The Phi Gamms will give a "shine cookey" to the I. Cs to-morrow evening.
"Buds, bugs, busted and blood;" these are the battle cries of the various classes.
Prof. Snow says that the present botany class is the handsomest one he has ever had.

The serenaders met with bad luck last Saturday. Their hack broke down out in west Lawrence, and they were compelled to wend their weary way home on foot.
The many friends of Mrs. Prof. J. H. Canfield will be pleased to learn that after passing a rigid examination in original work, she has been admitted to membership in the New York City Artist League, a much coveted position among the artists of that city. She is also working half of each day in the private studio of the well known painter, Smilie.
The boiler houses are to be moved south of the chemistry building, to make room for the natural history building.

Prof. Tyler has just finished catalogueing the department of political economy in the library, and has begun on theology.
The serenaders were abroad in the land Saturday evening. Several ladies wish to acknowledge thanks through the Courier.
The next lecture will be delivered a week from next Tuesday by Prof. Frank O. Marvin, on the "Genesis of American Railroads."
The game of ball which was postponed last Saturday will be played tomorrow. The club is in fine trim, and a good game may be expected.
The Junior laws are numbered with the things that were but are not. They wound up business and left for their homes Wednesday.
Orophilian reception to-night at the home of Miss Lillian Bell, on Louisiana street, promises to be a most happy affair. Every member of the society is expected to be present, formality to be entirely banished. It is the showing of the good will of the society to its retiring Seniors for the good work they have done for it. Any member not going out merely shrinks his or her part of what should be and is a pleasant duty.
Taking into consideration the fact that we get no religious training at all at the K. S. U., would it not be a good idea to establish an optional for the critical study of the Bible? Some of our students graduate without knowing which is placed first in the Bible, Psalms or Deuteronomy. If such an optional were established, which while perfectly free from all sectarian views and doctrines, would give the student an understanding of the Bible and its history, we think it would be well patronized.
OREAD. -Last Friday afternoon a rather small but enthusiastic audience greeted the opening of the session. The following officers were installed: President, W. H. Carruth; vice president, Josie Cook; secretary, Ella Ropes. The literary program was one of the best of the year. The productions all evinced great care and thorough preparation. It was as follows: Declamations, Laura Lyons, Nettie Brown, Sadie Emery, Helen Sutliff; essay, Edith Manley; orations, G. W. Harrington, W. Y. Morgan. Debate on the question. That war expenses should be paid by direct taxes instead of by means of loans. Affirmative, Gilmore and Cruise; negative, Dunn and Miss Manley. The boom inaugurated last Friday, if kept up, will soon place Oread in her old prominent position. A special committee now has charge of the program, and insure a good one for to-day. The musical director also promises to have her department well filled.
Frank Talbott, Junior law, returned to his Atchison home Wednesday, not to return. During his stay here Mr. Talbott has made an excellent reputation and many friends.
Bion Hutchings, not long since, sent Prof. Dyche a fine pelican from Kingman, which the Prof. has handsomely mounted. It can be seen in the zoological laboratory.
The Kappa Alpha Thetas received the Phi Psis at the residence of Miss Hattie Haskell last Friday evening. A most enjoyable evening was spent in dancing, conversation, card playing, etc. The occasion will be long remembered by those present.
Stocks-Loveland.
Wednesday, April 29th, at Independence, Kan., two of the University's fairest children were made one. At the home of the bride's mother, F. A. Stocks, of '84, and Miss Sallie Loveland, of '86, were united in marriage. A large number of friends were present at the ceremony, including many college friends. W. C. Spangler, of '83, and Miss Mabel Wemple of '86, acted as groomsman and bridesmaid. After a reception in the evening Mr. and Mrs. Stocks left on their bridal tour through the East, making the first stop at Chicago, and then on to New York. They will return to their Kansas home and friends in about three weeks. The Courier extends its heartiest congratulations and best wishes.

We are in receipt of a letter from a friend who called upon Postmaster General Vilas in person, and presented Miss Mary Sullivan's candidacy for the postmistresship at this place. He informs us that the only obstacle in the way of Miss Mary's triumphant and unopposed success was her age. No person is eligible to postmastorship under twenty-one years of age. Miss Mary is truly deserving of congratulation upon her flattering chances, and in tendering this, her many friends hope for time's hand to speedily remove the only impediment in the way of her success.

A war between Russia and England may bring cold weather to those countries, but will clothe the countenance of the editor with smiles, and his paper with advertisements.

Some students seem to complain of the lack of an "Annual." On the contrary, we see no advantage arising from such a publication, to college or students. They are usually weary collections of stale jokes and frat advertisements.
There is now no medical college in the State of Kansas. Topeka physicians are talking up one for that city. If it is established there, the University will wait a long time before there will be need for another, and a department which could add much prestige at little cost, will be impossible.
When the index to the library, which is now being gotten up, is completed, it will enable any one knowing a subject, its name or its author, to readily find all books in the same line, and all chapters upon the subject in other books. This will be an immense aid to the systematic reader and the special student.
During this year the Friday morning roll call has been little more than a joke, and is so regarded. No serious effect is heard of if one is not present at those interesting entertainments of undergraduate eloquence and professorial advice. We hardly see the advantage resulting from a continuance of the Friday morning program, and at any rate do not understand why a roll call is needed outside of the class room.

The very late Spring has been hard on our athletically inclined youths. As usual, there is splendid material among the students, and a little energy and practice will give us a good base ball club. But beyond this there seems to be no effort toward doing anything in the athletic line. The boomlet of last year, which died a booming, is a constant reminder that K. S. U. has as yet failed to distinguish itself in any athletic way except jumping debts. For further particulars see Lawrence merchants.
Spring Vacation.
In nearly every college calendar is found a Spring vacation of at least a week. The advantages resulting therefrom are numerous and evident. It is a long pull from December to June. The student is wearied by the time the warm weather arrives and adds discomfort. The malady of Spring fever is prevalent. Nearly every one takes a short trip home or a visit to friends. From the middle of the second session to commencement there is a continual dropping out of classes for a little run home, and a consequent lack of interest in studies. It would be much better to give every one this needed vacation at the same time. Then all would return with fresh energy and quickened vigor. The rest would not be a detriment to classes, but a positive gain from the better work done after a weeks recreation.
Resignation.
Just one year since the Correction did not consolidate.
The Greek department, under the able administration of Prof. Stephens, has been an honor and glory of our University.
According to the announcements in the morning paper, Miss Stephens has been requested by the board of regents to resign the Greek chair. The announcement will prove a great disappointment not only to the classical students, but to all who enjoy Miss Stephen's acquaintance. Miss Stephens has filled the Greek chair so satisfactorily to all the students of her department, that the question of the cause of the requested resignation will at once be raised. What valid reason is there that she should leave the Greek chair? Is it because of an alleged incompetency? There is not a single member of any of her classes, nor never has been, who doubts the competency of Miss Stephens to teach Greek.
But this can not be the reason. There is some covert reason for the action of the board. It would not be surprising that it was the result of some personal enmity or spite.
The action of the board will not only be wondered at, but it will cause sore disappointment to many of the classical students. The explanation of the board's action will have to be clear and explicit, in order to satisfy them. If such an explanation is not forthcoming the new board of regents will start out with an inauspicious and unpunctual beginning.
The Debate.
A great orator, on being asked the requisitions of oratory, replied: There are three real necessaries, viz.: 1, delivery; 2, delivery; 3, delivery. The truth is self evident that a man who can tell what he knows has a vast advantage over the one who cannot. The world judges a man by what he does. He must be able to impress it with the fact that he knows something worth learning before he can gain an audience or a follower. A man who has a collegiate education is supposed to be superior in information and knowledge to those who have not had this advantage. But if he cannot express his thoughts; if he cannot form his ideas into tangible shape, a very important element of his education has been neglected.
In our curriculum there is no means to attain this skill. But we have literary societies which offer special advantages. In these societies all the exercises are useful and excellent, but the preeminent one is the debate. A ready debater has an immense advantage over a slower though perhaps more learned opponent. The debate should be gotten up with the greatest care, not in memorizing sentences, but in collecting facts upon which the speaker may build his arguments. It should never be postponed on account of non-preparation, for there is scarcely any better exercise than extemporaneous speaking. It should never be postponed for an election, because by that means a superior object is lost sight of in the mere seeking means to attain it.
In conversation with Mr. Leis this week we find we did not give Chancellor Lippincott appropriate credit for what he had to do with the establishing of the chair of pharmacy in the K. S. U. during the recent session of the legislature. We find our clause at that time as to the chancellor's work, and many things we probably know not of, were very appropriately added.
EXCHANGE.
English colleges have no students' papers.
An appropriation of $80,000 has been made to establish a University in Arizona.
A woman is taking the military course at Cornell. The army will no doubt soon be the sphere of woman's action.
The Ohio Wesleyan is building a president's mansion. Most colleges furnish the president a residence, and the K. S. U. should see to this after we get the gymnasium and observatory.
The faculty at Ohio Wesleyan have kindly consented to relieve such of the Seniors as do not have to speak, from preparing that laborious relic of the past which no one ever reads—the graduating thesis.
We notice in several of our exchanges that enterprising members of the faculty are endeavoring to find the average and range of the student's expenses. This is a very commendable work, and while very few if any of the students keep a memorandum of their expenses, yet nearly all can tell their gross receipts for the year, and we think they would very willingly help in the procuring of accurate statistics. Who will undertake this economic problem at the K. S. U.?
Newspapers of To-day.
Of some of the things learned in a college course that are not down in the catalogue, the Campus gives the following: "That many a student comes with habits of economy largely developed, but leaves with an astonishing propensity for disbursing the paternal revenue. Some come full of ambition for mastering things, and put in from six to eight hours of hard study every day, but before two years have passed they learn the art of taking the world easy, and get along with from three to five hours study. They come with practical ideas of life, fresh from the work of the world; they go back into it with theoretical notions of things which are totally destroyed within a year. Some come directly from the farm and are as bashful and awkward as possible, but when they get to be Juniors, look like New York dudes on a holiday. Some come from homes surrounded with elegance and refinement, but learn to respect the ability and esteem the friendship of the student who works his way."
People generally, and even those who may be termed steady readers and close observers, have but a faint conception of the magnitude and influence the press of this country has attained. From a careful examination of the advance pages of the 1885 edition of the American Newspaper Directory, issued May 1st, by Geo P. Rowell & Co., of New York, it appears that there are 14,147 newspapers and periodicals published in the United States and Canada; of these the United States has 12,973, an average of one paper for every 3,867 persons. In 1884 the total number of newspapers was less by 823 than at present, and while the gain this year is not so marked as in previous years, it is still considerable. Kansas shows the greatest increase.
The Senior's brow was sad with care, and long dark lines lay furrowed there; His looks uncombined in tumult lay, and dire confusion ruled the day. I asked him why such sounoural sighs, Why those sunken restless eyes; In every tears with grief oppressed, "My thesis," he said, and sank to rest.

Last night the members of the various Senior classes gathered at the residence of Dr. Lippincott for the customary reception. The faculty and their wives received them in a pleasant way, and soon all were busily engaged in conversation, talking over the campaigns through which they had struggled for four years. The evening passed quickly and pleasantly, and we must not fail to mention that the Seniors grappled the subject of supper in a way which gave evidence of the great advantages of a collegiate education. After another hour of social chat the company departed, with many expressions to Dr. and Mrs. Lippincott, assuring them that last night's reception would ever be a pleasant memory of college life.

