3. The orators who represent the different states at the inter-state contest are then to furnish to the inter-state secretary sufficient copies on their final oration, so that each local Association may have a copy, and the inter-state secretary forwards to the different state secretaries.
4. When the copies of the state and inter-state orations are all in the hands of the state secretary of each state, it is his duty to forward a full set to each local college, and they can be bound for the library shelf.
5. In order that the different orations may be conveniently bound, it is necessary to print the pages of uniform size and type, and it is proposed to print in long primer type and make the page four inches wide and six inches long, with a margin of one and one-half inches wide.
To set this plan in motion, amendments to the inter-state constitution were introduced at Lawrence, Kansas, last May, making the necessary provisions, and they received the most hearty approval of every orator and delegate. The amendment specifying the size of page is as follows:
ART. VI., SEC. 4. The orations for the inter-state contest shall be printed by the state Associations according to the following uniform standard: They shall be set in long primer type, the body of each page being four (4) inches wide and six (6) inches long, with a margin one and one-half $(1\frac{1}{2})$ inches in width. Ninety copies of the oration shall contain the name and college of the author, and ten copies shall be printed with name and college omitted.
An amendment was also proposed at the Ohio state convention, making the same provisions in regard to the Ohio state orations, and was adopted. The same amendments have been also adopted by the Oberlin College Association. So this year the Oberlin College Association will be able, by the operation of laws already passed, to secure and preserve all of its own orations, the Ohio state orations and the inter-state. It is hoped and expected that the various state Associations and the local college Associations will at once adopt similar amendments, and it will then only require an exchange between the states to make it an annual arrangement and a permanent success.
Now it has been thought best to effect these changes this year and gather the orations even in advance of constitutional amendment. This circular will be sent to each local college Association, and if you will furnish your winning oration to the rest of the colleges, you will receive copies of all the others and we can start the first volume with this year.
Please notify your state secretary at once, that you will come into the arrangement. He will in turn inform the inter-state secretary, and you will then be notified as to the number required. It will not exceed seventy-five copies. I might add that after the necessary copies are printed for the use of the judges, it will only cost about two cents per copy to print the additional numbers. It will be understood that at a cost of only $1.50 to each local Association, you will receive a volume that shall contain the best fruits of the best ora-
torical skill of the colleges of nine of the best states in the union. Let us work together for the success of this project!
The careful study of the above will prove the strongest argument for the adoption of such a course. Hitherto its desirability has been merely agitated. Now comprehensive plans have been formed. Let us do our duty toward their fulfillment.
Ohio seems to have taken the lead in this beneficial project. May Illinois, who is ever well to the front in such matters, land next in line.
Respectfully,
ALLAN TANNER.

Prof. Snow received the following letter from Will Brown, which explains itself:
CALF CREEK,
100 MILES N. E. OF MILES CITY.
Oct. 19, 1886.
DEAR PROFESSOR:—The expedition has been very successful so far. We have killed eight buffaloes and a large number of antelopes, wolves, etc. The eight buffaloes have been killed within the last few days. Night before last the Indians robbed us of the largest one, which had been killed the evening before. They carried away all the meat, broke the large bones for the marrow and took the skin, with the exception of the head, which they painted red on one side and yellow on the other, tied a red and yellow ribbon to one horn, and cut eleven notches in the other. Exactly what they mean by this decoration we do not know. The cowboys and soldiers who are with us thought it advisable for each man to keep his gun near him. Mr. Hornaday sends a report of the matter to the commanding of deer at Ft. Keogh, recommending that he send a troop of cavalry to take them back to the reservation before they do any further damage. Do not know what Indians they are, but suppose they are those who have been killing cattle and stealing horses ease of here. We do not fear any harm personally from them, and do not stop our work on their account everybody is well in camp, and we have any amount of fresh meat. I is very dry here, there having bee out three rainy days since we have been here. I am keeping a record of the temperature—a make a report three times each day, early in the morning about 1 P. M. and about 9 P. M. The weather has been very pleasant so far. This is the coldest evening we have had. The thermometer stands at 9:15 P. M., at 10° above zero, and heavy frost. The averag has been since the 1st of October thirty mornings and evenings, 50° in heat of the day, the highest 70° and the lowest, this evening, 10° You must excuse poor writing, ete as I write in a hurry, and the table write on is not a very good one.
Respectfully yours,
The COURIER suggests that one of the literary societies of K. S. U. challenge a literary society of any neighboring college to a debate, and in this way stir up a little inter-collegiate spirit.
Respectfully yours, W.H.BROWN

We take great pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of the Rockford Seminary Magazine, a very attractive magazine published by the young ladies of Rockford Seminary, Rockford, Illinois. To say that we are pleased with this magazine, would not be half expressing our admiration for it. The exchange columns are the most interesting of the paper, and the editors of the Magazine may congratulate themselves on having such an able editor of that department. Judging from their columns their reception given to the Y. M. C. A. of Rockford must have been a grand affair; and from the fact that part of these young gentlemen remained until requested so depart by the faculty, we conclude that the students of Rockford Seminary are very attractive young ladies.
We have received another copy of the Hillsdale Herald, after an absence of a few weeks, which gave us grounds to hope that the Herald had taken a vacation in order that its editors might rest up and regain their strength and energy, which they must have lost in their tremendous effort to sustain the high reputation of the Herald; but instead, we find the last number as miserable and as full of nothing as ever.
The Washington-Jeffersonian is a first class college paper. Its literary matter reflects great credit upon its able editors. We can read it from beginning to end with pleasure, which can not be said of many others of our exchanges.
Alvin Clark and Sons, of Boston, have just completed a telescope for the Lick observatory, which is the largest telescope in the world. Professor Newcomb has been appointed as an expert to examine it.
At the University of Gottingen, Germany, in all college athletic sports American students easily take the championship. The same may be said of most of the other German Universities.
The more we read the Monmouth Collegian the more we like it. There are certainly very few college papers that equal it, either in literary matter or its local news. It is in every respect a first class college paper.
The chancellors of the Universities of New York and California each receive $10,000.
Every member of the faculty of Amherst College is an alumnus of that institution.
A new visitors' register has been obtained. It will be kept in the clerk's office, under the eye of the clerk. The old register was spoiled by the students filling it up with fictitious names and names of people who had never been inside of Lawrence.
