Judge Otis was the first to respond to the hearty call for a speech to be followed successively by Judge Peck, Prof. Fitzpatrick, Judge Smith and Messrs.

MOTTO. — Fraternity' Rule Must Be Broken.
Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kansas, as second class matter.
Cutler's Petroleum Engine Print.
The discipline of the University was never as rigidly enforced as now.
The new method of classification is a crusher to the aspiring underclassman.
We hope every one had a pleasant vacation, as Arbor Day certainly should be a treemendous time.
The new board of regents enter upon their duties in a way which inspires the utmost confidence in the results of their administration.
The professors failed to respond to our hint that their presence would be beneficial to the literary societies, but it is a fact just the same.
WANTED, by the glorious State of Kansas, who yearly sends one hundred and thirty of her sons to other States for instruction, a medical department in her State University.
The system of marking students by term standing and examinations combined is a fraud. A student who attends classes and makes a good per cent. should be passed without examinations.
Hon. J. W. Green was last Tuesday re-elected dean of the law department. The Courier congratulates both him and the department. With the greater support now given the department, we will expect to see it prosper.
To all aspiring young politicians we would say, be careful not to make personal enmities which will follow you through life; but let all your contests be honorable, friendly and without bitterness.
The co-operative plan has been tried in quite a number of our colleges, and has proven at least a financial success. When are the energetic young men of K. S. U. going to push such a scheme into successful operation here?
For the benefit of some of our students who are in the habit of playing ball in the city park, we take this opportunity of informing them that the city authorities have forbidden it and will prosecute any that infringe on these regulations.
Who's a Nihilist?
It has been charged from time to time that the State University is full of socialists, communists and nihilists; that the professors teach it, the students draw it in with their infant breath, and that we are steeped, honeycombed, undermined, alive, rotten, saturated and other things, with doctrines which threaten the safety of the State.
As this language is applied to every one who doubts that we are well into the Millennium, and since the same trumpet-toned geese have warned us that Gov. Martin's epoch-making treatment of the recent strike indicates that he is tainted, tinctured, etc., with the same dangerous principles, we don't feel very bad about it.
But certain pious and very religious institutions in the State have held up their hands in holy horror at the depth of our wickedness, stuck their tongues in their cheeks and gathered in the few timid lambs whose parents dared not trust them near such a dangerous straw man.
Now comes the Chicago Alarm, organ of the International Workingmen's Society, a paper whose next number is to contain the easiest recipes for making dynamite, and announces through its editor that a branch of the International was organized a month ago in Topeka, including in its membership ten earnest students, and this is confirmed by a letter in the same issue of the paper, signed by Harry A. Blakesley, referring to the interest taken by the students in their new club.
Now here is something tangible. A branch of the famous-infamous International society in the bosom of Washburn. Let the newspapers that are languishing for the blood of a real fresh nihilist get out their kazoos and pea-shooters and go down to the capital.
Verily, scarcely Highland can be saved, and Baker must take to the woods when such things can go on without filling the air with spears and eggs and boots and other things.
Progress.
The faculty are discussing the feasibility of changing the weekly holiday from Saturday to Monday.
Quite a number of reasons have been advanced for this change, but the one which we presume has its full effect in this direction is that studying on Sunday is not just the thing most conducive to first class morals, and that many who are too conscientious to seek earthly knowledge on this day should not have temptation thrown in their way, thus enabling them with many others to be able to avoid that familiar phrase which greets us Monday mornings: "Prof., I'm not prepared this morning."
We Want a Medical College.
If the change is made it will give proper time to prepare for all recitations. We can see, or imagine we see, where the benefits would arise by the adoption of this plan.
If the faculty adopts it, there will be, no doubt, more or less inconvenience growing out of negligence to think that the new has superceded the old. The boys can have their game of base or foot ball on Monday as well as on Saturday, but how are we going to provide for the unlucky Seventh Day Adventist who happens to cast his lot among us.
Of course this measure must naturally meet much opposition, and probably not succeed at all.
This is the substance of a petition signed by about thirty of our best students, and sent last Wednesday to the board of regents. For some reason the regents passed it over until their next meeting, which will be held in May. Whether they did not consider it of sufficient importance to act upon it at once or whether they desired more time to consider it, we do not know. However, it is probably the latter, as it is a question of no little importance, and should be well weighed before they act upon it.
That we want and should have a medical school is evident. The project is favored by all, professors, students and citizens alike, for it would be of great advantage not only to the University, but to the city of Lawrence and to the State.
Statistics set forth in the petition show that in the school year 1882-83 one hundred and thirty-eight students left the State of Kansas for the purpôse of attending medical colleges elsewhere.
Surely, if we establish a medical school, enough of these to justify the step would come to Lawrence; for of these one hundred and thirty-eight, ninety went to our two nearest States, viz: Missouri and Illinois. It seems almost conclusive that they endeavored to attend those schools nearest to Kansas.
The new course of pharmacy which will begin next year will bring many students here, who if there was a good medical school, would prefer the latter and conclude to take a full course in medicine although they did not intend to practice it; for a knowledge of medicine is indispensible to the pharmacist, the better to acquaint him with his own profession.
Clinical material would be sufficient, although we ought to have a hospital. Lawrence needs a place in which the poor may receive treatment; for as the matter stands now a person who is a stranger to the city has no place that he can go in case of sudden sickness. Every town having over 6,000 inhabitants should have a hospital, and Lawrence is twice that size, and yet has not a place for a sick wanderer to lay his head. The city for very little cost could either buy or rent a house in an isolated part of town, and fit up quite a respectable hospital. It owes this much to its citizens, to say no nothing of the University; for without that institution the city would be in a very bad condition. The students of the University leave over $100,000 in Lawrence every year, and certainly the city owes to them if not to itself, a hospital.
By all means let us have a medical school, and if the regents establish one they will surely not regret the step they have taken in adding one more name to the list of institutions working to fit young men for one of the noblest professions.
Is it not time that the societies should prepare accurate histories of themselves? This should be done before the men who know of their early struggles, defeats and triumphs, are beyond reach. The greater part of the history of the students of the University is contained in the history of the literary societies, and this should not be lost. Let us have society historians and histories.
Oread and Orophilian!
Harvard, Yale and Cornell have daily papers. Princeton will soon join them.
EXCHANGE.
Among the alumni of Yale are the two great lexicographers, Webster and Worcester.
Hebrew is the most popular language at Dickinson; Spanish at Columbia; German at Yale.
Another son of the Adams family is coming to the front. He is president of the Freshman claas at Harvard.
Bowdoin seems to have her own way in shaping Maine legislation. The governor, attorney general and seventeen legislators are her alumni.
"Thon," the proposed new pronoun (impersonal, singular number), is being taught by some of the teachers in the public schools at Lewiston, Me.
Any Amherst student who has spent two hours in preparing a lesson but has failed to learn it in that time, can by reporting the fact be excused from reciting.
The students of Princeton can hold no class meetings without first obtaining the president's consent and making known to him the business to be transacted.
Brown University has recently added a billiard table to her gymnasium. We hope the regents of the K. S. U. will remember this when they establish our gymnasium.
The Illini comes to us this week a model paper. It is a semi-monthly, with sixteen well printed pages full of the kind of matter which is read with interest by the students.
Seven per cent. of the students at Harvard belong to the college brass band. If the same per cent. could be maintained at the K. S. U. we could have the largest band in the State.
The average annual expenses of a student at Harvard are $800; Amherst, $500; Columbia, $800; Princeton, $500; Yale, $800; Williams, $500; University of Michigan, $400; K. S. U., $350.
One of our best exchanges, the Bethany Collegian, says: If it were not for the arbitrary rules in force for attendance at chapel, we believe some of the students would be absent as much as some of the professors.
A cooperative society has been or ganized by the students of the Michigan University. Its object is to save to the students the profits of middlemen; its membership is 231; its cash transactions have amounted to over $2,000.
The New York Sun says the students of Harvard have in contemplation as a new overture in dramatic art the production at an early date of "Julius Caesar," with costumes and accessories modeled on those in use in Caesar's time. Most of the roles have been assigned to Seniors, Prof. White will supervise the representation. The text used will be that of the old folio.
The Dickinsonian devotes several columns to proving that their students are overworked. As high as twenty hours recitation per week are required, which seems to signify either short lessons or imperfect recitations. Very few students can carry four recitations per day with credit,
and those who do, must do it at the expense of time which should be devoted to recreation.
The latest departure in college journalism is the Collegian, published in New York City in the interest of all colleges. Its staff consists of editors chosen from the alumni of fifteen of the leading American colleges. It is highly spoken of by the president of Yale, Williams, Brown, Amherst, University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Dickinson, DePauw and others, and although its beginning is rather modest it ought to be a success, for it certainly has a place in college journalism.
The plan of using Monday instead of Saturday as the holiday of the week has been adopted by many eastern colleges, and they are very enthusiastic over its good results. Monday's lessons are proverbially the worst of the week. This would undoubtedly be done away with, as has been shown by the experience of other colleges. Let us try this plan and if once given a fair trial we will have no desire to go back to the old style. —Gleaner. A wave seems to have struck the college world.
Very much has been said recently, and justly too, about non-attendance at chapel. This disregard for one of the most important college duties seems to be periodical, though the disease has appeared in a malignant form a little earlier than usual this year. Every college duty should be performed conscientiously. The approbation of self and others, which is the accompaniment of duty performed, is an element of happiness that all should possess. But while we recognize the justice of required attendance on the part of the students, we can not excuse the non-observance of the same rules on the part of the faculty. The fact that the proportion of absences of that body at morning prayers exceeds that of the students, can be proved by the records of attendance kept by several of the students. This is no excuse for them. We only mean to say that an example is sometimes of very great importance. Practice and preaching should have no antinomy.—Wabash.

