The University of Michigan has enrolled 2,100 students this year. A Washburn student who recently attended church on communion Sunday mistook the communion for a festival. The Highland University Nunico is the name of a neat bi-weekly that made its appearance last week, from Highland University. SEVEN of the papers delivered at the State Sanitary Convention were given by K. S. U. men. The University is generally found at the head of the procession in such matters. The happy pleasantries and sparkling effusions of wit found on the local page this week are easily recognized as emenating from the pen of Herb Hadley. He has our thanks for the same. A sophomore handed us the following bit of doggerel the other day and requested that we suggest it as an appropriate class yell for the freshmen: Ho! Hi! He! Ninety-Three! We're N. G! The Baker Beacon calls Will White a smart aleek, because he put a notice of several Baker students in the Journal that did not meet their approval. We hope White will not lose muh sleep on account of the appellation. A MANDAMUS has been issued by the court compelling the reinstation of a student who was suspended for announcing in the Chattanooga papers that the publication of the Lookout would be resumed. It is hard work for some people to realize that free expression of opinion is not to be abridged, but it comes at last although it does sometimes come hard. A love-lorn couple at Des Moines College recently tired of single blessedness and quietly went to the young lady's home one evening and returned to school under the happy title of Mr. and Mrs. The faculty took objection, not so much, the claim, to the marriage as to the fact that they were not previously consulted. The blushing maid and devoted swain were forthwith suspended, presumably until they repent. —Pulse. That faculty would probably object to a fellow calling on his cousin and staying later than 10 p. m. ONE of the most noteworthy events in college athletic circles that has occurred for some time is the result of the Foot Ball contest last week between Yale and Princeton. The most sanguine supporters of Princeton had hardly hoped for anything better; than to play Yale a very close game and it was with a feeling of pleasure that they received Yale's defeat. While K. S. U. is too far from the two contesting colleges to take more than a passing interest, it is easy to see of how much importance this game and victory is to Princeton. Yale has held almost undisputed sway in the athletic field and had this game been decided in her favor it would have received little attention. However as it is the news of it is heard everywhere and for a while Princeton will occupy a much more prominent place than she has heretofore. It is generally conceded that a large number of Yale's students are attracted there by her reputation in athletics and the result of this game cannot but have its influence on the attendance of Princeton. The business manager of the KANSAN are in quest of delinquent subscribers. Please remember that it takes money to run a paper. THE colleges. of Missouri and Texas are agitating the question of a new oratorical association. Missouri is now a member of the Interstate association and should endeavor to maintain a standing in that association instead of trying to form a new association which could not but be inferior in rank to the one already existing. A place in the Inter-state association even if not a prominent position is more to be desired than a prominent place in an association of a secondary rank. PROF. MARSH has an article written from Paris in the Sunday Journal, which should give hope to persons who allow themselves to give credence to the statement of those scientists that assert that were it not for emigration the American people would become extinct, their theory being that the sudden climatic changes of America are so detrimental to the general health that no race would be hardy enough to perpetuate itself, were it not strengthened by an infusion of new blood. Prof. Marsh takes a more cheerful view of the matter and gives it as his opinion that the American climate with all of its variations is much more conducive to the health of her people, than is France with her damp, chilly atmosphere. He says that the children of America have a more robust and healthy appearance than the children of France. Prof. Marsh gives it as his opinion that the intellectual advancement of America is not up to the standard of Europe, yet; that an American scientist is never consulted; that a professor of a European college never considers it necessary to come to America in order to fully fit himself to teach; that a European physician never feels that study in America is necessary for proficiency in his art. Prof. Marsh thinks the cause of these facts is to be assigned to the youth of our Republic and gives it as his opinion that the day will come when America will take precedence, when American Literature, and American Science will be consulted by Europeans to the same degree that Americans now depend on European authority.

Sixth Annual Meeting of the Kansas Academy of Language, Literature and Art. The Kansas Academy of Language, Literature and Art held its Sixth annual session at Topeka on November 29th and 30th. The University was represented on the program by four members. Miss Simpson was ill and unable to present her paper on "Art life in France." Prof. A. G. Canfield introduced the discussion of Wordsworth. Prof. Wileo read a paper on "Certain Parallels between Homer and the Bible," and Prof. Dunlap spoke of "The study of Dialects in the United States." The other subjects discussed by the academy were "A plea for the study of language," by Principal Ryan of Leavenworth "A Floreatin in the time of Lorenzo de Medici," by Miss Lyman, of Washburn; "Pronunciation," by Dr. Ray, of Topeka. Woodworth, by Miss Carrie Morse, of Emporia, and Rev. C. M. Sheldon, of Topeka. "The Progress Semitic Studies, in America," by Prof. Phelps of Washburn, "The West in Literature," by C. M. Harger, of Abilene; and "Kansas Books of 1889, by Rev. J. W. D. Anderson of Elk City. Prof Arthur A. Marsh was the outgoing president and sent a vigorous address on "Some Public Aspects of High Education in Germany." The officers for the coming year are President, Rev. E. C. Ray, of Topeka; vice-president, G. G. Ryan, of Leavenworth; Secretary, Miss Ida Ahlborn, Baldwin: Treasurer, O. S. Davis, Topeka; Chairman of the executive committee, A. M. Wilcox, State University. The Academy set their subjects for special report, next year: Billiography of Kansas books; Dialects in Kansas; Kansas Libraries. The Academy hopes to interest all its members and others who are not yet its members, in these lines of work, and that there will be made during the year really solid contributions to our knowledge in these directions. Each branch of work is under the charge of a director, to whom all inquiries about methods of work, etc., should be addressed. Mr. O. S. Davis, of Topeka will have charge of the topic "Libraries" Rev. J. W. D Andetson will direct the study of Kansas Bibliography, while the dialect work was put into the hands of Prof. Carruth, who has just been named Secretaly for Kansas of the American Dialect Society. The next meeting will be held in Topeka during the Thanksgiving recess in 1890.
