MOTTO—Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kan sas, as second class matter.
PROF. CANFIELD's "constitution al history" in his charge is a strong study.
THE fraternity system was meant for social purposes, not political. Fraternity rule must be broken.
The musical department, under Prof. MacDonald, seems to be starting up with its boom of last year.
The motto of the Weekly University Courier, published at the University of Kansas, and claiming to have the largest circulation of any college journal, is, "Fraternity Rule must be Broken." Delaware (Ohio) Transcript.
THE COURIER's suggestion of last week on the changing the name of Oread avenue to Robinson avenue, in honor of Governor Robinson, is being received with great favor by the State press.
"CLUB" boarding seems very popular this year. Two dollars and a half per week in clubs, we understand, sets a better table than the three dollar and a half to four dollar per week boarding houses of the city.
The servility of members of one or two of the fraternities of K. S. U. to "frat discipline" is disgustingly sickening. Members thereof will perjure their very souls in the following of their leader. Manhood, principle or individuality receive no consideration.
WE STILL want college songs. Several who promised us verses therefore have failed as yet to respond. We want to get them and publish them; have them set to music, and gain admittance for a few pages in the college song-books of the country on special K. S. U. songs.
PROF. SPRING's History of Kansas will soon be here from the hands of the publishers. It is with pleasure the COURIER announces it can give a club rate of $1.75 for one year's subscription and one copy of the book, the retail price of which is $1.25. Send orders to our managers.
Sol SMITH RUSSELL in "Felix McKusick" played to a large and well-pleased audience at Bowersock's opera house Monday night. We were pleased to see a good representative attendance of students. Manager March has some of the best attractions of the season billed for here during the year, and students should take advantage of them.
OWING to unlooked-for circumstances, we have been unable to enlarge to six pages, as we had intended for last week. Our enlarged form gives us a little more room, and with this our readers will have to be contented for a few weeks at least. We only hope for the best. One dollar per year is very cheap at present size, and such will our subscription price remain.
The popularity of the Pharmacy department is a surprise to those who were not posted on the demand for such training. We are surprised, however, that young ladies over the State do not take advantage of this training. Young ladies can fill the positions of drug-gists' clerks in the compounding of medicines as well as gentlemen, while the salaries therefor are very lucrative.
BY THE University not having a chair of the Spanish language, scores of young men from our State and the Southwest are passing through our city bound for eastern colleges. A chair of Spanish, rightly advertised, with a special tuition fee attached (if it could not be otherwise supported), would the second year support itself. The wants of the great Southwest demand training in this line. The influence of young men filling important positions in that country in years to come will be great. Kansas wants their good will. Let us have a chair of Spanish.

THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
Of course all the business men of Lawrence are alive to the fact that the University is a great benefit to us, and that they should do everything within reasonable bounds to assist the boys in publishing a paper that will be a credit to the institution. But if the patronage of our merchants and other business men is spread out over a half-dozen publications, none of them will be first class. At the present time these young gentlemen have attempted
As is well known the affairs of the Courier of the University for the past week have been in an unsettled condition. Briefly, the facts seem to be that a meeting of the company was held recently, and was broken up by a body of students who virtually drove the president of the meeting and stockholders from the room, after he had adjourned the meeting to the following Monday. Monday a meeting of stockholders numbering fifty-three out of fifty-nine, were present, with the leaders of the disturbance of Friday. The young gentlemen who claim to be the "opposition" to the Courier, in the issue of Friday, were present and took active part in the proceedings. In boyish passion they got out the issue of Friday.
If every time a party fails to carry out their plans in an election as was the case with these gentlemen, they start a new paper, there would be no end to the bother and trouble that would result to our business men, and the University would not then have a decent publication. A veto should be put to the matter now, and no patronage or encouragement should be given to Mr. McLaren and Mr. Kerr in an attempt to run their "Courier", as it is plainly to be seen that Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Fritz represent the legal and moral right in the difficulty. Postmaster Shannon after investigation, has set an example and refused to admit their paper except at merchandise rates. We also understand late today, that Mr. Cutler is having trouble getting his pay for his work. -Herald-Tribune, Saturday Eee.
FACULTY PARTY.
by a scheme, to break the paper down by getting out a similar publication. It is not only for the interest of the University, but of all concerned, as it seems to us, that they should not be given encouragement in this matter.
-Herald-Tribune, Saturday Eve.
Last Friday evening Professor Robinson and his pleasant wife entertained the members of the Faculty and their wives right royally. A very pleasant supper was discussed, after which they indulged in their usual pastime of singing such little hymns as "Noad he did Build an Ark," "My Last Cigar," etc. Professors Snow and Wilcox were the great singers, while Prof. MacDonald presided at the piano. A most pleasant evening, though some indulged in rather hilarious conduct. Mrs. Robinson's entertainments have become regular features of Faculty life and Faculty hope they will long continue.-Lawrence Journal.
