LAWRENCE, KAN., JAN. 28, 1899.
The term of the present management of the WEEKLY expires with this issue of the publication. We have appeared upon the stage of action, have played our little part, and must now give way to others. Whom, we know not. During the past term we have endeavored to give you all the news connected with the University. We have encouraged the school enterprises, have lauded our representatives in victory and soothed them in defeat. But why repeat this? We merely did what we should. Our part has oftimes been strong. Cliffs of difficulty have confronted us. We have been criticised justly accused wrongly. Just one week ago, when we thought to have passed the shoals, a storm of cruel words fell from the chapel platform upon our little bark and shattered it. Stranded, we were towed ashore by time in his flight. Weary and footsore, we have reached the goal, and now await your judgment. Let your sentence be what it may, we can but say, "We have done what we could."
Don't forget the WEEKLY election Monday.
February 1 is the date of the cratorical contest.
Encourage our orators by attending the contest Wednesday evening. There will be no charge for admission.
At the University of Michigan a silver cup will be given to the student who ranks highest in a series of inter-society debates.
There is no reason why any student should not attend the Oratorical contest next Wednesday evening. A splen did program has been arranged and while there are but two orations, each one will be highly interesting and will, according to precedent, be delivered in a masterly manner.
A bill providing for the granting of three year teacher's certificates to all graduates of Kansas colleges has been introduced into the legislature. Such a law would not be a good one. It would place graduates of the more thorough schools on a par with those from colleges where educationnr facilities are not so great. There should, however; be a law granting teachers' certificates to students who have pursued the study of pedagogy in the University.
The clipping from an article sent to one of the state papers by a State Normal graduate which we publish in another column shows the genuine meanness of some people. The fidelity of the author of that article to his Alma Mater is hardable, but whether it shows good taste to attempt to gain appropriations for the school that he favors at the expense of some worthier institution, is a question. The author of the article either intentionally made misstatements, or was in ignorance and did not attempt to find out the true state of affairs. The appropriations which the University receives are inadequate. The school is filled to overflowing, the apparatus is insufficient thousands of dollars worth. of specim ens are stored away which should long since have had a receptacle. There can be no comparison between between the Normal and the University—each has its own line of work. Both should be supported.
The Nebraskan is urging that a dramatic club be formed at Nebraska University similar to our Masque. It also advises that convocations be held three times a year. Also our idea.
To the industrious college student there is a sort of weird pleasure in examinations, while the careless student finds examination week to be a protracted nightmare.
There are three times a year when college students make resolutions—Once at the beginning of each term and once on New Year's day.
We have every reason to feel assured that the legislature will be very favorable to the University.
ECONOMIC SEMINARY.
C. N. Belcher presented a very short review of Ward's new Outlines of Sociology. The author divides his work into two parts, social philosophy and social science. Society he thinks is the highest science, and should be investigated by the student at the completion of his other course.
An interesting discussion on currency for the Philippines was precipitated by G. F. Brown's brief announcement of a report on the financial condition of the Philippines. He stated that the report showed there was a circulation on $40,000,000 in silver among a people numbering 8,000,000. Gold is hardly at all receivable among the native Filipinos and a silver standard is probably preferable for those people. In the discussion several methods or theories of currency were advanced as possible for these new possessions. One suggestion was the introduction of a coin of the weight and fineness of the United States dollar but not being redeemable in gold. This would then circulate at its metal value and should the Filipinos ever advance sufficiently in civilization to become members of the Union the coin could be made redeemable and would then rise to a parity with the United States dollar.
Another suggestion was that a special 50 cent piece could be introduced there containing approximately 50 cents of silver, or say of the weight of our dollar, and be redeemable in gold at 50 cents. This would facilitate exchanges and being so near the present weight of a silver coin of 50 cents value in the Philippines would readily circulate with the natives at that value.
At the next meeting of the Seminary, February 6, Mr. Daum is expected to report on divorces and Mr. Brown on the Annals of the American Academy.
Will Try Our Plan.
Kansas University is asking the legislature for something like $300,000. Of course they do not expect to get all this, but by showing their liberality in asking they expect to be dealt out to liberally. There is a point here for us. Every department would do well to send a lobby down to Topeka to work for its interests. The more we ask for the more they will think we need and the more we will get. —Students Herald.
Miss Grace Duff, of Horton, a former K. U. student and a member of the Kappa fraternity, who has been visiting friends here, left Friday for Kansas City. She was accompanied there by Misses Nelle Morris and Mae Inge.

The first of the large spring parties we given Friday night in Pythian hall by the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and was a most auspicious opening to the season. The hall was most elaborately decorated. Festons of evergreens were hung from the center to the sides of the room, and electric lights were used most effectively. A large Beta pin worked out in electric lights was a prominent feature of the decorations, and the pink and blue of the fraternity was also in evidence. Steinberg's orchestra of Topeka was stationed in the west end of the hall behind a screen of evergreens studded with electric lights. Dainty refreshments were served in the gallery. The guests were received by Miss Andrews, Day of Atchison, Frederica Bullne and Cross; Messrs Bradford, Leonard, Parent and Carroll. A number of out of town guests were present, among them being Miss Eva Day of Atchison, Miss Julia Simmons or Leavenworth, Mr. Guilford Dudley, Mr. Will and Mr. Lute Wikadal of Topka.
The Pi Phise was most charmingly en-tertained last Saturday afternoon by the ir patroness, Mrs. J. W. Green. Progressive Old Maid was played the fore part of the afternoon, prizes being won by Misses Harriet Ayres and Frederica Bullene. At the close of the game the doors into the dining room were opened and the girls were invited to sit down to a delightful cookey-shine. When this was over a number of the girls gave an impromptu minstrel show followed by charades.
A recent number of the Atchison Globe contains the announcement of the engagement of Miss Ruth Hetherington to Mr. Luther Todd, Mr. Todd formerly attended the University and was a member of the Phi Gam fraternity. Miss Hetherington also is known here.
