SOCIETY. "Masks and dances, dimers and teas, musicals, operas, plays, folly, fright nights and days, Greed of gold and the pace that kills, glamour and gloss and glare, Fads and furbelses, fancies and frills, this is Vanity Fair." The Bethesda give a hop tonight in honor of The Bets give a hop tonight in honor of Ed. Carrol. Misses Jessie, Florence and Agnes Hill are newly pledged Pi Phis. Miss Hortense Street will entertain at cards this evening in honor of her cousin, Delia Street, who is visiting here from Minnesota. Monday evening at their chapter house, the Phi Gams gave a party to a select circle of friends. Dancing, cards and other amusements were provided. At their meeting Monday evening the Alpha Tau initiated Ray Taylor, Herbert Bailey and Irwin Benest, into the mystic rites of the order. Mr. R. C, Mitchell, a Tan alumnus from Ottawa was present to watch at the occasion and witness the sport. The Kappas gave a chocolate Saturday morning in honor of Miss May Whiting Grand Secretary of the order and in the evening, with Miss Esther Wilson as host, and Miss Josephine Scarles, Maud Spinning, and Louise Lewelling assisting, a dinner was given in honor of the same lady. The gaite of our social season has reached its height during the past week in the many factions which are being crowded in before the beginning of Lent. Our committee bursts of gaiy before Vanity Fair settles down to sober and perilous thoughts. A few guests were invited to the home of the Misses Doubleday on Monday evening; where the active chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta gave a tuffy pull. Cards and music entertainment during the evening, and sandwiches and coffee were served. Tuesday evening at Pytbian hall, the Barb girls of the University gave their annual party, and it was a most enjoyable event of this month's gaieties. The hall was very tastefully decorated, evergreens and ferns being much in evidence. The guests were received by Misses Mary Ladd Smith, Frances Cole, Ida Stem, Bess Harrington and Messrs Chas, Wakefield, Ben Ward, Chas, Brooks and Leslie Gould. Promptly at 8 o'clock the grand march began, led by Millie Padlock and Billy Reynolds, while Frances Towsley and Chas, Lovelace gave out the programs, which were decorated with pen and ink drawings, and the painting was continued until midnight with long intermissions for the quite elaborate refreshments served in the balcony. Then came the "Home Sweet Home," and the guests very reluctantly left. Among those present from out of town were: Carrie Rockefeller, Frances Newby and Miss Brewer of Kansas City, and Maurice Clippinger of Centralia. To the list of delightful fraternity parties which have lately been given is added that of Phi Kappa Psi, which took place Wednesday evening at Everett hall. Crimson lights shed a soft glow over the hall and gleaned from bowers of greenery which formed delightful cosy corners at one end. Soft draperies and bunting in one of the most pleasant features or to week was the fraternity party of Phil Delta Theta, which occurred on Friday evening at Pythian hall. The hall was transformed by its garb of evergreens and white and blue bunting. From the center of the room festoons of evergreens extended to the four corners and bunting was draped from the chandeliers to the sides of the room, forming a canopy overhead, and and then down the side wall, where it was relieved by many pennants. Cosy seats and soft cushions were everywhere in evidence. From the musicians corner Zeiler's orchestralured all to the dance, and in the balcony delightful refreshments were served. The grand march was led by Mr. And Mrs. Outland, and Mr. Lloyd Lakin and Miss Margaret Hammond distributed the programs. There were many guests from out of town, including Mr. and Mrs. Clair Brown and Miss Olsen of Muscota; Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Ware and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Banks of Topca; Ms. F. L. Flint of Napoleon Park, Kan.; Misses Helen Smith, Hazel Fassler, Abby Gerte, Gurtrade Deverean, Rossington, of Topca; Miss Kate Stone, Miss Gilbert and Miss Taylor, of Leavenworth; Miss Hargraves, Cook and Cole, of Harrington; Miss Meyers of Atchinson; Miss Miller of Olafhe, and the Messrs. Adams of Kansas City, Kan., Mr. Clarence Poindexter of Topca, Messrs. Carroll, McMath, Wayne and Johnson of Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. Cuester Mize and Mr. Harry Bronson, of Atchison. The banquet given by the Phi Gams' Saturday night was one of the most elaborate functions of the season. The event was brought off in the fraternity chapter house on Louisiana street and was attended by about sixty out of town guests. The home was draped in royal purple and white, and the artistic arrangement of palms and potted plants were further employed in decoration. In this wreath of bloom and burning, the gay company assembled to renew old associations and revive the community of fraternal interests. In the dining hall the tables had been arranged in a diamond shape, the form of the fraternity pin, and the banquet itself was a sumptious course dinner. Following this physical relegation came the mental feast in the shape of the following toasts. Mr. Wm. McLaughlin as tostmaster, offered welcome "To our Visiting Brothers." Successfully followed "The Pi Deuteson Chapter," Ed C. Fletcher; "An Ideal Chapter," *Clement A. Loyer*; "The Good of the Order," W. Y. Morgan; "Our Active Group," Geo. M. the fraternity colors, lavender and pink, relieved the harsh outlines of the hall, white Steinberg's orchestra, screened by palms, furnished inspired music. During the latter part of the evening refreshments were served in the balcony. The grand march was led by Prof. and Mrs. Green, and Mr. Fife and Miss Hammond gave out the programs. The out of town guests were: Miss Fleishman, Fuller, Fassler, Smith, Gay and Lord of Topeka; Mrs. Fife, the Misses Fife and Miss King of Kansas City, Kan.; Miss Bechtel of Hiwatha, and Miss Page of Geneva, N.

