--enable and form some definite organization, would not much good result? The writer had a conversation with Prof. Carruth and ascertained his views on this subject. He thinks that if some organization was perfected, certain definite courses of work made and preliminary contests held at the different colleges, then a grand athletic contest held at a certain place at the end of the year, that an interest would be taken in the sports next year which has never been felt. Certainly harder work would be done by the students in this line. Let us have the views of the students on this matter. Something ought to be done, and done soon.

The Courier hopes to present in its next number some interesting estimates in regard to several proposed improvements.
The lecture committee which served during '84-'85 was reappointed for the year 85-'86. The committee hopes to secure lecturers who will draw students and towns-people up the hill. Concerts by the department of music will vary the program as hitherto.
Within the next year about four hundred dollars will be expended in purchasing illustrative apparatus for the department of modern languages, and one hundred for the department of mathematics. Both departments are greatly in need of such aids, and may be expected to shine with extra brilliance when the new apparatus arrives.
Every young man and woman returning to school next fall should have completed arrangements with their county paper to furnish correspondence from the University. Great good can be done for our school in this way, and the papers of the State generally would be pleased to receive such matter. They will at least send a complimentary copy of paper and furnish stationery for such correspondence.
Next year promises to be the most eventful in the history of K. S. U. Never did the rumblings of student spirit for progressive action sound louder and clearer. A class of college songs, a military company, and much greater interest in athletic matters, will be the result.
A copy of the Courier will be sent one year to each of the composers of words for the three best college songs appropriate for K. S. U., received by it by the first of September, when they will be published with names of the authors. Who will send in the first?
Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association.
Our oratorical association has met with success and why can the colleges of Kansas not form an athletic association on a similar plan? All the schools took more or less interest in the sports this year. All had some sort of field day exercises; all have, among the body of students, a number who feel such interest in the athletic sports. Now if some of the students from these colleges could as-
A Militia.
The COURRIER will boom this matter and endeavor to bring it to a successful issue.
During the past year there has been more or less talk of organizing a malitia company, and it has been said that we could get an army officer to drill us. No decided steps have been taken by the students.
The writer had a conversation with Prof. Carruth on the subject recently and the Professor said that he had had correspondence with Senator, P. B. Plumb, and at commencement the Senator said we could have an officer delegated to drill us if we only organized and asked for one.
There are now eight officers who could be so delegated, and with such support as we would receive from Senators Plumb and Ingalls we would have no trouble in getting our officer.
Now, gentlemen of the University, we are going to organize next fall and we want a large number of students to give us their hearty co-operation in the matter.
Prof. Carruth has worked hard, and now the matter must be left with the students. As to the advantages to be secured from a militia organization, but little need be said; they are too manifest to need much explanation. The drill is something which has been much needed by the students in the past. The expense is light; not much time will be needed, and the exercise is much better than any we have had in the past. So prepare to enroll yourself as soon as school opens and we will try and have an officer before Christmas.
--episode of great interest at the time.
It should be kept.
College Songs.
It is a cause of regret that the U. of K. has no songs of its own. A book of songs would help the students to enjoy college life more,would cause a feeling of fellowship and would act as a strong tie between the young men and old Alma Mater. It is very noticeable that when an alumnus of an eastern college speaks of old times,he refers to the college songs,and these call to mind many incidents which otherwise would be forgotten. The alumnus of U.of K. when asked of the old songs,must answer,"we had none."
The students of eastern colleges sing on every occasion. The student of Kansas never sings. At such occasions as the Science Club banquet the professors have to lead in the singing.
Now songs have been written by our students. Many now in school remember the song which starts:
"There stands a sign on yonder hill, etc." Where is that song? Lost. That song commemorates an
Now, Prof. McDonald wishes to get up a book of songs of U. of K. He has commenced a correspondence with eastern parties, and he hopes to have a number of books with college songs by fall. Let us get up some songs of our own, set them to popular airs and sing them. Not let them drop in a few days.
