The COURRIER was mistaken. Opponent contest was not last Friday.
When are the Freshmen going to live their party? It is about time. The domestic chemistry class has ended down to but five members.
We wonder how much good the courier did in securing the vacation. Don't forget the Courier election day at the end of the fourth hour. Our lecture course is like a day, you never can tell what it will bring forth.
The thanks of the students are due to Prof. Snow for getting the vacation this week.
The Washburn Argo has a good number this month as it contains Jane's oration.
The Seniors are working on "Capital," and they haven't much of a foundation either.
Climb up the hill at night to see the prairie fires which light up the horizon on all sides. It is a beautiful sight.

A class in the Federalist will be formed next week. It will be under Prof. Canfield, which is a guarantee of its success.
The committee on June orator have invited A. T. Childs, of Des Moines, to deliver the address before the literary societies.
The students' song during vacation:
"The Exams that come in the Spring, tra la, la,' have nothing to do with the case, 'tra la, la.'"
Students should not ask their lady friends to go to dances or operas too far ahead, for a rainy night in Lawrence is like a tin can tied to a dog's tail, it is bound to occur.
A party was held at the home of Rob Rankin last Saturday evening, it being the anniversary of his birth. The evening was spent in dancing, etc. All report a pleasant time.
Work will soon begin on Snow Hah in earnest, and the clinking of stone and the sound of the hammer and saw will once more be heard on Mount Oread.
The Senior class of the Topeka high school will be down to the contest. They will visit the University in the morning and the Indian School in the afternoon.
Last Friday evening the gentlemen of Phi Kappa Psi gave a very pleasant party in their elegantly furnished halls. The first part of the evening until half-past ten, was devoted to progressive eucher, in which Miss Maud Mansfield and Cyrus Crane were victors at the head table, and Miss Emma White and W. S. Jenks were victor boobies. After the serving of refreshments, music and dancing and social converse occupied the moments until the "wee hours." The following ladies and gentlemen were present: J. A. Prescott, Miss Bertie Kinnear; A. L. Wilmott, Miss Jo Gilmore; W. S. Jenks, Miss Nellie Furniss; Prof. and Mrs. Brownell; H. B. Bullene, Miss Alice Noble; A. W, Postlethwaite, Miss Lizzie Pettee; E. L. Swope, Miss Clara Coffin; Denton Dunn, Miss Titus; Cyrus Crane, Miss Hattie Dunn; Solon T. Gilmore, Miss Maud Mansfield; O. B. Taylor, Miss Alice Penfield; Y. M. White, Miss Bella Love.
The library was so cold Monday it was almost impossible to remain in it.
The athletes are beginning to practice for Field Day. We are glad to see this. There is no reason why the University should not stand first in athletic sports as well as in oratory.
Prof. Canfield has a plan which would be well for the professors to consider. It is that of dividing up the boys between the different professors, and on arbor day using them to beautify the professors' yards and lawns, lay out gardens, etc. It might be practical.
The Phi Delta Thetas handsomely entertained their lady friends last Friday evening at the A. O. U. W. hall. This was the first party the Phi Delts have given and no effort was spared to make the occasion a happy one. The amusements consisted of dancing, card playing, bean bag, singing and social conversation. The hall was prettily draped in the Phi Delt colors. A fine supper was served in the hall by that excellent caterer Mull. A number of toasts were responded to by Messrs Blair and Ridge, of Kansas City, Caldwell, Graham, Burney, Higgins and Schall. Those present were: Misses Nannie Anderson, Marcella Howland, Lillie Freeman, Manie Henshaw, Emma Blackington, Lou Palmer, Nellie Palmer, Alice Bartell, Agnes Wright, Nellie Franklin, Tella Chapman, Evelyn Smith, Laura O'Brien, Gertie Crotty, Maud Thrasher, and Messrs. Blair, Burney, Leipman, Higgins, Davis, Graham, Jackson, Wheeler, W. S. Franklin, Ed. Franklin, Kellogg, Snyder, Lewis, Chase, Schall, J. W. Ridge, of Kansas City, J. W. O'Brien and Mr. Caldwell and wife.
Some writer in the Washburn Argo deplores the fact that athletics are on the decline at K. S. U., and gives a howl as to the manner their club was treated in Lawrence last spring. To the first, we will say that Washburn has probably found to her cost that athletics have not fallen to a very low place in the University. To the second, we can say, although their nine has ample grounds for complaint, yet, on the part of our boys, it was a mistake, pure and simple. And in answer to their howl, we will ask the writer if he has ever heard something about people who live in glass houses. Of course, Washburn has always treated the University magnificently. Washburn never ran in three men from Topeka to play with them. Her students never tried to bulldoze the umpire. They never insulted (?) the University nine by deriding almost every play made, howling and hooting at one of our players. They never capped their insulting behaviour by hissing our victorious nine as they filed into supper. Oh no, we have no wrongs to remember from Washburn. Our remarks do not refer to the Washburn nine, for they are gentlemen, but a large part of Washburn students know to whom we do refer.

Notice.
There will be a meeting of the Courier Company at the end of the 4th hour Wednesday, April 31. Important business relating to the policy of the paper will come before the meeting. The resignation of Harry Smith as editor-in-chief is in the hands of the company, and a new editor-in-chief, one associate editor, a member of the board of directors and a president, will have to be elected. All persons desiring stock should see the business managers at once.

We notice that at the University of Pennsylvania no one is eligible to a nomination for the position of editor who has not shown his ability by contributions to the college paper. We incline to the opinion that such a regulation would be of benefit to both the Courier and Review.
Arrangements are being made to have a joint field day contest between Washburn and the University on May 7th, the day following the inter-state oratorical contest. We hope the students of Washburn will see fit to join with us in this movement. This should be the first of a series of contests to be held annually between the two colleges.
The anti-monopolist defends the hasty action of the Knights of Labor by saying that "both district 101 and the local assemblies had asked for arbitration before the strike began." This reminds us of Buck Fanshaw, who was such a lover of peace that at the first indications of a row at the spring election he sent fourteen men home on a shutter before they could strike a blow. There is nothing like peace, even if you have to instigate a rebellion to secure it.
It has been said that the greater one's advantages, the less likely is he to improve them. We see a striking proof of this assertion in the neglecting by many students, of the opportunities of the University. In the library are books touching nearly
every subject to which the student's attention is likely to be called. Yet only a comparatively small number of the students ever take a book from the shelves. There are also in the library papers from nearly every county in the state, as well as many literary and scientific periodicals; but how many students can name a dozen weekly papers of the state, or know the names of the most noted contributors to the North American Review or the Atlantic Monthly? In the natural history rooms are collections of minerals, birds and insects which in some respects are unsurpassed by any collection in the United States. Yet how few students there are who could name fifty birds or recognize the most important metals or precious stones! In other departments are apparatus of which the average student possesses the same blissful (?) ignorance. There is a neglect of careful observation that it would seem almost advisable to make this a required study in the departments where there is extensive apparatus, as well as the text book in use. If there is any kind of habit which will be of special benefit to the student when he leaves college, it is the habit of observation. There are many good things in this world which should be seen and examined carefully. The person who lives wholly within himself, lives only half his life; the other half is in the world about him which he has never seen.
SAINTS AND SINNERS.
University holidays have increased until nothing would now strike one with surprise. Should some professor appear on the chapel rostrum one of these fine mornings and announce the dismissal of school in honor of a very important 10-pound family event in his household the night before, the students would take it as a matter of course. Governor Martin has proclaimed under the great seal of "ad astra per aspera." that April fool's day shall be devoted to setting out green saplings. As a result we students, who couldn't tell a huckleberry bush from a shell-bark hickory to save our necks, are to have a vacation Thursday, Friday and Saturday. All right! I am not so traitorous to my student constituency as to raise a breath against holidays, though they come
"Thick as autumnal leaves that strew the brooks Of Valombrosa."
It is well to take a serious view of some features of this matter, however. Many students will go home, as they always do on vacations. It is usual with these to delay returning till Monday noon. Now don't! It is cheating yourselves. The time allotted to University work is short indeed—too short for the course of study prescribed. As it is, every branch is scampered over at a rate of speed that forbids thoroughness. Don't do anything to make matters worse. Be here for recitations Monday morning.
The Ohio representative in the inter-state contest to be held here in May, has a wife and two children. I mention this that our fair beauties may not run the risk of trespassing on others preserves.

