The subject of Mr. Ady's address to the law department of the State University, on the evening of June 5, will be "The Reign of Law." This is a subject in which the public in general is profoundly interested at the present moment, and Mr. Ady's address will be fully awake to all the burning issues of the day.-Newton Daily Republican.
We expect from Mr. Ady one of the ablest addresses ever delivered at the University. The subject will give Mr. Ady an opportunity to discuss in his clear and forcible style many topics to which he has given much study and extensive reading. Topeka Capital.
Judge N. C. McFarland, of Topeka, for several years land commissioner of the United States, delivered a lecture to the law classes Wednesday on the subject "United States Land Laws."

The plaster casts received from Prof. Carruth are of Luther, Schiller, Lessing, Goethe, Bismarck, Moltze, Kaisar William and the crown Prince.
All the exchanges of the Courier which have any account of the contest, speak in highest praise of the manner in which the orators, delegates and visitors were treated by the students of the University, the citizens of Lawrence and the State Association.
First Annual Meeting of the Science Club.
This afternoon what is called the first annual meeting of the Science Club will be held.

The program will be a summary of all the original work done in the scientific departments this year. The papers will be gotten up in as general a style as possible, so that each one will be interesting as well as instructive. There will be two sessions, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The subjects in the evening will be illustrated by the magic lantern. Between the sessions the members of the club will be entertained by B. W. Woodward at his residence. Everybody who is interested in science should attend the meeting. The following program explains itself. The sessions will be held in the chemistry lecture room.
