Shaving is an art and hair-cutting a science and the barber who is master of both is deserving of patronage. Believing this you will get your work done at Jess A. Howe's bagber shop, 915 Massachusetts street.
A certain university in one of our neighboring states is conducting a lecture course on a somewhat unusual plan The idea is to make the price so low that all students can and will attend, and therefore the course is offered free. A certain number of tickets called "Patron's tickets," are to be issued These will cost the holder nothing unless the receipts from other sources should be insufficient to meet expenses. In this event an assessment will be called, at the end of the year; but this assessment is not to exceed one dollar for each ticket. The money to pay for the course is to be raised by voluntary contributions from the audience at the close of each entertainment: each person being asked to contribute according to what he thinks the entertainment has been worth to him. This is not strictly business, but if it succeeds it will certainly be a great benefit to the poorer students.
K. S. U. in Harper's Weekly.
Harper's Weekly, of November 10th, devotes considerable attention to Kansas State University. "The New Spooner Library at the University of Kansas" is the subject of a very readable article, which bears the name of John M. Steele at its foot. Besides a description of the new Spooner building, its construction, conveniences and contents, the article shows the inclined-to-be skeptical east that "in troubled Kansas has grown up an educational centre where can be found culture and learning of the broadest type."
This issue of Harper's also contains an interesting review of Western Football, by Caspar W. Whitney, based upon information obtained from Mr. Steele and other correspondents in the West, in which the professionalism of the Ottawa-Baker team is touched upon.
Adelphic.
On account of the absence of several who were on the program for the last meeting the exercises were partly extemporaneous, but still very good. The account of last summer's expedition to the Bad Lands, by E. S. Riggs, was very interesting. Those who did not hear it missed a treat.
The program for the meeting this evening is: Reading, Mr. Myers; Essay, Mr. Magaw; Recitation, Mr. Johnson; Essay, Mr. Wagner; Oration, Mr. Grant. The question "Has Science a Greater Disciplinary Effect oa the Mind than has Literature?" will be affirmed by Messrs. Scott and McCroskey and denied by Messrs. Engle and Cann.
Snow Hall.
The University has recently sold two of the peccary skeletons found last Spring in excavating near Goodland Kansas. One was bought by Harvard and the other went to the American Museum in New York City.
The proceeds of the sale of peccary skeletons was used in purchasing for our museum the skull of a Mososaur found in Kansas.
The skull of the Mososaur obtained by our expedition to the Bad Lands last Summer has been fully restored and mounted. The next University Quarterly will contain a cut of it, and an article treating of the subject.
