The Phi Deltas have a party on the tanis for the not far distant future.
Every one who can, should attend the oratorical contest next Friday.
The I. C.'s will entertain their gentlemen friends the evening of the 19th.
The weather seems to have cooled the ardor of the base ball and foot ball men.
We are sorry to announce it, but the last round was decided in favor of Horton.
The concert to-night will be one of the best entertainments of the year. You can't afford to miss it.
A round trip ticket to the oratorical contest at Topeka can be had for seventy-five cents.
If the person who sent us that vile cigar will let us know where he or she lives we will proceed to get even.
The middle class at the high school entertained their friends Friday afternoon with very pleasing literary program.
The meeting of the Unity Club last Friday evening was very successful. Mrs. Diggs delivered her lecture on "Boycottting."
The Seniors generally are not pleased with the new way of making appointments. They say it is merely a way of dodging.
Several students took part in the spiritual meeting held in the city last week. We understand that Sullivan is a first-class medium.
Blair and Crowell went to the country Friday evening to attend a "hoode down." They danced in a barn until two o'clock, then wended their way home, arriving here in time to get breakfast.
The judges on the oratorical contest will be Hon. Charles Blair of Leavenworth, Chief Justice A. H. Horton of Atchion, and Rev. Page of Leavenworth.
The fifth lecture of the course will be delivered next Tuesday evening, by Prof. Francis E. Pipher of Washington University. His subject is the "Nature and Aims of Physical Investigation."
The last meeting of the Y. W. C. A. was held Tuesday afternoon, and was conducted by Miss Lida Jacke. The next meeting will be held on the afternoon of March 9th, and will be conducted by Cora Kimball.
The good work which the Chancellor has done in securing the passage of the Pharmacy bill is known only to a few. It is not too much to say that the appropriation made is due more largely to the efforts of Dr. Lippincott than to the efforts of any other party or parties interested.
The Kent Club holds its regular meeting to-night. The following program will be rendered: Oration, Blair; declaration, Sullivan; paper, F. D. Hutchings; debate, Resolved that the Homestead and Exemption Laws of Kansas should be abolished: affirmative, W. C. Stevens; negative, W. M. Thacher
The lectures given by Dr. Nichols before the Junior class in Physics are full of interest, enlivened by numerous experiments. As these lectures are given in the afternoon, others than those in the regular class should avail themselves of the opportunity of gaining usful information combined with pleasure.
The following is the program of Orophilian for this afternoon:
Readings, Miss Hair and Mr. Rinzie; essays, Miss Arnett. Sidney Phillips; declamations, Misses White and Bartell; orations, Halligan, Rolston and Hackey; debate, affirmative, W. T. Reed, Squires and Mary Sabin; negative, T. F. Doran, Relling and Alback.
Mr. J. K. Emmet, who appears at the Opera House March 11th, needs no introduction to the students. He is the same old favorite he used to be, and the recollection of former engagements in our city are sufficient to insure him a warm reception. His new play, by the way, is great, and you will certainly regret it if you do not hear him.
Oread program for this afternoon: Declamations, Josie Cook and Sadie Emery; readings, Frank Crowell and Laura Lyons; essays, Evelyn Smith, and L. A. Stebbins; orations, Nickel, McAlpine; debate, Resolved that the Charity Institutions throughout the State should not be supported by the State—affirmative, W. H. Brown and A. C. Markley; negative, S. T. Gilmore and W. M. Thacher.
Superintendent Parish and James Mears have not been on good terms for a long time, and Saturday morning they proceeded to settle their difficulties in a pugilistic way. From what we can learn Mears was getting the best of the Superintendent when they were separated. The students are all on Mears' side, who claims that Parish is trying to get rid of him in order to appoint one of his personal friends to the place.
Jackson: "Why, I would rather go around a dozen times than send a note."
Deford: "I will send a note around to-morrow."
Jackson: "Deford, why don't you ask your girl for the dance."
Deford: "Don't doubt it, old boy,
don't doubt it."
"That should be placed in the category of the incomprehensible."
Oread had an interesting meeting last Friday. The literary program consisted of an essay by Jack Schall, a reading by W. H. Brown, a declaration by Helen Sutliff, an oration by W. Priestly, an instrumental solo by Miss Highbargin, and a debate, supported on the affirmative by Riggs, and the negative by Jenks. Miss Harrigan the new president, makes
Hunnicut, the new president, makes
an excellent presiding officer. After the literary program and miscellaneous business they had as ocial good time.
The following letter to the COURIER explains itself :
DEAR BOTS: —I assure you, one of the most welcome bits of news I have received since I landed on the this side, was that which informed me of the consolidation of the two Couriers. The last bearer between it and the front ranks of college journalism has been removed, and there is no reason why it should not take its well merited position. Allow me to congratulate you most heartily, and to wish you all manner of success.

Handel-Haydn.
The Handel-Haydn concert last Tuesday evening was one of the finest home entertainments ever given in Lawrence. The success of the Handel-Haydn society is greatly due to the efforts of Profs. MacDonald and Aldrich. The entertainment was excellent, each performer appearing at their best. The solos by Bertha Starr, Mrs. Parke, Mr. Mull and Mr. Lott were well rendered, and received the merited applause of the audience. The duet by Mabel Gore and Prof. MacDonald was rendered in true classic style as all their duets are.
The orchestra, led by Prof. Aldrich, was one of the events of the evening. The solo by Mrs. Sol Marks was thought by many to be the finest ever given at a home entertainment in Lawrence. Mrs. Marks has studied under some of the best teachers in the country, and is one of the best singers that has ever been in Lawrence. Prof. MacDonald's solo wss well received. The vocal solo by Mrs. Grant was highly appreciated by the audience, and received merited applause. The Handel-Haydn society can rest assured that all of their concerts hereafter will be well attended.

The Board of Regents, in a special meeting last Tuesday, appropriated seven hundred dollars for the fitting up of the Pharmacy laboratory, and fifty dollars for a magic lantern attachment. They also made Greek and Roman history one of the requirements for admission into the Freshman class.
The Solmon Valley Democrat, edited by M. J. Keys & Co., reaches our table in a new and enlarged form. Mr. Keys is well known to the students of the University as an honest, energetic worker. His success is in accordance with the expectations and wishes of his many friends.
At a conference of labor leaders held in Pittsburg February 25th, it was decided to send a representative committee of working men to Washington to advocate the interests of the tariff before Congress. The leaders of the laboring class may occasionally make mistakes in certain directions, but in regard to the tariff, their heads are long and level.
We are informed by no less than four of our exchanges that Secretary Bayary is to deliver the annual address before the literary societies of Kansas University in June. We had not heard of this before, but are very much pleased with the information. The Secretary delivered a very excellent lecture before our literary societies last year. It appears that our soporific exchanges have just heard of the announcement that appeared over a year ago.
The announcement that with the end of the college year Prof. Spring will sever his connection with the University, will be heard with regret by all. We can only rejoice that our professor is taking a forward step, personally considered. His wife's health has not permitted her to reside in Kansas for two years, and physicians say she must not return. At Williams he will have greater opportunity for reading and literary work, and a larger salary. Taking these things together, the decision was inevitable, and Professor Spring will occupy the chair of English literature in his alma mater, Williams college.
MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO GO TO TOPERA ON THE 12TH. — The University must win this year. There is nothing that will encourage our speaker more than to see a large delegation of University students in the audience. Mr. Crane is a representative student in every sense of the term. He is a fine scholar, a brilliant orator, and a right good fellow. No one could have been selected who would represent the students better. As our representative we are bound to support him. Let every student make arrangements to go and take another student. We will have a jubilee, by the side of which the demonstrations of two years ago will sink into insignificance.
--people no longer fearing the master's lash, will turn from national politics to local issues. Each will vote in accordance with the interests of his state or county. The whites, no longer fearing lest their former servants should become their political masters, will lay aside their shotguns and their tissue ballots and solicit the colored vote in support of local interests. In Alabama where there are extensive coal beds and fields of iron, the negro will vote for protection; in Louisiana he will cast his ballot for free trade. Both of the great political parties will strive equally hard to secure the colored vote. There can be no other result than the establishment of harmony between the two classes and the melioration of the colored race.
The free lance with which the Courier stands ready to carve into any action of regents or faculty which may not be in harmony with the general consensus of the students, seems to be an instrument unknown to eastern colleges. It is sometimes judged from this freedom of criticism, that the relations between the students of the University and the professors are not of a harmonious nature. We wish to say that no conclusion could be more removed from the truth. The intimacy and friendship between the students and the individual members of the faculty, is fully as marked here as in any college in the land. To the Western mind there is a difference between a criticism of an idea and a personal assault. Our faculty sometimes, like all other faculties, makes mistakes. We criticise the error, but at the same time preserve the best of harmony with the professors themselves. "With all their faults we love them still."
.
The admirable lecture of Judge Tourgee has again brought before us the problem of the South and the Colored race. The lecturer brought out the fact that the colored race in the South is increasing more rapidly than the white, and seemed to think that this would increase the hatred between the two races. He thought that as the strength of the negroes increased, the opposition and hatred would increase proportionately, until at length with another war we should pay the penalty for our shortsightedness. The only hope of escaping this calamity, in the opinion of the speaker, is in education. Assuming the conclusion of the lecturer to be true, that the hostility between the two races will increase with the growth of the colored race, the outlook is far from a cheerful one. But for ourselves we prefer to take a more hopeful view of the situation. We are hopeful because there is little or no reason why we should be hatred between the two races. The old issues which have kept up a constant hostility between the two classes are fast becoming a thing of the past. For twenty years the negroes have believed that with a change of administration their rights and privileges would be greatly impaired. In order to secure the solid negro vote, republican leaders have not been slow to encourage and enforce this belief. Great numbers of the colored race have firmly believed that with the election of a democratic president they would be reduced to slavery. But a change of administration has come, and although we fought against it and were slow to receive it, yet we must confess that out of this Nazareth has come some good. The negroes have learned that no matter what party is in power, their liberties are secure. They have learned that a solid negro vote is not necessary to maintain their personal freedom.
What will be the result? It seems to us that there can be but one answer to this question—the "solid South" will be broken. The colored
"He that fights this day with me shall be my brother;
Be he ne'er so vile, this day shall better his condition."
The unsatisfactory appointments for commencement last year seem to have induced the faculty to try a new method. By a recent action on this subject, all the Seniors are required to hand in competitive orations by the 15th of April, and from the orations thus presented the representatives for commencement will be chosen. If we were to say that the Seniors are displeased with this action we would express their feelings very mildly. To the student who has worked hard and faithfully for four long years, who has always stood highest in his department, who has been known as a strong thinker and a ready writer, the throwing out all his chances for deserved honor, a the hands of the faculty, into the balance which may be easily turned by a few grains of political bias or religious prejudice, is a hazard which he ought not to be called upon to venture. By this means of appointment the student who has been thoroughly poor in all his works for the last four years, stands an equal chance with the student who has lee his class. But this is only one side of the injustice. For the next six weeks the whole Senior class will be working and worrying, some striving for honors already fairly won, and some for honors which they do not deserve. In either case, other more important work will be neglected, and in the end the result cannot be more satisfactory than that which the record of grades would show by a moment's inspection, to be most just and fitting.

SAINTS AND SINNERS.
Not less than half a dozen have asked me anent my remarks about the Normal's salt lands, whether I intended including Emporia with the Baldwin Bakery in my budget of ridicule. God forgive me for mentioning the two schools in the same paragraph. I thought my acquaintances gave me credit for better horse judgment. I am able as yet to discriminate between Edwin Forrest and Alvin Joslin, George Washington and Jesse James, the Emporia Normal and the Baldwin Bakery. The Normal, from all I can learn, has a most excellent faculty of instructors, is producing an able corps of public teachers and is every way maintaining the same high relation to the teacher's profession that the University is to general scholarship. To compare its finished and cultured products with the wishy-washy, half-cooked, unseasoned doughnuts that are being dump out of the Bakery frying pan, is a travesty upon language, upon reason, upon common sense.

