Died, Feb. 1, at 12:30, at her home in this city, Miss Jennie E. Stallcup, of consumption. Miss Stallcup will be kindly remembered by the larger portion of the older students as a former student in the K. S. U. of quite brilliant qualities.
One of our professors recently took out his watch to wind it. After turning the key for several revolutions, he was aroused from his reverie by the fact that there seemed to be no progress made, and discovered he was only turning the hands around in a manner truly surprising to those steady individuals.
being that all the performers were young ladies. Of course there could be none, but favorable criticism. The debate after recess was conducted in the same old way by boys. The financial secretary made a gratifying statement as to the finances of the society. The president announced his appointments to the minor offices.
The regents at their meeting last week memorialized the city council to open up Oread avenue, which runs north from the University. This would result in greater facility in reaching the top of Mount Oread, and would be of advantage not only to students but to town people who wish to attend University entertainments.
Oread hall contained a good audience last Friday afternoon when President Riggs called the society to order. The program was a very interesting one, the special feature
An Ottawa University student was recently arrested on a telephone order from his girl to the sheriff for having stolen a tin box containing all the dear sweet-scented, ornamented love letters she had ever received from him.

Commencing Wednesday next, Feb. 11, Prof. MacDonald will give once a week for six weeks, a lecture on the "Outlines of Musical Forms." The design is to explain and illustrate the principles underlying the construction of the masterpieces of musical composition; avoiding technical terms as far as possible, and bringing the whole subject within the comprehension of the non-professional love of music. The following are the subjects for the different lectures: 1, Preliminary Definitions, The Minuet Form; 2, The Rondo, Themes and Variations; 3, Suite and Sonata; 4, Sonata, Symphony, Concerto, Overture; 5, Dance Forms; 6, Anthem, Cantata, Oratorio, Opera. The lectures will be given the third hour and are free to all students and their friends. We cannot better show our interest in the subject, or our appreciation of the advantages here offered, than by giving the professor a large audience at each lecture.
One of the departments of which we all feel proud is certainly that under the immediate charge of Prof. Dyche. A year has not elapsed since he began the work on the museum, and now the rooms assigned him are the admiration of all beholders. The work has all been done by the professor, nearly all the valuable specimens being actually the result of his own skill as hunter and taxidermist. Every specimen is placed in the most favorable situation, and the groups of deer which make up a large part of the central designs are so lifelike as to startle one with the sense of vitality. The great grizzly bears, as if in their native forest, look threateningly down on the careless sightseer. All around are ranged specimens of animals of all varieties and sizes, and birds of every description, from a sparrow to the largest eagle! The geological display in the next room is equally fine, and is the admiration of every student of that practical science. If we are granted the desired natural history building, under the energy and ability of Prof. Dyche Kansas University museum will soon become an honor to the institution and to the State. Even as it is now, in its contracted quarters, it is a great credit.
Native ability without an education is like a tree without fruit.

The University is steadily growing in usefulness and popularity. The State should cherish and encourage it in every possible way.-GovernorJohn A. Martin's Message.
Yale has just completed one wing of a natural history building that cost $175,000.
Missouri two years ago gave $100, 000 to her State University for building purposes alone.
The regents of the Missouri State University ask for $400,000 for that institution for the next two years.
Last spring Prof. Cope, of Philadelphia, offered his collection of fossils to the board of regents of the Missouri State University for $100,-000. The board at the present session of the legislature asks for $185,-000 for museum collections. They evidently are intent upon securing Prof. C.'s collection.
This week Prof. Snow received a large number of valuable specimens of beetles, making the collections now embrace six thousand species. By the aid of these he classifies the bugs daily sent in by farmers all over the State, and is able to tell the name and habits, and whether they are injurious or not.
Hutchings of Kingman Leader, what are you doing? We take the following from the Troy Chief of last week:
A paper called the Kingman Leader, edited by a graduate of the Freshman class of the State University, feels called upon to do some snorting on what he calls the attacks upon the University, and names the Chief as one of the papers that is assailing Prof. Canfield. Firstly, the Kingman Leader does not see the Chief, and doesn't know what it says upon any question, except upon hearsay. Secondly, we do not remember that we have had a word to say about Prof. Canfield for some months. Thirdly, we are just now feeling very friendly toward the State University, and those young graduates who are over-zealous in its behalf should not slop over without sufficient cause, least they get us started on the rampage again. When a fellow is going along all right, let him alone.
The Denison Collegian lambets the fact that in spite of the efforts of the president of the college their college reading room "seems to serve as a rendezvous for certain fellows who congregate there to talk, laugh and
rack jokes.” This same trouble exists in the library of the K. S. U. A casual visitor would think that the office of the librarian was to walk from one end of the room to the other and endeavor to keep order. At Denison University the trouble seems to come from a far different source than at the K. S. U. Here we are allowed to take but three studies and consequently have one vacant hour. We walk through the hall and perhaps stop to talk with a lady friend, or sit down near a register to study. We have scarcely gotten our mind fixed on the lesson when we hear footsteps; looking up we see the ever pleasant countenance of our chancellor, who approaches and says: “Won’t you please go to the library?” “Certainly,” we answer, and off we go. Arriving at the library we find a dozen or two more who came there for the same reason we did. They have no subject that they wish to look up; they don’t care about reading any of the numerous papers; if they have not studied their lessons for the following hours they wish help from some one who has; if they have, they commence talking about societies, contests, etc., until some one touches them on the shoulder, and they hear the polite request of the librarian: “Please don't make so much noise.” Then there is a momentary lull and the same program is repeated. If you really do wish to read or study you cannot on account of the noise. In short, the library seems to be diverted from the purpose for which it was established, and used as a “corral” for the student with a vacant hour.

The Natural History Appropriation.
From the Topeka Capital of yesterday, 5th inst., we clip the following:
No bill now before the legislature is more meritorious than that part of the University bill asking money for the construction of a building for the use of the department of natural history, under Professor Frank II. Snow. The question is not alone one of prospective good or educational policy. The pride of pre-eminent scholarship is only one of the factors to be considered. It is a question of absolute practical business necessity.
have done for the older States enst. He has given education in Kansas a large part of its wonderful impetus, and his pure and useful life has been a saying light to thousands of our youth.
Professor Snow has always been a bonanza to Kansas. A man of rare scholarship, he has given his time and talent patiently and conscientiously to the development of our own State, telling our farmers who are their friends and who are their foes, and doing for the State generally what whole generations of strong minds
He has brought to the University its first bequest since that of Amos Lawrence, namely: the Spooner bequest of about two hundred thousand dollars; and finally his collections in the several branches of science, represent an actual cash value to the State of probably not one cent less than one hundred thousand dollars.
These collections have been made at an expense of perhaps three thousand dollars to the State, the professor and his assistants, and pupils having given their time free during vacations, and the various railroads of the State having contributed free transportation to help in the work of collecting. The collections will grow more valuable every day, as they include many specimens which are no where duplicated, and which most likely never will be duplicated. For instance, one small specimen showing the petrified skin of a saurian will bring five thousand dollars in hard cash any day the State will consent to part with it. In short, these collections are valuable in the same way that any stock of goods in any Topeka store is valuable, and should be guarded as carefully as a banker would protect his bonds, notes and currency.
A fire in the main University building would destroy in the collections alone as much as the whole building is worth. This very thing happened recently in Wisconsin, and that state will never be able to make good its loss. The state legislature refused a request similar to the one now pending here, and as a result, robbed the state of fully $200,000.
The state has paid Professor Snow since he has been in Kansas, perhaps $30,000 for eighteen years' work. In return for this he has given his time as instructor; has educated the people on questions of vital importance to our industrial welfare; has brought us a bequest of $200,000, and has heaped up a collection of natural history specimens worth at least another $100,000. Kansas could afford to hire as many men of that kind as could be found. The seven rooms in the main University building now used by the natural history department are sorely in need for other collegiate work. In short, the necessity of this improvement is, as we see it, almost absolute. We hope the gentlemen of the legislature will take the same view.

EDITOR VIEWS:—There has been considerable discussion lately about the establishment of a military department at the University. As I happen to know some facts relating to its establishment and maintenance in other schools, I will give them, thinking that perhaps some of your readers will be interested. I select the following from Section 1225, Revised Statutes: "The president may, upon application of any established college or University within the United States, having capacity to educate at the same time not less than one hundred and fifty male students, detail an officer of the army to act as president, superintendent or professor thereof. But the number of officers so detailed shall not exceed thirty at any one time, and they shall be apportioned throughout the United States as may be practicable, according to population."
Thus the president is able to ap. point an officer to take charge of the department, and all it needs is a little pushing. The department could not be made a success without an officer in charge, and he must be appointed through the president. The government will furnish 3-inch rifled guns with carriages and limbers, and all accoutrements. Also 150 Springfield cadet rifles, calibre 45, and attachments, and a yearly allowance of ammunition is provided. The institution must give a bond double the value of the property for the care and safe keeping thereof, and for the return of the same when required. The bond required would therefore be $9,590.90. Question: Will the reagents do this? L. K. Z.
EDITOR VIEWS: Now that the examinations are over it is a good time to consider the studies we have been taking and are about to take. In a State institution of no more wealth nor standing than this, the aim should be simply to fit the students as much as possible for the lives they are to lead.
Since it is impossible in the four years of college life to study everything, a student should become thoroughly acquainted with those which he chooses as being most suitable for him. Is this the case in our institution? Every student, whether he is to be a lawyer, preacher or farmer, is compelled, at the expense of other studies, to worry through such special studies as botany, chemistry and zoology.
Many a student leaves Latin knowing nothing about it; leaves German with but a few weeks study, soon to be entirely forgotten in order to obtain a smattering, for example, of zoology, so indispensable to the daily pursuits of life. Let special students study everything that comes in their line, but why compel a person who intends to become a minister of the gospel to toil among old fossils, bugs and the intestines of a cat?
The question is simply this: "Is it better to acquire a slight smattering of every study known to the civilized world, or to master those studies which are both of practical benefit and suited for mental training?"
When our institution can slough off and rise above its cranny and fanatical rules, when it shall widen out to the breadth of its purpose, then and not till then can it accomplish its aim as an institution of learning. R.

We are in receipt of a volume of Houghton, Mifflin & Co.'s, Boston, Mass., series of American Statesmen, "John Adams." The series is under the editorship of John T. Morse, Jr., and by the best literary talent of the country. Fourteen volumes are now complete. The object of the series seems not merely to give a number of unconnected narratives of men in American political life, but to produce books which shall, when taken together, indicate the lines of political thought and development in American history—books embodying in compact form the result of extensive study of the many and diverse influences which have combined to shape the political history of our country.

