We are sorry to be compelled to be late in getting out this week. The only excuse we have to offer is the failure of our Local Editor, Mr. H.F. Roberts, to get up the copy for the local page.

This is a society item from the Echoes of Lane University:

YALE has refused a challenge from Cornell for three-mile eightoared race on the ground that hereafter Yale intends to row only with Harvard.
THE Harvard Quartette has been substituted in the lecture course instead of the Hon. Will Cumback. They will be here the 18th, of the present month.
It was hard work getting up copy this week and the KANSAN staff wished more than once that it was in the province of a college paper to give jokes about "McGinty" and "La Grippe."
PRESIDENT H. A. GOBIN of Baker University has resigned his position there to accept a position as Dean of the Theological Department of DePauw. Baker has prospered greatly under President Gobin's administration and it is a severe loss to the school to lose him.
THE Lance from the Kansas Weslyan University at Salina does not like the Kansas College papers. Well it may be that the college papers of Kansas are not what they should be, but if the Lance wishes to see them improved if should freshen up a little. It should know a little more about the papers of Kansas before, it passes a criticism. For instance the Exchange editor seems to be unaware that there is such a paper as the Review published in Kansas He seems to think there are only three weekly college papers in Kansas whereas there are four. By the way is it the policy of the Weslyan to conceal the faults of its students? We always were of that impression and our suspicion has been confirmed. The University papers are not run on policy and besides there is nothing to conceal. Though the Weslyan cannot do so the University can bear that the people of the state should have the most intimate knowledge of the affairs here. But that is accounted for by the much better class of students that are here than at the Weslyan.
PROF. DYCHE'S TRIP:
An Account of the Expedition in British America in the Interests of the University.
Prof. L. L. Dyche returned the 21st. of last month from his trip in the interest of the Natural History Department of the University. Prof.'s Dyche left here for his trip about the 1st, of last July. He had arranged to meet two hunters at Denver, but on arriving there, he found one of them could not go, but with the other he set out for Spokane Falls, Washington. He and the hunter parted company there and Dyche was thrown on his own resources.
The naturalist engaged horses and wagons and proceeded by road northwest to Loomis' Store, only a few miles south of the northern line of the United States. At a ranch about three miles from Loomis' trading post, Prof. Dyche established headquarters. He had with him two guides who had engaged to show him caribou, and also there accompanied him thus far two men on a fishing excursion.
From his headquarters Prof. Dyche made four distinct trips. The first trip was made in a northwesterly direction in a hunt for Rocky Mountain Sheep. Through rough mountain ways, up glacier worn gorges, and across sharp ridged ranges, the Professor and guides made their way. The trip was eminently successful, many of the wild sheep of the Rockies falling to their guns. Among these sheep is one of especial size; in faet, Prof. Dyche considers it not surpassed in size by any yet acquired by the museums of the country.'
The second pushing out was in a northeasterly direction, following up the Kettle river for a considerable distance. The trip was made for caribou, but none of these hardy Cervidae were found. Not many specimens were acquired in this outing, the party bringing back only a few deer. The third excursion was made directly west from headquarters, the hunters ranging along the boundary line. This trip was made with an eye single to the killing of Rocky Mountain Goats, a remarkable species of mountain-inhabiting animals with snowy white hair and small black horns, and black hoofs. These animals are very rare and gradually becoming extinct. Prof. Dyche was exceptionally successful in this trip, bringing to headquarters an excellent lot of specimens. These specimens are of great value and will give the University the means of acquiring other valuable skins in exchange for them.
The fourth and last trip was by odds the most exciting and the most productive of hardships, of all the outings. The trip was in a northeasterly direction from Loomis' Store. Prof. Dyche with two companions, started with horses up the Kettle river. After nearing the head of this stream, he came to a
