LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 2, 1885.
LOCAL.
The literary societies are booming.
Oread elects her December contestants to-day.
The number of the Courier P. O. box is as before, 251.
We suggest that the bogus edition establish a bogus post office for its benefit.
Subscribe for the COURIER, the only paper run in the interest of the students, and not for one Fraternity.
Since the faculty picnic Dr. Wilcox has had one of his fingers tied up. We had supposed that the faculty had arrived at years of discretion, so that life and limb would not be endangered at their picnics. But alas!
The Phi Psis will be pleased to know that Dr. D.C. Stockstill, the official physician of Haskell Institute, is an enthusiastic member of their number.
Last week Chancellor Lippincott married a couple of deaf mutes a few miles from town. The ceremony was conducted through the medium of an interpreter.
Again it is our pleasant duty to chronicle the marriage of a K. S. U. student. A Courier reporter saw Prescott's name on a license as one of the contracting parties. See John for further particulars.
Her soul is wrung with anguish,
SUBSCRIPTION ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.
And with grief her eyes o'erlow,
While in sorrow doth she languish
Neath the sad and cruel blow.
Dressed to kill, her way she wended Down the street, all hearts to wring, But alas! behind depended.
Just two yards of corset string.
—Exhume.
Last Thursday evening a reception was given our students in the Methodist church. Owing to the fact that it was not generally known, few students were present. Those who were there passed a pleasant evening in conversation, and made many new acquaintances.
The game of ball between the University and Railroad boys last Saturday, resulted in a score of 26 to 5, in favor of K. S. U.
The following was picked up in the corridors ;
"ANN ARBOR, 9, 23, '85.
"Dear Bro. G, W. H.; Ann Arbor is a large school. I am well pleased.
Have met a number of fraternity men, though strange as it may seem,
I have not seen a single Sigma Nu.
They treated me cordially, although many of them confess that they have never heard of our fraternity.
Have my eye on a number of suspicious-looking characters whom I think can be induced to don the seventeen-pointed, rotund cross of our beloved order. I have selected the literary society, which I intend to boss.
"Yours in Snett,
"P. R. B."
"ANN ARBOR, 9, 23,'85.
Prof. Nichols has recently obtained an edition of Lucan printed in Amsterdam in 1640. It is in good condition.
The city has commenced taking up all old sidewalks and putting down new ones in their place. This is a move in the right direction. It will save the boys a great deal of trouble about the last evening of this month, and will also make walking more pleasant.
Ada Richmond Opera Company at the opera houge Monday night; "Little's World," Wednesday night.
Read the Herald-Tribune's article on Capt. Shane's photograph gallery.
The Lawrence Business College as seen by THE COURRIER reporter this week portrayed on third page, is interesting reading.
We understand that the Pharmacy students have ordered plug hats to adorn their ugly visages. We are glad to see this new department show such class spirit.
Our readers will have to excuse the unusual rush of advertising in our columns this week. The business men of the city are bent upon giving us the "wherewith" to make The Courier boom for the year to come, and we cannot but accept most gratefully.
An interesting game of ball was played last Saturday between the K. S. U. nine and a picked town nine. But five innings were played when the score stood 25 to 6 in our favor. It is impossible to tell what the score would have been had the game been finished, but it might have reached the hundreds. Davis and Yoke played with their usual skill. Home runs were made by White and Little. The game although not very scientific as regards the score, demonstrated plainly enough that there is material sufficient in the University for an excellent nine.

EDITORIAL.
IT is with the keenest regret the COURIER has been compelled to take some of the rash measures with J. D. McLaren and W. L. Kerr, two of our fellow-students, that it has in the week past. To protect the COURIER and the public we have been compelled to take steps which otherwise would be unpardonable. Their own actions called it upon them. They participated in the meeting of Monday, the 21st instant, when the present staff of the COURIER was elected. If they were dissatisfied with its action and wanted an organ in the University, they were at liberty to start a third paper—of any nature they desired. Instead of this, they last week had reprinted all the advertisements of the COURIER, got out a few hundred copies of a sheet which they headed "The Courier," and had them scattered over the city and among students of the University. It was when they represented themselves to business men of the city, in attempting the contracting of advertising and collecting as "managers of the Courier," that we found ourselves obliged to advertise them. We are under great obligations to the daily city papers, Herald-Tribune, Gazette and Journal, after investigating the matter fully, to so come to our rescue, placing these young men in their proper light before the public.
Legal proceedings on so small piece of property as a college paper can be considered only to be deplored. From the business men of the city the boys are receiving no encouragement. They are paying for their journalistic luxury out of their own pockets. Their folks at home will probably care for them soon in this. Students of the University should pay only J. Sullivan or T. S. Fritz subscriptions. They getting no mail, all foreign subscriptions are safe. Postmaster Shannon refuses their papers to the mails at second-class rates. We hope ere another issue to announce the boys having come to their senses. The Courier in the year past has been too good a paper and has done too much good work for K. S. U. to be crippled or killed for personal aggrandization.

MOTTO—Fraternity Rule Must Be Broken.
Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kan sas, as second class matter.
PROF. CANFIELD's "constitution al history" in his charge is a strong study.
THE fraternity system was meant for social purposes, not political. Fraternity rule must be broken.
The musical department, under Prof. MacDonald, seems to be starting up with its boom of last year.
The motto of the Weekly University Courier, published at the University of Kansas, and claiming to have the largest circulation of any college journal, is, "Fraternity Rule must be Broken." Delaware (Ohio) Transcript.
THE COURIER's suggestion of last week on the changing the name of Oread avenue to Robinson avenue, in honor of Governor Robinson, is being received with great favor by the State press.
"CLUB" boarding seems very popular this year. Two dollars and a half per week in clubs, we understand, sets a better table than the three dollar and a half to four dollar per week boarding houses of the city.
The servility of members of one or two of the fraternities of K. S. U. to "frat discipline" is disgustingly sickening. Members thereof will perjure their very souls in the following of their leader. Manhood, principle or individuality receive no consideration.
WE STILL want college songs. Several who promised us verses therefore have failed as yet to respond. We want to get them and publish them; have them set to music, and gain admittance for a few pages in the college song-books of the country on special K. S. U. songs.
PROF. SPRING's History of Kansas will soon be here from the hands of the publishers. It is with pleasure the COURIER announces it can give a club rate of $1.75 for one year's subscription and one copy of the book, the retail price of which is $1.25. Send orders to our managers.
Sol SMITH RUSSELL in "Felix McKusick" played to a large and well-pleased audience at Bowersock's opera house Monday night. We were pleased to see a good representative attendance of students. Manager March has some of the best attractions of the season billed for here during the year, and students should take advantage of them.
OWING to unlooked-for circumstances, we have been unable to enlarge to six pages, as we had intended for last week. Our enlarged form gives us a little more room, and with this our readers will have to be contented for a few weeks at least. We only hope for the best. One dollar per year is very cheap at present size, and such will our subscription price remain.
The popularity of the Pharmacy department is a surprise to those who were not posted on the demand for such training. We are surprised, however, that young ladies over the State do not take advantage of this training. Young ladies can fill the positions of drug-gists' clerks in the compounding of medicines as well as gentlemen, while the salaries therefor are very lucrative.
BY THE University not having a chair of the Spanish language, scores of young men from our State and the Southwest are passing through our city bound for eastern colleges. A chair of Spanish, rightly advertised, with a special tuition fee attached (if it could not be otherwise supported), would the second year support itself. The wants of the great Southwest demand training in this line. The influence of young men filling important positions in that country in years to come will be great. Kansas wants their good will. Let us have a chair of Spanish.

THE UNIVERSITY COURIER.
Of course all the business men of Lawrence are alive to the fact that the University is a great benefit to us, and that they should do everything within reasonable bounds to assist the boys in publishing a paper that will be a credit to the institution. But if the patronage of our merchants and other business men is spread out over a half-dozen publications, none of them will be first class. At the present time these young gentlemen have attempted
As is well known the affairs of the Courier of the University for the past week have been in an unsettled condition. Briefly, the facts seem to be that a meeting of the company was held recently, and was broken up by a body of students who virtually drove the president of the meeting and stockholders from the room, after he had adjourned the meeting to the following Monday. Monday a meeting of stockholders numbering fifty-three out of fifty-nine, were present, with the leaders of the disturbance of Friday. The young gentlemen who claim to be the "opposition" to the Courier, in the issue of Friday, were present and took active part in the proceedings. In boyish passion they got out the issue of Friday.
If every time a party fails to carry out their plans in an election as was the case with these gentlemen, they start a new paper, there would be no end to the bother and trouble that would result to our business men, and the University would not then have a decent publication. A veto should be put to the matter now, and no patronage or encouragement should be given to Mr. McLaren and Mr. Kerr in an attempt to run their "Courier", as it is plainly to be seen that Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Fritz represent the legal and moral right in the difficulty. Postmaster Shannon after investigation, has set an example and refused to admit their paper except at merchandise rates. We also understand late today, that Mr. Cutler is having trouble getting his pay for his work. -Herald-Tribune, Saturday Eee.
FACULTY PARTY.
by a scheme, to break the paper down by getting out a similar publication. It is not only for the interest of the University, but of all concerned, as it seems to us, that they should not be given encouragement in this matter.
-Herald-Tribune, Saturday Eve.
Last Friday evening Professor Robinson and his pleasant wife entertained the members of the Faculty and their wives right royally. A very pleasant supper was discussed, after which they indulged in their usual pastime of singing such little hymns as "Noad he did Build an Ark," "My Last Cigar," etc. Professors Snow and Wilcox were the great singers, while Prof. MacDonald presided at the piano. A most pleasant evening, though some indulged in rather hilarious conduct. Mrs. Robinson's entertainments have become regular features of Faculty life and Faculty hope they will long continue.-Lawrence Journal.
THE FACULTY OF PRINCETON,
Recent cases of hazing have been met by the faculty of Princeton College in a cowardly and shameful manner. It appears that a number of Sophomores have, during the first week of school, been perpetrating a number of dastardly outrages. For instance, they painted the steps leading to the chapel with grease. The perpetrators of the deed were found out, but owing to their prominence in college the faculty took no action. Emboldened by this negligence, they began a systematic course of hazing Freshmen. A number of new students were brutally treated by them, and their furniture destroyed. Again this cowardly faculty, although they had ample means of ascertaining the names of the ruffans, took no action. Because, forsooth, they were wealthy New Yorkers, and they were afraid to expel them. But the friends of the injured students have taken the matter in hand and intend to bring the hazers to justice, as well as the members of the faculty who have screened them and kept them from being punished. We hope that these friends may be successful.
Such cowardice on the part of a faculty of so prominent a college as Princeton, is unpardonable. If these hazers had been poor or without influence, we doubt not but that they would have been expelled immediately. But these wealthy young men are taken under the faculty apron and kept from their just dues. If there is any place where all men ought to be treated equally, it is before a college faculty. When the universal cringing to wealth so perverts a faculty that it is unable
to treat all students with equal justice, it is time for some one else to take a hand and regulate matters. We are pleased to learn that Dr. McCosh, the president of the college, has courage enough to say that if he had the power he would expel every one of the offenders.
EXCHANGES.
The Dennison Collegian is a neat and newsy publication from Granville, Ohio.
The Crescent, a monthly published by the students of Hillhouse High School, is a very creditable publication for young and inexperienced students. They fail to "get a very favorable impression" of the Corner, but probably when they get to be a Courant, a Crimson Advocate or a Yale Literary Magazine, they can appreciate us better.
The Shield of Phi Kappa Psi, published by the local chapter, is again before us. It is fully up to the standard of former issues, and reflects credit upon its editors. The printing is the work of W. J. Flintom, and is a marvel of beauty and neatness.
The Industrialist, from the Agricultural College at Manhattan, is again with us and has the same dry characteristics. This paper is a warning against other college facilities ever trying to publish a paper. Better give the students a chance!
COLLEGE SONGS.
Exchanges have now begun to come in thick and fast, many wearing their old familiar appearance. and others dressed in new clothes and headed by new staffs.
SENIOR'S FAREWELL.
So fare shee well, thou quiet place,
Forlorn I turn from thee my face;
So farre shee well, for I must go.
But whither, alh I do not know.
And fare shee well dear friends and true
I sadly turn away from you;
Though happier hours 'o'er be my lot,
Ne'or you and yours shall be forgot.
And fare shee well, dear maden mine,
Through my ways now lie'n far from tine,
Through your life's journey, mine heart,
And thus our friendship's oath we swear
Sleep well a long and dreamless night,
And wait a cheerier morrow's light;
I always am supremely blest
When thy bright eyes upon me rest.
And if one day I cease to rove
I ask for nothing but thy love;
All else all else indifferent be—
Thy love alone is wealth to me.
In the following we give our first of a series of verses appropriate for college songs. To various members of the Alumni will we be indebted for the composition, while we hope in a short time to be under great obligations to Prof. MacDonald for the music for some of the more select of them. The author of the following desires name withheld.
MARCH — MILES.—Last evening Mr. W. F. March and Miss Lena Miles were married at the residence of the bride's father, Capt. John D. Miles, in South Lawrence. Miss Miles is a former student of K. S. U. and a member of the I. C. Sorosis, which was present in a body, Mr. March is well known to all the students as a most pleasant and affable gentleman. He is at present cashier of the Douglas County Bank and is treasurer of the University. Chancellor Lippincott performed the marriage ceremony. The wedding was a mos brilliant affair and Mr. and Mrs. March were the recipients of a large number of costly and valuable presents. They will make Lawrence their home. THE COURIER wishes them abundant success.

ADA RICHMOND OPERA COMPANY.
The Ada Richmond Opera Company will appear at the opera house Monday evening next. They have been betting some of the best press notices of the season. Through the efforts of Manager March the cut rate 75, 50 and 25 cents has been secured for here. From the Milwaukee Evening News of Sept. 19 we clip—
BURLESQUE AT THE ACADEMY — "The Sleeping Beauty," which will be produced at the Academy next week, commencing Monday evening, by the Ada Richmond Burlesque Company, is founded upon the familiar fairy story about a beautiful princess who is condemned by a fairy to sleep for a hundred years, and who is awakened at the end of that time by a kiss from the inevitable prince, whom she marries. This is the rather slender story of the piece. However, the principal features of the entertainment are said to be entirely independent of the burlesque, which only serves the purpose of introducing marches dances, drills and the latest and most popular songs, including selections from "The Mikado," "Nanon," "The Black Hussar," and other new operas. The popular song "Read the Answer in the Stars," will be given. The costumes are said to be very rich and the chorus girls extremely pretty. A scene representing the Bartoldi statue, with Miss Richmond surrounded by thirty dies in the costume of French zouaves, as Liberty, forms the final of the piece. The ballets, morche and zouave drills are said to be new and beautiful. The company has been playing to good business in Indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago

SHANE'S NEW PHOTOGRAPH GALLERY.
A Herald-Tribune reporter called recently at the new photograph rooms of Captain J. B. Shane, 615 Massachusetts street. A few months ago Mr. Shane found his old gallery inadequate to meet the demands of his increasing business, so he decided to erect a new building, two stories, with the second floor especially arranged for a photograph gallery. The building has been completed, and is among the handsomest on Massachusetts street. The building is of brick and stone. A large stairway gives access from the street to the second floor, where one finds himself on the threshold of a large, elegant reception-room, facing on Massachusetts street, handsomely furnished. A piano adorns one side, while on the other is a large chair, sofas and bright photographed faces adorning the walls. Opening from this is the operating room, 25x28 feet, with the special advantage of an extra sky and side light constructed so as to be utilized as desired. In this room several landscape paintings are nicely arranged, and serve as a background. The furniture is all new and the instruments of the latest and best patterns made. The "Dallmeyer" lens which Captain Shane is using is the largest and best made, and is so acknowledged by the photographic fraternity. With this lens can be taken any sized picture from cabinets to life-size, and is constructed to embrace any angle of picture from 60 to 80 degrees. It can be used with a full opening, and possesses four times greater rapidity than any other lens made. With this lens it makes little difference how cloudy and dim the day, it will do good work. It is especially adapted for instantaneous effects, such as landscapes, etc. The picture produced by this lens is absolutely free from distortion, spots and other faults, which appear with the general make of lenses.
The camera used with this lens is the latest improved Cinema, with lever attachment, by which the most minute adjustment of the focus can be obtained. The lens, camera, stand, and other things that make this instrument complete, cost $600, which makes it the most costly instrument made; so that Lawrence has within her limits a photograph gallery containing the finest instrument known to the photograph profession. Developing trays, printing apparatus, in fact, everything about the establishment is of the oldest and most improved pattern. Taken in its entirety, the gallery is one of the finest and best arranged in point of light, scenery, furniture and instruments, to be found in the West.
Capt. Shane came to Lawrence six years ago and started in the photograph business in a small way, in order to see what the future would develop. Shortly after he started in business, a revolution took place in the methods of making photos. His business increased very rapidly. A few months ago he bounced out the Chicago gallery, and finding his quarters too small to accommodate his increasing business, he concluded to erect the new building he now occupies.
The Chicago gallery, over Hume's shoe store, presided over by Capt Shane's son George, does good work, as the two galleries are run in connection. Captain Shane is to be congratulated for his enterprise, and merits the large business he now enjoys.—Herald-Tribune.
A COURCIER reporter reading the above, and noting that it spoke of facilities in the photograph line he did not believe existed in any gallery in the State, called to verify his doubts. After an hours inspection, he found himself thoroughly convinced. It is one of the finest equipped galleries in the West. Students should take advantage of its facilities while they are here for the year.
LAWRENCE BUSINESS COLLEGE.
Every young and middle-age man or woman should have a thorough business education. There is no question about this. Experience has proved it time and again. A business man's safest capital is his practical knowledge of the principles governing the commercial world, and not the amount he can draw upon his credit for at the bank. How many of our successful business men owe their success to a fortune left them? Not one! How many young men left in the world with a large estate, but with no practical knowledge of how to manage it, come out at the end of ten years with what they started with? Not one! No, not one! but every young man or woman who expects to gain either a moderate or an eminent degree of distinction in the business world must thoroughly acquaint themselves with the laws, usages and methods of business men.
How this can be most readily obtained, is an important question for all. It used to be that a young man would apprentice himself to a merchant and labor two, three or four years at very meagre wages before he could think of entering the commercial race with any reasonable hope of success. But with the improvements of the age has come the Business College of to-day, where all the complications of commerce is reduced to method and taught as a science. Here a pupil learns the practical and expeditional modes of calculation; the duties of shipping clerk, entry and bill clerk, book-keeper and correspondent. He is made familiar with the usages relating to the handling of money, drafts, bills of exchange, negotiable paper, &c. It doesn't take him any three or four years to learn this, as formerly, either. But after six months or a years work in any of our leading Business Colleges of to-day, the young man of average ability finds himself competent to transact business right along with men of experience.
It was our pleasure a few days ago to be shown through the different apartments of the Lawrence Business College, which is second to none in the West. We were first takeup to Prof. McIlravy's office, and shown some very fine specimens of plain and ornamental penmanship and artistic drawing, together with the diplomas awarded for excellence in the several departments, wherever exhibited all over the country. Among these we might mention the first award (blue ribbon) at the Inter-State Exposition held at Kansas City, on best course of study in Commercial College, best sets of book-keeping worked up by students of Commercial College, best miscellaneous penmanship, by E. L. McIlravy, and premium on best display. It also took first premium at Kansas State Fair, held at Topeka, and at the Western National at Bismarck.
We were next taken to the Commercial Law recitation room, which is in charge of Prof. Boor, who is a man of brilliant acquirements, ripe experience, thoroughly versed in the intricacies of Mercantile Law, and eminently able to give one a good understanding of mercantile usages, such as those relating to the handling of money, drafts, bills of exchange, and the laws of maturity and presentation of commercial paper.
We were then shown through the
Book-keeping and Commercial Arithmetic Departments. In each of these branches the work done is very thorough. The student in book keeping is first made familiar with the principles and theory of double entry, then he is taught to apply them to business transactions, thus making practical what he has learned. He is advanced step by step until he has mastered the Day Book, Journal, Ledger, Cash Book, Invoice Book, Sales Book, and a great variety of Special Column Books.
In Commercial Arithmetic, the text-book is in every sense of the word a business arithmetic. Most of the problems have been gathered from business houses in America's metropolis, and whatever has been found necessary for any student in order to master the whole subject of commercial calculations, has been here supplied.
Next we were taken to the main Study Hall, in charge of Professor Wyman. The penmanship classes are taught in this room also. The pupils are doing some fine work in ornamental penmanship. Every thing in the school is carried on in a way that evinces perfect method, harmony and thoroughness in the modes of discipline.
Lastly we were taken to the actua Business Room, where all kinds of business is transacted by means of the National College Bank; the Office Department consisting of a Jobbing house, commission house, and several retail firms, all of which are engaged in business with the students of the Business Practice Department; The Merchants Emporium, which supply at wholesale the stocks of merchandise, and the Commission House, which is the same as any well-regulated commission house.
Thus the student is enabled to carry on a business as complete in its details as that of any well-managed business firm.
Since the establishment of the Lawrence Business College, it has never opened with more flattering prospects for a successful year, than it has this fall. Every department is thoroughly up to its accustomed standard. There is in attendance at present over a hundred pupils, of whom more than one-third are ladies.
It has been the aim of the faculty to place this college upon a plane far above all its contemporaries. No efforts have been withheld nor expenses spared to the accomplishment of this object, and that these efforts have been successful, is fully demonstrated by the prosperous condition of the college at the present time. The college has received numerous encomiums from abroad, and has a reputation second to none in the great West.
We take great pleasure in recommending to the public the faculty of the Lawrence Business College, as it is composed of the most competent and successful professors of the several branches alluded to, in addition to the able president, Prof. E. L. McIrray; assistants, Winans, Boor and Mrs. Rankin.
The objection has been frequently raised against business colleges, that they are too theoretical, and the knowledge students get from them is of no practical utility. But no such objection can be raised against the Lawrence Business College, for they have the most practical courses of any schoolin existence, and their methods are most perfect.
Students can enter at any time and begin their studies without regard to the progress made by others.
It will pay any young man or woman to examine this college before going elsewhere for a business education.

--tion. He was also instructor in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, of which he is an alumnus.
Some of the fraternities are losing sight of the fact that brains are worth more than gold. They are forgetting that the unpolished farmer's boy is oftener a better member than the worn out city dude. The non-fraternity element is gaining many of the strongest men from both city and town.
One of the most noticeable faults of the University is the lack of sociability between old students and new ones. It is a duty of the old students to see that the new ones are made at home and acquainted as soon as possible. After entering, it takes one a year to get fully acquainted with all the students. This we think is owing to the fact that those who were here the year before have no inclination to make the acquaintance of those who have just come in. It is not as it should be; and from this on let us greet the new student with a hearty shake of the hand instead of staring at him or dreamily remaining in deep thought and meditation as he passes by.
In some newspapers the cry that Kansas University is a infidel school has lately been replaced by an alarm that the State's great school is becoming a denominational convent. Both statements are equally false. Every student here enjoys the most perfect immunity from the religious persecution of either liberal or fanatic. He here most fully enjoys the right to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. No student's religion is questioned in any way in the college. The professors are in no way respectors of sects.
No sectarian religion is ever mentioned in the University, but outside the walls nearly every student places himself, of his own free will, under the best of religious instruction and fellowship. Kansas parents may rest assured that their boy or girl is here under the best of influences that train to noble manhood and womanhood.
Two years ago an athletic club was formed by the students of the University, with Mr. Geo Watson as president. The organization ran considerably in debt, and for eighteen months past merchants in Lawrence have been complaining of unpaid bills. When school opened this fall, Mr. Watson, coming up from his home on a visit, spent time and trouble looking up these accounts, and paid them in full out of his own pocket. If there ever was a duty for the members of that athletic association to perform, it is before them now. A meeting should be called at once and money subscribed equal in amount to the sum paid by Mr. Watson, and enough more to pay him for the time and trouble he spent in looking up the matter.
The writer is a member of that organization himself, and if the officers — I believe there are some of them in school at present—will call a meeting he is willing to pay his share.
Through the efforts of the COURSE a meeting was called last year, but its proceedings came to naught, and once more we make a feeble attempt to advocate justice to all. Then come, let each one be willing to contribute his mite to remove the blackest saint that ever darkened the records of the doings of the students of K. S. U.

