CHAPEL SERVICES.
A Distinctive Feature of Our Institution--Some Services of the Year.
The daily chapel services of the University constitute one of the worthiest customs which our institution recognizes, and they attract more attention from visitors than any other feature of our outward life. Few institutions of the size and character of the University of Kansas maintain a daily devotional service that can compare in impressiveness and attendance with ours.
Some additional features of the chapel exercises which make them valuable to the students are the Friday morning special addresses, and only since the beginning of this year, the Tuesday talks by members of the faculty. Among the men who have addressed the students this year are: W. R. Stubbs, Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf, Victor Murdock of the 7th district, P. P. Campbell of the 3d district, Speaker Clark of the Nebraska House of Representatives, Attorney-General C. C. Coleman, President Pihlblad of Bethany, President Schwegler of Ottawa University, Professor Reighard of Michiran University, Professor Grumman of Nebraska University, and professor McKeever of the State Agricultural College.
Shelley is getting some swell folders imported from Germany that will be ready for his customers in January.
Which Is It?
A visitor to the University said, "I am sure of one of two things. Either the K. U. girls are phenomenally homely, or the boys are phenomenally slow. Its the first place I've ever seen a girl with the challenge of mistletoe in her hair passed by with only an amused glance."
You'll enjoy your vacation clothed in one of our Hart, Schaffner & Marx SUITS AND OVERCOATS.
Nothing is neater or more stylish than those platinums that Shelley is putting out this season.

AWAKENED PUBLIC CONSCIENCE.
Attorney-General Coleman Lauds Roosevelt and Folk.
Attorney General C. C. Coleman vigorously arraigned betrayers of public trust in his address in chapel last Friday. "Officials owe it that they should be loyal to the government and to public interest," said Mr. Coleman, "but it has become the common thing for senators and representatives to earn large incomes by department practice which is calculated to obstruct the wheels of justice. Bribery and perjury have, of late, been called mere 'contentional' or 'technical' crimes. But stirred by the influence of our president, the greatest character of contemporary history, and that of Folk, La Follette, Ida Tarbell, Lawson and others, the public conscience is awakening. Here in Kansas where the prohibition law has been so disregarded that it has been a laughing stock for twenty years, the awakening has come. The work of our governor in securing its enforcement will live long after he is gone."

Graduate Magazine.
For the first time in the history of the University, the Alumni Association has permanent headquarters on the hill. The Regents have set aside Room 3 in Fraser Hall as alumni headquarters and a large room in the basement for the printing plant, where the Magazine and the Kansan are printed. A general secretary is employed by the association to edit the Graduate Magazine, manage the alumni printing plant, keep the records of the alumni association, and gather as much information as possible about alumni.
The Magazine contains advertising this year for the first time in its history. It contains more University news than formerly and the department of Alumni notes contains news from graduates of all schools of the University.
The secretary elected by the Board of Directors for the current year is L. N. Flint, '97. Mr. Flint taught in the Lawrence high school after graduation, and afterward held the position of principal of the Olathe high school. Later he bought a half interest in the Manhattan Nationalist which he sold to accept the position of secretary of the Alumni Association.
