Information as to Our University
On rules, regulations, etc., in the University, we take the following from the annual catalogue prepared by the regents and faculty:
READING ROOM
More than fifty newspapers and scientific, literary and art journals add to the attractiveness of the reading room, and furnish a large and varied amount of matter of great importance to the student.
SOCIETIES.
Three literary societies, the Oread, Orophilian and Normal, and one Engineering society, are regularly organized and maintained by the students. The sessions of the first two are held every Friday afternoon, in halls permanently assigned to them and which they have elegantly furnished. The work of the present year has been very satisfactory, and the societies are in a flourishing condition.
UNIVERSITY LECTURES.
A course of evening lectures is provided for each year, to be delivered in University hall by such persons as a committee of the faculty may invite. These lectures are popular discussions of varied scientific and literary topics of general interest, and are especially designed for the benefit of students.
Courses of study and times for recitation are arranged for three daily exercises of one hour each, for all regularly organized classes. Professional and special studies are subject to special provisions.
STUDIES AND RECITATIONS.
RECORD OF STANDING.
Students are expected to pursue three studies for daily recitation, and any change from this number, or from one division of a class to another, or any exchange of one study for another, must be permitted by the faculty.
Each instructor keeps a record of class standing in collegiate classes, based upon regularity of attendance and character of recitations. At the close of each term a summary is made, and the average of daily recitations and stated examinations is reported to the clerk for entry upon general record. Any student, or the parent or guardian of any student, will be furnished with a copy of the entries relating to that student, on application to the clerk.
ABSENCES AND EXCUSES.
It is of the utmost importance, both in the formation of correct habits, and in the successful prosecution of University work, that the student maintain regular attendance at recitation and other general exercises. No excuse for absence is regarded as valid except for illness or other unavoidable prevention, and unexcused absences from recitation are entered as failures. Excuses for absence should be rendered without delay to the professor in charge.
That the generosity of the State may not be abused, and that perfect justice may be done all who are earnestly striving to make the best possible use of the opportunities offered, the faculty have established the single requirement: Unexceptionable department and stric tattention to University duties. For violation of this there is but one penalty—dismissall.
DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES.
Devotional exercises are held in University hall every morning.
EXAMINATIONS.
Written examinations of the classes are held at the close of each term, on the studies of that term. The examinations are important elements in determining the advancement of students, and absences from examinations, from any cause, are entered upon the records.
TERMS AND VACATIONS.
The Academic week is divided into two terms, the first beginning on the first Wednesday following the 4th of September. For particulars see calendar.
FEES.
There is no charge for tuition, but a contingent fee of five dollars per term, and a graduating fee of five dollars, are required of Academic and Normal students. No part of the contingent fee is refunded except for protracted absence caused by sickness.
The treasurer's receipt for contingent fee must be presented by each candidate for examination or enrollment. The fee will be returned to students not admitted on examinations. The treasurer's receipt for graduation fee is due on delivery of diploma.
Orphans of soldiers and citizens killed in Quantrell's raid, are exempt from the payment of the contingent fee.
A deposit of from three to five dollars is required of students in special chemistry, to cover loss and breakage. At the end of each term all the material returned in good order will be credited to the student, and any balance remaining will be refunded.
COURSES OF STUDY.
RECITATIONS.
These are arranged to accommodate the tastes and purposes of students. Each course is complete in itself, and no one course is designed to be easier or shorter than another. We urge students who select studies for a short time to adopt some course and pursue it so far as practicable. A special course should not be adopted until the elementary studies are mastered.
All students, whatever the course of study, recite to experienced instructors, and when the subjects studied are common to two or more courses, the students recite in the same classes. Students irregular in course must conform in time for recitation with the daily scheme. When two desired recitations occur at the same hour, preference should be given to the study lowest in grade.
Candidates for the Preparatory department, first year, must be at least fourteen years of age, must have a knowledge of arithmetic, physical and descriptive geography, English grammar, United States History, Latin grammar and reader (except for general scientific course), be able to read intelligibly and write a legible hand.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR ADMISSION.