An article on the ''Curious Freaks
of Somnambulism," now going the rounds of the current press, recalls an episode in the life of Harry Shawhan two winters ago. As Shawhan has joined the church and sobered down into an inoffensive pedagogical life, he will not demur to the mention of this incident of his livelier career as a student. Shawhan boarded at Mrs. Henshaw's. His fondness for ladies in general, and one University girl in particular, was intense. Unfortunately, to this devotion for the gentler sex he added the embarrassing trait of somnambulism. One cold night when the snow was on the ground, his perturbed state of mind led him to rise in his sleep and start for the dwelling of his fair one. Poor Shawhan! His costume was ill adapted to the season of the year, however much in keeping with the hour. Sufficient to observe it was gotten up on the most approved plans of ventilation, and displayed the figure to a much fuller extent and to more admirable advantage than the tautest knee breeches now affected by our dudes. However, it was not constructed for street promenades, and with no especial reference to the legal enactments on decency. It certainly would not have been permissible in Kansas City where even Mother Hubbards are prohibited by statute. Well, Shawhan got as far as the Catholic church when he stubbled his toe and awoke. He was not long in realizing his unenviable position. Quick as his benumbed limbs would carry him, he hied him back to the Henshaw mansion. But the story of his adventure got out. It spread. Young ladies were much exorcised for his future safety, and kept awake nights peering into the lonely streets. In vain! Shawhan never walked again. He was too sharp for that. Each night thereafter when he had said his prayers and prepared for rest, he chained himself to the bed-post.
I have not been so flabbergasted in these many moons, as I was in picking up the last Washburn argo, and reading the following in the contest report: "The exercises which had been arranged with much care, were marred by the thoughtlessness of some of the University boys, who probably without thinking of the result, called out thename of a pharmacy monkey which frequents that institution. No sooner had its name been called than it bounded upon the stage, banjo in its paws, and went through a series of antics and vain attempts to insult the visitors of other colleges." And this from the home of the Washburn ladies quartette! Ye gods! Ye gods! Inasmuch as we were in a certain sense guests of Washburn students, I had concluded to pass over their inhuman inhospitality in torturing us and desecrating the brilliant occasion by letting loose the Washburn quartette. But the brazen effrontery of slandering the rare vocal excellence of Dan Crew, and lauding the rasping, gasping voices of their quartette, is enough to infuriate an angel. After the Ada Richmond company gave opera berlesque in Lawrence last fall, I said I had heard the vilest singing on earth. I am compelled to scratch the names of the Richmond company and let the Washburn quartette escape with the biscuit. I have a great deal of the sympathy for the girls in the
laughing ridicule they brought upon themselves, and will not now go the length of the Argo in publishing their names to the world. Now as to Dan Crew. Whatever may be said against him, his rich and delicious lyric efforts captivate every ear. On the occasion in question he enaptured the huge crowd by singing a topical song directed at the Bakery; and when the doughnuts spat and hissed at the apt application of his lines, he quickly quieted their endeavor to break him by repartee so forcible, so fit and so telling, as to bring a tumultuous storm of applause from the great multitude. Still, as the Washburn critic's musical education has not reached that point where he can distinguish a guitar from a banjo, his animadversions are of precious little consequence to Dan Crew or any one else.

It was indeed a happy crowd of University boys and girls that attended Fra Diavolo last Monday night. Most of the pretty girls were there, and were at their prettiest, too. The audience seemed a reflex of the stage, except that the balance of beauty lay in the former. Perhaps no play has ever been witnessed by a larger delegation of students, or enjoyed by a more appreciative one. If any one of low desires was present expecting to see something brazen, or suggestive, or vulgar, or indecent, or nasty, he must have been sadly disappointed. How exquisitely undressing can even be done in public, in such a way as to enrapture and yet not offend the senses, was illustrated by the innocently modest manner and charming grace with which Miss Marie Stone achieved the difficult feat. I took some delight in noticing the effect on the audience, particularly the University portion of it, during this risky business. When her head-dress had been laid aside, her bodice removed, and she proceeded to unpin the bands of her skirts, a nervous twitch among the girls, and an anxious wonder on the faces of their escorts, seemed to say, "where will all this thing end?" It ended, however, and in that end revealed much less than is ordinarily displayed in a fashionable ball room. Had Miss Stone only a beautifully moulded form to make the illusion complete as she sung:
"For a servant there's no denying,
Here's a term; that's not amiss!"
her success would have been complete. As it was, her lover, Lorenzo, would have been justified in any court on earth for breaking the engagement there and then. But that wouldn't have been operatic. Miss Stone's gifts of voice, her light and silvery soprano, sweet and clear, did much to condone her scraggy figure. It is rare that we find a fine singer who possesses also a handsome outline of person. All the principals did well. Tom Karl's tenor and Mr. Clark's bass being especially meritorious. The chorus had little to do, and huddled on the stage like a herd of sheep; nor were they as richly endowed with beauty as some of our boys might have desired. As a whole, however, the opera was an immense success; pleasing to the audience, remunerative to the manager and creditable to the performers.
*
The remarkable success of students in maintaining their boarding clubs
on a sumptuous and at the same time economical scale, leads to what would seem a pleasing solution of the domestic problem. In Lawrence, as everywhere, the cry is continually heard that there are not enough good girls who can be secured for house work. What is there to prevent successful co-operation in establishing eating houses? Suppose all the families in one block should rent a house and employ cooks to prepare their meals. Three times a day they could repair to their eating place. The walk would be short and afford good exercise. They could arrange hours so that each family might have a room and table alone. The worst drudgery of family care would be removed from the house-wife. Groceries being bought in so large bulk and delivered at one place, would cost far less. To cap all, the economy of such an institution would greatly reduce the expense of living. The great consideration would of course be as it is with the students' club—getting a good manager and a good cook. As this feature of the matter has been successfully met by students, it ought to be equally easy for citizens. Boys are now living at $2.00 per week, where it formerly cost $3.50, and at $3.00 for what would otherwise cost $5.00. If I mistake not, Prof. Canfield worked up some such system of co-operative housekeeping a few years ago, but for some reason it dropped. I certainly can see no objection to the plan other than the universal dislike of people to leave their old-fogy, laborious ways, even for ones which offer so much ease and cheapness.
Not a year passes but some good natured fellow of the Senior class and his friends are wryly because the faculty wont let him patch up a course and substitute studies in such a fashion that he can graduate. The faculty are right. Our reputation as a University hereafter must be built upon the line of unequivocally thorough work in prescribed courses. We have cast off our high school or prep department and no longer can rest on numbers. Already the kindergarten Bakery at Baldwin has received enough infants to more than equal the number of our students, and with characteristic doughnut gall the last Index calls on the legislature to withhold appropriations from our institution. It says: "When the State University, with its insatiable greed absorbing immense appropriations, cannot hold its own with other institutions voluntarily supported by the people it itself burdens, something essential is lacking." I only reprint this twaddle to show that we must rely on the high quality of our work and not on numbers. As long as we can supply members from our Freshman class as professors to the Bakery, we wont be worried by their pretended rivalship, I trow. The position the University occupies in the educational field is too well established to discuss. It is among the first of the great state institutions. I am glad our faculty refuses to succumb to good fellowship so far as to let irregular chaps graduate. They ought only to go a step further now and discard that arrant humbuggery of "first class," "second class," "third class" graduates. Let us have first class graduates or none.

state Ch
A communication from the consul general of the United States at Berlin states that within a few weeks over thirty cases of trichinosis have been discovered in Silesia, and other cases are reported from time to time from other places in Germany. This seems to show that the theory which led to the prohibition of the American hog is unfounded and opposed by facts. The Courier has always maintained that the American hog was innocent and unjustly ostracised from Teutonic society. It is a pleasure to note this vindication. The Kansas porker will now take his place at Bismarck's table in perfectly fraternal relations.
Athletics at the University seems to be in rather a comatose condition, and all efforts toward an awakening have so far proved abortive. The foot ball club of that place, after challenging us to a game on the 12th inst., declined to play on account of lack of practice. One would think that the challenging club might take such matters into consideration before offering to play, but in this case, either from the shortsightedness of the association, or a lack of confidence on the part of the K. S. U. eleven, their proficiency when the day of the game arrived, seems to have been a matter of serious doubt.
If this were the first instance of the kind it might pass without notice, but a similar circumstance happened last spring when the Washburn base ball club, fulfilling an accepted challenge, went to Lawrence. They were received by nobody but the ampire, who was, in fact, the only sign that a base ball club did exist at that place. We do not claim any excellence in athletics, but we do make it an object to keep our engagements, and thereby sustain the reputation of the college on the point of punctuality. If the University would take the interest in athletics that it evinces in social amusements, it might become a formidable factor in the sports of the Kansas college.—Washburn Argo. We very much regret our inability to reply to the above. We feel that the indifference of the University students to athletic sports, and the failure to meet the engagements mentioned above, make the criticism a just one. In fact, we feel quite flattered to know that "If the University would take the interest in athletics that it evinces in social amusements, it might become a formidable factor in the sports of the Kansas college." We had never supposed that we could become formidable, even with the greatest practice. To be sure, the University nine has won three out of five games played with the Washburns, but we never have aspired to become formidable. That is quite beyond our aspirations.
STUDENTS VIEWS.
While the president and secretary were casting up the marks of the judges, the exercises which had been arranged with much care were marred by the thoughtlessness of some of the University boys who, probably without thinking of the result, called out the name of a pharmacy monkey which frequents that institution. No sooner had its name been called than it bounded upon the stage, banjo in its paws, and went through a series of antics and vain attempts to insult the visitors of other colleges. —Washburn Argo.
Would it not be just as well for the students of Washburn to let the students of the University and or Baker Academy settle their own difficulties. The students of the University knew what they wanted, and if they saw to call on Mr. Crew and he to have a little amusement at the expense of the Baldwin students, the Washburnites, to a certain extent the hosts of the occasion, showed very poor taste, to say the least, in their "vain attempts to insult the visitors of other colleges" by hissing. If they did not approve, this was no way to express their dissatisfaction. The good natured chaff to which Mr. Crew treated the Baldwin students, was nothing in comparison to the vile and false accusations which but a few days before had appeared in the Index against some ladies from the University who were so unfortunate as to visit Baldwin City under the delusion that the people of that place had decency enough to treat visitors with at least common civility. Under the circumstances it would have been in much better taste for the Argo to have kept out of the affair. It was unnecessary to go out of the way to offer a gratuitous insult to Mr. Crew and his friends, as is done in the above clipping. We are sorry that the editors did not exercise better discretion. H.
As a subscriber of the COURIER, I object. I paid my fifty cents for a newspaper, not for an emetic, and that was what the COURIER was to me last week when I read that slush under the heading "Tis Ever Thus." If it is the COURIER that is ever thus, there wont be a well person in the University within a month. If it is the style of the writer that is ever going to be thus, then to that writer, who ever he or she may be, let me plead with them to move to the building on the north end of the hill. For your mother's sake, for your own sake, move before it is too late. If you will, you will have the sincere prayers of all the students for a speedy recovery. How I will pity the exchange editor of the COURIER as he is compelled to read the criticisms on that stuff. It may kill him. XXXX.

