The sad eyed editor of the Courier having discovered a typographical error in the exchange column of our last issue, immediately proceeds to give vent to the vile part of his nature by foistering two columns of his odious stuff on his suffering readers.

The gentleman also seems to have ascertained that several clippings appeared without the accustomed "Ex." whereupon the idea of stealing-a thought, always uppermost in that gentlman's mind, floated through the deceased intellect and found shape in a direct accusation. Now we do not question the ability of the gentlman to use the word, appropriately, for experience has taught him its full significance; but we should have thought that a conscious shame would have forced him to use any other word in the dictionary. Remember your past record and then give us advice on morality.
A short biography of each member of the departing Senior class has been crowned out of this issue of the Times. For a synopsis of the same we refer you to the Courier.
THE WEEK.
A succession of society entertainments,
addresses by eminent men, and Com-
mencement exercises of the Phar-
macy, Law and Collegiate
Classes.
OROPHILIAN—ATHENEUM.
The program rendered by Orophilian last Friday evening and that presented by members of the Athenaeum literary society on the following evening were flattering testimonials of the character of the work done in those societies the past year. When we consider the fact that Athenaeum has been established but two years and that Orophilian at the age of twenty two has just sustained a severe shock while passing through the period of her "teens" and is just cutting her wisdom teeth, the programs rendered are indicative of a bright future for both of the societies. The alumni from the good old days of Oread and Orophilian, who may have heard these programs, were doubtless somewhat surprised, for it must be admitted that throughout they did not equal the records of the past.
Notwithstanding some of the speakers showed a lack of experience and training, yet no one can recall much better efforts than were made by Messrs. H. F. M. Bear and C. P. Chapman as orators; Messrs. Hall and Hadley as debaters or Miss Florence Reasoner as an essayist.
Taken in their entirety the programs as presented showed much thought, pains and literary research, and the success of these societies is assured.
BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS.
The Baccalaureate sermon was preached last Sunday evening in University Chapel by Rev. Dr. Tuttle of Baltimore. One of the largest audiences of Commencement week greeted the speaker and listened to the words of spiritual advice given to the graduating class. The text was very appropriately taken and the whole sermon was as the Doctor had announced, a plain talk to the graduating classes. Dr. Tuttle showed how essential it is that those leaving the University and going out to take part in the battle of life, possessed as they are of culture and education, should also possess that spiritual life and culture which is the foundation of character, and the source of all true success and great achievements. Dr. Tuttle's address was one of the ablest and most instructive that has been delivered at the University for a numbea of years, and it left a deep effect for good not only upon the Seniors, for whose benefit it was given, but also upon all who were fortunate enough to hear it.
Like the Pharmacists the Laws were at their best on last Tuesday morning. They rendered by far the best program that has ever honored that department. Although long, the exercises were listened to with the closest attention and all were impressed with the eloquence, sound argument and fine appearance of those participating. This Department has surely made great advancement in the ment in the past few years, and the class which it sends forth this year to administer justice in our State is a credit to the Department and an honor to the University. The exercises

were, without doubt, among the best of the week.
CLASS DAY.
The efforts of the Senior class have at last been rewarded. A large audience greeted their Grator, Mr. S. A. Harvey, and Prof. J. H. Canfield who had been invited to deliver the address. The four collegiate classes had marched to their allotted places in chapel in a very orderly manner, and all listened most attentively to the addresses of the day. Lack of space alone forbids that we give an outline of both. Prof. Canfield's good sound advice and his eloquent plea for truth, morality, and conciliousness in all things great and small, when considered as presaging the advance of another Senior Class into life's conflicts, were most fitting.
After a song by the entire Senior Class and a salute to the chapel, the entire assemblage adjourned to the campus. Here was enacted a drama both novel and crude. The Seniors might be seen at one time headed by the drum corps, parading the grounds followed by all their dignity, and again their wild war-whoops of Rock-Chalk-Jay-Hack-Argent-or '89 and numerous cheers as they marched to the salute of each building, may have led some of the crowd which followed them to believe that they were yet unregenerated barbarians instead of noble Seniors now so wise. But the Seniors did not make all the noise for as they went on their rounds they were greeted by the other collegiate classes stationed at the various buildings. Cheer upon cheer was mingled with the pleasant, witty and often touching addresses of welcome and farewell tendered by Chancellor Lippincott at the main building, Prof. Snow at Snow Hall, and Prof. Bailey at the Chemistry building. After all this, still there was "more to follow" for then come the "drinking to healths" in the "quadrangle." The only objection we heard urged to this was that the Seniors did all the drinking. They the class tree—surely such an enterprising class at that of '89 could not dispense with that and a young catalpa, with all due ceremony, was planted in a conspicuous place on the campus. This act closed the exercises of the day and all seemed well satisfied that the future success of a class to which the honor of inaugurating such interesting exercises belongs was not to be questioned.
Certainly some parts of the ceremony may be improved upon, but considering the fact that this was the first attempt to celebrate Class Day in this manner, the whole affair cannot but be regarded as a success.
FACULTY JUNIOR RECEPTION.
Following out the custom established by the class of '88, the Seniors had made ample arrangements for entertaining the Faculty and Juniors in the art room and the lecture rooms adjoining. If we may gain any inference from the hearty manner in which Prof. Wilcox in behalf of the Faculty, and Harvey Bear in behalf of the Juniors, responded to Miss Kate Merrill's call for toasts, we should say that this part of the day's program was much enjoyed and formed a fitting close of one of the most pleasant Class Day's in the History of K. S. U.