The Tougee lecture was a novelty—a scrambled lecture, as it were. I went early and saw all the fun—and all the fun did not come from the lecture, by a long ways. By some freak of ill luck only two ushers reported for duty that night. All at once the crowd commenced surging in—an extraordinary crowd, an intellectual crowd, a crowd that would be paralyzed with horror at the usual routine of theatrical plays, a crowd that one don't see in a theatre once in a decade. But Judge Tougeee was an eminently proper man, and so they went. Probably more ushers would have been of no use, for the crowd didn't follow or obey those that were on hand. The audience scattered around at sweet pleasure, and at last got seated. Strange to say, the ushers did not go mad.
After considerable gesticulation by the manager from between the wings, in full view of the audience, Judge Tourgee was coaxed onto the stage. After Judge Nevison had given his pedigree and pointed out his good points pointedly, Judge Tourgee commenced his lecture, "The Story Teller's Story"—no he didn't, either! That was what his audience had been promised, and what they paid to hear, but Judge Tourgee flew the track and commenced discoursing the present, past, future and eternity of the negro. The lecture, however, was a rich, rare and unusual treat. Those who missed it missed much, and had the usual theatrical goers been present, they would have cracked the rafters with laughter. I don't intend to review the piece or attempt to describe the style, for a move is on foot to get the Judge back, when each person can be his own critic. If he comes, every one who likes to forget himself in laucher should go; and the opera house should provide an usher for each and every person purchasing a seat.

For years I have been curious to know what ladies put in the portmanteaus they carry in their hands. I am not curious any more, and I beg my gentlemen friends to take my word and never investigate. Last Saturday I was walking with one of our prettiest University belles, when some country boor brushed against her, knocking her hand-bag to the walk. It flew open, when out rolled —O, heaven! a box of pearl-powder, perfumed "complexion liquid," and

Over one-third of the members in the Handel-Haydn concert last Tuesday were former University students. The entertainment was splendid—the best given by local talent for many a year. But as the daily papers have said all this and super-added the usual big lot of flattering twaddle, I am left the usual duty of screening out the faulty points. The nervousness of the members, the awkwardness of the orchestra in seating themselves and retiring, and the occasional discords, showed that the concert had been too hastily pitchforked on the stage. I was amused when Gilmore stepped behind the wings and returned wiping his mouth; but as most of the audience did not observe him, perhaps, I will not dwell on the fact. Moreover, playing the flute is dry work, and the best of men will occasionally drink water. To my high estimation of Mrs. Marks and Mrs. Grant as vocalists was added a large admiration for their common sense in refusing to respond to the encore nuisance. The Handel-Haydn should prohibit recalls.

As my readers know, I have little sympathy to waste on the oratorical association. As long as our University is connected with the humbug, however, I want it to be the big fish in the pond. The students should turn out en masse and accompany our representative to Topeka. Crane is in a position to do our institution proud. He is by far the finest speaker the University has ever presented in a state contest, enjoys a greater popularity and stands a fair show of carrying off the honors. At any rate, he will do us credit. It is due therefore, both to his abilities and the reputation of the University, that we give him a warm ovation. Since a number of special coaches have been engaged for the occasion, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a lot of white muslin and a paint pot and decorate the cars with true student art. Let us make the natives open their eyes.
What queer contradictions one sometimes hears. A while back I was talking with a high official of the Y. M. C. A. about our H. F. Clark ("Big Clark"), for some time secretary of the R. R. branch of the Association at Kansas City, but now superintendent of the Beloit schools. The Kansas City position, which paid a pretty fat salary and some mighty rich perquisites, was obtained for Clark through the influence of Prof. Canfield and other friends. It seemed strange that Clark should voluntarily give it up and go to the vexatious school room at much less wages. Well, this Y. M. C. A. official told me that Clark had made a failure of the secretaryship, that he was practically ousted, and luckily got into the Beloit schools by the skin of his teeth. His successor in Kansas City, I was told, had brought the Association to a high pitch again. So the story went. Last Monday I happened to be talking with Prof. Hallek, formerly superintendent of the Wichita schools. He told me that Clark had made a wonderful success of the K. C. Association, and that the people were wild to retain him, even asking Halleck to use his good offices to get Clark to stay. Clark, however, hankered after old idols—school teaching—and threw up his position with the Y. M. C. A. at that place to accept the Beloit place. The new secretary, it was added, was a perfect fizzle. "The srange things we hear, and the srange things we do."

The Ohio Contest.
The second and successful oration of the evening was by Howard H. Russell, of Oberlin, who will represent the State of Ohio in the interstate contest. The gentleman is of average height, with a firm and strong face, and a powerful voice and presence, forcible utterance and action, and an ease and individuality before an audience, gained by a large experience in public speaking. When this oration was announced Mr. Russell, with an air of confidence that almost amounted to boldness, ascended the steps to the rostrum, moved promptly to the front and began his address, "Ladies and gentlemen and fellow students." To use this "adult" form of address is unusual for orators who are not on the nether side of the sheep skin, and it has in a few instances been construed to indicate an air of too great boldness, and has even resulted in a prejudice against the speaker. Not so, however, with the gentleman who used it on this occasion. It was natural to him, and was in place. The subject of the oration, "Mob Law," was handled in rather a novel way. It represented two scenes. The first directed the attention to an educated socialist addressing an enraged and uproarous mob. The gentleman pictured it in an accurate and vivid manner, introducing many of the shallow arguments that are imposed upon the ignorant, while he kept the crazed rioters and the effect of the speaker's words upon them in view by occasional shouts of approval from individuals in the crowd before him. The speaker moulded the mad mob to his own will, until they rush forth with the determination to set fire to a certain factory of the city. But they have but made a single move toward this purpose when one of their own number, an ignorant laborer like them all, springs to the platform and checks them, succeeds in securing their attention, and in a plain, blunt speech exposes the follies and false motives of the speaker who had preceded him. This, with the lesson they teach, constitute the oration. The method of treatment was well conceived, and allowed its author to advert to the various phases of the question, the arguments or either side, in a peculiarly happy and foreable way. The many advantages that this striking mode of presenting the subject offered, were evidently well studied by Mr. Russell and well used.
It might perhaps be a matter of criticism that the oration was the representation of others rather than an expression of the author himself, but these novel features so efficiently served the author's purpose, and he so forcibly presented the lesson taught by the scenes upon which his hearers had just looked, as to preclude, we believe, any adverse criticism at this point. We regret that we are unable to publish this winning oration, but it was the expressed desire and personal request of Mr. Russell that his oration should not appear in public print because he thought he would not have time before the interstate contest to write another oration or even change this one in any material respect. Mr. Russell's delivery was natural and forcible. An elocutionist might have said that his modulation was very imperfect, a fact that would have been painfully apparent had it not been for his impressive manner and striking treatment of a live subject. The popular verdict confirmed the decision of the judges in awarding this oration first place, and Ohio may hope for a creditable distinction in the contest with other states.—Voice.
Marshall and Brown will both appear on the program at the Unity Club to-night.
EXCHANEG.
The Illini of February 8th notes several important changes that have been made in the revised Constitution of the Illinois Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Association. Among the changes, the principal ones are given: "The orators hereafter to be marked on the following basis—One-half on delivery, and one-fourth each on thought and composition. Formerly these three subjects entered equally into the system of marking, each counting one-third. The maximum limit has been made 1,800 words, while no minimum limit is given."
My Heeler.
My heeler.
Who under my umbrella walks?
Who of my vior loudly talks,
While in my clothes he proudly stalks?
My healer
My heeler.
Who borrows when I'm flush, from me,
And owes it back when flush is he
And I am broken totally?
Who smokes my pipe? Who takes my books?
Who prizes into my sacred nooks?
Who through my bills and letters looks?
My brother.
Who says "Deah boy," when o' we meet,
And takes my arm on the street?
Oh, hear he comes, and I must treat
My healer
My heeler.
Papa (soberly): "That was quite a monstrosity you had in the parlor last evening." Maud (nettled): "Indeed! That must depend on one's understanding of term 'monstrosity'" Papa (thoughtfully): "Well, two heads on one pair of shoulders, for example."
Any one who has ever contemplated the look of abject regret curled up in the features of the man who can't waltz, while some more fortunate oak of humanity is whirling the wife of his bosom, dizzy, will not be at a loss to appreciate the truthfulness of the following observations: The man who can't do his hugging in unison with the billows of harmony and the rasping of a fiddle, is to be considered an object of pity wherever rythmic squeezing is fashionable. While a man with flexible legs and no brains to speak of is whirling around the room hugging the best looking girl he could secure, this unfortunate victim is sitting in a corner and looking on, with a quivering chill at the heart and a sad feeling in his bosom that can never be realized. He may have as much strength in his arms as Apollo with his coat off, but if he has not an education in his legs of the polite sort, he will have no chance to impede the breathing of any woman who prefers migratory squeezing to quiet comfort in a corner.

Excellent attractions still continue at the opera house. On the 5th of March we are again to be favored with a concert by the Mendelsshon Quintette Club, of Boston. The mere announcement is sufficient to insure a crowded house. The entertainment will be pleasing not only to students of music, but to any one who has the slightest musical taste. Only the composition of the best composers is to be found on the program. The lighter portion of the concert will perhaps be the vocal rendition by Miss Edith Edwards. The concert is one that no student can afford to miss, considering the low price of seats. Parquett, 75 cents; balcony less. No doubt the students will turn out in force.
Abe Levy says black hose are fashionable.
Students, attention is called to Dr. Barrows' advertisement in this issue. Dr. Barrows is an experienced physician, and all in need of medical services would do well to call upon him.

His songs are sung in the parlorists of the rich and poor.

CLASS IN PHYSICS—Prof.: Now, Mr. Wheeler you may place one pole of the battery in connection with your forehead, and then seize the other wire with your right hand. In this way you will pass the electric current through your brain, and will experience the sensation of sight even with your eyes closed.
Wheeler (doing as directed): Yes, I seem to see a very clear violet blue color.
Prof. : Just the result which we should have expected. The class will notice that this is the same color obtained by passing the electric spark through the vacuum. Audible smile.

VICTORY IS OURS! Crane Carries the Day
The result of the State contest gives the University first place and Baker second.
MARCH 13th.—The third annual State Oratorical Contest occurred last night, at the Grand Opera House in Topeka. The immense auditorium was completely filled, both parquette and balcony, and the audience was undoubtedly the largest and most cultured ever assembled in the State of Kansas to listen to an entertainment of the kind. About one hundred and twenty-five University students were there, fifty-eight from Baker, and several from the other colleges, besides all the students of Washburn, and many citizens of Topeka. There were six colleges represented—the State University, Washburn, Baker, State Normal, Emporia and Ottawa. Baker, which was shut out last year for failing to send a representative, having been readmitted.
After a few introductory remarks concerning the aim of the Oratorical Association by Ellsworth Ingalls, president of the State organization, E. M. Randall, Jr., of Baker University, was introduced as the first speaker of the evening. Mr. Randall's subject, "Martin Luther," was well handled, though, perhaps, in too much of narrative style, while his gestures were somewhat awkward, and his voice monotonous. He won the second place.
Ewing Herbert, of Emporia college, was the next speaker. He spoke on "Journalism," and had a very fair production, which was somewhat marred however, by a poor delivery. Mr. Herbert has a good voice, and only needs training to become an excellent orator.
Miss Sue Hoaglin then represented the State Normal. Her elocutionary powers showed careful cultivation. Her production on the "Mission of Faith" did not equal her delivery, which, however, was almost too dramatic to suit the occasion.
The next speaker was Chas. A. Greenlees, of Washburn. He had a good essay on "Independence of Thought," but failed to enter into the spirit of his speech, while his delivery was very poor indeed.
The last speaker of the evening was Miss Alice Boomer, of Ottawa University. She did fairly, but labored under the difficulty of a poor voice. Her oration on the subject "Benefits Christianity has given to Woman," would have taken better had it been more gracefully written.
After him came our own representative, Cyrus Crane, of whom we can truthfully say that he surpassed all former brilliant efforts. The subject of his oration, which may be found on the third page, was "Individual Men and the Masses." He was the only speaker of the evening that held the close attention of the immense audience from beginning to end, and called forth frequent bursts of applause during his speech. He was accorded the first place, not only by the decision of the judges, but by the unanimous verdict of all present.
was awaited with much interest, and the announcement that the first prize was awarded to Cyrus Crane was received with deafening applause. While the disposition of the second prize seemed satisfactory, many tho't Miss Hoagland should have received it. Washburn received third, Ottawa fourth, Emporia Normal fifth, and Emporia sixth. Crane's grade was $93\frac{2}{3}$, Randail's $92\frac{2}{3}$. Yale and Harvard graduates residing in Topeka occupies boxes at the opera house, floating their colors, and much more interest was shown by the citizens at large than at any previous contest. It was considered a high compliment to Crane that the Yale men waved their banner after he spoke, considering his the best speech of the evening.
The program of the evening was varied by the Washburn male quartette, and by some female quartette. Dan Crew favored the audience with a few songs while the judges were making their decision. The result
The judges of the contest were Chief Justice Horton, Gen. C.W. Blair, and Hon. J.R.Burton. The full markings will be given next week.
The K. S. U. students returned home on the early morning train, and carried Crane up from the depot on their shoulders, ending the affair with a grand bonfire to celebrate the victory.
COURIERS containing the winning oration were on sale at the doors immediately after the contest, and were eagerly sought for.
This result of the contest gives K. S. U. two victories out of three state contests, and gives Kansas a representative at the inter-state contest to be held in Lawrence May 6th, of whom she may well be proud, and expect better report at the inter-state than any before. Mr. Crane, the successful orator, is a Junior and a Phi Kappa Psi.
On next Tuesday evening will be Dr. Wilcox's first public lecture in K. S. U. It is looked forward to with much interest by all, since a rare treat may be expected from a gentleman of such ripe culture and extensive information as Dr. Wilcox.

