There has been a great deal of discussion of the trouble in the Law Library last week and many erroneous reports are abroad. It is not our intention to give a detailed account of the trouble, but only to say that the actions of the Librarian were countenanced by the University authorities, and that he as custodian of the law books did his duty.
Lawrence Journal.
Though not generally known, the Lawrence Journal company is one of the largest printing concerns in the state of Kansas. It does more railroad printing than any other firm in the state and is only exceeded in the amount of paper it uses by the State Printing company at Topeka. The Journal ships in more freight than any other Lawrence firm except of course the dealers in extra heavy merchandise.
Eleven years ago the Journal was a struggling paper located in the basement of the post office building and employed but three or four men. Now it employes over fifty men, occupies two three story buildings and is continually crowded with work. The work done by the Journal company is entrusted to skilled men. Mr. A. G. Alrich, the efficient foreman of the job composing room has been with the paper many years; Mr. A. P. Gill, the foreman of the press room has been with the company, twenty years, while Mr. W. J. Flintom has seen twenty-seven years service with this company.
School of Fine Arts.
The chief event of the past week was the rendering of "The Creation" by the oratorio society. The able criticism given in another part of this paper makes it needless to say more. It is to be regretted, however, that a larger proportion of the students was not present in the audience. An oratorio well rendered is an education to all, who hear, no matter what branch of study they may be more directly interested in. The music students thoroughly appreciated the opportunity of hearing so great a work.
The usual piano recital was postponed till next week on account of the Tuesday afternoon lecture by Mrs. Venter. Both the evening and afternoon lectures were well attended.
The Alpine Concert Company will give an entertainment in Music Hall, Friday, March 6. Through some oversight there was no notice sent to Music Hall of the reception given by Chancellor and Mrs. Snow to the students. Hence many that would have attended missed what is always a pleasant event in Universiyty life. Prof. Farrell was the violinistat a concert in Leavenworth last Monday given by Mr. Frank Hunt who has just returned from Paris after a course of study under Bouhy. Mr. Farrell also entertained the grand lodge of A. O. U. W. in Leavenworth last week, receiving hearty encores on all the numbers rendered.
