The pledge season is over at last, and the feminine portion of the University breathe easier. The "pledge" has been so obviously and so repliedly violated this year, in spirit at least, if not literally, that we doubt if it will be continued another year. This seems to be the sentiment of many of the young ladies themselves.
Orophilians gathered last Friday evening in their hall, but the lecturer having asked a postponement till another week, no regular meeting was held, but the members "fooled around" while as one of the studentssaid, and then went home. Atheneum held no meeting we understand. The contest seems to occupy all the attention of the members, and the regular meetings suffer in consequence.
Prof. Blackmar's bureau of newspaper study is developing into quite a useful and important department. Files of newspaper articles are kept in a patient file, under classified readings. These clippings are made by the students every week. All the papers taken in the library are carefully gone over, and as a large number of influential organs from all parts of the Union are taken by the University, a very complete record of newspaper literature on current topics in Sociology and Political Science is obtainable.
The Seminary had a rather smaller attendance last Friday afternoon than it deserved. Several members who were on the program failed to turn up. There is so little literary society work done here by upper classmen that when it comes to work in the special societies they ought not to shirk. Mental laziness is as bad as any other kind. Some people can dance all night, but when it comes to doing a little extra University work they "cave in." The Seminary will not meet again, until January, and it was a pity the members did not brace up and make the last meeting of this fall a better one.
The Kent Club found an organization of a House of Representative Friday night. Mr. Feller presented the views of the Democratic party in a speech of twenty-five minutes, which was replete with good things, well said, and nominated Mr. Rogers for speaker. W. A. Foster followed with a speech for the Republican side of the house and nominated Mr. Mermian. Mr. Gettys finished the program by expounding the views of the prohibitionist, and placed in nomination Mr. Wallace. The house adjourned until the first Friday after holidays, when the speaker will be elected. This is an enthusiastic body, and will doubtless be a strong one before the end of tae school year.
Among the articles received from Germany by the Chemical Department this week were, a Davy's Safety Lamp, apparatus for determining vapor density, water baths, drying baths, dessicators, evaporating dishes, beakers wash-bottles, flasks, etc., in large quantities. Also from the firm Schuchardt of Gerility, Germany, a large invoice of chemicles, including quite a number of rare organs, chemicals and salts of rare metals, also some very rare metals as Osmium, Palladium, Uraium and Silicon. Considerable more both of Apparatus and Chemicals are expected next week. Thus continual additions are made to the department.
Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity will have a party at Miss Sydney Dailey's this evening. A grand and enjoyable time will undoubtedly be had.
Saturday afternoon the ladies of Pi Beta Phi met at the home of Miss Agnes Love and were entertained by a very interesting talk by Prof. A. G. Canfield on "Literature and Reading." The professor began by remarking that he and the faculty were surprised to find so little knowledge of general literature among the students. He said he had made a list of the books taken most frequently from the library and gave the titles of some of them. He spoke at some length of poetry and the poets and the influence of their work. The ladies have made these talks by faculty members a very pleasant feature of their work and have profited largely thereby.
Friday evening the ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma gave a reception in Frazer's Hall. The bleak and barn-like hall had been fitted and decorated with excellent taste and effect, and looked charming especially in spots. Near the entrance, rugs, chairs, easels, pictures, and parlor bric-a-brac had been arranged so as to make a pretty reception corner, and here the ladies of the fraternity greeted their numerous guests. The grand march did not cease until the company had found themselves in the Eldridge dining room, where proprietor Conn had prepared an elaborate menu. Dancing began at 10:30 and continued till late. The Mandolin club furnished acceptable music. The ladies of the fraternity are to be congratulated upon the success of the affair and have added to their long list of happy entertainings. Those present were Prof. and Mrs. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Bowersock, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Bowersock, Misses Overton, Kansas City Kas, Miss Bayless, Kansas City Kas, Maude Florer, Indian Territory; Grace Rector, Topeka; Myrtle Moore, Topeca Kate Hewins, Kansas City; Effle Scott Marcella Howland, Lena Beard, Heeler Weber, May Webster, Josie Hutchings Hattie McCague, Mame Monroc, Mauntisdale, Milia Crotty, Belle Roberts Amy Hayes, Paola; Ila Williams, Cora Kimball, Jeanie Edwards, Jessie McBride, Naid Maxwell, Etta Hadley Manie Johnston, Waterville; Gussie Price, Nell Franklin, Maude Springer Nina Taggart, Donnie Bowersock, Laura O'Bryon, May Hair, Laura Lockwood Nell Morris, Jean Fullerton, Rose Nelson, Annie McKinnon, Inez Taggart Profs.

Death of Waier Britton.
The following we clip from the Lawrence of Journal December 11. The deceased, Walter Britton, was a graduate of the University and a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. His chapter and his many other friends deplore his boss.
The many friends and acquaintances of Walter H. Britton in this city, and in Kansas generally, will be deeply pained to learn that death has claimed him at the threshold of what all who knew him expected would be a brilliant career. Hon. C. C. Baker, state printer, received a letter from J. S. Weaver, superintendent of mails at Fort Worth, on Sunday, enclosing the clipping from the Fort Scott, Kansas, Monitor, which follows:
"Died—Britton—At San Antonio, Tex,
Tuesday, December 3, 1889, of consumption,
Walter H. Britton, in the twenty-
fourth year of his age.
"The deceased was a son of Dr. J. B. Britton, deceased, who was an honored and highly esteemed resident of Mapleton, this county. Walter attended the Normal college in this city and afterward graduated at the State University, at Lawrence, before he reached his nineteenth year. He went into the employ of the Santa Fe general ticket office and afterwards became connected with the Topela Commonwealth in the capacity of assistant managing editor. When the Capital consolidated he want to Florida for his health, and last spring returned and accepted a position on the St. Loui Republic and afterwards with the Globe-Demoerat. Four weeks ago he was confined in Santa Rosa infirmary, where he went by advice of his physician, and where he died. —Capital."