The Science Club Excursion.
Promptly at the hour appointed on Saturday morn, the Science Club appeared in force at the depot, and in a special car full to overflowing, departed in high spirits for Kansas City. A lively time was enjoyed on the way down, and the frequent I. C. U. and I go's were heard from many parts of the car.
On the arrival of the club in Kansas City it at once organized for business, and as the first point of interest to all proceeded to the large packing house of Plankington, Armour & Co., where they were very kindly received, and all the various workings of the house explained. The department was first shown where by the use of amonia the water is cooled to a very low temperature and used over a great part of the establishment to keep the temperature as low as possible. Following this the club were shown through the various stages of the preparation of beef, from the time the cattle are driven into the house till they come out, partly sealed in cans, partly in the form of dried beef, partly in the form of fertilizers, every part being consumed, even to the blood, which is dried and sold as a fertilizer.
Next in order was shown the similar methods for the preparation of hogs for food. They being almost altogether handled by machinery it is remarkable the number that can be slaughtered in a day, the capacity being about 20,000 hogs and 1,000 cattle.
In connection with the establishment is conducted tin and cooper shops, so that the establishment is in itself almost complete.
The department, however, which seemed to attract the most universal interest was for the manufacture of oleomargarine; and I think I may say that while all were doubtless prejudiced against it on going in, they came out convinced that oleomargarine as manufactured there is really superior to a great deal of genuine butter, and to all appearances and taste equal to any butter.
The above having occupied the entire morning, after dinner the new cable line attracted the attention of most of these students of science, and was "alone well worth the price of admission." Those having a taste for the civil engineering could admire the many parts of this skill, while the taste of the mechanically inclined was satisfied by the two splendid 250 horse power engines employed to run the cable.
At this point the club divided, part visiting bridges and water works, part taking in the medical college and soap factories. Thus was the entire day employed, and on returning a jolly crowd at night, all voted the excursion a success beyond most sanguine expectation, and every one to have had a delightful time, and furthermore decided that it was a good thing to be a member of the University Science Club.

Science Club.
The Science Club held their regular meeting on Friday, at the appointed time, the following program being rendered: The Theories of Flames, Prof. Nichols; Anaesthetics, Dr. T. H. Rockwell; Scientific News, Mr. Stimpson.
The paper of Dr. Rockwell deserves special mention, being accompanied by experiments of a very interesting nature, among others being successfully shown the beating of the heart and the respiration in the case of a cat while under the influence of chloroform.
The usual goodly number were in attendance, and were all enthusiastic in their praise of the success of the meeting. REPORTER.

VIEWS.
CARL HOFrMAN,
LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS
EDITOR VIEWS:—It has been rumored that the faculty intend changing our weekly holiday from Saturday to Monday. Now the faculty has some object in view in doing this, and this object probably is to promote the standard of scholarship. Will they succeed? At present almost all of the parties or dances gotten up by students come on Friday night. The bad effects are not felt on Monday. If a change were to be made the parties could not occur on either Saturday or Sunday, and they would have to come during school days. Sunday studying would probably be stopped, but is not Sunday work preferable to no work at all? In this pleasant Spring weather a student is prone to neglect or delay his work till the last minute. As there is not much else to be done on Sunday, the work is done then if at all. But Monday there will be other attractions, and I think that the student will come up with a happy "don't know," on Tuesday. There are good arguments in favor of the proposed change. It really increases the faculty's control over the students. It makes the student attend more strictly to work or become more adept in rendering excuses. The faculty will probably advance these arguments. If the students will submit quietly all will go well. The matter should be well discussed, in order that the "powers that be" may know the feeling of the students on the subject. R. E. HENRY.
Co-education.
It has long been a question of serious thought and consideration, and perhaps of doubt, whether our institution is a good place to educate our girls or not.
The question, of course, is not upon the fitness of our courses to their wants; for our plans of instruction embrace what they need, and nothing that they are not able to master; but whether outside influences are to be feared; whether the girls can be trusted to take care of themselves.
It is charged that it is too dangerous a thing to send them here without a guardian; that left to choose their own society and consult their own weak wisdom, they are led away, petted and spoiled, and fail to accomplish that for which they were sent, and that it has been a demonstrated fact that a "pretty girl" is very little improved intellectually, morally or socially, after spending a few years at our college.
In all our schools all over the land, the custom of keeping the sexes so strictly separated is fast disappearing, and we see more schools with both sexes enjoying the full social privileges of men and women.
This is a part of our education, a privilege which ought to be denied to none. To learn how to conduct ourselves in society is a learning which every man claiming to be educated ought to possess.
No objection therefore ought to be made to the college parties, little dances and the acceptance by any lady of the attention of a gentleman. But the ladies should have a care that such privileges are not carried too far. The ladies are always responsible for the state of society in a
community, and our University girls should see to it that our college society is such that no lady should be afraid to enter.
Does it Pay?
EDITOR VIEWS:—There certainly is a great deal of carelessness existing somewhere in the caring for the campus. Stock daily roams over it, destroying trees, and in bad weather tramping the sod into the ground. Somebody is shirking duty.
The legislature of Kansas has cost the people over 48,000 dollars in its last session. What did the money go for? What good did it do? A senator was elected; a temperance law passed, and some appropriations made; that was all. The question is, does it pay for the people to elect a legislature every two years, and pay large sums for their maintenance? The work of the session is invariably left to the last few days, when it is rushed through without due consideration. The members often have their own personal objects to gain, and consequently neglect the interests of their constituents. Look at the State legislature with careful scrutiny, and it will be found that its work could be done in much less time and at much less expense.

