FOR AND BY THE STUDENTS OF THE KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY. VOL. I. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER Local. All library books were called in Tuesday. The class of 93 has been recently honored. The Shakespeare class commenced the study of "Dick the Third," Tuesday. The last week of school is never unknown for its brilliant recitations. Prof. Carruth gave a parlor lecture Wednesday night, before the Cambridge Suffrage League. "The Jacolite" at the Unity Club tonight is played almost exclusively by University students. The oratorical difficulty will soon be settled and all parties will be interested in having a good contest. Prof. Saunderson will probably conduct the Freshmen and Sophomore classes in elocation next term. The University carpenter is busily engaged in making cabinet cases for chemicals at the Chemistry building. The wolf is now a fixture of Snow Hall, being confined in a cage and wears a chain even while in the cage. Dr. Lippincott and Prof. Marsh represent the University, upon the program of the State Teachers Association. Lee M. Gray, a prominent member of the Senior Law class, visited Emporia last Saturday on Legal business. The verdant and youthful Prep goes home to-day to hang up his stockings for the annual visit of Santa Clause. It is rumored that one of the University students took the whole family of his best girl to see the dog show last week. The Geology class is now taking about twenty pages of solid facts and figures per lesson. Consequently there is much "boning." The petition for the benefit of James still circulateh in the halls. We hope that Mr. Nasium will soon be with us. According to the University reporter of the *Tribune* some of the boys are responsible for the decision of some of the recently initiated girls. Prof. Blake is putting up several poles between Adams and Ohio streets with the intention of placing an electric light at the foot of the hill. The Natural History department received another deer skin from Montana last Saturday. This makes the second one received from the same person. Misses Franc Eddy, Nellie Morris, Jeanne Edwards, Manie Johnston, Nina Taggart and Laura Lockwood were initiated into the mysteries of K. K. G. Monday night. Prof. Dyche received a box containing about fifteen birds, some of them quite valuable, last week, from Louis Phillips, of Denver. Phillips was formerly a Lawrence boy. One of the students started to walk out in the country to see a lady friend on Tuesday, but discovering the distance to be four miles gave up in despair and returned to the city. Mrs. Prof. Carruth delightfully entertained a company last Saturday evening in honor of Miss Jean Fullerton and her brother who favored the guests with reading from Scotch poems. It seems as if with one exception none of the will-be contestants in the Oratorical Contest, have begun hunting their orations. Remember it is generally the early bird that catches the worm. Prof. Dyche and Mr. Eames are now at work manufacturing bones for the Rocky Mountain sheep and will have the frame work, over which to mount the skin, ready by next week. The Sigma Chi Mandoline club play for the Unity club this evening. This club has already become the most popular Mandoline club in the University, Times wishes it unlimited success. Billy White is going to make a strike to-might at the Unity Club. He has the part of John Doch, and those who have seen Billy in any of his theatrical performances expect something good of him. For the past few weeks, there has been an important movement on foot among the young men of the University. Almost an infinite number of young mustaches have made their appearance, all, doubtless for the effect they will produce upon friends at home, by change of appearance, etc. Prof. Blake is having his study fixed up and it now presents a very cosy appearance. The average Professors' study lacks furniture, carpet and comfort. Appropriations have always been too meager to warrant much improvements, but Prof. Blake improves his out of his own small salary. The January number of the Andover Review will contain the first of a series of articles on "Public Instruction in Religion." Prof. Marsh is to be the first contributor and as the Professor is famed as an interesting and instructive writer, these articles will be of unlimited value to the literary world. Mr. Samuel Burkholder of the class of '86, was recently married to Miss Flora Miessel. Both of the contracting parties were of Peabody, Kas., and are highly respected in society of that city. The Times extends congratulations to the newly wedded pair and hopes that their cup of happiness shall ever be filled to overflowing. The annual Yale Alumni Association banquet will be given at Kansas City Dec. 28, 1888. Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, of the class of '73, and Prof. Wilcox, of the class of '76, will attend. There will doubtless be a meeting of old classmates and a general reiteration of old College scenes and times. These Yale Alumni banquets are always successful and are attended by a large number of the leading men of the country. Hager & Davis now occupy a very commodious room in Glathart & Sparr's new building. They informed a representative of the TIMES that they will do all kinds of copying on the type writer. This is an excellent chance for those who expect to enter the oratorical contest to have their orations copied so that the judges can easily read them. They also informed us that all work would be strictly confidential. The library will be open every day during the holidays, except on Christmas and New Years day, under the usual regulations, from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m. This will be a very great accommodation to the students who contemplate remaining in Lawrence during the holidays. There seems to be an unusually great desire upon the part of the faculty and the librarian of the University to accommodate the students and this kindness is greatly appreciated by the students. Students having trouble with their eyes and wanting glasses, should go to D. C. Prudden S W. 9 street, Kansas City Mo. The celebrated Yale Glee Club will be in Kansas City Jan. 3, 1889. A concert will be given under the auspices of the Alumni Association of that city. This is the most famous club in the United States, and a concert given by them means an excellent music performance. An effort will be made to have the Club visit K. S. U. and if it is the good fortune of the University to secure the Club, perhaps some of the genuine college spirit may be infused into the students. Let us not only have the Yale Club visit us but let us have a club of our own. Students in visiting Kansas City should remember that Jaccard's set the fashion in jewelry for the elite of the West.