Prof. McDonald has done much for music in the University. He is willing to do more. The students should help him. There is no reason why our students should not be able to sing good college songs at their meetings and on their excursions. "Roll, Jordan, roll," and "Down by the Sunrise," are getting rather old. So give us a song book.
The Academy of Letters.
The Academy of Science is not to continue without a rival. At the last meeting of the State Teachers Association steps were taken towards the organization of a Linguistic Association, to include all teachers of languages in the State. The first meeting was set for June 16th, at the University. Pursuant to this order a small number of the tried and true met in the Greek room at the University Tuesday evening after commencement, and listened to an address by Dr. Lippincott on "The place of the Classics in Education." The entire day, Wednesday, was occupied in completing the organization, and in listening to and discussing the following papers: On the moral phases of Faust, by W. H. Carruth; on the literary Fause, by Miss Ida Alhborn; the Uses of some Words, by Robert Hay; on Language, by O. C. Hill; on methods of teaching English Literature, by W. G. Hoss.
A constitution was adopted whereby the scope of the organization was somewhat broached, so as to include what is commonly understood under "Literature and the Arts" in the colleges, and all are invited to membership who are interested in pursuing or encouraging the pursuit of higher linguistic, historic, and philosophical studies.
The following officers were elected:
President, J. A. Lippincott; Vice President, O. C. Hill; Treasurer, J.
E. Williamson; Secretary, W. H. Carruth; Executive Committee, W.
I. Graham, Lilian Storrs, the Secretary.
The executive committee of the Alumni Association met on commencement day and appointed the following special committees:
The next meeting of the association will be held in Topeka some time during the Christmas holidays, and it is expected that interesting papers will be presented by the leading educators of the State.
The constitution will be printed in the next number of the Western School Journal.
Alumni Committees.
On Oratory and Toasts: W. C. Spangler, F. P. MacLennan, G. B. Watson, Hannah Oliver, Carrie M. Watson.
On Invitation and Banquet: L. L. Dyche, Agnes Emery, Annie Gilmore, Mrs. Perkins, C. J. Simmons.
On best Interests of the University:
J. A. Wickersham, Nellie G. Thach-
er, P. C. Young, Ellis B. Noyes, E.
C. Meservey.
On Legislation: J. W. Gleed, H.
S. Tremper, A. E. Parker, F. A.
Stocks, C. F. Scott.
The duties of the committee are respectively: To select the person to give the annual address; to adopt toasts and select the persons to respond; to decide what guests shall be invited; to ascertain at an early date the probable number at the banquet; to send out invitations to the guests; to make all detailed arrangements for the banquet, including the financial levy and its collection; to consider whatever may concern the welfare of the institution, and especially to lay before the association motions and resolutions on particular measures; to watch the course of all legislation concerning the University, etc.
A committee of which L. L. Dyche is chairman, was appointed to prepare the first tri-cumial catalogue of the graduates of the institution. It is hoped that all graduates will respond promptly and fully to the call which will be made upon them in due time for "brief biographies." The list of graduates is becoming rather cumberous for the annual catalogue, and Dr. Lippincott has encouraged this action on the part of the association looking to a separate catalogue for students. The Chancellor has taken great interest in the Alumni Association and expressed his earnest desire to further its usefulness wherever possible.
Where Is He?
Any one knowing the present address of W. S. Herrick, '75, or any means of finding it, will confer a favor by communicating with L. L. Dyche.
Midsummer Meditations.
How many of the would-be dudes of the University are going bare-foot at home, do you suppose?
I hear Fred Stocks has bought a $700,00 piano. The profits of the banking business must be immense.
Speaking of the library, an order for $1000 worth of new books has gone to the publishers. I am told that the trouble is not so much to fill the order as to decipher the professor's writing. The regents ought to get each member of the faculty a type-writer, and some one to use it.
Don't a college education fit one for anything but school teaching? Of the class of '85 there are Johnson, Stevens, Cook, Powell and Miss Hubbard, and heaven knows how many more that are going to teach this winter. I admire their pluck, especially of those who got schools in the very shadow of the State Normal, but it does seem to me there are other fields of labor more inviting.
