THE State Normal, the College of Emporia, and the Emporia High School have closed on account of "La Gripe."

PAPERS are being circulated in the interest of the Athletic Association. When presented to you, do not fail to do your duty and subscribe al. that you are able to.
COLLEGE LIFE is the name of a new weekly paper started at the College of Emporia. It is the third atempt to start a paper by the students of the college.
CORNELL'S new library building will be the finest in America. It will have an auditorium with seating capacity for 1,000 people; the reading room is 120 feet long,72 feet wide, and 38 feet high. There will be room for 409,000 volumes.
THE College Echoes from Lane University speaks of the "La Gripe," in the same issue that it boasts of the thoroughness and extent of the curriculum at Lane. It is very evident that the instruction in French is sadly neglected there.
THE winning oration in the local contest at Ohio Wesleyan is entitled "Puritan and Cavalier." The winning oration in the local contest at Washburn is entitled "Puritan and Cavalier."—Index.
The winning oration at the Ohio Weslyan is claimed to be a plagiarism. We wonder how far the coincidence continues with the oration at Washburn.
THE faculty of Johns Hopkins University noes not want a college paper. The following is a ruling lately made to forestall the efforts to start a college paper:
"That it is not desirable that any publication be issued by the students of this university without the consent of the Board of Trustees, and that the publication of any newspaper by any person or persons connected with the university is forbidden."
It is claimed that State University has set aside its preparatory course. But it has a "sub freshman" year. Will someone please explain the difference between the two terms "preparatory" and "sub-freshman?—Echoes.
The value and necessity of Barb Associations is felt at other places than Wesleyan. May the one at De Pauw grow to the same proportions and power as the one here.
- Elite Journal.
THE organized "Barb" Association has rented and nicely furnished a room over Piercy's drug store as a place to hold their meetings. -Adz.
It is not claimed that the State University has no preparatory department, but after next year there will be no preparatory, department nor a sub-freshman year, as it is called.
The only trouble with these societies is that as soon as a good man is found among their numbers, he is immediately, taken in by some fraternity to the discomfiture of the said Barb associations.
A Plain Statement of the Facts About the Selection of a Chancellor.
Does the State University have a chaplain? If it does, why does he not pray the Lord to give the board of regents backbone enough to select a chancellor? The present, shipshod method of running our leading institution of learning is a disgrace. Abilene Selector.
This is only a sample of what appears every day or two in some of the papers of the state. It only goes to show how much more easily outsiders, who have no responsibility in the matter, can perform an important and delicate task than those who are charged with its performance. Selecting a chanceiller for the State University is not like nominating a county officer in a county caucus, where "anybody" will do, and a change can be made in a year or two if the selection be unfortunate. In the first place a man must be found who will fill the bill; then he must be induced to accept the job at the salary named by the legislature, $3,000. The first part of the job is the easier. In fact, we know that at least one man was selected before the present term opened, but they failed on the second proposition. A half dozen others have had informal offers of the position, but they have all declined. As a matter of fact the regents are acting with great good sense in delaying action till they get the right man, if it takes two years. Fortunately they have no Democratic governor to boss the jobs, and offer the positions to Tom, Dick or Harry, and finally allow a political crony to name him. The university was never in its history so prosperous, so well attended or better managed than during the present year. The faculty is presided over by Prof. Snow, in an exceedingly satisfactory and able manner; while the business affairs of the institution are in the hands of Regent W. C. Spangler, for many years its able secretary, who knows more about its affairs than any man living, and whose management is nill that could be desired. After this year, the board will have larger appropriations at their command, and may apportion the money as they see fit. They can then pay enough to get the sort of man Kansas wants, and must have, if she keeps him at the head of her chief educational institution. — Clay Centre Dispatch.
The above written by Bion Hutchins is an able exposition of the reason why no Chancellor has been selected for the University and we can only reiterate the statement that as long as the affairs, of the University are conducted as well as they are being by Prof. Snow and Regent Spangler, there is no need of any haste in the selection of a Chancellor.
