The stock of the STUDENTS JOURNAL, company consists of non-transferable one-dollar shares. Any student, instructor or employee (university) may hold one and only one share.
HAVE you written your oration for the local contest?
LET every class in the University wear their class colors at the Chancellor's reception Friday night.
THE class of '94 is making itself conspicuous by its utter lack of class enthusiasm. Who knows the class colors? Who knows the class yell? It is said that the class has the true University spirit.
Now that Adelphic Literary society admits to membership any student in the University, how would the chapel oration prize so generously offered by Prof Blake last year do for an Adelphic oration prize this?
BAKER vs. K. U. Saturday. Attend the game if it does cost half a dollar The Athletic Association executive board are conscientious in charging the advanced gate fee, as they are in need of money to defray expenses.
No STUDENT can afford to be absent from the Chancellor's reception to be given to members of the faculty and students next Friday evening, from 8 to 11 o'clock, in Snow hall. The Chancellor's annual reception has proved a source of great pleasure to students in former years. ___
HORACE BIGLOW, a former Princeton man, who unipired the U. of Minnesota vs. U. of Kansas foot ball game, and Louis Hull, an old Yale center rush, who acted as referee, both pronounced that game the best ever played in the West. The two games were made by end runs. Owing to the fact that our boys were subjected to a long journey and shortened rations just before the game, and also to the fact that they came so near the Minnesota goal line in the second half, the Minnesota men themselves besitate to claim superiority.
A good suggestion to townpeople who have vacant rooms in their houses, appears in College Life of Emporia College. There are many students who are forced to remain out of school this year through lack of money. Now, a room furnished to a worthy student free of charge or in return for light work about the house, might be the means of giving such a student an opportunity to spend the winter in school. If you have room for a student, write to some friend and offer him or her your aid.
From the Williams Weekly we quote the following pertinent paragraph, and wish to impress on our own students in regard to K. U. papers, what is said in it of the Weekly:
As the Weekly re-commences publication, a selfish word may be allowed. The Weekly wishes and needs the full support of the students. So long as mediocre work is done by the paper, poor backing may be expected. But endeavor is certainly not lacking to make the Weekly the
representative journal which Williams should have, consequently hearty support is desired. Every one gives liberally as he may to other organizations, yet many are unwilling to give for college journalism a much smaller amount. Granted that journalism controls much less absorbing interests, it still possesses permanent value and peculiar morit. We wish for the Weekly a large circulation—commensurate indeed with the student rolls—and would repeat the off-used sentence: "Please pay your bills."
The Topeka Capital in an article concerning the tuition of the State University says: "Attorney General Little claims that the language of the statute that "Admission to the University shall be free" means just what it says and that no department can charge a fee. He states that if the regents require a compensation for the admission to any department, the institution is not free. Mr. Little has not yet investigated the matter fully, but he believes that even the music and art departments must comply with the statue. If this is done the revenue of the University will be materially decreased, but the attendance would undoubtedly show a marked increase in a short time, and many students would take advantage of these departments who are now deprived of them on account of poverty."
FOR THE SECOND TIME
K, U. Meets Defeat in Minneapolis-An Exciting Game.
Kansas met Minnesota on the foot ball field Saturday, played its first contest of the season, and was defeated; but its defeat was by players against whom it no little honor to have made a record of 6 to 12. Minnesota University is the champion team of the Northwestern League, while Kansas University stands at the head of the Quadrangular League.
The grounds on which the game was played are several yards shorter than the regulation length, and the K. U. team was somewhat at a disadvantage on this account; and an unavoidable fast of fourteen hours, broken only just before the game, doubtless interfered with their playing.
For some time after the game was called, M. U. held the advantage she took at the outset. The K. U. team, however, presently rallied, and, carrying the ball over the line, succeeded in kicking a goal making the score stand 12-6. By the beginning of the second half, the Kansas players had regained their old-time spirit, and played with determination that not only kept M. U. from gaining further points, but almost carried the ball over their line. In this half, neither side scored.
Eastern players who were present say that this game is the best that has so far been played in the west. It is hoped that K. U. will be able to meet M. U. again before the close of the season, both for the sake of the game and because the gentlemanly treatment our team received gives us a desire to become better acquainted with the students of that institution.
