A. is likely to be held at the University the same evening and a little before the literary societies. This will give the boys a chance to attend both meetings the same evening and will surely result in benefit to the organization. The city branch of the Y. M. C. A. has agitated to some extent the subject of a gymnasium. There seems to be a prevailing sentiment in favor of the movement, providing sufficient means can be obtained. It has been frequently suggested, by those interested in the enterprise, that perhaps a goodly number of K. S. U. students would like an interest in a gymnasium centrally located. The proposition is, to procure all the necessities of a first class gymnasium, accompanied by a bath room. The support of the enterprise is to come from membership fees, amounting to perhaps two dollars, or two dollars and a half per year. It is desirable to know the feeling of the students in regard to this matter. So when through chink and scuttle bore. Boreas in your room has stole.
