Bruce is rusticating at his home in Brunswick, Mo. It is understood he has been tendered the principalship of the colored schools of Leavenworth for the coming year. He will probably go to Columbia or Yale for a law course, however.
Our old friend Albert S. Riffle is now draughtsman and assistant to Mr.H.D.Bush, engineer in charge of the truss bridge of the Northern Pacific. The work is much more difficult than the same work in the east, as the country is so unlike our eastern states.

Dean, who has ably filled the position of city editor of the Herald-Tribune for the past year, severed his connection with that paper Saturday evening to accept the city editorship on the Lawrence Journal. Thoroughly loyal to the interests of his employers, and conscientious in all respects, his loss will be severely felt by the Herald-Tribune. His energy and ability will prove to be one of the elements of success to the Journal, as well as to himself. To use the words of an experienced journalist, he is a man that "makes no mistakes." Admitted by some, personally liked by others and respected by all, he will undoubtedly do well, and we sincerely wish him success in his new field.—Gazette.

To Whom it May Concern:
For the six months past the regular issue of the WEEKLY COURIER has been 1,000 copies.
H. A. CUTLER, Publisher.
The above explains itself. Claiming one of the largest circulations of any college paper in the United States, we respectfully ask all papers to publish as above certified issues.
Professor Wileox, the new professor of Greek, promises to make that department boom.
The State of Kansas needs a medical college, and it should be located at the State University.

About 5,000 of these have been printed, and if all are properly distributed, there will be but very few able bodied men in Kansas who have not heard of the State University ere the fall term opens.
There have been three colleges founded in Kansas this summer, and still there's more to follow.
The matter of having a military instructor for next year must not be dropped. Let the board of regents at their next meeting take some action thereon.
Next year will be a critical one in the history of the literary societies. Last year they seemed to have lost their power as literary factors in college life, and degenerated into political arenas and social gatherings.
--well this summer, for in addition to the pamphlets already mentioned, they have gotten out the annual catalogue in an abridged form and are sending them out freely to the Normal institutes throughout the State. About 5,000 of these have been printed, and if all are properly distributed, there will be but very few able bodied men in Kansas who have not heard of the State University ere the fall term opens.
Every student of last year expecting to return this year could with proper attention, and should bring a friend with him on his return. Every student should use her or his influence in enlarging the enrollment of K. S. U.
Athletics for the year 85-86 must not be neglected as they were in 84-85. If a half dozen men will take hold of the matter with the determination to make it a success, any form of athletic sports can be made to excel in K. S. U.
The University of Kansas offers the same educational facilities as the oldest college in the country, and the students have a better opportunity to learn the duties of manhood and womanhood, and grow up to be true Americans and loyal children of Kansas.
It is very evident that the University authorities intend to advertise
--there is the cheap girl. She goes unmurmuringly with her escort to all the free lectures, the college reception and the chancellor's supper, feeling thankful if he pays for a dish of ice cream during commencement week. Again we have the moderate miss. She costs the price of an occasional opera ticket, a class party and an evening's drive. Next comes the common sense society girl. She goes to the balls, attends the opera, jauntly throws back her hat and helps pull on the oars, often takes the lines in her own hands and is the head and front of everything that has fun for its object. She is a delicious luxury, but somewhat expensive. Lastly comes the "high-flyer," whose extravagance of other people's money is only limited by the limit of the limitless. She trudges down town through the mud three times a day, but must have a hack every time she goes with her "fellah." Her cost is uncertain, but may be put down at "all you've got."
A circular calling attention to the department of pharmacy has just been issued by the University. It gives the course of study for that department, the terms for admission and the requirements necessary to secure a degree from this department. It contains about ten pages, and should be read by all pharmacists of the State. Address, Chancellor Lippincott or E. C. Little, Secretary, for a copy.
We Want College Songs This Year.
We want a few more productions suitable to K. S. U. for college songs. We make a liberal offer for excellence in such. Some more members of our alumni favor us. We desire to publish them the first week in September.
The Next Step.
Every session of the legislature brings fresh proof of the defects of the present plan of securing the annual support for the University. True, the last legislature was exceptionally generous in its appropriations, but none the less was evident the ill-advisedness of submitting to a body of general law-makers the decision as to the internal expenditures of a large institution of learning.
Every year we are wont to say:
"Hereafter there will be no sticking on the University bills," but every new year sees much of it, much humiliating "working" for the bill, many questionable tricks and trades.
If the standing of the University has come to be such as to challenge penuriousness and spite, then why not frankly ask the next legislature to establish a regular rate of income for the institution, and set a precedent which will soon become as good as an amendment to the constitution? In other words, has not the time come to secure for the support of Kansas State University the same basis as that which makes Michigan University so prosperous? The Courier believes, with many of the coolest headed and most earnest friends of the institution, that the time has come, and that organized effort should be made to that end.
Such a tax would keep just pace with the growth of the State; growing as the State grows, shrinking when the State grows poor. It has been supposed by some that such a plan could be worked out only by incorporating the proposal into the constitution, but in Michigan the legislature passes the same law each session.
The present valuation of State property is $247,000,000. A levy of one-sixth of a mill on the dollar would give an income of $41,000, about what will be necessary for each of the next two years.
We call the attention of old students and all friends of the University to this suggestion.
Chur of Greek.
We understand that Alex. M. Wilcox, Ph. D., of Baltimore, has been selected for professor of Greek in the University of Kansas. Dr. Wilcox is a native of Baltimore, a man of about thirty-five years of age, an accurate scholar, successful teacher. He graduated (A. B.) at Yale in 1877, pursued post-graduate studies in Greek, Sanskrit and Comparative Philology, for which he received the degree Ph. D. at Yale, in 1880. He has had eminent success as a teacher, having taught in all six years, of which three were as professor of Greek in one of the best New England colleges. He then went abroad for purposes of further study, and spent a year in Athens in the study of Greek, Archaeology and Modern Greek. He speaks Modern Greek fluently. He also is acquainted with French, German and Italian. He will enter upon the duties of his professorship at the opening of the Fall term.
Chair of Greek.
Among those who have recommended Dr. Wilcox to the board of regents as eminently qualified for the professorship of Greek, are President Noah Porter, of Yale College, President Beech, of Wesleyan University, Professor Bloomfield, of Johns Hopkins. He is also heartily endorsed by Prof. Whitney and Prof. Dana, of Yale College.
A leading educator of New England writes to Chancellor Lippincott of Dr. Wilcox as follows:
"If you secure Mr. A. M. Wilcox as professor in Greek, you will have one of the best teachers of Greek that the State of Kansas has ever had." (The undersigned are in the original letter:) "So much for my opinion of Mr. Wilcox, as a well equipped, enthusiastic, inspiring teacher of Greek. He has not many superiors so far as my knowledge goes.
As to the man, he is a gentleman of good personal appearance, excellent address, familiar with all the forms of good society, easy and uniform in his observance of them and wanting nothing in this department of scholarly endowment."
He is evidently a ripe scholar, and should be extended a cordial reception by our students.
The Cost of a "Girl."
“Without a girl, $225; with a girl,
$450.”
Such is the estimate, laconically expressed, of University expenses, sent by an alumnus to an inquiring father. The father decided that he didn't care for a school where the "girls" formed so expensive a feature in the bill of fare, and so will send his son to a college where coeducation does not exist.
The estimate certainly has the merit of novelty. It takes cognizance, huge cognizance, of an item of expense not mentioned in the catalogue; an item, moreover, we must admit, that does exist. But the estimate given is unfair, outrageously unfair.
There is the girl who does not go out. She don't cost anything. Then
If this matter of "girls"—and we bitterly protest against the dragging of such sweet things as girls into the vulgar subject of college expenses—must be considered, let us be fair. Let us discriminate.
But taking the subject seriously—if such a thing as a girl can be taken seriously—this feature of college expenses need not be feared. The father who took alarm at the figures and will send his son to "a school for gentlemen only," will learn his mistake. If his son is of sedentary habits, he would come here and not let the matter of "girls" bother him. If he loves society he will go in society and spend money for society, whatever school he attends. Such enjoyment costs less at a co-educational school than at any other. Who imagines that a Harvard man spends less on the girls than a K. S. U. student? Moreover, in a co-educational institution there is not that drinking, gaming and carousing, all so costly, to be found in other schools. Afability, courtesy, politeness, self confidence and pleasing address, cultivated by association with the gender sex, all have a high monetary value in the business world. Many a man could well afford to spend $225, or double or treble that sum in order that his son might acquire these qualities. So throwing aside all sentiment, from a cold money point of view, a "girl," especially a college "girl," is worth many times her cost.
A Correction.
EDITUR COURIER—There was a misstatement in your July number in the article "Militia," which should be corrected as publicly as it was made. I did not say that I had corresponded with Senator Plumb, but merely referred to the letter to Regent Fitzpatrick, published in your commencement number, wherein Senator Plumb promised to do what he could to secure the detail of an officer for a company at the University.
As I understand the matter at present, the board of regents must take the initiative in a request preferred of the war department. Senator Plumb will use his influence to have it granted.
W. H. CARRUTH.
Cuss It!
We think the professor too modest. In general enterprise every student of the K. S. U. knows he is not excelled by any member of the faculty, and if he did not happen to attend to the above correspondence, we know he was one of the first movers in the matter of a militia. Ed.
He cussed! Yea, verily, a professor cussed! He cussed loudly. He cussed rapidly. He cussed vigorously. He cussed the Courier.
We liked it. We enjoyed it. We imbibed freely. Not that we are a lover of the profane. Why, we even shun "profane history." That's why we got so low a grade in it last May. However, we enjoyed this special ebullition of profanity—this professorial conjugation of verbs not usually mentioned in the class-room.
Now, this professor is a learned professor. He is at the head of an excellent department. He is a splendid teacher—a favorite of his pupils. The COURIER had said this several times. We had referred to it in our local columns, blazoned it in our personalis and devoted several editorials to the fact. But the professor didn't seem to notice these commendations. He didn't even say "thank you." We began to fear he didn't read his copy of the religious weekly, and that made us feel very bad.
Good people often cuss. George Washington cussed. Even pious old Ethan Allen was known, on rare occasions, to cuss. Andrew Jackson, a former president of these United States, sometimes used strong language. Then why shouldn't professors cuss? Our professor in question cussed because we told an unpleasant thing, and it was read far and wide, as all Courier items are. He was mad, and being mad, cussed. We won't mention his name. If he keeps quiet no one will know who it is. The first one to squeal will give himself away, and he may not be the right man after all. Moreover, we think a great deal more of him for the cussing, because that showed us he was a man of vitality, and read a good newspaper.
By and by, however, a very discreditable fact came to our knowledge from his department. We mentioned it. The professor cussed. We felt glad. We now know that he reads his paper. We now know that the Courier is a paper of great influence; for hasn't he told us that we hurt him and hurt his department in the eyes of every student and every business man; told us this in the most expressive Anglo-Saxon? Being a religious paper, we refrain from giving his exact language. It was grammatically and rhetorically correct, but wouldn't do to speak on the streets of Boston, where swearing is prohibited by statute.
It is an old saying that a great man, by reason of being great, invariably has enemies; and a great newspaper, even a great religious college weekly (price 50 cents a year in advance), gets cussed.
A paper that is always saying goody things doesn't amount to much. In our Courier salutatory we said we intended to call things by their right names. Therein, we think, lies the secret of our success; and therefor we get cussed. Had we devoted our columns to dry orations and flattering notices of everybody and everything, we might not have had over a thousand circulation, and not have entered over half the families of Lawrence. But as it is!
The new professor of Greek has the reputation of being one of the most finished scholars in the country.

