Chapel Notes.
Mr. Marshall sang a solo last Friday.
Prof. Wilcox led last Friday, speaking of the lessons from the crucifixion of Jesus that might be applied right here in the University.
Prof. Hopkins has led this week.
The subject Monday morning was the danger of partisanship and the necessity of openness of mind; Wednesday morning, the need of looking through text books to the living'soul behind them; Thursday morning, the duty of looking through the individual actions and opinions of men about us and seeing the motives.
Rev. Mr. Banker will lead next week.
Elocution Recital.
The elocution recital last Monday given by Mrs. Clark's pupils, showed there was some good work being done in this line.
Mrs. Wm. Tuttle rendered her numbers remarkably well, considering she has studied elocution but ten weeks. She has a good voice. We hope to hear from her soon again.
Miss Scharff, who has become a favorite with Lawrence audiences rendered "Boum-Boum" with so much tenderness and feeling as to hold her hearers spell-bound. Her ease adds much beauty to her appearance.
Edgar Allen Poe's "Tell Tale Heart," by Mr. Frederick Wood, was on the dramatic order. His rendition was forcible. His talent was unknown to many of those present.
Miss Christine Jaedicke recited, "How Girls Study," in a most pleasing manner. The appreciation of the audience was shown by the hearty applause.
Two piano selections by the Misses Brown and Whitaker were especially well played.
Science Notes.
Prof. Stevens left for Germany last Monday where he will spend the summer studying Entomology and Histology under the direction of Dr. Strasburger of Bonn University. During his absence Professors Barber and Sterling will take charge of his classes.
The class in Zoology has completed the text book and will spend the remainder of the term in laboratory work, particularly in the classification of birds.

Mr. Frank Marcy has moved his photographic outfit to the north tower of the Main building where he has fitted up a room admirably suited to his line of work.
The Paleontological department is busily engaged in taking pictures of the restorations of Kansas Mammals. These pictures are very large and models of Photographic art. They will be exhibited in the coming Brussel's Exposition.
