MOTTO. —Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken
Entered at, the Post Office at Lawrence, Kansas, as second class matter.
Good work is being done by all the societies. We are glad to see the old feuds and animosities buried and good feeling prevail. Long may it remain so.
. . . .
If the alumni of the University will use a little exertion with their representatives and senators, liberal appropriations will be received from the legislature next winter.
--the time thus occupied is frequently taken from study and recitation—from the very things for the purpose of pursuing which we have come to the University. So we let each one ponder the matter over, "Does it pay?"
One quarter of the school year is now concluded, and we can now congratulate ourselves upon the good work so far done.
The lecture course is now firmly established, and deserves the aid of every student.
The assault upon the students in the morning paper last Friday was brutal and malicious. The writer well knew that most of the damage done on Hallowe'en was the work of town boys, and the flourish of trumpets and array of threats were hardly ridiculous enough to approach sublimity.
Desiring to make the COURIER a medium by which the alumni of the University can keep themselves posted as to the doings of college, students and alumni, we would request all alumni to notify us of any errors in our list of alumni, any changes of residence or occupation of themselves and any news of interest to the University and its friends. And all communications will be gladly published in our columns.
The alumni of the University now numbers over one hundred. These, with the many who have attended the University for a time without graduating, are now scattered about the state, and are to be found in nearly every county and town. Their influence is widespread and powerful. By taking a little time to urge upon their representatives and senators elect, the needs and requirements of the University, they will wonderfully aid in the promotion and advancement of their alma mater. Will they do this?
- - - the time thus occupied is frequently taken from study and recitation—from the very things for the purpose of pursuing which we have come to the University. So we let each one ponder the matter over, "Does it pay?"
The excitement attending the late election, and the consequent neglect of studies on the part of some would-be politicians, raises the question, "Does this pay?" We think not. The time spent in thus acquaintingly oneself with the intricacies and workings of politics, would be much better spent on legitimate work. And more,
As will be perceived, our "Views" columns are considerably agitated over the moral tone of "billiard playing."
The great religious weekly, in its desire to see only that which is moral and good practiced by the students of the K. S. U., is glad to see this discussion. If "rolling the balls" is not of the order of amusement to be tolerated by the most fastidious of the good and upright, we certainly hope "the boys" will seriously consider indulging no longer. Note the "View" of "One of the Boys" in this issue.
We feel that we owe to the business men of Lawrence and Kansas City who are giving us such liberal financial support through our advertising columns, most complimentary thanks. "Tis true the trade of five to six hundred young men and women for a year, at three to five hundred dollars each, is worth a great deal (profit on one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars) to those securing it, yet even with this consideration, we must say they are very liberal with us. Of course we expect to, and know that we do give value received, yet advertising is always a venture. The business men of Lawrence, as a whole, respond well to all solicitations. Occasionally one is found who sneers at "students' trade," but such as they soon find themselves not long troubled with any. To our fellow-students we only ask that you occasionally cast an eye over our advertising columns, and "patronize only those that patronize you."
..
We desire our position on fraternities thoroughly understood. Our motto is "Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken." We are not ready to say we are opposed to the existence of fraternities in the K. S. U., as some seem to interpret our meaning. As social organizations we are happy to admit they may in many ways be productive of much good. They say 'tis true that this is their field of usefulness. But what school ever supported a half dozen such organizations without feeling the accursed influence of such centralized political bodies? One to three minds controlling the score with which they are so bound. These "'chiefs"' of each, half dozen to dozen minds in all combining, a hundred individuals cater to their dictation. They thus become a grand monopoly of all collegiate elective honors. The corruptive political tradings warranted by the youthful, pure, innocent, fresh minds of these boys and girls are truly at times fearful to contemplate. To themselves demoralizing; the beginning perhaps, of defiled careers, while to the unfortunate, hopeful "barbarian" thus crushed, it may be the first step to a discouraged, dispituted career. We certainly declaim against such bodies as political organizations, and their rule in the K. S. U. must be broken.
The Courier bulletin on the election results brought forth many compliments to Courier enterprise.
VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS:—Every loyal student should resent the charge made against our University students in the last COUMIER by "One of the Boys." He declares that the creatures around the pool tables "are every whit as good as can be found in the University, and no one is ashamed to associate with them." We are sorry that he allows himself to be classified with them, for he is infinitely better than the best of them, although he may be the worst of our University boys. To prove this, one only needs to stray into any of the billiard halls from 10 to 12 P.M. Vile men must slip in, where the only qualification for admission is money. Brains and souls are not required.
He practically agrees with the rest of my objections, all of which I here summarize:
2. Waste of time.
1. Bad associations.
3. Waste of money.
4. Neglect of study.
5. Ruined health.
7. Disgrace to Kansas University.
We should help our University, is the belief of ONE OF THE BOYS.
6. Ruined manhood.
Ed. Views:-Two years ago the chemistry class held its recitations in the basement of the University building. In consequence of lack of room, and the inconvenience of having this department connected with the University proper, the legislature was asked for an appropriation for the building of a chemical laboratory: recognizing our need it kindly made the appropriation. Under the skillful direction of our esteemed ex-chancelor, Dr. Marvin, the work of building was successfully carried out, and now we find ourselves in the possession of a handsome building, fitted up with all the apparatus of a first class laboratory.
We have a building that is a credit to the University and to the State. It gives the class of '87 a decided advantage over those that have gone before.
But let us look at it! It is situated quite a distance from the University building; five minutes are allowed for students to pass from one class to another.
In the fall and spring it is both pleasant and beneficial to go from one building to the other.
Most students taking chemistry or a medical course have recitations in the main building.
But when the winter comes with its cold and wet, the young ladies will have to go to the cloak room and dress up in full regalia for traveling. The gentlemen will need their overcoats, umbrellas, etc. They start. The young ladys' hat blows off; the "gent," in his eagerness to bring it back to the fair one, loses his umbrella, while she, in a vain attempt to prevent other garments from escaping, drops her books in the mud, and by the time all the articles are gathered up, the class arrives in the lecture room out of breath and all mud and wet. This may seem a little overdrawn; but to leave a warm room and go out into the cold, is needless exposure. It would cost but a trifle to build a covered walk from the main building to the laboratory, and I think I am safe in saying that the entire chemistry class would hail its building with joy FRANCIS.
EDITOR VIEWS:—In the last issue of your paper I read an article on the subject of billiards and billiard players, as an answer to an article which appeared in the issue before. The writer begins by saying that the former writer "made some rash and truthless assertions."
Now, I think that that statement applies very neatly to its own author, especially when he says that the billiard playing students "are every whit as good as can be found in the University." I emphatically deny it.
If the writer wishes to mention names and compare them, I am perfectly willing to do so.
His language is such that one would think he frequented the billiard halls himself, hence he must think a great deal of himself by saying that the billiard players are the best in the school.
He says he "does not wish to argue for billiard playing when carried to an extreme point." Then he would better keep silent, for the subject is billiard playing as it is practiced by the students in Lawrence, and by them I think it is carried to a very extreme point.
He says it is a relaxation, is harmless and innocent. Yes, you are innocent when you get home and your father asks you if you are guilty of this act.
I will warrant you, Mr. Editor, that seventy-five per cent. of the students who play billiards are doing it without their parents' knowledge or consent.
Only last year was one of our young bloods led out of a billiard hall, on his ear, amid the reddest blushes of shame, by his paternal ancestor, who happened in upon him.
When he says it is a relaxation, I suppose he means that the best thing a fellow can do when he has got his lessons is to go down town, and with a stick, punch one ball and make it hit two others for about an hour.
My friend, shoulder a shot gun with me to-morrow and I will give you enough relaxation to last you a month.
He says it is harmless. I deny it.
It is a harm to him financially; for as a general rule when a student says, "Let's have a game," it means three or four and sometimes even ten and fifteen, which costs considerable money.
If five boys each spend twenty-five cents a day—and we all know that about six times that many do spend, twice that much daily for billiards—at the end of forty weeks it would amount to three hundred dollars—enough to fit up a base ball and a foot ball team in the finest kind of style.
It is a harm to him because it takes up time which, if he would apply to something else, would be more advantageous to him.
"He is not only idle who is not at work, but he is also idle who might be better employed."
Now, Mr. Editor, if I have "made a miss-cue" or "englished on the wrong side," I am sorry I have taken up your space, but I would like to have it understood by people who happened to read the last issue of your most worthy paper, that there are some students in the University of Kansas who think that the art of billiard playing is degrading.