And now comes the pleasing report that we are to have another fraternity in our midst; not of rough boys, but of girls. Delta Gamma is said to have east her eye toward K. S. U., and six of our fair co-eds are now worshippers at her shrine. We have received the names of the charter members, but at their earnest request desist from publishing them this week.
The Kappa chapter of I. C. Sorosis has accepted the resignations of membership tendered by Jeanette Oliver and Clara Hunsicker. Disturbances will occur in the best regulated societies, but like clouds, are soon dispelled by the sunlight of prosperity. The chapter is now united and harmonious, and will retain its position as the leading ladies' society in the University.
This week has been one of unusual excitement among the Greeks of K. S. U., and the interest communicated to all the University. The resignations of two members from Kappa Alpha Theta surprised nearly every one. The young ladies who took their departure from I. C. were generally recognized as not belonging to the active workers, and their step did not attract much attention.
It is a lamentable fact that thieves still exist in the University. We say "still exist," because on former occasions we have made complaint and through the Courier asked the proper authorities to look up the offenders, but to no effect. Overshairs, hats, umbrellas, books, etc., are taken and never brought back, which plainly shows that they were not "taken by mistake," but stolen. It is time this "branch of exercise" should be discontinued, and we again appeal to the high priests.
One of the very pleasant affairs of the winter was the surprise given Prof. Carruth by a visit from a number of his pupils last Saturday evening. The occasion of the gathering was the birthday of the Professor, and the German boys and girls who have learned so much under his lead, and have ever found him an intelligent, faithful instructor, a courteous gentleman, and a sincere friend, were very glad to celebrate with him the passing of another mile stone. The evening passed rapidly and gaily, and those present had a thoroughly good time. We must not forget the refreshments which the young Deutschland attacked with the same vigor they did their Tell and Faust. At last it was time to go, and each one as he went could truly say that there never were more delightful entertainers than Prof and Mrs. Carruth, and they wished the Professor many more such birthdays.

MOTTO. —Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kansas, as second class matter.
Cutler's Petroleum Engine Print.
The Normals had to go.
Wanted, a medical department.
The law department will now boom
The Courier tow line got in its work on the chair of pedagogy.
As usual there is but little athletic spirit in the University of Kansas.
The literary societies are still anxiously awaiting the coming of the faculty.
The regents are laboring for the best interests of the University, and are cordially seconded by faculty and student.
There is a general cry in all the eastern colleges for the abolition of required courses, compulsory attendance at chapel, and more liberty to the students.
The law department will now boom. The class beginning next year already promises well. Two or three of the ablest alumni of the K. S. U. will be therein contained.
The establishment of a chair of didactics in the University was a good move. A better man to fill such a position than Doctor Williams, could not be found in the west.
+ - + with immortality. I am no Platonist; I am nothing at all; but I would sooner be a Paulician Manichean Spinozist Gentile Phyrrhonian Zoroastrian, than one of the seventy-two villainous sects who are tearing each other to pieces for the love of the Lord and the hatred of each other."
Unless some move is taken in the next week by the officers of the Athletic Association for the redemption of debts contracted last Spring with business men in Lawrence, the Courier for the benefit of such creditors, will publish their names. For some of these debts the creditors paid cash to eastern clothing houses for uniforms, etc., ordered. The bills should and must be paid.
The board of regents have left the exact location of the natural history building in the hands of Prof. Snow—a deserved compliment. Plans are being worked up by skilled architects, to be presented and decided upon at the next meeting of the board. Bids will then be received on contract. Prof. Snow hopes to occupy the building by September, 1887.
All efforts to revive the Athletic Association for even time enough for it to designate administrators for the estate seems to have been fruitless.
Life seems to have departed from it as from the columns of the Lawrence Journal. The mere mention of the name only brings a frown to the face of the confiding business man, and a smile upon that of the student.
Last week, owing to the absence of so many students at home, the issue of the COUCHER was postponed till Monday. Two issues in one week makes it wearing on the mind of the editorial, the imagination of the local and the cheek of the "Views." Hence, our readers will please bear with any deficiencies which may be shown this week by the ingenuous theological students who manipulate the borrowed lead pencils.
Oratory seems to have become the craze in American colleges. Every college paper is filled with accounts of contests and exhibitions, and the main part of the student's desires outside of regular study is to be an orator or debater. This is a much better turn for collegiate enthusiasm to take than athletics or mere society, but still there should be moderation in this as in everything else, and too much of a good thing is too much.
One great trouble with our literary societies is that they are too large. During the past year Oread and Orophilian have had more than a hundred names on their rolls. But a small per cent. of these are really good members and willing to work. Those that have joined to do their duty and improve themselves, are held back and hindered by the great number who only attend to vote, and whose names clog the programs, and non-appearance disheartens the honest members
A discussion is being carried on in college journals as to whether literary and secret societies can exist together. Of course the conclusions arrived at are widely different, but from experience in the University of Kansas, we can say that nothing is so fatal to a literary society as to become the field of battle for rival political organizations, and too often these are the fraternities. It is an undoubted fact that three elections out of every four are won by frat combinations and the fourth only lost by trouble among the allies in regard to the spoils.
The Law Department.
There will no longer be any necessity of a Kansan going outside of the boundaries of his own State to obtain a No.1 education for the bar. The professors in charge are all men of well known ability and reputation, and under their efficient management we expect to see the law department come at once to the front. The attendance next year will undoubtedly be larger and better. By judicious advertising the college can be brought to the notice of the legal fraternity. The alumni now out at work will help us. Our own literary graduates will begin to attend our law school instead of repairing to some eastern one, where they are lost in the number of students, and surrounded by people entirely different from those among whom they must make their home. The lawyers of our State should help us to build up a law department which will be an honor to the State and a gain for the people.
The Result.
The new method of classification has been introduced, and if the catalogue appears in the shape it is likely to, there will be weeping and grashing of teeth in all the corners and corridors. The collegiate student will be as rare a species as can be found. The few who are still counted in will feel lonely and weep for those who were, but are not. The many who are removed from their ancient glory by the hard decree of fate and the faculty, will congregate in the halls and kick, and kick. The semi-religious cross-roads academies will elevate their noses and point the finger of scorn at the "children's school," and exult with great pride over their "large collegiate departments." The friends of the University who have been standing by us so well, will be shocked to think of how many fabrications they have made as to the number of collegiate students, whereby we were compelled to ask for more room. Then the University will retire into some sequestered spot and there proceed to carry out the mission of kicking itself, which has been imposed upon it.
Saturday or Monday.
Which day is wanted for our weekly holiday, Saturday or Monday? There are reasons for the proposed change; there are strong arguments against it. The faculty are nearly equally divided; the students are almost unanimously opposed to it.
There are two grounds upon which the so-called reform is asked. 1. It will do away with the studying on Sunday. 2. There will be better lessons prepared for the first day of the school week.
As to the Sunday studying, we can see how there will not be so much of that. But as to the second reason, the result would undoubtedly be worse. For if the student does not seek his present Saturday amusements on Sunday, he will do so on Monday. When will he get his lessons? Not Sunday, for that is the reason the change is wanted. Not Monday, for that will be the day of recreation for the week. Not Monday night, for then he will be tired; he will have his society to attend, or his party to be present at. And Tuesday morning if he does not pass the recitation hours in his room he will occupy the time with yawning and flunking, and wishing he had one day to rest before school began.
The musical department of the University has taken on a boom this year which is beyond all precedent. Under the efficient management of Prof. McDonald the department has become an honor to the University, and the reputation for thorough musical training is extending all over this and adjoining states. Beginning the year with one instructor, now four can scarcely keep up with the demands made upon them. The musical concerts which were at first looked on as experiments have been the greatest success. Instruction, thorough and practical, is now given in all branches of vocal and instrumental music. Prof. McDonald has labored hard to bring the department up to its standard, and can well be proud of his work.
--with immortality. I am no Platonist; I am nothing at all; but I would sooner be a Paulician Manichean Spinozist Gentile Phyrrhonian Zoroastrian, than one of the seventy-two villainous sects who are tearing each other to pieces for the love of the Lord and the hatred of each other."
Some men will never learn anything. A tramp tried to rob an editor the other day.
Isn't it strange that electricity being understood, men should make light of it?
EXCHANGE.
Persian is now taught at Cornell.
There is nothing religious about the hen, but may she not be appropriately called a lay sister?
It is stated that seventy per cent of the students at Princeton are church members. We wonder if that is one of the conditions of admission.
The authorities of the University of Wisconsin permit the Greek letter societies to hold inter-fraternity receptions in the college building.
An exchange, speaking of the Yale elective system, says: "The system has merits, but it can't make bookworms out of dunces or rowdies."
The Holcad explains the charge of a graduation fee by saying: "It keeps the faculty in spending money. They don't like to change the old way of doing things.
Cornell, Michigan and Virginia Universities and Harvard College have made chapel attendance voluntary. How long before the K. S. U. will join in on the onward march?
Twenty-one Freshmen were lately suspended in a Welch college, because a professor could not find out who placed a tin tack in his tricycle seat, business end up.
An Indiana man who was recently hanged, nodded to a minister who desired to give consolation just before the drop fell, and said, "I'll see you later." The minister is very sorry he said anything now.
A lawyer whose reputation in the community was not very good, met an old gentleman one day and said to him: "Do you know, Mr. H., that I am a direct descendent from Miles Standish?" "Is it possible," was the reply. "What a descent!"
The Seniors were taking their first practical lesson in astronomy. One imaginative youth was taking in the "queen of night" for all he was worth. Another smart specimen covered the end of the telescope with his hat. "Why, the moon is inhabited," slowly came from the observer. The hat is for sale cheap.
The Indicator, from Stevens Institute, appears for the first time on our table. It has a unique cover, which tends to make one seek farther. We did, and found a sheet of excellent typographical work, and the necessary departments for a good college journal. In addition to giving all the college news, it diverts the student's mind from college duties by means of ludicrous cartoons. We gladly place the Indicator on our exchange list.
The Hillsdale Herald is now reaping the fruits of having spoken too freely concerning the evils in their college. The "powers that be" have withdrawn from the paper their support, which, as is usual with college papers, is considerable. The Herald, however, still arrives on time and will probably continue to do so until its mission is fulfilled.
Among the letters of Byron recently sold in England, was one in which he said: "I will have nothing to do
Vassar College seems to be growing seriously alarmed at the steady decrease in pupils during the past few years, the number being only a little more than half what it was in 1875. The whole blame is attributed to the newspaper paragraphers, who they say have poked fun at Vassar students until the very name of Vassar has become a synonym for feminine foolishness. Five years more, it is thought, will complete the desolation, and Vassar's doors will be closed.
The eastern colleges which have changed from classical to scientific studies have an increase of students, and have received the greatest gain in the number of pupils. The Institute of Technology and Cornell University are particular illustrations of this tendency. The former reporting one hundred more students than last year, and the entering class of the latter being larger than that at Yale, and according to reports, equal to that of Harvard.-Ex.