The Temptations of Smith.
University hall held a large and cultivated audience Tuesday night, who had assembled to meet an old friend with a new subject, Hon. Noble L. Prentis. The lecture was in Prentis' peculiarly happy vein, abounding in pithy observations and exquisite humor. His hearers were kept in constant good humor, and frequently were convulsed with laughter at some apt illustration or pointed comment. The temptations of Smith are those of the ordinary young man. At the age of eighteen he is a statesman, and desires a voice in the affairs of the nation. The law prevents him, and here arises the temptation "to go back on antiquity." Smith now becomes a critical philosopher. His eagle eye sees through superstition and ignorance. Names which have been honored for centuries are ruthlessly cast down. George Washington ought to have saved his country in better style. Columbus did not discover America. Smith walks forty miles to hear Ingersol, and is convinced that Moses made mistakes. But in later years he learns better.
Smith has read of "women, wine and song," and tries the convivial bowl. His experiment is not a brilliant success, and he looks with suspicion on poetical descriptions in the future. There is no sparkling wit in whisky made from corn which should have been fed to the hogs. Smith discovers that the world is bad, is going wrong, and sets himself to put it right. He takes for his motto, "the butcher shop must go," and "boiled cabbage" as his pass word. After a vain attempt to reform the world he relapses to beefsteak, and smiles a charitable smile over his "reforms."
Tired of the confusion of common things in this world, Smith goes to Boston. He is seized with an irresistible contempt for equality, freedom and other abstractions. He is an "Independent," and to show his unswerving devotion to principle and not to party, he organizes an Independent party of his own, and proceeds to cast his freeman's right in the place where it will do the least good. Such is Smith as he proceeds to reform the political world.
These are not all the temptations which beset the young men of the period, but out of these useful conclusions can be drawn. The young man who favors something because his father or mother do not, is a fool and will sometime find it out. There is not a gill of wit or wisdom in an ocean of whisky. Reforms are slow. The great mass of the people are more frequently right than the few. Our governmest is with the people, and not in the hands of a few I-amholier-than-thou reformers.
Such is the tale of the Temptations of Smith, as told by Prentis. His audience were pleased and delighted, and the ideas which he gathered up and presented so forcibly sank deep into the hearts of the hearers.
Two new prizes will be offered this year for student competition. Hon. B. W. Woodward offers fifteen dollars for the best French essay; Hon. Theo, Poehler, fifteen dollars for the best German essay. These essays are not to be more than one thousand words; subjects to be announced.
VIEWS.
Field Day.
EDITOR VIEWS.—The time of year is now approaching in which the student athletically inclined rejoices. The question now arises, "Are we going to have a Field Day?"
Last year it was sadly neglected, and ought we not, if for no other reason than to keep up the interest of the college in this line, to have one of which we may be justly proud?
If we are going to have a Field Day it is time something definite was being done toward organizing, and also to give those who desire, time to train for it.
We have enough athletics in the University to make a very interesting occasion of it, but what we need is some one to start the move.
A few dried bones of the athletic association still exist, and why not resuscitate these and organize at once. Unless some active step is soon taken in this direction, it will be too late and the Field Day of 1885 will pass as did its predecessor in 1884.
EDITOR VIEWS: — Allow me to congratulate you upon your undisputed sound judgment pronounced upon the article in last week's issue discussing the fraternity question, viz: "Reads very musically indeed." They sounded extremely mellifluous, To tell the truth, "The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords." (Psalms lv, 12). R. E. H. seems to be very confident that he, together with his society brothers and sisters, represent the standard in morality, generosity, self sacrifice, in fact, all that leads on to be "good and noble, loyal to God and fellow men."
There is a certain fragrance proceeding from the secret society circle which neither the common sense nor the religion of human nature in its purity can tolerate. You may think that I am becoming extremely religious, but when I see students who in their first days at the University were active members in the Y. M. C. A.; who were endeavoring to educate the higher possibilities of man, and train themselves in such paths of influence that they might leave the world a little better for having lived in it, but who, having been
caught by the tempting bait so cleverly concealing the fatal hook, and who are now accustomed to spend their costly time at the operas, the skating rink, the ball room and even at the billiard halls, I am sorely reminded that Old Adam is still our guest.
It seems strange to me why the gentleman does not establish a school for the discipline of character, if he has such marvelous faith in his disciplinarian abilities. His principal argument against the assaults made upon the college fraternities by the barbs, seems to be that the arguments come from those who have never been invited to join a society, rarely from one who would not join. I should like to inform the gentleman that for my part I have been "spiked" more than once; that the baited hook has been offered, but that I was content to take the bait and leave the hook; and should he desire, I can point out to him several students in our University who are being drawn to dry land by a few feet of fishing tackle, and who wish they had never seen either bait or hook, and who would give their very name if they were free to swim the boundless deep.
The gentleman suggests that "there are many things in this world more worthy of study than dry writings in dusty books," but he forgot to enumerate. I would like to ask the gentleman candidly, whether those who have created the greatest reforms; those who have done the most for science and the world in general, obtained their ability through the influence of a secret society, or by means of the so-called dry reading in dusty books! Is it not the latter coupled together with a little sanctified common sense? Would not your ambition tempt you to hold one of those positions of honor which lead to renown throughout posterity, if offered to you? But such characters never come without working for them. Did you ever know of such influential power being gained by the assistance of a secret society? I will answer for you. No! A secret society never yet made a man anything and it never will; mark what I say. I believe if a person has the ability to make the most of his circumstances, that a secret society is simply a heavy, cumbersome armour which is always in his way, and its very weight finally overcomes the very one who ought to seek shelter beneath it, and that it is only fitted for those who are not self-reliant.
BARB NO.2.
EDITOR VIEWS:-I would take the liberty of your columns to inquire why we do not have some daily papers in the University library. It would be a great convenience for the students who have a vacant hour to be able to utilize it in keeping up with the record of current events. I believe there are one or two dailies which ought to reach the library, but as they never get to the files until several days old, they are of but little service. NEWS.
Now that it is definitely settled that See. Bayard will be here in June, some arrangements should be made to accommodate the crowd that will undoubtedly be here. How would it do to throw a railing across the hall, and admit no children unless accompanied by their parents? Let some R. E. Henry answer in the "Views."

The class in railroad field work, under Prof. Marvin, have just completed the preliminary survey of Mt. Oread railroad, and are now figuring on the cost of the undertaking. It begins at the north end of the building and leads directly west, so the natural history student can ride out for his specimens in the future, if the plans are successfully carried out.
The Senior laws have adopted a class hat. It is a low crowned, broad brimmed straw. By degrees K. S. U. is following in the footsteps of other colleges, such as Baker.
Orophilian Reception.
Orophilian, in accordance with her custom, tendered her Seniors a hearty reception last Friday evening. The party gathered about eight o'clock at the beautiful new home of Miss Lillian Bell, where they were welcomed by the hostess. After pleasant chatting was indulged in for a time, all gave themselves up to games and martiment. This continued till half past ten, when refreshments were served by three of Orophilian's fair ones, assisted by their company, all fully equipped in white aprons and caps ornamented with tassels, from each of which hung a beautiful small orange. The refreshments, served by such waiters, awakened a new passion for pleasure, and when the tables were cleared away games and dancing were in order till twelve o'clock, when Miss Lillian Bell favored the company with a piano solo. Miss Bell's musical talent is well known, and needs no praise. Mr. J. D. McLaren then gave the Seniors a farewell address, in which he spoke of the loss the society would feel in their absence, and also reminded them that they must get down from their "ponies" and turn the gallant steeds over to others, that they too might ride through in safety. Mr. Johnson and Miss Hubbard then spoke to the society as Seniors. Their advice and kind words showed how much Orophilian has done for her Seniors, and by their words could easily be told how hard it is to sever connections with Orophilian and associates formed there. Mr. E. F. Caldwell then addressed "Our Girls," but the boys enjoyed it as well as they, for he only spoke their praise. Dr. Black, Miss Bell's cousin, closed the program with a rehearsal. Orophilian again gave herself up to pleasure, and they seventy members present laid aside formalities and enjoyed themselves without limit. The party broke up at half past one, feeling a little sore that they had to lose their Seniors, but satisfied that they were better and stronger, and that they had never passed a more pleasant evening.

E. L. Godkin is delivering a course of lectures on free trade at Harvard.
Tuesday, the 28th ult., at the third hour, the engineering boys were treated to something a little out of their usual line. H. L. Marvin, C. E., uncle of Prof. Marvin, gave them a very interesting talk on practical work in railroad engineering. He began by giving a general definition of engineering, and stated that the subject was unlimited and inexhaustible; that a general knowledge of it, even if one did not practice it, is out of the best and most useful educations there is.
The subject is so broad that men generally make a specialty of one branch, and in this locality railroading is most profitable. He ended by giving some very useful suggestions in outdoor work, which would only interest engineers. Mr. Marvin has been in the field a number of years, and is one of the most noted engineers in the west. His lecture was highly appreciated by those who heard him.
Prizes.
As announced last week, two prizes will be offered for work in the modern literary department; one of fifteen dollars by Hon. Theo. Poehler, for the best German essay; and one of like amount by Hon. B. W. Woodward, for the best French essay. The maximum limit of these essays is one thousand words. They must be handed in by the 20th of May. Prof. Rosentengel, of the University of Wisconsin, has consented to act as judge of the German productions, and his decision will be of great value. The following are the subjects upon which the essays must be written:—
German—1, Goethe and Schiller as lyric poets; 2. The translation of the monologues in Hamlet in the Tieck-Schlegel Shakespeare; 3. The German sources of the English Sermon on the Mount.
French—1, The Richileu of Cinq-Mars, and the Richileu of history; 2, The French Academy; 3, The character of Chimene.
Subject for both languages: Comparison of French and German translations of Hamlet's Soliloquy.