eet.
Among the first of our exchanges stands the Wabash, from Crawfordsville, Indiana. Its editorial column is strong, and the editorials are as they should be, on college subjects. Its local pages are better than those of any other papers we have seen. But over the whole paper there is a feeling of superiority, and we should judge that the paper is run by men of ability and hard workers, but whose prejudice sometimes gets the better of them. It pays the following glowing tribute to the Courier: "Some of the articles have the tone of a disappointed grumbler, who perhaps is outside of the mystic circle because he can't help it. The Courier, however, is one of the best received by us.
The News-Letter, from Grinnell, Iowa, is on our table. It is poorly printed, and in very bad form. The reading matter, however, is of high character.
Yale students have the reputation of smoking between 2,000 and 3,000 cigarettes daily.
The jury system at Bowdoin, which aims to place the power of college government more in the hands of the students, has been proved wise and successful by the past year's experiment.
Our eastern exchanges are mixed with athletic reports, and our western exchanges, almost without exception, are clamoring for athletic associations, gymnasiums, etc. From the reports in our best exchanges we are led to believe that the athletic sports as carried on in our eastern colleges are productive of more harm than good. They are participated in by few students, and are carried on to such an extent as to make the participants almost professionals. In the contest between the colleges the excitement runs so high that all other work is made secondary to the training for the contest. We believe that if our western exchanges would cease howling about athletic associations and devote their time and energy to building up strong lecture associations, it would result in more good to themselves and their colleges than could possibly be derived from athletic associations.
The New Haven, Conn., Register says: "Two car loads of cigarettes and a bundle of text books were switched off upon the side track at the depot yesterday. College begins to-day."
The Freshman class at Wittenburg University has elected among its other officers a class chaplain. Let our'88 not be behind its eastern neighbor.
The average salary of college professors in the U. S. is $1,500.
Amherst is soon to dedicate the finest gymnasium in the world. It cost with all its equipments over $88,000.
The average standing of the girls at the Harvard Annex is higher than that of the men of the University.

One of the college papers tells a story of President Hopkins. The president, meeting on a car a student whose character for sobriety was not good, and whose appearance was an evidence of a recent debauch, approached him and solemnly and reproachfully said, "Been on a drunk?"

A colored gentleman, realizing his equality, was heard to exclaim on the streets yesterday: "De Publicans ain't gwan ter buy my vote no mor' for one dollar, when dey pays two for Democrats in Indiana!"
There is one thing we would protest against in the Senior orations. They are too commonplace, too matter of fact. Greece and Rome do not fall enough, and the "art gallery of the skies" is escaping notice.
Dr. Lippincott is much pleased with the effect that his Friday morning's lecture executed upon the behavior of the students Friday night. It is noticeable that the Doc's religious influence is becoming powerful over the boys. Even Lindsey is reforming.
John, said Mr. B., to the Garnett dude, "What would you take to stay alone all night on the dome of the University?"
"What is the difference between my girl and vegetable soup?" asked Sophomore C——of Freshman D——.

The "storm flag" over Leis' drug store, of which we spoke in our last issue, is not managed by Prof. Snow. On the contrary, the professor declined to take charge of it. The changes in weather which it is supposed to show, are indicated by dispatches from the U.S. signal stations. In this country there are very few such posts, and not near enough to make predictions accurate. So Prof. Snow refused to undertake the work, which must of necessity be very uncertain.
"Suppose," said Prof. Marvin to Franklin, in examination, the other day, "that you had built an engine from the ground up, and were sure that all the machinery was perfect, but when you put it on the road, the pump would not draw water, what would you do?"
"You say that all the machinery was in perfect order," asked Franklin, for he did not want to go ahead until he was sure he was right.
"Yes," replied the Prof.
"Then I'd till the water tank," he naturally replied.

Hallowe'en came and went almost without a sensation. Probably the nearest to such a state was the sublime stupidity of a few "citizens," who seemed to think that all mischief and meanness was condensed into the students, and made noisy demonstrations of what they would do. The city played a Hallowe'en joke on itself to the time of fifty dollars, and the cops showed their usual retiring disposition. A savage, contemptible attack on the University in the morning Journal fair bid to call forth a retaliatory measure by the students, but considering the irresponsible source from which the offensive display sprang, the bold (?) boys were left to rest unharmed. A few of the students strove to keep up old customs by serenading the profs, but the effect of the music (?) was so great, and the lack of leaders so apparent, that the crowd soon dispersed, much to the relief of Lawrence's famous police force. The force of the Coroner's protest against the usual Hallowe'en jokes was apparent, and the conduct of the evening was not disturbed at all. There was not even a sign of a last year's outbreak.
JATRIKOS.—The society will hold its regular meeting at the office of Dr. Russ, this evening. The meetings have become very interesting, and the members all take an interest in them and try to make the exercises profitable as well as enjoyable. This evening the following program will be rendered. "The fore-arm," E. A. Gildemeister; "Materia Medica," W. W. Russ; "Chemistry of the Muscles," H. E. Riggs; "The Head," T. H. Rockwell. Any students who anticipate the study of medicine, and who would like to become members of the society are requested to hand their names to the secretary, T. H. Rockwell.
The Lecture Association is now probably finally established. Last Friday the literary societies resolved to turn the matter over to the Oratorical Association. A committee from that body met one from the faculty and a basis for organization was agreed upon substantially as follows: The governing power of the association to be vested in equal committees from Oratorical Association and faculty; the faculty to assume one-half of all liabilities up to one hundred and fifty dollars; the Oratorical Association to receive all assets; lectures to be held in opera house, and reduced rates to students. There was no hitch in making the arrangements, and all will probably go on harmoniously. A strong effort will be made to obtain the best lecturers in the country, and make it a permanent success. All students should unite in assisting the association to carry the course through without trouble.
The class in chemistry laboratory practice, under Prof. Bailey, are doing excellently.
While raising the telescope the other day, Prof. Nichols discovered something which he claims none else has ever seen. It is very dim at present, but the professor says it can be seen by the naked eye in about a month or six weeks, provided Jep Davis doesn't shave his upper lip.
After a pleasant German lunch last Friday the Velingencht adjourned to the chapel. The meeting was called to order by the president, Miss Clara Poehler. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read by the secretary, Fannie Pratt. The following program was rendered: Essay, Edith Manley; declamation, Jennie Sutliff; reading, Evelyn Smith; declamation, May Manly; reading, May Stimpson.

