LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 10, 1885. The Junior began the history of France. We are just as drunk as we used to be. Everybody reports a pleasant time vacation. B. P. Blair sings in the Unitarian choir now. The tennis club will begin work next week. Curry has a new pair of cuffs; black ones. Spring has come. Where is that boat crew? - The Freshmen are talking up a botany picnic. Music will be the leading feature at Oread to-day. Ask Ohrum for an introduction to his latest mash. his latest mash. Buggy riding is now the order of the day, or night. the day, or night. The boys are preparing to organize a base ball club. in quizzes of late. Have you had your picture taken? D exchange with you. a base ball club. Prof. Canfield has been indulging in quizzes of late. The Juniors will have Friday, May the 8th, for their exercises. Spring fever has broken out with great severity among the students. The third hour dancing club is numbered with the things that were. Curdy's cry: "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse and buggy." Our young politicians failed to do their usual work in the city elections. A dozen of the boys had a group photo taken at Shane's Wednesday. The "Junior Night," which so stirred the souls of 86 a few weeks ago has been fixed for the evening of May 8th. The musical concert was the greatest event of the kind ever held in Lawrence. The student in analyt who has a girl also has the unfortunate trouble of "the chills." The Seniors in English Lit are reading DeQuincey's "Confessions of an Opium Eater." Prof. Canfield has a new Senior optional, "Diplomacy," which will be added to the course next year. What will become of the Friday evening hops if the holiday is changed from Saturday to Monday? Senator Ingalls has been elected to deliver the annual address in case Secretary Bayard cannot. It is rumored that one of the most popular men of '88 will leave school soon and take unto himself a wife. K. S. U. is gaining a literary reputation, judging from the number of fraternity journals published here. Chapel attendance by the faculty has improved. The higher standing will be noticed in our next report. Prof. Carruth has a class the last hour of Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, in conversational German. We hardly think it the proper thing for the profs. to read papers during prayers. A word to the wise is sufficient. The Junior German class is reading "On the Heights;" the third year Normal is taking Lessing's "Lao-coon." The question arises if all the fraternities in the U. S. were to come to K. S. U., would the barbs start a local frat. Prof. Brownell returned Monday from Blue Rapids, where he had been giving a lecture before the Ladies' Literary Association. The Phi Kappa Psi Shield, published by the Kansas Alpha chapter here, is out. The number is taken up with convention proceedings. Now does the foolish Soph wend his weary way over the hills in search of bugs, while the wise one borrows or begs from an old student. McLaren wants to know how much influence he has in a committee meeting when the other member present has three proxies and his own vote. Private remark of an Atchison billiard hall man: "I expect a rushing business for a day or two, rs I see the boys have got back from Lawrence." Misses Olive Thompson and Aggie Wright have resigned their membership in Kappa Alpha Theta. The exact causes of this step are unknown. They assigh no reason for their action. Some Senior started a petition to the faculty, but before he got it in shape, his heart failed him. He carelessly left it on his seat, and for ten days Prof. Canfield has been looking for the owner. The class in practical astronomy—star gazing—has been organized. It is the largest and handsomest in school. It meets every evening from eight until — well, that depends on mamma and the weather. The last Kappa Alpha Theta convention gave the publication of a fraternity journal into the hands of Kappa chapter at this place. The following editors will have charge: Editor in chief, Agnes Emery; associate editors, May Webster, Maggie Eidemiller; business manager, Hattie Haskell. As this is the last part of Spangler's confinement in the clerk's office, it has been thought best to surround him with a rail to keep the young ladies from maistening too great grief over his proposed departure. A neat railing and desk now make our clerk's office like a bank, and there is Henry just ready to turn cashier and evaporate toward Canada. Science Club meeting this afternoon. Prof. Snow will have an interesting paper; H. E. Riggs will explain the manufacture of paper; W. S. Franklin will recapitulate Scientific News. And now comes the pleasing report that we are to have another fraternity in our midst; not of rough boys, but of girls. Delta Gamma is said to have east her eye toward K. S. U., and six of our fair co-eds are now worshippers at her shrine. We have received the names of the charter members, but at their earnest request desist from publishing them this week. The Kappa chapter of I. C. Sorosis has accepted the resignations of membership tendered by Jeanette Oliver and Clara Hunsicker. Disturbances will occur in the best regulated societies, but like clouds, are soon dispelled by the sunlight of prosperity. The chapter is now united and harmonious, and will retain its position as the leading ladies' society in the University. This week has been one of unusual excitement among the Greeks of K. S. U., and the interest communicated to all the University. The resignations of two members from Kappa Alpha Theta surprised nearly every one. The young ladies who took their departure from I. C. were generally recognized as not belonging to the active workers, and their step did not attract much attention. It is a lamentable fact that thieves still exist in the University. We say "still exist," because on former occasions we have made complaint and through the Courier asked the proper authorities to look up the offenders, but to no effect. Overshairs, hats, umbrellas, books, etc., are taken and never brought back, which plainly shows that they were not "taken by mistake," but stolen. It is time this "branch of exercise" should be discontinued, and we again appeal to the high priests. One of the very pleasant affairs of the winter was the surprise given Prof. Carruth by a visit from a number of his pupils last Saturday evening. The occasion of the gathering was the birthday of the Professor, and the German boys and girls who have learned so much under his lead, and have ever found him an intelligent, faithful instructor, a courteous gentleman, and a sincere friend, were very glad to celebrate with him the passing of another mile stone. The evening passed rapidly and gaily, and those present had a thoroughly good time. We must not forget the refreshments which the young Deutschland attacked with the same vigor they did their Tell and Faust. At last it was time to go, and each one as he went could truly say that there never were more delightful entertainers than Prof and Mrs. Carruth, and they wished the Professor many more such birthdays.
