The Senior class of the Topeka High School expect to attend the contest in a body. A large party from the Indian school looked through the University last Saturday. The zoologists have their choice whether to make a collection or take two hours laboratory practice. What massive intellectual brows have come to light since the pompour hair rage struck the University. The Seniors will be through next Tuesday. Their final examinations will be held Monday and Tuesday. The chart for the contest will probably be opened next Modday morning at Field's. Tickets sold at 75 cents each; balcony, 50 cents. Are there going to be any arrangements made for entertaining the visitors next Friday. If there are it is time something was being done. The judges on delivery for the contest will be Gov. Martin, Eugene Ware and Rev. Thompson, of Kansas City. The gentlemen are well known as orators, and will doubtless render a just and satisfactory decision. Prof. Nichols will deliver a lecture on the history and uses of the magic lantern Saturday evening, at the Episcopal church. The proceeds will be devoted to the interests of the Sunday school. Price of admission, 25 cents. Prof. A. G. Canfield delivered a lecture at third hour on the great German artist, Durer. Quite a number from the city who are interested in art were present. The lecture was very interesting, and quite graphic in its account of Durer's life and work. Horton's Song. Little girl with dainty feet Bitingly dying down the street, The toughest heart you would beguile With your sweet face and winning smile Little girl, I love you well, How much my verse can never tell.

Little girl with dainty feet LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 30, 1886. Pay your subscription. Pharmacy and Junior botany go hand in hand apparently. We find the Junior pharmacists roaming over the campus and over the "wild woods" intent upon floral collections. Sexton and a small party caught last Monday, instead of a Dandy Lion, a big bull snake, which they brought in as a specimen (botanical or otherwise), all the same. The Kappa Alpha Teta journal was issued this week. The University was well represented in the church choirs last. Sunday. An elegant new bulletin board has been placed under the electric clock. The toxicology class have a "cat committee" and a "dog committee." John Hutchings delivered a lecture to the law classes Thursday morning. The Seniors have received samples of invitations, etc., and are troubled which to follow after. Some people seem to think it costs nothing to publish a paper. Well it does cost something.

The young gentlemen of the Ph Kappa Psi, who are rooming at the Walker mansion, and Y. M. White and Will Douglas, were entertained by Miss Jennie Walker last Friday, The catalogue of the University will be issued the last of next week. The COURIER suggests that they be distributed to the contest visitors. It would do the University an incalculable amount of good. A fine time is reported by those who attended the Science Club picnic. Many interesting specimens were found by the botanists, zoologists and geologists. Two large ratle snakes and an immense pilot snake were captured. There will be four catalogues published this year. One for the College department, one for the Law department. one for the Pharmacy department and one for the Musical department. The University surely booms. DEAR SIR—What is the tuition fee for two children, one seven and the other twelve years old, quarterly or by the session. Boy past twelve and the girl past seven. Please answer by return mail and oblige. There has been some talk of a vacation next Thursday and Friday. One of the professors has signified his willingness to such, The Courier thinks, if the time can be spared, that we ought to be allowed the vacation. That day will be the grandest day in the history of the University. Let us at least have Friday, so there will be no lessons to learn Thursday afternoon, and we can take Friday to recuperate. The following is from a letter recently received by Clerk Little. The gentleman who wrote it must have thought that K. S. U. ran a nursery or a kindergarten school in connection with the University: To the Professor: Prof. Wilcox, assisted by Prof. Sterling and wife, entertained the Greek classes last Friday evening. The evening was spent in social conversation, singing and examining the Professor's large collection of photographs of Greek works of art. Elegant refreshments were served, to which the Greeks responded nobly. A pleasant time is reported by all. Pay your subscription. Pay your subscription. To the Professor : The following is the list of contestants at the inter-state contest as far as can be ascertained at date of going to press: B. D. Smith, of Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa; E. C. Ritsher, Beloit College, Beloit, Wisconsin; Howard H. Russell, Oberlin College, Ohio; F. J. Walsh, Chicago University, Chicago, Ill.; J. S. Adams, Depau University, Greencastle, Ind; S. B. Glover, Denver University, Denver, Colo.; H. S. Dungan, Doane College, Crete, Nebraska; C. S. Crane, State University, Lawrence, Kansas. A very poor audience assembled in the chapel Tuesday evening to hear Prof. MacDonald's lecture on Ruskin. It was one of the best lectures we have had this year, and the manner in which the subject was presented showed that he had given it very careful study. As is usually the case with a good lecture, but few people were present. Yet we cannot blame them, since the standard of our lecture course is so low. If we could have a few good lectures like this one in place of so many poor ones, a larger attendance would be assured. The treatment of our boys at Baker University was disgraceful in the extreme. We mean nothing against the ball club, for they were gentlemen—evidently the only ones on the ground. This department of the Courier has always had an idea that "Smith" was too hard on the Bakerites in the "Saints and Sinners," but now we believe he was not severe enough, for such a howling, screeching, hissing mob of kids, such as composed the audience last Friday, would disgrace a reform school. If they were not students, we beg the Baker University's pardon; but if they were, then we extend our sincere sympathy to Baker ball club. The K. S. U. ball club played their first match game of this season with the Baker club, at Baldwin, last Friday. The game was interesting and close throughout, some good playing being done by both sides. Hickey's batting was especially noticed as good. Tomlin's catching, Neal's pitching and good base-men made the game hotly contested for by the Baldwins. At nine innings the score stood six to six, to be played out in the near future. The following composed the K. S. U, nine: Tomlin, C.; McBride, 1st b.; Hickey, R. F. and C.; Rushmer, S. S.; Griffith, C. F.; White, L. F. Hogeboom, 2nd b.; Campbell, 3d b. Neal, P. Highbargain, Umpire. Pay your subscription. E. D. Eames is at work on a pressure gauge.
