Philological Club.
Last Friday evening was given up to a Symposium on Philological handbooks. Prof. Wilcox spoke of the encyclopedic character of the times, the tendency to gather together into a single publication the intellectual acquisitions of the past, and the necessity and advantages of such a tendency. The specialist is thus enabled to get a knowledge of the development of the great whole, as also of the separate branches of the science in which he is working but an insignificant platt; and the student to put himself abreast of the time in his chosen line without having to wade through the myriad monographs in all languages. These general works may be in the dictionary or alphabetical form, or in the more systematic form, where more attention is paid to the conception and divisions of the science, as well as the position and significance of its branches.
It is about 100 years since F. A. Wolff delivered a course of lectures on the conception and contents, the relations and aims of the classical studies. So Dr. Iwan Mueller thought it a good time to gather together the results of the numerous workers before and after Wolff, and publish them in a systematic handbook der classischen alterthumswissenschaft. This when completed will comprise eight large volumes with about 6,000 pages in all. Our library is getting the volumes as they appear. About two-thirds of the work is now out. Twenty-one different subjects are treated by twice as many different men, the Greek and Roman branch of each subject having a different author. The subjects are: The Fundamental Principles and History of Classical Philology, Exegesis and Criticism, Palacecography, Epigraphy, the Calendar, Weights and Measures, Grammur, Lexicography, Rhetoric, Metric, Music, Geography, Topography, Political History, History of Literature, General Antiquities Mathematics and Natural Science, Philosophy, Mythology, Art. the Theater.
Prof. Marsh spoke of the Manuel de Philologie classical, a book intended to set forth the fundamental principles of every line of classical philology, and will show how and where to get the material for study. This manual is very much smaller than Mueller's Hambuck, and hence less full, and more of a guide than an exposition.
Prof. A. G. Canfield spoke of two works one completed and the other in course of publication, which are intended to give a complete survey of the philology of the romance language. The first of these is a book especially designed for students who are beginning their special study of these languages, by Prof Koerting an Encyclopedia of Romance Philology, with the treatise on the method of its study. The other is a more elaborate work, to which twenty-nine of the best specialists contribute, under the editorship of Prof. Groeber of Strasburg. This is to be completed in six parts, and will contain pretty much all that we at present know about the subject to which it is devoted.
Mr. Dunlap spoke of Koerting's Encyclopaedie and Methodologie der English Philologie which includes every important topic connected with the subject. Appended to each chapter is a discriminating bibliography. He spoke also of Prof. Cook's pamphlet on the Phonological investigation of Old English, in which Prof. Cook lays down 50 problems carefully worked out, so as to show the main rules of English Phonology- The pamphlet is valuable as suggesting methods to the student.
Orophilian--Athanaeum.
The joint meeting held by the two above named societies was a grand success. Long before 8 o'clock last Friday evening, every seat in the Athenaeum hall was occupied, where-upon the society adjourned to the University chapel. A very large and appreciative audience greeted the members of the program. H. White was the first on the program and read an excellent essay on a "Girl of College." Mr. White is a pleasing writer and handled his subject in an able manner G. Holsinger, as chairman of the meeting, introduced Miss Flora Newlin, who favored the audience with a declamation, "The Snow," in a very pleasing and artistic manner. Miss Newlin is a declaim-
er of no little ability and power and gave to the audience an exhibition of what the young ladies of K. S. U. are capable of doing. E. M. Mumford, in a very carefully prepared oration gave an outline of the life and character of Gen Ben. Harrison Mr. Mumford is a forcible speaker and with carefully selected words and pointed sentences clearly expressed his opinion of our next president. The debate, Resolved, That the Oklahoma territory should be opened for settlement was discussed by Messers. E. L. Ackley and C. M. Enns of Orophillian society and C. S. Hall and R. D. Ross of Athenaeum. The gentlemen are all famed debaters and have put much time and study upon preparing their discussion and the Times venture to say that the audience has never before heard this question, the Indian question discussed in such an able and logic manner. The societies are to be congratulated upon the success of the meeting and every one who availed themselves o the opportunity of attending, make the inquiry of "Why not have these meetings oftener?"
From au Alumnus.
The TIMES is always glad to note the successes of the University students and so gladly gives space to the following letter from an ex-member of the class of '87. Mr. McMillan while at the University was recognized as a brilliant man and none of his classmates will be surprised at the rapid advance he has made in his chosen work.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18, 1888.
MY DEAR
A circular letter signed by yoursett and four others dated Lawrence October 9th, relative to an attack on Prof. Canfield reaches me to-day. It was addressed to me at Council Grove, Kansas. I reply at this late day merely to assure you that as an old time student, I agree with you fully in your estimate of Professor Canfield's worth as a man and his value to the institution in the department he so ably represents. Professor Canfield was the man who induced me to attend the University. I met him on one of his tours of the State, at Council Grove. I feel under a personal obligation for the service he rendered me at that time—An obligation which close association with him strengthened as time went on. He has made himself and the University known throughout the State and beyond the State by the breadth and scope of his views and the institution can not afford to lose him. So much for the subject matter of your circular. I have changed my base of operation from Kansas to California and find the latter state more desirable in every respect. I am fast losing recollection of K. S. U., names as they now appear. Almost all of my old friends are gone. Yours is the only name on the circular that I recognize. I suppose you are about through. I have had no cause for complaint in the matter of progress in a business way, though I will always regret that I did not have an opportunity to graduate with my class. And now chief clerk of Gen'l Freight Department of the roads above California Central and California Southern named at $150 per month with very good prospect of advancement. Have managed to pick up a few thousand dollars while the boom hated and so have very kindly feeling for Southern California and all for San Diego the most charming spot in lower California. We have lately moved from there to Los Angeles which though a larger place, I do not like nearly so well. I meet quite often K. S. U., people. Some few days ago Miss Cockins and Mr. Woodard formerly clerk of the University. Mr. Woodard is now working in our Auditing department. Koons is also in the Auditing department having arrived from Toppea only a few days ago. May we expect to see you after you graduate? With regards to the few who may still remember me I am

