Last Friday the Oreads declared their meeting of the week before illegal on account of some of the members that were present being delinquent in their dues, so in that way not having a vote.

Prof. Sayre has received three balances for the use of the pharmacy department. They are regulated so as to be able to weigh one-tenth of a grain. They are quite an addition to the appliances of the department.
Prof. Canfield to a student to whom he was explaining a difficult question: "Mr. ——, if you were in New York City, and a gentleman would say to you that Kansas was a grand young state, prosperous, wealthy and an honor to the Union, inhabited by contented and happy men and women, to whom would you tell him that the honor of all this prosperity belongs?" Student: "The Republican party."
The Kent Club, at their meeting Friday night, did not carry out the program proposed, on account of the small attendance. The regular election was held, with the following results: President. J. W.

Oread held a good meeting last Friday. The complete program, which included an interesting talk by Prof. Carruth, on the graduation exercises of the German Universities, was carried out. The following officers were elected: President, Denton Dunn; vice president, Henri Nickel; secretary, Ella Ropes; critic, Mamie Manley; financial secretary, F. G. Crowell; treasurer, Geo. Lewis; executive committee, Fred Bowersock, E. G. Blair and S. T. Gilmore.
The Sophomores held a meeting at the end of the fourth hour Monday. They elected officers in the following order: A. L. Wilmoth, president; Harry Buckingham, secretary; Miss Annie McKinnon, treasurer; Geo Dick, historian; Miss Gertie Crotty, poet, Frank Neal, master of athletics; Miss Emma Bartell, prophet. The class moved to adopt a class hat. A committee was appointed to report on styles of class hats. The meeting moved to instruct the master of athletics to challenge any class in the University to a game of base ball.
At the meeting of the regents' committee on building and grounds Friday, Snow Hall was formally approved and several important reports were forwarded to the governor. The road on the Mississippi street line was ordered opened from the buildings north as far as the University land extends. This was done with the expectation that the city would complete the work the short distance remaining. This will make the easiest possible approach, so level that street cars could be easily run. As nearly all the distance from the present terminus of Mississippi street to the University is through the states' land, through which the avenue will be laid out and graded by the regents, the city will gain an attractive street with almost no expense.—Journal.
The Best Building in the State. Judge Otis said last night to a Journal reporter: Snow Hall is the finest public building that the state has ever built for fifty thousand dollars. I doubt if it would be possible for any private individual to erect for that sum a better building than we have in Snow Hall. The credit is largely due to the contractors, McFarland & Son. They have worked faithfully for the interests of the University. They are skillful workmen themselves, and do considerable of the work with their own hands. After the McFarlands had built the chemical building, the regents were glad to be able to award the contract for Snow Hall to them. They have probably not made much out of this contract, but I believe they have made something. Men who know how to judge such work have expressed the greatest surprise when told that the entire building will be completed for fifty thousand dollars. Several architects said when the specifications for the building were made known, that it could not be built for less than one hundred thousand dollars. Nothing has been slighted in any way. The building is almost absolutely fire proof. It is both elegant and substantial, and is a credit to this state. The regents formally approved of it to-day, and we are all more than satisfied with it.—Journal.