A State Medical College. The mitigation of disease and the promotion of the public health are founded on the most urgent and constant needs of the public. Sanitary conditions wrong, and disease prevails. Charlatan doctors to deal with disease, suffering and death ensue. It hardly needs to be said that the field of medical and sanitary work is one of the most vital importance, and primal to most other fields of human activity. The training of candidates for the practice of medicine, then, is also an important department in education, and when it is considered that illiberality and looseness in the training operates most baneful effects on the people, it appears supremely important that this training should be the most thorough possible. If the highest function of State government is the protection of its people, then it appears that in this it has a high function to perform, and no prerogative can the State claim more justly than the exercise of this function; and this function can be no more effectively exercised than through a strong medical department in the State University. In this State a law department has long been maintained in the University; likewise a department of civil engineering and a department of didactics. These have proved very efficient, and certainly have a mission; but if the State must omit one of these departments, can some one explain why it should be the medical department? It occurs to us that the state, to be consistent, must provide also for the training of its physicians as well as its lawyers, engineers and teachers. There is a large demand for a State medical school, as may be seen in the fact that over three hundred Kansans are taking medical training abroad, some of course in good schools, and very many in very indifferent ones. It seems to us that the next legislature should add to the University a strong medical department, and in which there should be a special chair of sanitary science. — Council Grove Guard.
The Library.
Prof. Miller is devoting the summer to the work of indexing the library. This work was commenced by Prof. Tyler, but in the few months which he was employed he could only make a beginning and leave it for others to finish. It will not be completed this summer, but some of the departments most used will be indexed, and the others will be finished during the year. When done it will make the library of advantage to those who now scarcely use it, and will increase its usefulness to all students tenfold.
The new books are being placed upon the shelves. About 800 volumes will be purchased this summer.
The local contest for the State oratorical contest should be held this year not later than December 1st, and the State contest the week preceding the holidays. The Inter-State contest will this year be held in our own state, and we should make special effort to give our representative a chance to rank up well. To do this he must have the advantage given by all the other states of the association, viz: a few months in which to prepare himself. Let our local organization take immediate action on the opening of school.
Midsummer Meditations.
It is astonishing how college boys long for vacation to close. They wish for the arrival of September as eagerly as all through the Spring they yearned for commencement.
The summer school has not proved a great success. About twenty students entered, all I believe, for the study of languages. Those attending were mostly K. S. U. students, making up back studies or reading ahead on some favorite subject. They report a very prosperous and useful time.
It will be some time before such a school can be made a success to those who have it in hand. People will first have to become acquainted with the plan, the work and the advantages.
* * * * *
Student politicians are supposed to be quiet, but whenever two or three get together the conversation turns to June orators, contest debaters, editors, possible combinations and candidates, all of which brings the fact plainly before me that college politics is getting to be a very large and important branch of our curriculum, although sub rosa in the catalogue.
* * * * *
College politics are not necessarily bad. The study of human nature, the cultivation of popularity, the knowledge of congressional practice gained, all unite to give importance to politics.
* * * * *
But last year this agreeable study was somewhat too popular among a few. Petty jealousies and quarrels arose, and bad feeling followed, which I am sure will bring only remorse to the young men in more mature years.
* * * * *
The students who have been canvassing for Prof. Spring's History of Kansas have had varying success Those who stayed where they were known have usually done well, but the book is of such a character that it does not sell well with a general canvasser. The publishers promise its appearance in the last of August.
* * * *
A year ago the prospects for the Courier were not so bright as now. Enemies were menacing in front, on the flank and in the rear. Now there is a grand rush from the hostile ranks to gain seats with the victorious faithful. The latter do not seem to bear ill will, but can afford to be generous. But still they do not seem delirious with delight at the idea of peace, as war has been so pleasant and profitable.
When a student comes to Lawrence during vacation there is a general smile all along the street, from the beautiful young lady from whom he tore himself away in June to the belligerent washwoman who has a little bill. I believe Lawrence people appreciate students when they are away better than when in town. At least they seem very glad over the nearing return of the "stujent."
* * * *
A member of '85, who contemplates the study of law, addressed letters to several prominent lawyers
* * * * *
asking their advice as to the benefits arising from studying law in an office and taking it in a law school. Among others I select two replies as typical. The first from a judge of the Kansas supreme court is: "Do not think of studying law without first spending some time in an attorney's office." Next from a judge of the U. S. court: "Go to a law school first; an office is not the place to study law." Who shall decide when lawyers disagree?

From the number of catalogues sent out, and amount of information given, I think the prospect for a big attendance next year is good. This is a hard year, and that fact will keep many away. The dropping of another year of the preparatory will give Baldwin another chance. But the students who do come will rank high in classes. SMITH.
A neat little pamphlet of about twenty pages has just been issued by the law department, giving full and accurate information in regard to the work of that department during the coming year. About two thousand of them have been published, and they will be sent out at once from the University office, to the bar of the State, prospective students and all others interested in that department, as far as possible.
The prospect for a good attendance next Fall is very encouraging, and no effort will be spared by those in charge to make the work of the department practical and efficient. The course of study has been enlarged and rearranged, and some new text books have been adopted. A good law school cannot be built up in a year or a few years, but we feel safe in saying that in the next few years the foundation will be laid of that, which if it receives the proper support, will grow into one of the best law schools in the country.

Mr. EDITOR:—In the last issue of your estimable paper we noticed an interesting item upon several proposed additions to our college course. We desire that the readers of your journal should know that such an addition is not intended. We do not consider it advisable to add the languages to our well established curriculum of study. Our object is to thoroughly equip "young America" so that he may war and win all contests in the commercial world.
We plan the work of our institution upon the supposition that all graduates are to cast their lot with the American nation, and consequently we cannot but regard the Latin, French and Spanish languages as unnecessary to the strictly commercial course. However, we have aside from the commercial department, a preparatory department of the Lawrence Business College. We find many of our students desirous of entering the commercial department are deficient in the common branches, and we cannot conscientiously allow them to attempt on business practice unless they possess a good practical knowledge of reading, spelling, grammar, arithmetic and geography. This department, then, is designed for those who find it necessary to brush up in the common English branches.
Our aim is not to supplant but to supplement the work of the literary college, therefore we refer all desirous of pursuing the languages, to the University of our State, of which we are all so justly proud.

assembly and in the various departments were animated, enjoyable and able.
Last Monday morning four of the young lady students with gentlemen friends went up the river to spend the day. About 3 P, M. a terrific thunder storm came up. They sought shelter at Mr. Cameron's, but were driven away, and forced to go half a mile to the next house. Before they reached this they were drenched through, and were literally "as wet as a rag." Howe Lowe spirited Miss S. felt tongue cannot tell, but she says it will take more than Ropes to drag her to a picnic up the river again.
The Lawrence and Atchison Business College have just issued a most artistic and neatly arranged catalogue. It contains a full and clear description of the course of study, items of general information about the colleges and several articles of interest upon business education, besides a full list of the students in attendance during the past year—over four hundred in number. These colleges are certainly thorough and standard institutions, and deserving of the increased patronage they receive every year.
The Commercial Educator, a journal of interest and profit to all, is the title of a well edited periodical just received. It contains many interesting articles upon education and success in the financial world. Most of S. S. Packard's address before the Business Educator's Association, held at Jacksonville, Ill., July 9, 1885, is given in full. This address is upon the American Business College. It is practical, to the point, contains a vast deal of importance and is exceptionally well written. The Educator is published quarterly at Lawrence, Kansas, and is well worth 40 cents a year, the subscription price. Sample copy will be sent upon application.
S. T. Field & Co., with their usual enterprise, expect to extend unusual inducements in the book line the coming year. Every student, on his arrival in Lawrence, should at once give their grand book emporium a call. Ever recognized as the student's friends, they deserve the most kindly consideration this coming year. Before buying your books be sure to give them a call. They will extend you the best bargains to be secured in the city. Address them for their catalogue of school books.

