and J. N. Macomb; and R. W. Carter, J. L. Harrington, and W. T. Brooks. During a part of the time Herbert Thompson and Warren Edwards were also at the camp.
Each gang was given a section to survey, and from the 7th of June to the 7th of July they staid at Camp Moral, working, playing ball and other games, having all the enjoyment that can be had in tenting out in good weather, and getting at the same time valuable practical knowledge of surveying. Those who had charge of the gangs-Carter, Johnson, Withington, and Lahmer—are now making maps of the sections surveyed by their parties. The experiment of having Summer surveying camps has proved a great success, and hereafter attendance will be required of Civil Engineering students. Each year a tract of country near Lawrence will be surveyed; and not only will the work give valuable practice to the students and a very pleasant Summer outing, but it will provide what has long been desired, an accurate map of the country about the University.
A FOURTH OF JULY PARTY.
One of the most pleasant of this Summer's gatherings was that which took place at the home of Miss Clara Bosworth, near Wellsville, on July 4. A party of fourteen, consisting of Misses Corbin, Menet, Kate Menet, Parrott, Whitman, Brown, Morgan, Spencer, and Messrs. Menet, Corbin, Hogg, Palmer, Griffin, and Spencer, started early on the morning of July 3 to ride overland from Lawrence. They were joined at Wellsville by Miss Henrichs and Mr. Fogle. Between their arrival and their departure Saturday morning, it is estimated that the party had enough exploits to fill two good sized volumes. They tried haying on a grand scale with remarkable results. The histrionic talent of the concourse was exhibited in the rendition of an original play, written and prepared especially for the occasion and treating of affairs of state and domestic life in the new and glorious "Feminocracy of New Zealand." The members of the party have not
yet ceased to talk of the fine time they had and are not expected to for some time to come.
THE UNIVERSITY QUARTERLY.
The July number of the Kansas University Quarterly has lately appeared. Dr. S.W. Williston has several articles in this number which are of special value to the student of Natural History, Professor Vernon L. Kellogg has written an interesting and instructive article on "The Taxonomic Value of the Scales of the Lepidoptera, and Professors E. H. S. Bailey and E.C. Franklin have given the results of "A Chemical Examination of the Waters of the Kaw River and its Tributaries." This number of the magazine is illustrated by nine full page pictures, drawn from nature by Miss May H. Wellman. The University of Kansas and the State of Kansas may well be proud of a magazine which shows such scientific research as the Kansas University Quarterly.
K. U. SUFFRAGISTS.
The University students are taking an interest in the passage of the Suffrage Amendment to the Constitution this Fall. Tuesday evening, August 7, a suffrage meeting was held in the church at Kanwaka, and a large audience was present. The speakers were Arthur Corbin, Chas. S. Griffin, Frank Menet, and Miss Annie Turpin. There was a great deal of music interspersed, and an impersonation of Samantha Allen was given by Miss Ruth Whitman. The program was greatly appreciated by the people in attendance. A score of young people from Lawrence accompanied the speakers to Kanwaka on a hay rack.
Marmoru Jio, our Japanese civil engineer, has been at Lawrence this Summer, and has taken great interest in accounts of the war between Japan and China. He says his country will win.
Is there anything significant in the fact that the name of the library building is Spooner? Referred to Lenora Thorne and C. McRoberts.