Prof. Haworth's absence last week gave the Seniors time for a review.
Carl Phillips, of the class of '00, was on the hill last week renewing old acquaintances.
Bowen and Atterby are pledged Sigma Nus. "The laboratories will hardly hold them."
Two new students are expected next week.
Jim McMahon spent Sunday in Argentine.
PHARMAUY NOTES.
Watt and Wilson, of last year, were back visiting friends in the University Wednesday.
Kelly was absent from the University last weeo, but has returned. He was looking after the drug store of his brother in Olathe, while the latter attended the fair.
OUR STUDY WINDOW
Our nimble souls
Can spin an unobstructual universe,
Suiting our mood, and call it possible,
Sooner than see one grain with eye exact
And give刻 record of it. Yet by chance
Our fancies may be truth and make us seers.
Tis a rare teeming world, so harvell-tull,
Even guessing ignorance may harp some fruit.
Men who are soul at larger game
May wing a clattering sparrow for revenge.
Our nimble souls
What does the student do on Sunday?
Well to begin with, a great part of the day is gone before we know anything about it, when nine o'clock is the breakfast hour. After breakfast comes church —for some of us. After church comes the noonday meal—for all of us.
But where does the student keep himself during the afternoon and evening that follow? The Sabbath by all means ought to be a day of rest. The day laborer's rest is not the students rest. He, tired of papers and books, longs to roam over fields or listen to the squirrel's chatter in the forests. It is then that he thinks of home and friends, and for the hundredth time counts the days until the next vacation.
Lawrence has more interesting places than some of us might suppose. Oddly enough the cemetery is the favorite haunt of not a few of our number. The old wind mill, the river, and quiet country lanes have a charm for us. At this season of the year, when summer's shades are replaced by autumn's flaming patches of color, the view from Mount Oread is something one cannot afford to miss. Before sunrise, when the mists hover over the sleeping city; at noon, when the whole arch of heaven is suffused with light; or at sunset, when the shadows lengthen and the windows of the houses, catching the last rays of the sun, flash back a plane of fire; then is the time that a medicative mood comes over us and the dead leaves nestling in the slowly dying grass call to mind the day when time for us shall be no more.
But we fear there are some who fail to see the beauty about them, or who imagine, at least, that they have no time for anything but study. Study in itself is a good thing, but combined now and then with healthful recreation it is a better thing. Just stop to think that one year from now it will not make such a great difference after all whether you can name and date the numerous emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. With Hawthorne let us, too, be thankful that we are so far removed from a generation when a woman was punished for kissing her babe on Sunday, and smiling was sinning. Then come out with us and enjoy the good gifts around us.
When Samuel Butler left the family of the Countess of Kent, he entered that of Sir Samuel Luke, an excessively rigid and fantastic Puritan. While here Butconceived a hatred and disgust for every Puritan and for his employee, Sir Samuel, in particular. As soon as the restoration was over he saw that an attack on their rights might be of great pecuniary advantage to himself. As a consequence "Hudibras" was produced, in which gouched by the hope of royal favor, he gave vent to all the resrained virulence of his relentless nature. The principal characters of this extravagant satire are the mock knight Hudibras and his squire Ralphio. Hudibras, a pedantic hunched-back monster, represents the typical Puriman. He goes forth armed like a knight, to redress all wrong and correct all abuses. He is ridiculous and contemptible from first to last, though through it all he is to thick pated to see that he is being laughed at.

"Hudibras" corresponds to Don Quixote, upon which it was modeled, though there is a marked difference between the two productions. Don Quixote, though we laugh at his foolish adventures, is still deserving of our admiration for his nobility and goodness of heart. He is never an object of disgust and his unfortunate predicaments always win the sympathy of the reader. Hudibras, on the other hand, is not merely
ridiculous, but mean and low also. Always an object of disgust, never enlisting the sympathy of the reader, he is pushed by main force through a long series of nonsensical incidents and mistakes. The perplexed reader is led through the maze of a thousand and one independent and capricious incidents, to find himself rewarded only by a surfeit of incessant blazing wit. Throughout the whole story nothing is visible but the meanness and hypocrisy of the author's political enemies.
