He *understands* they did so out of a reference to the revival meetings in progress. It is very likely indeed, that they withheld two or three lectures embracing a period of four or six weeks, out of deference to a sense of revival meetings which have occupied but two weeks. How beautifully considerate. The concluding portion of the gentleman's character view is marked by a spiteful malignity for which it is hard to find any justification.

According to such logic the honorable gentleman himself is deceitful and hypocritic in just the degree in which he is aware, and seemingly disinterested.

The new M, E. "University" at Winfield is nearing completion. Why in the name of Heaven they call such institutions as the Baldwin, Ottawa and Winfield academies "Universities," is beyond the len of man.
Thanksgiving is over and all are back for hard study till Christmas vacation. What has each given thanks for? For of us could thank heaven that the State gives its youth such an opportunity for gaining an education as it does in the University.

No better location for the University could be found in the state than where it now stands. The Commencement says, "Mount Oread seems to have been designed by nature for the purpose to which it has been adapted, and the grand seat of learning sits proudly, reminding one of strength, which is an admirable thing to think about in connection with a State institution."
The I. C. Convention.
Thursday morning a secret session was held, until the Sorosis adjourned to dinner at Maud Mansfield's. In the evening they all attended the Usher Guard dance.
The delegates to the L. C., convention met and organized Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the art rooms. Miss Nell Custer, the Grand I. R., being detained by illness, Elva Plank, of Mt. Pleasant, was made G. I. R. pro tem. After hearing the reports from each chapter, the convention adjourned until Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Wednesday evening the delegates were informally received at the home of Sue Miles. A fine lunch was served, which was enjoyed by all after the manner of I. C.'s. They were treated during the evening to a fine serenade by their gentlemen friends.
To the Papers of the State.
Some papers in the State when speaking of the Cocaine say, "published under the auspices of the University," or "published in the interest of the University." Now, gentlemen, if you mean by this that the chancellor, faculty or regents have a word to say in regard to the publication, management or editorial policy, you are mistaken.
The Course belongs to the students. It is ours to publish and edit, ours to run as we please, and fight over if we want to. No professor or regent, or any one but the student editors, know what the Course will say or why it says it. When anything in the University management goes wrong, or we think it does, we say so and give our reasons, and so long as we pay our printer, the Course goes on.
We try to support the interests of the University in the same way the Topeka Capital and the Troy Chief support the political party to which they belong. But we want no "monkeying" and are not afraid to speak out in meeting; have done so, and will do it again when we feel like it. By this time we hope you understand our position. The University Coronium is the students' paper, nobody else's; and don't you forget it.
"Good Fraternity Man."
A fraternity man talking about his own society is probably the biggest liar of whom we have record. He is the only man who can lie more than the fraternity man talking about another society.
To be a "good fraternity men" is not a hard task. All you have to do is to say all the other franks are franks and snails, and be ready to call any body who disagrees with you a fool or a liar. If you doubt this, look at the "good fraternity men" in K. S. U.
This "good fraternity man" is a delusion and a snaare. He is narrow minded, bigoted and unprincipled. The professors dislike him, his fellow students despise him, and even his beloved brotherhood find no complimentary remark which they can muster up check enough to apply to him, except the euphonious force of "good fraternity man."
The genus "Greek" may be a necessary evil; but no good reason under heaven was ever given for the species "good fraternity man."
This evening we will listen to what is called the Oread-Orophilian oratorical contest. This is the first time to our knowledge that the societies have met in an oratorical contest. Whether this will be an annual contest we do not know, but the way it originated is rather a peculiar incident. Some time ago one of the societies challenged the other to a six handed debate, the question to be chosen by the contestants. The challenge was accepted, and the participants duly elected. The question was decided upon, and everybody was ready to hear the debate. Time flew by, but no debate. The contestants, finding themselves elected for a contest between the societies, decided that there was more honor in an oratorical contest than in a debate, and have concluded to hold the former. This is rather a bold step by these gentlemen, and they know not whether it is the will of the societies or not. We already have two yearly contests, and to add another to the list we think is a little too much. Rather let us have joint sessions and debates in the society halls, and we would have less scheming and wire pulling, of which so many elections to contests are the cause. Then the whole program would not be laid aside for an election, and more good would be derived from the literary societies.
The Contest.
Tax 1-6 of a Mill.
We have just received a marked copy of the University Counci referring to the article which recently appeared in the Troy Chief, opposing a constitutional amendment making provision for the support of the University by a direct tax. The point which the Chief makes in opposition to the change is that the control of the University will be taken out of the hands of the people and that the institution itself will become gorged with funds. Neither of these objections is a valid argument against the change. A tax of 1-6 of a mill will provide about $40,000. This amount is needed for the support of the institution. As the state grows the University will grow and its revenue should not be subject to the capricious will of a Kansas legislature. Kansas has a large number of petty colleges scattered throughout the state. Nearly every member of the legislature from a community in which one of these schools is situated, considers it his duty to antagonize the University appropriation, considering that by so doing they are advancing the interests of their local schools, which they look upon as rivals of the University. For keeping the University under the control of the people, the best plan to pursue would be to make the office of regent an elective one. Michigan follows the above course, and were a similar policy adopted in Kansas we would soon have a school that would compare favorably with Ann Arbor. — Solomon Valley Democrat.
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving day of eighteen hundred eighty-five will be remembered as a day of gloom and sadness by the people of the United States. The flag at half must, the display of drapery, the tolling bell, the muffled drum. What means it all? The vice president is dead. The day set forth for pleasure and rejoicing, is suddenly changed to one of weeping and mourning. Letters and telegrams of condolence were received by the family of the distinguished one from all parts of the country, irrespective of party or class. A peculiar thing is death, and most noticeably in the recent case. While Mr. Hendriks was living he was not only praised, but on the other hand condemned for the deeds he performed in the interest of his country. Those who were but a short time ago denouncing him, are now the first to credit him with being a great statesman and a worthy public servant.
At the time we write the people are in a wild speculation as to who should take the place of the deceased one, and doubtless before this reaches our reader's eyes, some one will virtually have been chosen to fill the vacancy. It seems that the Republicans have a majority in the position, and no law having yet been provided to meet this occasion, one of their number will most likely be chosen as vice president. Public opinion of that party seems to have centered on Logan as the one to have the honor, simply because he was the choice of his party for that position last year, and did not succeed in the election last fall. For the latter reason we think he should not be elected. He might have been the choice of his party, but he certainly was not the choice of the people. If he is nominated it will be a test on the character of Mr. Logan. Through courtesy he should decline the position for the simple reason that a majority of the votes of the American people were not cast in his favor in the recent election.

He *understands* they did so out of a reference to the revival meetings in progress. It is very likely indeed, that they withheld two or three lectures embracing a period of four or six weeks, out of deference to a sense of revival meetings which have occupied but two weeks. How beautifully considerate. The concluding portion of the gentleman's character view is marked by a spiteful malignity for which it is hard to find any justification. He has no right to justice and consistency to imitate the sincerity of those who express their views on questions in which they are interested, nor to assume that such expression of opinion is prompted by hypocrisy. According to such logic the honorable gentleman himself is deceitful and hypocritic in just the degree in which he is aware, and seemingly disinterested. Let him prove himself half as pungent and enthusiastic as he advises the "unhappy wight" to show his self, and he will accomplish infinite more of good than by venting a cynicism on others. F.

STUDENTS VIEWS.
My attention has frequently been called to harsh remarks made about fraternity dances. Many of these remarks were spoken carelessly, some maliciously, while others were dropped by others who knew not of what they spoke. These dances have been spoken of as "too expensive for students"; as "taking too much time from the studies;" as "degrading in their tenacity"; and as "having a bad moral influence upon those who attend." I am a fraternity man, and a dancer. I regard dancing as a recreation far above base ball, foot bull or billiards. If it is "too expensive for students," those who attend certainly would be the first to find it out. The remarks about the expense come mostly from those who spend their time and money in the billiard halls or worse places.
As to "taking too much time from the studies," that is the most hog wash. I will venture to say that not one student in twenty-five, studies Friday evening. No fraternity pretends to give dances oftener than once in two weeks, and every student can certainly give that much time to social amusements. As to their "degrading tendency," and "bad moral influence," it is hardly worth while to speak, as they are so manifestly absurd. Degrading, indeed, to spend one evening in two weeks in the society of young ladies you admire and respect. The man who says that the influences of dancing are immoral is either a brute by nature or a bigot by profession.
We are here to educate ourselves in the broadest sense of the word. When we leave here we are supposed to be "educated gentlemen." I hold that the man who can not carry himself with ease, grace and dignity in the presence of ladies, is no gentleman. I regard the fraternity dance as elevating in its tendency, as well calculated to inspire noble sentiments and aspirations, and as an amusement and recreation the best and cheapest that can be devised. The only fault that I can find is that they are not held every week instead of every two weeks.
LIGHT FANTASTIC.
I believe I express the wish of a large majority of the students in asking the "Greeks" (alleged) and "Burbs" (perhaps) who are howling on the fraternity subject, to give us a rest. You don't convince any one, and you make us tired. If you must shoot off for the satisfaction of yourselves, give your poor fellow student a thought, and shut up.
Howler Vindicated.
STUDENT.
I want to take my Herculean club in band for four or five inches of your valuable space to defend my unfortunate friend who was so presuming as to dare to advocate the inauguration of a lecture course. I can see in this nothing to justify the savage assault made upon him. The gentleman's sarcasm was so withering and bitter that it must have been dipped in his own gall.
The gentleman insinuated that the major portion of the "unhappy wight's time" was spent in the halls or billiard rooms. A magnanimous innendo, which, perhaps, is applicable to the gentleman himself, as to the unfortunate object of his high displeasure. The next gratuitous piece of Solonian wisdom is the startling information that the lecture committee had very considerably withheld two or three lectures. They have been withheld very considerably indeed; but we shall give the grateau credit for sufficient sagacity to mean considerably. Even this, his defence, is characterized by an artless simple-hearted credence of bearsy
No one doubts the truth of the oma maxim, "As the twig is bent, the树 is inclined." Reasoning from this I say, "As the college politics, so are the national politics." If our students were to inaugurate a new system of college politics, or give the old one a thorough cleansing, the next generation of boys would not be the corruption that we every day hear our fathers speak of. I think a new system would be far better, for the old one is so rotten that I think it is beyond cleansing. You know how loud it smelt on the second day of the Freshman class meeting, and this is only one phase of its character. At the last election of Orophilian II displayed another side of its nature its savage ferocity and sly cunningness. The frats do not alone possess this; neither do the barbs; it is about six of one and a half dozen of the other.
The dangers of the State have been repeatedly set before us from the ruin of the chapel. But has it remedy of these wrongs and danger be equally set before us? At person can see wrongs, but who is remedy them? Should any wrong danger be pointed out to us with giving at the same time some remedy Where does the danger lie that have over our State? Some will say in the ballot box; or the canvass, when money and barter are used to vote; or in the conventions the nominate the candidates; or in the caucuses, where some "political boots" put in his own men as delegates the convention, and they say this done because the good citizens do not attend the caucuses. Are the stay-at-home citizens loyal to the State? But is there not a deep danger than these?
College Politics.
Now, barbs and fruits, you are the two parties of old K. S. U., and the whole responsibility of this rests with you. Which one of you will be the champion of this grand reform Either of you are strong enough to undertake it and carry it through The first one that publicly takes the stand on the right side of this question is the winning party. Any fine-minded student that will look at this question frankly will see that hideous beast (the present system of college politics) skulking around in unseamed corners ready to pounce upon any thing or any person that it thinks it can glut its vengeance. Arise and act. E.

But all this is figurative; to the reality:

On that night, that fatal night, how happy we were—our idol! and ourselves. Slowly we ourander homeward through Elysian fields, taking the dark side of the street and avoiding the gas lights.

I was sorry not to see more of the University students at the "White Slave," by far the best play, with no exception, that has visited Lawrence this year. The only one which can in any way be compared to it was the "World," but the latter only excelled in scenic effects and stage setting. It is my opinion that one gets measurably more benefit in every way from seeing such a play as the "White Slave" than an infinity of plodless comedy and sensational nonsense. I have little respect for the person who can leave the performance of such a noble play and not feel that he was better for having seen it.
The company was exceptionally strong and uniform and presented a refreshing contrast to the majority of the companies of the season. Indeed I do not remember to have ever seen such excellent support as was rendered to the noble womanly white slave, Miss Hooper's *Lisa* was a splendid rendition. The important and difficult role was well sustained; while of course not perfect, I know of no positive criticism which can be offered. It was natural, even and unstrained. But Miss Boker as *Nancy* the quohoron slave, divided the honors with her, and had she not ranted so much and been a little less violently emotional she would have surpassed even the strong, natural act of Miss Hooper. She had a splended voice, perhaps a little too masculine, but full of power. Miss Hooper was a beautiful woman, with a sweet, winsome voice which, however, did not lack strength, but could ring out at times like a silver bugle. But sweet, charming *Letty*! she was delightfully, bewildering pretty, but a little too indefinite in expression—like a frightened suumbe in a tangled forest.
Mr. Lighie as *Clay Britton*, the handsome, brave, generous but misguided Kentuckian, was excellent; but he did not belong to the usual order of heroes; he dressed too well. He should have belonged to a lower order of society. Mr. Foster's *Bill Lacy* was the bean ideal of a handsome, dashing, brilliant villain. To my mind he was the best made actor in the company. Mr. Lighie was too stiff and had too little dash properly belonging to a hero. But Mr. Foster had all the piquant abandon of a magnificent villain. There are other strong characters, but there is not space to mention them. The plot was not extraordinary, and of all charges that of being too sensual could not be preferred against it. Its excellence and superiority consisted in the strength of the individual characters, their unity as a whole, their consistency and the noble dialogue. The general standard of the play was far above the ordinary. The scenes were striking and natural at the same time. Altogether it was a play to have seen, was a treat, and to miss, a misfortune. M

The fourth meeting of the Association was held on Tuesday afternoon, at the residence of Kate Wilder. There were about twenty-five girls present and much interest was manifested. Flora Newlin led the meeting. Subject was Thanksgiving. All college girls are cordially invited to attend the next meeting, which will be held at the same place at 2:30 p.m. next Thursday. Miss Wilder will lead. Subject—Advent.
The amendment to the Orophilian constitution, in regard to selecting contestants has received considerable criticism, yet the excitement and personal feelings that have been aroused at elections in both societies showed but too plainly that a change was needed. The contestants should be chosen wholly upon their merits. And a contest in Orophilian will give all a fair chance, and will prevent combinations being made to elect personal friends. X, Y, Z.

Eb. VIEWS:—Permit me through your department to speak of a bad habit that is growing upon our students. I refer to the habit of visiting and collecting in the corridors during the time allotted for the change of classes. The time is merely nominal. It was placed at five minutes to accommodate those passing from the basement in one end of he building to the third floor in the other. It was not intended that a student who could pass from one class room to another in one or two minutes should spend the rest of the time in social enjoyment, or promenading up and down the hall. And again, as I under stand it, the class must be in their places ready for work at the expiration of the five minutes, and not just entering the door. This should be remedied. It is attracting the attention of the faculty. Let us take this matter personally in hand and the cause of complaint will cease.
ED. VIEWS:—A few weeks ago I noticed a short View on a much needed reform. In regard to the manner of marking in chapel, the writer voiced the sentiments of many collegates, when he said that the only fair way of marking was for the committee to sit among the students and note the expression, voice, gestures, bearing of the speaker. There has been dissatisfaction in the past, as well as at present, and this matter should receive attention. LIKE MINDED.

HIBERNAL HOMILIES.
The bleak fields, the naked trees, the crisp piles of of dead leaves, the cool, frosty winds, all tell that Autumn has gone and that Winter again holds sway. Every where are seen the effects of the change. The editor announces that cord-wood, apples and potatoes will be received on subscription. The poor families lay in an extra dog or two to keep during the winter season. The student brings out his overcoat and salts down his ice cream trowers, and determines the exact location of the nearest coal-shed in his neighborhood. Ye Autumn Muser is no exception to the rule. The wind is a little too cold for his innocent, confiding nature, so he begs leave to make his bow, step down and out, and let the Hibernal Homilist come in. We are acquainted with the Homilist, he is a good fellow. We ask for him your kind attention and generous pardon for his short comings.
It is time that the students have a room set apart for a study and vacant hour room. As it is now there is not a single convenient place to study, offered to students while inside of the building; nor is there any place where they can even stay with comfort. Sometimes during my vacant hour I go into the library, but if the librarian sees my lips move am immediately shown the door; arrived in the halls again I meet the chancellor or some other Pat. profiling his beat, and again I am fired to some place, no one knows exactly where. So I wander sadly and wherever I turn I meet a cold pair of professional eyes which plainly says: No welcome here. If I were a smoker I would be tempted to go out doors and take a consoling cigarette, but as I don't smoke I am deprived of even this resort. So I think the faculty ought to give us a room, where we could study and not be afraid of being driven out if we happen to touch a chair with our foot. Give us a room with lexicons and dictionaryes and other little conveniences. Try this and I think that the faculty will be spared from doing so much police duty, and the corridors will be deserted during recitation hours.
Again a series of revival meetings are holding in our midst. Unlike the old time exhortations they are more quiet and have it seems to me, a more truly devout spirit. There has been in the past, and there is yet great donot in the minds of some people, whether or not such revival meetings are really productive of good. They think that their results are not lasting, that they take no firm and permanent hold on the soul, but merely fire it for a moment, and in the next it is as cold, perhaps colder than before. We know the truth in this, but yet I think that they do a great work in siring up religious sentiment and thought in a community, even though they last but a short time. The meetings in question have been very instructive and pleasant and well attended. No doubt much good has been done and no harm, this you *must* admit even if you do not believe in religion or God.
The seniors plug bats have failed to make their appearance as yet, so I am afraid I was a little too soon in praising their enterprise. It seems now that their talk is all bosh. Wake up '86, and show your spirit if you have any, for I doubt it very much. Come to the front with your plugs, and carry out a good scheme when you start it.
Perhaps some of the students think I am too much of a howler, always exhorting them to pay more attention to literary society work, to show more college spirit, and various other such things. But nevertheless, I shall continue to make a noise until I see a much greater number of students improving more of the splendid advantages of K. S. U. I am not writing on these subjects merely to fill space, or to make copie, but I am endowing to assist the students in making power, the gift as get as much good out of their college courses as they should, and occasionally as I notice some neglected opportunity for improvement, I try to point out, in the hope that I may benefit someone thereby. So seeing my principles, I hope my readers will endure my howls with greater patience.

The fraternity system was found ed on a social basis, not political.
THERE is not a college in the United States, perhaps, in which the fraternity system has been so badly misused as in K. S. U.
THE COURIER hepes are long to see the day in K. S. U. when the cast-iron aristocratice social cast formed by its fraternities is broken, placing all students on a basis of legitimate individual merit. Such basis receives comparatively no consideration at present.
THE railroad corporations have shown they have some soul this year, and will allow the students to travel on half fare rates to and from their homes for the Christmas holidays. The students are to be congratulated on this, as it is the first time a reduction has been granted them since the new railroad law went into effect.
Is the telephone is for the use of the students, why is it not placed where all may feel free to use it without inconveniencing Mr. Little, and where it can be used at all hours? It seems that there might be a place arranged that would be as convenient for all, and where it would be a benefit to students and visitors during hours when it is impossible for the clerk to have the office open.
The grading of Robinson avenue is a grand work. It gives the city an approach to the University such as should have been had for years. Gov. Robinson, in this gift to our school, did a noble deed, and one for which he will be long remembered. Robinson avenue, with its shady drives, will in the years to come, stand as a lasting monument to his name.
WINTER is here, and yet no provision has been made for the accommodation of horses, which students are compelled to keep at the University during recitation hours. We have spoken on this subject several times before, yet the proper authorities have taken no action whatever in the matter. It seems to us a matter of absolute necessity that some shelter be provided for the poor animals, and we wonder that the affair has been so long neglected.
THE Oread Orophilian contest orations are coming off at last. The contestants, as it seems to us, have been acting with the greatest deliberation and coolness, to put it lightly. The societies elected these gentlemen for a contest debate to be given some time since, yet the contestents have had the unprecedented effrontery to change the entertainment to an oratorial contest, and to set the time at their own pleasure. It is a matter of indifference to us whether the program is a debate or an oratorical contest, yet it seems to us that the performers should present the program for which they were elected, instead
of giving whatever they please. Suppose the annual contestants should take the same liberty, how would the societies like it then? Of course it does not make much difference in the present case, but we are opposed to the principle in such arbitrary charges as this one.
WE are glad to see that the admonitions of the COURIER are being heeded by the literary societies, and that the members are taking renewed interest in the meetings. Oread, which had seemed to be fading away, is now on its feet again, and in a fair way to prosper. Orophilian, too, is still holding its old reputation for good work. Every student should give his support to one of these societies, as they are both well worthy of it, aside from the great benefit one cannot help but receive.
--creating values and accomplishing desired results. We think that it has already been shown conclusively that collegiate training tends to secure such an education. Not that a college education can transform mediocrity into genius, or brickbats into diamonds. But it can and does polish diamonds, and at the same time it smoothes and shapes even brickbats, so that they become more serviceable in the upbuilding of national character.
The young men who receive promotion are the young men who don't drink on the sly. They are not men who watch for the clock to strike 12, and leave their picks hanging in the air. They are not men who growl if they are required to attend to some duty five minutes after the bell has sounded.—The Artisan.
AND we might add that the men who are successful as employers—the corporations who are not troubled with strikes, the ones who do not begrudge their employees five minutes, thus requiring them to "watch the clock," "leave their picks," etc. The time is coming when journals like the Artisan will criticise the corporations just as freely as the laborer.

THE late unpleasantness at Ann Arbor closed with a victory for the students. Although the county attorney had succeeded in obtaining a verdict in the justice's court, his case had become so unpopular that he wanted one so help him let go. Through the agency of Judge Hamman a meeting was had with representatives from the students, and a compromise agreed upon. All cases against the students were dismissed, and the actual costs were divided. Bennett says he was out just $3.50, including telegraphs, newspapers, etc., etc. Four or five cases have been brought against Henderson—the policeman who started the row—for assaults on the students, and for perjury in the Bennett case. The boys feel confident that they will convict him of the last charge. The best of feeling has existed all through between the students and the citizens. All agree in condemning the police for their action. The Chronicle gives quite an amusing account of the whole affair, plentiful sprinkled with cartoons on the police. During the trial the students all wore badges with the word "JUSTICE" printed on them. Bennett seems to be the hero of the day, and is doubtless happy.
EXCHANGE SPIRIT.
In this age of brevity too many are apt to overlook the practical value of a college education, and say that it consumes too much valuable time. To these persons we would recommend what a thoughtful writer in one of our exchanges says of the benefits of, and time saved by higher education :
College students, under the stimulating influence of college life, grow more rapidly, mature earlier, and reach eminence, not only in the state, but also in the nation, sooner than the non-college graduate. Careful observers say that graduates attain a position at thirty-five years of age which non-graduates do not reach until they are forty-five. If this observation be correct, then a college-training virtually adds ten years to a man's life—ten years, not of childhood, nor of dotage, but of vigorous manly life. The college graduate, having ten years more in which to grow, easily rises to the highest positions and bears away the brightest honors.
Education, then, is the economy of force—it sets the people to observing and thinking, and thereby greatly enlarges their capacity of
building of national character.
The reason is obvious. For four years and under the guidance and inspiration of learned teachers, college students pursue a course of study and discipline which the wisdom of centuries has devised and improved for the harmonious development of all the mental and moral powers. Such a training in science, mathematics, language and philosophy, tends to develop the power of consecutive and continuous thought—of mental grip upon difficult questions—of concentrates attention—of sustained and patient effort, and teaches that success is sure, if waited for and labored for Campus.
Class standing is one of the uncertain things. It may or may not indicate particular merit. It may mean that the men at the top of the list have done routine, parrot work, have attended recitations, chapel and church regularly, and have carefully had every absence excused. It may mean that they have brilliant talents and carry out the honors by sheer force of superior intellect. Both cases are rare, however. It generally means that they have done careful, intelligent, regular work, and is, in so far, indicative of merit. One might almost say that careful work is the one essential thing. If, then, when the classes hear their standing read on commencement day, there should be any disappointment, let them remember that the probabilities are that their work has been the less thorough; that their recitations were certainly poor; but that it does not necessarily follow from this that their attentions are less, for they may even be greater; that the man who best fulfills the requirements of the marking system is not always the highest in scholarship; he may or may not be. The system does not claim for itself the power to decide that; it can only render approximate justice. And to condemn it on this ground would be to condemn all systems.
—The Dickinsonian.
Naturalness is the highest and most difficult attainment for the college orator or writer to reach. It is not a temptation peculiar to students—this permitting words and gestures to go far beyond the depth of feeling or soundness of thought, but it is stronger with them, from the very nature of their occupations, than with those who are more closely and constantly occupied with the practical. The book which makes you forget the author and leaves you alone with the truth, is the only one which permanently influences you. Individuality, also enthusiasm, is necessary, but the real orator is he who makes the audience see the truth, and not the man, the thought, not the expression. We think that students now and then have something valuable to impart to their fellows—sometimes from their own experience, sometimes from others'—but the blow is often deadened from excessive wadding. Let us then, in society, in rhetoricals, in public speaking, not lessen our vigor of expression, but elevate the thought, so that the outward may be true index of the inward.—News Letter.
Perhaps there is more diversity of opinion upon the manner in which a college paper should be conducted than upon any other thing connected with a college. No two persons are exactly agreed as to what the character of the contents should be. One would have the paper filled with essays and other literary articles, another would have local news occupy a prominent place, while the third is satisfied if the paper is teeming with jokes and exchange clippings.
All will agree that the proper method is to publish something for each class of readers, but even then what college journal can be able to please everybody? The chances are ten to one that not even the editors are fully satisfied with all the articles, or think no improvement could be made. The province of the college paper is not to rival literary magazines, the daily newspaper, or the almanac in the character of its contents, but to discipline the student in rhetoric and promote facility in writing. The
student who by nature is averse to writing essays or engaging in any kind of literary work, is often stimulated by having an interest to engage in practical writing upon a college journal. The amount of knowledge which is gained of the mechanical work connected with the publication of such a paper, is not inconsiderable. Many of our students who a year ago had never seen a proof-sheet or the inside of a printing office are no longer important of the printer's art. The only matter for regret is that so few of our students avail themselves of the opportunity of writing for the college papers. Their generosity is such that they would not willingly deprive the college editors of any benefit to be derived from literary labors. -Hatchet.
VIEWS.
ED. VIEWS:—In looking over your paper last week, I noticed a few timely words on literary societies. It seems to me that the best results to the average student can be obtained by the formation of several societies. The societies here are too large. There are two or three advantages to be obtained from such divisions. The University has no course in elocution. The only training a collegiate gets is when he speaks from the chapel stage two or three times a year. It depends on the literary societies whether a speaker shall have any control of himself before an audience or not, and if these literary societies are large, he gets very little practice. Then, again, a large number of students — over one-half — do not belong to any literary societies. At some schools every student is required to belong to some society. If such a provision should be passed by the "powers that be" we should not have graduates who halt and stammer before audiences. The authorities of the University should take this in hand, and if we cannot have a department of elocution, we will have the best substitute possible.
EARNEST.
A LIBERAL EDUCATION THE BEST.
We print this week an exposition of the arguments in favor of the Modern Langages as against the classical. Next we will favor our readers on the classical.
The principle ground for the belief that a classical education is better than that of a modern, is that the study of the dead languages is so difficult that it disciplines mind, makes it more grasping and gives it a better understanding for things studied in after life. Some say that the value of the study of Greek lies in the difficulty by which it is attained. One must labor so patiently and persistently before reaching that point at which he can begin to reap benefits, that it disciplines the mind beyond measure. It is claimed that the mind is made exceedingly alert and active by the hard work required in mastering the rudiments, that when the "top" is reached, one can then enjoy it as a blessing as long as life lasts. But there are objecters in their own rank who claim that when the "top" is reached after so much constant fingering, it is not fresh and the mind instead of being stimulated into new researches, falls into inertness and dispair. There is still another party wedded to the "classical," who claim that it is not difficult, that the difficulties of Greek have been exaggerated, that it is not more difficult than the German. Then how can it be a better disciplinarian than the German, Dr. A. P. Peabody says: "That the entire number of lessons devoted to Greek in a private school, which always sends to college admirably prepared pupils, does not exceed three hundred." This amounts to only a year and a half of preparatory Greek, and Dr. Peabody continues: "We are assured, on the best authority that a little more than half that number of lessons would suffice for a boy who made study his vocation, instead of his $a$-vocation." That is not more than is demanded for German. How then is Greek better than German to train the mind? The importance of modern languages has never sufficiently appreciated. The lovers of the Greek claim that one cannot get the true essence of literature unless they have an understanding of the ancient languages. Are not Shakespeare's writings considered classical? His writings are not of the English of to-day; but they have made the English of his time considered as classical. Ex-Pres. White, of Cornell says: "So far as literature is concerned, while I have nothing to say against those who are devoted to ancient literature, we certainly
need for the great majority, the study of literature rich, accessible, directly bearing on modern life. In my judgment the great German literature best suits this need, I believe that it furnishes the best corrective of modern Philistinism," The man who has read Nathan the Wise, Finster and Egmont and many other fine German compositions can not become a man, narrow minded and sordid, a mere money making machine. It is a fact that the average college boy never acquires the ability to translate with ease such authors as Xenophon or Homer, not even in Yale, and the boy who takes up a Greek author and reads him for the pleasure that he derives from thought is very rare indeed. His last year in college is his last Greek unless he has a profession which requires it. Then why not study the modern languages. That would be something from which he could get modern thought, and facts of modern interest. A. W. P.