The students of the University of Illinois have petitioned the faculty that "chapel attendance be made voluntary on the part of the student, as it now is on the part of the professors."
Third Musical Concert.
The musical concert has now become a fixed feature in University life. Students are getting to look back upon one with pleasure, and look forward to another with bright expectation. The third of the season, last Tuesday evening, was no exception to the rule of successes. The chapel was filled to the top of the gallery with a fashionable, educated audience. No such crowd was ever there except in time of commencement. The concert was given by Miss Josie Hutchings, soprano; Miss Mable E. Gore and Prof. McDonald, pianists. Miss Hutchings' wonderful voice and fine control of it, commanded the closest attention and unbounded applause of the audience. Miss Gore and Mr. McDonald are well known as fine pianists as ever were in Lawrence. Below is the programme of the evening:
1. —Sonata Pathetique, op. 13. ... Beethoven

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS: —There is going to be a big sensation in the U. of K. when the new catalogue comes out.
Students of three or four years standing will be perfectly justifiable in "kicking" when they are published as J. Preps. Of course the object of the classification is plain. For years students have been neglecting their Prep work; they have gone into studies without any regard to class lines; they have tried to get a high classification. The result is a large amount of work poorly done in the Senior year. Of course the Senior year should be devoted to Senior work, not to "getting grades recorded" which have been on the books for years.
The new classification will cause a good deal of lively work in getting those back studies up at once. It will in this respect do good.
But what will the people of Kansas say when they see that the Prep department (lately done away with) contains nearly three-fourths of the students?
What will ambitions parents say when "my son," who was Sophomore last year, is catalogued as Senior Prep?
I think an immense amount of dissatisfacti onwill result,not entirely among students. People will lose faith in the University; it will be used against us by every enemy we have in the State; it will be commented on by every newspaper in Kansas; it may cause a loss of students.
It is better-to be conservative; to let the matter of classification run on as before for a year or so if need be, than to bring down on the University the clamour that will inevitably arise if the annual catalogue of '84-5 goes out as it is at present.
R. E. HENRY.
EDITOR VIEWS:—I believe that all persons like to see consistency, even in small things; but suppose one day we burn a man in effigy, the next day at the close of his speech we push ourselves forward in order to shake hands with him, and then afterwards when his name is mentioned, tell how we shook him by the hand, etc., etc., is that consistency?
These students (the noble seven), after St. John's speech the other night, were among the first to push forward and congratulate him on the progress of his cause, the bright future that is open before it and its ultimate success. On their way to the ex-governor their conscience smote them, and one was heard to say, "Will he remember how we treated him?"
But go back a few months, soon after election, when some despondents were crying "St. John has split my party, what will become of us?" A few students (seven) monkey like, to imitate others, thought they must burn St. John in effigy. Accordingly, they stuffed an old pair of pants with straw, and marched upon the hill singing such songs as "John Brown marching through Georgia," etc., followed by a regiment of town boot-blacks.
This shows what a strife there is, even in the University, to be on the popular side, right or wrong. If it is popular to burn St. John in effigy, burn him; if it is popular to belong to a secret society, join one, if you can; if it is more popular to be a Republican than a Democrat, join the Republican party. This is the policy carried out in all things; we can not say by all, but by a large majority, and more so by students than persons of experience. Our seven friends need not have been abashed in the presence of the ex-governor the other evening if they had not been quite so fresh for what they thought was popular. K. A. K.
Does it Pay?
EDITOR VIEWS:—As a suffering Sophomore, permit me to lift up my voice in regard to a little matter which is bringing trouble to rack the brain of many a member of '87.
For some ten weeks we have been immersed in the gentle, soothing stream of zoology. We have mastered enough double jointed names to fill the new building, and have committed to memory a classification as long as a fraternity war. All this we have done, and have howled no howl, have kicked no kick. But now a change comes over the spirit of our dreams. The spectre of a "collection" emulates Banquo's ghost, and will not down.
Of what use will this collection be? After I have wandered over all the cow-lots, and waded all the ponds, and scratched nettles and poisoned myself, and finally broken that good temper which is wont to be mine, and finally get some bugs from a former victim, which I can increase by trading with my innocent classmates; after all this, of what good is it? To be sure, I can give my valuable collection to the scientific world, to the museum, a suffering friend or a neighboring back yard, but that is an unsatisfactory disposition to make of my term's work.
To my eye no other advantage presents itself, and after carefully revolving the subject for some time, I beg leave to submit the results of my meditation to the great religious weekly. Cyrus.
EDITOR VIEWS:With the opening of the new Spring buds, and the awakening of the long sleeping larvae, there arises the annual cry against the work in botany and zoology, particularly against the gathering of an herbarium and the making of an entomological collection.
The study of the text books in these branches, and the instruction derived from them, is certainly not invaluable to one desiring even an ordinary education; but the murmur against outside work is not without cause.
After a great deal of time has been spent in hunting the insects, it takes a great amount of time in addition, to compare them with a classified collection, in order to secure the proper naming of your specimens, from which there is certainly no good derived.
It is a fact, as is charged, that there is no benefit derived from the almost mechanical work of making a botanical collection, but there is much less reason for the entirely mechanical work of collecting and classifying bugs.
There is not a particle of knowledge of zoology displayed in such a classification, the lengthy nomenclature is forgotten and the time spent is therefore simply wasted.
The Oread society has appointed a special committee to work up programa. They have been doing good work during the past week, and promise a full program to-day.
These are facts, and when anything is required without a repay, "kicking" will be made until the objection is removed. Zoo.
The I. C. chapter here has secured the publication of their Journal, and will soon have the first number out. The following editorial staff has been chosen: Editor in chief, Mary Miller, of '84; associate editors, Mary Gilmore and Nettie Hubbard business manager, Sue Miles. The staff is a very able one, the talent and energy of the young ladies are well known and we shall soon see the I. C. Arrow an honor to the chapter and to the Sorosis.

