EXCHANGES. Midland College at Atchison will soon have a gymnasium building. The plans are drawn and all but $400 of the needed funds have been contributed. -Clipper. Neither Henry Watterson, George W. Curtis or John G. Whittier ever went to college. What? never passed an examination. There is something wrong somewhere. -Echo. A recent pumber of the Industrialist contains an article on The Apple twig Borer by Prof. E. A. Popome. It is well illustrated and very interesting to students of entomology. An exchange credits Hon. Chauncev Depew with saying that he has studied the question of athletics and he knows that it is not detrimental to study nor does it interfere with a man's spirituality. Kansas University expects to have a much stronger base ball team this year than last. The best of last year's team, remain, and there is much new talent. They think they have found, in Mattheson, a pitcher that can equal Barnes — Nebraskan. The representative of Illinois in the inter state contest this year is A. A Hopkins of Lake Forest. According to the Wesleyan Echo he is a senior, 25 years old, handsome and an accomplished speaker with the full confidence of his state association. Miss Emilie Kublman, now completing her twelfth year's work at the state Normal School, has sent in her resignation to take effect at the close of the present school year. Thousands of teachers throughout the state will learn of this with regret. — Industrialist. The photographs of the University of Kansas Glee and Banjo Clubs show them to be quite a smooth looking lot of collegians. The fact that the photograph shows many of the men wearing fraternity pins on the lapels of their coats is considered very jay by eastern college men—Leavenworth Times Miss Inez Ruggs conducts a very interesting ladies department in the Missouri Argus. She does not confine herself to society items, fashions and hints to the girls, but while giving these things their place she also takes in all other matters, which are made especially interesting to her lady readers. An exchange quotes Dr. Jordan, of Leland Stanford, as follows: "College marks, college honors, college degrees—all these things belong, with the college cap and gown and wreath of laurel berries, to the babyhood of culture. They are part of our inheritance from the time when scholarship was not manhood, when the life of the student had no reason to the life of the world." Hon. C.F. Scott, of Kansas, delivered in the chapel on the 16th ult., the most interesting lecture given here this year. His subject was "The Lost of the Confederates," a brief account of General Joe Shelby's Mexican expedition.—Nebraskan. The Hon. C.F. while living in Iola always seems at home on the streets of Lawrence and is known among the members of the faculty and older students as Charley. Baker is still blowing its horn because it defeated the team of substitutes sent down by Kansas University. It is nearly as unisportsmank like Doane.—Nebraskan. Better hush up, Beacon, and read the following from the official reports of the Inter-State Foot Ball League meeting. "The championship for 1892 was awarded the Kansas University team and $40 appropriated for the purchase of a suitable trophy." Successful farmer, (whose son has been to college): "What was al' that howlin' you was don' out in th' grove?" "Cultured son: 'I was merely shewing Miss Brighteyes what a college yell is like.'" "Well, I swan! College is some good after all. I'm going to town to sell some truck tomorrow. You kin go along an' do the callin'.—New York Weekly. Rice Wins the Baker Contest. The annual oratorical contest at Baker Tuesday resulted in a victory for Mert Rice. The decision gave universal satisfaction as far as the audience was concerned. The program of the evening was nicely arranged and well carried out. Miss Cunningham's singing was one of the chief pleasures of the eveining. After the invocation by Rev. J. A. Matter, President Schaffner introduced the first speaker of the evening, Mr. H. B. Wren. He spoke on the subject, "A Page of Cosmical History." Mr. Wren had a master piece, but his delivery of it was rather unfortunate. He did not warm up to his subject until after his climax and then it was too late. He made a good impression however and received second place. "Who Rules History," by M. W. Games, was logically treated. Mr. Games spoke a little rapid and his pronunciation was not perfect, and his gestures were not smooth. Mr. Games, however, will at some future day make an orator. "Daniel Webster, or The Defender of the Constitution," by G. A. Marvel, came next. Marvel's appearance was decidedly against him, and his gesturing did not help him out any. However, he handled his subject well. The hero of his oration, Daniel Webster was painted in glowing terms. His oration had an oratorical tone, but the speaker failed to impress his audience and secured last place on delivery. Mr. Rice, the winning orator and favorite of the audience, then delivered an ordation on "Government and its Functions." Mr. Rice's friends had expected much of him and they were not deceived. He made a good impression. His movements upon the rostrum showed that he had been there before. Rice has a deep voice, he is very deliberata, his gestures are almost perfect. He treated his subject well and before the completion of the delivery of his oration the audience were convinced that he was the winner.

Sears has just returned from Chillcothe, O., where he has been for several months reading law in the office of ex-Congressman Larry T. Neal, one of the foremost members of the Ohio bar. Mr. Sears graduated from the Ann Arbor law school in June, and has returned to his home to begin the practice of his profession. He is an old Douglas county boy who is very popular in this community.