WEDDING BELLS.—On Thanksgiving day, at 1 o'clock, ex-Chancellor Marvin performed the ceremony which united Mr. G. Scott Hopkins and Miss Cora Pierson in the holy bonds of wedlock. The wedding took place at the home of the bride, and only the members of the two families and a few very intimate friends were present. A large number of very elegant presents were received, noticeable among them was a hand-some engraving from the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity, of which Miss Pierson was a charter member. An elaborate lunch was served, after which Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins left for abridal trip to New Orleans and other sunny climes. On returning they will make a short visit to friends here, and then go to Holton, Kansas, which place they will make their future home. No more popular couple ever left our city. Mr. Hopkins was a graduate of the Kansas State University in '81, took a law course at Columbia, N. Y., and is now engaged in the practice of his chosen profession at Holton. While taking his four years' course in our midst, he made a host of friends by his genial nature, thorough attainments and manly ways. He was a member of the far-famed "Arion" quartette, and one of the best men of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Mrs. Hopkins has lived in Lawrence since her childhood, admired and respected by all, loved by hosts of friends, and one of this city's most popular society belles. A generous, warm-hearted and sympathetic nature, a thorough culture, rare mental qualities polished by long and thorough study, make her a general favorite, and one who will be greatly missed in Lawrence society circles. She was a graduate of the class of '84 in Kansas State University, and spent a year in Boston pursuing her linguistic studies and completing her musical course.
Quite a number of the friends of the happy couple accompanied them to the depot and decorated the car with old shoes, and showered the receding coach with rice—old customs in token of best wishes for the joy and happiness of this fortunate couple. To Holton society the Courier commands this young Apollo and his charming bride; and though Lawrence loses one of her best young ladies, yet she trusts Holton can but furnish her the happiest home.
I. C. SORISIS CONVENTION '85:—The first entertainment tendered the I.C. delegates from abroad was a "Grub" at Miss Sue Miles on Wednesday evening, November 25. The fore-part of the evening was devoted to songs, recitation and similar amusements. The cloth was spread and all par-took of delicacies, the excellence of which are alone known to the I.C. Later in the evening they were joined by the Betas and Phi Pais, who engaged heartily in the merriment of the evening. Thursday morning the ladies met at nine o'clock at the Art League rooms. As much business of important nature, came up before the sorosis as prevented them from attending "meetin," had been their wish. After the good old Puritan way. The sorosis was in session until two o'clock, where they adjourned to the home of MAUDE MANSFIELD, where a Thanksgiving dinner was provided by the sorosis. Fifty-three joined in the festive feasting. Thursday evening the Usher Guards had gallantly extended an invitation to the I.C. to attend their ball which was gratefully accepted by many. Friday morning the ladies resumed their duties, and the grand officers were satisfactorily elected for the ensuing term. Miss Ranni Anderson of Galesburg, Ill., Grand Q.R.; Miss Eva Eplant of Bloomfield, Ill., Grand R.S.; Miss Belle Leach of Mt Pleasant, Iowa, grand scribe; Miss Julia Ferris of Cartage, Ill., grand treasurer. Kappa Alpha chapter will continue the publication of the Arrow. The
next convention will be held in Indiana, Iowa, in the third week of October, 1886. Friday evening by half-past eight business was completed they immediately repaired to the Betas and Phil Psis halls who had extended to them an informal reception the ladies expressed themselves as being most elegantly entertained. Most of the delegates returned to their homes on Saturday with a lively sense of the charming hospitality of the Lawrence young people. The representatives of chapters were: Misses Lizzie Flagler, Ottomwa, Iowa; Emma Livingburg, Galesburg, Ill.; Ethel Low, Indianola, Iowa; Julia Ferris, Cartage, Ill.; Vinnie Harrison, York, Neb.; Flora Hill, Bloomfield, Iowa; Lillian Lewis and Mira Troi, Iowa City, Iowa; Ranni Anderson, Carrie McMurle, Galesburg, Ill.; Mary Carpenter, Denver, Col.; Josie Gassiner, Lizzie Ambler, Mt. Pleasant; Cora Widig, Burlington; Elva Plank, Bloomfield, Iowa; Mrs. Ball, Fairfield, Iowa; Mrs. Marsh, Ames, Iowa; Miss Suc Miles, Mrs. Spangler. Those of the Lawrence chapter who participated in the proceedings were: Mary Gilmore, Lena Beard, Mamie Woodward, Bella Love, Daisy Cockins, Addie Sutliff, Jennie Sutliff, Helen Sutliff, Hattie McFarland, Mina Marvin, Hannah Oliver, Maude Mansfield, Jo March, Dot Mead, Topeka, Nellie Hubbard, Olathe Kan; Alida Griffith, Alice Penfield, Laura Lyons, Emma White, Mrs. F. March, Jo Gilmore, Clara Poehler, Louise More, Flora Newland. The gentlemen present at the Beta and Phi Psl reception were: O. Templin, C. Dean, B. Lippincott, T. F. Doran, H. Buckingham, W. Tomlin, H. Reed, Mr. Borah, O. Poehler, J. E Curry, W. E. Johnson, H. Smith, S. T. Glmore, T. S. Fritz, J. A Prescott, W. W. Davis, S. Crane, D. Dunn, W. Spencer, Y. White, Ed Little, C. Spangler, H. Nichols.
USher GUARD:—The most brilliant social event of the season was he Thanksgiving ball tendered by company H of the K. N. G. About one hundred and fifty couples were in attendance, and the crowd presented a beautiful picture, made up of elegant costumes, happy faces and dazzling lights. The music was furnished by Buch's orchestra and supper served at 12 o'clock at Mull's parlor. Most of those in attendance were from our own town, but many neighboring cities were well represented. Quite a number of the ladies in attendance at the I.C. convention favored the company with their presence. Among those present were noticed the following: Company H regiment I, K. U. G.; Capt H.W. Howe, First Lieut. Stone Sargeant Carmean, Sargeant Hackman, Seargeant Moody, Sargeant McFarland, Corp. L. N. Lewis, Corp Abe Levy, Corp. Grovenor, Corp Metcalf, Corp. G. A. Lewis, Corp L. F.

Park.
I. C. GRUB:—Miss Lue Miles entertained the delegates to the convention and the ladies of Kappa Chapter at her home, Wednesday evening of last week. The girls were just in the midst of the delights of the "grub" when entrancing strains of music were heard from without. Upon examination it was found that the Phi Pais and Betas were serenading the fair ones congregated within. The gentle men were immediately invited in, an invitation which they hastened to accept. On entering they were introduced to the delegates and joined in the pleasures of the evening. The old proverb—the bones to those coming late—was not in this instance a truth. As the boys were treated to all the delicacies of the "grub" which, it is needless to say were properly appreciated. After some time spent pleasantly in conversation, music and recitations were made the order of business. Mr. Jenks sang in usual entertaining manner. He was followed by Miss Florence Hill, the charming delegate from Bloomfield, Iowa. Miss Hill sang a number of song which were highly enjoyed. Miss Ambler, of Mt. Pleasant, Ia., gave a recitation, which, to do the young lady justice, was delivered in as pleasing a manner as any your reporter has ever heard. She was followed by Miss Maude Mansfield, who did nobly. About eleven o'clock the boys departed, delighted with hospitality of the C.'s, and charmad with their delegates.
McEwen—The little folks dancing club held its regular meeting at the residence of Mr. McEwen on Vermont street, on Saturday evening. This little club never fails to spend a delightful evening this week was no exception. Those present were: Misses. Madge Schaum, Annie Stewart, Burrie Bowersock, Carrie McEwen, Donnie Bowersock, Estella Hynes, Georgia Wilder, Helen Hutchings, Bella Sinclair, Jean Bowersock. Messrs Tracy Leonard, Oscar Leonard, Just. Bowersock, Hal Noble, Bert Rankin, Fred. Diggs, Albert Flinton, Fredd. Dorrance, Paul Leonard. Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair, Mrs. Park, Mrs. Hutchins, Mrs. Bowersock, Mrs. Schaum, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Tabor, Mrs. Leonard. Mr. and Mrs. McEwen.
CRANDALL:—A very enjoyable surprise party was given last Tuesday evening on Mr. Ed. Crandall at his home in North Lawrence. Dancing, singing and games filled the fleeting hours until 11 o'clock an elegant lunch was served, and 12 o'clock the merry intruders dispersed. Those present were: Misses Lola Mallison, Nellie Mallison, Leona Dillon, Flora Dillon, Della Olds, Lillie Olds, Callie Melvin, Rollie Gillull, Rosa Wabnitz, Maggie Wilson and Mary Treworgy, Messrs. Ed. Crandall, Baldwin, J. Talhot, R. Melvin, G. F. Leonard, J. Bayne, E. Markham, J. Hutt, and C. Lindly.
ART LEAGUE EXHIBITION.—An Art Exhibition is scarcely the thing to draw the multitude. It takes a peculiar inherent "don't know how you got it" warp of mind to enable a person to enjoy looking at a good, unostentatious picture, and it is only when this liking is cultivated by continued observation, that one can really derive full pleasure in examining the array of a picture gallery. True critics are scarce — not five in fifty who think they are competent to judge of a picture's merit is really endowed with the requisite judgment. Somebody has said that only an artist in the highest meaning of the word, can judge an artist's work. Difficulties of execution overcome by the painter—which may be of the subject treated, or of combating inadequacy of pigment—count in making a decision of comparative merit of such difficulties the average observer is necessarily unable to make due estimate—he is only too apt to be caught by color, and to remain unattracted by marvelously wrought sombre passages. The editor of a Social column cannot be expected to be alike well versed in art, literature and the drama. What we have to say of the Art League Exhibition must be considered to emulate from a casual sightseeer, rather than from a being appointed with the exudation of tubes of colors.
versed in picture lore, and have expressed satisfaction at the display made.
As to expenses. If the Lebge realizes an amount equivalent to expenses, it is all they want. This has perhaps been done, but we do not think that people have turned out as they ought to have done. The visitors have been pretty generally
Of the exhibitors: F. M. Benedict displays five pictures—he reaches for truths of nature in atmosphere, distance, etc., and avoids brilliant coloring. Mamie L Simpson exhibits three oils and one water color, all equally marked for careful drawing and faithful coloring. Mary Welch shows two oils, at least two are catalogued, one of which we failed to find on Wednesday evening. Her "chrysanthemums" is a rich but delicate picture. Mrs. P. Brooks exhibits two oils, both depicting nature, one in apples, the other in dahlias. The apples are especially good. Mr. Hann shows four oil paintings, all landscapes, rich in russet foliage. Miss E. A. Odell has two oils, the better of which we think is the Kansas wild flowers. This latter would have had its beauty enhanced by a wider margin of gold frame. Mrs. Graves is perhaps the most prolific exhibitor and some of her work is charming. five oils are credited to her. H. Dermer has two oil paintings either of which may be taken for models of careful drawing. Mrs. Osbun Shannon has the largest picture on view, Snowballs, (the summer kind as formed by sunshine); also some well painted tulips. Miss Ferris has four oils, from which we should like to select one for our own individual deletion—pocketbook permitting. Mrs. F. A. C. Canfield has the most harmonious picture on view in landscape—"On the Batten Kill." Mrs. Canfield is to be congratulated on this picture. Jo March has treated "Hibiscus" daintily. Mrs. Schaum presents her favorite flowers skillfully, having four or five pieces on view. Miss Dunn has a picture of Geraniums well rendered. John T. Moore has four water colors and F. O. Marvin, two; being largely local in subject they interested the spectators the more. A. Reinsch exhibited the only black and whites with the exception of that shown by F. O. Marvin; as a new departure they were well received. Engraving on metal found an exponent in Allen Colton, who ought, perhaps, to have furnished prints of his work if such course were practicable. Mrs. Peck confined her exhibit to ornamental pottery—a very praiseworthy and pretty collection. Loans were made by S. O. Thacher, O. E. Learnard, E. L. Nichols, W. H. Carruth, W. L. Bullene, B. W. Woodward, F. O. Marvin, Arthur Weaver, Hattie Dunn, F. M. Benedict and John Hutchings. Hurriedly treating these we must confess that eyed a Salvator Rose with interest as being a rarity "in these diggings." Two pastels, were rich in parts beautiful in foliage, although a carpeting critic might object to some minor points of drawing. Nevertheless they are the best pastels we have yet seen on view in the West. Of etchings, a goodly number of artist proofs merit approbation. A sketch by Jos. Hitchins grew upon acquaintance; its colors being largely grays, its beauties were not at first glance apparent. It shows the hand of an expert. A water-color by Earp is marked by a "blue-y-bluency" in excess, but perhaps to a careful observer of nature such color occurs as depicted. For delicacy combined with strength it is remarkable. A portrait by Edmund White is a model that should be held up to the gaze of photograph copies and distorters. A softer piece of work would be hard to find. Pictures by Cropsey, Brevoort and Nichols deserve mention—the latter belonging to the old school of American painters. A pair of water colors by Roberts were highly complimented.
The League is doing good work. There is presumably not a picture shown that is without fault of some kind, but we are not able to tell just what the blemish is, and shall not attempt to. The members deserve credit because they insist upon originality as a condition for hanging, and deserve double credit because they live up to their rule. If as marked progress is observed in the next exhibition as this one presents over last year's, Lawrence will boast of the finest artists in the State.
Everybody who has not attended, should make it a point to go on the last day—Friday. It is a duty of every citizen to encourage art whenever presented. It is a labor of love on the part of the League that should be recognized despite of weather, incination, or previous engagement.
CHERRY.—A merry party of ladies and gentlemen assembled at the residence of Mrs. Cherry, Wednesday eve, the 25th ult., to celebrate with Miss Nannie Anderson, the occurrence of one of those occasions which warn us of the flight of time. A pleasant time was enjoyed with cards, music and games until eleven o'clock when the company right gallantly marched to the relief of a table grooming under the weight of good things which had been supplied in abundance. At a late hour the company dispersed, each one wishing Miss Anderson many happy returns. There were present: Misses Lille Freeman, Euta Hadly, Maud Thrasher, Cora and Minnie Henshaw, May Taggart, May Hair, Messrs Burney, Griffith, the relief and Schall.
Woodward:—On Tuesday last Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Woodward celebrated their fourth Wedding anniversary by giving an elegant dinner party to a few friends and relations. The bride was charming and the groom as happy as on their first wedding day. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Geo. March, Mr. and Mrs. Frank March, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Dr. and Mrs. Hodge, Mr. and Mrs. Col. Miles.
DEICHMANN.—Miss Mary Deichmann gave a very pleasant tea party at her home last Friday afternoon in honor of Miss Sarah Cohn, of Leavenworth. An elegant lunch wrs served at 7 o'clock, and Miss Mary proved herself a charming entertainer. Among those present
A small party of young people spent last evening very pleasantly at the home of Miss Maude Mansfield.
Miss Clara Greenamyer Friday evening very pleasantly entertained a few select friends at her home in honor of her cousins Misses May and Minnie Anderson of Topeka. The Misses Anderson are two of the most popular young ladies of the Capital city. As an elocutionist, Miss May is not exciled in the State.
The Y. W. C. A., which was organized a few weeks ago by Mr. Oher, held their last meeting at the residence of C. T. Wilder, on Ohio street. The subject under discussion was Thanksgiving, and Miss Newlin conducted the exercises. About twenty-five girls were present, and from the interest taken in the work there seems to be but little doubt of the success of the association. The subject for the next meeting is Advent. Miss Wilder will lead. The association will continue to meet at the same place for the next three weeks. All college girls are cordially invited to be present.

For $8.12 you can procure a ticket for the city library for a year. This reduction is for the month of December only. The library is well furnished with carefully selected books in every department of literature. In no other way can so much good reading be obtained for so small a sum.
SUBSCRIPTION FIFTY CENTS PKR YEAR
The following program was rendered in Orophilian Friday: Readings, Mr. Jacobs, W. B. Kellogg; oration, W. T. Caywood. After recess the subject of the piano was revised, and the following persons appointed to solicit money for the payment of the note: B. P. Blair, W. E. Higgins and Miss Sabine.
The oratorical contest last Friday evening was poorly attended. The program taken as a whole was good, but on the part of some showed lack of preparation. From the little interest taken in it by the students, the societies and even the participants, it is safe to say that the first contest will be the last.
Our history department, under Prof. Canfield, is becoming one of most popular in the University. Thus is shown in the largely increased classes each year. Last year the political history class numbered two, while this year there are twelve in the class. All other classes show a similar increase. We will want an assistant professor before long.

The students of the University should display their generosity by subscribing to the fund for the erection of the Grant monument at Leavensonworth. If two hundred would each contribute twenty-five cents, the fifty dollars thus raised would be greatly felt and thankfully received. This would incite other colleges of the State to do the same, which would go to show that the greatness of General Grant was much appreciated by the youth of Kansas.

The successful orator in this contest will represent the college in the state contest, which comes off at Topeka in the latter part of March, 1886.

Every student who has not attended a meeting of the Science Club should take time to do so. They do more work than any society in the University, and much pleasure and recreation is derived from their meetings. We only wonder why they don't hold their meetings weekly instead of every two weeks. One slight criticism we would like to make is that they choose too many subjects which involve higher mathematics and are too deep for the average student. But whatever be its faults, the club is doing good work. Long may it live.
W. C. Spangler, '83, has taught the law classes while Prof. Green was conducting cases in the district court. "University Courier." Spangler is no doubt able to teach the classes; but how about that clause in last winters University appropriation bill, which set apart $2,500 as salary for dean of the law department, "Who shall devote his whole time to the duties of his office." "Twenty-five hundred dollars is not much of a salary for a first class lawyer, but if Mr. Green accepts it he ought to abide by the conditions and keep out of the district court. "Iola Register."
The Orophilian literary society has seemingly turned over a new leaf this year. They have a number of new by-laws and amendments to their constitution, among which is one which provides that the participants in all contests shall be chosen by a contest in the society hall. This to an outsider would seem that the best will be honored with the highest positions; but there is still the same chance for scheming and wirespelling. One of the best things Orophilian has done this year has been to organize a debating club. This cannot help but be of great benefit to its members and gives them training in extemporaneous speaking. Orcad had better wake up and do the same thing or she will be sadly left in future contests.

The Military Company.
The K. S. U. has seen many organizations, and almost without exception each one has had its "kicker." These fellows have "kicked" and "kicked" until they each have been "kicked out" themselves. For some time past we have been speaking in favor of the military company and a military instructor. Some of the students who seemingly know nothing about the matter, have said that because the State militia is full we cannot have a military company, and they are not going to have anything to do with it. We are glad that such students are going to keep out of it, for we want no "kickers" in the military company. Because Topka and Denver and Kansas City have waterworks, this is reason why Lawrence cannot have them. What have the K. S. U. Guards got to do with the Kansas militia? Gentlemen of the military company, keep on with the good work you are at, and when the time comes the Cochlear will de its best to help get an instructor.

