Charles Malville Dewey, of New York Since completing her course she has devoted herself largely to teaching, but has found time to do considerable work in her studio. Miss Simpson devotes her energy and talent to works in oil. She has studied under two or three New York artists of established reputation, and, during a year spent in Europe, sat under the instruction of Benjamin Constant at Paris for the greater part of one season. While giving her time to her classes, she still finds spare moments to put on her own canvases. The work of both of these ladies finds favor, and they have pictures in many Kansas homes. The courses in this department cover three and four years, beginning with the simplest drawing and progressing through still life to figure drawing from the model, landscape and composition. The students have sketching trips and club rights, and occasional lectures are given. The library and reading room is open to them, and they find there several of the leading art periodicals of the world. But the personal direct influence of the instructors is the greatest advantage that is offered. As long as this is right, there is present the main essential of an art school.
LAW SCHOOL.
Jas, W. Green, M. Summerfield, Willis J. Gleed,

The Law School opens up this year with an enrollment of 859-eight members a very satisfactory increase over former years. It universally appears to be gaining in popularity as its advantages become known throughout the state. It is now considered that the best place to obtain a law education is in some one of the law schools which have been established for this purpose. Proseeing over Chily & Blackstone in some dingy law office is relegated to the part. Some knowledge of principles may be gained in this manner but the application thereof, never. In order that the mind shall become sharp and active it must come in contact with other minds. The incentive to exertion is greater. Discussion establishes principles and fixes them in the memory. These advantages the student obtains in a law school. They very surely do not in a law office. The method of instruction in this school tends to draw the student out, to ascertain if he has discovered and is able to apply the principles applicable to the question under discussion. To this end discussion in the class room between teacher and student is invited and encouraged. That this method is beneficial is proven by the very marked degree of success attained by the graduates of this school.
The Junior class are now studying domestic relations, are endeavoring to master the common law relations of husband and wife having already taken up constitutional law and the law of contracts under the direction of Mr. Green. The Seniors having finished pleadings under the instruction of Mr. Summerfield, are now wrestling with the law governing real property with Mr. Gleed, in addition to their law studies. The students of this school of law are allowed to take one study in some one of the other schools. A number of the students of each class are taking political economy with Prof. Blackmar and next term propose taking a course in Roman law to be followed by a course in the Constitutional history of England with the same instructor. Others will study international law and history of the constitution with Prof. Canfield. Two moot courts are held each week. one for the Junior and one for the Senior class and are presided over by Mr. Green. Cases are given out upon an equal statement of facts which members of the class previously appointed are required to discuss from the flow of eloquence which at times comes floating out through the transom all judge these courts are entertaining if not instructive. Two of the Seniors are required to preside over the Junior courts with Mr. Green, and at the next sitting of the court to deliver a written opinion upon the case argued before them. We have not had the benefit of these opinions, but they are said to rival those of Lord Holt and Chief Justice Marshall.
and that the jurors sit in open mouthed wonder at the profundity and learning of these able jurists.
In addition to the Moot Court, the students of this school have two clubs—the Kent and Blackstone—at which various questions, legal and political, are discussed. The Kent Club has organized a "house of representatives," with a full complement of officers, at which bills are introduced and laws enacted. These clubs are managed by the students, and they appear to have their earnest support
A large addition has been made to the law library this year, and the students of this school now have a good library for practical work, and the students are well satisfied with the provisions made for them in this direction.
All in all the school is doing good work, is a credit to the University, and deserves a more liberal recognition at the hands of the State than it has heretofore received.
LIBRARY.
The University Library contains 11,926 volumes, not counting unbound pamphlets. It is now growing constantly and substantially, the funds at present at its disposal being sufficient to permit it to secure the more important new works as they appear, and to make some considerable progress in strengthening its general collection. Since the end of the last College year over seventeen hundred volumes have been added. It is thoroughly a working library, having been selected with a particular view to the needs of University students, who are required to use it constantly to supplement the work of the lecture room. It contains a very good collection of the works of the important authors of Greek, Latin, English, French and German literatures, and of those standard works that represent the most authoritative contributions to the various fields of knowledge. It has in its reading room the current numbers of two hundred periiodicals and several publications, both of a general literary and technical scientific character, and has begun to complete its sets of the most valuable of them. Thus it has now complete sets of Anglia, Englishle Studien, Herrig's Archie, and the publications of the Early English Text Society, the most important collection of materials in existence for the knowledge of the history of English language and literature.
The reading room, to which all students of the University have free access between 8 a. m. and 6 p. m. on all working days of the University year, is further provided with the most useful books of reference, such as dictionaries, maps, atlases, encyclopedias, catalogues of other libraries, etc. A card-catalogue of the library by subjects is also under way, and, so far as completed, is in the reading room for the use of students.
All students are allowed to withdraw volumes from the library for use at their rooms. Members of the upper classes and those pursuing special lines of research under the direction of some member of the Faculty, are given access to the stocks where the books are kept.

