Prof. Canfield published an article on the relation of free-trade to the farmer, in the Lawrence Journal. Congressman Haskell comes back at him with a three-colum article. The doctrines taught in the University on the tariff question are being warmly discussed by the newspapers of the state, our institution thus gaining considerable notoriety.

At a recent meeting of the Senior class, S. W. Brewster resigned his position as class day orator, for certain reasons. The vacancy was immediately filled by the election of Frank Hutchings. It is rumored that certain others will also resign. We are sorry to see Mr. Brewster withdraw from the programme, as he is undoubtedly the finest writer in the University and would have done his class much credit.
F. F. Mettner still holds to his reduced prices for students.
It is rumored that the authorities will soon quarantine against the billiard hall.

The dramatic event of the season was the appearance of "Keen" in "Richard III" at Bowersock's Opera House, Apr. 23rd. Fully two hundred and fifty of our students together with our whole corps of Professors were on hand to witness the play. Keen himself is a most powerfull actor. From the first he held his audience spellbound. In Richard he displayed himself with all the malignity, cunning and selfishness for which the character is famed. The only criticism, if any at all could be offered, was that he overdid his part in some places. The support was unworthy of the central figure. With one or two exceptions the rest of the company did not enter into the full spirit of the play. Keene was followed by Ford's Comic Opera Co. in Iolanthe. This was by far the best comic opera that has been produced in Lawrence, greatly excelling "The Mascotte." If Mr. Bowersock will continue to bring as good troupes as he has this Spring, he will be assured of a liberal patronage from the students. Robson and Crane, billed for the 15th of this month, are also spoken of very highly.
The Seniors finished their examinations last Tuesday and are happy,
