WE have twenty-eight seniors.
THE Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter at Illinois Wesleyan University initiated eight ladies Thanksgiving.
We call attention to the main feature of the Baker Index. The cover is very interesting and instructive, Eli?
In the December number of the Century is an article entitled "The Nature and Method of Revelation" which to a student is very instructive and interesting. It places the Bible in a light in which we are not often accustomed to view it, and gives to Christian religion a character which we are inclined to over look. ___
Go to Andy Reed for a shave and hair cut.
THERE has recently been placed in the library The Inter Collegian, a monthly, under the management of and for the interest of the College Y. M. C. A. Associations. The matter and work of the associations are, in it, treated in a very instructive manner, and the field covered is especially broad.
DENISON UNIVERSITY at Granville, Ohio, has recently chosen a new President to take charge of affairs of January. He is spoken of by the collegian of that University as of "the substantial New England stock," and from his connection with different institutions we should judge that he has had sufficient experience to be proficient in his line.
In the last Earlhamite is an article entitled "what a Summer costs in Germany," from which we will copy one of the concluding paragraphs: "A company of three or more boys could land at Hamburg, tarry a week; visit in turn Harz Mountains, Berlin, Dresden, Weimer, Eisenach, and Gottingen, and r turn for school in September refreshed, happy, almost educated, in comfort on $225 each, from Richmond (Ind) back to Richmond again."

Public Opinion
H. D. Tucker
The contestants are quite well known by the greater part of K. S. U. students a.ad the impression is that the orations will be of a high standard. It will be a courtesy for as many University students as can to attend.
SURPRISE has often been expressed by members of other colleges throughout the State, that they should find Professors attending the K. S. U. parties and hops. This is a fact upon which the University students should congratulate themselves. How much pleasanter it is to feel that we are receiving the permission and sanction of our faculty in trying to give to our school life a few pleasant hours, than it would be if we were compelled to use our inventive and imaginative genius in finding excuses and opportunities to endulge in those few hours of recreation.
The Exchange editor of The Hesperian of the University of Nebraska, (we are explicit that readers may know where it maintains its existence), in a very knowing and "God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are," manner, picks to pieces the exchanges, probably all, that come to his little table. Now it goes against our conscience to criticize our brothers but when we see a thing of this kind we cannot but feel that somebody has not got beyond the Sophomoric state of trying to beieve that there is only one side to this life and that a dark one.
THE Elite Journal is publishing short sketches of Alumi members each weak, taking up classes in order.. They are probably interesting to the Alumi itself and may some day be valuable for reference.
In the last issue of The Baker Beacon under the head of "Baldwin Needs" are ennumerated twenty-four things. Any person slightly acquainted with circumstances will fully agree with the Beacon, and perhaps if requested, would willingly add more to the list.
We do not know the Faculty's reasons for not letting the Rt. Hon. John P. St. John pour forth an harangue in the University chapel, but for various and sundry reasons it seems to us the proper action. There is very little in the addresses ot worn out and dissatisfied politiions that is of an instructive or elevating nature.
It is with feeling of regret that we learn that the pledge the ladies fraternities, prohibiting rushing and spiking during the first three months of the year, has been disregarded to a considerable extent. During the year that it was sirtly kept it proved a remarkable help to both new and old students, saving time for both allowing parties and allowing them to become thoroughly acquainted with each other. Even this year it has been a benefit and we hope that efforts will be made to renew it upon a firm basis. Of course we do not know who is to blame for the breach this year, but that a breach has been made is a fact to be deplored. It is a matter of honor with the fraternities and all individual members should so guard their actions as not to reflect upon that honor. We again urge that the pledge be renewed. To admit that the effort of our University young ladies to make a reform of such an important nature has proven a failure would come very hard. Such an admission is not consistant with our idea of the firm and energetic character of the young ladies in question.
THERE has recently come to our notice the Journal of the Knights of Labor, the official paper of the Knights of Labor, published in Philadelphia. The general tenor of this paper is extremely disgusting to any true citizen. It is of a nature that will excite the dissatisfied and vicious side of the character of the laboring class, especially foreigners, and leaves out altogether what should be the true principle of any publication that goes before the public; the elevation of mankind. The paper however contains considerable matter that is of interest to a student, as for example, an account of speeches made by the delegates of the Georgia Farmers Alliance before the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, an article entitled "Pauper labor in the South" and the report of their committee on the investigation of labor troubles in Pennsylvania, besides considerable general labor news.

We hope the Railroad companies will show their usual kindness in offering reduced rates to the students for their trip home to spend the Holidays. Our vacation will begin December 20th and last until January 6th, and if the time of the reduction co-incides with those dates the kindness to the students will be enhanced.
