LAWRENCE PEOPLE are enjoying a new kind of social entertainment. It is known as the "phonographic party." The originators are two enterprising University students who have purchased a phonograph and furnish the entertainment.
THE POOR medical student at Topeka has a hard time of it. Society threatens him with severe penalties if in after years any of his patients shall suffer his ignorance or lack of skill in the treatment of their bodily ills, and yet when he asks for a human body to dissect and study, he is told that public opinion will not permit such an unholy desecration and when he resorts to the only means left and patronizes the grave robbers, the mob wants to hang him and burn his college. If a man will be a doctor he must take the consequences.
