It is almost necessary for students to walk up the middle of the street to climb the hill. The city should see to it that the side walks on Adams street are repaired.
The Christmas number of the JOURNAL has been highly spoken of for its neat appearance, and the company's enterprise in bringing it out is meeting hearty praise.
From cold weather, inquire of local agent Santa Fe relative to cheap rates for a winter tour to Texas, New Mexico or Old Mexico. To follow the sunshine may prove cheaper than buying hard coal, it don't cost much to try.

Under the control of an editorial board, it will be much harder for private interests to be served at the expense of the paper.
The best developed men for editors, and equitable representation of all the schools upon the editorial force, is the result to be reached by adopting the Yale Courant system.
Our ball player, James Kelsey, will be here next term. He expects to play a better game this year than ever before.
Juniors and Seniors in the School of Arts must immediately land in the groups from which they have chosen their major courses.
Much more complete representation in the affairs of the papers can be gotten by the company, if they adopt the editorial board system.
The papers of K. U. should be representative. Fuller representation of the students on the editorial force will accomplish this, and be secured by es tablishing an editorial board.
In part, the excellence of many eastern college papers is due to the control of an editorial board chosen from upper class men. The STUDENTS JOURNAL could be improved by the adoption of the same system.
The geology class is required to write a thousand word theme on "Evidences for and against Evolution, found by the study of Fossils." It is a very interesting subject and some of the themes it would be well to publish.
The Junior law students took up commercial papers Tuesday. This will cause a conflict of studies, as many of the students take work in the south building at the same hour. Hot discussions and "other discussions" are disturbing the halls.
At the regular meeting of the Language Conference today the following program will be given: The Hippopotes of Euripides and Racine's Pharaeus, E. J., J. O'Brien. La Societe d'Histoire la Litterature Francaise, Note—A. G. Canfield. James, Jian, and Jacob, Note—M. W. Sterling.
The following program will be given by the Adelphine Literary Society this evening; Essay, Mr. Wells, Talk, Mr. Madden, Declaration, Mr. Lloydt, Reading, Mr. McCrosky. Debate question, resolved that the government should own and operate railroads; affirmative, Messrs. Cann, Parker, Myers, Negative, Messrs, F. H. Moore, Logan, Watson.
The Glee and Banjo Club give their entertainment at Bowersock's opera house to night. Every student should show his appreciation of the boys' efforts by being present. Freshmen will be allowed to bring ladies. Sophomores and Juniors can give box parties. Seniors have decided to be represented on all the floors, but it is needless to state that the top floor will be represented by the largest number.
Anyone wishing good old-fashioned informal fun can get excellent advice for obtaining the same from the party that spent Monday afternoon at Lakeview. All their experience went to prove that the unpremeditated is the most enjoyable. Classes were skipped in an unprecedented way, while skates and provisions were remembered in the same manner. A large lumber笼 and two carriages conveyed the party. Arviving at the lake at about 4:30, skating was the order of the day until after dark. Better ice could not have been desired; it sang a beautiful accompaniment, and there was the correct number of air holes. There is neither the space nor the desire to relate the various exploits, individual and collective. Popping corn about the delightful fireplace of the club house; supper with its oysters and "egregious" amount of fun obtained from the most unlooked for toasts; impropna dances, in which joined skilled and unskilled, great and small, poet and philosopher; home through the darkness, over seemingly corduroy roads, singing, shouting, laughing; surely a word to the wise is sufficient. We must not here mention the aches which were the inevitable compensation. All will agree that they cut a figure not to be compared to the many
opposed pleasures. Those desiring information as above suggested would do well to consult some member of the party, which was: Misses Morgan, Menet, Whitman, Bosworth, Heurichs, Lola Brown, the Misses Kelley, Messrs. Griffin, Kreiblich, Newson, Corbin, Sweezer, Menet, Wilder, and Brown.
A Word of Advice.
Just as the last snow was melting under the spring sun of '93, we had an idea; a bright thought pierced our mental darkness; a coruscating conception flashed乌thwart his hitherto unit intellectual sky; and, comet-like, has come back at intervals, accompanied by a nebulous train of consequent conclusions. We have watched it eagerly. For months we had been laboring to bring forth such a spark; and though we never hoped to strike out so brilliant a selentilation, yet we were no, completely stunned by its sudden blaze, nor thrown into an oblivious trance.