Information as to Our University
On rules, regulations, etc., in the University, we take the following from the annual catalogue prepared by the regents and faculty:
READING ROOM
More than fifty newspapers and scientific, literary and art journals add to the attractiveness of the reading room, and furnish a large and varied amount of matter of great importance to the student.
SOCIETIES.
Three literary societies, the Oread, Orophilian and Normal, and one Engineering society, are regularly organized and maintained by the students. The sessions of the first two are held every Friday afternoon, in halls permanently assigned to them and which they have elegantly furnished. The work of the present year has been very satisfactory, and the societies are in a flourishing condition.
UNIVERSITY LECTURES.
A course of evening lectures is provided for each year, to be delivered in University hall by such persons as a committee of the faculty may invite. These lectures are popular discussions of varied scientific and literary topics of general interest, and are especially designed for the benefit of students.
Courses of study and times for recitation are arranged for three daily exercises of one hour each, for all regularly organized classes. Professional and special studies are subject to special provisions.
STUDIES AND RECITATIONS.
RECORD OF STANDING.
Students are expected to pursue three studies for daily recitation, and any change from this number, or from one division of a class to another, or any exchange of one study for another, must be permitted by the faculty.
Each instructor keeps a record of class standing in collegiate classes, based upon regularity of attendance and character of recitations. At the close of each term a summary is made, and the average of daily recitations and stated examinations is reported to the clerk for entry upon general record. Any student, or the parent or guardian of any student, will be furnished with a copy of the entries relating to that student, on application to the clerk.
ABSENCES AND EXCUSES.
It is of the utmost importance, both in the formation of correct habits, and in the successful prosecution of University work, that the student maintain regular attendance at recitation and other general exercises. No excuse for absence is regarded as valid except for illness or other unavoidable prevention, and unexcused absences from recitation are entered as failures. Excuses for absence should be rendered without delay to the professor in charge.
That the generosity of the State may not be abused, and that perfect justice may be done all who are earnestly striving to make the best possible use of the opportunities offered, the faculty have established the single requirement: Unexceptionable department and stric tattention to University duties. For violation of this there is but one penalty—dismissall.
DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES.
Devotional exercises are held in University hall every morning.
EXAMINATIONS.
Written examinations of the classes are held at the close of each term, on the studies of that term. The examinations are important elements in determining the advancement of students, and absences from examinations, from any cause, are entered upon the records.
TERMS AND VACATIONS.
The Academic week is divided into two terms, the first beginning on the first Wednesday following the 4th of September. For particulars see calendar.
FEES.
There is no charge for tuition, but a contingent fee of five dollars per term, and a graduating fee of five dollars, are required of Academic and Normal students. No part of the contingent fee is refunded except for protracted absence caused by sickness.
The treasurer's receipt for contingent fee must be presented by each candidate for examination or enrollment. The fee will be returned to students not admitted on examinations. The treasurer's receipt for graduation fee is due on delivery of diploma.
Orphans of soldiers and citizens killed in Quantrell's raid, are exempt from the payment of the contingent fee.
A deposit of from three to five dollars is required of students in special chemistry, to cover loss and breakage. At the end of each term all the material returned in good order will be credited to the student, and any balance remaining will be refunded.
COURSES OF STUDY.
RECITATIONS.
These are arranged to accommodate the tastes and purposes of students. Each course is complete in itself, and no one course is designed to be easier or shorter than another. We urge students who select studies for a short time to adopt some course and pursue it so far as practicable. A special course should not be adopted until the elementary studies are mastered.
All students, whatever the course of study, recite to experienced instructors, and when the subjects studied are common to two or more courses, the students recite in the same classes. Students irregular in course must conform in time for recitation with the daily scheme. When two desired recitations occur at the same hour, preference should be given to the study lowest in grade.
Candidates for the Preparatory department, first year, must be at least fourteen years of age, must have a knowledge of arithmetic, physical and descriptive geography, English grammar, United States History, Latin grammar and reader (except for general scientific course), be able to read intelligibly and write a legible hand.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR ADMISSION.
New Board of Regents.
The Senate yesterday confirmed the appointments of Judge A. G. Otis and M. P. Stimpson, of McPherson County, for term expiring in 1886; Hon. Geo. R. Peck and C. R. Mitchell, term expiring 1887; Supt. F. A. Fitzpatrick and C. W. Smith, the first alumnus ever on the board, term expiring 1888. The Courier gives cordial greeting.
Those entering higher classes are examined on all subjects required of the classes below. These examinations occur regularly at the opening and closing of eace term. Special examinations are given at the convenience of the professor in charge. Graduates from those High schools adopting the regents' plan, receive certificates from their principals, and are not examined at the University.
New Board of Regents.
Kansas University Science Club.
The Science Club held its first meeting last Friday afternoon in Prof. Bailey's lecture room There was a large attendance, and a good program was rendered. Prof. Dyche gave an exceedingly interesting talk on his trip to the Rocky Mountains last summer, in which he related his encounters with the bears he killed, spoke of the four-foot blow-fly which inhabits that country, and gave a good idea of a naturalist's experiences in the field. J. D. McLaren then read a very interesting paper on the "Analysis of the Vowel Sounds," by means of the flames of a gas jet, illustrated by experiments, during which he entertained the audience with some of his favorite songs (?).
The constitution and by-laws were then adopted and a committee appointed to make arrangements for an excursion to the smelting works of Argentine.
The next meeting will be held in the chemistry building Friday, Feb. 13, at which the following program will be rendered: Sugar, Prof. E. H. S. Bailey; Washington's Monument, E. D. Cruise; Pressed Brick, E. D. Eames; Dry-plate Photography, R. Short; Scientific News, A. L. Adams.
After each paper the members are permitted to ask questions on the subject, so that it may be thoroughly understood.
Although the membership is already quite large, all collegiate students are invited to join the society, and everybody is invited to attend its meetings.
the literary program was indeed a "feast."
Class of'88.
Last Friday evening the much expected class party of '88 became a firm reality. Twenty-seven couple of the very brightest of K. S. U.'s boys and prettiest of K. S. U.'s girls made a brilliant sight to the theological student representing the Courier, as they whirled in the mazy waltz, trod the majestic figures of the lively quadrille and distinguished themselves in all the ways so well known to youth and beauty. The A. O. U. W. hall certainly never saw a happier, merrier crowd. After enjoying themselves for a couple of hours President Posthlwaite assumed the seat of state and called the class to order. T. F. Doran delivered the address to his classmates. Mr. Doran is well known as one of the most eloquent speakers in the University, and he certainly did himself the utmost credit that evening, and reflected honor upon '88. Miss Kate Merrill, the favorite soprano, next favored the class with a solo, which was most enthusiastically encored. Miss Pearl Young rendered a very difficult selection in her usual charming manner, and we only need say sustained her former high reputation. Mr. Franklin then delighted the audience with one of his beautiful cornet solos. All in all
REP.
But '88 has an inner man whose wants must be attended to. We are sure he was satisfied that night; for a bountiful repast awaited the class on their arrival at caterer Harris'. Then dancing was resumed and kept up till the lateness—or earliness—of the hour warned the jolly Freshman that all things must have an end, even their first and very successful class party.
What the Courier Would Like to See
Will Little go to prayer meeting. Cook and Curry play a game of pool.
McLaren's girl.
Gilmore keep still in the history class.
John Sullivan get "rattled."

J. B. Shane's Gallery.
J. B. Shane, photographer, whose advertisement appears on another page, has done some excellent work for students in the past week—work which will compare highly favorable with any which we have ever seen given out in the city. He gives students a rate of $3.00 per dozen on photographs, cabinet size, on work that cannot be gotten at another gallery in the city for less than $4.50 to $6.00. We have positively seen some work this week from his gallery which excels the greater part of the work put out by artists here or in Kansas City. This rate is given simply as an inducement for students' trade. The cry of "cheap rates for cheap work" does not hold with him. From work done for students this week it is a positive saving of money to give him patronage. Before going elsewhere give him a call and see some of this work. His rates, remember, are but $3.00 for cabinet size and $1.25 for card size photographs.

LOCAL.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 13, 1885
Hurrah!
For Gilmore.
Emporia next.
Wasn't it cold?
The "graduate" didn't get there.
There are rooms all over town "to
ct."
Last Monday night was the coldest of the year.
Chapel rhetoricals have been very fine this week.
Of course Mrs. Dudley "didn't know it was loaded."
The town people did not turn out well to the contest.
The Junior Prep French class has sixty members.
Everybody is satisfied with the result of the contest.
There is a great deal of silent working going on in Oread.
The exceedingly funny man is abroad with his valentine.
Chapel attendance has been even lighter than usual this week.
Quite a number of the students froze their ears on Tuesday morning.
The State oratorical contest will be held at Emporia March 13th.
The library was very cold all this week; too cold to permit much work in that department.
The Oread political pot begins to bubble; merely the wind coming to the surface. Wait till it boils.
There were many absences Monday and Tuesday, on account of the cold weather.
A Baldwin "Junior" was here has to week, and will try to enter our Senior Prep class.
The Scientific society will try to make an excursion to the Argentine works soon.
The Junior class has shown commendable enterprise in working up the University ball.
Moot court was in session at the court house Monday night, Judge Summerfield presiding.
It is beginning to feel like home again in Oread as the "June program election" approacheth.
The members of the Oratorical Association are jubilant over the three hundred per cent. dividend.
Prof. Sterling marks an absence the same as a failure, and it has to be "marked off" in the same manner.
If the reports of the societies do not appear in our columns please don't blame us, but look to your negligent reporter.
There will be a special examination in qualitative analysis Friday, February 27th, from one to six in the afternoon.
The committee in charge of working up a crowd to go to Emporia to hurrah for Gilmore when he wins, report good progress.
The Orophilian reporter went on a
“toot” last week, we suppose. At
least his report failed to materialize in the COURTER office.
The University ball will be the event of the season. The time is set for Friday, February 20th, at Frazer hall. Very neat invitations are out, and the affair will doubtless be extremely recherche.
“Are you badly hurt, Rossa?” asked one of the “boys” when O'Donavan was shot. “Och, it's dy'namite be, for all I know.
The committee on invitations for the University ball have gotten out the invitations. Owing to inability to obtain a perfect list of students they may have overlooked some, and will be glad to rectify any such mistake.
Chapel rhetoricals for the week ending February 23d: Monday, E. G. Blair, W. S. Bales; Tuesday, W. H. Brown, E. M. Cox; Wednesday, Cyrus Crane, Ed Cruise; Thursday, D. J. Dunn, A. P. Fellows; Friday, R. Birbeck, Nettie Brown.
At Baldwin the management of the Oratorical Association is vested in the literary societies. This year they got into a row which has resulted in a split in one of the sovieties, and such a bitter war that no contest could be held, and Baldwin will not be represented in the State contest.
The remains of the Athletic Association were resurrected last Friday. The treasurer reported the rather minus financial condition of the organization, and a committee was appointed to investigate as to where the money had gone which was raised last spring. The report will be awaited with interest.

