The Minnesota Daily blossoms cut this week. Notwithstanding the fact that the Ariel is a good weekly paper, the Daily will fill a long felt need at the University of Minnesota.
The State Normal with its characteristic progressiveness, is just now in the height of basket ball when the base ball season is drawing to a close in most other school. How about it. Mr. Oven Man?

This is the only consolation for the sophomores of Washburn college over their May pole "scrap." The freshmen clearly outwitted them. They put up their pole on the campus and the sophomores despite their well laid plans, were unable to take it down.
It is true that the path of the editor of a college paper is not strenued with roses but we have tried to make the best of it. We have encountered numerous difficulties but have born our burden humbly and meekly until some malicious individual took our new spring hat from the library while we were rustling an item a few days age, without leaving another in its place and now we think we have a kick coming. The worst of it was that the editor had not yet had a chance to wear it down to see his best girl and now she will probably cut him cold because he has to wear his last winter's sky-piece. It may have been carelessness on the part of the individual, in fact we hope it was, but such carelessness may some day land him where the state furnishes him with hats etc. We have a nice hat mark that was intended for the hat and if the person will kindly call around at our office he may have it too as it is no good to us now.
There are 77 Kansas counties, 21 states and territories, and 3 foreign countries represented in the present enrollment of students at the University, with Cuba, Porto Rica, Hawaii, and the Philippines still to come in Think of what an impetus will be given to foot racing when several hundred of the tribe of Aguinaldo enter K U.—Iola Register.
Gov Stanley congratulated Chancellor Snow on the amount of money raised here for the India Famine fund.
There are times when it it is especially difficult for one to say exactly what one means but never have we had so much difficulty in that line as in talking to the readers of the WEEKLY. The type setters persist in twisting our remarks around until we can scarcely recognize them and generally feel like disowning them. Last week in one of the editorials occurred the remark that "the Missourians should not be encouraged by their defeats," while the copy read "discouraged" as plain as the nose on a man's face. Such mistakes are extremely aggravating but we ask the readers of the WEEKLY to overlook them.
KANSAS UNIVERSITY.
The number of students enrolled at the end of the first term is 1102, a gain of 20 over the enrollment of one year ago, and 131 more than the total registration for the year 1895-99 It is gratifying to note that no one school of the University can claim all of the increase, each having a share of it. Also much area is represented in the University, the registration showing the presence of students from Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, 'Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, Montana, Arizona and South Dakota.
Important changes have been made this year in the work offered by the various schools of the University. In the school of arts new and advanced courses have been added in the departments of philosophy, chemistry, German and English; and military drill has been a part of the regular work in physical training. In the school of law a third year has been added and entrance requirements have been raised.
The school of engineering has added to its work courses in mechanical and mining engineering
The School of Pharmacy now offers two courses of study: one a two years course leading to the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist, the other a four years course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science.
Hitherto one year of preparatory work in Medicine has been included in the School of Arts, but this year the work in Medicine has had another year added to it and the two years thus obtained now constitute the School of Medicine. This courses comprises all the so-called scientific branches preparatory to instruction in practical and clinical work. It is the intention to add as soon as practicable, the remaining courses of medical instruction, completing the full four year's work for the medical degree. The school is a member of the Association of American Medical colleges and prepares its graduates for admission to the third year of the eastern medical colleges.
The board of instruction now numbers seventy. Ten new positions have recently been created. Of these, five are filled by Kansas University men.
Within the past year one new building has been completed and a second begun. The Fowler Machine shops, the gift of Mr. George A. Fowler of Kansas City, Mo, were placed in use early in the spring of 1899, and a few months later work began on the new chemistry building provided for by appropriation of the last legislature. This building is now under roof, and it is thought that it will be ready for use by the opening of the next fall term —The Oread.
A Golden Treasury of Good Reading.
For girls a special group of stories has been procured. These stories are by such well-known story writers as Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary E Wilkins, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Edith Wharton, Eliza O White, Morgangraf Sangster, Ellen Mackubin, Florence Converse and Kate Chopin. They will be paricularly interested also in Margaret Deland's article, "The Modern Girl's ambitions," "The Tasmitza," by Mrs. Burton Harrison; and "Taste in Music," by Reginald de Koven.
Every member of the family, old and young, is considered in preparing the contents of the Youth's Companion. This is shown by a glance at some of the contrib- fusions announced for the volumes for 1900. For boys, besides some fifty carriage stories, may be mentioned Andrew Carnegie's article, "The Habit of Thrirt"; "My First Survey," by Prof. John Trowbridge; "About Lawyers," by the Hon. John W Griggs; "Country Boys Who Come to New York," by S A Nelson; "Character, Credit, Capital" by the Hon Lyman J. Gage; "The Boyhood of Farraug," by Capt A T Mahan; and"Ambitions: True and False," by Bishop Henry C Potter.
For readers of all ages may be noted: "The Experiences of a Bandmaster," by John Philip Sousa; Perilous Service in the Philippines, "by General Wesley Merritt; "Are there Too Many College Men?"; Prof. James B Angelt; "Can We Prolong Our Lives?" by Dr. Cyrus Edson: "Photographing Stars" by Prof. C A Young; "A Baritone among Famous People," by Victor Maurel; My War Horses, by Gen. Joseph Wheeler; "The Brownings," by Harriet Hosmer; "Pulpit Eloquence," by Dean Farrar.

THE YOUNTH'S COMPANION.
203 Columbus Ave. Boston. Mass.
The Zandas gave their last parts last night in Pythian hall, and if possible, it was even more enjoyable than any of the others given by them. During the two years existence of the Zenda club, it maintained an enviable reputation and its parties have been most popular. The necessity for the clubs disbanding, caused by the graduation of all of its members but two, is as much regretted by its friends as by the individual member.
Misses Sylvia Robinson, Gladys Morgan and Amber Robinson entertained the Zendas and their young lady friends at a picnic at Suspension bridge Saturday.
SOCIETY.
The cap and gown reception given by Chancellor Snow to the seniors Friday was very pretty. It was held in library hall. The long hall was tastefully garnished with palms and flowers, snowball being the principal among these. Chancellor Snow received the guests, assisted by Professor and Mrs. Miller, Professor Sayre and wife, Professor Blackmar, Professor Penny and Mrs. Penny, Professor and Mrs. Green, Professor Marvin, Professor Williston and wife, thus representing the deans of all the schools. Some of the seniors from each school assisted the receiving party in making the evening pass pleasantly for all present. Irres were served during the evening at small tables.
The Pi Delt boys and their girl friends went up the river to Cameron Bluff Saturday evening. They left the boat house about four o'clock in the afternoon, carrying well filled lunch baskets in the boats, and returned by moonlight.

lunch at Cameron's Bluff and returned
later in the evening.
The active and alumnae members of Kappa Alpha Theta received Saturday afternoon at the home of Miss Isabelle Havan, on Ohio street. The parrons were decorated profusely with flowers, snowballs being clustered about in great bunches, and panies, the fraternal flower, set in vaces in every available space. In the dining room snowballs and panies were used effectively, and here ices cake and punch were served to the guests.

LAW NOTES.
