THE Fraternities of Illinois Weslyan are contemplating issuing the Oracle, the Annual of that institution, this year.
A COMMUNICATION in the Annex, in regard to the National Educational Association places an "Hon" before Prof. Canfield's name.
Each year there is a considerable surplus remaining from the receipts of the local contest. This has been divided out heretofore among the stockholder-rs of the association. The amount that each one receives is of course necessarily small and does not amount to much to the stockholders one way or another. Now while the present athletic movement is on foot, why would it not be a good way to encourage it for the members of the Oratorical Association to give the net proceeds from the contest this year to the Athletic Association? It would only be a small amount to each member but the total amount would be a very material addition to the funds of the Athletic Association. It is to be hoped the members of the Oratorical Association will consider this proposition favorably and thus help along the movement towards establishing the athletic grounds.
WOOSTER COLLEGE and Ohio Wesleyan University have each brought forth a plagiarist this year. Plagiarism seems to be a favorite past time in Ohio.

PROF. SNOW read a paper on the "Chinch Bug" before the Farmers' Association at Wichita Tuesday. The University is the only college of the state that was represented at this meeting.
DURING the past year, Johns Hopkins University has received donations amounting to over $400,-
000. $100,000 has recently been donated by Miss Caroline Donovan to endow a chair of English.
It is proposed to hold an international congress of teachers during the World's Fair in 1892. Such a gathering could not but be of great benefit to American teachers in securing to them the recognition from abroad that is due them.
Colleg traternities are prohibited in Princeton, Oberlin, Monmouth, and the University of Illinois.— Wesleyan Lance.
The students of Nebraska are taking much interest in the election for the prohibitory amendment soon to be voted on in that state. It is hardly necessary to say that they all favor the amendment. College students are always found on the side of enlightenment and progress.
And if the past counts for anything fraternities will not be prohibited at those places much longer.
It shows very bad taste to say the least for persons to get up and leave church when the services are about half through, and we hope the young gentlemen who have been guilty of this practice will turn over a new leaf and either stay until church is out or stay at home. —Beacon
And this from Baker that makes such boasts of the good behavior of her students.
IN this issue of the KANSAN we present our readers a brief account of the various departments of the University. This will more especially interest persons away from here but there will be found much in the various accounts of the departments that will interest those who are students here, for the University has assumed such proportions that it is impossible to keep acquainted with the work of the departments beside the one that one is connected.
We received this week a copy of the Transactions of the twentieth and twenty-first meetings of the Kansas Academy of Science. The book is substantially bound and contains many valuable papers and reports on questions of interest to Science. The names of the members of the Faculty of the University are prominent throughout the book, there being papers by Profs. F.H. Snow, E.H.S.Bailey,L.I. Blake.L.E.Sayre and W.S. Franklin,most of them having several papers or reports.
THE local contests were held last Friday evening both at Washburn and Baker. At the former the contest was won by S. W. Naylor. His oration was entitled "The Puritan and Cavalier." At the latter E. Y. Hil was the successful contestant, his oration being entitled "Philosophy of Social Amelioration." Both of these gentlemen are good speakers and it behooves our orators to look well to their laurels if K. S. U. is to be successful this year. The other colleges have an advantage over us by having their contest earlier than we do and it will be only by a vigorous effort that we may expect to be successful.
THERE are perhaps few places were the relations between the students and the people of the city are as pleasant as they are in Lawrence. In most of our exchanges when we see any thing on the subject at all, it is in complaint of the manner in which the students are received. The general complaint is that he students are denied admittance to the society of the city in which the college may be located. How different is the case here. There is no social gathering at which the student is not welcome. Instead of considering it as a favor to the students, to admit him, to their homes, the people of Lawrence always esteem the students' presence there and an invitation to any University gathering is always highly esteemed by Lawrence society. No better class of people can be found anywhere than in Lawrence and it is a rare privilege to be permitted to attend a University situated in cultured and Christian community and where so much int rest is taken in the welfare of the student. Lawrence considers the University as her charge and her people nobly to their duty towards the students, and the people of Lawrence are never forgotten by one who has once been a student in the University.
THE Pacific Pharos goes Edward Bellamy one better and puts a man to sleep and does not awaken him until Bellamy's plan has been put in operation and proved a failure and though the production of a college student, it must be said it uses much better logic than the famous "Looking Backward."
The Clay Centre Dispatch came to us this week with the name of Bion S. Hutchins at the head of its columns. Bion is one of the well known sons of K. S. U. and one of the rising newspaper men of the State and the Dispatch will undoubtedly have a brigh career under his management.
The De Pauw *Adz* complains of the treatment of De Pauw University by her rivals in the State of Indiana. The eminence that De Pauw has won seems to be viewed with envious eyes by the less successful institutions and the *Adz* says that "unable to compete with her in the open arena, they seek satisfaction in 'throwing dirt' at her fairly won laurels. They magnify mole-hills into mountains and strain their imaginations in other ways, but all to no purpose." We can heartily sympathize with the *Adz*, for the distinction and popularity that Kansas University enjoys among the people of the state of Kansas has been "as a thorn in the side" of some of the smaller colleges of the state and they being afraid to stand on their merits and admit of a comparison, seek to injure the University by abuse which is the favorite argument of those supporting a bad cause. That there are other colleges in the state worthy of consideration, we do not attempt to assert. That there are other colleges in the state that can offer the same or equal inducements to students that K. S. U. is able to, we deny. The position of the University among the colleges of Kansas and we might add among the schools of the west is undisputed a d we admit of few rivals. In fact in the fields where we meet other colleges of the state, Oratory and Athletics, there is really only one college, (Washburn)* that presunes to be a rival of K. S. U.
A START has at last been made towards securing good grounds for our athletic associations. That the students are interested in this movement was evinced in the meeting last Friday, an account of which is given on another page. Every student should take it upon himself to help this along. Give those that have taken the matter in hand all the encouragement you can. What we can expect to secure from outside sources will be regulated by the interest that is shown in it here at the University. Persons away from here should be interested in the movement and their co-operation secured. When we are at home pains should be taken that as much as possible should be told about the University and about the need of a gymnasium and by the time the legislature
meets again an appropriation may be secured. It is not for sport alone that a gymnasium and athletic grounds are wanted. It would be much better for the health and welfare of the students. It has been demonstrated that in a school has a good athletic provisions the health and scholarship of that school is better than that of a school with poor athletic privileges. It has also been shown that in the same school the scholarship of those that are not. It is certainly worth the while of every student to put forth his every effort to secure better facilities for athletics.