The Juniors had better not have a "Junior Night." As it is they are posted for rhetoricals for Friday mornings, when the students have to attend. But unless attendance is compulsory that evening, where will '86 get an audience?
The chapter of I. C. sorosis here, not content with taking the lead in K. S. U., has shown its usual enterprise by the establishment of a flourishing young chapter at the University of Denver. The new chapter was instituted by Miss Addie Sutliff, of '84. The I. C. feel proud, for all the other ladies' fraternities were doing their utmost to enter that University, but I. C. darted ahead and won the prize.
The Oratorical Association met Monday, and after indulging in congratulations upon the success of their enterprise proceeded to business. The net receipts of the contest were $56. After deducting enough to pay expenses of orator and delegate, a dividend of three hundred per cent was declared on stock. A committee on three, consisting of Morgan, Doran and Adams, was appointed to work up the transportation to Emporia.
Prof. Miller, librarian, received January 23, from New York, the following books: Annals of Congress, 1789 to 1824, 42 volumes; Congressional Debates, 1824 to 1837, 29 volumes; Congressional Globe, 1837 to 1866, 66 volumes; total, 137 volumes. The librarian is also about to secure 13 volumes of the Journals of the Continental Congress from Sept. 1774 to Nov. 1788. The above books constitute a complete record of American Congress from 1774 to 1866.
Oread hall was well filled last Friday afternoon when President Riggs called the society to order. The program was an excellent one, and all the productions showed great ability and work. The essay of Miss Sadie Emery was one of the best ever delivered in Oread hall. Miss Emery is one of the best writers in the University, and her essay was up to her usual standard. Mr. Markley read a funny oration. Miss Luella Moore had one of her excellent readings. Miss Nettie Brown, well known as Oread's declaimer, delivered a selection from John G. Saxe. Morris Cox followed with a very good reading. Miss Ella Ropes had an essay, well written and well delivered. Prof. Keck favored the society with a solo and delighted the audience. All Oreads hope he will repeat the favor. After recess the question Resolved, That examinations should be dispensed with in higher grade schools, was debated on the affirmative by Crane and Yeager; on the negative by Russ and Markley. A committee was appointed to secure a State charter for the society.

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.
Chair of Pedagogy.
Several years ago a committee of the National Teacher's Association reported a scheme for Normal training of teachers in this country.
Among the different things recommended, including State Normal schools, institutes, etc., was the establishment in every University of a chair of pedagogy, under the operation of which the true theory of education, its relation to the individual and to society, together with its history in our own and foreign countries, should be thoroughly taught, and the principles and methods applicable to higher education should receive their appropriate attention.
In harmony with this report several of our western States, including Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and Minnesota, have already established such chairs of pedagogy in their State Universities. And the question has many times been raised, "Is not this the proper disposition to be made of our Normal department?" In fact, the post graduate Normal course adopted by the regents last year was a step in this direction.
Leaving the work of the preparation of the common school teachers to our State Normal school, should not the University address itself, so far as preparation of teachers is concerned, to higher education.
In the issue of two weeks ago we gave the occupations of our graduates, and it will be remembered a large number went into the profession of teaching. Hence the importance, nay, the necessity of having the principles of this science thoroughly taught in our University.
The great and irrepressible conflict of the present here and everywhere, must be the conflict between intelligence and ignorance, virtue and vice.
In the presence of this immense struggle, all others must sink into comparative insignificance; for upon its success must depend the final triumph of all that is good in man, and therefore all that is great on earth.
The child is father to the man, mother to the woman and parent to the citizen. Whatever therefore we would desire the man, the woman, the citizen to be, that they must be made to be by training up not only the child, but every child, in the way he should go. This, then, is precisely the great overshadowing inexorable want of the whole people. There is far too much loose, vague and slipped work done, not only in our elementary schools, but in our secondary or preparatory schools.
We need not only more preparatory schools for the University, but we need better schools quite as much. The great thing in education is not merely to teach the pupil how to use the printed page, but how most efficiently and wisely to use himself, physically, mentally, socially and morally.
We trust our legislature will not only make most liberal provisions for the other departments of the University, but will establish a permanent chair of pedagogy.
Why a State University?
Why a State University?
The Courier has been asked to give some good reason why the State should support an institution for higher education.
The reason is so old and so good, as it seems to us, that we hesitate at repeating it. It is now commonly accepted as a principle in government that the State may rightly assume the control of such necessary measures for the public welfare, as cannot or will not be well managed by private citizens. This is, indeed, the very function of government. It is this principle which authorizes the government control of the postal service; it is invoked to uphold the assumption by the State of the telegraph system.
The point is, then, to show that higher education is necessary to the welfare of the State, and that it cannot or will not be furnished by private
Rightly directed higher education furnishes the material for doctors, lawyers, preachers, editors, statesmen and all sorts of writers, as well as assistance toward being happier men and more faithful citizens. Not that there are not many in these professions, and many good and happy citizens without such education, but the more and the higher their education, the better lawyers, preachers, doctors, editors, statesmen, and writers they will be, and the happier they may be. Now every one must recognize how important it is that these positions be occupied by the best possible material, and, indeed, that the State will languish in which there are not the very best of such men.
But cannot this training be furnished equally well by private enterprise?
If done by private means it will be in one of two ways: Either furnished free by donations, or at tuition as a business investment. In the latter case the danger is too great; is indeed inevitable, that the quality is cheapened in the course of competition; and secondly, the mutual independence of students and instructors cannot be secured under such a system, the management being dependent on keeping the student, the student being conscious of that fact.
Now it is of the utmost importance that every safeguard be established against the lowering of the standard, since the public is more helpless against adulterated education than against olemargarine.
In the second case, the State must sit quietly by and see its sons and daughters exported for educational purposes until a sufficient number of sufficiently rich people have become sufficiently impressed with the desirability of the thing, to establish a college. Of course the State cannot depend on any such haphazard for its foundation work.
And finally, we call especial attention to the fact that no great University has ever been built up without the support of the State.
One common objection we wish to notice. It is said that the benefits of a University are for the few, and that it is unjust that the whole people should be taxed for its support.
Will our objecting friends tell us wherein the same principle does not apply to the building of bridges, improvement of water courses, maintenance of police and prison systems, and many other works for which the whole people are taxed?
Kansas Science.
Just now the students of this University can benefit themselves and the State by earnestly working for the proposed natural history building. The arguments for the measure cannot be too often repeated.
As students of Kansas University, we need the building. We have come here to study the accumulated knowledge of the world; to see and understand the leading principles of every great branch of truth. We believe that to be able men and women we must get a broad view of the world and what man may know of it, before we can do the best work in our own little valleys. We must know the relation of our own special callings to the rest of the world's work, or we shall become as narrow minded as the dog in the manger.
We study higher mathematics with formula and diagram, and apply the thought in drawing, in surveying the campus and in other sciences. We study chemistry, and handle the elements themselves in our well equipped chemical laboratory. We study physics and experiment with machines and heat and electricity in the physics laboratory. We study history and apply it in the government of our college societies and in our opinion of public measures. We study mental and moral science and apply it to our studying, our practiced teaching and our dealings with human nature. We study language and express our thoughts more clearly, and understand our books more fully.
After all this, there yet remains much more. The science of life must yet be studied. So we study plants and animals, and man is an animal. Upon our knowledge of these depends our supply of vegetable and animal food, and our health and strength. These are every day matters, very commonplace, but exceeding necessary. Men have found out a little about these things and have
written this little down in botanies, zoologies, physiologies and geologies. The reading of these books helps us to see the real relations in this living, breathing, active world. But as we found it necessary in the other sciences to study their objects, so in these life sciences we gather the plants, animals and fossils in the field, study them in the laboratories, and arrange and keep them in the cabinets. Thus we see things with our eyes, and not with other men's. When we work in the outside world we shall there be more able to see things with our own eyes, and not depend so much upon our book learning. We must be not book farmers, book surveyors, book chemists, book mechanics nor book orators.
The regents have asked the State to build us a natural history building because they know we need one. The other sciences are fairly equipped. With their present appliances we can get abreast of the world's knowledge, but in natural science we can only get glimpses. The discoveries of the last century have added much. The development theory, or so-called "evolution," cannot be understood by us until our plants, animals and fossils are arranged in roomy, well lighted cabinets, according to their God-given relations. Until then, we cannot see the grand plan of the universe; we cannot realize the effect of nature upon man; we cannot understand history nor religion. As it now is, a few of us think zoology a dry study, and vote natural science a humbug.
Pof. Snow has inspired and helped us to collect much of the needed material. Long ago this overflowed our few poorly lighted and scattered cabinets, and three store rooms are filled with packed boxes. Many valuable specimens are thus being destroyed, and the interest in collecting is for this reason beginning to lag. The present cabinets are so poor and so scattered that no proper arrangement can be made. Prof. Snow, assisted by Dyche and West, stands ready to attempt to arrange these, and thus display the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdom in a grand Educative People's Museum, if the State will furnish the building.
VIEWS.
Not many years ago Louis Agassiz made the same request to the Massachusetts legislature, and that state has never regretted that it made the investment. The scientific thought of her common people help to make her a great State. Our Prof. Snow is as famous as Agassiz was at first. He does not boast as much, but works as steadily. The task can be trusted to him.
Pay your Subscription on the Courier before the Business Manager calls on you with a bill.
As students we need the building, but as citizens of Kansas we need it none the less. Let us exert our little influence to its utmost. This State is rich enough that its citizens should know as much as any other people, that our scientists should be the equal of any German, Englishman or New Englander. We students go out to teach our brother citizens who cannot come to college. We teach him not only in the school, but in the field and shop. That he may know the truth we must be well informed. We also, are citizens. Let us work.
EDITOR COURIER:—
I notice in your issue of January 23rd, a protest by an "Engineer" against the requirement of French and German in the Engineering course, which I cannot pass in silence. I am willing to admit that one may be a good engineer without a knowledge of any foreign language. I know personally that some efficient engineers, names known and honored all over the country, and rightly so, have almost no book knowledge of any kind, not even of mechanics. But at the same time, I hold that no institution of learning should certify a man to the world as fully equipped.
In my own experience since leaving the University I have found a knowledge of both French and German of very great value. In fact, I may say that one of the most responsible positions I have held could not have been obtained by me without such knowledge. In many cases which have come under my observation, the ability to speak French has been of great value professionally, while to an engineer pretending to keep at all abreast with the progress of his profession, the ability to read French and German is simply indispensable.
In the eastern states at least, the amount of knowledge required of any applicant for a position is yearly becoming greater. In the New York state and city service, applicants are now required to pass a severe examination before being put on the lists for selection. If the standard for graduation is to be changed at all, then let it be raised rather than lowered. C.E.

