He helped the paper in every way and cheered the editors. Though his interest in the Cocurier is not the least abated, and though he will continue to brighten its pages with his thoughts, yet we are both to lose his official help. Last Friday the literary societies had to hold a joint session in order to have any kind of a program. This we honestly think is due to the meetings being held in the afternoon. Why can we not have night sessions? From the present outlook we are to have no lectures, and no free shows of any kind that we can take our girls to. O tempora! O mores! Give us night sessions. The COURIER company held a meeting Wednesday, and elected W. L. Kerr, President; E. A. Wheeler, Business Manager, and Joseph Rolston, Associate Editor. The presidency was resigned by E. L. Ackley because he had joined the fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta. The other vacancies were caused by the election of their incumbents to other places, E. A. Wheeler has been acting business manager for the last three weeks, it being necessary that part of W. L. Kerr's time be spent on his Ottawa Daily Local News. . Last Saturday night being Hallow-en, four extra night watchmen were sworn in, and with the regular one Supt. Parish had a solid pladanx of five on duty to guard the University. Through the long weary hours of the night, while the students were in the land of dreams, this little band of five watched and waited and watched. Gen. Parish kept his men garrisoned in the guide's room, with orders not to stir, for "We'll catch the boys you know." He cheered his braves with games, songs and jokes. Not a soul ventured near the building, and no one was within calling distance save the immortal five themselves. At three in the morning they crept silently to their homes. When the eastern sky began to redden, the day watch held Mt. Orread with peaceful thoughts, but be! and behold? Prof. Snow's skeleton had during the still hours of the night, silently crept upon the roof and committed suicide by hanging itself from the caves over the porch at the entrance. Oh, terrible spectacle! When the anatomy students saw the sight they wept tears. Every loyal student of the K. S. U. should for the next thirty days wear a badge of mourning. The halls should be draped and memorial service should be held in chapel every Friday morning in place of roll call for the rest of the term. We have received the prospectus of the North, Central and South American exposition, which opens on November 10th at New Orleans. This new company has been organized with a capital of $800,000. It has purchased the buildings and plants of the World's Exposition, and is now in possession of the same. It proposes to inaugurate even a greater and more interesting exposition than the magnificent World's Exposition. The new company starts out under the most favorable circumstances, with the buildings and accessories in hand and in order for occupancy, and paid for, the great bulk of their work is already accomplished. Many of the prominent exhibitors at the World's Exposition have left their exhibits intact. Large numbers will return with greatly increased and far more attractive exhibits, and applications for space for new exhibitors are pouring in every day. The recent election in Orophilian is a lesson to all literary societies. For some time past the Orcades have been accused of being the worst political squabblers in school. But this year the tables have been turned and the disease has spread into Orophilian. The barbs arose in a body and "downed" the frats. We sincerely hope that the day is near at hand when these elections can be carried on in a quiet manner. The whole thing can be simmered down to the desire on the part of each of the fraternities to say in their respective magazines that one brother took such an honor, and another took another. Now if the different orders would hold a so-called Pan-Hellenic convention and agree not to publish any list of honors taken in the oicalidad magazines, but let such things be communicated in the chapter correspondence, we believe the eohly contested elections would in a measure be checked. There has been considerable written on the subject of fraternities of late, but there is no need of wasting any more paper or ink, for they are here now and it will take a miracle to drive them away. Records show that in no case where anti-fraternity regulations have been adopted, have they been forced to retire, nor they have been kept away from any college they chose to enter. The way we propose above is to us seemingly the shortest way out of this matter of society elections. W. Y. Morgan, a young man who graduated from the University in June last, has been engaged as city editor of this paper. Mr. Morgan, in addition to being a graduate, is also a practical printer, and the son of an editor and practical printer, and takes to journalistic pursuits instinctively. With his assistance we hope to keep the Herald-Tribune up to its past record, and do still better. We take great pleasure in introducing Mr. Morgan to our readers—Monday's Lawrence Herald-Tribune. And the COURSE takes great pleasure in the fact that our Morgan has such good luck. But we expected something like this, for didn't C. D. Dean, our grand old business manager, step out of the COURSE into the same position, before he went on the Journal? Morgan and Dean, city editors of the two Lawrence dailies. Verily, the University is a power in the land. --talking about Rome and speculating as to whether our civilization is going to decay or not, and devote, say one session a month to the discussion of such questions as the union of Romelia and Bulgaria, the revolt in Denmark, and the like. Think and talk about this matter; students: it is worthy your attention. S. A. I. The ornamental motto is disappearing. In the good old days it was deemed quite the thing for a publisher to announce, just over his date lines, that he was "independent in all things and neutral in nothing." It was understood that something must go in there, and this was handy and familiar. We notice that the motto is going into the garret with the other old furniture, and publishers prefer to lengthen their first page columns and obtain more space for reading matter, rather than to waste the space with a threadbare announcement. — Neahoo Co., Republican. --talking about Rome and speculating as to whether our civilization is going to decay or not, and devote, say one session a month to the discussion of such questions as the union of Romelia and Bulgaria, the revolt in Denmark, and the like. Think and talk about this matter; students: it is worthy your attention. S. A. I. Why is it that Kansas does not stand among the first instead of among the last in the inter-State oratorical contest? The question is answered by the fact that her representative does not have time to half prepare an oration. Illinois has already selected her speaker. Can you not see why she generally comes out ahead? Her representative will probably go to some school of oratory and there be drilled on his piece until he has it down to perfection. At least this has been done, and it probably will be repeated. Now let us have the local contest the latter part of this month, the State contest about the first of January, and that will give our representative a good long time to do his subject justice, and thus stand a good chance to come out ahead. Let us not be contented with fourth place; let us strive for first. Officers of the Association, wake up and have an early contest. The young people of Kansas can congratulate themselves on having such a school as the University in which to complete their education, and can thank heaven that its founders had the foresight to start such an institution. Moreover, every boy and girl in the State should take advantage of the opportunity to gain knowledge through this source. We can truthfully say that it is the best college west of the "Father of Waters," and better than a majority of those east of it. It is known all over the United States, and even attracts students from neighboring states who wish to gift a good education. Some $ the wealthier inhabitants of the $ state think it best to send their children to eastern colleges, and they generally return just well fitted enough to enter the University of Kansas. All they learn there is how to wear clothes and how to spend money. Everyone should take great pride in helping build up the K. S. U., and may each year see its name grow brighter and brighter in the list of American colleges. The new president and new business manager are rustlers from way back two months ago, and will continue the good work. Students' Views. Why would it not be a good plan to introduce something into the matter of chapel rhetoricals to relieve it from its dull monotony? As it is at present everything which could arouse interest or excite enthusiasm is scrupulously excluded. The discussion of the religious or political questions of the day are forbidden, or if allowed at all, it must be strictly orthodox, and thereby stripped of all power to excite reciprocal discussion. It is too discouraging to think that the matter is to always have its present aspect. If some expression of opinion were made it is reasonable to suppose that the faculty will at least allow something of less restricted expression of individual opinion to be introduced by way of novelty. Last Friday the two literary societies met in Orophyllian hall and a joint program was rendered. And considering the exercises were mostly extemporaneous, it was exceptionally good. This is a move in the right direction. I do not want to advocate frequent joint sessions, but two or three during the year would be productive of much good. First, they create a social and friendly feeling between these rival societies which has not existed heretofore for want of a better knowledge of each other. I think I am safe in saying that at least one-third of the members of either society have never attended a meeting of the other society. The literary contests, although they are incentives to better, and give to the ambitious student opportunity to air his knowledge, give rise also to prejudices which make it impossible for a member of one society to appreciate the production of a member of the other. These joint meetings will better acquaint the members of one society with those of the other, remove the existing prejudices and hard feeling and will in no wise distract from the loyalty of a student to his own society. They break the monotony of the meetings, and excite the members to better work in their own halls, and give to each a more intelligent appreciation of his own society. R. N. A. C. M. The man who keeps well abreast of the times, even though he has little college training, is as well equipped to fight the battles of life and make himself felt as a man among men, as is the college graduate who has allowed the happenings in the world at large to pass unnoticed. What the spirit of the present demands is the man who reads the newspapers, not carelessly and mechanically, but carefully and intelligently. What the 19th century needs is the man that can talk intelligently upon the various political and financial questions that agitate the world from day to day. The college student with his lessons to get, literary societies to attend, and perchance if he be ambivalent for fame, his work to prepare for some contest which he intends to enter, gets but little time to read the newspapers and keep posted as to what is happening in the world around him 品 Why not relieve the monotony of our literary societies now and then by turning from the beaten path in which they have traveled ever since their organization, of rehearsing old declamations, dilating over and over again a few stereotyped questions about which none of us know scarcely anything, trying to drag from under the dust of ages events and notions that effect the destinies of men who have long since passed away, and devote our time once in a while to the present. In a word, why not stop It is to be regretted that too little attention is paid to the subject of Latin composition. The thorough knowledge of the grammatical construction and symmetrical arrangement of words is indispensable to the student who expects to make Latin a specialty, or ever to obtain a firm understanding of it. The time spent in reading half a dozen superfluous authors could be expended with infinitely more of profit to the students in a complete and exhaustive exposition of the principles governing the syntactical construction of words, and their proper and orderly arrangement in the sentence. The students' perception of the beauties and technical niceties of the language would be suspended. He could appreciate to a fuller extent the wonderful consciousness possible in Latin. As it is, he skims over a dozen authors and excels upon them an amount of time and study which, applied to the reading of half so many and the acquisition of a completer knowledge of Latin construction, would result in an infinitely more valuable fund of information. All this is as applicable to the matter of Greek composition and perhaps more so. But Latin has a broader and more extended scope and affects a larger number of students. M. I would like to say a few words upon that old and ever-brammered question, the annual course of lectures supposed to be provided by the faculty and delivered to the ever-grateful students. I do not desire to say aught slighting or overlooking the earnest and conscientious work done by some of the faculty. But our courses of lectures have been for the most part brilliant and conspicuous failures. No ability above mediocrity has been engaged, and the majority of the students have had a surfeit of pretentious common-places. The student cannot in reason be expected to climb the historic hill to hear what he has heard a hundred times from school house orators and canoeists. To this class of lecture there have been many exceptions, but it is true in the main. But any lecture is better than none. Is it about time the faculty were bestirling themselves and inaugurating a lecture course for the year. It is just as easy to raise the intellectual and literary standard of the matter presented to the student as it is to dispel the same eternal rehash of rhetoric which the student is expected to feed upon and say grace in the bargain. M. I think that every student of the University of Kansas is to be recruitged upon the quiet and gentle manly manner in which the annual pandemonium passed off. Herefore the student has been made the scapegoat of every wild prank and act of practical vandalism, and was too much foundation in fact. But this year there was a noticeable absence of all those malicious acts mischief which find their higher pleasure in the unscrupulous and its discriminate destruction of property. It was something unusual as to quite refreshing. Let us continue to sustain the reputation we have begun and show the patrons and friends of the University that their patroness and friendship is not wasted upon crowd of respectable loafers or get-tell vandals. M Among the niversity is a situation room. The troubling himself about the stuills. Where talk?

Among the many needs of the University is a students' parlor or reception room. The chancellor has been troubling himself a great deal of late about the students standing in the halls. Where else can they go to talk? Those who have a vacant hour, and who do not wish to study, do not care to go to the library and sit around the tables like blocks of wood; and those who have sometimes been requested to go there always keep the librarian busy trying to keep them quiet. We are not arguing for a loading place, but simply for a large room where students can occupy a vacant hour and be allowed to talk. Another argument in favor of it is in regard to the alumni. Old students who come back to visit their alums matter, find only a few times between recitations, and a very few in which to talk to old friends unless they occupy the corridors or the library. A reception room would solve the whole question and remove one of the chancellor's heaviest labors of requesting persons to vacate the halls if they want to talk. We sincerely hope that when Prof. Snow vacates his rooms and moves into the new building, one of his rooms will be fitted up for this very purpose. It will undoubtedly solve the problem of keeping students out of the corridors during hours of recreation, when they do not wish to study. It will be a place where students can receive friends. - - - question was debated by both societies: *Reewoolk*, That as Wealth Increases, the Morals of the People are Diminished. Gilmore, Crane, Steblin and Dunn made good speeches for the affirmative. White, Doran, Reed and Blair did justice to Orophilian on the negative. A vote of thanks was extended to the Oracles for their excellent conduct. The pharmacy department has been a fortunate recipient of a valuable collection of materia medica specimens from the well known manufacturing house of Parker, Davis & Co., f Detroit, Mich. The drugs represented are from all parts of our own foreign countries, consisting of oats, rhizomes, barks, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, exudations, etc. We understand another invoice is to be received from the same house in the near future, which will make a most complete list, and for the pharmaceutical and medical student, a most valuable one. Prof. Sayre has about completed his lectures upon the original roots, and has students of the Senior class at work making microscopic examinations of them. Carl Wyler is busily engaged in making sections and revealing the internal structure of the fabric, and testing the power of the instrument to detect adulterations. The hearts of the COURER editors' best joyfully as they helped to eat the groun food dinner given to the fifty-five boys at the Hillside Dining Club, by our honored citizen, B. W. Woodward. The boys return thanks. The students know that Mr. Woodward is a lover of art, but the boys know that he is a good judge of oysters. The Freshman class met in Prof. Miller's room at the close of the fourth hour on Friday last, to organize. L. A. Stebbins was made temporary chairman and Miss Cook secretary.

To say that a good time was enjoyed by all is but mild praise. Dancing, singing, fortune telling and cards passed the early part of the evening, then the announcement that the taffy was ready caused long aprons to come forth, and employed the meryew cove in pulling the toothsome sweet to snowy whiteness. At last the taffy was all eaten, pop corn had followed suit, apples and other refreshments had vanished, and dancing was resumed and continued till the clock announced the approach of Sunday. No one who was there will ever forget the evening of unalloyed pleasure, and in after years ye reporter will assert, all will echo the strain: "Of all the wisdom lasses that does fancy reveal, the Kappa Alpha Theta are the fairest of --the closest buyers get their groceries of J.

A CHALLENGE—We, the Pharmacy Class, hereby challenge any class in the University for a game of baseball, to be played within five days from date, November 6, 1885. The Faculty and Seniors will play a match game of ball next Friday afternoon at the ball grounds. Turn out, everybody, and witness this performance! A rare treat is expected. PHARMACY CLASS At a recent social gathering a prominent University student claims to have seen a remarkable little coincidence while some one turned the lights down for a few moments. How is this, Cyrus? Among great Americans who have expended their youthful talents in editing college papers, are the poets, Holmes and Willis, the statesmen, Everett and Evarts, the eloquent divine, Philip Brooks, and the pleasing author, Donald J. Mitchell. MANSFIELD,—Miss Maud Mansfield, at her beautiful home on the evening of the 30th, very pleasantly entertained a small party of her friends. Cards, music and social games under the charming direction of the hostess, made the evening pass with "speed of winged air." Among those present were Rob Osmond and Bella Love, Rob Rankin and Alice Noble, L. N. Lewis and Georgie Gillette. The joint debate which was to have been given by Crane, Smith and Horton, of the Oreads, and Dora, Marshall and W. T. Reed, of the Orophilians, has been changed into an oratorical contest. The time is not yet appointed for it. The Freshman class had their first meeting last Friday. L. A. Stebbs was made temporary chairman, Miss Josie Cooke, secretary pro tem.

At the invitation of the Orophilianis the Oreords went over to Orophillan hall last Friday, and the two societies held a joint meeting. Miss Eva Hoadley began the program by a well-delivered declaration, which was followed by an interesting essay by L. A. Stebbins. Miss Josie Cooke then gave a declaration, which was especially well rendered, and elicited loud applause. F. A. Marshall next delivered a nicely written oration in a pleasing style. After recess an extemporaneous debate upon the question, *Resolved*, That great increase in the wealth of a country is followed by lowering of the morality of its citizens, was participated in on the affirmative by Gilmore, Crane and Reed; on the negative, by Doran, Stebbins and Dunn. After agreeing upon another joint meeting in the near future, the societies adjourned Communications and exchanges to The Courier will address merely The Courier, "Lock boxes," etc., are superfluous. Beecher is to lecture to the students of the University of Illinois on "The Reign of the Common People." COLLEGE NOTES. The university buildings at Cham passign, Illinois, are lit by electricity. Vassar alumna are trying to raise $20,000 for a new gymnasium. The faculty of the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute furnishes the college paper with an editorial room. The University of Pennsylvania has a department of veterinary surgery. Cornell boasts of a mummy 3,000 years old. Vassar girls are said to be so modest that they will not work on improper fractions. -Syracuse. An inter-collegiate base-ball association has been formed between Cornell, Rochester, Hobart, Hamilton, Union and Syracuse. Yale supports four papers-one daily, two bi-weeklies and one monthly. Ten of the most advanced courses at Harvard have but one man in each. There were 250 applicants for admission to the Freshman class of Columbia College at the entrance examinations last Tuesday. The Freshmen at Cornell have declared against cane rushes, and have proposed a tug-of-war as substitute. G. W. Bain will lecture at Baldwin soon. Communications and exchanges to THE COURRIER will address merely The Courier, "Lock boxes," etc., are superfluous. Prof. J. H. Canfield, of the State University, was in the city over night, on business for the University and for the State Teachers' Association. He reports the University's prospects for the year as excellent: The last legislature cut off the Normal Department, and the regents reduced the Preparatory Department to a single year, but the numbers in attendance are almost as good as last year, while the standard is higher. The new men, Dr. Willex in Greek, and Dr. Sayre in Pharmacy, have made a fine impression and are evident acquisitions to the corps of specialists which the State is now creating at Lawrence. The new building, which the regents have wisely called "Snow Hall of Natural Science," is being pushed rapidly, and will be ready for the roof before winter closes in. Prof. Canfield left this morning for Holton, where he lectures this evening in behalf of the High School Library fund.—Leavenworth Standard. In reply to a query about the State Teachers' Association, Prof. Canfield stated that everything possible was being done to make it the largest and best meeting ever held in the State. The executive committee think the attendance will number nearly a thousand. The enthusiasm in the State is rising, and if special rates can be secured on the railroads, the number may even exceed that. The work has been divided into five sections and over sixty papers will be read and discussed—covering the entire educational field. The Friends in Council meet at Mrs. Professor Nichols', where they will continue to meet weekly for one month. They held a very interesting meeting last Tuesday. Fritz talks in his sleep.

If the night watchman had hard work trotting out the skeleton? What the boys did to distinguish themselves Hallow'en? Why the faculty failed to materialize last Saturday? Who will be the independent barb since Ackley has left the fold? Why it isn't a good idea to have a joint meeting about once a month. Who wants to "arbiter," and why? Why Olin Templein has donned the blue ribbon? If the "Whangdoodle" still mourneth? If the "howls" for social gaiety haven't been successful? Why the Seniors are so slow about getting their hats? Why those two girls have done likewise? Why the faculty doesn't come to the front with its lecture course. Why the Courier editors are so popular with the girls this week. OUR SOCIETY DEPARTMENT — AND WHAT THE CITY PRESS SAYS. DAILY GAZETTE—The University Courier for this week is on our table, greatly enlarged, being now a six-column folio size. General Sullivan has taken a good step in the introduction of a new department of Society News, which he announces will be a permanent feature of the paper. He begins this week with artistically written reports of ten social parties in this city during the past week, with all the social gossip extant. Lawrence has long wanted a fashionable social paper, and he seems intent upon filling the want. The paper before us is a fine one. The society folks of the city will welcome it. We predict for it in its new venture a grand success. DAILY JOURNAL—The issue of this week's Courier appears from the JOURNAL job rooms this morning greatly enlarged in size. In this issue it announces its intention of furnishing in connection with its University work, a "Society Paper" for the city. As a beginning, this issue contains the social gossip of the city for the week past, very complete. Nearly a dozen social gatherings appear in detail, with the names of all present. There has long been an opening in the city for a paper of this kind, and Sullivan, without introducing an extra paper in Lawrence journalism, has now opportunely taken advantage of it. The paper cannot but be very popular with young and old interested in society matters, and will undoubtedly be a grand success. Business men seem to have already very generously taken advantage of it as an advertising medium, for which, from the large circulation it will gain at once among the ladies over the city, it will be very valuable. Editorially it asks for reports of all social parties, ect. All such can be addressed to the Courier. HERALD- TRIBUNE — Sullivan's Weekly University Courier made its appearance to-day, enlarged to a six-column folio. It has added a Society Department to its many other attractions. We hope the proprietors of the paper will find its publication a profitable business and a pleasant field of labor. PERSONAL. Snider has the heart disease. E. L. Ackley is the latest Phi Gam.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL COMPANY. FRANK P. MCLENNAN this week assumed the management of the Topeka Daily Journal, converting it into a Republican organ. The Journal is now in hands which will make it boom. HON. MILTON W. REYNOLDS delivers his famous lecture on Aaron Burr, at the Holton Normal, tomorrow night. Monday night he will favor them on "The Mule." He has received invitations from all over Kansas and Missouri. "The Mule," under his treatment, is a wonderful animal. --in tooking over the students I notice here and there one who thinks his sole duty is to prepare the lessons daily assigned to him. He never seems to imagine that he has, or will have at some time, social duties to perform as well as to acquire knowledge. This misguided individual often shirks the literary societies that he may have more time for his books. It has always seemed to me that such persons as this one never know what they come to college for. They act as if they came here to be stuffed with a certain amount of knowledge for four years, and then to go away. Students do not attend the University merely to get a stated amount of learning and take a degree, but they are here to broaden their minds, and to prepare themselves for the great battle of life. They should learn of human nature not only from books, but also by actual intercourse. Every student should devote some time to literary society work, and to social affairs. Not so much, of course, as to detract from his studies, but with moderation and proper management sufficient time can be found for all these duties. I would like to see the book-worms come out a little more, and get more practical experience out of their college careers. If they will do this they will find more pleasure in college life, and, thus being accustomed to the buffets received in their dealings with their school-fellows, they will be better prepared to withstand the storms of life out in the world. --in tooking over the students I notice here and there one who thinks his sole duty is to prepare the lessons daily assigned to him.