Prof. Dyche is devoting his time to mounting specimens. His collection is assuming good proportions, and the work reflects great credit on the prof. Some of the recent specimens are a white crane, double crested cormorant, white brant, golden eyed duck, a new gull and a large number of ducks.
The Kappa Chapter of the I. C. Sorosia desires to correct any erroneous impressions which may have been created by floating reports in regard to the withdrawals of Jeannette Oliver and Clara Hunsicker from the society.

The next lecture of the course will be delivered next Tuesday, by Mr. Jas, W. Steele. This lecture should be largely attended. Mr. Steele was the editor of the Kansas Magazine, and has written several books and stories of border life. He is quite well known as a writer, his non de plume being Deane Monahan. The lecture will probably be one of the best ever given, and will well repay the trouble of climbing the hill. Let us give Mr Steele a rausing audience.
Orophilian Reception.
Orophilian will this year, as usual, extend her members of the Senior class a reception as a token of the regard in which they are held for the work they have done in the welfare of the society. It will be given at the home of Miss Clara Greenamyer, on Vermont street. Miss Clara's pleasing faculty as a hostess will insure its success.

While the new classification will reduce the number of collegiates, we can be assured that next year's catalogue will show an increase.
With one hundred and thirty-two collegiate students and nine fraternities, the University of Kansas ought to be happy. And still there's more to follow.
The University having recently received the "chair of pharmacy," "chair of pedagogy," etc., the question arises, "Is it a chairitable institution?"
The college papers of the United States are doing good work in drawing the students of different colleges together, showing the various methods of instruction, wiping out old prejudices, getting the young men better acquainted and uniting them in the bonds of a common aim and interest.
The New Building.
The board of regents will soon meet again to consider the plans to be introduced for the new building. From present indications the building will be one hundred feet long, to be in time added to, with wings of fifty feet each, the whole to face northward. The plan for exterior will approach closely to that of the present main building. The location will probably be directly west of the present building. The present engine house will be moved over the south brow of the hill. Chancellor Lip
cott has given considerable study to the future locations of buildings for the K. S. U., as per scenic advantages, which is very interesting to study. The new building is to be the main building from the north, while the present building is to be from the east; the new library building to be north of each of these, in handy proximity thereto; an observatory to the west and north of the new building; a green-house hoped for in a few years, from which the eastern campus and driveway north of the new building will be supplied an "elysium of beauty."
Class of '85.
We publish the following statistics corrected from catalogues, as an item of interest, and to show how utterly useless it is to attempt to force "regularity" upon students from so new a country, where proper preparatory schools are almost entirely lacking, and above all where so much uncertainty exists of returning to college the following year. These statistics are accurate, and worthy of a careful study by all interested in the relations of our college to the students and to the State. We give the number of students each year and the loss and gain, and from what course, as compared with the previous year. In two instances students have returned to school after an absence of more than a year, thus joining the class of '87:
Freshman year, 60; Sophomore
year, 45; loss to '84, 3; loss to '86,
3; loss from school, 20; gain new
students, 11; Junior year, 22; loss to
'84, 1; loss to '86, 4; loss from
school, 31; gain from '84, 2; gain
new students, 1; Senior year, 18;
loss to '86, 2; loss from school, 3;
rejoined class, 1; total membership
of class during 4 years, 74; constant
members, 13.
New Classification.
With all the disadvantages of the recent classification, cutting the collegiate enrollment of two hundred and upwards down to one hundred and thirty, its appearance in the college world, its effect in our own college life, is going to be good. It is a well known fact that in college life that classes come up to the Senior year, year after year with back studies extending throughout their entire course, requiring as much extra work as they have done in any year of their school life. This looseness of work is one of the greatest curses of college life.
The result of this cast-iron classification promises in a great measure to remedy this evil in the K. S. U. Back work must be looked after from the first, and kept up or classification shows it.
The practice of skipping examinations, etc., until some other time—general carelessness—must be overcome, so say the "powers." The present classification as regards classroom work done by many, undo ubtedly predisposes injustice in the eyes of anxious Pas and Mas at home, but we will guarantee next year's catalogue will indicate some wonderful work done by the Junior now a Senior prep. We really hope within ourselves, to see it productive of great good.
There was an editorial in the Lawrence Journal Sunday. The editor has not yet recovered.
Class Spirit.
We often hear students talking of eastern colleges, and wishing, like them, the University of Kansas had more "class spirit." But we can scarcely join ourselves to the chorus which longs for these boyish pranks and foolish plays that are tolerated and encouraged in some colleges. It may be great fun for the spectators, and a big card for the college, for some poor Freshman to be soused into ice water and sent to count the cracks in the ceiling with the assistance of a blanket, or to be led off on a "snipie hunt" from which he returns the next day wrapped in melancholy and his mutilated clothing. This may be pleasure of the very highest order, but then we can hardly help thinking of how the poor fellow enjoyed himself, and then the glow and glitter of that noble "class spirit" fades away.
The University of Kansas has been singularly free from this. The lack of it has been explained on several grounds, but we are inclined to think it the "fair play" feeling which a Kansan possesses, and the innate dislike of bullying and bulldozing. The refined and cultured eastern colleges may be educated to the point of appreciating "class spirit" and its manifestations, but in the west we can scarcely yet see the beauty of the system.
A Chair of Spanish.
In the selection of languages our students are generally guided by considerations of utility. The question asked is, "Will it pay?" As German is spoken more than French, and as a knowledge of it is more valuable accordingly, we find more students taking a course in German. The question may well be asked, "If you are looking at the money value of the study, why do you not put a course of Spanish in your curriculum?"
The board of regents have received several petitions requesting them to establish such a chair. It is understood that the board is in favor of the plan, yet they hold back. Why? Certainly not because the study would be of no practical use. Arizona and the Mexicos offer a broad field for our engineers, scientists and teachers. Every year we send young men to fill positions in the great southwest, who could do much better had they a speaking knowledge of the Spanish language.
The study of the Spanish language offers nearly all the literary advantages that French or German do. It would be as much of a drill as these studies, and could be pursued with as much profit, aside from the consideration of dollars and cents.
It would undoubtedly be a more popular study with our students who are not so blind as to be ignorant of its advantages. We ask that a new chair be made and a new professor appointed. Let us have a full course and not merely one year, and the work of that year put on our modern literature professors. It is asking too much of them, as they now do more work than they should.
We hope that the regents will give this matter immediate attention, as we need the study introduced into our course.

EXCHANGE.
The latest Chataqua report states that the class of '87 has 18,000 members, of which 10,000 are expected to complete the course.
A lady, playfully condemning the wearing of whiskers and moustaches, declared: "It is one of the fashions I invariably set my face against."

The Eclectic Journal of Educational gives a great deal of matter for a small sum. It is well edited in all departments, and we only wish it appeared oftener.
Any student of Amherst who has spent two hours in preparing a lesson and at the end of that time fails to get it, can be excused from recitation by reporting the fact.

The news comes that an insurrection has broken out in the State College of Kentucky. A student was expelled without an investigation it is claimed, and now sixty-three fellow students propose to go with the one dismissed.

The Catholic, published by John O'Flanagan, at Leavenworth, Kan., is on our table. It is a neat, six column, four page paper, and as it is the only Catholic paper published in the State, it certainly deserves the support of the faithful.

Something seems to be wrong at Illinois college. The University Press says: "Nothing can be accomplished without the united efforts on the part of both faculty and students.

