Do you recall that night in May, Union the Kansas river?
You know we closely hugged—the shore

And hugging that, I hugged—the oar ; And that made your homes shiver.
Do you recall that night in May,
Upon the Kansas river?
We thought we'd surely blow away,
And that made my bone shiver.
I don't know why that shiver ran
Through all my bones, but never, never
Will I get o or that scare that night,
Upon the Kansas river.
And that made your bones shiver.
And when at last we reached the shore.

Ah then! 'Iwas another thing';

And hugging that man, I wuggle.
And that made your bones shiver.

Our Circulation.
The COCHER began its weekly publications the first of the year under quite adverse circumstances. In four months, the beginning of the new year, we are proud to be able to show a circulation of 1,000.
Before another year is rung in we promise our readers a better paper; but under the circumstances we think we can with good grace ask you to rejoice with us in our success.
To whom it may concern :
That none will doubt the above, we append from our publisher the following:
--been in existence but two years, and has done an incalculable amount of good among our young men. The work is carried on entirely by the students. A spirit of self help is aroused which brings to each member a sense of his responsibility. More good work is done by thus stirring up the dormant spirit of resolution and action than by almost any amount of passive reception of theological doctrines. The success of the Y. M. C. A. in the University effectually refutes the insinuations of ignorance that State Universities are infidel.
This is to certify that I have for three months past been printing from 800 to 1,200 copies per issue of THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER, with steady increase for the COURIER Company. H. A. CUTLER.
Lawrence, Kas. Dec. 31.
The legislature which meets at Topeka next Wednesday will have to grapple with the two leading questions of prohibition and railroad legislation. Let us hope that the welfare of higher education as represented by the University appropriation bill will not be neglected in the agitation of these matters.
The members of the legislature especially a Kansas legislature—we believe will always look carefully to see that education, the corner stone of a republic, shall be promoted.

Kansas is preeminently an agricultural state. All citizens are interested in whatever pertains to the development of those studies and sciences which will benefit the farmer, the stock man and those dependent upon them. The natural sciences are practical and useful. They are essentially Kansas sciences. Almost in no institution in this country—and certainly in none so young—has this department of science taken such an advanced position, or done better work than in the State University. It has outgrown the quarters assigned to it, and now appeals to the legislature to provide such accommodations as are suitable for such a department of such a State.
The Young Men's Christian Association is one of the prominent organizations of our University. It has
The University is for the people of the whole state, and in it are found students of nearly all creeds, each pursuing its particular theory or doctrine, and each gaining strength from contact and familiarity with the other. The Y. M. C. A., entirely non-sectarian, unites all in its work, and yet leaves each to its particular church and creed.
History of the State University.
To those unacquainted with the early history and struggles of the State University with its subsequent progress, we give the following condensed details:
In 1859, April 11, an institution of learning, bearing the name "THE UNIVERSITY OF LAWRENCE," was opened in the city of Lawrence, under the auspices of the Presbyterian church. Rev. William Bishop, A. M., was president; C. L. Edwards, principal of Academic and Normal departments; Rev. Charles Reynolds, associate instructor. The Presbyterian board of education contributed $2,000 toward the erection of a college building. Contributions from citizens enabled the trustees to lay the foundation for the building on Mt. Oread now known as North College. Financial embarrassment compelled the suspension of work on the building, and led to a new organization under the control of the Protestant Episcopal Church. A new charter was approved by the legislature for "Lawrence University of Kansas," January 9, 1861. Amos A. Lawrence, of Boston, had placed $10,000 at the disposal of the city, toward "the endowment of a school of high grade," on condition that a like amount should be secured from other donations. Contributions from various sources enabled the new trustees to prosecute the building enterprise, so as to inclose an edifice fifty feet square, three stories high, and containing eleven rooms, well adapted for school purposes.
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
was located in the city of Lawrence by formal act of the legislature of the State, in 1864. It was endowed in part by congress, in the setting apart and reserving for its use of seventy-two sections of the public land. The city of Lawrence also secured to the State forty acres of land for a campus, and all rights and interests in Lawrence University. Thus THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS has an intimate historical association with the University of Lawrence, one of the earliest if not the earliest educational enterprise in the State.
The first meeting of the Board of Regents, fourteen in number, as constituted under the legislative act of March 1, 1864, was held in the city council rooms at Lawrence. March 21, 1865. Members present: Solon O. Thacher, Charles Robinson, James S. Emery, George W. Paddock, Daniel P. Mitchell, Isaac T. Goodnow and R. A. Barker. Rev. R. W. Oliver was appointed Chancellor, and arrangements were made for the opening of a preparatory school as soon as the citizens of Lawrence should provide suitable accommodation for the same, free of expense to the State. With those above named, J. D. Ligett, C. B. Lines', C. K. Holliday, E.
M. Bartholow, T. C. Sears, W. A. Starrett and Joseph L. Wever, constituted the first Board of Regents.
FIRST FACULTY.
The first Faculty of the University was elected July 19, 1866. Professor Elial J. Rice, A.M., to the Chair of Belles Lettres, Mental and Moral Science; Professor David H. Robinson, A.B., to the Chair of Languages; Professor Frank H. Snow, A.M., to the Chair of Mathematics and Natural Science; and salaries were fixed at $1,600 per annum. Albert Newman, M.D., was appointed Lecturer on Hygiene and Medical Science. Professor Rice was chosen President of this Faculty, December 5, 1866: Chancellor Oliver having formally presided in opening the school, September 12, in the college hall.
Rev. R. W. Oliver resigned the Chancellorship, and was succeeded by Gen. John Fraser, A.M., elected December 4, 1867. The Regents also decided that the "Chancellor is ex officio President of the Faculty," and that the Chair of Philosophy and Belles Lettres should be placed in his care.
FIRST STUDENTS.
From the report of the first session it appears that full tuition was $10 per term; that $331 was received from 39 students; and that a number not named in report were admitted free, under the law providing for "the orphans of deceased soldiers, and those made so by the Quantrell raid." The total number on catalogue for the school year 1866-7 was 55, viz., 26 males, 29 females—all in the Preparatory Department.
NEW BUILDING.
The question of a new building had been agitated by the Board of Regents, and several plans proposed, both for procuring means and for architectural construction. The Chancellor's report, December 7, 1870, brought this subject very prominently before the public, and on February 3, 1871, the citizens of Lawrence "voted with great unanimity" $100,000, to be appropriated toward the construction of a new University building. The Regent's report for 1872 credits the city of Lawrence:
Estimated value of first building and site ... $30,000
Estimated value of site for second building ... 40,000
Amos Lawrence fund transferred ... 10,000
Amount voted by the city for a new building ... 100,000
but given by the city of Law-
given by the city of LAW
rence ... $180,000
The legislature of 1872 appropriated $50,000 towards the completion of the new building. With this sum all of the halls and rooms were plastered, and those in the north wing, on first and second floors were finished. Apparatus for heating the whole building by steam was also put in place, and the new apartments were occupied in the fall of 1872. During the fall of 1876, an appropriation of $5,000 was expended in finishing fourteen additional rooms, and the sum of $10,000 was applied during 1877 in furnishing the audience room and principal corridors of this building. University hall was formally opened on the 22d of November, 1877.
The legislature of the State, at its session of 1883, authorized the Board of Regents to make use of a surplus ($8,000) of interest remaining in the State treasury, to the credit of the University, in the construction of a building for the use of the department of Chemistry, and in addition made an appropriation of $4,000 to complete its outfit. This work was accomplished during the summer and autumn of 1883, and the department of Chemistry was moved into its new quarters in January, 1884.
All of the University buildings are constructed of native limestone, quarried in the immediate vicinity. North College is fifty feet square, three stories high, contains eleven lecture rooms, and stands near the center of
BUILDINGS.
a lot of ten acres within the city limits. The Main building is 246 feet in extreme length, 98 feet wide in center, wings 62 feet each, main audience room 94 feet long, 56 feet wide. There are 54 rooms in this building, all designed for the work of instruction. In the north done may be found a complete outfit of apparatus in constant use for taking weather observations. In the Natural History rooms of the south wing are the cabinets of Geology and Mineralogy, and more than 100,000 specimens of beasts, birds, insects and plants, largely representing the animal and vegetable life of the great Mississippi valley. The south rooms of the basement and of the first floor are devoted to the department of Physics.
The library occupies the west room of the south wing on the first floor; and near it, on the same floor, are the departments of English and of History and Political Science The north wing is given to Languages and the Mathematics. The center is occupied by the Regent's room, office, cloak rooms and University Hall.
The new Chemistry building stands at a short distance southwest from the main building. It is constructed upon the most approved plans, and furnished with all needful appliances for instruction. It is in the form of a T; the main building, extending east and west, being eighty by thirty-five feet, and the L north of this forty square. The main laboratory and lecture room are finished to the rafters, and all the rooms on the main floor are provided with additional light and abundant ventilation by sky-lights. The ground-floor rooms are twelve feet in the clear, and well lighted. These are occupied by an assay room, with crucible and muffle furnaces, and complete apparatus for the fire assay of ores; and also by laboratories for blow-pipe work.
The east wing of the main floor, which is fourteen feet to the eaves, is occupied by a lecture room, seated in amphitheater style, and capable of accommodating one hundred students. In addition to the usual ventilating apparatus, the plan includes flues in the wall, connected with hoods; and hoods in the center of the main laboratory, which are ventilated by glazed pipes, terminating above the roof.
All the rooms are heated by steam, and are supplied with gas, and with running water. The laboratory intended for students in qualitative analysis, has over 25,000 cubic feet of airspace, and will accommodate fifty-four students, each supplied with cupboards, sets of re-agent bottles and other necessary apparatus.
ENDOWMENT.
During the past eighteen years annual appropriations have been made by the legislature for instruction and various other expenses of the University. Of the 46,000 acres of land with which the United States had endowed the institution, 29,597 acres had been sold prior to April 1, 1880. At the session of the legislature in 1879, the prices previously fixed upon these lands were reduced 25 per cent., the rate of interest on deferred payments changed from 10 to 7 per cent., and the time extended from 10 to 20 years, conditioned on payment of one-tenth down, and the remainder in nineteen equal installments, with annual interest. These conditions resulted in the immediate sale of by far the larger part remaining of the University lands. The entire principal from the sale of these lands is paid into the State treasury and invested by the State board, interest alone being available for the current expenses of the institution.
NUMBER OF STUDENTS.
Since the first opening of the University as a State institution, 2,937 students have been enrolled. The attendance has included both sexes in very nearly equal numbers, and no difference has been made in the course of study on account of sex.

The University library contains 6,459 volumes, besides a large number of unbound pamphlets. New books are purchased from time to time, adding to its growing usefulness and efficiency. The room now occupied is finished, and furnished with desks, tables and other conveniences, and is open daily from 8 A. M. to 1 P. M., and from 4 to 5 P. M., for the use of all officers and students of the University.
The library has been selected with great care, and embraces some of the best works in the departments of Language and Literature, Philosophy, History and Biography, Mathematics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Physics, Natural History, Art, Poetry, Metaphysics, Political Economy, Sociology, etc. Under the direction of the several professors, students are able to make the most judicious selections for reading, and with the least expenditure of time. The Regents and Faculty desire, through this collection of books, to introduce the students to a pure literature, free from frivolous trash, and replete with the best information upon all topics under investigation. The experience of the past year proves that the students are becoming better and more intelligent readers, and the attainments in scholarship consequently more advanced. They are learning that a University library is the door to all science, literature and art.
READING ROOM.
NOTES.
More than 100 newspapers, and scientific, literary and art journals, generally donated by the publishers, add to the attractiveness of the reading room, and furnish a large and varied amount of matter of great importance to the student.
PAPERS.
THE UNIVERSITY COURIER, a weekly publication, and The University Review, a monthly, each self-sustaining, are edited and published by associations of students. These compare well with the publications of the oldest and best colleges of the country.
Cosley's is the place for pleasure.

