A. J. GRIFFIN IS SELLING LEAVENWORTH SHAFT FOR $3.50. TRY IT. TELEPHONE
SULLIVAN.—Mr. John Sullivan entertained his old staff and a few of his friends at dinner last Sunday. The dinner was one of the finest ever spread in Lawrence, and the boys did justice to it. After drinking to the health of Mr. Sullivan, several toasts were proposed, the leading one being "Long life to the Courier." Mr. Sullivan responded to this in a very happy vein. John omitted nothing which would tend to make the occasion a happy one, and after dinner pure Havannas were provided. Those present were S. W. Shattuck, Oscar Poehler, R. E. Hayslett, W. T. and Frank Reed, J. E. Griffith, Chas. Elwell, W. W. Davis, Al Curdy, A. W. Postlethwait, Ross Wemple, A. L. Burney, W. Y. Morgan, E. G. Blair and Harry Smith.
Concert.
The concert given by the musica department last Tuesday evening was the best of the course, and the audience was much larger than usually assemblies on such occasions. The audience paid closer and better attention than is usual on such occasions. This was due in a large measure to the fact that the audience was not annoyed by cries and howls from the small boys who generally frequent such places, but on this occasion was prohibited.
All of Prof. MacDonald's selections were well received, as they always are. The duet by Miss Hattie Haskell and Prof. Aldrich was one of the treats of the evening. Both are general favorites with Lawrence audiences, and last night added another laurel to their crowns. Prof. Aldrich also sang to good advantage in his two baritone solos. Miss Birdie Starr's soprano solo certainly merited the applause it received. Miss Starr is one of the finest soprano singers in Lawrence. Prof. MacDonald and Mabel Gore executed a most difficult duet on two pianos. Miss Gore is making an excellent reputation as a pianist. The concert was so successful on the whole, that there is talk of having it repeated.
The action of the faculty which has prevented the students from discussing political subjects from the chapel rostrum, although, perhaps, warranted by some considerations, is in other respects quite objectionable.
The whole subject of this restriction, so far as we are informed, is to prevent any criticism of a political nature which might be brought against the teachings of the University.
It is the opinion of the COURIER, as the representative of the students whose interests are to be consulted quite as much as the interests of the faculty, that the price paid for this indolent peace is too great. Under this restriction the interest which formerly was manifested by the students in the affairs of our government and the world is continually decreasing. The student ought to be well informed on all the political questions of the day. But this would require an amount of reading quite beyond the limits of the spare time allotted to any student. By permitting the free discussion of these subjects from chapel rostrum, this very desirable information could be obtained without loss of time. A great interest would be taken in all the social and political questions which so soon will present themselves with stern reality. Perhaps we would get more criticism, but is that to scare us out of the ligitimate pursuit of knowledge?
B. D. Smith, a Junior from Cornell College, will represent Iowa at the inter-state oratorial contest. The subject of his oration is the "Interdependence of Moral and Intellectual Development."
Beyond the Portals.
Angel, open wide the portals,
Pray withhold not now thine hand ;
Let us see the golden splendor
OC that bright celestial land
Long wee struggled in the darkness,
Fears and doubts our spirit grieve;
Let us see the Heavenly Mansion, that we fully may believe.
And the Angel, in compassion, Opened then the portals wide
To the Mansion of the Blessed Followers of the crucified.
Angel, wide wide the portals,
Still, was all the supiniform's plea :
Let me see the throne of glory,
Emblem of Eternity.
"Lo, the Mansion is before you!" Sweetly spake the Fair fair,
"In the joys of noble Manhood You can see it everywhere."
Heaven has no titrations, Knows of neither time nor space;
It is *quality* or *nurge*, Found in Character—not place.
Then he saw beyond the portals
Sainted millions gone before,
While the waves of countless ages Brooke in ripples on the shore.
Angel, we have seen the Mansion,
Fears and doubts no longer erieve.
If our character makes Heaven,
Surely we may then believe.
What the Courier Would Like to Know.
Where Griff spends Sunday evenings now.
If a lately converted tenor singer hasn't fallen from grace.
Who is ahead, Horton or Curdy.
If Al Curdy doesn't loom in side whiskers.
Why the Freshmen didn't have their party.
Who will get faculty appointments. And what is the rule for making such appointments.
If oratorical stock isn't a good investment.
If any more mufflers have been stolen since the COURIER showed up the thief.
Who is the best billiard player in school.
And if Graham couldn't rub Templin pretty hard at that game.
Why you don't pay your subscription to the Courier.