"So I Think" gives the COLIBER a terrible dig in a recent issue of the Herald-Tribune concerning our answer to his article not long ago. He is mad, and says we called him names, but what has he done when he says we are a dude, liw and so forth? However, he says something to which we heartily agree—that "when the University becomes a 'recruiting station' for certain churches or in any wise a sectarian school, then the legislature should cease making appropriations for its benefits." Mr. "So I Think" says he has heard some one say that the students are taught certain dogmas, or are told to attend churches where they are taught. If the gentleman would make a full investigation, he would certainly change his mind on this subject. The person with whom he talked may have been one of the few enemies of the University who are ever trying to find fault with its doings, and generally fail. He criticises us for not signing our name to our article. Why, because he did not sign his? We think that his article was of so much importance that it required the author's proper name. And furthermore if Mr. "So I Think" will let us know who he is, we will tell him who is responsible for these articles concerning him.
Attention, Alumni.
The alumni of the University have a duty which they owe to their alma matter. It is to stand up and defend her whenever attacked, whether its foes make an open assault, or try the guerrilla warfare by insinuations, misrepresentations and downright falschool. An untrue statement about the University, its methods, its instructors or its government, will go the rounds of the State press and do great injury. Our alumni should always be ready and willing to prompt deny these false assertions, and send the denial hot upon the heels of the original lie.
Recently several newspapers have begun an underhanded, cowardly attack on the University. In nearly every case the cause of the trouble is found to be personal malice or blind, stupid ignorance. We challenge a fair investigation. These papers who usually show their boldness by anonymous communications, either deliberately lie or refuse to see the truth. It is the duty of the alumni to take these guerrillas and hold their noses to the wheel of public opinion, until they are aslamed of their conduct, or the people see the true inwardness of their action.
Of course there may be a few, who, relying upon false information, are honest in their expressions at first, but if they will make a square effort to find out the truth for themselves, they will soon have to admit their error or continue in their course only for malicious, unprincipled reasons. In view of this, we call upon the alumni of the University to take up the cudgels and use them. The alumni can do this better than any others. It is impossible for students, professors or regents to act with as much force and authority in this line, as the alumni. An interview with the editors and representatives of each county, by an earnest, straightforward alumnus, would give them more knowledge of and respect for the University, than any other power.
Civil Service Reform.
. 4 0 1
No department in American polities demands of the people a more careful survey than that of civil service. The necessity of its thorough renovation is apparent to many; the courage to persistently advocate and enforce it, possessed by few.
All political parties favor civil service reform, but none has even approximately effected it. And now, any but the most obtuse must know that bribery, coercion and the corrupting influence of the "spoils system" are making American politics every year more disgusting. Our president, pledged to the reform, is bound hand and foot by his supporters, and however well disposed, has thus far been unable to fulfill his pledge. He meets the same obstacle that his predecessors have met, and it is to be feared he will yield to the same pressure that subdued them.
Congress also does not favor this reform, and until public sentiment can be educated to a knowledge of the true purpose of a Republican government, a thorough renovation of the old "spoils system," now three-fourths of a century old, is impossible. This system, incompatible to common honesty, is sapping the individuality of our citizens.
Exclude this by rigidly enforcing the "merit system." and the reform will be well begun. Not alone the cry of reform, but a thorough awakening of the people to its necessities should be our duty.
The reduction offered by the railroad companies to the students does not go into effect until the 24th. To be of any benefit to the students, the time should be changed to about the 18th.
STUDENTS VIEWS.
Our "University Balls" have been very unsuccessful during the past few years. The Juniors lost money on it last year, the year before there was none, and three years ago it was improperly managed.
In a school like ours we ought at least be able to have one good dance a year. We ought to have fifty couple who would be willing to attend. If two thirds of that number do attend the affair will be a success.
The cause of so many failures, it seems to me, lies in the management.
I have a plan which I believe would work and at a small cost. It is for five or six leading society students to club together, take charge of and give a University Ball. If anything is to be made let them have it, and if there is a deficit let them make it up.
If taken hold of by the right men and properly managed it will certainly be a success.
LIGHT FANTASTIC.
There is one thing I notice with extreme pleasure this year, and that is he absence of "class parties." If here is one thing more than another hat is calculated to destroy a man's emperor it is a class party.
In a class of thirty he is acquainted with twenty, is on good terms with fifteen and intimate terms with three or four. He goes to the party and it is the worst mixed crowd he ever saw. They can't dance because only three or four know how; they can't play cards for the same reason, and they can't carry on an interesting conversion because there is nothing in common between them. They sit around and look at each other and roast old chestnuts until about half past ten when they eat a supper prepared by about fifteen cooks, and as is usual in such cases the broth is spoiled. After supper they roast a few more chestnuts, tell how much they think of each other and go home inwardly "cussing" themselves for ever belonging to a class. MARN.
I would have no prepared orations or debates. Let the discussions include all political questions of the day, as Tariff Reform, Civil Service, the Condition of Ireland, the Eastern War etc. I would have no offices to scramble for and no honors to seek. A president appointed for each night would be sufficient. If the boys go into this in the right spirit it will be a success.
MARN.
We hear a great many "howls" about there being too many societies in the University. I think not. The time and money spent in this way is not lost by any means. Instead of too many we have too few, and I have another to propose. It is for the upper class men, say the Seniors and Juniors, to organize an informal political club. Let them meet every two weeks and talk over and discuss the events of the day.
One of the modern interpretations of "culture" is inanity. Near me at the opera the other evening sat an exponent of this school. Something real funny would occur on the stage. The audience would laugh. Crane's good-natured, irrepressible, deep base soaring a little above the rest; but there in front sat "culture" solemn as if he were listening to his grand mother's funeral service. Pretty soon would come a succession of side-splitting remarks from the actors, that would rend the house with cheers. Not a muscle moved on old Cult's phiz, unless it was a sneer, just perceptible. There he sat three hours, like an old stump. If he got a second of pleasure out of the opera, it wasn't perceptible to the naked vision of his fellow men. The mercury in the thermometer showed decided tendency to hide itself as came in his neighborhood. But it culture, you know. Cowboy
While so much is being written concerning the lecture courses and oratorical contests, there is one subject that has not been discussed. This was suggested by glancing over the number of young men that occupied one side of the chapel at the contest. These gallants (?) had climbed the hill together, and left the young ladies unaided to do the same. If the young men of this University have not the courage, or have forgotten what attention is due the fair sex, they should at once enigrate to Washburn or some other institution where they would find climes congenial to their nature. If this neglect is merely due to carelessness, then they arouse themselves at once, and each make it his particular business to see that at least one young lady has a proper escort. P.A.F.
"E," holding forth in the line COURIER under the above title, makes some remarkable statements. He seems to be one of that class of individuals whose eyes are unfortunately so constructed as to make it impossible for them to measure with any reasonable degree of accuracy those evils which they run across in their journey through this "vale of tears." And sad to state, the above named deficiency often renders obscure the weak points in the arguments of these well meaning people.
He says that no wrong should be pointed out without at the same time suggesting some remedy. He evidently thought he was living up to these principles in an admirable manner when he alluded to the danger that were threatening our State from political corruption, and then told us that to purify college politics would be a long stride toward purifying national politics. O, fatal mistake. Why couldn't he see that he really suggested no remedy at all until he had told us how college policies were to be purified?
"College Politics."
And then, are our college politics really as bad as he claims? Certainly not. A fair, impartial investigation of this matter will satisfy any one that our college politics are not all they ought to be; but that same fair, impartial investigation will convince any one who has the power of seeing them as they really are, that "E" is mistaken when he makes use of such language as this: "Any fair minded student *student* *student* *student* will see that hideous beast (the present system of college politics) skiling around in unseen corners, ready to pounce upon anything or anybody that it thinks can glitr its vengeance." He says "You know how loud it snelt on the second day of the Freshman class meeting." What biobok? If any one stepped beyond the bounds which may truthfully be called friendly, on that day, it must have been "E" himself. If there was really anything so serious about that matter, how did it happen that fifty six out of a Freshman class of just about that number, signed a petition asking that a certain Soph be not fired?

I would like to propose a "form" in your valuable paper. It is that we have rocking chairs for the upper classman. For four years I have been wearing the seat of my pants and tiring my muscles on hard bottomed chairs, and I think now that I deserve a cushioned rocking chair. With my body in an easy chair, my feet on a table and a cigarette in my mouth, I believe that my two hours a day would at least be bearable. R. S. Hortos.

A small audience greeted the speakers on the oratorical contest for Friday evening. Harry Riggs used as president, and performed the duties admirably. The first speaker, Mr. C. L. Smith, delivered a well written oration, but his delivery was somewhat monotonous. F. A. Marshall, the next speaker, delivered a beautiful oration, but his delivery was not up to his usual standard. Mr. R. S. Horton was the next speaker. His oration was well written, and was especially adapted to his style of speaking. By many it was regarded as the best of the evening. T. F. Doran was the fourth speaker. His oration was good, but was too long for the occasion. Cyrus Crause sustained his reputation as an orator. W. T. Reed, the last speaker, delivered a good oration in a facile manner. He wandered somewhat from his subject. The music in the orchestra and the solo by Mr. deks were highly appreciated by the audience.
The pen is the only scepter which never broken. The only real master is he who controls the thoughts of men. The maker of words is master of the thinker who only uses them in this domain he has no rival. He stands at the fountain-head of thought, science, civilization. He is controller of all minds; to him all talk, write, or paint, payless and involuntary tribute. In his sense, Noah Webster is the all-mapping, all controlling mind of this universe. He grew up with his country, and largely by his spelling-book and dictionary, he molded the intellectual character of her people. Not a man has sprung from her soil, on whom he has not laid his all-turning hand. His principles of language have tinged every sentence and is now or ever will be uttered by an American tongue. His genius was presided over the languagge of the whole nation. It is universal, omnipotent, omnipresent. No man can breathe the air of the continent and escape it. The scepter which the great lexicographer wields so uniquely, was most worthily won. It was not inherited, it was achieved, coast a life struggle for an honest, love, unfaltering heart—a clear, strong intellect. No propious accident favored his progress. The victory was won after a steady trial of forty years."

The lecture delivered by the Rev. Geo. A. Bowers last Wednesday morning was one of the most scholarly and eloquent lectures ever delivered in chapel. He started out by saying that he would attempt to instruct the audience, not merely please them "Mediocrity and perseverance are better than genius." He laid down several rules for obtaining "intellectual success." First, find out what you are best fitted to do, for "it is better to know everything about something than something about everything." Second, a courageous, determined, heroic effort is necessary to succeed. Third, study "principals not rules." It is not so much what you study as what you master. We should not be mere creatures of circumstances, but masters of them. He closed by urging young men not to be discouraged because they are poor. All the capital they need is "capital of the output." "Good sense, good health and good character are the essentials of success." Should Rev. Bowers come here again we can assure him a crowded house.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
Vol. IV.
Tuesday morning several juvenile students of of K. S. U. took advantage of the sleet, and spent the early hours in coasting down Mt. Oreade
When it was announced that the lecture was postponed until Wednesday morning, the boys who had company engaged were sadly disappointed (?) that they had to counter-mand the order for hacks.
The wind blew at eighty-six miles an hour at one time last Friday. The record of the day stood ahead of any day during the thirteen years the Anemometer has been at K. S. U.
It is understood that a choir composed of Mrs. C, W. Grant, Mrs. J. E. Parke, Miss Mabel Gore, Mr. Schwartz, J. D. Lott and Mr. and Mrs. Hynds, are practicing preparatory to singing at the Catholic church on Christmas day. They are all very fine singers, and it will be a treat to hear them.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 11, 1885.
The Webster Debating club met in Orophillian hall last Saturday, with an attendance of fourteen. Charles Elwell was chosen president, and J. E. Rolston secretary. The exercises consisted of extemporaneous speeches and a senate session, in which all present took an active part. The only rule the club has is that all the exercises shall be extemporaneous. The membership is limited to the young men of Orophillian.
Oread society met at the usual hour in Oread hall, but on account of the severe wind, few were able to attend. The program was short consisting of a reading by G. W. Harrington; essay, by Jack Schall; declaration, L. A. Stebbins. As previously announced, after recess was a "spelling down." Mr. Jenkins gaves the words, and after two different trials, the victory was each time awarded Ella to Ropes. After miscellaneous business and a few general remarks the society adjourned. Today's program is as follows: Declarations, J. A. Prescott, Henri Nickel; Readings, R. G. Kimball, Hattie Dunn; Essays, L. W. Kerr, G. S. Lewis; orations, Denton Dunn, E. C. Little.

The following well rendered translation of Agammonn's prayer was written by a member of '89:
Oh Father Zeus enthroned in might,
Whom smoke and murky clouds invest,
Before this day fades into night,
Grant unto me this dearest behest,
riham, the king of the stronghold of Troy.
Of the broadstreet city with palaces and temple.
"autem tempte,
And embeds may fall from the roof of
And Hector the son, may his gay purple tunic
Be torn where it covers the warm heart's beat,
And his chieffains and warriors and conrades in armor
May writhe in the ashes and die at on feet. R.W.
VIEWS.
PRO-CLASSICAL
In last week's issue I read an article favoring the Modern Languages. He has some good points in his article, but I don't think he has proven that such an education offers more inducements than that of a classical. Nowhere has the subject of classical vs. modern language education received more attention than in Germany and more than ninety years ago Dr. BenJ. Rush published "Observations on the study of the Latin and Greek," in which he says: "The expulsion of the Latin and Greek from our schools would propuce a revolution in society and social affairs." In Germany classical education is absolutely necessary to a person in order that he may be able to hold any social, public or military position of honor. All the wealthy and educated people send their sons to the Gymnasium where they can receive the strictest training in the classics. The tradesmen and artisans who have bright sons strain every resource, that they may send their sons to the same school, for without a classical education, they know it is useless to expect any honors through their sons. Through no other medium can a person obtain the same mental training and thorough discipline as through the study of Greek. No student is better capable of hard and efficient study than one from a German Gymnasium. Why? on account of the severe drill in the classics. It may be a "hard row to hoe" through the elementary principles, but when once through, the mind is left in a highly cultivated condition, capable of grasping and battling with the difficult problems of life. As school life advances, the intellect tasked and disciplined by a special class of studies, the object of which is to train the national powers and to furnish them with facts and truths. The mind is constrained to reflection and analysis. From acquisition, observation and memory it proceeds to be trained to the independent judgment of science. In no way can the mind reach this standard of excellence except through the medium of a thorough classical education. The finest literature is in the classics. By a thorough training in the classics as a language, all the modern languages are easily acquired. The following statements made by a professor in the Chicago University are valuable as an argument in favor of the classics. First, the number of students in the scientific course has always remained considerably less than in the classics. Second, nearly every year several students have left the scientific course, have gone back and begun the study of Greek and Latin, and prepared themselves for the classical course. Third, the classical graduates have been more fortunate in obtaining responsible and lucrative positions. The greatest objection I can see against the study of the "dead languages" is that few Western students can afford the necessary time to its completion, but that does not hurt the argument. It is undoubtedly the best disciplinarian.

HIBERNAL HOMILIES.
The other day as I passed from one recitation class to another. I noticed how varying was the temperature of the different rooms. In one room the thermometer was way up, and in another it was way down. Now this is all wrong and in direct opposition to the laws of health. When one room is so warm that I have to unbutton my vest, and another so could that I must fasten my coat to the chin and turn up the collar to be at all comfortable, what else would he need, a headache or cold? Attention has been called to this before, but no improvement is visible. It seems to me that either the professors should be more careful or that some competent person should be employed to keep uniform ventilation and equal temperature throughout the building during recitation hours.
The other day as I walked down the corridors, I discovered a crumpled piece of paper, upon opening which I desiccured the following lines. I have not the slightest idea as to who is the writer, or for whom it was meant, yet the beauty of the verses persuades me to give them in full. We have all of course been in some predicament at sometime or other, and fully appreciate and sympatize with the feelings of the author:
Turn, turn those eyes, whose dewy light
spreads tender languor or my soul;
the silence of your voice.
Hide, hide those lips that smiling meet,
Through which they breathe ambrosial
Through which they breathe ambrosial
TO J. C.
PERSONAL
Ahl't turn those eyes, for now they dart
Restless lightning through my heart.
The other day as I wandered into one of the literary societies I noticed several of the visitors or members reading the Courier, while the program was being given. This seems to me to be the height of rudeness, or thoughtlessness at least. Of course that they were reading the Courier was some excuse, as the temptation was doubtless a great one to resist. However students should be more thoughtful and considerate of the feelings of others and should pay attention when they are present at the societies, whatever else they may desire to do.
Hatch is here this week.
Voluntary recitations for our two higher classes have accasionally been suggested, but have never received much consideration. Now this seems to me to be a good scheme for several reasons. In the first place senior and junior studies are largely optional and students are very apt to be always present at recitation, when they choose there own studies. I don't believe in granting too much freedom to the lower classmen, because so many of them are too young to know what is best for them. But students higher in the course are supposed to have arrived at the years of discretion, and to be responsible persons. Indeed the faculty concedes this, when it allows them the selection of their own work. I think it strange that higher classmen have to be under the same rules and regulations as the preparatory students.
Colly denies my ardent sun.
Hide, hide those lips, for pity sake!
They tempt the kiss I dare not take.

A more efficient post-office force than that of the city of Lawrence does not exist in the State. We have not heard a complaint on matters in a month. Messrs Diggs, Bodle, Lewis and Guest are certainly efficient men.
SOMETIMES since we spoke at some length on the advantages of the practice of extemporaneous speaking. We are much pleased to see a few students following the advice of the COURIER, and making a move in the right direction. The Webster Debating club is decidedly the proper thing, and every Orophilian should make the most of it. We would advise the Oreads to get up some similar enterprise, or to follow more assiduously impromptu speaking in the society. We are not sure that an extra club is necessary, however we will encourage anything which has the right motive. Long live the Webster Debating society.
As the good work on Oread avenue still goes on, and we observe with admiration the marvelous improvement it is making on the appearance of the approach to the University, we cannot fail to see other points in which it will materially benefit our institution. By thus opening this avenue we are not only provided with a very beautiful approach to the University, but the student is in general greatly benefited. Western and northwestern Lawrence has always been an out of the way place for the students to room by but by this improvement the desirability of such a location will be greatly increased as well as it will undoubtedly, thereby, lower the rates of room rent. Let the good work go on, and no pains be spared to beautify our campus and its surroundings.

THOUGH the literary societies are picking up a little now, there are altogether too small a number of students who are active members. While the societies may live and prosper with a small membership, yet it seems to us a great shame that so few students are reaping the great benefits to be derived from the work in them. We are sorry that the large majority of students are so thoughtless as to neglect this most important part of the college training, and we heartily wish that they themselves could see the necessity for reform in this line without the intervention of the powers. While we are in favor of as much freedom for the students and as little supervision by the faculty as possible in the choice of the work of the curriculum, yet when the students fail to improve their best opportunities, and do not seem to know what is best for them, then the faculty should step in to
THERE have appeared recently several squirbs in the city press concerning the management of the Law Department by Prof. J. W. Green. Objections have been raised because during the term of the district court in Douglas county, and the United States circuit court in Topeka, Mr. Green was called away from his work for a day or so by the demands of important suits pending in these courts, and it is claimed that in consequence he is neglecting his work at the University.
No more unjust and uncalled for criticism could be made. Last year when the salary of the Dean was made sufficient to warrant a professor in devoting his attention to the work, and the position was tendered Mr. Green, there was a distinct understanding that he should have the privilege to close up the cases in which he was at that time retained. This was no more than right. He had agreed to look after the interests of his various clients, had studied their cases, and was familiar with all the different points at interest, and could try them to better advantage than any attorney whom they could employ to succeed him. As an honorable man, having assumed these responsibilities, he was bound to keep his pledged word to his clients. This is all he has done. If he had done less he would not be worthy to hold the position that he does.
But outside of this, such captaincy should not be indulged in criticism to Prof. Green. As is well known he has been in charge of the Law Department for several years past, when the only compensation he received was the contingent fees paid by the students, never amounting to over $500 or $600 a year. During all this time he labored unremittingly for the advancement of his department, giving his time and attention freely, permitting free access to his private library and office, bearing recitations five and six times a week at the University and in fact by his exertions keeping alive the department under the repeated rebuffs received from the legislature. Under these circumstances, it does not seem to us that he should be expected to sacrifice, even if it were honorable to do so, the cases now pending in the courts, in many of which he has large fees at stake, when they can be disposed of, for the greater part, in a couple sessions of court.
One business man said that one monthly paper was enough, but when it comes to adding a couple of weeklies, that was too heavy a load to carry. Another agreed that he could stand one monthly and one weekly, but he was sick of three papers.
One merchant told me that he was going to stop advertising in them all, as he did not consider that the advertising was of any benefit to him. "I believes in liberal advertising, as you know," he added, "and I am going to spend my money with the legitimate home newspapers."—Gazette.
It does not seem to us that Lawrence business men should complain so much about the amount they pay to University papers. Unquestionably two weekly papers are too many, and elsewhere we give the business men our views on the subject and suggest a remedy. But before business men talk about stopping their advertising in the college papers let us call their attention to a few facts.
From the catalogue of the University last year we find that there were 471 students in attendance, of whom about 300 came from places outside of Lawrence. For board and other expenses each student spends on an average $200 a year making a grand total of $60,000. Besides this the annual appropriation made by the legislature is $30,000 and the income from the endowment fund and contingent fees $10,000 more, making a grand total of $100,000 a year that the city of Lawrence receives directly from the students and University. Of this a large amount goes directly into the pockets of the grocers, meat market men and dry goods merchants.
On the other hand the Review costs $50 a month, the Courier $120, making a total for the year of $1,780. This money is simply collected by the students and paid over to the printers for work. No one connected with the editing of the papers makes anything out of their publication, the honor and practice being considered sufficient renumeration by those chosen to do the work. If they choose to pay any more toward supporting college papers it is their own fault, but even if they did, $80 a month more, or $800 a year, would cover everything, making $2,500 that the merchants would pay for the support of the University papers. But in fact they do not pay more than 60 or 70 per cent. of this, as the money received from subscriptions amount to at least 30 per cent. of the expenses.
With these facts before them how the business men can say that it does not pay to advertise in the University papers is more than we can see, unless they go on the plan that they will get our patronage any way, whether they advertise or not. If this is the way the question is looked at, an organization comprising the entire body of students, similar to those in several eastern institutions, whose purpose is to see that the University patronage goes to those who advertise in the college papers, will be in order.
--posed the COURIER company would turn over its publication and business to these half-dozen and their friends without protest and an attempt to protect its rights. During the few weeks following in which the COURIER's advertisers were so troubled by the appearance of their advertisements in two papers, and threats of double collections, the COURIER secured a copyright on the name of THE COURIER as follows:
THE board of Regents at their next meeting, we understand, will elect the Pharmacy Examining Board. On this board the COURRIE would like to see the Hon. Geo. Leis, of this city. We do not know that he would desire a position on this, but in return for services of his for the Pharmacy Department in its establishment, he should be tendered it. No one man in the State, though many did good work for it, did so much as Mr. Leis before the legislature last winter. Only "location," perhaps, kept him off the executive board by Gov. Martin's appointment, and the board of Regents should now do him this little honor.
There is a great deal of growling among our business men over the existence of so many University newspapers, and I think they are justified in grumbling. * * One monthly and one weekly is sufficient to cover the field of University news and literary work. * * * The merchants are glad to do the fair thing, but they feel that there is no more need of two weekly college papers here than there is of five wheels on a wagon. — Gazette.
As one of the University papers, the COURIER deplores this as much as can any of the business men of the city themselves. That the running of two weekly papers in an institution of the size of ours, is uncalled for, the COURIER has ever maintained. The bolt made by a few stockholders from the company, and the starting of a second weekly paper, now under the management of J. D. McLaren and E. A. WHEELER, could not be avoided by us. Because of this slight disaffection, however, in which not over a half-dozen of the legal stockholders were enlisted, it was not to be supposed the COURIER company would turn over its publication and business to these half-dozen and their friends without protest and an attempt to protect its rights. During the few weeks following in which the COURIER's advertisers were so troubled by the appearance of their advertisements in two papers, and threats of double collections, the COURIER secured a copyright on the name of THE COURIER as follows:

and Ross Wemple, Lawrence, Kas,
have deposited in this office the title
of a periodical, the title of which is
THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURER,
Lawrence, Kansas, the right
whereof they claim as President and
Secretary OF THE COURIER Co., the
proprietors thereof, in conformity
with the laws of the United States
respecting Copyrights.
"A. R. SPOFFORD,
"Librarian of Congress."
Upon the penalty of the violation of Copyright laws, we extract from the United States Statutes:
"If any person, after the recording of the title of any periodical, shall within the term limited and without the consent of the proprietor of the Copyright first obtained in writing, signed in presence of two or more witnesses, print or publish, either in whole or in part, or by varying the design with intent to evade the law, or knowing the same to be so printed or published, shall sell or expose any copy of such as aforesaid, he shall forfeit to the proprietor all the plates on which the same shall be printed, and every sheet thereof, and shall further forfeit one dollar for every sheet of the same found in his possession. One-half thereof to the proprietor and the other half to the use of the United States."
With this the management of the COURIER fully intended to protect themselves in the United States courts. In fact a trip was made to Topeka for this purpose, and all arrangements were made to have these young gentlemen arrested. But more pacific counsels prevailed, as it was manifest that it would result in injury to the University, and it was considered better by the management of the COURIER to suffer a little inconvenience than to inflict a lasting injury on the institution. They were further confirmed in this view by finding that their advertisers and patrons, with nearly entire unanimity, were favorably disposed toward them as the representatives of the original company, and were ready to fill old contracts, and by the decision of the Postmaster General granting all mails addressed "COURIER," to them. These circumstances, to a great extent, also removed the incentive for appealing to law from a financial standpoint. Consequently the COURIER contented itself with a full exposure of the actions of the young men managing the new paper, and ceased troubling the public with its grievances, really hoping and expecting a few weeks would solve the difficulty.
The above notices, however, call for an explanation on our part. The business men of the city are giving us excellent support, considering the circumstances. We have added a Social Department to our publication, which in one month has given us upwards of five hundred subscribers in the city, aside from our University circulation, making eight hundred papers weekly circulated in the city of Lawrence. This gives us a very good advertising medium, and we are pleased to find our efforts are so well appreciated by business men.
Now there is one way to stop the publication of two weekly papers, and the business men have the power
The young men running the second paper, are keeping it up by the little they can get out of the business men by threatening to boycott, and in other ways, and as we are creditably informed and believe, by an assessment of fifty cents apiece levied on each member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, in whose interest the paper is run.
in their hands. Let them use it or cease to complain. The boys running the second COURIER have not the shadow of right to sustain them, as will be remembered in the statement published at the beginning of the year, they were shown to have violated all pledges they had made, and every day that they run now they lay themselves liable to be punished under the provision of the United States statute.
Let the business men stop giving them any patronage whatever, and very soon they will get tired of paying the expenses out of their own pockets. We can assure the business men that the paper represents but a very small element in the institution, comprising the members of one fraternity with their friends, out of nine fraternities in the University. If you will act promptly no more trouble will be experienced, if not, we do not think you should complain.
VIEWS.
Ed. VIEWS:—During the past week several professors have complained of the inattention of pupils during recitations. Several well-timed lectures on the subject of attention have been delivered, but they have failed to abolish the evil. The cause is right here: If the professor in charge does not require recitations to be delivered distinctly, so that all can hear, then he must not expect the pupils to pay attention. No one loves to listen to a mumble. Hamlet's instruction to the players might well be applied in this case: "A word to the wise is sufficient." EARNEST.
EDITOR VIEWS.—We have listened to numerous harangues on the necessity of a pipe organ in coapel, a green house on the campus etc., etc., but it seems that the key note has not yet been struck, at any rate these enterprises have not aroused enough enthusiasm among the students to effect any definite result as yet. This is most probably due to the round-about methods which are necessary for the accomplishment of these ends, since the action of the regents is necessary. Therefore it seems that if there are any special objects to be accomplished we should rather select those which are of direct interests to the students and may be acted upon without the intervention of the faculty or regents. Among the schemes which are feasible is the long wished for University band. It is very obvious that it would be a great addition to the University if such an organization was effected and the only question remains is whether there is enough spirit left among our musicians to organize such an enterprise. We have abundance of talent and if this matter would be taken in hand it could doubtless be made a success in every respect. Wake up musicians.

To the World's Fair at New Orleans, or to any point South, and wish to have a pleasant trip, you will need to be informed as to the best, quickest and cheapest route. The Memphis Short route South, with its Through Buffalo Sleeping Cars Kansas City to New Orleans, its Free Reclining Chair Cars Kansas City to Memphis (and being over one hundred miles the shortest line to the South), is practically the only line from Kansas City, the West and Northwest, to all Southern cities.

