The scientific students are enjoying a vacation this week while the professors are at the Academy of Science at Emporia.
Baldwin has a lecture course supported by the students, and if we cannot support one we are not worthy the name of University students.
Thanksgiving turkey at home is very nice; but if you can't go home, be sure and do the next best thing and take in the Usher Guard ball.
Western Kansas is the place where Prof. Cope made his first geological studies some fifteen years ago. He says that western Kansas is the geologist's paradise.
If Prof. Branner ever visits the University of Kansas again to lecture we venture to say that, rain or shine, he will be greeted by a crowded house.
The Chancellor has had a driveway graded down the south side of the hill, just west of the chemistry building. He announces that that part of the campus will be given to any parties wishing to erect sheds for their horses to stand in during the bad weather. The only requirement is that they be of uniform size. For farther information on the subject, call on the Chancellor.
Prof. Cope delivered a lecture on geology to Prof. Snow's geology class Wednesday morning. Quite a number of other students were present. The lecture was very much enjoyed by all.
The engine does not seem large enough to heat the buildings so as to make them comfortable since Snow Hall has been added. Will we have to shiver while at the University all winter?
Any student wishing to secure tickets for the lecture course can do so at the clerk's office. Every person should take a ticket, for the plan will not succeed unless it is well patronized.

We respectfully invite the attention of the students to the new advertisement of J. M. Wood & Co. in this issue. This firm has always been the favorite of the students, and will continue as ever to supply groceries and provisions at the lowest prices.
Prof. Canfield's lectures have become so popular with the students that his lecture room will not hold them all. Last Thursday he delivered a lecture in the chapel in the third hour. It was well attended not only by his third hour class but by a great many other student.
Profs. Bailey, Nichols and Dyche, accompanied by W, S. Franklin, V, L. Kellogg, A. H. Plumb and Dick Short, went to Emporia Wednesday to attend the Academy of Science. The party was also accompanied by Prof. Branner. Franklin and Short took the large lantern with them to illustrate Prof. Branner's lecture with.
by most of the professors, songs were sung and a general good time was had. At a rather late hour the boys marched to the corner of Lee and Massachusetts streets, from whence they dispersed.
On the evening of the day in March 1885, when the news arrived from Topeka that the bill appropriating money for the erection of the natural history building had passed, nearly every male student of the University gathered at the foot of the hill, and forming a line two abreast, marched down Massachusetts street, blowing horns, beating tin cans, etc. They proceeded down Massachusetts street as far as Winthrop, thence to the residence of Prof. Snow. The professor being called out, he was hoisted on the shoulders of the four largest boys and carried to the Leis drug store corner, followed by the whole body of students. At this corner a platform had been built, and in the light of a large fire which was built of dry goods boxes, etc., a jollification was held. Speeches were made by many well known citizens of Lawrence and
All students who remain in the city next week should attend the Usher Guard ball on Thursday evening. The Guards are giving most delightful parties, and the students should attend as much as possible. All opportunities for strangers to meet the town boys should be embraced, as it tends to make the student's stay in the city pleasanter.
LECTURE COURSE.—There is a scheme on foot which should receive the support of every student of the University. It is the organization of a lecture course. A paper is now being circulated which is to be signed by those who will promise to take course tickets, and designating the number which will be taken by them in case the plan is carried out. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether or not enough tickets can be sold to put the course on a firm financial basis, and if such is the case, the lectures will be an established fact. No subscriber will be asked to pay anything or to take any tickets until the requisite number have promised to become patrons of the course. There will certainly be three, and possibly four lectures, in the course. Gen. Lew Wallace and Geo. R. Wendling, have already signified their willingness to make dates with the committee having this in charge, and Kate Field is expected to become a third lecturer. The price will be but one dollar for the full course—certainly cheap enough. The subscription paper will be circulated among the students, and every one should help along this matter by promising to take one or more tickets.
The first lecture in the course was delivered by Prof. Branner, of Indiana State University, last Tuesday evening at the close of the dedication exercises of Snow Hall. The First Regiment band opened the exercises of the evening by a very finely rendered medley. Prof. Nichols then introduced Prof. branner in a few well selected words, in a double capacity of closing the dedication exercises, and also beginning the lecture course of this year. The speaker was greeted with great applause, prefacing his lecture of "A Naturalist in Brazil," with a few remarks on his experience during his eight years residence in that country. For want of space we are obliged to omit the publication of the lecture this week, but hope to be able to do so next week. On account of the stormy night the audience was small, but those who heard it say that they would not have missed it for anything. It was unanimously pronounced one of the finest lectures that has been delivered at the University for a long time. The ceremonies were closed by the First Regiment band, by rendering the "British Patrol" in their usual elegant manner. They are highly praised for contributing their services for the dedication exercises.
