ranger in the morably tilled A. R, Marshidge, a graduate of Harvard, and comes most highly recommended. He will be found a pleasant, agreeable gentleman, an enthusiastic scholar, an earnest and successful teacher. Miss Anna March will be a stranger to most students, but she is well and favorably known in Lawrence. As a teacher of music she has won notable success in Cincinnati. The University is to be congratulated that she is added to its music faculty.
Mr. Woodard, the newly employed clerk and book-keeper, comes to the University with an experience of twelve years, gained in the employ of the United States government. Giving his whole time to the work, Mr. Woodard's service will undoubtedly be found largely to contribute to the convenience of all who come into business relations with the office.
Students will find everything ready for their reception. The new superintendent, Mr. E. F. Crocker, has completely overhauled and repaired the heating apparatus, so that he is confident that the buildings can be comfortable in the coldest weather. The various halls and lecture rooms have been cleaned with more than usual care and thoroughness. A prosperous collegiate year will have auspicious beginning on the eighth day of September, 1S86.
First Days of the Term.
The Fall term at the State University opens on the "Wednesday following the first Monday in September." This occurs the present year, on Wednesday, September 8th. The first two days are devoted to entrance examinations, to the recording of grades, whether given for work done in these examinations or accepted from preparatory schools, and to the recording and compiling of the studies selected for the term, whether by applicants for admission or by former students. On Friday morning at ten o'clock (not nine o'clock, as heretofore), there will be a general assembly of students in University Hall, followed by brief gathering of the classes in the various lecture rooms, for the purpose of meeting the professors and arranging for recitations. The lectures and recitations will begin on Monday, 13th. In order that the class work begin without delay or interruption on Monday morning, it seems imperatively necessary that all students make their selections and seek enrollment before Friday. It is proposed that complete lists of all the classes shall be made up in the office in time to be distributed to the professors on Monday morning. From that time it is expected that the classes will do full work. From that time, also, professors will be unable, except by special appointment, either to examine applicants for admission or to advise with students in regard to optional courses. Wednesday and Thursday, 8th and 9th, are set apart for this preliminar work.
All students should seek admission into their classes through the office. Old students will record their studies with Prof. Robinson. Applicants for admission should go first to the office on the north side of the entrance hall.
A large force of workmen under Supt. Crocker, are busy cleaning and renovating the college building.

Homo Doctus.
He had just returned from college, with a wealth of classic knowledge, and he used it in analogy and brilliant metaphor.
He could give the conjugation of each word and its formation; and could trace it by relation, through three languages or more.
He had studied Locke and Bacon, whom he proved to be mistaken worthy, hence to be forsaken, by the more progressive school.
And he spoke with seeming function, on each intellectual function, and the conscience whose compunction, tells us of the "golden rule."
But he found no greater pleasure, than in speaking of the measure, found in Homer and the treasure, brought to light in recent years;
He was none the less the master, of the prophet Zoroaster, worthy teacher and ancestor, whom the Persian still reveres.
He could find the right ascension, of each star and its declension; and he loved with marked attention, all the heavenly vault to scan.
He could give the emenation, of each species and its station, in the order of creation, from amoebas up to man.
He had thought his reputation, co-extensive with the nation, to whose mental liberation, he looked forward with delight.
And he thought the world would meet him, and with outstretched hands would greet him; thought that nothing could defeat him; for in knowledge there is might.
But his joyous expectation, met complete annihilation, when, to his humiliation, he was slighted everywhere.
For the state refused to feed him, and his county didn't need him, so, with no one to impede him, he has gone to cutting hair.
LOCAL.
The house of Spangler is exceedingly happy over the arrival of a ten pound boy yesterday.
Miss Emma White gave a "Mother Hubbard" party in honor of Miss Clara Coffin of Leavenworth, who is visiting her this week.
Miss Mamie Tisdale entertained her friends last Thursday, with a corn roasting party. This is a novelty among Lawrence society people and was thoroughly enjoyed by those who were fortunate enough to be invited. The evening was pleasantly passed in dancing and other amusements, and all left voting Miss Tisdale a charming entertainer.
Manager March, of Bowersock's opera house, with his usual enterprise has an especially good program for fair week. The renowned comedian, Sol Smith Russell, will be here on the 6th, 7th, and 8th of September, with all his comic songs and amusing antics. The mere announcement of appearance will insure him a large audience. No student should fail to see him.
Mr. E. C. Little has taken aposition with the law firm of Barker, Gleed & Gleed, and will have charge of the office in this city. It is a fine position for a young man, and Mr. Little is certainly worthy of it. He

graduated at the University in both literary and law departments, during his college course taking the highest hoors bestowed by faculty and fellow students. He is a hard student, an undefatigable worker and one of the best speakers ever in the University. He now has a broader field for the exercise of his talents, and will undoubtedly take a high rank at once in his chosen profession, and will be a valuable addition to the bar of Lawrence."
The alumni of our University are fast rising to prominence. E. C. Little, '83, and Law class, '86, is well known to all our students. He was clerk of the- University and won many warm friends there.
The Second Biennical Convention of the Sigma Nu fraternity was held in the parlors of the Phoenix Hotel, Lexington, Kentucky, August 4 and 5. Nineteen chapters were represented by about thirty delegates, coming from twelve states. Kansas chapter was represented by P. R. Bennett and G. W. Harrington, who secured for the chapter two of the grand officers and the publication of the Delta. The Delta was changed by the convention from a quarterly to a bi-monthly, and subscription made compulsory on all active members. This makes the fourth fraternity journal which has come to K. S. U. to be published. One entire session was taken up with the constitution, and numerous changes were made which it is hoped will promote the prosperity of the fraternity. The next convention will be held in Bermingham, Alabama, in August, 1887. Arrangements were made for getting out a catalogue some time this year. The convention closed with a grand banquet, presided over by Bennett, and Murphy of Washington and Lee.
NOTES.
Lawrence Coal.
Realizing that it requires time to develop the coal mines of our city so as to supply the local demands for coal, and anticipating the certain advance in price. I have bought at low figures several carloads of hard and soft coal of best quality, and can sell same, delivered from car as low as coal of same grade can be handled. See me before you buy.

Changed Hands.
Since our last issue Mr. E. C. Mull, the popular confectioner, has retired from business and has been succeeded by Mr. John Egner. Mr. Egner has renovated and refitted the place, making it almost entirely new with one exception;Mr. Harris still being retained to attend to the wants of the student, as of old. The business will be conducted on the same plan as before. Ice cream and oysters in season All orders for supplers given prompt attention.
Fair Week.
Attractions at the opera house will be simply great. In addition to Sol Smith Russell, the first three nights, Manager March has secured for the last three nights the great spectacular extravagance, the "Devil's Auction." The company is simply immense, and the costumes and scenery the finest ever carried. In taking in the attractions of fair week, don't forget this great treat.
