The Review speaks of the Courier as their "esteemed little cotemporary." Well, that's gall. All the editorials in the last number of the Review will not amount to but $2\frac{3}{4}$ columns of the Courier, by actual measurement. Their locals amount to $1\frac{1}{4}$ columns of the Courier, and their personalts to 2 columns. All the matter in one issue of the monthly Review will no more than fill one issue of the weekly Courier, and yet we are "little."
"The California Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Psi are making arrangements to erect a chapter house on their lot, south of the campus, in the near future. The building will be two stories in height; the first floor will contain a reception room, hall and other rooms. The style and plans for the building have not yet been decided upon, but $3,000 will be expended. This speaks well for U. P. enterprise."—Pacific Pharos. This will be the first chapter house west of the Mississippi.
The article in last week's Courier in reference to the lecture course was wrong throughout. Deeming our information reliable, and not taking into consideration that the informant might be mistaken, we committed the fault yourself, of not consulting those who would know positively in regard to the lectures for the coming year. We are glad to rectify our mistake. The lecture course will continue the coming year, and will in all probability be better than ever before. Already the chairman of the committee is in correspondence with well known lecturers in regard to appearance at the University. The plan of establishing the lecture course as a regular department of the University is being considered. Arrangements are being made with the faculties of other institutions in regard to an exchange of courtesies in lectures, etc. Prof. Carruth is still a member of the lecture committee of the faculty, but is no longer chairman, as heretofore.
Prof. Canfield has a new and entirely original plan in regard to the recitations of his higher classes. He has placed long tables in his lecture room, and will gather his classes around it with their reference books, maps, papers, note books, etc., before them on the table. The recitations will be carried on in a strictly conversational manner. Questions will be asked and answers given, topics taken up and discussed, and everything connected with the lesson will be considered, not as has been done heretofore in the recitation room, but in a perfectly free and informal way. The examinations will be conducted in the same manner, three or four days being consumed in the examination of the class. This is a new idea, and one which is quite a breaking away from the old time formal recitations. We hope it will succeed; we know it will succeed under Prof. Canfield if it will under any prof.
A number of the fairest of K. A. T. ladies favored their gentlemen friends withjan excellent treat last Friday evening, by organizing a party to attend a dance in the country, at the famous Cox farm, near Tonganoxie. All went out in the greatest of style, and prepared to have a jolly time, the ladies not neglecting to take something with them to eat, which, added to the spoils of a raid on the pantry, made an excellent supper, after which the boys "hustled" up the musicians, and proceeded to inaugurate a large new store house with a genuine "hoe-hown." Returning the party enjoyed an early morning ride by moonlight, with loud declarations of a good time. Those in the party were: Misses Jean Anderson, May Webster, Mamie Tisdale, Julia Benedict, Ella Ropes, Emma Bartell, Ella Bartell, Sydney Dailey, Mildred Pikard; and Messrs. Jack Schall, Harry Valentine, Ed Blair, Jep Davis, John Higinbotham, Lawson Gilbert, Nate McCague, Rob Rankin.