AN OLD LADY'S EXPERIENCE.—Mrs. E. E. Clark, aged 56 years, of 26 Holmes st., Kansas City, has suffered from childhood with diseased eyes, and has sought diligently for relief in various ways, and employed those who have the reputation of being the best oculists, but all without avail. The disease progressed steadily until the complete loss of vision was the result. One month ago she was brought by Rev. Page, pastor Congregational church at K. C., to the Kansas City Eye and Ear Infirmary to ascertain whether or not she must be forever blind, as had been professionally declared. Dr. W. H. Kimberlin was consulted and promised all the assistance and relief that his skill and experience could give. After two weeks treatment we are very glad to announce Mrs. Clark is now able to see, and without doubt the happiest of women. She expresses much gratitude to her pastor who guided her to fight and vision.

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS:—Nearly all colleges have military departments in which the students can exercise and attain a bearing and health not obtainable without. A few years ago the University had a military company, but the control was entirely with the students, and it was disbanded. Now if the regents would obtain a regular army officer detailed for such duty, as at Manhattan, who would carry on the department with system and energy, it would be a success as there. Such an officer will be detailed by the government if asked for. The agricultural college has found the military training highly beneficial to the students, and surely we ought to keep up with the procession. C.
EDITOR VIEWS:—The recent difficulty between the two societies as to the contest program was absurd, but it nearly prevented the contest. If some precaution is not taken the same state of affairs may arise again. I know that it is not probable that two speakers and six committeemen will be found so nearly related to the long cared again, but it may be. I think it would be well to let the matter stand for a few months, until the angry passions calm down and then hold a joint meeting of the literary societies and enact cast iron rules as to future contests. What do the students think of this? CONTEST.
EDITOR COURIER:—Not long ago a petition was circulated and numerously signed by the students, asking the regents to establish a course in which only one foreign language should be required for graduation. Why was this not pushed? It seems to me quite evident that there would be great advantage arising from such a course. The time now applied to getting a smattering of two or three languages could be much better spent in acquiring a thorough knowledge of the mother tongue, and a good understanding of some other. Then the now frequent practice of rushing through a few term's work by cramming and boneing ought to be abolished, and only regular class work be allowed to entitle a student to a "pass" grade. Many a student graduates only by making up that second language by a few week's cramming and the aid of a pony. If a course with but one required language should be established, and that required to be thoroughly studied, I think much more good would result to the University and students. D.
EDITOR VIEWS:—Of all the evils in student life none is more prevalent than that of cigarette smoking. To be sure, it is not distinctively a college vice, but it seems to flourish more among a body of students than anywhere else. The college "cigarette flend" is becoming a by-word, and that we have them in the K. S. U. cannot be doubted.
Prof. Snow, in his lectures before the physiology class, brands the cigarette as more injurious than cigars, or in fact any other form of tobacco.
Pres. White, of Cornell, has said that he could pick out the inveterate smokers in any institution.
Now that the new year is here let those who smoke cigarettes "swar off," if only for a week. Perhaps there will be one disadvantage, i.e., not having as many headaches as formerly, and thereby having a dearth of excuses for absence from recitations. B.C.
EXCHANGE.
The Owl comes with the legend "please x." Why certainly, you wise old bird, owl right. Your plumage is a trifle too fly, but what is contained between those two covers is excellent.
The Gleaner, from Hedding college, is at hand. It has a leading literary article on "Greece." Perhaps it is because the subject is a little slippery that we fail to get at the meaning of the author, but such is the fact. The department "Cupid's Conquests" is very entertaining.
The College Courier was probably named after us. If so, we are proud of our namesake. The exchange man is a bad man, and talks as if he came from Dodge City. We haven't the pleasure of exchanging with the Niagra Index, but would like to see it when that December Courier arrives in the sanctum.
The College Rambler thinks that young ladies should not be admitted to oratorical contests with gentlemen on account of the different styles of speaking. But the same objection would arise between gentlemen, as equally good speakers may be essentially different in all points.
The Washington Jeffersonian has not yet got over the election. Well, Pennsylvania and Kansas came to the front, didn't they? We are out of politics now, and don't think college papers (especially Republican) ought to meddle in the iniquities of elections.
Russia is said to be the only civilized nation whose law excludes women from a college course.
At Amherst and Kenyon colleges a grade of 75 per cent excuses from examinations. The scheme works well.
The "jury system" government was very successful at Bowdoin last year.
The first college in Dakota was dedicated at Yankton, September 20.
German is the most popular language at Yale, and the number who take it exceeds the number of those who choose the ancient languages.
There are thirty-three general, sixteen local and seven ladies' college fraternities in the United States.
The history of college journalism begins with the Dartmouth Gazette, which was first issued in the year 1810; and it is a note-worthy fact that Daniel Webster lent his first literary efforts to this college journal. Today there are fully two hundred college papers regularly published.—Ex.
"A college journal is the pulse by which the faculty may determine the condition of the students." The college journal must be wholly independent of the faculty if it would perform its legitimate function. De Pauw Monthly.
At this time of the year most of the classes are reviewing the work of the term. The fact suggests the inquiry—would not more frequent reviews be more beneficial? We are inclined to say yes. The practice of reviewing frequently from the beginning of a book is the method adopted by some of our professors, and with good results. No plan of study can give a student a more thorough knowledge of any particular study than this. He is enabled by this
method to arrange the information which he gains from the text book in some system by which he can remember it. He sees the teachings of the book as a connected whole, and its thoughts do not appear as separate facts. With new studies this plan of frequently reviewing from the beginning is invaluable. It serves to lay a good foundation of first principles for future use. And in the study of the Greek and Latin classics frequent reviews make the student familiar with the translation of the most difficult passages in the classics. It is the same old story—that practice makes perfect, this habit of going over and over a thing until it is familiar. As students, let us make all the use we can of these term reviews. We can get great good from them. —College Rambler.

The regents of the Kansas State University will make a request to the coming legislature for an appropriation for a building for the department of natural history. The erection of this building is an imperative necessity, in order to preserve and utilize the collections made. Kansas can well be proud of her department of natural history in the Kansas State University. We hope the appropriation will be secured without trouble. —Solomon Valley Democrat.

A paper published under the auspices of the State University is now being mailed regularly to all the members of the legislature.—Troy Chief. Yes, Sol, this paper is mailed to the members of the legislature, but is not "published under the auspices of the State University." The Courier is published by a joint stock company of students, and is mailed to members of the legislature not as an official organ of the University.

In one respect the contests between the literary societies are a detriment to the successful society. Their victory is an assurance to them that their society has good members, and they contemplate it with a self complacency that should be superceded by good, earnest work. We trust the victorious society (in the last contest) will reinforce its triumph with interesting and profitable meetings the remainder of the year.

Every year a number o Kansas young men go east to attend a medical college. Were there a medical institution within our state these men, with others whom circumstances keep from fulfilling their wishes in this line, would obtain a medical education at home. Our laws provide for the establishment of a medical department in the K S.U. Would it not be well for our legislature to make the necessary provisions therefor this winter?

If any member of the legislature, or anyone else should doubt the necessity of a natural history building, let him make a visit to the University, take a walk through the rooms in Prof Snow's department, crowded so full with valuable specimens they can hardly be shown; let him look at the cases of rare insects, the boxes of geological specimens packed away beneath tables and desks; and then let him go down into the basement and see those two rooms packed with the latest additions, which are practically useless in their present position to professors or students, and then if he is not satisfied of the imperative need and inestimable value to the State of the building asked for, we will lose our faith in human nature.
Prof. Canfield.
Up to this time we had refrained from noticing the comments made by a few of the papers of the State upon our professor of political science, alleging that he had been using his position to force certain political views upon his students. Particularly has this been said in regard to the subject of free trade. Now, as students of the University, who have been in many of Professor Canfield's classes, we can unhesitatingly denounce any such charge as being utterly untrue. Every graduate of the University, everyone who ever attended the professor's classes, will join us in making this assertion. On the contrary, Prof. Canfield's branches have always been known as those in which a student was urged to form his own opinion, and the professor never attempted to teach his students the theories of any particular school. How such a charge as we have mentioned could have been trumped up, we are at a loss to know. But we trust those papers which have given space to such wrong ideas of the University and Prof. Canfield, will also give room for a complete denial of the charge, as coming from the students.
The Collegiate Students of Kansas.
State Superintendent of Public Inscription Speer has received reports from the various private institutions of learning in the State, giving the number and classification of students. A study of the figures given below of the number of collegiate students in each, compased with the State University, makes a showing quite creditable to us:

From the Lawrence Gassette, Hon.
Sidney Clarke editor, we clip;
Besides these K. S. U. has 12 post graduates, 1 resident graduate. 20 specialists, making a total of 234.
THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER is a regular and most welcome visitor to our table. As a weekly college publication, the enterprise shown in the management is the best testimonial that could be asked on the worth of the drill of the institution it represents. Knowing the difficulty experienced in securing appropriations from the legislature, owing to a great extent to the lack of information as to the wants thereof, the managers of the COURIER for a month past have been devoting their editorial page to
the edification of the members of the legislature as to the wants of the K. S. U., putting the entire body free gratis on their list. The greater part of the articles would do justice to the oldest and most experienced journalists. If the members of the legislature do not by the time they reach the University bills think it the most abused and neglected institution by the state in existence and give it what it wants, we will lose our guess. Our State University is a grand institution, and we are glad to see its undergraduates doing so well for it.
By the issue of to-day we see testified to by the publisher, the boys have a circulation from 1,000 to 1,200; a four column condensed history of the struggles of the K. S. U., which should be read by ever educator in the State.
Thanks.
VIEWS.
The holidays swiftly passed away. A few risings and settings of suns and the day was here when we gathered from all parts where we had been passing our days of recreation, to again assume our duties at the University. When we left Lawrence we hoped that the weather would moderate, and that the few days granted for the pursuit of pleasure would be lighted by a warm sun and a genial atmosphere, that our joys might be unrestrained by the biting cold that generally attends this season.
Kansas.
But our hope was in vain. As the days wore on the wind blew colder and the snow fell, robing the hills of Kansas in the mantle of Christmas. But it only stimulated our desire for pleasure, and the cold and bracing air seemed to bear with it a feeling of joy that can only be felt at this season, and would be lax and languid without the muffling robes and tinkling of sleigh bells.
But we travel not alone for pleasure. With our eyes we see; with our ears we hear; with our mind we think,
Traveling over a part of the State for the first time the writer sees hills and valleys of Kansas which he never saw before, and finds them inhabited by a class of people who have transformed prairies that a few years ago lay wild and trackless, into smiling gardens, and upon them they have built pleasant homes and now live in the wealth of their contentment. We hear them talk. Of what do they speak? Their thriving flocks, their farms, their government, their schools. They speak of nothing but that which suggests intelligence, prosperity, refinement and contentment. What do we think? We have seen Kansas with her fields, her flocks, her schools, her government and her people. With boundless wealth in fields and flocks; with a system of schools and a government that equals, if they do not already excel, those of any other State in the union; with a most intelligent people, we think Kansas is destined to become the greatest commonwealth of this great republic. Her schools and the intelligence of her people are but precursors of her coming influence and power. She is already felt; and Kansas may well feel proud of her leading institution of learning, the K. S. U., for her alumni are already in the ranks of those who are framing her laws and moulding her destiny. So with unity of action in State and schools, Kansas will educate her children to preserve
in age the government that preserved them in youth.
Students are not allowed to choose political subjects for chapel rhetoricals. We think this a mistake, for it debars them from that field in which our most successful men are engaged, and which offers the greatest inducements for masterly efforts and friendly debate. The State supports our institution in order that its graduates may become its supporters and preservers; and therefore students should be encouraged to grapple with the questions that are of import to the State, and should be taught to judiciously consider and discuss the questions of the day. If the tariff law is wrong the students should know it; if free trade is right the students should know it; if Democratic principles are pure and Republican principles corrupt, the students should know it, and when he leaves the University to enter the bustle of the world, he will be guided in politics by his knowledge of them, and not by the prejudices which he has always held against the opposing party because his father was a Republican or a Democrat. POLITICIAN.
EDITOR VIEWS:—In your last issue I noticed an article advocating a course in which there should be but one foreign language, and asking why the petition circulated some time ago and signed by a number of students, was not pushed. As for the petition, it was circulated and signed by nearly all the prominent students, but the circulator was suddenly called away from the University before the petition was handed in, and not being able to return for several weeks, was unable to find the petition on his return.
The students who have spent two or three years in the University recognized the need of such a course, or they would not have signed such a petition. It is a notable fact that our graduates and the graduates of any institution where two or more foreign languages are taught in one course, have but a very imperfect knowledge of any, and but very few can take up a Latin or Greek book and read intelligently without the greatest difficulty and the aid of a lexicon. Now if the time spent on two or more foreign languages were given to one, our graduates would have a much broader knowledge of language than they do from the present course, for then they could gain a useful knowledge of one foreign language, which is much more preferable than an imperfect smattering knowledge of several.
Although the petition was not handed in, we hope the faculty will consider the advisability of such a course. CIRCULATOR.
This exercise has been submitted to professors, doctors of divinity, editors, authors, bishops, etc., and the best have made mistakes. Try it! "A sacrilegious son of Belah, who suffered from bronchitis, having exhausted his finances, in order to make good the deficit, resolved to ally himself to a comely, lenient and docile young lady of the Maylay or Caucasian race. He accordingly purchased a calliope, and a necklace of a chameleon hue, and having secured a suite of rooms at a leading hotel near the depot, he engaged the head-waiter as his coadjutor. He then dispatched a letter of the most unexceptionable caligraphy extant, inviting the young lady to a matinee. She revolted at the idea, refused to consider herself sacrificial to his designs, and sent a polite note of refusal; on receiving which he said he would not now forge fetters bymenial with the queen. He then procured a carbine and a bowie-kraife, went to an isolated spot behind an abode of squab, severed his jigular vein, and discharged the contents of the carbine into his abdomen. The debris was removed by the coroner, who from leading a life in the culture of belles-lettres and literature, had become a sergeant-atarms in the legislature of Arkansas."
Any pronunciation allowed by Webster or Worcester may be used. We would like to hear from the student who has never seen this story, who reads it correctly at sight.
There are from twenty-five to forty words in this exercise commonly mispronounced by those laying claim to "culture." B.C.P.
The Indiana School Journal reports the following answers to questions in teacher's examinations:
1. What preparation have you made for teaching? "I have shucked my corn and cut my winter's wood."
2. What was the length of your previous certificate? "It was about fourteen inches long."
3. Describe the thermometer. "It is an instrument by means of which the temperature of a room is kept uniform."
4. What is wind? "It is air set in motion by an approaching storm."
5. Why is it colder in winter than in summer? "Because the sun's rays lose their heat in cold weather."
6. What became of De Soto? "He died."

