There is blood all over the Oread moon.
What has become of the annual 87 class party?
This is a rich harvest time for the Oread treasury.
There was almost a war in the Senior class last Friday.
In Kansas we have a "cold snap," then we have a "soft snack."
Where is the previous man who wanted to bet against Lilyey?
Nobody knoweth what a day or an Oread election will bring forth.

Beware of the political fraud who has promised both sides for every office.
Why should so many people go to Niagara Falls in this age of skating rinks?
The Senior English Lit. class is now studying Sir Phillip Sidney's Defense of Poetry.
Nobody knows nothin about Oread politics, but there is a heap of silent working going on just the same.
Societies whose reports do not appear in the Courier should, if they desire such, stir up their lazy reporters.
They say that Ed Blair carries dynamite with him all the time, and that his chapel oration was just a blind.
The students who took their girls to Collier's lecture on "The Ideal Home" must have had an eye to business.
A large number of the students attended the reception of the Knights of Pythias last Thursday, and report a splendid time.
If you see a fellow going around with a black eye or a swollen lip,you may be pretty sure that that fellow has been up to Yohe's.

I will say to the thief who stole my overshoes, that if he does not want his name to appear on the police court record, he had better either return them or keep them well concealed. —W. L. K.
Four pious students of the religious convent at Baldwin recently fell from grace in the matter of strong drink and no longer enjoy the liberal society of that liberal institution. Moral: Beware of "infidel schools."
It is a lamentable fact that at present there go to the K. S. U. boys—little children, "kids," as it were—who take delight in mixing the overshoes left in the hall. The faculty would receive the thanks of almost all the students if they would make this baby play punishable by expulsion.
To the Senior class met Wednesday to fill the vacancies caused by resignations on the class day program. A. E. Curdy was chosen poet. F. W. Barnes was elected historian. It was resolved to add a "Mantle Speech" to the program, and Miss Nettie Hubbard was selected for the position. A committee was appointed on invitations and programs.
The following is vouchered for by a Junior editor: He was a Senior and was giving a young lady a sleigh ride in the vacation. He mentioned that he was connected with a paper at college. She thought that seemed absurd, and when he looked surprised, added that he "hadn't shown much familiarity with the press." He took the hint.
The June program of the Normal society was elected without the usual carnage, and is as follows: Chairman, M. L. Field; essayists, Hattie Black and C. H. Nowlin; debaters, Mary Sabin and L. H. Rose; declaimer, Flora Eddy; orator, M. E. Pierson. If the work done in the society by these members is an index to the success of the June entertainment, it will be well worth climbing Mt. Oread to hear.
Oread had a regular old fashioned meeting last week. The president was unable to keep order without resorting to fining. The program was very good, all the members being prepared. Miss Lillian Bell favored the society with a piano solo. The regular election of officers followed, amid a din and confusion that were so common last year, but which have not been heard in Oread hall for many months. The following officers were elected: President, Fred Bowersock; vice president, Frank Hutchings; secretary, Gertrude Hunnicut; critic, F. W. Barnes.
Arrangements should be made for a grand jollification to-night. The appropriation for Prof. Snow's building marks the beginning of a new era in the history of our University. A meeting will be held in Prof. Miller's room at end of fourth hour to complete arrangements for a grand "blow out" to night. Everybody attend. Let every boy be down town by 8 o'clock to participate. Bonfires, etc., the order.

This is to certify that I have for the past three months been printing from 800 to 1,000 copies of THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER per issue for the Courier company, with steady increase.
H. A. CUTLER, Publisher.
What has become of the Kansas State University Athletic Association, and who is going to pay its debts? Several of our merchants are making this inquiry.
There is a faculty rule that a tardiness shall be marked the same as an absence or failure. The absurdity of the rule has led to an almost entire disregard of it. No matter how well a man recites, he is to be marked zero. The rule was a mistake, and should be repealed.
The Courier, though not in any sense a political organ, takes the opportunity of paying its respects to the incoming administration. Vive le President! should be the shout of every student of K. S. U., regardless of party distinction, but at the same time he should not let his enthusiasm reach that pitch which would make him forget to pay his subscription for the Weekly University Courier.
The COURIER comes to the Athletic Association once more and asks why its debts are not paid.
There are officers of that organization attending the K. S. U. who should look after this matter.
These debts were contracted in good faith, and should be paid.
This matter is a disgrace to the University, and the Courier, as the students' paper, can not defend such dilatory actions. Gentlemen! provide a means for these obligations.
--become professional teachers; in fact, more than in any other profession. Is it not true then, that they should be provided with this higher Normal training which they will be deprived of with the removal of the Normal department. Many of our best colleges have long felt the need, and where there has been no Normal school or department attached to the college, there has been established in quite a number a chair of pedagogy. The Courier would gladly see the Normal department remain, but if this cannot be, then give us a means of getting that higher Normal training which is so essential to the teacher's profession.
Our present legislature has left the Normal department without its usual appropriation. The board of regents have the money and power of course, to come to its relief. A few facts respecting the results of higher Normal training in the K. S. U., might not, perhaps, be out of place at present, under the existing circumstances. It is true that a large per cent. of the collegiate graduates from K. S. U.
At a discussion before the Nineteenth Century Club of New York, there arose a debate between President Elliot, of Harvard, and President McCosh, of Princeton. The following extracts from President Elliot's remarks show clearly his ideas as to the advisability of recognizing the manhood and honor of the student, instead of binding him down with iron rules:
"I hope to convince you that a University of liberal arts and sciences must give its students three things: Freedom in choice of studies, opportunity to win academic distinction in single subjects or special lines of study, and a discipline which distinctly imposes on each individual the responsibility of forming his own habits and guiding his own conduct.
The pretended paternal or sham monastic regime of the common American college seems to me to bring out the childishness rather than the manhood of the average student. The progressive argument is: Adapt college policy to the best students, and not to the worst."
The reason generally given for this departure from the old rule is that there are certain men who must be bound by iron rules and compelled to study, if any work is to be done by them, and to reach these, rules must be made to apply to all the students of the University. In reply to these arguments President Elliot says:
"It is often asked what becomes of the elective system on careless or lazy boys? I answer what became of such boys under the old system? Within my own observation they got no profit to speak of. It really does not make much difference what their unawakened minds dwaddle with anhow."
"A University must permit its students, in the main, to govern themselves. It should be placed in or near a city of considerable population so that its officers and students can always enjoy the refined pleasures and restraints of a highly cultivated society. It must have a body of students, and these two conditions make it practically impossible to deal with them on any bases of village school discipline. A student's protection must be within him. It is a distinct advantage of the genuine University method that it does not pretend to maintain any parental or monastic government. Its moral purpose should be to train young men to self-control and self-reliance through liberty. Such a University is the safest place in the world for young men who have anything in them. They live in a bracing atmosphere; good companionships invite them; books engage them; helpful friends surround them; pure ideals are held up before them; ambitions spur them, and honors await them."
In conclusion he said·
Wanted, a Settlement.
Last Spring a few ambitious young men who saw that they could not be supreme dictators to the policy of the University Courier, formed the brilliant scheme of a "consolidation" with the Kansas Review. After trying all legal means to carry out this desired project, but still failing to convince the Courier company that its interests lay in the advancement of these brilliant schemes, they sought by arbitrary, unfair action to force their design upon that organization. By a vote of less than a majority of the stock, all property and effects of the Courier company were turned over to the new company, and rights of the stockholders who refused to sell principle or be bulldozed into acquiescence, were violated in a shameless manner, with the insolent answer to all protests: "Well, what are you going to do about it?"
But this time the actors in that roaring farce of alleged consolidation probably see what was done about it. The Courier survived the assaults of enemies and the stabs of traitors, and to-day is acknowledged as the students' paper and as the representative of the University.
And now we are obliged to call attention to a subject which we have before avoided because we have thought that possibly it might be settled without any open discussion. After waiting some nine months for the business managers of last year's Courier to come forward with their often promised settlement, we feel called upon to demand in the name of those to whom they owe such, and for the honor and good reputation of the Courier, a full, fair and open settlement.
At the beginning of this school year every effort, honorable and dishonorable, was made to cripple and weaken the Courier. A notice was published over the signature of last year's business managers asserting that the Courier was no more; that they would meet all obligations, collect all debts due the company and settle up the affairs at an early date. The glaring falsity of the first part of this declaration was only equalled by that contained in the last. We have waited nearly a year for the fulfillment of this promise, and still seen to be no nearer to it.
The business managers said they would redeem all shares at two dollars each. Presumably they have collected all the money owing to the company which can be. By the statement of one of them they have had money enough to redeem the stock for some time, and yet they do not do so. They promised to settle all debts, yet scarcely a week passes but our present managers are confronted by bills contracted last year. Most of these have been paid by the present company because of the moral effect which such long standing indebtedness would have upon our credit. But in the name of justice we ask if this is right.
We have waited long before making this public demand in the hope that all was right. It would not be just to the old company or to the new to wait longer. We call upon the business managers of the University Courier company for last year to explain themselves, and clear away the suspicion that something is rotten in this State of Denmark.

Michigan University is in luck. C, H. Buhl, of Detroit, has added 5,000 volumes to its law library, and the legislature is about to vote an appropriation for a new gymnasium.

Sixty Harvard Freshmen have abandoned their Latin, eighty their Greek, and one hundred their mathematics. None of them, however, have dropped their base ball or boating, and college culture is therefore safe. — *Ex.*
The regents of the University of Wisconsin have decided to replace the Science Hall, which was lately almost entirely destroyed by fire, by a new building worth $150,000, and to build several other new buildings, at a total expense of about $295,000.
The Cornell Era complains because Cornell is taking a backward step toward the parental system of college government. Harvard college is rapidly adopting the elective system of choosing studies, and abandoning the old cast iron rules.