Every one should attend the interstate contest to be held at Lawrence, and thereby encourage our orator. Kansas must win! Shall we be beaten on our own soil?—Washburn Argo.
We were pleased one day last week to see some of our most prominent students appear in the halls with their graceful and shapely limbs enclosed in those convenient and becoming articles of apparel—the Knickerbockers. This reminds us of the good old days when Barry Hatch, that noble but somewhat unsuccessful reformer, was with us; when he, at the enormous sacrifice of time, pains and his father's pocket-book, tried to introduce this progressive and highly aesthetic custom. We are glad to see the revival of this movement. It shows that the students of the Kansas State University are willing to take upon themselves the burden of a much needed reform. Some may say that it is an innovation prompted mainly by the desire of vain display. However, this is not the case. It is a movement prompted by pure and philanthropic motives, and is worthy of the warm approval which it is receiving from the faculty. In fact, it is rumored that several of the professors have ordered abbreviated costumes, and are about to second the movement by their example. The "divine aflatus" for which we have so long been praying, has at last begun to exert its influence. Let the good work go on. P.
The presentation of Fra Diavolo, by the Boston Ideals, was certainly the finest opera Lawrence has ever had the privilege to enjoy, and the best attraction the opera house has offered this season. Those who did not hear them can well be sorry, for we doubt much if we shall ever again have the opportunity, for while the house was fair, such a company deserves nothing less than a crowded house, and lose money when they do not have such a house; therefore, cannot be expected to return. The fact is, that if we desire good attractions, we must patronize them when they come. It indicates also a low taste in the students and community to greet "A Rag Baby" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" with a packed house, and then only treat the "Ideals" fairly.

One of the largest audiences of the season gathered Tuesday evening to hear Prof. Wilcox's lecture. The lecture treated of Greece, and was interesting throughout. The lecturer's voice was very weak, and nothing could be understood back of the middle aisle. The professor described the journey, the different points touched in his voyage, the manners of the Greeks, the struggle for liberty, the Grecian king and queen, the city of Athens and the various ruins in and about Athens. The lecture was illustrated by the magic lantern.

My Ideal.
I'd find a stream, where the water's gleam
Had caught, with trembling hold.
The boughs of beech which bending reach To the rippling current cold,
I'd deftly rear a temple near,
Of coolest marble white.
If this life were for nothing but pleasure
And summer days never would end,
I know what I'd do with my leisure
And how my existence I'd spend.
While in beauty-lines, wild-ivy twines
each twig with green and gold.
With roof of glass o'er which would pass
A starry train at night.
While, through the day, dark leaves would sway
I'd build bright nooks for boasts of books.
By noet, priest and sage.
With mingled spots of light.
Whose master hands in many lands
Had pictured on the page.
by poet, priest and sage.
Whose master hands in many lands
Had pictured on the page
In that weird place, I drive to trace
the soul's eternal past.
Of parchment fair or vellum rare
The thoughts of every age.
Had pictured on the page
Of parchment 'fair or vellum rare
The thoughts of every age.
And like a scroll its life unroll
Through changes strange and vast,
cursus endless years, with hopes or fears,
Had met my views at last.
The truth I'd read in every creed;
Each veil should lift for me.
I'd grasp the store of magic lore
In Gattie or Chaldee ;
And there content, toward wisdom bent,
An anchorite I'd be.
But no! I'm sure I'd never endure
To pass the years alone—
Oer land and tide, the fairest bride.
That most dreams have known.
That poet-dreams nave known
So my cars should be filled with the singing.
Fd seek—and then, again, Fd greet my glen.
And fredless home of stones.
Of a sweet loving voice divine,
While from dark musty tenes I was bringing
The mystical secrets of Time. C. M. H.
The zoology have their choice as to whether they will make a collection or spend two hours a day in laboratory work.
A large and enthusiastic meeting was held in Prof. Miller's room at the fourth hour, Tuesday of last week, to make arrangements for field-day. W. S. Jenks, Barlow Lippincott and J. D. Davis, were appointed as a committee to make all necessary arrangements. The committee was instructed to confer with the Washburn students, and to make efforts to secure a joint field-day contest to be held in this city May 7th.
The Pharmacy department has been presented with a collection of 138 specimens of materia medica from Park, Davis & Co., making in all 436 specimens that have been presented by this firm. Some of the specimens are very rare. This firm has done everything within their power to make this department as complete as possible. They have requested Prof. Sayre to draw upon them for whatever he wishes, and promise however rare the specimen may be they will forward it as soon as possible. This request, coming from a house bearing such unbounded facilities, is a cause of congratulation to Prof. Sayre, and the department is lucky in having such friends and allies.

--great many papers in the state, and the Agricultural College is cuffed and kicked on every side. We would suggest, however, that before too much valuable ink is wasted on the subject, they make sure that the "rank infidelity" does exist. We are inclined to believe the statements fo ministers, but we have heard similar statements in regard to our own University which we know to be positively false.
Rev. Sam Jones defines the communist as one who lugs around a flag bearing the inscription "Our Children cry for bread," and who at the same time could be tapped for about four gallons of beer. This is a rough way of putting it, but we must confess that the eccentric divine tells a considerable truth.
The weekly Argus, Clay Center, speaking of Dr. Krohn's misfortune, says: "We were at Baker University a few years since, when at the oratorical contest he outraged justice by his action as judge, and we saw his image that the angry students hung across the street, and we said then as now, that he deserved what has befallen him." Here too, professor, we knew in a moment when the decision of the judges was rendered in favor of the University and not in favor of Baker, that Dr. Krohn's downfall was only a question of time. A minister who will not vote for his own denominational school should be "tarred and feathered" and sent to the deepest shades of Tartarus.
The statement was made at the Kansas Conference at Holton, on Monday last, by one of the ministers, that the Agricultural College of Manhattan was poisoning the minds of its students with rank infidelity. It was charged that the professor of agriculture, the professor of chemistry, and the professor of horticulture, availed themselves of every opportunity to sneer at Christianity and to create disrespect in the minds of their pupils for the church, the ministry, the bible and sacred things generally. We were surprised and pained to hear this. If it is true, we think it high time these eminent scientists were bounced. For, while the Agricultural College is not in any sense a religious school, it is not intended by the tax payers of Kansas that it should be an irreligious school. -Abilene Gazette.
The above has been clipped by a
If the ministers and editors will take the pains to discover the truth, they will doubtless find that they have shed their many tears in vain.
--present, the organization has been an injury rather than a benefit both to the Knights of Labor and the general public. But, profiting by the lesson of the hour, it is hoped and believed that the Knights of Labor will exercise a wiser deserition in the future, and accomplish through peaceable means the worthy objects of their organization. They see more clearly the inter-dependence of labor and capital, and that neither can hope to succeed by any means hostile to the general interests of the publie.
That it is a fact that the ranks of professional journalism are being largely recruited from the editors of college papers is beyond a shadow of doubt. That it is equally true that there is a certain feeling existing between the college-bred newspaper man and the journalist who has worked his way up from the case, must, with some regret, be admitted. But this feeling does not in any way change the aspect of the case, and to the dispassionate student of journalism the existence of such feeling can only be regarded as unfounded. The days of Horace Greeley in newspaper work have, to a great extent, passed away. Native genius must be supplemented by some more thorough mental equipment than can be obtained in the composing room or the police courts. Education never hurts a man in the long run, and in this country a college education is yearly becoming more necessary as an element of success in any business or profession.-The Journalist.
The eminent success of the graduates of the University, who have entered the journalistic field, demonstrates the truth of the above statement. In a few years there will not be a county in the state of Kansas that will not have a paper published by an ex-editor of one of our college papers. It is a significant fact that it carries with it good cheer for the educational interests of the state.
The great strike is practically ended. The wheels of commerce again begin to move. A great and serious crisis is passed which will leave permanent results and influences. From the great suffering and destruction it is hoped that some good may be derived. We believe that it has already come in the lessons which have been forced upon the Knights of Labor and the general public. The sentiment that the government must handle the labor question or else the labor question will handle the government, is obtaining general prevalence. On the other hand the good sense of the laboring classes asserts itself and rioting demagogues must stand to one side. The Knights of Labor see the mistake they have made and will be slow to take another step which will call upon themselves the censure of the public. The fact that the Knights of Labor have been defeated, or rather have defeated themselves in the present strike, does not prove that the organization is a failure or its objects are unworthy of success. On the contrary, the objects of the organization, with perhaps one or two exceptions in regard to finance, are most worthy and should receive the support of every citizen. It is probable that up to the
--to the altar," etc. Heaven save any more of Lawrence's daughters from such "popularity."
On last Thursday night, while the Usher Guards were engaged in the festive dance, a telegram was received ordering them to prepare to march to the scene of the strike at Parsons, Kansas. At first it was considered an April fool's joke, but when Capt. Howe began to talk of business the joke became a serious matter. The ladies were escorted home in haste and the boys soon reported at the armory with two days rations. The boys all came to the front like old soldiers, and several others from the city and University offered to enlist. Mr. Prescott was the only one admitted to the company, the rest being rejectde on account of inexperience in military tactics. The remainder of the night and early morning was occupied in making arrangements. Captain Howe addressed the company in a few well chosen remarks. He assured them that they should not be exposed to the insults and assaults of the mob without an opportunity to defend themselves. He cautioned them not to fire until ordered—but when ordered, to shoot low and straight. At 11 o'clock they marched to the depot and boarded the train for Ottawa. A great crowd of friends had accompanied them to the station to bid, aught they knew, a last good by, and as the train pulled out they gave repeated cheers for the boys in blue and their gallant commander. On the road to Parson nothing worthy of mention occurred until they pulled out from Ottawa, when fifteen or twenty men stepped out of a cedar grove beside the track and flagged the train. The major in command and Lieutenant Usher, followed by a guard of well armed men, soon dispersed the mob, and the train moved on without any further event, arriving in Parson at 9 P.M. The Guards were quartered in the opera house until Saturday morning, when they were removed to the railroad shops. Co.H. is acknowledge to be the best looking company in the regiment, and stand high in the estimation of the officers. The University students are specially complimented. Riggs and Morris were guards on the first engine that went out, and White and Prescott were detailed for special duty at headquarters. The boys are keeping up good spirits, and growing fat under the culinary attentions of the quartermaster. They expect to return next week.
The Clay Center Dispatch says their High School prepares their graduates for the Junior class of the University. What a libel on the University. It must mean Junior preparatory.