The new professors have been selected with the greatest care from a large number of applicants. They have already won the lasting friendship of their classes. The students now know them personally, but their history may be of interest:
ADELAIDE RUDOLPH, A. B.
ADDELADE RUDOLPH, A. B
Miss Adelaide Rudolph is a graduate of Hiram College, Ohio. She has devoted herself with great success to teaching in or near the city of Cleveland, Ohio. She is very highly recommended by those who know her, both as to scholarship, ability and success.
Dr. Lucas E. Sayre, the professor of pharmacy, is a graduate of the class of 1866, of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Since graduation he has devoted himself with enthusiasm and success to pharmacy, as a professor. At the time of his appointment to the chair of pharmacy in the University, he was lecturer on Materia Medica and Pharmacy in the Woman's Medical College of Philadelphia, and had charge of the pharmaceutical laboratory of that institution. He was also instructor in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, of which he is an alumnus.
L, E, $AYRE$, PH, G.
In addition to this he is a practical Iruggist, being for some time associated in business with Jos. P. Remington, one of the authors of the U. S. Dispensatory—the druggists' Bible. His contributions to various pharmaceutical journals have been numerous and well received. For several years he was editor of the Philadelphia Druggists' Journal. His practical work as a druggist is well known. For instance, laminated pepsin is manufactured by a process discovered by Dr. Sayre. With the help of the late Prof. Bridges, he originated a valuable disinfectant known as "Bor-alum Sulphate." He is the author of the orgame Materia Medica and a Materia Medica chart. He comes to the University with the highest possible testimonials as to character, as to theoretical and practical knowledge in his chosen profession and as to skill and success in teaching.
A. M. WILCOX, PH. D.
Dr. A. M. Wilcox graduated at Yale. He then took a post graduate course of three years, leading to the degree of Ph.D. He has taught six years, three in one of the New England colleges, with marked success. He has spent a year in Athens in the special study of Archaeology and the modern Greek which he speaks fluently. He has traveled extensively in Europe, acquainting himself with the educational system of Germany.
Since his return from Europe he has been a Fellow by courtesy of Johns Hopkins University, his special work being in the line of Greek and Archaeology. During this time he contributed largely to the American Journal of Archaeology.
P. J. ALDRICH.
Our new professor of vocal music is a native of Massachusetts. Being of a musical family, he has been accustomed to classical music since childhood. He studied vocal music in Boston, under W. H. Daniell and John Hodson, a pupil of Lamperti, the piano with Maas and Emery, the organ with Duham and Whitney. He has added to this a year in Germany. Under his skilful management the vocal musical department promises great things.
MAMIE SIMPSON.
Every old student and every citizen of Lawrence is rejoiced that our new professor of art is one of our own Kansas girls—Miss Mamie Simpson. She is an enthusiast in painting and drawing, and has been the life of Lawrence art for several years. She has changed the bare old drawing room into the coziest of studios. Paintings, drawings, statuary and brice-a-brace show what a woman can do, even in this land of pork and corn.
Miss Simpson is a pupil of Geo. H. Smillie, N. Y. She is a master in drawing, landscape, flower, and fruit painting, in both oil and water color, and is an adept in China decoration. In the latter she had the honor of being instructed by Julia Dillon, of New York City. Thus thoroughly prepared she cannot fail.
--physical training, can never attain the perfection desired. Now if we have a military company, nearly every one would take pride in becoming straight strong and vigorous men, and eventually it would open the way for gymnasium on the plan of our eastern colleges. Something should be done at once, for precious time going. Let us hear from some one else. X.

Student's Views.
No paper has ever been so well supported by the students as the Courier. Business men find it a good advertising medium and are willing to patronize us. It is the only paper in the University in which a student is permitted to give his unbiased views, and is therefore THE STUDENTS' PAPER All are solicited to write for it, and if your article does not appear in the next issue, don't be impatient, for it will be printed some time. All Views must be handed in on Mondays.
A year or so ago we had a base ball club—a club that compared favorably with any in the State—but under musmanagement it has become defunct. Cannot we resurrect the carcass and have another club? We have the best material for a club of any crowd of boys that could be got together in the State, and I say let's organize a club. Here are Neal, Cummings, Davis, Yohe and others who were members of the club in better days. We had a gymnasium then, but alas! where is it now? But let us hope for these blessings in the shape of a gymnasium, medical school greenhouse, etc. In the near (?) future we may hope for these, but let us all go to work and organize a base ball and foot ball club, and take a little more interest in athletic sports. Let us meet next Saturday on the ball grounds and organize these two clubs, and we shall never regret it. E.P.G.
The old adage: "Where there's a will there's always a way," could never be better applied than at present. The boy who to-day wants to go through college, can do so if he has the energy and determination. Many of the best graduates are those who have been compelled to make their way, step by step, meeting with many obstacles, but never daunted, till at last they finish their studies and leave the college, not only with an education, but with a knowledge of how to use that education to their advantage. So boys, if you want to take a college course, do not be discouraged because you do not have at your immediate command the necessary funds, but settle in your minds what you will do, and then go to work with energy and perseverance. Keep your eyes open and be ready to take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself (and there will be many) and almost before you are aware of it you have accomplished your college work and gained a knowledge of the world and its affairs, that will be invaluable to you through life.
OBSERVER.
One very pressing need of the University and students is a gymnasium. The old room under Prof. Miller's room, where the festive prep was wont to stir up the sawdust in his vacant hours, has been turned to some use as a store room for the fossil collections. We must develop our physical man, not by violent exercise in a sawdust heap, but by regular exercise in a good gymnasium. A student cannot spend four or six years in a college course without plenty of good exercise. Two-thirds of those who graduate expect to become public sneakers, and unless they have a good
Too much cannot be said in favor of college songs. Various steps have been taken to secure appropriate words. There can be no question that we need some good rousing songs more than anything else be longing to the paraphenalia of student life. There is something in the old familiar chords connected with associations and recalling memories most dear to our hearts, which appeals most strongly to our nature. The recollection of a grand old college song is without doubt the happiest memory of college life, and would do more to bind to us the hearts of our graduates than even the most affectionate and lasting friendship they may form with us. Let us have some college songs now. The stirring melody of a rousing song will go ringing down the busy years of life, and like a magician's wand will instantaneously conjure the buried past from its silent grave.
ORPHEUS.
I would like to know the meaning of the following, which appears on page 79 of our catalogue: "A course of evening lectures is provided for each year, to be delivered in University hall, by such persons as a committee of the faculty may invite. These lectures are popular discussions of varied scientific and literary topics, of general interest, and are especially designed for the benefit of students." I took this to mean that we were to have some lectures this year, but as some time has passed since the opening of the session and nothing has been said about them, they probably convey some other meaning to the intelligent reader. What does it mean any way? I came here partly to attend these lectures, and I would like to see something done towards the establishment of a course of lectures.
NEW STUDENT.
The thing which is most urgently needed and demanded by every student who gives the subject the consideration of an idle moment, is a cooperative association to regulate the price of books and school supplies. As it is, the students are forced to pay whatever is asked, the prices being kept down only by the competition of two or three houses. The same amount of money which is yearly spent by two hundred and forty students would, under a system of cooperation, supply four hundred with the same amount. As it is, each individual student buys his own books, and consequently pays two prices for them. The students' money is just as good as merchants', and they are entitled to the benefits of wholesale buying. Let the matter be adjusted, and let us have a Students' Cooperative Book Association. F. A. M.
K. S. U. needs a little more practical advertising than it gets. The people should see some of the professors, should hear them lecture at the Normals. They should convince all the rigidly righteous that the University is not an "Infidel School." If you had heard this charge as much as I have this summer, you would think so. The expenses of these professors should be paid by the State, and should not be subtracted from their salary. Of course the newspapers can do a great deal; but it takes all to make the University what it should be. MeG.

Here is W. Y. Morgan's salutatory to his Chase Co. Daily Leader readers;
"It is not our intention to apologize for the publication of the Daily Leader. It is now before the people of chase county, and will rest solely upon its merits. Our course will be independent, and we will always speak out for the best man at ten cents a line. The interests of the county and the county fair will be ours so long as the press has power and the advertisers pay up. The subscription price has been placed very low in order to reach the rich men. It is always the rich who can't afford to pay their subscriptions. As the Daily Leader is free, we expect a large number of paid up subscribers. Friends will confer a favor by reporting any item of news. If you desire to help us, and don't know any other way, knock some one down, and we will write up the result.
The new building which bears the Leader flag has been erected and furnished without regard to expense. Come and see us. Take a seat on our plush-covered nail keg or the Eastlake cracker box. Put your feet on the rosewood table and be comfortable. Files of the daily papers will be at your service. Make yourself at home."
On Monday afternoon quite a curious specimen from "the lake" was shown Prof. Snow by a gentleman of this city, who wished to exhibit it to the school and interpret its wonders. It was a slightly irregular brown stone, six inches long by one and a half in breadth and thickness, covered with inscriptions of animals, wigwams, bows, arrows, guns, crosses, and a profile of a face. The meaning of these the owner seemed quite able to explain, although he had found it but two days before. After examining it, the professor concluded that ten dollars was too much money to invest in a reel that, to him, seemed so "new," and the finder is yet in quest of a purchaser.

There was quite a large attendance at Oread last Friday. The literary program was short, but good. L. A. Stebbins and Fannie Pratt rendered good declamations, and Hattie Haskell read an excellent essay on "Fiction." After recess the question,
"Resolved, That poetry exercises a stronger influence over the human mind than history or philosophy," was debated on the affirmative by Dunn and Jenks, and on the negative by Stebbins and Harrington. The question was decided in favor of the negative. This being the day for the election of yearly officers, the following were elected: Financial Secretary, Sharvard; Treasurer, Harrington; Executive Committee, Jenks, Lowe and Keys. The six-weeks officers elected last week were installed. There was a notable lack of music.

The encouragement we received the past season from the best trade for the superior quality, style and make of our Goods convinces us that the trade requires a better class of CLOTHING than formerly.
Having that aim in mind, we have, for the Fall Trade, had our styles, make and trimmings, improved, besides introducing such rovelies as no house can equal.
While it is our aim to introduce to the trade a superior class of Clothing, we also keep in mind that our prices must be such as to meet with the favor of the trade.
We shall at all times be pleased to have our Goods and Prices compared with those of our competitors.

ished, and entitled him to a leading place among the orators."
"France and the Huguenot" was the subject of a splendid oration by T. H. McMichael, of Monmouth College. This was probably the best oration, delivery and subject matter together. Smooth, easy and clear, his delivery attracted general admiration. The speaker's ability to express the different shades of feeling and thought was remarkable. "The judges gave first prize to Walsh, of Chicago, and the second to McMichael, of Monmouth. Champaign got third place as usual. On the whole it was one of the best contests we have had for some time, and the citizens of Carlineville were highly pleased with the entertainment."

VIEWS.
--age societies in the United States are those which hold their sessions a the evening. The arduous duties of the scholastic week so weary and attigue the diligent student and consume his time, that Friday afternoon brings to him a desire for aew minutes of rest—a breathing spell. There are many minor duties neglected through the week which we can pass no longer. Many students have permanent employment for afternoons; others desire a boat ride, others rest, while all would much rather "recrerte" than return to the literary societies to tire their already fatigued faculties. Furthermore, evening entertainments are always more appreciated and better attended than afternoon assemblages. If the plan of evening sessions could be adopted, those who were to take part in the evening exercises might have a few hours on Friday afternoon for preparation and practice, and thus the literary work need not interfere with lessons during the week. On Friday evening all the students are at leisure, and would much rather spend the evening at the societies than loiter about their rooms, loaf on the streets, or engage in useless group gossip. Besides, the Lawrence people would favor us with a large audience if we met at a suitable hour and made our entertainments more interesting. Then why not adopt the plan that will suit everybody? Why not remove the greatest barrier which now impedes our societies? This is one of the most important departments of our University work, then why should not the faculty give it some personal supervision? Come, venerable fathers, lend us a helping hand. For many years has this "neglected child" of K. S. U. struggled along under the most unfavorable circumstances. We do not even now complain. We simply beg a privilege—a permission. Grant it and we will speedily make "Oread" and "Orophilian" just objects of your pride. Does any one fear to extend the privilege of entering the University at night to any student of K. S. U? Shame on him. We love those classic halls too well to mar a single stone. Now, we besech these, listen. We are neither a dude nor a demagogue. We are extremely sincere. Let us all答应 this matter. There are "ten arguments to one" in favor of the proposition. Who says no?
AN UNPARDONABLE BLUNDER.
Editor Views:—In the Phi Gamma Delta Courier of last week some imperious demogogue again and acadiously, insolently and impudently resurrected the unpleasant memories of the Athletic Association. A diligent search having failed to reveal the perpetrator of this unpardonable insult, we take this opportunity of publicly informing him that his article displays a deplorable weakness in expediency, a singular lack of knowledge of the facts, and a remarkable substitution of falsehoods for truth. Much credit is due Mr. Watson for the generosity with which he contributed both his time and money to paying the unsettled bills of the A. A But Mr. Watson did not pay all these debts from his own pocket. There were others who subscribed liberally and paid the full amount subscribed. But we do not wish to detract one iota from the praise due Mr. Watson; we simply desire to inform this would-be editor that he has done the officers of the A. A., as well as other good students, a positive injustice.
Young man, if you ever expect to be justified in aspiring to the profession of journalism, you must learn to inquire into facts and circumstances more fully. Get over that unbridled fanaticism for reform. Be more conservative. Don't advocate more than ten great enterprises at the same time. In your wild delirium for "something to write about," do not be so bosty as to seize upon some subject about which you know nothing. *\*
A SUGGESTION.
Ed. Views:—"Hear me for my cause."
Why should our literary societies not meet on Friday evening instead of Friday afternoon? Investigation, emphasized by our own experience, has convinced us that the best col-

Oratorical.
On Friday, the second of this month, the Illinois, Oratorical Contest was held at Carlineville, that State. Eight colleges sent representatives, and Shurtleff college made application for admission but was ruled out. The following is the order in which the different institutions stood:
F. J. Walsh, of Chicago University; T. H. McMichael, Monmouth College; H. M. Morse, University of Illinois; Chas. L. Johnson, Knox College; J. L. Hunter, Blackburn University; L. B. Stringer, Lincoln University; S. C. Hay, Wesleyan; F. L. Strawn, Illinois College. From this it will be seen that we are to receive a visit from Messrs. Walsh and McMichael, as representatives from Illinois. The *Illini* says of their orations and decisions:
"Mr. Young, of Lincoln, chairman of the evening, then introduced the first orator, F. J. Walsh, of Chicago University. His delivery was excellent, smooth, deliberate, and polished, and entitled him to a leading place among the orators."
"France and the Huguenot" was the subject of a splendid oration by T. H. McMichael, of Monmouth College. This was probably the best oration, delivery and subject matter together. Smooth, easy and clear, his delivery attracted general admiration. The speaker's ability to express the different shades of feeling and thought was remarkable.
"The judges gave first prize to Walsh, of Chicago, and the second to McMichael, of Monmouth. Champaign got third place as usual. On the whole it was one of the best contests we have had for some time, and the citizens of Carlineville were highly pleased with the entertainment."

VIEWS.
AN UNPARDONABLE BLUNDER
Editor Views:—In the Phi Gamma Delta Conrier of last week some imperious demogogue again audaciously, insolently and impudently resurrected the unpleasant memories of the Athletic Association. A diligent search having failed to reveal the perpetrator of this unpardonable insult, we take this opportunity of publicly informing him that his article displays a deplorable weakness in expediency, a singular lack of knowledge of the facts, and a remarkable substitution of falsehoods for truth. Much credit is due Mr. Watson for the generosity with which he contributed both his time and money to paying the unsettled bills of the A. A. But Mr. Watson did not, pay all these debts from his own pocket. There were others who subscribed liberally and paid the full amount subscribed. But we do not wish to detract one iota from the praise due Mr. Watson; we simply desire to inform this would-be editor that he has done the officers of the A. A., as well as other good students, a positive injustice.
Young man, if you ever expect to be justified in *aspiring* to the profession of journalism, you must learn to inquire into facts and circumstances more fully. Get over that unbridled fanaticism for reform. Be more conservative. Don't advocate more than ten great enterprises at the same time. In your wild delirium for "something to write about," do not be so hasty as to seize upon some subject about which you know nothing. $ ^{*} ^{*} $
A SUGGESTION.
No. 5.
Ed. Views:—"Hear me for my cause."
Why should our literary societies not meet on Friday evening instead of Friday afternoon? Investigation, emphasized by our own experience, has convinced us that the best college societies in the United States are those which hold their sessions on the evening. The arduous duties of the scholastic week so weary and fatigue the diligent student and consume his time, that Friday afternoon brings to him a desire for a few minutes of rest—a breathing spell. There are many minor duties neglected through the week which he can pass no longer. Many students have permanent employment for afternoons; others desire a boat ride, others rest, while all would much rather "recrerte" than return to the literary societies to tire their already fatigued faculties. Furthermore, evening entertainments are always more appreciated and better attended than afternoon assemblages. If the plan of evening sessions could be adopted, those who were to take part in the evening exercises might have a few hours on Friday afternoon for preparation and practice, and thus the literary work need not interfere with lessons during the week. On Friday evening all the students are at leisure, and would much rather spend the evening at the societies than loiter about their rooms, loaf on the streets, or engage in useless group gossip. Besides, the Lawrence people would favor us with a large audience if we did not remove the greatest barrier which now impedes our societies? This is one of the most important departments of our University work, then why should not the faculty give it some personal supervision? Come, venerable fathers, lend us a helping hand. For many years has this "neglected child" of K. S. U. struggled along under the most unfavorable circumstances. We do not even now complain. We simply beg a privilege—a permission. Grant it and we will speedily make "Oread" and "Orophilian" just objects of your pride. Does any one fear to extend the privilege of entering the University at night to any student of K. S. U? Shame on him. We love those classic halls too well to mar a single stone. Now, we beseech the listen, We are neither a dude nor a demagogue. We are extremely sincere. Let us all agitate this matter. There are "ten arguments to one" in favor of the proposition. Who says no?
Serenely yours,
Joe C. Phus.