The choir will sing the sevety-ninth him, omitting the first, three and fourth verses, in order to save unnecessary wear on the organ.
—New York Sun,
A number of exchanges criticize the Illini for its expression of political views. We beg to differ with those wise men. A college paper should be a student's paper. What the students think, believe and say should appear in its columns. The effective editorials of the Illini are a relief, after turning over pages of alleged editorial wash, which make many college journals tedious.
The Delaware Transcript is again taken up with the discussion of the fraternity question,—this time in an able article headed "One Phase of College life." For a year or two this college has been in a bitter state of feudalism from a malignant animosity between competing fraternities, and frats and anti-frats. Many hard blows were exchanged on both sides, and doubtless many life long enmies made. The writer alluded to handles his subject with a clear mind and brings forward argument against fraternity dominance which is very forcible. The burden of his argument is the great estrangement of good men, and the injustice done by wirepulling in elections by competing fraternities, giving offices to those incapacitated to fill them, and who are but the tools in the hands of their respective organizations, in their objective ends, and suppressing the prominence of, in many instances, more worthy talent, but which is not identified with them. From this, and other writers on this side of the question, we are led to suspect that, from some cause or other, be it frat or anti-frat, the brotherly love which might be expected to prevail in the Ohio Wesleyan is below par. This is not so everywhere, and hence all fraternities could scarcely be condemned on account of Delaware's grievances. But it is manifest that in this case the fraternity is the agitating evil, and there is little hope of ever a reconciliation of feeling until such unwarranted partisanship is supplanted by justice and charity. Worth and merrit always have and always will carry the palm, let associations be what they may.—Bethany College.

Delights of Coasting with the Girls.
When called upon to describe a young lady coasting the reporter's pencil falters, conscious of the immensity of the task. Owing to the size and shape of the sled, and the objections that the young men who manage the affair have to her dragging her feet upon the ground, the young lady has to seat herself in the manner which might vulgarly be called straddling. But she does this with such grace, and catches up her dress with such pretty art, as to make it appear one of the most natural and easy attitudes. Then when the sled is shoved off and begins to gather momentum in its descent, she clings trustingly to the coat of the young gentleman in front of her. When it begins to dash along and strike fire out of the ground, she utters a little scream and throws her arm about his neck. Then when the sled in its flight reaches its wildest speed, she screams louder and frantically embraces the young man, tightening the pressure into a regular hug, while he gallantly resolves to be squeezed to death sooner than permit a hair of her fair young head to be injured. Then the speed begins to slacken, and the hug slacken also a little bit. Then, gradually, the sled comes to a stand-still, and the young woman, as she takes her arm away from the young man, gives a sigh and exclaims: "Oh, ain't it jolly?" Then they trudge up the hill again to repeat the same performance. It is noticeable that though the young lady's fright is not diminished at all by familiarity with the terrors of the "slide," the young gentleman continues to submit to the treatment to which he is subjected without a murmur.—Washington Star

Oxydized Silver Jewelry.
Our entrancing jewelers, H. J. Rushmer & Son, are always on the qui vive for novelties in their line of goods. In addition to their large and excellent assortment of goods, they have recently received a large and selected line of oxydized silver jewelry—the most novel of the latest novelties 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.
Messrs. Rushmer & 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.

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS:—In the last issue of the Courier I see an article criticising in a friendly way the general conduct of the Normal society. While the statements are in a general way true, I must say a word in defense of the society, as the writer requests. He argues that the plan of the society is much like that of the other two societies in the University. If this is a fault I fail to see it in that light, for it is evident that the teacher must have much in common with those engaged with other professions since his mission in its broadest sense is to prepare others for their professions, and in its narrowest sense to give them the groundwork on which each may build as his talents and preferences dictate. Is it not necessary, then, that the teachers, above all, should be broad-minded men and women? But breadth is not to be acquired merely by dissertations upon ventilation, exercise, recitation, programs and school house equipage however important these subjects may be. Such topics do very well for mental boarding house hash if no rehashed too often.
Mr. (or Miss) Dike, in saying that educational topics seldom appear upon the Normal programs, probably has in mind such questions as that of the plow and spelling book, which was debated in the society recently. I admit that the simplicity of the language is enough to provoke a smile, but the discussion was not confined to the pitted merits of a John Deere plow and a Webster's spelling book. The debaters, taking into consideration all that these two objects symbolize, made a discussion which was considered good by others than Normals. Such discussions are certainly educational.
If our critic will examine the programs carefully, he will find the topic, "Class Exercise," and following it the name of some teacher who has had experience in the school room. If he will then, at the appointed time, step in at the first door to the left, he will, as a rule, hear the member appointed to this duty discourse upon plans and expedients, ends to be reached by instruction and the best mode and means of reaching the same, taking the society as a class when he wishes, and conducting model recitations by way of example. The other societies impose no such duty for obvious reasons. Since this exercise can be made as exhaustive as we choose, does it not constitute sufficient difference in program? But this is not all. Debates are alternated by lectures and recitation contests while in the other societies by moo courts, mock legislatures, pariamen tary drills, etc., to better represent the several hours of training followed by the members. Here is also a good and proper distinction. Don't judge us by our bulletin alone, but step in, and if it happens to be rainy day don't go away saying "told you so," but come again. You will not always find the exercise just as posted, for we sometimes lay the program in the drawer, as a goo teacher often does his book, and take a new tack. See, and then say.
NORMAL.
EDITOR VIEWS:—We notice by the last issue of the Courier that the present method of conducting the
Normal society is not quite up to Dike's ideal, who seems to think that the requisite attainments of a successful teacher are educational, even to the detriment of literary; and that the Normal society has lost sight of the real object for which it was established.
In the first place, we cannot agree with Dike in his idea of a successful teacher, but feel safe in saying that if a teacher's training is mostly educational, he will make a decided failure, or at least will never attain any eminence in the profession. We further believe that to be a successful teacher one's culture must be both educational and literary, and that the literary should not be subordinate to the educational, but if anything, the reverse. For when a teacher enters a school, either in the country or in town, he is expected to take the lead in all literary circles, and if he is not conversant with belles lettres it is soon detected and he is classed as inferior; and to that extent he loses his influence in the community, the result being detrimental to his school. A teacher, to be successful, must not only be able to instruct, but also be able to take the lead in all literary circles.
And as to the society having lost sight of the design of its founders, we must deny the charge, for it was their aim that the Normal society should embrace educational, literary, and also special work for teachers; nor that the latter should be included especially in the debate, as Dike seems to think, but there was a place established in the class drill, where papers were to be given and discussions had upon the special work of teachers. Nor has the society done away with this, but even now has taken measures for a systematic arrangement and thorough discussion of the teacher's work, which is to continue through the remainder of the term.
We feel grateful to Dike for his good intentions, but greatly fear he is neither posted as to what the Normals are doing, nor the requisite qualities of a successful teacher.
NORMAL.
EDITOR VIEWS: -The recent dedication in the Junior class for the April exhibition shows fully and clearly the evil effects of leaving the choice of representatives to the class. Notwithstanding the supposition that the members of this class were particularly free from deceptive schenung and innocent of political wire-pulling, for at least a week before the election studies were neglected and strong and binding combinations were made and broken with charming gusto.
Imagine, if you can, some unsuspecting and guiltless Junior, who has entered the meeting thinking that there will be a friendly discussion, and then an agreement as to who shall fill the honors. He rises to make a suggestion; no attention is given him. He objects to something; he is quietly sat down upon. In good faith he makes a nomination, when lo! after the ballot has been taken, his candidate has but two votes the nominator's and the nominee's. This is not an exact illustration of what really happened, but it simply shows the method of conferring the honors. A slate ticket made by secret combinations carried the day. Several members of the class who really deserved honors were passed by. Especially I would condemn the class for refusing to elect one member, who no doubt would have been happy to receive a place on the program—certainly not on his own account, but for the reputation of the class. An unjust faculty having for many weeks denied him the privilege of attending classes, plenty of time has been given him to attend to outside work.
Surely representatives might be chosen by a fairer method. Will some one suggest it? P. R. B.
'86.
The Juniors met Friday to elect performers for their exhibition in May. The following were chosen: Orators, R. S. Horton, H. F. Graham, A. L. Adams; essayists, T. H. Rockwell, Mamie Stimpson; declaimers, Clara Poehler, Olive Thompson. The program is an excellent one.
Normal.
The house was called to order by Chairman Eddy at the usual hour. The following program was creditably rendered: Essay, Hattie Black; solo, M. L. Field; declamation, Louise Rose; "colloquial duet," Messrs. Nowlin and Pearson. The class exercise, conducted by Mr. Field, was animated and instructive, and betrayed a skill in the art of "teaching the young ideas how to shoot," which comes only by experience and good judgement. The Normals can't do too much in this line of work. After intermission the society listened to a solo by M. T. Cummings. All then joined in the geographical spelling match, the honors of which were carried off by Mr. Liddeke, after a hot contest. The debate was spirited, and despite eloquence and logic, we must lift the latch for Canada when she sees fit to knock.
I. C.—Phi Gamma Delta.
---
Last Saturday evening the I. C.s indulged in one of their famous "cookey shines," and in order to add still more to this one, invited their friends in Phi Gamma Delta to assist in the festivities. The home of Miss Emma White was the place selected for the ceremony, and it can well testify to the pleasure of the evening, A combination of I. C.s and Phi Gamms makes a hard one to beat, especially in the line of solid fun. The evening passed all too quickly with dancing, singing, progressive euchre and social chat. Then came the "cookey" part of the "shine," and the way the Phi Gamms did justice to the good things placed before them by their hospitable hosts, showed that they not only shone in that line, but took the "cookey." After other social amusements, the I. C.s entertained their friends with selections from I. C. songs, in the chorus of which all present joined with true I. C. vigor. At last, after a most delightful evening, the merry couples wended their homeward way, the boys still keeping up the strain:
O dear I, C.
You're all the world to me;
Where I be I can, land or sea,
My heart e'er turns to thee.

A big crowd to go to Emporia next week to see Gilmore take the prize.
A Practical Joker Left.
There are two boys in town who are naturally very cowardly. Their mother keeps boarders. Among these boarders was a certain young man who conceived the idea that it would be a capital joke to give the "boys" a scare. Accordingly, he took his room-mate into his confidence, and they together proceeded to lay plans. It was agreed that upon the next night the room-mate should enter the boys' room after they had retired, and station himself under the bed, and the fellow was to be at the front door of the room to make a noise when he should hear his room-mate rattling the slats of the bed. Thus, by making two noises at the same time and at different places, the boys would not know the exact location of the "burglar," but would beat a hasty retreat through a back door to their mother's room below.
Now, this room-mate was a sort of religious boy, and did not like to see innocent boys frightened, and thought it would be only just to turn the joke, so he "put the boys on to it."
The next night, according to arrangement, the room-mate took his place, as did the fellow also. The ratling was begun. One of the boys as if in a doze demanded what was wanted. The disturbance continued. The fellow now thought his joke complete, and enjoyed himself for about two seconds, as the boys in their apparent confusion broke through the back door into the adjacent rooms, upturned chairs, buckets, etc., and rushed down the dark hall, until within about ten feet of the top of the stairs, where the fellow was standing, when holy Moses! one of the boys began to shoot! As would be expected, the fellow went down stairs; and the sound he made on the stair case greatly resembled that made by a rapidly revolving wheel of fortune.
When told of the joke, he of course set 'em up.
If the item 'discount' appears in the expense account which the boys send home, the parents may understand that the boy has begun to play billiards.

