, and one to the Santa Fe shops at Topeka.
There is but one consequence of this state of affairs and that is, as is becoming evident, that our members have a deep attachment to a club with which so many pleasant memories are associated.
The class in History of Civilization will continue its work into the second half term on account of lack of time for its completion.
Last week's Chicago Inter-Ocean contains a letter from Wm. T. Horniday, United States Taxidermist and author of "Two Years in a Jungle," a very valuable scientific book, on our shelves, in which in relating his experiences in his late hunt in Montana for zo-ological specimens he refers to "W. Harvey Brown, of the University of Kansas, as his worthy assistant and right bower." Quite an honor conferred on a member in our Natural History department.
The students who hold passes on the various railroads are going around bewailing their fate of not being able to see their ma so frequently after the first of April.
In case the University allows a vacation on Arbor day this year, some steps should be taken to have a proper observance of that day by the setting out of trees on our campus and beautifying it with shrubbery, etc. A little expense and care on the part of the authorities and students in that direction would have a remarkably good effect.
The faculty evidently mean business in regard to thorough work in the various departments, five gentlemen of leisure have been given their walking papers on account of non-appearance for duty.

The logic class has been undergoing a siege of quizzes the past week, under the guidance of Dr. Williams.
The lists of members of the different classes are on the bulletin board. They must be thoroughly correct before they go into the catalogue.
Half-term examinations take place next week and already the students are burning mid-night oil and are seen wandering about the halls with books in their hands and sad looks in their eyes.
By the advance sheets of the new catalogue, the Senior class numbers twenty-five; eight of its members are Modern Literature; nine Classics; six Scientific; one Latin Scientific; one Civil Engineer. This is as large a class as has ever graduated. The Junior class, however, is small, having only sixteen members at present.
W. T. Reed has left school and will go into business in western Kansas. Mr. Reed has been in the University four years and during that time he has always been prominent by reason of his energy and ability. We doubt not that these characteristics will win him success in the business world.
Harry E. Riggs has left school to accept a position as Assistant Division Engineer on the Burlington & Missouri River railroad. Mr. Riggs has been a student of the University for many years, and since his graduation from the Collegiate department has been pursuing a course in civil engineering. He leaves behind him a host of friends both among the Profs. and students who rejoice at his prosperity and hope that success will greet him in his new departure.
