ished, and entitled him to a leading place among the orators."
"France and the Huguenot" was the subject of a splendid oration by T. H. McMichael, of Monmouth College. This was probably the best oration, delivery and subject matter together. Smooth, easy and clear, his delivery attracted general admiration. The speaker's ability to express the different shades of feeling and thought was remarkable. "The judges gave first prize to Walsh, of Chicago, and the second to McMichael, of Monmouth. Champaign got third place as usual. On the whole it was one of the best contests we have had for some time, and the citizens of Carlineville were highly pleased with the entertainment."

VIEWS.
--age societies in the United States are those which hold their sessions a the evening. The arduous duties of the scholastic week so weary and attigue the diligent student and consume his time, that Friday afternoon brings to him a desire for aew minutes of rest—a breathing spell. There are many minor duties neglected through the week which we can pass no longer. Many students have permanent employment for afternoons; others desire a boat ride, others rest, while all would much rather "recrerte" than return to the literary societies to tire their already fatigued faculties. Furthermore, evening entertainments are always more appreciated and better attended than afternoon assemblages. If the plan of evening sessions could be adopted, those who were to take part in the evening exercises might have a few hours on Friday afternoon for preparation and practice, and thus the literary work need not interfere with lessons during the week. On Friday evening all the students are at leisure, and would much rather spend the evening at the societies than loiter about their rooms, loaf on the streets, or engage in useless group gossip. Besides, the Lawrence people would favor us with a large audience if we met at a suitable hour and made our entertainments more interesting. Then why not adopt the plan that will suit everybody? Why not remove the greatest barrier which now impedes our societies? This is one of the most important departments of our University work, then why should not the faculty give it some personal supervision? Come, venerable fathers, lend us a helping hand. For many years has this "neglected child" of K. S. U. struggled along under the most unfavorable circumstances. We do not even now complain. We simply beg a privilege—a permission. Grant it and we will speedily make "Oread" and "Orophilian" just objects of your pride. Does any one fear to extend the privilege of entering the University at night to any student of K. S. U? Shame on him. We love those classic halls too well to mar a single stone. Now, we besech these, listen. We are neither a dude nor a demagogue. We are extremely sincere. Let us all答应 this matter. There are "ten arguments to one" in favor of the proposition. Who says no?
AN UNPARDONABLE BLUNDER.
Editor Views:—In the Phi Gamma Delta Courier of last week some imperious demogogue again and acadiously, insolently and impudently resurrected the unpleasant memories of the Athletic Association. A diligent search having failed to reveal the perpetrator of this unpardonable insult, we take this opportunity of publicly informing him that his article displays a deplorable weakness in expediency, a singular lack of knowledge of the facts, and a remarkable substitution of falsehoods for truth. Much credit is due Mr. Watson for the generosity with which he contributed both his time and money to paying the unsettled bills of the A. A But Mr. Watson did not pay all these debts from his own pocket. There were others who subscribed liberally and paid the full amount subscribed. But we do not wish to detract one iota from the praise due Mr. Watson; we simply desire to inform this would-be editor that he has done the officers of the A. A., as well as other good students, a positive injustice.
Young man, if you ever expect to be justified in aspiring to the profession of journalism, you must learn to inquire into facts and circumstances more fully. Get over that unbridled fanaticism for reform. Be more conservative. Don't advocate more than ten great enterprises at the same time. In your wild delirium for "something to write about," do not be so bosty as to seize upon some subject about which you know nothing. *\*
A SUGGESTION.
Ed. Views:—"Hear me for my cause."
Why should our literary societies not meet on Friday evening instead of Friday afternoon? Investigation, emphasized by our own experience, has convinced us that the best col-