In the columns of the Hampden Sidney Magazine we notice the following very interesting editorial:
"We cannot in these columns acknowledge the receipt of every book or paper received; yet we cannot for bear mentioning the receipt of Vick's Floral Guide for 1886."
The Courier appreciates the peculiar embarrassment of the Magazine referred to. We recently received a handsomely bound copy of Dr. Hostetter's Medical Almanac, but want of space prevented us from making the extended notice which it should have received.
A writer in the February number of the Alabama University Monthly, writing on the subject of woman suffrage, advances the somewhat novel argument that an effect of women's rights would be "that ambitious men would marry for the purpose alone of gaining a vote."
It would seem from this that the opportunities for marrying in Alabama are very numerous and are attended with little expense. To the University student who "feeds" his "solid omnivorous" for four long years and then finds himself no nearer the object of his fond expectation than at first, the above will not be unpleasant reading. "There's a land that is fairer than this,"
--cannot hope to retain our best professors unless greater inducements are presented than those which are now offered.

But there are others whom the University could not afford to lose, who may leave at any time.

We admire a rooster for two things. One is his crowing and the other is his spurs to back it. For similar reasons we like a student who has an opinion of his own, and who is ready to express and defend it on all occasions. Nothing is more disgusting than to see a student who, as he approaches the end of his senior year, attempts by fawning and obsequiousness to win the good favor of certain members of the faculty, and thereby enhance his chances for a commencement appointment. Poor deluded youth, you cannot influence the faculty in that way. Express your opinions fully; you will gain respect. Preserve your manhood, and enjoy a healthy satisfaction.

The resignation by Prof. Spring of the chair of English Literature, again calls our attention to the fact that we
--in that over cautious policy which prohibits politics in chapel orations and frowns down religious discussion in college papers. We have in our University honey-comb Christians and infidels, theists and atheists, Democrats and Republicans, and—God forgive him—one follower of St. John, the traitor. All these cannot be in the right, but it is unwise to stile any of their opinions. Truth is revealed and not hidden by free discussion. The ideas of any one class of believers does not represent the University. In fact, the only ones who might attempt to make capital of students' published opinions would be the ones who will slander us anyway—the denominational schools. Let there be no muzzles in the State University.
The strike of the employees on the Missouri Pacific and Texas Pacific railroads is the largest known in the history of this country. About 5,000 men of the Knights of Labor have struck, and 5,000 men not strikers have been temporarily suspended by the railway company until they shall be able to again resume business. The business along the lines of railway is almost wholly suspended. Inland towns are suffering for want of coal, and many places will soon be without necessary provisions. The railway officials seem determined and the strikers say they are prepared for a long fight. What the end will be is still a matter of conjecture. The cause of the strike seems to be the refusal on the part of the receivers of the Texas Pacific railway to enter into an agreement with the Knights of Labor in regard to wages, dismissal, number of hours of work, etc. As the receivers of the railway are only agents of the United States court, they had no authority to enter into any compact with the Knights of Labor which could possibly hinder them in any manner in the economical administration of the affairs of the bankrupt corporation. Receiver Brown assured the laborers that the company had no intention of reducing the wages of the employees. And indeed, the wages have not been reduced since the compromise of last spring. The Knights of Labor have not demanded higher wages or shorter time. Their principal cause of complaint is the removal of one of their leaders, by the name of Hall, from the shops at Marshall. According to the statement of the Knights Hall had been absent by permission from the shops for three days attending a convention of the Knights of Labor, and on returning to the shops we found a letter on his desk announcing his dismissal. The Knights considered this a blow at their order, and struck. Receiver Brown states that Hall was absent without permission; that he was a poor employee, hence his dismissal. In either case it seems that the company would be justified in removing him. A man trying to run a large organization would certainly have so many things to look after beside his regular work that he, in all probability, would be a poor hand. The strike of the Knights of Labor seems to be almost, if not entirely, unjustifiable. It is to be hoped that the laborers will see their mistake, and return to their work. It is also to be hoped that the leaders of the strike will be permanently discharged from the employ of the company. If laborers want to strike, destroy property, retard business and cause untold suffering throughout the country, they should first have at least some shadow of an excuse to justify their action.
The February number of the Baldwin Index, in a somewhat lengthy article, makes a strong protest against the insinuations which appeared in some issue of the Kerr wing of the defunct Courier, concerning the ladies of that institution.
We wish it clearly understood that the consolidated Courier is not responsible for anything which may have appeared in the columns of the Courier under the old management. However, we regret very much that anything has appeared in any paper which would cast unfavorable reflections upon the characters of the young ladies at Baker.
This point made by the Index is well taken. The next point by which the Index tries to build up the reputation of the Baldwin students by tearing down the reputation of a party of University students who recently visited Baldwin, is not well taken. The Index says: "After supper the gentlemen (?) and ladies (?) asked to have the dining room cleared for the dance. Being politely refused they repaired to the parlor where they not only 'sang some college songs' but danced, yelled, screamed, jumped, blew out the lights, and raised pandemonium generally." We are authorized by the parties concerned to say that the statement that they yelled, screamed, jumped, blew out the lights, etc., is an unmitigated falsehood. It is true that the party sang college songs, and would have danced had not the smallness of the parlor prevented. It may be possible that some of the company inadvertently smiled; but that any company of K. S. U. students were so foolish as to waste their time in yelling, screaming and jumping, when much more enjoyable entertainment was at hand, is more than we can believe. It is contrary to the spirit of our institution.
SAINTS AND SINNERS
If the scheme announced by the faculty for selecting commencementators is honestly carried out, as I think it will be, it is a most happy device. Commencement day is the gala day of University life, and it ought to exhibit our best oratorial talent. Heretofore the plan has been to put the first scholars of the class forward. The "first scholars" generally mean the closest bookworms, and the book-worm as an orator isn't always a transcendent success. But this year each Senior is to submit an article, and though he be the poorest stick in '86's bundle of sticks, he is to be the orator if he has the best oration and is the best speaker. So as a result, we will have a commencement day that will inhuse the crowded chapel with the most brilliant eloquence the out-going class can afford. No pretense will be made that the representatives are the best scholars, but they will be exhibited as our first speakers. It will be a commencement day of which we may be proud. Such will be the result if the plan is as represented. If, however, it is but a ruse to limit the scope of student thought, to emasculate all bold or novel spirit, to permit only such commonplace matter as will give no offense, to curtail the range of subjects to such as "John Milton, (?)" or the "Introduction of Letters into Greece," then commencement day will be a dead failure. The students will not take kindly to such a fake. The whole hope of our University lies in the independent investigation and expression of its students, whether coincident with those of "the powers that be" or not. In short, the faculty will give us either the best or the poorest commencement day we have ever had in K. S. U. Nous verrons.

Right here I may say i don't agree
A girl—she will gad about town all the day,
Climb to Oreandra's crest and come back;
But to bail or to opera she never can go.
Except in a five dollar back.
Light novels she'll read from sun's rise to its set,
Dance'he dance the glare of the gas 'till lightday!
But she never can study--her doctor has said,
Such work is hurtful to sight.
To ice cream and oysters she's always at home.
To the ball, or play she doth go;
But free lectures is something she can't quite endure
For "such things look 'grayish', you know."
Your presents she takes, your attention are nice,
So long as the gold backs your life;
But when this slips away as it must in the end.
She's off as some other man's wife.
Curry says they have just as good and strong a fraternity as there is in the University, but they don't blow about it, because they have no newspaper organ. ...Ed Blair wants to know the law regarding accidents to buggies (or their springs) when out driving...Billiards at the "Academy" and bean-bags at the Y.M.C.A. Take your choice...Two Smiths on the Oread program. I object... Let us pray the regents may get an equally competent man for the English Literature chair, and not saddle a favorite cad on the University... Howard Smith says it is but two years since he left the University, and yet he hardly knows a soul up here now. ... Prof. Carruth is in his "father-land," or rather grandfatherland. Prof. Carruth is German from the soles of his shoes to the top of his hat, and made a great big mistake when he wasn't born in Germany... The Bakery faculty have decided not to permit the doughnuts to come to Lawrence any more. The boys will have to get their drinks in Ottawa... Three dances last Friday night. The young bloods have their coats in pawn again.
With the departure of Prof. Spring the University loses its finest scholar. Prof. Spring has not the magnetism of Prof. Canfield, the technical knowledge of Prof. Snow, the accuracy of Prof. Miller, or the executive ability of Prof. Williams. In a comprehensive knowledge of history, literature and art, however, he is preeminent in the faculty. As a polished and fluent writer he has no superior in the state. Prof. Spring has always been known as the "easiest man in the faculty." Never has a harsh word been heard in his class room. Students intent on learning have drunk with delight the rich and smooth-flowing expressions of his lectures. Those intent on skimming their way through the University have likewise found his classes a paradise, for he has not the heart to reprove, much less to mark a failure on examination. His forte lies in the line of higher educational work, where students are to be taught and not goverened. It is using the phrase in much more than its conventional sense to say "he will be sadly missed." Kansas should have offered every inducement to retain him. Two weeks ago I said that unless better salaries were paid our professors, other institutions would seek and obtain them. The prophecy is already fulfilled.
Business men of Lawrence are called upon to trust students very seldom. Fewer losses are experienced from those students who are credited than from any other class of men. It is a shame the merchant should lose anything at all, yet they do, and that mostly from fellows abundantly able to pay. I was looking over the ledger of a book store the other day and found nearly every college delinquent was the son of wealthy parents, who squandered money lavishly while here. I could name a half a dozen chaps who are now earning splendid salaries, yet never think of remitting for old unpaid wash bills. Wash bills and society dues are the two kinds of indebtedness which, accord-to college code, are outlawed by graduation. Then again couldn't I bring a tempest down upon my head by mentioning the debts of a certain society belle who reigned supreme as the prims donna of a secret society here; a society, too, which boasts of being the fashionable leader of our college world? But as I have not yet set up as a collection agency, I will keep mum.
**
Of the boys who have earned their way through the University—and they are many—not one challenges the admiration that does Prof. W. H. Carruth. From the days of bare-foot boyhood 'till the present hour, he has drudged earnestly, patiently, incessantly to thoroughly educate himself. He is now making his second tour of Germany in pursuit of higher knowledge. It is only a question of time, if the time is not now here, when we can point to him as the most finished scholar the University has produced. He has, as I happen to know, been offered commercial positions at a salary far in advance of what he is now paid, but has steadily refused to quit literary pursuits. In this day when only ignorant butchers, bakers and stock gamblers enjoy ease, happiness and a bank account, it seems a mistake to have brains. Prof. Carruth is one of the few who prefer an empty pocket to an empty skull.
The Bakery Index devotes three columns to a four line paragraph of mine; a splendid text but a devilish poor preacher. The Index lashes itself into a sweat over my squib about the fair doughnut of the Bakery who palmed herself off as a half-faer passenger—a fact and not a fancy as some readers may have imagined. I have nothing against the ladies of the Bakery – in fact, I think them far superior to the boys; at least I have never heard of any of them coming to Lawrence and getting on a drunk, or of stealing horses and getting in the penitentiary, as some of the male portion of the school have done. If some of our sinners went down to Baldwin and misbehaved themselves, as the Index asserts, give 'em fits! That is the way I would handle the doughnuts if they came up here and acted badly. Right here, for the benefit of the Index and others concerned, let me say a word in regard to my relation to the Courier. These columns have been given me by the editor-in-chief, with this carte blanche: "Say what you please and it will be printed." He has this merit, that he believes the matter will be more worthy if I say what I think even if he does not agree with me. I am proud to disagree with him on many subjects, and I presume he has the same vanity. I pretend to speak for no one but myself, but what I do say I mean shall be understood. Furthermore my opinions have not been changed in the least by Courier "consolidation," and I only wish to emphasize everything I have said about the Bakery or its doughnuts.