We are as much surprised as pleased at the testimonials of popularity our new department of Society News received last week. Ladies especially can assist us in making this department a success, and we are thankful for the contributions of social news we have received this week. HON. SIDNEY CLARKE recently wrote a review of Prof. Spring's History of Kansas for the Gazette, which is receiving very favorable comment in the State Press. Few men in the State had better opportunities for knowing the intricacies of early Kansan history than Mr. Clarke, and his compliments on Prof. Spring's work are flattering to the author. THERE is one thing we are now greatly in need of and that is a good Debating Club. To be sure we have two literary societies, but a visit to either of them will convince anyone of their efficiency in giving an opportunity for extemporaneous speaking and ready debating. A few select readings that have time and again been heard in the "lyceum" of nearly every district school in the State; declamations which may be good enough in their way; a hashed essay from last year's English class; and finally, if there is no election or other "important business" on hand, a debate—these make up the usual routine of the Friday afternoon session. There is really nothing at all that would aid the lawyer in the practice of his profession. Ready speech and brilliant diction are of the greatest importance to any public man, and seldom fail to carry with them strength and influence. We deed a society that will help us to attain these acquirements. The organization of a club with a limited membership, and just enough exclusiveness to make it an object to belong, would be a move in the right direction, and surely meet with success. Now while that military fellow is going wild over the militia scheme, and this one is interested in base ball, and yonder particularly verdant individual is raising a sympathetic appeal for a green house, let the friends of a debating club get together and affect an organization. Before our next issue the Courier hopes to see something done. THE COUERI would be pleased to see the city begin work on the grading of Robinson Avenue. THE lecture on Aaron Burr, by Hon. M. W. Reynolds, is meeting with most favorable criticism from the State press. It is really too bad the students of K. S. U. have not had an opportunity of hearing it. + + + Every year a class of young men and women leave the University, where they have been laying the foundation for high literary attainments, but while we are cultivating our minds would it not be well at the same time to pay some attention to the little courtesies and kind acts which are frequently the basis on which the world will form a favorable or an unfavorable opinion of one. Engaging and polished manners will do much for any one. Even the learned and talented can not succeed in this life unless he has good manners, who "a man's worth is estimated in this world according to his conduct." Though most of our students are from small towns or farms, where their social advantages are few, yet they are sensible and intelligent young people, and could, with a little thought and care, soon cultivate a gentle and agreeable manner. All that is required for good breeding is good sense, good nature and a little self-denial. After these qualities have been cultivated they will become second nature, and will no longer need care or thought on our own part, but will inspire others to treat us in a like kindly way. So we are the gainers after all. As has been very aptly said, "a man's own good breeding is the best security against other people's ill manners." It sometimes happens, that students in the University do not avail themselves of the opportunities presented. This is especially true in the case of the library. The best library in the State belongs to the University. Although there is not so large a collection as in the older colleges, yet there are books treating on all branches of study taught in the University. No student need be without books pertaining to the subject he is pursuing. The number of students who make use of the books in the library, is far too small. Only a little over fifty per cent, of the students in attendance have taken books from the library this session, which is almost half gone. And when we say that half of the students have taken books, they have done this to a very limited extent. Most students know very little of the library. As a rule, those students know most about it who are required to pass examination on collateral reading. There is no doubt but that the required studies has time for reading. Every student has leisure. That the leisure time may be profitably spent reading some book is beyond question. The custom of upgrades through the whole course, deprives the student of outside reading, which is essential to a liberal education. Class work alone cannot fit a graduate for the duties of life, when he is in contact with the rank and file of citizens. Work for the classroom should be done well, and the student of ordinary ability can have ample time for self improvement. When there is a library of seven or eight thousand volumes, well selected, there is apparently no excuse for students not having a fair acquaintance with the best authors. As it is, many do not appreciate the value of real benefits. When the State gives an inducement for learning and culture, that inducement should be valued by those who have an opportunity. It can be safely stated that only about one student in three makes any use worth naming of the choice collection of books in the library. This is something not to be overlooked in University work. Prof. Carruth says that the lecture course will soon be all right. Autumn Musings. In years gone by the advantages of the average student to develop his social qualities were much greater than now. We used to have our dancing clubs which not once a week, and after those were discontinued we had the Gradatim, with its pleasant semi-monthly hops. But now we have not one dancing club, and unless a student happens to belong to some fraternity, he has scarcely any opportunities to attend dances and parties. I don't think this is right, for in my mind a student should be brought out socially as well as intellectually while attending the University. The outsiders should make a break for themselves, and not depend on the fraternities for anything, because those organizations work only for their own interests and not for those of any one else. The secret-society men did at one time support the students' dancing clubs, but they become more clannish every year, and confine themselves in social affairs to their own balls, allowing outsiders no show at all. I think that the barbs ought to get up some social organization for themselves, and thus they could add greatly to the their pleasure while at the University. There is one thing about college life here which has often seemed to me unjust, yet after all it is but the way of the world. What I mean is this, that when a bashful new student enters the University, he is constantly hold back by his own diffidence and the forwardness of others. The old students rush forward and crowd back the new ones in a most uncharitable way, but more. I think, in thoughtlessness than intentionally. Of course our new students, coming as they do from the country and From villages far from a city of any size, are more or less green or uncultivated in their manners, but the old students have all "been there" themselves, and they should have more consideration for their successors. The new students, too, should not be too bashful, but should push themselves forward, and they will soon become acquainted and feel at home. The opportunity for social improvement is one of the greatest advantages offered here to the majority of students, and they should not be slow to improve it. VIEWS. I am glad to see one class in the University show some spirit, and make a break for itself. I desire to congratulate the seniors on their enterprise in getting plug hats. Our students are so conservative, or rather fogy about taking up college customs which have not been introduced here before, that this departure is quite relieving. Class spirit, more of which we greatly need, will be encouraged by this custom, and the students will be able to be distinguished from the "townies." I hope that the other classes will follow up this plan, for such things add variety and pleasure to college life without causing any harm. TONY. The prime object of the student in attending a University is, that by gaining the advantage of the principles of truth and enlightenment which are there afforded, that his mental and moral nature may be broadened, and he may withdraw from the institution better fitted for battling with the adverse elements of the world. Notwithstanding this may be the primitive object, he should not forget that man has a two-fold nature, and in order that he may form a solid foundation on which to build a life of usefulness and prosperity, both must receive their due allowance of training. Many students seem to feel it their duty, on entering college, to refrain from taking part in any of the branches of University work, except those which relate directly to the book knowledge. A knowledge of the list book is all well enough, and should receive a large proportion of the student's attention, but by carefully observing those who devote all their time to this end, we will find there is something of life and vivacity, common to the other student, which is hacking in them. The victim loses an important part of the training intended to be afforded by the State in the establishment of a University of learning for the coeducation of the youths of Kansas. This is not right. Every student should feel it his or her duty to lend a helping hand to the promotion of the social and literary systems, and the maintenance of such principles as will elevate the mass of the students. Every one should make it a point not to take so many studies that he would not be able to devote a reasonable time to general reading and work in our literary societies, as well as to gain rest and recreation by associating with his fellow students. Let us have more sociability among all classes, and thus foster a feeling which should ever pervade the mind of the student who goes out into the world, that he may not only feel benefitted in his acquirement of knowledge, but also associate the ideas of enjoyment mingled with University duties. * ** COLLEGE JOURNALISM. The character of our college papers might be much improved by a candid consideration of "what a college paper should be." Certainly it is not the organ of some "imperious demagogue" through which he may abuse and malign his companions, neither should it be the organ of any clique or faction, through which its members may receive personal advertisements and falsum flattery. No, a college journal should be something grander than that. It ought to be the unbiased and unprejudiced chronicler of interesting events just as they transpired, the recorder of items of news, personal opinions, and sound sensible sentiments. And even more, it is the champion of the cause of education, the guardian and defender of the cherished college, and the journal of literature and science of its school. He who is entrusted with the control of such an instrument should feel a deep responsibility resting upon his efforts. He should realize that a word of discouragement from him may dismay some struggling and worthy spirit, and hurl it into the depths of despondency; that almost unconsciously he may let fall a word which will arouse enmity and malice in the bosom of some innocent individual. College students, as a rule, are the most ambitious and aspiring youths of our land. And in the struggle for a liberal education, earnest and arduous, how slight an affront or how trifling a discouragement, thrown out by a careless "personal," may dishearten an overburdened mind, we do not know. Then let our college journalists deal more carefully and cautiously in personal items. Let them not degrade our "University Messengers" to the plane of the organ which the ward politicians employ. Be careful about running to extremes. You are young journalists. Do not become infatuated with the idea that you must reform this age all at once. Do not advocate a pipe organ, a green house, a gymnasium, a military company, and a dozen other secondary enterprises, until you ascertain whether there is not something else of which we stand more in need. Think of our library, our limited supply of apparatus and many other conveniences of which we stand sadly in need. Do not sit down and write your first thoughts. Reflect. Think Ed. VIEWS:—Our politics in the University have become so rank, that as the King in Hamlet says, "they smell to Heaven." Let us look at it even in a selfish way. It is not the kind of character that a young man wants to establish for himself. By working in this line he will accustom his conscience to that mode of carrying out his plans, in just that period in which he in developing his character for life, in just that period in which, when habits are formed and tastes developed, one very seldom parts from them. This is worth considering. All these evils can be remedied, and so easily remedied that the wonder is that it has not been done before. When it comes to such an extremity, that two of our most honorable young men, belonging to our most dignified and orderly society, get so irritated over an appointment to a petty position that no one outside of our University will ever hear of, that the one cannot find words in Webster strong enough to express his emotions, and the other finds that Roberts' Rules of Order are not elastic enough to give vent to his impulses; when officers of our college papers will issue bogus stock to whosoever will vote for them, committing an act, that had the paper gone through the mere formalization of getting a charter, would have been a crime; when one clique can, by merely purchasing and issuing stock to another clique, buy their everlasting support, for no matter what accepts up, and when said clique must be accepted, and allow themselves to be used in this way, not even seeming to have thought of the idea of its being dishonorable, while in such a position, that were they in actual politics, in many instances, they would be disfranchised; when broken promises are considered, not an impropriety but merely a necessary means to accomplish a given end; when all these dishonorable things, and many more, that every studest is cognizant of, are enacted in our petty politics, it is surely time, and very far past time, that a halt should be called by those interested in the welfare and good name of our University. We all know that the shyster in American politics is of all men the most to be dreaded—the one of all others this country has to fear most. We will also see, if we only stop to think, that this is just exactly the man that our present system of politics is developing. Begin with our newspapers. Carry out the same plan with them that is in use by the Oratorical Association. Put them on a basis of merit. Does any one suppose that our association would be stronger if the orators were selected from a basis of dollars and cents, as our editors are, instead of from a basis of merit. No one can say the merit system does not work. It does work with us, and it is working with great success in all branches of many Eastern colleges, where shystering has become nauseating. The time that is now spent in pledging votes and scheming, would then be spent in the study of journalism. The barbarians that howl "combination," "frats," etc., could no longer howl. The frat man, who says "there is no one outside of my frat," would surely be contented. The business manager would no longer be on needles on account of the jealousies of rival frats, and would have much better matter for his paper. But most of all, the good name of our University would no longer be tarnished by the sulphurous vapors arising from our political arena. --- TO CORRECT wrong impressions about getting a military company at K. S. U., we wish to say to the students that the State militia of Kansas is full, and that it will be impossible to get a company here. Applications from other places in Kansas have already been refused, so there is no chance at all for the students to get arms and equipments from the government. TO THE BUSINESS MEN OF LAW BENCH. As the committee chosen by the COURRIER company to look after the interests of the company's publication, as being infringed upon by the second sheet, which has appeared as the COURRIER for a few weeks past, as the COURRIER's generous patrons and thereby interested parties, we address you. As is known to you, the trouble which we hope is about ended, arose from a small body of stockholders bolting from the company and beginning the publication of a paper. To sustain the expenses thereof they raised about $90 among themselves, upon which alone they have so far subsisted. They are now out of money and we hope will soon subside. We have not deemed it advisable, for reasons in which you as friends of the University can sympathize with us, to go to the extreme of enforcing our privilege in the matter contained in the copyright in our possession. We do not anticipate any such an extreme measure becoming necessary, yet will still hold the privilege as a matter only of expediency as to its use. We are given to understand an attempt was made yesterday, with two or three of the COURRIER's advertisers, whose advertisements they had copied from the COURIER, to collect upon them as the COURIER company. From our business managers we learn the greater portion of the COURIER's advertisers have made payments for the month closed. The COURIER company will protect all from double payments. All of our patrons so annoyed will please collectors to the managers of the COURIER, with whom, backed by a joint stock company, all such contracts were made and upon whom responsibility rests.

One of the nearest and most tastily arranged business houses on Massachusetts street is the attractive drug store of C. W. Strafton's, as newly fitted up, in the House block, South Massachusetts street. Lawrence Journal. A stock of drugs is peculiarly fitted for arranging for an effect pleasing to the eye, and most assuredly has Mr. Staffon in his new stock secured this result. With one of the neatest glass fronts in the city, he has a room ninety feet deep, of which he uses seventy feet as a display room. The ceiling of this is of a delicate pink color. The walls are of a cream color with a very artistic border. Entering the room from the street between two counters covered with cases, the customer has an opportunity of viewing a full stock of drugs in detail. On the right is the hand-satchel and brush case, from which the customer can secure a pocket-book or satchel for from 25 cents to $5; clothes, hair or bathbrushes from 25 cents upward. On this side, on shelves, is a very complete line of patent medicines. In the perfume case is to be found all the most refined domestic and imported perfumes, hair oil and pomades on the market. The Palmer, Eastman, Wright and Lundborg's handkerchief extracts are well represented. Graham, Colgate and Eastman's fancy soaps, Tetlow's "Swandown" and "Gossamer" for the complexlon; Graham's hair oils and dyes. On the south side the shelving is filled with magnacite drugs. A case of shoulder-braces and surgical in struments is one of the most complete in the city. A soda fountain occupies first place on the counter. A case of the finest domestic and imported cigars. The "H. J. B," and the celebrated "Moss Back," now on hand. A case of fine cutlery, one of toilet articles, hand glasses of all kinds, combs, tooth-brushes, shaving-mugs, brushes, etc., very complete. Approaching it from the outside, a tastily varnished front surmounted at the top by a very large sign "Drugs," on canvas. Lower down is "C. W. Straffon," while over the door in gilt is "Straffon's Pharmacy." The window is filled with globes of colored liquids of beautiful colors. On the whole, a visit merely for sight-seeing, would be found very profitable in such a well arranged and complete store. --- --- Abel Lee ment of 21 Field & line of art Centerve See G winter mil 1,000 lb shirts made The last be found Mesda the later A.

MARKS. — The party at Miss Carrie Marks last Friday night was a very enjoyable affair. Cards and dancing occupied the greater part of the evening, followed by a bountiful supper, and the guests departed at a late hour feeling well pleased with the evening's entertainment. The following is a list of the guests present: Dick Horton, Mamie Lyons; Ed. Blair, Laura Lyons; Harry Smith, Sibille; Roberts; Charlie Lyons, Clara Coeff; Frank Crowell, Mamie Tisdale; Marcella Howland, Ettad Heady. MISS DUNN'S HALLOW'EEN PARTY. —Miss Lulu Dunn's party was small as regards numbers, but none the less enjoyable on that account. Shortly after the arrival of the guests a repast was spread, which disappeared as if some supernatural agency were at work. After supper traditional Halloween sports were indulged in and merriment ran high. It would be superfluous to tell all the tricks and anties that were performed, but suffice it to say that the fairies, browners and demons lent their assistance and kept up their reputation for general devilty. Everything went merribly on until the approaching morn gave wings to these mystic beings and put an end to the weird fantasies of the night. Those present were Misses Nellie and Mollie Thatcher, Mamie Simpson, Hattie Titus, Jo and Hattle Cook, Alice Noble, Cora Pierson, Agnes Wright, Hattie Dunn, Nellie Furness; Messrs. Elmer Pierson, Chew, Glimor, Postlewaite, Will Spencer, Crane, J. I. Dunn, Denton Dunn and Profs. MacDonald and A. G. Canfield. Woodward. — Saturday evening Miss Ruth Woodard very hospitably entertained a number of her friends at her home on Connecticut street. Music, cards and social games generally were the order of the evening. A generous repost was served at about eleven o'clock Those present were Harry Harbaugh and Ella Smith; Joseph Bain and Miss Leyden; Tip Babcock and Carrie Harbaugh; Harvey McIntire and Ella Leonard; Frank Simmons and Lida Reynolds; John Ingalls and Miss Reynolds; Bert. Baldwin, Harry Gilman, A. W. Carnean and Geo. Shane. KAPPA ALPHA THETA—Hallowen 'een was clear, bright and pleasant, the gods were propions; the omens had been correctly interpreted, and the spirit of the "old Nick" himself seemed to be uppermost in everyone. At a vacant house of Kentucky street, opposite the Catholic church, the Kappa Alpha Theta's and a few gentlemen friends held high carnival. There were no carpets to ruin; neither was there elegant furniture to demolish, and of these facts the gay and festive young folks took great advantage. The object of such a meeting was a candy-pull, and through the kindness and watchfulness of Mrs Crane and Mrs. Stimpson the candy was delicious before it was pulled but after that, little can be said in its praise. Never did taffy get more vigorous pulling than then and there. Each girl went provided with two big aprons and a tin pan large enough for "taffy for two." In other words, "one dish and two spoons." Other amusements were also indulged in, as dancing, card-playing, games and general conversation, where all talked at once. As is the custom with K.S. U. student's the party disbanded early, the house being left alone and dark by twelve o'clock. Everyone had a grand and glorious time. All were glad that Hallowen comes at least once a year. There were present Misses Kate Wilder, Luella Moore, Maud Thrasher, May Webster, Angie Logee, Ella and Emma Bartell, Alice and Lizzie Petee, Stella Chapman, Mary Stimpson, Maggie Eidemiller, Hattie Haller; Messrs. H. E. Riggs, Jack Schall, Barlow Lippicauch, Harry Smith. W. S. Allen, T. S. Fritz, Rob Rankin, E. L. Sweope, Edwin Stimpson, Frank Reed, Wat Tomlin, J. E. Griffith, F. G. Crowell. MURKY-Lewis.—One of the largest and most pleasant evening tea parties ever given in the city was that of Mesdames Murray and Lewis at the Eldridge House the 29th inst. Nearly forty ladies were present filling the spacious parlor of the Eldridge. No gentlemen were allowed and we are compelled to take the word of the ladies for the fact that it was "the most charming time they have had this season." We understand they have now in contemplation a number of "no gentleman" parties for the season. This would be cruel and the "gentleman folk" are already protesting loudly. Those present were Medamesa White, Dr. Anderson, Gore, Munger of Connecticut, J. E. Parke, Collins, J. H. Hill, Hill of New York, Geo Innes, Haight, Harry Cole, Clark, Jno Ross, Dan Hynds, Dan Innes, G. A. Lewis, J. T. Warne, S. T. Field, Field, Frank Webster, S. B. Hynes, B. A. Amber, Simpson, Geo. Toothaker, R. K. Tabor, Tabor, Prentis, Brown, of Denver, Neil Geo. A. Banks, Herb. Beatty, Justus Howell, Misses Mabel Gore, Gertrude Raymond. COLLINS.—Mrs. Collins, at her home on Kentucky street the evening of the 2nd, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Johnson gave a very nice reception to a large circle of select friends. Evening was spent in social conversation very pleasantly. Among those present were Mr and Mrs. Caldwell, Dr. and Mrs. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Geo March, Mrs. Dr. Yeaagley, Mr. and Mrs. Shannon, Mrs. Delong, Mr. and Mrs. Mort Hadley, Mr. and Mrs. Henley, Mr. and Mrs. Geo Banks, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Innes, Mr. and Mrs. Mansfield, Mr. and Mrs. McCoy, Dr. and Mrs. Lippincott, Prof. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Evelin, Mr. and Mrs. McCarrol, Mr. and Mrs. Borgholthaus, T. D. Griffith and wife, Col. and Mrs. Miles, Paul Brooks and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Grovenor, Prof. Bailey and wife, J. M. Turner and wife. LAWRENCE ART LEAGUE. — The regular monthly meeting occurred Monday evening last. A fair attendance was noticed. The evening's exercise was introduced by F. O. Marvin; the consideration of some Ruskin's statements as to what constituted a perfect picture. Debate was taken part in by Mrs. P. R. Brooks, Mrs. A. L. Diggs, Mrs. H. L. Schaum, and Messrs. B. W. Woodward, H. L. Schaum and J. T. Moore. The questions under consideration occupied nearly two hours' time, and when everybody's opinion had been ventured, it was found that there was no time remaining for routine exercises. It was agreed upon that the Third Semi-Annual Exhibition should occur Nov. 17th to 20th. In order to make proper arrangements for the exhibit, a special meeting was called for Monday, November 9th, at the League rooms. Everybody identified with the organization is requested to be present without fail. The coming exhibition will consist of original and studio work only. Last November's exhibit was a surprise in the way of excellence, and no doubt the one to come will show undoubted progress in art. We think if the Art League adopts a motto it should be "The Chrome We have at last received those etchings and engravings for which we have so long been waiting, and we would like to show them to you if you can drop in at any time. We think that you will agree with us after you have seen them, that this line is the largest and most valuable ever brought to Lawrence. We have invested quite a good deal of money in this stock of pictures, and all we want now is a little encouragement from you so that we may feel justified in keeping the line up to the standard. An interesting event took place at the residence of Mr. David Evans, on New York street, last evening, it being the occasion of the marriage of Miss Agnes Evans to Mr. Oscar L. Chamness, of Kansas City. The words that made them husband and wife were pronounced by Rev. A. H. Stote. Only a very few friends outside of the family were present. Mr. and Mrs. Chamness will make their home in Kansas City. TO THE ART-LOVERS OF LAWRENCE Very respectfully, S. T. FIELD & Co. WHITE.--Miss Emma White gave a very pleasant tea party to a few of her young lady friends last Thursday evening. The guests arrived about six, and after an hour of pleasant social intercourse, tea was served. This was succeeded by a couple hours' more spent as the fair sex usually put in their time upon such occasions. As the guests departed they were fully convinced that for an evening of genuine pleasure, a tea party could not be excelled. The following were the persons present: Laura Lyons, Franc Hunt, Clara Coffin, Alice Penfield, Mamie Lyons, Daisy Cockins and Miss Barker, of Leavenworth. UARD PARTY — MISS AGNES CLARKE, '84. On Wednesday evening Miss Agnes Clarke, who has recently returned from an extended trip to Old Mexico, where she has been pursuing the study of the Spanish language, entertained a number of her friends at her pleasant home on Rhode Island street. The guests arrived about eight o'clock, and were soon busily engaged. The game lasted about two hours, when an elegant lunch was served. Music, conversation and a general good time followed, and the guests about.twelve bad their hostess adieu and weaded their way homeward, after borrowing all the wraps, over-shoes, umbrellas and the like that could be found on the premises, as during the evening a severe rain storm commenced. The following ladies and gentlemen were present: Messrs. W. C. Spangler, '83, F. D. Hutchins, '83, Glen Miller, '84, E. C. Little, '88, Solon Williams, '80, and Lotis Nevison; Mrs. W. C. Spangler, '83, and Misses Mable Wemple, Bella Love, Agnes Emery, '84, Manie Woodward, '81, Mamie Gardner and Clara Johnson.

Griffith and L. A. Gilbert. NOBLE. — Wednesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Col. Noble very pleasantly entertained select friends at their pleasant home. Social conversation, cards and music made the evening pass very happily. An elegant repast was spread about 11 o'clock. Those present were: Frank Wear and Mary Neisley, Mr. and Mrs. W. C.