One person only out of six entered for a contest can win, and he, so to speak, at the expense of the other five. If we need practice in public speaking, why don't we attend the literary societies more regularly?
EDITOR VIEWS: — As the present legislature, will in a few weeks discuss and act upon the druggists' bill, a "word to the wise" will not be amiss here.
If the bin is passed it will excuse all persons from carrying on a drug trade unless they are graduates of a pharmaceutical college. As there is no college of this kind in the state, it will be of great detriment to the people, unless such a school is established. As the University is the only institution in the state capable of giving instruction in that line, it would necessarily be required to organized such a department. This could be easily done (and cheaply too), for with our two highly competent professors, Messrs. Snow and Bailey, together with their assistants, only one other instructor would be required, viz: a professor of Materia Medica.
The passage of such a bill, if provisions were made for the establishment of such a department, would prove highly beneficial to the profession and the community at large, but if no provision were made, there are some doubts as to whether it would be a good thing or not. When the bill is presented, let the legislature look wisely at it, and I think they will see that such a law cannot be effectual unless means are provided by which men may be educated to the popular standard. R
EDITOR IVEWS;—I would like to express through the columns of your paper the disapprobation existing among the students at large for analytical geometry.
As the writer some day aspires to a place in the Christian ministry, it does not become evident to him why he should be required to take such a study, for the time necessary for its proper preparation is greater than that of any other study.
True the faculty are now working upon a plan to make it optional in some departments, but if in one it should be in all, for those who like it and prefer to take it, would select it whether optional or not, and those who did not desire to take it would take no interest in the study, and as the greater part of the students compose this class, those who did revel in it could not make as rapid progress as when only those of their particular sect took it.
NOTES.
Then too, its influence over the morals of a theological student is very bad. In the preperation of a lesson in analytics, the mind instead of dwelling upon pure and holy things, invariably passes to what might be termed very bad words. So the best thing that could be done would be to make analytics optional.

The Junior class is endeavoring to revive the old custom of a "Junior Night." Some years ago the Juniors were excused from chapel rhetoricals for the last session, and allowed to mass their productions before an admiring public. '82 was the last class to do this, and since then the ambitious Junior has been obliged to content himself with a worn out audience who have scarcely reached the chapel in time to make the second door. We hope '86 will carry out the plan.
"86."
The Junior class held its regular semi-annual meeting last Friday. The principal business to be transacted was the election of officers. The following were elected: President, Clara Poehler; vice president, Hattie Haskell; secretary, Nettie Brown; treasurer, Solon T. Gilmore; poet, Cora Kimball; prophet, Harry A. Smith; historian, Laura Lyons; master of athletics, T. F. Oakley. The university hop was then discussed, the financial part especially. It was decided with astonishing unanimity that if there was any deficit it would be made up by an assessment upon each member of the class. The meeting then adjourned to meet in three weeks, to elect a June program,
"87."
--ex si to
The regular semi-annual meeting of the Sophomore class was held last Friday. The following officers were elected: President, Fannie Pratt; vice president, E. G. Blair; treasurer, Luella Moore; historian, E. D. Cruse; poet, Ella Ropes; master of athletics, W. T. Reed. Nothing was done concerning the much talked of class party. The class adjourned to meet next fall.
The speaker being absent the secretary called the Orophilian society to order and appointed Charles Elwell temporary chairman. There was the usual interest manifest in the program, which however was very short on account of the non-appearance of many who should have been present. We fear that Orophilians are losing their interest and enthusiasm. We would suggest that if they wish to maintain their superiority over their rival (the Oreads) they must perform their duties better, and attend more regularly in the future than they have of late. Of the productions before recess the declamation by Caywood was essetially good, considering it was his first appearance so far as we recollect. The music furnished by Miss Bell and Mr. Albach was highly enforced. After recess the society was divided into two divisions, the Dorians and the Ionians, the purpose of which was to become better acquainted with parliamentary law. The battle commenced by the Dorians introducing a measure for the purpose of levying a tax of $2.50 on each member, to go to the piano fund, and the Ionians taking all lawful means to defeat the measure. The members derived great pleasure as well as great benefit from the discussion.

I hate, thou hates, he hates
To hear a girl 'laugh—how it galls!
"I stap, thou stappet, he strape;
I swear, thou swearsest, he swears;
I snap, thou snappest, he snaps
Suspenders, and every one stares."
Oratorical Contest.
The opera house was filled last Friday night by expectant people who anticipated a treat in listening to the orations of the six contestants, Little, Bruce, Gilmore, Linley, Morgan and Smith.
Will T. Little was the first orator, and delivered an oration on "The Three Graces." The subject was well handled and delivered in very fine style. Mr. Little has a good voice, and perfect control of himself while speaking. He made a fine appearance on the rostrum.
B. K. Bruce spoke next on the subject "A View of the Teacher." Considering Mr. Bruce's reputation as an orator, it is hardly necessary for us to say anything farther. We will add, however, that upon this occasion his old standard was not lowered in the least.
S. T. Gilmore followed with "Individual Manhood" as his subject. Mr. Gilmore's popularity as a speaker has steadily increased for the past two years, and the decision of the judges in the late contest will have no tendency to retard his progress in that direction. It was in his favor that the decision was rendered.
Victor Linley was next on the program, and his subject was "Byron." This oration was one that Mr. Linley delivered last June. It was well written in all its parts, and showed careful study had been made of the life and habits as well as the works of that great poet.
W. Y. Morgan was next to the last speaker, and his subject was "Wyeliff and Woolsey." Mr. Morgan is considered one of the best writers and speakers in the University, and this speech only goes to strengthen his reputation. It was well written and well delivered.
Carl Smith, the sixth and last speaker, spoke on "Yesterday, Today and To-morrow. Mr. Smith entered the University only last fall, but in this short time has built up quite a reputation as a declaimer. His subject was handled well, and the delivery was excellent.
Music was furnished by Miss Mable Gore, Messrs. Blair and Higgins, and the University quartette.
Below is the detailed markings of the judges, which will show how the battle was won and lost.

The Alamo and San Jacinto Monthly comes to us all the way from Texas. The article on the "Fathers of Texas" is quite interesting, as it gives the early history of the State, and several good pictures of the leading Texans of that time. The opening poem, on the "New Year," sounds as though it might have been written by some hot headed, fire eating Texan. We always had an idea, though, that the Texans drank something a little stronger than the "purest waters."
Conductor grins.

The Student's Journal for January is on our table. Notwithstanding the predictions of its enemies the Journal seems to be a success financially and every other way. While it is run by one fraternity, we see none of that narrowness so common among college papers. We do not like the plan of giving the paper free to all students, and should imagine that it would be injurious rather than beneficial in more ways than the financial.
The Lariat again occupies a place on our table. It was "not dead, but sleeping," and by the tone of the paper we should judge that it chopped its kindling before it went to sleep, and that it now had a good fire going and was making it rather warm for its enemies. If it will lay aside a little of the malice that has heretofore been characteristic of the paper we predict a prosperous career for it.
Forty bills affecting the public school system have been introduced in the Kansas legislature.
One of our exchanges bewails the fact that the college boys are no longer "leaders in society." This it seems to us is as it should be. The college is a world by itself, as it were, and it is hardly to be expected that it will mix readily with another world whose actions and mode of life are entirely different. The college student comes to college not to be a "leader in society;" he can be that at home if he has the ability. He comes to college to gain an education, and if he directs his energies toward that object he will not have the time requisite to be a "leader in society." We think it highly proper that the student should hold himself aloof from the society of the town, and direct his attention to college work and college society.
In the January issue the Atlantic says: "The Courier is to be resurrected as a local journal." Resurrected? When? Have we been buried all this time? Perhaps we are entering a new field in college journalism by furnishing "news" that will be read by the students. The students who appreciate literary matter now read Harper's Monthly and other periodicals to the exclusion of the "literary efforts" so conspicuous in the average college journal. We only hope that other worthy journals may be "resurrected."
Osculation.
Into the glowing grate he gazed
In silent meditation.
Until her eyes the midden raiser
And said, "What's esculation?"
The lover slowly beats his head,
And with some trepidation
He kissed her on the lips and said,
'Sweet love, that 'socculation.'
Then while her heart went ptl a-pat,
Till she could almost hear it.
She said, "I thought it must be that,
Or something pretty near it.
Patronize those who patronize you.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 20, 1885.
Some of the Phi Psis are getting their hair cut.
The Kansas zephyrs still continue to fan.
The attendance at chapel this week has been fair.
We wonder if Mays will attend the State contest this year.
To Harry Valentine, greeting:
"Get on the good side of mama."
From present indications the University ball will be a grand success.
We wonder if the Lawrence editor has found Alvin Joslin's diamonds yet.
Powell says that he is convinced that Beaconsfield wrote his name with a pen.
It is rumored that Beta Kappa Chi will soon have a new worshipper at her shine.
Several students from Baker visited the educational center Saturday and took in the University.
Students should buy their fine toothed combs at the places advertised in the COURIER.
Prof. Snow has just received by exchange 120 rare specimens of fossil shells from Ohio. They are new to our cabinets.
To W. E. Higgins: No, if you have only got left several times, try again, and may success attend your efforts.
Judge West is busy at our cabinets. In fine weather he makes collecting tours to all parts of the State. He is rapidly filling the basement rooms.
Prof. Sterling marks an unexcused absence the same as a failure; thereby rendering the practice of promenading the halls during recitation hours less attractive.
We understand that Graham has appointed himself a committee of one to look after the affairs of the University in the absence of Dr. Lippincott. If "Henry Ward Beecher" was alive to assist him, they would make a big pair.
Prof. Canfield has secured a large number of new and valuable maps for his room. Among others is one of the Indian Territory, which will enable the student to pick out his claim in Oklahoma without wasting time in going there.
The first lecture of the course was given last Tuesday evening, by Rev. McChesney of Topeka, on the subject of Schuyler Colfax. The speaker handled the subject in a very able manner from his point of view, and drew several moral lessons which were to be learned from the life of Colfax. A poor audience listened to his effort.
Lives of seniors all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime!