Contest oration by CYRUS CRANE.
[Dellivered at Topeka, March 12, 1886.]
SMITH.
Through oppression and tyranny through ignorance and vice, mankind is advancing to a condition where equality of right and privilege shall prevail.
Every wave that ruffles the ocean of time raises humanity on its crest and sinks m its trough the ambition of individuals
But this advancement is slow and gradual. Ignorance and vice have at all times rendered men weak, feeble and childlike in their natures; they have been subject to the powerful wills of strong men, who restrained their passions, guided their stumbling footsteps, and warded off the greedy cruelty of their fellow men. They have been preyed upon as well, by these strong men, who have used them as a means for their own elevation, who have retarded the progress and advancement of mankind, and over the prostrate form of human liberty have raised the selfish and ambitious standard of despotism.
Of such men was Ruenzi, the last of the ancient Romans; the last shoot that grew from the decayed trunk of that once mighty tree, which had sent out its roots to the soil of the furthest land and thrown in shade every city and nation throughout the known world. In his earliest youth he was touched when he perceived to what a depth his people had fallen. From the dazzling page of Rome's history he had read of the matchless eloquence of a Cicero, the mighty prowess of a Cesar; he had read how her sails had whitened every sea, how her arms had subjugated every land; but better than all, he had learned the noble and sterling virtues of her citizens. And now on every hand he perceived sloth and vice, woe and misery.
There are men who stand alone in their greatness, towering above their fellows like the pyramid which raises its lofty height above the sanded level of the desert. Again there are men great in their individual achievements who are but representatives of a class. In the darkest hours of the rebellion Abraham Lincoln was the one figure towards which the eye of the North was turned with anxious gaze, and nobly did he bear himself in that blood-red sea of care and trouble; yet Lincoln was but the ideal type of the brain and brawn which forms the front rank of the great army of humanity, whose camping ground is to-day on these wide and fertile prairies.
Not of these was Rienzi. Alone in the ruins of the eternal city he brooded over her departed glory. By the force of his eloquence he roused the drowsy population, and when the time was ripe and the word was given, he crystalized the rabble into an organized army; he put down the Barons, and on their ruins he reared his throne, styling himself Tribune of the people.
O Rienzi!
"How thou didst shake the slumbering soul of Rome
With the brave sound of freedom, till she rose
Burst by one mighty throe."
And from her giant limbs the shackles dropped.
Ay! this one man in three weeks raised a nation of slaves to a position of dignity. He caused the name of Tribune to be a terror to kings and princes. In three weeks this one man breathed the breath of life into a nation dead and decayed; he opened the choked arteries of her being, and through them commerce poured her vital streams. He silenced her enemies and made her name feared and respected. What wonder that the golden dreams of ambition filled his mind! What wonder that the shades of Caesar and Alexander sent wild visions through his dizzy brain! He had had tasted power, and like a wild beast that has tasted blood, his thirst was insatiable. But when he let the people feel the steeled grasp of his power, they rose in their might, swept on in their rage and overthrew their former idol. With his life he paid the penalty of his ambition. He died, and at his death Rome sank again into the mould of her decay; again her people donned the rags and tatters of vice and degradation, the shackles of servitude. Such was the career of Rienzi, an individual man, and in that career we see all the elements of the triumph of individuality over the masses. Like other individual men, he rose because the people were fettered in ignorance. Individual men though they sometimes indicate advances in the world of thought and progress are often great landmarks of barbarian
Alexanders grasping world-wide empire, and the people rearing thrones for them on their bended necks; of bard-sung knights with plumes and silken banners flashing in the sunlight, and the people battling in hovels, with fifth, pest and disease; of warrior chieftans plucking the laurels of victory from the men who died facing the raging ball of battle. Such has been the story; such the degradation of the masses and the elevation of the few, Aye! through all time men have bowed to the dust before the individual, and the dust has obscured their vision of the selfishness and hypocrisy of their idols.
The story is as old as time, of marble temples and gorgeous palaces built by the woes and lamentations of slaves, toiling to swell a despot's pride; of philosophers and sages pondering the heavens, and the people groping in the darkness of ignorance and barbarism; of Caesars and
But to-day there is a reaction. The masses of the people are awakening to the great truth that the world was not made for a few individuals; they are beginning to assert that the strength and power of every government rests with them. Do you ask for proofs? The proofs of the statement are on every hand. Toiling, suffering labor is everywhere organizing and preparing to demand its rights. If these demands are not met and satisfied, soon you will hear the challenging note of its bugle, the tramp of its marching legions, and be brought face to face with its bayonet and cannon. Socialism, Communism, Nihilism—these are but the extreme and dangerous outcrops of this universal spirit. Remove their causes, or some day they will raise in every land the standard of war and revolution.
But the world is giving need to more rightful demands. On every hand it is thought and toil and care for the welfare of the greatest number. For this science seeks out the veiled truths of nature. Philosophy struggles with the problems of social science, and learning offers her truths to the lowest and humblest. The thrones of monarchies are crumbling, and the nobility of toil is gaining world wide respect. Men are learning that they will rise above the bondage of despotism and tyranny, only as they burst the shackles fastened upon them by their own lusts and passions. They have learned a lesson from the peoples of England and America, who wrested their political rights from kings and.princes, from nobles and priests who trampled in the dust that ancient sophism of the divine right of kings, and over it have floated the banner of haman liberty, and who were enabled to accomplish this because their masses were intelligent and moral. For without intelligence to guide, and morality to establish right relations between men, the masses are incapable of government, and will ever fall prey to the ambitions of intellectual giants. Remove the despot and you do not throw off the despotism.
Slay the individual tyrant, but know this—that individuality will assert itself in every hand and under every sun: will fill every throne and grasp at every scepter. Stab a Julius Cesar, and from out the shadow of his tomb there steps an Augustus to size and tighten the reins of absolute sway. Wage a war against autocracy, strike off the head of every royalist, slay and kill until the sunny plains of France are crunched in blood, yet a Napoleon establishes an empire with the armies of a republic.
No! War and murder, powder and dyn amite, these are not the levers that raise the masses, but every school-house that spreads intelligence, every church that teaches morality, is a barrier against despotism, a check on the selfish ambitions of individual men. Political freedom is not a flower that blossoms instantaneously from the hot bed of revolution, but it develops to maturity by the careful nursing of a high-minded people.
Rulers and leaders there must always be; but is it the right—may, the duty of the people to see to it that their leaders are men, who have the welfare of humanity at heart and are not prompted by grasping ambition.
So, if the masses would rise above the dominance of an individual few, they must first throw off the bondage of their passions and cultivate their virtues.
There is to day, as there ever has been in the past, a constant friction between the weak and the strong, between powerful individuals and the masses. Often men rise above the masses, and no sooner have they attained power than they block the way against their own class. Forgetting the circumstances which have enabled them to rise, they boldly assert their superiority, their right to rule and govern the world. The strong few have ever gloried in their strength. They have grasped every opportunity and have used every possible art and artice to hold the many in subjection, and to sieve for themselves the fruits and sweets of earth. Against them the common herd has arrayed itself, and these average men must win, for with them is the right. But think not that the victory will be an easy one. For talent and genius are the grandest gifts of a great Creator. They give even to selfish tyrants the courage and
aggressiveness of their mighty intellects,
They have nerved many a Mucobeth to cry,
"Blow, wind! Come, Wrack!
Abridge will gib a tooth in your neck!"
Against the Cassars and Napoleons, against the Rienzis and Macbeths, the rank and file must stand shoulder to shoulder elbow to elbow, for ordinary justice to the average man. I believe in the divine right of genius, but I believe also in the divine right of the average man to say, I too.

Oread Society.
Oread Society met yesterday afternoon and listened to an excellent literary program, as follows: Declamation, Frank Crowell; essay, Evelyn Smith; reading, Laura Lyons, declamation, Josie Cook; declamation, Sadie Emery; essay, L. A. Stebbins. All the performers did excellently. After recess there was an interesting debate on the question—Resolved, That all the Charitable Institutions should be supported by the State. Affirmative, S. T. Gilmore, W. S. Jenks; negative, A. C. Markley, W. M. Thacher. The judges gave the verdict to the negative.
It being the regular day for the election of the June contest program, the following persons were elected to represent Oread: Orator, Harry Smith; debater, Denton Dunn; declaimer, Miss Josie Cook; essayist, Miss Ella Ropes; president of the evening, Miss Evelyn Smith. Mr. Smith is a fine orator and able writer. He is editor-in-chief of the Courier. Mr. Dunn is also a first-class speaker and a writer of talent and experience. He is business manager of the Courier. Miss Josie Cook already has the reputation of being one of the finest declaimers in the University. Miss Ropes is a well known and able writer and will do the society honor. Miss Smith will certainly preside with dignity and grace. The whole election passed off very quietly, only thirty-four votes being polled, though more members were present. All were elected without opposition except the essayist. The society is in a flourishing condition and has no equal in work done the past month. —Herald-Tribune.

What the Courier Would Like to Know.
If the K. S. U. boys and girls won't loom at Topeka.
If the Freshman class of '70 isn't a daisy.
What the Pharmacy boys do their vacant hour.

Why everything is so quiet now.

What character you will represent at the I. C. party.
Why so many boys take girls to the "dark lectures."

War Against Students.
When I was a youngster, says a writer, I witnessed a war of hats. It originated at Harvard. Certain under-graduates who wished to distinguish themselves, took to wearing what is common at Universities abroad, the mortar-board or head gear which consists of a skull cap surmounted by a black square of the same material. These were sported not in the precincts of Harvard College only, but conspicuously in the streets of Boston. The truckmen and carmen of the city choose to regard the hats as a pretentious symbol of aristocracy, and many of the protesting drivers consequently done in ridicule vast caricatures of the scholars. Hats sometimes decorated with cabbage leaves, onions and other ostentatious ornaments. Hence, when the Harvard lads came in contact with those who wore their absurd copies fierce fights ensued, and were continued until the faculty and the police had to combine to bring them to an end. But such is not the case here, as all students wearing one of Abe Levy's stylish hats are regarded as gentlemen and are not molested. Abe always carries a large and complete line of the latest styles. Call and see him.
An elegant line of new hats just received at Bromeliad's, the hatter.
A greater use of new mats has received at Bromelsick's, the hatter. Students, attention is called to Dr. Barrows' advertisement in this issue. Dr. Barrows is an experienced physician, and all in need of medical services would do well to call upon him.

The result of the state oratorical contest in the selection of Cyrus Crane, of the State University, as the representative of Kansas at the inter-state meeting at Lawrence in May, is universally commended. Mr. Crane is a representative student of a representative college of Kansas and the states embraced in the inter-state contest. He is a thorough collegian, a young man of fine ability as a thinker, with progressive ideas and especial oratorical graces and power. Kansas may well fell proud to rest her honors in the coming event in the person of her representative young son.—Topeka Journal.
The following is the Emporia News' version of the oratorical contest:
At the State oratorical contest held in Topeka last evening, the first place was given to the contestant from the State University, the second place to Baldwin's man, the third was given to Washburn's orator, the fourth to the lady from Ottawa, the fifth was captured by the State Normal, and the sixth place was occupied by the Presbyterian college. Report has it that the judges played a game of draw poker to decide the contest, and if so, the man who was playing for Emporia held a bob tailed flush. In regard to the statement we made last evening regarding Emporia's contestants winning the first prize, we will simply state it was one of those little errors which will creap into newspaper work in spite of all one may do to prevent it.
The first number of Illustrated Southern Kansas, published by E. F. Caldwell, has reached our table. This is, as the title page announces, an industrial publication, devoted to the history and development of the towns and counties of Kansas. It is illustrated by numerous engravings, and contains a concise and interesting history of Harper and Barber counties. This is by far the most elaborate work which Mr. Caldwell has undertaken, and is a complete success. The ready pen and elastic imagination secured by the editor in college journalism are well adapted to this kind of work.
Prof. Canfield has received letters from the president of the National Teachers' Association, which will meet in Topeka the coming summer, as regarding the railroad rates that have been secured. The following are the rates: Boston to Topeka and return,$41; New York to Topeka and return,$39; Chicago to Topeka and return,$14; St. Louis to Topeka and return,$9. All roads in Kansas will give half rates, while excursions will be run to Denver at very low rates, less than half, but just what has not yet been determined. Excursions will be run from Denver to various points, in Colorado and the adjoining territories.