THOSE who have promised THE COURIER verses for college songs and have not mailed them yet should attend to it at once. We want to use them.
FRANK P. MAOLENNON, 75, for years past the efficient business manager of The News, at Emporia, has disposed of his interest therein, but will yet remain in the field of journalism.
THE Law department opens next week. As the Dean will give his exclusive attention to its wants this year, it promises to be the most prosperous since its establishment.
STUDENTS, write letters about the University to your home county papers and tell all about the advantages of attending K. S. U. above all other institutions in the United States.
THE COURIER in a former issue suggested the propriety of holding the law recitation at some more seasonable hour than 8 a. m. Since then we have heard several speak in regard to the matter and they were all of the opinion that it would be a decided improvement. As it seems to us there is not one valid objection to holding the recitation, either at 10 a. m. or at some time in the afternoon. To many the later would be preferable.
--should be. In this way the attention of many young men who are thinking of going away, out of the State, for special study in some one of these lines, would be attracted and upon investigation might come here instead. It is a plan that can be carried out with very little trouble and is worthy a trial.
The city has at last began to stir itself about Robinson avenue and side walks on Tennessee street. It is a crying shame that it has not been done before. The student every year leave over $75,000 cash in the place besides the money paid out by the State in running the institution. That a little improvement which would facilitate the approach to the University, as the grading of Robinson avenue would, should be hagged about as much as it has, is a shame. The fact that the city finances have been involved for the past year is some excuse but the money for that improvement could have been obtained in some way and it ought to have been done. It speaks well for the final completion of the work that Mayor Poehler is an enthusiastic advocate of the grading and fixing up of the avenue as soon as possible.
We occasionally receive an exchange in the State Press speaking of religious sectarianism, etc., in K. S. U. To this worn out charge we can only repeat there is no compulsory attendance of divine services connected with the curriculum of K. S. U. Yet there are daily chapel services non-denominational and in the city of Lawrence there are twenty-three churches holding at least weekly services.
--should be. In this way the attention of many young men who are thinking of going away, out of the State, for special study in some one of these lines, would be attracted and upon investigation might come here instead. It is a plan that can be carried out with very little trouble and is worthy a trial.
As will be seen from our columns the Illinois people have already held their oratorical contest and their representatives are selected for the inter-State contest. By this means they obtain several weeks in which to prepare, that other States will not have. This matter should receive immediate attention from the Kansas association and from our local association. There is no reason why we cannot here hold our contest at any time, whether the time for the State contest has been set or not. Let the officers of our local association move in the matter at once.
The question as to how much money should be given a student for incidentals, is now what many papers are considering and it is one of considerable importance in more than the mere monitary sense. Too much money is worse than too little. But there should be a happy medium. There are many little expenses that a student should have money to meet just as much as to pay his board, for instance subscription to a college paper or to purchase stock, society dues, subscription to base ball or boat clubs, &c. It does not take much but it affords most of the pleasure that a student has, and if he desires to have any standing among his fellow students it is indispensible. But too much pocket money often has a tendency to make the fortunate or unfortunate possessor devote too much time to spending it greatly to the detriment of his studies.
--should be. In this way the attention of many young men who are thinking of going away, out of the State, for special study in some one of these lines, would be attracted and upon investigation might come here instead. It is a plan that can be carried out with very little trouble and is worthy a trial.
The following very pretty little poem from the pen of a former student of the University of Kansas, accidentally came into our possession. We print it with pleasure, and would like to get further contributions of the same kind.
AT SUNSET
Like the murmur of rippling waters,
As they part upon the sands;
Like the laughter of fairest daughters
E' er caressed by human hands.
Like the laughter not loud and merry,
Like the murmur—not bolstered and rude,
With a sadness they strive to bury,
With a sigh they would hide if they could.
Like these are the thoughts that come o'er me
At the close of a weary day,
When darkness closes around me,
When fades the sun's last ray.
That allure provides weary sick
Nor cool and hard I ween.
But are tinged with a shade of gladness
And of pleasures my life has seen.
But the pleasures of life are forgotten,
And I pass them wearily by.
While the bane of love was but rotten
And she propped her weary sigh
Yet take for human existence
'Tis at best but a weary dream.
But a fight with some unseen resistance,
But a struggle to be what we seem.
* * * * * *
Now the sun has gone down with its glowing:
Gone down behind yonder hills,
Yet where other clear waters are flowing,
It's beauty the landscape sails.
So in life, when adversities lower,
When outcasts meet an unclear,
Shifting beyond mountains that town
Which we mess—and our rest is near.
ONE of the most sickening spectacles of our college life is the lack of manhood shown by an occasional student in allowing themselves willingly to be made the servile tool for the dirty work of some fraternity. One of the "barb" editors of THE COURIER last year was so worked by a fraternity for its "frat puffs" throughout the year. This year we see him carrying the brunt of dishonorable schemes they have entered into. The members of a fraternity themselves cannot but despise such a tool as this man is. Although every student in the university knows who this particular man is, his is only a prominent example of a too large class in our midst.
--should be. In this way the attention of many young men who are thinking of going away, out of the State, for special study in some one of these lines, would be attracted and upon investigation might come here instead. It is a plan that can be carried out with very little trouble and is worthy a trial.
Ir is quite common for the fraternities of K. S. U. to give entertainments to which their lady friends are invited and as a rule there are no more pleasant and agreeable affairs. It is by no means common, however for the gentlemen of a rival fraternity to create any disturbance during such a gathering but this was just what occurred about a week ago. While of course, the boys can stand a great deal of yelling and hammering on the stairs, the merest courtesy to their lady friends requires that the boys of the rival frats should either keep out of the building at the time or conduct themselves like gentlemen, which until this case they have always been held to be.
If the generous policy toward the University pursued by the legislature at the last two sessions is continued for the next few years there is no reason why the U. of K. cannot obtain a reputation equal to the University of Michigan. It is the special departments that give an institution its reputation. Ann Arbor's law school has done more to make that institution known as it is, all through the west, than the literary department. Of course this must be up to the standard, but in itself would never give prominence, unless certain branches as is the case in many of the larger eastern schools are conducted by professors, whose reputation virtually makes them specialists. We look for much from our special schools in Law, Chemistry, Natural History and Pharmacy and that they are not more generally advertised is a mistake. Much of this work could be done by students if they would give it a little attention. Prof. Canfield, at one time, introduced a very benign practice into one of his English classes. He required each student to write an essay at stated periods, in the form of a communication from Lawrence to a newspaper in which the University came in for a fair mention. These were handed in, corrected and then sent to the local paper whence the student came. Most papers would be glad to get such letters for publication and the benefit the University would derive would be great. Why cannot some such plan be carried out this year. The advantages offered for the study of law, chemistry, assaying, and other special branches are not as generally known as they
Autumn Musings.
---
In former years the students have listened to daily sermons in chapel about the waste of time consumed by social parties. Without doubt some students have given too much time to these things, but the great majority have found rather a pleasant recreation from hard work in this manner. As the faculty themselves have been cultivating their social qualities by various picnics and parties this year, I hope that we will hear no more howlings on this subject. Let the students become accomplished in social as well as intellectual attainments, and they will go forth into the world as better men and women.
The members of a certain fraternity in K. S. U. are envious of a rival society, which has sometimes been aided by its lady friends in getting new members. It is well known that the ladies have broken over no bound of decorum in doing this, and any insinuation to the contrary is low, contemptible slander, to which no gentleman would stoop. These silly, jealous little children should be satisfied with the slanders they have been circulating about the boys, and at least exhibit enough manhood to keep from venting their spleen on the ladies.
There is no class of students more tiresome than those who are forever fawning upon some fraternity for admittance to its membership. In one election they will work and vote for one fraternity, and failing to obtain their object, they endeavor to work some other society. Such persons are very seldom taken in by any society, but are despised by all, and become the laughing stock of the school. I know of one student who works two fraternities alternately, and though not a bad man, he has los the respect of both. He is like a girl who has been in the matrimonial market for some time, having no particular fault, but eyed with suspicion by all. It may be all right to wish to join a good fraternity, but he is certainly unmany and without self-respect who tries to get into a circle where he is not wanted.
While not in favor of voluntary recitations altogether, it seems to me that some relaxation of discipline should be allowed to the Junior and Senior years. These higher classes are under the same regulations as the preps. I think that since their studies are optional, that their recitations should be partly voluntary at least, if not altogether.
The report comes to us that a social entertainment given by one of the fraternities was recently interrupted by the members of a rival. This is the more surprising from the fact that the members of this rival fraternity have always been considered gentlemen in every sense of the word and are the last ones from whom any such thing would be expected. They could not have considered for a moment or they would not have engaged in such a proceeding.
Why is it that good board cannot be obtained here as cheap as at Ann Arbor or other universities? Every student knows how difficult it is to obtain good board and lodging for less than $4.50 or $5.00 per week. This should be changed and students should be furnished good board at from $3.50 to $4.00. We are informed that this is the case in most other situations in the West, the University of Michigan having been referred to in particular. The large number of clubs this year, as far as the boys are concerned, helps the matter out but it is not pleasant for young ladies to board and lodge at different places and in winter would be disagreeable in the extreme. Who will be the good samaritan to start some students boarding houses? Not Smith.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO FLORIDA To the World's Fair at New Orleans, or to any point South, and wish to have a pleasant trip, you will need to be informed as to the best, quickest and cheapest route. The Memphis Short route South, with its Through Buffet Sleeping Cars Kansas City to New Orleans, its Free Rechining Chair Cars Kansas City to Memphis (and being over one hundred miles the shortest line to the South), is practically the only line from Kansas City, the West and Northwest, to all Southern cities. No other line runs through cars between Kansas City and New Orleans. No other route can offer but one change of cars from Kansas City to Jacksonville and other Florida points. There is no other good route between the West and the South. Ask your Ticket Agent for tickets via the Memphis Short Route. Write for large map, with Time Tables, showing through connections.

The encouragement we received the past season from the best trade for the superior quality, style and make of our Goods, convinces us that the trade requires a better class of CLOTHING than formerly.
Having that aim in mind, we have, for the Fall Trade, had our styles, make and trimmings, improved, besides introducing such novelties as no house can equal.
While it is our aim to introduce to the trade a superior class of Clothing, we also keep in mind that our prices must be such as to meet with the favor of the trade.
We shall at all times be pleased to have our Goods and Prices compared with those of our competitors.

Miss Emma White entertained the I. C.'s last Thursday evening. The immediate cause of the "grub" was the initiation of Lena Beard. The I. C.'s have been very successful this year and deserve the congratulations they are receiving.
E. W. Walter, the efficient chemist and assayer of the firm of Timmons & Co., started this morning for San Francisco, where he will take a position as chemist of a life insurance company. He is a young man of bright promise and his many friends will wish him every success.—Aspera College Daily News. Here is another of our Kansas University boys on the road to fame. Long, Morris, Haworth, Walter—next! The Courier congratulates you, Walter, and the chemistry boys send their love.

To Whom it May Concern:
For the past eight months the regular issue of the WEEKLY COURIER has been 1,000 copies.
The fraternities, like corporations, seem to have no souls. Brace up and act like men.
--the non-fraternity editors have placed the original motto of the Courier at the head of this paper. "Not for ourselves alone." All parties must be represented. The spirit of the Courier remains the same.
Thorough work pays. The shirking student is soon as unstable as a house without a foundation.
--the non-fraternity editors have placed the original motto of the Courier at the head of this paper. "Not for ourselves alone." All parties must be represented. The spirit of the Courier remains the same.
The Topeka Capital copied our article concerning the new professors. Kansas citizens take a deep interest in their State University.
--the non-fraternity editors have placed the original motto of the Courier at the head of this paper. "Not for ourselves alone." All parties must be represented. The spirit of the Courier remains the same.
Students will do well to remember that they are not only training the intellect, but that they are now also forming or deforming character.
Read L. A. Stebbins' article from the beginning of Students' Views to his signature. It is a just and thorough statement of the fraternity question.

The regents can make no better investment than to put $1000 into a greenhouse. The sale of flowers and plants alone would far exceed the interest.
The south slope of Mt. Oread is the finest location in Kansas for a greenhouse. It would there be convenient to the engine house and to the Natural History building.
.
The fraternities are very nearly bands of robbers controlled by a few unscrupulous leaders. They need not be thus. A reform is needed, for "There's something rotten in Denmark."

The COURIER presents its promised enlargement this week. This is made possible by the hearty support of the students and the generous patronage of Lawrence business men. As these increase, the COURIER will yet more increase.
The good old Courier motto again floats at the top of our columns. "Non Nobis Solum"—not for ourselves alone, but for every student does the Courier Co. publish this paper, thus making this THE STUDENTS' PAPER. All factions not otherwise represented on college journals have here a place. The Courier stockholders do not elect the "best" (politician) nor the "ablest" (schemer) but choose representative men from all the factions.
--the non-fraternity editors have placed the original motto of the Courier at the head of this paper. "Not for ourselves alone." All parties must be represented. The spirit of the Courier remains the same.
At the earnest request of the non-
fraternity element of this University,
.
J. W. Gieed, our third professor in the Law department, is one of our own men. He graduated in 1880, filled our chair in Greek one year, traveled a year in Europe, studied for two years in the Columbia Law School, and then settled down to practice in Topeka..
In other columns the COURTER presents to its readers a number of Kansas University songs. Many others have been handed in, and will be published soon. Students and alumni are earnestly solisited to write songs and send them in for publication. Thus you can help make a good collection of K. S. U. songs, and from all good the students can choose the best.
. .
We can urge the clims of the Courier upon the students in no stronger words than those of our first and ever loyal editor, Charley Dart: "The non-fraternity element was never fairly represented until the inception of the Courier, but it has been ever since, and doubtless will be until that paper shall go down before its enemies, or the treachery of its so-called friends," Which, please fate, shall never be. Long live the Courier!
--outgrowth of this is a ceaseless endeavor on the part of each to find something to condemn in the one and an equally strong determination to see nothing but perfection in the chosen few which are associated with him. This kind of thing tends to self conceit, and this is undesirable wherever found, and in whatever form. I have heard students of scholarly attainments who as a usual thing can judge of men and things with no inconsiderable amount of fairness and accuracy, time after time in this University of Kansas, stand and abuse fellow students in a shameful manner, and when forced to make some specific charges against them, it was found that they could make none, and that really the reason for the dislike was that they belonged to some opposing faction.
One of the first remarks a visitor to the University makes is: "What a lot of stoop shouldered, hollow chested young men attend this school. Have they no gymnasium or any place where they can exercise their muscles and build up their physical bodies?" We are compelled to answer "No." The only gymnasium we have is that which nature has kindly left us in the shape of a hill, and which we gladly climb every morning for the benefit there is in it. Although there are some well built, robust and lively boys and girls attending the University, it is nevertheless too true that the physical constitutions of a great many are frightful to behold. Does the great State of Kansas want to carry her sons through a course of study and let each on the day of his graduation deliver a speech with one foot on the rostrum and the other in the grave? To this we must loudly answer "No!!"
Will the regents of this institution not do something to remedy this terrible defect? Can they not see the need of a gymnasium each and every time they visit the University? It is needless to say that they do not know the advantage of a strong physical constitution in active life. They know that although great books and great speeches have been written by weak and hump shouldered men, health and strength are never failing helps to the orator, statesman, author and every other profession one can undertake.
If some one were hired to keep things in order and exercise made compulsory, a gymnasium could be well kept and great benefit derived from the affair. So let us hope that at the next meeting of the regents they will take some action on this grave matter.
Some students who have great fore-sight, exercise with dumb bells and Indian clubs, and play ball every day, but this breaks in on their study hours and is as much of a drawback as a gain. What we want is a well lighted, well ventilated and well stocked gymnasium, with some one to tend to it, give timid ones instructions and urge them on, and not a dingy, dusty, foul-aired room in the cellar filled with a few Indian clubs and dumb bells and heaps of sawdust, as we once had.
Students' Views.
There is probably no college adjunct about which there is, as to its merits or demerits, a greater diversity of opinion among our students than the Greek fraternity. The new student is bewildered by hearing on every side such terms as Frat, Greek, Frat Spiker, Barb, Kat, Phi Kapps, Phi Gamm, Sigma Nu, and the like; and upon making inquiry of Mr A. is told in a very condescending and patronizing way that Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Gamma Delta, etc., are the names of certain secret organizations among the students, to which all students of ability and prominence in the University belong; that it is a great honor to belong to a good fraternity; that this is the only war by which the benefits of the most refined society intercourse can be obtained.
All this makes a profound impression upon the new student's mind until happening to get into conversation with Mr. B, upon the same subject, he is told that the Greek fraternity is the one great cause of our University. That a person with a spark of manhood about him will rise up and swear as Hammibal of old: "Eternal hatred to our common enemy!" "Eternal devotion to the interests of the barb!" Nor is the confusion wrought in his mind made to vanish when he finds that the sentence enunciated by Mr. A. are echoed by a score of our best students, but no more loudly than are those of Mr. B, reiterated by his followers.
* *
The causes of these widely divergent opinions are not hard to find. The fraternity man must defend his own fraternity or acknowledge himself identified with a bad organization; and then to speak ill of it means to be dropped by his fellow fraternity men as a man drops a hot poker. While on the other hand, the anti-fraternity man not being of the organization himself, expects little or nothing from them, and sees or thinks he sees in bringing them into disrepute his only hope for getting a slice of the college honors bestowed by his fellow students. Hence the new student who would judge fairly of the good or evil wrought by the Greek fraternities in our University, must first carefully observe for himself their effect upon the University as a whole and the students individually. He must first ser训ize them through the eyes of unprejudiced generous broad mindedness.
I can conceive of but one truly laudable aim of a Greek fraternity, but one source from which a person joining one might reasonably expect to be made nobler and better, and that is the formation of a few ties of friendship which might last long after he has gone out into the busy world; mutual impressions of friendly devotion which neither the chilling events of adversity nor the slow destroyer, time, could efface. This—though I in no wise speak from experience—looks to me to be at least possible, but granting this to be so, the man contemplating entering some fraternity must bear in mind that these few will be few indeed, for he cannot reasonably expect to establish such intimate ties of friendship with even all of his own chosen "set," and those friendships that are made stronger may be at the expense of the loss of twice that number belonging to another "set."
One objection which the new student should consider well before identifying himself with a fraternity, is its propagation of narrow-mindedness when judging one's companions. To be Greek means to be at sword's points with some half dozen or so opposing fraternities. The natural
Another evil which must be laid at the door of the fraternity is the tendency which they foster to elevate incompetent men to positions of honor. This comes in the natural course of things. Students know that in unity there is strength. They are ambitious. When you talk of keeping this unity in fraternity out of politics you are talking of a combination of circumstances incompatible with nature.
Mr. X is a fraternity man. As for his reputation as a student, he has none. His attempts at oratory have been failures; his style as a writer is awkward; but yet he is the shrewdest politician and combination maker in the institution. These organizations of students open up a field of labor adapted to his peculiar genius. He renders his fraternity invaluable service by the management of some election. What is the result? Why's his fraternity sums up as one man and says Mr. X must have something. No one doubts that Mr. X is not eligible for anything, so he gets something; or perhaps Mr. X is not a good politician, but is one of the best of social fellows, and as a Greek in good standing, is eligible to anything he can get.
In the proportion that fraternity combinations are perfected, the necessity for and strife toward eminent ability cease. Not only this, but to perfect these combinations takes time, and time spent in this way means time taken from study, and means a decrease in our average of scholarship. Do you doubt that time that ought to be devoted to study is spent in this way? If so, you shut your eyes to what is occurring about you every day. You may say this is not the fault of the fraternity, but of the individuals who are so foolish as to spend their time in this way. In reply to this I would quote the old adage: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Remove this field of labor and they will cease to work in it.
✧ ✧
Some one says combinations for political purposes might be worked up just the same if we had no fraternities. This is true only to a very limited extent. Where ten or fifteen persons act as one man, the incentive to this kind of work is ten or fifteen times as strong as it would be if each student acted independent of his fellows. I am well aware that many of our best students are members of fraternities, and while I have no doubt that they are productive of some little good, yet after a careful survey of the whole field as far as it is possible for a non-fraternity man to see, I am forced to the conclusion that if Kansas University had never seen one of these organizations it would be fully as well off and possibly better off than it now is.
L. A. STEBBINS.
A few nights ago a few of our most enterprising students paid their respects to the poor old observatory. While I am in favor of the students conducting themselves in a manner becoming to gentlemen, I do not think that too much can be said in praise of these persons, who ever they may be, for showing their disgust for a building which rivals in the beauty of architecture and the genius of its design, a barn intended to accommodate one horse. It is indeed a pity that they did not roll the old thing over the hill and rid old Mt. Oread of its presence. The first building a person spies on ascending Adams street is the little structure which we are pleased to call an observatory. Truly, if a person from one of our sister states could see this structure he would think that this is a strange representative of a State whose citizens call it the most progressive State in the union. It seems to me that it is time for us to stop our boasting until an observatory replaces the old shanty. The boys told the whole story when they painted on its west gable "Ad astra per aspera"—To the stars through difficulties. How long will the State compel us to practice its motto? ATHRONOMER.
Chapel rhetoricals begin in a few weeks. If the selections are governed by the rule of former years, a handful of patriotic students will assemble every morning to listen to the mechanical delivery of orations or declamations uninteresting alike to the speaker and the audience. If a student choose a political speech or a discourse on current topics referring indirectly even to politics, he is told to look again, for such selections are not allowed in chapel. The only reason assigned for this is that upon questions of general interest different people may hold different opinions and consequently a discourse on such a subject may call forth a reply, and this again lead to a sort of debate. Such logic passes comprehension. The faculty desire a large attendance in chapel, and yet they practically prevent the possibility of such an attendance by refusing to allow attractive and entertaining exercises. I seems to me that a student should be allowed to speak whatever he wishes and if a little interest or excitement is aroused, so much the better. Surely there could be no harm in a free discussion of public questions. S.
I see that you are making a noble fight for a greenhouse, medical school and an observatory. May you again be as successful as you were in obtaining the natural history building. There is another matter which I be lieve ought to be drummed on nor and forever more—or until it is granted. As the Courier is "Sore labore bath, balm of hurt minds, chief nourisher in life's feast, etc.," where could the students find a better champion for their rights? Did not you get to natural history building, Prof. Nirols' new telescope, the chemistry building, a large per cent. of our library and the appropriation for the salaries of our chancellor and faculty ever since you have blessed the world with your presence? But I crave another boon. We all want to be excused from examination if we attain an average class standing of ninety per cent. Now it may seem below the dignity of the Courier in championing this - our right-but I am confident that a half a column in each issue could be spent to no better advantage than to insist on this. Any one with a moderate amount of reason and intelligence can see that it would suit every one better than the barbarous old way of taking examinations.

Nothing comes and goes like fame

Sorrow cankers every joy,
Youth is full of folly:

EXCHANGF.
The Hastings Colleague, like Esau, has every eastern college paper fighting it. Let us have peace.
The Spy comes to us from Peekskill. Its searching articles and allseeing editors please us in many ways.
The Ottawa Campus is a daisy in its meadow. Its last is bright and sparkling. Our Ottawa boys have seized upon it now.
The Scholastic contains a long article on that original subject: "The Immortality of the Soul," and it really says some new things about it.
The Hatchet is a sharp little magazine from the Pacific. Its clear cut words get at the roots of things. It has the true western vim.
The Baldwin Index is the same old paper, and never tires of printing high flown ministerial oratory. September's issue is as poetical as ever.
The Hillsdale College Herald is so full of student's essays and column marriage notices that we wonder where the Hillsdale students get their news. From the city papers we persume.
The True Educator attempts to journalize the South Lancaster Academy and at the same time perform the office of a teachers' paper. All things considered it does this very well.
The University is much like the old Index from which it grew. It is now published at Chicago. Its pages are filled with good articles from college professors in all parts of the country. It is an inter-collegiate faculty organ.
The Callanan Corrant, a monthly published by the young ladies of Callanan College, Des Moines, Iowa, has made its first appearance. It is bright and newsy, and much credit is due the ladies of that institution for publishing so able a college journal.
The Sedalia University Review shows the muddy footprints of the faculty on every page. Long winded advice, columns of rules and essays fill its four large pages. But away in one corner, in fine type, we found eleven "University notes."
The Vidette Reporter is one of the best college weeklys we have read. It does not fail to give its readers plenty of personals and locals. It also adds a few literary articles for variety. The article in last week's on John Brown is worth reading.
The Industrialist comes every week from the Manhattan Agricultural College. It is entirely controlled by the faculty, and contains few college news. But it tells all about the farm and the stock and the experiments, and hence is a good paper for Kansas farmers. In no sense is it a college paper. It is an agricultural journal.
The Kansas University Review is our sister, and we are proud of her. October's issue is just from the press. It has more of a literary tone than usual. "The Hero of an Idyl" is amusing. Ross Wemple writes of Southern Arizona. J. E. Curry again drags the much suffering Jew from his grave. Nellie G. Thacher gives a good description of the "Grand Canion of the Colorado." Arthur G. Canfield's Shaksperian Criticism is refreshingly different from the usual western political economy article.
Autumn Musings.
See advertisement of J. L. Berkey.
They tell me Oread has been converted into a literary society. Well! well!
Apropos of the Devil's Auction at Adah Richmond divertissements, I am reminded of a rich, rare incident of a few years since. One of the popular representatives of the opera bouffe school, who is always insured of a large and fashionable audience in the classic city, was billed for a certain night. By some wondrous circumstances one of our University wights, a member of the "better than thou," "never do anything wrong, no sir, never," class of students attended with his fair dulcina. He occupied a seat well to the front, right up to the orchestra. It was evident that he had never before witnessed—I mean heard such a performance. He soon became oblivious to the fact that he had his girl at his side or that the people around were growing wild over his maneuvers. Those parts that appall the chairs and enapture the gallery set him delirious. The sense of seeing seemed to have made a revelation. I pitied the poor girl at his side, but could not help joining the audience in cheering his enthusiastic actions. All of which proved to me that those who proclaim their goodness so loudly should visit the opera often enough to learn the proprieties of the occasion, or not go at all.
If there's anything I despise, it's the fellow who's always vaunting his conscience. I've observed that a fellow's conscience is like his wealth—the more he boasts, the less he has in stock.
Dick Hofton: "I wish you Corner folks would mind your own business and let Bob Curdy and I settle this between ourselves. Who's in the lead? Well, to tell you the truth —O. I aint going to talk about it, that's all. Good day."
It beats the nation how some people crawl into a hole, and their image their chipmunk cavern is the world, and the space outside is the hole. Such is the little character of those students who every time they're criticised, instead of defending themselves, fall back on their fraternity and commence prating about what a good society theirs is anyway. A fraternity is a splendid institution (to my mind), but I object to it being made a scape-goat for every one of its members. If a fellow is a natural ingrained skunk, all the churches and fraternities in the world will not make him a gentleman.
I think there is too little free criticism in the University, anyway. This has arisen from the fact that it has become a custom for every student to think his fellow an enemy if he points out his伤痛. So it has come that if a man goes up on the rostrum, gets off a flown-eagle speech, makes a fool of himself generally, the crowd rushes up to congratulate him on his "splendid effort" while they laugh at him in their sleeves. The same thing is too often apparent in the literary societies. I don't believe in coming down on a fellow like a thousand of bricks, but I do endorse honest, good-natured criticism. It makes men.
Keys!—"Yes, that beard was an ugly appendage, but it meant $10 a month more salary, and so I let it grow. Now that I've quit teaching and become an editor, I've shed it. Merton Joy is himself again."
Something's wrong. Year after year our attendance of University girls is lessening. But thats not the worst of it. Those who came in past years are going to other schools. Nellie

Dow is at St. Mary's, Dot Mead at Washburn, Carlie Cockins at Cincinnati, Rose Wagner at Purdue and so on down the row. I propose—no I don't either; I mean I intend to speak more fully on this subject at some future time.
Spangler has started. He was elected delegate to the last convention. What a range of possibilities. Maybe, police judge. 'Rah for Will!'

