Just before the recent oratorical contest, one of the prospective orators was discovered, gathering inspiration, by orating before the Megatherium in Snow Hall.
Next Sunday Feb. 4, will be celebrated in the evening at the Presbyterian church by a special program. It is Christian Endeavor Day—the thirteenth anniversary of the Christian Endeavor movement. Several special papers are in progress of preparation for the occasion.
K. U. students always win. Mr. F. J. Lange, who graduated in '83, while teaching at St. Bonediet, Kansas, was set upon by two of his large boys, and very severely bruised; but the consequence was that the parents of the boys had to pay damages to quite a large sum, and had to use* the expenses of the suit besides.
A grand, international missionary convention will be held at Detroit, Michigan, basting from February 28 to March 4. Last Sunday afternoon the University Y M. C. A. chose Mr. A. E. Moody to represent them there, and to gather points for the forthance of the missionary spirit in our midst.
Last Saturday the Courier held a meeting of stockholders and the following officers were chosen: Editor-in-chief, Fred Bichon; Literary Editor, E. W.

The STUDENTS JOURNAL wishes the Courier staff the best of success.

The Oratorical Contest.
The local oratorical contest which ocurred last Friday evening, Jan. 26, was a pleasant surprise to even the most sanguine supporters of oratory at K. U. It was plainly seen that the delivery of the orators was far superior to that of last year. The truth of this statement will be shown in the State contest at Topeka February 23d.
The vice-president of the Association, Mr. Archie Hogg, presided, as Mr. Chas. Griffin, the president, was one of the contestants. After the invocation by Dr. Cordley, the first speaker, Mr. Mayo Thomas, was introduced. Mr. Thomas is a new student at K. U., but he handled his subject, "John of Barneveldt and Liberty," with a skilled hand. He won third place in the final grading.
Mr. Lorin B. Sears, who will represent the University at Topeka, was introduced next, and spoke on "The Mission of the Drama." Ease and grace characterized Mr. Scars' delivery. His gestures were nearly perfect, which is doubtless the result of his training as an locutionist.
not doing himself justice. He lacked life and spoke too slowly, yet he surely deserved a higher place than he received
The next speaker, Mr. Chas S. Griffin, spoke on the subject, "A Day of Rest." It was evident from the beginning of his oration that Mr. Griffin was
After a violin solo by Prof. Farrell, Mr. Edward O'Bryan spoke on "The Prophet in this Later Age." His delivery was full of life, but showed a lack of reserve power.
"Our Industrial Salvation" was Mr. Eli Cann's subject, and he handled it in a very credible way.
Miss Mane Berry sang a soprano solo in her usual charming manner.
Mr. Jas. A. Orr occupied last place on the program with "The Citizen and His Trust." His many friends were expecting great things from Mr. Orr, and they were not disappointed. His oration was probably the most logical in arrangement of any. It was an oration too, and not simply a literary thesis. His delivery was excellent with the exception of monotony of voice. It was seen at once that the real closest lay between Mr. Sears and Mr. Orr; and so it proved, for the latter received second place.
While waiting for the decision of the judges, the Glee Club sang "Old King Cole."
The announcement that Mr. Sears had won first place was received with shouts of approval. Every loyal K. U. student will be present at the State Oratorical contest at Topeka, February 23, to cheer Mr. Sears on to victory. The markings were as follows:

Prof. Hector W, Cowan.
A telegram received from the Rev Hector W. Cowan yesterday announces that he has accepted the position of Professor of Physical Culture and Chapel Director in the University. His salary will be $1,000 a year, and the citizens committee of Lawrence has agreed to be responsible for its payment. Professor Cowan is now pastor of the Presbyterian church at St. Joe, Missouri, and will continue his religious work as chapel director.
As Professor of Physical Culture he will have charge of the physical training of the students, coaching all the athletic teams of the University. He will come as soon as possible, at least by March 1st, in ample time to train the base ball club this spring.
If you will look in Watter Camp's book entitled "American Football" you will see as the frontpiece the portrait of Hector W. Cowan, Princeton. While on the football team in this institution, Mr. Cowan was universally acknowledged to be the best player of his position, tackle, in the country. He was chosen a member of the All American Football Team, an organization which is to football players what the honorary Greek letter fraternities are to college students in general. Mr. Cowan was one of the coaches of the Princeton team which was victorious over Yale this year.
Prof. Cowan is quite well known in Lawrence. He is an intimate friend of Prof. Hopkins, who was his classmate in Princeton; and he was here a short time the year that our football team under the management of Prof. Hopkins won the title "never defeated." He is an earnest Christian as well as an athlete, and under his influence we may expect a great increase of interest in the religious exercises of the University.
Fellowships in Other Universities
Nearly every year professors of the University of Kansas receive notices respecting fellowships in such Universities as Harvard, Cornell, Wisconsin, Chicago, Columbia, and Pennsylvania. They ask students to compete for these fellowships. These fellowships are usually granted to students who are more or less prepared in special lines, and have evinced thorough scholarship and can give some evidence of the same. Very few students who graduate from the University of Kansas are well enough prepared in special lines to become successful candidates for such positions; but although it is difficult to carry' on special lines of work in the University owing to the fact that the student is not allowed to take more than four studies in one department, yet it is possible by concentrating the attention on one line of work for two years, and taking special work in that line, to prepare for such a position. Those students who have done this herefore, and have gone to other institutions, have received a high standing accompanied by a scholarship or fellowship. Students who desire to pursue their education farther after being graduated from the University would do well to consider this matter; and as they enter upon their Junior and Senior studies, to select some special line of work and pursue it with vigor and force looking forward to entrance into one of the largest Universities in the East. The fellowship carries with it not only honorable position, but usually pays about five hundred dollars a year with free tuition.

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET. Life is too short to spend time and money trying to find out whether traveling troupes are all they advertise themselves to be and much money is wasted in that way by those who want a little recreation from the cares of business and of study.
GROCERIES
Such an entertainment as the Old Oaken Bucket affords an opportunity for just the right sort of relief from the difficulty mentioned. Given under the direction of Prof. Moss with Miss Brown as stage manager, and a cast composed of some of the best talent in the city, it will in every way please and gratify those who attend. The opening night should be on the nature of an ovation. If you have not thought of going tonight—go any way and help give the young people a rousing reception.

There is general rejoicing over the announcement that the popular Spooner Company is to be in Lawrence all of next week.
THE SPOONERS.
The opening night will be characterized as in the past by the admission of two people by one paid ticket in the parquette. The bill for Monday night is the society drama, the "Dean," which was received with such enthusiasm at the last visit of the Spooners in Lawrence.
Seats are now on sale at 10, 20 and 30c.
