The Music Department at the University.
issouri

e.
The music department is in quite a flourishing condition, the number of students enrolled for the year being between seventy-five and eighty. At the last meeting of the board of Regents it was decided to do away with the contingent fees of all the departments, including Prof. McDonald's department. By this means the poorest student in this Staie can obtain the best instruction in harmony, theory and music generally, free of charge. The board also decided that some general examinations would be necessary for admittance to this department, but these examinations are not, as is generally understood, those required for admittance into the Freshman class.
As music is free to Kansas students, these examinations are given so as not to overtax the facilities of the department.
Mr. J. C. Manning, who graduates this year, will make the fourth graduate from this department. His graduating recital will be given on May 28th, and he will be assisted by Miss Hutchings of this city.
The musical department of the University has made rapid strides in advancement since Prof. McDonald has been connected with the University, both in the advantages offered and in the introduction of improved methods of instruction. The number of students has increased from the first five or six to almost a hundred, and the indications are that this number will be almost doubled the coming school year. The number does not comprise, as before, mainly residents of Lawrence, but the superior advantages offered are attracting students here from all parts of the State. Tribune.
Hon. Joel Moody of Linn county, who spent yesterday in the city, is one of the regents of the State University. That institution is just now without a chancellor, and the regents are engaged in the consideration of the matter of selecting a suitable man to take charge of this great institution. While Senator Moody was unable to talk for publication, we were impressed from the views that he expressed that the University is in safe hands. The regents are all in accord upon the one important point that the people of Kansas must have a University worthy of the State. They fully realize that a strong man of the best attainments having unquestionable executive ability, is required at the head of the University. All true friends of the University should give these regents their confidence and support, and leave them to the performance of the duty with which they stand charged.—Pt. Scott Monitor.
THE Science Club purposes to have a scientific excursion and general picnic to Blue Mound tc-morrow. Wagons will be provided if there is sufficient demand for them. It is intended to make an attack on the plants, snakes and fossils of the vicinity, and quite likely valuable additions will be made to the collections.
Charlie Voorhis was present at the Bowersock-Pickering wedding in Olathe last Wednesday.
Mr. Frank Miller of the electrical engineering department leaves next Saturday to accept a position with the Western Engineering company of Lincoln, Nebraska. This company is the most prominent electrical company in that state is engaged in the construction of electric railways, electric lights, etc. The members of the company are electricians from Cornell and men well learned in everything pertaining to electricity. Miller came here from Terre Haute, Ind., and has been connected with the electrical engineering department for several years. He has always been a good student, has always taken a deep interest in all of the University affairs especially those connected with his department, and was liked by every one who knew him. The demand for electrical engineers exceeds the supply, and if there were more, ready positions could be obtained for them immediately.
Miss Simpson's class spent yesterday afternoon at Mrs. Arter's, and several very nice pictures were evolved.
THE electrical engineering students took indicator card last week from the engine at McFarland's machine shop.

The latest addition to our exchange list is The Writer, a monthly magazine for literary writers, published at Boston. All who desire to become familiar with the names of the literary wonders of the present, or those who are in any way interested in literature will find in this valuable magazine much desirable information. We should be pleased to have the Writer pay us regular monthly visits.
We are glad to be able to acknowledge the receipt of Student this week. The Student is a very creditable publication, and is in all ways deserving of the high place it holds in college journalism.
College journals throughout the whole country are waging war against the present examination system. The old system has certainly many objectionable features, with little deserving of commendation; while the new system wherever it has been adopted has given perfect satisfaction. We know of no better way of obtaining a knowledge of the work done by a student than by grading from his daily recitations; it is certainly more just to the student. The new system we believe to be a valuable reform, and hope soon to see it more generally adopted.
journalism has gone out of fashion at that establishment.
We hear nothing more of the Night Hawks at Washburn. We wonder if that peculiar feature of college
The Ottawa Campus claims to have only four tobacco smokers and six chewers in the whole number of students. We do not wish to quarrel with the Campus, but we believe a closer observation would materially change these figures.
The criticism of the Campus on the Washburn Reporter we believe to be a just one, and would advise the Reporter to be guided more by the old aphorism, "let another man praise you and not your own lips."

The Political Science Club.
The regular session of this club was held last evening in the lecture room of Snow Hall. There was a full attendance of members, to which was added a large number of students connected with other associations, and not a few citizens. The regular exercises gave place to a very interesting talk by Charles F. Scott, the special Washington correspondent of the Capital-Commonwealth, and the editor and proprietor of the Iola Register. Mr. Scott took for his theme "A Session of Congress," and for an hour and a half chatted most informally and delightfully with his hearers about the machinery of government. He described in detail a working day in the House, and in the Senate; sketched pleasantly the office work of a president, and the routine of the departments; and closed with a general survey of the personnel of each House, and the daily life and duties of members and senators. The
vigorous applause at the close attested the enjoyment of his listeners.
The last meeting of the club for the current year will occur May 10th. On that evening Mr. Stuart O. Henry, university class of '81, will read a paper on "The Materialism of Today." After the session it is intended to hold a reunion of Mr. Henry's class at Prof. Jas. H. Canfield's, which will be the first breath of the commencement breeze.—Tribune.
Hobo.
Hobo.
Tune—Upidae.
Hobo-hobo-hoboho, hobo-hoboho,
hobo-hoboho,
The shades of night were falling fast,
As through the college campus passed
A youth who bore upon his hand
In letters deep the mystic brand,
His brow was sad, upon his nose
His glasses flashed as on he goes.
Within his boot a pistol hung
But on his hand in unknown tongue
But on his hand in unknown tongue Hobo-hobo.
"Oh, come" a tourist cried, "Oh, come and guide me through the museum." The youth stayed not, but passed him by And from the hall sent back the cry,
And from the hall sent back the cry,
Hobo-hobo.
At nine o'clock as onward still
The students clambered up the hill,
Upon the sidewalk painted nice
They found this new and strange device,
ney found this new and strange device,
Hobo-hobo.
The Little American Lord.
This charming little drama is to be given at the Opera House Thursday evening May 9.
No book since Miss Alcott's Little Women, has been so universally admired and enjoyed as Mrs. Burnett's beautiful story of Little Lord Fontleroy, and all will be delighted to recognize Font勒oy in the Little American Lord. The story loses none of its sweetness and purity in being dramatized. The beautiful lesson of the book, of an unreasonable, morose, selfish, tyranical old Earl, becoming softened and almost christianized by the influence and love of an innocent, brave, noble boy, as well as the lives of all with whom he comes in contact being brightened and blessed, becomes more attractive and impressive; while the quaint drollery of the little Lord and his friends Hobbs and Dick pervades the whole play and keeps it sparkling with fun and mirth.
Great care has been taken in the selection of characters, the very best amateur talent of the city (and Lawrence has some, of which she is justly proud) kindly assisting.
The entertainment is given under the auspices of the U and I Cnb, and we anticipate for them a grand success, and for those who are fortunate to go, a very enjoyable evening.
