It is with regret that the Cocurier this week bids good by to its faithful President E. L. Ackley. He helped the paper in every way and cheered the editors. Though his interest in the Cocurier is not the least abated, and though he will continue to brighten its pages with his thoughts, yet we are both to lose his official help.
Last Friday the literary societies had to hold a joint session in order to have any kind of a program. This we honestly think is due to the meetings being held in the afternoon. Why can we not have night sessions? From the present outlook we are to have no lectures, and no free shows of any kind that we can take our girls to. O tempora! O mores! Give us night sessions.
The COURIER company held a meeting Wednesday, and elected W. L. Kerr, President; E. A. Wheeler, Business Manager, and Joseph Rolston, Associate Editor. The presidency was resigned by E. L. Ackley because he had joined the fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta. The other vacancies were caused by the election of their incumbents to other places, E. A. Wheeler has been acting business manager for the last three weeks, it being necessary that part of W. L. Kerr's time be spent on his Ottawa Daily Local News.

Last Saturday night being Hallow-en, four extra night watchmen were sworn in, and with the regular one Supt. Parish had a solid pladanx of five on duty to guard the University. Through the long weary hours of the night, while the students were in the land of dreams, this little band of five watched and waited and watched. Gen. Parish kept his men garrisoned in the guide's room, with orders not to stir, for "We'll catch the boys you know." He cheered his braves with games, songs and jokes. Not a soul ventured near the building, and no one was within calling distance save the immortal five themselves. At three in the morning they crept silently to their homes. When the eastern sky began to redden, the day watch held Mt. Orread with peaceful thoughts, but be! and behold? Prof. Snow's skeleton had during the still hours of the night, silently crept upon the roof and committed suicide by hanging itself from the caves over the porch at the entrance. Oh, terrible spectacle! When the anatomy students saw the sight they wept tears. Every loyal student of the K. S. U. should for the next thirty days wear a badge of mourning. The halls should be draped and memorial service should be held in chapel every Friday morning in place of roll call for the rest of the term.
We have received the prospectus of the North, Central and South American exposition, which opens on November 10th at New Orleans. This new company has been organized with a capital of $800,000. It has purchased the buildings and plants of the World's Exposition, and is now in possession of the same. It proposes to inaugurate even a greater and more interesting exposition than the magnificent World's Exposition. The new company starts out under the most favorable circumstances, with the buildings and accessories in hand and in order for occupancy, and paid for, the great bulk of their work is already accomplished. Many of the prominent exhibitors at the World's Exposition have left their exhibits intact. Large numbers will return with greatly increased and far more attractive exhibits, and applications for space for new exhibitors are pouring in every day.
The recent election in Orophilian is a lesson to all literary societies. For some time past the Orcades have been accused of being the worst political squabblers in school. But this year the tables have been turned and the disease has spread into Orophilian. The barbs arose in a body and "downed" the frats. We sincerely hope that the day is near at hand when these elections can be carried on in a quiet manner. The whole thing can be simmered down to the desire on the part of each of the fraternities to say in their respective magazines that one brother took such an honor, and another took another. Now if the different orders would hold a so-called Pan-Hellenic convention and agree not to publish any list of honors taken in the oicalidad magazines, but let such things be communicated in the chapter correspondence, we believe the eohly contested elections would in a measure be checked. There has been considerable written on the subject of fraternities of late, but there is no need of wasting any more paper or ink, for they are here now and it will take a miracle to drive them away. Records show that in no case where anti-fraternity regulations have been adopted, have they been forced to retire, nor they have been kept away from any college they chose to enter. The way we propose above is to us seemingly the shortest way out of this matter of society elections.
W. Y. Morgan, a young man who graduated from the University in June last, has been engaged as city editor of this paper. Mr. Morgan, in addition to being a graduate, is also a practical printer, and the son of an editor and practical printer, and takes to journalistic pursuits instinctively. With his assistance we hope to keep the Herald-Tribune up to its past record, and do still better. We take great pleasure in introducing Mr. Morgan to our readers—Monday's Lawrence Herald-Tribune. And the COURSE takes great pleasure in the fact that our Morgan has such good luck. But we expected something like this, for didn't C. D. Dean, our grand old business manager, step out of the COURSE into the same position, before he went on the Journal? Morgan and Dean, city editors of the two Lawrence dailies. Verily, the University is a power in the land.

The ornamental motto is disappearing. In the good old days it was deemed quite the thing for a publisher to announce, just over his date lines, that he was "independent in all things and neutral in nothing." It was understood that something must go in there, and this was handy and familiar. We notice that the motto is going into the garret with the other old furniture, and publishers prefer to lengthen their first page columns and obtain more space for reading matter, rather than to waste the space with a threadbare announcement. — Neahoo Co., Republican.