It seems that college politics are still booming.
This world is all a fleeting show, and the fourth Monday isn't the first by a large majority.
The board of regents evidently have the inside track and intend to keep it.
The way some of the State papers discuss the action of the board of regents in reference to the chair of Greek is wonderful to see.
To the politicians who get left in the Review: There will be no shares for sale to you after the fourth hour on the last Monday in May.
There is a sad need of daily papers in the library. Among the many wants of the University, this is certainly one of the most important. Of the few dailies which are advertised to be kept on hand, the latest additions are all the way from two days to a week old. If papers cannot be had free of charge, surely the University is not so poor that it cannot subscribe for some. The Topeka papers could be had by the first hour, and the Kansas City ones by the fourth, if there was only more enterprise. It is all right to study Greek and Roman history, but we think modern events should not be left out of consideration.
The spot marked WEEKLY COURIER on the great ball of time has almost completed one revolution, and in its cycloidial path has witnessed an unquestionably successful career for our noble paper. The Courier has taken an independent stand among college journals, and is regarded as one of the leading weekly publications of the college world. Every day we are receiving flattering letters from all parts of the country, concerning our success as a college weekly, and congratulating the University of Kansas on possessing such a bright little paper as the Courier. During the year our reading matter has been as much of variety as possible, and we believe we have, to a certain degree, interested all our readers. The Views column, which has probably been most noticed, has witnessed hot debates on different subjects, and dictations of the numerous wants of the University. The other departments have had competent men a
their heads, and have been ably handled. Our little influence in helping to secure the fifty thousand dollar appropriation has been acknowledged, and all in all we think we can congratulate ourselves on our year's work. And in conclusion we would like to ask those interested in the affairs, if the "alleged" consolidation of the two papers last spring was just the right thing after all? We don't want to pick up any old quarrels, but simply make room to re-echo the statement, "Long live the Courier."
A Military Department.
If there is any preeminent defect in our college curriculum, it is the want of a means for physical development. The careful, conscious student will toil early and late over his desk, wasting his physical energy and power without replacing t. He rightly takes the mastery of his studies as the great object of his work, but loses sight of the fact that strength of body is necessary to the proper development of mind; that the broken down book worm is almost useless for any practical work. All kinds of athletic exercises and games are good to correct this fault. But the trouble is that those who really need the game of foot ball or exercise with the oar do not take advantage of the opportunity, but leave such sports to athletic, sturdy, robust men, who do not need them. Whatever this exercise for physical development may be, it should, therefore, be compulsory, and not optional. The department which could most fully satisfy the wants, and at the same time be agreeable to the student would be a military department. A number of the prominent colleges of the country have such additions to their regular course. An instructor is assigned from the regular army, whose salary is paid by the United States. Drill a certain number of times a week is compulsory. The results are, general advance in state of health, better work in studies, fine physical forms and easy bearing. The testimony of all the institutions who have such departments is to the great advantage resulting therefrom. We do not need to go farther for an example of its success than to the State Agricultural College at Manhattan.
The advantages of a mihtary department are manifest; the necessity is evident. Then the question arises, how can we obtain the necessary detail of an officer of the army, with the arms and accountrements customary? These can be obtained at no expense to the State.
First, the board of regents should take the matter in hand, and as the legal representatives of the University, make application to the secretary of war, in the manner laid down in the statute. Then by a little influence being brought to bear through our public men, the necessary detail may be secured.
The board of regents meet next month. If they will take the matter in hand and push it through, they will earn the thanks of the students, and do the University a great service, at a trifling expense.
Then the students must unite with the new instructor, and by every means in their power aid in making the department a success.
Greek Chair.
The manner in which a portion of the State press is commenting upon the late action of the board of regents regarding the Greek chair of K. S. U. is entirely unwarranted. That their stand in refusing to make public any reason whatever for their action is exceedingly arbitrary in this "free, democratic, liberty loving country," no one will deny. That the Greek chair is very popular with the students, our columns to-day testify. But a more representative and conscientious body of men than our board could not be asked. We have no reason for doubting them. They claim their action in this was unanimous, only the chancellor as an ex-officio member persisting against immediate action.
Judge Otis and Prof Fitzpatrick here as a committee on the natural history building Monday, while refusing to give reasons, gave the positive answer that their action was not in any degree impelled by "personal prejudice, religious belief, or sex discrimination." They said the resolution as passed now made a vacancy in the department after June 10.
This clears the chancellor, and leaves the whole matter on the shoulders of the board. They say they have good reason for action, and will shoulder it. With this let the matter rest.
Noble Prentis described his visit to Lawrence in the Atchison Champion ( He has the following to say of the University ;
While not hopeful on the subject of book education for Indians, the writer does not despair of its success in connection with the white folks, and so talked much with Prof. Carruth, who acted as "conductor" in the excursion among the Lawrence suburbs and streets about the University. The great stone text towered between us and the sky. As in all things Kansan, the signs of progress were visible. The "I was" beside the "I am," suggesting the "I am to be." Down on the farther end and lower slope of the high ridge was the old University building, square and ugly, and in the nearer distance the new building, and near it the newer chemical laboratory, and soon there will be the newest natural history building. Everything seems to be going on well within the walls, but there is, after all, a "burning question" before the regents. Shall this institution be an immensely select University, giving only strict University teaching to a necessarily limited number in a new State like ours? Or shall it be a school for Kansas youth, gathering four or five hundred yearly, and doing the best possible for them from the high school line up and through the course prescribed by the great colleges of the country? The University is thus placed between the Seyla of being a small but select college, and the Charybdis of being stigmatised as a "Lawrence high school." Our impression is that a decent into either whirlpool is not advisable. The chopping off the lower limbs has gone far enough, and the University can now, we think, be suffered to grow as it is.
Cost of a College Course.
An alumnus of K. S. U. has the following letter in the Kansas City Times:
To the Kansas City Times:
TOPEKA, KAN., April 30. -The editorial in Monday's Times on "College Expenses," is sadly misleading. The statement is made that "to go through the regulation four years costs for every boy's parents $3,200 at any of the six leading schools in the north, and $2,300 at any of the others." Fortunately for the student's pocket the statement will not comport with the facts. It may be true of eastern institutions, but not of those of the west.
The Times' figures led me to delive into an old pile of college plunderbooks, programs, badges, photos, what not. From the bottom I resurrected an expense book. Having earned the means for my college education, I had from the first a curiosity to know what would be the expense. However, I must not be put down as a "college saint"—one of those who studied while his fellows were at play, or who sat by a dim light in an 8x10 room, mending a coat of three winters in order to save the price of a much needed new one. Not so! I was "one of the boys," partaking of their fun, liberality—and I might add devilry. I belonged to one of the many abused Greek fraternities, was enrolled in a literary society, joined freely in athletics, besides belonging to a half a dozen other orders, whose chief features were dues and assessments. I attended the hops, theaters and class parties, and indulged moderately in driving and boating. In short, my expenses equaled if they did not exceed, those of the average collegian. Every penny disbursed during my four years of school went down on the book. Everything was entered—board, books, clothing, railroad fares, class expenses, society dues, graduating fee and many items that don't read so nice by half at this day—"Hack fare for two," "Present for——," "Theatre tickets self and girl," "Dance and supper," "Candy and oranges," "Boat," "Treat to club," "Library fines" and "Glass smashed Hallow'e'en." To make the case still plainer, I will say the institution was the State University of Kansas—place it in what category you choose. Well, on looking up the totals of my cash bood I fine them as follows:
Freshman year... $220.30
Sophomore year... 268.95
Junior year... 272.99
Senior year... 287.45
Total...$1,049.69
A grand total of $1,049.69 for a college education! If ever again I get as much pleasure and profit for the same investment, I shall consider myself a king of speculators. This amount is less than one-third you allot to the "average student at any one of the six leading colleges of the north, and much less than one-half what you say a youth must spend at the others.
From a somewhat intimate knowledge of student expenses at the University of Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Michigan and Wisconsin, I know the cost to be little if any more than in Kansas. Of course a student spendthrift can throw away as much money as he wishes. The figures stated
show the amount that will carry a boy through college and let him enjoy himself thoroughly.
That a college education pays handsomely from a social or financial standpoint, has been demonstrated too often to again discuss the question. The point I wish to make is that no young American need be deterred by the expense from obtaining a higher education. READER.

How to spend the vacation is a question which is now agitating the student mind. By all means use the time in some way which will be of profit and advantage to you in the future. For forty weeks you have been studying Greek, Latin, Philosophy and other useful branches—useful each in its way. But when the college course is finished, and the stern realities of the world are to be faced, then more practical knowledge will be necessary. We say put in your vacation on work in this line, on studies which will be of practical benefit, on subjects from which you may reap substantial returns. "And where," you say. As the very place to acquire this knowledge, we can recommend the Lawrence Business College.
During the summer there will be special courses organized for the benefit of those who are compelled to spend the winter in other work. Here all the branches will be taught so essential to a business education, all the English branches, Pennmanship, Letter Writing, Book-keeping, Commercial Law, Arithmetic, History, Algebra and others. Tuition in these is thorough and by well known competent instructors. The special classes in Book-keeping, Short hand and Penmanship will continue during the summer, and will greatly repay attendance.
A special course of twelve weeks will begin May 12th. A second term of eight weeks, especially designed for College and University students, will open June 15th. Tuition in the twelve weeks course will cost but twenty dollars, and in the eight weeks term only fifteen dollars. Those who wish to study Short-hand will find a teacher and unsurpassed advantages.
Young men and women with push and energy, who expect to be something and somebody, should take advantage of these exceptional offers. They should not put off attending to the practical requirements of life until compelled to face the battle, but should arm themselves with practical knowledge for the conflict. Those who complete the course find no difficulty in obtaining the best positions with the best houses. A College journal giving full particulars concerning all five departments, viz: Business, Pennmanship, English, Shorthand and Telegraphy, will be furnished on application 'Call at the College or address, E. L. McIlravy, proprietor.
Almost Incredible.
This morning a representative of the Herald-Tribune chanced to meet Mr. Dan Innes, late of the firm of Geo. Innes & Co. The conversation turned on the subject of of weak eyes and the use of different kinds of spectacles. Mr. Innes said that his eyes had formerly been poor, and that they easily became tired, while no glasses that he could obtain afforded him any relief, until about three years ago he was induced to try a pair of Prof. Samuel's glasses, since which time his eyes have not troubled him, although he has frequently been obliged, when very busy marking goods, to wear his glasses nearly all day and until late at night.
"No," he replied, I sometimes leave my glasses at home and am obliged to wear an ordinary pair. When I do this my eyes invariably begin to ache and continue aching until I take off the glasses."
"But," queried the scribe, "perhaps your eyes are better now, and would not trouble you as formerly, even with ordinary glasses."
As he became warm with his subject, Mr. Irms stated that he considered Prof. Samuels as a public benefactor, and said no money could buy his spectacles from him if he could not get another pair in their place.
He continued, "I do not say this on Prof. Samuel's account or in behalf of his glasses saving as it is strictly true."
Thinking that this expression of confidence on the part of one of the leading business men of the city, Prof. Samuel's and his skill as an oculist, might induce some who are troubled with affections of the eye to try some of his most excellent glasses, the reporter concluded to make this public. It is almost incredible the cures which Prof. Samuel has affected here by the use of his glasses—Herald Tribune.

