TWO TIMES still has no "fabored apology" to make for its debut upon the sec end term of its existence. Through the tender care and capable management of our predecessors the TIMES has, we believe, steadily advanced in the estimation of the students of K. S. U., until today it is no longer looked upon as a mere venture with uncertain aim and issue. Confidence has been established, impartiality and justice to all students assured and the most fastidious are at least quiescent. The incoming administration has no radical changes to offer, no new theories in Civil Service or Tariff Reform to advance; but will simply endeavor to guard with zealous care the every interest of our University and its supporters We flatter ourselves that such a policy, backed by a corps of editors chosen by our many subscribers, and equitably representing all classes of students, must sustain the TIMES in the high rank which it has attained at the hands of our "illustrious predecessors."
Our suggestion to the Courier regarding change or dates, directory, etc., was heeded. The mighty may even learn from their inferioris.
THE Educational committees from the Legislature visited the University last Monday. The effect of the visit now remains to be seen.
We as students of K. S. U. surely have ample reason to rejoice. From the fine appearance of the members of the Legislative committee which has just inspected our institution it is very evident that they are men who fully appreciate the advantages offered by a well equipped institution of learning. From the broad smile on their faces as they saunter through our halls it is apparent that they have a warm feeling for our welfare. Rest assured our interests are safe in their hands. With such men in our legislative halls we will not long see our State institution of learning hampered by appropriations even less liberal than those advanced by Missouri for her University.
NEXT Friday it will be decided whether K, S, U. will again represent Kansas
In the Inter-State contest. That this should be so is the desire of every loyal student of K. S. U. Our representative may not have been your choice; someone else may have suited you better, on personal grounds, but the judges decided, and there can be no doubt as to the wisdom of their choice, that Mr. Reed is the best orator that K. S. U. produced this year. This being the case, all personalities should be laid aside and all should do all in their power toward the success of our orator at Emperia. No better way can be found of doing this than by your presence at Emperia. If he sees a large number of his fellow students before him, he will be encouraged to put forth his best efforts for success. Students secure your tickets at once and go to Emporia and see another trophy added to the victories of K. S. U.
AMONG the new departures in the Department of History and Political Science is noted the commencement of the critical study of the Civil war, its causes and effects. Although some have questioned the advisability of this step so soon after such a bitter civil conflict, yet when the fair and impartial methods employed by Prof. Canfield are considered only those extremists still prejudiced by "sectional sectarianism" can fear the results. Students in this department are no longer simply instructed but are allowed that freedom of research among the authorities in our library, which can only result in a thorough explanation and understanding of all points in question and tend to a symmetrical development. By such methods undue prejudice will vanish, points formerly in dispute will be settled and by the exercise of little good reason and judgment we are enabled to delve deep into even such delicate topics as the Rebellion before the generation involved in it has passed
"VERILY the whang doodle mournth" but it is hinted that our esteemed contemporary may not "go on forever." For once we must give due credit to an open ingenuous avowed and this time we are the more willing because it is a confession of inherent weakness. It does take courage to acknowledge ones faults—ones incapabilities. This much we admire in the attitude assumed by our contemporary in seeking a leader for their organ for the coming term, from without the ranks of their dual combine. But upon a second thought, well knowing the utter inability of these parties to remove their veil of false pride and ac knowledge their weakness—we are convinced that the offer of editor-in-chief of the Courier recently made to a well known non-frat man, did not arise from any such motive. We are loathe to believe that within their ranks can be found no one capable of watching the emouldering embers die. No, the true secret of such a move is summed up in selfishness and bribery and well merited the severe rebuke which it received.
THE Baldwin Ledger takes the TIMES to task for a short squib in a recent issue concerning one P. P. Campbell, a journal clerk of the Senate, in which the TIMES states that Mr. Campbell has an opportunity to injure the University. The Ledger attempts in a half column of ringing editorial to exhonorate the eminent gentleman and charges the TIMES editor of not knowing the difference between the duties of a legislator and a journal clerk. We may or we may not know the difference but we do know that Mr. Campbell is not a friend to K. S. U., and he is not duty bound to do anything for her. In judging the future by the past, our conclusion cannot be otherwise. The charge made by the Ledger of jealously of Mr. Campbell's rank obtained in the Inter-State Contest is false. Mr. Campbell showed his little ness of spirit and lack of patriotism and manhood last May when as president of the Inter-State Association, on a tie vote for the presidency between the Indiana man and one from Kansas (a K. S. U. representative) he cast the deciding vote, conferring the honor on a man not of his own State. Oh yes, certainly Mr. Campbell has the best interests of the
THE PEABODY CATALOGUE.
University and Kansas Institutions at heart.
Perhaps all have not yet noticed the valuable addition lately made to the reference book in the library in the shape of a catalogue of the library of the Peabody institute of the city of Baltimore. It is a gift to the library from the trustees of of the institute. It consists of three large volumes containing 2668 pages, covering the alphabet from A to L inclusive. The rest of the alphabet is to be comprised in two more volumes, and there will be a sixth, a supplementary volume. These last three volumes also have been promised to our library. The fourth volume to end with the letter R, will probably be finished about the end of next June
A mere glance at this catalogue will suffice to show that neither pains nor expense have been spared in its preparation. The more printing of the volumes so far issued has cost nearly eight dollars a volume, and the next to be issued will cost about ten dollars. About 350,000 titles have already been written for the whole catalogue.