SAINTS AND SINNERS.
A few weeks ago I took occasion incidentally to mention my relation to the Courier. By request of the new editorial management, I shall continue to scribble for these columns under the same conditions as I did before—saying what I please as I please. The editor-in-chief does not tell me what to write or how to write it. If my opinions were the same as his, I presume he would have precious little use for my services. When the time comes that I haven't an opinion of my own or dare not express it, I shall stop writing and go to feeding hogs, which I believe requires little either of thought or courage. I make this explanation that the Sinners who may smart under the pricks of my pen may not empty their demijohns of blue vitrol on the innocent scalp of the presiding elder of this paper. In the meantime the Saints may continue to send their flowers and pomegranates around to my sanctum. No serenades will be permitted.

I have become so sick of reading and listening to discussions on labor and capital and strikes and boycotts, that I want to go out and heave every time I hear the words. Leach used to have a copyright on those subjects, and as they were the only topics on which he ever did have a thought, nobody presumed to intrigue. But since he dropped out of school a score of fry have taken them, and have dished them up in orations, declamations and essays, as well as in college papers, in most hopeless, uncomprehensible sort of a way. I fear since our "melish," with gore in their eyes and pop-guns in their dainty, hands have gone to the front, we will be inundated with more slop from the labor and capital sewer. Brethren, let us pray.
Well, this incident of calling out our youthful warriors, has at least given the question a funny side, which will be an antidote to the dismal, ponderous dissertations we have heard. Just fancy Herb Bullene, Will Morgan, Nate McCague and Rob Rankin squatted on the four corners of a box car, pops in hand, guarding it from strikers, on a cold Sunday night. And while the raw air travels up the walls of their thin trousers, making their lank legs bluer than the cloth that encases them, what a pleasant diversion it must be to think of their rivals at home sweetening their lips on Sunday night preserves that belong to the absent boys. O, why were we born!
The Lawrence papers would be nothing if not complimentary. Not long ago a Lawrence girl who don't possess the most savvy of characters, found some dupe who would marry her. She had probably ruined as many young men—including several students—as ony piece of feminity in the state. Anyway, her life credentials wouldn't be recognized by the manager of the pearly gates above, though they would gain her entrance to the pyrotechnic display of the eternal pit. But as I stated before, she got married at last. Well, by all the sinners! out came the morning paper with the announcement that "one of Lawrence's fairest and most popular daughters was led
After a long delay, the Lord know why, the committee of the Alumni Association has commenced to collect statistics for their triennial catalogue. Aside from the short time now remaining, there are several things to prevent this being a very extensive publication. First, the institution itself is hardly old enough to wear suspenders, and little of moment can as yet be expected from the life work of its alumni. Second, the graduates will be quite backward in booming themselves, and much that would be of interest will therefore be unrelated in the coming volume. To tell the truth, some of those who have accomplished most, don't hold the sheepskin of K. S. U. Take Charley Gleed, there. Few of our boys have done more for themselves or the University than that self-same Charley. Yet read the names of the alumni roster up and down, forward and back, you will not spell out the name of Charley Gleed. So with others. However, the line must be drawn somewhere, and mayhap it is best to put it at those who have been granted diplomas. Indeed, I would go a little further, and draw the mark at those who paid for them; as several prominent members of the association have not. The coming catalogue of the "Bachelors" will contain a great deal of interest and be a nucleus for much more. It would be a good idea for the committee to insert much information of their own, outside the barren autobiographies furnished by the alumni themselves.

One can hardly imagine anything more ludicrous—unless it would be Prof. Canfield rolling down Massachusetts street on a bycicle—than the sight presented by three of our professors horse-back riding one day last week. Such equestrianship was never before presented to our amusement loving public. And free of charge, too! Prof. McDonald, who knows considerably more about a symphony than about a saddle, led the heat. Prof. Sayre, gripping to the horn like satan to a sinner, followed half a block behind. Prof. Wilcox, who seemed totally indifferent whether he was making "a trip to Greece" or to Hades so that the stack on his quadruped, brought up the rear within riff range of the pharmacy man. At first the boys at the base ball ground thought it was a race and the game was stopped while the musical, Greek and pharmacy students went to betting on their favorite instructors. It soon became evident however, that the ungovernable horses were having a free-for-all home run, and that the uppermost idea of the three professors was to keep uppermost. Then the nature of the betting changed, with odds in favor of the horses reaching the stables riderless. But the faithful few who were loyal to professorial equestrianship won the pot. Telephones from the stables revealed the fact that Music, Drugs and Greece were still on top when the horses galloped to their stalls. Anybody finding three hats on Massachusetts street will be liberally rewarded, and no questions asked, by bringing them to faculty meeting next Thursday afternoon. SMITH.