Minnie Wakefield is thinking of returning to her home in Fort Scott tomorrow, to return next year. We hope she will change her mind and return soon.
A Louisville man has turned out some sort of an electrical invention by which a man can be in bed and fish. There is no need for such a contrivance for everybody knows that a man who can fish can lie anywhere.
The Seniors of Wabash College will make a trip to New Orleans about the first of March. The De Pauw Seniors will also attend the exposition in a body. We think the plan a good one, and wonder that it is not followed by more classes.
“Are you lost, my little fellow?” asked a gentleman of a little boy. “No,” he sobbed out, “b-but m-my mother is.”
Long legged Junior to barber in town: "You ought to shave me for half price because my beard is so light." "Oh," replied the barber, "we always charge extra when we have to look for the hairs."
One of Baldwin's best students, the son of a minister, too, was convicted and fined here last week for stealing an overcoat. The students of the "infidel school" don't pretend to make any great fuss about religion, but they have always been taught to steal nothing—except coal and kindling.
Chapel rhetoricals for week ending Feb. 27th: Monday, G. W. Harlington, Claude Highbargin; Tuesday, Clara Hunsicker, Lida Jack; Wednesday, W. T. Lutz, Edith Manley; Thursday, A. C. Markley; Friday. R. W. Chestnut, J. W. Curry.
Normal program for to-day: Essay, Ida Wade; declamations, M. T. Cummings, Sadie Hunt; elective exercises, L. H. Rose, Flora Eddy. Debate: Resolved, That the plow is more useful than the spelling book. Affirmative, Mary Sabin, Jennie Divelbess; negative, Fred Liddeke, Ida Wade.
Orophilian promises the following excellent program for to-day: Roll call, response by quotations and proverbs; declamation, J. O. Ward; essays, Miss Anderson, Miss Kirby and Miss Jennie Hulick; elective exercises, C. L. Roe, Harry Radcliff, Julia Powell; orations, Wm. Lane, E. L. Ackley; 'Contest Congressional Debate,' W. H. Johnson, J. A. Hutcheson, S. M. Cook, Webster Davis.
Oread had a very fine meeting last week. Besides the regular program being carried out, most of the members joined in voluntary exercises, making the meeting quite interesting to those who dance. The incorporation committee reported no progress.
The Oread bulletin board presents the following program: Declamations, Geo. Lewis, Agnes Wright; readings, E. M. Cox, Hallie Smith; essays, Edith Manley, Fred Bowersock; orations, Denton Dunn, W. S. Franklin. Debate, question: Resolved, That there are occasions when lynch law becomes justifiable. Affirmative, Cyrus Crane, F. C. Keys; negative, Victor Linley, W. H. Park.
Prof. McDonald gave the second of his course of lectures on music Wednesday at the third hour. The subject treated of rondos and dance music. Prof. McDonald is an interesting speaker, and all students who have the third hour vacant would find it entertaining as well as profitable to attend as many of these lectures as possible.
Wednesday evening a number of friends of Miss Alice Ropes assembled at her home to do honor to her passing another milestone in life. The evening was very pleasantly spent in the mirth and fun of "Progressive Euchre." After a sharp contest the souvenirs of skill were awarded to Miss May Webster and Victor Linley, they having held the royal table for six games. The evening will be long remembered by those present as one of the happy memories of college life. Those present were: Misses Griswold, Webster, Howe and Stimpson, and Messrs. Crane, Schall, Stimpson, Linley and Morgan.
The great ball of time rolls on; great men come, and great men go. Scarcely has one been laid in his grave another rises to take his place. And in looking over the history of these great men, we find that many of them in their school boy days had one and the same characteristic—playing tricks on their fellow students. The chain even extends to the halls of K. S. U. And if we should take a stroll through the corridors during the fourth hour we would find a little crowd here and a little crowd there, thinking up some scheme by which they may fool their class mates; or perhaps we would see a little band hard at work piling up rubbbers in the middle of the floor, and should we ask them what they are doing, they would answer: "Why we will be great men some day." The rubber trick is all right, boys, but is getting rather stale. Please give us something new.
The First Step.
Wednesday the Ways and Means committee at Topeka recommended the appropriation of current expenses and $50,000 for the natural history building, as asked. The general feeling seems to be very favorable toward the University. The bill will not probably be reached before the middle of next week.

H. A. CUTLER, Publisher.
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.
Salary of the Greek Professor.
The attention of the regents should be vigorously called to an inconsistency, in fact a wrong, in the salary of the Greek professor. The salaries of the other professors are sixteen hundred per year, but that of Prof. Stephens is twelve hundred, the smallest received by any of our professors. Why this discrimination should be made is to us a mystery. We know of but one reason that could be urged—and that, too, most unplausible—that of sex. As the chair of Greek ranks on par with the other chairs of the University, and the work required in that department is no less than that required in all the others, this difference in salary is certainly a great injustice.
Normal Department.
From the action of our legislature in respect to the Normal department, it seems as if it must go.
That this department is and has been a credit to the K. S. U. since Dr. P. J. Williams has had control of it, is a well established fact in the minds of those who have a knowledge of its management and results. There have gone out of this branch of the University graduates—and in fact many who are not graduates—who today hold higher and more responsible positions as teachers than those from any school or college in the State.
If there is any truth in the aforesaid action, and there seems to be, it cannot arise from want of the proper facilities to prepare teachers; for 1st, all students in any of the Normal courses are obliged to recite in the same classes and to the same instructors as those in the collegiate departments. 2d, in addition to the above, they have the practical benefit of the instruction of the dean
The fact is that we were just getting ready to ask our legislature why with the facilities at our command in this department and a higher Normal course than any other institution in Kansas, our Normal graduates should not have the benefit of a life certificate, when such privileges are given those less qualified.
Again, let us ask, does Kansas need fewer Normal training schools? And the man who answers this in the negative will receive the ridicule of his more educated neighbor.
German and French.
The present indications point to a "nigger in the wood pile," and it would not from past events be very hard to locate said wood pile.
As far as numbers go the following figures will convey an idea of the work being done in the department of modern languages this year:
Total number of classes ... 10
Beginning German, two divisions,
average attendance 100 ... 120
Freshman, German, 2 divisions ... 37
Sophomore, German ... 17

Total, first session ... 2

Third year Normal, German ... 10

Enrolled German . . . . . . . . . . . 265
" French . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 110
Average number in class . . . . . . . 284
In addition, Prof. Arthur Canfield has given his attention to a small class of irregulars during a considerable part of the year. Many of the lower classes have grown to such size that mere numbers have become a drawback rather than otherwise, and the reduction of the S.P.German class of 120 to 54 in the second session, is largely due to a necessary and wholesome process of "weeding out,"which leaves none but rigorous, earnest scholars to pursue the work.
From an editorial in an exchange we cull the following:
The University in this country is the poor boy's nourishing mother. The boy does not live in Kansas today so poor that he may not have the highest education the State can afford. The standard must not be lowered. The rich can send their sons to Yale and Harvard. The poor boys of Kansas must be educated at the University of Kansas or not have the advantages of higher education.
Here Gauner, one of the poorest farmer boys in the State, was educated, and now has achieved distinction in the natural sciences. From the same institution went John Long, a poor boy, now a professor in one of the leading colleges of the country. The Gleed brothers worked their way through the University, the one
achieving marked success as a college professor of Greek in the institution subsequently, and the other as a journalist, and now they are practicing law in Topeka with excellent prospects for fame and wealth in the future. Every graduate of the University is to-day a success in life. We believe there is not a single failure.
From the classic halls of the young University of Kansas have gone already young men who have acquired distinction in civil engineering. The boys of the University have been especially successful, almost phenomenally so, in this department. The University is the poor boy's high school. Let it be supported liberally as one of the strongest forces in building up the highest civilization the State is capable of attaining.
Department of Natural History.
Under the above caption we clip the following from the pen of the Hon. Milton W. Reynolds, in the Herald-Tribune of this city of the 17th inst. :
However much the legislature may cut down in other directions it can hardly afford to refuse the appropriation of $50,000 asked for the department of natural history of the University. It is required in the construction of a building that shall afford room for the storage and proper display of the collections in natural history made by the man who brought $30,000 to the institution, $200,000 in the Spooner bequest, from his father-in-law, and a collection in natural history worth to-day $100,000.
The department has been compelled to entrench upon the grounds of other departments for necessary room, and the splendid collection it already has is every hour jeopardized from liability of fire, and is being wasted by decay. This department is largely in the interest of the farmers, fruit growers and producers of the State. They should see that it does not suffer for lack of means, especially when it is in the hands of a man so competent, so industrious, so faithful to their interests as is Prof. Snow.
For twenty years he has labored for the producers of Kansas and the west. He has given fame to the institution. He has been loyal to Kansas and her noble institution of learning. He has resisted tempting offers. He has worked by daylight and by lamplight for the University. Eastern colleges have wanted him at higher salaries than Kansas has thought she could pay. But he has remained true to his first love. And he has given to the University of this State the finest collection in entomology, save that at Harvard, possessed by any college in the land.
Latin and Greek.
The new building is imperatively needed. A possible calamity hangs over the State should the appropriation be refused two years longer. If the new building were not absolutely needed Prof. Ssw would not ask for it. The regents and the faculty ask for it.
The classical department of our University ranks with those of the foremost colleges of the country. In fact, it may be said without gainsay-
There is not a farmer in the State who, if he really understood the situation and the wants of the department of natural history, would refuse a vote for the needed appropriation.
ing it, in this branch of our University is the most perfected. It is possible for a student to take a classical course either in Latin or Greek as full and comprehensive as the courses at Harvard, Yale, Williams and the eastern institutions. The classies are not so much required here as in those institutions, but if so desired as complete a course can be had here as elsewhere in America.
The Latin and Greek chairs, once embraced in the one chair of languages, have so far developed as to be over crowded. The addition of an instructor employed for both departments has not supplied the demand for greater instruction, and more instructors are needed to carry out the work of these branches of our University.
Prof. Robinson has now four classes under his charge, which requires of him work double that of professors in other colleges of the country.
Colloquial exercises, one of the methods adopted by Prof. Robinson in imparting instruction, have proven most successful, and have been found by Prof. Robinson most efficient in bringing his pupils to a thorough understanding of the Latin tongue. The capacity for increased work in the upper classes is also noticeable as the department increases in efficiency.
The Greek department, under charge of Prof. Stephens, has also developed in importance and usefulness of late years. The department has well kept pace with the growth of the University in general, and is today a model in its efficiency and usefulness.
The aim of Prof. Stephens has been not so much to confine her pupils to the study of the Greek language alone, as to have them understand the history, customs and peculiarities of the Greek people. In this she has been exceedingly successful, and all the students of her department are thoroughly versed both in the language and in all relations of Greek life and history.
Prof. Sterling, the instructor in Latin and Greek, is also well supplied with work. The large class of the preparatory department is placed in his care. Thoroughness rather than the amount of work has been the desire of Prof. Sterling in instructing the primary classes. All classes have left him with thorough preparation.
Optional studies in both Latin and Greek are open to all zealous classical students who desire a more thorough understanding of those languages than the regular courses permit. It is the wish of Professors Robinson and Stephens that a student take the interest in Latin and Greek to pursue those studies beyond the requirements of the regular courses, and both are ready at all times to assist such interested students.
The success of the classical department of this University can well be measured by the positions its graduates have taken in after college life. Several have held positions in our University, while the classical alumn elsewhere rank perhaps as a whole above the alumni of the other departments of the University.
The Science club bulletin board now presents an artistic program border, an original design by R. L. McAlpine. The work reflects much credit on our engineering department.
Kansas University Science Club.
The Science club met at 3 p.m. last Friday in chemistry hall. J. T. West, M. J. Parish, W. H. Brown, E. T. Walters, E. B. Stimpson and W. C. Stevens, were elected members. Prof. E. H. S. Bailey read a paper on the "Kansas Sugar Industry," in which he made a report of his original experiments. Glucose was found one-half as sweet as cane sugar. "Extra C" was found sweeter than "granulated white." The sorghum sugar works do not pay. E.D. Eames read a paper on "Dry Pressed Fire Brick." E.D. Cruise described "Washington's Monument." R. Short explained "Dry Plate Photography." A. L. Adams gave a review of the Scientific News. A vote of thanks was tendered to R. L. McAlpine for his beautiful original design on the bulletin board. Each of the papers was followed by an interesting, jolly talk by everyone. The club spirit prevails. The next meeting is Feb. 27. All students and their friends are cordially invited.

