UNIVERSITY COURIER.

The election of J. B. Chamberlain as president of the Oread annual entertainment next June was a most appropriate tribute to faithful work, true ability and eminent fitness. Mr. Chamberlain's effort on the 22nd gained for him a host of admirers, who eagerly choose him for this still more commanding position.

The Seniors are making arrangements for Class Day. They also have agreed to furnish their photos for the Annual magazine.
Some think Spangler put in good work at Topeka. Mr.Ryan, of the House, moved to increase the salary of the clerk two hundred dollars, since this official must have both the knowledge of a Professor and the experience of a book-keeper. Now, Will!
"Cream of Roses" removes sunburn and tan.
Nothing describes the situation in the Oread society last Friday so well as to say that the historic gavel, which had stood the severe test of fifty elections, which had made the ears of Seniors ring years ago, succumbed and broke.
There are now more than fifty pupils in the Musical department. The day is not far distant when the Professor of Music will have an established chair and receive a regular salary.
The fullest and most complete line of Millinery Goods can be found at Mrs. Gardner's.
The House butchered the University bill in a most horrible manner. Four thousand dollars of the chemical fund was cut out, the library appropriation was cut down from five hundred to two hundred and fifty dollars; the salary of the Normal Dean was reduced one-third and one thousand six hundred and fifty dollars taken off the salaries of the nine Professors. This creating wide spread dissatisfaction, the Senate restored the appropriations to the amount asked and buttered it all over with an extra amount. The House didn't like this and a conference committee was appointed who placed things in about their original shape, to which the two houses agreed. A twelve thousand dollar chemical building is one of the important allowances.
Prof. Canfield took his seat on the chapel rostrum amid prolonged cheering last Friday morning. Three months of bed has made a very noticeable change in the Professor's appearance. He will teach the Political Economy class.

Albert E. Curdy, our handsome '84 man, is teaching a class in German at Humboldt, Kansas.
Miss Mary Griffith is very prominently spoken of as the Junior representative to receive the Senior hat. As she has never been a candidate for either class or society honors, it would be a most excellent selection and will doubtless receive the unanimous support of the class.
Up to date no answer has been received from Col. Robert Ingersoll in regard to the June oration.
Among a large body of students, there are always to be found those who are in a greater or less degree "college nuisances." One of the first you will meet is Mr. Exquisite, who speaks contemptuously of "the fellow from the country" or "that Normal chap," or the "only a Prep." Once in a while you have several very hard lessons to get or a very long thesis to write, with barely sufficient time to do it in, when in steps a fellow who bores you for an hour or two. Then there is the student who takes up half of the recitation in asking foolish questions and almost the other half in discussing them. The chances are, ten to one, he doesn't know his lesson. Whenever anyone is forever dinning in your ears that he works for "knowledge and don't care a cent for grades," make up your mind he has barely passed. By and by one comes along and pats you on the shoulder and smiles and makes particular inquiry regarding your course and is very anxious to do some service. Election day is near. Did you ever see any one hanging round the Professors, before class and after, on the stairs and in the studium, at the University and in the streets? He wants a high grade or is seeking an appointment for Commencement. Again, there is the fellow who when he sees two or three stop to speak to each other, shakes his head and mutters "scheme" or "clique" or something about "breaking it up." Then there is the boy against whom the Professors always have "a grudge" and who is "never given a square show." Beware of the fellow who is always trying to push his way in your favor on the strength of his "secret society" or the Young Men's Christian Association or his "church." It a boy is a natural born whelp and scoundrel all the secret societies and churches in the world don't make him a gentleman. These institutions are all excellent in their intentions, but only good as their individual members are good. One style of a nuisance, common everywhere else, is almost entirely lacking in colleges. That is, the fellows who "want to borrow a quarter." Students are generall supplied with money or they wouldn't come to school.
