I love the rose, I love the rose
So gentle meek, and fair
Ah! what a world of innocence
And truth are pictured there.
What being wrought its perfect form
So modest an demur;
Who gave the vareted tender blush
Or shaped the petals pure.
The sancy zephyr catches up
With mingled joy and pride,
The sweet perfume and quick the scent
Is scattered far and wide.
As incense from a censor or borne
The balmy ods are rise
And like a silent prayer ascend
A-toward the vaunted skin-
In stillest eve when nature sleeps,
And Luna guards the true
The blushing rose with modest grace
Soft woose the laughing due.
And when the sun lifts gently back
The curtains of the night,
The rose gleams argent in the rays
Of early morning light
The rose! the rose! how many joys
Its presence doth impart,
Tis like a bulm sent down from God
To cheer the ionely heart.
It forms the lov's choicest gift,
And with its fragrant breath
It cheers in sickness and in pain
And crowns the brow of death.
The smiling babe whose gullelees mind
No thought of evil knowe.
Is made to gain its first idea
Of beauty from the rose.
WHAT A GIRL THINKS.
"Bess" Gives Her Opinion on Various Topics.
What a crazy idea! This is a remark which attracted my attention one day last week, because directed to a girl of whose ideas I had entertained the highest opinion. Is it possible that a girl must be considered foolish because she evinces a taste for studies in the Natural History Department? Rather than that, it seems very strange to me that there have been so many girls take music and French, or art, instead of some of these other studies, and I think that if any one of us has an inclination, however, slight, toward Natural History, this inclination should be the guide power in the selection of studies. Is it not more profitable to spend our time in original work or personal investigation of the truths to be learned in the field of nature than to spend the same time in learning just enough music with which to entertain(?) company, or to evolve some creations in red, green and yellow, which may be shown to our admiring country relations, and evoke the question, "Bean't that one o' them 'ere Chromios?"
One of our fraternities is to give a party soon. This is a piece of of local news which might be hit upon by some reporter if he had his eyes about him. There are signs of a coming party as evident as the small boy playing marbles is a sign of spring. Here is a member of a fraternity who, for some reason, does not have the fortune, or misfortune, perhaps, of being always surrounded with a crowd of admirers. It is now whispered about that her frat, is to give a party in the near future and some few of the young gentlemen who do not consider themselves "solid" begin paying marked attention to her. Why do you attempt such a palpable fraud? Can not you imagine such a thing possible that we receive all the attention we want from you?
And if you would let us alone once we might feel inclined to invite you to our parties; but, no, you come in with your flattery and your fawning courtesies and so prevent us taking you in order to preserve our own feelings. Try letting us alone once and you may perhaps gain by it.
I saw a friend of mine walking down the hill with a young gentlemen who is being "extremely spiked" and attempting to influence him in favor of one fraternity, and I almost blushed for the lack of modesty. I call it this for I believe there is nothing done by any of us girls that is so entirely without our sphere as this rushing for any of the gentlemen's fraternities. The more sensible of the members of a fraternity do not want our help(ℓ); it is merely taking advantage of the politeness and gallantry which a gentleman always feels towards us, and if we so far violate the rules of good breeding ourselves, we ought not afterwards to expect other than similar treatment and we may be expected to take part in other just as unladylike things.
BESS.
THE Washburn Reporter is set up and printed in its own printing office. The Reporter is one of the best college papers published in the West and the KANSAN congratulates it on its success in getting an office of its own.
THE Iowa Wesleyan has just heard of the joke at the expense of Ex-Chancellor Lippincott on the occasion that he was sent to Atchison to attend Senator Ingalls' funeral, and remarks that the "instigator ought to have free tuition the rest of his course."
We hope to see a great advance in University and in class spirit this year. Already the Sophomores have organized; the Juniors hope to have a picnic or party, or something, before the snow flies, and all together there seems to be a revival of interest at last in something besides factional fights. We are glad of this. Let us all pull together this year to advance the interest s of K. S. U. Old students to whom last year seemed one long wrangle and struggle between opposing factions in the University, find this change quite a relief, and new students are not forced to spend their first year at college in witnessing the not very elitifying spectacle of fraternity and factional quarrels, disputed organizations and general neglect of work for petty college fights.
The first meeting of this society was held in Prof. Canfield's room in the University last Friday evening. Prof. Canfield gave a talk setting forth the aims and methods of the club and the manner in which it is intended to pursue the work. After Prof. Canfield had finished his talk Prof. Blackmar made a short speech to the members of the club and visitors present. Col. Greca also made a short speech and a paper on administration and Law was read by Fred. Kellegg.
SEMINARY OF HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL SCIENCE.
The society starts off under the most favorable circumstances and promises to be one of the popular University Societies. The next meeting will be held next Friday evening.
The Remains of Miss Tella Chapman Laid to Kest.
IN PEACE.
The last rites over the remains of Miss Tella Chapman were observed at the Congregational church last Saturday afternoon by Rev. C. G. Howland, pastor of the Unitarian church. Miss Chapman was universally loved and esteemed by all who knew her and there were many tearful eyes in the audience as Dr. Howland delivered the sad and touching discourse. The Senior class and her Fraternity, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Kappa KappaGamma, Pi Beta Phi and Phi Delta Theta Fraternities attended the funeral as a body. The pall bearers were members of the Senior class and were W. R. Armstrong, Chas. McFarland, R. R. Whitman, Fred Stimpson, J. A. Mushrush and S. C. Brewster.
We, the members of the class of '90, having by the death of Miss Tella Dow Chapman lost one of our brightest and most cherished classmates, therefore, be it
The remains were interred in Oak Hill cemetery and were accompanied to the grave by a large concourse of weeping friends.
Resolved. Feat while we wish to put upon record the sincere expression of our sorrow at the loss of our beloved classmate and friend. yet we feel a grief too deep and poignant to be expressed in formal and lengthy resolutions.
Resolved, That we take this simple means of extending our heartfelt sympathy to her bereaved parents in their time of affliction.
