UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
Vol. III.
LOCAL.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 13, 1885
Hurrah!
For Gilmore.
Emporia next.
Wasn't it cold?
The "graduate" didn't get there.
There are rooms all over town "to
ct."
Last Monday night was the coldest of the year.
Chapel rhetoricals have been very fine this week.
Of course Mrs. Dudley "didn't know it was loaded."
The town people did not turn out well to the contest.
The Junior Prep French class has sixty members.
Everybody is satisfied with the result of the contest.
There is a great deal of silent working going on in Oread.
The exceedingly funny man is abroad with his valentine.
Chapel attendance has been even lighter than usual this week.
Quite a number of the students froze their ears on Tuesday morning.
The State oratorical contest will be held at Emporia March 13th.
The library was very cold all this week; too cold to permit much work in that department.
The Oread political pot begins to bubble; merely the wind coming to the surface. Wait till it boils.
There were many absences Monday and Tuesday, on account of the cold weather.
A Baldwin "Junior" was here has to week, and will try to enter our Senior Prep class.
The Scientific society will try to make an excursion to the Argentine works soon.
The Junior class has shown commendable enterprise in working up the University ball.
Moot court was in session at the court house Monday night, Judge Summerfield presiding.
It is beginning to feel like home again in Oread as the "June program election" approacheth.
The members of the Oratorical Association are jubilant over the three hundred per cent. dividend.
Prof. Sterling marks an absence the same as a failure, and it has to be "marked off" in the same manner.
If the reports of the societies do not appear in our columns please don't blame us, but look to your negligent reporter.
There will be a special examination in qualitative analysis Friday, February 27th, from one to six in the afternoon.
The committee in charge of working up a crowd to go to Emporia to hurrah for Gilmore when he wins, report good progress.
The Orophilian reporter went on a
“toot” last week, we suppose. At
least his report failed to materialize in the COURTER office.
The University ball will be the event of the season. The time is set for Friday, February 20th, at Frazer hall. Very neat invitations are out, and the affair will doubtless be extremely recherche.
“Are you badly hurt, Rossa?” asked one of the “boys” when O'Donavan was shot. “Och, it's dy'namite be, for all I know.
The committee on invitations for the University ball have gotten out the invitations. Owing to inability to obtain a perfect list of students they may have overlooked some, and will be glad to rectify any such mistake.
Chapel rhetoricals for the week ending February 23d: Monday, E. G. Blair, W. S. Bales; Tuesday, W. H. Brown, E. M. Cox; Wednesday, Cyrus Crane, Ed Cruise; Thursday, D. J. Dunn, A. P. Fellows; Friday, R. Birbeck, Nettie Brown.
At Baldwin the management of the Oratorical Association is vested in the literary societies. This year they got into a row which has resulted in a split in one of the sovieties, and such a bitter war that no contest could be held, and Baldwin will not be represented in the State contest.
The remains of the Athletic Association were resurrected last Friday. The treasurer reported the rather minus financial condition of the organization, and a committee was appointed to investigate as to where the money had gone which was raised last spring. The report will be awaited with interest.

The Juniors had better not have a "Junior Night." As it is they are posted for rhetoricals for Friday mornings, when the students have to attend. But unless attendance is compulsory that evening, where will '86 get an audience?
The chapter of I. C. sorosis here, not content with taking the lead in K. S. U., has shown its usual enterprise by the establishment of a flourishing young chapter at the University of Denver. The new chapter was instituted by Miss Addie Sutliff, of '84. The I. C. feel proud, for all the other ladies' fraternities were doing their utmost to enter that University, but I. C. darted ahead and won the prize.
The Oratorical Association met Monday, and after indulging in congratulations upon the success of their enterprise proceeded to business. The net receipts of the contest were $56. After deducting enough to pay expenses of orator and delegate, a dividend of three hundred per cent was declared on stock. A committee on three, consisting of Morgan, Doran and Adams, was appointed to work up the transportation to Emporia.
Prof. Miller, librarian, received January 23, from New York, the following books: Annals of Congress, 1789 to 1824, 42 volumes; Congressional Debates, 1824 to 1837, 29 volumes; Congressional Globe, 1837 to 1866, 66 volumes; total, 137 volumes. The librarian is also about to secure 13 volumes of the Journals of the Continental Congress from Sept. 1774 to Nov. 1788. The above books constitute a complete record of American Congress from 1774 to 1866.
Oread hall was well filled last Friday afternoon when President Riggs called the society to order. The program was an excellent one, and all the productions showed great ability and work. The essay of Miss Sadie Emery was one of the best ever delivered in Oread hall. Miss Emery is one of the best writers in the University, and her essay was up to her usual standard. Mr. Markley read a funny oration. Miss Luella Moore had one of her excellent readings. Miss Nettie Brown, well known as Oread's declaimer, delivered a selection from John G. Saxe. Morris Cox followed with a very good reading. Miss Ella Ropes had an essay, well written and well delivered. Prof. Keck favored the society with a solo and delighted the audience. All Oreads hope he will repeat the favor. After recess the question Resolved, That examinations should be dispensed with in higher grade schools, was debated on the affirmative by Crane and Yeager; on the negative by Russ and Markley. A committee was appointed to secure a State charter for the society.
