The deficiency of $10.73 was being made up by members of the Faculty and the matter seemed adjusted at last, when three of the subscription papers are reported lost by those who had charge of collecting the amounts due on them. In little more than a week the University will close, and a committee elected by the University to do certain work, and promised by the University the money to carry on that work, will be left with a debt of fifteen or twenty dollars, unless those who have promised aid, and other friends, come to the rescue immediately. Particularly is it asked that those who have signed subscription papers and have not yet paid see the collectors at once, that the account may be closed.
For the committee, E. M. HOPKINS.
Committee: A. G. Canfield, Mrs. M. P. Clark, Guy Sherman, W. N. Logan, C. E. Rose, Wm. Wood, E. H. Cullison, F. D. Northrop, U. S. Guyer, P. S. Burkholder L. N. Flint and C. A. Carter.

Senior Play.
The Seniors have been rehearsing their play for several months under the direction of Miss Georgia Brown. It will be presented next Wednesday, June 3, at Bowersock's Opera House. Seats reserved Monday at Leis' Drug Store. The scene of the comedy is Lawrence and the principal character is Charles, a student who is thrown into all sorts of embarassing real University predicaments. There are several minor love complications and interesting scenes true to Lawrence life.
The 64 page annual which the class is preparing will probably be on sale that evening at a nominal price. The play is full of local hits. The net proceeds will go to the Students' Loan Fund.
