THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER.

THE KANSAN was forced to come out on Friday of last week instead of Wednesday as we would have desired. This was necessitated by the fact that the faculty did not decide on the vacation question until last Tuesday and consequently we were unable to have our material ready to issue the paper on Wednesday. If any have failed to receive their last week's KANSAN they will please report that fact to the business managers, and they will be provided for.
The lecture course which has been conducted this year by the Phi Psis, has proved a success, financially and every other way. In old times we used to have a regular University course of lectures, free to the students. Unfortunately, the University just at present needs all its money for regular expenses, and consequently the free lectures have been given up this year. There have been numerous lectures in the different clubs and societies, but no regular systematic course. The Phi Psi fraternity with a view to filling the want, and with an eye to financial profit at the sametime undertook the somewhat risky responsibility of carrying out a University course. Tickets for the course of five lectures were sold at $2.00 each, making the cost of hearing each lecturer but forty cents. These tickets more over entitled the holders to a first choice of seats from the parquette, thus making the cost of each ticket low enough for all, when the high character of the course is taken into consideration. Robert McIntyre, Geo. W. Cable, The Harvard Quartette, Bill Nye and George Kennan, comprised the course. The course has been eminently satisfactory, and the Phi Psis have netted a neat little sum

EVERYONE seems to have enjoyed the vacation. Many of the students we noticed did not go home, but devoted their time to study in the library. There are also many who fully intended to get in some heavy strokes of work during the brief days of intermission, but for whom the prospect of leisure proved too attractive a bait. If you don't believe it ask several of Juniors about the forensics they were going to write during the vacation and see the disappointed and pained look that will over spread their features.
If you want to see something go over to the Museum of Natural History now. Prof. Dyche has his "crag" all fixed up with his eight mountain goats clambering around over it in the most lifelike fashion imaginable. On the other side of the room he is going to build another precipice on which he will mount his mountain sheep, or bighorn, of which he killed quite a number while on his trip to British America. Many people fail to distinguish between mountain sheep and mountain goats, thinking them simply two different names for the same animal. A greater mistake could not be made. The mountain goat has long, snowy white wool, short black horns—and in fact looks like a goat. The mountain sheep or big horn, is about the size of an antelope, often much larger however, and is of a dull grayish color with short hair like a deer, and enormous horns which are ribbed and curve back after the manner of ram's horns, often giving the animal a top-heavy appearance. Both these animals are rare, and both are found in the same regions of the Rocky Mountains. Both are now represented in our museum by groups of magnificent specimens. Prof. Dyche has also a large number of other specimens which will soon be mounted, and when all are finished the museum will have the appearance of a traveling menagerie. Seventy-two different kinds of animals and birds form the sum total of the Professor's "plunder," brought from British America to be placed in the museum. Prof Dyche says he is going again this year and hunt for moose, caribou and other large game which he was unsuccessful in obtaining on his last trip.
Students will attempt sometimes to take work in classes ahead of that in which they are ranked. Usually this is unwise, for it produces irregularity and takes time which might be spent better in general reading. We understand the policy of the authorities here is to permit such reaching forward only in cases where it can be done without the least interference with the proper work of the student. Regular work first, then society work and reading, and finally, but rarely, advanced studies.—College Life.

It is stated that Regents will call Professor Snow to the Chancellorship of the University. If this is done, we hope that he will accept for the sake of the welfare of the University. It is certain that for K. S. U. to go on another year without a head, will injure it with the people, will diminish the number of students, and will render the legislature more untractable. Professor Snow is popular throughout the State, and in the University. He the warm friend of the students, and has been with Kansas University since its foundation, so that he is familiar with all its needs and requirements. Prof. Snow is by sentiment and sympathy a western man and a Kansas man, although born and educated in the east. As President of the Faculty this year he has shown his ability to manage and direct the affairs of the University. He is a specialist in natural science, and his election to the Chancellorship would necessarily remove him from his classes in his chosen department. Being a man however of broad and cultivated mind, this fact of his being a professor, especially devoted to natural history, does not unfit him for the executive work of the University, as has been amply demonstrated this year. His election will do much to allay this perpetual newspaper meddling, which must hurt the University if it is kept up much longer. Professor Snow is a man dear to the students, honored and respected through the State, popular with all classes, and an untiring worker in whatever contributes to the welfare and up-building of the University. Let the Regents elect him and we will welcome him by acclamation. Long live Professor Snow
At Lawrence I visited the University, and wish especially to return thanks to Professor Snow, of Snow Hall, for a delightful hour among his fossil batrachians and giant straddle bugs. He has a good collection of Kansas people who flourished at an early date and who made footprints in the sands of time which have been handed down to posterity in the limestone of our day. He has the lower jaw of a mammoth, with blue porcelain teeth which for many years stood in the middle of a small stream, so that when the water was low the boys used to stand on this monster's chin and fish, little knowing what a treasure it would be to the savant and the scholar in future years. One day a sportsman stopped to spit on his bait, and glancing down at the huge stone decided that it was a bone. He got help to roll it over, and lo! it was the maxillary works of a great, coarse beast that could eat a hardware store like a dish oat meal and use the raging main for a finger bowl.—Bill Nye.