* * * * *
There are, however, many vocations worse than school teaching, and those students who can get situations in schools or any where else had better freeze on to them. The coming year is going to be a rough one financially, and our gilt-edged alumni will not be proof against the corroding effects of the elements.
Will we have more fraternities here? Yes, as long as there are men without badges in the University and tenth-class fraternities without chapters, new Greek societies will come. However, there is some consolation, they can't be any worse than the one we already have.
By the way, what has become of "R. E. Henry?" He hasn't contributed anything to Greek literature for fully two weeks.
It would be more honorable if certain students would share some of the privations of their parents. A certain gentleman told me confidentially the other day how he had raked and scraped to raise fifteen dollars which his son had spent for floral tributes and suppers commencement week. It is very sweet to reflect how your girl lingers over a pretty boquet, but not so sweet when you remember that at home your father and mother have less to eat as a consequence.
Even if you can afford it, are flowers the most appropriate offerings? Of course every one understands that these spring exotics are no longer a testimonial of merit, but only an indication of the number of wealthy friends and the extent to which they are willing to go down in their pockets. The custom was started this spring of sending up books. A decent bouquet costs from three to twenty dollars, and will wilt into nothingness in about two weeks. A handsome book costs about three dollars, and will last forever. Who knows but commencement day may yet be a sort of Christmas tree occasion!
Not a straw has yet blown in the direction of Lawrence to tell whether the University attendance next term will be larger or smaller, or any thing about it. The terrible business outlook of course, has its depressing effect on collegiate numbers, but on the other hand our increased facilities and wide advertising ought to start a stream in this direction. However, as before stated, one can't tell anything about it.

Progress and the blessings of steam have brought us close to the confines of a neighboring nation. Old Mexico, differing from us in language and habits; a nation abounding in vast natural resources, and as yet but partially developed.
It requires no statesmanship to foresee the future will develop and bind the two nations in great commercial relations, and hence will open up a large and productive field of enterprise for young America. Considering all these circumstances, we deem it a matter of paramount importance to the young men of this western world to acquire at least a knowledge of the Spanish language.

Rev. C. B. Mitchell and Mr. Floyd, of Greencastle, have been in town for some time. They are members of Delta Tau Delta. Looks suspicious.
Misses Edith and Mamie Manley have arrived with their parents at Fort McGinnis, Dakota Territory. The winter there lasts all summer—really.
Bob. McAlpine reports that he has secured a very fine position in Wyandotte. His work is with the transit, commonly called the hoe, and his field is—the 'tater patch.
Linley, the irrepressible and notorious Victor, is now quiet at Atchison. Next September he will go for the scalps of the Columbia law school men.
Gilmore and Crane have turned into book agents, and are in the neighborhood of Emporia. Later—Have returned, "but do not like the work. Were never ment for the business.
W. H. Johnson has been elected principal of the high school at Emporia, and L. M. Powell of the one at Newton. W. C. Stevens has been chosen professor of Natural History at Emporia. Good for '85.
J. S.West and J.M. Humphrey, law '82, are law partners at Ft. Scott. The former is successful and popular as county attorney, the latter is booking for a partner among the country girls.
Edna Maxwell will soon leave for Pittsburg, Pa. We very much regret to loose Miss Maxwell from our midst. The best wishes of a host of friends will follow her to her eastern home.
C. S. Gleed, of the firm of Gleed & Gleed, made one of the arguments before the U. S. Circuit Court in the famous Hillman case, speaking for the insurance companies. Gleed & Gleed are "getting there."
The Phi Gamms who have been in Lawrence, enjoyed a pleasant visit from Prof. H. C. DeMotte, of Quincy, Ill. Prof. DeMotte was for 23 years a professor in the Illinois Wesleyan University at Bloomington.
