Tenth Anniversary of Kansas Alpha Phi Kappa Psi.
Last Friday evening Kansas Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Psi celebrated the tenth anniversary of its founding in the University of Kansas. Prof. F. O. Marvin and G. W. Hapgood, 78, were the organizers, both having been former members of Pennsylvania Beta chapter, situated at Alleghany College. There were nine original members, comprising several who have won responsible and important positions in the great world of affairs since they left college.
The chapter in school has won a fair share of success, having led three classes in the last nine years, two of these class leaders now occupying positions in the faculty of the University. No class in that time has been led by a member of any other fraternity. Since the organization of the contest between the two societies, six orators out of twelve have belonged to this fraternity, being the largest number held by any other; and in the oratorical contest second place has been held once, first place once, and both first and second place once by members of this chapter.
The first college paper proper ever published in the institution was under the editorial and business management of two of their chapter members, and numerous other editorial positions have been held. At the present time the chapter consists of twenty active members.
The company assembled about nine o'clock in the Phi Psi halls in the opera house building, the first part of the evening being taken up with the following program: Music, by the Phi Kappa Psi orchestra; declamation, Miss Laura Lyons; music, violin duet, by E. L. Swope and Obe Taylor, accompaniment, Prof. F. O. Marvin; declamation, Miss Josie Cook; vocal solo, W. S. Jenks; history of the chapter, F. D. Hutchings. The guests were then invited to adjourn to Mull's where the "festive board" had been spread. Two hours were consumed in partaking of the viands and listening to the following toasts: "The Phi Psi Prep," response by W. M. Thacher; "The Phi Kappa Psi of the Second Generation," response by C. L. Davidson, of Wichita; "Old Girls, Old Boys and Old Times," response by S. T. Gilmore. Mr. E. C. Little read a letter of regret from W. J. Morse, of Oskalosa, and a poem was read by W. S. Jenks.
The following letter, accompanied by an exquisite floral design, was read, being a complete surprise to all present:
KANSAS ALPHA PHI KAPPA PSI:
Please accept my very best wishes for many happy returns of this day; and with them I send a small floral tribute which may add its fragrance to the pleasure of the occasion.
Your true friend,
FANNIE E. PRATT.

NOTES.
Mendelssohn's Music
And all other good music at Fluke's great music house; also a great stock of musical merchandise.
Fine kid gloves at Abe Levy's.
Excellent attractions still continue at the opera house. On the 5th o March we are again to be favored with a concert by the Mendelsshon Quintette Club, of Boston. The mere announcement is sufficient to insure a crowded house. The entertainment will be pleasing not only to students of music, but to any one who has the slightest musical taste. Only the composition of the best composers is to be found on the program. The lighter portion of the concert will perhaps be the vocal rendition by Miss Edith Edwards. The concert is one that no student can afford to miss, considering the low price of seats. Parquett, 75 cents; balcony less. No doubt the students will turn out in force.
Have you seen that novelty of Abe Levy's? If not, call and see it.
The students' attention is called to Jabob House's ad, in this issue.

Busy as Bees at Innes'.
Spring business has begun in earnest. Mr. Beatty, who has charge of the silk and dress goods departments, says that he is doing a large trade in black silks, colored silks and new spring dress goods. Ladies are very anxious to by their black silks at the old price. Fashion has once more issued its flat in favor of silks for ladies' dresses. Shrewd and economic buyers better buy now and save the advance. Innes' is the place to buy a reliable silk.
Boots and shoes low for cash— Mason's.
