K. U. can scraccely hope to win the state oratorical contest; Oratory is not cultivated in the least. A University that depends upon natural born orators will seldom win first place.
Prize in Oratory.
At the beginning of the year Prof. Blake offered two prizes of $25 each to oest orators of the Junior and Senior classes respectively. These prizes are to be awarded on the following conditions:
.
VOL.1. NO.11.
As the students deliver their chapel orations they are graded on the delivery and composition by members of the English department. At the end of the year the ten students having the highest grades will be permitted to contest before a private committee. Of these ten the best five will be selected, who will take part in a public contest for the prize.
The object of the professor in offering this prize was not to help chapel exercises, but to encourage oratory in the University. We consider it a discredit to be defeated in foot ball by any college of the state, yet we are being outstripped in the oratorical contests, year after year. To win in the oratorical contests would be a greater credit to us than to win the foot ball pennant. Mental excellence is more to be sought than physical superiority.
We are glad to see any movement to encourage oratory at Kansas University and hope that every member of the Jurior and Senior classes will strive to win the prize offered by Prof. Blake.
Gone to Chicago.
Professor L. L. Dyche, left last Friday in charge of the University's exhibit at the world's fair. The exhibit was carried in six cars, with an extra car for the five men accompanying the professor and for the "traps" to be used in mounting, and unmounted specimens. Each car was decorated on both sides with a streamer bearing the legend: "Kansas University's World's Fair Exhibit."
Two of the cars were flat cars and were covered with canvass. They contained the mounted animals which were too large to be carried in a closed car. The train left Lawrence at an early hour and arrived in Chicago Saturday morning.
In the exhibit, as the JOURNAL has stated before, there are 102 specimens already mounted, and in addition a large number of skins of small animals and heads of larger animals to be mounted after reaching Chicago. Among the specimens are nine moose, six elk, five buffalooes, four caribou, nine mule deer, five Virginia deer, one horse, seven goats, two grizzly bears, ten sheep, nine lions, six antelope, two wolverines, three buffalo wolves, two cecolots, eight coyotes, seven foxes, two Canada lynxes, one Kansas lynx and two jack rabbits.
Professor Dyche will remain in Chicago till the close of the fair, as it will take all of his time from now till the fair opens to get the exhibit in readiness.
By a recent action of the faculty the six, formerly so-called corses have been abolished. Henceforward course will be used to mean a branch of study pursued for one term. By the present scheme freshmen and sophomores will have considerable latitude in selecting studies.
Fred Bassett has been released from jail on a stay of execution, his case having been certified to the supreme court. His counsel should have left enough alone. It can hardly be hoped that he will again receive so light a sentence,
Every student interested in literature should attend the Language Conference. One hour a week devoted to such a cause can not be wasted.
The Annual.
The Annual board has been busy for the past few days getting together copy from the class editors and the editors for the various schools. A strong effort will be made to send most of the matter to the printer before the close of the holidays. The delays which have thus occurred have been unavoidable, but it is hardly necessary to say that the character of the Annual will not suffer in consequence of them.
The contract for printing the Annual has been let to Hail & O'Donnell, of Topica, whose work is generally admitted by competent critics to be unassured, perhaps unequalled, by that of any other firm in the West.
A name has not yet been selected for the book, but the board has two or three under consideration and will very likely make choice of one before the holidays. Meantime the board will be glad to receive suggestions on this matter from any one who is interested in the success of the Annual.
Some of the best literary talent in the University, among both professors and students is now engaged upon matter for the literary department.
Among the interesting and valuable features of the Annual will be brief biographical accounts of the members of the University faculty. Though these accounts must of necessity be very meager, covering only a few of the leading points in each case, yet it is believed that the students will appreciate this method of putting before them in a convenient form some information about our professors.
Prof. Murphy is preparing a map of Kansas, which will give a large number of data concerning every educational institution in the state. The form of the symbols used will indicate the nature of the schools, whether common school, business college, or university, etc. The color of the symbol will indicate the source of maintenance, whether from the state, from religious organizations, or other associations. The location of the symbol on the map will indicate the location of the school in the state.
The subscription books of the Annual will be closed January 10th, since the board must definitely decide by that date as to the size of the edition to be gotten out. Only a very few more copies will be published than the subscription list calls for, and those who neglect to subscribe will find it difficult if not impossible to secure a copy after the contract for the edition has been made. Old students who remember how the Christmas edition of the Courier was exhausted last year long before the demand was supplied will do well to warn their friends among the new students against the mistake of supposing that it will be perfectly easy to get a copy of the Annual at the last moment, whether they are subscribers or not.
Students should attend the presentation of A Celebrated Case at the Opera House Thursday and Friday nights of this week. It is one of the best of modern plays and under the management of Miss Georgia Brown it cannot fail to be a success. Miss Brown has done so much in various ways for the University that all connected with the institution feel kindly towards her. The cast is exceptionally strong, and includes several students of K. S. U.