"Flunking."
The College Courier contains the following description of an art not altogether unknown in Kansas' favorite institution:
The Free Press, speaking of the State University, thus describes the art of "flunking." Either this or the 2nd of bolting is open to the unprepared student.
Imagine a youth with courage enough to attempt the first course! Picture his state of mind for sixty long minutes. He has come totally unprepared, does not know the subject under immediate discussion. He shivers as he takes his seat and counts his chances.
The lesson opens, and he tries to look unconcerned and at ease. The professor begins at A and works through the class alphabetically. Our youth's name begins with G. The professor creeps down the list steadily, and our man is getting more and more excited the nearer and nearer his initial is approached. He glances earnestly at his watch to see if the hour is not up. Only ten minutes have gone. The professor is down to F. The student has alternate spells of intense cold and heat, and can scarcely control himself. He feels that he is nearly doomed. He must make a grand effort for his expiring cause. As the professor is about to call out H, our man stops him and says he doesn't understand the point just given. This only to gain time
The professor stops and explains; the student feels that he has but one chance left, and that is as slim as the burglar's who attempts to discover the combination of a safe by actual trial—one in two billion. But he will try it. He loses no time but pours forth a perfect deluge of questions and awaits the results with fear and trembling. His idea now is to make the professor halt in his cool and systematic way of reeling off the names, and to cause him to skip some letters and begin further down the list. And the professor does skip; he skips to M. So much for tact.
The student is once more at ease, and there is the faintest shadow of a smile playing away back of his ears. But in a moment he is again reduced to despair. The professor has begun calling irregularly, now A, now K, now S. The hour lacks fifteen minutes of being full—fifteen minutes of alternate hope and despair; the delinquent is beginning to wilt along with his collar and is about to give up for the 700th time. The professor calls up I. Oh, how near the lightning struck! The delinquent here makes a solemn vow that should he escape unharmed he will go to the University chapel in the morning, to which attendance is not compulsory, and return thanks. Ten minutes pass, and the last five begin to creep away, perhaps he consults his watch sixteen times! He is safe! No, he is lost! All up! Courage! And then at last the bell rings out the hour; he joyously hears the lesson assigned, and goes out with a smile. He has won, but the victory was dearly gained, and the next time, under similar circumstances, he will bolt.
Professor in Systematic Theology : "Where is the lesson to-day, gentlemen?"
Student: "It begins at good angels and goes to the devil."—Ex.

The Academica is presumably a funny paper. One of the institutions of the University of Cincinnati is a mock congress, and from reports in the college paper the proceedings seem to be interesting and profitable.
The Indiana Student rejoices over the election of David S. Jordan, the great scientist, to the presidency. We congratulate our sister University upon her good fortune.
If the Sunbeam would give its readers just a little less of the scientific it would be improved. Probably the young things who wield the little lead pencil in Whitby are too busy with the sciences to descend to common things. But they will grow wiser as they grow older. (If they ever do "grow old.")
Universities are not without their trials. The University of New Brunswick was compelled recently to withdraw some members of the faculty from their position, in order to retain its students. Students and professors should co-operate.
The Harvard students are noted for their passion for athletic sports, and the tenderness with which they hold everything tending to its promotion. The Harvard authorities decreed the other day that "Bancroft," not the historian, but the professional gentleman, paid by the University to "coach" the rowing crew, must go—when a wail arose from the students that was indeed pitiful. The friends of the institution now fear that the cause of "education" will be greatly injured.
The Hesperian Student, from Nebraska, seem, to think the Courier motto a joke. Now, it is our private opinion that such a motto would be a good thing for Nebraska State University. The fraternities at your institution may be of that very good variety which never try to run society elections, control college papers and dictate terms to every other college organization. But we have not been so signally fortunate. While all the fraternities here do not try these things, yet it is usually the case.
Two years ago the COURIER was started in answer to a call for justice from the non-fraternity men, and fair play from some fraternity men. A cast-iron constitution prevents any usurpation of power, and guarantees to fraternity and non-fraternity men alike an equal representation in stock and on editorial board. The necessity of such a constitution was shown last spring when only the stringent provisions prevented a complete sell-out of principle for position.
The COURIER staff consists of ten men, five of whom are members of secret societies and five are not. The result of this union has been abundantly justified by the course of events. Frat and barb have stood side by side and worked for the honor of the COURIER and the University. We stand fortified by the support of three-fourths of the students and the respect of all.
The motto on the editorial page:
"Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken," means that the "rule-or-ruin" domination of secret societies is ended in K. S. U. The writer is a fraternity man and believes heartily in the true fraternity idea, but detests seeing that name used as a screen for selfishness. Fair play is what we ask. Fair play is what we will have.
"Be he barb or be he frat,
A man's a man for all of that."

Mr. J. E. Lindsay, the Garnett dude, has again been heard from. He is studying law in his father's office at Garnett. He says "he will finally settle in Hades or Texas."
T. C.—This is a title under which there is a great deal of mystery. So far as our religious editor has been able to ascertain the mystic letters form the name of a secret society which has recently made its debut in society circles. The charter members are: Misses Franc Hunt, Minnie Wakefield, Pearl Young, Cora Henshaw, Mamie Henshaw and Carrie Fisher. The well known talent and ability of these young ladies assures an immediate prominence for T. C. in the University.
From the Herald-Tribune, Hon.
W. F. Chaffant, editor:
We take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER, published in this city by the students of the State University. In its editorial management it evinces a range of thought and ability that would do justice to old and experienced journalists. Typographically it is a beauty. In its business management it is certainly handled with great skill and shrewdness. Recently it has been enlightening the members of the Kansas legislature in reference to the wants of the University, with an eloquence, logic and argument that certainly must have great weight with that body. Long may it live.
Thanks.
Athletic Association!!!
The spring of '84 opened with an extra amount of enthusiasm for athletics. The result was that the above named organization, with duly elected officers and well ratified constitution, came into existence. Nearly $200 was subscribed by the citizens of Lawrence to support the boat club. The base ball and foot ball teams were to have their expenses defrayed by the students of K. S. U. The plan adopted was to issue tickets at $1.00 each, the holder to be admitted upon presentation of his ticket, to all games in inclosed grounds, to be liable for all assessments and share all dividends.
About seventy tickets were disposed of. On the strength of the above the officers of the A. A. authorized the purchase of uniforms for both clubs. This was done. Both teams were a credit to K. S. U., for '84 never witnessed a defeat of either.
The facts are that the A. A. is liable for more than $50, and that the creditors don't seem to be much nearer their money than when the above named articles were purchased. And the good name of K. S. U. A. A. and honor were given as security, which has been sufficient in such matters in the past.
We sincerely hope the officers of said A. A. will call a meeting at the earliest time possible, make full reports and secure the payment of what should have been paid when received.
What is the object of the above?

When you sit in a sleigh
At two dollars an hour,
Or even in a nice buggy,
Would you drive with both hands
And talk of the roads,
And never take one little buggy?
When you sit in the parlor
With her by your side,
And the light shines dim on the ceiling,
Would you laugh the chance
Of stealing a kite,
If you were sure she wouldn't be squealing
From Real Life.

And as through the park you stray,
Do ye go arm in arm

And say "they were never unruly,"
But the malediction, in talking
Gave the whole thing away

When once a person has the lead of a class it is easy enough to keep it. The best member of the class constantly receives the approbation and praise of the professor, which is as oil to the flame of his ambition, and makes him work hard to merit the commendation and become worthy of more; the conscious feeling that you are outstripping your competitors and are far ahead of the rest is another strong incentive to work, in order that you may maintain the supremacy. In everything it is much easier to stay in advance than it is to gain the advance.—Bee.