The encouragement we received the past season from the best trade for the superior quality, style and make of our Good convinces us that the trade requires a better class of CLOTHING than formerly.
While it is our aim to introduce to the trade a superior class of Clothing, we also keep in mind that our prices must be such as to meet with the favor of the trade.
Having that aim in mind, we have, for the Fall Trade, our styles, make and trimmings, improved, besides introduce such novelies as no house can equal.
We shall at all times be pleased to have our Goods a Prices compared with those of our competitors.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
Vol. IV.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 16, 1885.
LOCAL.
Orophilian is taking the lead in getting new members.
"Stand around there, Sharrard."
Prof. Aldrich is writing a lecture on the Italian Method.
Franklin's classes in Natural Philosophy are progressing rapidly.
Burkholder and Chase entered the Junior Law class Tuesday.
The electric bells are out of order, and Ross is at work with the gong again.
The Freshman history class is taking the Grecian antiquities this week.
Why don't Riggs and his old sorrel mare stop at Kellogg's room any more?
The Natural History building will be ready for the roof before winter, it is hoped.
The observatory has been entirely painted at last. The job was finished by daylight.
Prof. Spring's class in English Literature are reading Whittier's works, this week.
The boys all took their girls to the opera house Monday eve. It only cost fifteen cents.
The military meeting was not largely attended, but it was a move in the right direction.
Why not get out the Canfield silver ball, and give the boys something to play for?
The "rushing season" is now about over, and frat men will now perhaps begin to study a little.
There seems to be a great "how!" for college songs. Why don't "Gilbert and Sullivan" respond?
W. S. Allen wants it to be understood that the Cash Dining Association is not Hotel de Grabandchaw.
A base-ball association has been formed on a common sense basis. Every man pays his own expenses.
Mr. B. W. Woodward's residence is fast nearing completion. It will be a "thing of beauty" when completed.
The faculty are beginning the year quite socially. Mrs. Dr. Lippincott's entertainment being the latest.
Three hundred and seventy-two have already enrolled this year. We will have five hundred before the year is out.
Prof. Brownell's classes, which for some time have been reciting in Oread hall, are now located in various places throughout the building.
No. 6.
Prof. Canfield's class in Special Economies finished Socialism this week, and the members now begin on their separate topics.
Some of the frat men on their way home last Saturday night, made more noise than was compatible with the standing of these organizations.
Prof. Rosedale gave a series or lectures at Baldwin last week. He is a converted Jewish Rabbi, and lectures on oriental subjects. He was assisted by about twenty students in oriental costume.
Prof. Aldrich favored the Oreads last Friday with a vocal solo, which was heartily enceded. In response to the encore he gave them a German song.
At a meeting of the COURER Company last Friday, A. L. Burney, Nannie Anderson and F. E. Reed were elected as members of the journal staff.
To young men of the University entitled to vote in the coming election, we call attention to the fact that the registration books close on the 20th instant.
Why don't some of the girls wake up and favor the project of having the literary societies meet Friday evenings? Some of the boys are dying for a chance to act as escorts.
Oread and Orophilian not content with two contests a year, are going to cross swords in a debate shortly. Little, Horton and Crane represent the Oreads, and Doran, Reed and Marshall the Orophilians.
The Profs. are still on a tear(!) and can't settle down, it seems, for recently one of their number succeeded in laying out one of the boys on the library floor. Misplaced confidence (or rather chair) the cause.
The two Miss Cookies, under the protection of Crane and Dunn, went boat-riding last Friday. Attempting to land near a watermelon patch, one of the young ladies fell into the river, but was saved by the courage and daring of her escort. No cards as yet.

The Review attempted to hold a meeting late last week, but on account of the legal standing of the case the meeting was declared illegal, and adjourned without doing anything. We understand the board of directors talk of appointing editors to fill the vacancies.
The following is the program to Oread Friday afternoon: Declamation, Helen Sutliff and May Webster; Reading, Josie Cooke and Ella Ropes; Essay, Sadie M. Emery and Lester Sharrard; Oration, T.J. Schall and H. E. Riggs; Debate, affirmative, T. S. Fritz and Frank Crowell; negative, L. A. Stebbins and R. E. Parks.
The lectures on Schubert and Schuman, by Prof. Aldrich, will be illustrated by a number of songs of each composer.
The COURIE staff met in Prof. Spring's room Monday and R. E. Hayslett was appointed as editor of the editorial department; Charles Elwell, Exchange editor; F. E. Reed, Views editor; Denton Dunn and S. W. Shattuck, Local editors; Nannie Anderson, Hattie Cooke and A. L. Burney, Personal editors.
The Baldwin students had long desired a skating rink, as they were getting tired of Authors, the only amusement in which they were allowed to indulge. An enterprising man saw the opening, built a rink, and made the boys and girls happy. But their joy was transient, for the president announced last week that students who patronized the rink would be sent home. Never mind, boys, perhaps they will let you play a game of checkers.
The vocal department is increasing rapidly.
Prof. Miller entertains the faculty Friday night.
Chapel rhetoricals began Monday, B. P. Blair was the first.
Mrs. Al Diggs delivers the second lecture of the Art Course Thursday.
Cyrus Crane has been elected an associate editor of Phi Kappa Psl Shield.
Prof. Aldrich will receive pupils at his residence, corner of Tennessee and Hancock streets.
Geo. M. Gates, one of our law graduates, is a prominent lawyer in Stella, Nebraska. He has the Republican nomination for county judge.
The Orophilian program for this week will be as follows: Readings, Brown and Adams; essays, Misses Dudley and Hair; declamations, Misses Newlin and Gooddell; orations, Borough, Topping and Tomlin; debate—affirmative, Hickey and Curry; negative, Pearson and Hoger.
Prof. MacDonald has been leading the chorus singing at the revival meetings.
SCENE ON STREET.—University student walking with his girl, seizes her by the arm, as is the custom among some of the elite here.
Stranger says to student: "What has that girl been doing, stealing?"
Student; "I don't understand, sir, this insult to Miss ___"
Stranger: "Reg pardon, I thought by the way you grasped her arm that you were going to take her to the station-house. My mistake, very sorry, sir."
Stranger passes on.
We are glad to welcome the Callanan Courant, Vol. I, No. I, from Callanian College. This paper is edited by young ladies. It is a bright, newsy sheet, in a neat, artistic cover.
Our exchange table is well filled with the college and State papers. Many of the papers have new editors and managers, who are just learning the trade of journalism. Several of the old exchanges have new dresses, which do not in every case improve their appearance. Some of the old journals have failed to appear, and a few are just getting out their September number.
The University hails from Chicago. It is entirely literary in its character. Why not be sociable and have an exchange department?
The Monmouth Collegian is very prompt in making its appearance. It congratulates the Courier for appearing so often during vacation.
The Kansas City Review contains a learned article on the "Beginnings of Language."

Why don't the Freshmen challenge the Sophs, for a game of football, and start the ball rolling in the line of amusements? It is really to be regretted that the students of this University have not more energy and life about them.
We this week have a very dignified (?) missive from the Princeton "Lit." board on our recent editorial on Princeton hazing, etc. We are pleased to be informed by it that the "four richest Sophs in school, the offenders, have been expelled."

The Natural History building is progressing finely, but will hardly be advanced sufficiently by the time cold weather puts a stop to work, to be enclosed. When finished, it will be as nearly fire proof as is possible. There will be no wood except the window and door casings, floors and rafters. The floors will be deadened by mortar, and metal lath will be used.
We think it is generally conceded that the contests between the Oreads and Orophilians are productive of much good; but much has been said of late about the evil effects of so much wire-pulling in electing the programs. Now, we think we see a way out of the difficulty. It is to have a contest in each society at the beginning of each term, and let the successful candidates be the representatives of their society in December and June. This would ensure the best members from each society, awaken a lively interest in good literary work, and forever do away with the political schemers and "shysters" who have infested the

AFTER a very lengthy, searching and detailed review on Prof. Spring's book, the Kansas City Times sums up as follows:
"The work of Prof. Spring is throughout fascinating and full of valuable information. No matter what his political opinions may be every resident of Kansas and Western Missouri ought to read the book and have it in his library. It is the best short account of the origin of Kansas yet written, and one can discount the political bias of the author simply by knowing it exists."
THE Review for October appeared last week filled with re-hashed Courier Locals, Personals, etc., two and four weeks old. It had two or three literary productions written by persons not members of its staff, that were fairly good. It was very caustic on the Courier's trouble in "split," &c. The Courier can "split" several times and stand above par with the fogy journalism of the Review. Though the Courier may have dissentions within itself, they are all unimpeachable for fairness. The Courier was never known to disfranchise seventy stockholders by a vote of twenty-five. "People in glass houses should not throw stones." The Courier's record will stand well with that of the Review, politically.
The Pharmacy Department has been receiving considerable attention in the State press of late, the cry being raised and agitated that the money for the sustenance of the department for the current year cannot be raised. As is known, the department was organized at the instigation of the State Druggists' Association, and its maintenance is based upon a tax, as the Courier understands, of five dollars per year made upon the Druggists of the State as a registration fee required by law of them.
Seeing, on the matter, Mr. George Leis, of this city, this week, and knowing he was one of the foremost workers in the originating of the department, he said the raising of the money was all right if the State press would stop its "howl" on it. He said the Pharmacy Board, consisting of R. T. Bryant, Wm. Stanford, J. T. Taylor, C. J. Butin and Peter Eager, was composed of such "mettle" that if let alone they would collect it all right. The department is beginning very auspiciously, and we sincerely hope it will receive no response.
An article attacking Prof. Spring's book on Kansas, appeared in the Commonwealth last Saturday, which from the Courier's knowledge of Mr. Baker's friendship to our institution and acquaintance with her faculty, we feel confident that he never saw or had any idea of its nature before it appeared in his journal. We cannot but feel that Mr. Baker's confidence in some erratic, prejudice-interested writer has been grossly abused.
Professor Spring, of our Chair of English, is well known and recognized as one of the ripest scholars, most thoroughly cultured literary writers and speakers in the West. The criticism, politically, on his writings is ridiculously far-fetched, if there is any foundation for it. Yet the writing on a State having the political struggle of ours, as a
beginning, means, from the nature of things, criticism deep and dire.
We cannot but believe the writer of the Commonwealth's criticism wrote from motives far from disinterestedness.
The Commonwealth owes Prof. Spring an apology, and we believe if the matter was properly brought to Mr. Baker's attention, it would be cheerfully given.
The absence in the literary societies this year of that political wire-pulling and throat cutting, and that jabbering and quarreling among their members, so characteristic of last year, is indeed a commendable feature. Both Oread and Orophilian seem determined to make their work this year productive of much literary training and culture. We are glad to see this. We are glad to know that the societies appreciate something better than a never-ceasing squabbling over parliamentary law, and aspire to something really higher and more desirable than political shrewdness. The societies are laboring to make their weekly programs more interesting by substituting now and then an oratorial contest, a jury trial and the like for the regular exercises. Measures are being taken for lessening the membership, so that the roll-call of active members will comprise only those who will perform their duty. This will insure full programs every week, and give those who are members for the purpose of training themselves for orators and debaters, a better chance for development.
Another good feature is the one now on foot of having a debate or contest on orations and declamations between the two societies every month or six weeks. The first contest of this kind will be a debate between three members from each society upon popular questions of the day. Such an entertainment as this will do much more to draw out the latent energies of the student than the ordinary debates in the respective societies. The question of having the societies meet Friday evening instead of the afternoon, is now being agitated with considerable enthusiasm. We think this would be a good thing both socially and intellectually. After a rest Friday afternoon from the labor of the week, the students will come to the societies in the evening with renewed energies and clearer minds for duty. Besides, there is no question but that they would be better attended than they are now. Let us push this movement until we carry it through. Let us strive with mind and heart that we shall make for the societies this year a record in good solid work unprecedented in the history of the University.
VIEWS.
Ed. VIEWS:—A weekly paper, it seems to me, is the proper place for students to "air" their views and make their demands, and I am glad to see that your columns are utilized in this way. Now, Mr. Editor, I have something which I would like to offer. A literary society of a little higher order than the present ones would, I think, be productive of much pleasure and profit. My idea is to have this society composed of a number of students of the two higher classes, and meet once a week in some convenient place, but the membership be limited, and have none but members attend.
The work done in our literary societies is not of the best kind, nor is it sufficient thorough. In a society such as I have mentioned, papers could be prepared and discussed in a careful and accurate manner.
Of course the society would need assistance and presence of one or more of the professors, but I have no doubt that they would be willing to lead a helping hand. It will be said in opposition to this, that we already have work enough without burdening ourselves with any more. But I have noticed that Juniors and Seniors are apt to lose interest in their literary societies, and to leave the work to younger members. This happens, not on account of lack of time, but because they loose interest. It is well known that the regular work in Junior and Senior years do not require much time, and I see no reason why there is not plenty of time for reading and writing. Let a few good, earnest students with some literary ability take hold of this and limit the membership so that it would be something an honor to belong. This would be a stimulus to undergraduates to attain some proficiency in literary matters, and would perhaps produce some writers and conversationists of a higher merit than we have at present.
ED. VIEWS:—I see by your last issue that one of the fraternities of K. S. U. gave a progressive euchre party lately. This seems to me a move in the right direction, as it must be admitted that an evening so spent while fully as enjoyable, is by no means as trying upon the health and strength of those engaged as one devoted to tripping the light fantastic. Assuredly no one questions the benefits derived from society from pleasant social intercourse of the young gentlemen and ladies who attend our institutions. Many do, and with some reason, at least, question the benefits derived from nights far spent in whirling round a room until the weary dancers can no longer compel their feet to keep time to the inspiring music. But to a eucharist party none of these objections apply. The evening is passed in quiet ease, light chit-chat and shuffling of the cards—a rest to mind and body. Yes, it seems a move in the right direction, and I hope we may see more of it and less dancing, until the gay society devotee is worn out.
By the way, some of the frats here seem to have but little social spirit. Why don't they brace up? Why don't they do their members a little good in this direction, which to an outsider seems to be the only real good they can do, and thus gain a reputation for being something beside political machines. **
The day of ghosts and spirit rappings has passed away, but the phenomena of mind and its influence upon mind, still remains subjects for thought and investigation.
"Can one mind its normal state exercise an influence over another by simply willing and not expressing the wish," is a question upon which we may not only think, but is also one which we may, at least, attempt to answer with experiment.
It was the pleasure of the writer of this article, during the past winter, to assist in several experiments of this nature.
One evening at a social gathering it was suggested that the hostess be made the subject upon which we should try the strength of our minds. It was agreed that she should be taken from the room and be kept in charge of one of the most skeptical of the company, who should lead her blind-faced to the room after the company had deigned upon something which she should do at the initiation of their wifl.
Some one who had little faith in the ability of one person to influence another through the medium of the will, but who honestly desired to see a fair trial, assured the company that this had been often tried with perfect success, and exhorted all to "trust in the experiment and keep their powder dry."
The lady being led into the room, agreeable to our plan moved first forward, then to the right, then around a center-table, then turning abruptly to the right, kneeled before one of her lady friends.
The person experimented with, one of the most intellectual and
highly cultured ladies of the place, assured us that she did not have the slightest idea of what we wished her to do, but that she felt impelled by an irresistible force to do what she did.
This was only one of several experiments performed with equally surprising results.
"Can this be true?" some one asks. Try it. It can do no harm, and if, after experiment, it is found that one human mind, simply through the will, can greatly influence another human soul, what may we not believe possible to the Author of those laws whose phenomena we see but can never comprehend.

OPERA HOUSE, OCTOBER 21.
This “Three of a Kind” is one of those light and airy nothings of current dramatic merriment which depends rather upon the ability of the company as farceurs than upon any special interest or wit or substance in the author's work. It is sparkling and funny because of the action and vivacity of the band of Troubadours; it creates laughter because of the anties and farcical eccentricities of these merrymakers. They are never at rest, and there is pleasant enjoyment in their constant and unflagging jollity. There are three lively young men—of a kind; there is a restless tom boy of a young lady, a demure little country girl, a female terror in the form of an old maid; a regular old stage farmer and a wealthy storekeeper—merchant, if you please. The action of the farce involves the adventures of Jack Potts, Bob Flush, and Phil Straight at a farm house. While here two of them fall in love with the pretty dainty, the demure little country girl. In the last act the “Three of a Kind” are occupants of an attic flat, are hard up, and this act is the most amusing of the three divisions of the two hours and a half of fun. Mr. Nate Salsbury as Jack Potts, and Mise Nellie McHenry as Dolly Dashwood, were the principal figures, and they were ably seconded by Miss Josie Langley as Dainty, and Mr. Thomas E. Jackson as Priscilla Prism. Mr. Kiddar is to be congratulated for the good fortune of having “three of a kind” in the keeping of a company so thoroughly capable of securing it a successful hearing wherever it may be presented.—N.

Autumn Musings.
Perhaps the students think ye Muser wishes to view only the dark side of affairs, and find fault. Not so however, now I have something to praise, and it is this—the almost entire absence of snobishness in K S. U. The poor student who works his way is held in higher esteem by all than the one who wastes his fifty dollars every month. No one puts it down against a man here if his clothes are shiny or ill-fitted. This is right, and I hope it will always be thus. I fear however that the snobs, now so few, will increase in number when we have more wealthy students, who come here not to work, but only to have a good time. It will be a long time however. I think, before K. S. U. will be troubled in this manner as many Eastern colleges are.
The hypocrisy of some fraternity men is scarcely endurable. They are eternally blowing that their societies never enter, as bodies, into combinations, though, say they, some members may go into such things as individuals. This would be well enough if they did not accuse the other societies of combining as bodies, while they point to themselves as examples of immaculate purity, and say they do not countenance such "depravity." Now when their society casts a solid vote, no one can say whether they do it as individuals or as a body. So howlings about such things are nothing but the merest phrasalism cant, and any one can pull off the sheep's clothing from hypocritical demagogues who shout on this sublet, and see the wolves beneath.
I am glad to see some variation occasionally in the programs of the literary societies. Every time this is done there is a much larger and more enthusiastic attendance than when the usual program is given. It seems to me that the great trouble in the literary societies has been too much sameness and monotony in the meetings. Let, us have more special programs, and perhaps we can develop more spirit and enthusiasm among the members. In other colleges, even where there are katerinies, the literary society spirit is far more developed than here. If even a few members would stir things up we could have as good literary organizations here as in any college in the Union.
Sometime since the faculty passed every salutary regulation by which over classmen were prohibited from taking studies beyond them in the higher classes. It seems to me that his rule has not been enforced with sufficient rigidity, for I hear some complaint that the students of the tutor and senior years are hammered by "specialists" unprepared or the work of the higher classes. Though not so numerous as formally, there are still too many in the university who ought to be preps, but try to be upper classmen. The faculty should be more strict with such students.
Shorthand Department
A large number of the students and some of the professors drive up to the University every day. On account of the location of the buildings, it is necessary for many to ride, not only for those living in the country, but also, on account of the hill, for those who reside in the city, yet besides a few hitching posts there is no provision at all for horses which must be left at the University during recitation hours. It seems to me that a few sheds might be constructed at a small cost somewhere on the grounds, and then the poor animals would be sheltered from the bleak winds which sweep over Mt. Oread. I think that the necessity for shelter is very urgent, and it should be seen to immediately by the proper authorities, since it is no more than just to those who are compelled to drive to school to have a place to put their horses. Indeed it is positive cruelty to animals to show the poor creatures to shiver for four nours every day in the wintry storms. Besides the humanity of the idea, the attendance at the University would doubtless be increased if this provision were made. Tony.
Lawrence Business College.
Having been in charge of the Shorthand Department of the Lawrence Business College during the three past years, and having endeavored by faithful, careful, and thorough instruction of my students to merit the continued confidence of those desiring instruction in Shorthand, I desire to state that it has been judged best to discontinue the "Department" and conduct it hereafter as a separate and distinct School of Shorthand under my individual charge. The method of instruction will be similar to that used in the past, except that advantage will be taken of our increased facilities and ever enlarging experience, to make the Lawrense School of Shorthand the leading School of the West.
Competent assistants have been employed to aid pupils in preparing exercises, etc., and the pupils will find that they can obtain better facilities and instruction for their money than at any similar institution. We intend to make it worth your while to come and learn Short-hand with us, and we will give you full equivalent for your money.
Facilities for learning type writing will be provided at small additional cost.
W. M. HAYES, Principal
EASY SYSTEMS, ETC.
We have already given information in regard to the utility of Shorthand, its application to practical business, and it will be found that its employment in the professions and general business is only limited by the supply of competent writers; new avenues for the employment of Shorthand writers are opened up everywhere, and the great question to-day for the would-be stenographer is not—shall I be able to find employment, but am I competent to fill the positions that are ready to be filled?
The fact that there is so universal a demand for this art, has led thousands to take up the study, and after months and perhaps years of ill-directed, desultory, dawdling efforts at its mastery, they have given up in disgust, when if they had given a few months of earnest, practical study under the care of a competent teacher, at an expense small as compared with the acquiring of any other profession, they would have been successful. Probably not one in five hundred of those who have tried to master the art by the aid of textbooks alone, have ever become proficient. Admit that not all who study medicine, or law, or Shorthand have the talent to become proficient, the fact remains that few are so unwise as to attempt to master medicine or law without the aid and attendant expense of the best schools and teachers they can procure, while about everybody seems to imagine that by purchasing some "six easy lesson system" of Shorthand, they
With flying pen
Report the buraling words of men Of thoughts and might, in crowded hall or anywhere else—at little or no cost or labor. Were this the case, everybody would be Shorthand writers, and salaries would be no object.
In any case, you cannot know how you will succeed until you make a trial. The phonographic profession is a profitable and honorable one. It would not be so if one could learn to report verbatim is six weeks or two months, and yet we have heard of teachers who claimed that their "system” would enable one to report verbatim in still less time by the taking of “a few easy lessons,” or as some body has said, “The student communicates the study of some ‘new and improved system,’ believing that it two weeks he will have mastered the principles, and within two months be able to brush the flies from his nose as he leisurely reports a two hundred words per minute speaker.” The student who attempts to master any of these “easy” systems invariably finds it not adequate to the needs of actual work. As we have elsewhere stated, we use Graham’s Standard Phonography, a system that was devised and arranged by one of the most expert reporters of the day—Mr. Andrew J. Graham—and has stood the test of some thirty years of practical use without change. Other systems using the same alphabet have, since this system was given to the public, modified their word sign lists, etc., so as to approximate closely the word forms of this system, and retortorial experience and mathematic demonstration both show that the best results are to be obtained only by a rigid adherence to the characteristic features of Stand ard Phonography. The favorite ad vice of teachers of allied systems is “Learn our system because it is easier, and then when you nee greater speed you can switch off to Graham’s system and incorporate its principles into your writing.”
We do not hesitate to say that no person possessing the "nerve" to learn the art will be discouraged by having a proper idea of the difficulties he has to overcome, and the expense of money, time and labor to be incurred, and in our judgment the pupil who selects a system of Short-hand to learn simply because it is alleged to be easy, has already shown himself deficient in the qualities that go to make a reporter, and his failure is assured from the start.
Whatever system one learns, he must sooner or later train his mind to conceive and his hand to write the outline of each word in the language, in common use, to the best advantage, and that cannot be accomplished in "six easy lessons," no in twelve.
If simplicity of alphabetic characters, economy of the hooks, circles, etc., that have to be used in all systems to represent syllables, etc., the most perfect method of abbreviation of words when great speed is needed, and the best and most rapid system of phrasing ever devised, do not constitute the "easiness" that the Shorthand weakling desires and requires, they at least constitute what is required to make a system a success as a reporting medium, and the earnest student will feel most confidence in the teacher or system that does not hold out false promises in regard to amount of labor, etc., necessary to master one of the most valuable and money making professions.
To the student who goes at the study in a business-like way, with a determination to succeed, the science of Shorthand is easy as compared with most other arts and sciences. Of course, as the Shorthand writer has to use so large a number of words, a good literary education is a great help; but hundreds have begun the study of Shorthand, and by so doing found that it was a most efficient aid in acquiring a knowledge of grammar and orthography.
Let no student then be discouraged by staements that the art is too difficult to learn—it is not; or on the other hand, let none be deluded by the idea that any one can become a reporter without work.