A very large assembly filled the Oread ball last Friday, in anticipation of hearing Prof Fulton give a declamation. The Prof. was there, and presented a humorous selection, which caused laughter and loud applause. Two pieces of instrumental music were furnished by W. S. Dick, of the Orophilian society. A trio, consisting of Misses Pratt, Manley and Sutliff, supplied the vocal music. After recess the debate on the question, Resolved, That St. John was patriotic in running for president, was supported on the affirmative by Talbott and Preston; on the negative by Crane and Yeager. The decision of the judges stood two in favor of the negative, one for the affirmative. The order throughout the meeting, to say the best, was bad. The ladies as well as the gentlemen, seemed to forget themselves and indulged in a great deal more talking than was really necessary. The society had its usual drill in parliamentary law.

The Baldwin students who persisted in hallooing and disturbing the speakers at the Democratic ratification last Tuesday evening, showed their lack of sense and want of good breeding. We would be sorry to have to acknowledge that any of the boys of this "infidel school" would be guilty of such ungentlemanly conduct as were some of our good Methodist brethren on the aforesaid evening.

Tuesday evening the Y. M. C. A. began a course of lectures on practical subjects, which ought to be well attended by our students. Prof. Canfield is the first, with a series of "talks" on land and its ownership. His first talk was listened to by a number of young men, with the greatest interest, and besides being full of new and valuable information, was also excellent as a stimulant to further study of the subject outside of the lecture room. Prof. Canfield will continue next Tuesday.
The boys of the U. B. D. "hash foundry" agreed among themselves that in case Cleveland should be elected the Democrats would "set up" the oysters, but if Blaine should be the lucky man the Republicans would stand the treat. Cleveland's election having been conceded last Saturday, the supper was served in the evening. Prof. Conrod, of the Business College, joined, and favored the boys with a short speech.
A few years ago President Cleveland made an offer of marriage to a lady in Buffalo; but she refused, and gave her hand and heart to a commission merchant. Oh that she had had the gift of prophesy.

To say it was a fine effort from a young under graduate of the State University at Lawrence, would not do it justice, as it might after all leave the impression that it was of the unfledged Sophomoric style, that is pleasant enough on the college platform, but unsuited to the stern realities of a meeting of voters called together to consider the interests of a great national election. Mr. Doran's speech was earnest, argumentative and logical, and when he addressed his Irish fellow citizens and plead with them to vote for the great party that here and everywhere stands for true manhood and the rights of humanity, his words burned with the fire of genuine eloquence. We congratulate our young friend heartily upon his debut in the field of politics.