Sigma Nu.
Last Monday seven of our students appeared with Sigma Nu badges, thus announcing a fact which had been long known, that there was a chapter of that fraternity in the University. This is Nu chapter, and was established on the second of last June. The charter members were: J. T. Howard, H. B. Martin, P. R. Bennett, G. W. Harrington, F. A. Marshall and A. C. Markley. This year the following names have been added to the roll: Charles Miller, W. S. Bales, J. B. Harris, W. J. Marshall and F. C. Keys. Sigma Nu is a southern fraternity, but has seen fit to extend to the K. S. U. There are seven chapters, all in the south. The pin is a star with a black centerpiece, bearing five bars with a coiled serpent. The nickname of the Sigma Nus is "Snakes."

'82, Dr. L. W. Lusher, was in Lawrence Friday. He leaves this week for China, where he will take a position in the Chinese army at the snug salary of $7,000 per annum.
Messrs. Ross and Guard, two very gentlemanly young men of Topeka, have leased the Cosley skating rink, and are filling it with an unusually attractive line of amusements. Mr. Ross is an ex-student of Washburn.

A free expression of thought does not seem to be tolerated at Dartmouth. Two editors of the college paper were expelled for being a little premature in the expression of their thoughts.

This is to certify that I have for the past three months been printing from 800 to 1,000 copies of THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER per issue for the Courier company, with steady increase.
H. A. CUTLER, Publisher.
Especially to ex-Governor George T. Anthony does the K. S. U. owe thanks for her welfare in the legislature this winter.
President Cleveland's first official act was to affix his signature to the bill placing Gen. U, S. Grant on the retired list of the army.
The Courier attached its tow-line to the natural history building and has pulled it onto firm ground. Oread caught hold of its firm strands last Friday and was saved. Let everybody take hold and join the crowd.
Unless something is done toward settling up the affairs of the Athletic Association we will be compelled in behalf of the business men of this city, to publish the names of the officers responsible for debts. Let action be taken at once. These bills must be settled.
The Courier suggests that the officers of the Athletic Association constitute accommitee to solicit subscriptions for the defraying of said A. A. debts. The Courier will head the list with the amount of the first five subscriptions for THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER paid this week.
We understand the old business managers of the Courier company who so "covered themselves over with glory" last Spring now say they will redeem upon presentation all bills against them. We are glad to see this. We are over the period of entertaining malice against them. All having money due them on stock, etc., present at once.
The fact that at quite a number of the more eastern colleges there has been adopted and successfully maintained what is known as the cooperative plan, leads up to the belief that such a plan could be adopted here with the same result. These results are of a nature which will interest a majority of our students, i.e., the reduction of the price of board to a
considerable extent. If an interest is manifested, the View columns are open; the Courier will publish "plans" in full.
The Courier was sent to the members of the legislature for thirteen issues. We labored our utmost for the promotion of the interests of the University, to render our lawmakers better informed as to our work, and to secure the necessary appropriations to advance K. S. U. on the road of higher education. Success has crowned the efforts of the friends of the University. A new era is inaugurated, which will see the University of Kansas taking its place in the very front ranks of institutions of learning.
To Foreign Subscribers:
We would request you to see that your subscription is paid, as we do not like to "dun" for fifty cents. Mail us twenty-five two cent stamps at once. We will give a "personal" to everyone who responds in the next two weeks.
To Hon. Geo. Leis the K. S. U. is indebted for the establishment of a chair of pharmacy. He not only secured its establishment, but provided the means for its maintenance; this by the State Druggists Association. It is understood they will pay $1,500 to $1,800 per year.
Our Appropriations.
It is with pardonable pride the Courier exults over the welfare of the K. S. U. in the recent legislature in line of its appropriations. The board of regents asked $50,000 above that asked for current expenses, which were also raised above those ever before asked. Two years ago it was by the utmost effort $4,000 was raised for building purposes. The asking of $50,000 this year, with the feeling that prevailed as shown by the above, really seemed a "joke." The regents as they freely expressed themselves, never entertained a hope of receiving one half that amount when they asked it. They lacked the necessary funds for advertising purposes by which they could get the necessary information before the members of the legislature, which with the erroneous feeling existing against our school over the State, would make such appropriations even entertainable. They felt and knew that dissemination of information was their great want, but in this they were beyond a nominal measure entirely helpless. Their funds for such purposes was very limited.
In this the Courier came to the rescue, and how well we did our work our readers have seen. Thirteen issues of our paper devoting from five to eight columns to this purpose we sent out five hundred copies (per issue) to members of both houses of the legislature and the press of the State.
The appropriations received but a nominal opposition. Our institution stood on its merits before them. They were well informed. The friends of the institution had good ground upon which to work. The object was accomplished. WE ARE THANKFUL AND HAPPY.
Communism in the University
Thus above 6,000 copies of the paper was used in this direction. This was of course done at a very heavy expense.
The amount of positive misinformation relative to the University and its work is astounding, and would be discouraging but for the fact that it all comes in a way that shows the growing power and influence of the institution. Men never counterfeit that which is worthless, nor do they refer for endorsement to that which is weak and inefficient. So when men quote "the University" as their authority, or assert that "the University" sympathizes with their movement, it is proof positive that the "Lawrence High School" has disappeared.
We are led to make this remark because of the sensational character of one or two somewhat recent newspaper receipts. A rattle-brained fellow, purporting to be the agent, or "commander," or something of the "Anarchists Circle" or the "Nation Dynamyters" or some similar philanthropic (?) scheme or "union," rushes through Lawrence, finds no support (of course), tries Topeka, gets eight or ten young men together—fully half simply to "see what's going on"—and at once writes to the "home organ" that he has met with marvelous success and finds "a large following among the students of the State University." And immediately two or three rural papers published in towns which have "Universities" of their own "endowed by the munificence of our generous and highly esteemed fellow-citizen, Hon. Blowhard Gasbag," edited by men who have never seen a University student, and who do not know the front door of the University from their own back gate, exclaim that "the University is honey combed with "Nihilism" and more and worse. And then the paragraph begins its weary round again.
Students of the University, all who know anything of the faculty and their work, are heartily sick of this sort of thing. It is even more silly and senseless, if such a thing can be, than the "Godless school business." There is not a student in these halls who is not constantly taught and trained that the world owes no man a living; that he must either work or go to the wall; that he must work hard and honestly and intelligently or go down; that the creative genius which brings such magnificent material results is a grand power and to be rightly used - that the accumulation of capital—in savings used productively—is desirable for all classes and for none more than the laborer; that competition—fair, full and free —is the best possible force in a community; that a man who whimpers and snarls because some one has more of this world's goods than he has, is a coward and a sluggard; and that the sovereignty of law, the preservation of order and the subordination by influence and reason whenever possible, but by force—swift, terrible and effective—whenever necessary, are cardinal conditions of all successful government, of all advancing civilization.
That's the kind of "communists" we are, gentlemen of the Kansas press; and that's the doctrine taught in our halls.
Our Welfare.
Will our "esteemed contemporaries" be as ready to copy this as they are to repeat the meddlesome tattle of peripatetic ignoramuses?
The friends of the University have every reason to congratulate themselves upon the generous treatment received at the hands of the legislature this winter. Though the amount asked for in the general appropriation bill was much larger than in former years, it was given—almost without an opposing vote. That there has been a change of feeling in the State in regard to the University there can be no doubt, and it is largely due to this increased feeling of confidence that it received such generous treatment. To the Douglas county delegates who worked so earnestly for us we record a full share of praise, and assure them of our hearty appreciation of their efforts; and in the same measure to the citizens of Lawrence who aided in bringing the matter fairly before the legislature.
Yet, above all is the fact that in the past few years the University has become more widely known; its influence has been extended, and its work become more familiar to the people of the State.
For the earnest and patient efforts of Chancellor Lippincott, who has devoted his time and energy towards bringing the University fairly before the people of the State, we owe more than we know, for the success finally attained. In the past few years the faculty have visited various parts of the State, and thus brought the University nearer to the people, while the students by their acts, their words, at home, abroad, have worked earnestly for their olma mater. All these forces together creating such a University sentiment in the State that the legislature freely acknowledged that what was asked was due to the institution, and should be given as a matter of duty, and not as a gratuity. It is unnecessary to say that the students as well as all others appreciate the work done, and will always remember those who have been instrumental in furthering the interests of our olma mater.
**
To name all of those to whom we are indebted, would require too much space and be beyond our purpose, but among those who gave our interests special attention, we are pleased to record in the House of Representatives outside of our own city representative, Capt. J. N. Roberts, to whose uniting efforts we owe a great deal, ex-Governor Geo. T. Anthony, Messrs. Finch, Faulkner, Burton, Overmeyer, Collins and Slavens. In the Senate, Hon. Geo. Barker, Wm. Buchan and R. W. Blue.
Among non-members too much cannot be said of the work and zeal of our chancellor and Prof. Snow; Hon. Samuel A. Riggs, Col. John K. Rankin, Chas. Gleed, Paul Brooks, Hon. John Speer and Sheriff S. H. Carmean.
As to the press of the State as a whole, we owe our our most sincere gratitude. Never was institution more generously dealt with. None but the most complimentary editorial matter thereon came before our notice. To the dailies at Topeka, the Capital, Commonwealth und Journal, who from their localities could be of most service to us, are we especially indebted. To Messrs. Hudson, Baker and Wood, we extend our thanks. Last, but by no means least, to the
members of our worthy board of regents do we owe everlasting remembrance and glory.
Oread Election
Last Friday Oread hall was packed with an excited crowd. For weeks the storm had been brewing, and all things pointed to a lively contest. The literary program was an excellent one, but in the intense political excitement it did not receive the attention it deserved. Recess was the season for wirepulling and manipulating, and by the time the president called the society to order the feeling was at fever heat. Both sides felt confident, or seemed to feel so. The debate was passed over, and the president announced that under a special order came the election of a June program, and called for nominations for orator. Victor Linley and W. T. Little were placed before the society, and roll call began, and progressed amidst the greatest excitement. Five names were challenged, and the disputes over them brought a great deal of bad feeling From the first name Linley took the lead and maintained it to the end, the result being Linley, fifty-five; Little, forty-one.
The rest of the program was then selected, as follows: President of the Bayard evening, Cyrus Crane; debater, A. C. Markley; declaimer, Agnes Wright; essayist, Sadie Emery. This election was one of the hottest in K. S. U. history. There were more votes polled than ever before in any election in any class or society.
State Contest.
The programme at Emporia this evening will be as follows:

The Grand Arch Council of the Phi Kappa Psi met in Columbus, February 18. After the election of officers and the appointment of the usual committees, the president of the Grand Chapter made his biennial report of the workings of the Grand Chapter. The establishment of a chapter at Syracuse, N. Y., and the revival of chapters at South Carolina College and Cornell University were then considered. On the 19th the Grand Chapter adjourned and visited Ohio State University in a body, and in the evening closed the convention with a banquet, at which over one hundred members were present.
The Wabash laments the fact that the college a authorities furnish a room for the "barb" organization, which is to all intents and purposes a local fraternity. This is only equaled by the Colorado University, which furnishes rooms for the fraternity of which the president is a member.
The Lafayette students are required to attend three services on Sunday, and prepare a biblical recitation for the next morning.
The German students do not succeed as oarsmen, owing to their inability to abstain from beer and tobacco.