"Why, I have tried to every way I know. The other evening I was sitting on the sofa, and Mr. Smith was sitting on a chair in the other end of the room, as usual, when I called his attention to the marvelous fact that a man's arm and a woman's waist are the same length. And then what do you suppose he did?"
"O,terribly!"
"Well, you ought to encourage him," was the advice of mamma.

To When it Went Concern.
To Whom it May Concern:
For the six months past the regular issue of the Weekly Courier has been 1,000 copies.
H. A. CUTLER, Publisher.
The Senior prep will be lonesome next year.
University students came to the front in institute work this summer.
Chapel attendance should be made more compulsory than it was last year.
Students who were going to make up back studies are "beginning to get ready."
As the prep department vanisheth the grade of the Lawrence high school is raised.
WANTED, by the State University of the great state of Kansas, a Medical Department.
The members of the literary societies who are on the first program should put their best foot foremost.
The students should form a good organization to aid in the erection of a Grant monument at Leavenworth.
The time approaches when the University student becomes a live quetion to the Lawrence merchant and washwoman.
The board of regents at their next meeting must not neglect to take proper steps for the securing of a military instructor.
Let every student complete arrangements with his local paper to furnish Lawrence and K. S. U. news for the coming year.
In order not to be out of the fashion of our other metropolitan rivals we would like to suggest a monument to Grant for the University campus.
The lecture course committee have invited Hon. J. B. McCullagh, managing editor of the Globe Democrat. to deliver his lecture on "Modern Journalism" here during the year. The Courier hopes he will accept.
$100,000!
Yes, that is a big sum. It was what Lawrence gave the State for a University. It was what Lawrence asked back from the State. It was what Lawrence got back from the State. It is a sum Lawrence people are apt to remember.
There is another and greater reason why the men in Lawrence, and particularly Lawrence business men, should remember that amount. On a low average, 400 students come here annually. On a low average, these 400 students spend $250 each in Lawrence every year. If one student spends $250 a year, 400 students will spend 400 times $250, or $100,000. At least that's the way Ray's arithmetic used to put it. Business men, is it a matter of importance to you who gets this trade?
"That's a bid for an ad," says the merchant who reads this. Well, suppose it is a bid! The sooner he takes the bid the better off he will be. The men who are popular with the students are those who advertise in the student's paper. We will wager a hundred dollars to one on this proposition. Take Billie Bromelsick and Abe Levy for instance. Those two men have used the Courier liberally, and what is more, know how to get up an ad in attractive shape. As a result they have the boy's trade, while others along the street keeping the same line of goods get little or none of it. We don't like to be personal, but mention these names as examples. Take another instance, where we can be just as personal and not mention names. There is a clothing merchant in Lawrence who has never yet spent a nickle on a college ad. There is another merchant who has always advertised freely. What is the result? The one don't get five dollars from the students in that many years, and the other has a big college patronage. What is better, the fact is so palpable that every student who reads these lines knows just whom we mean
Merchants of Lawrence, we ask you to give us nothing. If you get the student's trade you must advertise with them. If you don't want their patronage we don't want your ads. Hereafter we shall oppose every college scheme that includes begging from the merchants, whether it be for athletics or commencement prizes or anything else. Students have no claim that warrants this begging. If Mr. Crew, Mr. Field, Mr. Grovenor or anybody else wishes to offer prizes, well and goud. But they must be voluntary (as they have been), not begged. We feel thankful and grateful to the Lawrence business men for their generous support of the Courier. They have helped up build up what is truthfully, not boastfully, the best college paper in the world. At the same time, we believe we have given every advertiser value received. Again we say, $100,009 spent by students goes to the patrons of the student's newspaper. We stand ready to prove it.
The University needs two new departments and can get them without much trouble. We intend to call for a military instructor and medical college until we have them.
New Departments.
Subscribe for the Courier.
Our students are not given to brag. They work steadily and quietly at their homes, preferring the silent praise of the best results. The reputation which the University has gained throughout the State for common sense workers, the ease with which our students get schools and other situations, show that honest, hard work will win without the boasting.
Advertise the University.
Many of the other schools, especially the normal colleges (?), brag continually, and like little dogs, bark much at us. Many a boy and girl can only judge of the schools by this talk, and hence go to the smaller places. This would do, for all schools are good, but the overpraise of the small school belittles the University so much in their eyes that they will not come to this "small" institution, and the eastern colleges are too costly. All these bright young people should come up to us, and more would if our students would talk more of our facilities, our high rank, our special courses, our thorough work, our famous specialists, our great and growing reputation for work, without brag. We owe it to the youth of the State to tell them of their University. We need not boast, but we should never lose an opportunity to tell the plain truth. The little schools and the denominational colleges, moved by greed for gain, tell all manner of lies about us, and we must meet them with the truth. Use the county paper every week; talk in the Normal Institute, the teachers' meetings, the county fairs and everywhere. Send for catalogues and scatter them in these places. Show the Review and Courrier. Above all, we must tell how cheaply Kansas boys and girls can live here, and what good positions all our students get. Tell fewer of the collegeokes and more of the real work. This is the people's University, and all our Kansas youth should know about it. They do not now. The demand for University students in all situations is even now so great that this institution need not fear; but it is a wrong to Kansas youth to let so many lies and rumors go unchecked. We are proud of the State's great school. Why should we not praise it? Our modesty must not be lost, but a great deal of drag will not destroy that marvelous passport into society and business from Kansas University.
A Patriotic Duty.
In common with all the nation and all the world, we mourn the loss of America's great soldier, statesman and citizen. His life is one to which we as young men just beginning to make our way in the world can look for counsel and example. General Grant is a model for every patriotic American. His devotion to his country, his labor for her cause, his victory for her right, and above all, his pure, unselfish, unceasing patriotism, are the monuments he has left with his countrymen.
At Fort Leavenworth the people of the west are to raise a monument to his memory to testify to their appreciation of his life and work. As western students of a great western University, it is our duty and privilege to aid with all our might in this praiseworthy object. An inter-State association has been formed to take
charge of the scheme. Well known men are at the head. As soon as the Fall session opens a sub-organization should be at once formed to direct the contributions of the students of the University of Kansas. Knowing our boys—and girls—as we do, we have no doubt that they will at once take the matter in hand. Think it over at your homes. Come back next month prepared to take active part in the work. Come back full of enthusiasm, and Kansas University will be honored by its sons and daughters as they honor the grand old hero.
We clip the following from Sol Miller's Troy Chief.
"We call attention to the advertisement of the State University, in this issue. We have just received the catalogue of the Law Department of the University, which has been in successful operation for a number of years, the graduates representing all parts of the country. We have also received a pamphlet on the Pharmacy Department, which was provided for by the Legislature last winter, and which will commence at the next term. Both pamphlets contain information of value to students."
The Topeka Capital says :
"The annual catalogue of the Law Department of our State University is just out. It is a handsome document of twenty-four pages, and a very excellent showing indeed. It will be remembered that the legislature of 1885, recognizing the needs of our great and growing commonwealth, made a largely increased appropriation for the law school. The board of regents have accordingly enlarged its faculty and provided other means of increasing its usefulness. Hon. J. W. Green, the dean of the law school, will hereafter give his whole time to the work, and his success in the past, in the face of many difficulties, makes certain an abundant success in the future. Seventy-three students have been enrolled in the department since its organization, and the first class graduated in 1880. The faculty now consists of five members, and the school is evidently fairly on its feet."
We call attention to the pleasing announcement on the fourth page, of the Western National Fair, at Bismarck grove this year. The Secretary, Hon. R. W. Cunningham, is a warm friend of the University, and will be sure to have attractions interesting and instructing to our students. The fair promises to be the largest and best ever held in the State. The secretary says the date was fixed for the benefit of the students on their return. It should and will as a result, have a good patronage from them.
Latin Assistant.
Miss Rudolph, of Cleveland, Ohio, has been selected by the board of regents as Prof. Robinson's assistant in Latin.
Miss Rudolph, in scholarship and successful experience in teaching, comes highly recommended. She should receive a warm welcome.
Girls and Parlors.
If given mere attention every boy and girl returning to school this year could have his local paper sent to the K. S. U. reading room. Call your editor's attention to the matter.
"It's just awful! We wont stand it! If we girls can't use the parlor, we wont come here to school."
The import of this threat on the part of a representative K. S. U. belle is of alarming importance. It demands investigation and action. We wish to say nothing against Lawrence boarding mistresses, inasmuch as we owe them for two or three years board. But between the boarding mistress and the girls, we will take the side of the girls—that is, we will get as near to their side as the proprieties of the occasion will allow.
What are the girls to do? They have their gentlemen friends. If the boarding mistresses refuse the parlor, where are the said gentlemen friends to go? It would be an unwarranted breach of decorum for the girls to receive company in their private rooms. The kitchen smacks too much of servant girl style, even if it were not already preoccupied by the hired girl. The lawn is out of question for winter, and in summer the neighbors can see and hear too much there. It seems, then, an absolute necessity that the girls should have the parlor.
It is evident that the conditions elsewhere are different from what they are here. Why should our University girls be denied the use of the parlor? "Perhaps it's because you burn too much gas," I ventured to suggest to the K. S. U. belle. "No, that's not it," she replied; "we don't burn much gas; in fact, we would rather not have the gas at all. It hurts the eyes, you know." To make the matter worse, a number of boarding mistresses have put barb wire on their gates, thus injuring the feelings of the girls and their callers.
To learn the custom and usage in this matter, we addressed perfumed (musk) notes of inquiry to ladies of different Kansas colleges. We have arrived at that mature age when we could do this with propriety. The Bethany girl writes us that they allow her the privilege of the parlor, but the trouble is they wont allow her company the same privilege. Says the Washburn representative, "There are no parlors up here. We attend to all such things in the chapel." The Baker girl's writing was hard to decipher, but here is her answer verbatim: "Yes, we gets the parlers and has the fellers, but our teachers must be in the room with us, and we has to sit on different sides of the room, which haint no nice way of doing it." We agree with her. A schoolmarm of the Emporia Normal writes: "The parlors are under our complete control. The great difficulty is the boys won't call, as they say we are too young. I'm sure I'm 38, and most of the other girls are older; and I think that is old enough, don't you? Come down and see me, and we'll have the parlors all to ourselves." We would like much to accept the invitation, but our editorial work is very pressing, and we don't think we can get away for about sixteen years.
There are no two ways about the parlor question. Lawrence must have the University. The University must have the girls. The girls must have their company. The company must have parlors. Ergo, ___.