The Pharmacy Examining Board met in this city March 16th, 1886. The board is composed of some of the ablest druggists in the state, and they are men, who without exception, believe in elevating their chosen profession. Mr. W. C. McPike of Atchison, is the proprietor of the largest wholesale drug house west of Chicago. Mr. Brown of Leavenworth, is proprietor of the chemical works at that place and is known all over Kansas. The other members of the board are men of high standing in their profession.
At a meeting of the board of regents of the University last week, an appropriation of $700 was made to finish the basement of the chemical building for the use of the department of pharmacy. It is estimated that $500 additional will be required to finish and properly equip the rooms, but it is thought the board of pharmacy will give this. An examination in Greek and Roman history was added to the requirements for admission to the Freshman class. An attachment to the large lantern used in illustrating subjects before the classes in natural philosophy, was ordered at a cost of $50.

We congratulate the Washburn students on their success in making the contest a pleasant occasion. Mr. Ingalls, president of the association, is worthy of special regards for his efforts in this direction. The first time the Washburn boys come to Lawrence we propose to confer on them the freedom of the city.
Another contest has come and gone, and as victor the University indulges a pardonable pride. One year ago we felt that a great mistake was made and that the University received little justice in the decision rendered. We are now ready to forget the mistakes of a year ago, confident that we have "redeemed a fallen reputation, and shed luster on a dimmed escutcheon."

Our circulation is rapidly increasing since the consolidation took place. Our circulation is now one thousand one hundred and ninety-nine (1199), divided as follows: University students, 475; foreign subscribers, 199; exchanges, 125; city subscribers, 300; state papers, 100; total, 1,199.
We hope by next week to get our circulation up to 1,200, when we will again host our motto—"The largest college journal circulation in the United States." Hillsdale Herald please take notice.
---
We notice from a number of the exchanges that a some of the intercollegiate contests have been held within the last few weeks. Even some of the local contests are only just being held. It seems to us that this is rather late. It does not give the successful contestant sufficient time to prepare a new production or rewrite his old one for the inter-state, and certainly does not give him an equal chance with those who have had six or seven months in which to prepare for the final conflict. —Collegian.
Right you are for once Mr. Collegian. A month does not begin to be long enough time for a student to prepare an oration for a state or interstate contest. The experience of Illinois in the inter-state contest plainly proves the advantage to be gained by giving the contestants a long time to drill and prepare. Illinois always ranks with the upper three in the contest, and it is undoubtedly due to the fact that she gives her
orators ample time to prepare. We hope to see the time when Kansas will follow her example. The college contest should be held in the spring, and the state contest early the next fall. Wake up, you college journals of Kansas! and boom this idea.
The Western Zephyr, published anonymously by the students of the Missouri State University, is the most villainous sheet that has yet reached our table. It is made up of poor wit and low-lived abuse of the President and faculty. However, if the charges made against the faculty are at all true we do not blame the boys for speaking their opinions freely, but when they indulge in such extravagant and underhanded abuse as is found in the columns of the Zephyr, they secure no sympathy and show themselves unworthy of confidence in the matter of self government.
But there are always two sides to every question. It is quite evident that the faculty would not be assailed unless they were in some measure vulnerable. No president of an institution could be wholly in the right and be so freely and so generally condemned by the students. The principal trouble seems to be in the overbearing disposition of the president and two or three members of the faculty. It will be remembered that several years ago a very creditable monthly paper was published by the students of the Missouri University. On the appearance of the playful remark that Dr. Laws went east when P. T. Barnum came west, in order to maintain the equilibrium of the earth, the paper was promptly suppressed by the indignant president. Since then the University has been without a paper, and the students are only heard from when they break forth with such a screed as the Western Zephyr.
The policy of the president seems too narrow for the students and the students seem to be too intractable for the president. We would suggest, if they cannot settle their difficulties in any other manner, that either the president or the students resign. However, we incline to the opinion that all parties might take an excursion to the neighboring University on the west and be greatly benefited by their observations. They would see students enjoying the fullest degree of liberty, working in harmony with president and faculty. When an institution of learning is governed as it should be, all its interests become as dear to the students as to those who are in authority over it.
There are a great many advantages derived from inter-collegiate contests besides those directly pertaining to oratory. The cultivation of a college spirit is one of these advantages. Who is there among the students who attended the contest one week ago who does not feel a deeper interest in the University? Another benefit is the union of various factions into more fraternal relations. Nothing is so productive of friendship among students as the turning of all desires in one direction. Old hostilities are forgotten, and the most bitter rivals join hands in harmony. But among all these advantages none are greater than the knowledge received of other institutions. There is a great tendency to narrowness in the student world. One is apt to vainly imagine that learning and culture is possessed by his own college. In meeting in friendly contest with the students of other institutions, such erroneous notions are dispelled. The students of each college see that theirs is but one of a great number of factors in our educational system; that none of these is superior to the others in every respect; that each has its
own peculiar place to fill, and that between them all should exist the greatest harmony.
Incidents and Accidents at the State Oratentorial Contest.
--hath crept into K. S. U., and the place-hunter has been relegated to the shelf.
Last Friday was a gala day for the students who went to Topeka. They all seemed bound to have a good time, and were confident of victory, or at least they thought our man would give the other contestants a hard rub. Shortly before train time a merry crowd might have been seen at the Santa Fe depot, about a hundred and twenty-five students and many of their friends from the city. Of course everybody had on his or her best array, and here and there was a lower classman sporting a plug hat and cane and having a somewhat idiotic though entirely harmless appearance. I was glad that none of the upper classmen interfered with these misguided individuals, as their head gear only betrayed their youth and freshness, which very things they were endeavouring to conceal. They formed a burlesque on full-grown men which was quite amusing.
Army have complained that there was no college spirit among our students, none of that esprit de corps which is the charm of student life, but I noticed every man was proud to wear the K. S. U. colors last Friday and shout his loudest for his Alma Mater. Yes, the spirit is there, but the trouble is we don't have occasions enough to bring it out. Whenever opportunity offers however, our students have never failed to drop all factional and personal feelings and join in the sentiment that they were students of K. S. U. I could wish that we had more inter-collegiate contests, both intellectual and athletic, to awaken the dormant patriotism and college spirit among the students, at the same time aiding them in both mental and physical development.
Baker had a good many students at Topeka, and there were a few from Emporia and Ottawa, while the Washburnites were, of course, very numerous. In this assemblage of Kansas students the K. S. U. boys and girls too, showed up well, and stood in most favorable comparison with the representatives of the other schools of the state.
Our students on the whole, I think, left a good reputation in Topeka, as they all conducted themselves in a proper manner while there, and inleed, I heard many compliments to them from strangers. If there was any misbehavior from the Lawrence crowd, I am positive it was not among the students, but from some of the boys from the city. The Lawrence delegation was very straight however, for there was much noise but no rowdyism among them.
Though this is the second victory at a state contest for K. S. U., yet it is the first clean cut victory we have had. True, Leach won at Baldwin the first year at the second contest, but Mays beat him the first time, and probably could have done it with an original as well as a patched up oration, if he had had it. Rut this time we have got the first place without a doubt, and the beauty of it, that it is universally conceded to us by all parties. The award of the first prize to Crane gave about as general satisfaction as any I every knew. This is quite remarkable, as the usual way is for the friends of every contestant to assert that he did the best, and claim first honors. About the second position however, there was some difference of opinion, many think Miss Hoaglin deserved it; but I believe the judges were right in giving it to Randall, for his thought was much better, though his delivery was not so exquisite.
SAINTS AND SINNERS.
Last Friday was the happiest day the University ever experienced, and the happiness was so abundant that it spilled over and filled up Saturday's measure till about six o'clock. Rumo has it that the skeleton walked out of Prof. Snow's cabinet and danced a jig, while Prof. Dyche caught his bears hugging on the sly. For the first time in the history of our institution, the boys and girls forgot they didn't belong to the same fraternity. When the crowd of one hundred piles into the train for Topeka they were happy; when they got back they were delirious. There is no use talking, Crane was responsible for the whole business. If any student cracked his throat or burst his lungs Crane can be legally held for damages. Those who have known Crane from his first day in K. S. U. can most relish his superb victory. He started here at the bottom of the ladder in the riff-raff of Junior predepot but prominent from the beginning. He had no wealth to back him, no influence to prop him, no social prestige to give him a boost. If he has friends and influence now, he has earned them, just as he has earned the abilities he displayed Friday night What is perhaps better, he has always kept a cool head and shown no tendency to egotism. If he can stand his present popularity with due soberness; can take with self composed equanimity the adulation showered upon him by admiring friends; can regard his victory in its true light, at a temporary honor which should in cite to greater efforts, he will be sure to succeed in the practical contest o life.
How the most carefully edited journals will fall into errors in their anxiety to get late crisp items, is illustrated by the recent issue of that newsy little magazine, the University Review. Therein I find the following personal: "H. E. Jones, member of the legislature from Garnett, his return home from the capital took in K. S. U." Now in the first place, H. E. Jones, the member from Garnett, did not take in K. S. U. Second, H. E. Jones, member of the legislature, is not from Garnett. Third, H. E. Jones is not a member of the legislature. Fourth, there is no such person as H. E. Jones. With the exceptions of these slight inaccuracies, the item is true in every particular, and I can swear to it. A few weeks ago the personal editor of the Courier, after cudgeling his brain for every item he could recall, found he lacked a little of filling the space allotted him. So in sheer desperation he manufactured out of whole cloth the personal about "H. E. Jones." That the Review man happened to be in the same strait, and fell on the name and incident two weeks later, shows how great minds run in the same channel. Ahem!

College politicians tell me that this is the quietest and most uninteresting year the University has ever witnessed. I take this as an especially good sign, for the less the college politician finds to do, the better off is the college. The regular two weeks hot spring campaign in Oread was reduced to an easy-going election, in which the orator, for the first time in the society's history, went in by a unanimous vote. The slate which used to form such a prominent feature in the Orophilian hall has been smashed to ginflinters by a rule selecting orators by contest. Even the faculty, whom, it used to be whispered, were wont to have warm words over favorite candidates for honors, have decreed that commencement orators will be selected on their respective merits. Truly, civil service
Apropos of my doggerel in last week's Courier, one young lady assures me that the girls feel as bad as their company when bad weather necessitates a hack. She says they fully appreciate the kind attentions of the University boys in taking them to balls and operas, and know that the extra money spent on hacks is an expense the ordinary collegian can ill afford. It will be some consolation to the fellow who lies awake night after night speculating on the weather, to know that his girl shares his anxiety, weeps with every cloud and beams with the every glow of the sun. Such sympathy is a wonderful relief to the hack stricken youth.
**
One of those blood-curdling yet bloodless accidents which no one can foresee, and which will come to the most righteous of men, occurred last Monday night—or to be more accurate, early Tuesday morning. At a certain house in Lawrence two young gentlemen occupy a room adjoining that of a couple of young ladies. Each of the rooms has a window overlooking a slanting roof. On the night in question the boys, awakened by the peals of the fire bell, hastily bounced from bed and noiselessly climbed out on the roof to take observations. Hardly had they gotten out when they were appalled by the fall of the window, which fastened by a spring latch. Here was "a pretty howdy-do"—not so pretty either, for the boys had come out in their scanty night attire, which can better be imagined than described. At any rate, it was by no means elaborate, and not built with a view to any such contingency as this. The alternative offered of chilling to death or something else slightly worse than death. The boys chose the latter, and attempted to awaken the family, but holy Moses and the angels! the girls were the first aroused. They took one peep—a squeal, laughter, and hastily pulled down their curtain again. From behind this screen conditions were agreed to for the release of the boys from their very embarrassing and compromising position. The girls retired down stairs while their room offered a safe retreat to the boys. Yet all was not over by a long sight. On reaching the hall the boys found their room locked within. Nothing was left but for the girls to awaken the family and explain the astounding condition of affairs in which all found themselves. The door was forced, and the boys, half dead, half alive, once again sought the friendly refuge of their nocturnal sheets. They both swear that the next time the fire bell rings they will take time to don pants and other civilized accountments, even if it be their own house which is burning over their heads, and they are cremated in the attempt.
SMITH.
The University girls who came up in a body from Lawrence yesterday to attend the oratorical contest, evidently had a very enjoyable time during the day and evening. They demonstrated an ability to look after themselves with excellent success and managed their various visus about the capitol city and to and from the opera house and depot with a decorum, zeal and smoothness that must have made a gentleman chaperon wonder whither his occupation was tending. — Topeka Journal.