The encouragement we received the past season from the best trade for the superior quality, style and make of our Goods, convinces us that the trade requires a better class of CLOTHING than formerly.
Having that aim in mind, we have, for the Fall Trade, had our styles, make and trimmings, improved, besides introducing such novelties as no house can equal.
While it is our aim to introduce to the trade a superior class of Clothing, we also keep in mind that our prices must be such as to meet with the favor of the trade.

All deficiencies in German and French must be made up by Dec. 10.
Somebody seems to have forgotten all about that much needed greenhouse.
The pharmacy department still increases, and yet we have no medical school.

The lectures in art are a success. The plan should be extended to other departments.

The COURRIER hopes the faculty will not require examinations where the class standing is ninety per cent.
The Commonwealth criticises Prof. Spring's English. Somebody hold us while we smile. — Topeka Capital.
--the evil is very excess in any duty to speak do so it is our
The regents can certainly do no better thing than to grant the students' petition for a military instructor.
The fall rains are cleaning out the dirty Lawrence alleys. It is a pity that this city does not have a good system of sewerage and water works.
The old students should be more sociable with the new ones. Let us practice politeness in the corridors, and learn to be gentlemen and ladies everywhere.
Let us have some political speeches in chapel. A little excitement would do no harm, and this could be controlled. The chapel attendance would largely increase.
The students have shown so much enterprise in organizing a good military company, that the Regents can be certain that a military instructor could do good work.
...
The rumor that Milt. W. Reynolds is to deliver a lecture on Journalism here is without foundation, as he has not even been invited. We hope, however, that he will be.
The fraternities have too much of a tendency to be aristocratic. The very best student has no more natural rights than the poorest. The fraternities falsely claim the best, and hence they think this world is their oyster.
The Courier company held a meeting yesterday and elected R. L. Me Alpine, L. A. Stebbins, Fred H. Bowersock and C. H. Nowlin, additional editors. The recent enlargement requires this extra help. The ability of the above gentlemen is just what the Courier needs, and we welcome them to our staff.
The constitution of the Oratorical Association will be found on the third page. As the Counsel has suggested, the executive committee will soon call a meeting to elect officers and appoint committees. The contest should be held not later than the first week in January, if our orator is to have time to prepare for State and inter-State contest.
The faculty lecture course committee have arranged for an excellent series of lectures to begin Nov. 7. Prof. Kellerman, of Manhattan; Eugene Ware, the Kansas poet; C. E. Bessey, the botanist; Francis E. Knipher, of St. Louis; Profs. McDonald, Wilcox and Sayre are on the list. The Science Club nominates two of the lecturers, Hon. J. B. McCullagh has been invited to lecture on Journalism, but as yet has not accepted.
The University Courier, under the management of Ackley and Oakley made its appearance this morning with a smile on its face and a pleasant how-do-you-do to its many readers. It has grown a little since its last issue, and is otherwise much improved. Cutler, the ornamental and fancy printer, does the mechanical work and it is nicely done, too. It is greatly improved over former issues. We wish the Courier the full measure of that prosperity which it deserves. — Herald-Tribune.
One objection which the faculty might make is that it would draw a crowd of street Arabs as it did when they met at night once before. But could not the hoodlums be kept away by the night watchman, as they are kept from attending the lectures? The night watch could also take care of the building and watch for fires. The faculty do not take enough interest in the societies to pass an opinion on questions of this kind anyhow. Last year one professor attended a few meetings of one society, and only then when he was requested to. The start this year promises the same thing repeated. Now the professors could attend in the evening, and thus all would be orderly. The only conclusion we can come to is that it would be for the best to have the societies meet in the evening. The members would take more interest in them, and better programs would be rendered. Let us have night sessions,
The question of the literary societies holding their meetings at night is being talked of considerably. Our opinion on the subject is that it would be a good thing for both Oread and Orophilian. It seemingly would draw a better audience, something badly needed, and it certainly is no farther up to the University in the evening than it is in the day time. Lawrence people who are busy during the day would take pleasure in visiting the societies and hearing the programs rendered. An evening's stroll up Mt. Oread is certainly more beneficial than on the dusty streets of the city, and once up the hill they undoubtedly would not hesitate to attend the societies. It would tend to make the students more social, and would make the literary societies a means of getting the new students acquainted.
Students' Views.
In every class there is always some crank who persists in asking questions after the bell has rung, thus preventing the class from reaching other rooms in time. These egotists should be reminded that this is not the proper time to ask questions, and if they still persist in doing so they ought to be suspended. Crank, we don't want any more of this foolishness! There are fifty-five other minutes during class hour in which to show your cuteness.
I would like to mention a little incident which goes to show that all is not peace and love in a fraternity. I was standing on the depot platform last Saturday waiting for the Topeka train. A frat man came up and asked his "brother" to lend him his pin as he wished to have one while in Topeka, and had forgotten his own. Was the pin handed over to him in a brotherly manner, as one would expect? Not at all. The owner put on a sickly grin and informed his "beloved brother" that he wished to wear it himself.
It seems to me that the honorable Regents of our University are absolutely wronging both the students and their parents and friends in not providing a suitable gymnasium for the use of the students. Every one is aware of the fact that the student has a desire for some kind of exercise after studying hard and living closely confined in his room. And as there ss no gymnasium here to enable him to give vent to his pent up strength, accordingly he disgraces himself by attending the billiard halls, skating rinks and other places of amusement where he would not think of going were it not for exercise of some kind. Now the students spend at these places every year more than ten times the money it would take to equip a gymnasium. Now I do not mean to say that our regents are doing this knowingly. I am sure they do not realize the great need we have of a gymnasium.
FIERCE STUDENT.
ATHLETE.
Yet this man is one of the loudest mouthed blatants I ever heard, especially when he speaks of the "brotherly love" which members of a fraternity bear to each other.

In your excellent Courier of last week I noticed a communication from a person signed "S," who wrote in favor of free speech in chapel. Now I do not believe that I can add anything to what Mr. "S" has said, but I merely want to let the readers of the STUDENTS' PAPER know that there are two persons at least in the University who are in favor of that grand principle which has been the characteristic of the American people ever since they existed as a separate nation. It seems to me that it is the height of folly to talk about free speech when we cannot speak what we wish in the University chapel. Anything that is good enough for fifty millions of people to read is certainly good enough for three hundreds of students to listen to. The world has read with rapture every part of Webster's great reply to Hayne, and also his great speeches on the constitution and the Union, yet if parts of either of these speeches were selected as declamations by a student, they would be shut out immediately, because they might bias a student's opinions, you know. And as for selecting any ports of Paine or of Ingersoll's great speeches, you might as well talk of getting a gymnasium here. Let us have free speeche. What say some of the other students?
DECLAIMER.
I would like to know how much longer we shall be compelled to wait for the lectures to begin. It is now the middle of October and how many of that "evening course of lectures"—which appears in our catalogue, and which so successfully deludes the innocent "prep"—have been delivered? Let us not be deceived any longer. If we are not to have any regular lectures for six or seven months yet, I would suggest that Graham and Templin give us a course of lectures on "Observatory Decorating," which will be highly instructive to the majority of our students. Let's have a lecture of some kind.
ANXIOUS STUDENT.
Every year there is a vast amount of useless money expended on our campus, only to be undone in a few days by stock running over it. Now I would like to know what good comes from this? Almost any day you may come up to the University and see fifteen to twenty head of cattle on the campus, tramping out the grass, breaking down the trees and otherwise maring our campus. I believe that it is an outrage to have such destruction day after day, month after month and year after year, with no attempt to put a stop to it. Year before last several hundred dollars were thus expended in improving the campus, and what have we to show for it? It seems to me as though we had an ordinance in Lawrence to prohibit cattle from running at large. Why is it not enforced? If these cattle were put in the pound once or twice we might get rid of them. We have patent gates, also, in this day of inventions—self-closing and opening gates—which could be obtained at a trifling cost, and which would save the State hundreds of dollars every year. Or if we are determined not to follow either of these suggestions, for heaven's sake lets put the two or three hundred dollars which is provided every year for the improvement of our "cow pasture," into a gymnasium. I would suggest that if the first of these suggestions is followed, that a few reliable men be procured and the cattle herded for the accommodation of our townsmen, on the parts of the campus where they will not break down our trees.
I have heard some students speak about the "hoeks" against social amusements. Now who will deny that dancing, when carried to an excess, is injurious? It wearies the student physically; it consumes much valuable time, not only while the exercise continues, but for one or two days following. When our students attend dances two or three times a week, and consequently fall below the average in school work, it is high time that some decisive steps were taken. It is a well known fact that several of our young lady students went home with their health broken down, and without any substantial results of their year's school work. This condition was attributed by their parents to dancing.
This state of affairs cannot last without injuring the school. My friend "Smith" in the last Courier lamented the fact that our girls are gradually going off to other schools. Now I know for a fact that many parents of girls have kept their daughters out of the University for this very reason. They say their daughters should get an education in college and not the benefits of society. That comes in its due time. Our faculty is composed of fair minded men who are not given to "houling" about small matters. You may be sure that when anything is said by them about social affairs, it is only after deliberation, and further,
glaring. If we go to direction, it is their of it, and when they place to submit. WILL C. U. LATER.
Last Friday the chancellor, in dignified and impressive language, informed the students from the rostrum that the iron chad rule in regard to classification would reign supreme for another year. Now is it the proper thing for the faculty to pass such "blue" laws for our government? Is it not to our interest to have as large a number in our collegiate department as possible? One thing is evident, this rule will cause a large percent of our students to be catalogued as preps, who legitimately belong to the collegiate classes. Besides, the University is not ready for this rule yet. Wait until we have adequate facilities for preparation as regular students, and then we will welcome it. We are not irregular for the fun of the thing. How many students enter each year who are strictly regular? Give us the facilities that will enable us to enter as regular students, and then we can follow that rule.
R. T. WILLIAM.
It is with feelings of disgust that we attempt to describe the manner in which some of the students of this University greet their fellows. The Courier hopes for a reform, though we fear our voice compared with the world will be like "a needle in a straw stack." The defect is most noticeable between old students and new ones, but it is bad enough among the older ones. It is a fault that invites more criticism than almost anything else in the University, and we noticed it when we first entered school.
It is a rule in etiquette that one should wait until he is addressed by his seniors before he speaks, and accordingly the new student tries to act according to established custom. After going two or three weeks without being noticed, he thinks he will stretch the rule a little and speak first himself. So the next person he meets and who he is sure is a student, he greets with a pleasant "good morning." The compliment is probably returned with that cold, sickening expression, "howdy do," pronounced with emphasis on the fore part of the word, and the latter part scarcely heard. He turns around to look at the fellow for a moment, and concludes that he was mistaken and that the person he thought was a student was some aristocratic citizen of Lawrence.
Going up the street a little further he speaks to the next one who he is sore is a student, and is answered with the same thing only a little abreviated—"howd do." The next one gives him a "howdy do," accompanied with a kind of a sneer and the breatened heavily as if to say, "Well how did you come to know me?" He begins to think that this "howdy do" is a common expression, and he tries it on the next one, who either does not speak to him at all and nearly cuts him in two with a glaring star or gives him a feeble "hat-do."
And thus it is. Although there are some students in this University that can "treat a man white," there are others who have this sneering way of greeting their fellows, and the public opinion of them is not the very best. Every new student that comes here soon finds out that this is a cold world after all, and that he will have to have a great deal of cheek to get through it. Let us be more affable.

One student demurs to my mentioning the divertissements of the recent light operas, on the ground that "it makes the girls blush." Now I submit [that if he and his girl can sit and drink in the sweet elixir of the ballet without the slightest perceptible tinge of crimson mounting to their sensitive cheeks, they ought not to fall in a dead faint on perusing my very modest allusions to the same subject
"I can say what I please again him, 'cause he's my brother, but I'll lick the first other feller that talks about him." Well, that's the way I feel about my fellow students. There's no set of people on earth who growl more about others meddling with their private affairs than we students, but we are the very worst to pry into other's business. No crowd ever cried more for "harmony" and "united action," and yet was made up of a bigger set of kickers ("independents"). The fellow we most despise is too often the one we all flock after. As I said before, it's all right for me to say this, because I'm "one of 'em." but I'll pound the first fellow that repens it.
I met Vic Linley the other day, and asked him what he now thought about his “John Milton” oration. “Don’t talk to me about that,” said he; “I’m heartily sick of it. That’s all I hear from morning to night. Just look at this stack of letters about it. I tried to answer them at first, but soon gave up. Why, one old crank wrote for my photo, and a dozen or so newspapers wanted copy. So talk to me about something else.”

I am glad that Lindley M. Spray is principal of our Lawrence High School. He is one of those unostentious fellows whose head is not full of visionary schemes never to be realized, who is not given to boasting, and who is without a particle of hypocrisy or toadyism in his nature. Moreover, he is a success at whatever he undertakes.
$ \frac { 2 1 } { 3 7 } $ $ a _ { 1 } $ $ a _ { 2 } $
I remember a little joke on Spray which was pretty well relished by the boys at the time. Spray didn't go much with the ladies, but getting "struck" on one of the new girls, he straightway got an introduction and made an engagement for the evening. His roommate learned of it and fixed up the joke. Twilight came and so did Spray. It was with the ecstacy of heaven that he started down Tennessee street with his fair one on his arm. He had got only a block or so when he felt one tugging at his coat tail and a voice crying, "Pa, Pa, say, Pa!" Quickly glancing round he perceived a seven year-old negro urchin. Spray gave him a shove, and commenced talking vigorously about the moon and the weather. Still the little imp yelled, "O Pa, Pa, Ma wants to see you." The girl looked up with horror in her pretty face and demanded an explanation. Spray could stand it no longer. He shot after the negro boy who dodged round the corner and flew to the parental mansion. Spray gave up the chase and returned, but his "Dulcinea" had vanished and with her his short lived dreams. The only ones to appreciate the episode were a couple of students watching behind a fence at a safe distance. Life is vanity.

The military company has opence with a boom. I am not so terribly struck on the scheme from the fact that such organizations almost invariably end up in a big row—generally over the fact that all want to be officers and none privates. However, now that the thing is under way, I
hope it will amount to something and not go under like the gymnasium and athletic association.
A certain nice little chap in the University is likely to wake up some morning and find himself left. On arriving at the University this fall, he was a mark for members of different fraternities, and found himself in a halo of popularity. Like the brilliant youth that he was, he shunned these advances. One of these orders speedily came to the conclusion that it did not want him, and now I hear the other is seriously debating whether it would not do it more harm than good to take in the leavings of its rival. Our advice to our young friend is to bite quick, if indeed any opportunity is left him at all.
I understand the Baldwin Bakery is boiling hot because I mentioned that one of its students was in the county jail for horse stealing. On receipt of last week's Courten an indignation meeting of faculty and students was called, and adopted the following resolutions, which I publish, wishing to give all sides a fair hearing:
Resolved, That.
1st. No student of Baldwin is in the county jail.
the county jail.
2nd The Baker student who is in the county jail did not steal the horse.
3rd He was induced to steal the horse by vicious companions who were in no way connected with Baker.
4th No student of Baker would so far forget his Christian training as to steal a horse; it was a mule.
5th The whole story is a Courier lie.
I understand also that the thief is erribly mad. He says that if it is known he is from Baker he is sure to be convicted.
Prof. Spring's history of Kansas is on sale. I haven't had time to read it, but from a hasty glance through the leaves I believe it will surpass my expectations, which were almost at the top notch. Those Kansans who rate Jim Lane above Jesus Christ will be mad of course, for the professor has brought Lane down to his true level in history. Indeed, I am told that the Topka Commonwealth, a Lane worshipper, has already opened up its magazine of vile adjectives. Others will follow. This the professor must have expected. The book is handsomely printed and bound, a model of printer's neatness.

We would like to see a game of base ball between two fraternities. What is the matter with the Phi Delta and the Phi Gamms?
The game of base ball at Washburn was called at 3:20, with the Washburns at the bat. From the first it was plainly seen that our boys were too much for them. A strong wind was blowing, which interfered greatly with the game, and caused the score to run higher than it otherwise would. The following is the score.

The State Teachers' Association, meeting at Topeka Dec. 28-30, promises to be the largest and most enthusiastic educational gathering ever held in the State. Even remote counties have given notice that they will be represented. If special rates can be secured of the railways, it is more than probable that a thousand teachers will assemble. The work has been divided into five sections, and about sixty papers will be read and discussed. Every section of the State and every educational institution in the State, will be represented, and the outside world will be given a hearing through Gov. Martm, Noble Prentiss, Web. Wilder, Gen. Caldwell and others.

HEAR YE! Professors and Students !
The encouragement we received the past season from the best trade for the superior quality, style and make of our Goods convinces us that the trade requires a better class of CLOTHING than formerly.
While it is our aim to introduce to the trade a superior class of Clothing, we also keep in mind that our prices must be such as to meet with the favor of the trade.
Having that aim in mind, we have, for the Fall Trade, had our styles, make and trimmings, improved, besides introducing such novelities as no house can equal.
We shall at all times be pleased to have our Goods and Prices compared with those of our competitors.

The event will transpire next Saturday afternoon.
Yohe's and Neal's University nines are going to play three games for the Canfield silver ball. The first game was played last Friday, resulting in a victory for Yohe's nine by one score at the end of the seventh inning. Neal's nine gained largely on the eighth inning, only half of which, however, was played, on account of the approaching darknes. So the game was adjudged to the Yohe's. The nines are closely matched, and the contest for the other two games will be very intesting.

CALDWELL — McFARLAND. — The many readers of THE COURIER will be glad to learn of the marriage of Mr. E. F. Caldwell and Miss Viola McFarland at the residence of the bride's parent's. The event took place last night, Rev. Dr. Cordy officiating. The ceremony was witnessed by quite a number of the immediate friends of the family. The house was very prettily decorated with evergreens and autumn leaves. The presents were many and fine and only excelled by the earnest wishes of the donors for the happiness and prosperity of Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell.
On the strength of the Ohio election, Gov. Hoadley being a Beta, and Governor-elect Foraker being a Phi Psi, the Beta boys "set 'em up" in fine shape to the Phi Psis last Saturday night. After initiating their new member, Walter Davis, the Phi Psis called upon the Betas and were most cordially received and hospitably entertained. After refreshments, the boys all felt quite jolly and passed the time very pleasantly with songs, speeches and social intercourse. After many expressions of good will on both sides, the guests gave three rousing cheers for Hoadley and the Betas, who heartily returned them by as many for Foraker and the Phi Psis. The hour being late, the boys then left, the Phi Psis hoping that they may spend many such pleasant evenings with their Beta friends.