1STS,

With this issue I retire. I have sold my interest in the Sabethea Herald to Mr. Bryant C. Preston, who will hereafter be editor and proprietor. Mr. Preston is a young man who has had experience in newspaper work, is straight forward, energetic, ambitions, and will give the reader a better paper than I have given them. I have done the best I could. Mr. Preston can do better. ' So with this change the Herald will be improved and be a more potent factor in advancing the interests of this city and county. The policy of the paper will remain unchanged, and will continue to advocate temperance, sobriety and law, in opposition to the opponents of the same, so in the hands of Mr. Preston the public can rest assured that the Herald will go on and up rather than backward and down. He is deserving of every encouragement, and I hope and believe will receive it.
T. L. BRUNDAGE.
There are two classes of college journals—those whose pages are given to light matter and newsy items, and those burdened with heavy articles and uninteresting scientific dissertations. To our mind the former is the ideal college paper. The student gets quite enough of the sober side of school life in the dull regime of studies, and needs something to refresh his mind when he turns to the college periodicals. This respite he will not get if the paper is laden with tiresome essays and lengthy discussions. As a rule our best exchanges are those from leading colleges, whose pages teem with interesting matter, while from the more obscure institutions come those whose space is chiefly given to the dull composition of youthful novices.—Swarthmore Phanix.
It is not the school room alone that educates, but it is the halls for conversation, the campus for play, the eating and sleeping room, the society room, the street; and the last is as great, if not the greatest, instructor of all. —Ex.

MY DEAR Sir: I—I hear through Mr. James McDonald that you are very successful in all "obstinate chronic diseases." Please look into my case, and don't fail to answer at once. E. D. W.
Mrs. J. C. Kelly, of Harper, Kansas, wife of Engineer Kelly, on the Southern Kansas railroad, who had been afflicted with disease of the eye which resulted in blindness, was led by her husband to the Eye and Ear Infirmary of Kansas City, corner 8th and Grand Avenue, where she was confined for several weeks in a dark room, unable to admit any light without causing very acute pain. Now she rejoices in restored sight, for the blessing of which all praise is rendered to Dr. W. H. Kimberlin, whose skill and rich store of practical knowledge seldom falls to bring about the desired and happy result. Mrs. Kelly is now able to see without glasses to shade or protect the eyes, and enjoys the freedom that none can appreciate only those who have been deprived of sight.
F. Klock opens a new restaurant at 181 Mass St., March 1. His reputation in this line will insure his new venture a success.

Plan of Natural History Building as Proposed.
The following is the plan as proposed for the natural history building, for which $50,000 is asked in appropriation. The estimate as made, it will be observed, is well calculated:
Two story brick or stone building one hundred feet long and eighty feet wide, with basement and attic, containing a lecture room with seats for two hundred persons, two exhibition rooms eighty by forty feet, one for the geological, mineralogical and fossil collections, and one for the zoological and botanical collections. Adjoining each exhibition room are the laboratory and storage room belonging to the same departments, and in the basement and attic are additional rooms for work and storage. The building can be enlarged on either side without interfering with its arrangement.
FIRST FLOOR—LECTURE ROOM
On this floor at the left of the main door is a lecture room, the floor of which slopes down to the basement level. It is entered by three doors from the passage F. The light comes from three large windows on the front, leaving the wall behind the speaker for blackboards, pictures and diagrams. A platform eight feet wide extends the whole length of the room, and has in front of it a counter or row of tables for apparatus and specimens. Apjoining this room, and opening at the end of the platform, is the basement room G, where materials used in teaching may be stored and prepared for each lesson. The tables on the stage may be on wheels so that they may be loaded in the ante room and brought into the lecture room as required. This room is intended for all departments, but a smaller class room or student's laboratory is provided on the second floor for smaller classes.
EXHIBITION.
On the first floor is an exhibition room eighty by forty feet and sixteen feet high, with windows twelve feet high and four feet wide on three sides of the room; one window to every ten feet of wall. The cases proposed are all upright, no table cases being intended, on account of waste room and no drawers or cupboards for storage being provided, as storage can be in separate rooms, only those objects being placed in glass cases which can be shown to advantage, and which will be useful to persons accustomed to use the museum. Between each two windows is a case four feet wide and twelve feet long, and seven feet high, which for small objects, may be divided into two by a screen of wood, ground glass or canvas painted gray or some color suitable for a background for the specimens. For this room ten double cases are proposed between windows, four shallow cases of the same length against the walls in the corners, and a big case against the back wall. A large space is left in the middle of the floor for large specimens in special cases or uncovered. The walls between the windows furnish good places for maps, diagrams, and explanations of the contents of cases. The windows should be as high as possible, and the walls light, but need not be white and barren as in many large museums, or disfigured by ugly lettering.
GEOLOGICAL LABORATORIES.
GEOLOGICAL LABORATORIES. Adjoin this exhibition room is room B, intended for an office for the curator and for the use of geologists or special students who may be at work on the collections. Here may be stored type specimens or specimens too small to be exhibited in glass cases, but which must be within easy reach; microscopic preparations and specimens which must often be taken out for teaching purposes. Opening into this room and also into the passage C is a larger room D, for general laboratory uses of students and teachers.
SECOND FLOOR.
The second floor is reached by stairs at the back of the entry F, lighted in part from the front door, and partly by a skylight.
On this floor is an exhibition room similar to that on the first floor, and directly over it and furnished with similar cases. The rooms on this floor are sixteen feet high with twelve foot windows, as on the floor below.
Connected with the exhibition room on the front is a room for the herbarium and for the use of the botanist, and beyond it a laboratory for students. The first room has a storage gallery eight feet wide at the back.
On the opposite side is a similar pair of rooms for the zoological department, for the insect collections, microscopic and small specimens generally, and those used by students, and for general laboratory purposes.
Between these two sets of rooms is a large one connected with both departments, which may be used as a student's laboratory or lecture or recitation room for either department.
BASEMENT.
Beside the lecture room, the basement contains a large room L for packing and unpacking and cleaning specimens, under the exhibition rooms, and back of this large store rooms. There is also a large storage place under the lecture room floor, lighted by a window in the front wall.
ATTIC.
The attic furnishes large space for the storage of all kinds of light and dry specimens, and should have some vermin proof cases for skins, insects, and such objects particularly liable to injury.
The attic is also a good place for a workshop for such carpenter work as is often needed for taxidermy and the preparing and mounting of specimens and all dirty work connected with the museum.
University Lecture Course.
After long delay and many tribulations, we are to have a lecture course. When the students had failed through lack of energy and push, the faculty took the matter in hand, and now offer to the students the following course:
Feb. 17...Rev. S. McChesney

Valuable Additions.
By correspondence with the war department and the department of the interior, Prof. Canfield has secured a large addition to the apparatus of instruction in both his own department and that of civil engineering. The latter has some fifty specimens of the best possible topographical drawings, largely view and harbor wook, and surveys of the more recently opened mining reigons. Prof. C. retains for his lecture room the following:
Yukon river, Alaska, Egypt and the Sudan (2 maps), Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Alabama, Florida, Dakota territory, Idaho territory, Washington territory, New Mexico territory, Arizona territory, Utah territory, Indian territory, Oregon, United States west of the Mississippi, and of remarkably fine detail plans of struggles connected with the Civil War, thus: Movements of Gen. Sherman's forces from Louisville, Ky., to Washington, the Atlanta campaign (5 charts), movements in front of Atlanta, Shiloh, Chattanooga, Vicksburg, Knoxville, Nashville, Franklin, South Mountain, Fort Fisher (2 charts), Williamsburg to White House, Bermuda Hundred, White House to Harrison Landing; Gettysburg to Appomattox, Gettysburg (3 charts), Antietam, Harpers Ferry, Wilderness, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania C.