College Presidents.
Public attention has been drawn this year, in a very unusual degree, to the presidents of our colleges. The changes that have lately taken place have been very many. There have been resignations by President Lee, of Washington and Lee University; President Sturtevant, of Illinois College; President White, of Cornell University, and President Caldwell, of Vassar College. The appointments to college presidencies have been many more, among them those of the Rev. Dr. Duryea, of Boston, to Union; the Rev. Wm. D. Hyde, of Paterson, N. J., to Bowdoin; the Rev. D. O. Mears, D. D., of Worcester, Mass., to Iowa; the Rev. Galusha Anderson, D. D., of Chicago, to Vassar; W.W. Prescott, Esq., of Burlington, Vt., to Battle Creek College, Mich.; the Rev. John Kershaw, of Bound Brook, N. J., to Tillotson University, Texas, and Prof. C.K. Adams, of Michigan, to Cornell. This is a very remarkable list, and yet undoubtedly is not full. Marietta College is seeking a president, and the announcement of his election may be made at any time.
It would not seem that changes in college presidencies are more frequent than formerly. We appear to be in a transitional period as regards the policy of our colleges in regard to methods of instruction and administration, and in consequence, there is an unseiness and a critical spirit regarding college presidents, which did not formerly exist. There are sharp discussions regarding the relation of the president to the other members of the faculty, the propriety of self government among the students, the position of Greek and Latin in the college curriculum, the political attitude of the college. These and other questions bring the president, as the especial representative of the institution, under close inspection, and subject him, not infrequently, to harsh criticism. His character and ability are not so apt to be called in question as the policy he represents. Our colleges are growing more and more domestic. The faculty demand more voice in the administration of affairs. The students have had a taste, at Amherst and elsewhere, of self government, and like it. Then further, the competition between colleges has increased, and the financial problem has grown more difficult. The president is judged by his ability to secure endowments quite as much as by his scholarship and power as an instructor. In consequence of all this, the position of a college president has come to be one of anxiety. It is, indeed, a place of very great honor, of the very best social standing, of wide reputation, of extended influence, of delightful opportunities for study. It is not strange, therefore, that men will willingly sacrifice large pecuniary advantages for the sake of the position, and submit to the meager compensation which goes with it. At the same time it is less and less a sinecure. "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." Within a very few years not less than six prominent college presidents have been under the fire of adverse criticism. Three were obliged to withdraw in consequence, one held his place under great difficulties, and two are now in the midst of the battle.
Rare gifts are evidently essential
for these commanding positions. One must be not simply a scholar, an instructor and a disciplinarian; he must be an administrator, a financier, a man among men, a man of tact. One of the great New York dailies, in commenting on the election of Dr. Duryea to the presidency of Union College, in a tone of somewhat lofty condescension says, that Dr. Duryea will do as well as any clergyman who could be induced to accept the place, but that clergymen do not make the best college presidents. In view of the fact that the practice from time immemorial in this country has been to give the preference to clergymen for such positions, that multitudes of our more successful college presidents like Woolsey, Porter, Hopkins, Seelye, Magoun, Angell and McCosh, among our educators are clergymen; that Yale, Williams, Amherst, Dartmouth, Princeton and other colleges, have attained their present honorable position through a long line of clerical presidents, one is hardly able to regard this editorial dictum as seriously intended. Surely the training of a clerical life does not unfit one for the position.
It is undoubtedly true, however, that our college trustees are breaking over traditional lines in this respect, and do not hesitate to choose for presidents those who though not clergymen, have marked qualifications or the place. General Lee, of Washington and Lee University, General Chamberlain of Dowdoin, President White of Cornell, President Carter of Williams, are illustrations of this fact. But in another particular are college trustees deviating from the ancient practice. They are at east experimenting—and so far very successfully—with those who are young for presidents. President Gates of Rutgers, and President Carter of Williams, are young men, and remarkably successful in infusing new life into the institutions of which they have taken charge. President Tyde is only twenty-seven. Miss Freeman, the brilliant president of Wellesley, not yet (if a guess is not impertinent) out of her twenties, is the peer of gray-headed men in her ability to manage a great institution of learning. It may be wise policy to take one of evident promise and et him grow into his place. He has ambitions and adaptability not always found in an older man. He is not so likely to be self-willed, and to comm conflict with established preceents. At the same time, he is it fullest sympathy with the youth who gather about him, and can fire then with enthusiasm, and catch with them the spirit of the age. —N. Y. Independent.
The department of pharmacy will be a great addition to the University. There is every probability of a large enrollment. By law, hereafter in this State, every druggist must be a registered pharmacist, and as this is the only school in the State and there is but one other west of the Mississippi, students of pharmacy will flock to K.S.U. Kansas is building a University which will have no superior and few equals. The pharmaceutical department will be very useful and prosperous.

Answer. Reliable persons who can do some one thing well.
Question. Who are always in demand?
Business men are in search of those whom it will pay to employ. Young men and women are seeking engagements while lacking in ability to do any one thing skillfully.
Business life affords the widest field for desirable employment. Special training is required for all branches of business. Those who are looking forward to good situations, should be able to give positive and affirmative answers to such questions as the following:
Are you an expert bookkeeper?
Can you write a neat, legible, rapid, business hand?
can you write in commercial calculations?
can you speak and write the English language correctly?
Can you compose a good business letter?
Do you understand commercial law?
Are you acquainted with the forms and obligations of commercial paper?
Are you familiar with counting-room practice?
Do you understand commercial law?
Can you operate the type writer?
Can you write shorthand?
Do you know when out of work you cannot successfully compete with others, unless you are their superiors in attainment?
If you are better fitted than the average young man or woman to do that which is implied by these questions, there is room for you in the world of business! If not, what can you expect? To fit you, in the best manner, and with the least expenditure of time and money, is the work of the

Boys and Girls Not Rich.
There is a general public opinion that it costs a great deal of money to go to college. Many boys and girls want to make themselves more manly and womanly by a higher education, but are discouraged by parents and friends. Now any one acquainted with any college will tell you that any healthy boy or girl who will work, can graduate from any school, even Johns Hopkins. He may have no money, but he can earn some by teaching, or in other ways, to start with, and then he will find opportunities—tutorships, janitorships, monitorships, doing chores, working at his trade, or even staying out of school a year to teach and earn money. He generally gets through as soon as the richer boy, and never takes more than a third more time.
In Kansas University one-third of the students pay all their expenses, two-thirds pay a part, and the other third are not rich and have to economize. Here are some figures as to the total cost for six college years of forty weeks each, given by one of our graduates, now editor of a city daily: $65, $120, $225, $300, $350, $400. After the first year he earned his own way, finding plenty of opportunities, and earning enough to live more luxuriously.
One of our janitors paid his way at a cost of $200 per year, and lived well.
Another janitor economized more and paid $175 per year, using the rest of his earnings to help educate another student.
A school teacher started with $300,
and stayed out of school to teach and
taught institutes in the summer. It
cost him $160, $180, $240, $300,
$350.
A civil engineer earned his way by working in a livery stable. You can get an education if you are not too lazy. Even poor health will not prevent if you take more time.
Now how to start. Get through your district school. Then either study at home or go to some high school and get ready for sub-Freshman year. You must study arithmetic, algebra, U. S. history and constitution, descriptive and physical geography and English grammar before you come here. You can get the rest here. Use your home schools first. If you are near a normal or business college, take all you can there that will help you here. You can live cheaper at home, and find more chances for work. Hold on to will your home acquaintances, for you go back to work there. If your life work is teaching, graduate at Emporia State Normal before coming here. Earn $200 and come. Don't write to the University professors for work, but come and find it for yourself. Teaching or some trade is the best thing you can do to earn money. No one will help you through. You must rely on yourself. You must expect hard knocks and rigid economy at first; plain clothes and little social life. But he who endures overcomes. You will soon learn how to do the hardest work with both mind and body. Ability to work hard is what the business world pays for, and this is the aim of a college course. Thus you will have the very best education. So come up here with us. Kansas wants the hardened vim and trained ability of her poor boys and girls. She pays the professors to teach you. Come pn, we want you.

VIEWS.
EDITOR VIEWS:—I wonder if in this warm summer weather a View on camping out would please your readers. I am now camping in a beautiful grove called Sleepy Hollow, situated near Tiblow, 22 miles east from Lawrence, on the U. P. railroad. Some months ago the proprietor, John McDanield, discovered iron springs here. Though not yet prepared for a summer resort, Mrs. McDanield asked a party of her young friends to camp here for a couple of weeks.
R. W. CUNNINGHAM, Secretary.
two leg cats, white washed wom and without, are built in primitive style. On a knoll fronting the south, about 120 yards away are eight of the springs. Several others are across a knoll to the west. It is a delightful place to recline in a hammock swing under the rustling trees, and read or think one's self to sleep. Not far off is Wolf Creek, where one may catch a nice mess of fish for supper. The pure air and sunshine gives one an appetite for meals at all hours. Nothing goes begging from crackers and cheese to sardines and cherry pie. For a party of students who have a week or two in which to recruit for another year's hard study, this is the very place. Our party has averaged fifteen, although there have been over thirty here at different times. Among these were the following students: Mrs. Nellie Shepherd, nee Reid, formerly of '85; Alice and Ella Ropes, '87; Chas. F. Foley '84, and Chas. Simpson, '87.