We don't dance. Our girl does dance. Therein is comprised an eternity of misery. The preachers talk about fire and brimstone, and a cloven footed, forked-tail devil, to frighten poor simmers into repentance. Pshaw! why don't they name some terror one can appreciate? Why don't they hold up to the wicked gaze of the ungodly the fellow that can't dance who has a girl that does dance? But may be preachers don't realize the awfulness of this fix. We explain—for the preachers:
We have a girl—an angel. She dances; we don't. A fashionable ball was on the program. If we didn't ask her the other fellow would; and we don't believe in that kind of religion which buds us to heap coals on our rival's scalp by bequeathing him our best girl. So we asked her to the dance.
She was fair to look upon. Beaming eyes, delicious lips, beautious complexion, voluptuous neck, ravishing shoulders, and—well we don't care to go any further, except to repeat that this was a fashionable ball. A glance at her attire or non-attire would settle the question of a hack. So we went in a hack, subject to the ever delightful and pleasing supervision of the hack-man, which forbids irregularities.
The dance was all mirth for the dancers. Our girl dances. "Would we excuse her?" "Certainly" (couldn't help ourselves, by Jove!) No, our rival didn't bring her, but he had the first waltz with her—because you know, we don't dance. She dance. And there they whirled around the room, their warm passionate breaths embracing, and their arms engaged more closely in the same delicious occupation, while if we had attempted the same thing with quiet feet, we would have been a chosen subject for her father's cowhide. For we don't dance. Then she came and sat down and told us "what a sweet waltz it was" (devilish sweet), and then flew off into another embrace—we mean waltz. O how delightful it was for us—a few ancient maids, whom no one would have, to cheer our aching hours. Nothing like old cackling maids to dispel despondency! We talking, or being talked to, by these heathenish landmarks of womanhood, and our dear dulcina in the arms of—no, I mean waltzing, with our rival!
It was over at last—all things have an end, thank heaven. On our way home she enraptured us with an account of how lovely this one waltzed, and that one polkkaed. We didn't think the hack would hold any more rhapsodies or we might have dilated on our brilliant tete-tete with the antiquat. ed saurians in petticoats who shared with us the cold stove of the ball room. She went home to sweet dreams. We went home with bitterness in our heart and aching in our head, to a sleepless bed. Probably the dog didn't know why it was he got such a vigorous kick as he came fawningly out to meet us. Why should he? Neither dogs nor girls can appreciate the unhappiness and despair of the fellow who don't dance.
A fair audience greeted the Orophilian orators on last Friday afternoon in University chapel. Promptly at the appointed time the president of the society, Miss Nannie Anderson, introduced the first speaker of the day, Mr. Albach. The subject of his oration was Division of Labor. The subject matter was argumentative and full of good thought. Mr. Albach has a pleasing address and a good voice. His weak point is a somewhat ministerial style of delivery.
We will never have a base ball club if things run on the way they do at present. It is almost impossible to gather a crowd together in the afternoon.
The second speaker, Mr. J. B. Harris, spoke on the subject, "A Political Heresy." He reviewed the history of Nullification and the great Rebellion, and drew from it some practical conclusions. Mr. Harris has a full, round voice, and is a popular speaker. A little haste and uneasiness at first injured his otherwise excellent effort.
"The Spirit and Progress of the Teuton," was discussed in an able manner by the third speaker, Mr. Claude Highbargin. The speaker has a clear voice and good enunciation. Practice in repose of the hands would add to his appearance on the platform.
Mr. Higgins favored the audience with a baritone solo, which was heartily applauded.
The fourth speaker, Mr. A. G. Hagar, spoke on "Intellectual Education. He fairly won the second place in the decision of the judges. A little more deliberation in the exordium would have added weight to his speaking.
"Limited Immigration"was the title of the winning oration, delivered by Mr.F.E.Reed.In his delivery Mr. Reed stood head and shoulders above all his competitors.A little harshness in his higher tones can be easily overcome.His thought was good and his language direct and forcible.
Mr. Bullinger, the last speaker on the program, eulogized "The Pioneer." Mr. Ballinger has a deep, full voice and an appearance of ease which is pleasing to an audience. With age and maturity of thought he will become a good orator.
While the committee retired to render the decision Mr. Albach entertained the audience with a flute solo, accompanied by the piano by Miss Highbargin.
The decision of the judges awarding first place to Mr. F. E. Reed, and second place to Mr. Hager, received a hearty applause, which denoted general satisfaction. The following is the decision of the judges in full:

MORGAN.
Tuesday morning after a long and painful illness of two months, the hand of death removed one of our most popular students, Mr. E. G. Crandall. Mr. Crandall attended the University for three years, and was one of the brightest members of the Sophomore class. The students extend their sincere sympathy to the afflicted family.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND., April 7.—Delegates from twenty-six colleges, including New York, California, Minnesota and South Carolina, met in the Grand Arch council of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity to-day. E. C. Little, of Kansas, was elected president but declined. The Rev. G. C. Mars, of Northwestern University, was then elected president; Halstead, of Michigan University, vice president; Keifer, of Ohio, corresponding secretary; Governor Foraker, of Ohio, was elected orator, and Robert Burdette poet for the next G. A. C. —K. C. Times.

Prof. R. C. Meade, superintendem of the Atchison public schools, was last week presented by the teachers of the public schools of that city with a certificate of life membership in the National Teachers' Association. This is certainly a fitting recognition of the excellent services which the professor has rendered the schools of that city during the past seven years. We are also glad to see Atchison coming to the front in educational matters, and making this splendid manifestation of its terest in the Teachers' Association. But four certificates have yet been issued in the state.
The editor sat in his sanctum,
Letting his lessons rip ;
Racking his brains for an item,
And stealing all he could clip.
The editor sat in his class room,
As it getting over a drunk.
His phiz was clouded with awful gloom,
For he made a total flunk.
The editor returned to his sanctum.
He hit himself in the eye.
He swore he'd enough of the business,
He would quit the paper or die.
NOTES.
The students and all others who enjoy hearing a good comedian, should not fail to attend Shane-na-Lawn, by the celebrated actor, W. J. Scanlan, next Thursday night, the 15th. Mr. Scanlan is among the best comedians on the road, and appears at particularly good advantage in the romantic Irish drama, Shane-na-Lawn, where his rich Irish brogue and wilt admirably fit him for his part. Mr Scanlan's Irish songs are unsurpassed, being superior to Emmet's singing, and his support is good. The play is a strong one, and full of humor and pathos. A photograph of the harp of the great Irish poet, Thomas Moore, will be given as a souvenir to those present. The
prices will we popular-75, 50 and 25 cents. Sale of seats next Tuesday morning

The Grand Arch Council of Phi Kappa Psi met at Indianapolis, April 7, 8 and 9. Twenty-seven chapters were represented, and about 150 were present. J. C. Needham, a Senior from the University of the Pacific, was the first regular delegate that has ever come from California to the national convention of any fraternity. Kansas alpha was represented by E. C. Little, Frank C. Thompson, Solon T. Gilmore, W. W. Douglas, '84, who
A sweeping change was made in the entire constitution, to take effect July 1st. The government will be in the hands of an executive council of nine. Governor Foraker, of Ohio, is president, W. C. Wilson, a Cleveland lawyer, is secretary, and Geo. W. Dunn, an officer in the state treasurer's office at Columbus, O, is treasurer. Prof. E. F. Smith, of Wittenberg college, and Rev. Geo. D. Gotwald, of Salina, Kas., are also members of the Council. The fraternity is divided into four sections, the western section including Michigan, Missouri, Illinois and all west of the Mississippi. Resolutions commendatory of the manner in which Kansas Alpha has conducted the Shield were unanimously adopted and the Shield was confided to Kansas Alpha for another year. Its subscription price was raised to $1.25 a year.
The next G. A. C. will meet at Washington, D. C., in April, 1888, Governor Foraker is orator and Chas. S. Gleed is alternate orator. Robert Burdette is poet and Watson, of Ohio, is alternate. This province's convention will meet at Chicago, next April. Hallenbeck, of Michigan University, is undergraduate member of Ex. Council from this province. A great deal of business was accomplished, and this was undoubtedly the most important convention Phi Kappa Psi has ever held. The entire government of the fraternity was changed, and the initiation of preparatory students was forbidden
The delegates witnessed the Indiana state oratorical contest, won by Adams, of DePauw, who spoke on "Our Great Cities." He has a fine oration, with a tame close and a good manner, but rather poor voice. When Indiana University was called, two speakers rose and the friends of each made such a precious row that neither could be heard. It was more fun than a music box.
The convention closed with a grand banquet at the Bates, Friday night. Congressman Calkins, the last Republican candidate for governor, was toast master. Hon. Wm. Taylor, delivered the welcome, and the response was by Hon. John Griffiths, of Iowa alpha. His speech was the jewel of the evening. H. M. Watts, of Lafayette, Pa., read the poem, and the oration was by Hon. Ed E. Hendry, of Indiana. Toasts by Stoper, of Pennsylvania college, Hallenbeck, of Michigan, Little, of Kansas, and Hon. R. J. Murray, of Washington, finished the program.

