Reno has accepted the position vacated by Mr. Hickey, at Chapman. M. E. Hickey and his wife attended the reception given the Glee Club at Winfield by Mr. Eaton. Some of the curious would like to know how many rooms Charlie Lease has scattered over Kansas. Every student should use all the influence he has towards securing appropriations for the University in the legislature. McKinnon was in Topeka Monday to attend the inauguration, and incidentally to look after some other matters there. Invitations have been issued for a reception to be given the Y. M. and Y.W.C.A. tomorrow evening by Mr. and Mrs. John Haskell. To-night by five o'clock all persons hoping to compete in the local Oratorical contest should have handed their orations to one of the executive committee. Through the columns of the Kansas City Star we learn that the Newton girls are not afraid of the dark when in the company of the University Glee Club boys. On Monday E. C. Hickey began travelling for Wilder Bros. of this city. At present his field covers the whole of Kansas, but it will probably be reduced to include only the eastern part of the state. C. E. McClung returned this week from Louisiana where he has been for the past three months as chief sugar chemist of a large sugar plantation He will take charge of the class in microscopy. Psychological Explanation of the Monocle — "Why do dudes wear but one eye-glass?" "Because if they wore two they would apprehend sensations more rapidly than their brains cold elaborate them." The program for the meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society for Friday of this week will be a talk on the commercial side of the digestive ferments by Prof. Sayre and a paper on petroleum by A. B. Clarke. Chauncey Benton Humphrey. United States Corps Cadets, who is absent from West Point on furlough until August, has entered the University for the rest of the year. Mr. Humphrey's home is in Wichita. Fred. Funston's lecture on Alaska, given for the benefit of the Athletic Association, fulfilled the expectations of his friends. It was excellent. ) However, the weather was very unfavorable and the attendance of students was remarkably small. Unity Club's presentation of the "Cricket on the Hearth" last Saturday evening was very good, and notwithstanding the coldness of the evening, the attendance was large and netted a neot sum to go toward defraying the expense of putting in the pipe organ. Albers and Page, who took the civil service examination for fourth assistant examiner in the Patent Office, in October, passed with creditable grades. This places them in the line of promotion for that office. This examination is generally regarded as a very difficult one, and the success of these two students of the School of Engineering is an honor to the boys and to the school.