MOTTO. —Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kansas, as second class matter.
. .
The failure in the Lecture Association lay in the fact that there was no one to take the lead in the matter.
On third page we have the pleasure of presenting our readers a quite carefully prepared directory of the business houses of Lawrence. It is not wholly complete, but the greater part of the common wants of life can be supplied from the list as it appears.
--that of any one at Topeka during the session. Your work will make that of the University many times easier and surer than otherwise.
At different times in the history of our state all-knowing, would-be statesmen, have declaimed against a professor of the University taking part in a political canvass, or even advocating ideas which he in common with a great many held to be correct. As if the acceptance of a chair in the faculty robbed a man of his rights as a citizen and intelligent voter. On the contrary, a professor has the same right to assert his ideas and explain his position in matters in which he with other citizens is interested, as any other citizen of the state.
Before the election we refrained from advising the students in regard to voting, but we see no good reason why a student should be prohibited from voting on national issues, and we believe provision should be made for them in this state as well as in others.
On local issues there is no good reason for allowing them to vote, as they are not especially interested, and trouble may arise from their being allowed to vote for state senator here and at Baldwin. Some provision should be made by our state law to enable students to vote on national and state politics, but not on local.
We would reiterate our former appeal to the alumni and all who have at any time enjoyed the advantages of K. S. U. The senators and representatives who will make up the next legislature should be seen in the interest of the University Take time and go to, the member from your district, and lay before him the needs of your alma mater. Talk to him for liberal appropriations for the ensuing years, which will enable the University of Kansas to make further strides in the direction of progress. Talk to him of our already celebrated department of natural history, and the necessity for another building to accommodate it in its rapid growth. Your influence will be greater than
How frequent is the complaint, our University library "is so small." This is very true, but it is as choice as it is small. We have good reference books in history and sn science, and in literature there is a good collection. In looking through the alcoves we found several books, the leaves of which were uncut. A volume of De Quincy as yet unread, and as we clipped the pages of this master of descriptive English, we wondered if the above complainers realized what treasures were as yet unfolded, even in our comparatively small library.
By the way, what a pleasure it is to cut the leaves of a book. To you it is like exploring an undiscovered country; and if the ideas are separate the expectancy and surmise as to what is to follow, furnishes a pleasurable excitement. If you wish to test this there is ample opportunity, as there are many books still in the University library, the leaves of which have never been turned.
---
Our motto, "Fraternity Rule Must be Broken," was chosen because we believed there was a call for such in the K. S. U. When such a state of affairs exists as did last year, where in an attendance of nearly 600 students the general college politics was controlled by less than 100 of such. When the college journal which we were asked to support was presented to us the first of this year, with a staff containing but one representative of this large body of non-fraternity students, we with a unanimous voice said something must be done. It was this state of affairs which gave and is giving the Courier the unprecedented support ever given a paper in the University, which we are now receiving. It is this support which has placed the Courier within the list of six at least, of the best weekly college papers in the United States. We say this without ostentation: our issue of last week surpassed any one of these, our competitors, in general merit of news matter and artistic make up.
"The advancement of the Cotrier is unprecedented." This is true, but is only the natural sequence of affairs as they existed. A more enterprising body of students than those of the K. S. U., are not in a college in the country. There have been run with the support of but one-third to one-fifth of them, one and two very creditable magazines, for years. When the Cotrier then organized so that it received four times this support, why should it not take this front rank! This answers itself. We say the fraternities of the K. S. U., with the policy they have sustained for years past, have been a blight to student's enterprise. Throttled now in their "rule," the old "rut" lost, the K. S. U. will in future be known more of in our eastern colleges.
Billiards may be a fascinating subject, but we would remind the "Boys" that "to much of a good thing is too much." Try some other topic for a time, and give billiards a little rest.
---
The editor of the Views column would request any student or alumnus interested in the University to freely use this column to express his ideas as to the necessities, advantages, conduct, etc., of the University.
VIEWS
EDITOR VIEWS:—A man who expects to take any active part in political life ought to have a good knowledge of parliamentary law. I suppose three-fourths of our students have aspirations in that line. In the University course there is no provision for such training, and the average student completes his work with at most but a very scant idea of parliamentary law. The literary societies are supposed to partially fill this want. But the facts are that there is not only very little such drill, but whenever there is any, there are but a few who take part. The great majority of the members sit back "tired" at the noisy demonstrations, and the few who do take an interest will override Roberts, the constitution and common decency, if they have a majority. So in common with a number of other students, with whom I have spoken on the subject, I think that a class in parliamentary law, under a competent instructor, would be a popular and useful addition to the curriculum. No outside study would be required, and the class need meet but twice a week, so other studies need not be slighted. OREAD.
EDITOR VIEWS:—I dislike to ask so frequently for the use of your columns, but as you seem willing to hear from all of the "Boys," I beg leave to answer a couple of articles in your last issue in regard to billiards.
The first writer indulges in another tirade of abuse against those who play billiards, and applies his adjectives as vigorously as indiscriminately. Again let me repeat my remark, that billiard playing carried to excess is injurious. So is studying, athletic exercise and society, all of which the gentleman would no doubt defend when carried on in a temperate manner. The objections which he urges do not apply at all to my argument.
The second champion writes all around the subject, much to his own satisfaction, and finally concludes with a sweeping statement about the degrading character of billiards. He also is looking at the extreme case, to which I object.
I do not write this as an argument,
but merely to show how the fearless
champions have been setting up straw
men and knocking them down, each
time exclaiming, "See what a big boy
am 1." SAME OLD BOY.
AN OLD "BARB."
EDITOR COURTER:—Am pleased to see the generous support you are receiving from the non-fraternity element of the University. Of course you deserve this, but against the "frats" it has always been hard work to continue heretofore. But you are "downing" them now. Is not another point against them that they have attempted to build up an aristocracy, making those who could not get into them feel as though they were not in the first rank socially of the University? This was nonsensical, of course, but has it not been so?
EXCHANGE.
The Swarthmore Phenix, from Penn., is on our table. It is a monthly, and is well filled with interesting literary articles.
The Michigan Argument is the best weekly received by us. This week's edition is taken up largely with reports of class elections. We see that they have a lecture association, and that a good lecture course has been decided upon. The course contains the following well known lecturers: Wendling, Beecher, Schurz, Proctor, Gath, etc.
The Badger keeps up its usual good standing. The Ephraim letters are getting a little old now, and should not be continued much longer.
As a rule college professors do but little talking in their classes. Recitations that may be rendered pleasant and attractive are usually dull and uninteresting. A good lecture or a square talk once or twice, a week would be of much interest to the students, and would offer a very pleasant variation from the regular grind.
One hundred and ninety college papers are published in the United States.
Of the 320 colleges and Universities in the U. S., but 24 have more than 200 students, and only 17 have more than 20 teachers.
We have received the University Press from Madison, Wisconsin. It is a neat sixteen page weekly. The University of Wisconsin is to be congratulated on having two such good papers as the Press and the Badger.
The Bethany Collegian is a fourteen page monthly from Bethany college. It is a little dry in the literary columns, but we like its general make up.
The Occident comes to us this week, bright and newsy as we say.
We take the following sentences from the Fortnightly Index, Madison, Wisconsin, and they apply as well in Kansas as in Wisconsin: "Have professors in state Universities the same political rights as other people? Are they at liberty to vote and argue according to their convictions, just as the coachman and farmer is free to do? However obvious the affirmative might appear on national grounds, there seems to be people who object to the appearance of such professors in the political arena. The state has never undertaken to prescribe opinions for a literary educated man, nor to suppress the expression of them. A professor holds his opinion, and would like to see them prevail simply because he is interested in the well being of the state and of humanity, and not because he expects to share any in the spoils of a political victory. We are weary of the spectacle of two-cent editors swinging the lash over the heads of citizens who understand their duties as well, and perform them as conscientiously as any of the public servants."
At the party: "Slow, isn't it?" "Yes, very."
"Let's go home."
"Can't, I'm the host."

Rev I. T. Hull, of Cameron, Mo., pastor of the Congregational church, brought his little daughter to Dr. Kimberlin, of the Eye and Ear Infirmary, to consult with him in regard to her eyes, which were extremely crossed. Dr. Kimberlin, after a careful examination, said they could be straightened. Assisted by the family physician, Dr. Irwin, in the presence of a reporter, the doctor was six minutes by the watch performing this delicate and skillful operation. This is the fifty-third case of cross eyes the doctor has successfully operated. The doctor says not more than 70 per cent, of cross eyes are cases for operation; if one of the little muscles is paralyzed operative interference would be sure to result in failure, or if an opacity or spot was almost covering the pupil, and the patient rolled the eye crossing trying to look around it, an operation to straighten it would surely fail, as also in certain conditions of error or refraction. In fact, it is oftentimes more difficult to determine when to operate, or how to treat a cross eye, than to perform the operation of cutting the little muscle. It the proper cases are selected and carefully operated, there need be no pain. The new operation is almost without pain.