VIEWS.
I think the Greek fraternity may be made a power for good, but when it is brought to the level of a mere political machine, it certainly is a worker of mischief. The literary society, to do its work, should have a small membership. Its members should be students desiring to improve themselves in debating and oratory, who are willing to work for society and not fraternity. Fraternity spirit should not be tolerated in the literary hall.
We cannot well bar the preps from membership to the literary society, nor can the number of members be limited, but I think that the society should say that a person who does not perform the duties of a member should fortfeit his membership. Could some such plan be adopted we might have fewer members and betttr work.
EDITOR VIEWS:—In last week's Courier was an item which spoke of the present low standard of our literary societies. It said that the large number of voters who took no interest in real literary work, tended to retard the advance of the society. That we know is true. No effort was made to explain the presence of these voters. I think that any spectator could see that the large membership and poor work is due to Greek influence. Contest elections cause the fraternity men to rush in a large number of "voters" who will support the fraternity candidate. These voters merely clog the programs, as they do not expect to do literary work when they join. The "Greeks" themselves are rarely seen in the society except on election days. They, it seems, regard the literary society as a very convenient means of securing honors for their chapter, while the real workers become disheartened when they see all the honors taken from them and given to men who have hardly deserved the name of member.
EDITOR VIEWS:—I notice by a recent ruling of the faculty, or one member, that the Seniors are required to have their orations, and possibly their thesis, all ready to hand in to professor of English by the 1st of May. If the Senior has to finish his work by that date, why do we not have commencement then and allow our graduating class to leave for their homes? The expense of the Senior is truly great, and when increased by five weeks extra board and expense, it becomes onerous. Why do we have five weeks vacation? I can think of no reason unless it be requisite that we should inflict our august presence upon the students for that period of time. And again, it may be necessary to give us those dear five weeks to learn the art of ball, etc. In all colleges time is given the Senior to prepare his oration and thesis. Here we are expected to grind our our orations and thesis while we have our regular studies. Is this fair? Can the Senior write an oration which will have to be good, and as the same time keep up his studies! A moment's thought will convince anyone it is impossible.
R. E. HENRY.
'What shall we do to be saved?' SENIOR
"Trust to Providence and hope for better days." EDITOR.
Now that examinations are near, the minds of all students are intent upon getting through. In being prepared for examination they are right. It is the manner they prepare themselves that the trouble lies. If they during the review, would make up what has been omitted or not learned, it will be found much easier to pass the ordeal of exams, final or otherwise. But filling their minds by the system of cramming, they will lose time, efforts and knowledge. They may be able to retain this forced knowledge long enough to pass a creditable examination, but of what benefit would that be to them, if in a short time after, most if not all, is forgotten. To those that come to the University to spend their time, and to gain the "honor of having attended the K. S. U.," this may be sufficient. But there are many—I may with confidence say very many—who come here for the sake of an education. These being inexperienced in study, it may profit them a little to hear from one who has tried both ways. In the hope that this may reach those for whom it was intended, I am, Erythus.
EDITOR VIEWS:—I see in your last issue a long harangue against the making of collections in the studies of natural science. The alleged Sophomore wails bitterly over the prospect of a zoological collection. But he should rather be glad that instead of confining him to dry desultory text book work, he is urged to use his own knowledge and energy, and learn something which he otherwise must be in entire ignorance of. To be a man of culture and education, to be a broad-minded man, not a narrow-guaged, one-idea plodder, he must acquire a knowledge of the living organizations about him; must examine the flowers and watch the habits of the animals. Natural science is one of the most interesting and enertaining of studies—to those who are willing to work and do not wish to confine themselves to reading other people's labor. The power of research, of comparison, and above all the faculty of observation, are aided and stimulated. It is true there is no "grinding," "boning" or "cramming," but there is an exterior of one's natural ability which amply repays time spent on the collection. There is no perfect education without a knowledge of the science of life and living. There is no knowledge of this without actual experience and observation. The "howl" is one against an imaginary evil—against what is really an essential good.
Mr. Merys, one of the men employed in the building, has lost a valuable Scotch Collie. He feels the loss very much, as the dog was a great pet as well as being of great use.
EDITOR VIEWS:—Are we going to have a Field Day, and if so, isn't it about time something was being done about it? We have had some excellent Field Days, and nothing in commencement week was more popular and entertaining. The University is larger than ever; there is no reason why we could not have better sports. If some one would take the matter in hand it could be made a great success. ATHLETIC.

Kimball were chosen as the ten contestants for the Field-Grovenor prize for best original orations. These will be given the first evening (Thursday) of commencement. The subject of each was assigned by the professor of English. The faculty contest will, as usual, occur Monday morning, with ten contesting declaimers instead of five, as heretofore.
Science Club.
The usual highly entertaining and instructive meeting was held by the club on Friday afternoon. Prof. Snow delivered a highly interesting and instructive address on the ant, showing the striking similarity existing between the habits of these insects and the habits of man. Following came a paper by H. F. Riggs, on the manufacture of paper. Prof. Tyler then favored the society with a few remarks on subjects of scientific interest. The literary program was then closed by a discussion of the journal Scientific News, and the subjects of light, and meteoric showers in particular, by W. S. Franklin. Committee on excursions reported favorably in relation to financial success of K. C. excursion, and stated their intention of working up another excursion to some point of interest in the near future. REPORTER.

NORMALS.—House called to order at the usual hour. The following exercises were well appreciated: Song, by the quartette; reading, Laura Rose; declamations, Misses Eddy and Diffenbacher; a paper read by Miss Black, on government of primary schools, gave rise to a vivacious discussion. The question, Resolved, That a nation should fear prosperity rather than adversity, gave vent to the mental pugnacity of Messrs. Rose and Nowlin vs. Miss Eddy and M. L. Field.

Field-Grovenor Oratorical Contest.
The contest which takes the place of the "Field contest" has been fixed for the Thursday night before commencement. The following orators were selected, and their subjects assigned by the professor of elocation:
W. H. Brown, "Luther's Moral Courage."
C. S. Grant
and Thanksgiving.
Hattie Haskell, "National Traits as Seen in the Character of Wilkins Micawber."
R. S. Horton, "Siege of Vicksburg."
H. F. Graham, "The Obligation of Citizenship."
Cora Kimball, "Trouvere and Troubadour."
W. T. Little, "England and Ireland.
H. A. McLean, "Portia."
J. D, McLaren, "Cardinal Richieu'le's Ambition.
W. L. Burney will visit A. L. Sunday.
Next. Tuesday evening Hon. Noble L. Prentiss will deliver the seventh lecture of the University course upon the subject of "The Temptations of Smith." Not only should every student be in attendance, but it would well pay the citizens of Lawrence to climb the hill. We clip the following from the Manhattan Industrialist;
Probably the largest audience that has assembled for many years in Manhattan to hear a lecture, greeted Mr. Prentiss in the College chapel last evening. Of the lecture itself, we cannot now speak as we could wish. It is enough to say that it was full of the wit, humor and keen analysis which has made Prentss' name a household word in Kansas. The lecture received the closest attention, apparently, from every one of the great audience, and every hit was heartily applauded. A good many Kansas communities will wish to hear Prentiss' resume of "The Temptations of Smith."

Last Tuesday evening James W. Steele delivered the sixth lecture of the course to a small audience. His oration was finely written, but his voice was hardly strong enough for the hall. He described the manners and customs of the Esquimaux, and contrasted them with ours. He spoke strongly and at some length against any further Arctic explorations. The next lecture will be delivered by Noble Prentiss next Tuesday evening.
The habit of some of the students not to bring the young ladies to society is certainly beyond excuse. Pluck up courage boys!—Collegiate. It is wonderful how opposite tendencies are in different students. With our boys there is an excess of courage on that line.—Baldwin Index. We would suggest that it is not the "tendencies in different students," but the fact that at some colleges the societies meet in the afternoon, and at others in the evening.