Mrs. Hutchings TEA PARTY.—Mrs. Hutchings gave a delightful tea to some of her friends on Friday last. The afternoon was spent most pleasantly, in social conversation and expressed themselves as being most delightfully entertained, as Mrs. Hutchings is ever a truly charming hostess. Among those present were Meedames Cook, Lippincott, Love, Hill, S. T. Field, Bowersock, Shannon, Fluke, Eldridge, Geo. Innes, Pendleton, Tremper.
BOWENSOCK:—The Little Folks' dancing club had a very pleasant meeting Saturday night at the residence of J. D Bowersock on Tennessee street. These pleasant parties are no more enjoyed by the little ones, than by the older people who are fortunate enough to be present. Among those present the following were noticed: Misses Genevieve Howland, Bella Sinclair, Stella Hynes, Rilla and Lucy Van Hoesen, Madge Schaum, Carrie McEwen, Don, Burrie, Genie Bowersock, Messrs. Albert Flintom, Hal Noble, George and Philip Cook, Tracy, Oscar and Paul Learnard, Fred and Jua. Bowersock. Mesdames Van Hoesen, Sinclair, Schaum, McEwen. Misses Marcella Howland, Hattie Cook, Lyle Hynes, Gail Gainers.
TURNER:—A taffy pulling was given by Miss Lily Turner at her home on Kentucky street last Tuesday evening. Quite a large number were present and spent a most delightful evening. Miss Lily is a charming hostess and the merry company hope this will not be the last of her delightful parties. Among those present were the following: Misses Cora Henshaw, Mamie Henshaw, Lily Freeman, Lena Beard, Emma Blackington. Mesars, Jack Schall, A. L. Burney, J. Davis, W, A. Jackson, G. Lewis, L. A. Gilbert, J. Griffith.
CONTEXT:—The first contest of the year between the Oread and Orophilian societies was held in University hall last Friday evening. In spite of the inclementity of the weather many city people as well as the students of the University were assembled. The Phi Pis orchestra opened the entertainment with one of their most excellent selections. The oration—"Our National Safety guard" by C. L. Smith, of the Oread society was well rendered and was indicative of much thought. "The Questions of Nations," by F. A. Marshall is a most excellent essay and did credit to the Orophilian society of which Mr. Marshall is a member. J. W. Jenks' solo, was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Mr. Jenks singing has ever been highly appreciated. The next oration by R. S. Horton on "Andrew Jackson," showed that Mr. Horton was familiar with the biography of many of his countrymen. The Oread may deservedly claim Mr. Horton its member. "The Homes of Our Citizens," by T. F. Doran of the Orophilian was excellent and thoroughly appreciated. The Oread was next represented by Cyrus Crane, whose notation "A Problem" taught many what true greatness was when considered by those of culture and refinement. Mr. Crane has long been acknowledged one of Oreads most promising members. W. T. Reed of the Orophilian was the last contestant. Mr. Reed's oration on "The Mission of Morality" was listened to with breathless interest, it being written in his usual constyle style. That Mr. Reed was master of his subject was clearly shown. As a member of the Orophilian, Mr. Reed has no superior, after music by Phi Pis orchestra the audience dispersed well pleased, feeling fully repaid for climbing Mount Oread.
The Art League met Monday evening at Miss Simpson's studio. Not withstanding the unpleasant weather quite a large company assembled. The leading feature of the evening was a reading from Ruskin by F. O. Marvin.
Theseniual class of the High school to-night. Everybody attend.
Rev. Geo. A. Bowers, pastor of the Congregational church at Abilene, delivered a lecture on "The Conditions of Intellectual Development and success, in chapel Wednesday morning to an audience comprised of a large body of the students. The lecture was very interesting as well as instructive and clearly set forth the motives which should guide man in his intellectual labors. It had reference especially to the requisites of the student in his search for knowledge. Rev. Bowers has an eloquent and facile manner in his delivery and held the undivided attention of all present. The lecture is acknowledged by all who heard it to have been one of the grandest literary treats of the season.
The long talked of, much advertised event of the season, the appearance of the Abbott Opera Company, has passed. And It is certainly a relief especially to the student out with his best girl engaged laid and a half tickets and the constant anxiety about the state of the weather lest a rain should necessitate the buying of a hack. For my self, I must say that I had great expectations about this company, had heard the "Mikado" but it was by what I thought to be a "botch" company. Gran had no orchestra to give tone to the performance, his company were rather poor singers and the costumes were not such as would excite the greatest admiration for the regal dress of the Japanese court. But Gran's公司 could sustain good, brisk dialogue and that is more than can be said at the Abbott company. Emma Abbott claims that the character of "Yur Yum" was created especially for her by the composers. This may be but I can see nothing remarkable in her version of it. Amy Gordon certainly put more life into it and was much more satisfactory to the audience Fred. Dixon in the character of Ko Ko, lord high executioner was excelled by the Ko Ko of the first presentation. Lizzie Annonda was all that one could wish in the character of Kitisha. She of course is not to blame for her handsome face, which is entirely out of place in the homely, wizened up old maid she was intended to represent Broderick, Prudette and Montgreville sustained their parts in a very austistic manner. I do not wish, in this question, the ability of the Abbott company; they are all excellent singers, probably as good an appear on the American stage. But I do think they should drop the "Mikako" from their repertoire. I gives Miss Abbott little opportunity to display her talents and does not do her moderate justice. La Travata, Il Travatore Maritana or man other good English operas would much more satisfyactory. The andence was characteristic of Lawrence cold and dignified; only upon or occasion when she sang "Hon Sweet Home" in such a beautiful way, did it design to give the lean applause. We noticed the following persons in the audience: Mr. an Mrs. J. D. Bowersock, Mr. and Mr. Frank March, Mr. and Mrs. O. Woodward, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hill, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Parke, Mr. and Ms. McCann, Mr. and Mrs. C-miles, Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Field, Mr. L. Field, Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Hyne, Mr. and Mrs. Saunders, Mr. and Mr. Riggs, Mr. and Mrs. R.

To the Fathers and Mothers of the Good Little Folks of Lawrence and Vicinity;
I know you will be pleased to hear good news for our children. So I will tell you what I have been doing. I have been to Lawrence and have been right among the little boys and girls to find out just what they want. I know the very thing that will suit them and make them happy. While there I visited all the stores to see in what place I had better establish my headquarrers. After looking round carefully you will not be surprised to hear that I have selected the "Trade Palace" as the place where all my best toys, fancy articles and everything anybody can want for Christmas shall be sold. The Kahn-weller Bros, have promised to take care that everyone shall be well attended to and be made happy who buys at the "Trade Palace." Take good care of the girls and girls whom I like so well, and buy their Christmas presents at the "Trade Palace." Yours for the children,

A KNIFE PASSED THROUGH THE EYE BALL WITHOUT PAIN.
Last Tuesday Mr. Mike Anthony of 517 Dacota street, Leavenworth, Kansas, came to the Eye and Ear Infirmary, corner Grand and Eighth streets, Kansas City. Mo. The new and wonderful herb discovered in South America was put in the eye. A few minutes after Dr. Kimberlin assisted by Drs. McKee and Trainor passed a knife clear through the eyeball, split it wide open, and removed a piece of the iris and the dead lens (or cataract). Mr. A. lost the sight of his right eye four years ago, and was entirely blind. His wife had to lead him about. Immediately after the operation he could count the doctor's fingers, and I yesterday he was sitting up and could see everything about the room, and says: "I felt no pain during or since the operation." Mr. A. has resided in Leavenworth twenty-five years, and all his friends are greatly rejoiced that he has regained his sight, and that without any pain.

VIEWS
EDITOR VIEWS:—The question has often occurred to me why there is such an entire lack of athletic sports among the students or K. S. U. To be sure we have a ball-club, and during the pleasant weather a few take part in the game, but by far the greater number take only such exercises as is afforded them by the walk to and from the University, with an occasional trip down town. Our college is behind
nearly all others in this matter of athletics, and it is a noticeable facts that our students, as contrasted with those of other colleges, are far behind them in physical development. A large proportion of our students are pale and sickly, with round shoulders and hollow chests, caused, not by excessive study, but by lack of exercise. In many other colleges more attention is given to athletic sports than is given so studies. Of course, we do not advocate such a measure, but even this is better than the other extreme, and if we could divide with them it would be better for all parties concerned. Health is one of the greatest blessings a person can enjoy; without it one is miserable and unable to exercise his best energies. Physical exercise is one of the requisites to good health, and should be taken by all. Lessons may be learned much more easily and in much less time after an hour or two of vigorous exercise, than without it. Most colleges have a gymnasium; ours has none. But do not let the absence of this, cause such a lack of activity. Take exercise.
There are many ways of doing it. Play base-ball, foot-ball, hare and hounds; walk if you have no money, rike if you have more than you know how to use. A small amount of money would suffice to start a boat-club. Boating, hunting, fishing; they will all do you good, and furnish more enjoyment than most of the amusements indulged in by many of the boys at present. The girls need exercise, and need not go without it. Although it is not customary, as most of us know, for girls to play foot-ball, and such games, still they may walk, and ride, and go boasting with the rest of us; indeed, we would be only too glad to have them do so. It is said that four University girls have already formed a club-bath, and have even ventured onto the river, and climbed to the top of the white ice-house. Think of that, boys! That is right! Let us hope that more attention will be given to this matter in the future, and there will be less sickness, fewer sallow complexions, more enjoyments, and a higher average in recitations, than there has been in the past.

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

Oread-Orophilian Contest.
The annual contest took place last night and was close and interesting. The Oread essayist, L. A Steblins, delivered an essay, "Conquest of Self," brim full of thought, and excellently delivered. The Orophilian essayist, Miss Clara Greenamyer, acquitted herself well with an essay on "Appearances and Reality;" but the palm was awarded to the gentleman. W. T. Reed, of Orophilian, and W. H. Brown, of Oread, debated the government ownership of railroads, Mr. Brown favoring, Mr. Reed opposing, Mr. Brown's debate was one of the features of the evening. He is one of the few who can combine thought and delivery. Mr. Reed has a vigorous style which, when toned down, will be more effective. Miss May Webster, of Oread, held the audience entranced as she told the story of "The Clown's Baby." Her fine appearance and delivery were noticeable. Miss Flora Newlin, of Orophilian, declaimed "The Wedding Gown." Miss Newlin has a splendid voice, and is one of the best declaimers in the University. W. S. Jenks, the Oread orator, spoke on "Intellect and Morality." Mr. Jenks' delivery was good but his thought was slightly wandering. F. A. Marshall orated on "The Coming Man," and his speech is said to have been one of the finest ever delivered in the University. His delivery was unbelievable.
The Judges reported that Orophilian Society had won by counting points, but the Oreands are proud because two of these Judges decided in their favor. In all respects the contest was first class.

The library is a part of the University to which students should turn their minds as much as anything. When they get out in active life they will much regret it if they do not seize the opportunity of reading such valuable books as are to be found there, when they now have the chance. We have observed that quite a number frequent the library, but only for the purpose of reviewing their lessons or hastily glancing over their county paper. If one has time to go in there at all, he certainly has time to read. Some have given the excuse that they have not time, but they only say this because they have nothing better and are those who are generally found in the corridors during hours of recitation. Let each one make the resolve that when he gets back after the holidays he will endeavor to use the library to the best advantage.
The Coming Man.
Context Oration by Frank A. Marshall
Little more than a hundred years ago our brawny young Republic, wafted by a thousand prayers and freedged with a thousand hopes, was launched upon the great ocean of human affairs. Eleven decades have passed away. Let us call a halt and find out where we are. O, pilot! what of the ship? Is the harbor in sight, and do no angry breakers lift their hungry beds above the wave to wreck our fairest hope? The answer lies on every hand.
The mind that thinks dare not look upon the condition of America today, and not feel that times "are ripe, aye, rotten ripe for change." It is vain to hug the fond delusion that all is well. Aye, the sun shines brightly upon us, but it is the fevered brightness of splendid ruin. There is a lurking thunderbolt in every beam. Inexorable fact challenges denial. We dare not gladiate with eternal truth. Look at the state of American politics to-day. The giant minds of the grand old triumvirate are gone forever. Statesmanship struggles in the depths of demagogy and open bribery goes hand in hand with secret fraud. Our statesmen are politicians. Elected by machinery, they go to our halls of congress, and there, beneath the very eyes of departed patriots and statesmen, they enact such scenes of shameless fraud that it seems as if the pictured lips above them must break their silent bonds and cry out against the profaners of the dead.
Look to the east, and every wind that blows bears upon its burdened wing the sounds of intermittent rebellion. A ridiculous travesty upon every principle of political economy violates every condition of national advancement, and changes the busy hum of contented labor to the hungry cry of destitution.
Added to this, every ship that crosses the Atlantic swells the flood of indiscriminate immigration. Hand in hand the titled snob and ruffian communist, the Irish dymmeter and German socialist, come like darkness-loving vampires to sow the seed of discontent and revolution.
Weighted with this foreign incubus, we are threatened at home. While our happy firesides smile their welcome, the nest of darkness hatches out the germs of ruin; and while we walk our busy streets by day, the sun of moon warms them into life. When we look to our public men, the hope of the nation, and see that the greed for office has detriment every kingly virtue of a statesman's nature; with religion a diluted hypocrisy and politics a profession; with four newspapers scattering broadcast the seeds of sedition and socialism; with the daily press one reckening catalogue of crime; with all this staring us face to face, dare we hug the gilded mockery of security to our fated bosoms and think to dismiss with a wave of the hand the inexorable spectre of "in and revolution?
As some tall ship tosses on a trouble drifting madly and rudderless led sea, so to-day our ship of state through a sea of dangers. But born of dire need, the God of nations shall raise up for us a pilot who shall grasp the helm of state and guide us safely through the hell of perils. And he shall be the statesman of the future—the coming man. He will be the material embodiment of all that is high and holy and true in the republic. He will be a soldier statesman—the patriot warrior whose sword leaps forth at the call of native land; no Napoleon to blind the laurels to his brow with heartstrings; no Alexander to sit enthroned on broken hearts and widow's tears; no Caesar to pluck the peckel gem of liberty from his country's brow to
He will be a Christian statesman, whose heart is nerved by the tireless inspiration of a firm, unfaltering faith, against whose pure integrity foul detraction dare not breathe a word; whose honest heart is one pure fount of noble thought; before whose unselfish love of country hungry demagogues shall blush with shame; who shall call a halt on every form of corruption and say to office-seeking demagogy, "Thus far and no farther!" who shall bar up the flood gates of headlong immigration and send back to their native lairs the wolfish horizons of dynamite and Nihilism; the man whose brain is the brain of a Webster; whose great, warm heart is true as steel; in fine, one "on whom every god shall seem to set his seal, to give the world assurance of a man."
He will not burst upon the world like a meteor that flashes across the midnight sky for one bright hour of splendor; but rather, the answer to a prayer of faith, he will rise above the horizon of human affairs, like a mild, beneficent star that guides men on to higher things, and shines before them a beacon of hope.
Conquest of Self.
I would call him Washington, but the father of his country was haughty and austere. I would call him Webster, but Webster was more of a states man than he was a man. I would call him Lincoln, but Lincoln had more of heart than heart. Like none of these alone, he will combine the best in all.
From the gardens of wisdom I would cull the brightest flowers to crown his brow. I would place the scepter of honest statesmanship in his hand, and enthrone him upon an uncorrupted ballot, the guardian of our dearest right. Then, dipping my pen in faded light, I would write above him in deathless fame, "The statesman of the future; the coming man;" the man whose grand nobility shall win back for us our birthright sinned away; who shall restore to us the priceless heritage of liberty; the immemorial patrimony of a great people.
Contest Essay by L. A. Stebbins
Whether it was a wild freak of imagination or a dream, I know not, but the other evening as I sat gazing into the fire, my thoughts wandering off through the labyrinth of possibilities, a vision arose before me. At first its appearance was indistinct and chaotic; but gradually it grew clearer, closed about me, widened, broadened and finally took definite form and shape. I became a part of it, and then I saw it was in our own beloved America; but the people had undergone a change. From them had been torn their gaudy masks, and each man stood revealed to the world in his real light. Upon every man's forehead was stamped his true worth as a man, and every one was taking rank in the opinion of his fellowmen in accord with that stamp. But as I gazed at our land made radiant in this new light of absolute justice between man and man, a strange thing happened. I saw one man's name upon the lips of every man, woman and child throughout the broad expanse of this might nation. I saw poudreous volumes being written of him to tell generations of men yet unborn of his greatness. From the north, from the south, the east and the west, the people were flocking to do him houpage, and they were calling him the greatest conqueror the world had ever known. This I could not understand. This man surely could be a greater conqueror than Alexander was, for he in twelve short years conquered the whole world; and who could do more? Even though he were a sec-
and Julius Caesar, he could not have been a greater conqueror than Caesar. By this time I think there must be some mistake; my ears must deceive me; the people of this land of absolute justice must be saying as great and not the greatest the world has ever known, for even though he has conquered the whole world he has done no more than has been accomplished by other men. And if he be a second Caesar, what Rubicond did he cross, and what Pompey to conquer? But as these thoughts ran wild through my brain, a shout and deafening, as if 'twould read in twnain the canopy of heaven, rose from the assembled millions; they had caught sight of their hero, and were wild, mad with enthusiasm. They were serrambling one over endeavor to be the first to do him honor. And they were calling him again; yes, there was no mistake this time, they were calling him the greatest conqueror the world had ever known. I, too, was wild now. Who is this man and what could he have done that he should have a higher rank than two who have conquered the whole world? I will stop this man who is rushing wildly past me, and ask him: "Sir, who is this man, and wherefore do you place him as a conqueror above Alexander, Cesar and Napoleon?" He turned, and with an angry flash in his eyes, reukeded me for daring but for a moment to compare this new hero with such men. "Sir," said he, "Alexander, Cesar and Napoleon were only famous for having conquered other men; this man has conquered himself."
To obtain complete mastery over one's self is the most difficult of all human requirements.
Every year we celebrate what we call an Independence Day. Upon that occasion we throw aside all business, rush to the cities and towns and cry ourselves hoarse with loud huzzas for liberty, and we fondly believe we are as free as the breezes that take up and renew our shouts. But we are not, we are slaves. The bondage of which I speak is not of that character from which our Revolutionary fore-fathers freed us; neither is it of that sort which Lincoln abolished, but of a type infinitely harder to eradicate—a kind of thrdloom which has silently wound its invisible threads with greater or less tightness about every member of the human family since the beginning. Its ever presence with man, and its invisible and silent nature has so accustomed him to its presence that he hardly realizes its existence; never thinks of it as servitude. Yet I repeat we are in slavery. We are slaves to ourselves; we are slaves to our appetites; slaves to our habits; slaves to our passions. Some of us are more our own masters than others, but none are free.
Look at yonder besetted wretch who has little by little sucumbed to his appetite for drink until his one aim now is to satisfy the demands of that fendish master—rum. And tell me he is not a slave? Or let us pass behind the scenes and see what is the propelling force which shapes this millionair's actions. Is it his judgement or some passion which has taken its place? Alas! it it is too often the latter; too often the case that he is striving to get more money simply to gratify his desire to be richer. Every thousand he gets is only fuel to feed the flame of his insatiable longing for more. We rarely find a man seeking to acquire great wealth that he may thereby benefit humanity, nor do he see him sitting himself down after he has a competency and coolly and deliberately asking himself this question.
"Which will bring me the most pleasure, to go on devoting my whole time and attention to money-making now
that I have a sufficiency, or to speed a part of it in other fields of labor that will give me broader and better ideas? No, behas given up his individuality, and does that which his similes longing for money dictates, and asks no questions. Within the man his judgment is no longer in the ascendency; it has become the slave, and his greed for the gold the master.
The gambler, the thief, the slug-
gard, the Sybarite and the man with
an uncontrolled temper, have all lost their individuality and become simply machines to grind out what ever fate their passions presume. What are the millions of tobacco and opium smokers but slaves to their habits?
Within every man there is a ceaseless warfare between his judgment and his passions. In one the former predominate, and he is comparatively free to do and act as it dictates; in another the latter is stronger and the man is slowly dragged down, down into menial servitude to them, until he is as much a slave as was ever a southern negro crouching at the feet of some heartless master.
In this endless conflict one's passions are ever upon the attack, while upon the judgment devotes the task of defense. In all warfare where one side is always upon the offensive and the other on the defensive, the defending party is ever working at a disadvantage, for their enemy can dictate times and places for conflict, can pounce upon them unwaives and before an organized defense can be made, the fort is their. So it is in this conflict between man's passions and his judgment. One must be ever upon the alert, for it is impossible to tell at what moment a turn in the wheel of human events may throw some powerful temptation in our pathway, that if we would gather lasting happiness to ourselves, must be resisted, but which will require all the energy of a strong will and sound judgment to repel.
Our forefathers made a goodly stride toward freedom in the common acceptance of that term when they threw off the British yoke and declared "that all men are born free and equal." But the shackles they broke were only the more tangible, noisy ones, which are forced upon some men by others. Lincoln's emancipation proclamation was pre-eminently the most masterly stroke for freedom recorded in history. But this, too, was only freedom from that slavery which comes from without. And there yet remains a work for emancipators to do—a work that will take countless millions of Lincolnns and ages of time to accomplish, if it be ever completed at all—liberation from and conquest of man's own passions. This is a work that every man must do for himself. To approach this, the goal of true freedom, man must work with ceaseless energy by day and by night, whether he be at the work-bench, in the pulpit, at the bar, in the senate or by his own fireside. In time to come, as man approaches this goal, will fair Utopia's shores draw near, and if he be reach it, then will his bark, so long tossed upon tempestuous seas, cast anchors in her fair harbor.

Why, even the Freshmen address me as "Riggs," and the Preps salute me with: "Say, Old Footsteps!" In many colleges such things would not be tolerated and they should not be here. Seniors, wake up!

Military Meeting.
The military company held its last visit before the holidays last Saturday morning. About twenty-five men were in line. At the close of a drill J. E. Grillth, in behalf of company, presented Capt. Jackson with a beautiful gold pen and holder. The captain was taken completely by surprise, but responded a few well chosen words which noted that he was an orator as well a military man.

Fair Play.
Our call upon the alumni to answer the attacks upon the University brought the article under the above head from W. Y. Morgan, of '85, city editor of the Lawrence Herald-Tribune:
The Gazette has from time to time published little squibs reflecting on the management of the University, and especially Chancellor Lippincott. Many of these criticisms have been very unjust to a man who has labored as conscientiously as Dr. Lippincott has for the interests of the University. It is to the earnest, enthusiastic work of the chancellor among the members of the legislature and the papers of the state that the erection of the beautiful natural history building on Mount Oread is greatly indebted. Dr. Lippincott took up this scheme, when by many it had been declared impossible to get such a measure through the legislature. The session before, even the appropriations for professors' salaries and running expenses had been cut down to a beggarly sufficiency. All the other institutions of the state were represented in Topeka, fighting for themselves and any extra aid to the University. In spite of all these obstacles Dr. Lippincott undertook to present the subject to the legislature, and he did his work so well that that body voted the appropriation asked for the new building and gave generous sums to carry on the old departments, when the amounts asked by the State Normal, State Agricultural College and other sate institutions, were cut down. This should be placed to the credit of Dr. Lippincott.
Phi Gamma Delta.
The leading event in society circles thus far this year was the anniversary ball and banquet given by the Phi Gamms last evening. Four years ago the K, S, U. chapter was founded, and last night the event was celebrated in a royal manner. The grand march began at nine o'clock and from that time until eleven they danced as only Phi Gamms and their lady friends can. At that hour they adjourned to Mull's, where a fine supper, prepared by that prince of caterers, Harris, was waiting for them. Dancing was then resumed, and continued until an early hour. For three years the fraternity has been recognized as one of the social institutions of the University, and the event last night showed that it was not degenerating. The chapter numbers sixteen active members, and its prospects for the future are brighter than ever.

