Franklin is the weather clerk now, and if you want it to rain, or if you want clear weather, call on him and he will give it to you for a quarter.
The serenaders met with bad luck last Saturday. Their hack broke down out in west Lawrence, and they were compelled to wend their weary way home on foot.
The many friends of Mrs. Prof. J. H. Canfield will be pleased to learn that after passing a rigid examination in original work, she has been admitted to membership in the New York City Artist League, a much coveted position among the artists of that city. She is also working half of each day in the private studio of the well known painter, Smilie.

The Junior laws are numbered with the things that were but are not. They wound up business and left for their homes Wednesday.
Orophilian reception to-night at the home of Miss Lillian Bell, on Louisiana street, promises to be a most happy affair. Every member of the society is expected to be present, formality to be entirely banished. It is the showing of the good will of the society to its retiring Seniors for the good work they have done for it. Any member not going out merely shrinks his or her part of what should be and is a pleasant duty.
Taking into consideration the fact that we get no religious training at all at the K. S. U., would it not be a good idea to establish an optional for the critical study of the Bible? Some of our students graduate without knowing which is placed first in the Bible, Psalms or Deuteronomy. If such an optional were established, which while perfectly free from all sectarian views and doctrines, would give the student an understanding of the Bible and its history, we think it would be well patronized.
OREAD. -Last Friday afternoon a rather small but enthusiastic audience greeted the opening of the session. The following officers were installed: President, W. H. Carruth; vice president, Josie Cook; secretary, Ella Ropes. The literary program was one of the best of the year. The productions all evinced great care and thorough preparation. It was as follows: Declamations, Laura Lyons, Nettie Brown, Sadie Emery, Helen Sutliff; essay, Edith Manley; orations, G. W. Harrington, W. Y. Morgan. Debate on the question. That war expenses should be paid by direct taxes instead of by means of loans. Affirmative, Gilmore and Cruise; negative, Dunn and Miss Manley. The boom inaugurated last Friday, if kept up, will soon place Oread in her old prominent position. A special committee now has charge of the program, and insure a good one for to-day. The musical director also promises to have her department well filled.
Frank Talbott, Junior law, returned to his Atchison home Wednesday, not to return. During his stay here Mr. Talbott has made an excellent reputation and many friends.
Bion Hutchings, not long since, sent Prof. Dyche a fine pelican from Kingman, which the Prof. has handsomely mounted. It can be seen in the zoological laboratory.
The Kappa Alpha Thetas received the Phi Psis at the residence of Miss Hattie Haskell last Friday evening. A most enjoyable evening was spent in dancing, conversation, card playing, etc. The occasion will be long remembered by those present.
Stocks-Loveland.
Wednesday, April 29th, at Independence, Kan., two of the University's fairest children were made one. At the home of the bride's mother, F. A. Stocks, of '84, and Miss Sallie Loveland, of '86, were united in marriage. A large number of friends were present at the ceremony, including many college friends. W. C. Spangler, of '83, and Miss Mabel Wemple of '86, acted as groomsman and bridesmaid. After a reception in the evening Mr. and Mrs. Stocks left on their bridal tour through the East, making the first stop at Chicago, and then on to New York. They will return to their Kansas home and friends in about three weeks. The Courier extends its heartiest congratulations and best wishes.

Considering the prospects of Miss Mae Sullivan for the postmistresship at her home, of which we spoke a short time ago, we clip the following from the Louisville Republican:
We are in receipt of a letter from a friend who called upon Postmaster General Vilas in person, and presented Miss Mary Sullivan's candidacy for the postmistresship at this place. He informs us that the only obstacle in the way of Miss Mary's triumphant and unopposed success was her age. No person is eligible to postmastorship under twenty-one years of age. Miss Mary is truly deserving of congratulation upon her flattering chances, and in tendering this, her many friends hope for time's hand to speedily remove the only impediment in the way of her success.