The people of Lawrence had a big jubilee Friday evening over the final passage of the special appropriation of $50,000 for a natural history building in connection with the State University. Prof. Snow was serenaded and carried bodily to the scene of the jollification. Prof. Snow is one of the most valuable educators in his department in the United States. He is a mint of wealth to Kansas, and the new building will be a monument to his labors and industry for the State he loves. The building will prove a big investment for Kansas too, and will bring the State into great prominence in connection with the valuable science of natural history. Prof. Snow is not only one of the very best versed men upon the theory of the branches of education he represents but is thoroughly practical and business like. His researches and advise concerning destructive insects, and his reports upon certain ravages of disease upon grains and trees have been invaluable to farmers and others. The cabinets of the University and the rooms devoted to the natural history department were crowded and overflowing, and Prof. Snow was greatly hampered thereby. He will now work with renewed encouragement, but cannot labor with a more earnest desire, or stronger purpose to upbuild a great institution—the University of Kansas.—Emporia News

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS. Will you allow me to ask a question? There are now some nine fraternities in college, with a few back counties to hear from. Is it not an honor not to belong to a frat? BARB.
EDITOR VIEWS:—"We have met the enemy and they are ours." We have received a handsome appropriation of $50,000, and have added a chair of pharmacy to our institution, thanks to the legislature. But there is another question that has come to the mind of many of our students, and that is the establishment of a medical school. The old University will soon be vacant, as the asylum will be moved to Winfield before the next session commences, and without irreverence to the medics in wishing them to occupy an asylum for "weak minded children." it is the unanimous opinion that the old building should be used for a medical school. The building belongs to the State for educational purposes, and was taken from the University several years ago and a lot of idiots put in there who certainly had no right there. Now that they will soon be out the regents should see that it is not again usurped for any such purpose. The best way to hold it is to put some department into it, and it could not be used for any purpose as well as for a medical school. There it will be remote from the other buildings, as it properly should be, and so neither will in any way be disturbed by the other. With only a few partitions in some of the rooms it could be fitted up so that it would fill all the demands for such an institution for years to come. From among the physicians we have in Lawrence a very creditable faculty could be established, and they could be paid mainly from the matriculation fees of the students. All the medical schools around us are filled with Kansas students, who by necessity are driven away from home for such education, and Kansas owes it to her citizens that such a school should be established. We could pattern after Ann Arbor in regard to 'clinics;' for although that city has only about 6,000 inhabitants, they have enough clinical material to supply the necessary of the students, and every one knows the standing of their medical school. Their method could be used in Lawrence very successfully and without much expense. In fact, the expense of the entire department would be but trifling, and this would mostly be covered by the matriculation fees of the students.
Kansas is the only state of any importance that has not a medical college, and our regents should not let other states eclipse her in this respect.
"MEDIC."
EDITOR VIEWS: —From what I can gather, the members of the faculty generally desire the sustenance of at least a chair of pedagogy in our institution. They seem to be almost unanimous in this. Teaching is, and becoming the more so, one of the most respected and honorable callings in our present line of commercial relations. The desire and demand for a better class of school teachers is the strongest made to-day in any of the professions. The advantages here for the training of these is unexcelled. The moment a student enters here he
has the advantage of a view of the advantages of a higher education. He meets in the same classes the ablest students of the higher classes. He gains higher, broader views of what an education is. At present the sustenance of the Normal course in some form is from a financial point desirable, even on this point. Let the Normal be sustained. L.
Editor Views :—The writer recently heard the remark that elections, such as that held in Oread last Friday were injurious to the student and detrimental to the college. There can be no doubt that students neglect studies and classes to a considerable extent, but in my opinion the benefit derived from such elections greatly outweigh their evils.
For example, Oread was never in so flourishing a condition as it is today, with bright prospects financially and a list of ninety-seven active members. The excitement of an election in a society must necessarily excite more interest in literary work, since it brings vividly before the aspiring members the fact that in order to ever obtain honors themselves they must not shrink their part of the program, but must faithfully discharge their duties.
Then again, the very existence of a society depends upon its entertainments. It is perhaps safe to say that out of every ten who join a literary society nine do so with the hope of at some time representing it in a public exhibition. If there are entertainments there must be elections. Then let these elections occur. The more bitter the fight, the more glorious the victory, and the better the results to the society.
But the objection has been made that these elections develop schemers and politicians. If for no other reason than this they should be continued always. Our college in its prosperity should not take a backward step and refuse to thoroughly educate men for one of the grandest professions.
EDITOR VIEWS: We will please allow me to "remark a few remarks."
I suppose that in the course of a year or two the new natural history building about which we are congratulating ourselves, will be erected and occupied. In eastern colleges it is the custom to dedicate the various buildings to the endower or some friend of the institution. Can we, ought we not do as well? Of course the first is impossible; but if I am not mistaken, there is a name which we would all delight in honoring in some substantial manner—a name which was connected with the University for many years—and which is still in the hearts of the students. I presume it is hardly necessary for me to write the name of Dr. MARVIN. What would be more appropriate than to have our new building stand as a monument to the man whose labors, influence and example, we sincerely appreciate?
I move,Mr. Editor,that the students,by acclamation,request the proper authorities to let the natural history building be known as MARVIN HALL.
Who will second the motion?
JUSTICE.
Our Jollification.
Our Jonhication. The unbounded pleasure with which the students received the news that the legislature had granted the appropriations recommended by the Board of Regents was practically demonstrated on last Friday evening. About two hundred persons ranging from Junior Prep to ex-graduates, including some members of the faculty, assembled early in the evening at the corner of Lee and Tennessee streets.
At that place organization was completed, and the following persons were unanimously chosen to fill the places of honor: W. C. Spangler, Chief of Division and Master of Ceremonies; H. A. McLean and E. F. Caldwell, Orderlies; John Sullivan, Torch-bearer. Every thing being ready, orders were received to form in line, two and two, and march to the residence of Chancellor Lippincott, the Drum Corps of twelve pieces leading the way. Cheering was the order of the evening. All formed in a semi-circle around the front steps of the Chancellor's residence and gave three rousing cheers for the University, Chancellor and Prof. Spring; then the musical director stepped to the front and sang five verses of "Marching Through Georgia," the crowd joining in the chorus at the end of each verse. Appropriate speeches were then listened to from the Chancellor and Prof. Spring, who had made their appearance upon the porch during the serenade. Order again being restored, the whole column moved to the foot of the hill opposite Prof. Nichols, where three cheers were given for the Professor. It was here announced by the Chief that all should march immediately to the residence of Prof. Snow, and when the fife began to play and the drum began to beat, every noble youth fell in rank and marked the time with accurate step. The Professor was equal to the occasion in every respect. After the boys were through cheering, he stepped out and saying "Three cheers for the boys," waived his hat and cheered with all the vigor of early youth. Four persons selected for the purpose then seized the Professor and carried him to the corner of Massachusetts and Henry streets, where a platform had been erected; here S. A. Riggs. Mr. Rankin and Mr. Leis, together with a number of the Professors, were seated before a large audience of students and citizens. The meeting was opened by electing Hon. Milt Reynolds chairman of the evening. He made an eloquent and appropriate speech, giving a short history of the University and relating some of his own experiences while a member of the Board of Regents. He then announced the name of Prof. Snow, who, he said, "is a little man, but tonight he is the biggest man in all Lawrence." The Professor responded briefly, and in the course of his remarks said: "The first year I was connected with the University seventy per cent, of her students were residents of Lawrence. Since then the per cent, has decreased to sixty, fifty, thirty, and finally it stands now at about fourteen per cent. of resident students. This goes to show that we are fostering a state institution, and
has been blotted out of existence. It is now THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, and we are proud of it." He congratulated the state for the interest it takes in educational matters. He gratefully acknowledged the co-operation of the students, alumni, citizens and press in the work of obtaining appropriations. The chairman next introduced Hon. S. A. Riggs. Everybody knows that that gentleman is a faithful friend to the University, and has never refused assistance when called upon. He said it was a pleasure to him to do all in his power for her, and looked upon it as a duty as well to lend his efforts to maintain her welfare. Speeches were then made by Mr. Rankin, Professors Bailey, Robinson, Spring, Dyche and Mr. Leis. At the close of every speech loud cheers arose from the crowd. When voices became weak tin horns were substituted. At ten o'clock all formed a line and marched south to Berkley street, where ranks were broken and each marched to his home.
Chancellor Lippincott was then introduced. He spoke very earnestly, maintaining "that there is no such a thing as a Lawrence University. It
It is not often that the students make an expression of this kind, but everyone, without a single exception, was greatly rejoiced over the recent success in getting the appropriation for a Natural History building, and made their demonstrations as above. It shows that whatever goes to the building up of the University is highly appreciated by the students and by he large number of citizens in the state whom they represent.
Robert Burdette.
Hon. Robert Burdette, one of America's greatest humorists, will lecture at the Opera House next Wednesday night, March 18th.
The largest and best stock of clothing in the city is at Urbansky's.
Mr. Burdette for a number of years was connected with the Burlington (Iowa) Hawkeye, making that paper the most brilliant one in the west, but his success as a humorist and the demand of the public for him as a lecturer led him to give up newspaper work and enter the lecture field. He will deliver one of his most popular lectures on this occasion, and we hope that he will receive a cordial welcome at the hands of students and citizens.
Fifteen cabinet photos for three dollars at Hamilton's.
Right now is the time to have your photos taken, and avoid the rush of commencement work. Hamilton guarantees his pictures, and makes the low rate to students of fifteen cabinets for three dollars.
Hamilton has made the best rates to students ever offered—fifteen cabinets for three dollars.
Read! Photography!!
The first of the year it was given out by the "ring" photographers of the city that they would give no "cut" rates to students as has been the usual custom years heretofore. Capt' J. B. Shane, however, the students' friend, said he could afford, considering the great amount thereof, to give the inducement of a special rate thereon. He accordingly tendered a rate of three dollars per dozen for cabinet size photos. Some of the other galleries, however, never have cut down to this rate. He says he does not care, however, if they do get some of the work, it was he who was their friend and benefactor in the matter.
Caesar crossed the Rubicon, the die was cast, Rome fell; so do the rates on photos at Hamilton's; fifteen cabinets for three dollars.

