The picture of Follows of the Geological Society of America, has been framed and hung in the lecture room. The mining journal met as usual on Tuesday. The first part of the hour was spent in examining and reviewing the current magazines. During the last part Prof Haworth began a scries of lectures on a "A Brief Historical Outline of the Different Geological Surveys of America Both State and Federal." W. S. Suttan has discovered a new co- nclusion of the nucleus in an individual cell. It is a point of considerable interest but little is yet known of its significance. Dr. Williston lectured before the Biological club on Tuesday on the Wyoming Fossil fields. The Doctor told of the early discovery of the fields and his new work there while connected with Yale. He showed the location and the probable manner of formation of the beds of fossils. He told of the forms of animal life found there and also of the amount of material to be found there—enough to supply every institution and museum in America with all desired and then still there would be plenty left. Methods of digging out and transporting the materials was also shown Excellent lanten slides were used all through the lecture Is K. U. Literary? The chances are that if the question was asked of either student or faculty, the answer would, nine times out of ten, be a decided negative. It seems strangts that the leading institution of the state should not make a better literary showing. We have by all odds the best facilities for literary study. No other school in the state can boast of a library equal to ours. We have by far the longest course of study in language and English literature, and thorough work is accomplished in every course laid down in the catalogue. Yet we are almost a unit in saying that the literary effort of the school falls far short of what it ought to be. The reasons assigned for this state of affairs are very often heard but seldom discussed. Among them we find too much football, too much society, no encouragement by the faculty, no honors worth working for, etc. Probably the first two are the most often heard. They are usually given as sufficient and self evident, the complete solution of the question. To us, however, they appear palpably absurd. The idea that the game of football, requiring but eleven men for training, practice, etc., should destroy literary effort is an institution of over 1,100 members is ridiculous. Grant that every member of that institution is an ardent supporter of the game, the Saturday afternoon he spends watching practice or match games and probably two or three hours during the week certainly can not materially detract from interest in literary work. "Too much football" is a lame excuse. As the social side. We would like to know what is the exact proportion of the students who attend some social gathering on an average of once a week between Monday and Saturday. We venture to say that if it was known it would create no little surprise. Where one student goes to one extreme in social affairs five go to the opposite. We have heard of students going through the University without even attending a class party. Who would wish to read a literary sketch by a student who never mingles with his fellows, who is never interested in their thoughts and affairs? If their society is not congenial to him, the chances are that what he writes would not entertain them. We often hear the faculty criticized for not giving the encouragement along this line that we have a right to expect. It is certainly an open question. What the instructors of other institutions are doing, we are not prepared to say, but it would be an interesting matter to investigate. Encouragement from this source should be given if desired and appreciated by the student body. As to honors desired, some believe that prizes should be awarded, others are opposed to the prize system. It would be well for those who desire to put forth efforts in a literary way to express themselves on the subject and offer suggestions, Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U.