Entered at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kan sas, as second class matter. LAWRENCE JOURNAL COMPANY,
The contract for grading Robinson avenue has been let to R. W. Sparr, who, we understand, will begin operations next week.
THE STEP taken by the Orophilian Literary this year in variety of programs from week to week is very commendable.
Too LONG lessons is an uncommonly common complaint among students this year. What is the reason? Are the different departments stretching over more ground?
The Law Department opens well this year. The Junior class is individually and collectively a strong one. By its present growth, this department in a very few years will yield a great influence in the affairs of K.S.U.
--public, or rather, the student mind at present. While there are many advantages which would result from the change, the objections seem to me to have been overlooked. Friday night is the only one of the week in which the students have time for social recreation. So if it be occupied by literary society meetings, many of the students will either break into their study hours during the week by a dance or card party, or skip the society meetings. As many of our best workers in the literary societies often attend, on Friday nights, some social gathering or other, which they would be loath to give up, the societies should weigh these considerations well before making any change.
Our happy namesake, The Courier, of Moumouth College, Illinois, one of our most gaudily-dressed monthly exchanges, tries to be very funny at our expense on "our shape." Dear brother, we reach our readers four times to your once. We care more for brains in our columns than in fancy covers.
THE COUCHER will extend a club rate per special agreement of $1.75 for one year's subscription and one copy of Prof. Spring's History of Kansas. Send in your orders.
IF PROF. MILLER, as Librarian, will provide a place for them, and assure us they will be cared for, THE COURRIER will file its College exchanges in the library for the benefit of the students generally during the year. If the Review would do likewise, by a little attention, students could secure a very good idea of college journalism.
THE COURIER wishes to extend its hearty congratulations to Miss Simpson on her success in waking up so much interest in the Art Department. The number of students taking drawing, painting and china decoration is rapidly increasing. A very interesting and instructive course of lectures is being delivered before the Art classes. Many interested in such matters were in attendance at Mrs. Diggs' lecture last Thursday, in which she ably treated the subject Michael Angelo. Mrs. Prof. Canfield will give "Observations of Art in New York City" next Thursday.
WE ARE aware the members of the faculty as a whole have as much work on their hands as should be asked of them, but THE COURIER would be pleased to see more of them take a little interest in the Literary Societies than they do. Occasional attendance Friday afternoons would be desirable recreation. By taking active part in the exercises, as one or two now do, they would only make themselves more popular with the students and give stimulus to the good work desired.
--public, or rather, the student mind at present. While there are many advantages which would result from the change, the objections seem to me to have been overlooked. Friday night is the only one of the week in which the students have time for social recreation. So if it be occupied by literary society meetings, many of the students will either break into their study hours during the week by a dance or card party, or skip the society meetings. As many of our best workers in the literary societies often attend, on Friday nights, some social gathering or other, which they would be loath to give up, the societies should weigh these considerations well before making any change.
THE Industrialist, of Manhattan, supported by the State, managed by its faculty, is perhaps the filisiest excuse for an exchange we receive from the college world. From month to month it appears filled only with the poorest class of clippings imaginable. No redeeming feature, such as a State would expect in original treaties on the institution's work, has appeared in the year past. Let the Board of Regents take some action in waking up its management or suppress the purile affair.
WE HEAR considerable grumbling on the "high prices on our books at the city book stores." Having given the matter investigation, THE COURIER is prepared to say the three stores of the city, Messrs. Crew, Field & Co. and Hand, furnish K. S. U. students books this year at very nominal profits, and instead of complaining we should all feel very kindly and generously toward them for the rates extended us. Pooling on us would be a very easy matter with them. Thus it is generosity rather than any semblance of competition that gives us our rates. Let "growling" stop.
ATTENDANCE upon chapel exercises has been, for the last few years, ridiculously small, to say the least. Every student should attend chapel each morning, as he will hear there nothing to his injury and much that may do him good; but each is supposed to think for himself, in the matter and any attendance of, this kind to be of benefit must be voluntary. It seems that the faculty intend to be more strict in regard to presence at roll call this year than formerly. Certainly no one will complain at this. With so slight disciplinary requirements as are demanded here it is more than right that those which are established should be faithfully enforced. For our own part we should much rather see daily attendance enforced than none.
THE Board of Regents of Kansas State University, at a meeting held in this city on Monday, unanimously resolved to name the new building in process of erection, "Snow Hall of Natural History." This is a deserved compliment to Prof. F. H. Snow, whose connection with the institution has been one of the mansprings of its success. His ability and consequent success as a specialist, and his unostentatious devotion to his work have attracted the attention of those interested in higher education in other parts of the country, which resulted in tenders to him of more lucrative positions in older and more famous colleges, but he chose to remain here to complete the work long ago begun by him, and in which he had spent many years of fruitful labor.—Lawrence Journal.
THROUGH K. S. U. the railroads of the State, leading to Lawrence, are given a great deal of traveling patronage, not only from the four or five hundred students who pass back and forward to school and home through the year, but the general patronage to commencement exercises, etc. They can afford to give students a cut rate for at least Thanksgiving and holiday vacations and the trip home in June. Let the Chancellor take the matter in hand at once and secure rates for the coming Thanksgiving vacation. It will be but a very few years until the young men and women of K. S. U. will be out over our fair young State "a power in the land." Railroad corporations will be wanting favorable legislation to their interests Now is the time to make favorable impressions. Our minds are young and plastic, our praises weak, the outside world seems cold and selfish, one penetrating ray of warm generosity from "grinding railroad corporation" in this "chaos of darkness and despair" will be ever remembered in the years to come, and will have an ameliorating effect upon partisan bias or prejudice, be it of what form it may.
WHAT THE COUCHER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW,
Why the different classes don't come to the front with class parties?
When there has been a more brilliant Senior class?
A more handsome Junior class?
A more cheeky Sopomore class?
Or a better dressed lot of Freshies than this year?
If the Review isn't being run with a pretty high hand?
And where the Board of Directors got their precedent for their late action?
Who does more talking in the library than Miss Watson?
What two Profs anchored their boat near the brewery for?
If Taylor found what he was looking for Saturday?
What class Gilmore has the third hour?
Who are better judges of elder than the Betas?
Why Fritz didn't eat supper Sunday night?
When a meeting of the stockholders will meet to fill the vacancies on the Review staff. The directors only having authority to fill vacancies until such time as a meeting of stockholders and subscribers shall be held.
VIEWS.
Among the things that this University needs is a Department of Elocution. As it is now, the assistant English professor is the professor in that branch of study. The work is too much for one man. The professor has not only his classes to bear, but the collegiate students to drill for chapel speeches; frequently it not only takes part of his time in the morning but also his time in the afternoons. Let us have another man in the English department, thus giving the professor in Elocution more time and less work. The study of delivery is too important to be neglected. SPEAKER.
Cosley's rink, with the finest music Friday nights, is a most enjoyable place in the city for an evening's pleasure.
AN ATTRACTIVE DISPLAY.
Mrs. Orme's millinery parlors were crowded nearly all day yesterday by ladies who were anxious to examine the large stock of stylish hats and bonnets, knowing full well that they were sure to find the latest styles and finest goods in the market. A COUCHER representative called during the afternoon, and although many of the most stylish bonnets had already been sold the display was very fine. Miss Engle kindly showed the reporter through the rooms and explained the master piece of the milliner's art—a woman's bonnet.
In some respects the styles worn this year are very similar to those worn last year. In hats the crowns are higher, while the trimmings are brighter, instead of the sombre colors worn last season. Birds and wings are worn a great deal, instead of feathers.
One hat which seemed to attract a great deal of attention from the ladies was a black velvet hat, trimmed with plume and orange yellow feathers, and steepe jet beads, set off with jet and gold trimmings. Another handsome hat, and which is popular alike for street and church wear, is a hat with Jersey crown, trimmed with brown and silver tinsel and iridescent beads, set off with brown plumes.
Opera bonnets are about the same as last year, with higher crowns. One of these, a perfect gem, was shown the reporter. It was trimmed with cream and Astrachan plush, ornamented with lace and gold beads. This was one of the handsomest bonnets on exhibition and the fair one who is so fortunate as to possess it cannot fail to be envied by her less fortunate sisters.
A handsome dress bonnet in silver gray, Normandy shape and trimmed with gray trimming with velvet cravat bow attracts a great deal of attention.
In the line of misses' hats, the reporter was shown a nobly sailor hat, Tam O'Shanter style, which is very popular for street wear. Another in brown, on the mortar board plan, is also a popular street hat. Some children's handsome bonnets were also shown, known as "poke bonnets." A Scotch cap is also very pretty. It is blue velvet and trimmed in Scotch plaid. Jersey caps are very stylish for children, both boys and girls. The most novel feature, however, is a pointed hat in garnet velvet with pointed crown trimmed with steel cord and buttons.
This design is entirely new and as it is very pretty, attracts a great deal of attention. It is impossible, however, to describe all the handsome goods shown, and we will say to the ladies that they should go and see themselves, and they will not be disappointed, whether they wish to purchase an opera bonnet, a street hat or trimmings of any kind.
Autumn Musings.
--public, or rather, the student mind at present. While there are many advantages which would result from the change, the objections seem to me to have been overlooked. Friday night is the only one of the week in which the students have time for social recreation. So if it be occupied by literary society meetings, many of the students will either break into their study hours during the week by a dance or card party, or skip the society meetings. As many of our best workers in the literary societies often attend, on Friday nights, some social gathering or other, which they would be loath to give up, the societies should weigh these considerations well before making any change.
Again we muser has heard of something at which to rejoice — that the boys of one fraternity entertained those of another a few days ago. I am very glad to see this, and hope to hear of more such parties. One of the greatest drawbacks to college life is the eternal and inevitable slandering and backbiting between the fraternities. Now there is no need of this whatever, for it grows out of misunderstanding and lack of acquaintance more than anything else; so if there were more gatherings of this kind there would be much good feeling created between the societies. Other colleges have inter-fraternity banquets which are great successes. I think we ought to have something of the kind here, and doubtless we could if some of the fraternity men would work up the scheme.
At the ball game the other day I noticed quite a number of lady students among the spectators. That's right! The girls should come out and cheer the boys on in their athletic sports as they do in other schools.
The change of time of the literary society meetings from afternoon to night is considerably agitating the
Now that Prof. Spring's History of Kansas is being circulated, I am reminded of a rather amusing question asked by a farmer of a student who was cavassing for the book. This history belongs to a series of State histories edited by Horace E. Scudder, a well known eastern literary man. The farmer looked over the prospectus and noticed Mr. Scudder's name on it, upon which he incessantly wanted to know if that was "old man Scudder that lives down on the Wakarusa." The student passed on to the next house.
On Friday evening a couple of our students, who are temperate to a fault, fearing that the elder to which the faculty were being treated, was too rich for their digestion, made an effort to reduce the strength and quantity of the same to proper limits. Their wholly disinterested kindness seems not to have been appreciated by the faculty. They were just stepping into the back-kitchen where the demijohn of cider was sitting, just thinking how much good they might accomplish by removing this timentation from the younger and more innocent members of the faculty, when an apparition, as it were, appeared before them. With characteristic promptness they determined upon a retreat. They were in no hurry; were not at all scared; even had the presence of mind to keep of the blue grass by retreating to the back instead of the front side of the yard. The boys, in the rapidity of their movements, accidentally ran over an unoffending "prep" who happened to be loitering in the back alley, who picked himself up just in time to fall into the hands of an investigating committee of the faculty. He was soundly shaken for his timelarity, but was finally released on a promise to go and sin no more. By this time the boys had notified the temperance branch of the Y. M. C. A. that the "game was up," and all returned each to his respective room, more fully convinced that—

OPERA HOUSE. OCTOBER 26TH.
The Dayton (O.) Journal of a recent date says: "Robert McWade was greeted by a large audience last evening, when he appeared in his well known characterization of Rip Van Winkle, and was received by repeated applause. Mr. McWade Rip Van Winkle was written by him self, and is decidedly the most natural interpretation of the pretty vagary which Irving dedicated to the Catskills. There is a more marked vein of pathos in it than in Boucault's version as played by Joseph Jefferson, and a more agreeable picture of the character of Rip and his frau. There is a moral sentiment to it in which Mr. Boucault's dramatization is imperfect. In Mr. Boucault's version, for example the last act closes with the old, and fortunate set, gray-haired and infirm drinking to the dregs the same cup that destroyed all his happiness Mr. McWade perceives this moral defect, and in his version the interposing hand of his daughter stays the cup, and the invocation, "May you all live long and happy," come from jips unpolluted by drink. This idea of moral propriety is carried throughout the play. Mr. McWade acting and dialect is unsurpassed His Rip, after the twenty years sleep, is a noble idea of the character and perfectly carried out.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO FLORIDA
To the World's Fair at New Orleans, or to any point South, and wish to have a pleasant trip, you will need to be informed as to the best, quickest and cheapest route. The Memphis Short route South, with its Through Buffet Sleeping Cars Kansas City to New Orleans, its Free Reclining Chair Cars Kansas City to Memphis (and being over one hundred miles the shortest line to the South), is practically the only line from Kansas City, the West and Northwest, to all Southern cities. No other line runs through cars between Kansas City and New Orleans. No other route can offer but one change of cars from Kansas City to Jacksonville and other Florida points. There is no other good route between the West and the South. Ask your Ticket Agent for tickets via the Memphis Short Route. Write for large map, with Time Tables, showing through connections.

The encouragement we received the past season from the best trade for the superior quality, style and make of our Goods, convinces us that the trade requires a better class of CLOTHING than formerly.
Having that aim in mind, we have, for the Fall Trade, had our styles, make and trimmings, improved, besides introducing such novelties as no house can equal.
While it is our aim to introduce to the trade a superior class of Clothing, we also keep in mind that our prices must be such as to meet with the favor of the trade.
We shall at all times be pleased to have our Goods and Prices compared with those of our competitors.

The Board of Directors of the University Review company met Monday foronowen and elected T. F. Doran, Josie Gilmore and F. A. Marshall, editors; Chas, L. Smith and Wm. H. Brown, directors. All these places were vacancies.
We would like to know what has inspired the faculty. A tea party was given them Friday by Mrs. Prof, Miller, and Saturday they went to the Wakarusa on a nutting expedition. They forgot the cider in the last mentioned place; at least we judge so, is no broken fingers are reported.

We are glad to see that the nonfraternity men in Orophilian are acting as a unit. The fraternity combination have made this necessary.

The Atchison Patriot copied the Cocheret's short biographies of the new professors. We are glad to see the people take so much interest in our faculty.
At the next constitutional convention provisions should be made for a fixed annual tax to support Kansas University. Thus the head of our educational system would be placed above the reach of partisan politics.

On the third page, the COURIER prints its second installment of Kansas University songs. Much praise is due the writers for their prompt endeavors. We trust the students will continue to allow the divine afflatus to inspire them. Some songs are needed for next month.

The Corrier hopes that the Regents will do all they can to secure a military instructor. The United States -should not require us to pay its instructor's salary for two instructors are now detailed to Iowa, one of whom is unlawfully at a private school. If laws can be stretched for Iowa, they can be stretched for Kansas.
At a late meeting of the Regents, Prof. W. H. Carruthi was given permission to spend nine months in Europe, beginning Jan. 7, 1886.
The Professor and Mrs, Carruth, and little Constance, will spend the winter in Germany, and next summer in Switzerland, making short trips into France, Italy and Greece. We envy the Professor his journey.

A few years ago Prof. Canfield gave a silver ball to the best base ball nine in the University, provided they would accept a challenge from any other nine in school or give up the ball. For a long time there has been no contests for the coveted prize, but lately new enthusiasm seems to have struck the boys, and from the present outlook it seems as though the first nine will bear it away this season.
Among the different societies of the University, the Science Club stands among the highest. It is an organization the meetings of which are attended regularly by five professors besides quite a number of students who are active members and take part in the programs. For a student who has no literary ambition, it is the best club to join, as it gives him drill on scientific subjects, and accustoms him to speak before an audience, something which will be valuable to him in after life. At the last meeting the question of 'inviting ladies to join was somewhat discussed and it may soon be a means of getting acquainted with the girls. They have a banquet every commencement, which is always a jolly good time. A week from to-morrow they have an excursion to Ottawa to visit the sugar factory, machine shops, Ottawa University, etc. Not only their own members are going, but they invite the whole school. Everybody should take advantage of the half fare rate and go. And all scientific students should become members as soon as possible. Meetings are held every two weeks. The next meeting will be in the chemical building, one weel from to-day, at 3 p. m. All are in vited.
We are happy to announce to the world that the University of Kansas now has a military company, and the COOKER will accordingly stop its "howls" on the subject. It only remains for the faculty and regents to take some interest in the matter and get an instructor at the earliest possible date. The following is an extract from the revised statutes of the United States, amended and approved by Congress July 5, 1884. "The President may, upon application of any established college or university within the United States, having capacity to educate at the same time not less than one hundred and fifty male students, detail an officer of the army to act as president, superintendent or professor thereof; but the number of officers so detailed shall not exceed forty at any time, and they shall be apportioned throughout the United States as nearly as may be practicable, according to population." It appears that Kansas and Colorado have together only enough population to have one officer between them, and that one has been located at Manhattan, Kan. But there is still one other course to pursue. An act of Congress approved May 4, 1880, provides: "That the president may detail an officer of the army on the retired list, and such officer may receive from the institution to which he may be detailed, the difference between his retired and full pay." The details authorized by this act are in addition to the forty above spoken of and may be made to any school of the requisite grade, without regard to the population of the district it is situated in or the number of officers already on duty therein. Then it is only a question of a little expense with the regents, which shall decide whether we are going to have a military instructor or not.
The number of students who have signified their willingness to become members of the organization shows how much interest they take in the affair. At the last meeting the roll was swelled to fifty, and an average of forty have assembled to drill whenever called upon by the captain elect. The other officers have not yet been chosen, the company preferring to wait and see who takes the most interest in it, and who are best fitted to fill the positions. If an officer is appointed, the government will furnish arms and ammunition annually enough to supply a company of one hundred and fifty members, upon the regents, chancellor, faculty or others giving bond equal in amount to double the value of arms taken, and promising to return them in good order within thirty days after being notified by the Secretary of War. If the regents refuse to secure an instructor we sincerely hope that the boys will keep the present organization up until the regents are convinced that an instructor is absolutely needed. Meetings of the company are held Wednesdays at 2:30 p.m., and Saturday at 10 a. m. Let every loyal student of the K. S. U. become a member.
A Constitutional University Tax
A University which aims at permanence, reputation and respectability, should have a solid financial backing. Nothing will so dishearten a management and weaken the best efforts of the faculty as to have an irregular means of support, and not to know whence and in what quantities the next installment is to come.
The legislature of the State has sometimes treated our University very well, sometimes only fair to middling. But the great trouble lies in this: The men who make up the legislature come together for but sixty days in two years, and in that short time they are expected to thoroughly learn and legislate for the interests of a great and growing State. One of the least important of these, so many bastily suppose, is the State University, and the bill providing for it is left to the last of the session, and then it is rushed through without much examination and subject to the whim and caprice of an assembly which has to be constantly on the lookout for jobs and frauds. One or two men who do not see the advantage of an education because they have none, or want no one to enjoy the privileges which they did not have, can make, and have sometimes successfully made, a guerrilla attack, with a cry of "favoritism" and "job," which will neutralize the efforts of the friends of education.
The remedy for this is a constitutional provision that a certain percent of the taxes collected shall go to the State University. Make this amount even a moderate one, and it will be vastly more acceptable than the customary fight for a big appropriation with the idea that it will be cut down to a decent and not a uselessly small one. As the State would grow in wealth, the fund for the University would increase, and the supply of educational facilities would always keep pace with the demand.
This is not an untried experiment. The Michigan University at Ann Arbor is maintained by a regular tax. The result is that Ann Arbor, though not entitled to a high rank by location, is now at the head of Western Universities.
Friends of the University should unite in educating popular opinion to see the advantage of such a constitutional provision. When the next convention is held we should try to secure the benefits of what would amount to a permanent endowment for the State University of Kansas.
Students' Views.
In a late issue of your paper there appeared an excellent and ably written article upon the Greek fraternities. The writer affirms that the verdant enquirer is told that to belong to a fraternity "is the only way in which the most refused social intercourse can be obtained"—a statement which I unequivocally challenge as pernicious in inference and foundationless in fact. There can be no doubt but that the scope and opportunity for social intercourse is extended in the very nature of things. But this is all that the most fanatical of fraternity adherents claim.
"The fraternity men must defend his fraternity or acknowledge himself connected with a bad organization." This is an assertion characterized by more of adroitness and plausibility than strict accordance with fact. The writer seems to think that to join a fraternity is to renounce all morality and to bid farewell to every scruple of conscience, and that devotion to the interests of his society must partake of the nature of blind, unreasoning fanaticism. To the statement I reply that no iron clad oath can ever make a member of any fraternity do violence to his conceptions of his right and justice, or make him an apostate for the holy creed he learned at his mother's knee.
"I can conceive of but one hardable aim of a Greek fraternity," etc. From one in such extraordinary harmony with the very and only object for which they are established, I had expected less of the uncharitableness contained in the implication that a member of one fraternity is necessarily at loggerheads with those of every other. The great mistake under which the writer (and a great many other barbs) labors, is that he seems to think that connection with a Greek society means a total eclipse of his individuality, and consequently the compulsory adoption of all the friendships and emnities of his fraternity. This is a view of the matter as erroneous as it is pernicious.
The writer contends that connection with a fraternity tends to make one narrowminded and onside, to warp his judgement, bias his mind and bigotize him generally. If this be true in any degree, the fault lies in his own innate unworthiness and not in his fraternity. The man who supports a candidate whom he knows to be utterly unworthy of his support simply because he belongs to his fraternity, and who unscrupulously maligns his candidates' opponent for the opposite reason, is a cowardly and unprincipled sneak, and beneath contempt. And the man who can see in his own fraternity nothing to blame, and in others nothing to praise, is beneath the pity of a Digger Indian.
"Another evil is the tendency to elevate incompetent men to positions of honor." That connection with a fraternity at least increases the chances for minor preferment, is a fact as lamentable as it is impossible to be disputed. But that fraternities are made the pulleys by which to hoist utterly incompetent men to places of honor and trust, is unconditionally false. And the writer's so-called expose of fraternity management is one which it were charity to call exaggeration. That more or less of minor preferment is the reward of a species of partisan service, is undisputed. But positions of honor are assigned with a vigilant eye to reputation and a healthy regard for public opinion. And no fraternity would dare to jeopardise itself and to exasperate public sentiment by agitating the election of a man notoriously incompetent.
Granted that fraternities are sometimes abused, and in the manner alleged, has that fact any logical and intrinsic weight against them as a whole? The writer falls into that old contemptible rut, and boots the same old boot which wise (?) old fanatics have hooted for three thousand years—judging an institution by its effects when abused and not when rightly used. Is everything which produces evil effects when prostituted, radically wrong? Let us carry the writer's masterly logic a little further. The prohibitory law has been abused; therefore it should be repealed. Religion has been abused. Abolish it! This University is being made the means for an unworthy end. Abandon it!
But before we follow out this brilliant line of argument to its just and legitimate conclusion, let us pause and let our intuitive sense of right and justice tell us that to abolish an institution because it is pernicious when abused, is a coward's method of reform.
FRANK A. MARSHALL.
We have heard many clamors for a military company during the summer. We now have an organization and several enthusiastic students who have made a good start. Now we want the body of students to take hold of the scheme and help it on nothing can be made a success unless we work. Newspaper articles will not make a military company unless a large per cent. of our students take hold with a will and strive to aid the papers.
What is now wanted is a regular officer from the army to drill the company. We can get this officer by working. Other colleges have the regular military department. We should not be behind eastern college in this matter. To succeed we should get the Regents interested in the matter and get them to petition for the detail of an officer. The faculty are willing to do what they can. Tr Regents will undoubtedly recognize the necessity of some such organization well conducted. The first step is a good strong organized body of students who will assure its success
When we call on the students to join the company we do not mean that we want a large crowd who will come to drill when they feel in the humor, and who will stay away if the weather is inclement. By no means We mean a smaller number who will stick through all to the organization and who can let their girls go by themselves a few hours each week Come on and join, make the militia a success. E.

I want to use your columns to express a desire of the students for a study room. The Chancellor has been doing his utmost to keep the corridors clear this term. This sends a large crowd to the library each hour, many of whom have no desire to study and who prevent others from attending to their work, when the alcoves are filled with idle boys who keep up a continual clatter. Now I think that if these fellows must let the in keep away from the library or else let us have a room devoted to students who wish to study.

Covered walk to the Chemical building? Yes, that is what we students want. It is all very well on sunny days when the gentle Kansas zephyr kiss the cheeks and brows of our lads and lassies as they go tripping over the cinder walk to the departure of drugs, but when the Kansas blizzard howls from the northwest and the air is filled with sleet and the cinder walk is slushy mud, it is a trivialiation. "Through much tribulation we enter into the kingdom of Heaven," and Prof. Bailey is so kind and patient and excuses all tardiness that we well nigh forget the trials.

The jolly Juniors never are known
To give a sigh, or tear or mourn,
And 87 is the very one
Onslay Sophs well earn their name,
Forever stirring after fame,
bringing parties in wonderful state :
Fr instance, the class of '88.
To see that Brown each deed is Dunn.
**60** fieble Freshhes, too, are here ;
**61** other classes they're all in fear.
**62** 80 conforms to the rule ;
**63** 86 she's the wretched tool.

OLD OREAD.
Old Oread, of tice,
Grand old society,
Of thee we sing.
In thee we take great pride,
For thee we’ve “lived and lied,”
Forever on thy side,
Our voices ring.
Old Oread thy land
Oil Oread, my band
is loyal heart and hand,
Each lad and lass,
Though life's keen chilly blast,
Doth come and hurry past,
We'll stand until the last
With Oread.
Long live old Oread!
So think we all of us,
So think we all.
Long live old Oread!
So think we all of us,
So think we all of us,
So think we all.
THE JUNIOR.
The Junior stood in the corridor,
And waited for his girl to come.
To carry that pretty co-ed's nooks,
He had waited from twelve to
The cloak room poured forth its smiling crowd,
And now appears that longed for face.
The Junior's heart beat fast.
To some favored boy each one has bowed.
And the story was 'eer' the same.
At last he will gain his accustomed place
And—but wait till you hear the last.
With a childlike smile he approached the fair,
Extends his hands for her books and more.

For the past nine months the regular issue of the WEEKLY COURIER has been 1,000 copies.
--the spirit of the dream of a month ago. Only a few short weeks ago the columns of the college press teemed with vociferous demands for a course in Spanish. Why are those voices so silent now? They were lifted up in a good cause, wherefore are they still? Every year we send out a score or more of young men and women ardent and fiery with the hot ambitions of youth. They look to the east, and the professions overflowing to suffocation with mediocrity, hold out no hope for patient effort. They turn to the north and northwest, and cheerless wastes and icy blasts chill their burning zeal. They look to the south, and a fierce sectional bigotry bids northern hope despair. Where, then, shall they go? If the stifled professions, hopeless as chancery, dishearten them, where can they turn but to the west and southwest, and especially the latter, a region where a knowledge of Spanish is indispensible, and where that knowledge is a condition to advancement and promotion which must be complied with.

