girls who adhere to the practice most consistently. Yander, for example, is a plainly dressed girl with homely though intelligent face. She always comes in alone, and there is never any vacant seat among friends for her. She has not failed to notice that there are always vacant seats for other girls, and in her homely countenance you and I may read (though her fellow students do not) how her bitter consciousness of this difference is slowly blighting all that is lovable, all that, in the most sacred sense of the word, is truly feminine in her nature. For can you doubt that as it is with this poor girl during the brief chapel hour, so also it must be in the class room and in all the circumstances of her college life? God pity the girl in college whose face is homely and whose manners are not in some way winning or attractive! One of two bad things such a girl is certain to become—either an entirely strong minded and unwomanly woman, or a morbid and envious creature, who soon frets her life out, after having been a far greater curse to herself and to the world than she would have been had she never seen the inside of a college wall"
During this long speech of the former advocate of the doctrine that the One is Many, rapid transitions had been in progress upon the pages of the Book of the Future, and the changed scene which the philosophers now beheld indicated the lapse of several years. But, though changed much in detail, the scene was still the same as assembling of the students for chapel services upon which they had been gazing all the while.
"See," continued the philosopher who had spoken last, "the majority of the students still come in and take their seats in groups, larger or smaller, just as they did when we first saw them. And hark, do you not catch the drift of those malicious whispers that are passing back and forth between the members of that little group of well dressed young men, seated in the farthest corner of the room? The subjects of their remarks, judging from the direction of their glances, is some one or more members of that group near the door. Observe, too, that in the course of years there has been some breaking up in these various groups.
For example, that tall young man who has just come in, and dropped with an air of indifference into the first vacant seat he found, was once, you remember, a very conspicuous and loyal member of that whispering group. The expression upon his face and his general air seem to say that he feels he has outgrown the callow youths with whom he once associated, and that he has found other ways of attracting the attention of his fellow students than by displaying himself as a number of a herd, or else that he has become wisely indifferent as to whether he attracts their attention at all or not. But I am weary of looking at it all," he added with a sigh as he closed the book. "What we have seen is, I fear, hardly of a nature to arouse in us any very extravagant admiration for these best people of the best age and nation of the world."
"And what philosophical lesson do you draw from it all?" asked his companion thoughtfully and in a very unphilosophically humble tone.
"That the One is not Many, and still less the Many, One," replied the other; "and that even in man, whatever a kindly but foolish sentimentalism may preach, there is no living sense of a common humanity, nor any likelihood that such a sense will ever be developed. That, in a word, the Many are hopelessly and irremediably Many, and that he alone is the true philosopher who can calmly accept this gloomy but unalter able fact." And acquiescing in this conclusion, which to us seems quite ridiculous, enlightened as we are, and living amid happy social conditions in which all the fairest dreams of the humanitarian have been realized, the two venerable philosophers separated to meet no more in frenzied discussion of the problem of the One and the Many.

Sir Toby did very well indeed, but he couldn't hold a candle to Sir Andrew. Some of the students have been wondering why Prof. Wilcox gave his talk on the Duty of Having a Good Time, just after vacation.

In gab so bright and gay,

With neck decoll e.
The performance of Twelfth Night furnished another proof of the fact that some are born great actors, some achieve greatness in amateur dramatics, and some have great parts thrust upon them.
The following was found floating about the halls yesterday. Is it some stray copy from the "Annual?"
Her cheeks are as fat,
As that
With which we spread,
The surface of our daily bead.
A prominent Sophomore says that he recently fell right into the jaws of Death, but she didn't find him very palatable, and consequently spit him out. Moral: Seek ye not ever to be sweet.
The story is told by Chancellor Snow of a young man who called on him the other day to see about entering the University. The prosopective student explained that he had just come from a certain western county and during the next two months he would like to take up some of the higher branches. He understood that tuition was free here. The Chancellor inquired what branches he would like to pursue. "Well, I don't know." replied the youth. "I believe I would like to study bookkeeping, penmanship and arithmetic."
Photographic Views.
Professor Williston and Mr Tucker will soon finish about 150 views for the World's Fair. They will be views of the interior of various rooms in the University buildings, McCook Field, the athletic teams, enlarged portraits of the Chancellor and ex-Chancellors, and, in fact, representations of everything of interest connected with the University.
These views are of large size, and will be placed in swinging glass frames 22 inches in width by 28 in length. Each frame will contain from four to eight pictures, and the frames are mounted on two racks, thirty in a rack. The racks are six feet high and occupy a floor space six feet in diameter. One of them will be placed in the Kansas building, and the other in the educational exhibit in the Department of Liberal Arts. After the fair, one of them will probably be placed in the University library and the other in the state house at Topeka.
On the 20th of this month the "Annual" will out, and will be distributed to subscribers on that day. However, as the cutie edition will not be ready for distribution then, the Board of Publication has decided that of the first lot received no person will be allowed to take more than one copy, no matter how many he may have subscribed for. This restriction is necessary that all subscribers may be able to get a copy from the limited number which will be ready by the 20th. The remaining copies will, however, be on hands a very few days later, and those who have subscribed for more than one copy will then be supplied with the full number for which their names are on the subscription book. In no case will a subscriber be permitted to take a copy until he has paid the advance subscription price of one dollar. Subscriptions will still be received from students and members of the faculty, up to the 20th, after which date the uniform price of one dollar and fifty cents per copy will be charged.
It is not now necessary to enumerate the many excellent things the "Annual" will contain, or to try to give any detailed account of what it will be from an artistic and literary standpoint, since that has already been often done in the various University publications, in so far as it is possible to do it in words. The Board has labored faithfully and long to make the "Annual" a success. It confidently awaits the result of its labs, believing that the criticism of the University world upon its work will be prompted by the same spirit of fairness in which that work has been executed.
Legal Briefs.
The Annual
A new set of moot court cases has been given to the Junior class.
The law library needs special attention from the regents.
The Kent Club will present on interesting program next Saturday afternoon. All are invited to attend.
A number of the Laws are extending their vacation into summer.
Now comes the season on when the Senior debaters and orators he themselves to some one of the fulignious, dusky, unused rooms of North College and gesticulate before imaginary audiences.
The erstwhile gay and laughing Junior now wanders sedately through the halls, meditating on the evanescence of human happiness—all caused by the action of the faculty in changing the recitation hour from 10:30 to 8:30.
Prof. Brownnell lectures this afternoon on the Status of Woman. All are invited to attend, and are assured that they will be amply repaid for their trouble.