McLaren has taken such pains to advertise among our fellow students that the opposition to the COURHER had proposed to "arbitrate," and therefore deserved a "little sympathy," etc., we deem it proper as a matter of news, to give our answer to the impudent, brazen-faced proposition, publicity: "ARBITRATION." Mr. J. J. D. McLaren, et al.-Regarding your communication of recent date, we have to say there can be no dispute as to the legal officers of the Coroner Company. As to your desire to "arbitrate," we will say the government of the United States has "arbitrated," and granted us a copyright on the Courier, and daily gives us the mail addressed to the Courier, notwithstanding a somewhat peculiar affidavit. We do not recognize that The present officers of the Company were elected by a meeting representing fifty-four (54) shares of stock, and in which you, Mr. McLaren, took an active part, and Mr. Oakley acted as secretary, calling the roll, and acting as such until you saw your small faction could not control the meeting. LAWRENCE, KAS., Nov. 2, '85. you and a few persons dissatisfied because you could not control the company, have gained any rights that can be arbitrated by your to-be-deprecated course in attempting to ruin the COUNTER by issuing a sheet in its imitation. On the contrary, you should be thankful that you have not been prosecuted for your weekly violation of the United States Copyright Laws. But even if you had just claims for arbitration—as to the value of a pledge from you thereon—we respectfully call your attention to a former experience in the *pledge line* we had with you. Actions of yours on this are of a too characteristic nature, and too recent, to be this soon forgotten, as the following will show: LAWRENCE, KAS, Oct. 7', 84. JOHN SULLIVAN, Esq., Whereas, you have been elected to the position of business manager of the WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER, knowing your delicate position in regard to accepting, and appreciating the ability, energy, and experience which you would bring into the enterprise if you associated yourself therewith; and as we are heartily interested in the success of said journal, and assure that we will assist you for the prosperous outcome of what is still somewhat of a venture, we do by this formally promise you, if you accept, the position, our cordial, earner, steady and lasting support, our warmest thanks and our assurance that we will not forget the favor conferred, and obligation bestowed, in thus uniting with us to carry on the work.

Crowell, W. H. Brown, A. Shavrert In conclusion, you weekly violate and break your pledged word. What reason have we to hope to gain aught by a decision which could not be otherwise than against you? We care for no more "pledges." Cease to violate the law, redeem the pledge above, come to us with clean hands. Until then, please pardon us for not giving you an excuse for withdrawing from the ridiculous and expensive position into which your own idle ambition has led you. J. SULLIVAN, Pres. Courier Co.

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.

When will the regents reward the boys for their trouble by getting them an instructor? Would it not be a good plan for the University to have the lectures printed in plumphlet form and distributed over the state. Manhattan does this. The Orophilians have adopted the by-laws as revised by their committee with a few changes. Now they say there can be no more political scheming in Orophilian. Let the good work go on. . . We need a healthy class spirit—but last Monday's performances were carried too far. When property is destroyed or health threatened, there can be no real fun. We students should know when to stop. We hear talk of an inter-freaternity ball. May it prove a success. Some entertainment ought to be held in the name of the University this year. A Pan-Hellenic reception has always proven a success in other colleges. The crank who is ever on the alert, now busies himself by writing names in the visitors' register, who have never seen the University. This ought to be stopped, for we cannot tell by looking over the register who were here, and as it is a good resort for personal editors of the University papers it should be kept free from impostors. --section might charter a car and thus secure rates. Not only this, but a jolly good time would be had also. We hope this will be done Christmas at lea$^1$. Thanksgiving is near at hand and quite a number of students will go home. It is no more than fair that the railroads should give reduced rates to the students. If this could not be had, all those going in one di- The coming Oread-Orophilian contest promises to be one of the closest ever held. The contestants have been carefully selected and are persons who have had considerable literary training. Each society is confident of success, and the one that wins can do a good deal of crowing, while the one that loses will slink away in silence. The Orophilians have amended their constitution so as to elect the orator and debater by contest. Although there was some opposition to this clause, it was carried through by its friends. The contest idea may be a good one, but we are sure it furnishes great opportunities for scheming in the early part of the year before the new students know the wires. . . . For some years past the students of the K, S, U. have been idyldreaming, sleeping, or have been in a stupor of some kind, hoping that a good time was coming in the way of college spirit, and not until this year has the felling shown itself in such a degree as to be perceptible. We now have two base ball clubs, which, although they have not done much work as yet, are organized and are ready to start right in as soon as the spring season opens. Heretofore we have waited until the second term was nearly over before we organized, and the time for playing was very limited. We also have an enthusiasm military company, and it only remains for the Regents to lend a helping hand and make the affair a complete success. . . . . There is one thing which will create more enthusiasm and fraternal feeling among the students than all others put together, that is a K. S. U. song book. The Courier has already placed in type some of the compositions of our students and with a little work enough more could be written to make a respectable song book. When once the students learned them they could be sung at the literary societies and at all gatherings where music would be in order. Let some one or some company undertake the affair and see what can be done. It would be an investment for some enterprising youth who wished to make money. It would take a few dollars to get the binding done, but when once finished they would sell like hot cakes. Wake up, ye loyal students of the university, and put more life into this institution! Let the corridors of the building ring with songs of K. S. U. --tendency now is to divide into classes or cliques, and to affiliate with no one outside of them. Another matter about which we take space to speak, is the recent elections throughout the country. The contests in New York and Virginia were looked upon with much interest by all parties, and the result has been the cause of much joy in the Democratic ranks. Their unquestionable victory in Virginia shows that that state wishes to still be one of the "Solid South," and continue under Democratic rule. Their success in New York proves that they are pleased so far with their choice for president and willingly cast their ballots for one who has said he will uphold Cleveland's doctrines. The metropolitan Republican papers attribute their defeat to the "stay at home voters;" to the speeches made by Foraker and Logan in that state a few days previous to the election, in which they claim that they did not speak Republican sentiment, and to the enthusiasm of the Democrats which had not yet died out since the last election. Considering the result of the contest, we would in a feeble way, simply like to inform the Republican party that if they don't get out of the stupor they have fallen into, they are going to wake up some morning and find the Democrats with their hands on that which the Republicans had possession of for the last quarter of century. Now that there is no more room for political scheming in the literary societies this year, the dirty workers thought they would step down into a class meeting and try to run a Freshman election. So last Friday the innocent Freshies called their meeting to elect officers for the ensuing year and adopt a constitution as has been the custom. When they assembled and were called to order, they found a large delegation from the Sophomore class in their midst ready to assist them in their work, and great assistance they gave; for before they knew what they were about the Freshies adopted a clause in their constitution which gave the Sophs, the right to vote, and before the meeting adjourned most of the officers elected were actually members of the class of '85. Afterwards those of the class who were in favor of doing what is right agreed to hold another meeting and expel those who have previously connected themselves with any other class. On Monday the Freshies held their meeting with guards placed at every door and window. By this means only Simon pure Freshmen were admitted. The aforesaid Soph, officers and their friends stormed at every entrance however, and finally set the Sulphydric gas machine at work through the door cracks. The Chancellor caught one Soph. at this and suspended him Tuesday. Both Freshies and Sophs, held peaceful meetings on the latter day. But the trouble is not yet over. We go to press too soon to report the final proceedings. . . We section go outside or the space of college life in the columns of the Course, but when we speak of things in which students are interested and in which they take part outside of the University, we think we are still in order. The most recent event is something which happened in our own state—the Walkup trial at Emporia. As quite a number of our students intend to become lawyers, they have watched the proceedings with considerable interest. The case was a matter of life and death with the fair young widow, and money was not spared in securing the best lawyers in the state, and in return words were not spared by them in arguing the affair before the jury. After some deliberation the immortal twelve have rendered a veredict of "Not guilty." Upon their oaths they declare that the state has not proven that Walkup came to his end at the hands of his wife. One thing was certain, he died of arnicic poison, but that it was his wife that administered the drug they claim was not shown. Although it is a suspicious incident, it is no proof that she murdered her husband because she had been the purchaser of the same substance which caused his death shortly be fore the time he died. It was thought by some that on account of the young age of the defendant, they would show partiality toward her, and a remark of one of the jurors after the case was decided, was: "If I had voted to convict that little girl, her face would haunt me in my sleep all the rest of my life." So the matter my not be settled yet. A motion for a new trial is in order. However, the jury was carefully selected and all were capable of judging rightly. The state had the very best lawyers to contend with, and it is no surprise that the verdict is what it is. We hope our K. S. U. lawyers (to be) have gained points in the case which will help them in after life. . . The trouble between the classes has blown over. The suspended student has been taken back. Now that the students are in their cool senses, they regard the affair in a different light. Students' Views. STUDENTS VIEWS: Now that we have a military company, why don't those who were so conspicuously frequent last year come forward and lend the enterprise a helping hand. After all this big talk it seems as if there should be more found willing to go in and do something. Thus an organization could be formed which would be fruitful, not only in square shoulders and erect manly form, but be a credit to K. S. U. Come out, boys, and give the thing a lift. G. Kansas is a great state. She is growing every year in wealth and population. Her fame is extending over the whole world, yet she is nigherly in her appropriations to the University. The truth that "economy is the road to wealth," does not apply in this case, but the members of the legislature can and will object to large appropriations for library and other necessities of K. S. U. unless the benefits to the state are presented to them. No one can doubt that the increased fame of the State University adds to the glory of the state. Now we as students, should strive to set forth the advantages of the University to the people of the state. A body of young people, such as students, could exercise a great influence on the people. Our home papers are at our disposal; why don't we write to them more frequently? Our college papers would do much good; why are they not sent home to our parents? It is our duty to our alma mater to work to strengthen her. Kansas University has won her way to the hearts of the people, yet she can gain much more ground. You can hardly take up the catalogue of an eastern college without seeing the name of some student from Kansas. These should stay at home. It is as cheap, if not cheaper, to attend here. The curriculum of U. of K. will compare favorably with that of most eastern schools. The only thing to be gained by graduation at an eastern school is the name of being a graduate of a more noted school. This desire of our young men to "go East" should be combatted. The students can do it by their influence. The college papers can do much toward this end by continually presenting the claims of Kansas University to the people. No one doubts that U. of K. will ultimately rank with Michigan and other large colleges. The sooner this result is reached the better. It is in our hands, so let us hear from our loyal students through the columns of their home papers. WILL C. U. LATER. Some of our city fathers would do well to earnestly consider the good old maxim, "Cleanliness is next to Goddiness," and then examine into the condition of the city. Lawrence is the educational center of the state, and with its usual fairs and conventions and the historical interest that surrounds it attracts many visitors. These are not favorably impressed with the many disagreeable odors that greet the sense from alleys, by-streets and even Mass. street itself. Not only is the existing state of affairs very unpleasant but very unhealthy. The proper city officials should arouse themselves and see that some action is taken toward a general "cleaning up." This is a matter in which private parties should be interested more than anyone else. Let each see that all is kept neat and clean in their back yards and alleys, and with a little extra work our city will be improved to a vast extent. Let the necessary work begin at once. X. Y. Z. Why not be more social, fellow students? We are all of one members grand institution of learning. The Each class has its own organization and there are nine fraternities besides five literary societies. Now these all well enough, and I would like to see each one prosper. But why not have college socials, say every two weeks, in which every one could take part from the little sub-frosbie to the august senior, "frats" and "barbs" and Profs, in one grand body. The Chancellor has stated in chapter that the object of the Friday morning assemblies, are that all the students should meet face to face. That is all well enough for the object which the Chancellor wishes to accomplish in the way of enrolment, but his having that assembly for the students to meet and know one another is an utter failure. But, I say with a little effort on the part of the leading students and Profs, that bi-weekly reunions can be made both interesting and profitable. Perhaps you will say it is impossible. There is no place to hold them. I would say that the University is just the place and that a better one cannot be found. The old saying that "In unseen there is strength," applies to us well as it does to our beloved country. And who is there among us that does not want us to grow stronger? Now each of you think of what you would call the best way to strengthen our University, and I believe every one of you will come to the conclusion that when this low down scheming and party strife ceases, we are strengthened a hundred fold. Here we are going to accomplish this? By bringing all the students into close relationship with one another. Then you ask which is the best possible way to bring this about? I will venture an answer—bi-weekly remembrances I would like to have the opinion of some of the students on this subject through the columns of our college papers. E. In an institution of as much importance as K. S. U, it really appears if the members of the college department should have sense of honor enough to know and say what class they belong. But experiment has proved the contrary. The other day there was present at the Freshman class meeting a conglomeration of Sophmores and Juniors who had a word to say about everything that came up; and they did not stop here, but even bad the assurance try and get office for themselves friends. Is there some attraction about the Freshman class meeting that calls in the upper class men and causes them to hang 'round like flies on a molasses jug? The way the matter stands now, calls for immediate action, and a way, fair play; and perhaps we have this if our smart friends we only look at the right side of the matter. G. What is to be done with the historical contest? Shall we wait until every other school in the state has held its contest and then hope to win with half the time for preparation The State University ought to carry off the honors, for its students have the advantage of two or three years more training than other state institutions, besides a better library for reference. Let us wake up and have the contest before Christmas, P.W. The good old Senior class of St disgraced itself last Wednesday. According to the annual custom the Juniors in Prof. Camfield's classes brought up their Harvard Pie. The Seniors stole the pie and ate it during the third hour. Such conduct in our oldest ladies and gentlemen cannot be excused. JUNIOR TITLE HEA Saf A prominent New York i chap who he guards and has must be A certain recently the fact th shocked by bouch.

TITLE HEAD COPYRIGHTED ACCORDING TO ACT OF Saints and Sinners. --- A prominent theatrical manager of New York is named Herr Hull. The map who hoodwinked the Hallows'en marks and stole Mademoiselle's skeleton must be a near relation. ABE LEVY, THE POPULAR STUDENT'S HATTER AND FURNISHER A certain respectable relic of femininity recently conceived to her "fellow" the fact that she had been greatly shocked by my articles on the opera bouffe. He in turn has come to me to expostulate. Now what I want to know is this: If the paragraphs in question suggested anything impure to her delicate nature (a bad sign to begin with), how did she come to be conversing on such a subject with her gentleman friend? I admire modesty and can stand a pretty high temperature of affection. The one thing I do despise, however, is prudery — that purism which construes language into its worst meanings and sees in every action some ooftie signification. To enarrhase an old verse: It is ok to pretend, and though it woke him, Yet it eludes a peoplet or skunk; and none can approach it on open day-light, Unless he be crazy or drunk. What a godsend it would be for some, in business forms opened in the University. Last week I received a business letter from a very prominent student. Three words would have conveyed the information imparted and ten would have been more than simple. Instead there were just one hundred and eighty-five words, reading like the gush of a temperance orator. On the same day a clum showed me a note from his girl, accepting an invitation to a party, and subscribed "Yours, etc." Now she was evidently little acquainted with the forms of epistolary correspondence, else she would have known "Yours, etc." is only used between total strangers and to those to whom he meant marked disrespect. By the way, we have a business college in Lawrence. --- It isn't often that I go out of my way in those columns to give any one a pair; but I do think Burr, the Y. M.C. A. Secretary, is one of the exceptionally good fellows. It is chiefly through his cleverness and genial influence that the Association has attained its present popularity. Many persons in his position think their office sets them up as censors of the world's actions and morality; but that is not Burr, by a good deal. My son, I'm ashamed of you, to over there and sit on the samers' bench. If you had turned down the gas, made less explosion at the conjunction of lips and said nothing about the matter, it'd been all right, even if it was Hallowen, awake it is, it's awful. You can't sit among the samers any longer. You have seen the handsome fellow Junior Law's! Junior Law's! Blowing like a pair of hellows. Hutchins like a pair of hellows.

C.'s are preparing a royal Thanksgiving feast for their convention guests. There will be about twenty delegates present and as many more alumni from this city. Forty turkies have been engaged for the occasion—one for each plate. More would have been procured but the market supply ran short. As "Midsummer Meditations" gave a quit claim deed to "Autumn Musings," so in turn the latter has vacatited the premises for Saints and Sinners, who will occupy the spare room during cold weather. The saints will sleep in beds of down, while the sinners must squirm among the thistles. 喳 喳 Prof. Caufield has a theory—at least he says it is his theory—the best athletes are the best students. So I observe. The other day I dropped in on a coterie of base ball champions and was dazed at the evidences of high student life and exalted literary culture around me. On the bed, covering the floor, and beckoning the tables were the choiceest fruitage of English thought, including such master pieces as "Doc Kedge, the Alchemist Assassin, or Old Broadbirm's Great Abduction Case." 2 H CH3 Now I believe athletes has no more relation to the scholarship of a student than has the style of his suspenders or the cut of his shirt. We have fine muscular fellows who lead alike in the diamond and in the class room. On the other hand we have splendid students who would be the defeat of the best organized nine on earth. The fact that girls as a rule are not accomplished gymnasts, does not prove they are not good scholars. Every student should have "plenty of exercise" and "plain, nutricious food" (vide the catalogue), but beyond that, scholarship wont suffer for want of athletics. + . . I don't want anyone to think I am running down athletics. I admire as much as anyone that vigorous and enviable physical development which shows off so advantageously in the sports. However, I don't think the muscle of which Sullivan the fighter, and Hanlan the oarsman are made, are necessarily evidences of great mental powers; nor do I think the girls who wielded the bat at Bismarck last Tuesday are so vastly the literary superiors of our K. S. I., ladies. The Ordeals are somewhat jubilant that Mother Orophilian, the staid old matron, has gone to knocking teeth and pulling hair. For a year or so past the Orophilians have been want to point out what an unharmonious, disagreeable lot of cubs the Ordeals were. The tables are now turned. I don't think either society has much of which to boast on the score of angelic tranquility. $ \therefore $ What a satanic invention are stained glass windows. In front of me at the Congregational church the other day sat a Lawrence belle, a beauty by nature, but more so by art. The comiliness of her face, the whiteness of her neck and the symmetry of her arm would have detrusted from the eloquence of a Becher or Goff. Suddenly the sun came out, and gleaming through the stained windows fell upon her lovely features in a dozen different bues. The charm dissolved. On her forehead was a black and blue spot the size of a man's fist; one eye was livid green, the other golden; her cheek seemed in the last stages of mortification; the chin stood out prominently in all the purity of lily-white: the wichery of her neck vanished in a cloud of purple, and the ravishing splendor of shoulders and arms succeeded to a tinge of infamel vernil ion, set off by a bodice of ochre yellow. A model of surpassing loveliness was forever damned by the modern style of church decoration. Suffused with weariness at the transformation wrought by Old Sol, I sorrowfully turned my gaze to the pulpit and listened with devout attention to the story of eternal grace and divine forgiveness, deeply wondering if they could extend to the manufacturers o stained glass.

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.

The Junior Latin class has laid aside Tacitus, and commenced Plantus. Why doesn't our soporific contemporary, the Review, make its ap pearance? Prot. Canfield suggests that the boys from a Political Science Club. He is willing to lend his aid. "If it isn't convenient for you, Mr. Yobe, we will change the time or holding chapel exercises." The Freshmen and Sophomores occupied the pugilist field the first of the week. The Juniors and Seniors the last. Prof. Wilcox is forming a Greek library for the uses of his classes. The books will be kept in the professor's study. A large number of Social Science Club ladies were shown through the University last week, and expressed themselves very much pleased with the institution. The Freshman class met and adopted a constitution last Friday, and elected the following officers: President, W. S. Allen; Vice President, Gertrude Crotty; Secretary, Jeanne Anderson; W. H. Jackson, Master of Athletics; L. Stebbins, Historian. Prof. Canfield informs us that out of sixty papers for the State Teachers association at Topeka during the holidays, forty-seven are now in the secretary's hands or so far completed that there is no doubt of their being completed. This is a very unusual showing so long before the session. It would look as though the entire program would be represented without a vacancy. Quite a number of young ladies met at the Y. M. C. A. parlors Friday and organized a Y. W. C. A. under the direction of Mr. Ober, Eleven young ladies signified their willingness to Join.

(Howls and shouts within.) The Doctor (finally getting in.) This meeting will stand adjourned. Freshmen slink away. Curtains falls to slow music. The Seniors came to the front Wednesday with their characteristic highmindedness and dignity (?). The Junior girls had baked a couple of large Harvard apple pies of the old historic kind, for the class in Colonial History and had placed them in Prof. Canfield's study. Now a number of these aforesaid dignitaries sneaked into the Profs. Study and stole one of the pies. Mind you they didn't come out boldly and fight for it, but sneaked, and skulked around like a son of Ham in a chicken roost. O! Yes, the Seniors ought to get plug hats, they need something to give an appearance of dignity. It IS RUMORED—That the supporomes helped the Freshies organize...That Prof. Robinson's dog set a skunk...That the skunk set the prof...That the Prof. set them up to Dyche...That Dyche set it forth to the boys...That the girls all got mashed on Ober...That Yao "wo-ked" the female ball club...That the Sophis will manage the Freshman dance...That there are only five active members in Orophilian...That the Kappas have a new member...That Searl is getting dudish...That his old gray Pegasus can't trot...That the Y.

M. C. A. received a visit this week from Mr. C. K. Ober, college secretary of the International Committee of the 7 U. C. A. He is a graduate of William's college...During his visit here Mr. Ober organized our college Y. M. C. A. making it independent of the city organization. Mr. A. L.

The pharmacists and freshmen crossed bats in at the ball ground Monday afternoon. At the close of the sixth inning the game was called by the ampire. The score standing 16 to 13 in favor of the pharmacy boys. The freshman nine consisted of Neal, Wendorf, Allen, Chapin, Hogeboom, Cummings, Nelson, Smith and Lewis. The pharmacists were Griffith, McBride, Fox, Sexton Hoadley, Smith, Whithead, White and Rushmer...Quidlam professor (cui nomen est R——filio) cumane in agrum venit. Statim canis cauda erecta, stetit.

