Commencement.
The commencement this year promises to be the best in the history of the University. The week devoted to the work is filled with interesting entertainment, and large numbers of people from other places are expected. The final examinations of the year are finished Thursday, June 4th, and that evening commencement week begins with the
FIELD-GROVENOR ORATORICAL CONTEST.
This will be a contest in original oration by ten of the best writers and speakers of the University. They are now at work on their orations, and will no doubt make one of the finest contests ever held here. The subjects are assigned by the Professor of elocution, and are of practical interest. The competitors are nearly equal as to ability and experience, and the result will be interesting from its closeness.
OREAD-OROPHILIAN CONTEST
takes place Friday evening, June 5th. It is a contest between representatives selected from each society out of about one hundred members, with special reference to ability. Each society will be represented by an orator, debater, declaimer, and essayist. Owing to the inability to obtain a decision satisfactory from judges, the victory will be awarded by each person placing one thought best, first.
NORMAL NIGHT.
THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON
Saturday evening will be the annual entertainment of the Normal Literary Society, and will represent the work done by the society during the year, which has been drill and study in the art of teaching as well as the exercises common to literary societies. The society has a deservedly high rank for conscientious work, and its entertainment will be of an excellent order
will be preached in the University chapel Sunday evening, by Rt. Rev. A.C. Garrett, Bishop of Northern Texas. Bishop Garrett is a divine of great reputation and ability, and in selecting him to deliver the Baccalaureate, the Board of Regents have added greatly to the interest of commencement exercises.
CREW PRIZE FOR DECLAMATION.
This prize will be contested for on Monday morning by twelve declaimers, selected with special regard for ability in declaration. TLi is the contest in which the younger speakers will win their first laurels, and prepare the way for further advance in elocutionary contests.
THE ADDRESS BY SECRETARY BAYARD will be on Monday night. This will undoubtedly be the great event of the week. Secretary Bayard has a national and world wide reputation as a statesman and orator. He is one of the leading Americans, and his presence will be an honor to the University. The subject of his address will be "Thomas Jefferson," the founder of the American Democracy—could not have a more fitting memorialist. Great preparations are being made in Lawrence to give Mr. Bayard a suitable welcome.
CLASS DAY EXERCISES.
will be on Tuesday morning, and wil be delivered by selected members of the Senior class. This will be a very popular morning, especially with students, who will then listen to the farewell words of the graduating class. The speakers are able and popular.
THE ALUMNI OF THE UNIVERSITY will meet Tuesday afternoon to transact the business of the association. In the evening will be
ALUMNI ADDRESSES
before the association, and friends of the University, by Angelo C. Scott, of the class of 77. Mr. Scott has already made a brilliant reputation, and his address will be a great attraction. After the address the alumni will hold a reunion and banquet.
A large number have already assured the committee in charge, of their attendance, and this will be made a time for the renewal of the old college friendship, formation of pleasant relations between old and new, and general consultation as to the interest of the University.
COMMENCEMENT DAY
Bayard.
will be Wednesday, June 10th. The exercises will be by representatives of the graduating classes, and addresses by public men. The speakers are all able and competent, just the ones to close a great commencement week.
At a meeting of the business men of Lawrence Monday night it was decided to give Secretary Bayard a public reception after his address at the University on Monday evening, and afterward to have a banquet at the hall of the Jeffersonian club. A committee of eight, with Chancellor Lippincott as chairman, was appointed on reception at the University. The other members are Chief Justice Horton, Governor Martin, Senators Plumb and Ingalls, and ex-Governors Robinson and Glick and Mayor Poelher.
Mayor Poehler, Chancellor Lippincott, Judge J. P. Usher, representing the Jeffersonian Club, and J. S. Emery the Cyclones; and two representatives from the students, one from each of the literary societies of the University, were appointed to meet Mr. Bayard at Kansas City and escort him into Lawrence.

AT THE NATIONAL
BUSINESS COLLEGE
Cor. 9th and Main Sts., KANSAS CITY, - - MISSOURI.
12 Weeks, $15.
FOR THE BENEFIT OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
FOR THE BENEFIT OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS Who are occupied during the fall and winter months, and for all those who desire a knowledge of
Bookkeeping and Penmanship,
THIS SUMMER COURSE IS ESPECIALLY DESIGNED.
We can only afford during the summer months, when many students from out of the city go home, to offer such thorough and practical instruction at these Reduced Mates.
12 WEEKS, $15.
Those who take advantage of this offer will have a rare opportunity to fit themselves for teachers and accountants.
The principles of Bookkeeping are so clearly set forth, and the practice in the Actual Business Practice Department, where each student carries on a business of his own, is so accurate and real that diligence alone is necessary to gain a thorough, lasting knowledge of the terms and ways of the business world.
In connection with Bookkeeping, drill is given in the most approved methods of computing Interest and Discount, and the law governing Negotiable Paper will receive particular attention.
A Bank, Commercial Exchange, Merchant's Emporium, Real Estate Office, and Commission House
have been built in the Business Exchange, and here the students pass to and fro investing capital, renting office or store, drawing articles of co-partnership, leases, mortgages, etc., buying and selling merchandise at wholesale, retail and on commission, depositing cash, drawing checks, drafts—in fact performing in reality ALL that a man does in managing a large business.
The college currency is the cash capital of the student, and the commerce done with colleges located in Eastern and Southern cities, affords ample practice in writing business letters, telegrams, order sheets, bills, receipts, etc., etc.
The books and blanks of the bank are the same in every particular as those of the best equipped National Banks, and all business, both within the bank and with its customers, is conducted upon the strict principles that govern well-regulated banking institutions.
At the close of the lesson in penmanship, twenty practical words are dictated, and twice a week a lesson is given in the form and substance of a well-written business letter. These lessons, besides giving valuable knowledge, afford the excellent opportunity of constantly testing the pupil's progress in easy, rapid writing.
IN PENMANSHIP there will be one hour's drill each day. A plain business hand is taught. Our system of instruction invariably makes good writers of those that are not indifferent to practice.
The College is spacious, airy, well lighted and furnished.
Morning session from 9 to 12. Afternoon session from 1:30 to 4. The College is open for study from 8 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.
TIME TO ENTER.
Those who desire to take advantage of this course may begin any time before the first of August, with the privilege of attending 12 weeks from day of entering for $15.
The instruction is mainly individual, and one can enter at any time with equal advantage.
