The petition to the Harva. Incurs to abolish morning chapel exercises received over nine hundredS signatures. How many of our 134 collegiates would refuse to sign such a petition?
The following is the program of the SciEche Club this afternoon: Interesting talk, Prof. Miller; Forth Bridge, Richard Birbeck; Tides, O. C. LeSeur; Scientific News, Prof. Nichols.
NORMALS.—House called to order at the usual hour. The following exercises were well appreciated: Song, by the quartette; reading, Laura Rose; declamations, Misses Eddy and Diffenbacher; a paper read by Miss Black, on government of primary schools, gave rise to a vivacious discussion. The question, Resolved, That a nation should fear prosperity rather than adversity, gave vent to the mental pugnacity of Messrs. Rose and Nowlin vs. Miss Eddy and M. L. Field. Verly, "when great men differ, who shall decide?"

Field-Grovenor Oratorical Contest.
The contest which takes the place of the "Field contest" has been fixed for the Thursday night before commencement. The following orators were selected, and their subjects assigned by the professor of elocation:
W. H. Brown, "Luther's Moral Courage."

W. L. Burney will visit A. L. Sunday.
Next. Tuesday evening Hon. Noble L. Prentiss will deliver the seventh lecture of the University course upon the subject of "The Temptations of Smith." Not only should every student be in attendance, but it would well pay the citizens of Lawrence to climb the hill. We clip the following from the Manhattan Industrialist;
Probably the largest audience that has assembled for many years in Manhattan to hear a lecture, greeted Mr. Prentiss in the College chapel last evening. Of the lecture itself, we cannot now speak as we could wish. It is enough to say that it was full of the wit, humor and keen analysis which has made Prentss' name a household word in Kansas. The lecture received the closest attention, apparently, from every one of the great audience, and every hit was heartily applauded. A good many Kansas communities will wish to hear Prentiss' resume of "The Temptations of Smith."

Last Tuesday evening James W. Steele delivered the sixth lecture of the course to a small audience. His oration was finely written, but his voice was hardly strong enough for the hall. He described the manners and customs of the Esquimaux, and contrasted them with ours. He spoke strongly and at some length against any further Arctic explorations. The next lecture will be delivered by Noble Prentiss next Tuesday evening.
The habit of some of the students not to bring the young ladies to society is certainly beyond excuse. Pluck up courage boys!—Collegiate. It is wonderful how opposite tendencies are in different students. With our boys there is an excess of courage on that line.—Baldwin Index. We would suggest that it is not the "tendencies in different students," but the fact that at some colleges the societies meet in the afternoon, and at others in the evening.