Music at Cosley's skating rink tonight. One of the most pleasant places in the city for an evening's entertainment. Prof's Snow, Bailey, Sayre, Nichols and W. S. Franklin went to Manhattan, Tuesday, to attend the State Academy of Science. There is a sign down town that reads, "Rent cheap boots and shoes." Will some one please tell Franklin about it? A. L. Burney spent last week with his brother, W. L. P. Burney, at Medicine Lodge, Kansas. When the Freshmen learned that the petition of the Sophmore's was not to be considered, they concluded not to hand their' in. Dean prepared a list of students who were present at the ball game, but yielded to the "solicitation of tears" in not publishing it. W. W. Davis has been kept in his room during the week by an ulcerated tooth. Graham says that he swore, but we don't believe it. It is said that when the glass was broken in the art room door, the Chancellor contemplated giving the societies a vacation for the rest of the year. Evening school at the Business College, teaching all the common branches, is a good opportunity for students desiring to improve in penmanship, etc. Students and young men and women of the city should take advantage of the opportunity offered in the evening school of the Business College. The military company still lives and thrives, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. The boys are doing well, and can already execute some difficult movements. On Wednesday last a large party of visitors climbed the hill to view our University. They were shown through the buildings by our guides, and admired our fine museum. They were especially pleased with Prof. Dyche's room on the third floor. The company consisted of Sade Sulivan, D. S. Colt, H. S. Sergeant, C. M. Hill, Moses T. Records, T. D. Lebl, C. P. McCoy, Bertie Fritsche, Mary Seaman, Bertie Hirottell, all of Baldwin, Kansas; T. F. Warne, Carbondale, Kansas; Miss Flory, Mr. and Mrs. James Litchfield, Mrs. R. K. Tabor, Mrs. S. B. Prentiss, of Lawrence; Mrs. C. A. Tabor, of Vt. What four K. S. U. girls viewed the scenery from the top of the tea house farthest from Lawrence? Why the Seniors and Profs. do not play that game of base ball? WHAT THE COURIER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. Whether W. T. Reed will always be a Freshman? How river-water tastes when one has been rowing for about an hour? Who Joe, Tom, Dick and Harry are? Why Joe Grover wishes he had vings? Why so many students promenade the halls during Chancellor's absence? If the new boat club isn't a daisy? Who it was that held the skeel son's ball for a whole hour? And what its name is? Why the girls were so frightened at the skeleton? And if he thought it was, perhaps, a woman's hand, or was merely practicing for future benefit. How much Griffith got for umiring? How many boys took in the ball game Tuesday? If Fritz is a Fresh or a Soph? How much Yohe got for pitching? How much Davis got for catching? Why the Faculty and Seniors don't play that game of ball? How many fellows came home from Bismarck the back way, and kicked themselves after they got there? Who stole the Junior pie? How many fellows met with the disciplinary committee this week? Why the Oread-Orophilian contest don't come off? No.10. Why so many upper-class men say they are Freshmen now? Autumn Musings. Ye Muset was quite struck with the way the Freshies entered upon their class election. It was one of those bright and youth renewing examples of childhoods eager purportation after bubbles that burst in the expectant grasp. There is something about the innocent joy of the Freshman as he casts his first vote in a class meeting and feels that he is in truth a collegian that makes the upper class man almost wish that those guilleless verdant days were his again. *Vanitas canutatum!* But they know it not. All too soon they will learn it though. 'Tis with a feeling akin to sadness that we realize it. How strange it is that there are any students who entirely neglect the advantages, so generously offered them by the State and their parents. It seems to me so very short-sighted and ungrateful for any person whose State offers him a free education, and whose parents strive hard to supply him with money, to pass over such opportunities for improving himself and spend all his time in places of amusement. I know especially of two students, who are now for the second or third year in the same classes, and who spend almost all their time in some frivolous manner or other. Of course every student should be sure of some of them take远远 too much. Our University is remarkably free from individuals of this sort, but even a few are too many. Let every one, who reads this stop and think whether he is getting all the possible good out of his college career, and see if it isn't his own fault that he doesn't. - * * * * * I hear so much about, social gritty that I am getting a little tired now while no one will deny that a certain amount of society is good and beneficial, it is equally undeniable that to much has an evil effect. I say nothing of the time lost and the consequent detriment to studies, but the habits acquired and the injury to health is no small matter. The student is proverbially a nighthawk, a midnight apparition and the constant attendance at gathering of the "wee mans' hours" tends to make him more so. We may manly him so hollow-eyed like boys and girls, and I don't like to see the sight. This habit of keeping late hours is one that sticks and is not easily laid aside, and so we should be careful not to foster it, while in this plastic and green period of our existence. As the "calf is so the cow will be" so we who are not in the veil age should take every precaution to keep perfect our health and strength. PERSONAL. Miss Mary Black is ill.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL COMPANY. Entered at the Post Office of Hawthorne, Kau- was, as second class matter. THE second number of Kappa Alpha Theta is before us with its sombre black cover, and bright pages. Though not quite so large as the first number it is full of society news, which cannot fail to be of great interest to members. Some of the recitation rooms are kept locked, except when the class recites, and then are opened up just in time for the recitation. The air in these rooms is almost poisonous. After breathing it for a short time a person becomes drowsy, and do his best he can hardly keep awake; leaving the class a severe headache, is also one of the results. This is the case with the room in which the Senior Laws recite, and some thing should be done to remedy it. The janitor when he opens the room, could raise a window and let in some fresh air with very little trouble. This could be done an hour or so before the class recites. There would then be time enough for the room to become warm if the weather was cold. Why can't it be done? A Mississippi exchange complains that so many of their college-bred men leave the State, and though they are educated in Mississippi, other States reap the reward of their knowledge. This is one of the disadvantages of not having a progressive State. Kansas has never been troubled in this manner, for we can think of many University graduates who hold positions of honor and trust all over the State, and very few who have immigrated to other States. Besides our own graduates, many alumni of Eastern colleges find occupation and homes in Kansas, and we derive the benefit of their education also. We are sorry for Mississippi, yet we think something must be wrong with the State or college men would stay there. BOARDING in clubs is becoming very popular among students. There are at present three clubs in active operation, containing an aggregate membership of about eighty-five. Estimating the usual proportion of boys in the present attendance of 375, there would be 225 boys, out of which 85, a little over one-third of the entire number, are members of these clubs. The average cost per week is $2.50; the board furnished is plain, but substantial and well cooked. This is the correct way, and we hope that the lesson taught will be taken advantage of. There should be several large boarding establishments built for the accommodation of students. If it was not desirable to run the culinary part in each one, the houses could be built so that a good boarding place would be easy of access. In this way one place would suffice for several dormitories. It is strange that no one has attempted this before. Plenty of money can be obtained at seven and eight per cent, with which to build and furnish houses, and it would be very easy to obtain ten per cent, in return. For $2,500 or $3,000, a house that would accommodate fourteen, could be built, and for $500 more seven rooms could be comfortably furnished; for which at least an average of nine dollars per month could be obtained, which would amount to $507 a year. Making all allowance possible, and there would easily be 10 or 12 per cent, on $3,500 invested. Who will be the public-spirited individual who will undertake this work? The growth of college journalism has been remarkably rapid within the past few years, until now there is scarce a school in the country which does not issue a publication of some kind. The larger colleges now have neway weeklies, some ever publish dailies, besides the old literary monthly, which is very good its way, but yet does not satisfy the present generation. We live in an age of progress and brevity, and the spirit of the time is felt in college as well as elsewhere. It demands something brighter and fresher that the conventional literary monthly with its solid, often heavy reading matter, and the college weekly course to fill this want. Of course in many of the smaller schools and one-hot institutions, the slow-going months are still the only publication, and it is positively amusing to see how their narrow-minded editors attack weeklies of other schools for not publishing literature matter. There is about as much sense in this assault as if any one should object to our metropolitan dailies because they don't have the literary matter of the monthly magazines. The Courier has been often assailed in this manner by several exchanges, which seem to think that we, like themselves, are attempting to run a literary paper. The thick-headed editors of these journals seem to have no conception of the value of good local and personal departments, nor to appreciate anything besides heavy articles and hackneyed quotations. The mission of the Courier is not to publish literary articles (for besides publishing our literary E. C., the University Review, the students of K. S. U. read the North American Review, the Century and Harper's Magazine), but to give the latest news of the University, and of those who are or have been connected with it, and to enlighten and assist both college and students as much as possible. --contest. This is a benefit of fraternities that we never heard of before and must be of great advantage to members. All institutions originated by man seem to fall on the anlogy of his growth and development, both moral and physical. As to this rule college fraternities seem to be no exception. In the North and East, where they have attained to the full stature of manhood, they soberly, earnestly, intelligently carry out the purposes at which they aim; the West, where they are still in their infancy, presents the paradox of organizations designed for the promotion of good feeling among students becoming instead scheming cliques, each striving to work the other's run. No better illustration of this can be found than at the University of Kansas there, if reports of opposing cliques are to be credited, fraternities are perfect hot-beds of injuity, breaches of truffles, etc. By their dissensions the Weekly University Courier, one of our brightest, livest exchanges, threatens to go to pieces when the first blush of exotic opposition is over. But we hope to see the storm blow over to the satisfaction of all parties, and the belligerent frat, accept gracefully the defeat that now seems inevitable. Perhaps the lesson thus toughly learned from experience will prove beneficial to all parties, and especially to the fraternities. At least it is to be hoped.—The Atlantis. THE COURIER has been undergoing a severe strain, but as to "going to pieces," we cannot but retort—not this year! We quote from the Heuperim the following concerning the interstate prize oration which was printed in the September Review. It seems very evident to us that the young Nebraska man heard Beveridge's oration before somehow or other, and then spoke it as his own, probably in the hope they both would not get to the inter-state It is highly improbable that Beveridge copied from the Nebraska student, yet the chance remains that both copied from somewhere; We are surprised. In one of the college papers the Drifter had the great pleasure of reading the exquisite oration of that lamented Northwestern Inter-state Oratorical Contest. Now, as we perused, a strange feeling came over us. It was like the flood of recollections and memories of the past that rushes over a commercial traveler when he finds at a railroad eating house the same old ham sandwich that he marked six months before. As we read the cloquent and poetic effusions of the honorable gentleman from De Paun University, almost involuntary our minds roved back through long forgotten scenes and the past unfolded like a dream (It always unfolds that way.) “To come to the point,” as noble Brutus said when he ran on his bowie knife, we heard that oration before. Thereon hangs a tale, Last fall a chicky young man from De Paun—a member of D. K. E., as is the successful orator—entered the first prep. department of Nebraska University. He was also an orator. In the local contest he favored the cultured audience with his views on a “Conflict between Capital and Labor.” Now that oration was almost identical with the prize oraphor. It contained the same old metaphor—“Then let the song of Bethlehem’s morning star put on ite.” It was ornamented with the same figurative Chinese lantern with which the successful orator illuminated his scent but well appearing thoughts. —“Out from the shades of Gethsema; out from the riven tomb, he of the thorn-crowned brow is walking down the trampled urses ate.” —"Out from the shades of Gethsemane; out from the riven tomb, he of the thorn-crowned brow is walking down the troubled ages etc." One more incidental is worthy of note. Both orations contained the unexplainable statement that "Capital without conscience is tyranny, Labor without conscience is anarchy." Now gentlemen of the press walk up and deposit your guesses as to the true explanation of these singular facts, we give it up. —Hesperium. STUDENTS in college should not imagine that they are doing their duty if they merely perform the tasks assigned in the class-room. They should remember that they will never again have so many opportunities for widening the scope of their accomplishments, and that every time they neglect to improve any of these opportunities they suffer so much loss. There is one thing, in particular of which we think just now by the practice of which students would greatly benefit themselves, if they would only stick to it a little instead of neglecting it entirely, as the great majority of students do now. We refer to extemporaneous speaking. Of course chapel speeches and public performances should be committed, not perhaps because it is the best way, but because few without the confidence of experience could make a presentable extemporaneous speech in public. In the literary societies, however, every student should practice impromptu speech-making, even if he can not, as probably he would not, do well the first time, he will soon improve with a little experience. The student, who can make a fair extemporaneous speech, is far more developed and advanced in thinking than the one who can only deliver a committed oration, good though it may be. The memory should not be always depended upon, but one should be able to think quickly and when on his feet. No one is able to hold and keep always what his mind receives, therefore originality and quick thought must be employed to some degree. We do not believe that anyone should begin his career in oratory will merely extemporaneous speaking but after a little practice in delivering committed orations, or speaking from full notes, he should begin to speak from an outline without writing out his speech. Let us remember in this connection, too that a well thought out outline is of the first importance. Extemepurpose speech is by no means un prepared speech. We should know what we are going to say, and why we are going to say it, when we attempt to speak. With a well-digested and connected outline of ideas (ideas not words) the slowest minds can usually make a very fair address. Among the many advantages of non-commitment of speeches and debates, the increased strength of mind and reasoning powers, the smoother flow of language, the greater originality, the necessity for carefulness, and the finest kind of drill will prove of incalculable benefit both now and in after life, whatever profession, trade or calling that one may take up, the ability to make an off-hand speech will prove a splendid boon. Students of K. S. U., do not neglect this great chance of improvement, for you will surely regret it in after life if you do. Do not be afraid to start out, for remember, though naturally enough you will not do well at first, that practice makes perfect. There is the possibility of every student becoming able to make at least a fair extemporaneous speech, and no one should be discouraged because excellence is not attained in a day. No matter how one may appear the first few times, improvement is the great aim in all that is attempted in college, and all other things are secondary considerations. Let us be independent of memory, self-possessed, self-reliant and quick to think. Let us remember that whatever we gain in extemporeanous speaking we own, while we lose much that we may acquire by committing speeches. So instead of always unwinding our thoughts like thread from a spool, let us be original, concise and to the point Orophilian has made a move in the right direction and Oread debates are proverbially impromptu. Yet how few students take advantage of these opportunities. AT BOWERSOCK'S OPERA HOUSE, Nov. 18, BARTEY CAMPBELL'S WHITE SLAVE — Bartley Campbell the prolific and popular author, added another to his long list of triumphs in this city last night, when the "White Slave" was presented here for the first time. The "White Slave" was rapturiously applauded by a very large audience at Haverly's Theater last night; will prove a drawing card and a popular success in every part of the country, as it deserves to do. The piece is brimful of action, the characters well drawn, and some of them original types in their way; the story itself is full of human interest and the comedy and pathos are so closely interwoven as to bring smiles and tears almost at the same moment. The whole plot turns on the fortunes or misfortunes of Lisa, the supposed daughter of Nance, a quadron, but really the illegitimate child of the judge Hardin. The judge informed of the fact, just before his death, imposes an oath on Nance to keep the secret for the honor of the family name, and gives the girl her freedom papers only before he dies. These, however, are found invalid, and Lisa is sold to a slave dealer named Lacy. It is on her flight from the latter's brutality, her rescue by her old lover, Clay Britton, her attempted capture on the Mississippi steamboat, and her adventures on a floating spar after the wreck and on an island in the river, that the remaining acts depend. It will be seen that the incidents are exciting and absorbing enough to give ample opportunity for fine picturesque and mechanical effects, and these have been taken advantage of. The piece is most excellently acted. — Phila. News,秋 10th. "Rags are royal raiment when worn for virtue's sake."—The White Slave. Bartley Campbell has touched the most delicate and responsive chord in human nature in "The White Slave"—namely, sympathy, as a dramatic and literary work—is worth all the attention. The book's "Odocooron" that ever were written or even will be written. It is a towering monument of dramatic art. Mr. Campbell could not have gone over the old ground without chipping off the old edges, but he has cut the diamond like a true lapidary, and it now blazes with the effulgence of a stone that are a few sensational flames in it, but the stone is one of the most valuable in the dramatic cabinet. The play could not be wrought without certain sensational effects; but even with these it is one of the noblest effects in our time in the direction of lifting the stage out of the slough of inanity and demoralization. The sentiment is studded all over with diamond tinted thought and pearly wisdom; the diction is pure and simple, and the climaxes are wrought with supreme dramatic effect. VIEWS. The scenery is very beautiful. The tropical picture of "Red Devil's Island" is a faithful rendition of the spot, and awakens much enthusiasm. The cast is first class in every reel. The acting has been trained. Mr. Campbell has won another triumph.—New York Sunday Democrat, April 29th. "FRATERNITY CLANISM." EDITOR COURIER:—There is a growing sentiment in our school against those cliquish, clanish societies which, under the guise of "Greek Letter Fraternities," exist for the selfish interests of their individual members, and the sordid purposes of their organizations. The primary object of such organizations, it must be confessed, was the taking of an undue advantage of those who were not disposed to resort to this secret method of procedure. It grew out of the old idea of class distinction of the middle ages—out of the presumption that a few are "supremely" above the remainder of society. The persons who join such cliques are generally such as are unwilling to stand upon their own merit, and share the fate of those whom they "CALL" their companions. As these societies exist in this University, they are the "Tweed Rings" of our politics—dangerous only because their methods are veiled by the shroud of mystery. The "Greek Pratenity" members are not dangerous individually, for as individuals, they are utterly incapable of exerting more than the ordinary power exerted by "dues" and demagogues. They are, therefore, standing organizations for the manipulation of all schemes which will turn the tide of honors and prizes into their yearning hands. Now, in the name of the barbs, I want to say that the barbarians, so called, are not so offensive that they are obliged to bind companions to them by an iron-clad oath in order to have friends. Those universal principles of friendship which a kind God has given to man are, at least, strong enough in the breast of the barb to make him a sincere friend. But it is in society that these notorious factions are the most greedy and rapacious. Assuming that there are no mortals worthy of a companion, except those who, like ignorant savages, adorn their persons with “PINS” and other personish toys, they proceed to ostruscize all others. A foolish fop, who, for the lack of brains, has joined one of these clans, is an angel compared with a studious, intelligent and sensible student. To wear a “Frat.” Pin is at least one sign that you are a gentleman, and often it is the only sign. These cunning flirts tautingly pride themselves on being above “barbarians,” and having usped absolute power in society, succeasingly, “why don't you barbs have a party?” We have known good and amiable students to enter the school and for six long years travel the path of strife and struggle, which the fraternities have made even rougher by every possible barrier; and after having fought their way through these obstacles, run the gaudtier of these coowing factions, and gained honors and renown, then after all this, after their college days were over, to allow these slimy creatures to dupe them and gain the glory of the victories which they endeavored to make impossible. What folly! Surrender to the enemy which you have conquered? Never! If these cliques had aided and assisted you in your struggling school days, when you were Freshmen and Sophomores, they might claim some parcel of your honor. But any society which does not design to recognize you until you compel it to do so, is not your friend, to say the least. Then let us bestow upon these organizations the condemnation which they so richly deserve. Let us down those cliques which have turned K. S. U. into a cesspool of corruption, which have divided our university society into a score of factions, and breed a spirit of hatred in the bosoms of fellow class-mates. Let the students of K. S. U. return to that state of peaceful society in which every one shall earn all he gets, and get all he earns. Then there will be no Beta Theta Pi or Pii Kappa Psi to ruffle the schooldays of life that come but once; then will we be equal, as God intended we should be equal, "Equal in Privilege." NOTES. Yesterday a COURER representative in search of items called on Shimmons & Son, and found all hands, that were not getting out stoves and chamber suits, busy in opening out new invoices of pictures and fine glassware. The glassware is a new, fine variety, now received in Lawrence for the first time. It is very handsome, and should and will sell. The Lawrence ladies like nice table ware, and will soon find all the new styles and kinds that are in the market. It is a poor day for trade when Shimmons & Son do not receive two or three invoices of new goods, and very few people have any idea of the large amount of goods handled by that firm. They have an immense stocc and are selling them cheap. it does one's eyes good to go into their store, and see the fine array of glassware and queensware. Fluke has one of the finest stock of musical instruments on hand to be found west of Chicago. "The Rise of Silas Lapham" S. T. FIELD & Co. NEW BOOKS.

Oh the good dinner and the magnificent appetites, and the merry, delightful time that followed!

ART LEAGUE.—Monday evening a special meeting occurred at the League rooms. The object of the gathering was to provide for a successful exhibition of League work and loans. Owing to many good reasons being offered—one of which was that the present rivival meetings should not be opposed by secular attractions—it was decided that the exhibition should be postponed until December 1, 2, 3, and 4. No works offered for exhibition are to have been previously exhibited at League meetings. The admission fee is to be a nominal one—fifteen cents, or twenty-five cents for a gentleman and lady. A catalogue will be provided to each visitor, free. The president pro tempore, Judge Banks, was instructed to appoint a committee on loans. Messrs Marvin and Moore were appointed a committee on catalogue. Mrs. P. R. Brooks was appointed chief of a committee on reception, with power to select assistants. H. L. Schaum was appointed as a committee on light. On motion, it was voted to hereafter have two meetings of the League each month—first and third Mondays. Mr. Reinsch made his first appearance as an associate member on this occasion, as also did Mrs. Graves. The members of the League are expected to report immediately to Secretary Marvin as to the number of pictures they will enter for exhibition, giving titles and approximate sizes. The pictures must be delivered at the rooms on Saturday, November 28th, not later than 4 p. m. Courses for sale at book stores and news stands.

A more enjoyable party to the participants we do not expect to chronicle for the coming season.

VIEWS:—Would it not be a very great improvement over the present plan that the gentlemen's Greek Letter societies follow, in giving their parties to make it a point to have present some other person—say, one of their married members and wife? I do not consider it exactly, within the bounds of propriety, for these parties to be held, unless, under the supervision of some older person. I know that if many mothers, knew that their daughters were whiling away their Friday evenings, in some of the Fraternity hours, dancing until the "wee, sma hours," without the restraining influence of older persons, they would be justly unasy about them. And I venture to say that few, if any parents know how these parties are conducted, and if they did, a stop would soon be put to it. Now, let the gentleman consider the fair names of their lady friends and they will quickly see that some steps be taken in the right direction, so as to prevent the slightest comment being made upon their actions. Do not misunderstand me, by believing that I am opposed to these parties; but, on the contrary I favor a few of them. Any gentleman, who values the fair name of his lady friend, will see the propriety of this suggestion. A GREEK. The above was handed us by one of the most prominent "Greek" society gentlemen of the University as for the present we publish without comment. Ed. ED. VIEWS:—Though chapel speaking is very instructive, yet there is a fault which should be corrected. I refer to the manner of grading. As I understand it, a committee from the Faculty does the marking, and this committee does not include the Professor of Elocution. Now, good delivery depends not only upon the voice, the position, the features, but also upon the features. No matter how well the first three be managed, if the expression of the face be stolid, and the eyes turned to the gallery and not to the audience, the effect is lost. It is not oratory then, but machine delivery. But the grading committee does not see the features. Its members sit on the platform, behind the speaker. Can you gaze upon the back, be it straight or humped, and judge the ability of the speaker? Is the management of the voice the only means of judging? That may be learned parrot-like. Is the effect upon the audience the true standard? No, for applause in every case lasts till the speaker is off the stage. Then let the committee sit among the students and mark upon the gestures, the management of the voice, the expression of the features. “Tis a consummation devotely to be wished.” SPEAKER. .

Cutler & Petroleum Engine Print Thanksgiving Speak a good word for Kansas University while you are home during Thanksgiving holidays. . The Courier will be sent to the students at their homes next week. Leave your addresses with the business managers. . The revival meetings in this city are doing a good work, Major Whittle is an earnest worker, and Mr. and Mrs. McGranahan preach a helping sermon in every song. We are glad to see so many students taking part in these meetings Some of the students who expect to graduate are having trouble on account of back studies. Every student should select one of the catalogue courses and adhere to it. Irregular students should become regular now, and not wait till the Senior year. Now that the city is grading Oreal Avenue, we notice that the citizens are buying lots facing it, and building houses. Doubtsless the dormitory question will thus be settled. We hope the owners of the lots will endeavor to have large and elegant residences erected. Kansas University can recount a year full of granted boons. Among the blessings that we shall recall on Thanksgiving are: An advanced standard of college work; a generous appropriation from the State; the Snow Hall of Natural History; a great increase of students in the higher classes; but little sickness and no deaths among the students during the past year. The students return thanks to Gov. Jno. A Martin for adding to the general proclamation of Thanksgiving sent to the Chancellor; And I further order that the students of Kansas University be granted a two day's vacation for value received." The governor must have been a college boy himself. Some students are of the opinion that if one attains a class standing of over ninety per cent., this should be taken as his examination grade, others that the class standing should always be used. This may be good in some studies, but in others it cannot be the right test. If there is a student in this school who can get a class standing of ninety and cannot stand an examination on the work he has just gone over, he is not worth much. We fancy we can see a young graduate who has been used to the class standing system taking an examination for a government position. How is his grade of ninety per cent, going to help him then? His knees will shake and his tooth will rattle so that he can hardly write correctly. Some one will say that the examinations make students "cram." Far from it, it is the different grades of diplomas that makes you sit up nearly all night at your German. It is the big grade you are after that keeps you digging at your Trig. a few days before the examination. If a grade of seventy per cent, would get the same "sheepskin" that ninety-nine per cent, does, we would be just as contented with seventy-five in examination as we are with ninety. Then we would be willing to be examined and be just as satisfied all around. + - + treasurer, W. E. Higgins; secretary, W. R. Cone; executive committee, Prof. Carruth, W. S. Jenks. The club is in excellent condition, and he has success has established permanent the club system among K. S. U. students. A new era in boarding has begun with the students, by which those having but little money may not be deprived of the advantages of our University simply because board is so high.