It is but fair, however, that we should explain that we were assisted in conceiving our idea. Circumstances, as it were, the spoon of accident into our kettle of cogitations, and kept the mush from sticking. It was in this wise. As we have said, the snow was melting—but yet lay thickly on sheltered places. We started meditatively down Adams street. We were wearing that day a new Knox hat, the neatest little Derby in all Lawrence; and we carried an armload of ponderous books. "Try not the pass," the banner bearer was warned time after time; but no solicitive friend warned us, "Try not the walk," and we went carelessly forward to our woe. In evil moment we put our foot upon an unthawed knob of snowy ice. It slipped. Our head went backward; our Knox hat flew from it like a rocket; our other foot began to slide, and then each foot read its title clear to pathways in the sky—and tried to reach them in widely divergent directions. We caught at something; but something was not there. We found it on a lower plane. It was our hat, and under it, that same unhawed and hard packed knob of snow! At that moment, with our books playing "Johnny Comes Marching Home" upon our head, we had our starlike thought. With the suddenness of our concession, and in our first deep sorrow over our hat, our idea was born. From that very moment, we have believed that something should be done to Adams street, to make it easier of assent and gentler of descent when the frost is on the sidewalk and we learn it with a shock.
As we say, we have encouraged that idea. Then, too, whenever its comet-tail has been within range of our glass, we have studied it as well, and not without success. We now have not only the original idea, but a second, no less important, which we hasten to lay before our readers are the fields and highways are piled again with silence deep and white and students begin to lay in their annual supply of liniments and bandages. Yet, we confess a great reluctance to make known this secret, even when it means the safety of so many. It is a part of us, has mingled in our life, has been the nucleus of our mental existence for weeks and months, and now, to part with it—but it must be! We give it to the world, and bid this last dear thought go forth, to tell our student friends that, when the hard, dud bitteries of cold shall tingle tinger tips and noses, and Adams street shall be the slippriest highway of all the universe of sky and snow, the safest way to walk its treacherous sidewalk is—to take "de middle ob de road."
"COLLECTIVISM."

Lawrence Gronlund to the Students.
A very large and eager meeting of the Historical and Sociological Seminary greeted the socialist. Lawrence Gronlund, Friday afternoon; a crowd of thinking, but not of altogether satisfied people left the lecture room at the close of the address. It is only natural for people to talk a great deal of anything out of the ordinary happenings of their daily life, and a lecture by an enthusiastic socialist is not an ordinary event, even in Kansas. But the talking may be to various effects; and much of it this time was criticism. The students were not convinced, they were scarcely reached by the speaker. It was this, and not the doctrine he advocated, that displeased them. They went with the hope of hearing socialism explained, of learning from a believer the salient principles of the theory, and had to come away without hearing an explanation or learning the principles. Mr. Gronlund had mistaken his audience. From his talk, it was evident that he thinks socialism is already the belief of the people of Kansas; that they are imbued with its principles, filled with its spirit; that they need no exposition of its theories, but only persuasion strong enough to move them to action. He has misinterpreted the political events of recent years in the state; for which he is not to blame, if it is granted that one who tries to lead need not first make himself thoroughly familiar with the social life and the thought of those he expects to lead, and with the personalities of those whom now they follow in their social movements. I inevitably, he overshoot the mark; and therefore socialism is probably no stronger in K. U. to day than it was eight days ago, so far as Mr. Gronlund's influence is con-
This explanation of his mistake Friday afternoon may be somewhat more generous—that he believes so thoroughly in his theory. He is full of the idea of so claism. It has soaked into every pore of his mind. He is ruled by it; and doubtless it is difficult for one so completely possessed by an idea to realize that others are not believers in it—much more, that they are comparatively poorly informed of it in detail.
Less important elements of thought and delivery may be noted briefly. Mr. Gronlund's foreign pronunciation, while it does not in general cripple him, occasionally transforms a word so completely that there is no getting the meaning of the sentence. Nevertheless, he may be called an interesting speaker, and he had close attention all the time. Although passing under the name "socialist," he is free from much of the bitterness and violence which are often thought to be the agitator's inseparable attendants. Still, they crop out somewhat. It is clear that he thinks employers correspond to the old-time royal despot, and that force is justifiable in overthrowing present systems; but he is guarded in saying so. The use of the bayonet in this country, he is willing to grant, maybe—and perhaps will be—unnecessary. But in Europe his social revolution is to come with bloodshed.
Whatever the other impressions his Friday afternoon talk may have left, however, this stayed with all; that Mr. Gronlund, whether right or wrong in his ideas, is satisfying the requirements of a strongly altruistic nature, and is deserving of honor for the spirit of his iabors.
