Some of the boys speak of remaining here all summer—to attend summer school you know. The Leavenworth High School girls are daisies—we are all broke up on them. Come again. We prophesy: A fine game of base-ball. A good Field Day. A good contest to-night. A week of fun for everybody. An immense crowd. Lots of buggy riding Sunday. That we will go home busted. Lots of buggy riding Sunday. That Hope's business will decline after June 10. That the next issue of the Courier will be a daisy. The finest commencement K. S. U. has ever seen. Tickets to the gallery at Bayard's banquet can be secured at 25 cents at the Courier office. Ponies were in great demand this week, but the bottom has dropped out of the market now. Higgins on "Tolerance;" and McLaren on "Cardinal Richlieu's Ambition" carried the day. A certain young lady says she doesn't like to have K —r kiss her because he bites so hard. A. P. Fellows and W. W. Russ have fine collections of birds in for one of the prizes in Zoo. The next COURIER will be issued Wednesday morning. Look out for it, it will be a good one. One of the boys who is put down as J. P. in the catalogue is running a weekly paper at Sabetha. The requirements for admission to the Freshman class have been raised by twenty weeks of German. Shattuck is fast losing his good sense. We heard yesterday that he was almost as crazy as Wemple.

Prof. Dyche secured a monkey of the John Robinson circus, and now has it very prettily mounted, in a study on Darwinism. The collections of birds this year are the finest ever handed in. That of Will Russ are especially worthy of mention. Why does not the chemical building appear in the catalogue? We believe in showing off all you have, and the chemical building is one we need iot be ashamed of. One hundred and seventy-five in the collegiate department. Come on, Washburn and Baker, we are ready now for a comparison. All students whose subscriptions are paid by June 10, should see that the managers have their address that they may receive the Courier during the summer months. The Phi Gams and Phi Delts met in friendly contest on the diamond last Friday afternoon, and victory perched upon the banner of the Phi Delts. The banquet to be given to Secretary Bayard will be the finest ever given in the city. This is as it should be; we cannot pay too much honor to such a distinguished citizen. Hurrah for McLaren. 'Rah for Higgins. The discontinuance of the Normal department brings a like end to the Normal German classes which have been so convenient for students with back work and conflicting studies. Field Day is now an assured success. The business men have not been backward in giving prizes, and the students are entering into the thing with something like old time enthusiasm. The Washburn base-ball club is expected, and if they do not come a game will be played with the town boys. On last Monday evening the last musical concert of the season was given, and the success of the entertainment was very gratifying both to the audience and management. The vocals were unusually good, and the instrumentals elicited no less applause. A large crowd was in attendance. Prof. Sterling and family, together with his brother and family contemplate spending the summer months on the plains of western Kansas in a "prairie schooner." The professor makes this trip especially for pleasure and recreation. We hope to see him return in the Fall sunburned and in his usual good health, with his hair cut long. Prof. Canfield, president of the State Teacher's Association, was in town yesterday in the interest of the December meeting. He expressed the utmost confidence in the success of the executive committee in working up great gathering—the greatest ever held in the State. The program is already nearing completion, and will be issued in time to reach the county Normals. Relative to the possibility of securing the next session of the National Association, Prof. Canfield was equally hopeful. Prof. Canfield leaves for the east immediately after commencement.—Commonwealth. Last Friday morning the train from Leavenworth brought to Lawrence the Senior class of the Leavenworth High school, who had come by invitation of Dr. Lippincott to visit the University. The class was thirteen strong—all girls—and they brought joy to the hearts, and happiness to the faces of the K. S. U. boys who were fortunate enough to be on the committee of reception. After a tour of observation over the University, dinner was announced and a neat spread in Prof. Snow's room soon satisfied the wants of inner man and woman. Then the sight seeing was renewed until train time compelled a cessation, and the four thirty train took the Leavenworth girls home, after a very pleasant day—to the K. S. U. boys. May they come again and come to stay. PERSONAL. W. S. Whirlow will be here next week. E. F. Neal left for home yesterday Postlewaite is a bad man on strawberries. George Watson will be on hand to tomorrow. Barlow Lippincott has returned to Lawrence. Yeager returned Monday for examinations. Lida Griffith returned Wednesday from the East.

Miss Frank Hunt came over from Leavenworth with the Senior class of the High School, and will spend commencement with her Lawrence friends. The members of the I. C. Sorosis were very pleasantly entertained at the residence of Miss Sue Miles yesterday afternoon. Prof. Carruth was evidently intended for a sign painter, judging from the ornamental work on the lecture and concert advertisements. A telegram from Angelo Scott last week announced his illness and inability to deliver the alumni address, and J. W. Gleed, alternate, will fill his place. Andrew Atchison writes that he will not probably be able to attend commencement this year. To the Courier he indulges the sentiment: "Death to fraternities—millions for freedom and light, but not one cent for college clanism."