Few states are receiving better recognition in advanced educational matters than Kansas.
Co-education is rapidly gaining ground. Adelbert College, Cleveland, Ohio, is the last to fall in with the procession.
While the State Agricultural College at Manhattan gets $32,000 annually from its endowment, our University gets but $9,000.
The University of Kansas has never before been in such a prosperous condition. Like the State, it is coming rapidly to the very front rank.
The alumni of the University, all departments, number one hundred and eighty-seven, and are scattered throughout the union in nearly every vocation.
The law department in the University should be something of which the State would be proud. It, however, should be given a little better support by the State.
We urge upon all under class men the advantage of as soon as possible clearing up back work. Every Senior who has neglected this has the ghost of some prep study haunting him, and will join us in this advice.
--fact we rejoice with all friends of good work and study.
Kansas is proud of her school advantages. Well may she be. None are better supported by a State in the union. Those well known school advantages are proving a great incentive to a high grade immigration to our State. It pays.
Why cannot the State Normal School, Agricultural College and State University support themselves, is asked by a correspondent in Missouri. We answer by asking: 'Why does not the common school system support itself? Why does not any system of public education support itself?'
Those who were here during the stormy days of college politics last year are marking the difference now. An era of peace and good feeling is general, and the personal enmity and bitterness which marked last year's work is noticeably absent. At which
No State in the union has a better endowment for her common schools than Kansas. No State of her age has a better foundation for the higher institutions of learning. If these are given the proper support, inside of twenty-five years her Normal School, Agricultural College and University will be among the foremost in the country.
From the Abilene Gazette :-Among the worthy educational institutions of Kansas the University stands at the head, and the people desire the members of the legislature to make such appropriations as the best interests of the State require, and the same can be said of all our public institutions supported in whole or in part by appropriations from the State treasury. The University is growing stronger in the affections of the people year by year, because it is doing good work in the education of the young men and women of the State. The regents are asking for needed appropriations only, and no member of the legislature should vote blindly against a single item. Every member should become acquainted with the facts, and vote from knowledge and not from prejudice. The people want their public institutions liberally sustained.
The State legislature began its labors for the session of 1885 at Topeka last Tuesday. The session promises to be one of the most important ever held, and its work from day to day will be watched with keen interest all over the State. The number of "appropriations asked" will perhaps exceed those ever asked of a legislature before. Considering the environments placed upon the members individually, coming from constituents from all over the state, who cry "cut State expenditures, times are hard," etc., we feel for them when they are brought to face many of these appropriations which all justice and right demand, they being allowed or recognized by members, yet the giving a vote for some of them often being the "sealing the political doom" of some. Truly the lot of a legislator is not always blissfulness.
The student who "leads his class" has a comparatively easy time. After he once has a reputation established, professor and fellow student will look upon his lead as almost a matter of course. Then his ambition will be fired to keep up his record, and no outside attraction can take him from work. But the man who is always at or near the foot of his class has indeed an unhappy lot. Professors are likely to misunderstand any merit which he may have, and see only his glaring faults. It is put down among the certainties of the examination that he will be found near the bottom of the roll. He is tolerated after a fashion, but any departure from his usual routine is laughed down. His companions are sorry for him, for "he can't help it, you know." But this is a small consolation for the poor fellow. It is only in after life, when the actual struggle for existence has begun, where he begins to loom up. The brilliant man who leads the class does not seem to get the firm grasp or
be so willing to accept misfortune and try to help himself as he who has experienced it for four years in college. Time has made all things even.
If the object of the new scheme of classification is to urge the Seniors to work up their back studies, it is probably a success. But if it is intended to be a permanent institution, it has already accomplished enough to prove itself a laughing stock. The absolute indifference which this system displays as it mathematically sends the dignified Senior back to J. P. or Quincy street is, torturing to those proud souls, but "nuts" for the rest of the students. The confusion is so great that class lines are effectually broken down. The Junior and the Soph, so long pitted against each other in deadly combat, repose quietly (?) in the shades of prepladm, and dream no more of class parties and kidnapping. The patient Senior who has labored for nearly four years to reach that height, is mercilessly cast down among the Freshmen, because, forsooth, he hasn't credit for that examination in J. P. Algebra. Ye Gods, can we endure all this? Rouse, ye dethroned Seniors; wake, ye Juniors, to your ancient dreams of class parties and plug hats; stir yourselves, ye mighten of '87, celebrated in your own story, and exhibit that former cheek and gall which won admiration and brickbats from all observers; and Freshmen, will ye endure that your short life shall be so ruthlessly cut off in the very bloom of youth, purity and innocence?

A Bit of History.
We have been asked how it has happened that the University of Kansas, in a state which has ever stood at the front in the ranks of advancement and education, does not have an endowment equal to the Universities of Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas, Texas and other western states. A greater part of the endowment of thee institutions was secured by the organic acts when they became states. When Kansas was knocking at the gate of the union for admission, and a majority attempted to force upon her free soil the curse of slavery, congress, then under therule of the slavocracy, in order to induce the people of Kansas to adopt the Lecompton constitution, attempted to secure its ratification by an offer of a munificent grant of land for educational purposes, if that constitution was adopted. But principle could not be bought with such means, and the proffered bribe was rejected. Thus all the responsibility of educational affairs was thrown upon the young State. And right nobly has she done her duty by them. Each year the legislature has carefully watched over and guarded the institution of learning which it has recognized as being of the greatest value to the State. So each session the University comes before the members and asks that support which they believe it worthy. It is now an institution to which the young men and women of the State may come and obtain a liberal education. A reputation has been made and a position gained corresponding to that of our glorious commonwealth. To the legislature now in session we turn for a maintenance of that liberality which a legislature of such a state with such a history may be expected to continue.

One of the seven commencement orators out of a class of over 200 at Harvard last June, was a colored man named Robert H. Terrell. He was born in Virginia, in 1857, of slave parents. He worked his own way through college, and yet stood among the first of his class. The subject of his oration was: "The Negro Race in America since Emancipation." He intends to devote himself to teaching.
A writer in the Vanderbilt Observer says that the number of colleges in the South is enormous; but out of this immense number very few have advantages sufficient to justify the name they hold, and yet all of them stand up with the dignity, gravity and majesty of learned bodies, and confer degrees and bestow diplomas equal in outward respects to those of Yale. The smallest institution in the South confers the degree of M. A., yet a student with that appellation from one of the most prominent colleges recently proved himself a most miserable failure in the lower classes of Vanderbilt University.
The students of Iowa College are greatly rejoicing over a new and more liberal policy adopted by the trustees of the College Says the News-Letter: "We are under the regime of self-government! The honor and nobleness of human nature is to be substituted for humiliating exactions. Yes, the day has come when the students of Iowa College can, with pride, say candidly: 'We are men and women.' The old regulations have disappeared as the mist before the dawn. We believe this change will be most beneficial. The willful and unrestrained will see they are simply injuring themselves, and from their lack of self-control, will cease to exist as students. The decree has gone forth that the students of Iowa College must exercise self-restraint." The feeling of satisfaction resulting from a change such as indicated in this extract is very natural. Iowa College is to be congratulated on attaining its majority.—Badger.

The committee of the State Oratorical Association to select judges for the state contest met at the Eldridge House parlors Saturday. It consisted of Ingalls, of Washburn; Cole, of Ottawa; Morgan, of K. S. U. The following judgers were selected by a unanimous vote: Noble Prentiss, of Atchison; Rev. Robert Laird Collier, of Kansas City, and Hon. Geo. T. Anthony, of Leavenworth. If the gentlemen chosen accept, the judges will be very satisfactory to all parties.
Oread society met at 3 o'clock last Friday, President Brown in the chair. The literary program consisted of a reading by Minnie Raught, an essay by H.E. Riggs; and debate, question: Resolved. That the annexation of Canada is desirable. Affirmative, W. Y. Morgan, H. E. Riggs; negative, B. F. Talbott, D. J. Dunn. There was a good attendance, and there should have been a much better program. There is not work enough spent in preparing for Oread. The financial secretary reported that $25 was due on piano. This amount was promptly raised by subscription among the loyal Oreads. The man-
Orophilian.—The Orophilians are not of those who mourn over defea or gloat over victory. On last Friday they held their first session the new year. Judging from the general interest and enthusiasm of the society, its energetic, enterprising spirit and the ability of its members, we can safely predict for it a prosperous and successful future. Considering the fact that Friday's session was the first following the holidays, it was a good beginning for the "New Year." Without speaking of the exercises in detail, we may say all were well rendered. After recess an irregular debate upon the result of the recent election was participated in by many members. A committee of three was chosen to confer with the committee from the Oreads in regard to the June orator. The Orophilians are preparing an entertainment, musical and literary, to be given in Lawrence, Ottawa and Olathe, some time in February, proceeds for the piano fund.

We bring to public attent ion Dr. Car Neumann's Pulmonic Tablets. Specially prepared as a remedy damiting of being carried about the person conveniently. They do not contain a single grain of opium, antimony or squill, all of which would produce temporary relief, but destroy the appetite, and produce impaired digestion.
Testimony as to their merit has been received from J. B. Abbott, Gov. Robinson, C. A. Faris, M. W. Kelly, McCurdy, Joe Fricker, Hope, Borgholthaus, and others of our citizens.
The constituents are purely vegetable, positively harmless, and will not nauseate the most sensitive palate. The Tablets will render a hoarse voice clear and distinct; case and cure the worst of coughs; allow expectoration without straining; and soothe all irritation of the bronchial tubes. In catarrh they may be used with especial benefit.
There seems to be considerable dissatisfaction in the admission of one of the chosen oratorical contestants. It is claimed that at the time all orations should be handed in to the committee he was a sub-Freshman, and for three days following. As several were closed out because of this disqualification, it will undoubtedly cause trouble. Let fairness be the motto.

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS:—I noticed an article in your last issue on a subject that is worthy of much consideration. It is that of a military company in the K.S.U. Every one knows that a student should be physically as well as mentally and morally educated. Here we are without a gymnasium, without a boating club, and having access to the finest boating place in the State at that, and without anything of the kind where we can get exercise or recreation.
It has been clearly proven that an organization among the students to that purpose amounts to nothing.
Then what other course is there than to have it compulsory?
A military company would not only be a credit to the institution, but the benefits derived from it would be a benefit to its members in after life. Military exercise may not be the best, but it is certainly better than none at all. We once had what was called a gymnasium; a dark room in the basement, stocked with a few dumb-bells, Indian clubs, two or three wagon loads of saw-dust, etc., where students might go and watch others do a few funny tricks, at the same time inhaling three or four pounds (more or less) of pulverized saw-dust, and carrying twice as much move on their clothes to their class rooms.
Even this gymnasium would have done, had some one be authorized to manage it and to see that each one got his share of exercise and did not stand around and watch others monopolize the whole thing. All that was lacking was some one to run the affair; some one to urge timid ones on.
Many a student have I seen laughed and hissed at on account of his awkwardness or weakness in attempting a difficult feat, till he left that room, or I might say that hole in the basement, never to return.
Last year we had an athletic association Where is it now? Something must be done to overbalance the idea that some people have of the University—that it graduates yearly a lot of weak, puny and consumptive "book worms" to go out into the world as men.
A military company is seemingly the shortest way out of it, and a military company run in the right way. One hour's drilling would undoubtedly be better than four or five hours spent on one lesson in Sophomore German.
An organization of this kind would cost something to be sure, but it is only money invested, and the harder you work the greater the gain.
Let some one else express his views on the subject. McA.
Now that a new term is about to begin, it will be well for students to look up their back studies, and if possible take them. It is a mistake for a student in the preparatory department to take Freshman studies. He may think it will advance him, and say: "I'm going to be catalogued Freshman." But if he takes a course in the University the studies he leaves behind must be made up, and he will necessarily have to take them in his collegiate years or make them up outside, which is seldom
done. He will find it no more pleasant to take preparatory studies in his Junior or Senior years than it is in the preparatory year, besides making him irregular, which is the worst of all fates; for your studies will conflict; you will necessarily have studies in all classes, and can not have the confidence inspired by constant association with classmates. So let us all stay regular if we are regular; if not, get so as soon as possible. F.
It is a custom with many students to avoid review until a few days before examination, and then study with all the energies of their nature night and day, and enter the class room to be examined, tired, nervous and unable to give any accurate knowledge of the subject; for they crowd their minds so much that their ideas are confused and they cannot think clearly. On the other hand, there are those who begin reviews early, and on examination day go to the class with clear heads and sound ideas, ready for work. Such students always pass better examinations than those who put off review till the last hour. We trust our students have begun the work of review in time, and advise those who have not to begin immediately.
EDITOR VIEWS:—In years past there has usually been a "University ball." Why let this custom drop? There is now absolutely no place where the socially inclined meet and become acquainted, except through the narrow portals of a secret society. Some of the Juniors have heroically offered to undertake the matter, but do not seem backed by the ardor of the whole class. If they can carry out the plan, all right, and every loyal student, without regard to class, will help them. But if they cannot, let some of our leading students talk over the matter and then take it in hand. This has always been the plan adopted, and with good success. Think this over. S.
EDITOR VIEWS:—Will you be kind enough to enlighten your readers on the "fearfully and wonderfully made" scheme of classification? B.
So far as we can ascertain, the plan adopted is a good one, having for its object a weeding out of students who have crept into classes where they do not belong, and setting right those students who have been unable to take a regular course. We have heard of no complaint about the justice of the plan. Ed.
EDITOR VIEWS:—In your last issue I notice an article signed "Politician," in which the would-be politician finds fault with the course pursued, of not allowing chapel rhetoricals on political subjects. The youthful aspirant seems to think that unless he can orate upon such subjects it will be impossible for him to understand them. Now it seems to us that a better way to become conversant with such subjects as tariff, Democratic and Republican principles, would be to study them under the supervision of the professor in charge. With the instruction which any one can have in the University there is no necessity for us to vote a Republican ticket because our fathers did.