At Oberlin, Ohio, in 1834, was founded the first college for the edu- hation of both sexes. This was an innovation which could scarcely have been brought about anywhere else than in a new country. This was an experiment, and so successful did it prove, that it has been repeated now by two hundred of the chartered institutions of the United States, or more than half the whole number that claim the name of college, and among them some of our largest Universities. The University of Michigan, Cornell and Syraeuse Universities, Boston University, University of Pennsylvania, Harvard and Yale, in part, and even John Hopkins University, grant one scholarship to a female student in higher mathematics. But it is not in America alone the example has been set. The London University, since 1778, has had no distinction of sex. Durham University last year admitted women, and in 1881 the University of Cambridge gave regular prosessional degrees to women. Even old Oxford, the ver- erable home of classics and the synonym of conservatism, has been compelled by popular opinion to open it doors to women. Neither is this ex ample confined to the United State and England, but the largest Uni versities of Germany, Italy, Denmark Sweden and Switzerland are open to women.
VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS: I have noticed in my perambulations around town that some of our students have a good deal of time which they devote to reading—not the standard authors, not books relating to their studies—but such deep philosophical works as the Police News and the Boys of New York. I would ask if time thus spent will bring in any very substantial fruits? Of course the student who does this pleads that he "muse have some light reading; and in truth it is light, and shows a shallow mine in the reader. At the age of mes, our students, any habit which is formed is a habit which will las through life. If a taste for good literature is formed, much good must result, and much pleasure will be derived in after years; but bad books or evil papers are like evil and dissolute companions; they inevitably lower the moral standard. They are even worse than bad associates, as many a young man is restrained by a sense of shame from keeping low company, while certain classes of literature seems to possess a charm for the reader. No young man can afford to waste the hours of a college course. Our library offers enough reading matter to occupy any leisure time which he may have; our professors are willing to point out a good course of reading. If a man comes to college to secure an education he should be willing to forego any pleasure which he might derive from story papers. He should endeavor to form habits of study; he should well employ the advantages which are offered to him. Is this literature good for a student? If not, then why not stop and turn to something better? It is time to think about this.
WILL C. U. LATER.
EDITOR VIEWS:—I have read with strange interest of the new departure of the board of regents in regard to Miss Stephens. There are "ways that are dark, and tricks that are vain," and many other unaccountable things besides the new prohibition law. Please allow a former student, who in a struggling way learned a little Greek almost entirely through Miss Stephens' kindness and patience, to express his sympathy in this time of unpleasantness to her. As to qualifications, ability and faithfulness in her work, there can be no question regarding Miss Stephens. I read her biennial report, and took it home to read to my wife. If that be treason, let them make the most of it. Truth is a keen cutter.
EDITOR VIEWS:—What in the world is the K. S. U. coming to? No Field Day, no University ball, no military company, no gymnasium. Will it always be thus? Will we always be noting but a set of "book worms?" This time two years ago the Senior Preps were beating the collegiate classes in foot ball every evening after supper. Last Saturday nine University boys had a little pleasure playing base ball, while nearly twice that number sat down, or almost broke their backs standing and looking on. I believe the Cash Dining Association has a foot ball. If they are willing let them bring it down on the ball ground this evening and we
will have a jolly good old Kansas State University game of foot ball.
EDITOR VIEWS;—Now is the time of year the Senior makes up seventeen back studies, the Junior pawns his overcoat, the Soph goes bug hunting, the Freshie roams over the prairies with his co-ed, hunting flowers, and the jovial Prep slides down the bannister. Also, Mr. Editor, I would like to arise amid this din and state that this is also the first anniversary of the time your humble servant lost about seven dollars worth of text books. And last Tuesday the momentous occasion was celebrated by my losing a book valued at two dollars and a half. It is surprising how many petty little thieves there are in the University; and I will state right here that if the holder of the article is found he had better make a full explanation. JUSTICE.
EDITOR VIEWS: I see that the students at Baldwin have adopted a uniform hat. Why should K. S. U. be behind her usually fifty-year-behind-time neighbor? The classes ought to take the matter in hand and try to work up something of the kind here. Class and college spirit are good things. Strurr.

Phi Gamma Delta gave an informal reception to the I. C. Sorosis last Saturday evening. The two societies met at an early hour, and after the usual interchange of greetings, applied themselves with zest to the pursuit of pleasure. The moments flew, hastened by dancing, social chat and euchre playing. The fun was interrupted by a call to an excellent supper at Pershall's, after which the party returned to the hall with refreshed and enlivened spirits. When the clock struck twelve the merry crowd reluctantly dispersed. The special charm that threw its spell around the whole evening and made the occasion the red letter day of the year, was that warm and friendly feeling that none can so well express as the boys of Phi Gamma Delta.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 15, 1885.
Miss Sadie Emery has resigned her place on the Field contest, and Miss Laura Lyons has been appointed. We learn that Miss Haskell has also resigned, and W. E. Higgins appointed to fill her place.
Dr. Lippincott is in receipt of a telegram from See. Bayard in which he says that he will be here in June. He will be entertained at the residence of Judge Usher. We understand that an effort will be made to have him deliver a political speech while here.
The campus now presents a very striking appearance. What two years ago seemed to be nothing but a patch of clover and weeds, has now grown up in blue grass. The drives are being spread with cinders, and are being done up—in the language of the school boy—in pretty smooth kind of style. By commencement we will have the finest grounds that can be found anywhere. The work reflects much credit upon Superintendent Parish's ability to manage such affairs.
A committee of the faculty selected the following to contest for the Crew prize. This is the old "faculty prize" for declamations and is contested for on Monday morning of Commencement week: B. P. Blair, Fred Bowersock, Frank Crowell, T. F. Doran, Gertrude Hunnicutt, Jean Oliver, T. J. Schall, S. W. Shattuck, Maud Tlasher, May Webster, Ross Wemple, Agnes Wright.
The following excellent program will be rendered in Oread to-day: Declamations, Miss Hunnieut and Miss Raught; readings, Miss Heifshaw and A. F. Yohe; essays, Miss Oliver, Jack Schall; orations, Denton Dunn and Cyrus Crane; debate, question: Resolved, "That the present civil service regulations are inadequate for the purpose." Affirmative, Bowersock and Martin; negative, Gilmore and Cruise.
The Cash Dining Association has had a group picture of their club taken; a hungry looking set.
Warren Perry has given up his position as weigh-master at the "pen" and returned home.
The faculty at its last meeting passed a resolution recommending that the regents prohibit all children under the age of thirteen from attending the commencement exercises.
To-morrow the science club will have a picnic at the Blue Mound. Everybody is invited. Wagons will leave the foot of Adams' street in the morning and will carry you to the mound and back for forty cents.
Supt. Parish has been making some excellent new walks and driveways around the chemistry building. Mr. Parish, by the way, is giving perfect satisfaction. The work was never better done, and when his improvements are finished our campus will be elegant.

--commencement, and especially while Secretary Bayard is here. We have no doubt but that there will be a larger attendance on his address than the chapel will accommodate. So we would suggest to the committees having the matter in charge, that seats should be reserved for students, or at least for the members of the literary societies.
Kansas didn't get the first place at the contest, but it got its share of the bakery at the election.
Mr. Docking, of Emporia, is entitled to great credit for his work to have the next Inter-State Oratorical contest held at Lawrence.
Lawrence has been chosen as the place for the holding of the InterState Oratorice Association next year. Kansas should make special effort.
The honor of obtaining the next Inter-State oratorical contest here belongs to the delegate from Kansas, S. T. Gilmore.
The next Inter-State oratorical contest will be held here. We insure those who attend from other colleges a royal welcome and fair treatment.
To the faculty:—On the last Monday there is a circus in town; also a menagerie in the Review company. The students are unanimously in favor of having school on Monday instead of Saturday.
The Carthagenian comes to us with the startling announcement that they thought the Courier had consolidated with a paper known as the Kansas Review. Nay, brother, we haven't the slightest idea of such a performance.
A number of State papers express their fear that the action of the board of regents in regard to Prof. Stephens was taken on religious grounds. This the board expressly deny, and as the gentlemen who compose it are well known to be honorable men, that matter ought to be settled.
Prof. Spring has been solicited by two colleges to accept positions; one the presidency of the University of Dakota, another a professorship in a prominent New England institution. But the professor is loyal, and will probably remain with the University of Kansas.
There is every indication of an immense crowd in Lawrence during

Along with a great deal of other spirit not so commendable, the Junior class has shown much class spirit, Next Thursday evening it presents a program of excellent speaking and music on "Junior Night." The custom of holding such an entertainment is a good one, and should be encouraged by a full attendance. If the plan is a success this year the entertainment will doubtless be held by the following Junior classes.
What Will Lawrence Do?
---
Governor Robinson has always been a friend to the University, and now he has added to his claim to that name. The governor has made the proposition that he will give to the University the tract of land on Mount Oread, lying north of the campus, about nine acres, if the city will oper up Oread Avenue. If the city accepts this generous offer, land will be secured to the University which will be valuable as an addition to the campus, and will be prevented from being a location for unsightly buildings which would destroy the view. And then if the avenue is opened another and much better than any present way of approach to the University will be secured. This last is badly needed. Neither of the two streets which now lead to the top of Oread are half way respectable. Oread Avenue would be of a gentle descent, easily ascended by carriage, and not so hard upon the weary footman.
If the city of Lawrence has any enterprise or business sagacity, it will accept the proposition. The cost would be but slight. The benefits would be great. Other cities do much more for institutions located in their midst, which do not bring near the return.
Oratorical Association.
Kansas holds her State contest about four weeks before her representative has to compete. Let something be done for next year to give "our man" a better chance. The successful man of last year devoted the entire summer preceding at Raymond's school of oratory in Boston, at work on his production. Each one of the other States give their representative from three to six months for preparation.
For three years in succession Illinois has ranked first or second in the Inter-State oratorical contest. As an exception to all the other states we believe she holds her State contest a year ahead, giving her successful contest a year in which to make such preparation for the Inter-State contest as he may see fit. Her carrying off the honors she certainly seems quite significant.
Let our college contests be held by the middle of November next; the State just before the holiday vacation. Let our home association take immediate action.
Some of our pious or would-be pious exchanges, object to the tone of the K. S. U. papers, and particularly to the Courier. At the same time they temper their remarks with commendation of the work done. As the Courier is run to please the students of the University of Kansas, and not to satisfy the all-wise exchange man of the seventeenth century college journal, we do not allow these little matters to make us lose much sleep. If a few of these relics would emulate our local and personal editors in energy and grit, if not in "check," no doubt they would be much better appreciated, and not have to fill their columns with "please pay your subscription," or exhaust their editorial minds with the complaints of lack of support and pleas for aid from alumni.
Inter-State Oratorical Contest.
Thursday evening, May 7th, the representatives from Colleges of eight western States met in friendly contest at Columbus, Ohio, to decide on the merits of their oratory. The speakers all did well, and the result was close. The decision of the judges, however, seems to give satisfaction.
When the decision was announced it was found that the orators ranked as follows: 1. Beveridge, of DePauir University, Indiana; 2. Gender, of Knox College, Illinois; 3. Pomeroy, of Iowa; 4. VanFossen, of Minnesota; 5. Docking, of Kansas 6. Gray, of Wisconsin; 7. Greenlee of Ohio; 8. House, of Nebraska The first prize of seventy-five dollars was therefore awarded to Mr. Beveridge, with his oration on "The Conflict of Labor and Capital; the second prize of fifty dollars, to Victor Bender, with his oration on "Shillel and Germany.
At a meeting of the association, Lawrence, Kansas was selected as the place for the next contest. Colorado was admitted to the association.
Regent's Meeting.
Yesterday the board met, with Messrs. Peck, Otis, Fitzpatrick and Smith present. The plans of J. G. Haskell for the natural history building were adopted, and work will be begun soon. The petition of the classical students for the retention of Prof. Stephens was refused. This settles the matter. A committee was adjoined to look after the opening of Oread.