Several students contemplate, this summer, attending the Spalding Business College, and Fulton and Trueblood school of oratory in Kansas City.
The constitution of the Oread society provides that the June program can be changed at any meeting in March. There will be two more meetings in this month, at one of which the program as it now stands is likely to undergo a change, as the "clique and faction" element will not allow themselves to be defeated after four weeks of scheming and wire-pulling.
State Oratorical Contest.
One of the mashing boys and his girl went into the museum the second hour one day last week, to indulge in a little private talk. Imagine their distress when they discovered that a practical joker had locked them in. The third hour passed, one o'clock sounded, and still no relief came. The afternoon passed slowly and tediously for the couple until nearly six o'clock, when a kind janitor relieved them. If we hadn't sworn not to give them away we would like to. But as it is, we can't
One of the most pleasant affairs in social circles last week was a tea party given by Mrs. P. R. Brooks last Saturday, in honor of Miss Helen Bay, of '82. Invitations were extended to about eighteen young ladies. The evening was spent in music and conversation, and after an excellent tea the young ladies took leave of their charming hostess, thanking her for such a happy deviation from the monotonous routine of college life. Those present were, Mamie Simpson, Edna Maxwell, Evelyn Smith, Jennie Walker, Jennie Sutliff, Bella Love, Jean Oliver, Clarri Wilson, Hattie Haskell, Josie Cooke Hattie Dunn, Maggie Eidemiller Cora Henshaw, Hattie Cooke, Agnes Wright, Helen and Ida Bay, of For Scott, and Messrs, Will Simpson and Will Gleed, of Topeka.
The greatest of one's gail,

Bring forth this daisy sheet.
Last Friday the representatives of the different colleges of the Oratorical Association met in friendly contest at Emporia to determine upon the champion who should represent Kansas in the inter-state contest at Columbus. During the day the delegations came in from Washburn, Ottawa and K. S. U., all enthusiastic and sanguine of success. But they were soon lost in the great crowds of Normals with their old gold and lavender badges, who were not only hoping for their man's victory, but longed for "anything to beat the University."
The Whitley opera house, where the contest was held, is not quite as large as the Bowersock opera house, but it was packed from parquette to gallery. The audience was large, fashionable and demonstrative—for their man. But throughout the evening the hard feeling against the State University was painfully manifest. This was not so among the leading students, but with the immense crowd of howlers and clackers who cannot rise above petty jealousies.
The first speaker was E. G. Buckland, of Washburn College, who spoke upon the "Present Outlook." He treated of the various questions in religion, society and politics, examined their causes and claimed that they were working out their happy solution. The peroration was very fine. Mr. Buckland's delivery is easy and forcible, his gestures smooth and his manner natural. The subject was a hackneyed one, putting him under a disadvantage.
The next orator was our representative, Mr. S. T. Gilmore. Readers of the Courier are all well acquainted with his style, and we can assure them that he never spoke better in any of his many victorious contests. His friends there were proud of their representative. His oration was by all odds the most finished on the program, and even Emporia men conceded him the second place.
the judges a double quartette of Normals rendered a funny song, at which the Emporia people laughed very loud.
From Ottawa came a young lady, Miss M. E. Cloud, with the subject, "The Jew of Fact, The Jew of Fiction." Miss Cloud's delivery was the strong point in her favor. Her style is rather dramatic than oratorical. She has a full, sweet voice, and commanded close attention. The oration itself was neatly composed, but was mostly a recapitulation of Shakespeare and Dickens, with a few morals drawn therefrom.
Emporia was represented by Mr. Alfred Docking, with an oration upon "The Congo Conference." Mr Docking had the advantage of a friendly audience, who listened with an attention they refused to give the others. The subject being a modern one, would naturally seem to bring originality, but as the orator wandered about in a desultory manner, his natural poor inflection had a wearying effect. His best point was his energy. His gestures were harsh and his appearance poor.
We believe the decision of the judges was a surprise to nearly every one of the large audience. Mr. Gilmore was generally conceded the second place by Emporia, Washburn and Ottawa. The judges ranked Emporia and Ottawa respectively first and second.
While waiting for the decision of
After a great many remarks by Dr. Collier, and a few ideas from Governor Anthony, the visitors were invited to a reception at the Cooldge Hotel parlors, an invitation which was gladly accepted by the Normals.
Before the contest the judges met and decided to grade the orators by their practical effect. This was manifestly unjust, when the audience was so prejudiced and partisan as that one, and especially bitter against K. S. U. Another point in which we lost was in having delivery, thought and composition, all marked on that night. One who reads the orations will see that Mr. Gilmore's is by far the best written, and in thought will compare with any. But that night, with an audience which strove in every way to show their feeling against the University and for the Normal, it was impossible to judge any point as to effect upon the hearers, the way in which it was done.
A very kind compliment was paid Mr. Bruce, alternate and delegate to the Association, while awaiting the decision of the judges. Mr. Bruce's reputation as a speaker seemed as well known there as here, the immense audience giving call after call for him. Mr. Bruce, in loyalty and courtesy to his first, in a few neat and well chosen remarks which were well received, declined. It was quite an oration.

From the Atchison Champion, pen of Hon. Noble Prentis, one of the judges at the contest at Emporia, we take the following deserved compliment to our delegate to the State Oratorical Association:
While many things we wish to speak of now, must be left for another time, we will speak of one pleasure among many, enjoyed at Emporra. It was that of meeting Mr. Blanche Bruce, of the State University, who has won a State reputation as an orator. After the close of the competitive speaking, and while the audience was waiting for the verdict, Mr. Bruce was loudly called for, but declined to go on the stage as a seeming competitor with a man from his own college. No gentleman of any race or nation ever did a more thoroughly gentlemany action, and outsiders came to understand how it is in the Kansas University that Mr. Bruce realizes that his fellow-students believe and show forth in their belief that "a man's a man for a' that."

To whom it may concern:

H. A.CUTLER, Publisher.
It is now in order to howl about the injustice and wrong of contests.
To Col. McClure: Your successor from Emporia is in favor of peace.
We have met the enemy, and we seem to be theirs by a large majority.
To Mr. Alfred Docking, of Emporia, the Courier makes its little bow. Shake, Brother Docking.
Oread's new program has our congratulations; but the best that we can tender the old one is sympathy.
The attendance of the faculty in chapel has exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the Courier.
Indications at present writing are that Oread's moon will have large spots of blood all over it this afternoon.
One of our merchants asked ye editor when the Athletic Association (?) is going to settle that little bill. Gentlemen, (?) this is a shame and a disgrace to the K. S. U.
MARVIN HALL.—We do not wish to presume, but if there is any one thing that would please faculty, students and citizen alike, and at the same time place a lasting monument to the honor of one who has done so much for our University, it would be the christening of our new natural history building Marvin Hall.
The wisdom of placing the K. S. U. in its present site has often been questioned; but when we contrast the death rate here with that of other colleges we see at once the fallacy. Nearly every one of our exchanges contains one or more obituaries. On the other hand, the K. S. U. has not lost a student this year by death. We certainly ought to be thankful for the blessing we enjoy in good health.
What Advantage?
We append a few extracts from answers to the following request to graduates of the University. They speak volumes to young men and women who are hesitating over the question, "Will it pay?" and make good editorial reading without comment. This is testimony that counts in behalf of culture.
Question: "Please state briefly the advantages, if any, which your experience proves that you derived from your University life and work."
EXTRACTS FROM ANSWERS.
Broader views, greater ambition.
The foundation of all my success.
EXTRACTS FROM ANSWERS.
A general broadening of all my views.
*Even my physical health was benefited.
Independent thought, and self-reliance.
Financially, the best investment 1 ever made.
The benefits are beyond all calculation.
The most practical thing I ever possessed.
The world seems larger, but not so strange.
A splendid foundation for any pursuit in life.
Was the foundation of all my business success.
Power to think, power to work,
which is success.
My success in business is due to University work.
The ability to pursue a definite object till attained.
It is a mine of unlimited wealth to me this day.
Disciplined to think logically, and to act systematically.
Respect for learning, contempt for frivolity, love of virtue.
It made me less bigoted and a better citizen; it made a man of me.
Financially, a lucrative position; otherwise, too numerous to mention.
It increased a hundred-fold my re sources, and capacities, and abilities.
It tended to develop what there was good in me, and to dwarf the evil.
A deeper and more varied interest in life, which gives it a ten-fold value.
I would gladly give ten years of social life for four spent at the University.
Gave me my business ideas, and my confidence in myself as a business man.
Discovered how little I knew, and how to add to my scanty store of facts.
Owe my position in the railway to my experience as one of the University Courier editors.
Enough of logical methods not to be blinded by the sand men throw into each other's eyes.
A better standing in the community than I could have gained in any other way.
I am better company for myself, and a better citizen, with far more practical interest in my State.
Would not exchange the advantages gained for one hundred times their cost to either the State or myself.
As a citizen, I have been changed from a narrow seeker of local interests, to a lover of my whole country.
A thorough preparation for my profession. (From a division engineer
*Strange language; but when we come to think the matter over, we remember that we used to have a gymnasium.
It has given me a place and an influence among a class of men whom I could not otherwise reach at all.
The gratifying feeling that I know at least a little more than is absolutely necessary for making my living.
A clearer view of the responsibilities of citizenship. (This reply, in substance, was repeated again and again.)
on the Northern Pacific railroad.)
Strong friendship with the most intelligent young men of the State; those who are certain to largely influence its destiny.
Of inestimable value in the daily affairs of business or social life. (This answer was repeated in substance by nearly all.)
Gave me a realizing sense of my uow unimportance in the world,except as I knuckled down to hard work and made myself felt.
The instruction given was as thorough as in any college in the United States. (From one of the faculty of Chicago Medical College.
Enabled me to command a good position and good pay, both of which I believe would have been better had I completed the course.
Implanted higher moral and humanitarian principles. It is a boon to young men and young women, higher than any other State can offer.
My love for the State grew with every lesson I received through her care. I saved five years of my life by her training, and am a more loyal and a better citizen.
I count the work done while attending the University as of equal importance with that at Columbia College. I would advise any young man intending to make Kansas his home to attend the State University in preference to any institution outside the State.
Our University needs a good gymnasium. As has been stated time and time again, the location of the K. S. U. building is such that physically the students are the gainers; but this is not sufficient—the mere climbing of a hill—to develop this part of our education.
We appreciate the generosity of our legislature. They gave us chemistry and natural history buildings, for which we are thankful. In the near future we expect to show our gratitude for the erection of an observatory and a library building; but what we need now and every day is a measure of obtaining that necessary element in a good education—physical culture. We do not ask for a gymnasium modeled after Yale or some of the extremests in this direction, but would like to see the old gymnasium refitted, which could be done with slight expense, and placed at the disposal of our students. At present the average student has no well regulated plan of exercise. A gymnasium, if not the best, would partially remedy this. By all means let us have a gymnasium.
The business managers of last year's COURRIER heard something drop, and emulated Davy Crockett's celebrated coon which "came down."
We received the Governor's proclamation for "arbor day" too late for this issue, but will publish it next week.
EXCHANGE.
We have long believed that the last few months of the Senior year would be a time of ease and pleasure; but not until recently have we seen the striking example which the dormitory affords. Two of the members of the Senior class, after dinner spend just fifteen minutes in study, and the rest of the afternoon in playing marbles and having a good time generally. Here is great encouragement to the timid Freshman and the despondent Sophomore who thinks of leaving college.—Rambler.
The Park College Monthly devotes considerable space to extracts from chapel rhetoricals. This would be a good plan at the K. S. U. In this way the student can obtain the cream of the chapel speeches without being compelled to listen to so much trash. It would be hard on the editor, however, to be obliged to attend chapel every morning to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Princeton is to have a daily paper.
The Senior class at Illinois College is called "the Apostles." There are twelve of them.
Twenty-one men were recently suspended in a Welsh College because the professor could not find out who placed a tin tack on his tricycle seat. 'Tis examples of this kind that make us appreciate the freedom of this country.
Students are not allowed to remain in the Ohio Wesleyan library for a longer time than is necessary to consult a periodical or draw a book. A good regulation for K. S. U.
Happy is the man who expects nothing, for verily he shall not be disappointed.—*Ev.* This rule does not work in the K. S. U.
The Hermes this month contains some well written articles. A change in printers would be the best improvement it could make.
The Phi-Rhonian, a neat little journal from the Bath, Maine, high school, is on our table. We think the time will soon come when some of our Kansas high schools will publish papers.
The Sabetha Herald has become one of the wide awake papers of this State, under the able management of B.C. Preston.
The students of Queen's College, Canada, are obliged to wear gowns. At the K. S. U. only fraternities wear them, and then only on state occasions.
A financial crisis is threatening Vassar College.
The 500th university of the University of Heidelberg occurs next year.
Sigma Nu claims to have a chapter of 27 men in Alabama University, notwithstanding the "anti-frat" laws.
England has one University student for every 5,000 population; Germany, one for every 2,000; New England, one for every 1,000; Scotland, one for every 600.
The average required for a diploma at Harvard has been raised from 40 to 50 per cent.
Dickinson college has become coeducational.
Union college has prospects of having President Arthur for president.
The William Jewell Student offers "a standing medal to every ministerial student who goes into the book business."
From the Occident we learn that the University of California will lose its president at the end of this academic year. We clip a few remarks which might well have been said of our own institution: "The circumstances under which this new institution exists, in a state whose age is measured by the life of one human generation, are such that any man, even if he were capable of conducting with honor the highest educational institution in the land, must expect to meet with opposition from the restless, unsettled people; from the student accustomed to follow no tried and well marked path, and possibly even from the faculty whose organization is not perfect—this is a great discouragement. It is evident from a consideration of these things that the affairs of the University are in a critical situation. Confusion for a time and complete uncertainty for a longer time is what is threatened. How can we expect a desirable man to accept the presidency, knowing the discouragements under which he must labor; knowing that the tenure of that office is insecure; knowing that there is every prospect that unless he is found to be the ideal man, he will be exposed to insult from all sides?
When it is recollected how diligently the present executive has worked for the improvement of the affairs of the institution, and of the condition of the students; if in view of the fact that no man of eminence has been publicly proposed for the position; no man whose breadth, culture and reputation would insure him the hearty co-operation of the faculty and students and would guard him from the discouraging effect of prejudice, the regents by some hocus-pocus be inveigled into electing to the presidency some one of no wider reputation than the present incumbent, and probably without his surict integrity and high purposes"—what then?

There are nearly five hundred students now attending the University. Every Spring as commencement draws near, in order to exchange souvenirs with friends made during the year, an immense photograph business is indulged in. Each student gets from one to ten dozen. Heretofore Hamilton, ever the student's friend, has, in view of the large amount of the trade, extended a "student's rate." This year he does better than ever. You should not have work done before seeing him.

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS: Many of the boys are blue over the result of the State contest. For one I don't share that feeling. We merely drew the poorest hand in a lottery having four chances. The judges doubtless decided conscientiously, but that don't prove anything regarding University merit.
Any one who has attended a college for four or five years knows that a contest is only a game of chance. Ability plays about as much part as in shaking dice. The awards in a contest depend upon tastes of judges. As no two sets of referees are likely to have the same taste, the decisions will vary accordingly. The game consists in drawing the right kind of judges.
judges.
As a general rule the audience is disappointed, if not disgusted, with contest awards. The reason is inobvious. The audience crowns the speaker who fires the imagination, appeals to the conviction and holds his hearers spell-bound. The judges give the laurels to the one who gets his words in most grammatical order, the commas and dashes and semicolons in the right place, who hasn't spunk enough to utter an opinion to which any one will object. So generally, the best in the fight fall before the bullets of the referees, while their more cautious brethren in the rear come up with flying colors and victorious shout. Last year we won the day—or rather the second day. This year we suffer defeat. We probably deserved the honor as much one time as the other.
Prize contests are a farce. They are condemned by the best educators. They detract from legitimate work. They create ill feeling. However, they offer one great advantage. Those who are fine speakers and don't need ficticious honors get left, while the poor sticks take the prizes, and are accordingly elated and encouraged. OBSERVER.
EDITOR VIEWS: —As you claim the Courier to be a student's paper, will you allow me space to answer the question asked by “Barb” in last week's issue, viz: “Is it an honor not to belong to a frat?”
I say it is, and that it means liberty to be a non-fraternity man. Permit me in return to ask a question. Where is the honor in belonging to a frat? As I take a birds-eye view of the students of our University, it appears to me a majority of our fraternity men are those who are either seeking a name for themselves, and who dare not rely upon their own ability, or else those who have so little judgment between what is right and wrong, that they are enticed within by some agent of the oily tongued genus.
I wish not to censure those whose principles are no hindrance to such connection. I say if one's principles (poorly formed) bear no opposition, he should by all means show his colors like a man, and be honest about it; for sooner or later "all birds of a feather flock together." But to see those who are so-called professors of religion playing a chance game with principles, character, time and money, for the *pitiable* privilege of associating with those who care more for the plumpness of their pocket book and their talent for dialogueing,
tion in Oread demonstrates the fact that quiet and unanimous elections are not so beneficial as they would at first seem. There are many ways in which a hotly contested election is beneficial. It awakens for a time, at least, a renewed interest in the affairs of the society, and attracts wide attention to its proceedings. It swells the roll of membership as nothing else can; not even diligent and faithful work. It shows a man who are his friends, who are his enemies and how much both are willing to do for or against him. It shows how much dependence can be placed in a man's word, and who can be relied upon as telling the truth and who cannot. And last, but perhaps greatest in importance, it makes a full treasury, and places a society on a sound financial basis. These are some of the ways in which such an election may be beneficial. But as on all questions, there is another side—another fact that has been demonstrated by the recent election in Oread, and in Orophilian too, and that is that in our literary societies merit is no longer the element that decides who shall fill the places of honor. In neither of these two elections did the fact that candidates were good members, poor members, old members or new, faithful or unfaithful, have half the weight that his belonging to this or that combination had. Candidates were supported or opposed because votes were to be gained for friends; enemies were to be defeated and combinations rendered successful. Of course it would be too much to say that no one voted conscientiously, believing that he was supporting the best man for the position, but no one who is not entirely ignorant of the way these two campaigns were conducted will deny that two-thirds of the representatives chosen owe their elections to the combinations that supported them, and are thoroughly aware that without this "for value received" support their election would have been impossible. We mean to cast no reflection on the successful candidates. It is a fact, a deplorable fact, that however deserving a member may be, however faithfully he may have worked for his society, how ever much time he may have spent in attending her meetings and preparing for the duties she may have called upon him to perform, notwithstanding the way he may have stood up for her, talked for her and fought for her, it is to combinations and schemes and to these alone, he must look for advancement. S.
Our Fraternities.
We receive communications from colleges all over the country asking the true status of affairs as pertaining to fraternities in the K. S. U. We can only answer in a general way, that fraternity rule in K. S. U. is being quite well broken. In a political way they now as per frat vs. barb assist in doing themselves up. We are now blessed with nine fraternities, and generally in political contests it is quite easy to play them against each other when they cannot be defeated in any other way. Boys urged to combat, drawing blood quite freely sometimes, combine forces against the "big boy," and then there is fun, with the greater part of the enjoyment generally on the side of the frats. We experience the usual trouble in uniting a loose element against a bonded union. The barbs will not stick. Honeyed words from some smooth, oily tongued Greek, with promise for future greatness, through his element are too often too seductive to be resisted. As is usual, the Greeks here as a class are the worst schemers, political tricksters, the least troubled by pangs of conscience, to be found in college. So much so that we who cannot get an initiation, lay it to purity and goodness as being the barring clause. With our faculty as regards Greeks we have nothing to complain. Brains with them are the measuring rod. Barbs in faculty appointments generally have high representatives.
EDITOR VIEWS :—
From a social standpoint the wearing of a pin is fast sinking in significance. The "aristocratic" days of Greekdom are evidently gone here. As a general thing, the able class of young men now entering school, after looking the ground over well, show no inclination to join the frats. Barbs look upon the action of a man who has been in school one or two years joining a frat as indicative of a weakening of individuality. The fraternity ladies and gentlemen make no noticeable distinction socially. Social merit is recognized wherever it exists.
We are perhaps as well beridden by fraternities as any college in the country. With an enrollment of 550 students, we have nine fraternities, with about 140 members in all. The real social, fraternal feeling in the greater part of them is not very strong. There is hardly a frat here in which one-half of the membership is really admitted to the "brotherhood."
Political interests heretofore have done more than aught else to cement these bodies. Now losing their power in this line, fraternity influence is fast on the decline.
We would advise Orophilians to come prepared with their pieces, as Oreads may go into secret session.
Prof. Sterling's anabasis class has thoroughly reviewed the first two books, and will enter upon the Hellenica next week.
The old Courier company having given notice of their willingness to settle, it is now in order for the Athletic Association to follow suit.

