EXCHANGES.
A freshman once to Indes went,
Some things he wished to learn.
Ent tack to earth he soon was sent,
H was too gasd to burn.
In 275 years, Harvard has graduated 18,000 students.
The University of Nebraska is organizing a Glee Club.
The University of Chicago has started a daily paper called "The News."
Leland Stanford, Jr. has established a professorship in Pacific Coast History.
The Cornell Era has been added to our exchange table. It is very readable.
The University of Nebraska has abolished the distinction of Junior and Senior.
A student court has been organized at Princeton, to try cases of cheating at examinations.

The treasure of Leland Stanford, Jr. University's Athletic Association is required to furnish a $5,000 bond.
Cornell offers to her students this yeara complete course in the Russian language and literature.—Exchange.
The Baker Index saves that the K. U. "Glee Club boys can sing and they know it" Thanks, Index. Merited deserts always win recognition.
A new society known as Kappa Beta Phi has been founded by six Amherst students. Their badge and other insignia are almost identical with those of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity.
The Cornell Era announces that a book of "Cornell songs" is in course of preparation. The compilation of the songs has been undertaken by two skilled musicians, and without doubt the book will be a pronounced success.
College Life has a very plausible explanation for the odd fifty-two cents in the amount saved to farmers by Prof. Snow's chinch tug fungus. It says that "fifty-two cent's worth were accidentally strangled by some of Prof. Snow's assistants."
The Princeton faculty have decided to exercise no supervision at examinations, but simply to require each student at the end of his paper to subscribe to the following declaration: "I pledge my honor or as a gentleman that during the examination I have neither given nor received assistance." This is a step in the right direction.
The fact that the successful orator in our local oratorial contest has not represented Kansas in the inter-state contest for the past six years is sufficient evidence that the subject of oratory is not receiving proper attention in the University-Review.
The Review for February has a good editorial on the present method of selecting orators for our local contests. It says that the present method, which proceeds upon the basis of Thought and Composition alone, "works a great injustice to those who excel in oratorical ability; but who are weak in composition. The real orator is often shut out of the contest while the student who has talent as a writer is given a place. When we listen to the discourse of an orator it is not always what he says that impresses us most, but how he says it."
Mr. A. C. Anderson, representing H.
M. Atherton of Salma, Kan., has just completed his delivery of the large group pictures recently taken at the University. Anyone who failed to obtain a picture may yet obtain one by leaving an order with A. E. Huddleston.
MUSIC NOTES.
Miss Abbie Noyes plays the organ at the Episcopal church for the evening services.
Miss Sinclair now fills the position of organist at the Presbyterian church.
Prof. Preyer was sick Friday and was unable to give lessons here or to meet his class in Leavenworth.
The musical box of the library will probably be moved down town soon. A room in or near the Hall will be fitted up and Miss Penny will be made librarian. This change will be a very desirable one for the music students.
After Seminary last Wednesday a piano recital was given by Prof. Preyer's pupils. The following program was rendered:
1 Fugue, c minor...Bach
Miss Adeliae Johnson
2 Sonate Pathetique...Beethoven
3 (a) Wiengenlied...Bendel

The bill for general appropriation for expenses which was recommended for passage in the House committee of the whole Monday night sets apart $5,000 for conducting a geological survey of the state. $1,000 for conducting work in University extension. $5,000 for apparatus for the department of physics and electrical engineering, $10,000 for books for the library, $2,500 for additions to the natural history museum and $1,000 for supplies for the chemistry department. The committee recommended the passage of the bill appropriating $50,000 for the erection and equipment of a physics and engineering building, $20,000 for an addition to the chemistry and pharmacy building, $15,000 for electrical engineering shops and $5,000 for economic experiments on injurious insects. Already the Spooner bequest has been appropriated for a library building and Chancellor's residence. The professors are smiling, the students laughing; the whole atmosphere of the University is one of glee.
The demand for sugar chemists in the southern states is on the increase. The rapid development of the sugar industry in the south and particularly in Louisiana, makes the demand somewhat greater than the supply. Every year a number of students go from k. U. and find ready positions. Last year six University students were employed on one plantation.