We would like to hear of a lady's boarding club started for there is no reason why they could not be as successful in this noble or enterprise as the boys. MENTHUL Confiction of studies. This is the cry of almost every student who intends to go through. As the University grows older and better, higher branches are placed in the higher classes, and the present studies dropped a year. This cannot help but make some students irregular, and make others more so. This year there are seemingly more who are mixed in their courses than ever before. Surely some provision should be made for those who are thus afflicted. In the great strides K. S. U. is taking to become one of the best of American colleges, its authorities have either placed their standard too high, or have foolishly cut off the preparatory department. There is not a high school in the State that prepares one so that he can enter the University regular. Although high school graduates are admitted to the Freshman class, before they are half through they are invariably troubled with back studies. Before they graduate, the University will always have advanced some in its accustomed manner, which will make them more irregular, and thus the work goes on. When two classes come at the same hour, the faculty either cannot make a person take one of them, or they must expect only half work in both. Last week the Kansas Academy of Science held its annual meeting at Manhattan. The University was represented by four professors and two students, and these were also accompanied by a number of citizens of Lawrence. The meeting was one of the best ever held. The expression of one of our profs, when he returned was: "The meeting was full and the program was full." And we are of the opinion that the Lawrence delegation was about half full, as another one of the profs, said he had some difficulty in finding his house upon his return. The best part of the whole affair was the banquet which was given the visitors by the students of the department of the science of cookery in the Agricultural college. The way those folks from Lawrence helped to devour that "grub" was just awful; and while the Agricultural college has a department of cookery, they believe the University must have a department wherein they train themselves in eating. But no matter how the "boys" had their fun, these annual meetings are of infinite value to the State. Once every year the scientific men of Kansas assemble and report the result of their investigations. The discovery of any new insect or worm which is destructive to our crops, is there reported, and if a remedy for them has been found, it is also made known, and if not, the problem is there submitted to the most intelligent scientists of the State to be solved. Probably the best paper read was that of Prof. Snow, on "A Fossil Bird Track," and equally interesting were the papers of Profs. Sayrey, Nichols and Bailey. The Academy of Science has our best wishes, and we hope it will continue to grow in importance and value to the State. There are several incidents in the recollections of Prof. E. D. Gross, by Dr. O. H. Allis, that seem of interest to all students. He was one of the great surgeons of this age. To his class he seemed bound by a double tie. The engagement to deliver a course of lectures was paramount to all other engagements, and no tempting consultation, no lucrative fee, and I may add no surmountable bodily infirmity, could keep him from his post. He expected every student to avail himself of the opportunity for which he had contracted. Loitering about the college, listlessness or leaving clinics before being dismissed, were not passed without rebuke. On such occasions I have seen him rise to his full stature, and cying those just ready to leave the room, picture the American student stealing out of clinics, and after graduating, going abroad to complete his education and get a foreign strut. He was too proud of American surgery, and too loyal to American medical teaching to feel that earnest students needed better opportunities than were afforded at home. At the same time he felt mortified that men who would neglect such opportunities would soon go forth with diploma of the college, to face disease, accident and medical problems similar to those they turned their back upon. No man ever lived that obtained the mastery over labor more completely than he. Other men have accomplished great things, and broken down under the burden. He never let any labor, scheme or purpose of life get the mastery of him. With him work had its legitimate ends, and each day's labor done he wiped the evidence of toll from his brow, gave to recreation its full share, and slept the sweet sleep of the harvester. He never allowed work to accumbate on his hands, never undertook more than he could accomplish well, and in the fulfillment of any project that must extend over months or years, he held himself rigidly to the accomplishment of stated duties, never yielding to disinclination or paltry excuse, and emerging from it if not refreshed, not exhausted, a contrast to the thousand of nervous, dyspeptic, sleepless ones who have shattered their fruit barks long before they got their fairly into life's current. A teacher of half a century, with students from every eline and tongue, a writer of universal acceptance, a surgeon whose aid had been invoked by a continent, honored by the highest titles in the gift of American and European Universities—such was Professor Gross. To the class as a whole, he was full of encouragement and sympathy, and almost parental solicitude. He gave them hints about their health, how to employ their time, with solemn warning against allurements of the city: "Gentlemen, don't study late, retire early, rise early, take all the exercise you can, study with pencil in hand—you will thus ward off drowsiness, and obtain a clearer knowledge of the subject—write home often to your mothers." --treasurer, W. E. Higgins; secretary, W. R. Cone; executive committee, Prof. Carruth, W. S. Jenks. The club is in excellent condition, and he has success has established permanent the club system among K. S.

We would like to hear of a lady's boarding club started for there is no reason why they could not be as successful in this noble or enterprise as the boys. MENTHUL The Science Club hold its regular bi-weekly meeting in the chemical building last Friday. Quite an interesting program was rendered. The delegates to the Academy of Science, which was held at Manhattan last week, gave the results of their labors and told the club all about the meeting. They decided to have a question box, wherein a person desiring information on any subject, will place the question in the box and it will be drawn out by some other person who will tell all he knows about it. They also decided to hold what will be called an "annual meeting," at which original work will be strictly required. This they intend to make the meeting of the year, and will invite the public to attend. STUDENTS: VIEWS. Mankind has a dread of imitating what seems to be inferior, but we may often profit by good things selected from a mass of rubbish. A few days ago, in visiting a school in Kansas, I saw a few things that I thought K, S, U. might adopt with profit. Although the society in this school is not separated into different grades, this fact is partly caused by the rural character of those composing its society. So on the whole, I would prefer the condition of the society of K, S, U. A visitor at the above mentioned temple of learning is shown into a nicely furnished parlor instead of standing in the corridors as at K. S. U. He also feels grateful that he can find a list of all the students and their addresses, and he need not disturb his friends in their classes. And if he must see them immediately, he has a quiet, cheerful parlor where no one will be disturbed. Visitors appreciate accommodations. The school has two literary societies, and their popularity is attributed to the fact that they meet in the evenings. W. HORTON. I would like to mention something that has occurred to me. The other day Orophilian adopted an elaborate amendment to its constitution, proposing to impose fines for non-performers of duty, and a penalty for absense. Now, I believe that Oreads' present lamentable condition is attributed to its fines and assessments. When the fines and dues amount to more than a dollar, the delinquent is apt to lose interest in his society. I know quite a number of Oreads who have not attended the meetings because they were not active members, and could not take part in the exercises. They would rather pay the dollar initiation fee into Orophilian than the fines plus a dollar and a half assessments. I think that this is the reason why Oread has not been able to have any programs lately. A word to the wise is sufficient. W. Houron. Why should the Sophomore class be required to take four studies when the catalogue states that a student is required to pursue only three? The cause seems to be that Anglo-Saxon and one or two other studies have been added to the course, lengthening it out to more than four years, of three studies each. Now we do not object to four studies, if the lessons are given in accordance with time ablated, but with such lessons as some of our professors are in the habit of giving, we do decidedly object to the change. Every prof. expects the student to prepare the text in his department to the exclusion of all others; and some give lessons as though they thought we studied one branch, and then to impose an extra study on us is too much. It is not alone what one gets in the text books that makes him wise, but he should have at least two hours every day to read in the library. One of the most honored Americans of to-day—James R. Lowell—says he learned more from reading than from regular recitations. Students read too little and become narrow by studying only the text book. Why, then, can we not make a choice between two of the languages in this year—say between Anglo-Saxon and French or Latin, and be required to take only one? There ought to be some arrangement made by which a change of this sort could be brought about, for the studies of the Sophomore year are particularly difficult. C. R. W. The Hillside dining club held a meeting last week and elected the following officers; President, Richard Short; steward, D. C. Kennedy; Work has again been resumed on Snow Hall. Last week the large iron girders which support the floor of the upper museum were put in place, and the joist of the second floor mostly laid. If the weather remains good the stone work will be completed by Christmas. Snow Hall will be the handsomest building on the camp when completed, but we regret that it could not have a better view to the easy. The museum will consist of two large rooms, which extend clear across the west end, one above the other, and will be filled with the newest collections of Profs. Snow and Dyche and other contributing friends. When completed it will be the principal attraction to visitors of the University. W. K. Some unhappy wight who, I suspect, spends most of his time in the balls or at the Academy of Science has been wailing up and down your generally bright columns for a moment or more about the absence of the lecture course; how, forsooth, the aim and end of his (collegiate) being was all broken down and brought to naught because he has no intellectual pabulum fed to him on Tuesday evenings. Now I understand the lecture committee has very considerably withheld two or three numbers of the course, in order not to interfere with the revival meetings in progress in the city, and that the disc lecture is to be given next Tuesday evening, by Lieutenant Governor A. P. Riddle, of Minneapolis. I would be willing to risk my old hat and my new one, too, if I had one, that this hopeless howler does not come to the University next Tuesday evening at all, and that he did not attend a single one of the lectures last year, although they were superior in quality to the paid lectures at Baldwin. If he is not a fraud, he ought to demonstrate it by attending, coming in before eight o'clock, and bringing his girl and her sister, and sitting in the amen pew. REGULAR. One of the most pleasant kettle-drums ever given in Lawrence was that which Miss Etta Halley tendered to her Kappa sisters last Friday afternoon.

While the Whittle meetings were in progress most of the regular work of the Y, M, C, A, at the rooms was postponed to give workers time and opportunity to assist in the evangelistic work. Mr. C, K. Oher, college secretary of the International committee of Young Men's Christian Associations, was in the city last week and held a conference with the young men of the University. The military company had a well attended meeting Wednesday. Over dirty men were in line, and they exented many difficult and beautiful movements, with an ease and acuity which would have been a credit to veterans. What has been done so far the boys have accomplished with out assistance from any one. With a little help from the faculty or regents we would soon have a company which would be a credit to K, S, U and the State. Mr. J, D. S. Cook, with Prof. Snyre, have organized a Bible class, which holds its meetings every Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, in the Episcopal church. Mr. Cook is a most interesting teacher. He has already quite a large class, but we doubt not it will increase, perhaps to equal the size of the one he had in Kansas City, which sometimes numbered as high as one hundred and fifty students. The fact that so many University students have joined it and are working for it is a credit to them, and a great encouragement to the very able teacher. Mr. G. A. Smith, Mr. J. E. Griffith and Mr. Barlow Lippincott are among those who are interested in the work. Ladies as well as gentlemen are in constant attendance. Tragedy Place, Academy of Science. SCENE 1. 1—Enter Sloun.

A very large number of their friends were present, and the evening was spent in a very enjoyable manner. Coffee roasted every morning at Lawrence Tea Store, 917 Massachusetts street.

Robert Weidonsall, western secretary of the International committee of the Y. M. C. A., was in the city last week. He reports the work throughout Kansas in a specially prosperous condition. Every time a student sniffs the delicious aroma of the fresh roasted coffee at the Lawrence Tea Store, he thinks of his mother's breakfast at home. Major Whittle and Mr. and Mrs. McGruman's special meetings have somewhat absorbed the regular work of the Y, M, C, A. Albert Wagner, a graduate of the Ann Arbor School of Pharmacy, vis. ited K. S.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Vol. IV. LOCALS. Griffith has been initiated and books Moore happy ever. Pan-Hellenic spirit is at a low ebb. The Juniors in Latin are writing original Latin stories. Hearts are trumps in Oread and a full hand of queens can't be beat. Lavender and pink were quite conspicuous in the balls last Monday. The Greek's view in last week's issue has caused considerable comment. Cummings holds the last position left in the Freshman class that of orator. Dunn is the last man to succumb to cupid's dart. It is a *Pittee*, but 'tis true. The Phi Delta Thetas have a lot of new badges. They are all very handsome. The studies of the second half which began last week are under fall sway now. Prof. kobinson reads the Courier to his class but strange to say omits the Latin in it. The Orophilian program this week is posted the same as last week's program. The Junior American Literature class has commenced studying a handbook of poetry. Prof. Aldrich gave an excellent lecture on "Schubert" Wednesday in the music lecture course. The COURTER receives more notice commendatory and otherwise than any other college paper. Joe Grover wars all the students not to let their studies interfere with more important things. Col. Fritz is out of politics at present, but will be on hand when the class of '90 organizes. Our soporific contemporary the Review has at last made its appearance. It is about as usual. The Junior German class will have to write a criticism on Nathan the Wise for examination. A good many students are taking advantage of the fine weather for boating and buggy riding. The new micrometer will give exact measurements to the one hundred thousandth of an inch. If the Editors of the Review will call at our office, we will give them a lot of fall poetry for their next issue. Prof. Carruth says the beginning German class will diminish greatly. The preps better look out for an exam. Miss Cora Emick a member of the senior class at Baker University, and well known to many of our students, died at Baldwin last week. Don't make any engagement for next Tuesday evening that will interfere with your attending the lecture by Lieutenant Governor Riddle. Dr. Nichols has lately received in the Physics Department a micrometer, made specially to the order of the University at a cost of $75 at Geneva. Mr. Chew, of the city delivered a very interesting discourse on the "Appreciation of the Productions of the Old Masters" in the art lecture course yesterday. Work has been begun on Oread avenue, and a large force of men and teams are employed. When completed this will be the most popular drive in the city. It has been suggested that an elevator be put in the University building. It would be a great accommodation to those who have to go up to the third story so much. Senator Riddle who lectures next Tuesday evening is a Phi Psi. The boys ought to turn out in a body, without regard to the fact that Riddle is a very interesting speaker. An electro-magnet, made at the Cornell shops, through the kindness of Prof. Anthony, of Cornell, was received by the Physics Department last week. It was made by special order and at a cost of $100. The Seniors made a desperate attempt to be funy, Wednesday, and the whole class skipped M. and M. Philosophy. They got scared, however, and went back before the hour was over. Poor old '86. Our freshmen are original men. The preamble of their constitution No. 2 reads: We the freshmen of the U. of K., in order protect ourselves from the Sophmores and other Vandals, do ordain, etc. How will the present class take this next year. The Hillside club counts among its members, Mr. B. W. Woodward and family, Mr. Woodward gave the boys a big treat the other day, oysters and celery for sixty. Think of that boys when debating whether to treat your girl to a half stew or not. The chapel rhetoricals for next week are posted as follows: Monday, A. D. Kennedy, Alice Penfield; Tuesday, F. C. Keys, Sophia Smith; Wednesday, R. E. Leonard, Helen Myers; Thursday, Laura O'Brien, Julius Liepman; Friday, E.G. Blair, Fannie Pratt. The contestants in the challenge oratorical contest between Oread and Orophian have decided to meet two weeks from this evening in the chapel. This will undoubtedly be a rare treat for admirers of oratory as the participants will have had a considerable length of time for preparation. We are most happy to announce that the University lecture course will begin next Tuesday. Hon. A P. Riddle, lieutenant-governor of Kansas, will speak on the subject. "In the Beginning" The lecture will begin at eight o'clock. Mr. Riddle is an excellent speaker, and no one should miss hearing him. We clip the following from the Hamilton College Monthly: “The beauty of the average Hamilton girl is without ”. Her eyes are like **; her are small and shapely; her manner is ___ ing; and when we see we we hanker to em ___ her.” To this we would add that a man would be an * his chances when the precepress is nigh, for a † would surely make him .got a chance to ,t him.

The congratulations of her classmates and many friends are extended to Mrs. and Mr. Kelly And with guileless smile insists. Room for two in plentv. Eyes with laughter gleaming Glancing up so slyly; Under hat's wide sheltering brim Lips just parted shyly. Mrs. Florence Fluch-Kelly is the superlatively happy mother of a fine healthy baby boy. The youthful master Kelly certainly makes his entree to the arena of this life under the most favorable auspices. The biographies of great men make much of the mother influence. And if this instance be not the exception to the rule, the patience, perseverance, industry, nobility of character and intellectual superiority of Mrs. Kelly will so direct the career of her son that the future annals of the great Wicked youth now cometh.

Prof in physics adjusting a wire to the electric clock. Wire joins the circuit and rings the bells over the entire building in the middle of the hour. Profs all dismiss their classes except the prof. of history who rushes into the physics department watch in hand and demands an explanation. Prof. of physics, with week face replies "don't know unless some prep has been fooling with the clock." SCENE 1. Prof. in history goes back triumphant swearing eternal vengeance on all preps. Prop. in physics goes down into the dark room to analyze his sensations. We find to our sorrow that the sidelier clock in our observatory belongs to the U. S. soast survey, the clock together with a transit instrument having been loaned to the University. The clock is a very fine instrument and cannot be easily replaced. The transit does not amount to much. WHAT THE COURRIER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. How many boys will take their girls to the Pan-Hellenic banquet? How the Juniors liked Prof. Robinson's lecture on the Italian metho 01? If Fritz is a descendant of the house of David? Why Elwell looks so happy now? Who got the cigars on Higgins' sword? SCENE III. SCENE II. If Prof. Carruth is happy over he lecture course? What was the matter with the Seniors, Wednesday? How many hours Dunn puts in (H) all options? If Perlee is the biggest man at Ann Arbor? Where the new boat club practices? Where the new boat club practices? If there are any vacancies in the boat club? If they can't be easily filled if there are any? When the oratorical executive committee is going to do something? When the pompous Senior will join with the festive "nigger" and don the plug? If the political schemers aren't ready to give us some new excitement? What has become of the societies' pictures of Bayard? If Governor Riddle's lecture won't be a riddle, "In the beginning" and in the end. VIEWS. ED. VIEWS—In your last issue was an article on "Fraternity Clanism." The writer evidently has “something on his mind.” He has been slighted by the “Frats” and vents his spleen on them in a very ferocious manner. He certainly does the “Frats” a very great injustice, when he say their primary object is for the purpose of taking undue advantage of those who do not wish to join. Here he makes a mistake. Can the few take advantage of the many? No, let the “many” act in concert as the members of “Frats” do, and then there will be less cause for such a feeling of being run over. He calls them “dudes” and “demagogues.” Does he not know that some of the best men of the University are the “Frats?” I do not say the best, but as good as any. Good scholarship is one of the things necessary for membership. They may manipulate politics as he says; but some one must do it. If the “Barbs” do not take hold, why then there is no one else to do it but the Frats. I think all that is wrong in the gentleman is an excess of “spleu.” EDITOR VIEWS; — I saw with pleasure in the last COURTER the view signed "A Greek," and take this first opportunity of endorsing it as a step in the right direction. As he says, I am not opposed to sociability in the frats, when properly regulated, but the custom of having "informal dances" in secret society halls may not be wrong in itself, but still it gives gossip a handle. A STUDENT. The advice of Laertes to his sister might be quoted here; Fear it, Ophelia; fear it, my dear sister. And keep you in the rear of your af feeion. section. Out of the shot and danger of desire. The chariest maid is prolonged enough. If she unmasks her beauty to the be wary, then; best safety lies in fear; Youth of itself rebels, though none ne else near" —Act I, See, III. "A GREEK." EDITOR VIEWS—In last week's issue "A Greek" takes a stand on a question which has long been in my mind. There are at least two of the leading "frats" in the University that will uphold him in his views. I think the sooner all the "frats" take heed and follow out the suggestions made by "Greek" the better it will be for all concerned. I know of one "frat" that has already adopted the plan suggested, and others cannot follow its * * * PERSONAL Snider's whiskers are looming up. W. L. Kerr left Ottawa Saturday.

Edwards, pastor of the Baptist church in Anthony, Kan., visited their Phi Delt brothers at the University Monday. Clifford C. Baker, of the Topeka Commonwealth, and Secretary of the State Senate, visited the University building Thursday morning, during a short stop in the city, on his way to Ottawa. After a sightseeing trip throughout all the departments, he expressed himself as highly pleased with our beloved K. S. U. The Courier would be pleased to see Mr. Baker again in our balls at an early day, and make a more extended visit. Misa Sipe of Topcka, the blind girl, who was anxious to enter the University at the opening of the term has succeeded in making arrangements with Miss Sabin for the reading of her lessons. She takes the lessons down by a short hand arrangement as they are read to her, retaining the impression as her text. Her studies are English, Natural Philosophy and French. Miss Sipe deserves great credit for her energy and pluck in overcoming difficulties and we wish her all the success that she merits. Students wanting the Best Quality of Coal should call on FRANK A.

WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER The largest College Journal orientation in the United States. PUBLISHED BY UNIVERSITY CURIEER COMPANY .Every Friday Morning. J. BULLIVAN, *President.* | ROSS WEMPLE, *Scipy* --the beginning of this year we really had hoped a little journalistic spirit for a change in its career this year, but we fear our hopes were groundless. The issues that far outside of the editorial department have seen flimsy to "sea-sickness." An organ so supported by the Board of Regents as *The Review* now is, its management not required to give it more attention financially than it does should be a publication of which K. S. U. might be proud. Compared with the other journalistic spiral shown in K. S. U., entirely dependent upon itself for support we will leave the merits of our E. C. to a candid public. EDITORIAL STAFF.