The Seniors have handed in their orations, and with these valuable aids at hand, the appointments for Advertisement Day will be made. We have no doubt that the appointments will be pleasing to the whole class. However, we have one suggestion to make—the number of representatives appointed should be large. At least let the number be no less than fifteen. If more than fifteen pass the final examination, increase the representation. It will make the advertisement all the more attractive. Fifteen or more country papers will announce that some young lady or gentleman from their county has graduated from the University with the highest honors of the class. Long editorials will appear in praise of the University which sends forth such finished works of art, hewn from rough material.
Of course, if justice to the three or four Seniors really deserving appointments was to be considered, the case would be different; but so long as the object is to advertise the University, the number of speakers should be as great as possible. It is hoped that the length of program will not be considered an obstacle. The orations can be cut down to two or three hundred words (a speaker ought to do himself justice in an oration of that length), and then if the exercises are a little exhaustive, an intermission of ten or fifteen minutes can be given, which would be a very attractive feature.
--it gives Lawrence an undesirable reputation? Do you not know that the popularity of a town increases the value of every piece of property in it, and that unpopularity depreciates it? Do you not know there is an economy—the economy of stinginess—which is itself expensive, even to extravagance?
In reply to the communication from the Executive Committee inviting Washburn to engage with the University in a joint field day contest, the chairman of the Executive Committee writes: "When I reported to the association it was decided that we could not enter the contest. The main reason I think, was that we could not hope to contest with a moderate degree of success on account of having such a small number who could and would enter. Then, too, our average is quite young, giving us a disadvantage in development.
The offers you made in your letter are truly generous, and we thank you for them the same as though we accepted them."
We very much regret the action of
Washburn in declining to enter the proposed contest.
"Athletics at Washburn seem to be in rather a comatose condition and all efforts at awakening have so far proved abortive." The preceding sentence was recently applied by the Washburn Argo to the University. The tables now seem to be changed. When a contest of importance is proposed the proficiency of the Washburn athlete seems to be a matter of serious doubt.
If Washburn would take the interest in athletics that it evinces in boasting of its athletic prowess, it might become a formidable factor in the sports of the Kansas college.
The Merchants and the Students.
Do the Lawrence business men have any more interest in the University than they can grind out in trade? Do they have that much? It seems not.
While the two rival Couriers were tearing each other down instead of building each other up, the Lawrence business men said: "Stop your quarreling, harmonize your interests, and we will give you a liberal support. We cannot afford to patronize two weekly college papers, but will deal generously with one."
Stimulated by this pledge of support which would enable them to publish a large first class weekly, the students consolidated their papers. We have fulfilled our promises. The business men have broken theirs. The Courier has not received the advertising patronage since consolidation that either of its predecessors did before.
The merchants seem to laugh at the gullibility of the students in this matter. They meet our business managers week after week with a cynical smile which seems to say: "Well, can't you comprehend yet that you have been duped, you stupid, innocent biped? The legislature has refunded us the $100,000 we gave to your school, has appropriated $50,000 for a natural history building here, and you three hundred University fellows and your professors spend $100,000 a year with us. We get this money whether we advertise in your paper or not. So what are you going to do about it?"
Merchants of Lawrence, does this pay? Does it? Throwing aside the question of ethics, of your obligations to yourselves and to us to keep your promises—throwing this aside and putting it on a cold, calculating basis of dollars and cents, of gold, silver, copper and postage stamps, of grinding the last farthing of profit you can out of your wares at the least possible expense—putting it on this selfish ground even, does it pay? Do you think so? Admitting that you have the students foul, that we have to spend our money with you, and will spend every penny as much as we would if you kept your promises by giving us a liberal advertising support—admitting all thus for the sake of argument, think you that it pays? Do you?
Well, if you do, you are sadly mistaken. The students who come here are from families of property and influence. Their parents form their opinions of Lawrence from what their children tell them. And when the students go home and tell their folks how they have been treated, as they will and must, do you not know that
We feel like publishing the names of the merchants who promised us advertising patronage if we consolidated, and now refuse it. We may yet. Our remarks of course do not apply to all Lawrence business men. Field & Hargis, J. S. Crew, Abe Levy, Wm. Bromelsick, Wm. Wiedemann, E. C. Mull, Whitecomb Bros., Steinberg & Bro., Jacob House and several others we might name, have always shown the same generous liberality to college papers that they have to every public enterprise. A number of merchants are also temporarily out of our columns until they arrange their spring stocks. But others seem to have no interest in the University or its students whatever.
Nothing pains us more than to be obliged to speak thus frankly. Students have a warm side for Lawrence, which has become a secondary home to them. Socially few cities can boast nicer people. We only wish there was a more hearty and substantial recognition of the University by its business men. We hope to see change.
SAINTS AND SINNERS.
The most incorrigible nuisance in the University by all odds, is the fellow who never, by any mistake, converses on any subject that he don't ring in his fraternity. Now we have some excellent fraternities in the University—the pick of the Greek world—and some that are not the pick by several miles. Again, the chapters here have taken a high rank in their respective orders, as is evidenced by the fact that three of the fraternities have entrusted the publication of their magazines here, two fraternities have elected section chiefs from our University, and one has even honored our institution by electing a K. S. U. student to the Grand Chapter. All these are things to be proud of, and I like to see the Greeks so deeply interested in their societies. There is no earthly reason, however, why they should chat and prate about their fraternities every time they are spoken to. When a student does something extra these fellows never think to say, "See there, that is a University man." O, no! It is always, "That fellow is a Phi Gam," or "a Phi Psi," or "a Phi Delt." Now the Greeks are pretty familiar as to the membership of each other's orders, without special enlightenment, and the outside world don't care a copper what society a chap belongs to. Students don't seem to appreciate how tiresome, not to say disgusting, this braggadocio is. Imagine the Odd Fellows, for instance, going around town and continually calling the attention of the public to the fact that this wealthy merchant is an Odd Fellow; that a senator from North Carolina belongs to Lodge 1489, and that President Cleveland has just appointed an Odd Fellow to the court of Siam. I know several boys in almost every chapter here who are first rate company, barring this testable habit of harping on their fra-
territies to people who care nothing on earth about it.
As the fag end of commencement approaches, more and more students are prospecting for situations. The longer and more diligently they look, the more they will be surprised at the few eligible vacancies. A hint to these searchers may not be amiss. Make no applications by mere letter. If business men ever accord a written application the courtesy of a reply, it is only to say, "We are sorry to say we have no place vacant" (bosh); or "Your letter has been placed on file and will receive consideration should a vacancy arise" (buncombe). A party recently told me that he had spent two days writing letters of inquiry to officers whose names he took from a catalogue. With each letter he enclosed a stamp for a reply. Out of the batch he received some eight answers, not one of which conveyed any comforting information. When a letter goes on file it is past resurrection. Any hope that lies panting beneath the jeans vest of the applicant is doomed to disappointment. Men who need help don't employ those they have never seen. Too many capable fellows are continually pressing their claims in person, for employers to waste valuable time in a desultory correspondence with applicants abroad.
Probably more time, paper and ink are utterly thrown away on written "testimonials" and "recommendations" than upon any other kind of document on earth. A little "cheek" will secure a portfoho of glowing tributes for the most incompetent cad from people who are glad to rid themselves of the pest at so cheap a price. The cases are not few or far between where parties, after being discharged in disgrace, have been given excellent testimonials of character. Indeed, as a rule, the poorest stick will have the finest recommendations. Business men understand this and pay no attention to such missives unless they be from personal and trusted friends.
$$

Even if a student be thoroughly qualified for a work, there are three conditions necessary to his securing a place. First, a vacancy must exist. Second, it must come at the right time. Third, he must hear of it. In case good luck is on his side in these three particulars, he has yet a hard gauntlet to run. There will probably be a host of competitors, many as competent and mayhap with more experience than himself. In this emergency "influence" generally steps in to elect the man. Political or religious cant is invoked by many with great success, it is shameful to relate. Then the good word of a prominent friend or influential official is most sure to turn the scale. The poor but able applicant has a hard row to hold with such great odds against him.
*
The great complaint made against collegians is that they expect too much; that they expect to step into positions for which they have no special training, and secure as much salary as the men who have slowly climbed the ladder from the first round. This fault is in reality a fancied one, for as a rule the college man is broad enough to appreciate his own deficiencies. The average graduate is far more meek and humble than the carpers give him credit with being. He is willing to take whatever is offered, and trusts to his own powers for advancement. Nine times out of ten, he, in time overtops the chap whose whole education has hain in the rut of his special duties. But fancied or real, the fact that a college man is a college man is too often against him in the strife for positions. The wise individual will keep mum on his college record until his work in life has honored his Alma Mater. Sufficient to say, a college degree is not of much force in the business world; a college education is.

The Y. M. C. A. rooms are becoming a more delightful resort for students than ever. There is no more pleasant place in Lawrence where one can go to chat, to read or to amuse himself. Several new games have been added to the room. The religious exercises are largely attended, and the work is carried on with a vigor that shows it is not perfunctory. The Y. M. C. A. in Lawrence is an institution that pays for itself many times over. With our favorite old chancellor, Doctor Marvin, as president, and Burr as active manager of the concern, it could not be otherwise.
. .
In Barney McAuley's famous play he frequently recurring by-word is "Sit down, Smith." Well, "Smith" s ready to sit down.
With this issue, Saints and Sinners appears for the last time. Before the compositor shall have finished his weekly cussing over the proof, "Smith" will be hundreds of miles away. Having been on the Courier from the first issue; having filled every position known to college journalism—set type, deviled advertisers, written ponderous and senseless editorials, dished up locals and rehashed time-honored personals, ran after copy, worried the opera house manager for comps, dunned delinquent subscribers, written views against the fraternity system and signed them "Barb," held exciting interviews with the chancellor in his private office, bored regents for appropriations, abused the printer and turned the press wheels—having had this somewhat varied experience, it would perhaps be in order to give a little advice on "how to run a college paper." But I wont. That is one of the things every editor has to learn for himself.
I presume the Sinners will be mglee, and the Saints bathed in tears at the news of my departure. I have tried to say what I believed, without reference to what anybody else thought about it. Several sensitive, squeamish and sanctimonious souls have at times become irate over little squibs in these columns. Is the game worth the candle? Perhaps not. But to make a readable paper, one must sacrifice personal friendship and emilities to honest opinion.
I feel more than repaid for a work which has brought me into contact with so many agreeable people, and made me so many splendid friends. If my readers have had the same fun out of it that I have, I am well content. Good bye Saints! Good bye Sinners! Smith.