Palladium: An Opinion.
While it is with pleasure that we note the increasing interest in the literary work of the University, yet we cannot think that it is either necessary or for the best that any of this interest should manifest itself by the organization of a new society.
It is not necessary because all the members which Palladium now has or is likely to have would have sufficient opportunity to cultivate their literary talent by joining either Athenaeum or Orophilian. Not only would they have sufficient opportunity to cultivate this talent, but they would have a better opportunity because they would be placed upon the program of either of the old societies, at least once a month, and while they might come on the program of Palladium oftener, yet we think that once a month is as often as a student with the average University work can prepare a good exercise to be presented before a society and in accordance with the old maxim, that whatever we do we should do well, we believe it would be better for a student to present one creditable exercise in a month than two poor ones.
Neither is the organization of this society for the best because it tends to do that very thing which we should try to avoid; the increase of party spirit. We do not think that either of the old societies suffer from the fact that it has 'frats' among its members. Nor do we think that any member of either of these societies suffer, so far as opportunity of improvement in literary work is concerned, from the fact that he is not a member of a fraternity, and for the benefit of any who may fear that if they join the old societies they will not be able to obtain office because they are not "frats", we will say that more than half of the officers of Athenaeum are "barbs" and perhaps the same is true of Orophilian. It has been said that neither the devil nor the Democratic party are as black as they have been painted, and we think the same will apply to the fraternities in reference to their effects on the literary societies.
We hope this literary work will continue to increase and that it will not be wasted in attempting to maintain to many societies.

The Review.
The Review is a good substantial publication and merits the support of students and faculty.
Judge S. O. Thacher, Judge J. Q. A. Norton and Col. O. E. Learnard have kindly consented to act as judges of the coming oratorical contest to be held next Tuesday evening in the University chapel. These men are all ably competent to judge of the productions of K. S. U.'s orators and are men of too much common sense to be influenced by any outside bearings. The contestants can look for a fair and honest dedition and the TIMES ventures to say that the ablest and best man and one who will win, will be selected to represent K. S. U. at Emporia,

A meeting of the Board of Directors of the University Publishing company (the Review) was held Monday at 1 p. m. At this meeting Will A. White and H. W. Montgomery were elected as directors to fill the unexpired terms, made vacant by the absence of O. H. Holmes and O. B. Taylor. The board also elected Harvey F. M. Bear, treasurer; and Chas. Vorish, secretary of the Company. A full report was made by the retiring treasurer, Mr. W. S. Franklin, and the affairs of the company were found to be in very satisfactory condition. The one hundred shares of the Company are all sold.

