hearsal next Monday night at 7.30 o'clock. A half hour's work in voice training will precede each rehearsal to which all are welcome. It is hoped that one rendering of these works may be given in University chapel, and also that the chorus may take part in the Annual May, Festival at Hutchinson.
State Historical Society
An abstract of the ninth biennial report of this society has just been issued. Perhaps no important association in the state is so little known to Kansans. The Society was formed in 1875 at a meeting of the State Editorial Association, and it is to the editors and publishers of Kansas that the Society is indebted for the larger part of the historical material now in its possession, the files of almost every paper in the state during the existence of the Society. Besides 15,409 bound volumes of periodicals and newspaper files, the Society has, in its rooms in the south wing of the State House, almost sixty five thousand volumes of books and pamphlets, and a large number of maps, manuscripts, pictures, and relics. This is a larger collection of local historical material than is contained in any other library in the world. The Society has also phonographic records of the voices of a number of Kansas governors.
An attempt will be made this winter to secure from the legislature more commodious quarters for the Society as well as more liberal appropriations to help on the important work being done by the association.