Students matrimonially inclined are taking shares in the Lawrence Building Association.
By the new arrangement of the electric bells, the first bell is rung five minutes before the hour; and a second at the time for dismissal.
Just eleven weeks of the college course are devoted to the study of Political Economy, and whole sessions of work are required upon branches which are neither useful nor ornamental.
The Inter-state oratorical contest will be held at Columbus, Ohio, May 7th. By that time we hope to screw our enthusiasm to the sticking place, and take off our hat for the representative from Kansas. But！！！
Next Tuesday evening one of the most popular speakers and one of the best friends of the University will lecture in the chapel. Noble Prentiss certainly will always receive an enthusiastic welcome from a University audience.
Died, at its home, in the midst of loving friends, the K. S. U. Athletic Association. The patient was young, but had already endearled itself to many—especially Lawrence merchants—who regard its untimely departure from this world with sorrow and regret.
The "Views" department this week is given over to a discussion of the effect of secret societies on college politics. The ground is well covered, and with the exception of a few mistakes as to facts, the arguments on both sides are well stated.
The gong which for years has announced to the student that tempus fugit is now numbered among the things that were but are not. The alleged silver tone which has broken up so many a tete-a-tete, and has brought relief to so many an anxious student, will resound no more in the classic halls on Mt. Oread. Electricity takes the place of muscle and elbow grease.
Are we going to have a Field Day? This question has been ringing in our ears for the last two weeks.
Everyone is enthusiastic over the matter, and ready to do all he can if some one will only start the ball rolling.
The University in the Future.
Two years ago Dr. Lippincott, in his inaugural address, presented a picture of the University as he hoped to see it. Already a great advance has been made toward the consummation of the ideas he then expressed. The chemical laboratory, one of the largest and best in the United States, has been completed and occupied. Next year the natural history building will be erected, and will be a great addition to he campus. We already need an observatory and a library building. From the increasing influence of the University and the wisdom of the men who govern our State, we may expect to see these necessities given us. All our departments are developing rapidly and symmetrically. The University of Kansas is no longer an infant institution. Each year sees her name more honored, her advancement dearer to the people. Kansans are abandoning the idea of going to eastern colleges for an education, and find in their own State an institution able to give them instruction and culture.
The future before us is bright. The prospect it offers can be realized. For this object the students must do their part. To them the authorities will point for a proof of success and evidence of a good use of their trust. We must always bear this in mind, in our actions, not only in the quiet retreats of academic life, but in all the experiences of subsequent years. The University is known by its students. Let us, as students, strive for its best interests; do our duty while here, and talk, work and fight for it when away, ever making the advancement and promotion of the University of Kansas a glory and great aim.
We now have a lawn tennis club well to be proud of. They could give an exhibition, a base ball game could easily be gotten up, the various other contests we had two years ago could be repeated, and we think a very pleasant day would be spent during commencement week.
If some one will call a meeting of the students the whole thing could be settled with very little trouble.
Will some one do it?
Here we are without an annual, without a Field, Day probably, and without anything that will make our commencement enjoyable.
Why can't the fraternities take the matter in hand? Of course such a thing cannot be gotten up without some expense, but if a large number take hold of it the cost would be comparatively light individually.
Why can't we get up a University ball?
The fraternities of the University of Wisconsin recently gave an interfraternity ball and it was a grand success.
The Junior class recently attempted the affair and the result was the expense bill on a small number.
The University lecture course has been a greater success this Spring than ever before.
Shall we be behind our sister institution?
A Necessity.
The Seniors have just finished Political Economy; or rather, the universal expression of the class is that they have just begun it. Throwing out the few days necessarily devoted to review, just eleven weeks are granted this most important of studies. Fifty-five hours lecture room work for a branch of investigation which touches the daily lives of each citizen more closely than any other! And no other or further provision for Sociology with all its manifold questions, in which the American world is now taking the deepest interest! This is certainly not as it should be.
The Lawrence Journal apparently is venturing upon the unique experiment of running a daily paper without any editorial or telegraphic departments.—Topeka Journal.
The present class has only sketcheon briefly these topics: Sources and Kinds of Resources; Value and Exchange; Production; Labor; Wages; Capital; Land and its Tenure; Mediums of Exchange; Credit; Taxation. There has been no delay; indeed, the class has often felt that even in these it was pushed too rapidly. The only topics that have been dwelt on in any detail are, Money (chiefly because of our present mixed currency and the pressing danger of the cheap silver flood), and Taxation (in local matters only). Yet that must be very unsatisfactory work which ignores (of necessity) such topics as Co-operation, Organization of Labor, Banks and Banking, Commercial Crises, the American Tariff System, the Relations of Capital and Labor, the Future of Workingmen, the Right of Property in Land, Corporations and State Control, Statistics, the Distribution of Population, Pauperism and Crime. The University is not doing its work well when all these are unnoticed—when there is no opportunity whatever for their discussion.
There should be a re-division of the chair; History should be a special department, and Political Science and Sociology should be pushed well to the front.
Some people throughout the State have the idea that the students of the University are the weakest, puniest and laziest set of fellows that can be found anywhere. We wonder how and where they got such and impression. Why, the very fact of our having no gymnasium is enough to give them that idea.
For some time past there has been the talk of partly filling up the hollow in the north end of the campus and making a base ball ground of it. Surely no better use could be made of the place. There it stands, a natural amphitheater, capable of accommodating thousands, and the cost of fixing it up would not exceed three hundred dollars at the most.
Patronize those who patronize you.
It would be good practice for the engineering boys to find out just how much it would cost, and afterward show the figures to the regents.
The spot will never be used for anything else, and we ought either have that or a gymnasium or both. And by a gymnasium we do not mean a room in the cellar filled with sawdust, etc., where students can go and smoke and see how much apparatus they can break in an hour, but a well lighted and well ventilated room with the necessary fixtures, which is kept clean and has one one to watch it. Undoubtedly some step must be taken in this line to get the impression off of some people's minds that we are a set of "book worms," who learn to do nothing but read Latin and work at logarythms.

NOTES.
Students, Read!
At last Lawrence offers a resort which
students can patronize. An opera house
is placed in good condition and promises
good attractions at fair, reasonable prices.
Mrs. McCollough, of whose business enterprise every student in K. S. U. has heard, has fitted up the ground floor of her south Massachusetts street block with a seating capacity of 800, at which but the better class of attractions will be booked, with rates of but 25 and 35 cents. This was a long needed want in Lawrence, and he opening of this week—largely crowded houses every night—attests its promising success. It is something students especially needed. You can afford to patronize it. Friday and Saturday evenings could not be better devoted. Go out to night and to-morrow night.
We have not said much about these seemingly useless articles, until compelled to by the weather. But as one extreme follows another, I suppose we may be pardoned if we say that the parasol and fan season is now here, and that at Innes Compulsory sale is the place to get them cheap.
Buy your gant's furnishing goods at Bromelsick's.
Go to Winchell's for your cigars.

Ladies, wait for the Misses Mugler's millinery opening next week.
We see by several of our exchanges that boxing is becoming a favorite exercise among college girls. Surely it is good, vigorous exercise, and if several of the prominent lady students would introduce it, the slight prejudice against it would soon pass away.
Increased demand for dry goods. Innes! Compulsory prices have created a demand for goods. People will buy goods if they are cheap.
There promises to be a great many social gatherings this Spring, at which refreshments will be served. Harris is the man to attend to your wants. He will again this year serve the alumni association in its annual banquet. He knows how to get up a good "feed" at reasonable prices.
Only a few weeks ago an idea was current in our exchanges saying that one-fourth of the students of the German Universities were Americans. The Baldwin Index has succeeded in reducing this number to one-tenth. If the good work will continue, the estimate will probably be as low as the actual number by commencement.
Harris' ice cream season has opened.
We respectfully call attention to the inducements offered by Trade Palace, so well set forth on another page.
Buy the Burt shoe at Menger's.
Would you be wise you would patronize Harris for all refreshments, fruits, nuts, lemonade, soda, creams, ices, etc. He carries only the best.