However, it would be far from correct to suppose that "Hudibras" has no merit. There are a multitude of diamonds throughout the story, but unfortunately they are all solitaires, each one of which must rely on itself alone for brilliancy, since there is no unison of effect. It is in those short, pithy expressions that we must look for the greatness of Butler. He excelled in felicity of expression and flexibility of diction. And it is these qualities alone which have preserved his place in our literature. Remove the fine expression and faultless execution from "Hudibras" and there is nothing which any garrulous scald might not have said. In considering Butler's merit, we must not forget that a great deal of outside influence was brought to bear upon him. He was a poor loyalist whose party had just gained the throne, and he had every reason to expect that a world which exposed to ridicule the enemies of the king, would receive a large reward. If this were Butler's purpose, it is surprising that Hudibras has as much literary merit as it has, for King Charlie could have been pleased with a less intricate plot developed in a much less elegant style. "Hudibras" holds a place in literature not by virtue of qualitative essential to its original success, but because of the superior execution and finish with which an unpriseworthy of feet was attained.
At Chapel.
B. M. D.
Last Friday in chapel, Professor Marvin gave a few reminiscences from his experience at a school known as the Kansas University.
Among the great mass of people, when an individual is suspected of wrong doing the people as a whole are up in arms in opposition to him, but thatin Kansas University, if a student were suspected of wrong doing, the whole mass of students would take up arms in his defence.
There are a number of organizations calling themselves by certain Greek letters, but commonly known as 'frats.' In these organizations, there is something more than brotherhood, there is clansiness. These organizations claim a monopoly on the social privileges of the school. They boast of the men they have in high positions.
There is another organization which claim to have the best men in the school. This organization is known as the 'barbs.' The 'barbs' are said to be a mere organization; but in a certain athletic election they proved to be a perfectly organized body. They show as much clamishness as any Greek letter frater nity among the five hundred students.
There is an occasional student who feels that he or she has a right to appropriate to his or her own use the property or others. This is commonly attributed to carelessness; but it is in reality dishonesty Dishonesty in little things is as unpardonable as dishonesty in big things.

John Smith was one of several children, a son of a hard working man. He had a patient, loving, hard working mother. His parents cared for John. They scraped themselves that John might go to college. John came well dressed. He wore a nobby suit and was in fact a trifle overdressed. On the street he walked with his hat on one side of his head and his nose turned up. But whenever he met a member of the disciplinary committee, he looked at the ground. When accused by the disciplinary committee of certain faults he always confessed them and promised to do

Peter Jones was a bright fellow and knew it. He had a large store of general information. He wanted to carry six studies. He desired prominence in fraternity circles. He ran a newspaper and was a prominent member of the Y. M. C. A. Yes, Peter is a bright fellow; but here is Sam Tobson who is comparatively dull, but he undertakes just what he can do, and does it well. In the end Sam will prove himself superior to Peter Jones.
better. His professors reported that his work was not well done. John lacked purpose. While the parents at home hoped great things for John, John did not know for what purpose he was in school.
George Washington Flunket—the students called him "great windy." I became intimately acquainted with him. He stood well in some of his studies. He passed in others. He boasted that he worked his profs.' He was a frat man, but his own brothers distrusted him. They were convinced that he was purely a self secker. The students found him out sooner than the faculty did.
Miss Mollie Chackston was bright in appearance and dressed in a tidy manner. She was always smiling and glad to meet everybody. Her favorite position was in a window sill, half way up the stairs. There the motts gathered about her. I think she was soft; but the boys said she was affectionate.

At Jackson Park, Chicago, in the grand court of honor, at night, the rows of electric lights began to come out, the boats glided bither and thither so that the light broke over the rippling waves. There came from one corner the search light. It touched a certain statue and drew the thousands of eyes to it. The statue was perfect. There was not a flaw or bleism. Every young man and woman ought to realize that they should be perfect character's so that however strong a search light may fall upon them no flaw nor bleism will be revealed.