PHARMACY DAY.
The anniversary of the Department of Pharmacy was held in University Hall on Monday, June 3d. The alumni association of that Department held an annual meeting in the afternoon and a banquet was given in the evening.
The morning exercises consisted of addresses from the Senior class as follows: Salutatory, by Robert Parker; Schools of Pharmacy, by E. W. Morris; Class History, by Denton Hogeboom; Pill Speech, by Alfred T. Webb and Junior response by E. S. Bessey. In addition there were addresses by Hon. F. A. Faxon, of Kansas City, and Dr. Robert S. Drake, Beloit, President of the State Board of Pharmacy. The parts were interspersed with selections by the Addie Jewell Orchestra, of Topeka.
In the afternoon at the alumni meeting papers were read and questions were discussed relating to the profession, officers elected, etc.,
There were about sixty persons present at the banquet in the evening, Mr. B. W. Woodward, who acted as Toast Master, in his happy, sparkling style, kept the guests in a lively mood by the humorous manner in which he introduced the toasts and called on the speakers. The toasts were as follows:
The Coming Botanist, Prof. Snow; The Alumni, F. L. Abbey; The Newly Fledged' L. W. Snepp; Graduates in General vs. Graduates in General, Prof. Sayre; Quod Medicamente vis emere, Prof. Robinson; Adeeu to Faculty, Dr. Brown; A Kansas Phar macist, Dr. Moore.
A Sad Farewell
Another day and much of the beauty and chivalry of the "Historic City" will have decamped. There will have been the parting "good bye;" the "be sure and write to me" expression with all its attendant tremulousness and longing, there will have been the hoarse and unwelcome grating of the car wheels as the train leaves the station, the last lingering glance, the swift ride home, the happy greeting, and then the momentous questions "What shall I do to be saved?" this summer. Fourteen long weeks stretch our like a blank before the eyes of many. Some will go to the mountains and will there revel in that "Rocky" region of rare atmosphere and stubborn burrows. They will drink in the delicious coolness of mountain air; they will camp out on the brink of some awful precipice; will sit on a cracker box and cook eggs on an electric jack, will grow tanned and tawny, will fill their lungs with Indian whoops and their minds with pale ghost stories, and will come back next fall ready to flood the Review with an overwhelming account of hair breadth escapes, midnight vigils, grizzly bear reminiscences (clipped from some back woods magazine) and will tire in telling of the "delightful gorgeous" times and the "perfectly lovely scenery.
There are a few however, who will not go to the mountains, but will do the resuscitation act at home. These few constitute the majority. Of these few, some will make up back studies and do an unparalleled amount of reading; some will help mother in the "culinary" department and grow
proficient in the preparation of knickknacks and jim-jams; some will sprain their ankles at tennis or base ball; some will engage in business at their respective homes, and others will probably do something else. But there is one cool calculating specimen of humanity to which we would especially ask you to direct your attention. Its figure is clean and gaunt; there is a hungry, wavering expression about its countenance, it has much speculation in its eye; it goes about from house to house with something under its arm; it advances cautiously towards each domicile, taps gently on the door, is very polite and glides over the threshold with the fortitude of Hamlets ghost, its tongue is of platinum coated with silver, and can be drawn out to a great length. It has a great affinity for weather topics and dead relations and can entertain you delightfully for two hours, while the baby in the next room is trilling its morning lay, and the fire is going out in the cook stove. This specimen of humanity is commonly known as a book agent. He is to be found among the students and will be working his rounds this summer. Please be kind to him. You may say what you please about the book agent, but there are no flies on him—unless unfortunately there is an inside hook on the screen door.
We who intend summering in Lawrence, bid all ye outsiders a fond farewell. May prosperity attend you all in your undertakings, and may Lawrence be enlivened with your presence again next fall. This last statement will not exclude you from stopping off at any time during the summer. Lawrence, with all her greenness—of trees and vegetation; Lawrence, with her tennis courts and picnic parks, bids you a fond ta-ta. We trust three months will recruit your shattered health and convalesce your pocket books.
Department of Chemistry.
In this department during the past year many advances have been made, while the work of the classes remain about as last year. The added facilities have given better opportunities for extended instruction. For the illustration of lectures new apparatus has been provided. Particular attention has been directed to the complete equipment of a laboratory for sugar analysis, in accordance with the increased demand for sugar chemists; consequent on the growth of the sorghum sugar industry of this state.
For the first time the Senior Class in Pharmacy had instructions in graiometric and volumetric analysis. The nickled, the simpler process of analysis such as the determination of Iron, copper, zinc, soda, silver etc.
Pharmacy has instructions in geometric and volometric analysis. The nickled, the simpler process of analysis such as the determination of Iron, copper, zinc, soda, silver etc. On account of a better division of labor, it has been possible to assist the student more in their laboratory work, and to keep the rooms in a much mere attractive condition. The cabinet of one has been received from the main building, and set up in the essay room in the basement. Two other cases have been fitted out with minerals and with specimens, illustrating industrial chemistry. A large order has been sent to Europe, and with the opening of next year a variety of new apparatus and a number of rare chemicals will be at the disposal of the department.