vast stretch of country which had recently been swept by great forest fires. Not a blade of grass grow in the shadow of the dense black pine forests. The trees stood stark and bare, but for tite long and thick bunches of moss which hung like masses of felt from the branches of the pines. The horses had to be abandoned for the reason that there was no possibility of obtaining forage for them, and besides the country was so rough and precipitous that the animals could have made little progress. The caribou, for this was a second caribou trip, feed on this moss and can live in the fire-swept forests. Leaving the horses in charge of one of his companions Dyche and the third hunter with packs on their backs, went or waded through the forests and mountains for fifty miles. They had reached a point fully 300 miles north of the boundary line, and it began snowing. There were soon three feet of snow on the ground to delay their progress, and they halted. They saw no caribou, but discovered the fresh tracks of six of the animals. On November 26 they set out on their journey homeward. The fifty miles of snow, to be wholly traversed on foot, was a fearful journey, but, after enduring remarkable hardships, they reached the horses and their companion, and all three followed down the Kettle river to headquarters, where Prof. Dyche made immediate preparations to leave, and was four weeks making the return trip.
For the many thrilling incidents of the trip; for a detailed account of the spemens obtained; for any account of the habits of the animals so successfully hunted; or for any description of the wild region of country traversed and re-traversed by the plucky naturalist in his hunts, the scope of this article is too limited, but University students will undoubtedly have an opportunity to hear from the Professor's lips a detailed account of his expedition.
The University collections have been greatly increased by the trip, and the reputation of the institution as regards enterprise and the energetic prosecution of its avowed determination to possess the best natural history collections west of the National Museum, can not but be gacately enhanced by the successful issue of Prof. Dyche's expedition.
RAWSON BENNET, better known as Perley Bennet, is preparing a history of the attempt in 1886-87 to consolidate the Sigma Nu and Kappa Sigma fraternities. The history will not contain an account of his own adventures in becoming a fraternity member, nor how he was betrayed and had to accept a charter from Sigma Nu as a last resort.
ADELPHIAN: It is said that a few days before Thanksgiving, this fall, two Yale freshmen, feeling the suspense about the Yale-Princeton game to be too great, consulted a clairvoyant. Each paid a dollar like a little man, and after long delays the momentous answer finally came, "A great university will win!"
SUBSCRIBERS to the KANSAN are supposed to pay in advance. You must remember that it takes money to run a college paper, and that your fifty cents is just as valuable to us as anybody else fifty cents. The business managers would make the request that you see them as speedily as possible.
It is rumored that Prof. W. A. Quayle is to be appointed as President of Baker University to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of President Gobin.
W. A. WHITE has resigned his position as editor of the Tribune and has accepted a similar position on the ElDorado Republican. The best wishes of the KANSAN go with him.
In another column will be found a list of names of the Alumi of the University, whose whereabouts is unknown. Any one knowing where any of these persons are will confer a favor to the Alumni Association by furnishing Prof. Sterling with the information at once. The maternal being collected is to be used in the preperation of an Alumni Catalogue.
THE KANSAN does not assume the position of advisor of the students very often, but in consideration of the number of students that are suffering from "La Grippe," or a malady very much resembling that disease, it may not be out of the way to caution them against catch-in cold after they are apparently recovered from its effects, as it is this that generally prove serious in the attacks of this disease.
In the Oberlin Review we find the following quotation purporting to come from Prof. Mahaffy of Dublin Ireland:
When we of Europe hear that college students in the (United) States act as waiters in hotels; or drive around milk-carts, we naturally feel a shock which many arguments will not overcome, and we feel convinced that the great majority of such students will never make literary or scientific men, will never make high-class teachers, and will probably be withdrawn from the proper occupations in which they might have been really useful and competent citizens.
If the professor could see the poor boys of America that are making their own way through college and see those same boys ten years from now he would probably change his mind. Boys paying their own way are found among the best students of our American colleges, to-day as in the past, and the prominent place these poor boys have taken in our public life show very conclusively that the professor is mistaken in his opinion.

Andy Reed welcomes the boys back again, and when they need anything in the hair cutting or shaving line, he will be pleased to have them call around.