I. C. : "We always have had good records."
New Girl: Well, I should think you wouldn't want me then, for I am not a good student, and for that reason prefer to join the Kats.

The class of '88 met Wednesday afternoon to discuss the important question of a class party. After considerable discussion a committee on arrangements was appointed consisting of Messrs. Higgins and Elwell and Miss Webster. The date of the great event was fixed for the first Friday evening of the next session. The Sophs who have been honored by the faculty by being classified with '88 will probably be allowed to attend by paying twice the usual assessment.
Preparations for the oratorical contest are now in order. Out of the orations handed to a committee of the faculty six have been selected to compete. The report of the Committee speaks for itself:
To the Committee of the Oratorical Association;
The committee selected by you to examine the orations submitted, respectfully report that the following candidates are the successful ones, viz: Messrs. Carl Smith, Bruce, Morgan, Linley, Gilmore and Little.

This week the editorial board presents three changes. The positions so ably filled by Miss Fisher, Messrs. Doran and Preston, have become vacant by their absence from the University for the coming session. We regret their loss and voice the sentiment of our readers in saying that their places will not be easily filled.
The following books have been taken from the library without permission, viz: Two copies of Perry's Political Economy, Bowen,s Political Economy, and Grund's "The Americans, Their Moral, Social and Political Relations." The parties having them will please return them at once.

The class of '88 held a large, enthusiastic meeting Monday, and decided to have their class party January 30th. The committee on arrangements consists of Miss Webster, Elwell and Higgins. Various sub-committees were appointed to take charge of music, supper, etc. Crowell and Lawrence will be floor managers. This is the largest class that ever entered the University, and no doubts will make their first party a grand success.
COURIER MEETING.—Monday at the end of the fourth hour the company met in special meeting. The resignations of Miss Fisher, Mr. Doran and Mr. Preston were laid before the company and accepted. All were because of absence from college. Miss Laura Lyons, of '86, C. S Metcalf, of '86, and B. K. Bruce, of '85, were elected to fill the vacancies. After remarks by President Sullivan, as to the excellent condition and bright prospects of the great religious weekly, the company adjourned.
Tuesday evening fifty-six young men gathered in the Y. M. C. A. lecture room to hear Prof. Canfield's "talk" upon Labor. The professor treated of the subject in his usual entertaining, instructive way. The bright and dark sides of our system of labor were shown; how the progress of culture and civilization has been parallel with division of labor, and how that division has a tendency to make a man one sided. But still the good qualities outweigh the bad. The professor's last "talk" will be next Tuesday evening on the subject of "Wages."

Guilty, or Not Guilty?
This afternoon the trial or Cyrus Crane takes place in Oread hall, on the charge of stealing some dishes from Mr. A. L. Adams, on the night of the alleged Junior party. The previous high standing of the accused brings great interest to the decision. For some time the efficient sheriff, Mr. Bowersock, has been on the track of the criminal, and at last believes he has unearthed him. Crane stoutly asserts his innocence, and his many friends refuse to believe him guilty. He has secured the services of the eminent law firm of Gilmore & Morgan, and his defense will be a strong one. But with the ability and energy of Prosecuting Attorney Talbott, aided by the Hon. W. L. Little, we rest assured that justice will be meted out. Judge Linley will convene court promptly at three o'clock. We hesitate to pronounce our opinion as to the result of the trial, but will sternly insist as a custodian of the public welfare, "Let no guilty man escape."

Kansas University Science Club.
Last Friday afternoon the Medical and Engineering societies adjourned without date, and together with the students and professors of the departments of physics, chemistry and natural history, organized a regular scientific association. W. S. Franklin was elected president; T. H. Rockwell, secretary; O. C. LeSeur, treasurer; J. D. McLaren, reporter; Prof. F. O. Marvin, librarian; Prof. E. L. Nichols, F. T. Oakley and L. M. Powell, program committee. The object of the society is to advance the interests of science in Kansas University. Collegiate students and University officials are eligible to membership.
The following is a list of the charter members ;
FACTULTY.—E. H. S. Bailey, L. L. Dyche, Dr. J. A. Lippincott, F. O. Marvin, E. Miller, Edw. L. Nichols, F. H. Snow.
LATRIKOS, - E. A. Gildemister, J. D. McLaren, L. M. Powell, H. E. Riggs, T. H. Rockwell, W. W. Russ, E. A. Wheeler.
CIVIL ENGINEERING SOCIETY.—A L. Adams, Richard Birbeck, E. D. Cruise, E. D. Eames, E. C. Franklin, W. S. Franklin, Paul F. Goddard, R. L. McAlpine, Loyd W. Miller, F. T. Oakley, H. Radcliff, Richard Short, H. F. Smith, C. E. Springer, E. F. Stimpson, O. C. LeSeur, A. Watson.
The organization is a strong one, being composed of specialists in all branches of science. The members are enthusiastic and have in view some in scientific excursions, picnics and banquets. Several of the members have already contributed some new facts to science, and this union of minds and hearts will make the work yet more effective. The club is divided into departments for each branch of science studied in the University, with the professors as presidents.
Miss Nettie Littell, '88, is back after a weeks illness.
PERSONAL.
The society has access to all the leading periodicals of the day, to standard scientific works in our own and foreign languages and to extensive laboratories and cabinets. The only thing that could prevent the success of the undertaking would be a lack of interest by its members. The next meeting will be held at 3 p.m. on Friday, January 30, in Prof. Bailey's lecture room in the chemistry building. All are cordially invited.

OROPHILIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. At the last meeting, although the day was exceedingly cold and disagreeable, there was almost an average attendance. The program was well carried out, proving that the enthusiasm of Orophilian has not been chilled by the late defeat, or frozen by the inclementity of the weather. The speaker, as the amendment to the constitution provides, appointed the following officers: E. F. Neal, sergeant-at-arms; H. F. Talbott, critic; W. E. Higgins, chorister; J. B. Harris, reporter; Lillian Bell, pianist. Prof. Keck favored the society with a solo, which was enthusiastically received. The question, Resolved, That Canada should be admitted into the union, was discussed on both sides with great ability, coupled with eloquence. The members of Orophilian have every reason to feel encouraged, and they have only to work together in order that its success may be as assured in the future as it has been in the past. The musical part of our program is especially good, and to those who desire to witness a first class entertainment we extend a kind invitation.
Students will find the best grades of Coal at Griffin's, Mass., St. just south of the M.E. Church.

The University is steadily growing in usefulness and popularity. The State should cherish and encourage it in every possible way.-Governor John A. Martin's Message.
A very friendly feeling for the University seems to pervade the Legislature this winter.
While the Agricultural College at Manhattan gets annually from its endowment $32,000, the State University receives but $9,000.
Prof. Snow's recent lecture before the State Board of Agriculture on the Hessian Fly in wheat, is receiving immense circulation in the press of the state.
A few "cranks" in the country press of the state will insist in denominating the Courier "an efficient organ of the faculty of the State University, by which they reach the State Legislature." Once again we cry out in our just indignation, that the Courier is ours—THE STUDENT'S PAPER. A member of the faculty enters its columns only over his own signature. Through the loyalty and love of the students for their school only, is the Legislature now reached as it is. Of the enterprise of the Courier we are proud and do not want to be so robbed of the "glory" thereof.
Lawrence and Leavenworth are taking quite advanced steps in the higher classical studies. Their Art Leagues are in prosperous conditions and doing good work. There is no reason why every city of Kansas of 2,000 inhabitants could not have one of these highly desirable organizations and derive great benefits from them. They might be the germ of every community for the development of a high and refined taste of mental research.
From Tuesday's daily Leavenworth Standard, our old school-fellow, H. C. Burnett, editor, we see the Art League of that city in its well attended meeting Monday devoted a lesson and lecture to the Pre-Phidian age. A stereoptician with numerous choice figures of Greek sculpture was present. A lecture by Rev. Dr. Thomas, of which a synopsis was given, was evidently an interesting effort. We
are pleased to see the organization in our sister city doing so well.
Governor Martin in his message last week says of our institution:
The condition of the University, its prospects and needs, are fully stated in the reports of its regents, its chancellor and its heads of departments. The regents state that a substantial and gratifying prosperity has marked its history during the past two years. The new chemical building has been erected and equipped. The board has wisely ordered the discontinuance of the lowest preparatory course, and taken action looking to the early discontinuance of the entire preparatory department, so that the strength of the faculty may be devoted wholly to the work of higher education.
The University had 521 students enrolled during the last fiscal year, and is steadily growing in usefulness and popularity. The State should cherish and encourage it in every possible way. The regents urge the erection of a natural history building. The collection of that department, undoubtedly one of the largest and most valuable in the country, long ago overflowed the boundaries of the rooms assigned it.
---
We happened to overhear a severe remark on the University on the floor of the House of Representatives by a member, early in the week, regarding the comparative number of collegiate students in the schools of the state, though he was at once righted by a brother member. That "all may see" we append the following:

Besides the K. S. U, has 12 post graduates, 1 resident graduate, 20 specialists, making a total of 234.
While in Topeka the first of the week we were asked how the K. S. U. compared in point of number of collegiate students with the State Universities and institutions of the country generally. As per list below which we have at hand, we are surpassed in number by five:
The University of Kansas . 201

The Natural History department of our institution is becoming of immense practical utility to the agricultural interests of the state. Prof. Snow's daily mail now brings his scores of letters containing inquiries from farmers from all over the state regarding pests of numerous kinds with which apple, peach and pear trees, grapes, berries, wheat and rye fields, bees, silk-worms, etc., are infected, samples of infected articles accompanying these. What is the infection? How cured? How prevent spreading, etc.; are samples of the questions asked. His monthly report to the Board of Agriculture, given the circulation throughout the press it is now receiving, is of great value to farmers. The efficiency of the department under the charge of such an able man as Prof. Snow, would in a few years, with proper encouragement, be of incalculable value to the state. A better man for the place could not be asked. What is now asked is $50,000 for a building to afford such room for storage of collections and laboratory investigations as is now demanded. This is perhaps al that will be asked in this line for a quarter of a century.
Prof. Snow's Building.
The collections alone or this department requiring proper storage are worth more than is asked for this building, yet they have cost the state comparatively nothing. For years Prof. Snow has, free of charge to the state, devoted his summer months to collecting those in the far West. Tis said this is a large amount to so appropriate. For a progressive state like Kansas, with the grand school system she is blessed withal, it is really small to be demanded by her highest institution of learning. Beside the state has done but comparative little for her State University. The city of Lawrence has given $180,000. In the session of 1872 the Legislature appropriated $50,000; in that of 1876, $15,000, and in 1883 $12,00 for building purposes. Thus for $77,000 the state of Kansas has one of the grandest educational institutions of which our country can boast.
The Stuff We Are Made Of.
EDITOR COURTER:—A circular just received informs me that Prof. J. H. Canfield has taken up an investigation which I began three years ago among the ex-students of the University. A repetition of the results I obtained will be of interest for comparison, and may do some good, in case his returns should be delayed, in spreading a knowledge of the character of our students. Only graduates and students who had reached at least the Junior class were included.
The following questions were asked: What was your father's occupation at the time you attended the University? What were his circumstances? What proportion of your own expenses did you pay? What is your present occupation? What benefits have you derived from your life and work here? Would you advise one in your then circumstances to repeat your experience?
Fifty-six answers were received.
The results were as follows:

Surely this showing is enough to forever discredit the cry that the University is the "Rich Man's College." The proportions here given would more than hold good if the lower class men and preparatory students were included, for a larger percentage of these come from the farms of the State. But as it is, one-third of our students are self-supporting, and only one-third are entirely dependent on others for their maintenance at the University.
On the other hand, it speaks well for the students of Kausaa that they are so determined to get the benefits of a thorough education as to make the struggle indicated by the number of those who are partially or entirely self-supporting. Nor are the figures of the last table less eloquent. So short a time after graduation there are only two out of employment; over 95 per cent, were already engaged in useful work.
And surely the farmers of the State have all reason to feel that this is rather the "Farmer's College," when one-third of our best students come from the farms of Kansas.
Some of the answers to the fifth question I append :
A graduate of the Normal department says: "I have more than doubled my capacity to make money."
Another: "My first school was obtained solely because I had had the Normal training."
Collegiate; I have learned to value facts and reject theories; that outside of books and studies there is a more valuable end to be gained by experience and observation; that there is a best way of doing everything; and that continued and well-directed work is the surest way to happiness."
An editor: "Have filled positions in various engineer corps, at from $75 to $100 per month, for all of which I was prepared by our K. S. U."
A farmer says bluntly and well : "I have a good education, which is worth more than money."
A prominent civil engineer says: "I owe about half my education necessary to my business to the Kansas University. I would advise any one who expects to become a civil engineer to begin at the beginning and go entirely through the course laid down."
A lawyer and editor answers: "A general notion of subjects that places me on a vantage ground in the investigation of any subject, and a mental discipline enabling me to grasp a subject with some degree of confidence and power."
A young lawyer who has already made his mark: "The ability to get hold of a new question much more quickly than if I had not received a collegiate education. I notice this almost universally among those who have had fair mental training. 2nd. Some of the best friends I have, and the recollection of the most pleasant part of my life. This alone is worth the time and money spent. 3rd. The information obtained, but more especially the facility acquired, and the knowledge where to get still more."
Another, a lawyer and editor, gives perhaps the best answer of the entire lot: "Readiness of expression from the study of languages; courteous affability from association with pleasant people, (a very valuable business acquisition); steady, studious habits, acquired while character was forming; sturdy independence acquired by working through, instead of having a chance to draw on the bank, which, at the same time, curbed a dangerous disease known as "swell head;" freedom from bigotry, gained by learning that others had opinions good and true as well as the petty sect in which I was born; many of life's joys are destroyed by superstition; profound respect and admiration for good women inspired by those I met as classmates, and a capability of judging thereafter between good ones and ones less good. The last I hold as by no means least. I would advise modern rather than classical studies. The associations are valuable, and a pure, even penniless life is better than an ignorant, brutal one, though wealthy."
I have no doubt that the investigation of Professor Canfield at this date when the alumni are more than twice as many as when I gathered these facts, will show equally as well for our students, and I urge those receiving the circular to be prompt in replying.

Edron Views:—The "politician" would again like to maintain the ground that it is not right to prevent chapel rhetoricals on political subjects, notwithstanding the fact that some wise "student" thinks the better way to become conversant with political subjects is "to study them under the professor in charge."
TS.ORS,ASAS City
That this is a good method we do not deny, but under the wisest professor there will be difference of opinion, especially in politics, and the rostrum, that is open to the discussion of all other topics, should not be barred from the freest discussion of these opinions.
Ideas are like iron; if they are polished ever so bright, and then laid aside, they will rust and be forgotten, but if kept in constant use they will continue to glow and will gain new lustre from each day's use. Let the ideas be gained in the class room and then open your societies and all halls where speeches are allowed, to their free discussion, not excepting political ideas, and they too will grow brighter and broader, and will not be heumed in by the narrow confines of prejudices, or even class room diction. "POLITICIAN."
EDITOR VIEWS:—As a student of the University I have heard in many classes the professors say: "I have not time to do this subject justice," or "I only wish we had six weeks more to spend on this book;" and many similar remarks. In return I would ask why don't they take time? The scientific student, and especially the engineer, is ushered through the subject of trigonometry or surveying, for instance, in the short time of ten weeks, while three or four years are spent in the studies of German and French, something that does them no good and is likely never thought of after their graduation.
The result is the student becomes discouraged, quits college, goes to work in the machine shops or other places, and in time achieves his ambition of becoming an engineer without having to mope away three or four hours each day over a lesson in German and French.
The effect of this system is that some people in the State have a poor opinion of the faculty of the University. It would be better to do justice to the necessary studies, and leave out some of this useless trash; and improve the engineering course in the K.S.U., rather than discourage those who take that course by placing upon them unnecessary burdens.
ENGINEER.
Edror Views:—Some time ago there was a communication in your department about a covered walk from the main building to the chemical building. The wisdom of the writer is now apparent, for I myself know of several severe colds and consequent ill health in the past cold weather, resulting from exposure in passing from the main building to the lab. It seems to me, and I have heard many others speak in the same way, that a covered walk could be built to connect the two buildings at a comparatively slight expense, and the benefit and need of such is apparent. The regents meet soon, and this matter should be brought before them. MEDIC.

Our University.
Our University. From the fourth biennial report of the regents, chancellor and faculty, we make the following clippings as per the wants of our institution
In the chancellor's report regarding the department of natural history and law appears:
NATURAL HISTORY.—The collections in the various cabinets of botany, zoology and geology, now aggregate more than 100,000 specimens. These have been gathered by the persistent industry of Prof. Snow and his assistants, and are a credit to the institution and to the State. In the line of entomology it is claimed that but one collection in the country, that of Harvard University, excels ours in the number and value of its specimens. Our collection of birds and mammals, under the immediate care of Prof. Dyche, is growing rapidly in volume and in value. Special attention has lately been given to the collection of a cabinet of fossils. Under the direction of Prof. Snow the labors of Messrs. C. H. Sternberg and E. P. West have already resulted in a collection the most valuable, doubtless, west of the Mississippi river. These cabinets are crowded into the lecture rooms of our main University building in such a manner as to make a fair display impossible, or they are hidden away in basement rooms for lack of better storage facilities. At the same time, lecture rooms that are greatly needed for instruction in the present crowded condition of our classes, must be devoted to storage or the display of these valuable cabinets. In my judgment, the time has come when the State should erect for the uses of these departments a fire-proof hall of natural history, and I would earnestly recommend that at its next session the legislature be memorialized to make a liberal appropriation for this purpose. I think that so far as buildings are concerned, this is the most pressing and immediate need of the University. Such a building as I have in mind might be constructed in such manner and of such capacity as to accommodate this entire department with cabinets, lecture rooms and laboratories; at the same time for a number of years to come, furnish accommodation for the library, to which is now devoted a single lecture room in the main building, ill-arranged, inconvenient and over-crowded.
LAW DEPARTMENT. In 1883-4 there were twenty-four, of whom eight were Seniors and sixteen Juniors. These figures indicate an increasing demand for instruction in the principles and the practice of law, but the department labors under disabilities. I would recommend, first, an appropriation for this department so liberal that the dean may feel justified in devoting to it his entire time; secondly, a very considerable increase in the fees required of students; and thirdly, that the legislature be memorialized to make the diploma of the department a sufficient evidence of preparation to practice in any of the courts in the State.

In our closing report we would respectfully add that, resident as we are in different sections of the State, it is our common experience that there exists among the people a deep and pervading interest in the growth and success of the University. As the State matures the demand for higher education increases. The young men born upon Kansas soil look within its borders for educational advantages, and for all the means and facilities for a thorough intellectual development. The alumni, scattered as they are through the State and the West, evince invariably a sincere and earnest regard for their Alma Mater.
We cannot speak too highly of the present faculty of the University. They are earnest men, in' the prime of life, devoting their best energies to its growth and development. Their compensation might very properly be increased, but with so many other expenditures necessarily embraced in our report, we have not felt at liberty to press the question beyond the figures named in the estimates herewith presented.
In the performance of our official duties we have endeavored to obtain a clear and thorough insight into both the wants and the prospects of the institution, and we express a conviction common to us all, when we say that if it shall receive at this time proper support and aid, it can be made speedily to take its place by the side of the best and oldest institutions of learning in the country, and become at once a most important factor in the growth and intellectual development of the youth of the State.
Very respectfully submitted

PROF. SNOW'S REPORT.
To the Board of Regents of the University of the State of Kansas:
GENTLEMEN:During each of the two years covered by this report, instruction in natural history has been given to seven different classes, all of which are in the collegiate department. The number of students in the various branches has been considerably greater than in any former years, and the enthusiasm manifested and the good results attained have been very satisfactory.
The following table indicates the distribution of students in the several classes;
Branches of Study. 1882-3. 1883-84. Total in each branch Botany . 85 109 194 Zoology . 58 61 119 Physiology . 53 51 104 Comparative Anatomy . 13 15 28 Geology . 36 39 75 Meteorology . 13 18 31 Special Natural History . 2 3 5
The work of instruction in the above branches has been shared by my assistant, Mr. L. L. Dyche, who has taken entire charge of the students in comparative anatomy and special natural history. These students have spent from two to three hours each day in the laboratory, under Mr. Dyche's constant supervision.
The provision made by the last legislature for the printing of the weather reports of this department, has resulted in an extended distribution of meteorological information, based upon the observations of seventeen years. Many important questions concerning the climate of Kansas are referred to these observations for solution.
The cabinets of natural history and geology have been greatly enlarged during the past two years. Two successful expeditions have been made to New Mexico in the summer vacations, and the large amount of material thus obtained has not only directly enriched the museum, but by the exchange of duplicate specimens, has brought into our possession valuable material from the eastern States and from foreign lands, Mr. Dyche's prowess as a hunter and skill as a taxadermist have already laid the foundation for collections of mammals and birds, which it is hoped will ultimately include all the species, not only of Kansas, but of the entire Rockey Mountain region.
During the past year special attention has been paid to the enlargement of our geological cabinets. Occupied chiefly in giving instruction in so many branches, and in the constantly increasing labor of caring for the museum, the head of this department has found it impossible to personally visit many localities where rich returns await the geological explorer. Accordingly the services of Messrs. C. H. Sternberg and K. P. West have been obtained during a portion of the year for the purpose of securing, before it should be too late, some of the fossil remains which have made Kansas geologically famous, but which are being rapidly removed by enterprising eastern institutions of learning. In this way many rare specimens have already been added to our cabinets.
Mr. West has made a proposition to continue his labors in this field for an extremely moderate compensation. It is the earnest desire of the writer that this proposition may be accepted by our honorable board.
But the most important addition to our museum during the period covered by this report has been the so-called "Cooper Collection of Minerals." This collection contains nearly 10,000 choice specimens, and is especially rich in western and Rocky Mountain minerals. It contains many valuable gems and many large and showy crystals, besides a very full exhibit of gold, silver and copper ore from the most famous mines of Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. This entire collection is the result of many years of patient toil by Mr. J. C Cooper, a citizen of Topeka. It is the most valuable collection of minerals west of the Mississippi river, with a single exception in Denver. I seems eminently fitting that this splendid cabinet, the life-work of a citizen of Kansas, should find a permanent home at the State University Arrangements have been made by which this collection is now deposited in our museum, and it is sincerely hoped that the board of regents will take measures for its purchase.
By appointment of the Kansas Board of Agriculture, the duties of State Entomologist have devolved upon this department during the past two years. This appointment has led to a large correspondence with the farmers and fruit growers with reference to noxious insects and the best method of destroying them, and to the preparation of several articles on this subject for the monthly and quarterly agricultural reports.
The rapid growth of the natural history cabinets during the past few years, and the probability of still more growth in the immediate future, necessitates the enlargement of the space now available for museum purposes. Many of our most valuable specimens, important for illustration in the natural history classes, still remain unpacked in the boxes by which they were shipped from the collecting grounds, or are unsatisfactorily displayed in dimly lighted basement rooms of inconvenient access. The time has undoubtedly come for the erection of a commodious, well lighted, fire-proof hall of natural history. The transfer of this department to such a building would not only protect invaluable collections from destruction by fire, but would release several available lecture rooms in the main building for the use of other departments now suffering great inconvenience and damage in overcrowded quarters.