Now we have gathered a stock that has no rival in this country, and the early season's price we make on them make them most decidedly the biggest and best values ever offered. Innes, Bullene & Hackman. New Term. Like Sisyphus of classic myth, the student now finds that he to has been rolling a stone to the top of the hill, only to have to repeat the performance. Even though it be not the same old term rolling back for a new journey there is another so wondrously like it that Sisyphus himself would be deceived by it. That worthy gentleman may be thankful that Mount Oread was not the scene of his vain labor, and that a term's work was not the load that he had to roll upward. To some the past term has been a task of carrying water in a sieve—a very leaky memory being the unfortunate object symbolic in this figure. For such the new term will bring a change no doubt; but if the spirit of the old lives in the new, the term just beginning will prove a wheel of Ixion. The mild torment of the past will change in the future to a torture that will make the balmy breezes of the spring burn like blasts from purgatory. If the luckless student can see in this mythological hocus pocus any application of the old figure to present needs, let him pray most fervently to Bean Nuppe, the god of grinds, that the sieve of last term may be transformed into a bucket; and that the threatened wheel of Ixion may prove, instead of a single wheel, a whole cart with with pony harnessed and ready for business. SCIENCE DEPARGM.G. Dr. Hyde is carrying on some research work on respiration and the eye. C. L. R. The Medical student under Dr. Hyde are now testing some of the latest drugs. Dr. Williston lectures Saturdays at the University Medical College of Kansas City Mo., on "Heridity." Prof. McClung has lately obtained from Wood's Hall a valuable collection of marine forms to be used in the study of comparative anatomy. O. H. Brown, graduate student and assistant in Physiology is investigating the influence of pressure and temperature of gases upon the nervous system. Specimens of new fossil, birds and reptiles have been received by the Paleontological department from the university of Minnesota for inspection. Richard E. Seammon is doing special work on the clam. He has a large number of species on which he is making comparative study of the digestive system. Sydney Prentice '96 formerly artist of the Paleontological department of K. U. has received honorable mention from the Art Institute of Chicago where he is now taking work. He will probably accept an offer in Science department of Carnagie Institute Pittsburg, Penn. Mr. H. T. Martin assistant in the Paleontological museum has been offered a position with increased pay, in the British Museum. Mr. Martin is one of the most skilled collectors and preparators of fossils in the National Museum at Washington but declined it, The Botany I. class this year contains about 120 students. There is at present no room in University capable of accommodating such a number. As a result the class has been divided into two portions, one remaining in the zoology laboratory in Medic Hall, the other repairing to the Chemistry Building. The completion of the new museum will greatly relieve the present cramped facilities of the science department. The Physiological department previous to last year was oper to juniors and seniors in the School of Arts and Pharmacy students who were required by law take some physiology. Since last year the cause has been established for medical students who carry on experimental work in physiology throughout the year. The laboratory is well equipped with all important apparatus necessary for a physician. The course is outlined according to the requirements of the best medical institutions in the country and the students of last year received free credit for physiological work in all the institutions to which they went to complete their course. On the merit of excellent work done along this line, Clifford K. Spain received a scholarship at North West Medical College at Chicago. The students in the school of Arts and those preparing espec- ally for teachers have laboratory work also, and examinations and credits are largely based upon this feature of the course. E.F.