The annual contest between the Oread and Orophilian societies will take place Friday evening, December nineteenth.
Oread has a good program this afternoon, and should have a good attendance. They now have a young lady president.
Prof. McDonald will give a concert in University chapel week after next. There will be no admittance fee.
Next Friday Oread will present an exceptional attraction on its program. Four young ladies will appear on the role of debaters, and no doubt put to shame the speakers from the sterner sex:
The faculty have found it expedient to add half a term of French and Greek to the present course. This will be the last half of the second term, and will be devoted to lectures on Grecian history.
The young gentleman who attended the Cyclone ball and came home at four A. M., tried to unlock his door with a pen knife, attempted to light a toothpick for a match and called his landlady "Dear Maggie" when she appeared on the scene, had evidently been an original Prohibitionist.
OROPHILIAN.—Readings, A. L. Burney, E. A. Gildemeister; declarations, Clara Greenameyer, E. F. Neal; extemporaneous speech, Nettie Hubbard; elective exercises, Will Cone, Maud Thrasher, A. L. Sloan; orations, Harry Radcliff, J. E. Curry, Webster Davis, Debate, question: Resolved, That the president of the U. S. should be elected by a direct vote of the people instead of being left to electors. Affirmative, H. F. Albert, J. Sullivan; negative, S. M. Cook, D. H. Linville.
A meeting of the class of '86 was held Friday week and the following officers were elected: President, J. E. Curry; vice president, Hattie B. Haskell; secretary, Clara Poacher; treasurer, Olin Templin; poet, P. R. Bennett; historian, A. L. Adams; prophet, J. D. McLaren; master of athletics, S. T. Gilmore. It was decided to give a class party, and a committee was appointed to make necessary arrangements. P. R. Bennett read the last two year's history of '86.
On account of the election of officers and the national election, the program of the Oread society was rather light. Miss Emery gave a
reading in such a manner as to show that careful preparation had been made. Miss Minnie Raught made her debut, reading "The Man With the Iron Mask." Miss Mankey's es-say on "Fools" was well written and well read, but was rather too appropriate to be appreciated. After recess the regular debate was taken up and discussed on the affirmative by Riggs and Gilmore; on the negative by Bales and Preston. The decision stood one and one-half in favor of the affirmative and one and one-half in favor of the negative. The general debate was somewhat heated, four or five of the most prominent members taking part. The election of officers being next on the program, the president called for nominations. One only was made. The rules were suspended, and Miss Nettie Brown elected by acclamation to the highest office in the gift of Oread. There was some difference of opinion when the vice president was voted upon, but Dent Dunn was declared the Hendricks of Oread, on the second ballot. Miss Emery was chosen secretary without any opposition, as was also the critic, Mr. Riggs. Such harmony was never before seen in Oread. Mr. Bennett gave notice that he would on the next Friday bring up for discussion the feasibility of incorporating the society under the state laws. We will give the result in our next issue.
The Junior class in colonial history has been examining the records of the colonies, and last week made a discovery which caused each little heart to beat high. In old times the students of Harvard had pie for supper. Not any of these two-for-a nickle geological specimens which Prof. Snow preserves in the museum, and which Lawrence boarding house keepers dish up at three-and-a-half a week, but the real two story, plate glass front and bay window variety. The class has always been noted for its brilliant ideas. To conceive was to execute. The young ladies constructed the edible, and Tuesday was the day appointed. For the first time in its history, the whole class was at recitation—at once. They came early. The Seniors and the Sophs were left to peramble the halls with the girls. All was forgotten, in the thirst for knowledge and pie. The pastry had been prepared by the original receipt, viz: One and one-quarter pounds dough, one- half peck of apples, one-eighth pound lard; sugar, salt and other condiments in abundance. The pies were large, the class small. They (the class) shuddered at the task At length, out of the goodness of their hearts, as there was too much for themselves, they invited the Seniors to assist. '85 overcame its usual bashfulness and accepted the invitation, first carefully examining the venerable relic to see which end was loaded. The feast opened with all in good trim. The trouble began when Little put in a petition for another piece, and Johnson's first round resulted in victory for the pie. Rock-well took the floor to discuss anatomy, but the pie rose to a point of order, and Tommy lost interest in further proceedings. So the battle went on, but glorious '86 and invincible '85 finally came out victorious. In the language of Prepdom, "they took the cake," or rather the pie.
Last Friday evening a number of Republican students were examining the returns from New York with woebegone faces, and many uncomplimentary remarks on the prime cause of the misfortune, St. John, when they determined to follow the fashion and show their appreciation of his services by a rope and bonfire. In a few moments a "St. John" was procured and triumphantly borne at the head of about a hundred students, to the University campus, the G. A. R. drum corps with muffled drums leading the march. The top of the hill reached, a good rope was found, and soon the "Saint" was dangling from the telephone pole. Services of eulogy (?) and song were gone through with fervor and enthusiasm, the match was applied, and the ashes next day bore witness to the regard of K. S. U. for "this second Judas." Even the Democrats joined in the procession When the last work was done the line marched down Massachusetts streets with drums and lifes playing, and attracting general attention by the number and appearance. Three cheers were given for Blaire and Logan, three groans for St. John and three cheers for prohibition, and then all dispersed.

MOTTO. — Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kansas, as second class mailer.
The optional system is doing away with required courses in many eastern colleges.
.
One of the good points in our University is the harmony which has always existed between faculty and students.
.
The principle of coeducation is gaining ground in spite of the old fogyism of some would-be "conservatives." Wabash will receive young ladies next year.
--has made the department thorough practical and popular. His discoveries in science have added to om fame.
Oread society has young ladies for officers. During the past year the boys have been running the mebine and have almost run it aground. The young ladies are called upon to help, and are responding nobly.
.
Almost every college in the United States is controlled by Greek letter fraternities.
Yale college used to have Greek and Latin salutatories for commencement. Owing to lack of interest in the classes both have been done away with.
It may "seem like a wail from the desert of forgetfulness," but we would like to call the attention of the students, faculty and regents of the University to the fact that we need a gymnasium. This can only be secured by the hearty cooperation of all; and perhaps as a petition for a $50,000 natural history building will be presented to the legislature, an appropriation for a gymnasium will be impossible, but it will do no harm to try it. At the proper time a petition will be circulated for this purpose. Let us live in hope if we do die in "despair," and perhaps our hope will not be in vain.
.
If there is any department in our University known better than another it is that of natural history. The professor in charge has won for himself a leading place on the list of America's scientists, by his patient, enthusiastic pursuit, and great success in his work. Prof. Snow is known all over the United States, and would be an honor to any institution. Only his love for Kansas and the University, with which he has been connected since its inception, have retained him here against the more advantageous offers which have come to him from eastern colleges. He
The department is now too large for the space allowed it. The cabinets are filled to overflowing, and valuable specimens are stored away. More room is required. And now the appeal is made to the legislature to recognize this necessity, and give us a natural history building worthy of the department and its professor. Certainly no money could be spent by the state with better or more permanent results. We hope our legislators will recognize its value, and add to our University a building devoted to natural history.
How strange it is that some of our students who are by nature best fitted to become leaders in their classes throw away their splendid chances, and waste their time and talent on trivial things, which should be beneath their notice.
This class, as a rule, learn easily and are considered brilliant during the first and perhaps through the second year, and then studies are neglected and faculty censure is sure to follow. If we could all only learn that "Life is real, life is earnest," and that as students we have already commenced our voyage, this class would cease to exist.
Those who waste their time and opportunity are not those who in the school-room of work-shop have labored, planned and toiled to obtain the "wherewithal," that they might have the advantages of a higher education, but they are the sons and daughters of loving parents, who have themselves labored, perhaps in this manner, that their child should not only be the heir of their property, but the possessor of a good education.
Who knows the sacrifices that are being made by kind and indulgent parents for some of K. S. U.'s students?
If there are any who have been wasting their opportunities and making this great sacrifice a mockery, let them consider well before they banish from their mind any thoughts (which are already taking form in resolutions) awakened by this sketch.
To "Old Barb" of last week we will say: "No, we hardly think, from present status of affairs, with the Counter booming as it is; that there is much "aristocracy" in the "frats." In fact, we are rather inclined to judge from their present standing that they are degenerating into the lower classes of the serfs."
. .
When the students go home Thanksgiving they should take a little time and interview their legislators in behalf of the University.

The musical department is rapidly becoming one of the foremost musical institutions of the west.
Prof. Brownell has taken a good step in offering the students additional instruction in oratory and exemple debating. This is a study long needed in our curriculum.