Students' Accommodations. We noticed on glancing through the column of one of our city papers an article signed "An Observer," calling attention to the misuse of college journalism in speaking of the accommodation of students in this city.
He states that before articles appeared demanding a little more than poor coffee, potatoes and hard tack for breakfast, hog and hominy for dinner, and tea and crackers for supper, at the exceedingly low rate of $4.00 per week; that the University was full of students, but that it is now evident that the University is losing its former standard, and will ultimately result in our professors talking to empty lecture rooms, etc.
If that was the case, which every student knows is far from the truth, as the University is steadily increasing in numbers and standard of scholarship, would that not be better than our professors preaching to walking skeletons and dyspeptic beings, caused by the sustenance of life afforded by some of our housekeepers, of whose ranks it appears our "Observer" is one.
He attributes the cause of this loss of his pocketbook reimburser to a certain professor whom he claims started the idea of clubs among the students some years ago. Every student will admit that a better quality and a larger quantity of food can be obtained in this manner than by boarding at the class of boarding houses of which my "Observer" is undoubtedly a "runner." He claims that the college journals send the impression far and wide that Lawrence is engaged in a little business of fleecing students. Far from it. The students of K. S. U. have always spoken in the highest terms of the people who show by their actions that they appreciate the students and have some regard for their welfare. As the honorable "Observer" states, for years many questions concerning the University and students have been discussed mostly to the seclusion of the city papers. We are aware of that fact, and she has gotten along remarkably well without dabbling into 'her politics.' Therefore, I hope that our college journals will still continue to uphold and promote the welfare of the students.
ONE WHO KNOWS.
Not long ago one of our city papers ridiculed the taste of some of our University boys who sought to display the graceful shape of their lower "limbs" by wearing knee breeches. We think the criticism decidedly coarse. For our own part we very much admire the taste of our fore-fathers, and would like to see their style of knee breeches more generally worn by our boys. If it would not be adding too much to their already aesthetic appearance, we would decorate them with mortarboards or plug hats. Besides the good taste—which alone is argument enough to induce our boys to wear knickerbockers—the question of utility enters into the case. Many a pair of "high-water" pants, which would otherwise have been cast aside as useless, can now by slight abbreviations become the prevailing fashion. Let us not give up the cherished style of our revolutionary fathers. X.
THE COLLEGE WORLD.
The University of Nebraska will send quite a delegation to the interstate contest held here.
The prize in English composition was taken by a Chinaman at Yale.
"Papa, have guns got legs? No."
"No."
"How do they kick, then?"
"With their breeches, my son."
At Alleghany College the holiday has been changed from Saturday to Monday. Considerable dissatisfaction has been express at the change.
The most remunerative professorship in the world is that of Prof, Turner, the distinguished anatomist of Edinburgh, which yields $20,000 per year.
England has 5,000 students in her two universities; Scotland has 6,500 university students; Germany, 23, -500; New England, 4.000.
It is said that the Presidents of both Williams and Yale are suffering with broken arms; one from a fall on the ice, the other from a fall off a bicycle.
The University of Heidelberg will celebrate the five hundredth anniversary of its existence next August. A hall, capable of holding 5,000 persons, will be erected for the occasion.
Among the great Americans who have expended their youthful talents in editing college papers, are the poets Holmes and Willes, the statesmen Evarts and Everett, and the eloquent divine, Phillips Brooks.
Students of Leavenworth chartered a car to take them to Topeca. — Hesperian. The editor must have made a mistake, the State Pen. is at Leavenworth, but the State University is at Lawrence, and we have not become so desirous of benefiting humanity as to send a car full of prisoners to the state contest.
We should like to have the Kansas University explain why it is that their most august faculty sits on evening meetings of the literary societies of that institution. It is our opinion that if we wanted to have a literary society in the evening, the representative of the Hesperian would be there every time.—Hesperian.
The representative would be there no doubt, and so would other people who have nothing else to do, and are attracted by the idea of seeing a free exhibition, but to those who really care for literacy training and are desirous of getting the most out of it, afternoon meetings are just as good as evening meeting.
The magnitude of the plans of Senator Stanford's great University in California, may be comprehended by comparison with other institutions of the country. The endowment is understood to be the round sum of $20,000,000, while Harvard has funds aggregating $4,803,938, with an income of $241,825; Johns Hopkins University $3,437,000; Columbia luxuriates with $5,866,000; Amherst has about 1,000,000, while Cornell owns $2,267,561. The aggregate value of all property in the United States, in the report of the Commissioner of Education for 1882-'83, was only $90,000,000. Mr. Stanford proposes that his institution shall not be inferior to any in this country or in Europe.

Some day the suffering students will rise in their righteous wrath, and then there will be trouble. There is a limit to our endurance.
Orophilian society presented an interesting program last Friday. Jos. Rolston presided Mr. Street delivered an oration on the silver question. Extemporaneous speeches were made by H. Ballenger and J.

F. Doran and J. Beatty; for the negative M. Halligan and Mr. Squires. The decision of the judges was in favor of the negative.

A large audience greeted Joseph Cook on Tuesday evening. At the request of the audience the subject of the lecture was changed to "The Seven Modern Wonders of the World." We regret that we cannot place the lecture before our readers. It was full of rare gems of thought. The Seven Modern Wonders, in the opinion of the speaker, are Rapidity of Travel and Communication of Thought, The Awakening of Hermit Nations, The Parallel Advance of Education and Representative Government, Prospective Moral Alliance of Nations, Triumph of Christianity in the Nineteenth Century, Current Fulfillment of Prophecy, and Scientific Supernaturalism.
In the March number of the Drogists' Journal are two articles from the pens of University students. "Natural Gas at Wyandotte, Kansas," by R. L. McAlpine, is full of useful information. The writer says: "About a dozen wells have been bored by different parties in Wyandotte and vicinity, all of which yield gas in greater or less quantities. Some of these wells have been put to practical use. A flour mill is run very satisfactorily by the gas; also a pressed brick works, a planing mill and a number of other works which require steam power or heat, and at each place it is a success." The other article is by C. Wyler, on the subject "Pasteur and Hydrophobia," is quite as meritorious.

There is a tendency among college students to overlook a man's failings in scholarship and ability, if he be what is called a "good fellow." Thus it often happens that men, though not really deserving, are given places of honor and distinction, while faithful students and hard workers receive no notice whatever at the hands of their fellow students. We do not wish to depreciate good fellowship, or to speak even a word against it, but we believe that it is wrong to favor it at the expense of more substantial qualities. Aside from the injustice mentioned above, too great regard for mere good fellowship injures at times even the "good fellows" themselves. The desire for popularity is common to all. And if a man sees that it can be easily obtained through this medium, why, certes, he adopts it, setting aside
sterner and harder ones. Again, it is but a step from such "good fellowship" to inactivity and laziness; and scarcely more than two steps to dissipation and debauchery. And here we make another great mistake. We kindly draw over faults and vices this vail of good fellowship, and let them pass without a word of censure.
Good fellowship among college students means something more than mere willingness to enjoy ones self or to promote the enjoyment of others at the expense of time and money. It means something more than generosity and open-heartedness. It means that combination of social and intellectual qualities which makes a true and refined gentleman; which gives breadth of mind and tenderness of heart. Its badge is not for men destitute of scholarly ability, nor for idle men, and least of all for men of dissolute and debauched habits.
In this connection there is a sentence from the pen of George William Curtis well worth quoting. He says:
Yes, the tradition of college is good fellowship; but good fellowship is an intellectual air and amid scholarly associations.

There is a place for every one, and every one should be in his or her place. It may be that the proper place for a Freshman is in the Junior or Senior class, yet the evidence goes to show that he belongs elsewhere. The Freshman who, ambitious to study something practical or, perhaps, anxious to rank as a high class