Sigma Chi received visits during commencement from their brothers Morrison Munford, of the Kansas City Times; Rev. A. S. Embree, of Manhattan; A. G. Beatty, of Burlington; C. W. Douglas and F. C. Platt, of Topeka.
We are glad to be able to chronicle the success of an other K. S. U. boy, W. A. Otis, better known as " little Willie." Step by step he has advanced until he is now a full partner in a fruit stand. He is a bright and shining example of what pluck and hard work will do.
On Thursday evening, June 18th, Miss Nellie Gruswold, formerly of '85, was united in matrimony to W. Herbert Beatty, a prominent young man of Lawrence. Miss G. made many friends during her sojourn in school, who wish her the best of happiness. The members of Kappa Alpha Theta, of which Miss G. is a member, were at the wedding. The Courier extends congratulations.
MaeLeman on the University Press.
It is with pleasure we print the following extracts from the toast of Frank P. MaeLennan on "the University Press," at the recent Alumni banquet. Few men in the State are doing more for Kansas than Frank himself, the moving spirit of the ably edited Emporia News;
The periodicals issued from the University have had the ame checkered careers that are common to all papers printed for exacting people now on earth.
The Observer of Nature was followed by the Colleqiate, with Charley Gleed as editor. About 1879 other candidates for a share of the fame and fortunes garnered by the University publishers entered the arena, and there were great times — consolidations which did not consolidate, and wars of words. In these battles, however, the brave editors were true to the motto that the “open is mightier than the sword,” or a club in the hands of an irate subscriber.
In those days the Kansas Review was evolved, with the genial Timmons as editor; and later, W. H. Carruth, now professor, and, we understand, Lawrence correspondent for the Paris Figaro and the Berlin Staats Zeitung. Afterwards Charley Scott did the heavy work on the Review, and beheld his rival sometimes way behind in the race; and again the avant Courier of renewed activity abreast with its contemporary.
Later students have watched from a better vantage ground the progress made by University publications; have seen them grow in strength and influence and variety of constituency. We think all the old boys and girls feel proud of the spicy and newsy WEEKLY COURIER of to-day, and are gratified beyond measure to think that from their old college issues the University Review—the peer of any similar publication printed.
The enterprise of these periodicals as illustrated in their regular and special issues, reflects the true newspaper spirit and energy.
In the production of annuals the [university Press is also in the van. The Hierophanes, with the sedate imprint of the skull and cross bones, sparkled and bristled with wit and wisdom about the year '74. Late came the Kickabee, the Cicada, and the Cylone,
In the shadow—or perhaps the secluded sunshine—of the University walls, also flourishes the L. C. Arrow, whose editor-in-chief agrees with Hugo that “this 19th century belongs to women,” and cries out against “taxation without representation,” and the injustice of men; and then beautifully and devoutly says, in that true womanly nature, on the title page, that the Arrow has a
"Mission to cheer and bless
Wherer its lot be cast,
And come what will of weal or woe,
Be faithful to the last."
As we pass the last "University mile stone" we observe the handsome Kappa Alpha Theta, a gem whose outward appearance but reflects the beauty and truth instilled into its pages within by the fair and accomplished editors.
A full quota of praise is to be accorded the Shield of the Phi Kappa Psis, which is burnished by the bright thoughts of Ed. Little, after school hours, and kept in trim for the battle with printers and the public by the indispensable Spangler and a corps of alles able.
The "University Press," it must be remembered, is not limited to the college papers. The old students doing regular newspaper work, lose no opportunity to say good things of the institution and its friends. They are honored and not unimportant members of the press of the University of Kansas. They deserve kindly mention.
Among the foremost of this class it delights us to speak of H. C. Burnett, an old student, an eloquent orator
and an able editor, now long in the service, and an unswerving friend to the institution on Mt. Oread. The Leavenworth Standard has printed numberless paragraphs and articles of good cheer and encouragement for our alma mater and those therewith connected with its past and present. Henry Burnett, after years of struggle for the supremacy of his cause, now sees his own little democratic despotism perched on high, and his early associate, Gov. Ross of New Mexico, in the front rank of the procession. Henry is happy and we are glad to know it.