The interest in study is increasing since election.
Editor Views:—Your last issue contains some comments from the Fortnightly Index, on the right of professors to have opinions on political questions, as well as connelmen and farmers; and this is reinforced by an editorial of the same tenor.
VIEWS.
Such talk is getting old, dry, flat, stale, insipid, disgusting. The right of professors to hold whatever opinion under the sun he wishes, has never been denied. Their right to employ a public position supported by public friends, devoted to public interests, to enforce any political or religious tenet is denied, and is very strenuously denied.
There is no use beating around the bush and speaking in generalities, therefore we will be plain. A professor may be a Republican, Democrat, Greenbacker, Prohibitionist or Woman Suffragist, and no one can object to his holding a public chair on that account. He may be a Mormon, Catholic, Methodist, Juno or Infidel, and he has a perfect right, in common with all other men, to be of such faith. But he has not the right to advocate any of those doctrines in the class.
A few illustrations will serve to good purpose: Prof. Adams, of Michigan University, proclaims his free trade ideas to the students. Protectionists are justified in crying against their being taxed for such a purpose. Dr. Laws, of Missouri University, tells his scholars that the rebels were in the right and the union men in the wrong. The press does well in denouncing this infamous perversion of public place. A few years ago the Kansas University authorities denied the students the privilege of securing Robt. G. Ingersoll to lecture here, simply because the colonel was an infidel; and against this a protest went up from our students, though very few of them hold Ingersoll's religious ideas. Now, Prof. Adams has a perfect right to be a free trader, Dr. Laws a rebel and our professors high church men. But they cannot exercise the authority, delegated them by a common public, to influence students under their charge.
It is foolish to say these questions are not enforced upon the students, and that they are open to free discussion. Young people come to the University to be instructed, not to combat their professor's opinions. They naturally imbibe most of what is taught in the class rooms. Political and religious discussion is for the home and street, not for the school room.
Another thing. Most of the professors of political science in the United States are earnest advocates of civil service reform, the main principle of which is that public office shall not be made the means of propagating and perpetuating political tenets. And yet these same professors use their official positions to teach doctrines which are made the vital issues between great political parties. It is the teaching of these doctrines, not the holding of them, against which the press and people cry. R.
EDITOR VIEWS: Among the numerous societies of K. S. U, it seems to me there is room for a "society for the prevention of cruelty to animals." To starve and poison harmless animals (as I am informed is done in this University) in order to demonstrate old and well known facts, such as can be found in any text book, is not only needlessly and wickedly cruel, but also furnishes the strongest possible argument against intrusting the power to inflict pain and death upon even the meanest of the animal world into such unworthy hands. Against such practices, both humanitarians and true votaries of science should protest.
E. M.
EXCHANGE
The University Mirror, from Lewisburg, Pa., is on our table. It is a monthly, well edited, and poorly printed. It holds up its hands in horror because the Corner does not bow down and worship that truly good man, George William Curtis.
The College Rambler, though limited in size, is well filled with choice articles. Every department is good, and the general make up is excellent.
The Wesleyan Bee, from Bloomington, Ill., is before us. It is the first college paper we have seen that is illustrated. The illustrations are poor and seem to us entirely out of place in a college paper. Its local and personal columns are excellent, and the other departments are fair.
"The University Courier, of Kansas, is an enterprising sheet, but it opposes the fraternity system with a zeal worthy a better cause. If the Courier would cease its hostility to the Greeks, no doubt it would be a better paper. It is behind the times on that subject."
The above is taken from the Westleyan Bee, and contains too many errors to the square inch to be allowed to pass uncorrected. In the first place, the Courier does not "oppose the fraternity system." The Courier staff contains fraternity men, and men who labor hard for the success of their fraternity. We believe that when properly conducted a fraternity is an excellent institution; but when conducted as some of them in K. S. U. have been, they would be a disgrace to any college. When fraternities mite and try to secure all honors by excluding the "barbs" it is time something was being done. The affairs of K. S. U. were in this state when the Courier motto was adopted, and the motto will remain until the evil has been fully removed, and the "barb" attains his true position in college life. In the second place, we are not "behind the times." We are rather ahead of the times, for people are just beginning to find out that there is some ability outside of the fraternities, and that a man can be a "barb" and still have some rights which even fraternities are bound to respect. We write this in order to correct the impression that has got abroad that the Courier is opposed to fraternities. We hope our exchanges will notice this, and remember our position on the fraternity question.
The plan initiated by Williams College, of having the protection as well as the free trade view of the tariff question presented to its students, has also been adopted by Harvard. Although it is unlikely that our University purse could at present stand the expense of another professorship in political economy, we cannot avoid the wish that we might enjoy such double instruction. Michigan Argument.

The Phi Gamms entertained their lady friends in their new hall last Friday night. A pleasant evening was spent enjoying the maze dance, and then an adjournment was made to Pershall's.
Several students of the musical department have formed what they call the Mozart club. The first meeting was held at Miss Eva Howe's. Miss Alice Ropes was elected president ; Miss Orvel Highbargain secretary and treasurer.

Soon after the "boy" sent home an "itemized expense account," in compliance with a demand from his paternal ancestor which read, "board and washing for the month ending November 15th, eighty dollars," he received a check for that amount, and also a few words from the "old gentleman, expressing the hope that "you may not wear soiled linen or run down in flesh."
The following are the items for the next appropriation bill, as prepared by the board of regents:

An Observer's Thought.
I saw them last night, leaving the gate—
Two thistle-down bangs side by side—
You might know by the little round cap on his pate
That he would be a bicycle ride;
And you might have known too, by the gum in her
cheek,
And her flyaway hat, and the red
Little head underneath, that her mind she could
speak
In case there was aught to be said.
Well, there still she stood, with her mouth full of
gum,
And a yummy yum look in her eyes.
With a tongue that went on with a plaining milk*
gum.
Or a phonogram in for a prize;
But I thought, as I heard then exchanging their
vows
And indulging in love's happy dream,
I would rather lute out to keep off the cows.
Than provide that same girl with ice cream.
As election is over, we deem it safe to announce the politics of our staff. Three of the editors wear white plug hats, or would if they could get them, and shouted for Cleveland. One editor boldly stood up and voted (?) for the people's candidate, Ben Butler. Five are Republicans of different hues, mostly blue since the election, and one is a stalwart Republican. This may account for the seemingly divided policy of the different departments, and while the Democrats point to the election of Cleveland as proof of the influence of the Courier, the Republicans shout over John A. Martin and Kansas.
The attendance at Oread last Friday was not very large, but the program, with one exception, was filled. Miss Shepherd's declamation was well given as far as she went; the piece, however, went about three vereses farther. Miss Hunnicut spoke in her usually charming manner, showing care in preparation, as well as natural ability. A lengthy piece of poetry on marriage was read by Miss Moore, much to the amusement of the society. The essays of Miss Ropes and Chas. Miller were well written, and equally well read. Will Brown, having spent too much time ratifying Blaine's election, had not committed his oration, but was allowed to read it. The regular debate on the "jury system" question was taken up after recess, and supported on the affirmative by Dunn and Gilmore; on the negative by Bennett and Morgan. The judges favored the affirmative two to one. Miss Nettie Brown, who was elected president last week, presided, and by the appointing of committees, etc., showed herself to be very much in favor of woman's rights. Miss Laura Lyons was appointed sargent-atarms. Mr. Bennett was not prepared to submit his proposition this week, in regard to incorporating the society under the state laws.
Taking Boarders.
To those who think 'tis time well spent,
And money just as good as lent
By taking boarders.
We'll tell you what we know about it.
And after that if you still doubt it.
Just try some boarders.
First, till your landers to the brim.
Put all room in perfect trim.
Then get your boarders.
We have a choice. yes, this is true.
There often is when the least also;
In taking boarders;
Those who have come from pima green.
Who little of the world have seen.
We'll try for boarders.
These, surely, can't be hard to please,
who little know of injuries;
These, for our boarders.
But just right here is our mistake:
They don't know sponge from johnny cake.
These vert篮er boards.
And so they can till running o'er.
And even then they'll ask for more.
Because they're boarders.
But here are some with gentile air.
Who can appreciate good fire.
We'll try for boarders.
Once more, also! we've tried in vain.
Once more, also! we've tried again.
In taking boarders.
Them masters, like a cloak they wear,
To doff or don in weather fair
Or foul, at pleasure.
They feel you're making quite a "speek."
If you have else than surlinn steak,
E each morn for breakfast;
They'll sometimes fast till dinner.
Then eat a chop; but what's the winner?
"Tis not the boarder.
If you but make your food and fuel,
They'll make you think it is quite cruel,
such price for boarders.
While if you make five cents a meal
"Tis equal to an 'F.' Wand's steal,
These painful boarders.
Now, you think "There's millions in I
Consider well ere you begin it!
This is boarder.
Take with content your salt and porridge.
Each avaricious thought discourage,
And take boarders.