Now is the time to push the efforts for athletic grounds to completion. Don't let your interest and enthusiasm lag. We should be already to go to work on them in the spring.
THE Topeka Capital of yesterday contains an article by an Eastern man on the University. It touches incidentally on the question of selecting a Chancellor.

The New Catalogue. The catalogue for 1890 is now out and presents a highly gratifying condition of the affairs of the University. Probably one of the most gratifying features of the new catalogue is the enrollmont, which is larger than ever before, notwithstanding the fact that it does not contain the enrollment of the second term which has heretofore been contained in the catalogue for the year. The enrollment in the catalogue is is 508. However this is less than the actual enrollment now, there being enrolled too late for insertion in the catalogue, nineteen, making the total enrollment 527. With the enrollment of the next term this number will probably be swelled to nearly, if not 600. One of the gratifying points of the increase in the enrollment is the material increase in the collegiate department. This number is much larger than that of the preceding years. On the other hand all will be pleased to note that the number of preparatory students is much smaller than ever before.
With the prospective abolition of the preparatory department, has come a change for the better in the High Schools of the state, the number prepared to admit their students of the freshman class without examination being much larger than that of last year. Of the first-class of accredited High Schools, those whose courses fully prepare their graduates for admission to the Fresman class, there are nineteen named in the catalogue against four of last year. Of the second class, those schools whose courses fall short of preparing for any one of the regular courses by not more than the amount of three term's work in any one subject, there are thirty-seven against thirty-one of last year, making the total number of schools admitting graduates, fifty-six against thirty-five of last year.
A provision for special students is also found in this year's catalogue. Persons of mature years and character who desire for reasons satisfactory to the Chancellor or Faculty to pursue some special line of study without becoming candidates for a degree, are allowed to enter as special students Such students must file with the Secretary of the University, prior to entering classes, a statement of the work which they desire to pursue, with the reasons for such choice; and a written statement from the instructor under whom work is to be carried, that the student is prepared to undertake the work specify. No entrance examinations are required of such special students further than may be necessary to satisfy the instructors under whom the studies may be taken. With the advice and consent of the Faculty, special students may carry other studies than that in which they are specializing, provided such studies are closely connected with their special work and necessary to it.
Special students are subject to the same regulations with regard to
the amount of work performed, and and attendance, at recitations and examinations, but not as to the number of studies to be pursued. The Chancellor or the Faculty may at any time deprive any special student of his privileges if it appear that he is abusing or neglecting them.
There is a slight increase in the number of the faculty, it now numbering thirty-three and when a Chancellor shall be elected, thirty-four. The names of the faculty appear in the catalogue, with the name of the institution, in which they took their degree, immediately after them and this list of itself very creditable. Though there are a few from small colleges, the majority have received their degree from the leading universities. Four of our professors received their degrees from Williams; one from Rochester; two from Harvard one from Illinois Wesleyan; one from Cincinnati and New York; one from Yale; one from Berlin, Germany; one from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music; one from Johns Hopkins; one from the Cincinnati School of Art; one from Cornell; one from Princeton; and eight from the University of Kansas. This is an excellent showing and can be rivaled by few colleges or Universities especially west of the Atlantic states. The proportion of the small institutions is very small, as compared with most colleges.
The descriptive portion of the catalogue is much the same as that of the previous years though there are numerous evidences of the prosperity of the University.
Society at Lecompton. (College Echoes.)
Can not some one introduce a few new games in our social parties?
"Ruth and Jacob," "Fruit Basket," "Brother I'm Bobbed," "Scissors," "Wink'em," and nearly all the rest are worn thread bare and are too stale to afford profitable pastime.
"Charade" seems to be the only one capable of standing the test of frequent repetition. Bring forward your new games and thereby institute a much needed revolution in social amusements.