Our December contest promises to be a most exciting one. Both sides have good programs and are determined to win.

It is rumored that the young ladies are organized for Halloween. Now, girls, please be careful, or the police, or the boys, or somebody, will be hurt.
The executive committee of the Oratorical Association should hold a meeting and settle the date for the local contest. If possible it should be held before Christmas.
Missouri in 1880 had eight medical schools, and graduated 248 doctors. The State which calls itself the educational center of the west, should at least equal her sister across the Old Muddy. Give us a medical school.
To-morrow evening is Hallowe'en, and of course the students will enjoy a little relaxation. A great many jokes can be played which harm no one. Too often, however, a crowd of boys will allow their enthusiasm to run away with their judgment, and much damage is done to property. For the sake of the good name of Kansas University, let no property be destroyed to-morrow evening.
We are happy to chronicle the success of another of K. S. U.'s bright sons. Mr. P. A. Huber, of the Sophomore class, has received the nomination of the Democratic party for the office of county surveyor of Jefferson county. The voters of that county should gladly cast their ballots for a Kansas boy, a high minded man and a gentleman. In all his classes he has always stood among the first, if not the foremost, and is well qualified for the position. Success to you, Albert.

There seems to be a great deal of talk about social entertainments in the University of late. We have something to suggest in this line, and it is something that has been tried in other colleges and has always proven a success. It is an inter-fraternity ball. A dance given by each fraternity alone is well enough, but something ought to be held in the name of the University. It has been proven that if any class undertake it it will be a failure, as the members of some other class will invariably try to break it up. So let the fraternities take the matter in hand and see if they cannot make it a success.

The University Corrier at Lawrence wants the constitution of the State amended so as to levy a perpetual tax on the property of the State for the support of that institution. Not much, till there is a little different blood put into the institution than what is in it now. -Topeka Commonwealth.
By the way, the Commonwealth will continue to fail in politics until a little new blood is placed on its staff. Prof. Canfield is getting the young editors ready for you, Father Baker. But Prof. Spring does not teach the newspaper English of your last sentence.

The chancellor spoke wisely last Friday morning when he referred to marring the building. Kansas can well feel proud of the building she gives the University, and the students should take pride in keeping it clean and neat. Just picture the walls of the corridors all marked with lead pencils. Visitors would take this for Baker instead of Kansas University. We are not complaining of the walls for they are kept bright and white, but once in a while we see a student carelessly make a mark or two, and you must remember "little drops of water, little grains of sand." Let us be more thoughtful.
Not a year passes but hundreds of students in our different colleges are suddenly called home to the death bed of a dying friend or relative. The University of Kansas is no exception to the rule. Frequently students receive dispatches announcing that Father, Mother or other friend, who is very dear to them, is dying. Studies are laid aside, school work is forgotten while they hasten to join the mournable circle assembled in remembrance of the loved one just departed. Often one thinks it was a pity that he or she was not permitted to live long enough to once more recognize you before earthly life was ended. Sometimes it is a consolation to think that he or she has led a life of purity, and is now in a better land enjoying the company of loved ones who have gone before. And it is always an incentive for you to lead such a life that when you think of the time when you shall go down to the river of death and its chill waters dampen your feet, looking back over your past life you can truthfully say: "I have fought the good fight. I have finished my work. I now submit to God's will without a murmur." And when the dear one has been laik to rest in the cold lonely grave, the weeping family again gather around the fireside, each one knowing ful well that another of their number will soon be called by the angel of death but which one it is, it is probably better for them not to know. It may be the eldest, but whoever it is, you should face it maniacally, as the will of Him who commands the universe.
Students' Views.
Everything in the amusement line is waking up. There were three parties and a social last Friday evening, and to-night there are two parties, and two to-morrow night.
--the spirit of the dream of a month ago. Only a few short weeks ago the columns of the college press teemed with vociferous demands for a course in Spanish. Why are those voices so silent now? They were lifted up in a good cause, wherefore are they still? Every year we send out a score or more of young men and women ardent and fiery with the hot ambitions of youth. They look to the east, and the professions overflowing to suffocation with mediocrity, hold out no hope for patient effort. They turn to the north and northwest, and cheerless wastes and icy blasts chill their burning zeal. They look to the south, and a fierce sectional bigotry bids northern hope despair. Where, then, shall they go? If the stifled professions, hopeless as chancery, dishearten them, where can they turn but to the west and southwest, and especially the latter, a region where a knowledge of Spanish is indispensible, and where that knowledge is a condition to advancement and promotion which must be complied with.
I can not refrain from calling attention in a modest way to a few of the most prominent points made by the noble Greek who so ably upheld his side of the fraternity question in the last issue of the Courier. The whole of the first paragraph is a simply but very clearly stated "You lie, Sir," which let me state right here is such a thundering avalanche of overwhelming argument that I shall not attempt to answer it. As it is something so new, so unheard of in the annals of debate, and at the same time so logical, that it would be useless to try to conceal the fact that in this particular portion of his article at least, be completely, everlastingly and irrevictively pulverizes my argument.
Your worthy correspondent says my statement that "the fraternity man must defend his fraternity or acknowledge himself connected with a bad organization," is characterized by more of adroitness and plausibility than truth, and then in place of attempting in even the remotest way to show why my statement was not true, he sweepingly sums it up with the weakest piece of high sounding sophistry I have run across in many a day. He says "no iron clad oath can make any fraternity man do violence to his conceptions of right and justice, or make him an apostate to the holy creed he learned at his mother's knee."
☆
☆
He acknowledges that there is only one truly landable aim of a fraternity, so there is no further discussion on that point. He says I seem to think that to belong to a fraternity means the compulsory adoption of all the friendships and emmities of his fraternity. If he had left out the word compulsory he would have spoken my sentiments as clearly as I could have done. A fraternity man does this just as naturally, and many times I doubt not as unconsciously, as a man takes up the ways and customs of a people with whom his lot may happen to be cast. He acknowledges that to belong to a fraternity, indisputably increases his chances of being elected to some position, so I will drop that part of the discussion.
And now comes his profound logic in closing, to which I wish more particularly to call your attention. He wants to know if everything which produces evil effects when prostituted is radically wrong. "The prohibition law has been abused; therefore it should be repealed. Religion has been abused; abolish it!" If any institution ostensibly good contains within itself the germs of its own pollution; if it be abused time after time and the abuse prevails to such an extent that the institution is no longer what it was intended to be, and there is no reason to suppose that it can be reformed, then—then most assuredly abolish it! Suppose the prohibition law was not enforced to any reasonable extent, and suppose farther that there was no prospect of its ever being enforced, would the most rabid prohibitionist think for a moment of retaining it upon the statute books? Most certainly not.
And now permit me to say in closing, that I am not a fraternity later, as the gentleman seemed to think. In my first article I merely called attention to some of the objections that have been raised to them, many of which I think worthy of consideration by the new student before identifying himself with one.
L. A. STEBBINS.
We haven't heard anything about a Spanish course for a long time. It seems that a change has come o'er
Year after year the relations between Mexico and the United States are becoming those of national fraternity. As the people of the two nations come to know each other they see that their interests are reciprocal. And when a full and perfect confidence and amity shall be established, a vast and fruitful effort will be opened up. Let us then take time by the forelock, and educate for the future as well as the present. But let it not be understood that the former phase has all the importance attaching to the question. A great field of possibility and promise calls upon us to-day to equip our graduates to win the prizes it offers. Let us have the matter agitated, and in the near future we shall have a chair in Spanish. F. A. MARSHALL.
The organization of the Oratorical Association brings up thoughts and speculations upon this question; and what your correspondent would like to see would be some of our lady orators taking part in the coming contest. If we mistake not, no lady has as yet spoken in our local contests. Ladies, there is no reason why one of you should not represent the K. S. U. in the State contest this winter. Bestir yourselves, write your orations and take the conceit out of some of our young Websters in the local contest. Boy,
Last Friday the chancellor gave the students another lecture about loitering in the halls between recitations. We think that all students must readily admit that it is a ridiculous spectacle to see a row of boys standing on each side of the hall, between whom the ladies must pass in going to and from their classes. Such exhibitions of gentlemanly (?) conduct as these were, as the chancellor said, the causes which made him mention this thing again. Now your correspondent for one thinks the chancellor has been extremely mild, and at the same time extremely just in his requests in this matter; and that we, the students, ought to respect his wishes to the highest degree.

I think the University needs a reception parlor to which a student could take his visiting friends, and which would be open to all students and visitors who would use it for low-toned conversation. Alumni coming back to their alma mater could there talk with old classmates without the professor's frown when they whisper, or an unpleasant request to vacate the corridors. The parlor could be used as the guide's office.

University of California.
Just across the bay and opposite San Francisco, is the little town of Berkeley, the seat of the University of California. The situation of the university is indeed charming. Just front of it and around it is Berkley, imposed of fine residences, which surrounded by nicely kept lawns, many wealthy men of San Francisco or Oakland make this their home on count of the University, and the city shows many signs of their worth and generosity.
The University is built on a slightly ring plat of ground and faces the sea, affording a fine view of the bay in surrounding country. To theft is Oakland, while just in front of the distance is the far famed golden Gate. A low mountain range sees in the rear, from which on a fair day magnificent views may be trained. The University of California is the only school west of the Rockyes" which has gained any reputation. It has a very able corps of professors and a good curriculum.
The grounds of the University are nautical and well kept—for they have that the K. S. U. ought to have—a landscape gardener. The buildings are five in number, none of which will compare with the U. of K. in size or convenience. One of their principal buildings is a frame structure, while its others are of brick and stone. Many of the recitation rooms are carved, which is quite different fromwooded floors. The rooms as a general thing are quite tastefully arranged. I noticed especially that none of the assistant in civil engineering were exceptionally neat.
A former student of the K. S. U. resides over this department. I refer to Prof. Will H. Raymond, who remembered as one of the bright boys that ever left our halls. Will winning golden opinions in his department, and his friends rejoice at its success. The department of civil engineering at the U. of C. is very complete and well managed. One thing of which they can boast is their library and art hall, which is indirect elegant. They have now about 6,000 volumes, and a room excellently equipped for library purposes. They have no audience room of any size, hence they use their gymnasium or all occasions like commencement, at which there are large gatherings. There are about five hundred students enrolled, including those in the medical and law departments, which are situated in San Francisco for various courses. There are about three hundred students in the collegiate department.
Their literary societies, like those in the K. S. U., are rather neglected. Think this is due to the fraternity system, which flourishes there as well here. Of course they have their society quarrels and frat combinations just as we. It was here that the well known anti-frat organ, the Occident, nourished for several years, only to be absorbed by the frats in the end. Six fraternities have chapters at the University of California, so that it is plain to be seen that this is not the anti-frat man's paradise.
Of all the more prominent schools west of the Mississippi river, Kansas University undoubtedly stands first, closely pressed by the University of California, however, and perhaps in some points excelled. Yet, all in all, the latter is not equal to our University; nor is it likely to be. The star of Kansas University is in the ascendency, and in its race towards the zenith will hardly be outstripped by any school in the Occident.

THE LAWRENCE TANK LINE IS PAINTED RED
COAL OIL JOHNNY To the Front!
J. L. BERKEY, PROPRIETOR OF THE Lawrence Tank Line
Still continues to supply his hundreds of customers with Coal Oil and Gasoline, notwithstanding the grocerymen have said that they proposed to drive him out of Lawrence. And in addition to this, other parties, thinking that he has found a benzaone in the Oil business, and not having brains enough to invent something new, have started a wagon as near like his as possible, except in color, and are even uncrustulous enough to answer to his cards when they see them hanging out, thus deceiving people to the impression or belief that they are getting Oil from him.
Quick Sales and Small Profits is our Motto!
Competition Being the Life of all Business
I AM IN THE OIL BUSINESS EXCLUSIVELY.
I sell Oil for a living. Before making other arrangements see me personally, for my new plan of business has caused all of this commotion among my many competitors.
The people are beginning to avail themselves of this great convenience for which they have my hearty thanks.
The Gasoline consumers will remember that before I came here they were paying 20 and 25 cents per gallon for Gasoline, while I am furnishing it to my customers at 18 cents. The same with Cool Oil.
It will pay you to see me before making any arrangements for Cord Oil.
WOOD AND COAL
I am prepared to fill all orders for
the week on short notice and
on reasonable rates.

Dr. Snow...Scientific Review Notes
We are receiving weekly two copies of the University Courier, one under the management of MLCaren & Kerr, and the other, Fritz & Sullivan. It seems that McLaren and Kerr were dissatisfied with the election of the corps of editors, and, instead of starting a paper to suit themselves, they copied the advertisements, etc., from the Courier and distributed among the students and sent to exchanges a paper bearing the Courier's name and motto, and resembling it in every respect.
We think this a very cowardly act, beffitting a ten year old school boy more than advanced college students.—Baldwin Index.
W. M. Culbertson returned Saturday from Illinois where he has been on a tour of inspection to the various mines to examine the quality of coal mined. He carries several varieties of Illinois coal, anthracite and all the best Kansas coals which he can supply to customers in car load lots or by retail. Mr. Culbertson has been in the coal business for over twenty years and is thoroughly posted as to the merits of the various kinds of coal on the market. In view of his experience it is reasonable to suppose that the coal recently ordered will be of the best the market affords, at any rate it will arrive in a few day when people can have an opportunity to judge for themselves

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 30, 1885
Dr. Nichols received a chronograph this week from Paris. It is a very fine instrument, being made especially by the order of the Physies Department by Duboseq in Parts at a cost of $250.
Company H. K. N. G. gave the second of its series of hops last Friday night. This company aside from being the best drilled in the State, is composed of a fine class of young men who are in the front rank of Lawrence society and consequently understand how to give a first class dance.
MILITARY BALL.
The hop last Friday night was given in Frazier's hall, with about thirty couples in attendance. Music was furnished by Buchi's orchestra for the occasion, which as a matter of course was first class. The company intends to give an informal hop every two weeks, and four dress balls during the course of the year. One of these balls will be given on Thanksgiving's night, one on Christmas, one on Washington's birthday and one as a grand finale to the whole series.
The class of '88 met in Prof. Miller's room at the end of the fourth hour, and was called to order by E. A. Wheeler, president pro tem. The following officers were elected for the coming year. President, Jack Schall; vice-president, E. L. Ackley; secretary, Miss Mau Thrasher; treasurer, John Prescott, poet, Miss May Webster; prophet, W. E. Higgins; reporter, Agnei Lune.
As Mr. Fritz met with remarkable success with the circuses which have so much delighted the Faculty and "Preps" in the past, he was unanimously elected as circus manager for the coming year, with instructions to "work the first circus that came along. The feasibility of a class dance was then discussed but was postponed until the next meeting. No further business appearing the classes adjourned.
It IS RUMORED!—That Prof. Can field said "rats."...That the K. S. U. Guards are dandies...That Post and Griff got wet...That Caldwell received a chivari... That Fritz wants a nickle for that horn...That the December contest will be a good one...That the Chancellor gives the boys good advice when he gets them alone
...That the Providence club fired Higgins...That Burney has taken unto himself a girl...That Joe Grover is a Sigma Nu...That Geo Lewis likes to hunt ducks at Sibley...That Dan, Crew's dogs are the brainstem members of the law class...That the Freshmen will organize next year...That the Sophomores will have a dance soon...That the Juniors will not have "the ball" this year...That the Seniors will buy plugs...That some students will have their fares paid to go home and vote...That Brown and Reed scout at other in the German class...That Prof. McDonald intends to study painting...that Marshall "got there"...thatCurry made a "mark" in Orophilian...that McLaren got kicked...that the toe of a boot rightly located is sometimes a better inheritance than the legacy of a rich uncle...that Blair and Jenks visited the Indian school...that Blair was charmed by the beautiful Indian maidens...that Jenks knows how to milk cows...that Blair's hat does not hold milk...that there is to be a PanHellenic banquet Faculty sat upon the
...that the Faculty sat upon the societies' scheme of meeting Friday evenings... that German dances at the University are at a discount... that some of the participants got fired... that some of the boys serenaded Caldwell... that next Saturday is Hallowen'.e
The October months still continue to come in and sit down at our table. A number of these are marked No.1. This seems like a species of inaziness. All the colleges begin in September and when a college paper gets out its first number the third week in October it does not speak well for the enterprise of *ge editor*.
EXCHANGES.
No.8.
The Occident, with its pale blue cover and bright pages, is always welcome. We would respectfully rise to inquire what the seven business managers find to do.
The Mirror is good, what there is of it. It is slightly mistaken in its notions, when it laughs at our motto, but we forgive it, since it says "We like the Courier."
The University from Chicago has in its list of contributors, Cancellor J. A. Lippincott.
The Ottawa Campus comes from our Baptist friends on the Marlas des Cygnes. It comes so rarely that we had forgotten all about it.
The Wesleyan Bee has changed its clothes and comes out as a semi-monthly. The last number is nearly filled by the speech of its representative at the State contest.
It seems strange to us that our University is so often accused of having no literary papers when the Review claims to be so exclusively literary. In all our college exchanges we fail to find any notice of our high-searing cotemporary.
We also acknowledge the receipt of the following, this week: Bodger, College Review, Lehigh Burr, Denison News, Hinii, College World, College Transcript, Solomon Sentinel, Literary Monthly, The Hatchet, Index, Observer, Simpsonian, Hillsdale Herald, College Journal, Collegian, Holland, Hesperman, Epoch.
WHAT THE COURIER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.
Which is the first base ball nine?
Why Yoke thinks the season is too far advanced to play ball?
If it isn't about time for the Faculty to have another party?
Whether the "harbs" think that Sigma Nu is a fraternity or not?
If McLaren is a non-fraternity man?
Why Graham cursed and swore?
Why Curry ripped and tore?
If this keeps up what is to come of the, Y. M. C. A.
Which society will win in the December contest?
Which society elected its representatives without a combination?
When it became fashionable to discuss candidates, records in the nominating speeches?
Where is the college that can beat K. S. U. in college or "frat" publications?
How Morgan likes this issue or his old paper?
Which is the "war" society now?
If Oread politicians could not have given Orophillians a pointer or two?
How many of the boys heard Gilmore's band from the "starry realms"?
If the Oratorical Association has started well?
If the Courten isn't an enterprising alcheet?
If the Coccur enlarged isn't, in deed, a dialysis?
If the Commun isn't *the* popular paper, and if it oughtn't be?
Why the "barbs" don't put on
"barb" when they organize?

STATISTICS collected by the Massachusetts Board of Labor Statistics show that of 705 women who have completed a college course, only twenty per cent, showed a deterioration in health, and these in large part suffered from inherited ailments. Those who studied moderately appear to have been benefitted during college life. It was also ascertained that while only about twenty-seven per cent of these women have married—a somewhat smaller percentage than usual—they have had 263 children, less than one in ten of whom have died, the conclusion being that "though college-bred women may give birth to fewer children than others, those children are stronger and more likely to live."
Though we do not wish to find fault with the powers that be yet it does seem to us, that it is about time to take another step toward the improvement of our marking system. The first step was taken two years ago when the class officer system was abolished, and while we were on the road of progress; examinations were abolished for all those who could get through the term with a grade of 90. This plan was most satisfactory to both professors and student, but strange to say the law was, for no obvious reason repealed: examinations are again in vogue, the high standard of term work immediately fall and "great the fall there of." Let our thoughtful students give their views on this most important subject. We are quite sure that that they will agree with us that more thorough work is always done when the mark depends entirely upon the term work, for them each recitation is an examination in itself. Ye thinkers, hold forth.
THE Baldwin Index this month sends up a pitious wall upon "The custom of certain organs of the State University reviling Baker with the most perfect heartlessness of criticism and hatred." Oh, no! We love dear "Old Baker" and only mean to mete out a kindly critazism and advice. As to ungenerous insinuation of "glass houses" we will only say ours is of Kansas limestone. Utterly impregnable.
WHILE every thing is on the move in this age of progress, and every one seems to be in the spirit to ascend fame's "rugged frowning steep," it seems to us to be the proper time to assume the character of Olive Twist and call for "more." Our extreme modesty only permits us to ask for one thing more and that is that about $4,000 be appropriated to furnish the chapel with a pipe organ. When this is obtained the musical department will be able to branch out in another direction; it will afford greater advantages than any other musical school in the west. A fine pipe organ will certainly do much for K. S. U., it will increase the already numerous attractions and insure the attendance of many who now pass us by to find greater advantages in the east. Surely there is no one but can see what a great addition this will be to K. S. U. In the good time that is coming by and by, when the hearts of the alumni are filled with love for their alma mater, sweet sounds will fill the air, and the melodious tones of the musician will steal upon the memory chasing away all care. Besides it will add greatly to the attractions of the chapel services where allurements are sadly needed to bring in the thoughtless student.
In connection with our new departure of this week, our "Society News," we send papers to a large number of persons in the city non-subscribers whose names have been furnished us by friends. Two or three issues will be so sent, of which we kingly ask your perusal. The subscription to THE COUER for one year is one dollar. Those not desiring the paper to this extent will please mark any following issue (unless seen by our circulator before then) "Refused" and return to postman. We shall be happy to retain on our COUER List the names of all who receive papers.

