"The Tempest" given at the Opera house Thursday and Friday evenings under the management of Georgia H. Brown was an enimently successful affair. The advance sale of tickets being more than the house could accommodate and the satisfaction of the two audiences being so great, the play will be repeated Tuesday night, May 25th.
Y. W. C. A. Picnic.
That college girls know how to have a good time was proven at the spread given last Saturday afternoon by the Y. W. C. A. in honor of the Seniors. The table, which was spread on the campus in front of Snow Hall, groaned in self-complacence, and the classic atmosphere sharpened the appetites of the feasters. Miss Stone made an admirable toastmaster. The first toast, Our Seniors, was given by Miss McGregor, and responded to by Miss Warren. Miss Hickey told of the possibilities of vacation, when a young woman's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, and Miss Lewelling expatiated on the Joys and Sorrows of the Lunch Room. To Miss Starr was assigned the subject of Recollections of University Life—what they will be to the post-graduate. Miss Woodman spoke of the Spirit of Good Fellowship, which was so happily exemplified in the assembled company. Miss Snow, the president of the association, made a very pleasing extemporaneous speech.
The Pavilion Party.
The Kappa Kappa Gammas entertained their gentlemen friends at a very pleasant pavilion party last Monday night at the home of Mr. J. D. Bowersock. The lawn presented a most attractive appearance, rows of chinese lanterns and other lights being stretched from tree to tree and settees and hammocks distributed throughout the yard. The pavilion was very tastefully decorated with the fraternity colors and flowers. Rugs and carpets were spread upon the tennis court adjoining the pavilion from a grotto in the corner of which ices were served. Buch's orchestra furnished music for the dancing, which was kept up until a late
hour. The out-of-town guests were Misses Emma Shephard, of Burlingame, May Burwell, of Wichita, Conie Bear of Paola and Sampson of Salina.

Chapel Notes.
Dr. Cordley has been the leader this week. Monday's subject was the lightness of the burden that we take up from a sense of duty, and the comparative ease of a life full of work over that which feels no demands upon it.
Tuesday's subject was the true basis of honor seen in service, not in authority; Wednesday's, the breadth of our nature and the necessity of cultivating all sides of it.
Prof. Cowan took Dr. Cordley's place Thursday morning.

H. E. Davis has been granted a fellowship in the department of bacteriology in the University of Chicago. He will study under Prof. Jordan.
