The electric light on Ohio street was lighted Friday night, giving the much needed light on that part of the hill. Hickey and Brown looked the worse Tuesday morning for an explosion that occurred in the Chemical Laboratory.
Everybody should now hurrah for Brewster of Washburn, in order that he may be spurred to his best effort at Grinnell.
It is rumored that Fred Grebbs is one of the editors on the Quid Nunc, a paper of unknown origin published in Baldwin City.

The University did their share of dancing at the hop at Emporia and the way they clung to the guilleless maidens from Baker and Washburn was worthy of a better cause.
The subject for the young men's social gospel meeting on Sunday at 4 p. m. will be "A young man whose conversion was not doubted. A cordial invitation to all students. Rev. R. A. George will conduct the service. Singing by male chorus.

Gus Dugar, a Baldwin hoodlum struck Mr. Lutz, a K. S. U. boy with a heavy cane while the K. S. U. car was passing through Baldwin. This Dugar aught to have a ball and chain put around his neck and be sank in a bottomless lake of brimstone, however, it is only a question of time.
The "Quid Nunc" is the name of a new sub rosa paper published at Baker University by some enterprising "doughnut". The "Quid Nunc" is a good thing in its way, and the impartial manner in which it slams faculty and students must be very refreshing to the seedy looking preps who attend that institution.
Harry Barnes met with a very painful accident last Tuesday. He was leaving the University at the end of the fourth hour, when he slipped upon the stone step of the building and fell, bruising and straining his leg so severely that he was unable to walk, and had to be carried home. No bones were broken, however, and it is hoped he will be able to resume his studies in a few days.
E. C. Franklin is furnishing the library with the Troy Chief, Sol. Miller's paper. The Chief is of special interest to K. S. U. people now, as it contains the European letters of Glen Miller, well known by all old students. Glen is on his way around the world, and at present doing Europe on foot, a ²ᵈa Bayard Taylor. His letters are written in his usual racy style, and there is not a prosy line in them. The last one of the series was from Genoa, Italy.
The much talked of Ananias club was organized last Tuesday evening. The object is to get together a limited number of jolly good fellows who have seen something of the world and who have a faculty of recounting their experiences. The meetings will be spent in songs and story-telling and in electing to honorary membership such promising liars as are brought to the notice of the club. The meetings are strictly secret and the club is not composed of any clique or faction. There is no end to fun in store for the members.
It would be a great favor to some of the students if the rack in which the library permits are placed was lengthened or else done away with altogether. If it is kept there is plenty of room in the library for several more than this method permits. But we think that it is a useless formality. There is never a time when there are more Juniors and Seniors, than the library will accommodate, who wish to enjoy its privileges. And even if such were occasionally the case it could be safely, left to their good sense and good manners not to overcrowd the library.
Wilson S. Kinnear, son of our townman, R. Kinnear, who has distinguished himself as as a civil engineer, and who has been for the past year in California, sailed Jan. 23rd from San Francisco for Chili, South America. He goes in the interest of a New York Syndicate to build six or seven hundred miles of railroad for the Chili Government. His wife is now visiting his parents here, and will leave shortly for her home in Ohio, and will sail from New York in the spring where she will join him.—Ottawa Republican.
Mr. Kinnear is an old University student of the class of '84. We are glad to note his advancement and hope his success in that distant land may be unbounded.
There was a good attendance last Friday night at the Philological Club. Miss Lockwood was elected a member of the club.
Philological Club.
Miss Merrill gave an account of Dr. Doellinger's late lecture on "American Literature." Dr. Doellinger declared that nations can no longer live their intellectual life alone, that what interests America also interests Germany, and discussed especially Cooper, Irving, Prescott, and Channing. In America there is no aristocracy, not even one of learning. The absence of a learned class, the absence of an official class, and the popular newspaper, are forces working against literature. In other countries the class of permanent office-holders gives support to literature, but in America office-holders often possess little culture, and they are constantly changing. The future of American literature depends largely on the solution of three problems The great corporations, the negroes, and foreign immigration.
Miss Hammett then spoke of Mr. Bryce's chapter of American Universities in his new book on the American Commonwealth. The American Universities, he says, are either private or public, the latter established, endowed, and governed by the States. Not more than twelve institutions would strictly come within the definition of a University. In some the range of subjects taught is too limited, and the corps of instructors, and the provision of laboratories, libraries, and other external appliances, entirely inadequate. Others differ from the gymnasia of Germany, the lyceses of France, and the public schools of England, only in the fact that they confer degrees and permit greater freedom to the students. Some Universities have reached the maximum in the freedom of choice of studies, while several leading ones and the smaller colleges cling to the old system of prescribed studies. There has been no special provision made for the promotion of research except by the Johns Hookins and Harvard fellowships. The prevalent opinion is that Universities are free, like the English, and popular, like the German. They will soon have greater funds at their command than the Universities of Europe, and the great Universities of the East, as well as one or two in the West, are already beinning to rival the ancient Universities of Europe.
Mr. Dumlap spoke of Mr. A. J. Ellis's paper on Volapuck, called forth by a letter from the American Philosophical Society to the English Philological Society asking their co-operation in perfecting a language for learned and commercial purposes. To accept this invitation would imply that Volapuk was useless As a matter of fact, Volapuk has thousands of adherents, and is growing rapidly. It is easy to acquire, and lends itself readily to expression. Mr. Ellis concludes that it is well-adopted for the purposes for which it was intended. The Society took no action on the American invitation.
Prof. Wilcox announced the discovery of a beautiful fragment of the Parthenon frieze, and its identification as the head of Iris by Dr. Waldstein of the American school at Athens.