Camp Greaseupthefryingpan.
SQUEGEE CANON, COLORADO.
DEAR COURIER: Having successfully accomplished our mule-team journey from Kansas to the Rockies, and being comfortably camped in a cozy canon fifty miles from Nowhere and thirty-seven and one-half from Peterson's sheep ranche, and surrounded by snow drifts, evergreen forests and precipitous mountains, we thought it fitting to write that promised letter, and thus inform our many anxious friends of our whereabouts. I can but marvel that so many students will scorch and wither away during the hot summer months, when at so small an expense they can spend the summer climbing the Rockies, chasing the deer, the bear and the wapiti from their native haunts, bearing pure,fresh, invigorating air, drinking cool, gushing water as it comes rippling down the craggy slopes, and in so doing gain health and strength preparatory to the great work before them.
Arriving at Peterson's ranche toward the latter part of June, we spent a few days enjoying the scenes about us, then procuring the services of four burros, we packed the beasts preparatory to an extended trip in unknown parts. The first day proved
full of tribulations. Scarcely were we started when a misty fog enveloped us, and our trail was soon lost. This, together with the fact that the packs would persist in slipping off, made matters very sad. It was five o'clock P. M. when wet, tired and hungry, with feet blistered, we reached a suitable camping place. One of the boys thought we must be forty miles from the ranche. Others thought it could not be less than sixty. And one poor comrade entertained the delusion that we had pressed beneath the soles of our feet the mud of one hundred miles that day. I judged we had traveled thirty. We were gathered around a rousing campfire drying ourselves, and each ravenously devouring a chunk of burned bread and fried bacon, when we heard the brush cracking in a neighboring quaking asp grove. The simultaneous impulse of course, was that bears were after us. Each man who retained his presence of mind grabbed his gun for the battle. Presently a small herd of cows merged from the grove, driven by Peterson's boy, who informed us that we were ten yards from the trail, and that a tramp of three quarters of a mile would take us back to the ranche. Although our days travel had been a fizzle, we were sufficiently plucky to hang up where we were that night and try again next day.
Four days travel brought us to apparently good hunting grounds. Here we decided to remain one week. Trout were plenty, and we never lacked for squirrels and grouse. But I know you are anxious to hear about our bear hunt. As soon as we were settled the first thing in order of course, was a hunt, and we could think of hunting nothing smaller than bears. So bright and early, with Winchester and shot guns, and a good supply of grub and ammunition, we started. We didn't know where we were going exactly, but we were going to hunt bears. The foremous passed off very pleasantly as we tramped along talking, singing, and laughing. At eleven o'clock we halted for dinner on the east slope of a canon, near the edge of a meadow. Before we were through one of our chums saw an animal grazing on the other side of the canon. Exactly what it was we could not make out, but concluded it must be a deer. As we neared the place one of the boys exclaimed in breathless excitement: "It's a big black bear; don't you see it yonder?" And sure enough, not two hundred yards distant, could be seen the back of the beast as it moved along the edge of the willows. As I was the only crack shot in the crowd the shooting fell to me. I aimed steadily and fired. From the way the mud and other debris flew in the direction in which the bullet had sped, we knew something was hit. We hastened to the spot and there to
our utter astonishment, lay a poor burro, writhing in its death agonies. We comprehended the situation when not fifty yards distant we perceived the cabin of its owner. Fortunately for us the proprietor was absent. And as the noble steed began to "sleep the sleep that knows no waking," we began to make back steps as lively as our legs could carry us.
The golden sun was sinking behind the snow capped mountains as we decended into the canon from which we had started that morning. As we neared camp we found a huge piece of bacon upon which some monstrous animal had been gnawing. This aroused our curiosity. But alas, when we reached the place where our camp was! A Kansas cyclone could not have produced greater devastation. Our tent had been torn down, the flour sack trailed for five yards around, sugar, coffee, meal, salt, bed clothes, potatoes, everything, lay in utter pandimonium. The younger boys knew it must have been a big niger, because there were his barefooted tracks in the ashes. But scratches and hair upon a neighboring spruce tree told us upon reflection that old bruin had called in our absence, and in as much as he had obtained a good taste of sugar, etc., the best thing we could do was to "take up our bed and walk" before he returned to obtain a taste of us.
I must confess I was the object of considerable mirth for some time after killing the burro, but have redeemed myself since. Concerning the redemption, I shall be obliged to relate to you in the series of papers upon our trip, which I am preparing to read before the Science Club next winter. S.W., &c.

James William Mulvane died at his home in Topeka, Sunday evening, August 9th. Mr. Mulvane was a member of the Freshman class. He made many friends by his gentlemanly manners, who will deeply regret his early death. He was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
The prospects for a large attendance the coming year are most flattering. Better understanding of the needs of students, improved text books, introduction of a new system of actual business practice, which has challenged the unqualified admiration of all business educators and business men who have examined it, as being the simplest, most practical, direct and effective means of illustrating business that has ever been devised, and additions to the teaching force, are some of the advantages awaiting new students of the Lawrence and Atchison Business Colleges.

To Whom it May Concern:
For the six months past the regular issue of the WEEKLY COURIER has been 1,000 copies.
H. A. CUTLER, Publisher.
Four months ago we published the above with the claim of the largest circulation of any college paper in the United States. We called for certified circulations. In this time the highest certified list we received from nearly one hundred exchanges was 900. Until further notice we will now in large type attest THE LARGEST COLLEGE JOURNAL CIRCULATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Midsummer Number.
This issue contains some views of Lawrence places, which will be of interest to new students and to those who are choosing a college. We are sorry that many of the best buildings are omitted, but this is a sample.
Lawrence has a population of over 12,000. It is an educational center, Kansas University, Haskell Institute Indian School, State Inbecile Asylum and Lawrence Business College being located here. The city High School and the common schools do good work. The University library, the city library and the Young Men's Christian Association reading room are the popular resorts of the intelligent, cultured citizens.
Lawrence is also a manufacturing town. Half a million dollars are invested in factories, with a return of three million dollars. Six hundred hands are employed. The immense water power is conveyed by wire cable to all parts of the city. The U. P., the A. T. & S. F., the S. K., the Leavenworth U. P. and the Carbondale U. P. are the railroads centering here. The street car lines run from all the depots through the city to Kansas University and Bismarck Grove. The view from Mt. Oread is said to be the finest in the west. The city is so beautiful, the people are so hospitable, that Lawrence is a second home to the students.
He Had to Go.
The Junior Prep. of history and college humor is no the more. What will the funny man do for a hero of his side-splitting romances? What will the cheap frat do for new men? What will the collegiate boys do for girls! Where will the next circus get its audience? Who will the politician run into Oread to vote? Who will hold stock for other people who want to be elected editor? Who will do the hard studying? In short, who will take the place of the much-abused long-suffering and very useful J. P.? His absence will indeed make a vacancy in college life. The Senior Prep cannot take his place, for that gentleman has been at the mill till he is hardened and worldly. The J. P. was the fresh oasis in the dry desert of college students.
"To see him was to love him,
To love his winsome ways."
We shall miss him, we will call for him, but his voice will be gone from the corridors, and naught will be heard but the gentle prattle of the Junior with the Sophomore girl on the stairs, and the surprising announcement that, "Young gentlemen, you will please retire to the library." The stone coop at the east door will no longer be decorated by the honorable names of future statesmen. Private meetings of Oread will no more be interrupted by the innocent approach of J. P. The old life of the University will fade away into memories, and the Junior Prep. will only be known to history and the college fabricator who loves the good old days. Fare thee well. Rest in peace.
The Junior Preps have gone. Supt. Parrish has even chiseled their names from the porch walls. The students should duck the first boy who defaces the building now.
The Alumni.
In the last five years the faculty has increased in number from thirteen to twenty-three.
The alumni of the University should remember the students who follow them. In a college paper nothing is read more eagerly than an article from the pen of an alumni. Their views and experience are regarded with great respect. In view of this, it is hardly right that they do not sometimes help their college paper with their ideas of college government, society work, student duties and other topics of like import. The columns of the Courier are and always have been open to communications from our graduates, but with a few honorable exceptions, we have received no aid from them in publishing a paper which requires an immense amount of work. The Courier is almost the only channel by which all the students can be reached on college topics. Literary articles go to the Review and aid in building up a good magazine. But we want the advice, sympathy and experience of those who have been before us. Literary polish and careful preparation are not what we wish, but real sentiments and thoughts. Come, gentlemen and ladies, alumni of our university, come help us, and we know you will not regret it.
A Day's Journey.
Bidding adieu to University halls for a few short weeks, your tourist, together with a classmate, turned westward toward the land of the buffalo and red men.
Mile after mile flew by as the "Cannon Ball" pursued its unwearing course. A clump of trees here, a bridge there, a village, a coal mine, a broad plain, a few rough hills, through which, and over which we rushed as though they were worthy of but a single glance, and as if desirous of reaching some distant and more pleasant camping ground. At 3.30 P. M. we made a halt in the flourishing city of Emporia.
After "taking in" the town we attended the High school commencement and farewell exercises of the State Normal. At the latter we were agreeably surprised. Coming from our grand old University, it was only natural to think that the sun shone no where as bright as on Mt. Oread, but it really shines on the Normal, at least by a broken reflection. From all appearances they are doing some good work there, and are fast keeping pace with the higher schools. Their literary halls are nicely furnished—as well or better than our K. S. U. halls—but judging from the number of seats, not so well attended.
We were fortunate enough to receive an invitation to what they call a "combination meeting," and of course accepted it, for who ever knew a K. S. U. student to whom the mere name "combination" was not enough to move them to the bottom of their pocket books and gather them in from all parts of the land. But as we were visitors, we refrain from giving them away, and will merely "remark" that if the Normalites desire to know any real new or any old and well tried devices concerning "combinations," they have only to visit Oread and Orophilian literary societies before a contest or the annual Review election.
This "combination," however, came to an end, as do all well regulated "combinations," and when the hour of midnight came and with it the
Song Books.
Miss Ethel Beecher Allen, of Kan sas city, writes:
EDITOR COURIER:—In the last issue of your newsy paper I find a list of college song books. Let me add to it two that are in my own possession, the former of which I have been told by graduates of Yale, Harvard, Williams and Ann Arbor, is the most judicious of all known collections: Students songs, edited by W. H. Hills, Harvard, '82, Moses King, Cambridge, Mass. Paper 50 cents. Revised yearly. The American Song Book, published by Orville Brewer & Co., Chicago. I trust that when the next college song book comes out, K. S. U. may secure a few pages for herself.
We hope Miss Allen will assist the Courier in securing the lines for the few pages.
The Fraternity Girl.
The subject of fraternities has been worn threadbare, patched and worn again; but as long as the Greek letter society forms so important a feature in college life, this theme will not be cast aside.
Only a short time and students will again meet in collage halls. The indispensable consumer of time and money—the "college girl"—will be present, fresh for another year's University work.
What will be the all-absorbing topic among the young ladies? Will it be their studies or literary work for the coming year, or perchance, the college publication? Undoubtedly it will not.
There will be at least three, possibly four groups of "fair ones" at safe distance, very intently discoursing—fraternity members.
If we give attention we will ascertain the standard by which the young ladies of some of our western colleges are measured before they are pronounced eligible to membership in a sisterhood.
First, her personal appearance will be carefully observed, and if the artist has not supplied the charms nature denied, there is at once a doubtful shake of the head toward the one under consideration. The exact size and weight, together with the means of supply to her portmannaie, are thoughtfully pondered. Her accomplishments receive a certain amount of attention—that amount not limited when the one very important one, dancing, is receiving notice. Somewhat depending upon this attainment, the most important consideration of all will probably seal her fate. Is she likely to become popular with the young gentlemen of the different fraternities? If she passes this point she is likely to be "rushed" before she has been a member of the University a week.
How long will this standard of measurement hold good? Have we not yet remaining in our college a sufficient number of young ladies who have a correct idea of the intention and end for which the ladies' fraternity was founded, to raise the standard of membership?
Until young ladies from the first households of our land, those whose characters are allready formed, who have marked out for themselves a course destined to lead them to pure, noble womanhood, are selected as members, the ladies' secret society will continue to be a mere farce, possessing an unintelligible name and a handsome piece of jewelry.
As soon as the term opens the literary societies had better begin to make arrangements for the December contest, in order that last year's deadlock may not be repeated.
The Courier does not wait for the school year to open, but resumes its weekly issue now. We thank the merchants of Lawrence for the patronage which allows this.

