Cable was delightful. The opera house was filled, and for about two hours the "culture" of Lawrence had the pleasure of listening to the clear, musical and pleasant voice of one of America's most pleasing authors. His rendition of the Cireole dialect was charming and the grace and ease with which the main features of the story of Dr. Sever were presented, captivated and held the audience to the end. It is not every day that western students have such opportunities offered as the lecture course of this year presents.
In 1879 80 Harvard Annex had 25 students, $3,725 were received in tuition fees, and $6,171 were paid out to instructors. In the school year 1888-89 the Annex recorded 115 students, received $15,400 as tuition, and paid salaries to instructors amounting to $14,-575. Hitherto but three colleges in the East have had annexes—Harrard, Cornell, and Columbia. The University of Pennsylvania, however, has just decided to add a college for women to its other departments. Yale and Princeton are considering the matter, and conservative old Baptist Brown has decided against the scheme. Still it is evident that the annex is surely coming to all our colleges. —Journal.

Phi Kappa Psi.
In Honor of Miss Allen.
The Phi Psi gave a reception and banquet last Saturday evening in honor of Prof. F. W. Blackmar. The first part of the evening was taken up by an initiation; the fortunate victim being Mr. Bryce Crawford of Salina. The fraternity then repaired to Wiedeman's, where a spread was served. Prof. Blackmar presiding. After justice had been done to the good things, an interesting talks on college and fraternity life was given by Prof. Blackmar, who was followed by Prof. Dunlap of K. S. U. and Prof. Wood of Baker University, a Phi Psi of Pennsylvania Beta chapter. Dr. Eatsery, Mr. Frank Webster and Regent Spangler also responded to the call for speeches, and Phi Psi enthusiasm was thoroughly roused. The supper over and the toasts finished the company dispersed. Such fraternity reunions stir up the feeling of fellowship and the spirit of fraternity enthusiasm. Prof. Blackmar, in whose honor the spread was given, has deeply impressed the boys of Kansas Alpha by his splendid character and high attainments. He is a man of whom his fraternity way well be proud, and is a valuable addition to the faculty of Kansas University.
Miss Mattie Snow left Thursday morning for Massachusetts, where she will spend the winter with relatives near Boston. She was compelled to leave the University a short time ago on account of having trouble with her eyes, and will not return until next year. Her scores of friends, including the class of '91 with which she would have graduated greatly regret her absence from the University this year.
Carnival of Nations.
One of the most elaborate social events of this season was the Carnival of Nations reception tendered by the ladies of Pi Beta Phi at Frazer hall Friday night. The rooms usually bleak and barren, were beautifully decorated and relied on the monotony by porters hung around the walls. Various Japanese odds and ends were placed about the room in artistic random making the hall a very elegant reception room. A very pretty idea conceived by the ladies as to give a nationality to every one of the thirty or forty charming hostesses for which she should dress, and assume thereby the characteristic of her allotted nation. The costumes were many of them elegant and expensive and all of them becoming; and the scene presented by the beaming faces and familiar figures, in strange and bewitching foreign garbs was startlingly beautiful. The supper served in the Eldridge house was a study in cuisine art which should admit mine host Conn in to the salon of public favor as a model caterer. After supper the music of the Riverside mandolin club furnished inspiration for dancing which lasted until after midnight.
We take the following excellent write up of the I. C. party last Friday evening from the Sunday Journal;
It is due the ladies to say that no more successful nor enjoyable reception has been given in Lawrence this season. The art of entertaining is not a lost one among the ladies of Pi Beta Phi and their social efforts are always marked by a degree of success that only cordiality of manner and womanly hospitality can command. They with the other ladies fraternities have more than anything else raised Lawrence society to its present high standard where it is the envy of all other cities in Kansas or the west, and Kansas Alpha Pi Beta Phi, by reason of its early (s ablishment in the University, commands respect wherever University men or women go. Such oceasions as Friday night are in a large degree responsible for this.

Miss Price Entertains.
Informal parties are often the most enjoyable and certainly this is applicable to a very pleasant and equally informal gathering at the home of Miss Gussie Price. Friday evening. Music and dancing filled the evening and the time for departing was viewed as reluctantly as the time for arriving was expectant, by the guests who were Misses Orton, Capman, Fullerton, Hawkins, Grabe, Blaker; Mrs. Fred Bowersock, Messrs. Fred, Bowersock, Morris, Hair, Henshaw, McPherson, Overton, Pickering, Robinson. — *Tribune*