The University Y. M. C. A.
On Sunday afternoon October 22, 1882, L. M. Powell, F. H. Clarke, M.W. Sterling, J.P.Jack, W.T. Findley, W.Y.Morgan, E.L Cowdrick, E.G.Clarke, J.F. Tucker, J.D.MLaren, F.C Clarke, F.W.Houston and E.F Caldwell, students of Kansas State University, met in the chapel of the Lawrence Methodist Episcopal church and organized a young Men's Christian Association for the University of Kansas. The following officers were elected: F.H. Clarke, president; M.W.Sterling, VicePresident; J.D.MLaren, Secretary; Corresponding Secretary, W.T.Findley; Treasurer, E.L.Cowdrick. This was the first Y.M.C.A organization in the city. At the close of each school year since that time, new officers have been elected to fill these positions.
From 1882 to 1888 the Association held its meetings part of the time in some one of the churches and the rest of the time in a hall rented for the purpose. At the beginning of the fall term of 1888, the University being lighted on every Friday evening, the place of meeting was changed from the rooms of the city association to room 11 in the main building of the University when on every Friday evening during the school year devotional meetings are held. The socials and receptions are held at the city Y.M.C.A. rooms.
The University Y. M. C. A. has never been in a more flourishing condition. There are at present sixty-five active members. The Association sent twenty-five delegates to the State Convention held at Topeka in October.
On Nov. 10 '89 Bishop Cyrus D. Foss delivered the annual address before University Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A, in the University chapel which was filled to its utmost capacity.
The Friday evenings meetings are well attended and great interest is taken in the work by the members. President Ackley is prompt in showing the various committees the work which has to be accomplished. One of the main objects of the Y.M.C. A of the University is to become acquainted with the new students as soon as possible and aid them in procuring pleasant rooms and boarding places. A committee is appointed especially for this purpose at the beginning of the school year, but any inquiries directed to the President or Secretary at any time during the year will be cheerfully answered.
Don't forget that it is at the "Blue Mortar" drug store that Celluloid Mirrors, Brushes and Combs can be purchased not in plush cases. Their fine line of Hair Brushes can not be bettered in the city The perfumes in bulk are exquisite and lasting. The most popular odors always in stock and not musty and stale.

Young Women's Christian Association.
The Young Women's Christian Association of Kansas State University was organized November 6, 1885 with thirty-five charters members. Since then we have held weekly gospel meetings. For the past year these meetings have been held on Friday evening at the University. Besides this we have in connection with the Association a Bible class meeting weekly. We hold a reception, for new students, in connection with the Young Men's Christian Association, at the beginning of each college year. This year we held a special reception, at the home of one of the members, inviting all the girls of the University. Our work has brought into a closer band of sympathy the girls who are engaged in the Masters work and some through our efforts; have been led to Christ.
Our aim is to help and encourage those who come among us as Christians and bring into our number those who know not our Saviour.
The Athletic Association.
In accordance with a plan proposed by some of the more enthusiastic supporters of athletics, all professors dismissed their classes at 12:30 last Friday, with the announcement that a grand mass meeting of all the students would be held in the chapel at that time, for the purpose of creating some systematic central organization and management of the athletic sports in general.
At the appointed hour, there was gathered in the chapel the largest body of University students that has ever been together here for a similar object. Prof. Snow took the opportunity to make some an-ouncements pertaining to the selection of studies, vacation, railroad rates, etc.
The business of the meeting was begun by the selection of M. E. Hickey as temporary chairman. Mr. Hickey appointed W. E. Curry secretary pro tem and called upon Prof. A, G. Canfield to state the object of the meeting. In response, Prof. Canfield stated that the need of united interest in general athletic sports was being more and more strongly felt; that the main trouble heretofore had been the loose and fitful way in which all work in this direction had been carried on; each special branch having organized and maintained its own society or organization, and taking no great interest in any other.
A combination of all these associations into one would greatly increase the efficiency and success of all work in this direction. A plan being already on foot for the establishment of grounds for our field sports, and the hearty co-operation of the students enlisted in the enterprise it was thought that the Board of Regents Alumni, etc., being shown that something substantial was to be accomplished might thus be induced to add their support. A committee
was appointed to draw up a plan of the association and to prepare a constitution. While the committee was absent F. H. Kellogg briefly stated the plan of organization which had been formulated and deemed most feasible and best suited to our present needs. As a member of the University Ball committee, he made a report stating the amount of the expenses and the receipts, giving the net gain. He stated that once before a University Ball had been attempted but had been a failure, and the success of this venture evinces the interest that is being taken by the students in the present movement. He also mentioned other methods for raising money, as University theatricals, entertainments, admission to games and contests, contributions by the Alumni, etc. Prof. Sterling as President of the Alumni Association followed by remarks expressive of the support to be relied on from the Alumni. Prof. Curruth spoke of the attitude of the Regents, mentioning a conversation with Vice-Chancellor Spangler and Mr. Billings, giving clear evidence of their interest and earnest co-operation.
The committee on constitution announcing themselves ready to report, Chairman R. R. Whitman presented the result of their work and the constitution was adopted as read.
The officers provided for in the constitution were elected as follows: Prof. W. H. Carruth, President; F. H. Kellogg, Secretary; Chas. Voorhis, Treasurer; Prof. A. G. Canfield, Mr. Max Winkler, and R. R. Whitman, Directors. After the selection of these officers by the general association, the members specially interested in Tennis, Base Ball, Foot Ball selected two directors respectively, being G. F. Sherman and Miss Laura Lockwood, D. E. Esterly, M.E. Hickey, W. R. Armstrong and C. S. Hall to join with the president, secretary, treasurer and the first three directors elected all constituting the executive board having general supervision and control of every thing pertaining to athletics in K. S. U.
