HER WAS HAIR SHORT MY TIS Such snapping eyes, alive with fun! Their brightness quite my young heart won. A figure trim, a dainty hand Around her neck a velvet band Of richest black. By this 'twas done. For on it, glancing in the sun, My Grecian pin resplendent shone. And add to this, you understand, Her hair was short! 'Twas school time then. But now 'tis none Of that. I married her. Undone Am I. Her eyes still snap. Withstand Her I cannot. Her each command Compels as once. What reasons? One. My hair is short!
TO PASS THE TIME AWAY.
Is What Bess Says Many Students Come to K. S. U.
For.
During my walks about the halls of K. S. U. for the purpose of seeing what strange things and persons we have among us I have met at every turn one of the tribe whose name is Legion, which is found solely in schools, and, more particularly, colleges. I speak now of those students who are here because sent, or for the purpose of passing away, in a pleasant manner, a year or two of their life which would otherwise hang very heavily on their hands. For whatever reason they may come here, they may be known by the extremely aimless way in which they drift and stumble along. Of this class a large number are girls. This was all the more surprising to me for I had supposed that one of that very small class of girls who get farther than a high-school, were certainly ambitious and deserving of great credit for their ambition. In contrast to this amazingly small number is the crowd of girls (and boys too, but it is of the girls that I speak now more particularly) who attend a college or University merely because they happen to live in the town in which the school is situated. I see, in our halls, a large number of girls who are here for the mere purpose of passing away the time, and who desire to keep up the appearance, at least, of improving themselves. I often ask myself, how many girls are there now in K. S. U. who are pursuing their line of work with any definite end in view, with the idea of putting to use in the future, what they are now working upon. Of course, an education is to be desired for itself, and improves everyone, but I venture the assertion that not one of this class have ever thought of that. This is clearly shown by their attitude toward their work as shown daily in the class-room. It is this girl who does a little work in order that she may not be compelled to leave and that she may not have her pride, what little she has left, varying with the time she has been pursuing this course, wounded by a number of successive failures. Even the slight exertion necessary to enable her to keep her place would be very irksome to her where it not for the fun she has with the thoers of her crowd and with young
men, perhaps, and very often, in the same position as herself. I should say that two-thirds of the girls and about one-half of the young men here are more or less imbued with this spirit. As to the young men I am not so sure, there may be more or less, but of the girls I can speak with a good deal of certainty, as I speak from personal knowledge. I know of several girls who started to school this year in a hesitating and uncertain way, not knowing whether to enter or not, discussing the question with one urging upon them the benefits to be derived, in an unimportant and careless manner and finally coming to the University particularly because most of "the girls" did and because they had nothing else to do. Can you imagine anything in the way of result from this sort of spirit? Others have started with the very praiseworthy intention of going through the University and graduating. But the method of consoling herself for a failure in the classroom with a little longer time spent in the hall with "the boys" or the thought of what a nice time she would have in a few evenings at the party has played sad havoc with all her good intentions. These same boys who furnish the consolation should rather be at home than here joking with the girls and making light of their failures, for they are the male members of the same class. It is I think partly due to their influence that some of our girls have dropped into this already large class. If girls and boys, I call them so rather than young men and ladies, must exert such an influence upon each other, they should be separated, during their school life at least, and co-education must, under these circumstances, be a condition of things to be regretted.

Orophitian.
A good attendance was at Orophil ian last Friday evening to listen to the talk by Prof. Carruth on Har vard University. Concerning Har vard Prof.Carruth said:
"There is a distinction between the terms Harvard University and College; it being, that the term University is applied to the whole institution, including the various colleges, such as the college of medicine, law, art, etc. The undergraduate work is done mainly in the colleges. As a rule students are sent to the college but those coming to the University come for definite purposes, all being hard workers. The opinion so often expressed, that Harvard men are conceited, was contradicted. That which appears as conceit arises from the fact that at Harvard, the most that can be done for a man in any line of study, is done. Every opportunity is afforded for the deepest research in any subject, hence when a graduate goes out into the world, he is confident that he is fitted for his work, and confidence is taken for conceit. The post-graduate work done at Harvard is considered as being equal to that of any college in the United States. The work done at Johns Hopkins is as good, with the exception of three or four branches of study. From a financial standpoint it is better to graduate from Harvard than from Johns Hopkins, as Harvard has between eight and ten thousand graduates, always ready to help a Harvard man to succeed, while Johns Hopkins has but one or two hundred graduates of the same for the men from that college. Yale's postgraduate course is considered uniform to Harvard's in every respect. Harvard excels all colleges in work done in general literature, especially in Latin, Greek, English and German. Harvard is the best place for a student to go who wishes to become a teacher, or work in literature. If an article is dated from Cambridge the chances are ten to one of its being received to print than if dated from any other city. The teachers at Harvard are the very best in the country, including such men as Norton, Childs and White, who are famous in their respective branches. Harvard has the best library of any college in the world, 360,000 volumes and as many pamphlets being accessible to the students; and including the books in the great Boston library, over one million volumes are accessible. The library is the most valuable thing at Harvard. Harvard expends $25,000 yearly for its library. K. S. U. expends more, though, than Harvard did twenty-five years ago. The students at our University compare very favorably with the Harvard students, being more earnest and having a higher aim in life, as a rule." After the lecture a very interesting program was given. The question: Resolved, That the education of the negro is the only way of solving the southern question, was debated by W. W. Brown and R. R. Whitman in the affirmative, and D. R. Krrehbiel and E. L. Ackley in the
R. R. Whitman was re-elected president of the society and James Baker and W. E. Curry were elected vice-president and treasurer.

A Real Irish Play.
Since the day Mayor Grant let the green flag fly from the City Hall Tower there's been nothing seen here quite so Irish as was the play produced at the Windsor Theatre last evening. The title of this dramatic hibernicism is "The Dear Deaf Irish Boy," which is certainly Erinnie enough to tickle the car of the most patriotic lover of the old sod that ever twirled a shillalah.
The principal roles were taken by a company of very earnest performers, among whom we noticed the familiar names of such footlight favorites as Dan McCarthy and little Harry O'Lynn, whose part of "Little Tootsey" was a cross between Little Lord Fauntleroy and Charley Fresh, and Mr. Gus Reynolds, an actor of great ability, and his impersonation of the low villain, McClutchey, was all that could be desired.
The plot of "The Dear Irish Boy" will be sufficiently understood when it is related that a lordly Irish villain falls in love with a beautiful heroine, who in turn loves the Dear Irish Boy. Given these characters, together with a proud and haughty father, a stolen letter and a scene of the Giant's Cave by moonlight, and it will be evident that you have all the ingredients of a highly popular drama. And when in addition to all these potent points of success you have bagpipes, dances, songs in which the speedy libertion of Ireland from England's tyrannic yoke is confidentially predicted, 'its plain that an auditor must be fastidious indeed if he fails to find therein enough and to spare for an evening's entertainment.'—New York Herald, Tuesday, June 11, 1889. Will appear at Bowersock's Opera House Monday, Nov. 4. Reserved seats at Crew's.