He had just left her. The gate had just closed with an ominous click of the latch between them. The walk was slippery, and the young man's back was hardly turned when a sudden combination of sounds which can only be produced by the sudden changing of a young lady on a slippery sidewalk from a perpendicular to a horizontal position, greeted his ears, and instantly electrifying his whole being, the long wished for opportunity is at hand. He is to render her a service, and oh, how tenderly will he assist her to arise! And then, oh, maddening thought, perhaps she is really hurt, and he will be obliged to take her in his arms and bear her to the house. Fatal mistake! Claw as madly as he will at that gate, he can not open it. It is as fixed as the eternal rocks and will not yield to his mad endeavor or open it, and his fair one arises unassisted. "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these—it might have been." The touching pathos with which this young man murmured these familiar lines as he turned mournfully away, was truly heartening.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 18, 1885.
WEEK past the COURIER HEARD.
For a week past the Herald Tribune has been nauseating its readers with what "it heard about the COURIER."
WHAT THE COURIER "HEARD."
On the same basis we beg our readers to pardon us for putting in a print few things "we heard."
"We heard," That the business men said;
WHEREAS, The boycott of newspaper property is perfectly legitimate they be only necessary evils.
That they were tired of supporting two daily papers of the same politics, same idea on all local and national questions editorially: containing about the same persons and local nothings, and one of them must stop.
That they were willing to support one of them but two was too much of a tax on them and that they were,and would henceforward discriminate against one of them in advertising patronage.
That if this did not kill one of them off they would shut off on both of them until one of them did give up the ghost.
That the *little* one should die first.
That if it didn't a committee of businessmen would decide the matter.
That it had no business to live anyhow.
That The COURTER with its circulation of eight hundred in the city, for its Social Department read by everybody, would well fill its place.
That every business man on the street that they might be relieved will endorse anything the COURIER would do to bring about this desirable end.
That they have "no use" for the little fellow who is writing locals on H—T. "for experience," and that he had best stop mis-representing them or they will cremate him and use the ashes as a "sure death" on maple worms.
That the COURIE with its select social city circulation is the best advertising medium in the city.
That Mr. Chalfant the editor of the Herald Tribune has been away for the week past or the silly twaddle above referred to would never have found way in its columns. The young man who is working "for experience" is a member of the college fraternity Phi Gamma Delta, which is running the "Little Bogus Courrier" seeks to give his brethren an excuse for quitting their expensive journalistic luxury in this way. But that they see through the game.
It IS RUMORED>—That at last Sulliwan's heart has succumbed. Amen! Amen!...That Curry will hang up his hose...That Grover will hang up his boots...That the boys have all sent home orders for fattied calf
...That the sleighing is immense
...But that the two dollars per hour
is nifarious. ...That the K. S. U.
students had a game of "stink base"
on the ice last Friday. ...That Snider lost his overcoat and tickets, too
...That a certain law student has changed the name of steak to compressed vegetables. ...That the Phi Delts have a quartette. ...That Jap Davis has a bogus lip. ...That Hall made an apology to the Webster club
...That Jacobs wants to see him in private. ...That the girls would enjoy coasting more if Yearsley would fix a place for their feet on his sled
...That Fritz froze his fingers while sleighing Saturday. ...That two prominent Kappa Gamma girls have withdrawn. ...That Fred. Bowersock is "laying for" the Rumor man. ...That Prof. Carruth's classes are breathing hard today.
...That Prof. Bailey told one of his students: "If you should put a single drop of that acid on your tongue, it would kill a dog". ...That Campbell Watson is a chip of the old block. ...That The Hillside club had a battle with crackers. ...That Orochilian still wants money. ...That Higgins lost a black dollar in the Chemistry class.
Society in Oread Hall last Friday was somewhat limited in numbers, but the program though short, was good. Josie Cooke responded to the call of a declamation, and also provided music. The executive committee were instructed to perform their duty of looking over financial secretary's books. After a request an interesting debate was given on the question. Resolved, that the negro population of the United States should be colonized, by S. T. Gilmore and C. L. Smith on the affirmative, W. S. Jenks and G. W. Harrington on the negative. The judges decided in favor of the negative. Quite an interesting general discussion on the subject was then had. Adjourned
THE BOGUS COURIER AND J. D. McLAREN.
Truly the lots of the unrightrons in whatever walk of life they be found, are severe. Ne'er does man sin but he suffers therefor. Everybody will remember the part J. D. McLaren took last September in the attempt to break up the COURER. His soul relieving declaration (on ten minutes notice.)
"We are afraid of you, and I have for a month every day tied to you; we have dealt double with you; have perjured myself, all our boys have been a dishonourable hypocrite with you. We are ashamed of ourselves."
This followed by an affidavit that he had been by the Couchier company elected a business manager of the paper. For nearly three months he has devoted nearly all his time and expended necessarily a great deal of cash in attempting to sustain his nafarious undertaking. But few of the sins of the category but he has in the matter smirched his fingers with. Through age in school, made "Captain" of his fraternity he led his bretheren into actions which individually they could not have been forced into. A heavy weekly tax through his actions was imposed upon them until this week, from well substantiated reports they rebelled. Report spread Friday in K.S.U. halls that McLaren's connection with the Couchier was severed, through trouble in the fraternity itself and that the fraternity which was the only support the paper, were in open rebellion and ready to be on their own paparoon, a few of the leaders only advocating further publication. Saturday the little fellow who is writing locals and persons on the Herald Tribune "for experience," and who is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity through vested authority offered the "management and control" of the paper to one of the other fraternities of the University, if they would put a business manager on. Reports say the so favored (?) fraternity in its consideration Saturday night took action upon it as an insult. The idea of attempting to "Saddle a carcass off on us" was too much for the boys good nature. Thus pricked the boys held another meeting and evidently raised money enough to get out this week's issue putting another brother on for McLaren's work.
McLaren seen by a COURTER reporter said he was no longer manager of the paper, that II. A. Smith by the new arrangement had his place, but that until things were fixed up they were going to use his name.
PERSONAL
To this strait has this young man who knew naught of the virtues of truth or honor brought his friends and reaps his own reward.
For these young men excepting four or five the Courier has now no cause for feeling other than sympathy. They have placed themselves in a ridiculous and expensive position. Though they may and have cut the number of their papers per issue down to a minimum the setting up of the amount of type they are compelled to, makes their journalistic luxury very expensive.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL COMPANY.
Poor fraternity system.
ANOTHER sample of fraternity disintegration in K, S. U.
AGAIN it is the COURRIER's lot to herald the severed connections of two young ladies from their sisterhood, which they entered as the ideal of all that was sweet in life. "Honorably dismissed" and "resigned," are the conflicting terms now given the public by lips wont to meet in the honeyed kiss of blessed sisterhood. Within one year, seven out of the nine fraternities of K. S. U. have experienced resignations or expulsion, of members. Such is a terrible showing for fraternal feeling."

LAST weeks issue of The Louisville Republican comes to us with "all home print." For local news covering Pottawatomi county the Republican is one of our most acceptable State exchanges. Published at the home of our worthy President it was perhaps from reading the Republican he got his first ideas of aggressive, never flagging journalism. Col. Hayes, formerly of Ohio and E. D. Anderson, a young man of Kansan enterprise are the editors.
Our poor "Soporific E. C." the Review, again this week makes one of its far between visits to us. This time it is filled with slushy prepoetry re-hashed from past days of K. S. U. the effect of the reading of which pertains to the experience of the small boy in the beginning of the watermelon season. The editorial department is the only redeeming feature of the issue and even it, is quite soporific. Exchange manities to be funny at the expense of the COURIER by devoting half of his department to a nauseating attempt to say something funny. Poor old "Soporific E. C," when will it bloom again?

The publishers of The Current announce that, by a recent sale, this leading Western weekly becomes the property of George W. Wiggs, Esq., a Chicago capitalist, and that its entire management will be intrusted to Alva E. Davis, Esq., a publisher of experience and wide acquaintance and interests. The editorial direction will remain in the hands of Gustavus C. Matthews, formerly of the Louisville Courier Journal and the Indianapolis News (who has been an associate editor from the founding of the paper in 1883), and of John McGovern, late of the Chicago Tribune, who assumed the duties of an associate editor of The Current in July, 1884. We learn that with the recent purchase the differences so long existing between The Current and the Western News Company come to an end which will be profitable for both parties. Hereafter The Current will receive the aid and encouragement of this powerful distributing concern.
Remember Wiedeman when you want toys.
ONE of the most important things which the holidays produce in the was of an intellectual recreation, is the Kansas State Teachers' Association. Once a year there assemblies at Topeka, a body of the most valuable, earnest, self-sacrificing men that this enterprise State can furnish. The session for 1885 will begin Dec. 28 and last four days. The coming convention promises to be one of the best ever held in Kansas. Not only the professors but the students may be greatly benefitted by going to Topeka for a day or more. It is quite true the University is not a normal school, but every citizen needs a good general idea of our school system and of school men, their thoughts and methods. Nowhere can this be gained quicker or more accurately than by an occasional attendance upon the State Teachers association.
Once more the holidays are here. After several months of hard study, the student is glad to lay aside his books, and emerge again into the busy merry-making world. How pleasant it is "to see the old familiar faces and hear the old familiar voices again" at home. What a succession of happy associations follows the thought of Christmas holidays! What pleasures, what delightful times! As the bright hues, delicate touches and tints of light here and there relieving the dark back-ground make the canvass sparkle with the vigor and reality of life, so these pleasant recreations, coming now and then to relieve the toil and fatigue of mental discipline, are the bright spots in a students life. To-nay begins the two weeks of holiday for the students of Kansas State University,—two weeks, the COURIER hopes, of unalloyed pleasure for all. Before you leave, we ask a favor of you, and that is, that you take a copy of the COURIER home with you and show it to your friends and tell them what we are doing here as a college and induce them to join our ranks. A pleasant time to all, and may you return with a clearer mind and a better heart for study again, is the COURIER's wish.
OUR SPANISH NEIGHBORS.
The present New Orleans exposition is aiming at a laudable object. The United States ought to control the trade of the continent. Instead of that we are overshadowed by England in the ports of our next-door neighbors. We expound our views upon the Monroe doctrine while our real influence among the Spanish-American republics is small compared with that of Europe. The time is coming when we must establish closer intercourse with these countries, not only for the sake of pecuniary profit, but for the sake of continued peace and good understanding among the countries of both Americas, Political and commercial prudence would not have allowed our relations with these countries to drift at hazard this long.
In a circular recently sent out by the New Orleans commissioners, a suggestion of real worth is made. He argues that Spanish is the only foreign language of any great practical importance to the people of the United States. All the republics to the south of us are Spanish. The leading foreign market for our surplus manufactures must be Spanish-America. We must go there for business purposes, and ability to speak the language will be worth millions of dollars to us. The commissioner thinks, therefore, that our colleges should encourage students to learn Spanish. The future of our necessary intercourse with our Spanish neighbors is so evident that the suggestion should command attention.—Kansas City Times.
Such training is in demand now and no school in the United States is so peculiarly well situated, being directly in the path of this trade for such instruction, as K. S. U. Our board of regents say they have not the money. As students we say cut some other department for it. Direct practical instruction should be extended whenever possible. We believe the legislature in its coming session, the matter brought before its attention, would make the proper small appropriation necessary.
Twice per day the homes of Lawrence and thrice the business men are visited by our ever faithful, never failing mail-boys. How many think or know of the work required to get out our letters and papers with such systematic, never delaying regularity? Five o'clock a.m. these winter mornings finds Allie Diggs at his table where Lewis or Guest the night clerks have stamped "Lawrence" and dumped the night mails distributed all for the five carriers, who each takes the same from their pigeon-holes to their own tables where it is arranged as per delivery. Soon Howard Duncan and Willie Spalding are out over the west part of the city with Mr. Jas, Hughes and Walter Willis on the east and Ward Harmon over the river and we are awakened from our morning dreams by the cry of "mail." Frank Davis acts as general substitute. On the special delivery service prominent is Walter Gairnes who on the arrival of mail has a s. d. letter in our hand "winkle."
Postmaster Shannon and Assistant Woodruff are to be congratulated on the efficiency of their force and the systematic order to which everything about the office is reduced. Though the carrier system is but a few month old in our city, complaints of anykind are exceptional. No class appreciates this more than our students.
THE LIBRARY.
While the University is growing in all of its departments, those departments which are seen at a moment, and do not require investigation to appreciate their growth receive most recognition in the college papers. It is of more importance that we have a first-class library, which lends aid to all students, than that one department should be so greatly enhanced, to the neglect of the others. A library is one of the essential requisites of a university. It concerns more students than anything else connected with an institution of learning. The library of the State University is making slow but sure progress. At the last session of the legislature, the library fund was doubled, making it an annual fund of $1,000. The accessions to the library since August first have numbered five hundred and three volumes. These have been distributed through the various departments To the departments of literature, history and political science, the greatest number of additions have been made. The books treating of these subjects are used by the general body of students more than any other. Among the volumes added to the department of history and political science, forty six congressional volumes are the most valuable. Owing to the perseverance of Prof. Miller the collection of the proceedings of congress has been secured. Only eleven volumes are wanting to make a complete report of the legislative power of this country. In addition to the new volumes one hundred and fifty-four old volumes have been rebound and placed on the shelves since August first. Five daily, and fifty-three weekly newspapers are placed on file for the benefit of students. Of the daily papers, two are published at Lawrence, two at Topeka, and one at Hutchinson. The weekly papers are published in the various towns in the State. The leading periodicals of the country are received. The "Century Magazine," "North American Review," "Atlantic Monthly," "Harper's" Monthly Magazine, and magazines of music, art and science. The library is be indexed. When this work is completed the facilities for using it will be greatly increased. The system of indexing is that used in the best libraries of the East. The subjects are carded and arranged in alphabetical order. Some volumes have as many as fifty cards. The books of the library have been selected with care, and as a result all

We fell in with Mr. Wm. Stark, of San Marial, N. M., a few days since, and he said he came to this city four weeks ago so blind that he had to be led about. He could distinguish light from darkness, and day from night, but that was about all. A cataract began to grow over each eye last December, and continued to increase till it became as above stated, so blind that it was necessary for him to be led about. When he came to this city he placed himself under the treatment of Doctors Kimberlin & McKee, and was by them treated with an eye drops. The knife he had to be used. He says since he has been treated for this difficulty he can now get around by himself without assistance, and his impaired vision is constantly improving. He did not look like a blind man, nor like one that four weeks ago had to be led around, and yet this is the account he gave of himself and how he came to see. That tender member, the eye, had passed under the surgeon's knife and had not suffered damage, but had rather been recovered from the night that was set ting in upon him.
Our line of black and colored dress silks, although perhaps not quite so large as a few weeks ago, represents as good qualities and popular makes as can be found in any other dry goods house in the city. If you contemplate buying a silk dress during the next year, buy it now. We save you money; we know it. L. BULLENE & Co.

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

ATCHISON BUSINESS COLLEGE
With a Grand Re-union and Reception in the College Halls, Friday evening, January 8th.
Enterprising Young Men and Women who wish to secure all the advantages 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.
These Colleges have a larger attendance than all the other Commercial Schools in the State of Kansas combined, and the reputation of these institutions and their success in the past 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. We herewith give a brief outline of the course of study as taught in these schools:
Book-Keeping, by single and double entry, in all its practical and scientific details, and the use of Day Book, Journal, Cash Book, two and six column Journal, General and Depositor's Ledger, Bill Book, Collection and Discount Register, Depositor's Journal, Commission Sales Books; and, in short, all the various books used in business.
Actual Business Department, or the department of experience, in which students get actual practice in Retailing, Wholesaling, Banking, Tele-
graphing, Transporting, Letter Writing, Managing Real Estate Offices,
Commission Houses, etc.
Actual Experience in making Commercial Transactions, Drawing Business Papers and Forms of every description, including Promissory Notes, Checks, Drafts, Orders, Bills of Exchange, Contracts, Bills of Sale, Insurance Policies, Deeds, Mortgages, Leases, etc., the student is qualified to successfully perform the many and important duties of actual business life.
All subjects discussed in Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Loan, Letter Writing, and many others, are put in actual use in this, the most practical department in the College. After receiving this amount of
Actual Practice in keeping Counting House Books of all classes, and
Commercial Law embraces the chief principles of law in the United States governing the every day transactions of business life, including Contracts, Agency, Partnership, Negotiable Paper, Life, Fire and Marine Insurance, Transportation of Goods by land or water, Drawing of all kinds of Commercial and Legal Papers, etc., etc.
Actual Business Department brings into practice Letter Writing, as a large proportion of the business is done by correspondence, the same as though the parties actually lived in different cities.
Business Penmanship, by which is meant a plain, legible business hand; one that can be written rapidly, devoid of flourishes or ornaments, and read at a glance.
*Business Correspondence*, or Letter Writing, is a very essential part of a commercial education, and is made a prominent study. The
All who contemplate entering this winter are requested to be present, as far as possible, the opening week, for the formation of classes and the enjoyment of the Re-union and Reception exercises.

CUPID'S DARTS.
All communications for this Department should be sent to Misses Clara Greenamer, Maude Mansfield or J. Sullivan.
WHERE THEY HAVE STUCK IN OUR CITY—COMING EVENTS CAST THE SHADOWS BEFORE — WEDDING CHIMES.
News of marriages and engagements in Lawrence continue with unabated virulence. The epidemic is appalling to the ineligible, and has been raging with unusual severity this season. Financial condition, religion or health, receive no consideration. Anxious mammas begin to discuss the advisability of sending their susceptible sons and daughters to a school where the social atmosphere is not so seriously infected.
In various ways we have secured evidence of targets of Cupid's darts which received the shafts when unmailed and unprotected, they reaching the vital spit upon whose penetration all mankind yield.
Now in communication with His Majesty we will expect henceforth to be informed of his successes in his archery and will from time to time, give our readers the benefit of his work in our city.
The "most exquisite young man of the city," of the Southern Kansas offices, has evidently allowed his heart to be carried away by the piquant young belle of past K. S. U. days, now of Fort Scott.
His Chum, watches with great anxiety every mail, for a letter from the East where She is pursuing her vocal music studies.
The young gentleman, now of Princeton's classic halls during his vacation home this summer evidently received lasting impressions of a dark young lady near Lidonia and Henry.
The pleasant young coal contractor of the U. P. road and the young lady of the "Stone Mansion" of south Tennessee street seem to "bear an understanding."
Holiday week a prominent young railroad man now of Tepka, moths sister and home yet of our city, will take unto himself as life's partner ev'r to cherish, a young lady, whoring her short residence in Lawrence as instructress in the family of a then minister, was noted for a sweetness in personal appearance and temperament.
To the public yet enshoured in mist, is the "coming day" of a prominent young railroad employee and one of Lawrence's most favorite fair ones—the daughter of a minister.
Nearer perhaps, but no surfer, is the coming knot, which will "make one," a prominent young farmer of Grant township and a popular young alumnae of K.S. U.-class of '84.
Dame Rumor, connects the fortunes of a prominent young Miss of the present Senior class of K. S. U., with a young railroad magnate of Washington Territory. Again our informant whispers, a young capitalist of Wichita, whose letters, per information from the Postal Service "weighs a pound," is the favored man.
A nystic spirit pervades our sanctum, combining the names of a prominent belle, whose beautiful home overlooks the ice Kaw and "A cousin" who visited our city recently. Whispering on, the spirit says a dark young man from the North will come during Christmas days for his answer, which probably will be—no Again, that the many "Would-be's" of our city will be smiled upon and kept in happy suspense for years yet.
A prominent young druggist and the charming young daughter of one of our respected physicians have spoken the words which create "Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one."
The young proprietor of a south Massachusetts street business house and the favorite of the lady clerks in McIntire's will soon stand before the altar and answer to the sacred ceremony.
Another clerk of Mr. McIntire's of the sterner sex promises to soon take unto his heart, a life's companion, in a graduate of the Business College of two years ago, and a favorite in the corps of city teachers last year.
A young mail agent, of the Santa Fe, has evidently been made happy, by the thrilling - Yes - from the niece of the niece of our prominent "Round
Corner" drugstret. The young gentleman's mother will also soon loose a daughter, whose heart is also n "Mall boy's."
Two of the most popular of our city mail system carrier boys promise us an item in the near future. One, the every happy boy says his "sweety," has been all the truer since their separation through her visit at Colorado Springs last summer. The other says, notwithstanding many trying disappointments, on the setting of the happy day he now has his "birdie," the daughter of a prominent renat-estate agent, so caged in promises that she cannot much longer hold off the day.
The son of one of our prominent book merchants has recently made up with his "first and only" after a long era of coldness, and through his inuence, Cupid is now undoubtedly using his best and truest carts.
Our last message tells of happy ideas existing between one of the most charming young members of the Military company and book-keeper in one of the south Massachusetts street dry goods houses and a young lady until recently a clerk in the same establishment and now of Kansas City. We await the date in anxiety.
USHER GUARDS. — Company H, gave another of their very pleasant dances on Monday night, having been postponed from Thursday night. Quite a large crowd was in attendance and as usual spent a very delightful evening. Company H. should receive the thanks of all lovers of the terpschleorean art, for without their dances this season, that line of amusement would have passed from society circles. The hall was pleasantly arranged and the music up to the standard. Among those present the following names were obtained: Misses Belle Roberts, Alice Noble, Emma Lewis, Mike Tisdale, Carrie Steinberg, Ruth Woodard, Fannie Levy, May Porter, Lily McConnell, Nellie Headley, Eva Hoodley, Mattie Bristol, Clara Greenanyer; Mesdames Moody, McCarty, Tracy; Messrs. M. Strauss, Dan Crew, Abe Levy, J. Baine, Geo Noble, L. Lewis, Lee Lettier, Will Roberts, Chas. Stone, Ben. Akers, Charles Meyers, Geo. Tracy, Groenor, Geo Leonard, George Anderson, Herb, Bullene, Nettie Littell, Fred Morris, Wm. Penfield
DANCING CLUB:—The little folks dancing club met at the residence of Mr. Van Hoesen on Friday last. The young folks entered into the dancing with all the vivacity of youth. They were light and gay fairly swimming over with jubilant spirits. The evening passed away only too quickly and the little folks were forced to go, much against their inclinations. Misses Rilla and Luvy proved themselves charming little hostesses. Guests present: Misses Bella Stinchair, Stella Hynes, Carrie McEwen, Don Burrie and Genie Bowersock, Mamie Spencer, Genevieve Howland, Messrs. Albert, Flintom, Freed, and Jus. Bowersock, Hal Noble, Paul Leonard and Billie Spencer.
SCHUBERT CLUCK:—The Schubert club met at Col. Nobles residence on Thursday last. The afternoon was spent in a most enjoyable manner. The program for the next meeting was made out, the chief study will be the life of Haydn. They expect the meeting to be an exceedingly interciting one. Members of the club present: Meodames Beaty, Parke, Bierer, Grant, Bates, Davis; Misses Alice Noble, Birdie Starr, Mable Gore.
The pupils of Miss May Anderson, the talented young elocutionist, will give a recital on Saturday evening at the Press club rooms. Miss Anderson is meeting with wonderful success as a teacher of elocution. Topека Capital.
JOLLY COASTERS—The hill on Quincy street has been for the past few days a perfect living, moving confusion of sleights of every description and "bob sleds" innumerable. But no more hilarious party ever took advantage of the "path of snow," than a party of students of K.S. U. on last Thursday night. Many lightning trips were made and many eager to ride down, were just as eager to ride up—instead of helping to escort the heavy sled. About

OROPHILIAN WINS.
The Greatest Victory of the Series won by Orophilian.
A please pendence womanho by a COU evening to Wamgoo.
MOTTO : Fraternity Rule Must be Broken.
Leads by 13 12 Points.
The Sixth Annual Contest between Oread and Orophilion societies last night, resulted in an overwhelming victory for Orophilian, the aggregate grades of the judges giving Orophilian the contest by thirteen and a half points, the largest victory ever awarded a society in the series of contests.
Vol. IV. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, December 18. No. 15.
The instrumental music furnished by Phi Kappa Psi orchestra, was very good. The boys are doing well and promise their organization a very nice feature of K.S.U. Dan Crew's vocal solos, Albach's flute sola, and Crew, Higgins, Blair and Nowlin's quartet, were well received.
In the essay contest Mr. Stebin's production on "Conquest of Self," was inlied to be loose and bulky in words for the thought contained. Miss Greenwayman on "Appearances and Reality" was a very original production in thought. The field covered one which has been comparatively non-explored in English literature, and her effort was highly appreciated through its freshness of ideas. Her delivery was very pleasing.
The debate between Messrs. Reed, of Gophilian, and W.H. Brown, on Resolved," That the railroad system of the United States should be owned and operated by the Federal Government, rather than by the present system."
The debate between Messrs. Reed, of Orphilian, and W.H. Brown, on
was one of the ablest perhaps ever heard in K.S.U. The two efforts would have done justice to Congressional halls. Mr. Reed's evidence lead over his opponent lay in his more logical arrangement of his argument and terse deductions.
In the oratorical contest, Mar. Marshall, of Ogeopillan, on "The Coming Man," sustained his well-established reputation as an orator. Mr. Jekens, on "Intellect and Morality," surpassed all former brilliant efforts. A more meaty production in thought has seldom been heard in chapel.
Miss Mary Webster, of Oread, in the declaration "The Clown's Baby," proved very popular with the audience. Miss Newlin, on "The Wedding Gown," proved herself a very charming declaimer.
The judges, Col. O, E. Learnard, Col. A, Graibrowski and Rev Stote, brought in the above decision, which of course was well received by Orophillians. The judges in refusing to turn over the individual grades, were arbitrary beyond precedence, and deserve censure therefor.

PRESBYTERIAN SOCIAL;—The Presbyterian apron social, held at the elegant residence of Mr. Henley on Louisiana street, Tuesday evening was in every sense a success. It was not one of those regular conventional "church affairs," where the people range themselves in lines along the wall, and eye each other with suspicion, longing for the time to come, when they can go home with out violating proprieties, but one of those real good old times where a perfect elystium of cheerfulness and merry laughter filled the hours. A good lunch for the hungry was served about 11, and the major part of the assemblage did good justice there to. Most of the aprons were sold, and at a very fair price. The surplus of apron, and tea will be held as a nucleus, around which will cluster arrangements: for another just such a "fine time," when all who love a pleasant evening will be heartily welcomed. Those present: Dr. and Mrs. Osmond, Mr. and Mrs. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Boles, May Russell, Mesdames Hill, Lane and DeLong, Mr. Johnson, Mr. McKee, Bella Love, Alice Noble, Prof. and Mrs. Bally, Mr. and Love, Mrs. Benedict, Mr. and Mrs. Geo, Ienes, Mrs. Glinn, Mr. and Mrs. Shannon, Bersile Argo, Maude Mansfield, Mr. and Mrs. Col.

Kansas City. Amanda came into the car with Kansas City evening papers, one of which the lady in question took, handling the sharp young man a nickel. Her eye at once catching the price, two cents, on the paper, indignant at the young man's action, she called him back saying "Young man the price of this paper is two cents." To this the importment fellow only turned on his heel and left the car. Shortly returning with "peanuts only five a glass," as he approached the lady's seat a peculiar look was noticed to come into her eyes, as she nodded assent to a glass of peanuts. Opening her purse with "Now young man we're even." She handed him two pennies. Her neighbors who had witnessed all applauded. "Peanut" looked imp and only summoned courage enough to say "Madame you're ahead and here's another glass in the bargain. The heroine is a Lawrence lady.