some Relics of Barbarism.
Among what may be justly and rightfully called relies of barbarism, I know of none to which the term could be applied with more peculiar appropriateness than some of the principles which constitute the economy of the University of Kansas. Among these the palm of absurdity and general fitness to be embodied in the executive code of the institution just north of us, is that obsolete and fossilscent system of examinations. In and of itself this system would not present features so objectionable, or phases so open to criticism, were it not for the direct and indirect consequences which it entails. I am discussing this question, let it be understood, only as it plays a part in the economy of University life, and as it constitutes one of the absolute or obsolescent systems of managing institutions conducted on liberal and advanced principles of thought. For the tender years of childhood schooldays, it may, for the sake of argument, be admitted that it is sufficient. But the whole system is flagrantly at variance with the principles which should govern the education of the last years of school life. I have little sympathy with the timid conservatism which says that old fogy ideas should not be abandoned until our proud pretensions of being a University indeed are fully realized. I believe that this policy is inconsistent with Kansasistic progressiveness. While I do not favor any pretentious boasting of what it would be impossible to carry to success, I am heartily in favor, on the other hand, of bending every energy toward the realization of the ideal for which we should strive. I believe that the way to develop our institution into the ideal University, is to embody in its management the principles by which the ideal University should be governed. The process is one of evolution, and evolution must self-evidently be attended or hung upon involution. You cannot take out what you don't put in. This is Joseph Cook or Evolution, but it applies as vitally to the case in point. For one I fail to see either the logic or the common sense of the policy which says we are but a University in name, and should therefore adopt nothing which enters into the economy of the ideal University. The single evil of the inevitable tendency to necessitate "cramming" is enough to condemn the whole policy. A system must not be judged alone by its wisdom in theory, but its tendency in practice. It is one of the prevalent sophisms of the age that whatever is perfect in theory must be infallible in practice. It is not so. And thus, while a theory unobnoxious in its conception may lead to evils when carried into practice, these same evils necessarily condemn the theory of which the theory may be perfectly innocent, per se. The tendency to cause "cramming," aside from its intrinsic harmfulness, is a pregnant cause of injustice. Not that it fosters a tendency to favoritism, but as was very pertinently elaborated in the exhaustive expose of the evils of the system to which I have before referred, those who make special and spasmodic preparation for examination have an immense and unfair advantage, for the time being, over those who do not. And the peculiar perniciousness of the matter lies in the fact that on the records these grades far outweigh the others. But by a reaction, those who do not "cram" are better off in the long run. Yet as long as human desire gravitates toward hen-roosts, so long will it prompt students to sacrifice their highest good to obtain the golden—or rather gilded—egg of brilliant grades. And so long will this system
stand as a reproach to enlightened education.
There is another matter which possesses claims upon the appellation of a relic of barbarism which rivals those of the system of examinations, and that is the existence in the University of a clannish aristocracy. Of allisms the most detestable is that of cliqueism. True as it is that sterling worth ever lies in the golden mean, and trite as is the truism that all is not gold that glitters, it is often disheartening to honest worth, even when soothed and sustained by the consciousness that it is true metal and will stand the test in the crucible of experience—it is often dishartening, I say, to be compelled to plod on and up the rugged hill of college life unheeded and alone, and to see the prize of the admiration of its fellow students snatched from it by more showy and attractive individuals. There is a class of these vapid, butterfly aristocrats, brainless and vain as peacocks, whose chief characteristic is a certain glibness which sugarcoats every bitter pill of difficulty which sterling mediocrity is compelled to take without even a drink of water. These, drawn together by the "fellowship of kindred minds," form our vapid, cliquish aristocracy. I have called this spirit a relic of barbarism because it is a last flickering remnant of the aristocracy which it is the mission of the democracy of equality to supersede.
The last reliic of barbarism of which I wish to speak, is that meanest of impositions - the compelling of one man to do two men's work for a boy's wages. As a consequence it follows in the very nature of things that both must be neglected. I refer to Prof. Brownell. Ever since he came here he has been overworked and has been compelled to yield temporarily to the strain placed upon him. The department of elocation alone, desultory and fragmentary as it is, consumes twice the time that another member of the faculty is actively engaged in performing the duties pertaining to his department. Besides this, it is intrinsically the most arduous and exacting of all the departments, exerting a physical strain more severe than is put upon any other professor, and in times of unusual pressure the burden becomes almost unendurable. But not only is Prof. Brownell required to perform all the duties and more pertaining to the department of elocation, but he must take charge of a class in English. Such imposition is a disgrace to our western progressiveness, and is more of a piece with the German conception of paupe pedagogues. U. Z. N.

Capital on Contest.
Capital on Contest. We clip the following items from the Capital of March 13th:
Yesterday it seemed as though the city was turned over to the students, at least such parts as the hotel offices, state house library and other public places. They began to arrive on the moon train on the Santa Fe, and by evening, several hundred, including the students at Washburn, were in the city. The boys of the University came up in force, their delegation numbering over 145. Many of them wore plug hats and carried canes, and as they came marching up Fifth street, in a body, the scene was very suggestive to many of college days gone by.
The delegation from Baldwin City was also strong, consisting of fifty-eight. The other colleges represented—Emporia College-, the State Normal school at Emporia, and Ottawa University--have each sent delegations to encourage their favorite orators, but as the last named institutions are some distance from Topeka, the number in attendance is necessarily smaller than from the State University and Baldwin.
W. Y. Morgan, city editor of the Lawrence Herald-Tribune, was in the city yesterday to attend the oratorical contest The local department of the Herald-Tribune, since Mr. Morgan took charge, several months ago, has been exceptionally bright and newsy.
A. H. HORTON.
The following table shows the grades of the orators as marked by the three judges.
Ewing Herbert, the gentleman who represented the college of Emporia in the oratorical contest last night, is city editor of the Emporia Evening News. Besides attending college regularly, he has performed the duties of news gatherer, and the popularity of the News in Emporia is due largely to its excellent local department.

The constitution provides, that the man who is marked highest by the greatest number of judges, shall be declared the victor; in other words, the man the aggregate sum of whose markings is least. According to this, Cyrus Crane and R. M. Randall, Jr., were ties. The constitution further provides, that in the case of a tie in the manner described, the highest general average shall be taken into account. Adding the averages of each judge, and dividing by three, we have the following final result: Crane, $93\frac{2}{3}$; Randall, $92\frac{3}{4}$; Greenles, $88\frac{3}{4}$; Miss Boomer, $87\frac{1}{4}$; Miss Hoaglin, $85\frac{3}{4}$; Herbert, $84\frac{1}{4}$.
The key-note to the prize oration delivered by Mr. Cyrus W. Crane, of the Kansas University, was its adaptation to the affairs of the day. Judge Tourgee, in his recent lecture here, made a great point on the importance of a title of any kind to a literary production. In no man's history has this proven more true than in his own. The book that made him famous was entitled, "A Fool's Errand," by one of the fools. But the lecture he delivered here was called
"A Story-Teller's Story," and none knew what it meant. His audience would have been twice as large if people had known that he was going to deliver a literary lecture on how to construct a popular and enduring novel. The recent oratorical contest here not only illustrated the importance of this point, but also the paramount importance of choosing a good tungible topic. The two prize orations had the best groundwork to build on—"individual Men and the Masses," and "Martin Luther." A cology of a great character is always a subjet that an orator can wax eloquent upon anything can inspire him. Mr. Randall, of Baker, treated his subject in a comprehensive manner, which no doubt went far towards securing to him the second prize. But Mr. Crane's topic was original as well as strong, and justly should have weighed much in his favor.
It is hard for a sympathetic audience to remember that all these points and many others have been considered by the judges before the orations are delivered. If the orations depended upon the deliver, Miss Honglin was without doubt entitled to the second prize. It is safe to say that a popular vote by the audience would have given Miss Honglin the second prize almost unanimously. — Topela Capital.
NOTES.
War Against Students.
When I was a youngster, says a writer, I witnessed a war of hats. It originated at Harvard. Certain under-graduates who wished to distinguish themselves, took to wearing what is common at Universities abroad, the mortar-board or head gear which consists of a skull cap surmounted by a black square of the same material. These were sported not in the precincts of Harvard College only, but conspicuously in the streets of Boston. The truckmen and carmens of the city choose to regard the hats as a pretentious symbol of aristocracy, and many of the protesting drivers consequently doned in ridicule vast caricatures of the scholars. Hats sometimes decorated with cabbage leaves, onions and other ostentatious ornaments. Hence, when the Harvard lads came in contact with those who wore their absurd copies fierce fights ensued, and were continued until the faculty and the police had to combine to bring them to an end. But such is not the case here, as all students wearing one of Abe Levy's stylish hats are regarded as gentlemen and are not molested. Abe always carries a large and complete line of the latest styles. Call and see him.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 26, 1886.
LOCAL.
The zoology class will begin labor ory work before many days.
The Pharmacy department had an examination Monday.
The Kats have not yet brought out its sol-rosa members.
Oreda needs another election to get a little life into its meetings.
The gentleman who was suspended week has been reinstated.
Base ball occupies the minds of the players every favorable afternoon.
The students seem to hold the sense of power in the Unity club.
The Freshman chemistry class has increased to seventy-seven members. Work has been commenced on Show Hall again, but in rather a small way.
Sophomore English Literature class is reviewing. One hundred pages are being taken daily.
The Washburns say that our foot all team backed out. It looks as if it was about time.
Miss Thatcher's German class has began to review, preparatory to the coming examination.
Why don't the street car company have a car at the foot of the hill at the end of the fourth hour?
From the number of parties, dances,
etc., coming off, it don't seem as if
ent troubled the students very much.
We have not yet seen the boys occupy their vacant hours playing marbles. What's the matter with the sub-Freshmen?
The botany class went into the laboratory Monday, and hereafter the gay botanist will spend his vacant hours gathering flowers.
The Pharmacy laboratory is almost completed. The work of that department will be greatly facilitated by the immense room.
The Phi Gams, the Phi Psis, the Phi Delts, and the Betas all give parties to night. Who says there is no social life in K. S. U.?
An elegantly carved dragon for the portal of the Natural History building has been received. It is the finest piece of carving ever seen in the city.
The visitors record book ought to be kept in better style. Not two-thirds of the visitors ever see the book. What is the use of trying to keep a record if it is kept in this manner.
On Thursday Prof. Miller received from Topeka twenty-five volumes for the library, among them were the following: Sixteen volumes of the Atlantic Monthly, six volumes of Old and New; two volumes of the Galaxy, and one volume of the Magazine of American History. These books are elegantly bound and are a valuable addition to the library. Our library is fast becoming one of the best in the state.
If there is n word of truth in the above, which is doubtful, we are glad to hear that it cannot refer to any of the visitors from K. S. U. Some of our boys may have become a little noisy, yet we know that our ladies could not have behaved any better, for their conduct was perfect. We do not know to what college the article refers, and think the writer must have put it in more to fill space than as a matter of fact.
How the I. C.'s did loom up Monday morning,
The oratorical contest will be held at Ottawa next year.
Another dividend will be declared on Oratorical Association stock before long.
Don't forget the Y, M. C. A. meeting this evening; at the rooms of the city association. All young men are welcome.
A gay party expect to go bug and plant hunting this afternoon.
A party of gentlemen were looking over the Natural History building Wednesday.
Sub-Freshman French had an examination Wednesday.
Prof. Rudolph: "Mr. Schrader, can you tell us? You look very wise." Mr. S.: "That's once my looks deceive me."
Who is responsible for the neglect of the rent in the matting of the south hall. It should be attended to.
The Chancellor visited the high schools of Atchison and Valley Falls last week.
The botany class are compelled to deposit fifty cents for their keys, this year, instead of twenty-five as heretofore. This has been made necessary by the negligence of some former students to return their keys at the end of this year.
The appearance of some of the college boys who came here to attend the oratorial contest, last Friday, was not very complimentary to their institutions—but then college boys will be boys, you know. A number of them speedily solved the mystery of how to prohibit prohibition from prohibiting, and made spectacles of themselves upon the streets. I hear, also, that a party of the students, male and female, was threatened with forecible ejectment from one of the hotels, because they insisted upon trying to raise the roof with noise after the exercises at the opera house were over and the hotel folks had retired for the night.—Topeka Lawe.
The COUCHER advertisises only the best operas that come here; therefore you can depend upon it, that when we say an attraction is really good, we mean it, and we do emphatically say that the Boston Ideals are the finest attraction that Lawrence ever will have enjoyed.
Speaking of "Fra Diavolo," the Chicago Tribune has the following to say:
The cast of "Fra Diavolo" contained the following: Miss de Lussan as Zerlina, Miss Huntington as Lady Allcash, Mr. Barnabee as Lord Allcash, Mr. Karl as Fra Diavolo, Mr. Morsell as Lorenzo, with Clarke and Frothingham as the two brigands. Clarke made a splendid effect with his interpolated song in the last act. The principal interest of the performance centered in the work of the three principals—Karl, Barnabee and Miss de Lussan. Barnabee is well known and deservedly famous in this role. Karl is about as satisfactory a Fra Diavolo as could be asked. If compared with the high-spirited little De Falco who played it lately in the Mapleson company, Karl's true rank will immediately appear. Another good point in his interpretation is the clear enunciation of the text. Miss De Lussan's Zerlina is a charming impersonation. These people sing artistically, but their stronghold of popularity is the goodness of their individual tones.
Last Friday evening the leasing event in society circles this year, took place at the A. O. U. W. hall. The occasion being the "character party" given by the young ladies of the I. C. Sorosis. Handsome invitations had been issued three weeks before, and every one of the favored was promptly on hand. By eight o'clock the hall and parlor was filled with a gay throng of youth and beauty costumed to represent characters of every known race, clime, country and description. At eight o'clock the grand march began, and in the march every celebrated character in history or fiction seemed to be represented. (quadrills, polkas and waltzes followed to the inspiring music of the First Regiment Band.
I. C. Party.
During the evening elegant refreshments were served and the wants of the inner man were attended to as fully as those of the outer. Several professors and their wives were present to enjoy the beauty of the scene and congratulate the I. C.'s on their success.
The reception throughout was elegant, stylish and enjoyable. The evening will always linger as a pleasant memory with those present.
Nothing which could add to pleasure was neglected, and the whole affair was admirably arranged and managed by the young ladies. The L.C. character party will be the great social event of the year, which others may hope to equal, but none surpass.
Those present were; Misses Clara Coffin, as Diana Vernon; Maud Mansfield, Goddess of Reason; Mary Gilmore, Miss Ophelia in Uncle Tom's Cabin; Joe Gilmore, Elizabeth Fry; Emma White, Lucile as a nun; Minnie Collins, Joan of Arc; Allice Penfield, Undine; Lena Beard, Preciosa; Daisy Cockins, Hilda in Marble Faun; Carl Cockins, Queen Elizabeth; Bella Love, Priscilla; Jennie Walker, Ophilia; Bay Shultz, Ruth, in Uncle Tom's Cabin; Pearl Young, Lalla Rookh, Nettie Hubbard, Maria Theresa; Helen Sutliff, Ramona; Gertrude Crotty, Martina Washington; Clara Pochler, Lady Rarena; Emma Blackington, Dolly Varden; Miss Kinnear, Amora; Laura Lyons, Lady Clare, and Alida Griffith, Sue Miles, Nellie Gunn and Hattie McFarland, and Messrs. Harry Smith as French Buccancer; Lute Lewis, Earl of Essex; C. E. Hall, Village Blacksmith; Chas. Lyons, Rob Roy; A. L. Swope, Monk; Henri Nickel, Knight; R. J. Curdy, Duke of Buckingham; W. A.