It is in one alphabet for both authors and subjects. It includes not only books, but also collections, periodicals, and proceedings, journals, reports, and irregular publications of societies. Under books it also gives all important reviews. Under Grote's History of Greece, for instance, 18 reviews of it is named. And not only a book, but its contents are catalogued. And when the contents are given under the title of a book, they are given, not in order of pages, but in alphabetical order of subjects in heavier-faced type, making it much easier to find the subject you want than in the other catalogues. The treatment of periodicals also shows a great improvement on other catalogues. Not only the volume and the page are given, but also the year and number of pages; thus giving one some idea of the resources at the command of the writer, the place of the article in the history of the subject, and the extent and depth of treatment.
This catalogue will serve us as a splendid guide to the best that has been written on every subject, and a constant reminder of what our library ought to contain. On Greece and Greek alone it contains 53½ pages of titles, giving 3300 titles. There are 4½ pages of articles in periodicals on Greek inscriptions. There are 53½ pages on England and English, 53 on France and French, 28 on Germany and German, and 12 on Egypt. The Bible gets 35 pages, and Drama, of all times and literatures, 77. What a splendid array! And all, the best books. There is absolutely no trash such as can be found in some quantity at least in almost every other catalogue. This catalogue ought to prove an inspiration to every lover of books and study in every line. No one who is reading or studying any subject should fail to get all the light this catalogue can throw on. Indeed it will repay perusal at any time.
REFLECTIONS.
The first term is past. The examinations are over. Some of us failed in one or more studies. Many of us who did not fall expected "ones" where we got "threes." There was a cause for this. Each individual knows the reason of his or her own failure. With many it was unavoidable, but with most it was the result of broken promises which we made to ourselves on our entering in the fall. To these last and to all students who are in the habit of making such promises and then breaking them, we say do it no more. If you will work, you need make no promises. If you won't work, the promises are likewise of no use. Many of us thought to spend our holidays in reviewing, here again we made the same serious mistake. One of the professors was heard to remark the other day, that he did not expect his classes to study during vacation, and that he thought anyone one foolish who even attempted such a thing. Now, it seems as though that was the common-sense view of the thing. And while it may seem out of place and a little late we would offer a few suggestions for the second terms work. Do not try to do too much. Whatever you
do, do your best. Don't promise what you will not do. Don't work when you are given a chance to rest. If this advice was closely followed we think the faculty would soon have no use for their rule regarding failures. We think that the students would feel better, and that they would hold the time spent here, as well spent and not thrown away. Follow Prof. Canfield's advice: Work while you do work. Go in with such a spirit and you will win.
REPORT OF THE BUSINESS MANAGERS OF THE UNIVERSITY TIMES TO THE TREASURER.
To the Treasurer of University TIMES Publishing Co.
SIR:
We, the undersigned, Business Managers of the University TIMES, in accordance with the Constitution of the company, submit the following report:
In making this report we thought it not out of place to recall a few incidents in the history of journalism in the University.
In the year'78-'79 there existed papers in K. S. U., the Collegiate and University Courier, published monthly and the University Pastime, published semi-monthly.
The University Pastime ceased with the issue of April 16th, 1879, seemingly for lack of support. With the Courier and Collegiate still in the field, the University Review sprang into existence in the fall of 79, but ostensibly combined with the Collegiate. The Courier soon went under for want of support.
This left the Review the only paper it the University till the summer of 1882, when the Courier was revived. With one exception these two papers were the only ones published in the University from that time till the TIMES started up. The exception was the few months two Couriers were published.
At different times in the history of the University three papers have existed. But at no time did the the third paper receive so large and enthusiastic support as has the Times.
No third paper has met with such financial success as has the Times. Business men as well as the great body of students welcomed its entrance into the world.
With the judicious management and good word on the part of the managers and editors, who shall follow we firmly believe and have a right to expect that the Times will live and prosper for years to come.
With these few words we make the following report of receipts and expenditures in the publication of the TIMES. Cost of publication to Jan. 1, 1889, $254.37.
Receipts from subscribers and advertising to Jan. 1, 1889, $250.37. Leaving a deficit of $4.

EDITOR TIMES: Since Prof. Marsh's appointment to the department of Bates Letters at Harvard I have noticed many paragraphs from papers in the State, congratulating Kansas on the fact that Mase sacchuess has to send out here for a teacher. It seems to me that this rejoicing is a little premature.
While I am heartily of the opinion that both State and University are to be congratulated on having for three years enjoyed the services of a man whose ability has won him this call from his Alma Mater. I do not think we should forget Harvard as Prof. Marsh's Alma Mater, I owe my education to the State of Kansas, and most ungrateful would it be in me to decry the gift; but such a man as Prof. Marsh is not the product of Kansas culture, and it seems to me absurd to claim him as such. His three years of residence here do not alter the fact that his equipment was obtained and his facilities trained at that very institution whose demand for his services has called forth so much self-grification.
□ Of course, with Prof. Marsh, education is a process that will cease only with life. Therefore I doubt not that he has profited and developed by his experience among us; yet I would risk a statement that he has left as powerful an impression on Kansas as the State on him.
Kansas has done much for a new State to establish opportunities of culture, and she already has cause to be proud of many sons and daughters of that culture. But that we are so eager to credit of which so slight a part is our due is in itself an indication of how much we luck. When the time really comes when Harvard sends for Kauasus bred and Kauasus trained men to conduct her classes, no one will rejoice more heartily than
KANSAN.
