14 UNIVERSITY COURIER. Had you peeped into the home of Chancellor Marvin on the afternoon of the 3rd inst., a scene quite in contrast with the cold blustery elements without would have met your gaze. The I. C. Sorosis, mustering their full force of members and supplied with all the artillery of a "Merry War" had assembled to receive the Kappa Alpha Thetas. At 8 o'clock the corps of the guests arrived and were greeted with a welcoming address from Miss Addie Sutliff, followed by a song of welcome from the entire Sorosis. After this, ranks were broken and all partook of the "feast of gaity," that was at hand,-dancing, chatting, music and singing. This was followed by a treat of a more substantial kind. The supper was one of the finest that could be prepared. Over thirty couples were present. At 8 o'clock the hacks arrived, when the entertainment broke up with a parting song. The golden dart from each I. C."beau" found a resting place in the Grecian armor and left an impression that will never be effaced. All agreed that it was the most pleasant event of the year. We understand that the University will probably be successful in having the remainder of its bills passed by the Legislature. The following extract from the Kansas City Journal is regarding the reading of Prof. Trueblood in that city. No student could put his summer vacation to better use than by attending Prof. Trueblood's school of oratory at Kansas City. "Professor Trueblood began his recital, which included the principal scenes from 'Hamlet,' the professor explaining the action as he went along and keeping up the thread of the story. Professor Trueblood first spoke of the historical outline of the play and of its importance as a dramatic work. The lecture was entertaining and served to give the audience a very clear idea of the dramatic situations and the character of Hamlet as the immortal author drew it. The platform scene where the ghost first enters and Mamlet breaks away from Horatio and Marcellus with the exclamation 'Unhand me gentlemen; by heaven I'll make a ghost of him that lets me,' followed. This was one of the strongest scenes read by the professor and elicited rounds of applause." If Prof. Murdock comes to Lawrence Prof. Trueblood will probably accompany him. PERSONAL. E. F. Caldwell will publish the "Annual" this year. Ralph Stout will spend a few days at home, while celebrating the 22nd. Miss May Porter, of the city, spent a day at the University recently.
