of it all, and with power to solve, one by one its mysteries, yet never reaching the end—this is the grandest thought that ever flitted across my mind.
In the midst of all this seeming chaos and confusion there is a ruling Power, in whose image, we are told, man is created, and which guides with its omniscience the destinies of man as well as those of the universe.
He who perserves in adversity has one of the best elements of success, whatever misfortune may befall us.
The comparative shortness of man's life; and yet the joy, peace and happiness which he can infuse into others lives if he but be a lover of his fellow men.
The thought of consecrating myself to the betterment of man in such a way as to be acceptable to God.
Professor of science and Mathematics:
It is perhaps too sacred for publication.
The origin of life, and heredity.
The absolute absoluteness of God.
That I shall live eternally with God as my friend, and in his society be eternally learning.
The immensity of the universe and the complexity of the laws by which it is governed.
Women on the University pay rolls.
We cannot all be great but we can at least approximate greatness by keeping our ideals high and our thoughts and lives sweet and pure.
OBSERVATIONS
With one or two exceptions the request was taken in good faith.
Students in philosophy seemed especially interested in the result of the inquiry.
The brevity and conciseness of the Professors as compared with the students is noticeable.
The ladies, a number of whom were addressed seemed quite reticent, only one having responded.
Our last issue was held over one day in order to report the Jockey Club event but our correspondent failed to report.
The Lecture Bureau.
The University Lecture Bureau this year has given the students and the people of Lawrence attractions of unusual interest. Henri Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal is one of the best orators that ever appeared before a Lawrence audience. Ovide Musin is well known in Lawrence and is always greeted by a large crowd of persons eager to hear the marvelous strains which proceed from his violin. The Original Tennessee Jubilee Singers were thoroughly enjoyed, while the Mozart Symphony Club maintained its record for excellent musical productions.
Next Wednesday evening in University Hall the last regular number offered by the Bureau will be given. It will be something unique—a picture story. A love story is told by means of about 250 pictures taken from real life and thrown upon a large screen. These pictures, life size, represent out door scenes, an interview with Chauncey Depew and various other pictures of exceeding interest.
The Bureau will probably give an extra number in May as a sufficient sum of money for this purpose has been made from the sale of tickets. In addition to this a small sum of money may be left in the treasury for the use of the Bureau next year. W.W.R.
The Betas had their pictures taken Monday.
Miss Alice Smith, of Brunswick, N. Y., a former student in the University, is visiting with Profesor Cowan this week.

The mother and sister of Prof. H. B. Newson arrived in Lawrence yesterday. They will make their future home with the Professor in this city.