Until lately all our educational plans have assumed man to be merely sedentary being; we have employed teachers of music and drawing to go from school to school to teach those elegant arts, but have had none to teach the art of health. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Atlantic Monthly.
Time and experience have convinced me of an imperious demand in the circumstances of an academic life, for immediate and efficient action on this subject. Many of our students come from farms, mechanic shops, and other active occupations; to the hard and sedentary habits of college. Physical exercise is neglected, the laws of health are violated, the protests and exhortations of instructors and other friends are unheeded. The once active student soon becomes physically indolent, his mental powers become dulled, his movement and appearance indicate physical deterioration. By the time the students have reached the Junior year, many of them are broken down and every year some lives are sacrificed.—W. A. Stearns, D. D., of Amherst College.

Hon. L B Kellogg, the new attorney general, had plenty to do to take care of the numerous callers who came and went, and hasn't worried himself to-day about opinions, briefs or petitions, and, in his accommodatingness, filed not a single demurrer at the number of his visitors or the length of their not always most pleasant calls. There will be, for the present at least, but one slight change in the clerical force of Mr. Kellogg's department. Hon. Irwin Taylor will continue in his position as assistant attorney general, and Chas. Hull, General Bradford's efficient stenographer, will be retained by Mr. Kellogg. Fred Kellogg, son of the attorney general, succeeds Charles Pensky as clerk and type writer —State Journal.
—Prof. L. I. Blake will lecture at the University this evening at 7:30, before the Art Department. An invitation is extended to all, and visitors will be made welcome.
Our friend Billy Bromelsick has engaged the services of the students' friends, Mr. Good Goods and Low Prices and is getting lots of University trade.

A BRILLIANT IDEA
Mr. Poe, of Butler county, yesterday introduced in the House the following resolution:
Resolved. That the committee on State affairs be directed to ascertain and report to this house at as early a day as possible, whether it is a fact that the British doctrine of free trade is taught at the State University at Lawrence, and by whom, and that they report by bill or otherwise what if any legislation is necessary to abolish the English titles of "Queen Camelot" ("Dame and "Rigent", or "rulers", in the absence of a king, and submittate in lieu thereof, the American titles of "Professors" and "Trustees" for the officers of said institutions of the State of Kansas, to whom British titles are given by laws of this State."
WHEREAS. The people of the State of Kansas have decided by a majority of 80,000 that they are in favor of protection to American industries, and are opposed to the doctrine of British free trade, therefore be it
Let the good work go on! Let the committee on State affairs prune closely, and see that no trace is left of thoughts, words, deeds, principles or institutions of our ancestors. And let it conclude its labor by enacting that the House Chaplain's pay will be forfeited if he uses the "British" Lord's Praver.
Then let the bill pass both houses unanimously. — *Tribune*.
Boys, don't miss the chance of your life to buy clothing for less than cost. We are selling clothing cheaper than it was ever sold in Lawrence before. CRAINS & URBANSKY.

Rentfuw's Jolly Pathfinders played at the Library Hall last night to a good audience. The entertainment consisted of two plays, "Rural Simplicity" and "Scraps," both of which were full of fun and kept the audience in a roar of laughter. The actors were well up in their respective parts, and fully sustained the good reputation they came to as a part of the play, last night the character of Kitty Meersell, and delighted the audience with his songs and imitations. Master Jones is a remarkable young comedian and is worthy the attention of the public.
Don't forget to stop at Crew's Saturday morning and get a couple of seats for Monday night's performances of Rentfrow's company. It is not often that so good a company will fix prices within the reach of everybody. Read what the Pittsburgh Dispatch says of them:
