In the beginning of the present school year one of our law students proposed, let us bury the Kent Club with all the tenderness we are capable of, and then join the Orophilian or the Athenaeum, two literary societies of the University. This sounded very seditious, and a strong class spirit assured the existence of Kent Club for another year.
Now at the end of the year it certainly is very appropriate to look back and to consider if we really have been benefited by a continuation of the club. It must be considered even by the warmest friends of the club, that all our meetings, with the exception of a few interesting moot court nights, have been most miserable failures. Our exercise, as a rule, showed very little preparation, and the few good speeches that were made were listened to by a family circle of 5 to 10 members. It was a sick, languishing creature, this club; frequent elections and two new constitutions were necessary to prevent it from subsiding into innocuous desuetude.
We may censure our law students for lack of interest, if we wish, but that would not remedy the matter, besides it is well known that the great majority of students in our department are earnest and studious young men, who have laid aside childish things and who are willing to support any movement that will aid them in their studies and give them an opportunity to improve.
The Kent Club, as now constituted and managed, does not seem to be adapted to the needs of the law department. As a purely literary society it has never commanded audiences large enough to furnish an incentive to ambitious young speakers to do their best, and moreover the very generality of the subjects discussed, makes the exercises quite insipid and uninteresting. The same experience has been made by the literary societies of Collegiate department; they, too, have languished for want of definite work, and for want of an audience. But these may be revised again and made to have a useful purpose in the University, if the department of English and of Elocution would only extend to them that fostering care to which they by right are entitled. But there certainly exists no reason in the world why the Kent Club should be continued as aliterary society of the law department. Many law students undoubtedly will next year take studies in the other departments, as tuition has been abolished, and it ought not to be difficult for them to join the students of those departments in their general literary efforts.
But shall we discontinue our own Kent Club on that account? Certainly not! There remains a noble mission for a law organization in the University. The suggestion made by Mr. Workman that we confine the exercises of the club to legal and political matters only, certainly deserves our careful attention. The Science Club, the Political Science Club, and the Philological Club follow definite lines of inquiry, and they all meet with success. They have definite subjects to speak about, their work is intimately connected with the curriculum of their respective departments
and the members feel that they cannot afford to stay away from the meetings.
Now let the Kent Club once become in fact a society of earnest young lawyers, whereby a wise division of labor the whole field of legal knowledge is rummaged, all the proceedings of legislative bodies are carefully reported, and the law reporters and law journals made to yield a full, rich harvest, then certainly no lack of interest would imperil its existence.
The Science Club subscribes to a large number of scientific magazines and numbers among its members 304 professors. On the shelves of the library you find numerous philological treatises, and the meetings of the Philological Club are attended by at least 5 professors.
The Kent Club of the future should have access to all the best law reporters and law journals of this continent, and a few European periodicals would do no harm. Moreover our law professors should take active part in the work of the club; for their efforts are needed to give to the University of Kansas a Law Club that can compare favorably with its sister clubs in the other departments, a Law Club which will ornament their own department and reflect honor on our growing institution of learning.
Kappa Alpha Theta.
Last Friday evening was the occasion of the most delightful social events of the school year. The occasion was the Annual Commencement Reception, given by the young ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta.
Since the establishment of this fraternity in the University the Annual Commencement Reception has been a marked feature in the social life of the University. Many of the Alumni from different parts of the state were present; they, together with the friends and invited guests of the fraternity presented a gay and fashionable throng. The hall was beautifully and artistically decorated and nothing was wanting to make the surroundings as pleasing to the eye as possible. The supper, which was prepared by the young, ladies consisted of everything the season afforded and was highly relished by all present. After supper dancing was engaged in until a late hour while those who were unable to dance, whiled away the happy hours in conversation and social amusement. Altogether it was an occasion that will be remembered with delight, a scene that will be recalled with pleasure by all who witnessed it. Those present were:
Mr. and Mrs. Henley, Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Field, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Webster, Mr. and Mrs. Herb Beaty, Prof. and Mrs. MacDonald, Dr. and Mrs. Lippincott, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Lewis, Mrs. D. C. Haskell, Mrs. W. L. Bullene.

Graduating Recital.
In spite of unfavorable atmospheric condition a fair audience assembled to listen to the graduating recital of Mr. John C. Manning. Mr. Manning has long been known to the students of the University and the people of the city as a student of remarkable ability. He graduates from the department of Music with a record of which he himself may be proud and for which Prof. MacDonald deserves congratulations.
Mr. Manning was assisted in his recital by Miss Josephine Hutchings who rendered her selections in her most happy manner. Mr. Manning appeared at his best and elicited much applause for his unusually happy rendition of the beautiful Classical Compositions. Mr. Manning is the fourth graduate of the department. He will complete his musical education in the Boston Conservatory of Music. Mr. Manning has made many friends during his residence in Lawrence as a student, and will bear away with him their best wishes for success in his new field of musical endeavor. Mr. Manning was the recipient of a unique floral design from Phi Delta Theta, and an elegant souvenir from the Theory class, of which he was a member.

STILL he ranteth; the Courier man as if in the last agonies, gatherer all the vile epithes of his command and in a two column harangue, proveth to his readers,—not already convinced,—that our exchange editor cut a deep dash with his little scissors. In another column our "Clipper" has invalidated his testimony by a gentle reminder of the character of the witness. We always wish to give thanks for free advertisements and this done we will pass as undeserving of notice, all accusations save the single one which to the unknowing ones, might have the semblance of
truth. We were charged with having clipped the report of the Science Club from the Tribune without due credit. A few facts may explain. Mr. E. E. Slosson has for the past year reported the doing of the Science Club for the Times. In this instance, as is often the case with other papers, substantially the same report was given both to the Times and the Tribune. Now suppose a correspondent for the Kansas City Times and the Chicago Tribune sends the same report to both papers and it happens to appear first in the Tribune, is the Times obliged to come out the next morning and credit its report, from its own correspondent, to the Tribune? Manifestly not. See?

A student tremblingly recites to a professor, who blushes under a rebuke from a State Senator, who is humiliatingly denied an audience by a president who is later driven from his official position into private life by the sovereign will of a people. Thus the round of life. Greatness is only relative, and further is dependent upon the standard of measurement. If this standard be innocence and purity, all must "become as little children." If it be physical development, contrast the bronzed and sturdy savage around with his warclub, with the sallow complexioned, delicate Europeon, with pencil* and tablet in hand.
Only Relative.
If moral and not physical courage be the measuring rod to be applied, the Napoleon and Caesar of history must give place to the thousands of silent men and women who live and lie, it may be unknown, but suffering crucial tests of moral courage.
But even with this last, which seems to be the true criterion by which to judge men, how the differences disappear when viewed from the standpoint of infinity. How the mountains disappear in the plains and we are made to feel there is not so much difference between men after all.
If it be money or the social or political position bought thereby, the classification will be far different from that founded upon intellectual attainment.