It makes us feel lonesome to walk down Massachusetts street, and not meet the boys and girls of the University, but 'tis only for a little while that they are gone.
C. D. Dean, our former business manager, now city editor of the Lawrence Journal, took H. F. Smith and C. E. Parker through the University Tuesday.
The citizens of Lawrence are learning to appreciate university entertainments. The chapel was crowded twice in one week by people who climbed Mount Oread to listen to university music and oratory.
The A., T. & S. F. depot was a lively place at 11 O'clock last Friday night. About a dozen boys left on the night train, and twenty more were there to see them off. They made the place ring with their songs and yells.

Crew says for all students to come to his store first for their second term books. Remember this. He evidently means low prices. As a patron of student enterprises generally he deserves special consideration. Extending cut rates, give him your trade.
The Courier appears this morning with its Social Department brim fall. An article headed "Cupid's Darts" announces that the editor is in communication with His MaJesty, and as a beginning details the reported engagements of nearly a score of couples of young people in the city. No names are given, but all recognizances are easily deduced. Sullivan announces behead he is responsible for the article, that it is work of the addresses of men who want to be made receptacle of any irre generated thereon. It especially will be found very interesting reading. Sullivan does not announce when the wedding, but we understand it to be in the early days of June, or perhaps sooner, if the sleighing should improve.—Journal.
George Bergen, a K.S. U. student of '82, now of Washburn College, has a good article in the Washburn Argo.
Nineteen new volumes were received at the University yesterday for the library. The list includes the fifth volume of Van Halst's History of the United States, besides several valuable works on mathematics and political economy.
With pleasure we give space to
the following exclamation received :
The Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity wishes to explain terms used in the columns of the Courier. "Honorably dismissed" and "resigned," as referring to the action of two members of K, K, G, who have recently withdrawn from the fraternity, are not at all conflicting when an explanation of the term "honorably dismissed" is given. The term means simply that the resignation was accepted.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 24, 1885.
As we did not have space last week to give a full report of the first concert this season given by the department of music on the fifteenth of December, we present an account to our readers now. Notwithstanding the slippery walks, the mild weather brought out a large audience, and University hall was well filled. The performers were Miss Mabel Gore, Mr. P. D. Aldrich, and the Messrs. Dorner. Prof. MacDonald had intended to take part but was prevented by sickness. Miss Gore, however, made an excellent substitute, though she had only one day for preparation, and gave some fine selections on the piano. Miss Gore is undoubtedly one of the best pianists in the University. The Messrs. Dorner rendered beautiful music on the 'cello and violin, and were heartily applauded by the audience. Mr. Aldrich made his first appearance in public, and showed that he had a fine baritone voice, well cultured. His songs were very pleasing, and were well received by the audience. This was the fifth recital of the Department of Music, and was a success in every respect, giving evidence of the great prosperity of the department. The next concert will be given on the ninth of February

If our merchants could get Kansas City profits for their goods, guess some of us would not be going out of business.

PROF. SPRING'S KANSAS.
We have intended for sometime to place before our readers press and other notices we have been enabled to secure on Prof. Spring's recent able work on "Kansas."
"The captivating interest of Prof. Spring's book makes the story fresh even to those who lived through the war of it."—Worcester Spy. (Mass.)
"Prof. Springs work is perhaps the most interesting of the entire series as far a s published and is made first by his ability as a writer. * **His admirable work has evidenced that he is able to hand all sorts of personal and documentary evidence." —The Dial. (Chicago.)
"Written with great spirit and vivacity."—The Bookseller.
Prof. Spring makes a very lively and readable book of his *Kansas.* * * *
He relates the history with vivacity and what is more important a judiciously discriminating temper. In the tremendous encounter of slavery with freedom between 54 and '58 there is much that needs to be treated in a fair and just manner, with out patitionism, without prejudice or discrimination. Prof. Spring attains satisfactory." — The American, Philadelphia
"I think the 'Kansas' exceedingly well done." — Edward L. Piece, editor of Charles Summer's works.
"The test of Prof. Springs historical ability is to be found in his treatment of John Brown's Potteratome massacre. This treatment is able and impartial, surpassing in any way Mr. B.P.Sanborn. The state's cruelty, slavery struggle and the later development of the State is written with postbelium fairness and in the historical temper."—The Critic. (New York.)
"The Kansas" seems to be genuine history. "The Standard (Chicago).
"Prof. Spring's work exhibits diligent research, discrimination in the selection of materials and skill in combining his chosen stuff into a form that has unity and order and inclusivity." -Harrford Conant. (Conn.)
"The 'Kansas' contains much that is exceptionally good judged from a purely literary stand point."—The News. (Chicago.)
"The work is able and it seems to be impertial." * * It is written as a history should be. It is vivid in its narration; it never forgets that justice was all on the side of the free-state men. Yet it avoids the spirit throughout in a purely spiritual spirit throughout. "Templemen."
"The story of the Kansas struggle is cogently and graphically told in these pages."—The Advertizer. (Boston).
"Prof. Spring is clearly in sympathy with the free-state party and so far out of sympathy with the proslavery squatters that his state of mind resembles a badly concealed but bitter prejudice. * * * * *
His book is throughout fascinating and one can discount the political bias of the author by knowing that it exists." —Kansas City Times,
*Proof Spring sympathizes with our enemies all through his book. * **
It is an insult to Kansas, a slap in the back to the war in the Tappan Commonsheit.
"I do not agree with all your judge
ments of men and measures but I do
most heartily congratulate you on
producing so vigorous and interest
ing a book."—Henry King.
"The story is told in a very effective manner. * **There** is a vein of humor which runs along with it. Many a sad chapter would be unnatural without this. Nowhere were comedy and tragedy ever more intimately blended."—Evening Transcript. (Boston.)
"There are ten men in Kansas who could have written the history better [than Prof. Spring] and I trust not many who could have done it worse in Mr. Krugston."—F. B. Saborn in the Spring field *Republican*.

"I have read your Kansas with great pleasure. It has all the romance of the sea as it does," * * Your graphic and dramatic presentation of the facts has grooped and crystallized in my own mind what was before fragmentary and desultory, and I am personally very grateful to you. * * The history of this struggle as you have presented it I believe will live peoniously in our literature." H. O. HORTONS,
The head of the firm of Houghton Mifflin & Co.
"The Kansas' is so vivid in its
pictures and moves so rapidly in its recitals that one can hardly drop it until he has finished the last page." — Zions Herald. (Boston).
"FALL. RIVER. MASS."
"It itse like going back to the stirring days from 1850 to 1860 to read the admirable narrations in Christian Adocute. (New York)."
"I want to congratulate you on the success of Prof. Spring's book. I have read with great delight the many, many complimentary notices and reviews which I have seen of it." Florence Finch Kelley.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL COMPANY.
THE COURIER will appear on Thursday next week.
INDUCE your friend at home to return to Lawrence with you and enter the beginning of the second term, February 8.
EVERY student while at home should complete arrangements with his or her county paper to furnish a series of letters from Lawrence.
We are pleased to receive another Kansas college journal, No. 1, vol. 1, of the Washburn Argo. The first number makes a good showy, and gives promise of an excellent paper. The editorial staff is a good one, Ellsworth Ingalls, son of the senator, being the editor in-chief. We rather like the Argo, and think Washburn is to be congratulated on its journal.
The Democrat,a new paper,comes to us from Wamego, Kansas, with the name of that steamish old friend of K. S. U., Prof. T. S. Murray at its masthead. Politically it is Democratic, after the old Jeffersonian school; locally it evidently has the interests of the county and its thriving young city at heart. It is one of the brightest State exchanges we receive.
The city's action in leaving the place in front of the Hoag place, on Tennessee street, without a sidewalk is a disgrace. That street is used almost exclusively by the students when going and coming from the University, and during muddy weather is almost impassable. Young ladies lose their rubbers, and at night persons are liable to step into a hole and pitch headlong, as two or three have done. The matter should be attended to immediately.
PROF. W. H. CARRUTH left for Europe last Sunday, to be gone until next August. He goes first to Boston to attend the Association of the Professors of Mdern Languages, thence to Germany, where he will attend a University in order to further his knowledge of the German language. He will be greatly missed by the students, with whom he is very popular, and by his many friends. Prof. Carruth is doing a great work for the University, both publicly and privately, in different parts of the State. Since he has had charge of the Lecture Course it has flourished as it never did before, and its great success last year is entirely due to him. He is also the leading spirit in the Association of the Professors of Modern Languages in this State, and is chairman of the executive committee of that association. He is one of the self-made men of the times, having procured his own education, and the greatest credit is due him for having elevated himself to his present influence and popularity.

OREAD AVENUE.
Lying just north of the University campus and directly west of the proposed Oread avenue is a small tract of land including about five acres. This would make a fine site for a gymnasium—which is one of the things that will come in a few years—and could be conveniently used for other buildings if necessary. It is properly a part of the University campus and should some day come into the possession of the University. This tract belongs to Gov. Robinson. With his usual generosity he has decided to give this land to the University, and as evidence of that fact has made a conveyance of the same to the Board of Regents of the University and placed the instrument into the hands of Mayor Pochler to be delivered to the University authorities, when Oread avenue is completed to Hancock street. Thus it will be seen upon the completion of the work recently commenced by the city, this valuable property will come into the possession of the University, and Gov. Robinson will have added one more to his already large number of gifts to this institution.
It is also learned that Judge Bassett has agreed to give twenty feet of the east front of his residence lots to the city for the Oread avenue if the city will continue it beyond Hancock street, and as this will decrease the amount of grading necessary to reach Hancock street, the offer will undoubtedly be accepted, and soon Oread avenue will be a fact. When the grading is completed Gov. Robinson will plant trees on each side of the avenue, and will see that they are cured for upon the consideration that the University authorities will go to the expense of laying a plank sidewalk along it.
This avenue completed will be of great value to the University, in that it will furnish a beautiful and easy approach and will open upon and make accessible to the students, the entire portion of West Lawrence. We hope that every effort will be made to keep alive this Oread avenue business until it is pushed to successful and final completion.
THE Congregational church in Southern Kansas is establishing a school at Eureka Academy, to be opened next September. It is proposed to make this academy a thorough fitting school for the higher educational institutions of the State. This is a move in the right direction, and we are glad to see that one church appreciates the fact that Kansas does not need more one-horse colleges, but good preparing schools. If any church has superfluous funds and energies, let it establish a good academy, and the University can well take care of all desiring higher collegiate education.
THE literary society contest the other night made it quite evident that a better and more satisfactory system of marking is greatly needed. At almost every contest we have had much trouble about the decision, and the victory claimed by both sides. The aggregate system of marking seems to be most unfair, as the victory is generally placed by it where it does not belong. Deciding by rank, as is the custom of the Oratorical Association, is vividly the most just and impartial way. If two judges out of three rank one side ahead, that side without a doubt ought to have the victory. The societies should settle this immediately, as the present loose arrangements are entirely inadequate. The decision of two judges would have given Oread the victory this year and Orophilian last year, but by the aggregate system the third judge reversed the order of things both times. That the opinion of one man should count for more than that of two, is altogether wrong, and a change should be made.
At the contest last Thursday evening, on several occasions, parties in the back part of the room hissed the exercises. No one present will seriously claim that there was any performance so objectionable that it merited any such marks of disapprobation, and the only reason that can be given for such action was the general "cusseliness" of the individual who did it. This is unworthy a person who has any deciency or self respect. If the parties indulge in any more such amusement, we hope the faculty will take the matter in hand and give them, if students, an opportunity to visit their "mamas," and if from the city, turn them over to the authorities. If persons attending entertainments of this kind cannot act with common politeness they should be prohibited from associating with decent people.

While speaking concerning the work of the higher classes I might say that it is vastly different from the freshman and sophomore work in this respect that it is less confined to the class room and consists more in original research and individual investigation. This seems to me an especially good reason why higher students should not be compelled to be at recitation every day, though they would probably be present most of the time if allowed their choice in the matter. I myself would occasionally prefer to spend an hour in the library to reciting because I could benefit myself more thereby. Others doubtless feel the same need and would appreciate the privilege if it were allowed.
Our system here of getting abences excused is a rather peculiar one anyway. Every student is bound to have some abences every term, and the ordinary way of geting excused is to fabricate the most plausible lie possible. Would not it be more conducive to the cultivation of honor and truthfulness among the students, if they were allowed a reasonable number of unexcused abences each session, and then be required to give a really good excuse for rest of the failures to be present? I believe it would be a good thing, and ought to be tried
* * * *
Audiences at the University are generally very well behaved, but there is an occasional exception, as at the concert a short time since. In one corner of the hall there seemed to be sort of a rogues' gallery, which kept up a continued biting oftime, bissing and various other ungentlemanly things. Some of these thoughtless and rude persons were from the city, or more likely from the country, but I am sorry to say that there were few students among them. Such conduct seems most uncalled for, especially at a free entertainment, and from students too it is most disgraceful. But then I suppose they were preparatory students who didn't know any better, because they had left their mothers too soon. Now I hope they will find out that actions of such a kind are not considered funny by intelligent people, but the height of berrishness. If I should ever see rudeness of this sort again, I will be greatly tempted to give the names of the rowdies to the public.

The Boston Department Store has the largest stock of holiday goods ever shown in Lawrence. Visit its store and be convinced of the fact.
There is no reason why you can

We leave our case in the hands of the people. If we are worthy of support and patronage bestow it, if not, withhold it. We make the trade—because we sell cheap.
While the merchants are com-
plaining of hard times, the Boater

VIEWS.
Ed. VIEWS:—It has been said you can judge a person by the company he keeps. This is true, but is it not equally true that we of the University can judge a student by the use he makes of his vacant hours? Each student, if he be regularly pursuing any one of the collegiate courses, has but three recitations each day, and no student is required to take more than three studies. This leaves one hour each day to every student at his own disposal. The library furnishes excellent opportunities for reading and study. During a half session, by using one vacant hour each day, one can read a number of instructive books, or by pursuing some special topic, can lay by a great store of not many years ago. A graduate of not many years ago, and who stood among the best in his class, remarked to me at the beginning of this year: "I wish I could take my course over again, knowing as well as I do now the value of each portion of the four years embracing the course. Things that I ought to know I do not, simply because I did not utilize my spare moments in looking them up. And now when I would look them up I have not the means at hand." His experience should serve as an admonition to those now neglecting like opportunities. If students generally, would realize the value of "vacant hours," we would have less promenading in the hauls, less non-sensical conversation on insignificant topics, less sitting on the stairs, less political scheming, less disturbance for those who are busy, less complaint from the faculty, and more hard work. PAUL PRY.
ED. VIEWS:—Let every student enjoy the present holiday. Wholesome and virtuous pleasure is discountenanced by no one, as life is incomplete without pleasure. In selecting our amusements let us choose that which if it benefits us not, will do no harm. That which will rest and invigorate the mind. If a student is compelled to make up work, study diligently while he is studying, and then take recreation. He that is so fortunate as to have no extra work, is justified in wholesome and pleasurable recreation. Every student should take plenty of bodily exercise, and also provide himself with some profitable as well as enjoyable book, which may be read during odd moments. Almost unconciously the pleasant drifts into the beneficial. If his pleasure is pure, true pleasure, he will return invigorated bodily and mentally. And upon his return, let each be resolved to apply himself more diligently than before.
A BLIND MAN SEES.
It is not a thing we wish to blow about—but we will sell you a coloree Silk for 50c a yard, that Kansas City merchants would call a great bargain at one dollar a yard. L. BULLENE & Co.
We fell in with Mr. Wm. Stark, o,
San Marcial, N. M., a few months,
and said he came to this city four
weeks ago so blind that he had to be
led about. He could distinguish light from darkness, and day from
night, but that was about all. A
cataract began to grow over each eye
last December, and continued to increase
till he became as above stated,
so blind that it was necessary for
him to be led about. When he came
to this city he placed himself under
the treatment of Doctors Kimberlin
& McKee, and was by them treated
for his difficulty. The surgeon's
disease required him to have the
he has been treated for this difficulty
he can now get around by himself
without assistance, and his impaired
vision is constantly improving. He
did not look like a blind man, nor
like one that four weeks ago had to
be led around, and yet this is the
account he gave of himself and how
he came to see. That tender member,
the eye, had passed under the
surgeon's kafe and had not suffered
damage, but had rather been recovered from the night that was set
ting in upon him.

EXCHANGE SPIRIT.
It is hardly possible that any one can infer that education is an evil or even that American methods of college education disqualify men for success in life. In this country the vast body of the unsuccessful are the uneducated. If there is no lack of proof that the professions are crowded with failures, the answer is swift—that the mass of the failures did not receive the best education, and that there are vastly more failures in unprofessional avocations. The great American failure is a man who has learned to read, write and cipher, and has set up as a business man without mental discipline or moral ballasting. The pert fool, who at sixteen gets behind a counter when he ought to be in school, becomes the conspicuously unsuccessful man of this country. He has no trade, he knows no business. He is too lazy to work with his hands; he can wear good clothes at other people's expense; he can corrupt political life; he can talk glibly without saying anything, he can do nothing well which a man ought to do. It would take the space of a volume to describe him.
A comparison of educated men with others in this country, should not leave out the fact that the great business of the country is passing into educated hands. The railroads conspicuously show this. It is equally true that publishing and the vast periodical business of the country has enlarged the field in which education is of special value.
If we were called upon to consider much the faults or virtues of the colleges, we might blame them with some emphasis for the failures whom they graduate. The preeminent merit of the American college is that it can modify and strengthen character; reducing its defects and enlarging its power. If the college has eyes to see, it ought to discover the hopelessly defective persons in its classes, and retire them long before graduation. The failures may lead less unhappy lives; the colleges will not suffer the reproach of having unfitted them for living to some small purpose. And yet there is not a large amount of proof that a dangerously large number of failures are graduated, though it is a place for caution.—Christian at Work.

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

ATCHISON BUSINESS COLLEGE.
With a Grand Re-union and Reception in the College Halls, Friday evening, January 8th.
Enterprising Young Men and Women who wish to secure all the advantages 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.
These Colleges have a larger attendance than all the other Commercial Schools in the State of Kansas combined, and the reputation of these institutions and their success in the past 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. We herewith give a brief outline of the course of study as taught in these schools:
Book-Keeping, by single and double entry, in all its practical and scientific details, and the use of Day Book, Journal, Cash Book, two and six column Journal, General and Depositor's Ledger, Bill Book, Collection and Discount Register, Depositor's Journal, Commission Sales Books; and, in short, all the various books used in business.
Actual Business Department, or the department of experience, in which students get actual practice in Retailing, Wholesaling, Banking, Telegraphing, Transporting, Letter Writing, Managing Real Estate Offices Commission Houses, etc.
**Actual Experience in making Commercial Transactions, Drawing Business Papers and Forms of every description, including Promissory Notes, Checks, Drafts, Orders, Bills of Exchange, Contracts, Bills of Sale, Insurance Policies, Deeds, Mortgages, Leases, etc., the student is qualified to successfully perform the many and important duties of actual business life.**
Business Penmanship, by which is meant a plain, legible business hand; one that can be written rapidly, devoid of flourishes or ornaments, and read at a glance.
All subjects discussed in Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Letter Writing, and many others, are put in actual use in this, the most practical department in the College. After receiving this amount of
Actual Practice in keeping Counting House Books of all classes, and
Commercial Law embraces the chief principles of law in the United States governing the every day transactions of business life, including Contracts, Agency, Partnership, Negotiable Paper, Life, Fire and Marine Insurance, Transportation of Goods by land or water, Drawing of all kinds of Commercial and Legal Papers, etc., etc.
Actual Business Department brings into practice Letter Writing, as a large proportion of the business is done by correspondence, the same as though the parties actually lived in different cities.
Business Correspondence, or Letter Writing is a very essential part of a commercial education, and is made a prominent study. The
All who contemplate entering this winter are requested to be present, as far as possible, the opening week, for the formation of classes and the enjoyment of the Re-union and Reception exercises.

CUPIDS DARTS
OUR WIRE WORKS WELL—CUMT FREELY MAKES DISCLOSURES—MOR AND MORE WHO ARE VICTIMS—SOM NEARER "GONE" THAN OTHERS- MAMMAS WHO WILL LOSE BELOW DARLINGS.
One of our first messages this week tells of what now seems to promise successful archery in the affairs of a prominent young miller and the charming young daughter of a recent investor in the milling business. All now seems well. Former barriers are now beaten away and the target now faces but one archer and he is becoming more and more skilled. He has his distances well, has studied past failures in his archery, mended defects, grown more and more intent upon gaining his object, with determined aggressiveness is exhausting every quiver and at last victory seems to be about to crown his efforts.
The prosperous young lumber merchant of south Massachusetts street at last thinks he sees the Star of his destiny on the second. So long has he listened to its sweet music, growing brighter and brighter year by year, that his joy is now about complete, with the future promising light only.
Unable through orthography or grammatical construction to decipher the following gory sounding dispatch we give it in full thinking perhaps some of our readers may secure the cue and give the public the benefit of it. It seems quite portentious and should anybody secure the cue, please hand it at once to the young city editor of the Journal, that he may through the columns of his valuable journal relieve the good people of this city of their anxiety. It is evidently a case for "The Terror of the West."
THRON OF HIS ROYAL MAJESTY CUID,
December 21, 1885
Special to the Courrier:
Your city is promised a great surprise. It has been developing slowly coming rapidly to the elimax within the past month. A deem has been gored in your city, the last stroke given last night. An effort is being made to keep all quiet. Developments may be expected at any time."
Through his "magical touch" one prominent young, instrumental music teacher has at last secured the right impression upon one of his most popular young pupils, and though it may be long, ere the bells will ring, we have evidence that ropes of such texture, as to be 'e'en by diamond edge inseparable, are tied thereto and held by the pupil, requiring only the pull, to do the deed.
Darts pass weekly from Lawrence to Adrian, Mich., in the interests of the ever happy young gentleman who presiding over the genteel appearance of the young men of our city does so much for the success of His Majesty Cupid, in our midst. Looking after the welfare of others he now finds a little time for self and if at any time he is missed from the famous "103," for any length of time, don't be surprised, if something happens.
The charming young songstress continuing her studies in the East seems to be the target of two gallant archers. Distance considered we understand the contest wages warmly. The young jeweler opposite the Journal office seems holding his own. A message of peculiar tenor comes in the first of the week for the benevolent of our city's popular, young cool dealer of the Pacific express corner. Notwithstanding his version thereof the recent trip westward we fear had peculiar significance. Do not be surprised if another is taken soon.
The pleasant young job printer under the Douglas County bank, who has furnished so many happy, happy "announcements" for friends will
soon give the office a job for self—the far land having been reached. The young railroad man from Omaha will soon claim "for better or worse," the young lady of the large brick house opposite the Central school—northward.
One of the prominently connected young men with the "little bogus Courier," it is reported tri-weekly (and offender) worships at the shrine of the only daughter of one of our prominent jewelers. A message this week however saves the goal recedes.
On the road to happiness with prospects brightening is the young boot and shoe clerk who is assisting his propeller to close out his stock to quit business. Charmed by the young Moss of K. S. U., the gentle spirit reciprocated, all promises well.
The young man of fancy horses and who knows how to handle them well, at last finds it requires something more to satisfy the want in his many bosom. He has evidently found the Moore.
The young bank teller, of Pratt Center and the accomplished young Miss of Lee—Massachusetts street seem to bear the world's ills contentedly in each others understanding.
The accommodating young mail carrier of the west side of Massachusetts street and the "young lady of his heart" since their enjoyable evening buggy ride of sometime since seem to have bright view of the future. We'll man that ride be forgotten-lost in the brightness of the future time, distance, all, received no recognition—with what result (?) Later—A message says this may be to old.
The son of our hardware merchant thinks if not *Warn-ed*, things are *Good good* for him.
The young man of "smiling countenance" in spite of business requiring the caring entirely for the after shadows of life, seems for himself to be looking entirely to bright years to come. He will soon return from the Buckeye State with the partner of his joys.
Whispers are prevalent of a young type and man of letters being severely snithed on first sight with one of Toneka's fairest daughters.
The every body-likes-him-young man of one of our stationery stores, and the queen of North Lawrence seem to be arriving at a better and better understanding.
The son of one of our prominent physicians and the ever accommodating and generous young lady of Central telephone office seem to be under a like kindly influence.
The young auditor of the southern Kansas seems to be devoting considerable attention to one of tha fairest of the fair on Vermont street
A very prominent city belle smiles sweetly on Lawrence boys until the young gentleman of K. C. arrives, when Lawrence is forgotten.
This week we print merely what is given by "our wire." Nobody is "responsible" for the "Darts." Spleen must be buried in the joy of a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.
Noble—A very pleasant evening was spent by the friends of Miss Alice noble at her beautiful home in west Lawrence. Music, cards and dancing furnished the entertainment until an elegant lunch was served at which time every thing else was cast inside, and the table relieved of its refreshing burden. The following persons were present: Misses Maude Mansfield, Bella Love, Alice Noble, Messrs. L. N. Lewis, Ben. Akers and R. C. Raukun.
ROPEs.—The pleasant home of Miss Ella Ropes, in West Lawrence, was filled Friday evening with friends who had gathered in response to invitations asking their presence in honor of Miss Annie Adams, of Topica, Card-playing, dancing, music and conversation filled the evening's program. Every one present had a delightful time, and all are earnest in praises of the hostess and her entertaining powers. The following were present: Misses Luciola Moore, Kate Wilder, Eva Howe, Fennec Pratt, Hattie Haskell, May Webster, Angie Logee; Annie Adams, of Topeca, and Tella Chapman; Murasu, J. E. Griffith, H. E. Riggs, F. T. Oskley, A. L. Adams, Will Spencer, Walter Howe, Charles Linley and Tomlin.
SNANE—Gee. Shane on last Thursday evening entertained a number of his friends very pleasantly at his new art rooms on Massachusetts street.