There is said to be a chapter of the great international fraternity, Sigma Nu, in Kansas University. The petitioners are said to have been solicited by Psi U., but preferred the prestige of Sigma Nu. The fraternity is a very select one, limiting its chapters to a few of the highest colleges. It now has representatives in the Missouri Normal School and Arkansas, and only extends to K. S.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JANUARY 30, I
State vs. Crane.
Promptly at three o'clock last Friday the regular term of the district court began, with Judge Linley on the bench. The docket presented for the first the celebrated criminal case of the State of Kansas vs. Cyrus Crane, charged with highway robbery. Some difficulty was had in obtaining a competent jury, but at last the panel was filled. Mr. Crane occupied a seat with his counsel, Gilmore & Morgan, and looked remarkably self possessed. The spectators were much impressed by his fearless bearing. County Attorney Talbott was assisted by Hon. J. V. Humphrey and P. J. Fritz, Esq. The prosecution examined several witnesses, showing by good circumstantial evidence that Crane was the guilty man; but rested their case mostly on the testimony of the prosecuting witness, Mr. A. L. Adams, directly to the fact that Crane was the robber. In Mr. Grover they had apparently caught a real tartar, but by the skill of Mr. Talbott he was finally quieted. His testimony was the most interesting of the day.
The defense then proved by the testimony of four witnesses that the robbery was committed by P. J. Fritz. Mr. Oakley, Mr. Adams' room-mate, testified that Mr. A. was much under the influence that night and couldn't see straight. Miss Haskell, who was one of the unfortunate sufferers by the robbery, was very emphatic in her statement that Fritz was the guilty man. Crane's diary, as written at the time, and afterwards found by Miss Manley, was introduced to show the integrity and probity of the defendant. Several other witnesses bore testimony to Crane's previous good character. Here the defense rested their case, and seemed confident of an acquittal. The prosecution, in rebuttal, put Mr. Little on the stand, and he testified to a conspiracy among the witnesses on defense, and denounced Crane's attorneys for attempting to bribe him; such bribe being indignantly spurned, as he could get a better price from the prosecution. The witness was rather rattled by the thorough raking given him in the cross examination by Gilmore.
Owing to the lateness of the hour the speeches of the attorneys were rather short, but we cannot refrain from noticing the legal logic displayed by Messrs- Talbott and Humphrey and the eloquent appeal of Mr. Gilmore.
This is probably the last of this celebrated case, as the county attorney is undecided whether to continue the prosecution of Crane, or to commence proceedings against Fritz. The whole affair of the robbery is still shrouded in a mystery which only time will dissolve. Mr. Crane is now on his own recognizance, but will probably have no further trouble. His
The jury retired and wrestled with a decision for a half hour, but still they could not agree, and finally reported the total inability to do so. Judge Linley then discharged them.
friends are very jubilant, claiming the disagreement as a substantial victory for Cyrus.
Better trust all and be deceived,
And weep that trust and that deceiving,
Than doubt one heart that if believed
Had blessed one's life with true believing.
Oh, in this mocking world too fast
The doubling dumb o'erakes our youth
Better be cheated to the last
Than lose the blessed hope of truth.

A certain K. S. U. young lady who sometimes gets tired of the regular routine of college work, undertook last week to have a little game of "freeze out." She invited her two "best fellows" around on the same evening, and having made a good fire in the parlor, felt sure of finding out who had the most "grut." The young men, however, finding out by experience that "' is a good plan to compare notes," thought "two company and three a crowd," so they adjourned to an up town restaurant and spent the evening quite pleasantly indeed. The young lady waited in vain till late, when the truth dawned upon her that

The University is steadily growing in usefulness and popularity. The State should cherish and encourage it in every possible way.-Governor John A. Martin's Message.
A more devoted servant to the agricultural interests of the State than is Prof. Snow does not labor in her interests.
The State legislature should do itself proud by voting the appropriation asked for Prof. Snow's building without dissent. The State must care for her benefactors.
The men composing the board of regents of the State University are as able and influential men as the State affords. They would not ask anything unreasonable of the State.
The State of Kansas has given her State University for building purposes in sum total, $77,000. The State of Missouri at the session of her last legislature, in one appropriation gave $100,000.
The Topeka Journal says in speak-of the $50,000 asked for Prof. Snow's natural history building, and of the value of the professor's investigations to the agriculturalists of the State: This small amount could not be better invested.
Prof. Snow's recent lecture in Topeka before the State Board of Agriculture, on the "Hessian Fly," which is doing such damage to the wheat crop over the country, is receiving the highest compliments of the press all over the country.
The board of regents in asking for $50,000 for a natural history building for Professor Snow's department, is asking for a something which has become a necessity to a man whose efforts in behalf of the farmers of the State is of the greatest value.
The legislature will necessarily be compelled to cut many appropriations asked for this winter, but we think if proper investigation is given the work Prof. Snow in his department is doing for the agricultural interests of the State, the small appropriation asked will be given without dissent. The building asked is now a necessity.
The average number of students $ \cong $ classes at the K. S. U. is larger than nine-tenths of of the colleges in the
United States. The professors and instrdtors receive less remuneration aor the amount of work done than in any other institution of similar grade and equal standing. What K. S. U. needs at present is more instructors and more room.
A military instructor. What is the reason that K. S. U. has not been provided with one? All over the land there are institutions whose numbers and facilities do not equal ours, yet they have a means of getting that most necessary part of a good education, "physical culture." Congress has already provided for it. It seems that about all there is to do to secure this long felt necessity is to interest the proper authorities in this matter, and with little doubt we will soon have that which will be a source of much benefit, and at little or no expense to the State. Yes, give us a military instructor by all means.
The board of regents at their meeting last Tuesday very generously appropriated $50 to the Courier for advertising purposes for the remainder of the year. Under the circumstances attending this action, however, the Courier does not feel justified in accepting such in the nature of an "appropriation"—cannot and will not. If the authorities desire to do any advertising in the Courier beyond what we see fit in our loyalty to our school to give, they will be given our regular advertising rates on a strict business basis. We are pained to be compelled to take this step, but actions of which we do not care to speak, yet deeply resent, has urged us to this conclusion.
Kansans are inclined to "poke fun" at Missouri as a "moss back bourbon State." But how would an appropriation bill for our University strike the legislature which would rank equal to the amount asked for the Missouri State University. This is the estimate which will be placed before the legislature of Missouri:
Current expenses . . . $55,000
Farm repairs and improvements . . . 49,000
Chemical laboratory . . . 30,000
To furnish three additional halls . . . 5,000
Heating scientific building . . . 1,800
Reconstruction and improvement of all buildings and grounds . . . 62,000
Armory and gymnasium improvement of grounds . . . 50,000
Fencing of grounds . . . 7,000
Electric lighting . . . 6,000

The State University. From the Topeka Journal of the 24th;
The "Fourth Biennial Report of the Regents, Faculty and Chancellor of the State University" is on our table. The University seems to be in a most prosperous condition. It is evidently an institution of which the State can well feel proud. The attendance now reaches nearly 500. The separate departments are doing their work well. Being the crowding point as it were in the higher education of the grandest public school system of any State in the union, it should be well fostered. By statistics on hand we see that the State has given for building purposes but $77,000 to this, whereas the city of Lawrence has
given $180,000; thus for this amount the State has property to the amount of $257,000 and an institution of higher education comparing well with the oldest and best colleges in the country. In the future Kansas can afford to be more liberal with her educational institutions. Though the salaries of the faculty are smaller than those of any other institution in the country,the regents ask no advancement.
What is asked this winter beyond the general appropriations is for the benefit of Prof. Snow's department of natural history, a man who is thorough in his researches, giving instruction as to the destruction, etc., of pests in agricultural interests, making himself a most generous benefactor to the farming interests of the State. He is a thoroughly practical man. His collections, worth upwards of $100,000, are surpassed by Harvard only in the country. His daily mails bring him scores of letters of inquiry from farmers of the State on pests in fruit, cereals, etc., samples enclosed, asking means of destruction, prevention, etc. What he asks now is a building for proper storage for these immense collections which have been collected by himself at comparatively no cost to the State. They are liable to destruction by fire at any time. Room is needed for proper laboratory investigation. The small amount asked could not be better invested by the State. Let a committee from the legislature visit this our highest school of learning, investigate its wants and see they are unstintedly filled.
We take the following from the Topeka Commonwealth of Wednesday;
We have read with great interest the "Fourth Biennial Report of the Regents, Chancellor and Faculty" of this institution. Although the appropriations in its earlier years were very meagre, it has made and is making wonderful progress. The University of Kansas has attained a position where it ranks among the highest institutions of learning in the country; comparing most favorably with the Universities of Michigan, California, Minnesota, Missouri and Iowa, although the lowest in endowment and in the salaries paid to its professors. Under the present chancellor it has made a steady, healthy growth in all that goes to make it a leading institution of the country.
The regents speak in complimentary terms of "the' generous appropriations"' of the last legislature, making possible "a notable increase in the facilities of instructions." The new chemistry building has been completed and equipped, and has exemplified the wisdom of the legislature in that appropriation. The members of the last legislature will remember with what persistency the appropriation was opposed. Its benefits already are inestimable. And yet who has felt any burthen from that donation? A fire proof library hall and an observatory are still lacking.
The last legislature defeated a bill for the latter object, which seemed to those who took the most interest in education, to be one of the imperative wants of the institution. Kansas has been most liberal in its donations to the cause of common schools, alike in its State management and in
the municipalities organized to carry on the common school system. But it has sometimes seemed to us too stringently economical in its appropriations to the higher branches. The contributions have been frequently wrung from unwilling representatives rather than generously bestowed. Representatives as well as people may we not rather say representatives because of the people?—lose sight of the fact that our State taxes are low, because the aggregate of county and municipal taxes have been exorbitant. The increase of tax to erect educational institutions bears no comparison in amount to the advantage to be derived from them.
The recommendations of the regents for increased salaries, now that Kansas is prosperous, ought to commend itself to the justice—we do not say generosity, but justice—of the law makers. Our State pays less than almost any other State in the union, Missouri included, for teachers. The reputation of Kansas as a progressive State, with enlightened public men, has thus far secured to our institutions men of learning and hardness of intellectual capacity much above the remuneration paid for similar services in older States. The pride of participating in laying deep the foundations of literature and statesmanship in a commonwealth whose past was so illustrated by deeds of patriotism, and the hopes of the future, have made great minds anxious to be identified with our history, and willing to contribute to the future glory of Kansas. They ought not to be asked to do it longer; or at least, there ought to be such an advance towards the minimum of educational salaries as to demonstrate that an advance was to be made somewhat coequal with the advancement of the institution. In this connection the increase of the library demands proper consideration.
As we understand the question, the most important—the most essential and indispensible—appropriation demanded by the wants of the institutions is a building for the department of natural history. This department has been built from its foundation by Prof. Snow, and he has labored with all the ability of a scholar as well as the ardor of an enthusiast to elevate it, until it has become the admiration of all the students of natural history, both at home and abroad, who have visited the institution.
Prof. Snow has made his collections with the most meagre means. With a few hundred dollars to pay mere expenses, he has sent forth his students in vacation, inspired with the spirit and ambition of the master head, he frequently accompanying them, and they have been seen on the prairies, in the desert, wherever a fossil could be picked up, a bird or a bug found, or sealing the crags of the mountains, until he has deposited in that building collections which could be put in the market and command more than $100,000. If he had invested the trifle spent by the State as a private individual in a business transaction, he would have been worth more than his salary for fifty years. And yet these valuable collections as time advances—may we not say invaluable?—occupy seven of the best rooms of the University, liable to be destroyed by fire at any moment, as
were recently similar valuables in the Missouri University.
The recommendations in regard to dropping the minor preparatory studies and devoting the institution to proper University work will attract attention as a necessary advance which the State is being prepared for by the advance of Normal. Academic and other institutions.
We wandered over the moutlit rocks, I and Penelope Jewett. We both were engaged to somebody else, Both knew that the other one knew it.
The glorious moon and the sky and the sea—How could I help but do it?
I went right to work making desperate love, But then, I knew that she knew it.
Considering how we were placed there together, It wouldn't be very wrong, would it?
If I told her, perhaps, rather than I meant, Remember, we both understood it.
We parted professing undying devotion. And—both knew the other would do It—Went back to our old loves, forgot quite each ostrich. And both knew the other one knew it.—Record

EXCHANGE.
An Outlook is the name of a new exchange from California. The fact that its editorial staff is made up entirely of young ladies is apparent throughout its well selected and well gotten up literary matter.
The Badger is very much disturbed over a circular which has been circulated in the University of Wisconsin, advertising ready made or made to order oralations, essays, poems, etc.
The Michigan Argonant is the best exchange we receive in the way of local news. There are now two annuals published at Ann Arbor, and still another is talked of.
Prof. Thompson, of the University of Pennsylvania, has been chosen to expound the theory of protection at Harvard this year.

