12 UNIVERSITY COURIER. Some of the "flipest' straw hats ever received in the city can now be seen at Bromelsick's Shirt Depot. A number of the boys recently received notes from the faculty to the effect that time invested in study brought much larger dividends than that expended on billiards. Bromelsick has the fullest line of summer furnishing goods, in latest styles. The Young Men's Christian Association will soon open up a parlor and reading room in the rooms facing Massachusetts street adjoining the Phi Gamma Delta hall. The newest spring and summer styles in all goods at Bromelsick's. Miss Mary Gillmore, another Courier editor was elected to deliver the address of thanks to the Seniors for the gift of the ancient hat. Mr. C. Kegan Paul, whose recent paper on Cardinal Newman will be remembered by readers of The Century, has written for the May number of that magazine a brief biographical sketch of the other great English prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, Cardinal Manning.

The members of the Engineering Society have commenced a series of observations for the purpose of determining the true magnetic meridian. The result of their labor will be published at the end of the month. See the large picture of Prof. Canfield at Mettner's. Satisfaction guaranteed at Mattner's. Some think that the great work of a student's dining club is buying provisions. This is a mistake. The work is in collecting from the members. The Riverside Studio is fitted up with the latest improvements. We are sorry to learn that Prof. Taylor will resign his position as Professor of Elocution at the end of the year, to accept a more lucrative situation in Roberts College Constantinople. Prof. Taylor, while with us, has done some excellent work for his classes. His departure will be a great loss to those who have been under his instruction during the year. New invoice of spring goods at Bates & Fields. Prof. Trueblood, one of the conductors of the Kansas City School of Oratory spent the 6th in Lawrence. It is stated that a number of our students will attend his school during the summer. Before you go home buy your books for summer reading at Bates & Fields'.

We told Britton he'd get hurt if he didn't stay at home. Spring has come and students can get some nobby canes at Bromelsick's. The latest "mash" is a "mangle." This does not apply to the mashing sun bonnet. Any members of '84 having a key to the laboratory desks will favor by returning it to Prof. Snow. The Zoology class used them for their practice. Mrs. Gibbs was several years engaged in millinery and dressmaking in our city and was known far and wide as proficient in her business. The ladies of any community are fortunate in having her to supply their wants in either of the above lines of trade. See ad. W. D. CRANDALL. Ed. and Pub. Gazette. Now the Seniors are happy for Mettner is taking their pictures. Prof. Campbell has an admirable way of ridding her class of poor pupils by giving examinations before they begin reading Prince de'lArt. Butler and Smith have engaged half a dozen rooms so that they may be sure of one place when "bounced" from the others. The Phi Delta Theta boys have taken quarters over Well's, Fargo Express office. The Junior class is beginning to recover its former strength. Twenty-four members were present at the late class meeting. Miss Hattie Pugh has also returned to lend her aid. The Murdoch dramatic reading at the opera house was a treat that our students seldom enjoy and one that should have been more liberally patronized. Mr. Murdoch was almost the first pioneer in the field of elocution, being world renowned before any of our students were born. Though somewhat enfeeble by age, the great elocutionist possesses a voice as rich and impressive as ever. We are glad to learn that those who brought him here were repaid for their trouble. When the recent cold spell came, requiring a new supply of coal the boys howled. When the rain compelled them to get hacks for the Abbot opera they———, no we wont tell what they said. Abbott might hear it. Bates & Fields renew their offer of a prize for the best oration delivered during commencement week.
