We wonder why Senior Engineering are objectionable to some of the Senior Art students.
One of the Seniors proposed in class meeting the other day that members of the class give a circus as their class day exercise. Quite true the requisite number of clowns would not be lacking. Jim Kelsey has volunteered his services as ring master.
Messrs Squire, Plumb, Wagner, Galbreath and Taylor attended the party, given by the Delmorico boarding club, at Merchants hall on Friday evening. A very enjoyable time was had by those present.
There has been a large attendance of Engineers at chapel during the week. Prof. Marvin has been conducting the services. That's right. Try and make a good impression on our Dean by coming to chapel if you can't do it in class.
Mr. Emch has been teaching one of the Trigonometry classes this week.
Albers and Morgan are constructing Revolution counters at the shop.
Prof. Dunn blew out a Motor fuse on Monday. Some of the Seniors have not stopped running yet and only one or two have resume their daily work on the hill.
An interesting letter from Prof. Blake was read at the Science club It, Friday evening. He reports excellent success with his Foghornophone and expects to achieve great results next year or the year after. He also stated that he would be back bye and bye.
Miss Jennie Hosier entertained the following at cards, Friday evening. Misses May and Carina Cooke, Anna Edwards, and Messrs. Agnew, Hudson eckler and O'Bryon.
Gowell's talk on Prof. Dyche's bird from the Arctic regions was the best thing on the program at the Science club banquet, Friday evening. He had a model of the Aquatacus the principal parts of which consisted of a nail keg, gunny sack, some feathers and a bamboo fan. The mouth and eyes were especially prominent features of the bird.
Sam Usher visited the Gymnasium class Saturday and watched some of our athletes perform (?).

Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K. U.!
Word has been received that at the late oratorical contest at the stat university, the honors and chapionship were awarded to Ed Hackney, son of O. J. Hackney of this city. Mr. Hackney, Jr., has not yet completed his first year of school at Lawrence but he has always been recognized as a very intelligent and eloquent speaker. Since his advent to the state university, his ability as a writer has been fully proven by his election to the editorship of the college paper. He was persuaded to engage in the oratorical contest with the above result.
Mr. Hackney is a young man, only twenty-three years of age, highly respected by his friends and associates here, and honored by his fellow-students of the university. We are glad to learn of his success not only because he is from Wellington but because of his known deserving character. Mr. Hackney will represent the state university in the coming state inter-collegiate oratorical contest at Topeka.—Daily Mail

The attendance was unusually large and it is hoped that the interest which has been manifested will continue. At the last meeting seven new members were received into the Seminary. On next Monday night there will be reports by C. R. Troxel, and others.