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS:—In the last issue of the Courier I noticed an article on "Analytical Geometry," from the pen of J. E. C. The writer of the same seems to be laboring under the delusion that the courses of study should be made for his especial benefit. If he did not think thus, his words, at least, convey this idea, for he wishes to set aside this study on the ground that he is a candidate for ministerial duties, and that it will be of no future use to him. Our University aims to give a liberal education to all who will avail themselves of her advantages, but in so doing, she retains the right of deciding the retention or rejection of any particular study, since she is the best judge of such matters. If J. E. C. thinks she exercises this power too much in any one direction, let him examine the courses and see whether they, on the whole, have not been made with the greatest impartiality. Many come to the University to obtain an education—a liberal education—and unless the courses of study were arranged to meet their wants they also might make just cause of complaint. It is the desire of those who have power in these matters to make such courses as would be most likely to suit the majority of the student's intellectual wants. As the affairs of the University now stand, it is deemed best by them not to make analytical geometry optional. If this is the sentiment of those who surely know the wants of the University better than we, we ought to be willing to give up some of our desires for the common good. When the University is able to carry on a larger number of optional studies, so that all can be satisfied, then our friend may be able to obtain his wish. But if he cannot be satisfied with this, and has not stamina enough to restrain himself from losing his morals while mastering this required study, he is indeed sadly in need of some theological training.
DKE.
EDITOR VIEWS:—A writer in your issue asks the question: "Is it better to acquire a slight smattering of every study known to the civilized world, or to master those studies which are of practical benefit and at the same time suited to mental training?" A thoughtful person will say; Master the foundation studies. Make yourself a broad man by getting abreast of the world's progress in all the great branches of knowledge. Master the principles; you can never know all the details. Then, when you can think, talk and act as an educated man, learn to be a lawyer in a law school; a farmer on the farm.
The aforesaid writer is made rabid by zoology, and pites the intended preacher who must toil among old fossils, bugs and cat intestines. A preacher like Joseph Cook or Talmage must know much of these same old fossils, bugs and cat intestines, and they are often mentioned in sermons. No man can write a sermon for or against evolution until he has studied zoology. A special student must study whatever comes in his line, but the required studies of our many optional courses do come in his line if he is to be a broad minded man, and not a bigoted specialist crank who digs his own narrow hole deeper and deeper, and becomes so sharp at las'
that he runs himself into the ground by his own projection, and stands as an everlasting monument to his own stupidity.
In the present condition of general knowledge, botany, chemistry and zoology are not special studies. The lawyer must know them to obtain and explain testimony. Every man should know something of the world in which he lives. We students cannot so well judge what studies we need, as the wise business heads of our regents who have mapped out several paths for us. We should follow one of these and do its work well. There is time in each.
We are required to study 70 weeks in the natural sciences; we can spend 275 weeks on Latin, 200 weeks on Greek, 110 weeks on German, 90 weeks on French, 105 weeks in English, 145 weeks in history and political economy, 130 weeks in chemistry or physics, 135 weeks in biology, 300 weeks on pure and applied mathematics, 180 weeks on drawing. What specialist can complain? R.'s peroration should read: "When our students can slough off and rise above some crazy and fanatical thoughts; when they shall widen out to the breadth of the University purpose, then, and not till then, can it accomplish its aim as an institution of learning." SPECIALIST.
EDITOR VIEWS:—To a visitor at the literary societies, one of the most noticeable things is the lack of original work. Almost all the members posted for essays or orations substitute readings or declamations.
The greatest benefit to be derived from the society is the original work; to be able to write a good essay or oration.
Now as the younger members rarely debate, but leave that important part of the programme to a few old members, we may ask what do these members do? Answer is, read or declaim. If a student joins a society, it is to be supposed that he means to work and profit by his work.
I do not believe that those members of the society who are always delinquent, get the benefit which they would if they would always take part. Hereafter let us have more good essays and orations and fewer selections from Petroleum V. Nasby and Josiah Allen's wife. OREAD.

'86.
A meeting of the class of '86 was held at the end of the fourth hour Tuesday, President Clara Pochler presiding. It was decided to give an entertainment some time next May, and Bennett, Harry Smith and Gilmore were appointed a committee to decide upon what the programme should consist of. It was moved and carried that each male member of the class be assessed $1.00 to liquidate the debts of the class. It was furthermore moved and carried that any member who should refuse to pay his dollar should be debarred from all the rights and privileges of member ship.
Oread society was called to order by President Riggs, with a fair attendance. The program was a good one, as follows: Declamations, G. W. Harrington, Minnie Raught; reading, Morris Cox; essay, Edith Manley; orations, W. S. Franklin, Denton Dunn. A debate was held upon the question: Resolved, That there are occasions when lynch law is justifiable. The affirmative was supported by D. J. Dunn and F. C. Keys; the negative by W. H. Park and W. Y. Morgan. The judges decided in favor of the negative. The committee appointed to see about chartering the society asked another week, which was granted. The election of the June program was made a special order for March 6th, the performers to be elected in the following order: 1st, orator; 2d, debater; 3d, president of the Bayard evening; 4th, declaimer; 5th, essayist.
The Orophilian society will give the following excellent musical programme to-day:

Normal program for to-day: Essay, Clara Reasoner; declamations, Anna Beardsley; Hattie Black; elective exercises, Laura H. Rose, Cathie Ward; oration, M. E. Pierson; class exercise, M. L. Field. Debate, question: Resolved, That Canada should be annexed to the United States. Affirmative, Louis H. Rose, Flora B. Eddy; negative, M. T. Cummings, Laura Rose, Geographical spelling match.
It will be remembered that last year Oread society distinguished itself in the political line. This year came the reaction, and an Oread election has been as quiet as the boom for the Athletic Association. The lion and the lamb lay down peacefully, and all was quiet and serene. But things are not always what they seem, and once more there is music in the air and blood on the moon in the third story of the south wing. So far the fight has been free from the personal bitterness of last year. Let us hope it will continue so.
The Orophilian literary society was called to order at the usual hour, the speaker, Miss Greenamyer, presiding.
The regular election of officers took place, which resulted in S. M. Cool being elected speaker, and Miss Kirby, secretary. The program was unusually well rendered, proving that the members are beginning to realize that they should be on hand to perform their duty if they would preserve the prestige of Orophilian. The program was as follows: Declaration J. O. Ward; essays, Miss Kirby and Jennie Hulick. The essay of Miss Kirby, in which she compared the obstacles and hindrances to our success in life, but as the friction which polishes and refines our natures, was one of the best which we have had the pleasure of listening to in Orophilian in many a day. Miss Julia Powel read a choice selection, which was well rendered. Orations by Messrs. Ackley and Lane were both good, showing careful preparation, and were well delivered. After recess the question: Resolved. That all of the lands in the Indian territory not held by organized tribes of Indians should be opened up for settlement; discussed on the affirmative by Messrs. Cook and Olney; on the negative by Blair and Harris. The judges decided two in favor of the affirmative, one in favor of the negative. The program for this evening promises to be a good one. Come out everybody, and while they are having a boom in the territory, let's have one in Orophilian.

University Ball.
This long talked of and much expected event came off last Friday evening, and was an honor to the special young people of the University, and especially to the enterprisers members of '86. The grand ball began promptly at 9 o'clock, about thirty couple of K. S. U.'s sons and daughters were soon in the intricacies of the quarrel the mazy whirl of waltz and Everyone was bent on good time, and seemed to the endeavor. When it reached its length an O Pershall's was made, her man and woman were then dancing was resumed, her grew larger and larger, couples hardly noticing its It was full 4 o'clock when "extra" and "home sweet concluded the great success of university ball. '86 deserves for introducing the custom of singing the ball in the hands of a de-d management, and we hope '87 follow in the footsteps of her mistious predecessor.

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.
The University of Kansas.
There is not within the borders of our State a citizen imbued with the true Kansas spirit, who is not proud of our University. The cause of a University needs no pleading with Kansas. They are well aware that if there is such a thing as a higher civilization, it is to be attained only by deep intellectual culture, such as is gained by thorough literary training; and for which training a University is best adapted.
When the University was established, it was intended to be a real University, not a mere college. Our people expected to see, year by year, other branches of a University, such as good law and medical schools, added to the academic department. At the same time the other wants of the University were to be promptly and bountifully supplied.
Kansas also desire to be in the very front of any praiseworthy undertaking; hence they have put forth their best efforts to build up in their mist the University of Kansas, an institution of such prominence that it attracts to itself annually over five hundred students. These come mostly from our own prairie homes; yet quite a number come from abroad to avail themselves of the advantages offered by our State. Our people are indeed to be congratulated on having already erected a University of such dignity, but now that the good work has been begun, they must not let it go from their hands unfinished. Proud as we are of our University at present, we can not conceal from ourselves the fact that it is yet far from what we wish it to be.
As it is, a few years ago a law department was instituted with, however, but indifferent provisions made for its growth. Liberal appropria-
fions for a library and other imperative necessities were denied, and so far it has been compelled to eke out an existence, useful in some extent, it is true, but by no means useful to the extent that the friends of the University had a right to expect. Those in charge of the law department or of the University are in no way to blame; they have done all that lay in their power.
The increased appropriation which we understand is in a fair way to be made by the present legislature for this department, gives reason to hope that at last the law school of the University of Kansas is to be established on a sound basis. The University and the State are to be congratulated. As for a medical department, no attempt has been made beyond the establishment of a preparatory medical course. This includes work in chemistry, human physiology, comparative anatomy, botany, physiological chemistry, toxicology and materia medica, and fits students for the second year of eastern medical schools.
The University is now completing its nineteenth year, and the questions arise: "Does it fully meet the requirements of the State?" "If not, is not Kansas old enough and rich enough as a State to afford its youth the educational advantages they require?" Surely Kansas stands second to no State as to its natural advantages, immense harvests and unprecedented growth and prosperity. Yet the fact remains that with its public schools and State University, its young men and women are compelled to seek abroad the advantages offered by other States while they prepare themselves for professional life.
The problem, however, yet remains to be solved: "Is it economy to send the young men and women abroad?" Kansas is irretrievably committed to the principle of protection, the building up and maintenance of home industries, and wisely so, too. But does she in practice follow out her favorite theory? The University of Michigan has an annual attendance of nearly fifteen hundred students, yet out of this number only about five hundred are in the literary department—no more than our own University has in its literary department. What then attracts such an attendance to the University of Michigan? Nothing but her professional schools. In her law department alone, are twenty students from Kansas, besides many from Colorado, Nebraska and Missouri, who would gladly come to the University of Kansas did it afford sufficient advantages.
Since Kansas has twenty students in the law department of the University of Michigan, it is but fair to assume that she has at least one hundred students—law, medical and scientific—at the various professional schools of other States, beside those from outside who would avail themselves of our University were it equipped for special work. The average expenses of students at eastern colleges vary from five hundred to eight hundred dollars per capita. The expenses, then, of the one hundred Kansas students at eastern schools amount, at the least calculation, to the neat sum of $50,000 a year or $100,000 for two years. Suppose that our present legislature would appropriate one hundred thousand dollars to be judiciously applied toward establishing law and medical departments, and for furthering advanced work in civil engineering, the State would be reimbursed for the appropriation before the terms of the members of the legislature making it expire. In other words, as a business transaction, the law and medical departments would pay a profit of just fifty per cent. on the investment, for one hundred thousand dollars would go a great way indeed toward establishing in a creditable manner these branches of our University; two hundred thousand would wholly accomplish t. Why then, do the regents not ask the legislature for such an appropriation? Or why does not the legislature grant it unasked? We should think their corporate conscience would torment them for hesitating to do so when they know that at least once in every five years the cost of establishing law and medical schools go into the coffers of other Universities. Surely there could be no better investment, leaving altogether out of consideration the great advantage which citizens, well educated honest lawyers and physicians, would be to the State.
Let, then, the people of Kansas be unwilling to practice so-called economy in respect to their University. Such an institution can not subsist upon good will alone, and it is the poorest economy to starve a University or any branch of it. Let them bestow upon it a magnificent library; the farmer or mechanic might as well try to get along without tools, as a University without a library. Let them not ask men who ought to be the first educators of the State to spend the best portion of their lives in its service, for such recompense as either a business or professional man would sneer at. Our State can afford to do better than that. The cast is looking to Kansas, the pioneer in freedom's cause, to build up a great University in her midst. She has made a good beginning, she dare not stop. Let her then in the future pursue such a policy as will so build up the University of Kansas that the youths of to-day may live to see it what it ought to be—the Harvard of the west.
Last week the members of the Senior class woke up suddenly to the frozen fact that the faculty rule as regards regularity was more than a nominal one. The result was startling. Out of a class of eighteen, but five were entirely regular. The rigid enforcement of the rule ought to have its effect on lower class men. There is always a tendency to pass over some study which the student does not like, to take up with a favorite or easy branch. The consequence is that when the wise (?) student wishes to graduate he finds himself confronted with back work which makes him dig and cram and neglect his regular studies, in order to make up that which if he had taken up at the proper time, would have been a great deal easier and of much more advantage. Any lower class man who is thinking of skipping some study, or leaving it till the Senior year, should ask an irregular member of '85 if it pays.
The Oreads have their regualr election of officers this afternoon. Candidates are still sub rosa.
Valuable Statistics.
In view of many erroneous impressions concerning our State University, its work, nature of students, etc., which have been called to our attention, we below present statistics which will be beneficial for every Kansan to read.
From the first table it will be seen that thirty-five of the one hundred and twenty graduates of the University are children of farmers; also, one-eighth of the graduates hitherto were entirely self supporting while in the University. The same table shows that about one-third of the
graduates of the University are teaching. Of these the larger number are in graded and high schools, and others in colleges and Universities. Ten are engaged in editorial and publishing work. The table is worthy of careful study. The second table indicates very clearly the widening influence of the University throughout the State. Within the first six years the collegiate students were drawn from a section within seventy miles of the city of Lawrence; to-day nearly every county of the State is represented.