State Oratorical Association.
The Association met at Emporia last Friday afternoon, transacted routine business, appointed a committee to revise the constitution and referred a request of the Presbyterian College at Emporia to enter the Association.
Cap. Shane this week cuts under all the photographers in town in prices. Call and see him. He guarantees work and prices.
Saturday morning the second meeting was held. Several amendments were made to the constitution, the most important of which was the division of the contest judges into two divisions, one lot to mark on composition and thought, the other on delivery.
The Presbyterian College of Emporia was admitted to the Association. The following officers were elected: President, Ellsworth Ingalls, of Washburn; vice president, Mr. Cole, of Ottawa; secretary and treasurer, W. Y. Morgan, of the State University. Solon T. Gilmore, of K. S. U., was elected delegate to the inter-state association, his expenses to be paid, and E. G. Buckland also elected delegate, to pay his own expenses. Topeka was selected as the place to hold the next contest.
A very few members were in attendance at Oread last Friday, but that few in about an hour tore down and rebuilt what it took cliques and combinations four weeks to complete, viz, a "June program." The fact that out of over a hundred active (or rather, inactive) Oreads, only ten took enough interest in the welfare of the society to climb the hill on so beautiful an afternoon, struck that ten with the idea that if they represented the society they had the right to say what it should or what it should not do. So when the minutes of the previous meeting were read, that part of them relative to the "June program" was stricken out. In due time and regular form the following program was elected: Orator, Cyrus Crane; debater, F.W. Barnes; declaimer, Jean Oliver; essayist, Sadie Emery; president of Bayard evening, H.E. Riggs. We cannot guarantee our readers that this will be the final program, as the cliques and factions will doubtless be on hand this afternoon.

Just about the time our coldest weather began, the Normal School of Rosario, Argentine Republic, was having its commencement. Miss Morrow seems to be herself there as here, incapable of anything but good work. We clip these paragraphs from the Rosario Mensagero: We may say in view of the proofs presented yesterday in the presence of the general examiners, that the Normal school is in the front rank of the best establishments in the country. The government should not neglect to provide it with suitable buildings. The audience warmly congratulate graduates, professors, and especially the directress, Miss Morrow. The Courier trusts that the Rosario legislature may treat the Normal school as generously as the Kansas legislature did the University.
The Orophilian literary society met on last Friday with a larger attendance than has graced the hall this season. This was occasioned on account of the excellent musical program announced two or three weeks previous, or the general good time, we are not certain which. To say that the program was well carried out would not be doing justice to the parties who took part in it. The program rendered was about as follows: Flute trio, Messrs. Johnson, Higgins and Albach; solo, Miss Merrill, which was the most pleasing part of the exercises. All we need to say in regard to it is that she sang in her usual captivating style, and the reputation of Miss Merrill is so well known as to need no words of praise from us. Piano so lo, Miss Bell; flute solo, Mr. Abach; duett, Miss Bell and Mr. Higgins; piano solo, Miss House. It is useless to say that Miss House played a splendid and difficult piece of music, which was highly appreciated, as she has the reputation of being one of the best pianists in the city. Two recitations, Misses Reasoner and House; male quartette, by Johnson, Blair, Albach and Higgins; flute duet, Johnson and Albach; then came America, by all, and a general good time, which was the most enjoyable part of the program to the Oreads.
The Brunonian is the oldest college paper in the United States. It claims to have been started in 1825.

To say that Oread came to the front last Friday, as she always does in an emergency, is a mild way to put it.
We are not yet quite prepared to enthuse over the representative from Kansas in the inter-state oratorical contest.
It would be a good thing for the literary socities to add a provision to their constitutions only allowing those members to vote at elections, who have been in the society at least one month, and have performed upon the literary program at least once.
The advanced instructors in Greek and Latin all over the country are beginning to favor making those studies elective. By this action the classical lecture room would be freed from the drones and idlers, who are there merely because they have to be.
Governor Martin's proclamation setting apart Thursday, April 2d, as Arbor Day, will be found in another column. The purpose set forth as to the observance of such a day is very praiseworthy, and by all uniting to carry out this design by deed as well as word, much good will result therefrom to our glorious young state.
The base ball season is here once more. In our University there is plenty of first class material to make a splendid team. Let some live men take hold of this matter, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make good games. The writer has several letters from eastern clubs desirous of making dates with us during their western tour.
The Alarm, a socialist organ published in Chicago, is being mailed free to quite a number of K. S. U. students. German Universities may harbor nihilistic and socialistic
schemes, but when the advocates of this doctrine come to us and ask sympathy for dynamiters and midnight assassins we must without much respect and with considerable emphasis say No.
The city election will be held in a few days. As a matter of advice to some of our would-be politicians, and especially those not old enough to vote, we must say, don't meddle with city politics. If you are a resident and of age we have no objection to raise. The argument is often advanced that scheming and wire pulling has a tendency to and does prepare us for our contact with the outside world. Looking at the last effects of the last campaign of one of our literary societies the conclusion readily comes that politics in the K. S. U. are a curse to the institution. The general methods of the politician are not countenanced by any of the better classes of the American people, and even in our own University there are many who are looked upon as being ready to make a bargain as soon as any ward politician in town. Politics may be fascinating, but the truth is evident that when you mix study and politics one wins at the other's expense, and it is only too frequent that the loss effects time study and money.
Why This Thusness?
Recently there has been a rumor spread about among the students that the faculty looked with disfavor upon the proceedings of one of the literary societies, and was about to take steps toward an examination into its affairs. Though this report has happily been discovered to have been utterly without foundation, it has brought to the notice of the society members one unpleasant fact. During the whole of the present year not more than two of our professors have attended a meeting of either society, and such a thing as a member of the faculty being seen in the halls on a Friday afternoon has been sufficient to furnish evidence to many that some dure punishment was soon to come from the powers that be upon the organization.
The statement of this fact should call for an explanation. In no college in the land are the relations between faculty and students so pleasant and friendly as in the University of Kansas. No where else is the whole body of students so devoted to the interests of the institution. And yet these literary societies are the chief organizations among the students; are almost the only places in which they meet on a free and equal footing; are nearly the only means by which the pulse of their feelings, ideas and self work can be felt. Why do not more professors attend these Friday afternoon meetings, mingle more friendly with those whom they instruct during the week, and learn to know more of those whom they govern?
Our Position on the Fraternity Question.
If they should do so, we are sure that they would not only better understand the students, and be aided by that in their work of government, but they would also exercise a good influence upon the societies, improve their work and general tone, and make the members feel that the faculty were really interested in them other than as machines in the class room.
We are often asked to define our position on this much argued question, and by friends and foes our attitude is sometimes misrepresented. At the beginning of the year, when enemies were attacking the Courier on all sides, and especially in the rear, we laid down our platform upon this subject, and have endeavored never to depart from it.
The chief timber out of which the fraternity plank of our platform is constructed, is Justice. We believe that no matter whether a man wears the glittering badge of a secret society or not, he is entitled to the advancement and promotion which are due to his ability. We believe that brains should be the standard of preferment and not party. We believe that fraternities have a great influence for good. We know that as political machines they are tyrannical, despotic, unjust.
If any one is disposed to doubt this, let him cast his eye upon any election, upon any organization in which there have been struggles for control, and say if he does not see each fraternity striving to advance its men and coming up solidly to their support.
The constitution of the Courier company does away with this. We have the ardent support of some of these fraternities, who are willing to acknowledge the correctness of our position. We have the solid backing of nearly all non-fraternity men in the University, who are willing to assert their rights and work for justice.
Then, too, we believe that "fair play is a jewel," and one worth working for. Fraternity men and nonfraternity men who are willing to come together, lay aside their factional jealousies and aid in building up a paper which will be an honor and credit to the University and the students, are cordially invited to join us, to aid us.
The COURIER is not "anti-fraternity," as some seem to imagine, and others like to assert. The underlying principle upon which we stand is that contained in the couplet:
Be he barb or be he frat,
A man's a man, for a' that.
The benefits arising from the establishment of a chair of pedagogy would be of great value. As a large per cent of the graduates of our University follow the profession of teaching, it follows that what all instructors of ability and long standing say concerning good teachers—which is, that they must have that training which is not afforded in the regular class recitation—must have more force.
Many of the best colleges of this country have established a permanent chair of pedagogy, and this goes to prove that they have recognized the benefits derived from a source of this kind are of great advantage to any one, regardless of the particular profession he has chosen.
Another reason in favor of this is the fact that at present there are many students in the Normal department to whom the University is in justice bound to provide a means of furnishing the course. These students, accepting the faith of the institution, have come here expecting to complete the course. If the Normal's department is entirely removed they will have no means of finishing their course at the K. S. U., and much injustice and inconvenience must necessarily result from this action. Should a chair of didactics or pedagogy be established here, those having partially finished a course could be provided for with but a slight inconvenience.
It is our hope that the faculty and regents will see this matter in the same light as have many of the older colleges in the land.

