ensuing year, and State Senator F. A. Stocks, '84, of Blue Rapids, responded to a toast. On the other side of the political fence, Ed. T. Hackney, '95, populist member of the lower house is doing yeoman's service for his Alma Mater among the members of that body. Mr. Hackney introduced the bill in the house providing for the support of the University and the erection of new buildings and is pushing energetically the interests of the institution.
Miss Cassie A. Quinlan, '96, A. B. Glathart, '96, and Miss Abbie Noyes, Fine Arts, '95, have entered the University for graduate work this term.
Out of 295 students in the Graduate School of Harvard University,8 are alumni of the University of Kansas. Wesleyan University, Conn., with a representation of 9 is the only institution outside of Harvard University itself, having more students in the Graduate School than the University of Kansas.
Having elected W. A. Harris to the United States Senate, W. H. Sears, Law '90, has enlisted all the forces of his matchless energy in the service of his Alma Mater. It is quite superfluous to say that Mr. Sears is making things hum for the University, among the Solons at Topeka. That is one of his ways.
W. W. Reno, '93, is busy getting out an illustrated Kansas Blue Book of the present Legislature. When completed the book will contain half-tones of the members of both houses and of the state officers with short biographic sketches. Mr. Reno has been unusually successful in this undertaking and his book when published will contain a valuable fund of information concerning the present session of the Legislature.

Volumes V and VI of The Complete Works
The last work we shall have from the pen of Walter Pater, Gaston D. Latour, an unfinished romance.
Another addition to our Shakespeariana, The Gentle Shakespeare: A Vindication, by John Pym Yeatman.
A number of books on the land question, such as Land in Fetters, Scrutton; Land Nationalization, Wallace; The Irish Land Laws, Richey; Principles of Property in Land, Kinnear; The Land and the Labourers, Stubbs; The Origin of Property in Land, De Coulanges; Land Systems of Australasia, Epps.
A handsome edition in six volumes, of Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans, Englished by Sir Thomas North, anno 1579, with an introduction by George Wyndham. This is a valuable acquisition, both because it is an example of pure and vigorous English, and because it was Shakespeare's "storehouse of classical learning." For the source of Julius Caesar, Coriolanus, Antony and Cleopatra, Pericles, and other of Shakespeare's plays, we go to North's Plutarch. This edition is one of the Tudor Translations, edited by W. E. Henley.
Just now everybody is talking about the State Oratorical Contest to be held at Topeka Friday evening, Feb. 26th. At least two hundred students will go from here.

A special train of three coaches will be run to Topeka in the afternoon, returning after the contest. The train will be fast. Round trip 80 cts. See R. L. Stewart or Hilliard Johnson.