New Board of Regents.
The Senate yesterday confirmed the appointments of Judge A. G. Otis and M. P. Stimpson, of McPherson County, for term expiring in 1886; Hon. Geo. R. Peck and C. R. Mitchell, term expiring 1887; Supt. F. A. Fitzpatrick and C. W. Smith, the first alumnus ever on the board, term expiring 1888. The Courier gives cordial greeting.
Those entering higher classes are examined on all subjects required of the classes below. These examinations occur regularly at the opening and closing of eace term. Special examinations are given at the convenience of the professor in charge. Graduates from those High schools adopting the regents' plan, receive certificates from their principals, and are not examined at the University.
New Board of Regents.
Kansas University Science Club.
The Science Club held its first meeting last Friday afternoon in Prof. Bailey's lecture room There was a large attendance, and a good program was rendered. Prof. Dyche gave an exceedingly interesting talk on his trip to the Rocky Mountains last summer, in which he related his encounters with the bears he killed, spoke of the four-foot blow-fly which inhabits that country, and gave a good idea of a naturalist's experiences in the field. J. D. McLaren then read a very interesting paper on the "Analysis of the Vowel Sounds," by means of the flames of a gas jet, illustrated by experiments, during which he entertained the audience with some of his favorite songs (?).
The constitution and by-laws were then adopted and a committee appointed to make arrangements for an excursion to the smelting works of Argentine.
The next meeting will be held in the chemistry building Friday, Feb. 13, at which the following program will be rendered: Sugar, Prof. E. H. S. Bailey; Washington's Monument, E. D. Cruise; Pressed Brick, E. D. Eames; Dry-plate Photography, R. Short; Scientific News, A. L. Adams.
After each paper the members are permitted to ask questions on the subject, so that it may be thoroughly understood.
Although the membership is already quite large, all collegiate students are invited to join the society, and everybody is invited to attend its meetings.
the literary program was indeed a "feast."
Class of'88.
Last Friday evening the much expected class party of '88 became a firm reality. Twenty-seven couple of the very brightest of K. S. U.'s boys and prettiest of K. S. U.'s girls made a brilliant sight to the theological student representing the Courier, as they whirled in the mazy waltz, trod the majestic figures of the lively quadrille and distinguished themselves in all the ways so well known to youth and beauty. The A. O. U. W. hall certainly never saw a happier, merrier crowd. After enjoying themselves for a couple of hours President Posthlwaite assumed the seat of state and called the class to order. T. F. Doran delivered the address to his classmates. Mr. Doran is well known as one of the most eloquent speakers in the University, and he certainly did himself the utmost credit that evening, and reflected honor upon '88. Miss Kate Merrill, the favorite soprano, next favored the class with a solo, which was most enthusiastically encored. Miss Pearl Young rendered a very difficult selection in her usual charming manner, and we only need say sustained her former high reputation. Mr. Franklin then delighted the audience with one of his beautiful cornet solos. All in all
REP.
But '88 has an inner man whose wants must be attended to. We are sure he was satisfied that night; for a bountiful repast awaited the class on their arrival at caterer Harris'. Then dancing was resumed and kept up till the lateness—or earliness—of the hour warned the jolly Freshman that all things must have an end, even their first and very successful class party.

J. B. Shane's Gallery.
J. B. Shane, photographer, whose advertisement appears on another page, has done some excellent work for students in the past week—work which will compare highly favorable with any which we have ever seen given out in the city. He gives students a rate of $3.00 per dozen on photographs, cabinet size, on work that cannot be gotten at another gallery in the city for less than $4.50 to $6.00. We have positively seen some work this week from his gallery which excels the greater part of the work put out by artists here or in Kansas City. This rate is given simply as an inducement for students' trade. The cry of "cheap rates for cheap work" does not hold with him. From work done for students this week it is a positive saving of money to give him patronage. Before going elsewhere give him a call and see some of this work. His rates, remember, are but $3.00 for cabinet size and $1.25 for card size photographs.