EDUCATION!
Answer. Reliable persons who can do some one thing well.
Question. Who are always in demand?
Business men are in search of those whom it will pay to employ. Young men and women are seeking engagements while lacking in ability to do any one thing skillfully.
Business life affords the widest field for desirable employment. Special training is required for all branches of business. Those who are looking forward to good situations, should be able to give positive and affirmative answers to such questions as the following:
Are you comfortable with the grammar question?
Can you speak and write the English language course?
Are you an expert bookkeeper?
Can you write a neat, legible, rapid, business hand?
Can you compose a good business letter ?
Do you understand commercial law ?
Are you familiar with counting-room practice ?
Are you acquainted with the forms and obligations of commercial paper ?
Can you write shorthand ?
Can you operate the type writer ?
Are you using any part of your income, or devoting any part of your time to preparing for earning a higher salary?
Do you know when out of work you cannot successfully compete with others, unless you are their superiors in attainments?
If you are better fitted than the average young man or woman to do that which is implied by these questions, there is room for you in the world of business; if not, what can you expect? Then to fit you, in the best manner and with the most expenditure of time and money, in the work of the

Mr. Peck was on his way south and brought his family to Lawrence and showed them the sights of our city this morning.
Midsummer Meditations.
The hardest thing in the world is to admit that you're dead broke. Every year I hear of students quitting school on account of "bad health," sickness of parents," "work in the store," etc., when I now it's because they are out of funds. But that is all right. Such talk don't hurt any one, and it bridges over unpleasant places.
I had a hope that politics would keep a still mouth during vacation. It was vain. The other evening I heard a couple of Oreads discussing "orator" for year after next!
“If the book had a lot of sensational pictures,” said Gilmore speaking of Prof. Springs history, for which he had canvassing, “it would sell like wild fire. A colored plate of Quantrell burning Lawrence or something like that is what would make it take with the people. But as it is, it's up-hill business.” A fine commentary indeed on the intelligence of the first educational State in the union! But from what I hear, it's true.
I suppose that Prof. Spring's new history of Kansas is for accuracy of detail and brilliance of diction, unequalled by anything ever written on the subject. Its price, too—$1.25—is ridiculously low. What is better, it isn't filled with portraits and paid biographies of ward politicians and horse doctors.
Just how to get the finest accommodations, perplexes the incoming student, for it is notorious that the best places in Lawrence are not ad-vertised. A friend, whose name I wouldn't mention for anything, not for the world, told me some years ago the pretty dodge he worked. “I go to the handsomest block and knock at the first door. To the lady who answers, I say: I was recommended here to get board. She protests that she don't take boarders. I say I must have made a mistake, and it is probably the next house. She looks at me and thinks a minute, and then says she hadn't thought about it before, but believes she can spare one room. So I get a nice berth, don't you see?” But everyone isn’t as handsome as Ed. Little, you know.
As a class the students are good patrons of the theater, and I am glad of it. The legitimate drama offers a wide field for instruction as well as amusement. For those who can afford it there is no better investment than an occasional evening listening to a good play.
Frank March recently showed me his bookings for the coming season at the opera house. I must say I think it far ahead of anything we have before had in Lawrence. Bartley Campbell’s new opera “Paquita,” Mile. Rhea and Maggie Mitchell, are a sample of new sweets. What is still better, Frank has closed the house to all variety and second class shows. It must be of the first order or none at all.
I confess my enthusiasm over the “military scheme” don't equal that of some others, still there is one advantage I hope to see derived therefrom. If we have a military com-
pany it may help to detract from the billiard halls, which have done more to demoralize and bankrupt students than saloons, society and all other influences combined.
Like whiskey, the billiard halls have their warmest advocates in those they hurt most. It has long been a shame that the public sentiment has allowed these places to become the rendezvouz, day and night, for student dissipation.
SMITH.
One of our students justifies himself to his home paper in this way: “If a young man looks pale and weary, it is not hard labor but the brain work which he has to expend in taking care of the institute girls and at the same time standing in with his town girl.”

EDITORS OF UNIVERSITY COURIER.
Sirs:—They say that there is one idea born in the minds of some men, and that idea is that they can write for a newspaper. But that idea is generally taken out of the world only when they die, and those who read their efforts generally desire that time to come soon. Thus it will be with the enclosed article of mine, and I leave its publication in the columns of the Courier merely at your option.

The relations of the board of regents with the students of K. S. U., from its earliest days, have always been very pleasing. Perhaps in the item of college journalism, boards have always experienced their greatest and most delicate trials in this regard. This difficulty has now about solved itself. A well sustained college journal can do a great deal for its institution, and it customary for managementes of all schools to foster them in every manner possible. In their infancy they are given financial support. They are encouraged in every way.
K. S. U. journalism is now beyond the period when "support" is necessary from its board of regents. Her two periodicals are now self-supporting. They can only ask for advertising patronage from the board on a strictly business basis. As advertising mediums, the board should take advantage of space in their columns, on business principles only.