THE FACULTY OF PRINCETON,
Recent cases of hazing have been met by the faculty of Princeton College in a cowardly and shameful manner. It appears that a number of Sophomores have, during the first week of school, been perpetrating a number of dastardly outrages. For instance, they painted the steps leading to the chapel with grease. The perpetrators of the deed were found out, but owing to their prominence in college the faculty took no action. Emboldened by this negligence, they began a systematic course of hazing Freshmen. A number of new students were brutally treated by them, and their furniture destroyed. Again this cowardly faculty, although they had ample means of ascertaining the names of the ruffans, took no action. Because, forsooth, they were wealthy New Yorkers, and they were afraid to expel them. But the friends of the injured students have taken the matter in hand and intend to bring the hazers to justice, as well as the members of the faculty who have screened them and kept them from being punished. We hope that these friends may be successful.
Such cowardice on the part of a faculty of so prominent a college as Princeton, is unpardonable. If these hazers had been poor or without influence, we doubt not but that they would have been expelled immediately. But these wealthy young men are taken under the faculty apron and kept from their just dues. If there is any place where all men ought to be treated equally, it is before a college faculty. When the universal cringing to wealth so perverts a faculty that it is unable
to treat all students with equal justice, it is time for some one else to take a hand and regulate matters. We are pleased to learn that Dr. McCosh, the president of the college, has courage enough to say that if he had the power he would expel every one of the offenders.
EXCHANGES.
The Dennison Collegian is a neat and newsy publication from Granville, Ohio.
The Crescent, a monthly published by the students of Hillhouse High School, is a very creditable publication for young and inexperienced students. They fail to "get a very favorable impression" of the Corner, but probably when they get to be a Courant, a Crimson Advocate or a Yale Literary Magazine, they can appreciate us better.
The Shield of Phi Kappa Psi, published by the local chapter, is again before us. It is fully up to the standard of former issues, and reflects credit upon its editors. The printing is the work of W. J. Flintom, and is a marvel of beauty and neatness.
The Industrialist, from the Agricultural College at Manhattan, is again with us and has the same dry characteristics. This paper is a warning against other college facilities ever trying to publish a paper. Better give the students a chance!
COLLEGE SONGS.
Exchanges have now begun to come in thick and fast, many wearing their old familiar appearance. and others dressed in new clothes and headed by new staffs.
In the following we give our first of a series of verses appropriate for college songs. To various members of the Alumni will we be indebted for the composition, while we hope in a short time to be under great obligations to Prof. MacDonald for the music for some of the more select of them. The author of the following desires name withheld.
MARCH — MILES.—Last evening Mr. W. F. March and Miss Lena Miles were married at the residence of the bride's father, Capt. John D. Miles, in South Lawrence. Miss Miles is a former student of K. S. U. and a member of the I. C. Sorosis, which was present in a body, Mr. March is well known to all the students as a most pleasant and affable gentleman. He is at present cashier of the Douglas County Bank and is treasurer of the University. Chancellor Lippincott performed the marriage ceremony. The wedding was a mos brilliant affair and Mr. and Mrs. March were the recipients of a large number of costly and valuable presents. They will make Lawrence their home. THE COURIER wishes them abundant success.

NOTES.
ADA RICHMOND OPERA COMPANY.
The Ada Richmond Opera Company will appear at the opera house Monday evening next. They have been betting some of the best press notices of the season. Through the efforts of Manager March the cut rate 75, 50 and 25 cents has been secured for here. From the Milwaukee Evening News of Sept. 19 we clip—
BURLESQUE AT THE ACADEMY — "The Sleeping Beauty," which will be produced at the Academy next week, commencing Monday evening, by the Ada Richmond Burlesque Company, is founded upon the familiar fairy story about a beautiful princess who is condemned by a fairy to sleep for a hundred years, and who is awakened at the end of that time by a kiss from the inevitable prince, whom she marries. This is the rather slender story of the piece. However, the principal features of the entertainment are said to be entirely independent of the burlesque, which only serves the purpose of introducing marches dances, drills and the latest and most popular songs, including selections from "The Mikado," "Nanon," "The Black Hussar," and other new operas. The popular song "Read the Answer in the Stars," will be given. The costumes are said to be very rich and the chorus girls extremely pretty. A scene representing the Bartoldi statue, with Miss Richmond surrounded by thirty dies in the costume of French zouaves, as Liberty, forms the final of the piece. The ballets, morche and zouave drills are said to be new and beautiful. The company has been playing to good business in Indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago
It is rumored that one of the graduates of the class of '85 will will soon be married to a former young lady student of K. S. U.
C.D. Dean "took in" the grand reunion at Topeka Wednesday.
One of the finest halls in the city for social gatherings is now vacant over Leis' drug store, and for rent cheap. For a society room, etc., it cannot be exciled.
M. J. Keys, of '84, editor and proprietor of the Solomon Valley Democrat, visited K.S. U. Monday.