Acurr in this world that will as sist in the engendering of the noblest of passions, human friendship, that will bring hearts of human beings together as the creatures of one maker, as brothers and sisters having common impulses interestedly feeling and knowing each others wants, likes and dislikes, from the heart sympathizing and extending assistance in trouble, is certainly to be commended and glorified by mankind. It is the most delicately refined passion known to man and is to be ever fostered. With this as its enlighten end foundation was the Greek letter system of college fraternities originated. The human mind demands reciprocal association as one of the elements of its normal development. In these it is very sensitive being very choice and curtailing the number in its open workings very closely. Everybody wants a few select friends. In college life where young minds, utter strangers, were from year to year brought together something to foster this, something beyond the course of real natural affinity of soul to soul in the forming of aquaintanceship and friendship was recognized and resulted in the college secret fraternity system which for the twenty years past especially has spread so rapidly in the colleges of the United States. Theoretically they form an artificial band for the affinitionalizing of supposedly harmonious minds into human friendship.
What an ennobling and exalted idealization to degenerate and be subjected to some of the terrible misusages and sickening abuses which an insight into its practical workings to-day reveals! Most loudly does its present and future demand consideration. In colleges all over our fair land what a perverted system on the whole, presents itself! In our eastern college as highly social or
Their direful influence upon "outside" college life is of many forms. From a social basis they too often form a social aristocracy whose crust as a barrier to the "outsider" is practically unbreakable. The result of this is in the scores of bright, intelligent young men and women, who leave college year after year thoroughly disgusted with school life, "The most wearlose months of my life," the verdict The cause to be traced direct to social ostracization through this influence. The same is seen in general class room work, in literary work, in everything in which students are brought together in what should be generosity and kindliness of spirit. Instead, a spirit of iciness, of non-recognizance of mutual-interest prevails.
In elective college honors "trat" aggrandizement stands beyond all the virtues of ability and worth to be found in the "outsider." If the "outsider" receives anything from them where they hold the power, most anterior motives can be looked for. Generosity will usually be found the furthest removed.
In this line misuses might be expounded on and on. As purely the exalted, noble social system for which it was intended, the college fraternity system, from the youthfulness of the element among which it is meant to exist, it certainly a failure.
One of the greatest drawbacks to the growth of good colleges and universities in the United States is the growing tendency to increase the number of the smaller and inferior institutions. While these weak colleges cannot offer good facilities for a thorough education they nevertheless draw away a considerable number of students from better and larger schools. In this manner schools having really good facilities are hampered very much, and their growth and enlargement is seriously impeded. Many persons often wonder why the European universities outstrip ours so much, but it is for this very reason. When one knows that all Europe has fewer colleges than Ohio, it is very easy to see what hurts Ohio colleges. It is for the citizens of Kansas to decide whether the University, the only institution in the State have really good facilities, shall be held back in this way and the State filled up with one-horse institutions. The University is able to receive the patronage of the entire State, and it should get it all. Let all the citizens of Kansas send their sons and daughters to K. S. U., and our University will soon be without a peer as far cast as the University of Michigan. Though we have now the largest attendance of any college in the State, and though we are progressing rapidly in every department, we might have still more students and faster advancement, if the inferior schools of the State were patronized less.
A University properly so called imparts a great deal of instruction to its students, through the medium of lectures. There is no doubt but that it is an excellent method, and very beneficial to earnest, conscientious students. Our University is gradually adopting this way and will no doubt use it as far as practicable. We hail this as a sign of growth and advancement, as a distinguishing mark of the transition from lower to higher, from Academy to University. We are glad to notice that these lectures although given under the supervision of the different departments are not so technical as to be of no interest to the general student. The art lectures cannot fail to be of living interest to any one desirous of thorough general culture. Professor MacDonald we notice has recently announced a course of musical lectures for his department. In looked over the list we observed that the lectures were all scholarly, cultured speakers, and that their subjects were of a highly interesting character. A number of lectures will also be given in the Law department. The one given by Judge Benson was pronounced very fine and was much enjoyed by all who had the pleasure of listening to it. Prof. J. W. Gleed will give a number of lectures in this department. A man of his scholarly ability will be listened to with great pleasure and profit. We understand that Prof. A. M. Wilcox will give a number of lectures before his classes in Greek tragedy; which will be especially interesting from the fact that the professor has visited Greece, and has made a most thorough and comprehensive study of the subject of Greek tragedy. These and similar class lectures are among the good things which are offered to you. Make the best of these opportunities. When ever you have a vacant hour attend a lecture take notes on it and don't let it go in one ear and come out of the other.
I seems very strange that the chief educational institution in a State should be the last to follow its own teachings. No student would be permitted to pass an examination in chemistry, who did not know the effects of carbonic acid gas upon the human system. Neither would a student be considered fit to complete the study of physiology who did not know the hygienic importance of uniformity of temperature and of good ventilation. Yet, despite all these teachings, the University runs along from year to year with flues inadequate for ventilation, and, as to uniformity of temperature, there is not a thermometer in the building. In one room we take an old fashioned "alcoholic sweat," in the next we enjoy all the cooling zephyr that can find entrance through six raised windows and an open door. One professor of a sanguine temperament paces brisquely up and down before his class, opens all the windows and seems quite surprised, if not offended, when some young lady of delicate health leaves the room to get a shawl. Another professor sits behind his desk never leaving it unless to close a window which some student had the audacity to open, and wonders why the recitations are no better and why so many students fall into revere and are inclined to go to sleep. If any one doubts these statements, all that is necessary for him to do to become fully convinced is to pass from room to room at any hour and note the differences in temperature. If he will step out side the building and fill his lungs with good fresh air, and then enter some of the over-crowded and poorly ventilated rooms he will find the atmosphere not only impure but almost nauseating. We do not wish to cast any reflections upon the work of any members of the faculty. Every professor has enough to do without adding the work of a janitor. However, we do think that this is a matter which should receive more careful attention. There should be a thermometer in every room of the building, and if each professor has not time to attend to the ventilation and temperature of his room, the work should be turned over to some careful and competent janitor. The number of severe colds and cases of sickness which have resulted from negligence is this respect protest most loudly against the further infraction of the first laws of health.
"MUGWUMPS."
On entering upon college life, the new student does but fairly make a beginning on college duties until, if he be a wide-awake, enterprising young man, or young lady, his time and attention is soon absorbed in political schemes, combinations, etc, which are so common at present. Is this as it should be? Does the student attend this institution of learning to study and receive instruction in the various branches of science, made up of corps of literary and scientific professors, or to take the degree of P. S. (Political shyster) under the most ten der care of our political demagogues, of whom, I am sorry to say, we have an overstock?
According to the ancient, but, notwithstanding, ever true proverb,—a stitch in time saves nine.—we must take immediate measures to check this evil. Either we should declare such irrational schemes a disgrace and a damage to the University, and out them from our midst, or adopt a uniform law for the awarding of positions in the literary societies and elsewhere. It seems to be the general sentiment of the students that, in order to award these positions to all students, we must forever discontinue this disgraceful practice, the contestants for the various positions be required to submit their selections to a committee appointed by the society for such a purpose; and, abiding this decision, all will be content, good will and harmony.
ED. VIEWS.—Permit me, through the medium of your department, to call the attention of each student to the necessity that he or she take a personal interest in Prof. Spring's history of Kansas. There are students here from over sixty counties scattered throughout the entire length of the State. In addition to those from Kansas, there are nearly fifty from about fifteen other States. Now, if every student would send a copy home and recommend it to his friends, thereby creating an interest, the result would be marvelous. Could this scheme also equal this scheme in the rapidity with which it would bring the work before the people. The class reached in this way, too, would be intelligent and fair-minded, and the book once in their hands, nothing need be feared for its future.
This is a step in the right direction, and now let both societies awake to the realization of their duties and amend their constitutions. This being done, and a good example set, it cannot fail to be initiated in all branches of our political system.
We owe this much, at least, to our institution. It is no easy task to write a book, and on such a subject. The people of Kansas recognize this, and when this book is brought before the different classes a higher opinion of the men comprising our faculty will prevail. For myself, I handle the book with a great deal of pride. My professor wrote it, which makes me almost feel as though I had a hand in it. He asked me how he could professor talking, so natural is its style. Let every student think on these things. The book costs but a trifle. To say a word, by way of recommendation, requires but little effort. If nearly four hundred of us take hold of this, each doing a little, we may aid greatly in bringing this, our history, before the people of Kansas.
PAUL PREY.
EDITOR VIEWS—It is seldom I take the part of a critic in college affairs. There are various articles in your columns from time to time on the department of students. It is not my purpose at this time to exaggerated matters, but simply to advance a few truths for the consideration of thoughtful and peaceable students. There is a student in school who seems to have entered the arena of politics to an alarming extent. He could not wait until the college year opened, but came to the city some three weeks before other students arrived for their college work. His object in coming at this time was to work up his interest in a college paper. He wanted to be business manager. And as he was a Senior, and was backed by a faction, he, by ways far from honorable, considered himself elected to the desired position. He is now the chief of a clannish paper. He feels dignified, and at the same time very important. This ingenious and enterprising politician made his mark in election of the Oratrical association. He of course wanted to help his friends. It was difficult to decide whom he would help. On the day of the election, he was hungry for something, he knew not what. An hour before the election he made a start, and asked one of the members to serve as president of the association, simply to secure another object. The member being asked
and promised the support of this intriguing fellow, consented to serve if elected. The brisk Senior made another round, and concluded at the end of the hour, he had changed his mind. He had made other arrangements. His word was nothing, and it seems he doesn't consider it of any consequence. There is little to justify a falsehood of such a dignified gentleman. The third campaign of this student was the election of a program in the Orophilian Literary society. Here he based his work on a perfectly unfounded falsehood. He pledged his support and gained the day. He feels happy, only a little anious for another campaign. The sum total of his political chicanery, to this date, is worthy the notice of young politicians, who have no regard for honor or truth. Already, the subject of college politics is being seriously considered by thoughtful persons. When the State University sends out a graduate of this kind, it seems the time and money could have been more profitably expended. N. B.
Autumn Musings.
I hear that some of the drawing students are in the habit of skipping their class on the days of art lectures which are without doubt the most interesting and instructive part of the course, it seems strange that anyone should have the imbecility to forget from time to time that possibly be possible. I hope this will cause these thoughtless students to stop and consider before they absent themselves again from what they can ill afford to miss.
Last year a well known student resigned from one fraternity and joined another, which proceeding was of course honorable and upright. Now no one in the University has any doubt that the gentleman resigned of his own accord, and that he did nothing wrong in so acting, and, yet, while saying nothing against the society which lost the man, their correspondent seems to me to have acted in an unfair and cowardly manner, when he wrote to their fraternity organ that this person was “dishonorably expelled.” Of course those who happen to read it here will take it for what it is worth, but elsewhere it may not be. Another fraternity here announced the same untruth last year concerning a member who, leaving K. S. U., resigned from his society here, and joined another, where he attends school in the east. When such backbitting as this disgusts honest men, some fraternity men will wonder why their societies are in such bad repute.

While Oread can learn much from Orophilian, Orophilian too can learn from her rival. As I wandered into the Orophilian election last week, I was greatly amused at the nominating speeches. Indeed the personalities so freely indulged in by the speakers could scare help creating diversion for the outsiders. I don't wish to criticize anybody in particular for this, but I desire only to remark the peculiar habit into which the society has fallen. Sometime since nominating speeches were abandoned in Oread, and the plan works much better for all concerned. As every one knows all about the candidates, and has decided for whom he will vote before he goes into the meeting, the long nominating harrangues are perfectly useless and can only serve to awaken illfeeling, while helping neither side. I don't suppose one vote was at all affected by the speeches for or against Marshall or Higgins last Friday and I hope that the members of Orophilian may soon allow such things to fall into disuse.
* * * * *
In looking over the students this year, I notice a much larger number than usual, who are quite far advanced in life. It has often been a question in my mind whether these elderly individuals benefit themselves or the school in any considerable degree. Of course a desire to learn is to be praised wherever it is found. Yet there is a limit to all things. True, Xeno commenced his sudies at the age of forty, yet how few Xenos there are in the world, and how few can imbibe knowledge with any rapidity, when study has been neglected in the golden time of youth. I refer not so much to the specialists, who remain here but a year or two, but even in the preparatory department I notice many quite old men. Old persons should consider long before they take upon themselves the cares and responsibilities of a college course, and find out if they have the natural aptitude for study to make up for the disparity of years when they contending with younger and quicker minds.

PHI PSI PROGRESSIVE ECUCHIE PARTY.
The Phi Psi boys have given two very pleasant euchre parties, and the digression from the old dance six or seven hours' long has been very much enjoyed. The one given last Friday night was the very interesting and quite closely contested. The royal prizes were won by Miss Agnes Wright and Mr. E. C Little. Miss Liza Pettee and T. S. Fritz also made a fine score at the head table, but Fritz's Y. M. C. A. proclivities worked against them in securing the prizes. The game at the booby table was warmly contested. Prof Sterling, Thacher and Nickel being the favorites; but Henri was working with characteric German stubbornness and accordingly success crowned his efforts. Miss Jean Oliver won the ladies booie prize. The game was called at half past eleven, and for sometime after dancing was indulged in by those terpsichorally inclined. There were present John Prescott, Miss Jessie Cook; T. S. Fritz, Lizzie Pettee; W. S. Allen, Alice Pettee; Y. M. White, Gertrude Crotty; W. S. Jenka, Evelyn Smith; C. S. Crane, Jean Oliver; E. C. Little, Agnes Wright; Henri Nickel, Lou Palmer; Prof. Sterling and wife, and Messrs. W. M. Thacher, F. D. Hutchings and Palmer Kettner.
GILMORE'S BAND.—The largest and perhaps the most select audience of the season greeted the above famous band at the opera house Tuesday evening. Even, perhaps, has a Lawrence audience been granted such a musical treat as that given by the famous band of musicians under their distinguished leader, Mr. P. S. Gilmore, on this occasion. Wagner's wild and stirring "Tannhauser" was grand, followed by Lange's graceful and melodious "Pure as Snow" made a pleasing contrast. Mr. Fred Lax in his instrumental solos is a wonderful musician; B. C. Bent as a cornet soloist won many laurels; Signor Raffayolo, the euphoniumist is perhaps the most eminent artist of the forty; Mdle, Louise Pyk as a mezzo soprano is very pleaseing artist, and in her Swedish song, "Polksa," especially appluse. The crowning piece of the whole program, however, was the masterly sound painted "Trip Through Europe." Starting in New York, the story of an Occan trip and European tour was told in a most thrilling manner. It is certainly a great success. Mr. Gilmore will ever receive a warm welcome in Lawrence.
Among those present were not ticed:

A very pleasant progressive euchre party was given by Miss Lily Turner at her residence on Kentucky street a few nights since. The first prizes were hotly contested for, but were finally carried off by Miss Cora Henshaw and Mr. Jep Davis, while Messrs. Shall and Gilbert after much skillful playing were rewarded with the booby favors. The following ladies and gentlemen were present: Misses Gula Henley, Cora Henshaw, Lily Freeman, Carrie Levi, Leila Beard and Lily Turner, and Messrs. Jack Shall, Jep Davis, Abel Seve, L. A. Gilbert and Stewart.
J. H. HILL EUCHRE PARTY.
J. H. HILL ECCUBE PARTY.
Saturday evening last a happy part assembled at the beautiful residence of J. H. Hill on Louisiana street for a euchar party. About eight o'clock the game begun and continued until eleven, when refreshments were served. Among those present were, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Parke, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bullene, Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Field, Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Mackey, Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Ross, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. John Hutchings, Frank Mellnish and Miss Mary Niesley, and Miss Alice Noble, Mr. and A. D. Weaver, Mr. Mitchell and Miss Fannie McGee of Kansas City, Misses Mand Mansfield, George Gillette, Bella Love, Messrs L. N. Lewis, Herb, Bullene, Frank Weaver, Mr. Chew, and Elmer Pierson.
THE THACHER PARTY.
The many friends of Misses Mollie and Nellie Thacher were most pleasantly entertained last Thursday at their residence. Their friends were numerous enough to fill almost to overflowing the house, large as it is. The time was enjoyably spent in renewing old acquaintances and forming new ones. As was to have been expected a large number of the guests were University students and alumni, as well as many well known to the students. Among these we noticed Mr. Don Rankin and wife, Mr. Spangler and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Finney, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Moore, Prof. Brownnell and wife, Mr. Field and wife, Mr. Frank March and wife, Miss Emery, E.C. Little, Charley Gleed, Prof. Aldrich, Prof. MacDonald and others. Many of the costumes were quite elegant, those of Mrs. Field and Hill attracting special attention. At a late hour the company broke up, having passed one of the pleasant evenings which make up the bright spots of one's life.
MISS HASKELL'S MUSICALE.
Friday evening of last week a musicale was given at the home of Miss Hattie Haskell by Professors P.A. Aldrich and Wm. MacDonald. The evening was a most delightful one without, and 'tis unnecessary to say, was just as much so within. The program was a very interesting one and the execution of each piece delighted the guests, as was seen by their close attention; not a whisper could be heard by any one, much to the pleasure of the performers. No. 1, variations from Sonate in A, by Mozart, was played by Prof. MacDonald. Then followed four short songs by Prof. Aldrich and all very much enjoyed. Even after the tenth and last piece, a duet, a hearty enchore showed that the guests were only too sorry the end had been reached.
A beautiful harp of flowers, with several bright bouquets, were much admired and added fragrance to the evening.
Those present were: Prof. and Mrs. W. B. Brownell and sister, Miss Furnace; Miss Rudolph, Miss Simpson, Prof. Marvin, Prof. Wilcox, Misses Mollie and Nellie Thacher, Miss Fannie Pratt, Miss Carrie Watson, Prof. A. G. Canfield, Prof. MacDonald, Prof. Aldrich, and a few others, whose names we failed to get.
JOHNSON-KING RECEPTION
The evening of the 23d witnessed a happy scene at the home of Mrs. Collins, on Kentucky street, where, upon invitation, a large party had assembled to extend congratulations to Mr. W. C. Johnson and Miss Helene King as king, and Mrs. W. C. Johnson, who had that date arrived from the ceremony in Des Moines, Iowa, which had made them man and wife. The evening was spent in social conversation in a most pleasing manner. A happy incident was the presence of five couples of Lawrence's most popular young folks, married within the past year. These occupied positions at one table in the sumptuous repast that was served, and were the target mark for a great deal of well-aimed sparkling repartee. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson most certainly enter married life socially very auspiciously.
Among those present were W. F. March and wife, S. T. Field and wife, J. H. Hill and wife, W. H. Beauty and wife, G. A. Lewis and wife, Miss Hattie Baker of Kansas City, Mrs. H. W. Baker of Kansas City, Mrs. Geo. Noble, Miss Alice Noble, Mrs. Lucy T. Field, Miss Maggie Eidemiller, Mr. L. Boles and wife, Mr. Geo. March and wife, Miss George Gillette, Mr. A. N. Oliver, Joe Ross, Mr. F. J. Mellin, Mr. Osbun Shannon and wife, Mr. G. W. Duback, Mr. J. P. Ushler, Miss Mary Deitrick, Miss Mary Neisley, Mr. E. E. Pierson, Mr. Ed. Pierson, Mrs. Pierson.
BETA THETA PI RECEPTION.
BETA THETA PI RECEPTION.
Last Friday evening the members of Beta Theta Pi entertained their lady friends at their handsome hall in the opera house block. Buch's orchestra furnished music and dancing was indulged in under the direction of Prof. Pratt. At eleven o'clock supper was served after which dancing, card-playing and conversation continued until a late hour. The following is a list of those present: F. E. Reed and Miss Hattie Cook; T. F. Doran and Maude Thrasher; W. C. Claywood and Nannie Anderson; E. F. Stimpson and Nellie Palmer; Barlow Lippincott and Clara Poehler; J. E. Curry and Alice Cummings; Oscar H. Poehler and Marcea Howland; Harry Buckingham and Miss Chapman; Tomlin and Lucia Moore; Smith and Miss McKinnon; Henry Tremper and wife, C. D. Dean, L. D. L. Tosh and Frank McLennan of Emporia.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The Beta royally entertained a number of their friends.ast Friday evening at their ball in the opera house building. The party assembled at about half past eight, and from that time until eleven, "The hours were filled with gladness. And the cares that infest the day (Did) fold up their tents like the Arabs and silently (?) steal away. A variety of amusements, comprising music, games, and "tripping the fantastic" were indulged in.
At eleven o'clock an elegant supper was served and properly appreciated by those present. After supper the entertainment was resumed, and the party finally closed with a mysterious ceremony peculiar to the fraternity, which filled with awe the guests who were ignorant of the profound meaning of the mystery, but of which, of course, it would be improper to give a particular account.
THE UNIVERSITY COURIER
WITH this issue THE COURTHER appears in its enlarged form. With the change in size also is introduced a new feature which we hope will be received with favor by our students and the citizens of Lawrence. Lawrence has long felt the want of a society paper. A city of culture and refinement in a social way demands an organ outside of the current press for the dissemination of current society news. We hope in connection with our University work to meet this want. For the coming winter we shall be pleased to have a report of all society events from week to week. All can assist us in this. No such events shall be slighted, if any are it will be because THE COURHER has been slighted in information. To those so inclined to favor us, THE COURHER will send a representative to attend to our wants. Otherwise in reports give a general synopsis of proceedings with the names of all present.
The UNIVERSITY COURIER for this week is on our table as bright and sparkling as usual. Messrs. Sullivan and Fritz are certainly managing its affairs in a manner to suit the best interests of the University. Throughout the trouble so far with the boys who are publishing the second paper they have kept the interests of the University well in view.
They hold a copyright on the COURTER which by law would give them,upon application in the United States courts at Topeka, an immediate injunction against infringement thereon. In the interests of the university they rather suffer a little than do aught that would allow the State press any capital on aggravated trouble in the University.
- - - of all kinds always on hand.
We understand the business men of the city are sustaining them well, and rebuking the boys who are so foolishly trying to break the paper up. The COURRIER is too good a college journal to be broken up to please boyish passion. If the business men of the city will continue to rebuke them and give the company good support, the management will undoubtedly make it again for the year to come, a paper of which Lawrence and the University can be proud. —Daily Gazette.
Last Sunday evening being the anniversary of the Y. M. C. A., it was celebrated with the following program: Opening prayer by Rev. Icelan; address by Dr. P. J. Williams; report by Secretary Burr; Prayer by Rev. Osmond.
WHAT WAS SEEN AT MISS MUGLER'S MILLINERY OPENING YESTERDAY, ONE HUNDRED BONNETS NO TWO ALIKE.
Testerly attention and evening Miss Mugler's miliillary store room was crowded with ladies, who came to examine the fine goods that were on exhibition. The room was very tastefully decorated, and clearly showed that skillful hands had been at work. The effect, as one entered, was somewhat startling. At the visitor's left were cases filled with pretty things, while a pyramid of bird's wings and feathers, used in trimming, added to the effect. In the next show case were birds, fine plumes, and handsome trimmings. In the center of the room stood a circular glass case, containing worsted goods for children. They were very pretty, and were arranged in the form of an umbrella, which was suspended from the top of the case, the bottom of which was covered with handsome hoods and caps. In another show case was a full and complete stock of the materials used in fancy work, comprising all the latest novelties. But these things, generally so attractive to feminine eyes, did not seem to possess their usual interest for the ladies, as the fair visitors passed at once to the back part of the room where the bonnets were on exhibition. They could not be blamed for this, as everything in the shape of a bonnet that taste could suggest or skill make, could be seen there.
The ladies are of course the best critics, and whatever pleases them, should be accepted by the masculine portion of humanity as being correct. Among the gems which were particularly pleasing to the ladies, was a handsome velvet turban, made of "mule's ears" style of crown, with folded trimming. It is very stylish, and is said to be worn a great deal in the east.
On a table in the center of the room, was a fine display of children's and misses' hats and bonnets. A "Tam O'Shanter" cap trimmed in Scotch plaid was one of the prettiest. A quaint Normandy bonnet in blue velvet was also very pretty. Felt hats ready trimmed for misses are quite popular.
In a case at one side of the room was shown all the materials used in trimming bounces, velvets, plushes, tinsels, etc. They were handsome, but it was hard to imagine how a bonnet was to be trimmed with them. In conclusion we will say for the ladies to go and see for themselves, as the opening will continue to-day. The best indication of the size and completeness of the display is the fact that, notwithstanding the great number of bonnets shown, no two of them were trimmed alike. This gives a range of one hundred varieties, and a lady must indeed be hard to please who cannot be suited there.
The Manhattan Agricultural College has a large attendance, a good faculty, a beautiful campus, and a miserable paper. Why don't the students sit down on the Industrialist and publish a journal worth reading?

The encouragement we received the past season from the best trade for the superior quality, style and make of our Goods, convinces us that the trade requires a better class of CLOTHING than formerly.
Having that aim in mind, we have, for the Fall Trade, had our styles, make and trimmings, improved, besides introducing such novelties as no house can equal.
While it is our aim to introduce to the trade a superior class of Clothing, we also keep in mind that our prices must be such as to meet with the favor of the trade.
We shall at all times be pleased to have our Goods and Prices compared with those of our competitors.
