HADLEY has taken C. A. Peabody's place as business manager of the KANSAN. To-night will be presented the play for the benefit of the Athletic Association. We hope all the students will attend. They will be interested and amused, and will also help build up the athletic fund. The two literary societies have determined to give no June exhibition programs. Our Commencement exercises are so numerous and long drawn out already that any shortening, is a relief, and the literary society special programs at the end of the year do not add particularly to the attractions of Commencement week. The audiences drawn to hear the programs presented are not usually large. The fact is the University is out growing that sort of thing. The old fashioned literary society "exhibition" is an antiquated relic of the past, and is both useless and out of date. Better let the literary societies undertake to accomplish good work all through the term than to let things drag till towards Commencement and then come out with a hurrah. Besides, the literary societies have suffered the fate that inevitably comes when courses are divided, and students taking special work find it to their interest to join special clubs, they experience a great difficulty in inducing the older and more experienced students to join and remain with them. Nowadays in order to make it worth while for such students to enter the general literary societies, they must be made to see that the work done all through the year is of a high character, is not perfunctory or routine in its nature, and that it can be made a positive advantage to them. To accomplish this, continual good work and constant application are required, and the old fashioned regulation Commencement "exhibition" is better done away with, as a useless excrescence. THE following letter has been received from Mr. C.M. Enns, who graduated from the Law Department here last year. Mr. Enns is a man of experience and scholarly attainments, and his good opinion gives us very great pleasure: KANSAS CITY, Mo. April 25th. Dear Sir:—Kindly change my address to C. M. Enns, in care Central Loan & Debenture Co., Kansas City, Mo. Let me congratulate you upon remarkable improvement in your paper since beginning of this school year. I like your moderation and tolerance. Yours truly, C. M. Enns. LAST Friday afternoon was quite an occasion for Lawrence. The laying of the corner stone of the new High school building was performed with Masonic ceremonies. Over 2,000 school children marched in line to the beat of numerous drums, and in their presence and that of a large assemblage of citizens the corner stone was laid. The University was represented by Regent Spangler who delivered the oration, and by Chancellor Snow, who gave a rousing splendid address. The building when completed will be the largest and finest High School building in the State, and will be used exclusively for High School purposes. When the Lawrence High School becomes fully established in its new quarters it will be made virtually a preparatory school for the University. At the last meeting of the board of Regents a resolution adopted by the faculty was unanimously ratified, recommending students coming here with back work to make up, to do so at the Lawrence High School. They can do this and at the same time take up their University work. It is proposed that this school shall be able to completely fit a student to enter the Freshman class in the University in any one of the collegiate courses. It will thus stand in the same relation to Kansas University that the Ann Arbor High School does to the University of Michigan. The step the city has taken in voting bonds for the building of this High School means much for the University. COLLEGE Life prints a sample of the various circulars which so many students receive in the spring, offering them work for the summer vacation. The firms which send these out can generally be relied upon to be unreliable. Several students here, including ourselves, have received letters from a Kansas City firm, similar to the one given below. They write in a confidential way, well calculated to catch the unwary student, who has a good deal of faith in the promises of the wicked world. As a general thing, the book agency business is neither a pleasant nor a profitable one, and we would advise students to steer clear of it. It is probable that a large number of K. S. U. students will find it necessary to work during the summer vacation, but the offers for book-canvassers, which are so often sent to students about this time, are seldom trustworthy. Below is the sample in College Life to which we referred. Dear Sir:—We are advised by one of your neighbors that you are looking for profitable occupation. In view of this, we make you a liberal business proposition, to sell "The Road to Heaven," which please read very carefully, and write us what you think of it. "The Road to Heaven" is the most remarkable Book ever written. It is a great Moral Educator, published expressly to meet the urgent need of every home. It is rich in Purity, Goodness, Nobility and Greatness, and strewn with abundance of Religion, Pathos, Humor, Philosophy and sweet Sentiment. It is bound in the most sumptuous manner, and the numerous and highly artistic illustrations are all on steel, for which we have paid the generous sum of $19,000. You can see at a glance that "The Road to Heaven" is having a tremendous sale. Where does it sell? Among your friends and neighbors, rich and poor, learned and unlearned, to farmers, mechanics, ministers, lawyers, merchants and students, in the smallest villages and largest cities, and wherever men and women live, who feel that they have souls to be saved and brains to be instructed. No man or woman can consistently refuse to buy a copy of "The Road to Heaven." Lev. Joaash Brown, Omaha, took five orders in the P. O. when the pros came. Rev. Stonewall Jack son (colored) Texas, took thirteen orders among his congregation, after services. Sold seven to one subscriber for presents for his children. Why does this book sell so fast? 1st It is not the mere promiscuous scissoring of an editor, but the honest brain work of a man of splendid genius. 2d "The Road to Heaven" is going to the Mission Stations in Africa, and we have just sent 400 copies to Anam, China. The Greek Missionaries in Siam, will also be supplied with the book. 3d. Copies have been sent to the Vatican for the approval of the Supreme Pontiff, and we are daily awaiting a favorable report from the Propoganda (sic.) Give it a trial. Your brains are your best capital. Use them. Don't be timid. We mean business, and as your neighbor said you would reply promptly, we shall expect your answer with order for outfit for "The Road to Heaven" immediately.