EXCHANGE.
The Bee, from Illinois Wesleyan,
tries up the 'COURIER iden' as follows;
We approve of fraternities, and believe that in their place they are a useful institution. We also approve of a certain amount of zeal on the part of fraternity men for their respective fraternities, as without this zeal on the part of its members, the fraternity could not prosper. But there is such a thing as carrying fraternity zeal to excess. There is such a thing as deciding all issues as they arise, no matter how trivial or how plain, by the bearing which they have on the several fraternities or on the individual members of a fraternity, regardless of the right of the question issue. We are sorry to say it, but we believe fraternity zeal is being carried to excess in our own school. Fraternities are brought into everything. Our society and other elections are nearly all decided on fraternity grounds. Nor is this all. We have to carry motions and even decide points of order by strict fraternity vote, all the members of a given fraternity supporting any measure that is introduced by one of their number. It is to be deplored that such a state of affairs exists. Loyalty to one's fraternity does not demand the surrender of private judgment and conscience. Everyone should support or refuse to support a given measure solely on merits of itself, and not for fraternity reasons. In fact, the fraternity should not be mixed up at all in the affairs of other societies.
It may interest some to know what a few rich men have done for the cause of education. John Hopkins gave $3,148,000 to the University which he founded. His gifts for benevolent purposes amounted to $8,-000,000. Judge Packer gave $3,000,-000 to Lehigh University. Cornelius Vanderbilt gave $1,000,000 to Vanderbilt University. Stephen Girard gave $8,000,000 to Girard College. John C. Green and his residuary legatees gave $1,500,000 to Princeton College. Ezra Cornell gave $1,000,-000 to Cornell University. Isaac Rich bequeathed the greater part of his estate, which was appraised at $1,700,000, to Boston University. On account of the great fire and shrinkage in value, and other unfortunate circumstances, the University will realize less than $700,000 from this magnificent bequest. Amasit Stone gave $600,000 to Adelbert College by direct gift and by bequest W. W. Corcoran gave $170,000 to Columbia University in money and land. Benjamin Bussy gave real estate worth $500,000 to Harvard University. Samuel Williston, William S. Walker and Samuel A. Hitchcock gave between $100,000 and $200,000 each to Amherst College. Whitney Phoenix gave the bulk of his property, amounting to about $640,000, to Columbia College. J. B. Trevorn gave $170,000 to Rochester Theological Seminary. Matthew Vassar gave $800,000 to Vassar College. Gardner Colby gave $170,000 to Colby University, and $100,000 to Newtor Theological Seminary. J. B. Colgate gave $300,000 to Madison University George I. Seney gave $450,000 to Wesleyan University. The Croze family gave $300,000 to Crozer Theological Seminary.

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS
From Professor Snow.
Prof. of Natural History, State University.
LAWRENCE, KAS., Aug 10, 1883
LAWRENCE, KAS, August 10, 1883 — It gives me pleasure to certify to the great beats received by my son and daughter, aged respectively 12 and 10 years, by the use of Prof. H Samuel's glasses. Both of them have suffered from defective sight, so that they have been compelled to abandon school for more than a year. Other eminent authorities have prescribed for them without success, but Prof. Samuel's spectacles gave them immediate and permanent relief. My son is able to do entirely without glasses, his eyes having been restored to their natural condition by the timely and skilful application of artificial aid.
F. H Snow,
LAWRENCE, KAS, Aug 10, 1883.
Prof. Samuel's is in our city again. I can cheerfully recommend him as a first class optician. He has fitted glasses for me and my wife that are perfectly satisfactory, and much superior to anything we have worn before.
S. B. KMBEDSON, A. D.
Professor Samuel's is now at the Eldridge House, where he can be found for consultation at any time of the day.
There is quite a ferment in the Kansas State University at Lawrence over the forced resignation of Miss Kate Stephens, professor of the Greek language and literature. She says she is asked to resign, not because of incompetency, but because of her sex and her lack of religious convictions. The students generally side with Miss Stephens.—New York Tribune.
The Lawrence Business College has arranged a special course of 8 weeks in commercial branches, for students of Universities and Colleges, whose time is taken up during the other parts of the year, commencing June 15th. Tuition $15.
Skillful Surgery at the Kansas City Eye and Ear Infirmary.
On Thursday, April 30th, 1885, Mr. V-Van Trump, of Belleville, Kansas, was operated on for cataract in the right eye. His sight began to fail him one year ago, and gradually grew dimmer until lost for direct vision in that eye. Dr. Kimberlin, assisted by Drs. Dawes, Cooley and McKeen, opened the eyeball and removed the opaque lens, which was of an amber tint. This very delicate and difficult operation was successfully performed, requiring only a few moments time. Mr. Van Trump says he did not experience any pain either at the time or subsequently. He was able to walk about his room in three days after ward, and now, after eight days, is apparently out of danger, with fine prospects for restored vision.
Special attention will be given to school ars of College and Universities in Shortland during the summer months, at the Lawrence Business College.

EDITOR VIEWS:—I received with pleasure the tidings of the advent of a circus in our usually quiet little village, and have spent all my leisure time gazing on the representations of the noble animals, the mighty proportions of the fat women and the bestwitching form of the tattooed lady, until my soul is filled with an indescribable longing for a heaven of everlasting circuses. But since our modern idea of the eternal resting place is hardly equal to the imagination of my excited bram in the way of shows and menageries, therefore I wish to stir the stagnant air of the University with a long, loud, pleading cry for a vacation on Monday, May 25th Reverend and mighty profs., beloved classmates, are we to remain like slaves within the dull, cold walls of our college, going over the same monotonous drill which we have so faithfully endured for nine long weary months, while the sound of the musical music, the roll of the golden chariots, and the roar of the mighty lion, awakens our streets with the glorious sounds we all love so well. Shall we cause ourselves to ever look back upon our college year of '8 with sorrow and regret, simply on account of our inability to gaze upon the wonders of the "grand free parade," for fear of missing a few receptions? Shall we allow the blush of shame to overspread the fair face of Kansas, that her pet, the University has fallen to such a low degree that it can't turn out to a circus? Eve Baldwin has more honor.
PREP.
EDITOR VIEWS: As this seems to be a favorite time for discussing changes in the curriculum, I will propose one which I believe will be beneficial and wise. The course in political science has, as we all know, improved wonderfully in the last few years; but one side of it, and a very important one, has been neglected. There is no branch of this department which merits more careful study, and which will bring better results than the study of the relations of the social classes in this country. This question is becoming deeper and more complex every day, and it will eventually be the question before the American people. That the students are beginning to take more interest in such studies, can be seen by the largely increased classes this year. That the increase will continue, no one can doubt. Why would it not be well then to add a ten weeks optional on the subject to the already popular course? If the students wake up I believe we can secure this.
--have been built in the Business Exchange, and here the students pass to and fro investing capital, renting office or store, drawing articles of copartnership, leases, mortgages, etc., buying and selling merchandise at wholesale, retail and on commission, depositing cash, drawing checks, drafts—in fact performing in reality ALL that a man does in managing a large business.
ALEX.
EDITOR VIEWS: I have often felt that the system of giving prizes for declamations and orations was not the best plan which could be adopted. Other colleges have their scholarship prizes, why can we not have them too? It certainly would cause better work, and the work would extend over a whole year. The tendency of declamation and oration contests is to cause a great deal of hard work to be put into a few weeks. Regular studies are neglected, and at last a bad feeling is caused between the various contestants.
WILL C. U. LATER.
EDITOR COURER:—I notice with very great regret that the regents have decided to depose Miss Stephens from the Greek chair. The action, I am sure, was a great surprise to almost every student and alumnus of the University. Of all the professors in the institution not one was more generally liked by the students while I was attending the University, than Miss Stephens, and especially was this the fact with the upper class men. Her time and attention were always at the disposal of her students, and it made no difference who the student was, if he showed a spirit to investigate and a desire to improve, he found in her a friend and assistant.
As none or the usual objections to her can be truly given, and from the fact that the regents refuse to assign any reasons for their action, her removal is the more strange. It seems hardly possible that a body of men of the respectability of the regents of the University would remove a professor because she happened to hold different religious views from themselves, or that any of the members are so little and narrow minded that they would attack a woman from personal prejudice, and then shield themselves behind their official position. These charges have been made, with how much reason can not be positively said. For several years past Miss Stephens' salary has been grossly misproportionate to the amount of work she has done, and to that paid other professors in the institution. Her dismissal by the unanimous action of a board composed of three old members and three new ones, whose knowledge of Miss Stephens was undoubtedly obtained from the older members, are facts worthy of consideration in connection with the matter
In any case, as an old student, I can not but regret the action of the board. It will be a long time before another will be found to fill her position as acceptably, to the students, at least, as has Miss Stephens. The Greek department, especially in western schools, is not a very popular one, and any person who fills that chair will always be compelled to labor under this difficulty. That Miss Stephens has done much to overcome this objection will not be seriously denied. Whether her successor will do as well remains to be seen.

SUMMER COURSE
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
FOR
Bookkeeping
Penmanship,
——AND——
AT THE NATIONAL
BUSINESS COLLEGE,
Cor. 9th and Main Sts., KANSAS CITY, - - MISSOURI.
FOR THE BENEFIT OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
FOR THE BENEFIT OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS Who are occupied during the fall and winter months, and for all those who desire a knowledge of
Bookkeeping and Penmanship,
THIS SUMMER COURSE IS ESPECIALLY DESIGNED.
We can only afford during the summer months, when many students from out of the city go home, to offer such thorough and practical instruction at these Reduced Rates.
12 WEEKS, $15.
Those who take advantage of this offer will have a rare opportunity to fit themselves for teachers and accountants.
The principles of Bookkeeping are so clearly set forth, and the practice in the Actual Business Practice Department, where each student carries on a business of his own, is so accurate and real that diligence alone is necessary to gain a thorough, lasting knowledge of the terms and ways of the business world.
In connection with Bookkeeping, drill is given in the most approved methods of computing Interest and Discount, and the law governing Negotiable Paper will receive particular attention.
A Bank, Commercial Exchange, Merchant's Emporium, Real Estate Office, and Commission House
The college currency is the cash capital of the student, and the com. merce done with colleges located in Eastern and Southern cities, affords ample practice in writing business letters, telegrams, order sheets, bills, receipts, etc., etc.
The books and blanks of the bank are the same in every particular as those of the best equipped National Banks, and all business, both within the bank and with its customers, is conducted upon the strict principles that govern well-regulated banking institutions.
IN PENMANSHIP there will be one hour's drill each day. A plain business hand is taught. Our system of instruction invariably makes good writers of those that are not indifferent to practice.
At the close of the lesson in penmanship, twenty practical words are dictated, and twice a week a lesson is given in the form and substance of a well-written business letter. These lessons, besides giving valuable knowledge, afford the excellent opportunity of constantly testing the pupil's progress in easy, rapid writing.
Morning session from 9 to 12. Afternoon session from 1:30 to 4.
The College is open for study from 8 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.
The College is spacious, airy, well lighted and furnished.
Those who desire to take advantage of this course may begin any time before the first of August, with the privilege of attending 12 weeks from day of entering for $15.
TIME TO ENTER.
The instruction is mainly individual, and one can enter at any time with equal advantage.
Arrangements can be made at once by calling or addressing

Prof. Dyche has not yet decided where he will put in the summer. But wherever he does go, we warn all living creatures to keep out of his way.
Several students made two dollars Sunday by the rain. If it had not rained they would have gone buggy riding, and as it was they only called.
The custom of having a "Junior Night," although not as successful this year as it ought to have been, is one that should be continued by other classes.
The lecture course this year has been unusually successful. It was not started until late in the season, and met with many difficulties, but notwithstanding these it was the best we have ever had. Too much credit cannot be given to Prof. Carruth and his associates.
A prep, hearing the Juniors shortening the names of their studies from Political Economy and Rhetoric to P'lit and Rhet, said: "How can you verti brate your words so?"
According to the revised classification, the totals by classes are as follows: Senior, 19; Junior, 25; Sophomore, 38; Freshman, 61. Grand total, 143.

