UNIVERSITY LECTURE AND MUSICAL COURSE.
Change of Date for First Attraction.
A few days ago the attention of the management of the University Lecture and Musical Course was called to the fact that the date for the first entertainment of the course. The Moody Male Quartette, which had been booked for Saturday, December 1st, fell during the Thanksgiving vacation, and would in consequence prevent a large number of the students, who would be out of the city at that time, from attending. We are glad to be able to announce now, however, that the date has been changed to Wednesday, December 5th, which is better for everybody concerned. This organization comes very highly recommended, and is a fitting opening for the Course. Those who have not yet purchased Course tickets should do so at once.
Many times, during the season, outside entertainments of a similar character to those included in the Course, will be presented to the Lawrence public, and in a majority of of these instances, arrangements will be made so that holders of University Lecture Course tickets will be entitled to an especially low price of admission.
The last one hundred tickets are now selling.
Language Conference.
The meeting of the Language Conference last Friday afternoon was very pleasantly entertained by Professor D. H. Robinson on "Woman's Rights in Ancient Rome." Prof. Robinson said this did not mean Female Suffrage for that panacea of woman's woes is a much more recent invention. He then traced the growth of woman's legal rights as wife and daughter through the various periods of Roman history, in a very clear and witty manner. He found that in Rome woman's position before the law was as favorable as it has ever been since. After a short discussion of this paper, John Henderson followed with an effort to prove that Puritan Literature was practically without humor. A discussion followed in which the writer's position was quite warmly assailed. After a brief mention of the late Dr. McCosh, the conference adjourned.

Cone and Cann Miss Bond, Mr Rice, Professors Clark and Carruth, and Miss Galloo.

For several years past the Stoddart Edition of the Encylopaedia Britannica has been in use in this institution. We consider it the Standard Edition of this important work in this country, and far superior to the cheap reprints now being sold.
From Prof. ROBERT EL IS THOMPSON, S. T. D. Pres. Boys' Central High School, Phila.
I regard the Ninth Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica as the best work of its class in the English language, and the American Reprint of it as the best edition for the reasons which follow:
1. The American Reprint gives the full text, illustrations, plates, and maps of the large British edition without omissions or abbreviations.