H. A. CUTLER, Publisher.
Four months ago we published the above with the claim of the largest circulation of any college paper in the United States. We called for certified circulations. In this time the highest certified list we received from nearly one hundred exchanges was 900. Until further notice we will now in large type attest THE LARGEST COLLEGE JOURNAL CIRCULATION IN THE UNITED STATES.
WANTED.—A medical department.
Our law department is the equal of any in the west.
Washington University has enlarged—500 miles.
The law department promises good attendance the coming year.
The local oratorical contest should be held before the holidays.
The prospect for next year is that the reins of discipline will be drawn tighter than ever.
There is no question but that the University can get and ought to have a military instructor.
--tion, the students' paper the best advertising medium, run by no clique, faction or fraternity. The wisdom of the owl, cunning of the fox, and cheek of a brass monkey, are minor requisites. He also has to be able to do all the work we have mentioned in connection with the editors when they are absent or indisposed.
The time is soon at hand when the students will gather in and go to work at their studies, managing elections and dodging washwomen.
It will not be long before there will be a medical college some place else in Kansas if such a department is not soon added to our University.
We wonder if the professors will get off that old joke of a Friday morning roll call. If so, wouldn't it be a good idea to mark the attendance of the professors?
We hope every student before returning to K. S. U. for the coming year will made arrangements with his or her local paper to furnish at least monthly letters during the year from the University. Do not neglect it.
The city of Lawrence annually receives from students attending the University, $150,000. Annual attendance exceeding 500; average expense in actual cash spent, at a low estimate being $300. Every year hundreds of people visit the city during commencement week, etc., because of its being the location of the State University. Yet notwithstanding the State has spent all the money necessary for such an institution at this place, the city has never given it a creditable approach to its grounds. Through the generosity of that staunch and patriotic old friend of the University, Gov. Robinson, the city now has an opportunity at a very low cost, of giving us such an approach as the generous liberality of the State would commend. Oread Avenue, in expense to the city, only requires grading. Few cities in the State but what would give many times this in addition to what the city of Lawrence has ever done for the State University for its location within its limits. The city of Lawrence owes this approach to the University grounds. An opportunity is now given which perhaps will never be extended again. Let her city council take immediate action.
It is a common experience with students who are questioned in regard to the University by those who contemplate sending their boys to our school, to meet with the inquiry concerning the extent of the moral and irreligious influence which prevails here.
There seems to be more anxiety on this point than any other, and the opinion appears to be current that Lawrence and the University are little short of a shoe.
As long as we have been connected with the University, we have seen nothing to indicate a character of this kind, and if there be any ground for such an opinion of our school, we fail to find it; unless you may, perhaps, have been talking with one of those bigoted pieces of anatomy who, filled with the idea that he has a little learning, takes every opportunity, by assaulting the established religion of hundreds of generations, to impress you with the idea that he is in advance of his age.
It is unfortunate that a few such imbecilatated minds go out from our institution; but if you will take the trouble to investigate you will find that there are few sets of students more orderly and religious than ours. While the State college has no connection with the church, the teachings of every professor are those of an honest, faithful Christian.
In regard to the city, certainly a more moral one cannot be found in the State. With a church on every corner, absolute prohibition, and built up by people intellectual, religious and hospitable; what city can lay a better claim to morality than Lawrence.
And yet, after all, it depends a great deal upon the boy himself. It is a test which must come to every young man sooner or later, for there comes a time when he must leave the influence of home, and it would better be in Lawrence than any where else. If your boy has lived uprightly at home, you can depend upon it he will remain so at the Kansas University.
What are the necessities of a college paper? Every student can give a prompt answer and tell exactly how a college journal ought to be managed. He has frequently explained the whole matter to us and wondered at our ignorance. As our successors in the green fields of journalism will soon be called to the front and given the power to wield the faber and the scissors, and the paste pot, it may not be out of place to speak of a few little things which will be required of them. The man who conducts the editorial department must be of considerable ability. He will be called upon to write stirring paragraphs, sarcastic double meaning leaders, heavy editorials on the marking system, appeals to the legislature for an appropriation, to the regents for a new department, to the faculty for a holiday, to the students to pay up their subscriptions; he must be up in the history of the university in order to make references, must thoroughly understand the discipline and management of all other colleges, must be in deep sympathy with the students, the faculty and the regents. If there is trouble between any of these parties he must carefully please all sides. No matter what his frame of mind, he must always be ready to supply copy, and must adjust his writing to the wish of his patrons, whether it be a plea for a new department soft soap for some professor, or asummer editorial on the girl question.
The Local editor should be different. He is to be the wide-awake, get-up-and-dust young man of the University. He must attend all entertainments, hops, parties, exhibitions, societies, class meetings, base ball games, keep track of student exploits, write all up in an interesting, concise manner, with humor, pathos, and eloquence. He must be well up in almanacs and the funny papers, quick at puns, ready in wit, and always ready to supply any amount of side-splitting humor on demand. It will be seen that the local man has a soft snap. The Personal editor must merely learn the history, prospects, weaknesses and actions of the students, faculty and regents. This office is a sinecure. Any one can do it after fifteen or twenty years' study. The Views manager has the fun. He writes mean articles and signs other people's initials. The doctor takes out the bill in advertising and gives reduced rates.
The Exchange man has an easy task. He only has to clip the old jokes and bad poetry, and writes stinging paragraphs about other papers. It is generally supposed that he writes with blood, but it is merely red ink. The blood is in his eye.
The Business Manager comes last, and as this is considered a very nice position the applicant should be a very nice man, one everybody likes. He should always be ready for a fight, and never take anything but a front seat. He must rustle advertising, attend to printing, read proof, write copy, get subscribers, sell stock, stand in with the regents, keep the faculty in awae, distribute papers, fold and mail, stand off the printer, collect bills if he can, be meck under the reproaches of the merchant, and brazen before the ire of the professor, and at all times and places keep up a general howl about our enormous circulation, the students' paper the best advertising medium, run by no clique, faction or fraternity. The wisdom of the owl, cunning of the fox, and cheek of a brass monkey, are minor requisites. He also has to be able to do all the work we have mentioned in connection with the editors when they are absent or indisposed.
This is a slight sketch of the staff of a college paper. If the Courier has not had all, it has had some of these geniuses. No monument marks their work, but they will not soon be forgotten by the creditor, printer and the delinquent subscriber. Candidates for positions on the Courier will scrutinize themselves and see if they have the qualifications.
To the business men of the city of Lawrence, who yet have bills unpaid on the Athletic Association, we have to say again, at this late day, that the full amount due was last June subscribed, and the Courier was promised, in consideration of its not publishing the names of the officers thereof as it threatened, that the bills would all be paid before the close of commencement week. This promise, through carelessness alone, is unfulfilled. A considerable amount of cash has been in the hands of a prominent member of the association since the first week in June, and as the Courier, in its glorious mission of moral reform, having the interests and reputation of the students of K. S. U. nearest at heart, is again on the warpath on this disgraceful affair, and unless the matter is attended to soon we will "a direful tale unfold." Young men, pay the cash on hand at once, and give the collecting of your subscribed money immediate attention.
The fact that college songs tend to produce a spirit of loyalty, cannot be denied. It is to be regretted that the State University has never had any songs of her own. We have had in the past hundreds of students who, as they only remained a year or so, never became imbued with that love for their alma mater which is so noticeable in the students of eastern colleges. Their university life has been merely a season of drudgery, which, unenlivened by meetings in which song was indulged in, has nothing to which the student can look back with pleasure.
Song can be indulged in by the most of our students; they all enjoy it. To recall old college songs to an eastern graduate, recalls many of the pleasantest incidents of college life. What Harvard man can hear the strains of "Fair Harvard" without a sense of pride? What would his college life have seemed without the college songs?
We of Kansas have many occasions which would be much enhanced by song. Our college days would be brighter, and we would have fewer men leave our halls after a short sojourn, who would say, "I had no pleasure."
Let the work in music, so nobly begin by our energetic professor, be extended. Let us add college songs; let us sing them, and if the spirit of music does not draw our students together, then I fear nothing will. The Courier wants songs. We will publish all that are written, and if we are not much misaken we have men in school who can write us some good rousing songs. Let us have them at once.
We understand that the establishment of a chair of the Spanish language has received some attention of late from the board of regents. If there is any possible way for providing the necessary support therefor, the Courier places itself at once on the list of hearty petitioners for it. The opening up of the great South-West in the last few years has made a demand which promises to continue for many years to come, for a knowledge of the Spanish language, which our enterprising institution should not be slow to grant cognizance.
The Spanish departments of Eastern colleges in the past few years have been crowded to their utmost, growing every month. K. S. U., on the pathway of this new elysium, should act at once.
Our readers will be pleased to learn that there will be opened this autumn a worthy rival and successor to the magnificent World's Exposition held at New Orleans last winter and spring. Those whose good fortune it was to visit that grand affair will never forget the world of wealth—the rich and rare exhibits—the startling evidences of undeveloped and heretofore almost unknown resources of this hemisphere, there represented. It was the first practical opportunity of the people of this country to become thoroughly imbued with a knowledge of the great, almost unlimited extent of the agricultural, horticultural and mineralogical resources of the Western Continent.
Such knowledge becomes the basis of enterprise, the forerunner of the institution of new lines of traffic and exchange, the opening up of new markets for our products and manufactures, of new fields of industry and development.
To realize the full fruits of the work inaugurated by the World's Exhibition, a new exposition company, composed of leading, enterprising citizens of New Orleans and of the Mississippi Valley, has been organized with a capital of $500,000 under the name of the North, Central and South American Exposition. They have purchased the plant of buildings and property of the World's Exposition and will open on the 10th of November, 1885, closing April 1st, 1886
The new company begins its work under the most favorable auspices; with a property complete for exposition purposes originally costing $1,-400,000, purchased and paid for, with ample funds in its treasury, and with applications from old exhibitors and new ones already flowing in.
Railroad fares will be arranged on the basis of not to exceed one cent per mile from any point. Accommodation in the Crescent City, thanks to the experience of the past season, will meet the requirements and satisfaction of the visitors. Good crops and the good times will encourage an immense attendance.
The Courier would like to repeat the remark that the literary societies would do much better work if occasionally recognized and visited by the professors.