The Kappa chapter of the I. C. Sorosis was founded at K. S. U. in 1872, and is the oldest lady fraternity in the University. Its charter members were Misses Hannah Oliver, May Richardson, Lizzie Yeagley, Flora Richardson, Gertrude Boughton, Alma Richardson and Vina Lambert. It took a high social standing at the very start and it has never fallen backward in this particular. For a time it existed without a rival, but even when rivals came Kappa chapter prospered just the same. Its members comprise the smartest, brightest, prettiest girls in school. We can only join its many friends in wishing it long prosperity and happiness.

Last Friday morning Prof. James H. Canfield, in/befalf of the graduates of the Normal department, presented Dr. Williams with a life certificate in the National Teachers' Association. Dr. Williams was taken wholly by surprise, but expressed his thanks in a neat speech. The Doctor is one of the most popular and well known teachers in the state. He is at present president of the State Teachers' Association.
It should not be forgotten that physical development is a very important factor in determining one's success in life. Thousands of young men start in life with brilliant prospects, but before they have reached middle life their strength is broken down and they are compelled to halt with life half lived. A collegiate education is of little value to one who is unable to use it. More than this, the relation between one's mind and body is so intimate that neither can be fully developed without the development of the other. If one wishes to acquire a strong, hopeful mind, he must exercise. Cramp the body and you cramp the mind. Half the cynicism and pessimism of the world can be traced to a dried up, antiquated body; creeds and dogmas are but the outward manifestations of a disordered liver. This is no patent medicine advertisement; we only wish to call attention to the fact that the students should take more exercise. We have no gymnasium or
Arbor day should be generally observed by all the public schools and colleges in the state. If there is any one part which more than all others relating to material welfare should be kept constantly before the people of the state, it is the great necessity of forestry culture. Professor Canfield has a most excellent lecture on that subject, which every student should hear. We hope arrangements can be made to have the lecture delivered before the students next Thursday.
other facilities possessed by eastern institutions, but we have a good campus and plenty of fresh air. It is to be hoped that every student will use these to the extent of his opportunities.
Arbor Day Proclamation.
STATE OF KANSAS.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Topeka, March 12, 1886.
To the People of Kansas:
A quarter of a century ago Kansas was described as a treeless prairie. To-day the state is dotted with forrests. The planting and growth of trees has not only diversified the beautiful landscape, but has modified the climate, increased the rainfall, and improved the agricultural productivity of Kansas.
It is important that tree-planting shall continue from year to year. Stenstone truly says that "the works of a person that builds begin immediately to decay, while those of him who plants begin directly to improve."
THEOREM, I. John A. Martin, governor of Kansas, did hereby set apart Thursday, April 1, 1886, as Arbor day, and respectfully ask that it be observed as a general holiday. County, city and township officers are requested to urge a general and practical observation of the day.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state. Done at Topeca, this 12th day of March, A. D. 1886, and of the state the twenty-sixth year.
By the Governor:
JNO. A. MARTIN
E. B. ALLEN,
Secretary of State.

The social advantages offered to the students of the University are among its most commendable features. The student who neglects these opportunities for social culture makes a great mistake.
A man may be as intellectual as Socrates, but if he has no social culture he will labor at a great disadvantage. He will find that the world is cold and formal and slow to recognize his true worth. But, say some one, "How can I go into society? I have no money and, besides, my clothes are not good enough." This is a mistake made by a great many students. They seem to think that one of the requisites for entrance into good society is a large bank account and an abundance of broadcloth. The truth is, however, that the amount of money which a student has, cuts a very small figure in University society. In fact, some of the most prominent students and leaders in society are comparatively poor. The only requisites demanded by society are neatness and gentlemanly deportment. This is not too much to ask of any student; yet it is more than some students think that they can give. We not unfrequently hear complaints of aristocracy in the University. For our own part we are glad that such a class exists, and that it is ready to receive additions to its number. A great many students who can now only boast of "golden mediocrity," might boast of golden aristocracy if they would only pay a little more attention to their personal appearance. If any one is not satisfied with the present aristocracy of the University let him start an aristocracy of his own.
1. Take a bath tub full of H2O., add soap, apply freely with special reference to ears. 2. Take ammonia, apply freely to coat collar.
In the forming of his aristocracy he will find the following receipt of much value :
3. Take blacking and apply to shoes, add brush in proper quantities. 4. Take brush, add to teeth. 5. Take a general "cleaning up."
If to these suggestions of the receipt he will get his cuffs and collars "done up" at the laundry instead of by some fifth-rate washwoman, he will be ready to start his aristocracy. Then exercising good common sense and gentlemanly deportment, he will be sure to receive a large and worthy following.
The current number of the North American Review contains an article on "American Landlordism," by Henry Strong. In answer to the article by Thomas P. Gill, M. P., which appeared in the January number of the Review, the writer presents figures which show that the would-be reformer was wholly mistaken in his assumption that landlordism is increasing, and that the land is getting into the hands of a landed aristocracy.
From the census reports of the last twenty years the writer shows that the tendency is towards an increase in the number of farms and a proportionate decrease in the number of acres in each. The following table shows the number of farms in states, east, south and west, for the years 1860, 1870 and 1880, respectively:
This would seem to explode the theory of Mr. Gill, Henry George and other "weeping pilgrims," and show that they had shed all their tears for nothing. However, to clinch the argument the writer presents another table showing the number of acres in the average farm for the last three decades in twelve representative states.

Continuing his argument Mr. Strong shows that the notion that the number of mortgaged farms is increasing is wholly wrong. As a practical business man he asserts that "the number of mortgaged farms is diminishing even more rapidly than the diminution in the area of individual land holdings."
In proof of this he cites the fact that many corporations unable to get farm loans have withdrawn their money and are seeking other investments. Having spoken, as he says, from inductive argument, he changes his position and presents "the a priori probabilities." He shows that it is unprofitable to invest money in land unless one works the land himself. "The landed estates of England, formed by proxy, do not pay two per cent.
The article is so complete an answer to much of the grumbling which we hear from time to time, that we hope every student will take occasion to read it in full. The figures are worthy of preservation.
SAINTS AND SINNERS.
A friendly correspondent, writing of poetry, says: "Whenever the divine alliatus gets in its work, don't fail to give us the benefit." We extend a like invitation to all readers of the Courier Whenever the spirit moves, place your thoughts on paper and hand to the Courier for publication. Make this a paper of the students as well as for the students.

So far I have not heard a breath about the publication of an annual this year. The Kikkabe and the Cyclone left unpleasant impressions, and there is no manifest desire to repeat the enterprises which produced so much inflicthy. The Kikkabe succeeded in kicking up a furious row in the University, a fortunate occurrence for the publishers, as the row stimulated people into buying the thing. The following year the Cyclone, a production of brotherly love came out and was a practical failure. It contained too much sugar and too little spice. The manager learned, as has the manager of every University publication, that pepper is the best ingredient a college paper can contain; in fact, about the only kind of seasoning the students relish. The annual magazine was chiefly intended as a fraternity advertiser, anyway, and the fraternities concluded that advertising which emptied their treasures and brought no appreciable returns of any kind, was bad business.
$\textcircled{*}$ $\textcircled{*}$
I am not one of those who imagine that a newspaper is published for my special benefit, and that what I don't enjoy reading is necessarily poor matter. There is one class of stuff, though, in which it seems to me impossible for anybody to get any enjoyment, and that is the Frenchified description of toilets one so frequently sees. How the reporter manages to go so far beneath the surface and picture garments denied ordinary vision, is to me a huge mystery; but that is probably because I don't understand French. Any way, here is a morsel from the description of costumes worn at a late wedding: "'She wore a pearl crepe de soie dress, a chinese of pearl colored crepe, corsage of moyen age, mousseline de soie sleeves, an aumonie covered with jewels, and a low caplita hat'"
The dickens of the whole thing is that I don't understand the little wee bit of English that has crept into the article, and that is where the writer speaks of the lady having a dress with "a moral train." Being of an inquisitive disposition, I'm willing to give six bits if some one will confidentially explain to me the difference between a moral and an immoral train. The Courier is a religious paper, and I want to keep on the side of morality, particularly of the "moral train."
. .
One of the anomalies of the present time is that men can anywhere be found to strike when there are so many thousand impecunious, open-jawed, lynx-eyed, craving men anxious to step into their shoes. The number of unemployed people desirous of work is positively astound ding. Any one is badly fooled if he thinks his own vocation is the only over crowded one. The teacher, for instance, who applies for a school and finds there are seventy other candidates electionering, fighting, scrambling and underbidding each other, is apt to think his path would be clearer through some other pasture-lot of life. But it wouldn't. From street-digger to U. S. senator, the contest is equally bitter, the vacancies equally few, the applicants equally numerous. A party of engineering students called on Chief Engineer Kingman, of the Santa Fe, on contest day, to ascertain how many choice openings offered in his department. They were not set in ecstasies by his reply that no vacancies existed, and that he could within an hour get a substitute for every man in his employ. The wise individual just now will take whatever he can get and stick to whatever he has.
Not pretending to be a prophet nor
Since my squibs above were in type, Arthur Adams drops in to talk me that he has been offered, and helps with celerity accepted, a position as assistant division engineer on the C. B. & Q. R. R. This leads me to say that the boys who have taken the engineering course in K. S. U. have on the whole, fared better in the world than those from any other department. In fact, the northeast corner of Mother Oread's loft conceals great big pile of thorough work—work that seldom disports itself with much *eclat* in the University, but tells mighty well when the boys get out into this rough-and-tumble land of the striped flag.
A kind of employment which serves a very opportune purpose for a goodly number of University boys during the blistering summer days, is institute teaching. In fact, there isn't much other work offered in the war of a one or two month's summer job at which a fellow can earn his salo. Yet, how overdone is this field of labor after all! I'll bet a curl from Rob Curdy's Hyperion books that there isn't a county superintendent in this Jayhawker state of ours who hasn't on file from a dozen to a score of applications from would-be institute instructors.
I was shown one of these applications recently by a friend who occupies the position of county superintendent in one of our most prosperous counties. The letter was a masterpiece of literature which I ought to have taken down verbatim et iteration for my COURIER readers, but I didn't think of it at the time. I think, however, I can give the salient points. The letter ran like this, barring the poor spelling, which I can't recall: "My Dear Sir: I have heard that you might want some one to run your institute next summer, and would like to say if you do I am your man and will do it for you as cheap as the next one or anybody else. I have taught school considerable and have been at a number of these institutes and know just how they go. Am five feet four inches tall, blue eyes and a dignified presents who knows how to command. Now being as I will be at liberty just about your time I wont ask you more than thirty-five dollars and my board. Wont you please do me the favor to write right off and if you have already got your man perhaps you know some other good place where such as I could get a place to teach and I can give the very best recommendations both as to my character and ability for doing such work as to teach in institutes or anywhere else that needs a first rate capable man."
Fra Diavola, Auber's delightful opera, is to be presented in Lawrence for the first time, by the Boston Ideals, next Monday night, and will undoubtedly catch a large coterie of students. The opera is full of perilous incidents, particularly the toilet scene of the bed-chamber in the second act, where Zerlina, the heroine, disobes singing; :
For a servant there's no denying.
There's a shape that's not much amiss.
Here's no cause, I fancy, for sigging.
When one boasts such a figure as this
During this scene the young man who brought his best girl generally clutches his chair with breathless trepidation, fearing something may "happen." The Boston Ideals possess to a charming degree what is now considered unnecessary in comic opera—voices. I predict a big and fashionable audience, including, of course, a full delegation of the Sinners.