Brown and the night-watchman are having quite a dispute as to who the young ladies, who paid the University a visit Tuesday night, came to see.
The telephone is freely used by those boys who have girls down town. The only objection is that the profs are liable to drop in just as you are uttering your sweetest words.
All Juniors who desire to take special economics next year are requested to choose their topic and hand their names as early as possible to Prof. Canfield.
Now does the botany student wander over the heights of Blue Mound and the marshes of the lake in search of flowers, when the professor assures him that there are it least one hundred species growing on the campus.
The session of Oread last Friday was not one of the best. Warm weather and spring fever made the attendance of performers and audience light, and sowed a crop of fines which will be reaped next election.
Daily and Hatch came near meeting with a severe accident Sunday. They were out in the sail boat and lost control of it, and would have drifted over the dam if they had not been rescued by the boatman. Moral: "Remember the Sabbath day," etc.
The Arrow, the journal of the I. C. Sorosis, made its bow to the public yesterday. Its matter is well selected, well written and neatly edited. The young ladies have made a great success of the first number, and the Arrow is an honor to the society and to the Kappa Chapter here which has undertaken its publication. Kappa is one of the wide awake Chapters of the Sorosis, and has shown its zeal by the establishment of two new Chapters this year, one at the University of Cincinnati by Miss Annette Jones, and one at Denver by Miss Addie Sutliff.
Yesterday a challenge was received from the Washburn base ball club asking our boys to play in Topeka Saturday. Though there was no time for practice, the club promptly accepted the challenge. Frank Foster will captain the nine, which will probably be placed as follows:
K. S. U. vs. Washburn.
McBride, Catcher.
Yohe, Pitcher.
Foster, 1st Base.
Davis, 3rd Base.
Smith, 2nd Base.
Cruise, Short Stop.
Kerr, Left Field.

The Y. M. C. A. is in a very prosperous condition.
Wait for the next inter-state oratorical contest. Then see.
We feel for our esteemed cotemporary, and think we can reach him.

We feel sure our readers will be gratified to learn that there will be an election Monday.
Let us have school Saturday instead of Monday — at least, when the circus is Monday.

Again we repeat, ye who are left in the Review company will not be entertained at the COURER mansion.
The University evidently has no need of a special department in demagogery and political shystering, in view of recent developments.
The lecture course this year has been a great success, taking into consideration the disadvantages labored under at the start.
Oread society has set a good example in adopting a constitutional amendment providing that members failing twice in performance of duty shall be dropped from the rolls, and only become members again by being voted in and paying the initiation fee.
The last few weeks of the year are always the hardest. The warm weather, the pleasure of being out of doors, the knowledge of that only a short time will elapse before good bye must be said to the University and his girl, makes the average boy feel such an uncomfortable aversion to steady work, that he usually cannot overcome it.
--changes, collect subscriptions, rustle ads, read proof and keep up a general harmonious and pleasant feeling among the members of the staff. He must have energy and perseverance, must command the respect if not the regard of his fellows, he must be ready to do any amount of hard work, receive any amount of abuse, and at the end of his editorial career retire with a smiling face, to watch the struggles of his unfortunate successor.
Although the base ball club is not quite as good as last year, yet we expect much from them in the short time before commencement. They will play the Washburn nine on May 31st, and would proceed to pound the Baldwin boys if the latter could get over their crushing defeats before this, and muster up a club. This spring has been hard on athletics of all kinds, and especially on base ball.
Where Shall They Eat?
The alumni committee in charge of the banquet are in a dilemma. Where shall the festivities take place? It would certainly be inconvenient to go down town after the address, and yet there is no suitable place in the University building. Unless something is done the poor alumni may be obliged to hunger, with a sumptuous banquet in the future, but not in the University. Other Universities are provided with special halls for dining purposes, reunions and similar uses, and we think it would be a good idea for the regents to fix up either some of the unused lower rooms or make provision in the new natural history building for such a hall.
Field Day.
There is an old adage, "better late than never," and we hope it will be applied to Field Day. It seems much like harping away on the same old string, but we hate to give up the idea of at least one day in three hundred and sixty-five that can be devoted to athletics. There is plenty of material for the contests. What we want is somebody, or some organization, to take hold of the subject and work it up. There is only one such that can do this in the short time before commencement, and that is the base ball club. The club is composed of representative students, all interested in such matters, and if theywould go to work they could get up a good Field Day. What does the base ball club say.
The ideas which people have of what it takes to make an editor are various and sometimes very comical. From the number of aspirants to positions on the University paper, one might think that the work of the college journalist is a sinecure; that all he has to do is to attend lectures and parties, walk the halls a few minutes, and then repair to his sanctum and in a few hours write those articles which are to instruct and please his readers. There can be no greater mistake. The editor who does his work as it should be done has a hard time before him. Then some think that a "literary man" is necessary to a paper This is another error. He is usually lost in the demands made upon him. The editor must be a patent adjustable one, who can write a death or marriage notice, get up a keen edito rial, keep an eye out for personalis keep up his end in the fight with ex
Ye Coming Editor.
In the coming editorial election we would urge our readers, if they want good papers, to elect men who have the ability to keep up and raise the standard, the energy to work continually for the best interests of the paper, and the quickness and alertness necessary to that anomalous composition known as the "newspaper man."
A Chancellor's Residence.
All friends of the University have hoped that some day the Baker property would be purchased by the State and made a part of the University grounds. No better location or more desirable property could be found for a chancellor's residence. It has, however, been purchased by Mr. B. W. Woodward, who will remodel and repair the house and make it his permanent residence. We heartily congratulate him upon his purchase, and are pleased to have near the University one so kindly disposed toward it, yet we confess that we cannot see this desirable property slip away from the University without regret. The time has now come for the erection on the University grounds of a house for the chancellor. The reasons for such a move were fully set forth in the last biennial report of the regents. The reasons there mentioned are emphasized now by the fact that the chancellor is compelled to move on the eve of commencement, and that the house he is to occupy is situated fully half a mile from the University. We hope the regents will give this matter their early and earnest attention.
The chancellor rendered earnest and efficient service in procuring the new building for the department of natural history. The next building erected should be a residence for the chancellor, for now it is the one building needed above all others.

EXCHANGE.
Al Munir is the name of a neat little annual which we have received from the University of Cincinnati. It is published by Sigma Chi, and is a credit to the institution.
The Park College Monthly for May is fully up to the average. It is almost exclusively literary in its nature,
The Georgetown College Journal is devoting considerable space to "Notes from Battlefield and Prison," written from the rebel standpoint. In this issue the author very graphically describes the scenes within the rebel army at the battle of Antietam.
The William Jewell Student is quite literary in its nature. In addition to publishing all the "contest orations" it has added a department devoted to such stories as "Texas Courtship," from the Arkansas Traveler.
Young Gilpin, on returning from a ride with his sweetheart, was asked where he had been. "Oh, out riding with a party." "Yes," spoke up his young brother, "and when I saw you, you were supporting your party enthusiastically."
"O—h—h! yes, I see!" whispered Mrs. Fishwhacker loudly to her nephew, during Professor Gupper's lecture of "Primitive Man," "Shields and spears in the bronze age, and breast pins in the gold age, and clothes in the garb age; of course. I see it."
The Cornell Era is one of the best eastern exchanges, from the fact that it does not entirely fill its columns with reports of athletic games and appeals to alumni in behalf of the base ball club. Cornell is more of a western University in this respect.
The Purdue lacks in local matters, but its general get up is of superior tone to many more pretentious magazines.
Little escapes of tuters,

In the Inter-State oratorical contest Illinois has been very successful, having won in all six prizes. Indiana and Wisconsin have each won two, while Iowa and Missouri are obliged to be content with one each. Kansas should endeavor to join the list next year.
"Think he'll catcher?" asked a base ball player on the rear platform as a train was being chased by a very green countryman. "No, I believe he's a left fielder, old chippie." Then the conductor jerked the bell rope and made a short stop.—Ex.
The Northwestern for May 8th presents a pleasing appearance. The excellent typography of this paper is especially noticeable. In the literary line there is an article entitled "Does the fraternity pay?" which is interesting from the fact that it is well written and very peculiar. From this article one would be led to believe that fraternities were an affiliation sent upon the Northwestern because of her misdeeds.
Crews Beckworthy, Sen., to Mr. Ruskin Devere, art critic: "Now, that's what I call a fine picture: shows remarkable talent. My daughter painted that, sir, and I wouldn't take two hundred dollars for it. Why, the paint alone cost a hundred and fifty." —Harvard Lapoon.

My pony, tits of thee,

To thee I sing:
Of my freshman days,
Worth of fonder praise,
Worth of poetry of booky,

When "o'x" is nigh.
I love thy well worn book.

Silently lie.
The Intercollegiate Athletic Association will hold their tenth annual field meeting at the Manhattan Club grounds on Saturday, May 23. The list of entries is already very large, and it is probable that there will be some very spirited contests, especially in the high jump. Harvard, Yale and the University of Pennsylvania are each to send men who, in private practice, have beaten the American record in sprint running, in the 100 yards, 220 yards, quarter and half mile runs and in hammer throwing. The contest for the challenge cup, awarded to the college making the best record, will be very close. Harvard has held it for five years, but this year there is a good chance that either Columbia or Yale will prove the winner.

The acceptance of Gov. Robinson's offer of a gift of the land north of the campus provided the city would open up Oread Avenue, came before the city council Monday evening. Though no definite action was taken, the feeling of the councilmen was favorable to the acceptance. The avenue would run along the top of Mount Oread, through the old college grounds to Berkley street, making an easy way of approach. Gov. Robinson will have it set with trees on both sides and one row down the middle, making the avenue the pleasantest drive about Lawrence.

We wish to say a few words concerning a home institution of national reputation.
This institution, which was established in Lawrence sixteen years ago, has constantly increased in reputation until to-day it stands at the head of institutions of its kind between the Mississippi river and San Francisco. Its last year's enrollment reached over 400 students, from seventeen different states and territories, while it was

awarded the highest honors on best course of study in commercial College, at the Tri-State Exposition, held in Kansas City in 1883.
Our students should call and visit the Business College. Scarcely a person but hears inquiries at home as to where is the best place to go to secure a thorough business education.
Young men and women can at no other institution in the West enjoy he facilities offered by the Lawrence Business College.
Dancing.
A great many of the boys are now taking dancing lessons of Prof. Pratt. If a young lady or gentleman expects to-day to participate to any extent in the joys of the social world it is imperatively necessary he should be able to take his place creditably in a quadrille and one or more of the round dances. The dance has today in the greater part of all social gatherings become one of the chief forms of amusement. It has become truly a cannot-do-without accomplishment.
The students of the K. S. U. have an excellent opportunity to look after this in these few weeks before commencement. Work having eased up, a few lessons with Prof. Pratt at Frazer hall will be all that is necessary. Call on him.