Entered at the Post Office of Lawrence, Kan. as, as second class matter. LAWRENCE JOURNAL COMPANY, K, S, U, should have a permanent endowment. FRATERNITY rule is receiving some severe stabs nowadays. SNOW HALL will be one of the most beautiful buildings for its size in the State. THE COURIER extends thanks to the city of Lawrence in behalf of the students of K. S. U, for its work on Robinson avenue. With pleasure THE COURIER this issue gives space in its Views columns to assaults upon itself on the fraternity question. Only through want of space have we been compelled this week to omit some. ANN ARBOR students are making themselves notorious just now by a useless quarrel with the city police. Some have been arrested, and the end is not yet. We are glad our students never disgrace K, S.U. in this manner. PROF. SPRING's "History of Kansas" has attracted much attention throughout the country, and has been largely commended. We notice many praises of the book as regards history, but the author's style has been somewhat criticized occasionally. THE COURRIER, in its broad-guaged view of fraternity-political matters in K. S. U., aggressive as it is thereon, cannot endorse all the sentiments in its Views columns, tendered by enthusiastic reformers of the day, but it—"straws tell which way the wind blows." EVERY student, who wishes to learn to speak well, should attend chapel regularly. By hearing others speak, he can learn much sooner himself, and especially if he be a lower classman, he can gain much by watching the performance of more advanced students. CALIFORNIA is to have a new University. Senator Stanford has devoted a ranch valued at five million dollars, situated thirty miles from San Francisco, to its endowment, and he will add about fifteen millions in money besides. This is a splendid donation to draw on, and the college should begin a useful career the day its doors are opened. The Senator has indeed made a commendable use of his wealth; yet it seems to us that it would have been wiser to have bestowed the money on some institution already established, instead of increasing the number of the already too numerous colleges of the United States. The old fossilization, The Review, appeared last Friday for November. We are pleased to see it has at last, after a year's consideration, come to its senses as to the Kansas Review-Courier "consolidation" of '85-'86, No.VII, instead of II. Its simpering career of last year, floating on its title page "Successor to Kansas Review and University Courier," filled all with disgust. Upon its throwing off this sickening claim We are blessed with an excellent department in science, but think there is imperative need of extension in one branch of this department. Geology is woefully neglected, while other branches are fully taught, and great interest is aroused. Geology is, in our opinion, one of the most instructive, as well as interesting studies in the whole curriculum; yet it is given less attention than almost any other. Nor is it possible that it should claim more attention when the instruction given is so meagre. It seems strange that so important a subject should be placed in the Senior year as an optional, giving only ten weeks time, and taught by a professor whose time is fully occupied with other subjects. Professor Snow has neither time nor opportunity for making geology more prominent and more popular with the students. We have a fair cabinet and many valuable and interesting specimens; what we need now is a regular professor, who will devote his time to this one study. Then, again, it should be made a required study, and opportunity should be given for special work. We have turned out a number of specialistists in other departments, but not one, we believe, in this. THE telegram announcing the arrest of P. R. Bennett at Ann Arbor has been much talked of for the past week. From letters written by Geo. Watson and J. G. Smith, who are attending school there, the Courier is enabled to give a correct account of the difficulty. It seems that there has been for some time past an antipathy between the Ann Arbor police and and the students of the University, and upon several occasions students have been arrested upon the most trivial charges. The students are accustomed to assemble at the post-office every evening to get their mail, and upon the Monday evening upon which the trouble took place the crowd numbered some five or six hundred. The crowding and pushing resulting from a crowd of this size gave the authorities (in their own eyes) an opportunity to arrest some one. As is usually the case, they selected a small, inoffensive fellow from Denver and marched him to the "cooler," besides using their clubs freely on some of the others. This, as a matter of course, was resented by the students, who followed the officers to justice's court and resolved themselves into a deliberative body to take some action to release their fellow student. The arrest, however, was accompanied by a goodly number of stale eggs, clubs, rocks and brick bats, applied on the heads of the "cops" by the students. P. R. Bennett was called to preside over the mass meeting, but upon taking the chair he counselled them to preserve the peace, and not render themselves liable on the charge of inciting a riot. They adjourned to the campus, where Bennett was elected chairman of the meeting. They adopted resolutions of censure against the police, and appointed a committee to take charge of the case against the arrested students. Bail was immediately procured and the boys released. A day or two after Bennett was arrested on the charge of attempting to incite a riot. The students are unanimous in upholding Bennett, and have raised $500 for the purpose of clearing the boys and prosecuting the police. The best legal talent in that section has been retained, and no effort will be spared in the vindication of the students. The law department, composed of about three hundred members, met and adopted the following resolutions: WHEREAS, Mr. Perlee Bennett, personally well known to many of us, has since his connection with the University uniformly conducted himself as a gentleman and a law-abiding citizens; and WHEREAS, We recognize that it is largely due to his presence of mind and cool-headed foresight that the gathering in front of the justice's court on Monday evening, November 9th, was stripped of its riotous character and violence prevented; and WHEREAS, Mr. Bennett is now most unjustly charged with the grave offense of inciting a riot, Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to Mr. Bennett and a copy be sent to Lawrence, Kansas, if not contrary to Mr. Bennett's wishes. Resolved, That we, the law department of the U. of M₃, in mass meeting assembled, express our sympathy with Mr. Beinett, and pledge him every aid and assistance in our power in clearing himself from the charges which have lost their character as a prosecution and become a persecution. (Signed:) COMMITTEE. ONE-SIXTH OF A MILL. In a recent issue the editor of the Troy Chief makes a very decided objection to the method of supporting the University by a fractional mill levy on the taxable property of the State, incorporated in the constitution. There was a time when Sol. Miller was regarded as an enemy of the University, but that time is past, as is shown nowhere more clearly than in this article. We wish therefore to consider his objections, and to persuade him and others, who look at the matter as he does, that the essential feature of this proposition is good. Mr. Miller objects to having the University or any other State institution taken out of the hands of the people. Undoubtedly he is right. Moreover, the University itself would lose by a change which would deprive it of the opportunity of going before the Legislature and the people every session and justifying itself and demonstrating its continued worthiness of popular support and general patronage. Nowhere has the hold of the University upon the State been more clearly shown or more surely strengthened than in the attacks made upon it by its enemies before the Legislature. But it is possible to avoid this danger and yet secure the benefits expected in the change in method. But the minute of the management, the details of the expenditure are left with the men who are especially delegated to oversee that work, and who are appointed with an eye to their special fitness therefor. The majority of the members of a Legislature are not well enough acquainted with college work in general, and with this college in particular, to be good judges on such points as these: In Michigan, to which we have came to look, and justly, for an example in school building, there is levied a tax of one-eighth of one mill on the dollar on all taxable property for the support of the University. This is not incorporated in the constitution, but is passed each session by the Legislature. Thus the control over the institution is not taken out of the hands of the people. Any irregularities are just as subject to investigation as with us, and extravagance can be as easily checked. Whether the department of mathematics is overworked and should have an assistant? Whether a first-class college of law can be carried on with three instructors? Whether the library should have one or ten thousand dollars' worth of new books? Whether the interests of our graduates demand instruction in Spanish? Whether the department of physics needs a new syren, or the department of Natural History a new manikin, or the department of history a set of the Bankers' Magazine? Yet often what the faculty and regents consider necessary in such lines has been reduced or stricken out on the motion of some opposing local interest, or some man who thought he knew better. In short, we suggest that in the matter of details, what the regents have approved need not be submitted as a matter of course to the revision of the Legislature. The danger Mr. Miller sees in the gorging of the institution with funds is not real. No one proposes a levy of half a mill. That would make an income of $120,000, but one-sixth of a mill would make $40,000, which is about what the University will need next year. As the state grows this will grow, and it is to be expected that the University will grow and keep pace with the State. On the other hand, when the State meets with reverses this income will be reduced in proportion, and this is right. What is there wrong about this plan, Brother Miller? EXCHANGE SPIRIT --strongly in favor of encouraging manly sports, and also a proper amount of class and college spirit, but we do not like to see this at the expense of the main object of our coming together here, namely: the getting of an education. It is our object to publish from time to time in this department bright and newsy paragraphs from our exchanges, and thus give a few of the ideas which are troubling the minds of our fellows in other College. The old fashioned exchange department has gone out of date—has served its time and been laid on the shelf. The Exchange Department is a fine thing for the Ex. Editor, but very little interest to any one else; and yet it seems hardly proper that no notice whatever be given to the numberless College publications which come to our table, nor are we willing to let all their brightness and sense slip from us without receiving any invigoration from them. So we think that you will find this department worth perusing, and from its perusal you will perhaps gain some idea of the ability displayed on other papers, as well as learn something of what is interesting other collegians. We clip the following appropriate remarks from an excellent article on College Journalism in the Adelphian: The collegiate paper is the best training school for the professional journalist which any institution affords. The necessity the student has of writing under a pressure of work serves as excellent discipline for a good journalist. Imperiality, coolness of judgment, quickness of thought and action are all cultivated on the Editorial Board. The merit of their editorial work has won for not a few students on their graduation a position on the staff of a New York or Boston paper. Every American student should take pride in supporting his collegiate paper, because it is essentially an American production. The German universities have no publication of the kind, and though Oxford and Cambridge have an "Under-graduate's Journal," it is edited and published by those unconnected with the universities. The following remarks from the Illini on "Class Spirit" come quite apropos here just now, since we have had so many howls on the subject, and manifestations of the effects of such spirit lately: Several of our exchanges are clamoring for stronger society and class spirit among their students. They would apa after the customs of so many of the eastern colleges, where such matters, we might almost say, receive undue attention. It is a mistaken idea with many that such spirit is indispensable to a college or university of any pretensions whatsoever. The western college student, as a rule, attends school, not because he is sent, but because he wants to go. He comes from the middle class and knows the true value of time and money, consequently he is not likely to pay very much attention to matters not directly connected with his work. We are The following contains perhaps a grain of truth, but we do not believe in any faculty supervision whatever in college journals. College papers should be published by students and for the students, as indices of student, not faculty, thought and opinion: In the search for the model college journal, there are questions which must be looked at. In the most of instances the rules of the college demand that nothing shall be published without the approbation of the faculty. This, in most cases, perhaps all is a more farce, for there are few professors who could or would devote so much of their time as would be needed to peruse the manuscript before its publication. Yet there is no doubt but that the provision is a wise one. College men are apt to be rash, and intentionally, perhaps, might write what would injure the college or wound the feelings of some student against whom the reof of the editor is kindled. The rule restraints, and there yet must be some liberty of the college press also its value as an index of the students opinions and desires is lost. — Transcript. Autumn Musings While there are many advantages in the present arrangement of recitation hours, there are some inconveniences about them, too. One of these is the long intermission between breakfast and dinner, which is about seven hours. Most of the students, I think, get breakfast at 7 o'clock in the morning and, if they live at some distance from the University, they cannot get their dinner until 2 or half-past. This seems to me to be too long a time to go without eating, and, indeed, I have consulted the best medical authorities on the subject and have found out that they agree with me. I think the faculty ought to allow us a access of fifteen minutes at 12 o'clock for lunch, and I will wager that the general health of the students will be improved, if this is done. Some enterprising student should set up a lunch counter at the U., for it would be well patronized, I am sure. We are sorely in need of something of this sort, and it would not only be a great accommodation to the students, but a paying enterprise to the man that starts it. Students always say they are weary when any one talks to them about the privileges they enjoy. Well, it is but natural that it makes them tired, but nevertheless they do enjoy privileges, and they cannot shrink the responsibility of taking advantage of them. Students are always calling for voluntary recitations and more freedom; yet it seems to me that whenever anything is voluntary they are sure to neglect it. This is the way with the literary societies. Now, no student will deny that literary society work is beneficial, yet a very small proportion of the students are active society workers. The literary societies are without doubt on the wane, and, I think, that if the students continue to be so thick-headed or thoughtless as they are now, it will soon be high time for the faculty to make attendance on the societies or provide tensions on Saturday for those who want to pursue its society work. Doubless some of the students will think I am too forward in proposing such a scheme, but if the reagents provide halls for students to use as society rooms, it seems to me that the faculty should see that the rooms are used by more students than at present. They themselves will soon see the necessity for reform in this respect, but if they don't, the faculty should step in and do something. It seems to me that one of the recent contributions to the “Views” contained a very discourteous reference to the lecturers who are so kind as to come to the University and talk to the students. It would be discoureous if it were true, and being untrue, it is insulting. On an average, the lectures given at the University are as good as those which would be given by a set of professional lecturers. The fact that a man is a professional is often a proof only of his conceit and his check, not superiority. It is also clearly beneficial for the students of the University to meet and hear the prominent men from our own State, and to learn how such and of what they are thinking. I hope no new student will be deceived by that article into thinking that the lectures are not worth hearing. They are well worth the time and the effort required. EDITOR VIEWS:—The processions made for history and its instruction in the classical curriculum of the University curriculum seem to me to be generally neglected and not on an equal footing with those of the other departments. To prove this assertion let me call your attention to the following facts, some of which have come under my immediate notice. In the study of Roman history in the Senior preparatory year of my course, one day per week for the greater part of the term was devoted to this work—the instruction however not being given by the regular professor of history. One half of the study was in this way completed in the term's work. I have been told by upper class men that the same is equally true of Greek and Roman history in the Freshman year—two or three week being devoted at the end of the year to this instruction. We are denied the opportunity of having the advantages of the general history in the Freshman year open to the students of the other departments; and only ask an equal representation with them in the study of history. While our classics give us "fluency of language, and our mathematics conscutiveness of reasoning and precision of thought," yet there is a space beyond a general education, to be filled only by a comprehensive study an knowledge of history.

SOCIAL A UNIVERSITY STUDENT MAKES A MASH, BUT GIVES THE GIRL THE WHONG NAME. NAME. A few days since a prominent University student visited friends in the southern part of the State. The train on which he came back was very much crowded. Among the passengers was a very pretty girl who was going away to school her destination being some place in Ohio. It happened that the handsome representative of the University of Kansas secured a seat beside this fair damsel. He was very agreeable, as was right and proper, while she was much "impressed." As she was going to school and he was a student, there was, of course, an affinity in their tastes, and what more natural than that they should be mutually "mashed." Before reaching the station at which they were to part, all the arrangements were made for carrying a correspondence. The woman had correspondence to tell him, but she had a friend and he addressed her to infuse the name on he allowed her to write to the other. The young Apollo returned to his work here, while the fair maiden, discussocate and alone real' on to her destination in the Buckeye State. But the young man neglected to tell Sullivan that should he receive any letters post-marked "X" that they were for him. Our readers can imagine the surprise of the redubricable manager of the Cowburn or going to the postoffice yes early to find, among his other letters, a six-page epistle addressed in a strange feminine hand. Of course he opened the letter and read with amazement the account of a young girl's journey east, how old she was because she had "no trouble on which to lean her head." Sullivan should have stopped there but he did not and learned that she wanted to exchange photographs with him. After finishing the letter, he investigated the matter and learned all the facts in the case, and now vows that he will answer the letter and inclose one of the photos of his handsome friend, and will have one of that girl's pictures. The friend is now disconsolate, and vows that he will never firt with another girl on the cars, or at least, if he does he will tell his own name.—Lawrence Journal. Who is the Apollo? MRS. JOHN SHIMMON'S CLUB TEA: The Ladies Liberal Club met at the residence of Mrs. John Shimmons on Friday last. After the regular lesson from "Draper's Intellectual Development of Europe." Mrs F. Gleason rend an interesting paper on a tropic connected with the lesson. Following this came the reading from Ignatius Donnelley's "Atlantis." At the close of the history program the ladies were invited to partake of a delicious repeat. Besides the members of the club there were several invited guests. The tables were respientent with handsomely decorated china and brilliant glass-wire. Every delicacy of the season was served, and all present were in their merriest mood. The table wittencisms were greeted with laughter and applause. Among those present were: Mesdemes Howland, Glestone, Stone, Bennet, Chadwick, Buckminster, Whitman, Rice, Ogden, Haddielson and Diggs. The Misses Stone, Bristol, Stewart, Woodward and Donaldson. Messrs. Chadwick Howland, Whitman, Rice, Ogden Donaldson, Diggs and Shimmons. The guests remained after ten discussing with eager interest, philosophy, politics, religion and and social questions, and departed with warmest expressions of thanks to the genial hostess for her delightful entertainment. MISS AIGE NOBLE'S LUNCH—Wednesday afternoon Miss Noble entertained her lady friends. The girls were engaged in social conversation when lunch was announced, which was most sumptuous. Very neat souvenirs were given at the table. After heartily enjoying the many dainties the company retired to the parlor where the evening passed pleasantly in music and conversation. Miss Cora Pierson gave some very fine piano selections Those present were; Agnes Emery, Fanny Pratt, Hattie Haskell, Jean Oliver, Angie Looge, Lula Dunn, Hattie Dunn, Bersha Argo, Mand Mansfield, Mary Eidemiller, Maggie Eidemiller, Ella Hynes, Carrie Marks, May Webster, Cora Pierson, Miss Hynes, Mesdames Beauty and Gregg. The ladies all buy their candies of Grosscup—Eldridge House block SCHAUM. The second of what promises to be a series of little folks parties during the year was given at the home of Mr. Harry Schaum last Friday evening. With dancing and innocent games generally until the hands of the clock pointed to eleven, the little folk enjoyed themselves as only l. f. can. The affairs of the "old folk" present were a very secondary consideration throughout the evening. Notwithstanding this however they report a very enjoyable time. Among those present were: Misses Annie Stewart, Marcella Howland, Stella Hines, Carrie McEwen, Bella Sinclair, Rilla Van Hozen, Donnie Bowersock, Burkee Bowersock, Jean Bowersock. Alice Hutchings and Madge Shunn, hostess. Masters Hal Noble, Bert Rankin, Tracy Leonard, Oscar Leonard, Albert Flinton, Jus Bowersock, Fred. Dickg, Mr. and Mrs. Parke, Osban Shannon, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Bowersock, Mr. and Mrs. Vap Hoesen, Mr. and McEwen, Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair, Mr. and Mrs. Diggs, John Hutchins, Joseph Hughes. Saturday evening, in response to invitations to a musical soiree, some of the friends of Prof. and Mrs. Carruth assembled at their home. To any one knowing the Prof. and his wife, it is useless to say the evening was spent delightfully as their charming way of entertaining is widely known. During the evening, refreshments were served and heartily enjoyed by all. The program was a rare treat as some of our musicians of best repute were there and assisted in making it very enjoyable. Prof. Aldrich, Prof. McDonald, Mr. Swope, Prof. Wilcox, Miss Gore, Miss Nellie Thacher, Mrs. Nichols and others contributed to the evening's entertainment. Those present were: Meidames Marvin, Bates, Whitehead, Nichols, Thacher, Dyche and Carruth, Misses Mollie and Nellie Thacher, Mannie Simpson, Hattie Haskell, Lizzie Marvin, Agnes Wright, Mabel Gore, Addie, Jennie and Helen Sultill, Profs. Aldrich, Macdonald, Wilcox, Dyche, Carruth, Messrs. Earl Swowe, C. S. Gleed and J. W. Gleed of Topela. PAN-HELLENIC. Last Saturday evening the Greek letter societies each appointed a delegate to consider the desirability of having a Pan Hellenic banquet. Mr. J. B. Lippincott, for Beta Theta Pi; Jep Davis for Phi Delta Theta; R. Horton for Phi Gamma Delta; Frank Marsnall for Sigma Nu; R. L. McAlpine for Sigma Chi, and F. D. Hutchings for Phi Kappa Psi, met in the Phi Kappa Psi hall Tuesday afternoon to consider the matter. On motion of Mr. Hutching, Mr. Davis was chosen presiding officer, Mr. Horton moved that a Pan Hellenic banquet be held on the first Friday of the second session. When the ballots were counted it was found that there were three votes for the motion and three against. As this indicated that there was a division among the fraternities it was decided to make adverse report to the various chapters represented by the committee. ETTA HADLEY. Last Friday evening Miss Etta Hadley gave a ten party at her house, in honor of Miss Grace Pickering of Olathe. Her sisters in Kappa Kappa Gamma were the only ones present. The evening was pleasantly spent in converse, games, music and other delightful amusements. The Kappas are widely famed as entertainers, and their entertainments among themselves are no less charming. Those present were: Etta Hadley, Birdie Starr, Eva Howe, Mamie Henshaw, Cora Henshaw, Evelyn Smith, Mable Wemple, Lillian Freeman, Laura O'Brien, Julian Powell, Kate Powell, Lillian Wirgs, Annie McKluan; Carrie Fisher, Wichita; Grace Pickering, Olatha; Lou Palmer, Nellie Palmer, Mamie Simpson. THE COUGH is this week under great obligations to. Miss Maud Mansfield for kindly services in its Social Department. Special care will be given by Mr. Grossup in furnishing confectionery for all parties, socials, and the like. MRS. ALEX. LOVE. — Last week Mrs. Alex. Love gave a large and fashionable party at her pleasant home. The evening was spent in social converse and other ways dear to the feminine heart. None of the sterner sex were present, but the fifty ladies present spent the time most pleasantly. Of those in attendance ye social editor obtained the following names; Mendames Daily, Russell, Noble, Henley, Perkins, Barker, Warne, Spencer, Burr, Prestiff, Tabor, Busch and Simpson of Wwyandotte, Hadley, Robinson, Woodward, Sands, Darrow, Bailey, Borgalthaus, Osmond, Pierson, Johnson, Griffith, Wright, Sinclair, Barnes, Banks, Snow, Riggs, Tistale, Geo. Innes, Collins, Mansfield, Simpson, Lewis, John Haskell, Ross, Cook, Miller, Grant, Hutchings, Bassett, Edelmiller, Halloway A very pleasant little company was given by Prof. and Mrs. Nichols Wednesday, in honor of Doctor and Mrs. Sayre. The genial host and hostess did everything to make the evening delightful. After elegant refreshments the company passed the time most agreeably in whist-playing, social conversation, and in listening to the beautiful singing by Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Nichols. Those present were Dr. and Mrs. Sayre, Dr. and Mrs. Bailey, Prof. and Mrs. Carruth, Dr.Wilcox, Mr. and Mrs. Bates, Mrs. J. K. Dunn, Miss Dunn, and Miss Hattle Titus. The Zodiac Literary Club held a very interesting meeting at Miss Jo March's, Tuesday. Mrs. John Hutchings led the meeting. Miss Carrie Watson read an excellent article on "John Huss." Mrs. Lippincott read a very good paper on the "Pauper Colonies in the Netherlands." Mrs. Tremper also an interesting article on "Friedrich von Logan." The society meets at Mrs. Lippincott's next week, when Prof. Carnuth will favor them with a lecture on "Lessing." --time for action! He "skips" his classes more than ever, walks the corridors more than ever, and with more girls than ever, electionering. Combinations are formed with other fraternities; he agrees to vote for the other fraternity man for debater, and he in time is to be elected orator. Election day comes, everything goes smoothly, the girls he has talked to and the "fat, men" he has combined with, and the new men he has "rushed" vote for him; he votes for the other man according to agreement, both are elected, and the "barbs" are ingloriously "left." He has accomplished his purpose, and now he lays back on his honors, and goes to more dances, and more theatres, and enjoys himself generally; then another election comes, and one of his brothers is elected, and everything is lovely, except his studies. But these are of secondary importance, only to be attended to after other things are finished. And when examinations approach he crams for a week or two and goes into the examination—perhaps with some writing on his cuffs—and gets a high grade and is called a good student; but when he goes out into the world he often finds that the "barbs" are ahead of him and have usurped the best positions. FRESHMAN MEETING:— Meeting was called to order by President Allen. The constitution as amended was adopted and the following officers elected: Taylor Cummings, orator; Miss Kate Cummings, chorister; Joe Grover, sergeant at arms. The subject of having a party will be considered at some future meeting. --time for action!

To-day's Oread program is as follows: Declamations, Gertrude Hunicint, Josie Cooke; Readings, Ella Ropes, R. G. Kimball; essays, Hattie Haskell G. W. Harrington; Orations, T. S. Fritz, S. T. Gilmore. The debate has not yet been announced. Students should call and see Grosscup's fine assortment of fresh candies. --time for action!

The first few weeks of school have passed, and all the men have been "rushed." What shall the fraternity man do now? He first instructs the new member to vote for him in all coming elections, then borrows a dollar of him, and puts in his time attending dances, skipping classes to walk the corridor with his girl—also a fraternity member—until the coming election attracts his attention. Now is the EDITOR VIEWS: I heard the remark made not long ago by one of our young professors, that fraternity students were noticeably behind in their classes. Why should this be? The reason is evident. During the first few weeks of school fraternity men are busy "rushing" new members. They single out all new students who wear good clothes and appear to have some money, and then they tackle them. They hang around them day after day, trying to make themselves agreeable, and at the same time explaining to them the superiority of their fraternity over others; how many of their men have been President in Oreand; how many have been Masters of Athletics in their classes, or held some other equally petty office. They spend all day in this way and lie awake nights, after they get home, concocting some plan by which they may win their victim from some rival organization. They succeed, and the new student becomes a "frat. man." What an honor! He alone, among two or three hundred other new students, has been chosen a member of this honorable () body.