There ought to be a boarding hall in connection with the University. We should not always be left to the tender mercies of the town people. Board is getting higher and worse every year.
ABE LEVY, THE POPULAR STUDENT'S HATTER AND FURNISHER.
1.
No More, Thank You.
No More, Thank You.
Death is terrible. There are things, however, worse than death; things that harrow up the soul; that tempt the heart with ectatic pleasures only to prove in the end a hollow mockery, which dres up the dearest ambitions of youth, and wilts his best shirt. What we have specially in mind is the dress ball. Cover it with any euphonism you please—"symposium," "reunion" or "reception," the dress ball is nothing but inane mockery. Yes, the dress ball is infinitely worse than death, or even the measles.
We were invited to a dress ball recently. How we laid awake nights dreaming about that ball—no, that's not it! What we mean to convey is the fact that our slumbers were beautified by visions of the coming event. What sweet visions!
We invested 75 cents in a white tie and $1.50 in a pair of pumps of a size that furnishes a lucrative practice to the chiropedist. We anticipated walking down the dark side of the street under the shadows of the hedge and saying sweet things, and at the right time—but never mind what we anticipated doing. It never came to pass. The boys said it wouldn't do to walk—this was a "dress ball"—we must get hacks.
We then conjured up pleasures on a somewhat less rapturous scale for the hack. Alas! They didn't come to pass, either. We imagined ourselves sitting at her side keeping off the chilly blast, and our—but never mind what we imagined. It never came to pass.
We went in a hack. The hackman abused us because the maiden tarried so long at the mirror while he was waiting. It wasn't our fault, but we pacified the hack fiend with an extra half dollar. Finally she came, be decked with habiliments which courtesy and the maker would call a dress. She said we would have to sit on opposite seats, to keep from ruffling the "dress." Heavens! How we wished ourselves in Iceland. She further said that her satin waist was of very delicate material, and would show finger marks an sleeve prints very easily, so we must be careful not to touch it. Then we wished ourselves in Hades!
At last we got to the ball—the dress ball. It took an hour going; it seemed it did, anyway. We went to waltz. She said we must keep at a reserved distance, so as not to crash the bunch of flowers she wore there. "Sheol" is what they now call it—yes, there is where we wished to go. We began to fan her, but "Look out for the frizzes," was uttered in a paralysing tone. Supper hour came. We went to the table bungry as a bear. We listened to some toasts—the dryest toast we ever digested in our life. These through at last, we commenced to eat, but just then the company rose, and we left, with one longing, lingering look at the repast (victuals). We went back to the hall; we call it a "hall," though it seemed like a hall spelled with an "e." Suffice to say, the ball was as elaborate as a circus purade, and as forma as a sleeping-car porter. We endured it till half past three, when it broke up. We also were "broken up," pocket-book, constitution and all Our sweet visions had departed, like the spinal column of our collars and
cuffs. We got home—as near as we can remember we got home—though at this point memory gave way. Yea, verily, death is preferable to a dress ball.
The next day we all talked about "what a delightful time we had." We talked that, while we thought—but let that pass. There was but one happy man that night—the hackman. Meanwhile we resign all claim on our girl for future "dress balls" to our bitterest rival. May God have mercy on his soul.
GREAT HALL FOR POLITICAL REPRESENTATION. LONDON.
[Washington University, St. Louis, Mo.]
---
It is said that George Washington was very truthful, but his namesake, Washington University, of St. Louis, does not seem to be troubled that way. This school has just begun to advertise, and being short of engravings, has hit upon a happy thought. On the last page of the Kansas City Review for August will be found the old large sized cut of Kansas University, engraved before the front steps were built, and before the ventilating hoods were hoisted. Underneath this picture in large type is the legend: WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, followed by a flaming description of the pride of St. Louis. This is too much. Lawrence is not a suburb of St. Louis, Kansas University could stand being called the school of plagiarism when a crack-brained essayist copied Matthew Arnold, but she will not let her four buildings be married into the family of the St. Louis dude. She objects to such fond embraces. The dude is lovely, he is winsome, but he is too forward. He must woo before he wins. He must ask on bended knee before his all embracing arms can enfold the pride of Kansas.
In reviewing the history of K. S. U., one of the most remarkable features that presents itself is the unbroken good will and generosity of feeling which has ever existed between faculty and students. Never has a member of the faculty been troubled by any lack of courtesy from students. Never have students been compelled to take any measures for the common college movements of redress of grievances. In no college in the United States are students granted greater scholarly liberties of action, given fuller sway as to individual thought or action in college matters, and on the other hand, no college can show a clearer record of courteous, loyal student regard for their school.
Last Spring the ground was given by Governor Robinson for an avenue up Mount Oread, and the city council decided to cut and grade it. But Oread Avenue does not avenue with the celerity the friends of the University would like to see it avenue.
EXPERIENCE IN BUSINESS
We understand the board of regents at their next meeting will take all necessary steps for the securing of a military instructor.
CITIZENATES THE FOUNDATION OF Correct Business Methods.
This experience can be acquired in only two ways: By service in a business house, and by training at a Business College. The former method fails to meet the requirements of business education, for the following reasons:
First, it consumes too much time. The thorough business man has no leisure to instruct "green hands." The inexperienced youth must pick up as best he may, while performing the duties of "general utility hand," sufficient knowledge to insure him promotion to some more responsible position. It is only after years of drudgery that he becomes competent in a single line of business. Much of the time thus spent ought to have been devoted to the public school.
Second, but few have the opportunity to acquire experience in this manner. Business men have no use for inexperience. They will not receive it upon any terms except to train employees for their own service. How are farmer's sons and daughters to acquire experience in mercantile houses? Is it supposed that young men and women from our higher institutions of learning will begin as errand hands in retail establishments? This method of learning the ways of business absolutely precludes women from commercial pursuits.
Third, the person who gets his business education in a business house learns only the methods of a single house. These methods are quite as likely to be moulded by the eccentricities of the manager as to be based upon general custom or sound reason. Be this as it may, he is bound down to one line of business. Suppose this is not suited to his circumstances or adapted to his taste?
The young people of this country will not be best qualified for business by being moulded in a single groove. The way to draw out their capacities is first to teach them principles gathered from the ripest experience in all kinds of trades, and then enforce these as far as possible by practical application. In this method they will acquire a stock of knowledge available for any business and upon any emergency. This is the kind of ex-derience afforded by the
BUSINESS COLLEGE.
The object of these instructions is not simply to prepare young people to fill clerkships or become book-keepers, as too many believe. The purpose of the public school, college and University, is to impart a general education. That of the business college is to supplement academic studies by a business education. It is to teach young men and women how to preserve for themselves the fruits of their labors, and to develop in them a capacity to apprehend and szee the opportunities that exist in such abundance in this country for the creation of wealth. Business training of this kind is not for any special pursuit. It is the most important part of every person's preparation for useful living. It is within the reach of all, without an undue expenditure of time or money. The parent who does not see to it that his children are equipped for the duties]of life by understanding the principles of systematic business, e exposes them to many temptations and dangers which it is in his power to remove from their way
A thorough business education can be gained at the LAWRENCE AND ATCHISON BUSINESS COLLEGES.

Don't forget your subscription to the Grant monument.
Miln, the famous tragedian, will play Othello in Bowersock's opera house Tuesday evening. Such a grand treat for the opening insures an illustrous season for '85-'86.
Most of the workmen who were cleaning the University were discharged Wednesday. The students employed were retained, how ever, Hurrah for September, Parrish!
We see by the Chase Co. Leader that our W. Y. Morgan will publish a daily in Cottonwood Falls during the county fair at that place. The Daily Leader will have a circulation of 1,000, and like the Courier, will be a grand success. Here's our Morgan.
The next addition to Kansas University will be a full medical department. North college is just the building for the purpose. We have the grounds, the buildings, the laboratories; all we need is one or two new professors and the permission to go to work. If we had the permission we could do good work now.
S. T. Field & Co., with their usual enterprise, this week mailed to students over the State a very neat and artistic card having a classified list of the books to be used in the different classes in the University for the coming year. The cards preserved, will be found to be a very valuable assistant on arrival here.
Page 7 of the Pharmacy pamphlet should read: "Applicants for admission to the Department of Pharmacy must satisfy the faculty that they possess such English common school education as will enable them to pursue the studies of the department with advantage. Applicants will not necessarily be examined in algebra."
We clip from a personal letter to a member of our board of regents, the following from a prominent eastern man closely associated in educational work with Prof. Wilcox, our new Greek professor:
"It strikes me Prof. Wilcox is the very man you want. He can furnish the best testimonials for education and character generally, not only in his specialty but in general intelligence. He is an enthusiast in Greek, and always has been. He has lived among the Greeks and speaks the modern language. He has the culture of European travel, and has devoted a great deal of time to Greek art and archaeology."

Midsummer Meditations.
"How tempus does fugit," as the Vassar girl said to her fellow who was slow in "popping." It seems only yesterday that the boys let down their baggage from the back window at midnight hour and left for the parental domicile, where washwomen cease to trouble, and old board' bills are at rest. Now they are coming back; at least Ed Blair, the bell sheep of the crowd, has put in an appearance, and the rest will soon follow.
* * * * *
By the way, I notice that one of
Bob Hayslett: "The devil's to pay and no pitch is hot! I thought I'd have some fun this summer, and so got a 'solid girl' at each town I visited. Now I have just received letters from four saying they're come up to see me fair week. Guess I'll have to get a wagon and take them all out together. It knocks the fruit tree profits, though."
Lawrence can boast of a tip-top postoffice management. If a more clever and accommodating man can be found than Al Diggs, I want to see him. He has a superb lot of letter throwers around him, too. I believe the students appreciate these facts, for every one as he comes to town goes up and gives the post office boys a warm shake.
* * * *
"Requiescat in pace." Them's Latin words that we learned from Prof. Robinson, and liberally translated means "rest, cat, in piece." It is sufficient to say that the cat Dyche gets rests in more pieces than any other cat in the State of Kansas. He does it up in thoroughly scientific style, for which service this commonwealth pays him twelve hundred dollars a year—a sum he could almost double elsewhere, however. His pupils very properly call him "Prof. Dyche," but I was one of his classmates, and classmates never put handles to one another's names, you know.
Burr, the whole-souled, social secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who doesn't think it a sin against the Holy Ghost to crack a smile, is getting the rooms of the Association in good trim for the students. I don't believe, either, that Burr will be taken for a confidence man, as his predecessor was.
. . . . .
A few students around town get bitten by some hard cases of K. S. U. whose worthlessness is notorious, and then raise a hue and cry about the "dishonesty of students." As I have said once before, I say again, there are fewer dead beats in the University than among an equal number of persons to be picked up anywhere else, even in our churches.
* * * * *
the Lawrence dailies speaks of the "Y. M.C.A. Christian Association."

Forepaugh's show, the Bismarck fair and three or four first class theatricals come in the first half of September. These are going to interfere considerably with study, or else I'm much mistaken. It will also necessitate a heavy draft on Pa's pocket.
The longer one attends the University the more he finds out. One of the things I have learned is that it is easier to get good rooms two weeks after the college opens than two weeks before. In the beginning of the year boarding mistresses are quite autocratic in their demands. Later they will take about what is offered them. No charge for the hint.
Isn't it time some one was writing an article about dormitories? There is no chance under the heavens of getting them, but it is a standard subject on which to throw ink away.

“Figures don't lie,” so they say, but examine the ages of the girls on the University record and if you don't find several huge cases of mendacity—in the figures, it will be because you are not posted as to real facts.

Why we are so tickled when we think of that wonderful consolidation of the "whangdoodles."