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS:—In your last issue Mr. Will C. U. Later howls a howl against the prize system. Now, if the gentleman with the diagonal name will look at the subject fairly, he must be convinced that his first conclusion was rather hasty. Granted, that the spirit of emulation is not always the best, yet a moderate amount of it is requisite to bring about results. Prizes have never absorbed the attention of the student like the athletic “training” and oratorical “drill” do our eastern brothers. The world is a contest, and the sooner the young man recognizes the frozen fact that he must get up early and work late if he is to surpass his fellows and win a name for himself, the easier the contest of life will be. It is necessary for success to be able to bear victory and defeat. In no place can these be better learned than in college. It is necessary to match forces, powers, ability and talent with our fellows. Nowhere can we do this with better results than when young, and still neither entirely broken by defeat nor elated by victory. So I cannot agree with the most honorable gentleman as to the evil effects of giving prizes, and am glad to see that he has not convinced the faculty of the necessity of shutting down on the system.
--read a great deal of Latin and Greek in the time thus consumed, and our classical department would compare better with those of the eastern colleges. Then too, the morals of the student are injured. Every year hundreds of innocent little birds which God made to fly among the trees and to make the world better and brighter by their sweet songs and gay colors, are shot down by the ruthless student and carried to the laboratory (where they are in no way improved by age) to be pulled to pieces. Let us have a change. Either let laboratory work for classical students-be abolished, or at least let one hour's work without a collection of bugs be sufficient. D.
SMITH.
EDITOR VIEWS:—As a representative of the students I would like to raise my voice in behalf of my classmates, against the individual found in every class, who always begins to talk when the last bell rings. The disgusted class is compelled to listen, or remain while he is spouting, and the weared professor is obliged to "sit down on him" in order to dismiss his students in time to receive the next class. If the aforesaid men of wind who always have something to say just when nobody wants to or will listen, but who keeps on, in the great desire of hearing themselves talk; if these men knew how they were regarded by the professor and students, I believe they would think before doing it. WEARY.
EDITOR VIEWS: It seems to me to be a great outrage to compel a classical student to spend so much time in measuring the length and breadth of birds, and counting the spots on the backs of snakes and lizards. After ten weeks of study of the text book, which is well enough as far as the classification and theoretical zoology go, but a horrible bore in the anatomy and internal "derangements" of 1001 animals. The Sophomore is very kindly allowed to choose one hour's laboratory work and making a collection of bugs, or two hour's laboratory work. Having neither time nor inclination to roam around the country for bugs, and to spend a week or two naming them, suppose he choose the two hour's laboratory work. Then day after day for ten weeks he must fool away two hours in measuring bird's claws and snake's tails, and in counting the segments of crawfishs backs. This may be well enough for the enthusiast in such things, but it is a useless waste of time to the ordinary stu- be shirked by might
Junior Night.
Last evening the long expected junior night was the attraction in University Hall. The program was an excellent one, all the performers doing credit to themselves, to '86, and to the University. Mr. Adams' oration on "The Philosophy of Selfishness," was finely delivered. Miss Nettie Brown's declamation, "The Boy Conviet's Story," was fully adapted to bring out her ability as a declaimer, and she certainly cannot be surpassed in that line by any one in the University. T. H. Rockwell, who was on the program for an essay on "Evolution versus Christianity," was kept away by the serious illness of his mother. The oration by H. F. Graham on "The Progress of Civilization," was up to that gentleman's usual high standard. Mr. Graham is very forcible, and carries conviction of his sincerity. Miss Mamie Stimpson's essay, "The Children's Crusade," was well written and charmingly delivered. Miss Clara Poehler was next, with the declamation, "The Grandest Work of All." Miss Poehler is a fine declaimer, and has the talent for holding the close attention of her audience. The last oration was by R. S. Horton, on "John Brown." Mr. Horton's reputation as an orator is already won. His composition is smooth and attractive, ideas striking, and delivery graceful and forcible.
The music furnished by Misses Orrel Highbargin, Alice Ropes; vocal duet by Hattie Haskell and Kate Merrill; piano solo by Lillian Bell; and songs by the Amphion Quartette, were all excellent.
Some day next week there will be an interesting game of base ball between the Phi Gamma Deltas and the Phi Delta Thetas. Below we give the positions the men will occupy:

AT THE NATIONAL
BUSINESS COLLEGE.
Cor. 9th and Main Sts.,
KANSAS CITY, - - MISSOURI.
12 Weeks, $15.
FOR THE BENEFIT OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS Who are occupied during the fall and winter months, and for all those who desire a knowledge of
Bookkeeping and Penmanship,
THIS SUMMER COURSE IS ESPECIALLY DESIGNED.
We can only afford during the summer months, when many students from out of the city go home, to offer such thorough and practical instruction at these Reduced Rates.
12 WEEKS, $15.
Those who take advantage of this offer will have a rare opportunity to it themselves for teachers and accountants.
The principles of Bookkeeping are so clearly set forth, and the practice in the Actual Business Practice Department, where each student carries on a business of his own, is so accurate and real that diligence alone is necessary to gain a thorough, lasting knowledge of the terms and ways of the business world.
In connection with Bookkeeping, drill is given in the most approved methods of computing Interest and Discount, and the law governing Negotiable Paper will receive particular attention.
A Bank, Commercial Exchange, Merchant's Emporium, Real Estate Office, and Commission House
The college currency is the cash capital of the student, and the commerce done with colleges located in Eastern and Southern cities, affords ample practice in writing business letters, telegrams, order sheets, bills, receipts, etc., etc.
The books and blanks of the bank are the same in every particular as those of the best equipped National Banks, and all business, both within the bank and with its customers, is conducted upon the strict principles that govern well-regulated banking institutions.
IN PEMMANSHIP there will be one hour's drill each day. A plain business hand is taught. Our system of instruction invariably makes good writers of those that are not indifferent to practice.
At the close of the lesson in penmanship, twenty practical words are dictated, and twice a week a lessson is given in the form and substance of a well-written business letter. These lessons, besides giving valuable knowledge, afford the excellent opportunity of constantly testing the pupil's progress in easy, rapid writing.
TIME TO ENTER.
The College is spacious, airy, well lighted and furnished.
Morning session from 9 to 12. Afternoon session from 1:30 to 4.
The College is open for study from 8 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.

The visit of Secretary of State Bayard to our institution is a grand honor or to it.
We respectfully call the attention of our State exchanges this week to article "Commencement."
K. S. U. may be last in oratory, last in base ball,'but she is certainly still No. 1 with her students.
The Senior classes this year will number thirty-five all told—nineteen collegiate, seven laws, nine normals.
Prof. Lippincott received a letter the first of the week from Secretary Bayard saying he would be in Lawrence on Saturday, June 6th. He will therefore be in Lawrence on Sunday and Monday, his address being Monday evening.
The Board of Regents, at their meeting in June, should discuss the feasibility of placing the study of the Spanish language in the curriculum next year. The settlement of the south-west is making a strong demand for instruction in Spanish.
--past, has clearly demonstrated himself a nuisance. His faculty for attracting attention (making himself heard as it were) to the particular locality in which he locates in an audience, seems entirely too highly developed. It has therefore been decreed "by the powers that be," that beginning next Monday evening with the musical concert, and continuing throughout commencement and for evermore, children under fourteen years of age, unless accompanied by their parents, shall not be admitted to the college building to public exercises.
Chancellor Lippincott makes a precedent to-day in receiving the Senior class of the Leavenworth high school as guests of K. S. U, which it would be well to make general hereafter. The Senior class of high schools of the State induced to visit our institutions in this way would be productive of very good results.
Arrangements have been completed, to begin next week, whereby E. L. McHravey, president of the Business College of this place, also at Atchison, Kansas, will occupy one to two columns of the Courier, during the months to come. The space will be devoted to business college news and items generally.
From the *Academica* of Cincinnati,
we clip the following :
"The University Courier asks that a medical college be established in connection with the Kansas State University. If the Courier works as hard for this as it did for the $50,000 appropriation, we have no doubt but that it will succeed in having a medical school.
The "small boy" in his glorious privileges as a free American citizen in attending concerts, lectures, etc., in the University building in years
The COURIER, in its last two issues, has added 300 papers to its exchange list, the greater part to papers in Kansas. This has been done in order to disseminate well the news of commencement week. We are happy to note the generosity of our exchanges in the State last week in aiding this. Commencement program, with complimentary comments, regularly appear. The press of the State is K. S. U.'s best friend. The COURIER hopes, before many years, to be able financially, to appear regularly in the sanctum of every paper in the State. We find that we have but to get out news of our institution in order to have it well and kindly given general circulation. We appreciate this, and shall ever feel thankful therefor.
--up a chapter of which the order can feel proud.
Special Economics.
This being the first year of this option, Prof. Canfield has allowed those who finished the course to go leisurely and complete the work as they find time. Theses are just coming in, and show fine results. Each contains a complete list of all the authorities referred to in the course of the work, and concludes with a carefully prepared index. Some of the statistical tables and graphic charts are remarkably interesting. The set will be bound and placed in the University library. In most institutions attempting such work students must present a printed thesis, and leave a given number of copies in the library. We will come to that bye and bye.
Those taking this option, while admitting that the work is imperative in its demand on their time and effort, assert that they have found it deeply interesting and very beneficial. For the first time—really for the only time yet—in their University life are they taught how to make comparatively exhaustive use of the library and other similar helps to investigation, and to prepare a full monograph on this topic under consideration. The perfect freedom of inquiry, and the opportunity for giving so much continuous thought to one subject, and thus getting somewhere near "rock bottom," have proved very stimulating and delightful.
The real interest taken is shown by the fact that the theses are far overruning the required length. We understand that one, at least, will exceed twenty thousand words—or the equivalent of not less than seventy ordinary octavo pages.
Among great Americans who have expended their youthful talents in editing college papers, are the poets Holmes and Willis; the statesmen, Everett and Evarts; the eloquent divine, Phillips Brooks, and the pleasing author, Donald G. Mitchell! —Ex.
The class next session will be a large one.
Our Nebraska Sister.
Leaving Lawrence at 4 o'clock one afternoon, you take a zig-zag, seesaw journey east and west until 8 o'clock next morning you find yourself in Linecoln. Lincoln, like Lawrence, is a University town, but a stranger would never know it. The first fact we discerned was that the people of Lincoln knew or cared very little about the University, or the students, except when they caught the "medics" in the gonish resurrection of some departed citizen.
The University building is in the heart of the city, just as if our building were situated in South Park. It is an old building, cracked and dingy, with low ceilings and uninviting reception rooms—a seeming relief by gone days. We climbed to the dome through unfinished stairways, over creaky steps, finally reaching the summit by a long pine ladder which would not bear the weight of two at a time. The view from the top was lovely—a wide expanse of level country, the city with its magnificent churches and public buildings around us, and farther off a salt swamp glistening in the evening sun. The campus is a pretty spot and must afford inexpressible relief to the students after being cooped up all day long in clos-, nara w oo ns.
There seemed to be a want of life and good-fellowship among the students, though from the stories we have heard there has been a superabundance of "life," 'e'en though a paucity of the other article. Nebraska University has long been known for its bitter feuds—among regents, among professors, among students. The secret society war has been waged there with a bitterness unknown elsewhere. A very strange code of ethics exists, one scarcely conceivable to an outsider, and one hardly conducive to etherial bliss. The conflict is between the "ins" and "outs,"—the fraternity and anti-fraternity men. Eavesdropping, spying, stealing of rituals, and like practices, are openly boasted. Neither side is willing to concede any honor to the other, and "no quarters" is the battle cry. We were told that there were even those who would not hesitate to take the solemn obligation of a fraternity in order to reveal its secrets, O, tempores! O, mores!
The literary societies—three in number—are the centers of interest and enthusiasm. The two older ones have finely furnished ball, far ahead of ours here. These two societies are composed exclusively of "barbs," the secret society men having been ousted, after a bitter fight, last fall. The "frats," with their sympathizers, formed a new organization and meet in chapel hall. They need a hall of their own, sadly; a need which some wit thus extemporized on the fly-leaf of a singing book we happened to pick up:
"Come Fraters, poor and needy,
let us get ourselfs a ball.
Though we dress a little seedy,
And it takes our very all;
join together, join together,
Let us work till we can't rest;
Join together, join together,

About half the University boys were dressed in cadet uniform. One fellow wore a mortar-board hat, which carried us back in memory to the sophomore days of the class of '84.
From what we could judge the students are hard workers, and embrace more than the average number of able scholars The faculty includes several men of national reputation.
A new scientific building will be erected this summer. With more commodeous quarters and a disposition among the students to harmonize their interests instead of continuing an unnatural, unreasonable, and disgraceful warfare, the University of Nebraska would be a noble representative of the State.
The Courier to be Continued During Vocation.
It is only through the popularity of the Courier as an advertising medium, that we are enabled to do this. We are under almost double the expense of any paper that has ever been run in our school. We expect the continuance through vacation to so strengthen our subscription list for next year as to enable us, as we have planned and expected, to publish the BEST COLLEGE PAPER IN THE UNITED STATES. K. S. U. can do it, and the Courier now has the foundation upon which to build to that end.
It is with pleasure we announce that through the enterprise of our business managers arrangements have been made for the appearance, semimonthly, of the Courier throughout the summer months. All subscribers whose subscriptions are paid by July 10 will, at their homes or places of location during the months of June, July and August, receive the Courier twice per month.
Notwithstanding the severe factional feeling, bitterness and contest in college journalism the first of this year, we believe the magnanimous course of the Courier since emerging therefrom has won as its friend every fair-minded student and alumnus of K. S. U. Why should we not prosper next year?
Students, before leaving for their homes, should see that their summer addresses are in the hands of the business managers.