Why is it that Kansas does not stand among the first instead of among the last in the inter-State oratorical contest? The question is answered by the fact that her representative does not have time to half prepare an oration. Illinois has already selected her speaker. Can you not see why she generally comes out ahead? Her representative will probably go to some school of oratory and there be drilled on his piece until he has it down to perfection. At least this has been done, and it probably will be repeated. Now let us have the local contest the latter part of this month, the State contest about the first of January, and that will give our representative a good long time to do his subject justice, and thus stand a good chance to come out ahead. Let us not be contented with fourth place; let us strive for first. Officers of the Association, wake up and have an early contest.
The young people of Kansas can congratulate themselves on having such a school as the University in which to complete their education, and can thank heaven that its founders had the foresight to start such an institution. Moreover, every boy and girl in the State should take advantage of the opportunity to gain knowledge through this source. We can truthfully say that it is the best college west of the "Father of Waters," and better than a majority of those east of it. It is known all over the United States, and even attracts students from neighboring states who wish to gift a good education. Some $ the wealthier inhabitants of the $ state think it best to send their children to eastern colleges, and they generally return just well fitted enough to enter the University of Kansas. All they learn there is how to wear clothes and how to spend money. Everyone should take great pride in helping build up the K. S. U., and may each year see its name grow brighter and brighter in the list of American colleges.
The new president and new business manager are rustlers from way back two months ago, and will continue the good work.
Students' Views.
Why would it not be a good plan to introduce something into the matter of chapel rhetoricals to relieve it from its dull monotony? As it is at present everything which could arouse interest or excite enthusiasm is scrupulously excluded. The discussion of the religious or political questions of the day are forbidden, or if allowed at all, it must be strictly orthodox, and thereby stripped of all power to excite reciprocal discussion. It is too discouraging to think that the matter is to always have its present aspect. If some expression of opinion were made it is reasonable to suppose that the faculty will at least allow something of less restricted expression of individual opinion to be introduced by way of novelty.
Last Friday the two literary societies met in Orophyllian hall and a joint program was rendered. And considering the exercises were mostly extemporaneous, it was exceptionally good. This is a move in the right direction. I do not want to advocate frequent joint sessions, but two or three during the year would be productive of much good. First, they create a social and friendly feeling between these rival societies which has not existed heretofore for want of a better knowledge of each other. I think I am safe in saying that at least one-third of the members of either society have never attended a meeting of the other society. The literary contests, although they are incentives to better, and give to the ambitious student opportunity to air his knowledge, give rise also to prejudices which make it impossible for a member of one society to appreciate the production of a member of the other. These joint meetings will better acquaint the members of one society with those of the other, remove the existing prejudices and hard feeling and will in no wise distract from the loyalty of a student to his own society. They break the monotony of the meetings, and excite the members to better work in their own halls, and give to each a more intelligent appreciation of his own society.

The man who keeps well abreast of the times, even though he has little college training, is as well equipped to fight the battles of life and make himself felt as a man among men, as is the college graduate who has allowed the happenings in the world at large to pass unnoticed. What the spirit of the present demands is the man who reads the newspapers, not carelessly and mechanically, but carefully and intelligently.
What the 19th century needs is the man that can talk intelligently upon the various political and financial questions that agitate the world from day to day.
The college student with his lessons to get, literary societies to attend, and perchance if he be ambivalent for fame, his work to prepare for some contest which he intends to enter, gets but little time to read the newspapers and keep posted as to what is happening in the world around him

Why not relieve the monotony of our literary societies now and then by turning from the beaten path in which they have traveled ever since their organization, of rehearsing old declamations, dilating over and over again a few stereotyped questions about which none of us know scarcely anything, trying to drag from under the dust of ages events and notions that effect the destinies of men who have long since passed away, and devote our time once in a while to the present. In a word, why not stop
It is to be regretted that too little attention is paid to the subject of Latin composition. The thorough knowledge of the grammatical construction and symmetrical arrangement of words is indispensable to the student who expects to make Latin a specialty, or ever to obtain a firm understanding of it. The time spent in reading half a dozen superfluous authors could be expended with infinitely more of profit to the students in a complete and exhaustive exposition of the principles governing the syntactical construction of words, and their proper and orderly arrangement in the sentence. The students' perception of the beauties and technical niceties of the language would be suspended. He could appreciate to a fuller extent the wonderful consciousness possible in Latin. As it is, he skims over a dozen authors and excels upon them an amount of time and study which, applied to the reading of half so many and the acquisition of a completer knowledge of Latin construction, would result in an infinitely more valuable fund of information. All this is as applicable to the matter of Greek composition and perhaps more so. But Latin has a broader and more extended scope and affects a larger number of students.

I would like to say a few words upon that old and ever-brammered question, the annual course of lectures supposed to be provided by the faculty and delivered to the ever-grateful students. I do not desire to say aught slighting or overlooking the earnest and conscientious work done by some of the faculty. But our courses of lectures have been for the most part brilliant and conspicuous failures. No ability above mediocrity has been engaged, and the majority of the students have had a surfeit of pretentious common-places. The student cannot in reason be expected to climb the historic hill to hear what he has heard a hundred times from school house orators and canoeists. To this class of lecture there have been many exceptions, but it is true in the main. But any lecture is better than none. Is it about time the faculty were bestirling themselves and inaugurating a lecture course for the year. It is just as easy to raise the intellectual and literary standard of the matter presented to the student as it is to dispel the same eternal rehash of rhetoric which the student is expected to feed upon and say grace in the bargain.
M.
I think that every student of the University of Kansas is to be recruitged upon the quiet and gentle manly manner in which the annual pandemonium passed off. Herefore the student has been made the scapegoat of every wild prank and act of practical vandalism, and was too much foundation in fact. But this year there was a noticeable absence of all those malicious acts mischief which find their higher pleasure in the unscrupulous and its discriminate destruction of property. It was something unusual as to quite refreshing. Let us continue to sustain the reputation we have begun and show the patrons and friends of the University that their patroness and friendship is not wasted upon crowd of respectable loafers or get-tell vandals.
