Students, go to H. B. Asher's for tony turn-outs. Vermont Street.
LOCAL.
Don't forget your subscription to the Grant monument.
Miln, the famous tragedian, will play Othello in Bowersock's opera house Tuesday evening. Such a grand treat for the opening insures an illustrous season for '85-'86.
Most of the workmen who were cleaning the University were discharged Wednesday. The students employed were retained, how ever, Hurrah for September, Parrish!
We see by the Chase Co. Leader that our W. Y. Morgan will publish a daily in Cottonwood Falls during the county fair at that place. The Daily Leader will have a circulation of 1,000, and like the Courier, will be a grand success. Here's our Morgan.
The next addition to Kansas University will be a full medical department. North college is just the building for the purpose. We have the grounds, the buildings, the laboratories; all we need is one or two new professors and the permission to go to work. If we had the permission we could do good work now.
S. T. Field & Co., with their usual enterprise, this week mailed to students over the State a very neat and artistic card having a classified list of the books to be used in the different classes in the University for the coming year. The cards preserved, will be found to be a very valuable assistant on arrival here.
Page 7 of the Pharmacy pamphlet should read: "Applicants for admission to the Department of Pharmacy must satisfy the faculty that they possess such English common school education as will enable them to pursue the studies of the department with advantage. Applicants will not necessarily be examined in algebra."
We clip from a personal letter to a member of our board of regents, the following from a prominent eastern man closely associated in educational work with Prof. Wilcox, our new Greek professor:
"It strikes me Prof. Wilcox is the very man you want. He can furnish the best testimonials for education and character generally, not only in his specialty but in general intelligence. He is an enthusiast in Greek, and always has been. He has lived among the Greeks and speaks the modern language. He has the culture of European travel, and has devoted a great deal of time to Greek art and archaeology."

Midsummer Meditations.

Midsummer Meditations.
"How tempus does fugit," as the Vassar girl said to her fellow who was slow in "popping." It seems only yesterday that the boys let down their baggage from the back window at midnight hour and left for the parental domicile, where washwomen cease to trouble, and old board' bills are at rest. Now they are coming back; at least Ed Blair, the bell sheep of the crowd, has put in an appearance, and the rest will soon follow.
By the way, I notice that one of
Bob Hayslett: "The devil's to pay and no pitch is hot! I thought I'd have some fun this summer, and so got a 'solid girl' at each town I visited. Now I have just received letters from four saying they're come up to see me fair week. Guess I'll have to get a wagon and take them all out together. It knocks the fruit tree profits, though."
Lawrence can boast of a tip-top postoffice management. If a more clever and accommodating man can be found than Al Diggs, I want to see him. He has a superb lot of letter throwers around him, too. I believe the students appreciate these facts, for every one as he comes to town goes up and gives the post office boys a warm shake.
"Requiescat in pace." Them's Latin words that we learned from Prof. Robinson, and liberally translated means "rest, cat, in piece." It is sufficient to say that the cat Dyche gets rests in more pieces than any other cat in the State of Kansas. He does it up in thoroughly scientific style, for which service this commonwealth pays him twelve hundred dollars a year—a sum he could almost double elsewhere, however. His pupils very properly call him "Prof. Dyche," but I was one of his classmates, and classmates never put handles to one another's names, you know.
Burr, the whole-souled, social secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who doesn't think it a sin against the Holy Ghost to crack a smile, is getting the rooms of the Association in good trim for the students. I don't believe, either, that Burr will be taken for a confidence man, as his predecessor was.
. . . . .
A few students around town get bitten by some hard cases of K. S. U. whose worthlessness is notorious, and then raise a hue and cry about the "dishonesty of students." As I have said once before, I say again, there are fewer dead beats in the University than among an equal number of persons to be picked up anywhere else, even in our churches.
the Lawrence dailies speaks of the "Y. M.C.A. Christian Association."
Forepaugh's show, the Bismarck fair and three or four first class theatricals come in the first half of September. These are going to interfere considerably with study, or else I'm much mistaken. It will also necessitate a heavy draft on Pa's pocket.
The longer one attends the University the more he finds out. One of the things I have learned is that it is easier to get good rooms two weeks after the college opens than two weeks before. In the beginning of the year boarding mistresses are quite autocratic in their demands. Later they will take about what is offered them. No charge for the hint.
Isn't it time some one was writing an article about dormitories? There is no chance under the heavens of getting them, but it is a standard subject on which to throw ink away.
“Figures don't lie,” so they say, but examine the ages of the girls on the University record and if you don't find several huge cases of mendacity—in the figures, it will be because you are not posted as to real facts.
What the Courier Would Like to Know.
SMITH.
If all the students are warm.
If they are making up the back studies they intended.
If the boys love their home girls as much as they do their Lawrence girls.
If any other college paper in the world can equal our circulation.
What new men the frats are getting onto for the fall campaign.
If we wont all be glad to get back to Lawrence.
And the different reason there will be for such gladness.
If we can't name the Oread and Orophilian contest orators.
If the authorities will work and get us a military department.
How last year's political combinations will hold during '85.
How the new Greek professor will be received by the classics.
Why we are so tickled when we think of that wonderful consolidation of the "whangdoodles."
If the first year of the Weekly University Courier hasn't opened the eyes of the old fogies.
And if the "whangdoodles" should be allowed any seats in the Courier band wagon when they are all reserved for the stalwarts.
Why the boys beg so piteously for the Courier not to give away their summer business.