SURPRISE PARTY. — On Saturday night a number of Mr. and Mrs. Spencer's friends got up a surprise party in honor of Mr. Spencer's fifteenth birthday. The party dropped on in them about 7:30, well armed with lunch baskets. The evening was spent in card-playing and social conversation. Mr. Dunn, in behalf of the gentlemen, presented Mr. Spencer with an elegant arm chair. Mr. Spencer replied, thanking them for their kind rememberances and fully appreciating their good wishes. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Warne, Mr. and Mrs. Tisdale, Mr. and Mrs. Toothacker, Mr. and Mrs. Noble, Mr. and Mrs. Alex.

PHI GAMMA DELTA — The Phi Gamma Delta gave a delightful "hop" in honor of the fourth anniversary of their chapter in their hall, December 17. An elegant supper was served about half past eleven. Dancing was resumed on their return from supper, till the "we sma' hours." Those present were Misses Mamie Tisdale, Bangs, Belle Roberts, Alice Penfield, Liay Lyons, Kate Darrow, Carrie Marks, MayWebster, Kate Wilder, Luelia Moore, Maude Mansfield, Clara Caffa, Cora Henshaw.

Ackley, and H. L. Hollister, of Kingman.

It is sometimes bewildering to simply gaze on the array of beautiful things spread out at this time of the year for our delectation. It gives one a feeling of genuine pleasure merely to wander through some of the stores on Massachusetts street; but be sure to call at the store of J. S. Crew & Co., and see the handsome stock of articles suitable for Christmas presents. Call early to make a good selection.
FIFTY ladies were in attendance at the L.C. Sorosis convention. A business meeting was held Thursday foronoon, followed by a Thanksgiving dinner. The delegates accepted an invitation from the Usher Guards to attend their ball in the evening. Friday morning the grand officers for the easing year were elected. The convention adjourned on Saturday to meet in Hacienda December, 1889. The members were then given an informal reception by the Betas and Phi Pis. The delegates report as a whole an elegant entertainment.-Simpsonian, Indiananota, Iowa.
ART LEAGUE.—The Lawrence Art League met in regular session Monday evening last, and pursued the study of Ruskin's Modern Painters. The discussion became metaphysical at times, as Ruskin splits hairs in defining terms. The handling of such subjects is valuable to students of art — it tends to show them that they don't know any too much, and makes them think "powerful." Two new members were taken into close communion, Miss Mary Glenson and Miss —— ——, (name we failed to get). The treasury received a substantial addition as the result of the last exhibition. Between four and five hundred people visited the exhibition in the four days it remained open. We note that in New Orleans, this year, some of the finest pictures on exhibition are marked "to rent." Think of it. High art sunk to the level of a puppet show. All a rich town has to do now o' days to make itself an art center, is to rent a lot of fair pictures and make itself an enviable? reputation. Lawrence, sleepy Lawrence, as she is sometimes called, can muster up an exhibition of original works at any time, of lesser merit it is true, but how much more praiseworthy when compared with "to rent" lot of pictures made especially to travel. Mark it down — Lawrence don't pretend to what it don't have.

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

All communications for this Department should be sent to Misses Cara Greenamyer, Maude Manfield or J. Sullivan.
WHERE THEY HAVE STUCK IN OUR
CITY—COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR
SHADOWS BEFORE — WEDDING
CHIMES.
News of marriages and engage meents in Lawrence continue with unabated virulence. The epidemic is appalling to the invisible, and has been raging with unusual severity this season. Financial condition religion or health, receive no consideration. Anxious mammas begin to discuss the advisability of sending their susceptible sons and daughters to a school where the social atmosphere is not so seriously infected.
In various ways we have secured evidence of targets of Cupld's darts which received the shields when unmapped and unprotected, they reaching the vital spit upon whose penetration all mankind yield.
Now in communication with His Majesty we will expect henceforth to be informed of his successes in his archery and will from time to time, give our readers the benefit of his work in our city.
The "most exquisite young man of the city," of the Southern Kansas offices, has evidently allowed his heart to be carried away by the piquant young belle of past K. S. U. days, now of Fort Scott.
His Chum, watches with great an xieyt every mail, for a letter from the East where She is pursuing her vocal music studies.
The young gentleman, now of Princeton's classic hall, during his vacation home this summer evidently received lasting impressions of a dark young lady near Indiana and Henry
The pleasant young coal contractor of the U.P. road and the young lady of the "Stone Road" of south Tennessee street seem to "bear an understanding."
To the public yet enshoured in mist, is the "coming day" of a prominent young railroad employee and one of Lawrence's most favorite fair ones—the daughter of a minister.
Holiday wck a prominent young railroad man now of Topka, mother sister and home yet of our city, will take unto himself as life's partner,ev' to cherish, a young lady, who dangering her short residence in Lawrence as instructress in the family of a then minister, was noted for a sweetness in personal appearance and temperament.
Nearer perhaps, but no surier, is the coming knot, which will "make one," a prominent young farmer of Grant township and a popular young alumnae of K.S. U.,—class of '84.
Dame Rumor, connects the fortunes of a prominent young Miss M. of the present Senior class of K. S. U., with a young railroad maginate of Washington Territory. Again our informant whispers, a young capitalist of Wichita, whose letters, per information from the Postal Service "weighs a pound," is the favored man.
A nystie spirit pervades our sanctum, combining the names of a prominent belle, whose beautiful home overlooks the ice Jaw and "A cousin" who visited our city recently. Whispering on, the spirit says a dark young man from the North will come during Christmas days for his answer, which probably will be—no. Again, that the many "Would-be"s of our city will be smiled upon and in happy assistance for years yet.
A prominent young druggist and the charming young daughter of one of our respected physicists have spoken the words which create "Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one."
The young proprietor of a south Massachusetts street business house and the favorite of the lady clerks in McNutire's will soon stand before the altar and answer to the sacred ceremony.
Another clerk of Mr. McIntire's of the sterner sex promises to soon take unto his heart, a life's companion, in a graduate of the Business College of two years ago, and a favorite in the corps of city teachers last year.
A young mail agent, of the Santa Fe, has evidently been made happy, by the thrilling —Yes—from the lips of the piece of our prominent "Round
Corner" druggist. The young gentleman's mother will also soon lose a daughter, whose heart is also a "Mall boy."
Two of the most popular of our city mail system carrier boys promise an item in the near future. One, the every happy boy says his "sweety," has been all the truner since their separation through her visit to Colorado Springs last summer. The other says, notwithstanding many trying disappointments, on the setting of the happy day he now has his "birdie," the daughter of a prominent real-estate agent, so caged in promises that she cannot much longer hold off the day.
The son of one of our prominent book merchants has recently made up with his "first and only" after a long era of coldness, and through his influence, Cupid is now undoubtedly using his best and truest darts.
Our last message tells of happy ideas existing between one of the most charming young members of the Military company and book keeper in one of the south Massachusetts street dry goods houses and a young lady until recently a clerk in the same establishment and now of Kansas City. We await the date in anxiety.
USHER GUARDS. — Company II gave another of their very pleasant dances on Monday night, having been postponed from Thursday night. Quite a large crowd was in attendance and as usual spent a very delightful evening. Company H. should receive the thanks of all lovers of the terpsichorean art, for without their dances this season, that line of amusement would have passed from society circles. The hall was pleasantly arranged and the music up to the standard. Among those present the following names were obtained; Misses Belle Roberts, Alice Noble, Emma Lewis, Manie Tisidale, Carrie Steinberg, Ruth Woodard, Fannie Levy, May Porter, Lily McConnell, Nellie Headley, Eva Holdley, Mattice Bristol, Clara Greenamyer; Mesdames Moody, McCarty, Tracy; Messrs S. M Strauss, Dan Crew, Abe Levy, J. Baine, Geo Noble, L. Lewis, Lee Lettler, Will Roberts, Chas. Stone, Ben. Akers, Charles Meyers, Geo Tracy, Geo Deming, Henry Moody, Will Grovenor, Geo. Leonard, George Anderson, Herb. Bulleine, Nettle Littell, Fred. Morris, Wm. Penfield.
DANCING CLUB—The little folks dancing club met at the residence of Mr. Van Hoesen on Friday last. The young folks entered into the dancing with all the vivacity of youth. They were light and gay fairly swimming over with jabrill spiritis. The evening passed away only too quickly and the little folks were forced to go, much against their inclinations. Misses Rilla and Lucy proved theirselves charming little hostesses. Guests present: Misses Bella Sinha, Stella Hynes, Carrie McEwen, Don Burrie and Genie Bowersock, Mamie Spencer, Genevieve Howland, Messrs. Albert Flintom, Freed, and Jus. Bowersock, Hal Noble, Paul Leonard and Billie Spencer.
SCHUBBERT CLUER:—The Schubber club met at Col. Nobles residence or Thursday last. The afternoon was spent in a most enjoyable manner. The program for the next meeting was made out, the chief study will be the life of Haydn. They expect the meeting to be an exceedingly intereting one. Members of the club present: Moshamnes Beatty, Parke, Bierer, Grant, Bates, Davis; Misses Alice Noble, Birdie Starr, Mable Gore.
The pupils of Miss May Anderson, the talented young elocutionist, will give a recital on Saturday evening at the Press club rooms. Miss Anderson is meeting with wonderful success as a teacher of elocution. Topeka Capital,
JOLLY COASTERS.—The hill on Quincy street has been for the past few days a perfect living, moving confusion of sleights of every description and "bob sleds" innumerable. But no more hilarious party ever took advantage of the "path of snow," than a party of students of K. S. U. on last Thursday night. Many lightning trips were made and many eager to ride down, were just as eager to ride up—instead of helping to escort the heavy sled. About

A pleasing example of the independence and strength of American womanhood was recently witnessed by a COURIER representative on the evening train from Kansas City to Wacopeo. Soon after pulling out of Kansas City "Peanut" came into the car with Kansas City evening papers, one of which the lady in question took, handling the sharp young man a nickel. Her eye at once catching the price, two cents, on the paper, indignant at the young man's action, she called him back saying "Young man the price of this paper is two cents." To this the imperious fellow only turned on his hee and left the car. Shortly returning with "peanuts only five a glass," he approached the lady's seat peculiar look was noticed to com into her eyes, as she nodded assen to a glass of peanuts. Opening he purse with "Now young man we've even." She handed him two pennies Her neighbors who had witnessed applauded. "Peanut" looked him and only summoned courage enough to say "Madame you're ahead anhere's another glass in the bargain The heroine is a Lawrence lady.

PRESBYTERIAN SOCIAL:—The Presbyterian apron social, held at the elegant residence of Mr. Henley on Louisiana street, Tuesday evening was in every sense a success. It was not one of those regular conventional “church affairs,” where the people range themselves in lines along the wall, and eye each other with auspicion, longing for the time to come, when they can go home with out violating proprieties, but one of those real good old times where a perfect elysium of cheerfulness and merry laughter filled the hours. A good lunch for the hungry was served about 11, and the major part of the assemblage did good justice there to. Most of the aprons were solid, armed at a very fair price. The surplus of apron, and tea will be held as a nucleus, around which will cluster arrangements· for another just such a “fine time,” when all who love a pleasant evening will be heartily welcomed. Those present: Dr. and Mrs. Osmond, and Mrs. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Boles, May Russell, Mesdames Hill, Lane and DeLong, Mr. Johnson, Mr. McKee, Bella Love, Alice Noble, Prof. and Mrs. Baily, Mr. and Mrs. Love, Mrs. Benedict, Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

The company started out about eight o'clock in a big farm sleigh with四o'clock in hand, and jingling cowbells, and after an enjoyable ride around the city, they adjourned to the Phi Pall hall, where the remainder of the evening was spent very pleasantly dancing, card playing, etc. The following persons were in the company: Misses Hattie Titus, Nellie Furness, Josie Cooke, Hattie Dunn, Lizzie Pettee, Harry Cooke, Mossrs.

HEAR, YE. PROFESSORS

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

--beauty of conception and finish of language. Of course anything like libelary of religious opinion leads to utter condemnation, while fidelity to dogma wins the laurels. So intemperate is the discrimination that the wide difference of a clerical judge in favor of his candidate will greatly overbalance the small excess given by the two other judges to an opponent. One of our students, who perhaps has carried off the greatest number of honors, accomplished it solely through his pandersmits to religious topics and the success with which preachers, purposely or accidentally we care not which, were secured as judges. We need not go many millenniums back in our society contests to witness the same thing.

All of our editors and managers are at home eating their Christmas turkey, or attending to their interests otherwise, consequently this issue is gotten up by new hands—professors and other people. We await congratulations.
A Protest Against Preachers
It has been quite a number of years since the students declared, by common consent, that professors were unit for judges of University contests. Attempts have been made by class-room toadies, at various times, to foist professors upon the contestants, but in every instance the effort has been resented and repelled. It was not a question of honesty. In a nut shell, the prejudices formed by a professor from his continual contact with his scholars, units him as an unbiased judge on a college contest. The next innovation should be in debarring preachers. Compared with the prejudice of preachers, the bias of professors as judges of contests is as a street puddle to the ocean. Right here we want to say we are not reflecting on the ministerial calling. It has come to that pitch when one is decreed as an opponent of religion if he suggests that his pastor does not wash his feet as often as the laws of health and a due regard for his neighbor's nostrils require. So we rise to explain.
The vocation of a preacher undoes him as a fair arbitrarist of literary excellence, or originality of thought. He will score a composition on the "Ineffability of the Divine" twenty per cent. higher than a practical treatise on the "Manufacture of Lucier Matches," and "Caivin," or "Luther," though clothed in literary sackcloth, will take the prize from "Jefferson" or "DeLesseps," though attired by the author in the highest
The bane of clerical judgers may be seen at Baker University where, through mountains of metaphors, oceans of apostrophes, and worlds of religious sentiment, we have yet to meet a contest production with a grain of practical sense.
At best, decisions in contests are apt to depend on whims and prejudices of those who render them. Believing judges a perennis part of student contests, we would gladly shovel off the candy caboodle of them. As long as they are retained, however, it would be the wise thing for the practical students of our most practical University to adopt the practical rule of encouraging practical contests by forever debarking, as judges, those impractical prebendaries, the preachers.
Saints and Sinners
What a boorish force this matter of criticism on college performances has got to be. It was my misfortune to be unable to attend the Orcad-Orophilian contest. Being deeply interested in several of the contestants, I searched the college and daily newspapers for a reviewof the entertainment. All I gleaned from the articles was that this one and that one and the other one all did splendidly, magnificently, superbly, from which, reading between lines, I half infer that the thing was a failure. I afterwards learned one of the reviews was in mype before the contest came off. They might as well all have been. Such hog wash!
. .
If there is nobody in Lawrence capable of writing an honest criticism, or if the Bohemians are afraid to write and publish their honest views, why then, save time, ink, paper, and the reader's patience, by saying nothing about it at all?
How many societies there are in the University ever year that die "a burning." How many more pine along on the bottle, as it were, for six or eight months, and then their nurses finding their labors unappreciated, let the mistogenu infants slip into an unnoticed grave. The fool-killer ought ever to hang around Oread's halls to strangle new societies. Then the old ones might receive adequate support.
Something over a year ago Prof. Carruth was lamenting the fact that our opera house management brought no lecturers here, nor actors of the first rank. He thought such talent would crowd the house and pay handsome returns. I know better. There is no encouragement for stars to come here. Coulock was perhaps the finest actor who ever set foot on the Lawrence boards, yet neither Prof. Carruth nor any other professor went
Just for curiosity I would like to know whether there is a member in the Senior class who entered Junior Prep seven years ago, and has slowly and steadily worked his way to the top?

to hear him, though his prices were just half his usual charges. I am sorry to say that had it been comic opera, with a liberal display of physical charms, a paucity of dress and considerable exhibition of chic, our faculty would have contributed to the success of the evening—at least I have never seen them absent from Fay Templeton, Emma Abbott, and entertainments of that school. It is considerable of a question, just now, which is on the decline, the stage or the people. Certain it is, that the drama is just what its patrons make it. SMITH,
A Senior was heard to remark recently that co-education was not a success. He said in proof of this theory the girls are all spoiled, his girl in particular. Poor fellow! we sympatize with him; we know how lovingly he looks in at Grossoup's windows as they pass by; we know how sweetly innocent she looks as she remarks that "Abbott will be here a week from to-night;" we can hear his sigh of despair as she tells him that the evening is so wet that walking is impossible. Our heart goes out to him in his misery, when as they walk down street she says confidently: "Arthur, I haven't been sleigh riding this year." We incline to the opinion of our friend, that a girl is an exquisite luxury. A prep girl is an awfully sweet, innocent little girl that is thankful if her verdant admirer calls to take her to church or lecture; but when you get to a Senior girl, my, its awful! Her demands are limitless. She needs all the money that can be raised; she needs fifteen hours a day of valuable time; she does not care for free shows, and if a luckiness youth should ask her to go to a contest, his fate is sealed forever. We had a girl once. She is married now, and we know better than to tackle another; but we will give coming generations the benefit of our wisdom, and will say: Never get a solid girl. No one can afford it unless he gets part of Vanderbilt's fortune.

Perlee R. Bennett has passed through many trials and tribulations at Ann Arbor, but like the ghost of Banquo he will not down. The prosecuting attorney finding his efforts for conviction were fruitless, entered a nole pross. The students with true grt—such as is not found in K, S-U—have brought suit against the prosecuting attorney for false imprisonment, and against the policeman who arrested him for assault and battery. The sympathy is largely with the students and it is thought that they will be victorious.
STUDENTS VIEWS.
College Politics.
Some people are always hunting around for something to find fault with, and to use their invincible logic in tearing it to pieces. Such a person is "Observer," who in the last issue of the Correra thought he would demolish the piece headed "College Politics," in the issue of week before last.
"Observer" is either one of the would-be political bosses of this institution, or else some one that wanted to say something and did not know just what to say or how to say it. I am inclined to believe he is the former, for if he was not I think he would have kept still on this subject. When the truth is told about such fellows they howl exaggeration, fantasies, etc.
"Observer" says that "E" is so narrow minded that he cannot accurately measure the evils that come across his path in this "vale of tears." Whether the evils that come across my path are accurately measured, I will not say; but will simply inform "Observer" that the rule I use to measure them is justice. It seems "sad to state the above named deficiency" renders my weak points obsure to myself. I wish to remind "Observer" that I am not immortal, neither am I a logician, and that I am liable to be weak. But at the same time I am not so weak as "Observer" would lead others to believe.
"O, fatal mistake!" says "Observer." "Why couldn't he see that he had really suggested no reunalty at all until he had told us how college politics were to be purified?" "Observer" must not have read my piece very carefully, or he would have seen that I said "inaugurate a new system of college politics," and surely he knew that I did not mean on the same basis or on any other basis but right and justice. "None are so blind as those who can see and will not."
"Observer" says "a fair, imperial investigation of this matter will satisfy any one that our college politics are not all they ought to be." That is just what I said, only in a little more emphatic language than "Observer" used, and if that milder form of expression suits him, that is all I ask.
I am a Fresh, and was at all the meetings of that class, and nothing but friendly feelings have characterized my conduct from beginning to end. I signed the petition asking that a certain Soph be not fired, not because I thought his actions were right, by any means, but because there were other boys as deep in the mud as he was in the mire, and he was the only one to be punished.
The next time "Observer" starts out to take observations, if he would examine things a little more closely before making his observations known to the public, he would do better.

DEAR MACLAREN, KAS., DEC. 20.
Dear McLaren: I don't want you to give me away in the vacation COURER. If my Lawrence girl were to know how I am flying high with my Atchison girl, it would make her feel bad, and I would have to take her to another free show to case her mind. I know I have been mean and written views with other people's names signed to them, but please do not hold it against me. It is natural cussedness, and I can't help it. As I cannot be in Lawrence to put my name in the Courier as a bright and shining example of a student ought to be (as I usually put that in), but am compelled to lay around the Atchison billiard halls. I hope you will take pity on my ornery condition. My watch is in soak and I

I would like a little space in the vacation issue of your valuable peri to give my opinion in regard to the uncalled for demands of some of the professors. Sometimes when I have gone to class without my lessons they have stopped me after class and suggested that if convenient to me they wished I would spend at least ten minutes a day on each of my studies. I have not time to do this, and it is nobody's business but my own. If I can not amuse myself in K. S. U. by dancing, playing biliards, throwing dice and drinking "peach," I will go to Baldwin, where students are treated as men and not as children. H. F. GLAMAN.
Happy New Year! What does it mean for the students and for the professors? It means that we ere long the students will change their studiest; that they will begin a new set of amusements. For the professor it means a repetition of the same weary routine of work which he has gone over year after year. It means that the New Year's bells have rung out the old set of students, and rung in the new; yet all are alike in one respect; they are students with all a student's failings. Many of us underestimate the trials of our teachers. We forget that they have to put up with all the impudence which the smart student sees fit to give; that they must be patient with the dull; that they must encourage the backsliders. No matter what cares oppress them or what sorrows cast them down, they ever are at the point of duty. Poorly paid, overworked, patient men, who are trying to help us to grow up into good and honest men and women, these are the men who should fill a warm place in our hearts. So let us resolve, in this season of good resolutions, to try and lighten the burden of our teachers by doing better work and by being more thoughtful for them in the year which is just beginning.
F. A.M.
Prof. Wilcox has in contemplation a scheme which commends itself to every student in the Greek department. The plan is to remove all books in the Greek department from the library, and together with a part of his own library, to fit up a study to be used exclusively by the students of Greek. Prof. Wilcox deserves the hearty thanks of every Greek for thus going out of his way for our convenience. If this plan is put into execution, we ought to avail ourselves to the utmost extent of the advantage offered, and not by coil neglect dampen the professor's warm hearted devotion to his work.
The attendance on chapel services this year has been very small. Ever at second door it has been far below the average of previous years. Some thing should be done to increase it if necessary, require daily attendance.
We know that some of the Seniors are kicking on the matter of back grades. They claim that it is unfair to require '86 to get up back work by February, while previous classes had till June to prepare. When the matter is duly considered, the benefits will be seen when we consider the time saved to the Senior and the better position he is in to do full justice to his college work. By all means let us have back work done up before the Senior year.

Will somebody please take it in.
The refusal of the judges to give their detailed markings has given rise to a mistake in regard to the comparative grades of the societies in the contest. It seems by the method adopted by the judges the various grades of the Oread contestants footstep to 3600 and that of the Orophilian 3613. Thus the announcement that Orophilian had won by twelve points must not be construed to mean that the Orophilians were three per cent ahead.
The pleasant home of Miss Ella Reyes, in West Lawrence, was filled Friday evening with friends who had gathered in response to invitations asking their presence in honor of Miss Annie Adams of Topka. Card-playing, dancing, music and conversation filmed the evening's program. Every one present had a delightful time, and all are earnest in praises of the hostess and her entertaining powers.
The following were missed: Misses Luella Moore, Kate Wilder, Eva Howe, Fanie Pratt, Hattle Haskell, May Webster, Angie Logee, Annie Adams, of Topka, and Tella Chapman; Messrs J. E. Griffith, H. E. Riggs, F. T. Oakley, A. L. Adams, Will Spencer, Walter Howe, Charles Linley, Tomilin, and E. A. Adams.
Miss Mary Anderson will make her 1st appearance as a writer in the annual number of Lippincott's Magazine, where she will publish a bright and gossipy paper embodying the experiences of her recent English trip, and giving her impressions of London universities and London society. Another notable article in the same number will consist of a number of criticisms by George Eliot upon Dickens, Kingsley, Browning, Matthew Arnold and others of her famous contemporaries. As these criticisms have never before been identified, they will be looked forward to with great interest by all lovers of George Eliot.

A FOREVER LOVING
LIPPINGOTT'S MAGAZINE
2. Popular Monthly of General Literature.
With the basin for January, 1888, important changes will be made in the literary character and typographical appeal of Lippincott's books, which will ensure that maintaining the former standard of excellence, with it, is expected, materially increase its popularity and widen its scope of usefulness. The distinctive features of Lippincott's for the coming year will be an extension of his previous works itself in all the current topics of the day, literary, artistic, political and social, and enlisting in their discussion the oldest pen in England and America. A fair hearing will be accorded to all sides of a controversy, through the magazine, will strictly proceed.
It will be especially strong in Fetton. A new novel, entitled "Hope," by E. Nori, author of "Matrimony," "No New Ting; Ting," or perhaps the cleverness of the protagonist accompanied by a brilliant serial, dealing with the literary and dramatic life of New York City. From the pen of a writer who prefers to keep his name a secret, but whose every touch is accompanied by the acquaintance with the hero he describes.
It will be the cheapest first-class magazine issued in America. Recognizing the needs of the time for good literature at moderate prices, the publishers have decided to lower the annual price, with giving them with a to a sum which will place Lippert's Magazine within the reach of all.
By special arrangement it will be the authorized medium through which the chosen stories, essays and sketches by transatlantic authors will reach the American public simultaneously with their appearance abroad. Under title arrangement contributions are encouraged to the editor, Edwin Arnold, "Onda," F. Ansey, Wm. Buck, Austin Doelson, Andrew L. Egges, Swimwear, etc., etc.

