LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DEC. 10, 1886.
Sunny Kansas.
Where is the foot ball club?
Vacation commences the 17th.
The Phi Psis give a hop this ever ing.
How do you like the change in the holidays?
The mock senate is developing great men very fast.
Our exchange editor is getting to be quite a humorist.
The water pipe is being laid up the hill on Adams street.
There will be a short dramatic entertainment at the Unity Club this evening.
Attend the meeting of your literary society this afternoon as it is the last chance this year.
The Tribune of Wednesday evening hit the Journal's musical critic a pretty hard lick.
The first musical concert of the season will be given Tuesday evening in University hall.
The State Musical Association will hold its annual meeting at Topeca next month.
Look at Abe Levy's special ad for young ladies in this weeks' issue
If the Regents will not give us a gymnasium the students ought to form an association and furnish one themselves.
Several people from the city came up to the University Thursday to hear Mrs. Prof. Carruth's art lecture.
The work on the stand pipe makes a din which is almost deafening to those who live anywhere near the place of its location.
The street cars now leave the foot of the hill at 1:15, thus enabling students who reside on the north side to ride home.
The contractors intend to have the stand pipe completed inside of twenty days. It is to be one hundred and four feet high.
It is said that Hon. Geo. R. Peck adds annually to his private library four times the number of volumes the State does to the University library.
The students don't seem to have any views this year. At least they don't express them in the columns of the COURTER. Why is this?
Invitations are out to the party to be given by the gentlemen of Phi Gamma Delta on the evening of December 16, in commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the chapter in K. S. U.
The Senators in the moot senate hold a caucus this afternoon to take action in regard to several bills that will come up to-morrow for consideration.
The bible class for literary study of the scriptures will meet for the purpose of full organization on Sunday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. rooms at 3 o'clock.
Most of the natural history specimens are in place in Snow hall. There are a few large specimens yet to be mounted, which will occupy the center of the zo-ological hall.
The Pharmacy students have formed a pharmaceutical organization for the further advancement of the science of pharmacy. The drug firm of Park, Davis & Co. have promised them substantial aid.
The west room in the third story of Snow hall will make an admirable gymnasium. It could be fitted up at but little expense too. We would like to have the Regents read this paragraph and think of this.
While in Germany Prof. Carruth purchased a great many German pictures. In this collection are several very fine pictures representing scenes in "Faust," which are on exhibition in his room and are being studied by the Sophomore German class.
The University was exceedingly well represented at the opera house last Saturday evening at the rendition of "Faust" by Emma Abbott. The students appreciate a good opera or drama, and the management of the opera house need never fear but that such kind will be well patronized by the students.
The statement in last week's Courier that the Junior and Senior laws would have a contest in the near future was made too soon. The Seniors would not accept the challenge of the Juniors. The reason seems to be that they were afraid of the Juniors, for they have a very strong class this year.
There has been over 300 books added to the University library this year. But very few of these books have been purchased by the State. The Junior class are trying to arouse the Regents to the necessity of purchasing more books. Thursday the Junior class started a petition requesting the Regents to ask this Legislature for an appropriation for the library.
Mrs. Prof. Carruth lectured on "Some glimpses of German Art" Thursday, at the second hour in the art rooms. The lecture was well attended, the room being crowded to its utmost capacity. She passed around photographs of most of all of the celebrated German paintings and with her description of them the audience could almost imagine the paintings before their eyes.
The order of things have been changed in regard to the dismissal of school for the holidays. At the last meeting of the faculty they passed the rule that school would be out the Friday before Christmas instead of the Wednesday before as the catalogue states, and that the holidays close the Monday after New Years instead of the Wednesday as heretofore. The faculty believe that under this plan more students will remain till the last day of school and will also be here the first day.

Emma Abbott visited the University last Saturday. She had quite an extended conversation with Eames, the guide, in which conversation, she said that she had often heard of the Kansas University during her tours through the United States, but that she was more than surprised and pleased with the immensity of the University. She expressed a desire to meet all the Profs., and said she would always visit the University hereafter, when she was in Lawrence.
The Lecture Course.
The committee who have the matter of the proposed Lecture Course in hand are pleased to announce that the enterprise has been received with favor by our citizens generally.
A partial canvas of the city has been made, and enough advance pledges have been secured to warrant me in saying that the course will be given.
The lecturers selected, are the very best that were available from the long list of the "Redpath Lyceum Bureau." They are in demand all over the country, making it impossible to secure them for any early dates. The first lecture of the course will be delivered by Gen. Lew Wallace about the middle of January, followed by Hon. Geo.R. Wendling in February and Kate Field about the first of March. Full information will be given in a few days. The canvass already commenced will be prosecuted vigorously so that the financial success of the project may be assured beyond a doubt.
The price of season tickets, admitting to the three lectures, will be $1.00.
Tickets will be issued the first week in January, at which times subscribers will be expected to make their pledges good.
The lectures will be delivered at Plymouth church.
THOMAS F. NORRIS For Committee.
The contest between the Orca and Orophilian literary societie has been postponed till after Christ mas on account of the Orcads having no essayist. It will probably take place the first week after the holidays.
COLLEGE WORLD.
The following little item has been booming along in the college papers for the last six or seven months. "The number of graduates at West Point last spring was 86." It has done good service. Why not place it on the retired list?
The Wesleyan (Ill.) Bev has suspended publication on account of the suspension of its editor, W.L. Miller from Wesleyan University. The Bev was a fair paper and was far ahead of the institution it represented, but the faculty in their intense desire to have some excuse to offer for the drawing of their salaries, because Mr. Miller did not comply with certain un reasonable demands of theirs, could think of nothing better than to suspend him. The Bev was a splendid ad. for the college, and the faculty have done as many people in this world have done and will continue to do—they have cut off their nose to spite their face.
A lady very skillful as a teacher of gymnastics has been engaged to instruct the young ladies in that art. Col. University Hesperus.
Many of our eastern exchanges published in the shadow of Bunker Hill monument where a whiff of the dreyma fragrance of the Boston baked bean and "culchaw" is occasionally wafted into the office, are in the habit of printing original stories. Among these estimable exchanges is the *Tuftonian*—an unusually literary magazine with an engraved title page and a story entitled "Thessus and Ariadans" appears in that sheet. This story is a curious combination of Howells and Emil Zola. After quoting poetry and falling in love in the most approved fashion the heroine waltzed up and "wreth herself passionately on his bosom" very naturally as any other rightly constituted hero would have done, he held her "close in his embrace." Of course this kind of thing may be very proper as of course it must be when such an eminently respectable paper as the *Tuftonian* practices it, and we have secured a story written by one of oor students which although it may not come up to the eastern standard we will offer to our readers in a few weeks. The title of the effusion is "The Mystery of the Hash House, or How the Switch got in the Soup."
That do settle it. Colorado girls can have the bun. But this thing must be stopped. There is such a thing as going to far. Of course no one would object under the new state of affairs to passing the evening in a little soft glove slugging contest with a young lady but suppose the coming woman after invading the boarding club and Indian club, should seek for admission into the base ball, foot ball and gymnasium club, would it not be time to call a halt?.