Last Friday week the Betas gave a very pleasant social entertainment in their furnished hall. A short literary program was given, after which the guests were initiated into the mysteries of "carving the dorg." This proved to be no light task, yet when 'twas accomplished all felt the better for the exertion. The entertainment as a whole was a new venture in the social line, but was nevertheless a great success.
The marriage ceremony which united Dr. Harry M. Downs, of Kansas, to Miss Lillian Campbell, of Michigan, took place a few days ago at the residence of the bride's parents, at Monroe.

Downs, at her home, in Wyandotte, for a few days, and then go to Southern Kansas to reside, where Dr. Downs is located.—Kansas City Times.

MOTTO. — Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken
Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kansas, as second class matter.
Among the locals this week will be found several cat(o)logical squibs.
We hope all patrons of the Courier will enjoy their turkey. We, at least, will not have a crow diet.
The Courier always endeavors to keep ahead of the times, so here we are two days before our regular publication day.
--gentlemen, in the near future how nice it will be. We fear, however that the great ladies' school on the banks of the Hudson will ever remain such. Too bad!
The holidays which break into a term are generally disastrous in results upon study. It generally takes a week to recover from the effects.
By the way, does it look as though the business men were "frowning down" this "organ of a clique and faction."
There are still a few shares of COURER stock for sale. First come, first served. Secure your reserved seats in the COURER Company before it is "everlastingly too late."
The editorial in the COUCHER in regard to contests and prizes, has been favorably commented upon by several college journals. All agree in the many bad results which spring therefrom.
Reporters elected in the different societies will confer a favor upon us by handing in their reports as soon as possible after each meeting. We wish reports from every society and organization connected with the University.
The custom of passing students without examinations when a certain per cent. of term standing was obtained, has been introduced into several eastern colleges with advantage. Those of our professors who adopted it last year testify to the better results. Why was it abolished?
We hope that the girls of the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, will not entrust themselves "to the mercy of such unworthy hands" as they ascribe to the now indignant medics.
Co-education is gaining ground both east and west. With such co-educational institutions as Cornell and Ann Arbor, there is little room for complaint from the fair sex. If Vassar and Smith will only admit
--bro boys, able ra
As free as our University is from restraint, there is still one point in its management we wish were different.
Though great latitude is given, and the student is practically free, yet we have virtually a system of compulsory attendance at recitation and lecture.
With optional attendance at recitation, it is always with the understanding that at the end of the term there shall be exhaustive examinations in every subject of study for the term.
It would improve the school because it would necessitate the employment of such men as professors as were able not only to follow and correct a recitation with the text book before them, but to interest the student and give him enlarged views of the subject. It is well known that in our own institution learners are driven to some classes by University rules, like prisoners to their tasks, and for what? That they may graduate. Now if the attendance were optional, there would be a weeding out of some professors (?) or their recitation rooms would be vacant, and so the reputation of the institution mined.
The grade of students in the higher classes would be improved, because only the fittest would go through. Those who were attending to obtain a liberal education would apply themselves more assiduously than ever, and those who were attending because they were sent, would be dropped out, and probably circumstances would carry them to their own place. If the student knows that when the test comes it is to be searching and complete, he will make preparation (by some means) accordingly, and not trust to getting such questions as acceptable answers may be given to without much searching and definite knowledge.
In conclusion we would quote the words of an exchange: "Optional attendance at recitations would strengthen the characters of the young by exercising their judgments and making their own welfare dependent on their own decision."
It is, moreover, a fact that coercion in matters of education, after the boy has become a man, and the girl a woman, is worse than useless, and we have the Universities of France and Germany as examples of this system of optional attendance at lecture and recitation.
*Practical plans for an Athletic Association agitated, to culminate in a successful organization.
*The equal of this issue as a college paper.
What the Courier Would Be
Pleased to See.
*An "Amusement Association" formed, to take in hand a course of entertainments for the coming winter.
"The "chief" of the fraternity which claims to be the "most powerful in the K. S. U."
A roller skate polo club organized within the University, to compete with such teams as the state may offer the coming winter.
*The law department a little stronger than it is.
VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS.—I saw a communication in your last week's paper which hardly requires an answer. The writer seems to think that a doctor can become efficient in his profession without a knowledge of anatomy, and so raises a cry against dissection of animals. He should know that a text book does not begin to take the place of practical experience. That a good idea of the anatomy of a body cannot be obtained from a mere description, but the conscientious student will perfect himself in that branch with practical work in dessection. What would the kind soul think if a medical school turned out upon an unprotected public a crowd of "doctors" whose only knowledge of the human frame was obtained from a book? Methinks even he would prefer a medical attendant who knew for certain where was every bone, muscle and organ, and could judge of what was best for an injury or disease. Doc.
EDITOR VIEWS: In every literary contest between societies or single persons, there has always been great dissatisfaction with the judges' decision. Last June the literary societies tried with great success the plan of a joint exhibition. Now why not do away with the judges' decision in the other contest as well? Nothing comes of it except dissatisfaction and hard feeling. This subject has been spoken of before, but I would like to see it urged forward with success.
PAX.
EDITOR VIEWS:- Your last issue contains a call for a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, because the writer thereof has been informed that it is the practice in our University to starve and poison harmless animals in order to demonstrate old and well known facts, such as can be found in any text books.
The writer thereof was misinformed. I have taken pains to find the truth of this matter by interviewing Profs. Snow, Dyche and Bailey, and the medical and natural history students. I find these to be the facts:
1. No vivisection is, or has been, practiced.
3. Some cats and dogs are killed by chloroform, which is considered a painless death.
2. No animals are, or have been, starved.
4. No animal is tortured and none are killed without chloroform, except—
5. In toxicology, in the last half of the spring term, some poisons are given to a few cats that the medical students may note the effects, and thereby be able to save human life. These cats are killed as quickly as possible. For a justification of this experiment, see Prof. Bailey, or any doctor.
7. The Professors, and the medical and natural history students of our University, are not "unworthy hands."
6. No human subjects are dissected.
8. "The bravest are the tenderest," and the above gentlemen protest as strongly as "E.M." against needlessly inflicting pain, or wickedly cruel death, upon any animal.

