The Law Class decided to dismiss at the same time as the other classes.

The "Friends in Council" gave their annual supper last Tuesday evening.

Who is studying during vacation, and who will have their studies the first day?
The "Nunnery" is completely broken up, every inmate having gone to her home.
The Kappa Kappa Gammas will keep open house at the residence of G. L. Howe.
The West Lawrence girls will keep open house at the residence of Henry Tisdale.
But very few students remain in Lawrence during vacation except those who reside here.
Mr. J. E. Adams, Washburn's alternate, is a fine orator, and would have made a good race in the State contest.
The work on the water-works is "going on" as usual. Not much prospect for finishing by Jan. 1, however.
When you come back from your festivities be sure and bring fifty cents to pay your subscription for the Great Religious Weekly.
Judge West is diligently at work mounting the geological specimens which he discovered last summer in Western Kansas.
Mr. Brewster, the orator from Washburn, is said to have a very pleasing delivery, and a great amount of personal magnetism.
Our sporting editor, our society editor, our humorous editor, and our heavy editorial editor and our religious editor are all at home spending their vacations.
The Courier will next week publish a list of the University ladies who will receive callers. Those intending to receive will confer a favor by giving us their names.
We wonder if the Bakery will send any of its wares to Ottawa this year. We always did like the doughnuts, they were always so fresh, and that is much to be desired in a doughnut, you know.
Show the COURIER to your father mother, brothers, sisters, cousins, anuts, and your best girl, then help along the Great Religious Weekly by getting cash subscriptions from them all.
The State Teachers' Association holds its annual meeting this week aa Topeka. Prominent educators from all parts of the state will be in attendance. The general meeting will be held in the Representative Hall in the State House.
Talking of Christmas dinners, it would be well to think of Prof. J. H. Canfield's. A good dinner and a big dinner to be sure. Those who will be present are Prof. L. E. Sayre, wife and family, Mrs. M. L. Simpson, Prof. Mamie Simpson, Prof. Adelaide Rudolph, Prof. A. G. Canfield, Prof. Aldrich and wife, and Prof. MacDonald.
The Usher Guard hop last Friday evening, was quite well attended by students, and was a very pleasant affair. It pays the students to attend these parties. The guards are splendid fellows, their hall is excellent for dancing, they have good music, and the students can go there at a much less expense than they can get up their own parties. All the students in the city, should attend the grand ball, Dec. 31.
The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity gave a very enjoyable hop in its hall last Friday evening. The affair was entirely informal, and was gotten up on short notice, but was in every way a delightful success. About ten couples were present, and spent the evening in dancing and conversation. It has been found by experience that even an informal hop given by the Phi Psis, is more pleasant than a royal entertainment of some other frats.
Oh happy is the man who has a best girl! She helps to pass away many weary hours. She cheers him when he is blue. She is cheap too, cheaper than billiards or poker. She don't have to go sleighriding, as there is no snow. She can't go buggyriding, as that is out of season. Too warm for oysters. Too cool for ice cream. Nothing billed at the opera house, no concerts, no parties. no balls. Oh lucky youth, go in now and improve these golden hours.
Marshal Prentice is happy now. Students have gone home. Prentice thinks seriously of abolishing the University after the holidays.
Mr. Douglas E. Hamilton, of Des Moines, Iowa, will be married next week to Miss Jennie O. Walker. Both are well-known in K. S. U. Mr. Hamilton was one of the most prominent old students, a Beta, and a member of the Amphion quartette. Miss Walker has been a resident of Lawrence for many years. She is a member of Pi Beta Phi sorosis. The hosts of friends of both bride and groom will unite with the Courier in wishing them a long and happy life.
The December number of the Review appeared last week. This is decidedly the best number of the present year. The literary department comes near to the old standard of excellence which the Review maintained years ago. Miss Nellie G. Thacher contributes an excellent article on "Kansas Girls in the University." The editorial page, is, as usual, rather weak, not much work being put thereon. The "Reviews" are excellent, being well written and thoughtful; the locals and persons are stale. All in all this number is very creditable to the management.
To Mr. Charles Smith and various other boys, laboring under the same difficulty:
Ye timid, struggling, phantom shade,
Like some weird spirit, half afraid
To expose thyself to mortal gaze,
Or like some tinted mist or haze.
That seems to be, but yet is not. And gathers round some favored spot.
Upon my pliz, a thing of hope,
To meet some time my shaving soap.
Oh haste! Pray haste, I beg and grow;
Dost feel no pride to be so slow?
I long to know what is thy hue.
And run my happy fingers through Thy meshes thick,and hold them fast,
Then I could be a man at last!
One of the prettiest halls in the city, now is that of the Phi Gamma Delta. It is located on the third floor of J. G. Haskell's building in the Eldridge House block. It is a large airy room, twenty-five by thirty-six. Its walls are elegantly decorated in Mr. Hargis' best style. Handsome curtains adorn the windows. Upholstered furniture, a piano, and presiding officer's desk add much to the appearance of the room. A six-light chandelier and four side jets give light enough in the darkest night. The floor is canvassed on account of the dancing proclivities of the Phi Gamms.
The boys owe much to the Phi Gamm girls who have laoyally contributed six handsome banners, plaques, tidies, and an elegant piano scarf. These go very far towards giving the room its homelike comfortable appearance. The Phi Gamms can feel proud of their first five year's work.
