LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 11, 1887.
The readers of the Courier will be pained to learn of the death of Charles D. Dean, of the class of '84. Mr. Dean has been in poor health for some months and has been at Las Vegas in the hope of recovering his old vigor. Dean was one of the best known graduates of the University. He was business manager of the Courier for one year, after which he held the same position on the Review. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi. He always had many warm friends who will mourn his loss. The Courier extends sympathy to the bereaved family.
The literary editor is at work upon an ode to the nunnery and offers a town lot in Tonganoxie for four words which will rhyme with nunnery or six words rhyming with K. S. U. Send in your work early and accompany it with 60 cents to pay for postage and packing on the Courier to your address for one year. This offer is only good for a week.
LAW.
Prof. Snow rather startled the Freshman botany class by his class marking. Forty-two fell below 70 and a large number fell below 50. There is just one thing to do: Brace up.
W. S. Wolley,'88, is again able to attend his classes.
Dr. Summerfield heard his classes again last Tuesday.
King, '88, will leave the University soon and go into the book business.
Wm. Kinnon is on the sick list. An unusual amount of sickness has fallen to the lot of the Laws this session.
L. L. Davis, Law, '84, has charge of a branch office at Wyandotte. He is in the employ of Schover, who does a large general abstract business.
In moot court Wednesday night a bank question was argued by Bradley & Frolick for the plaintiff and Pentzer & Dickerson for the defense. The whole evening was spent in the discussion. The decision was for the defense, Dr. Summerfield presiding.
A petition has been circulated among the Laws and signed by all of them, requesting that the Law books in the general library be removed and placed in the Law library in the third story. This is no more than right and the petition ought to be granted.
The Seniors have been a source of considerable annoyance to the Juniors by interrupting them during recitation. One of the Seniors explained that they wanted to learn the Juniors something, and was completely squelched by the suggestion that they learn their grammar.
Athletic Notes
All the fraternities have entered the league and will compete for the championship.
W. T. Reed will pitch for the Betas, and Bowker, their latest initiate, will be catcher.
No. 26.
Geo. Lewis and Jep Davis, the champion catchers of the University, will form the Phi Delta battery.
V. L. and F. H. Kellogg think of organizing a tennis team to play any similar team which can be formed in the University.
The Phi Psis loose White, their catcher. He goes next week to Topeka to work in the A.T. & S.F. offices. Howard Campbell will catch for the nine.
A paper is circulating for subscriptions to the K. S. U. nine. The professors and students have already subscribed $50. Now is your chance to show your loyalty and your interest in athletics.
The Courier believing that the subject of athletics ought to be made more prominent, will furnish weekly bulletins of the games and will keep a schedule of the standing of the different nines.
Jep Davis was elected president of the Inter-Fraternity league; G. W. Harrington, vice president; O. B. Taylor, secretary; J. B. Lippincott, treasurer. The first game comes off a week from to-morrow.
With fifty-four fraternity men practicing constantly, with a number of others practicing for the University nine, it will be a matter of some surprise if we cannot form a nine that will be superior to any college nine in the State.
The base ball association was organized Tuesday. Jep Davis was elected captain and S.T. Gilmore secretary. The members of the nine will be selected immediately and practice will be begun. We will be ready to meet Washburn in a short time.
Last Friday afternoon about thirty of the students in German met in Oread hall to talk over the possibility of forming a German society. Through the energy of Prof. Carruth there has been a great interest awakened in German. This interest had assumed such proportions that it was deemed feasible to start such a society. Prof. Carruth spent some time in explaining what it would be well for the society to dc. After it was ascertained that the sentiment of the students present was in favor of a German society, a motion was made to form the society. As a result of this motion, we can say with pleasure that K. S. U, has a German Society which will undoubtedly be a credit to her. The following program will be presented in Oread hall this afternoon between 2 and 3 o'clock: Declamation, Mr. Goddard; reading, Miss Crotty; oration, Mr. Finney; music; essay, Mr. Buckingham; reading, Mr. Nickel; music; declamation, Miss McKinnon; oration, Mr. Esterly; music.
The fraternities all appointed committees Saturday night to meet in joint conferee and arrange an interfraternity league. All the fraternities will enter and put nines into the field. A series of fifteen games will be played and each nine will play one game with every other nine. The nine winning the greatest number of games will be declared champion of the league.

K. K. G. Party.
One of the most delightful social entertainments of the season was given last Friday night at the residence of Miss Etta Hadley, on Louisiana street, by the young ladies of the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity. They were in costume and after a delightful mysterious time alone, they received a number of their gentlemen friends, whom they overwhelmed with hospitality. Misses Atwood and Williams enlivened them occasionally with numerous exquisite instrumental and vocal selections. When the party broke up at a late hour the boys left feeling that Miss Hadley and her charming assistants have few equals as entertainers.
There will be a preliminary contest before a committee of the faculty, for the selection of contestants in the final contest for the oratorical prize, on Saturday morning, April 30. All meaning to enter must leave their names with Prof. Marsh at least a week before April 30. It is advised that Prof. Marsh be consulted about the subjects chosen. Orations of not above 1,000 words in length.
By the generosity of Messrs. Grovenor, Field & Hargis, and J. S. Crew & Co., three prizes are open to all regular students in the collegiate department of the University, namely, one prize for the best oration, one prize for the best essay, one prize for the best declamation.
Prizes for 1887
All essays for the essay prize must be handed to Prof. Marsh on or before Friday, May 13th. Each essay must be at least 3,000 words; and must be handed in under a pseudonym, together with a sealed envelop bearing the pseudonym on the outside, the true name within.