10 Charley Smith—now Hon. Chas. W. Smith, and a most worthy regent—the years have been kind. In some measure has he received his reward for a devotion to his university, in school and out, through the Stockton News, from the bar, and we trust ere long to be shown from the bench amid the folds of the judicial ermine.
Charley Scott of '81, whose printer's "devil" ought to be getting out his paper this week, we believe went out and commenced with nature among the mighty crags and peaks of the Rockies, but returned to Kansas, and during the year he has wielded the pen at Iola, the Register has printed many good words for the University. His brother Angelo is like unto him, and the same paper has been used by him to advance as he could the growth and prosperity of the institution he left in '77, and before the public bar, wherever he may go we know he will be an able champion of the best interests of the State University, and the friend of the alumni who owe him another debt of gratitude for his excellent address this evening.
G. C. Smith, the sweet singer, now on the St. Joe Herald, shows timely recognition of the wants and wishes of his old college.
So does C. C. Finch, of the Harper Doily Graphic. He is enterprising to the limit of that invaluable journalistic quality; but we notice by a late issue of his paper that a rival has excited his he and gone beyond the ability of his own journal by publishing a cut of Victor Hugo a few hours after his death, under the heading "by telegraph." Charley does not yet know how to receive a picture over the wires on the afternoon of the demise of an eminent author.
The graces and good qualities of Charley Gleed, to the people of Lawrence and to the friends of the University, are as an open book. His brilliant career as city editor of the Lawrence Journal, as the long time editor of the Santa Fe Trail, and later as managing editor of the Denver Tribune, are alike well known, even as his true friendship for the institution whose commencement days these are. That Charley Gleed is now only a lawyer instead of an editor, must not be placed to his discredit. Careful investigation has led his friends to decide that the life of a Colorado journalist has more trials, temptations and dangers before it than the onward march of a Kansas attorney, and while the former may be nearer the rich lodes of gold and silver, the latter at Topeka is worth to the University two or three editors off in the centennial state. Of J. W. Gleed, the brother, we might say much the same. Why he, too, promising a journalist, should abandon the profession for the business of the law, is Greek to us. The legal fraternity need such accessions, to be sure. However from a Gleed standpoint we know bright visions of important Leavenworth insurance cases held out inducements not to be slight-ed.
A University boy of '84, since giving up his desire to be state superintendent, has been killing time by managing the schools of Solomon City, and a Democratic paper at Minneapolis. His name evidently holds the Keys to the situation in his locality, for he tells us that he expects at any moment to hear that President Cleveland has conferred upon him the lucrative degree of a Kansas P. M.
W. H. Britton, of the same year,
does the pen and ink work of the
great Banana line—the A., T. & S.
F.—and confidentially informs us that
what he prints in the Trail is gospel
truth—at least his "revised version"
of facts for the immigrant.
frank Hutchins of 83, of the Journal staff, and numerous metropolitan papers, is always right on the ground to remember his alma mater.
Bion Hutchins, an alumnus for four years, a brilliant pedagogue for a period, now constitutes the Leader at Kingman.
George Flick, who is known to many of you, now publishes the Kinsley Mercury.
Back in 73 Al Phenis was a student. For years he has been on the various papers of Kansas City, and is now the handsome and versatile city editor of the Times.
Frank Clark, the staunch Orphanian, long on the Kansas City Journal, afterwards Denver Tribune, has lately interviewed Henry Irving for the columns of the Tribune of Chicago.
Will Simpson, formerly of the Kansas Journal, now comes down to Lawrence often on a pass, by virtue of his office in the Santa Fe building at Topeka.
A clear note of some University triumph is often heard from the Mound City *Clarion*, where H. T. Smith handles the bugle pen.
Among those who have not yet lost sight of the University walls are Frank Webster and Will Thacher, till lately of the Journal.