EXCHANGE.
The Baldwin Index comes to us this year in a new form. It is much improved both inside and out. The spirit of will-it-please-the-faculty seems to pervade the whole paper. A college paper should try to throw off this feeling, and act in a perfectly independent manner.
The Normal News, from the Michigan Normal School, is on our table. It is an excellent paper in its line.
The October number of the Indiana Student is at hand. We think one small tragedy hardly enough literary matter for a monthly paper. According to the Student the "Barbs have made an ugly invasion at Kansas University, and captured the Courier." Not so, Mr. Student, the Barbs have only secured their rights and true position in college life.
We see by the Monmouth Collegian that a new paper, the Student's Journal, has been started at Bloomington, Ill. We will gladly welcome the Journal to our table.
Given, eight fraternities, three societies, two factions, one row. Required, the sum total of good and evil in terms of the greatest rationality. Indiana Student.
The University of Cairo is said to be 900 years older than Oxford. Ten thousand students are being educated there for missionaries of the Moslem faith.
Union College has conferred the degree of LL D. upon Pres, Arthur.
"Eighteen," says Pres. Porter, "is the proper age to enter college."
Ex-President Woolsey has offered his resignation as member of the Yale corporation, on account of his advanced age and increasing deafness. The venerable ex-president will be eighty-three years old on the last day of this month, and has been connected with the college almost continuously for sixty-seven years.

"We can never find the exact value of 'Pi.'" said the professor in mathematics, and the club man said it must be mighty small. He never found any value at all in the pie which he ate.
"What do you think of my mustache?" asked a young man of his girl.
"Oh, it reminds me of a western frontier city," was the answer.
"In what respect, pray?"
"Because the survey is large enough, but the settlers are straggling.

LOCAL.
Supt. Parish says that if those girls who carried off the University cats do not return them there will soon be not enough chairs left in the cloak room for the girls to stand on when the mice run over the floor. Chancellor Lippincott has reminded us that there is a law against stealing State property.
OREAD. — Declamation, Luella Moore, Anna Shepard; reading, Hattie Dunn, G. W. Harrington; essay, Minnie Raught, W. Y. Morgan; oration, B. C. Preston, Frank Talbot; debate, question: *Resolved*. That congress should enact legislation to restrict foreign emigration; affirmative, Cyrus Crane, H. E. Riggs; negative, D. J. Dunn, W. L. Kerr.
In the Views column of last week was an appeal in behalf of animals, which did not come in vain. The medics were melted to pity for the unfortunate beasts which had fallen under their power, and forthwith organized a "society for the prevention of cruelty to animals." Rockwell was elected president, he being the most tender hearted. Meetings are held every afternoon, and much good will result therefrom. Thus does the influence of the great religious weekly prevail.
Do those ladies who send up such a pitiful cry at the killing of a kitten "for scientific purposes," consider that the Porter House steak that they find so easily taken on these chilly mornings once roamed these boundless prairies on the back-bone of a living ox? Do they consider, also, that it would be as impossible to become an expert physician by simply reading, as it would be to satisfy hunger by simply looking over a cook book? "And he shall have dominion, etc., etc."
OROPHILIAN.—On last Friday afternoon the capacious hall of the Orophilians was filled with the usual large and appreciative audience. The program before recess consisted of well prepared literary exercises interspersed by excellent music. After recess the society met as a senate, thirty-three states being represented. One hour was spent in an interesting and profitable debate on the "Telegraph System Bill." The session of the society was much disturbed by the disorderly and ungentlemanly conduct of an invincible demagogue, pretending to represent the Democracy of Georgia. Through the leniency of the society he escaped the severe punishment he so richly deserved. Be it said to the credit of Orophilian, "There are no frictions there." The sentiment of all was unanimous in condemning and censuring the conduct of this imperious solidisant. The career of Orophilian so far this year has been most commendable and prosperous, and the zeal and unanimity with which all her members labor, bespeak for her a still more successful future.
OREAD.—Vice president Dunn called the meeting to order. Miss Thompson gave a piano solo. The regular program followed: Declamations, E. M. Cox, D. J. Dunn; essay, Miss Edith Manley; reading, Mamie Gardner; orations, J. A. Shanafelt, B. C. Preston. Cyrus Crane favored (?) the society with a music box solo. Cyrus has great
"talons" for music. After recess Miss Haskell sang a song, and Miss Bell followed with a piano solo. The regular debate was then taken up. Miss Manley was the first speaker on the affirmative, and set forth many reasons why congress should not make any more appropriations for the purpose of exploring the polar regions. Miss Pratt followed on the negative, and showed very clearly that many points made by the affirmative were not well founded. But when Miss Haskell took the floor these points were re-established, and new ones brought out. Miss Brown, the last speaker on the negative, then arose, and with eloquence seldom found in the fairer sex, again broke down the arguments of her opponents. Miss Manley had five minutes in which to close the debate, and as she quoted from the "Ladies Bazar" and "Godey's Magazine" instead of confining herself to "Harper's Bazar," as her opponents had done, the judges rendered decision in favor of the affirmative. Adjectives in all their degrees played a prominent part in the debate.
Geological Survey of Kansas.
Dr. R. J. Brown, president of the Kansas Academy of Science, spoke to the Academy and the citizens of Lawrence, in University hall, on Monday evening. He presented the arguments for the proposed geological survey of Kansas in an unostentatious but masterly manner.
He said that a geological survey is not a naturalist's collecting tour nor a topographical survey, but a careful investigation of the resources of the state. Everything found below the surface is to be explored. By the sinking of shafts the areas, depths and quality of the coal, lead, zinc, clay, chalk, lime and other minerals are to be determined, and our citizens informed of the best methods of developing these resources. Analyses of the soil will tell the farmer of lacking elements or of great fitness for certain crops. The rainfall of the state is to be observed, with reference to distribution and influence upon it of plowed land and trees. The temperature of the state is to be noted, and all else about climate, to lay the foundation of a science of the weather, by which storms may be foretold. The habits of noxious insects and remedies therefor are to be studied. The feasibility of artesian wells, coa and other mines are to be determined
The knowledge gained is to be disseminated by reports and county maps, which shall show the coals, brick and pottery clays, building stones, soils, metals, and the cost and best methods of utilizing the same. The money needed is $100,000 for a period of ten years.
In Kansas we know really nothing of our resources. The digging of a well has in each case led to the discovery of our coal, zinc, water, lime and gas springs. A systematic sinking of shafts and explorations of outcrops would lead to vast results. In other States the geological survey was the beginning of a period of increased prosperity. It will be so with us. It is to be hoped that our next legislature will begin to make the necessary appropriations to be extended over a series of years.