To Emporia.
The State Oratorical Contest comes off at Emporia, March 13th. We should be well represented, and encourage our orator with the presence of as many friends as possible. The oratorical association appointed a committee to procure a special rate, and the best that can be had is the offer of a special car for $164 the round trip. If fifty will go, the entire cost will not exceed $3.50 each. All those who will promise to be of such a party of fifty, will please give their names at once to the committee, so arrangements can be made. If this is not done at once such arrangements cannot be made.
The Wisconsin State legislature Monday voted $238,000 to her State University for building purposes in the coming two years.

Dr. Keems says: "Kissing is purely an American habit." Remember this, and patronize home industry. -Ex.
The college which has the most graduates in congress is the University of Virginia; Harvard stands second, and Yale third.
The Student's Journal, from Bloomington, Illinois, starts back in holy horror because the Courier contains advertisements for billiard balls and "glowingly chronicles the University dance." Now, the reverend gentle man whose moral sensibility is shocked by the advertisements in the great religious weekly, should know that we are publishing a paying paper, and do not intend to be forced to get out a "give away" sheet like the Journal. If our dyspeptic critic would circulate around and get a few advertisements for his attempted college paper, so as to be able to bring forth something that would be creditable to the college, he would be at much better business than lecturing legitimate enterprise and howling at his rivals because they refused to be sold out in the struggle for fraternity power. Take that beam out of your own eye Mr. Journal, before getting out your microscope for the benefit of your neighbor's mote. SELAH.
The post office department at Washington has ruled that no two students, unless brothers, are to be allowed the same post office box, on ground that they are not a "family firm or corporation." This ruling was made in reference to students at Amherst.
The highest matriculation fee of any of the great German Universities is less than $6, and the extrication fee, $2.50.
At Harvard work on the college papers is accepted as a substitute for the regular literary work of the University.
There is always a certain amount of pleasure connected with a chapel speech, and it especially delights the soul of the average student to have our revered professors take up a part of the first bell telling the students of the unspeakable beauties of the library.—Owl.
Among great Americans who have expended their youthful talents in editing college papers, are the poets, Holmes and Willis; the statesmen, Everett and Evarts; the eloquent divine, Phillip Brooks; and the pleasing author, Donald G. Mitchell.—Ex
"Darling," he said, as he tried to tickle his wife under the chin, "why am I like the moon?"
"You are not like the moon, John Henry, in any particular."
"Why, how do you make that out,
my dear?"
"Because the moon has been full but twice this month."
He says that isn't the right answer.

J. B. Shane, photographer, is receiving a great deal of students' trade now. His rates are so low all are going to him. Those expecting to have lots of work done in the Spring had better begin now, for when the rush begins he will be unable to give the attention to work he otherwise would and now can.
A. C. Hand, recently of Chicago, professional tuner and repairer of pianos and organs, will attend promptly to orders through the post office or that may be left at J. S. Hand & Co.'s bookstore, opposite Pierson's mill. All work warranted. Charges low.

Bargains.
Students in need of new boots, shoes, rubbers, etc., could not do better to-morrow than go to 70 Mass. St., where for 20 days an assigned stock of goods from Rochester N. Y., is being sold at phenomenally low prices. Go there for bargains.
Messrs. Rushner & Son have also received quite an assortment of new designs in bamboo walking sticks with handsome solid silver heads, which are being sold at very low prices. The same firm are also about to put in a full line of elegant silk umbrellas with silver heads, which will certainly be a great attraction.
The unique clock, with peculiar pendulum (chain swinging from a revolving arm on top of the clock), now on exhibition in one of their windows, has attracted a great deal of attention.
Oxydized Silver Jewelry.
Our enterprising jewelers, H. J. Rushmer & Son, are always on the quil violet for novelties in their line of goods. In addition to their large and excellent assortment of goods, they have recently received a large and well selected line of oxydized silver jewelry—the most novel of the latest novelies in the east, where it is welcomed by the most fashionable as the acme of personal adornments. These goods are gotten up in a great variety of designs, to suit various tastes, and notwithstanding their high order of excellence in make, are very cheap.

Mascotte Glee Club, the Topeka Mandolin Club and Bell's Band, will entertain the skaters to night at the Cosley rink. This entertainment will be a novelty in Lawrence musical circles, and will well repay attendance. The Mascotte Glee Club is the finest in Topeka. The Mandolin Club is something new here, and their music is said to be the sweetest and best. These clubs have been secured by Messrs. Mendenhall & Co. at great expense, and they are sparing no pains to make this the great event of the season. Admittance has been placed at the low price of twenty-five cents, and those who wish receive seats may obtain them at the rink now at thirty-five.
A young lady of '87 went coasting one night this week and lost an overhoe on the street car track. Mr.tFricker with his usual energy had he obstruction removed in a few hours.

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS:—The apparent effort in your report of the oratorical contest to compliment every speaker, however justifiable it may have been, suggests to me a view which I would like to express. It is that a too universal habit of complimenting is a weakness of the University. The University papers, with scarcely an exception, mention the public performance of a student, a particular professor and his work only in terms of unqualified praise. The society critics are seldom heard from, and when they do speak their deliverances are usually complimentary. Even the professors, so far as my experience goes, are rather mild and not very searching in their criticisms.
Now criticism is essential to our improvement, else the University needs only a library and an aparatus. It is the weakness of our natures not to see ourselves as others see us. Criticism, intelligent and severe, is indispensable. And it is a part of our education to learn to receive in the proper spirit, and to apply, personal criticism.
Of course, I do not advocate fault finding. Anybody can find fault, and a very little of it is monotonous. But a criticism which displays a just view of short comings, points out their philosophy and suggests a remedy, is an unmitigated good; while much flattery makes sensible persons feel flattered, and excessive complimenting produces undue self-appreciation in the inexperienced. L.
EDITOR VIEWS: —Will you allow me to voice the sentiment of a great many students who were stockholders in the old Courier company. At the last meeting of that unfortunate organization the business managers made the following proposition: That they would redeem stock at two dollars per share, if the company would give them whatever above that sum they might realize from the assets. As there was no help for it, this offer was accepted. The managers soon after began to pay the first dollar, assuring us that the other would be forthcoming in the Fall. That time has come and gone. The old bills which were worth anything have been collected, and all the property has been sold. But the old business managers still fail to come to time with that other dollar, and make no sign of redeeming their promise. Is it not about time they should come to the front with a settlement?
EDITOR VIEWS:—The University ball, like all its predecessors, has been a financial failure. Lack of class spirit caused the matter to be left with a few members, and now, when they have failed, the class of '86 stands calmly by and says: "Told you so."
STOCKHOLDER
I think that we should have an annual ball, and I am inclined to believe that the plan adopted for the present one is the most feasible one proposed. Certainly a large class could make such an affair a success if every member took a personal interest in it. Last Friday night only nine Juniors were present. This shows lack of interest on the part of the members of the class. The class at their meeting decided to have a hop, and appointed the committees. It seems to me that
all who voted that way pledged themselves to work for the success of the undertaking. Now these same members say it was not a class affair; that they got no benefit from it; that they were not obliged to attend or work, and (strange!) they don't want to help pay the bills. There is a lesson in this affair for future classes. If the class of '87 concludes to get up a ball, every man should understand that he is responsible for the success or failure of the same. Every member, gentleman or lady, should be in attendance, and what amounts to a good deal more, should work to secure the attendance of others. When a class goes into anything with such a spirit success will be sure to follow, but when petty jealousies are allowed to come between classmates and destroy the harmony which should exist, their efforts are certain to be attended by failure.
R. E. HENRY.
EDITOR VIEWS:-To one who is to be a teacher, all helps in education. affairs are of great value. Acting under this sentiment the students of the Normal department sometime ago incorporated themselves into what is now called the Normal society. The design of this body was to assist those who were in this department in attaining both educational and literary culture. If the former had been acquired, even at the expense of smoof the latter, this article would have never been written. The reverse seems to be the case, and there is now very little difference between this society and the two literaries. If the Normal society was founded for the purpose of giving literary culture, it may perhaps succeed. But, if on the other hand, it intends to give that culture which will be useful to the coming teacher, it is in a fair way of failing in its object. Now and then we see an educational subject upon its program, and such subjects are rather the exception than the rule. They should be the rule. What would we think if the engineering society should follow this example? What if the medical fraternity should do the same? If all the societies of the University should do this, and should have no distinct aim, why would not one society do for all? But as each professes to give to its members special advantages, the number of societies would be no bar, but rather a help in our advancement It is then to be hoped that the Normal society will consider this, and will follow out in the programs and exercises the design for which it was called into existence. I would like to hear from the Normals on this subject.