The journey through Europe upon which Prof. Carruth will enter about the first of March, will not only be of inestimable value to the professor, but especially to his future students, who will reap a rich harvest from the uniting efforts and careful observation, with which our Schiller will examine every phase of German life. If the professor is now one of the finest scholars and instructors in the West, his zeal and perseverance must eventually place him among the leading literary men of the nation.
--for, if these college days are but the preface to the great work of life, nothing is more important than, that the preface should be so constituted as to thoroughly prepare the toiler for his earthly task. These holidays are the portals in the temple of school-day joys, through which we glean but a passing glance of the tireless toilers without. Then, as we mingle in the scenes of merriment with the world's busy workers, we should learn many valuable lessons which in after life may enable us to join in the future holiday enjoyments, acting a part made nobler and grander by the prudence and sagacity gathered from the classic lore of the class-room, the legends of past experience, and the many valuable lessons which even the carols of Christmas may impress upon the ever vigilant and observing student.
The ignorance of the average student of every day history is desparate. It may be true that events are not a part of history, until they have been stripped of all their speculations and theoretical adjuncts, but, nevertheless, there is a freshness in present and passing acts that vanishes as these events retire into the fixed crystallization of history. Our students are so worked that they are compelled to neglect general reading. We would suggest to our Professor of History, that, at least, one day out of every two weeks could be spent in the discussion of current events. In this manner our students might be able to compare the present, the better with the past.
THE members of our faculty, in spite of their usual wisdom and sagacity, seem quite hostile to that spirit of intellectual combat, which is making the contest a prominent feature of our college work. From an impartial stand point, we believe that the golden mean lies between the spirit of the faculty and the tendency of the students. Our contests, if rightly regulated and controlled are the great conflicts in which acquired knowledge must be mustered in its greatest array. The systematic arrangement of argument or even facts calls into action a self-reliance and independent thought, which can be derived from no other field of college work. Contests should not become too numerous, but a limited number, properly controlled, are certainly of lasting benefit to the contestants as well as those who are treated to the products of their labor and industry.
We would like to see more students write for the college papers than at present. While quite a number do contribute, a large majority of the students take too little interest in and too small a share in getting up the college papers. There is really no reason for this, except laziness or negligence. Every student has spare time, and in no way can it be filled more profitably than by working on the college papers. It is not necessary to have an editorship, if one is willing to work, for copy is always gratefully accepted, no matter who from. On college journals work is done, not for pay or honor, but for the experience and practical benefit to be gained thereby. Therefore, this privilege is thrown open to all students who wish to write, and they should take advantage of it.
We are greatly pleased to see so many teachers at the Association claim K, S. U. as their Alma Mater. Indeed University students fill a large majority of the most important teacher's positions in the State.

SECTION 6 of Article III, was through oversight, omitted last week in our publication OF THE COURIER. It reads: "The journal staff shall meet on the day of election and choose one of the business managers as managing editor."
WHILE cultivating extemporaneous speaking, students should not imagine that extemporaneous speech is necessarily unprepared speech. It is far better training to speak from a well-thought outline than to talk on a subject without knowing anything about it. The real benefit of extemporaneous speech is not the ability to speak on a topic without information, but to express one's self well without previous written preparation. Before making an extemporaneous speech one should thoroughly inform himself on his subject, without writing, but simply thinking out his speech. After speaking from an outline a few times, one gains the necessary confidence in himself and general information to speak without preparation, when compelled to do so. Students have not ordinarily sufficient knowledge to speak entirely impromptu, and when they can get as good training without doing it, we think it certainly a poor plan to attempt it.
THE meeting of the "Association of the Colleges of Ohio" is being held in Cleveland this week. The subjects under discussion are the ethical element in education the study of Plantus and Terrence, the relative importance of lecture teaching and laboratory work in physics in the college course, methods in teaching Latin, the function of the laboratory in biology and geology, the proper order of teaching the different subjects of natural science, college electives and the relations between the Ohio high schools and the colleges of the association. The organization comprises sixteen of the best colleges in Ohio, and meets annually for the discussion of topics concerning college work and higher education. It has an excellent influence in elevating the standard of the educational institutions of the State and in bringing the better schools into closer communication. Would not such an organization in Kansas be of great benefit, better, perhaps, for our colleges than the State Teachers' Association, which is the only association at all similar in

THE markings of the judges in the Oread-Orophilian contest are a mystery. How the total markings of three judges upon the productions of four individuals could sum up to 3,613 is beyond comprehension. For instance, had the markings been on thought, composition and delivery plan (although we fail to see how thought could be taken into consideration in a declaration), it could give the possibility of each performer receiving from each judge a grade of 300. Three hundred from three judges give a total of 300 to each performer, or a possible grand total of 3,600. But even this would require absolute perfection in the opinion of each judge on the part of each performer, which is in itself out of the question. But why go farther? The greater question arises, where is the name of all that is reasonable did Orophilian get her other thirteen? We give it up! We hope some plan will soon be arrange which we can all understand. The judges evidently gave Orophilian the victory on the total count somehow or other, yet they said two o me decided in favor of Oread However, let us count this an Oro philian victory, and arrange a bet ter scheme next time.
It is a common comment among prominent men of the State that Lawrence seems to think that it owns the University, and perhaps with a good deal of reason. Lawrence people and Lawrence papers are where the University is continually before them. It is discussed at the breakfast table and on the streets, and the interest of the incidents, their difficulties, successes, etc., become to a certain extent to be those of the citizens. It is not strange under the circumstances, that, when any thing is done, changes made, or other action taken, they should be the first to be heard from either in approbation or condemnation. And this is not so much because they think they own the University, but because their interest in the institution is greater and their knowledge of it better than those living in other parts of the State. But there is enough truth in the statement to merit the careful consideration of Lawrence people. At their interest is greater, and their knowledge of the facts better, they should refrain from doing anything that would prejudice the interests of the institution throughout the State. If the people of Lawrence are continually making attacks or the management of the institution and the city papers open their columns to every person who has a private grievance against some member of the faculty, the only and natural result will follow. The people of the State will come to the conclusion that the institution don' amount to anything, and instead of the generous support given by the legislature in previous years, they will be cut off and the old hue anery of the Lawrence high school will again be heard. We by means think that everything don' at the University should be sancioned, or if there is really some abuse, that it should not be criticised, but we do think that ever little action of members of the faculty should not be sought out and made the basis for a newspaper attack by some one who has a personal grievance against that member, and that the city papers should not lend their columns to such work.
--for, if these college days are but the preface to the great work of life, nothing is more important than, that the preface should be so constituted as to thoroughly prepare the toiler for his earthly task. These holidays are the portals in the temple of school-day joys, through which we glean but a passing glance of the tireless toilers without. Then, as we mingle in the scenes of merriment with the world's busy workers, we should learn many valuable lessons which in after life may enable us to join in the future holiday enjoyments, acting a part made nobler and grander by the prudence and sagacity gathered from the classic lore of the class-room, the legends of past experience, and the many valuable lessons which even the carols of Christmas may impress upon the ever vigilant and observing student.
THE annual return of that season of merriment and amusement, which constitute the common holiday season of the whole civilized world, brings with its jubilees and bells the fond remembrance of by-gone festal days, and calls for the cessation of those arduous labors which have calloused hands and wrinkled brows with care.
To the college student it means not only a needed rest from ceaseless toil, not only a trace in the great strife and struggle of student life, but also a meeting of affectionate friends in happy homes by pleasant firesides.
A week's recess amidst the joyous scenes of home, sweet home, with no lessons to learn, no task to trouble, and no care to know, may well be considered as the most gladsome period of college days.
If we have become much attached to our cherished school associations with their pleasant scenes and benign privileges, we long since learned to love the scenes of home with their tender ties and jewels of joy with a love that cannot dim.
In the midst of these holiday hilarities, the student regains his individuality that has, as it were, been lost in the great sea of surging, swaying student souls. He is again brought face to face with the business world, with its stern realities and unsolved problems. His mind is filled with awe as he is whirled away from his Alma Mater with the prodigious speed produced by the marvelous power of steam. In his alert soul he sees the masses of mankind engaged in the great conflict for daily bread, and, as in a dream, his mind wanders beyond the veil which screens from view future events, and ponders over the part which he is to play in this great drama of human life. It is a thought well worth the thinking;
VIEWS
The first idea which enters the mind of a new student, as he complements casting his lot with most any institution of learning, is that he will necessarily be looked upon with the eye of suspicion and distrust by all his fellow students, and that he will be an outcast from society and be treated as an inferior by all upper class men until he has made some desperate stride and ingratiated himself into society of these "college monsters" by passing a severe test showing his physical or mental ability. Such is the common idea of the young man about to embark on the uncertain sea of college life. No doubt this fabulous idea has had and may still have some shadow of truth appended to it, when applied to some of our eastern institutions, but let not the youth of Kansas or any neighboring State imagine that these assertions are applicable to the Kansas University. Far from it. Never was there an institution of learning founded which gives the student more freedom as a student, and where there is more equality of feeling among all classes of students. True now and then will appear the ever abomnable head of a self-concocted dude, who will gather around him a few "spider-legs" of his own type, but no sooner does he neglect his University duties, as he inevitably does, than he is ostracised from all good society and soon receives an invitation to the highest tribunal to take a sojourn in the west for his health. With this bigoted and aristocratic nenumkalled on the retired list, again the society moves on uninterruptedly and students of all classes mingle together for the common good.
"U-NO-WIIO."
--about as good an exercise as there is. If we can get twenty-five students interested, and each "thorw in" what he can. I am sure we can raise enough to buy a pole, bar and a mattress or two. We must apply to the faculty for the use of some room in which we can practice. An organization thrown open to all students can be formed and assembled once or twice a week for practice. If the organization becomes too large, we can divide into classes. These classes can elect their own leader and assistant. The result of such an institution cannot but prove beneficial to the health of the students, and we decided advantage to the University
The society and society surroundings of the student are among the most important considerations in the line of education upon which the student as well as parent should dwell. Hence the importance of selecting an institution which is free from all such society evils as are often apparent. Such an institution is seldom found except in the west. Such a school is our State University. Therefore let every good citizen of this State meditate well before sending sons or daughters to eastern institutions where the customs are more or less different from our western ideas. Now let every student consider it his or her personal duty to add all in his power to make the society of K. S. U, still better. Let society lines and distinctions vanish until they mark the difference in pupils, which is shown in their various degrees of morality and sterling worth, and are not guided by superficial looks and the style of the garments worn.
"U. No woe."
ED. VIEWS:—As a student interested in the health of the students and the welfare of the K. S. U., I would like “to clip in a word edgewise” on a subject that has been harped on frequently, but without success. I think one reason why it has failed is because the students expected aid from the State. The subject I refer to is Athletics. It is needless for me, here, to discuss the necessity of physical training in connection with mental, for that is a fact known to all of us, many a young man having left this institution well educated in mind but a physical wreck. Now, instead of going to the Legislature for aid, let some of the energetic students take this matter in hand and start what, in the future, may become a gymnasium, but for the present will make a good turning school. Turning on horizontal bar, single or double, is
AN INTERESTED PERSON.
ED. VIEWS:—For the last month, or two it has been especially apparent, among a certain class of students, that there was a decided manifestation of a lack of interest in many departments of University work. No doubt a large percentage of this inattention was due to the approach of the holidays and a feeling of fatigue after a long term of hard work, but nevertheless the feeling of disregard and disinterest has been entirely too general.
Why is this? What is the primitive cause? It is by no means the fault of our professors, but it is undoubtedly due to the negligence of a certain class who come to this school, not for the purpose of honest work and advancement, not for the prime object of securing an education, but, as they say, for the sole purpose of having a good time and making a pretence to study. In other words, they spend a great part of their time in what is commonly called "flirting" and "promenading in the corridors." Surely this is profitable(?) employment. Why should the funds of the State be consumed in giving the best of advantages to such worthless flirts? Isn't it about time the students would hold a meeting and try to persuade such persons to sever their connection with the University And if this method does not prove effective, no doubt by the interference of the faculty the desired effect could be secured.
Let every one consider this, and,
if it seem in any way applicable to
himself, let him make a resolution
for the better or else stay at home,
as thereby there might be some car
fare saved, as the eye of the faculty
is surely on you.

The Lawrence and Atchison Business College.
AN EDUCATION FOR THE BUSINESS MAN—THE COURSE OF STUDY—ANNUAL REUNION—FARMERS' AND MECHANICS' COURSE.
Kansas boasts of her wonderful educational advantages, and with good reason, since her common schools are equal to those of any State in the Union, while ample provision is made for those who wish to secure a collegiate education. It is certainly through no fault of the State, if the childen within her boards do not secure a fair education. The teachers are fully abreast of the times, while many of them have won national reputations either for their scholastic learning or ability as instructors. It would seem that all the State could do has been done, and yet the education received by a great many people, when they get out into the world and attempt to earn a living, is found to be sady deficient. They may be able to discourse learnedly on the metaphysics of Mill or Hamilton; compute the weight of the sun; analyze the substance of which the earth is composed; give fine distinctions regarding Greek verbs, and yet if called on to make out some of the ordinary forms of papers required in every day business transactions, they will be sadly at ease in the education as given by the State, business colleges have been organized. When rightly managed they are as beneficial to those who wish to engage in business as the professional school is to the lawyer or doctor.
This train of thought was suggested by a recent visit to the Buiness College in this city. The college, as all our readers know, is situated in the third story of the National Bank building, occupying the entire floor. The rooms are all large and possess those prime requisites for schoolrooms—an abundance of light and ventilation. In the line of furniture, they are supplied with the most approved styles of school furniture, and are fully equipped with everything that can benefit the student in his work.
It is supposed that the average student on entering, is possessed of a fair English education, and is prepared to enter at once upon the study of book keeping, which lies at the foundation of a good business education. He spends several months in mastering the principles and familiarizing himself with the details of this subject. In doing this he keeps a set of books and writes up all the transactions that are found in the text-books. At the same time he is studying commercial arithmetic. This is very essential since, however proficient he may be in arithmetic, there are many short methods in use in the business world which are not given in the ordinary text-books, and by means of which much valuable time is saved.
As soon as the student is able to pass a satisfactory examination in the branches just mentioned, he is promoted to the actual business department, where he is given a certain amount of college currency and commences business for himself. In this he has occasion each day to make out order sheets, bills of statements, deposit tickets, to draw and induct checks, drafts and notes, as well as to execute more involved documents, warranty deeds, mortgages and powers of attorney, besides keeping a complicated set of books. This training insures familiarity with the details of business which can only be acquired by experience. The student, as a retail merchant, transacts business with the bank, jobbing house, commission house, transportation office, etc., after which he enters each of these offices, assuming in each case the respective duties of clerk, cashier, book-keeper and manager.
The college bank is a regular, organized banking house, which does a general banking business with students in the business practice department. If receives deposits, payr checks, collects notes and drafts, and does a general banking business, the same as the best organized national banks.
The merchant's emporium is an
office at which are represented the various jobbing houses which supply at wholesale the stocks of merchandise required by those doing business in the department of Business Practice. The duties of this office involve making and copying letters, verifying invoices, rendering statements, keeping a bank account, and a set of wholesale books.
We have outlined the course of study which the average student will have to pursue in order to graduate. After the completion of this course and passing a satisfactory examination, the student is given a diploma, and a letter of recommendation which states exactly what he has done in school, and shows just where he is weak, and where he is strong.
FARMER'S AND MECHANIC'S COURSE
In order to supply a want which has been felt in this direction, a special four-months' course for the benefit of farmers and mechanics has been arranged, and will be organized when school opens on the fifth of January, after the holiday vacation. In this instruction will be given in those subjects most needed for farmers and mechanics. As such a large proportion of the people of this country are farmers, this course cannot fail to be very popular.
Prof. McIlravy, the principal, has had charge of the college for the past four years, during which time it has been built up from almost nothing to its present condition. About a year ago he decided to open a similar school in Atchison, which should be under his personal supervision and should be the exact counterpart of this. This experiment has proven highly satisfactory, as the Atchison school is now in a flourishing condition. Prof. McIlravy has personal supervision over it, and makes frequent visits there. A few months ago he sold a half interest in both colleges to his brother. H. G. McIlravy, who is now associated with him.
On the evening of the eighth of January the annual reunion of the students and alumni will be held in the college rooms These are always very pleasant occasions, and frequently old students come long distance to be present.
The teachers are all experienced instructors with practical business experience. From their knowledge of the business world, they are able to give the student valuable instruction, and warn him of the danger he will have to encounter in future years. We have have examined the workings of the school in the various departments and can most emphatically endorse it as a valuable training school for young men and women whatever may be their calling in life. The Lawrence and Aitchison business college is an institution second to none in the west as a place where young men and women can secure thorough business training.

The Memphis Short route South, with its Through Buffet Sleeping Cars Kansas City to New Orleans, its Free Recalling Chair Cars Kansas City to Memphis (and being over one hundred miles the shortest line to the South), is practically the only line from Kansas City, the West and Northwest, to all Southern cities. No other line runs through cars between Kansas City and New Orleans. No other route can offer but one change of cars from Kansas City to Jacksonville and other Florida points. There is no other good route between the West and the South, Ask your Ticket Agent for tickets via the Memphis Short Route, Write for large msp, with Time Tables, showing through connections.

CUPID DARTS.
Through the unnatural state of atmospheric affairs or some other unknown cause our "Cupid Dart" wire has been in such bad order this week that in spite of strenuous efforts to secure sufficient returns to make even a presentable showing in this column we failed.
LATER—Wire is all right. Returns for next week promise very strong. Holidays evidently are not passing for naught. En.
MELVILLE—Saturday night, Mr. Charles Melville being here in a visit from St. Paul, Minn., a large number of his friends assembled at his home on Ohio street, and spent the evening hours in a most enjoyable manner. Muscle, dancing, card-playing, and social games generally made all as mery as marriage bells. Among those present were the Misses Powell, Misses Ada Taylor, Adela Taylor, Nettie Littal, Mamie Henshaw, Clara Poehler, Jessie West, Flora Leis, May Churchlin, Lannie Worthington, Mattie Russell, Nellie Palmer, Mrs. and Mr. Crome, Waverly, Kan, Messrs. Theo Poehler, Frank Churechull, Richard Lanon, Charlie Slutter, Burch, Ed. Warce, Charles Melville, St. Paul, Minn., Fred. Morris.
USER GUARDS—The crowning social event of the season was the ball given by company H. on Christmas night. The boys decorated the wall with beautiful designs in evergreen and flags were fattooned on every side. “Camp Sluccair” adorned the stage, and within the tent a graceful Christmas tree gleamed with shining lights. The company’s flag was suspended in front of the camp, and the entire hall was one perfect scene of beauty and merriment. A very large and select crowd was present, and quite a number from neighboring cities partook of the festivities. Some of the most elegant costumes ever worn in Lawrence were noticed. Dancing continued until the early morning when the jolly crowd dispersed, after spending one of the most delightful evenings of their lives. The entire affair was a grand success both socially and financially, and the boys receive the unanimous thanks of all pleasure loving people for the enjoyable entertainments they have provided. The following persons were present: Misses Eunna Lewis, Fannie Carmean, Nellie Cole, May Bassett, Belle Roberts, Fannie Levy, Carrie Levy, May Webster, Nellie Mollson, Georgia Brown, Bellio Love, Lena Board, Georgia Gillette, Birdle Crew, Ella Williamson, Ber莎鹤 Eva Hoadley, Mattile Erb, Mamie Henshaw, May Portier, Sue Popenoe, Ella Hynes, Minnie Weber, Carrie Steinberg, Minnie and May Anderson of topeka, Clara Greenamery, Messrs. L. Lewis, Herb Will Penfield, Chas Stone, Herb Bullene, Abe Levy, Clarence Headley, Dan Crew, Harry Riggs, Geo. Anderson, Ed Fluke, Frank Haskell, Harrie Rushman, Lee Leiter, Harry Rushman, Chas Meyer, Howard Duncan, Joe Bayne, Will Pitzer, Rob Rankin, Ben Akers, C. E. Davis, Will Headley, Max Strauss, Geo Leonard, Joan Highbotham, of topeka, Charles Powell, of topeka, Al. Conner, Harrie Hubbel Hoppeone, Nate McCague, Dick Horton, Gus, Wuber, Dan Kennedy, C. Cramer, Grossepul, J.E Parke and wife, O. Barber and wife, John Barber and wife, Geo Tracy and wife, N. Goslin and wife, A. McCoy and wife, Mrs. T. J. Anderson, of topeka; Mrs. Jos, Green amyer. The boys promise another of these delightful balls on New Years eve, for which a fine orchestra from Kansas City will furnish the music. To this society people look forward with pleasure.
CLARKE.—The Wednesday of Christmas week was made a most enjoyable day at the residence of Mrs. H. S. Clarke on Rhode Island street, by the presence of a few intimate friends; viz., Gov. and Mrs. Robinson, Col. and Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Patterson, Mr. and Mrs. John Hutchings.
GREENAMYER—Quite a number of the friends of Clara Greenamyer were very pleasantly entertained at her home on last Saturday evening in honor of her cousins, Minsie and
May Anderson, of Topkka. Music, cards and dancing furnished the entertainment. During the evening Miss May favored the company with some of her choice selections and rendered them in a very excellent manner. Miss Anderson is a graduate of Dixon's School of Excution in Chicago, and is one of the most promising young excuserists in the state. About 11 o'clock refreshments were served after which the party dispersed, having spent a very pleasant evening. Among those present were Misses Minnie and May Anderson, Fannie Levy, May Bassett, Mrs. Leyv and Mrs. T. J. Anderson. Messers, G. E. Winders, of Wichita, Abe Levy, Harry Harbaugh and Rob Fluke.
PRESBYTTEIAN CHRISTMAS CAROLS.
The Presbyterians in their usual hospitable manner entertained their Sunday school scholars and other friends in a very pleasant way last Monday evening. The choir favored the audience with some excellent music and a cornet solo by Prof. Bell was a rare treat. An instrumental quartet in which Mrs. Bell played the slide trombone was one of the greatest attractions of the evening, Prof. Bailey, of the University, then entertained the audience with magic lantern scenes, from Jerusalem and London, interspersed with comic scenes for the children's amusement. After this part of the program, the Sunday school scholars were treated to candy, oranges etc., much to the delight of the older ones present who were fortunate enough to come in for a share. Taken as *p* whole the entertainment was throughout very creditable, and will not soon be forgotten by those who were present. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity, and standing room only could be obtained.
HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. — The Junior Literary Society of the High School held a re-union Friday evening at the home of Flint Wemple. The evening was filled with delights not the least of which was an elegant lunch, partaken of with a zest that showed that the previous enjoyments of the evening had not been without their effect. Those present were Hattie McCague, Katie Riggs, Sue Hadly, Maud Flore, Minnie Innes, Emma Solea, Inez Heinshaw, Nellie Allendorf, Lola Buckingham, Jill Bowersock, Ed. Schail, Bert Ranklin, Eugene Allendorf, Robert Johnson and Flint Wemple.
SHANE.—Another pleasant dancing party was held at the studio rooms of Mr. George Shane on last Tuesday evening. The young folks have organized a society for the purpose of learning the terpsichoroneart, and meet every Tuesday for that purpose. The following are the names of members: G-george McCarthy, Ella Smith, Ruth Woodward, Carrie Harbaugh, Misses Davis andSmith, Messrs. Shane, Gillman, Bayne, Carmen, Borgholthaus, Davis, Lindhau, Bindhaug.
Oltsa —Tuesday evening a pleasant party of young people, according to previous arrangements by Miss Nellie Sands, gathered at the residence of Miss Lora Olds, in North Lawrence, and gave her a complete surprise. Among those present were Misses Nellie Sands, Maggie Charlton, Helen Moore, Annie Baker, Pearl Laptad, and MESSy Ello Moore, Jr., Orrie Dillon, Willie Walton, and Carl Phillips. After spending an evening of social enjoyment and partaking of a bountiful repast, the pleasant company departed, having made a good impression with their friendly smiles and kindly manners.
Miss Laura Lyons very pleasantly entertained select friends at her home Monday evening.
GILLETTE—Miss Georgia Gillette very happily entertained a few friends Tuesday night at her home. Cards, music and dancing under the guidance of the accomplished hostess made the hours pass very pleasantly. Those present were Misses May Webster, Belle Love, Maude Mansfield, Messrs, Lute Lewis, Herbert Bullene, Rob. Rankin, Ed. Russell.
Col. Chas Duncan entertained a few of his gentlemen friends at his residence Monday evening.
Horse.—The fair maidens and gallant lads of the Lawrence high school assembled Monday evening at the House mansion on the occasion of a reception given by the Delta Tau Alpha fraternity at which a very enjoyable time is reported. An elegant repast was served and all went home delighted with the entertainment of the young Greeks. There were present Lewis Selig and Rachel House; Myron Mason, Robbie House, Ida King, Flint Wemple, May Rushmer, Lewis Crane, Alice Mason.
A severe story is given currency on one of our well known young men's modus operandi of making a Xmas present to his best girl. We don't believe it. Brace up young man, and make somebody die.
In a very prominent mansion in our city anxious parents are very closely watching the movements of a favorite daughter who fain would fly with one of our gay Lotharius. Young man the Coccher is on the watch too.
NEW YEARS CALLS.
Though undoubtedly a great desire of informal calling will be done to morrow the list of those who will extend courtesies to general friends is evidently very small. The weather of the past few days undoubtedly has much to do with this; the mud making all loth to open their parlors.
At the home of Misses Josie and Hattie Cooke, 1408 Kentucky street the ladies of the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity will make happy all the friends who call. The ladies are Misses Hattie Dunn, Josie Cooke, Alice Pettee, Lizzie Pettee, Hattie Cooke, Hattie Haskell, May Webster, Angie Loge, Lucia Moore, Lizzie and Kate Wilder, Nellie Furniss, Tella Chapman and Maude Thrasher.

INNES.—On Tuesday evening Mr. Geo. Innes invited all his clerks and their wives, if they were fortunate enough to possess such luxuries, to an old fashioned "house warming" in his new home on Louisiana street. It is needless to say that all it responded the kind invitation, and a most enjoyable evening was spent. An elegant supper was served early in the evening, and it was enjoyed in a way only known to "laboring people." After supper the time was spent in pleasant conversation and music. Mr. Innes' new home is one of the most elegant in the city, and the genial cordiality of Mr. and Mrs. Innes is enough to ensure a delightful evening to all guests. While the kind attention of Miss Minnie and the winome ways of little Jennie were by no means an unimportant feature in the evening's pleasure. The following is a list of the guests present: Mr. and Mrs. Osban Shannon, Mr. and Mrs. Jonzby, Mr. and Mrs. James Grey,Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Beatty,Mr. and Mrs. Willett, Mr. Patterson and Miss Finn, Mr. Rob.

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