Miss Eugenia Piatt, Fraser's Hall. Saturday evening from 8 to 10. One Lesson, soc: Twelve, $5.00. Carpenters are busy putting the new pipe organ in position. The Barb girls are making arrangements for a party some time before the holidays. The river is frozen over and affords plenty of skating for the students who are energetic enough to brave the cold weather. The storm doors have at last been pu. in position at the entrances to Fraser hall. While they are a trifle late in appearance they remind one of old times in winters past. There is no reason why K. U. should not have as good a band as that of any other college. There is plenty of good material and, all that is needed is an enthusiastic organizer. A number of students attended a literary at the Model school west of the city Wednesday night. Several of them took part in a debate and have now settled the question satisfactorily as to whether a bachelor leads a happier life than an old maid. Several days ago a student casually remarked to a member of the faculty when they were alone in the class room dursing morning exercises, "It seems we are the only ones who do not attend chapel." The professor became confused and stammered some excuse. The result was that there is now not a more studious chapel attendant in the University than this professor. The Nebraskan, a model university publication at Lincoln, is authority for the statement that Walter Camp has lost his prestige as authority on matters pertaining to football. The reason for this is that Mr. Camp copied parts of the write up of the Nebraska-Kansas game as it appeared in the Kansas City Times and also the statement of one of the officials in regard to the game. It is remarkable how absent minded students are when reading library books. These books should be objects of general pride. Instead they are finger- and pencil-marked, and the corners of the leaves turned down. The average student when reading a book delights in finding some particularly fine passage and is able to appreciate it, without its being underscored and the words defined in scrawling pencil marks. Many fine volumes have been rendered absolutely hideous by these malpractices. Besides its passages marked are often an index to the character of the one who made them, and many times do not exhibit a particularly desirable one. Prof. Sayre gave a very interesting and instructive lecture on colors. It was demonstrated that color has no objective existence as is commonly believed. Color of pigments depend upon the property of the material to absorb certain colors of the solar spectrum and of emitting others. In color of objects depends wholly upon this peculiar action upon sunlight or conversely upon the action of sunlight upon the substance. All of the colors of nature therefore are dependent upon the character of the sunlight. Prof. Sayre performed many experiments upon the stage to demonstrate the formation of color by chemical action. Colors were shown the audience by the aid of the electric lantern. A number of drawings were exhibited which demonstrated the effect of color upon plant tissue.

Mr. Cunningham is a very pleasant speaker and the Washburn people thing that Cunningham and "The Reign of Law" will win a good place in the contest. The society editor of the Lawrence Daily World, the popular down town paper, called the attention of its readers to the picture of the Lawrence society girls in Sunday's issue of the Kansas City World. Of course we purchased a copy for this express purpose and found the pictures of six popular society belles but none had such a brilliant write-up as the popular society editor of the World. The half hour oral quizzes appear to be very popular in Prof. Adams's class in institutions. When on Tuesday the professor proposed reviewing his lectures after having had a quiz every day for a week, a little more than half of the class having occupied the chair during that time, two members of the class insisted on taking a quiz, and so were given the privilege of occupying the chairs a half hour each, while the other members of the class and the professor took turns in asking them questions. The report is now going the rounds that animate of the Missouri penitentiary declares he has discovered a mathematical process which will entirely do away with algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, and perform their functions with one-half the labor now required. While discussing this report Prof. Miller smiled blandly, and remarked that across the whole report may be written the statement that when the alleged discoverer gets out of the penitentiary his ears will be longer than they ever were before.