Prominent among these is the habit which some gentlemen have of confining their attention to a particular lady during the entire evening, to the exclusion of all others. While it may be very agreeable to himself to spend his evening, he should remember that it may not be to the lady, and also that he owes some share of his attention to the other ladies present. It is the duty of each one to do all he can to make the evening enjoyable to all.

We have also noticed that some low young ladies and gentleman have habit of dancing wildly around the room, and apparently taking great pleasure in the annoyance which they cause to others, and in the attention which their wild and ungraceful movements attract.
Now there is no reason why the students of the University should appear at all inferior to the citizens in these respects. The cultivation and discipline of the mind certainly ought not to exclude the cultivation of one's manners. Let the students so conduct themselves that when the people of Lawrence invite them into their society, they may not appear less polite and refined than their entertainers. P.

My attention was called last week by an article in the Courier to the fact that next Thursday has been appointed Arbor Day. I wish to add my voice to that of the writer thereof masking for a vacation of two days. We have no specified vacation, not even of a day, between Christmas and June; and I would like to ask the faculty if it does not think twenty-three weeks of hard study without a single vacation is rather too much. Most of the colleges of the state have a week vacation in the spring. There is no member of the faculty but who will concede that vacations are a benefit in every way. A vacation tests the mind and recuperates the body. There is never anything lost by a short vacation. But the drift of all these remarks is, let us have a vacation next Thursday and Friday.
'Tis Ever Thus.
He was a Freshman, conceived, impudent, mock wise; but chief among his characteristics, the indiscretions and impudence of youth held full sway. She is the maid of whom immortal Shakespeare, by superior and super human insight, must have seen painted in glowing colors on the canvas of his mental vision as he wrote:

Dark and portentious it was; the streets illuminated only by the pale and sickly flare of burning gas, sputtering and flickering as though indignant at being compelled to be out and doing duty such a night. Above the elements frowned; beneath sliny and deep lay mire, caused by recent storms. Groping their way through dense darkness, over holes, ruts and washes, they passed until in an unfrequented alley a pool much worse than all preceding, which must be crossed, was reached. They paused. She timidly through the dense and sombre darkness peered, and there discerned an imminent peril awaiting her. Quoth she: "Impossible 'tis for me to ford these dismal depths. I might as well attempt to brook the raging Tiber."
Would through the airy region stream so bright.
That birds would sing, and think it were not nidul."
"Iimagine me," he said, "to be a ferry, and by its aid, if willing, you may cross unharmed and dry. Will you take passage?"
"And why, forsooth? The cause I wish to know."
"Tis not within thy power, impudent sir, to thus transport me."
At a gathering of choice and gentle spirits they met, and he, by silly bothhings whiled away an hour, thinking ofaught but selfish happiness, till the time was struck when they must part, and to their homes and stern realities betake themselves. He, fain to prolong the time, proposed that to the happy home, which by her
"I have said you cannot; 'tis sufficient cause; nor other will I give, but will reiterate the first—you cannot."
"I cannot? By Hercules, thinkst thou 'tis without my power to bear so light and yet so sweet a burden? I cannot! thus demonstrate I to you that I can."
Without more waste of words he siezed her quickly but with gentle care, and boldly strode into the middle of the slough, wishing the pool were miles in width, that thus he might embrace a golden opportunity; but even as he wished, with violent efforts she freed herself, dropping deep into the slime and motioned him with haughty disdain, to leave her side. Said she:
"Blockhead, home with you! I refused consent in pointblank English, to your presuming proposition. Didst think, in the sun of thy dense ignorance, I doubted thy physical power?"
Backwards a pace or two he dropped, and stood agast, one, five, ten seconds, in unbroken silence. Standing in mud, each through the impenetrable gloom intensely gazing, vainly the other wishing to read; she with thoughts which her own bosom held in profoundest secrecy; he, if thinking he might be said to be, so rapid were the transits of his mind, thought in this wise:
"Thus has this crystal flake of snow, which, childlike admiring its rare beauty, I wished to hold within mine hand, metamorphosed and now is lost! But perchance I am mistaken. Dare I approach and ask her to forgive? Mayhap she jests, and only tries to see of what metal I am made. What shall I say, how act to reinstate myself in her good graces?"
While he pondered and tried to read her thoughts—'twas futile, no friendly gas-jet lent its rays to this dark hole. Thrice he essayed to speak, but could not; his coward tongue clave to the roof of his mouth. At length, tired of the situation, she said: "Methinks 'tis within my power, this pool to cross unnaided—sir, good night!" And tripping lightly by him, she vanished in the darkness. "Not so," he cried. Your pardon grant! One moment pause! I would not see you tread these dark, dark passages alone on such a night. However my conduct may have been, permit me to continue with you to your home." She acquiesced, and silently they passed along, 'till the parental roof was reached, and as he paused upon the
threshold to wish her merry dreams, softly she whi-pered. "My solid fellow would have carried me clear across, nor dropped me in the mud, despite my protestations—he knows my humors well. Good night." She closed the portals, and as he homeward trod, a sadder and a wiser man, he thus soliloquized: "Long have I thought woman's way to be beyond the ken or measurement of man; to-night I've seen it proven. Truly, the proper study of mankind is woman." H.

What has become of our lecturers? For the third time we have made special arrangements to take a trip through Greece by the light of a "Jack-lantern," but have as many times been disappointed.
Next Thursday is arbor day. We hope to have a holiday and the pleasure of hearing Prof. Canfield lecture on "Forestry Culture."
The half-term examination approaches and the student begins to think some of studying. It's a good idea.
The current number of the Western School Journal contains an excellent article on our "School System," by J. H. Canfield. Perhaps no one has done more to keep the University before the state, and to advance the cause of education in Kansas than Prof. Canfield.
We hope the Usher Guards will get all the military glory possible when they go to Kansas City to fight the strikers.
Patti Rosa, the charming little actress, appeared in "Zip," one of Lotta's plays Monday night to a small but select audience. This was her first appearance here as a star, and she was not well known. But now she has left a reputation in Lawrence, and will doubtless have a packed house next time she comes.
The examining board of the School of Pharmacy of the State University met yesterday afternoon at the University and effected an organization. The members present were: Geo. Leis, of this city; R. J. Brown, of Leavenworth; Arthur E. Barnes, of Topeka; B. W. Aldrich, of Wichita. The other member, W. C. McPike, of Atchison, is in California and was unable to attend. The Board is composed of gentlemen of the highest reputation and standing as practical and theoretical druggists, thoroughly devoted to the interests of their profession, and well able to conceive and execute plans for its advancement. R. J. Brown, of Leavenworth, was elected president of the Board and A. E. Barnes, of Topeka, secretary.
Examining Board of the School of Pharmacy.
It is the duty of the Examining Board to hold the examinations in connection with the faculty of the Department of Pharmacy, and their testimony to the ability and knowledge of graduates is as high a certificate as can be obtained. For convenience the members of the Board were assigned different branches as their special field for examination, as follows: Materia Medica, B. W. Aldrich; Praetical Pharmacy, Geo Leis; Chemistry, A. E. Barnes; Botany, R. J. Brown. The examinations will be held the first week in June.
The School of Pharmacy of the State University is now established on a firm foundation. It has many advantages not possessed by private institutions of the kind. The fees which students at other colleges must pay to professors, are here provided for by the State. The faculty has no inducements to favorism, or the advancing of an unworthy student, as is frequently the case with a private college. A certificate from the University is not only a proof that a man has completed his course under able professors, but also adds the weight of the names of five of the acknowledged and admitted leading druggists of the State to the testimonial to his fitness. No private institution has or can have such a security. No man can graduate from the University's Pharmacy Department without being thoroughly equipped and trained for the profession which demands cares fulness and knowledge—a business
which has to do with medicines and poisons.
The Examining Board of Pharmacy is the connecting link between the State and the University. After thoroughly testing the applicants for examination it can stamp them with the full authority of the State, and give them rank as practical as well as theoretical pharmacists. The course which has been prescribed is above the standard of private colleges, and it will be kept thus, so that a diploma from the University of Kansas will be an honored certificate of ability and study. Thoroughness is made a guiding principle. The members of the Board are determined that the department shall have no superior among the pharmaceutical colleges of the country, and with its present able management, Prof. Sayre, a pharmer of national reputation, in charge, assisted by an exceptionally fine faculty, with earnest, enthusiastic young men of Kansas as students, their efforts will surely be crowned with success.-Herald-Tribune.

Announcement.
LAWRENCE, KAN., MCH. 10, 1886 We have sold our entire interest in the stock of goods belonging to L. BULLENE AND COMPANY, to MR. AUTHOR D. WEAVER, herebefore a partner in the house, who will hereafter continue the business at the old stand.
LAWRENCE, KAN., MCH. 10, 1886.
Upon retiring from the business, we take this opportunity to tender our sincere thanks to the patrons of the old firm for a generous patronage extended to them during many years; and also to commend Mr. WEAVER to them as a man who we feel confident will prove in all respects worthy of their patronage and confidence.
L. BULLENE,
WM. L. BULLENE.
Referring to the above card, the undersigned desires respectfully to solicit a continuance of the patronage so liberally bestowed upon the old firm of L. BCLENE & Co., and to assure the public that no effort will be spared by him to perpetuate the good name of the house, and to make it, under his proprietorship, worthy of their confidence.
I shall immediately stock up the large store rooms with a complete stock of everything belonging to the dry goods trade, and I shall not be undersold by any firm in Lawrence.

The Boston Ideal Opera Company is without a doubt the largest and finest in America, containing the best stars of the country, and an excellent chorus and orchestra, making fifty-six people in all. They will appear in Auber's well known opera, "Fra Diavolo," in praise of which the best dramatic papers of the country are loud..
The Boston Ideals.
The appearance of this excellent company at the theater, next Monday evening, will be the gratest event of the season.
There will be a slight advance in the price of seats, but considering the excellency of the attraction, it is certainly justifiable. The management of the Opera House cannot afford to bring such attractions here at the usual price. It will certainly be worth the money, and the house will be jammed