We acknowledge the complimentary remarks of so many of our college brethren, and take all their advice—that we want.
Among the advantages of a college education the Lehigh Burr places the uncredited selections from different authors contained in a graduates newspaper correspondence.
The Delta Tau Delta and Rainbow (Southern) fraternities have consolidated, under the name of "Delta Tau Delta and Rainbow," with an active chapter roll of thirty-eight.
We are happy to correct an error in a statement regarding college graduates in congress, which we published some time ago. Dickinson College is a tie with the University of Virginia for second place, having eight members. We do not blame the Dickinsonian for howling about the way editors take up items which a little observation would show to be false, and give them circulation.
The Hanover Monthly wants to know why it would not be a good thing to debar Preps from the literary societies, just as well as from the fraternities. That is the question the Ohio Wesleyan University student is now asking himself. Some years ago he had a satisfactory answer to the question. The three upper societies agreed to admit no more men except such as were in the college proper; but the rule had not been in operation long before one of the societies violated it. Evil days returned; Prep programs cooled the ardor of the upper classmen, and the societies went down, down. After having reaped the fruit of their folly, they have now reestablished the broken rule.—Transcript.
The marking system is at last abolished—more as an experiment than as an established order. What is thus far developed is by no means startling, although in many cases extremely amusing. The new system, in lieu of marking every recitation, furnishes examinations at times unknown to the class but never more than two months apart. The student is held responsible for everything taken since the previous examinations, and upon the result of these examinations is largely determined the stand at the completion of the course. No teacher is allowed to tell the class at what time the examination in his particular branch will be held; it may be in a day, a week, a month, but the class must be prepared for any emergency.-Crescent.
Inviting.
Pretty and sweet, ever so neat,
Sitting alone in a tete-a-tete seat,
Seeming to say by her negligent air,
Come and sit side of me, sir, if you dare.

Knowing the ropes and more than expert;
When she goes further and seems to insist,
Who for the moment would dare to resist?

STATE OF KANSAS, EXECUTIVE DEP,
Topeka, March 16th, 1885.
To the People of Kansas:
The custom of appointing an Arbor Day now prevails in eight States of the union, and it is believed that it will soon be honored in all of the States and Territories, the east and west following the lead of the central States of the Missouri valley. The people of Kansas went to planting trees as soon as they began to plow, and increasing millions of shade, fruit and forest trees are planted every year. The love of the Kansan for trees has shown itself on every farm and village lot; in city parks and the grounds of the church and the school, and the God's Acre where our beloved ones sleep their last sleep. This feeling is equally strong in the minds of old and young—in women not less than men; it leads to practical results in increasing the value of land, and in ameliorating the asperities of our climate—that there has been an increase in the rainfall in Kansas is fully proved by the statistics of our oldest meteorologists—and it leads to uses of beauty in adorning our homes, and making them scenes of loveliness, the remembrance of which will follow our children to the last days of their old age. The State which the pioneers found treeless and a desert, now bears upon its fertile bosom more than twenty millions of fruit trees, and more than two hundred thousand acres of forest trees, all planted by our own people.
In view of these facts, and in obedience to the popular will, I, John A. MARTIN, Governor of Kansas, hereby set apart Thursday, April 2, 1882, as Arbor Day, and respectfully ask that it be made a general holiday. School officers and teachers can greatly aid in carrying out the purpose of the day by giving their pupils a holiday, and by devoting special attention to the adornment of school grounds and parks.
Done at Topeka, this 16th day of March. A. D. 1885, and of the State the twenty-fifth year.

Mr. Samuel Edge, of Liberty, San Miguel Co., New Mexico The, who was troubled with catarrh of the throat and nose for fifteen years, came to Kansas City Nov. 1884, to receive treatment for the same. He had heard of Dr. Kimberlin, of the Eye and Ear Infirmary, and sought his advice. Entrusting his case to the doctor, he was enabled to leave the city March 2d, fully restored to health. Another case of catarrh—and that of the worst type—which was cured and treated in mid winter, at that.
Mr. E says that he was so afflicted with this disease that he was actually driven by it from society and a good position. It was revolting in the extreme to him, and almost worse than death. If any one doubts the truth of the above, let him address Mr. E.

In spite of our usual bashfulness, we would like to propose a student's convention, which should select Hamilton as the photographer for the whole University, in consideration of his extraordinary offer of fifteen of his unsurpassable cabinets for three dollars.
The committee appointed by the Senior class to make arrangements for photographs will report in favor of Hamilton, who not only takes the best pictures, but gives the unprecedented low rate of fifteen cabinets for three dollars.

The matinee in Orophilian hall, which was given immediately after the society adjourned their last meeting, was pronounced a complete success by all present. The faculty were not there.
Quite a number of students went over to Bismark Grove to witness the duel between an old student, Dan Crew, and a gentleman from 11-worth with snipe-hunting proclivities.

Last Friday evening the members of the Phi Gamma Delta entertained their lady friends with a pleasant hop at their hall. The evening was delightfully passed in dancing to the inspirations strains of the Italian orchestra, and the only cessation was a temporary one to enjoy the pleasures of the festal board at Pershall's.
Our motto, "'Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken,'" has at last been subjected to a cruel joke. Every member of the editorial staff has received a copy of the Alarm, a communist dynamite paper published in Chicago. It seems that the editor of that sheet has taken our motto in the socialistic sense, as it were.
Oread.
What the Courier Would Like to See.
The society was called to order by President Bowersock with a good audience in attendance. The program before recess was rather short, and as follows: Declamation, Miss Emery; essay, Miss Dunn; oration, W. Y. Morgan. After recess the question, Resolved, That the freedom of the press should be restrained, was debated, on the affirmative by Gilmore and Dunn, and on the negative by Martin and Morgan. There was an interesting irregular debate. The society is in splendid condition financially and otherwise.

The effect of the arrival of the K. S. U. Science Club on the natives of Kansas City.
A Chicago firm is now extensively advertising in college papers that they will supply orations, etc., very reasonably. It is perhaps not generally known that we have just such a firm in Lawrence. Any one having need of anything in this line can receive it very reasonably by applying to the COURIER, enclosing fifty cents as a guarantee of good faith.
A meeting of all of the members of the Athletic Association is requested to be held in Prof. Miller's room, Monday at the close of the fourth hour. Everybody is invited, members and officers of the A. A. are particularly requested, and the faculty will be welcomed. On our table is a letter from the president of the A. A. which is good reading matter.
A petition has been circulated among the students and signed with remarkable unanimity, asking that a spring vacation of one week be granted by the faculty. Nearly every college in the country has such a vacation, and none but good results spring therefrom. If there is no vacation students will, one by one, take one to visit their homes, and by the continual absence of some, class work is seriously interfered with. Would it not be better to give the week desired, and then all would return refreshed and ready for the hard work of spring. The students are practically unanimous in favor of the proposition, and only a few chronic kickers dissent.
Kappa Kappa Gamma.
One of the most pleasant entertainments of the season was given by the members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity last Thursday evening in honor of the initiation of Miss Kate Powell into the sisterhood. The "great act" was performed in the afternoon by the society, and in the evening the gentlemen friends of the members arrived promptly at the hour of eight, and soon after all was at the height of gayety. First came the entrance waltz, followed in quick succession by the quadrille, polka and schottische, and then came the supper. Huge pyramids of ice cream, mountains of cake and sandwich, not counting the numerous other good things, disappeared wonderfully before the attacking host of hungry boys (and girls).
Then euchre was indulged in until the ebony clock tolled out one of the wee sma' hours, reminding the merry company that they must say good night to their fair hostess and the hospitable girls of K. K. G.
Some time ago we announced that the Science Club would get up excursions to points of scientific interest and thus unite practical observation with their regular theoretical work. We are glad the scheme did not "die a borning," but that to-morrow the first of these excursions will be made. The object of this trip will be Kansas City, with the points of interest in that place and vicinity, and will start to-morrow on the eight o'clock train. A special car has been chartered and about fifty students will make the trip.
The editor of the Reviews department in the University Review takes this earliest opportunity to state that the date for his paragraph on Gen. Swaim, was taken from a hostile paper. Hence some misstatements were made. ED. REVIEWS.
ED. VIEWS.
VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS:—Will you kindly give me space to correct a few errors into which a writer in the last Review has fallen, through carelessness or ignorance of military technicalities?
Gen. Swaim has not been found guilty of fraudulently procuring money on army vouchers. He was found guilty only of two specifications of one charge, and this under such circumstances as to warrant the alteration of the wording from "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman," to "conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline"—a much less serious offense. Of the second charge and its specifications General Swaim was found "not guilty."
The writer had evidently confused the Swaim court-martial with the facts in the case of Col. Morrow, who was tried by the same court and who really was "found guilty of fraudulently procuring money on army vouchers"—a much more disgraceful proceeding than any laid to General Swain's charge. Naturally, then, judging from General Swain's sentence, dismissal was the least that could be meted out to Col. Morrow, especially as this was his third conviction for a like offense. But the "great mercy" shown by the court was all saved up for the latter officer, and it was decreed that he forfeit all right of advancement in his grade for the next two years. The nearest approach that can be made to saying that mercy was shown General Swaim is that he certainly did not receive justice.
It is only fair to the court-martia which tried General Swaim to record that the sentence originally inflicted was "to be suspended from rank, duty and pay, for the period of three years;" and this sentence was changed only under the severest pressure, after the proceedings had twice been returned to the court by President Arthur with his own strictures and those of the Attorney General—circumstances so remarkable as to call an indignant denunciation on the floor of the Senate by Mr. Ingalls, who declared "That if the public statements were correct, the proceedings subsequent to the trial were a disgrace to civilization. It was a shame that any tribunal of law should be subjected to the pressure and the violent interference that appeared to have been brought to bear, not in the interest of justice, but for the purpose of compelling a verdict more injurious to the accused man. * * * 'No man,' he said, 'could read the history of the proceedings without coming to the settled conviction that there was a deliberate purpose some where not to do justice, but to accomplish vengeance against the accused officer.'"

Arbor Day a Holiday.
EDITOR VIEWS:That we are all tired of studying, there is no use denying, and that the long "grind' from January to June ought to be broken up by a holiday, we all agree. In many of our schools and colleges a rest from school work is given to the students about the first of April, and where the custom has been adopted it has in every case proved satisfactory.
The governor in his Arbor Day proclamation particularly recommends that it be made a holiday by all schools; and as we overlooked Washington's birthday, the faculty could afford to grant us the time. The day occurs April 2nd, just after the half term exams are over, and the students all no doubt would enjoy it.
In as much as we have no such established custom, why would not the proper observance of Arbor Day be a good idea.
EDITOR VIEWS:-
There has been a petition circulating among the students for a weeks vacation in April. There are many arguments which can be brought up against this vacation. If we should have a spring vacation, either our term would be shortened or school would hold further into the summer. Now many of our students support themselves by their work done in the long vacation. Again, the poorer students could ill afford to go to their homes for a week in the spring, and the money spent for board is well nigh lost. Of course the time van be spent in study, but is it likely to be so spent? Add to these the necessary break in studies and general demoralization resulting from a vacation, and I think that all right thinking students would be willing to forego any pleasure to be derived from a "Spring vacation," and keep on "grinding."