Ever on the alert is John Sullivan, the numerous correspondent and the ubiquitous reporter, who found an item in the Peck-Beecher letter, now filed away with the campaign documents of last fall.
There is a busy man just now bewailing our address and wanting to know if we are wound up for all night. He is the Dean of '84, and was down to K. C. to meet Secretary Bayard with a column or so, and to escort him to the Athens of Kansas, while the eminent alumni straggle in *Heralded* by a line or two.
Ethel Beecher Allen speaks of "uepid and the classics" at such a special time as this, but ordinarily writes beautiful and thrilling stories for the Youths Companion and other magazines.
Preston of Sabetha, Going of Salina, and Armour of Rice County, are all moulding the opinions of state and sounding frequent notes of praise for the University—for which Spangler occasionally sends timely remittances.
There are many who are cherished honorary members of the University press by reason of their frequent good words for the institution, its students and friends. In this class none stand higher than Noble Prentis of the Champion. Mr. Prentis is said to have received his ideas of the "Temptations of Smith" from the boys who climbed Mount Oread in '72 and '73, and whom Noble occasionally wrote up in the police court items of the Journal, but very kindly using names not recognized by the faculty.
Fearing that our toast has long since burned black, we now let it drop, merely adding that perhaps the brightest and best of the University Press is exemplified in Florence Finch Kelley, of whose brilliant past career you all know, and of whose future you have most promising prospects. This gifted lady began her master's oration with a sentence which your respondent trusts will serve him to-night at the charitable hands of this audience: "The way of salvation lies along the path of tolerance."
The billiard halls largely await the return of the students and professors.
Book canvassing seems to be the most common occupation of the industrious student.
Phi Gamma Delta Reunion.
The prospects are that there will be a large attendance at the University next fall from all over the state.
Tuesday evening of commencement eek, will long be a bright spot in memory's field of the Phi Gammas and their lady friends, who gathered at the beautiful residence of Hon. S. Riggs, one of the brotherhood, everal of the Alumni were present to renew the joys of college life. The members of the Chapter were there to celebrate the very successful year which had been the lot of the fraternity. The young lady friends had assembled to show their friendship and ejoice with their friends. The lawn was handsomely decorated with Chinese lanterns and soon presented an animated appearance. A large dancing platform offered opportunity to those who delight in the maze of the lance, for enjoying themselves to the sweet strains of the Royal Italian Orchestra. All was music and mirth. Everybody was happy. An elegant repast was done ample justice to in a way well known to the Phi Gammas and Phi Gamm friends. Then the round of pleasure was resumed. Waltz followed quadrille, which gave way in turn to other dances, until a very late—or early—hour, brought the last "Sweet Home." The merry company reluctantly departed, and still full of the happiness of the occasion, are never weary relating the good time, the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Riggs, and wishing Phi Gamma Delta many more such joyous reunions.
The University building will be thoroughly cleaned and the floors oiled before school opens.
Atchison will send down a largely increased delegation next year. There will be several young ladies in it.
Rolla Krebbs, a student of three years ago, but now in attendance at the Agricultural college, is spending the vacation at Atchison.
Work will be commenced on the new Natural History building in a few days. It is the intention to get the walls up as far as the second story before cold weather stops the work.
What are we students coming to?
The powers that be not only prohibit our drinking, but now they will license our eating. The occupation tax for boarding house keepers is $5.
Mr. B. W. Woodward is making great improvements in the Baker residence. When it is done it will be one of the finest houses in the state.
Now is the time when the student unconsciously passes his old sweetheart on the home street, and is overcome by a rush of memory about two blocks ahead.
We have received a catalogue of the State Agricultural College. It is very neatly gotten up, and is about half as large as ours. Last year was a very prosperous one, there being over four hundred students enrolled. Sixteen students graduated.
Oread politics are now quiet.
We will have a militia. We also want a song book.
Lawrence seems dead without the students.
The new frat will loom up in the fall.
Boating is a favorite amusement for the students who remain in Lawrence.