Our advice to customers is to buy now. One thing is certain, and that is that goods will never be cheaper in our day. The indications are good for higher prices.

Prof. Spring's History of Kansas
All students, both ladies and gentlemen, who desire to earn as much money during the summer as possible, should remember that this is not a subscription book, and will not be sold as such. All we propose to do is to take as many orders during the summer for the book, in each vicinity, using a little order book, which will show the size, table of contents, a large map of Kansas as it then was, and a few pages showing style of print. Only one style of binding and one price—$1.25. Students can take from 10 to 20 orders per day. Many of the best students and old canvassers who would not travel for a subscription book, have secured territory and believe with the author's reputation and the low price, it will have an immense sale. If you want to assist in the good work, call on
Joshua Whitcomb at Mrs. McCullough's Opera House to-night. Admission only 25 cents.
Go to Harris'.
E. F. CALDWELL.
Our Compulsory sale stamped what little trade some of our competitors were having, to us. Notice how they tried to break the force of our compulsory sale by getting up a sale to sound or rhyme like mine. But the veil is too gauzy. It did not work. Customers and friends, don't be deceived. I am the only compulsory man in Lawrence, and my name is Geo. Innes.
The superiority of a religious education over that acquired at the "Infidel asylum" is well illustrated by the following anecdote from the Baldwin Index:

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS: -In taking a cursory view of the opponents of college secret societies and their arguments advanced, we are struck by the prominence of certain characteristics.
If we inquire into the history of the opponent, we find in nine cases out of ten that he was never invited to join a fraternity. Having seen the great advantage to be derived from being a member of a college secret society, and being debarred from enjoying the benefits arising therefrom, it is very natural that he should feel slighted or wronged. This feeling soon gives place to a hatred, which bursts forth in a tirade of abuse against the coveted goal. In his ignorance, pure and simple, we see him clutching at every straw, and magnifying every mole hill into a mountain. We are told that the secret societies are training their members in the arts of the politicians, and have caused the formation of cliques and intrigues for the purpose of exercising influence in college politics, to obtain the election of members to positions of honor and trust, simply because the candidates are members, and not because of their merit. These are serious charges, and demand more than a mere denial. The fraternities certainly have not caused the formation of cliques in colleges as such, for they existed long before the system was dreamed of. The chapter consists usually of such a small number of men that it would be impossible for them to act as cliques, for such a contest would be as varied as one between individuals. In the K. S. U. less than four per cent of the students belong to any one fraternity. Then the only way possible for them to exercise the great influence attributed to them would be for several of the societies to combine for the attainment of a single purpose, and this has sometimes been done. In a school like the K. S. U., where less than one-fourth of all the students belong to secret societies, and they divided among nine different ones, the difficulty of attaining such a combination, and its utter inefficiency if attained, is clearly seen. The societies themselves disapprove of any such combination. Many of them legislate against the practice, and the general sentiment prevalent among farternity men that interference in college politics as fraternities is a mistake. It is true that usually fraternity men are elected to college office, but that is certainly because they generally comprise the most prominent and deserving students. Many teach their members that their duties to each organization in college life must be determined by their relation to such organization alone, and not by fraternity associations. They are enjoined to act uprightly, choose wisely, and if their brother is the subject of their choice, to make his worth their criterion rather than his relationship. We sometimes see fraternities voting solidly, but this is apt to be the case with students so closely associated and similar in tastes and
EDITOR VIEWS:—In speaking upon the subject of college fraternities, we are aware that we have no easy task in opposing the class who hold that allegiance to their individual fraternity is paramount to everything else, whether it be the dictates of conscience, the ties of friendship,the demands of superiors or the obligation of relationship.
When we look at a body of students gathered together for the purpose of electing to some position of honor or trust the best fitted and most worthy of their number, what do we see? Is it an election, calm and serene, where each one casts his ballot for the person whom he honestly and conscientiously believes to be the most worthy, the most deserving of the position? Far from it. We find a number of students, cliques as it were, upon whose breasts glitter in all their purity, mystic badges—the emblem of their fraternity; we find this faction blindly following a leader, who has under the tutorship of former masters, become skilled in the arts of the politician; we see them as a unit, cast their ballot for a man, who, if influential friends or relations had not secured his election to a college fraternity, would have been entirely unknown. Do they stop to consider the ability of the candidate? Not for a minute. If when they count the glistening badges and their personal friends; when they add that portion of the barb element whose votes they control; if after summing up all their strength they find they have not a sufficient number of votes to elect, what do they do? Their leader goes to the leader of one of their rivals and proposes a combination. Mutual concessions are made, and an agreement is entered into whereby the leader pledges the votes and outside support of his brethren to a scheme of which they most likely have never heard.
Now it may be argued that in a free country, where the principles of personal liberty and equality are so thoroughly inculcated into the human soul; it may be argued that no man will allow another to be his dictator. This is all right in theory, but the fact remains that the leader in the fraternity has made these pledges, and has seen that they were fulfilled. How was this result brought about? If we look at the barbarian element do we find a one man power? Do we even find organized or effectual resistance to the decrees of fraternities, which bear the imprint of time? Then we must look within the fraternity for the cause of this servility. It is all summed up in the one all embracing, all controlling word—allegiance. Each member is bound by a cast iron oath to do everything in his power to further the plans and projects of his fraternity.
western town. To do this would require a volume. If we but succeed in causing the student to pause and look around him, we will have fulfilled our mission TRUTH.
EDITOR VIEWS:——Since No. 1, Vol.
1, of the Courier first appeared there
have been unnumbered "howls" on
the subject of fraternities.
Not only do we find as a political factor the influence and power of the college fraternity manifesting itself in every form among the students, but it extends out beyond its alleged field of action. We see offices and positions of honor and profit, under the control of the regents, pass from brother to brother in the fraternity, until we instinctively ask if they are hereditary.
In the short space allotted to us, we are only able to point out an outward manifestation of the fraternity system. We can not speak of their moral influence. We can not describe the wine banquets, the carousals, the scenes within that den of vice—the chapter hall—which so much remind us of a gambler's den in a
It has been said that fraternity influence on the whole was evil. I would like to know if this is so. A fraternity is supposed to be a brotherhood, a union of persons of congenial tastes. It would form between its members a stronger and more lasting friendship than would otherwise be possible; it would stimulate their latent energy, rouse their ambition and lead them to heights which alone they could not attain; it would help make of them men of broad culture, noble, generous and true, loyal to God and their fellow men. There is no doubt that at the formative period of a young man's character it is made broad and symmetrical by good associations. He loses his crochety ways and learns to be generous and self-sacrificeing; in other words, he is polished by friction, and this friction is to be found in the chapter.
Fraternity influence should restrain the student who is inclined to become wild, by associating him with steadier men; it should teach the book-worm that there are many things in the world more worthy of study than dry writings in dusty books
The first of these two may be as good heartud as the last, but either, if left alone, would grow up with a one-sided character. In the fraternity each profits by the good qualities of the other.
My ideal fraternity may never exist. Perhaps it is better that it should not. R.E. HENRY.
I have heard the argument advanced that men in the same frat become too clanish. May I not ask why should they not be "clannish.?" Would not the association which would come from fraternity intercourse be much closer than that which exists among classmates? Are they not brothers, and as brothers should they not be much together? I do not mean by this to approve of that spirit which says to all outside of the pale of the fraternity, "I am better than thou," but I do think that a certain amount of the so-called "clannishness" is necessary.
The chapters in the U. of K. do not entirely approach my ideal. They are in a certain sense mere political machines. Each is unwilling to recognize the worth of its rivals. They are not very particular as to their standard of membership; they are subject to petty jealousies and strife; they might be improved in many particulars; yet I see no reason for the cry: "It is more honorable to be a barbarian than a frat;" as it either comes from one who would not join or one who could not. In the first case there might be no reason for remaining a barb; in the second, I would say, "sour grapes."
Reads very musically indeed.
There will be a good program in Oread to-day, and all members should be there.