Now, I do not presume to say that every fraternity man does as is written here, but it is so in many, too many, cases. The fraternities have drifted away from the purpose for which they were organized, and they are at present little more than political organizations, which do not benefit, but rather harm their members. Let us hope that they may recognize their shortcomings, and improve, or let the growing dislike to fraternities be heightened, and they will finally fall. In either case our improvement will be the result; independent progress will not be checked by fraternity pwowess, and the student will receive recognition according to his abilities, and not according to the pin he wears. EDITOR VIEWS: — My attention was attracted by a view in your last issue signed “A Greek,” in which the writer casts a reflection upon the Greek letter societies, which, if he be a “frat. man,” as he represents he is, he knows to be without the slightest foundation in truth. Whatever false schools and slanders have been circulated against the Greeks in the past it has remained for him to originate the first instinuation against their honorable and gentlemenly conduct and indirectly against the fair names of their lady friends. What kind of thoughts infest his mind, who has been able to conjure up an evil reflection against parties so harmless, pleasant and refec! i? I leave it 'o your readers to imagine if they can. While I am writing allow me to speak of one thing more. It is in regard to the view on "Fraternity Clanism." Admitting for the sake of the argument that you have some grounds for your motto, do you think for a moment that fraternity rule is to be broken by the admission to your columns of letters so glaringly false in their manner of picturing the fraternities? You, or your correspondent, or both, seem to forget that "whom tie gods would destroy they first make mad." Be honest and fair and manly, and though you do fight the fraternities, which have often erred, I freely admit, for they are human, as the men who compose them are human, yet none the less have been square and honorable, which have shoed ened the hours and brightened the days for men a collegian, and have helped many a lad through school and made him more a man. Be, I say, honest and fair and manly, and though you do fight the fraternities, you can still command the respect of those with whom you come in contact, but you can only injure and lower yourself by spreading such reports as those of your last issue, reports so plainly and openly untrue.

John Speer made THE COUR- mber a pleasant call last week and gave us some kind words of encourag- ement. Miss Josie Cooke read a very interesting essay on Whittrier before the American Literature class last Friday. The new editors on THE COURIER, as the Lawrence Journal says, are among the best students in the University. This is eminently correct.

The following gentlemen will eat turkey with Charles Linley at Atchison, Thursday: J. D. Bayne, J. M. Engle, Bert Baldwin, Charles Gilman, Harry Gilman, Geo. Shane, Wm. McBride. They leave Wednesday evening. The lecture by Lieut. Gov. Riddle last night was well attended and highly enjoyed by all present. Mr. Riddle is an easy speaker and smooth and graceful writer; his droll humor and pithy sayings give an additional charm to all that he says. We were glad to see the lecture so well attended, as Mr. Riddle has always been a true and loyal friend of K. S. U. He held the attention "In the Beginning to the End." The Sophomores are mad. Why are they mad? They are mad because they have to buy another Anglo Saxon book that costs two dollars. They say they wouldn't give that much to understand Anglo Saxon. The military company drills at Frazier's hall every Saturday at 10 a.m. and Wednesday at 4 p.m. Ask Dunn who it is that sweats down at the Journal office. Chapel rhetoricals have begun again. Keys was the first sputter. J. K. Elwell, of Baldwin, will read a paper at the State Teachers' Association on methods of teaching writing. The Courier has 125 papers on its exchange table. On account of the various hunting parties last Satuflay, the attendance at the military drill was quite small.

As he pursues course, Undreaming of Thanksgiving Day A large attendance of men and boys assembled at the opera house Sunday afternoon to hear an address by Moj Whittle. On account of ill health he was unable to deliver all of it and Mr. Patterson of Chicago delivered the first part of it and Moj Whittle closed. The subject was "Prepare to meet thy God." There was much interest manifested and about thirty-five rose for prayers. Ocread quite distigusted herself last Friday, there being but one on the program who failed to appear. Miss Jo Cooke gave a very pleasing declamation, and Miss Lowe a selection which well merited the ap clause that it won. The other performance were equally good. New officers were installed. Miss Ropes now wields the gavel. The renewed interest of the members is quite encouraging and all points towards a more successful future for the society, that has won a majority of the declamation contests and has ever had among its member some of the brightest students of the University. Orophilian still keeps down to solid work, notwithstanding the hot battle of a few weeks ago. The average Orophilian is thoroughly imbued with the feeling that his rights are not to be trampled upon, and where it comes to be a fight is ready to maintain them. But when the fight is over both sides have the good sense to settle down to work without undue crowing or growling. and the society is none the worse for the temporary warmness. Last Friday was no exception and the program was given almost entire, each performer acquitting himself with credit.

REYNOLD' lecture on Aaron Burr is being well received by the State Press. PRESENT this issue of THE COURT ER to your friends at home, with the compliments of K. S. U. THE city council deserve great credit for its action in grading Oread avenue. The conversion of this barren hill into a beautiful avenue is a noble work. May the good work continue. --see a change made in regard to this during our elections that are to come the present year. The students know who are good men, and let men be elected on their good qualities and less zeros will be placed to the credit of many of our leading politicians. EVEN if the faculty does not manifest much interest in the workings of the literary societies, nevertheless it displays a liberal spirit in granting them the use of the chapel for their challenge contest of next week. HARVEY COUNTY, although one of the smallest counties in the State, stands next to Douglas county in the number of its representatives in our classic halls. This "little empire" furnishes three editors for THE COURIER. The torrent of invectives which has recently been hurled upon the heads of those political shysters, who have been abusing our college relations, has had almost beneficial effect. These demagogues have all hunted their holes, leaving our University associations secure and unreffled. Let us hiss the first mugwump who shows his slimy head. --see a change made in regard to this during our elections that are to come the present year. The students know who are good men, and let men be elected on their good qualities and less zeros will be placed to the credit of many of our leading politicians. ORATORY at K. S. U. is now at a premium. Unusual interest is being manifested in both writing and speaking. Every day brings forward some unknown orator to enter the lits. In the many contests and entertainments of this year we predict some rare treats. OUR University authorities are conducting the present improvements with admirable foresight. They seem to realize that plans must be so arranged as to place on Mt. Oread the grandest assemblage of college edifices and conveniences that ever crowned any campus. So be it. THE future influence of the students of our University upon the social and political events of our State cannot be underestimated. Here are assembled the future leaders, it may be, of the State. Almost every county is ably represented; and as our graduates return to their homes they will be honored and respected as persons who are worthy of confidence. The drell correspondent who recently clamored for some excitement has now all the opportunities that ever haunted him in his wildest dreams. As the wintry winds come on, the merry tone is aroused in the bosom of every one. Now, entertainments, socials, balls, concerts and gatherings innumerable make the year a happy one. --see a change made in regard to this during our elections that are to come the present year. The students know who are good men, and let men be elected on their good qualities and less zeros will be placed to the credit of many of our leading politicians. THE COURIER, under its present management, is a journal of the students, by the students and for the students of K. S. U. ONCE before we have spoken of the bad ventilation of the room in which the Senior Law Class recites. No change has been made. It is shameful to have students recite in a room when the air is as bad as is usually there. The person whose business it is to attend to such matters should see that a window is open and a little fresh air let in. We are glad to see that the members of our editorial staff have not become so much infatuated with that wild fanaticism for something new, which seems to be raging in the minds of a few of our students who are trying to find something about which to write. We prefer to be more conservative; to direct our attention to the correction of existing abuses, and the enjoyment of even limited conveniences, rather than to engage in a wild clamor for enterprises, which at present are impossible. LET no one suppose that we are endeavoring to discourage the so-called military company. Of course if a few boys wish to meet and march around together occasionally we have no objection. But the talk about getting an officer here or equipments is all bosh, for as we have said before the Kansas militia is full and no further application will be granted. We venture to prophesy that the boyish enthusiasm will pass away when the novelty of the affair is over, and the "military company" will soon be a thing of the past. Not long ago a few Orophilians formed a debating club of small membership. This is a move in the right direction. If societies, with a membership of twenty or thirty, were formed, not only for debating, but for general literary work, better work would be obtained. The reasons for this are obvious. But there is another advantage that would result from dividing Oread and Orophilian into smaller societies. Much of the wrangling now existing would be abolished. The different factions would either be divided among these societies or would form societies of their own, where they could fight and scheme and make the air to their hearts' content, without discomposed peaceable people. Let this matter receive careful consideration. AMONG the citizens of Kansas, who should be more thankful tomorrow than we, the students of the State University? Certainly, no one has enjoyed more bountiful blessings or greater privileges than we. Down deep in our hearts there is an indescribe feeling of gratitude for the kind wishes of friends; the loving assistance of parents who, amid the strife and struggle of life, have silently shouldered the burden of giving us such beneficial opportunities. Such a sacrifice can only be rewarded by becoming more dutiful sons and daughters. To our generous State, which here maintains such liberal advantages, we owe the debts of grateful hearts and faultless citizenship. And to Him who is the Author of all these auspicious surroundings we can return but one reward, that of puerile lives and noble manhood. But, doubtless, we may as well attribute a no small portion of our victories and achievements to our own individual efforts. This should encourage us to redouble our efforts in the future. Then, let us, as we retire from the festivities of another Thanksgiving day, resolve to redouble our zeal, to be more faithful to the affections of our parents, the liberality of the State, the interests of each other, and the mandates of our God. THE literary societies of the K. S. U. are by no means in as prosperous a condition as they might be, and therefore, they should not make important changes in their methods unless assured that a change will benefit them. Orophilian however, a few weeks since made an amendment to the constitution, by which her contest orators and debaters are to be appointed by competitive contest instead of being elected by the votes of the members. We very much question the advisibility of such a change, and especially so at the present time when the members are neither too numerous nor too enthusiastic. The competitive contest plan has often been tried in other colleges, and has not always been attended with the best results. While, acknowledging that the old way was far from perfection, it had nevertheless, as it seems to us, more advantages and fewer difficulties than the new one. Of course, with the old plan, there was a great deal of electionering and wire-working, yet the elections always bring with them many benefits by adding to the membership and materially assisting the finances of the society. When the members, themselves, elect their representatives those members who have aspirations know that their fellows are sitting in judgment on them every week, and they will therefore work hard in the society right along. But if the orators are chosen by competitive contest, the members who wish to compete will stay at home and prepare their speeches for the contest. We are not making rash statements, but we know these things are so from results here and in other colleges. For these reasons we think the Orophilians have made a bad move and we believe they will soon find it out. "To BE or NOT TO BE" has become the all-absorbing problem of our literary societies. The Oreads seem to have almost decided "not to be." The Orophilians, as a last resort, have made a grand effort to place their society beyond the possibility of failure. The membership of the society has been placed upon a solid and permanent basis. In addition to this Orophilians have organized an auxiliary department for the collection and encouragement of exterparate speaking. This is a commendable movement. Free and ready speech is one of the greatest gifts of God, and like all other of his endowments, it is the superb reward of great labor. We predict that this entertainment of the Orophilians will be remunerated by ample fruits. Oreads, go thou and do likewise. THE late trouble at Ann Arbor, in which our fellow student, P. R. Bennett, was implicated, seems to be in as unsettled a condition as ever. At the trial, which came off last week, Mr. Bennett was found guilty and a fine of fifty dollars imposed. From what we can hear, the officer who made the arrest had the selection of the jurors, and it was impossible to get justice at their hands. The case has been taken to the district court, where it will be conducted at the expense of the students. The prosecution is very anxious to compromise, but the students will stop at nothing short of an absolute acquittal. EXCHANGE SPIRIT. THE executive committee of the State Oratorical association met here last Saturday to decide upon the time of holding the State contest. Ellsworth Ingalls, of Washburn, is chairman of the committee; D. E. Cole, of Ottawa, vice-president, and W. Y. Morgan, of K. S. U., secretary and treasurer. The second Friday in March was the day appointed, and representatives will be present from Emporia, Ottawa, Washburn and the State University. It is not known whether Baker University will send a contestant or not. Prizes of thirty and twenty dollars were offered for the two successful contestants. EXCHANGE SPIRIT. There are in all colleges certain narrow-minded individuals, who know naught else than to prepare and recite their daily lessons. To those students of K. S. U. who are of this class, we would recommend the following appropriate remarks of the Beacon concerning persons of such disposition: "There is in almost every college that institution called the college 'dig.' He is, at the same time, the less studious classmates. He never goes anywhere, taboos entertainments and social gatherings, always can answer every question in the lesson, sometimes those out of it, and in time becomes a sort of living, though automatic, encyclopedia, the pride and admiration of his instructors. Yet with all his book lore, the 'dig' lacks what endless study can give him—a wide sympathy, a broad sensibility, which, mingling with his fellow creatures, alone can give him. He loses the pleasant recreation which relaxes the mind and gives it a healthier and more bony tone. The pleasure of giving others happiness by contributing his part to an entertainment is unknown to him. When asked, he really can not thik of it; he has so much studying to do. Poor 'dig'! He is certainly an estimable person; but give us, in preference, the cheerful student who never shirks, but at the same time can open himself to his fellow-students, and cultivate in his own life, as well as in those around him, a wider knowledge, a richer and broader humanity." OCCASIONALLY we hear of some new college started somewhere in our State. At such report we are anything but gratified, since new and rival institutions are a serious drawback to the cause of higher education. The reason of this useless increase of schools is largely due to the selfish emulation or misplaced good intentions of Christian churches. We can see no just cause for every denomination to have a piny nurselling of its own, instead of all uniting in the support of good institutions already established. If the denominations are jealous of one another, let them give all their aid to the non-sectarian state institution, which is well worthy of their patronage. The Epoch, of California, one of our brightest exchanges, complains of the same short-sightedness of the church in its State, and contains the following sound sense on the subject; "The genius of this nineteenth century is union or centralization. Whatever body or organization recognizes and acts upon this truth will succeed. In nothing is this more evident than in education. The church, ignoring this, has gone on founding weak colleges all over our land, and to-day complains because these colleges give no more substantial proof of success. especially do we of California need to take this lesson to hear; for, in characteristic pride and arrogance, nothing short of the highest has been aimed at. And now we see our state covered with inferior and weak colleges, a detriment to true education, a monument to the folly of their projectors and of the pride of the people. In justification of this it has been urged that many who would not 'go off' to college would attend if a college was brought to them. Is it then best to seriously cripple the cause of Christian education because, forsooth, a few pumy weaklings would not take the trouble to seek an education? Men who first inquire the ease and cost of the curriculum rather than the breadth and depth of completeness. For such as these, who in their indolent stupidity, are not worth the primers in which they learned their A B Cs, should a church cripple its usefulness to its God, to its State? THAT our subscribers may know how THE COURIER is regarded abroad, we quote the comment on it by the *Hatchet*, a lively weekly from the far West. The *Hatchet* has the proper idea and seems to appreciate the mission of THE COURIER: --see a change made in regard to this during our elections that are to come the present year. The students know who are good men, and let men be elected on their good qualities and less zeros will be placed to the credit of many of our leading politicians. "The University Courier may be classed among the live weeklies. No attempt, however, seems to be made to maintain a literary department, the papers being filled with locals, persons and editors. As a college newspaper it stands among the first." EDITOR VIEWS: We have been given to understand at every opportunity that this is a University in its methods as well as in its name. VIEWS The catalogue informs us that every student is supposed to be old enough to know what he wants, unless he is not he is advised to stay at home in the high school. In short, we are given to understand that "this is a University and that we are men and woman." I will cite an example and ask how it agrees with the above? A student is studying either French or German. His professor in that department is to give a lecture on the Troubadours or the Minnesingers, either of which lecture is as much in his line of study as in the line of the music student. At any rate it is a subject on which every ordinarily well-read person ought to be posted, much more a university student. Now, what is the result when you go to your professor and state to him that there is to be such a lecture, that you know your recitations and would like to be excused to hear it? He will answer invariably that it is impossible, that the faculty have especially decreed to the contrary; so the student, if he goes to the lecture, is credited with a failure, and if he stays to recite he misses an opportunity he may never again have afforded him. I would ask in all candor, is this living up to the University standard on the part of the faculty? For my part I much prefer hav- ing the zero in the professor's book than to have the blank in my own head. L. EDITOR VIEWS:—During my two years in K. S. U, I have watched with considerable interest the amount of trickery that is resorted to in our college politics and its effect upon those who take part in such nefarious schemes. There are some leaders in our politics who will stop short of nothing in order to carry their point. Who does not recollect the shameful proceedings in Oread last year, in the election of their June program? Their tricks then would have caused the blush of shame to rise even to the face of a ward politician. In fact, I don't remember of but very few selections during the last two years that have been free from such disgrace. Even in Senior class election fraud was resorted to in order to reserve the most honorable positions to a few of the chosen lights. The effect in after life is what is most to be regretted. How can the effect be otherwise than bad, when for four years a person has been resorting to all manner of tricks, deluding themselves into the belief that they are becoming shrewd men and making themselves capable of entering into the service of their country as politicians or new-paper men. The time when such shrewdness (?) is appreciated is fast drawing to a close. It teaches them to place a false estimate on themselves as to their value. This case will be like that of an eloquent lawyer, who harangued the jury for an hour or two on a case, but after finishing his flowery speech, how was he chagrined when the Judge said "Young man, you have made a very eloquent speech. When we have a case that it fits, we will refer to it." He had placed a false estimate on himself. He had received the highest honors during his college career, but what his gain? College politics are necessary, but then it is just as necessary that they be pure, and that every student stand on his honors alone, and that fanaticism be placed in the distant background. Every place of honor, I think, for several years to come has a man no to fill it, and with our present way of running elections, he will be place there even if the necessary number of votes has to be obtained in a questionable manner. Students who take part in these schemes do not stop to think of the harm they are working against K. S. U. Are the facts not published in our college papers? Are the papers not sent to all parts of the State? What is the impression created in the minds of the readers? I, myself, during the past summer, was questioned as to why it was that we were always engaged in political strife in K. S. U? Do the papers not make mention of the amount of time that is wasted in hall electioneering?" Does this not cause many to hesitate before sending their children here? They are not anxious to send them where they are in danger of receiving contamination, which may effect their usefulness in life's duty. I would like to REFORMER. EDITOR VIEWS: — I have with interest and satisfaction, the last few weeks, read your "Views" onaternity parties. I have long felt the matter needed just such ventilation as you have given it. None too fully can the "itrat" girl consider the Shakespearean quotation of "Greek" last week. The plan of holding random "trat" dances and parties in gentlemen's halls must be checked, and you have taken the right course to reach the desired end. May the good work go on. ANOTHER GREEK. NOTES.

At Bowersock's opera house evening of 28 inst., a varied and entertaining performance. From the Philadelphia "Daily Public Ledger." "The season at this place of amusement was opened last evening by McIntyre & Heath's Minstrels, who gave a varied and very entertaining performance. Among the interesting features were the solos and duets of Messrs. Dewitt and Kirwan, who played on all sorts of musical instruments; and the 'Clipper Quartette,' who appeared in an amusing burlesle. The program concluded with a one act comedy, called 'Way down South,' in which all the members of the company took part. The theatre presented an attractive appearance last evening, having been redecorated and renovated during the summer. It is estimated that there were 2,500 persons in the audience last evening. McIntyre & Heath's Minstrels will give performances every evening this week, and at the regular Tuesday, Friday and Saturday matines." On Friday December 4th the Abbot Opera Company plays an engagement at the Opera House. Miss Emma Abbot has always been a favorite in this city, and has increased her popularity at each visit. In view of the fact that her present company is the strongest she has ever organized, there is every reason ever known in Lawrence. During her engagement in Chicago recently, the theatre was so crowded that camp chairs had to be placed in the aisles, and even then, only standing zoom could be obtained. The production of opera here by the Abbot company, will be on a grand scale of magnificence, as Miss Abbot has spared neither labor nor expense in the organization of her present company. And in the costumes and properties used in the production of the different operas in their extensive repertoire. So far the present season collapsed all former ones in the grand succession of artistic triumphs. And praises of approval have everywhere been meted out to their popular prima donna and her excellent company. the leading artists in the company are; Emma Abbot, Laura Belloni, Marie Greenwood, sopranos; Lizzie Anandala, Bertina Flicke, contralto; Fernando Michelina, Agostino Montegriffe, Maurice Connell, tenors; Wm. Prinecto, late of Col. Mapleson's company, bartone; Giovanni Ronconi, basso profundo; Wm. Broderick, Angelo Barbara, basso cantata. The chorus and orchestra, under the leadership of Signor Tomasl, complete the most effective ensemble ever heard in English opera. The Abbott company comes but once a year, and all the lovers of light and classic music should improve the coming engagement. N Abe Levy's fo Don't forget Scarlet Under Layy.

DAILY.-The grand opening social event of the season was given by Mrs. J. A. Daly at her beautiful home the evening of the 19th. One hundred and eighty select guests were present, making a gathering in which only joy and merriment could prevail. The guests came early and the pleasures of the evening began at once, continuing until a late hour. Social games, music, and pleasing conversation made the hour fly with "speed of winged air." Some of the most elegant tights ever seen at a social gathering in Lawrence was the joy of all present. A partial list of the guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Innes, Mr. and Mrs. Woodward, Mr. and Grabowski, Mr. and Ms. Col. Noble and daughter Alice, Prof. Miller and wife, Dr. Osmond and wife, S. B. Hynes and wife, T. D. Griffith and wife, R. K. Taber and wife, J. S. Greig and wife, S. L. Spenser, Alex, Love and wife and daughter Alex, Mr. and Mrs. Toothnaker, Mr. and Mrs. Murray, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. Frank March, Miss Sue Miles, Miss Joe March, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Johnson, Miss Bershie Argo, Mr. and Mrs. Boles, Misses Mary and Maggie Eidemilson,Mr. and Mrs. Bassett and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Borgalthaus,Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Warne,Mr. and Mrs. Henley, Mrs. Benedict, Miss Mary Bradley of St. Joe, Miss Bewer, Dr. Miller and wife, Col. Jamison and wife, Mrs. Lamberson, W. J.