Washburn or Bast-Busted.
The Santa Fe train to Topeka Saturday carried a dozen of K. S. U. men who thought they could play ball. The train returning had a sadder but wiser lot of men. On arriving at Topeka the boys were met by a couple of Washburns and escorted to the college, where they disposed of a good dinner in a way which foreboded no good to Washburn. Then a couple of hours were passed watching the field sports, which were very fine, several of the contestants varying the monotonous round of pleasure by fainting.
At 4 c'clock the game of ball was called, Elsworth Ingalls acting as umpire at the request of both captains; and his umpiring all through the game was very fair and just. From the very first half of the first inning Washburn took the lead, and K. S. U. went to pieces as soon as the boys went to the bat. The game was hopeless after the first few innings, and at the end of the ninth the K. S. U. men sighed with relief when they could stop chasing the ball.
The loss of the game is ascribed to the lack of organization, no discipline or practice, want of a catcher, and lastly and chiefly, the Washburn men played the best game.
Though the return home was not lightened by dreams of victory, yet the boys are enthusiastic in their praise of the Washburn nine and the treatment they received from them. Our boys hope to reciprocate soon, and have challenged Washburn to a return game, to be played in Lawrence.

EDITOR VIEWS: Being a constant reader of this department of your paper I have taken great interest in many of the proposed reformations to our school life, and wish to propose one which I think will touch the heart of every true lover of the University with joy, and will cause my name to be remembered long after I have drifted to the other shore.
City
Only last week was this forcibly brought to my notice by a senior telling me with tears in his eyes, and a marked tone of sorrow and regret in his voice, that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, no one had ever attended the University with bare feet. Why is it thus? In schools but very little lower than our college students can and do attend with their feet bare. Boots and shoes are not natural, nor do they beautify the human form. On these warm days they sometimes seem to be an invention of the devil—peace to his ashes. Tall of the thumb screw, the rack, or any of the torturing instruments of old what are they compared with the modern shoe. I see no reason why we should trod the long weary way to the University clad in misery and heavy shoes, simply because the precedent has been established that we should cover our feet during our entire college year. I have no doubt, boys that if we start the custom of going to recitations with bare feet, that the girls will soon be following our noble example, and who knows that but that be fore many years elapse some of our dignified instructors may come limping into class with a stonebruise, o a rag tied around a stub toe, cause by following mother nature's first law, to go barefooted. PREP.
ED. VIEWS:—The recent election for editors of the Review seems to me to be an excellent example of the fraternity influence. Now this question of fraternities has been discussed pro and con, and good arguments on both sides, so I cannot, nor do I wish to say anything more on that old subject. But I do wish to express an opinion that such elections as the late Review affair are not best for students to engage in. If I have been correctly informed, certain parties descended to petty tricks, which even the lowest corner politician would scorn.
Is a position on a college paper of sufficient worth—has it such an attraction for the student—that he should not only neglect his studies and waste his money, but lower his standard of morality and debase himself. I think not. Any honor of this sort should be given to deserving persons, not to politicians.
As the affair now stands, one set of workers have walked off with the honors (?) the others are "chewing crow;" both parties lost much money, worse than lost their time, and are now none the better off.
I think that many of these would be office holders would do well to take up their neglected text books and do some much needed work; if they do not, there may be weeping and grashing of teeth, as our honored professors do not look at an editorship as equal to the work of the class room. Yours diagonally,

School of Languages.
The undersigned, members of the Faculty of the State University, propose to open a Summer School of Languages. In so doing they aim to meet the wants of all those who desire instruction in advanced studies and are not able, being themselves teachers, or for other reasons, to attend our high schools or state institutions. They have specially in view those students who expect to be candidates for entrance to the University and whose preparation has been left slightly defective by the incomplete courses of their home school. They further desire particularly to bring together as many teachers as possible who are themselves engaged in teaching languages in preparatory schools, in order that they may come in contact with the methods employed in the University, and may thereby be better prepared to fit their own students for entrance to University work. The session will begin on June 22nd, and continue five weeks. A small fee will be charged.

Commencement.
The commencement this year promises to be the best in the history of the University. The week devoted to the work is filled with interesting entertainment, and large numbers of people from other places are expected. The final examinations of the year are finished Thursday, June 4th, and that evening commencement week begins with the
FIELD-GROVENOR ORATORICAL CONTEST.
This will be a contest in original oration by ten of the best writers and speakers of the University. They are now at work on their orations, and will no doubt make one of the finest contests ever held here. The subjects are assigned by the Professor of elocution, and are of practical interest. The competitors are nearly equal as to ability and experience, and the result will be interesting from its closeness.
OREAD-OROPHILIAN CONTEST
takes place Friday evening, June 5th. It is a contest between representatives selected from each society out of about one hundred members, with special reference to ability. Each society will be represented by an orator, debater, declaimer, and essayist. Owing to the inability to obtain a decision satisfactory from judges, the victory will be awarded by each person placing one thought best, first.
NORMAL NIGHT.
THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON
Saturday evening will be the annual entertainment of the Normal Literary Society, and will represent the work done by the society during the year, which has been drill and study in the art of teaching as well as the exercises common to literary societies. The society has a deservedly high rank for conscientious work, and its entertainment will be of an excellent order
will be preached in the University chapel Sunday evening, by Rt. Rev. A.C. Garrett, Bishop of Northern Texas. Bishop Garrett is a divine of great reputation and ability, and in selecting him to deliver the Baccalaureate, the Board of Regents have added greatly to the interest of commencement exercises.
CREW PRIZE FOR DECLAMATION.
This prize will be contested for on Monday morning by twelve declaimers, selected with special regard for ability in declaration. TLi is the contest in which the younger speakers will win their first laurels, and prepare the way for further advance in elocutionary contests.
THE ADDRESS BY SECRETARY BAYARD will be on Monday night. This will undoubtedly be the great event of the week. Secretary Bayard has a national and world wide reputation as a statesman and orator. He is one of the leading Americans, and his presence will be an honor to the University. The subject of his address will be "Thomas Jefferson," the founder of the American Democracy—could not have a more fitting memorialist. Great preparations are being made in Lawrence to give Mr. Bayard a suitable welcome.
CLASS DAY EXERCISES.
will be on Tuesday morning, and wil be delivered by selected members of the Senior class. This will be a very popular morning, especially with students, who will then listen to the farewell words of the graduating class. The speakers are able and popular.
THE ALUMNI OF THE UNIVERSITY will meet Tuesday afternoon to transact the business of the association. In the evening will be
ALUMNI ADDRESSES
before the association, and friends of the University, by Angelo C. Scott, of the class of 77. Mr. Scott has already made a brilliant reputation, and his address will be a great attraction. After the address the alumni will hold a reunion and banquet.
A large number have already assured the committee in charge, of their attendance, and this will be made a time for the renewal of the old college friendship, formation of pleasant relations between old and new, and general consultation as to the interest of the University.
COMMENCEMENT DAY
Bayard.
will be Wednesday, June 10th. The exercises will be by representatives of the graduating classes, and addresses by public men. The speakers are all able and competent, just the ones to close a great commencement week.
At a meeting of the business men of Lawrence Monday night it was decided to give Secretary Bayard a public reception after his address at the University on Monday evening, and afterward to have a banquet at the hall of the Jeffersonian club. A committee of eight, with Chancellor Lippincott as chairman, was appointed on reception at the University. The other members are Chief Justice Horton, Governor Martin, Senators Plumb and Ingalls, and ex-Governors Robinson and Glick and Mayor Poelher.
Mayor Poehler, Chancellor Lippincott, Judge J. P. Usher, representing the Jeffersonian Club, and J. S. Emery the Cyclones; and two representatives from the students, one from each of the literary societies of the University, were appointed to meet Mr. Bayard at Kansas City and escort him into Lawrence.

SUMMER COURSE
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
Bookkeeping
AND——
Penmanship,
AT THE NATIONAL
BUSINESS COLLEGE
Cor. 9th and Main Sts., KANSAS CITY, - - MISSOURI.
12 Weeks, $15.
FOR THE BENEFIT OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
FOR THE BENEFIT OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS Who are occupied during the fall and winter months, and for all those who desire a knowledge of
Bookkeeping and Penmanship,
THIS SUMMER COURSE IS ESPECIALLY DESIGNED.
We can only afford during the summer months, when many students from out of the city go home, to offer such thorough and practical instruction at these Reduced Mates.
12 WEEKS, $15.
Those who take advantage of this offer will have a rare opportunity to fit themselves for teachers and accountants.
The principles of Bookkeeping are so clearly set forth, and the practice in the Actual Business Practice Department, where each student carries on a business of his own, is so accurate and real that diligence alone is necessary to gain a thorough, lasting knowledge of the terms and ways of the business world.
In connection with Bookkeeping, drill is given in the most approved methods of computing Interest and Discount, and the law governing Negotiable Paper will receive particular attention.
A Bank, Commercial Exchange, Merchant's Emporium, Real Estate Office, and Commission House
have been built in the Business Exchange, and here the students pass to and fro investing capital, renting office or store, drawing articles of co-partnership, leases, mortgages, etc., buying and selling merchandise at wholesale, retail and on commission, depositing cash, drawing checks, drafts—in fact performing in reality ALL that a man does in managing a large business.
The college currency is the cash capital of the student, and the commerce done with colleges located in Eastern and Southern cities, affords ample practice in writing business letters, telegrams, order sheets, bills, receipts, etc., etc.
The books and blanks of the bank are the same in every particular as those of the best equipped National Banks, and all business, both within the bank and with its customers, is conducted upon the strict principles that govern well-regulated banking institutions.
At the close of the lesson in penmanship, twenty practical words are dictated, and twice a week a lesson is given in the form and substance of a well-written business letter. These lessons, besides giving valuable knowledge, afford the excellent opportunity of constantly testing the pupil's progress in easy, rapid writing.
IN PENMANSHIP there will be one hour's drill each day. A plain business hand is taught. Our system of instruction invariably makes good writers of those that are not indifferent to practice.
The College is spacious, airy, well lighted and furnished.
Morning session from 9 to 12. Afternoon session from 1:30 to 4. The College is open for study from 8 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.
TIME TO ENTER.
Those who desire to take advantage of this course may begin any time before the first of August, with the privilege of attending 12 weeks from day of entering for $15.
The instruction is mainly individual, and one can enter at any time with equal advantage.
Arrangements can be made at once by calling or addressing