Princeton contemplates extensive changes in her curriculum. It is proposed to decrease the number of studies a student has at any one time, and to increase the number of hours per week devoted to each study. The result will be fewer examinations, and it is hoped, a higher grade of scholarship in the branches pursued. $ - Ex_{2} $
It is a significant fact that the eastern colleges that favor scientific education instead of classical, have received the greatest gain in the number of pupils. The Institute of Technology and Cornell University are particular illustrations of this tendency, the former reporting one hundred more students than last year, and the entering class of the latter being larger than that of Yale, and according to reports, equal to that of Harvard. -Ex.

Not long ago a Freshman was going up to chapel, having one hand on the iron railing to prevent slipping. Suddenly, out of the door hurried a young lady. So startled was the Fresh, that he lost his presence of mind, and before he came to himself sufficiently to view the situation in a lucid manner, the young lady was clasped to—the young man "embraced the opportunity." Ask C—d—ll.
The following note was found in the corridor this week :
"Mary R——: If you think I am going to stand by and see you flirting around and receiving notes from other fellows, you are very much mistaken. If you have another fellow, have him, and I will get another, for two is company and three is not. I found one note that had been sent to you, and that was proof enough for me that you was going about with other fellows. I never suspected you was such a girl as that."

The Mecca of the Blind.
Frank Tickemyre, of Marshall, Mo., came to the Infirmary Oct. 12th, blind, and was led wherever he wished to go. The diseases were treachoma and ulcerative keratitis in a very destructive form; but the experienced eye of Dr. Kimberlin readily apprehended the trouble and most effectually applied the remedy, and Mr. Tickemyre returned home in 30 days a much happier man, rejoicing in the restoration of sight. Having frequently talked with him, and learned the particulars of the case, we give it to the public as he gave it to us.

In 1859, April 11, an institution of learning, bearing the name "THE UNIVERSITY OF LAWRENCE," was opened in the city of Lawrence, under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church. Rev. William Bishop, A.M., was president; C. L. Edwards, principal of Academic and Normal departments; Rev. Charles Reynolds, associate instructor. The Presbyterian Board of Education contributed $2,000 toward the erection of a college building. Contributions from citizens enabled the trustees to lay the foundation of the building on Mt. Oread now known as North College. Financial embarrassment compelled the suspension of work on the building, and led to a new organization under the control of the Protestant Episcopal church. A new charter was approved by the legislature for "Lawrence University of Kansas." January 9, 1861. Amos A. Lawrence, of Boston, had placed $10,000 at the disposal of the city, toward "the endowment of a school of high grade," on condition that a like amount be secured from other donations. Contributions from various sources enabled the new trustees to prosecute the building enterprise, so as to inclose an edifice fifty feet square, three stories high and containing eleven rooms, well adapted for school perposes.
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
was located in the city of Lawrence by formal act of the legislature of the State, in 1863. It was endowed in part by Congress, in the setting apart and reserving for its use, of seventy-two sections of the public land. The city of Lawrence also secured to the State forty acres of land for a campus, and all rights and interests in Lawrence University. Thus THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS has an intimate historical association with the University of Lawrence, one of the earliest, if not the earliest educational enterprise in the State.
The first meeting of the board of regents, fourteen in number, as constituted under the legislative act of March 1, 1864, was held in the city council rooms at Lawrence, March 21, 1865. Members present: Solon O. Thacher, Charles Robinson, James S. Emery, George Paddock, Daniel P. Mitchell, Isaac T. Goodnow and R. A. Barker. Rev. R. W. Oliver was appointed chancellor, and arrangements were made for the opening of a preparatory school, as soon as the citizens of Lawrence should provide suitable rooms for the same free of expense to the State. With those above named, J. D. Liggett, C. B. Lines, C. K. Holliday, E. M. Bartholow, T. C. Sears, W. A. Starrett and Joseph L. Wever, constituted the first board of regents.
FIRST STUDENTS
From the report of the first session, it appears that full tuition was $10 per term; that $331 was received from 39 students; and that a number not named in report were admitted free, under the law providing for "the orphans of deceased soldiers, and
those made so by the Quantrell raid." The total number on catalogue for the school year 1866-7 was 55, viz: 26 males, 29 females—all in the preparatory department.
NEW BUILDING.
The question of a new building had been agitated by the board of regents, and several plans proposed, both for procuring means and for architectural construction. The chancellor's report, Dec. 7, 1870, brought this subject very prominently before the public, and on February 3, 1871, the citizens of Lawrence "voted with great unanimity" $100,000, to be appropriated toward the construction of a new University building. The regent's report for 1872 credits the city of Lawrence:
Estimated value of building and site ... $30,000
Estimated value of site for second building 40,000
Amos Lawrence fund transferred ... 10,000
Amount voted by the city for a new build-
Total given by the city of Lawrence ... $180,000
The legislature of 1872 appropriated $50,000 towards the completion of the new building. With this sum all of the halls and rooms were plastered, and those in the north wing on first and second floors were finished. Apparatus for heating the whole building by steam was also put in place, and the new apartments were occupied in the fall of 1872. During the fall of 1877, an appropriation of $5,000 was expended in finishing fourteen additional rooms, and the sum of $10,000 was applied during 1877 in finishing the audience room and principal corridors of the building. University hall was formally opened on the 22d of November, 1877.
The legislature of the State, at its session of 1883, authorized the board of regents to make use of a surplus ($8,000) of interest remaining in the State treasury, to the credit of the University, in the construction of a building for the use of the department of chemistry, and in addition made an appropriation of $4,000 to complete its outfit. This work was accomplished during the summer and autumn of 1883, and the department of chemistry moved into its new quarters in January, 1884.
BUILDINGS.
All of the University buildings are constructed of native limestone, quarried in the immediate vicinity. North College is fifty feet square, three stories high, contains eleven lecture rooms, and stands near the center of a lot of ten acres within the city limits. The main building is 246 feet in extreme length, 98 feet wide in center, wings 62 feet each, main audience room 94 feet long, 56 feet wide. There are 54 rooms in the building, all designed for the work of instruction. In the north dome may be found a complete outfit of apparatus in constant use for taking weather observations. In the natural history rooms of the south wing are the cabinets of geology and mineralogy, and more than 100,000 specimens of beasts, birds, insects and plants, largely representing the animal and vegetable life of the great Mississippi valley. The south rooms of the basement and of the first floor are devoted to the department of physics.
The library occupies the west room of the south wing on the first floor; and near it, on the same floor, are the departments of English and of history and political science. The north
wing is given to languages and the mathematics. The center is occupied by the regents' room, office, cloak rooms, and University hall.
The new chemistry building stands at a short distance southwest from the main building. It is constructed upon the most approved plans, and furnished with all needful appliances for instruction. It is in the form of a T; the main building, extending east and west, being eighty by thirty-five feet, and the L north of this forty square. The main laboratory and lecture room are finished to the rafters, and all rooms on the main floor are provided with additional light and abundant ventilation by skylights. The ground floor rooms are twelve feet in the clear, and well lighted. These are occupied by an assay room, with crucible and muffle furnaces, and complete apparatus for the fire assay of ores; and also by laboratories for blow-pipe work.
The east wing of the main floor, which is fourteen feet to the eaves, is occupied by a lecture room, seated in amphitheatre style, and capable of accommodating one hundred students. In addition to the usual ventilating apparatus, the plan includes flues in the wall, connected with hoods; and hoods in the center of the main laboratory, which are ventilated by glazed pipes, terminating above the roof.
All the rooms are heated by steam and are supplied with gas, and with running water. The laboratory is for students in qualitative analysis, has over 25,000 cubic feet of air space, and will accommodate fifty-four students, each supplied with cupboards, sets of re-agent bottles and other necessary apparatus.
ENDOWMENT.
Prof. Snow's Collections.
During the past eighteen years annual appropriations have been made by the legislature for instruction and various other expenses of the University. Of the 46,000 acres of land with which the United States had endowed the institution, 29,597 acres had been sold prior to April 1, 1880. At the session of the legislature in 1879, the prices previously fixed upon these lands were reduced 25 per cent., the rate of interest on deferred payments changed from 10 to 7 per cent., and the time extended from 10 to 26 years, conditioned on payment of one-tenth down, and the remainder in nineteen installments with annual interest. These conditions resulted in the immediate sale of by far the larger part remaining of the University lands. The entire principal from the sale of these lands is paid into the State treasury and invested by the State board, interest alone being available for the current expenses of the institution.
Since the first opening of the University as a State institution, 2,937 students have been enrolled. The attendance has included both sexes in very nearly equal numbers, and no difference has been made in the course of study on account of sex.
The cabinet collections in Prof. Snow's natural history department now contains upwards of 100,000 specimens, illustrating chiefly the departments of botany, zoology and geology. These collections have been greatly increased during the past three years by the voluntary contributions of the exploring parties in

western Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico, in charge of the Professor of Natural History. By means of the material thus accumulated, a system of exchange has been established with leading institutions and naturalists in all parts of the United States, so the cabinets contain a very satisfactory representation of the plants, insects, birds, minerals and fossils, not only of the State of Kansas, but also of the whole of North America.
The Herbarium includes upwards of 3,000 species of plants, permanently protected from distruction by vermin, and systematically arranged for convenient examination by students and visitors. The method and arrangement is substantially the same as that adopted by Professor Asa Gray at Harvard University.
The Entomological collection contains more than 10,000 species, representing all the different orders of insects. The instruction in this department has special reference to the discrimination of the beneficial from the injurious species, and the extensive collections are of practical value to the agricultural and horticultural interests of the state, as well as to the students of the University, in the determination of the names and the habits of our insect friends and foes.
The Onithological cabinet comprises upwards of 1,200 specimens of birds, belonging to 500 different species. These specimens are carefully protected in moth-proof cases. A portion of them are unmounted skins, furnishing ample material for laboratory study when fresh specimens cannot readily be obtained.
An alcoholic collection of marine Radiates, Molusks and Articulates from the Atlantic coast affords to the zoological student the means of investigating the anatomical structure of the leading forms in all the great "types" of the animal kingdom.
In the Conchological cabinet [are included nearly 1,000 species of shells from all parts of the world. This cabinet has been enlarged by the receipt of several hundred species from the "John Milton Earle collection," at Worcester, Mass., obtained in exchange for Kansas specimens.
The Mineralogical and Geological cabinets contain upwards of 10.000 specimens, chiefly from Kansas and Colorado. A typical collection of the characteristic rocks and fossils of all the geological formations is constantly accessible to students in this department. Many valuable additions to these cabinets have been received from the Smithsonian Institute.