Mansfield and wife, daughter, Mr. Robert Osmond, Mrs. White, Mr. McCarnold and wife, Mr. McIntire and wife, Mr. Shearer and wife, Mr. Sinclair and wife. The first presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan's latest comic opera, "The Mikado," in this city called out a large number of our play-going people. As given by the Grau Opera Company, it is a very common place affair. They have no orchestra accompaniment at all, and there no slinger in the company that can do justice to the beautiful airs in the opera, which claims equal rank with Mascotte, Olivette, Iolanthe, or the redoubtable Pinafore. The libretto is witty, the music bright and high class, while the queer costumes, the curious positions, strange names and outlandish make-up generally holds the audience in a high state of wonder and interest. To be sure, there is very little plot, but the telling effects, satirical pencilings and quaint Japanese costumes affords immense amusement to the audience. Max Figman is a clever comedian and in the character of Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner, surely pleases his hearers, whether the performance comes near the original or not. Yum-Yum, the gushing Japanese maiden, who was doubly loved and caused endless trouble in consequence, was ably represented by Miss Amy Gordon. The remaining parts were mangled and crippled, so that it is doubtful whether the composers would have recognized their own off-spring. This burlesque on the "Mikado" will probably act as an appetizer and insure the better appreciation when we have an opportunity to witness a worthy performance. Following are a few of those whom we noticed in the audience: Dr. J. T. Moore and wife, T. M. Harvis and wife, Prof. Nichols and wife, Prof. Snow and wife, Prof. Stimpson and wife, S. T. Field and wife, Frank March and wife, J. H. Hill and wife, V. F. Boor and Miss Lillie Liebey, S. T. Glumore and Miss Josie Cook, Oscar H. Pochler and Miss Marcella Howland, C. S. Crane and Miss Agnes Wright, Denton Dunn and Miss Lizzie Pettee, Prof Wilcox and Miss Simpson, C. W. Straffton and Miss Annie Yarnold, Frank T. Simons and Miss Cora Straffon, John Robinson and Miss Jessie Whitehead, G. H. Harrington and Miss Mae Bassett. MRS. CHARLES DUNCAN — A very pleasant party was given Friday evening, from three to six o'clock, by Mrs. Charles Duncan at her beautiful home, on Tennessee street. The company was select and, with Mrs. Duncan's well-known reputation as a hostess, enjoyed the occasion very much. Among those present were: Mesdames Geo. Hyle, Geo. A. Banks, P. D. Popeneo, Col. Grabowski, Dr Marvin, Paul Brooks, J. Boughton, Dr. Lippincott, Wm. Rowe, J. Spaulding, A. G. Eidemilner, R. G. Jamison, Adam Oliver, S. J. Churchill, N. O. Stevens, C. S. Duncan, J., W. H. Duncan, H. L. Moore, J. Gillham, Howe, A. Mead, G. W. E. Griffith, Brewer, Chalfant, J. Webber, O'Brien, Miss Ferris. WINCHELL. — A delightful poker party was given last Tuesday evening at the residence of Mr. Herb Winchell. The gentleman greatly enjoyed the game until 11 o'clock, when an elegant lunch was served, to which the players did ample justice. These were Messrs. T. Pennington, W. Black, Will Coons, Dan Crew, Frank Haskell, and Winchell. PHI GAMMA DELTA: - Friday evening the young gentlemen of Phi Gamma Delta gave another of their popular "hops."

Cbme and see me LIPPINCOTT—A part of University students, consisting of Barlow Lippincott, Oscar Poebler, F. E. Reed, W. Tomlin, S.W. Shattuck, Yearsley White, T. S. Fritz, Mr. Greisa and Ed. Frnklinn went to the lake yesterday for a hunt. They had a very pleasant time, barring a few accidents of a more or less serious nature. We will not give the figures on the game killed, as the reports brought back varied considerable. On their return they repaired to the residence of Chancellor Lippincott, where Mrs. Lippincott gave them an elegant supper, with the addition of John Sullivan, who was present as an invited guest, on account of his well known sporting proclivities. Before starting in the morning an agreement was made that the two hunters who should bring in the least game should eat "crow." This honor fell to S. W. Shattuck and Yearsley White. The boys will remember this trip as a very pleasant one, and in connection with it, the feast that followed—Laurence Journal. SUSCHEE PARTY—Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Mansfield were astonished Saturday night at the unannounced visitation of a host of friends; it took many minutes before it dawned on the unsuspecting couple, the occasion of such a wholesale call. The ladies penetrated to the very inner shrine of the household and a delightful repast was the result, the guests having come laden with good things when the appetite was appeased. Mr. Love in behalf of the company, presented to the ancient bride of twenty years, in words eloquent in good nature, a beautiful French chin, hand painted, ice cream set. The bride duly responded giving expression to her appreciation of the exquisite kindness of heart that prompted this action on the part of her friends at this peculiar period of their wedded journey. Among those present: Mr. and Mrs. Russell, Mr. and Mrs. Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Van Hoosen, Mr. and Mrs. Daily, Mr. and Mrs. T. D.

They propose to invite the young men at stated intervals to partake of the good things they prepare. The present members are as follows: Bella Love, Alice Noble, Bershile Argo, Maggie Eidermier, Lyle Haynes, Sue Miles, Mamie Woodward, Jo March, Mary Eidemiller and Maude Mansfield. The Old and New club met at the residence of Rev. J.K.Dunn last week. Members of the Art League are expected to have their pictures delivered at the Art rooms, by 4 p. m. Saturday. Titles must be written on back of frame. The exhibition occurs Dec. 1, 2, 3 and 4. DIAPHANOUS CLUB—The ladies of the Diaphanous Club were informally entertained on last Thursday afternoon at the home of Miss Agnes Emery. The time was pleasantly spent until 5 o'clock, an elegant lunch was provided, after which the ladies dispersed vowing Miss Emery a delightful entertainer. Those present were Misses Carrie Watson, Hattie Haskell, May Webster Kate Stephens, Mamie Woodward, Cora Plerson and Mrs. Frank Webster. Miss Louie P. McClure entertained a select number of her friends at her home Saturday evening in honor of her guest Mrs. S. M. Brown, of Leadville, Colorado. Mrs. Brown after a couple of weeks visit returned home Monday. BOWERSOCK.—The third of the series of little folks parties of the season was given Saturday night at the residence of Hon. J. D. Bowersock. Owing to the inclemency of the night the attendance was smaller than usual. Those present however enjoyed themselves very highly.

Harrington; oration, S. T. Gilmore. An accident on the U. P. R. K: Tuesday delayed the arrival of Lieut. Gov. Riddle until too late to deliver his lecture. Prof. C ruth, however, took his place and read an excellent lecture entitled "Lessing, the German Poet." The sketch of "Nathan the Wise," was well received, and many of the students wished they were further advanced in Geuman, that they might enjoy its literature. Lieut. Gov. Riddle will讲座 later on in the course. The executive committee of the State Oratorical Association met in Lawrence last Saturday, Ingalls of Washburn, Cole of Ottawa, and Morgan of K. S. U., present. It was decided to hold the State contest on the second Friday in March. Prizes were offered as follows: To the first orator, $80; to the second orator, $20; Arrangements for the contest were placed in the hands of the Washburn association. The committee to select judges will meet in Topeka the second Saturday in January. The facts in the late troubles at Ann Arbor, in which P. R. Bennett, formerly of '87, is implicated, are briefly as follows: Two of the Ann Arbor students were arrested. A mass meeting of the students was held, Bennett presiding, which denounced the officers. They in revenge had Bennett arrested. He had a jury trial, was found guilty and recommended to the mercy of the court. The judge imposed a fine of $50. Bennett appealed, and his fellow students have raised a purse of $500 to defend him. Bennett is backed by students and faculty, and the police are laughed at. The I. C, convention met in the rooms of the Lawrence Art League Wednesday afternoon. About twenty delegates are in attendance, and the Sorosis may well be proud of the representatives assembled. Wednesday was devoted to effecting a permanent organization and transacting secret business. Wednesday night Miss Sue Miles entertained the members with an I.C. "grub meeting," which gave ample opportunity for the young ladies to become well acquainted, and see how charming the delegates really are. For Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday they were all entertained by Miss Maud Mansfield. The convention is still in session and devoting itself to business. SUBSCRIPTION FIFTY CENTS PER YEAR. PERSONAL.

We have enough to take care of between now and the Christmas holidays anyhow. Two contests, concert and lectures will take up all the time. But when the spring time opens the Pan-Hellenic reception ought surely to come off. We are of opinion that the toasts should be the smallest part of the affair, and if necessary to be left out altogether. Music, orations and declamations could be substituted in their places. We will speak further when the social term opens. The Iola Register, one of our wide awake State exchanges, in a reply to an article in the COURER says : 'Friend Smith will have to make at least one exception.

This "simple and effusive remedy" would cure the worst case of those evils which alarm our would be college reformer. The need of waterworks in the city of Lawrence is almost too apparent to make mention of. The poor system of drainage calls loudly for sewerage and waterworks. The convenience of it in private and business houses cannot be questioned; the need of it at every fire is always seen. The students can thank their stars that the University is situated far away from the cesspool alleys of down town. If cholera should visit this country next year, Lawrence would be terribly attlicted. The convenience waterworks would be to the University can be seen at a glance. We are dependant on the rain that is caught from the roof for heating and cleaning, and when the cisterns give out, water has to be hauled from the river. When the new building is completed more will be needed, and every year we will probably have to depend on the rain. Although Lawrence has made some progress in the way of an "elevated street railway," she should not be behind any cities of Kansas which have a much smaller population. Let us have waterworks. Freshman year of the Latin Scientific course of the University, and carries them up "bright and snug," as "Smith" will learn if he lives a year or two longer and stays where he is." Smith yet lives, and while he recognizes the Iola High School as one of the first in the State, he hopes his life may yet be sparred that he may behold its course placed where it lacks a year in German of being on a level with our sub-Freshman Latin Scientific course. The great ball of time rolls on. Great men come and great men go. No sooner has the door of eternity closed behind one distinguished person than another rises to take his place. And while we thus have great and honorable men, we also have another class of individuals which are commonly called "cranks." They come and go just as other people, and the community is always glad when each one is gone. But hardly has he been laid away before another is following in the footsteps of others. What prompts us to utter these words is an article which appeared in one of the city papers last week. It was undoubtedly written by one of these so-called "cranks." The author was either ashamed of himself or has said something which he does not believe. A *non de plume* on the important subject of the University being a "recruiting station" for certain evangelical churches, is certainly out of place. If the composer of the aforesaid article has said what he meant, why did he not act a man and sign his full name to the supposed expression of his thoughts? He claims to have made inquiries in regard to this matter, and finds that the students are warned by some of the instructors to attend nothing but evangelical churches. Every student will bear us out in the statement when we say that this is absolutely false, and furthermore, precious little time, if any, has ever been taken up by "recruiting agents for religious associations and exhorters," while the students were assembled at chapel. The University has a representative from almost every church of a national reputation, both evangelical and otherwise, in its faculty. It holds chapel service every morning, which students are not compelled to attend, and may be conducted by any professor who so desires, and is conducted by different ones during each term. If the aforesaid gentleman has anything more to say on this subject let his sign his own name to his articles an not wind up with, "So I Think." --proposed. It is that every mother should provide a mask for each of her daughters, something similar to those worn by base ball catchers. These could be locked on the girls before their departure from home.

This "simple and effusive remedy" would cure the worst case of those evils which alarm our would be college reformer. Rules should be laid down for the government of the contest and should be strictly adhered to. Let us have no postponements or extensions of time. We mean business. If we want the State University to represent Kansas in the inter-State contest, we must give our orator a show. Immediately on the return from Thanksgiving vacation, the local executive committee, in whose hands the contest is placed, should meet and settle on as early a date as is possible and will permit preparation. Until this is done, our speakers will not make a single beginning on their orations. The State oratorical contest will be held in Topeka on the second Friday in March. This is only three months distant. The COUNER only speaks the general voice of the students when it asks the K, S, U, association to give us an early local contest. As a matter of personal and college pride, our best orators should enter the preliminary contest, and strive to make the University of Kansas the representative of our State in May. Give us an early contest, the best orator, and we will all go to the State contest to hurrah for K. S. U. for first place. Kansas Academy of Science. Kansas Academy of Arts The recent meeting at Manhattan of this body of scientists, in was every respect the most important and enjoyable of any of our former gatherings. The hospitality of the citizens of Manhattan and resident members, was simply unbounded. The weather was all that could be desired; the attendance large and enthusiastic; the papers presented were uniformly "hefty," and of a truly scientific character. Our University was well represented by Profs. Snow, Nichols, Badley, Dyeche, Sayre, and undergraduate W. S. Franklin. Prof. Nichols was elected as our new president, and filled the office with much ability and becoming gravity. Proft. Snow led off with a paper upon his new pet, "A Single Bird Track from the Dakota Sand Stone of the Lower Cretaceous Period." This track needs confirmation by finding "another track of the same sort" before becoming a certainty. This "missing" track may yet be found. Our new Professor Sayre, of the pharmacist department, read a paper upon "Digestive Ferments," which was well received, and elicited much praise. As an essayist he is a marked success. Mr. W. S. Franklin gave an "object lesson" upon the "Curves and Lines Described by the Motion of a Compound Pendulum. Mr. Franklin is peculiar in style and manner as an extemporaneous talker. "Queer, isn't it?" And at the same time shutting one eye as though seeing the pendulum still swinging, and brought down the house by suggesting to the audience to shut one eye too, for a clearer vision of the subject. Prof. Dyche told us how his "dog Joe," "set" and caught several rare birds while they were out in the fields and swamps hunting them. It was suggested that the "dog Joe" be made an "honorary member" of the Academy. It may also be of local interest to further say that the "dog Joe" is taking a special course in zoological nomenclature while boarding with Prof. Robinson. Several students from the Agricultural college gave us papers upon fungi spiders and insects, which were well written and delivered. But the grand finale of the whole meeting was a banquet spread in the basement kitchen of the college, presided over by a scientific lady teacher $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $the art of cookery, the servitors being the young ladies of the school. It seemed like fairyland as we entered this kitchen where large bouquets of bright flowers from their much coveted greenhouse adorned the tables, and the fairies all standing around to do our bidding. W. S. Franklin, it is said, began singing "Oh that I had wings!" Not that he wanted to fly away, but desired a pair of the fairy wings. Prof. Nichols of course presided at the banquet and introduced the speakers in a very happy manner; and the entire University delegation acquitted themselves not only during supper, but in the speeches which followed, in a way which showed that they were "specialists" in that line also. Prof. Sayre was so full of "Digestive Ferments" that he only had his speech "read by title." Prof. Dyche was especially happy in telling his bear story, and was frequently applauded. Prof. Bailey congratulated the Academy in having Dr. R. J. Brown, of Leavenworth, present to represent our state institution at that locality. Profs. Dinsmore and Kelly spoke in behalf of the Normal school at Emporia, at which our next meeting will be held. A splendid time is anticipated there. Till then, adieu. J. SAVAGE. Saints and Sinners. I was standing on the platform of Media the other day. Media is a R. R. station about two miles from Baldwin. Baldwin is a village at which there is an academy called Baker. While standing on the aforesaid platform, I was highly amused by the remarks of a doughcke from the Bakery. Sand he: "I heard one of them University fellers say to-day that he thought Baker was way above their school. Now I think that Couruer would kind o' draw in its horns after one of its own students saying that." From his general appearance I would have wagered that the Baker doughnut had drawn in three or four "horns" during his visit to Lawrence. Prohibition prohibits (?). The Oratorical Association is a humbly. The students connected with it are good enough, but the purposes for which it was organized stand little show of being attained. The first contest, Mays, of Emporia won. He was ruled out on account of plagiarism, and barred from retreiving himself in a second contest. At Baldwin, Leach, a K, S. U. man, won the spurs, and came home on the shoulders of the boys to the tune of martial music and the light of bonfires. Baldwin was mad and burned the judges in eglify. Leach went to the Inter-State contest, but somehow his oration there did not secure him an ovation on his return. Last year Gilmore was sent to Emporia as our champion. Every student came home disgusted, with charges of unfairness at the decision of the judges which gave the state prize to the Emporia man. So from the beginning the contests have been profile of bad feeling. Furthermore the oratory called forth by the Association has been much inferior to that of the same individuals in our home literary societies. 证 One good college saint, doubtless a convert of Sam Jones, has risen to a sense of the immortality of the student hops. He has been to one and is grossly shocked at the revelation. He doesn't object to the balls themselves, but to their practices. Now it would be all right if the girls sat on one side of the room and the boys on the other; and if boys danced with boys and girls with girls. Instead of this, however, the girls unblushingly put their arms in those of the boys, and walked around the room. Yea, worse! The boys—the boys, mind you—actually placed their arms around the waists of the girls, and with their faces so close together—O, terrible!—that their warm breaths embraced, they whirled around the hall for whole minutes together! $ \therefore $ As a remedy for the pernicious practice, this hypocritical, super sanctimonious saint proposes that the boys invite elderly ladies to their hops, who may exercise a matronly supervision. Just imagine what an enjoyable time a boy would have parading down Massachusetts street with the idol of his heart on one arm and the mother of said idon on the other. How it would enhance his pleasure to know that he must provide hacks and oysters for three instead of two. How ecstatic would be the walk home, when all those whispered sentences, furtive glances and other things usual on such occasions were under "matronly supervision!" I can only suggest one improvement. That is that the gay Lothario should be required to adopt the Spanish custom and take the whole family along. Then the mother would be safe. $$ \therefore $$ Inasmuch as I fear a few of our worst sinners might object to the maternal supervision. I have an improvement to offer to the remedy An exchange remarks that a newspaper paper worn between coat and vest is a good substitute for an overcoat. Those students who can't raise sufficient funds to redeem their overcoats from Uncle Hope may get some consultation after all. Now is the time to subscribe for the Corrier. --- I notice that my friend who objects so strongly to any mention of the light-opera divertissements, was regularly on hand at the "Milcado" those sinful plays! It is a little amusing to notice that "mongst all the attacks on the Greek through the college press, not on word has been said by the fair bain against the ladies" secret societies This disproves one old saw—that "woman can't hold her tongue." I think it a pity that the ladies' societies do not go by some distinctive name. Sorosis is certainly the proper appellation, signifying as it does "a woman's club." As if in apathy to a name indicative of their sex most of the orders are the name "fraternities." Now any person ordinarily versed in English, and unqualified with its college perversion would say in an instant that a "sorosis" was a ladies' society, while "fraternity" was solely applicable in those who wore trawers. 塔塔 As an actual fact, just one college society, the 1. C.'s, go by the sorosls. Now I do not say that the fair sorosiemens are better or worse than the others, or just "neck and neck" with their rivals. I do think however, they have a more becoming name for their order. --- Next to having a friend sit down on your Derby, I don't know anything pleasant than to come of class and find your hat doing service as a foot ball in the hallway Still, as Dent Hogeboom suggests, it is better to find it that way than to find it at all. Dent knows. An accident appalling in its possu- tilities, occurred last Friday. Two sinners, F. E. Reel and his roate mate Tomlin, went hunting. B some wondrous chance Reed's grenwent off accidentally just as it was a exact range with the most prominent portion of Tomlin's rear anatomy Whether, as some suggest, Tomlin dermis is like unto that of the skin neceros, from which the sportsman bullet harmless rebounds, or whether the Reed's aim equals that of Tell, who hit the apple and grazed not the skin is a doubtful question God forbid that I should go beneath the evidence and speculate on such an embarrassing question. The facts are that the shot sped true their destination, taking off a large block in an unmantleable portion of Tomlin's trowers, but not marring the flesh. Nothil has equalled its seriousness since Prof. Watt, our chemical tutor, down on the sulphuric acid. From the feverish anxiety with which Tomlin denied a borrowed overcoat, one would have supposed the blood csealing in his veins. While the death was indeed a sad one for Tomlin, is the most triumphant in the blister of his room-mate's marksmanship. The happy thought that fill* Reed's mind. While hunting duck$, he shot a bird.

STATUTE STATE EXCHANGES. The Topeka Capital, the official organ of the State, continues to sustain its high reputation. It never loses an opportunity to say a good word for Kansas University. It has this to say of two of our boys: "The remarks of Mr. Chas, S. Gleed are plainly visible in the editorial notes of the first issue of the Evening Journal, under the new management of F.P. McLeeman." The Solomon Valley - Democrat, lited by a K. S. U. graduate, comes on each week with its usual inter- ing budget of news. Keys wields its successfully. The Minneapolis Messenger, is one of the leading papers in the State, under the management of Green & Fairly. May it continue to prosper. -ABE LEVY SELLS FUR AND SEAL SKIN CAPS The Chase County Leader, bright and spicy, comes weekly with its newy columns to our table. On this menu our Morgan tried his prentice The Clay Center Dispatch says that the naming of the new building "snow's Hall of Natural History" by the regents is a deserved compliment to Prof. F. H. Snow, whose connection with the institution has been one of the main-springs of its success. It says that the reduction of postal rates will diminish the revenue from four to six millions per annum. Also, that many of the G. A. R. posts now favor the changing of the services of Decoration day to Arbor day, and instead of strewing flowers, will plant trees, an equally appropriate and more substantial tribute. The Lecompton Monitor is a little mistaken when it says the Coordinator is trying to kill fraternities. The Coordinator is the students' paper, and is having no quarrels with the fraternities who allow fair play, nor has it had its advent as a weekly paper. The Oksakoba *Independent* is a good county paper, but we think its writer must have for his motto, "The pressors are nightly than the pen." The Kingman Leader, although less than a year old, bids fair to become one of the leading State papers. Its editor, B. S. Hutchings, one of our alumni, has the happy faculty of combining news with political and political matters. The Wichita Beacon casts its general rays over the Democracy of the southwest. It not only opposes prohibition, but censures the president. I ought to remember that "a house divided against itself cannot stand." The Atchison Patriot, one of the oldest journals in the State, is fully up with the times. It manifests considerable interest in University work, he copied our editorial on the new professors. The Junction City Tribune is a very readable paper. Evidently it is the production of ability and experience. The Emporia Republican but reflects the enterprise that has always characterized Emporia. Says the Harper Sentiment: "In the final examination in algebra, which will be about Christmas, the professor is thinking of letting the professor of Mathematics in the State University furnish the questions. Evidently E. L. Cowdrick, Normal of S4, has not forgotten Professor Miller's memorable exams., and to get even with some of his pupils, will show them what K. S. U. quizzes are." For local news the Republican Palmieri cannot be beaten. The Chanute Times is sharply criticised by the Iola Register for running an educational column. Lawrence and Atchison Business College Enterprising young men and women who wish to secure all the advantages of a systematic and well graded course who wish to secure all the advantage of a systematic and well graded course of study, will promote their own interests by attending a reputable institution which is liberally patronized, completely furnished with all the facilities for improved methods of instruction, and has a full corps of permanent and experienced teachers, whose recommendations are frequently of the greatest value after graduation. The Lawrence Business College has a larger attendance than all the other Commercial schools in the State of Kansas combined, and the reputation of this institution and its success for the past fifteen years, are a sufficient guarantee of our ability to furnish our patrons with a course of instruction superior to that which can be obtained elsewhere. Our only claim for patronage is on the basis that we can do better for our students than any similar school in the West. Book keeping is taught by single and double entry, in all its practical and scientific details, and the use of Day Book Journal, Cash Book, two and six columna Journal, General and Deposit or's Leider, Bill Book, Collector and Discount Register, Depositor' Journal, Commission Sales Books and in short all the various book used in business. Actual Business Department is the department of experience, in which students get actual practice in retailing, wholesaling, banking, telegraphing, transporting, letter writing, managing real estate office, commission house, etc. The evening sessions are intended for those who are employed during the day, and the above studies are taught thoroughly. Students in either school finishing the course, will only receive the college diploma when they pass creditably the search examinations. Many improvements in the books, division of time and method of instruction, have been adopted, and the most rapid progress is assured. The college apartments have been recently fitted up with every convenience for the needs of the students, including a bank, and several offices for the transaction of the actual business practice. Students can enter at any time. For journal giving full information concerning either school, address. E. L.