student, leaves his proper work and attempts Junior or Senior studies, does himself a great injustice. He may be able to recite the lessons of the text-book with accuracy, yet lacking the discipline of mind supposed to be acquired in earlier collegiate work, he will be wholly unable to trace the knowledge of the text-book to wider and more useful generalizations. He derives little benefit from such studies. In the meantime his distaste for lower studies is increasing and the probabilities are that if he ever completes them it will be in a very hasty and slip-shod manner. Too many students pass through college in just this way, receiving only half pay for their time.
There is another consideration which should be observed. Justice to the higher classes suggests that they should not be impeded by those who are not fitted for the work.
There are instances to be sure, of Freshmen and Sophomores able to pursue the studies of higher classes with profit. But such instances are rare. The present regulations provide for such instances by permitting students, with the advice and consent of the professor in charge, to pursue higher studies. It is a delicate matter for a professor to pronounce judgment on the mental capacity of the student, yet it should be done, invidious as it may seem. A lack of decision on the part of the professor in charge often causes an endless amount of trouble for himself as well as great injury to his classes.
Incidents and Accidents.
If the fellow who told me where I could get a good shave will call at my office it will save me the necessity of hunting for him. I went to the barber shop which he recommended—may the Saints forgive me! From his description I supposed that the razors in that shop were as sharp as the good sword Baldur, at the very sight of which a man would be cleft in twain. But I was mistaken; the razor was not quite so sharp as Baldur, although I'll venture to say that it didn't lack an eighth of an inch of it. Well, I took my place in the chair—it was a good chair, a little sway-backed, and rather triangular, but the head rest was firm—and the barber began operations. I knew I was about to get a good shave. I could tell from the ease and perfect air of sang froid with which he applied the lather. I was just about to make remarks to that effect. In fact, I had the first word out, and had the second well on the way to daylight, when it was inundated by a flood of lather. I thanked the barber, and said I would not have my teeth shaved that evening. He resumed. A few left handed strokes on the bovine epidermis attached to the chair brought the razor to a focus, and sans ceremony he applied the same to my face. The first stroke extended from ear to chin, and was as light and smooth as a tallow candle gliding over one's face. It was a master stroke, but a glance into the mirror revealed the fact that he had only scraped off the lather, without cutting a hair. A second attempt was more successful. The razor worked; it took hold, so to speak. I was much pleased; tears of joy came to my eyes, and the very hairs of my head stood erect, ready to be cut down again. The ecstacy of the next fifteen minutes beggars
description; suffice it to say that the fifteen minutes in question ended—in less than an hour's time—and I was ready for the finishing touches. After slipping a few pints of lather down inside my collar, and after giving my face a reactionary friction with a sand paper towel, the barber produced his spray bath apparatus. A bath of spray on one's face when smarting from the cuts and contumelies of an unfeeling razor, is a balm of Gilead, a solace and a joy. It covers a multitude of tonsorial sins—this time it covered more than that. The nozzle shipped from the end of the tube, and the etherial spray shot for my left eye like a ramrod from a gun barrel. It was only a slight mistake, so I winked at it. For certain reasons I concluded to comb my hair myself. The boot black gave me a good shine, and I came away thankful. I believe Ed Blair was the man who recommended that tonsorial art gallery to me. If you see him, send him around to my office.
P. S. Send an undertaker.
I fear this color question can never be settled. The negroes are not growing any whiter, and they seem to object to white people becoming any blacker. It was only a few nights since that two of our most popular students, with love in their hearts and chalk in their eyes, attempted to bridge over this chasm which separates the two races, by waiving the point of color and appearing in cooko negro, draped in lamp black. Their hair was curled in the most approved fashion, and there seemed to be no reason why they should not be received into the first ranks of colored society. To be sure, the rear sides of their necks and ears were a little white; yet, altogether, it was a fair compromise. But despite all their efforts at a adjustment of the social lines, they were unsuccessful. One of the boys had commenced a neat little flirtation with a handsome brunette, and the other was just engaging the attention of a blushing Creole on his left, when a small boy of color sitting some seats behind interrupted proceedings. "Look heah, you white trash, wat you doin up heah? Youaint no niggers; better black yourears next time." At this the older negroes gathered around and insisted that the boys in appearing that way—without their ears properly blackened—was a breach of etiquette which could not be passed unnoticed. They even threatened to send the boys down—head first—to get more blacking. The boys very cheerfully acceded to their demands and went down, however, without the usual ceremonies of departure. We are not informed as to whether they got the blacking demanded or not. On that same evening about eleven o'clock a friend of the interested parties stepped down to the kitchen of his boarding place and said, "Burney and Lewis would like some soap.

Wherever I go in Kansas and get to talking about the University—and I am pretty apt to talk about the University wherever I go—I find that our institution is better and more favorably known through Prof. Canfield than through any other channel. Prof. Snow has a wide reputation,
but his reputation is better known than he is. Prof. Williams is of course an oracle among the pedagogues the state over. But Prof. Canfield is a man of the people, has ideas of his own, and knows how to express them in plain, fresh and vigorous English, with considerable humor thrown in for seasoning. He does not make the University an adjunct to his church; does not turn his toes in and roll his eyes up in an effort to exhibit his own ultra-right-eousness. His lectures are on subjects of practical interest, which he has studied and knows how to impart in a sprightly fashion. Prof. Canfield is a popular man, and helps to make the University popular.

The doctrine of total deprivation since my tonorsial experience has one more advocate. Another instance of diabolical meanness has attracted my attention, and adds another link to the chain of evidence which shows that all men are desperately wicked. The case is this: There are two suitors; one is a Sophomore—no stick—and the other a brilliant headed Freshman. The Sophomore, who is quite a musician, had been intending to serenade his lady love one night this week but was detained at his room. The Freshman, hearing of this, determined to profit by the occasion. He could not sing a note, but could yell like an Apache Indian. Taking an accomplice with him he stations himself beneath the window of his lady love and pours his mournful howlings upon the evening zephyrs. Such wailing discord was never heard before in Christian lands. It is needless to say that his lady love was completely disgusted, and when his accomplice, shouting the Sophomore's name said it was time to go, the wicked Freshman retired in fiendish glee, knowing that he had done his rival an irreparable injury. O tempora! O mores! ad quem jinem effrenata audacia juctabit sese?

The attraction of a colored baptism is powerful. The truth of this statement was proven last Sunday. Over four thousand people gathered to see—pardon the expression—the show. On both shores of the river was gathered a curious, expectant crowd. All were anxious to see. Some were in boats; some on logs tied to the bank; the shore was lined; the bank was crowded; behind, a freight train on the side track furnished popular seats; the peaks of neighboring shops were in demand, while reserves on Wilder's shirt factory were at a premium. Such a motley, heaving, shoving crowd had not been seen since Noah loaded up the ark. Upon the walls below the mill were reporters, students, and a background of about five hundred darkies. Our blonde Sophomore, mounting the framework of the out-door machinery, stood out in bold relief, while a freshman with incandescent head illuminated the lower strata of society. It was a sight worth seeing. The ceremonies of the hour were conducted with due solemnity by the worthy pastor of the colored flock. It was only when a refractory candidate refused to sink, that an audible smile escaped the throats of the small boys. The pleasant faces of the throng as they returned from the river showed that it was good to be there.

JOTTINGS.
BY THE MEN ABOUT COLLEGE.
A certain element of unfairness in the inter-state oratorical contest appears to me on investigation of the ages and experience of the various competitors. There is an astonishing disparity in age between some of the contestants, as much as ten or twelve years. Side by side in the great contest will stand the beardless youth of oneteen and the married man of thirty. For instance, Kansas will be represented by a typical college student. While Ohio sends a contestant who has already graduated from one college, has practiced law for several years, been a political stump speaker, married a wife and is the father of two children. Of course Ohio has a right to send a man of fifty if she wishes, under the present regulation; but is this giving an exhibition of college oratory to allow lawyers and ministers to take part in the contest? I think not. To have the best possible contest, the contestants should be as nearly matched as possible; and to do this, professional men who happen to be under-graduates, should be prohibited from competing. Thus we would have a fair contest of students; but if the old men must have a contest, let the association be divided into two sections, so that the immaturity of younger men would not have to battle with the more fully developed powers of the old men.

Some years since an annual prize for the best essay was offered by a generous Lawrence citizen, and this being the only prize essay contest, was participated in with great interest by the students; but it seems the faculty didn't think there was advertising enough in an essay contest, and have transferred the prize to some declaratory or oratorical contest, leaving the University without an essay contest throughout the course. This seems hardly wise, for it is better to be able to express one's thoughts so they will read well than merely so that they will sound well. Let us have some inducement to lay aside the deceits and flower of oratory, and write our thoughts in plain language. It is to be hoped that some essay prize will be offered this year, so as to give those a chance who can write better than they can speak.
Rumors are rife that a new semi-secret society has been organized among a few of the students. Though community of interest has bound together for some time those who are members, yet it has never been publicly announced that the membership had reached aggressive and offensive proportions. The members have decided not to wear any visible badge, yet their presence is not imperceptible to any one having full possession of all of the five senses. The title of the society is "The Anti-Bath Organization." If it increases sufficiently in size and importance I will give the names of the officers, executive committee and members, very soon, for the enlightenment and protection of the general public.

A very poor audience assembled in the chapel Tuesday evening to hear Prof. MacDonald's lecture on Ruskin. It was one of the best lectures we have had this year, and the manner in which the subject was presented showed that he had given it very careful study. As is usually the case with a good lecture, but few people were present. Yet we cannot blame them, since the standard of our lecture course is so low. If we could have a few good lectures like this one in place of so many poor ones, a larger attendance would be assured.
The treatment of our boys at Baker University was disgraceful in the extreme. We mean nothing against the ball club, for they were gentlemen—evidently the only ones on the ground. This department of the Courier has always had an idea that "Smith" was too hard on the Bakerites in the "Saints and Sinners," but now we believe he was not severe enough, for such a howling, screeching, hissing mob of kids, such as composed the audience last Friday, would disgrace a reform school. If they were not students, we beg the Baker University's pardon; but if they were, then we extend our sincere sympathy to Baker ball club.
The K. S. U. ball club played their first match game of this season with the Baker club, at Baldwin, last Friday. The game was interesting and close throughout, some good playing being done by both sides. Hickey's batting was especially noticed as good. Tomlin's catching, Neal's pitching and good base-men made the game hotly contested for by the Baldwins. At nine innings the score stood six to six, to be played out in the near future. The following composed the K. S. U, nine:
Tomlin, C.; McBride, 1st b.;

We notice that a colony of fourteen ladies have gone from Wichita to Leoti, all having claims in Wichita Co. When we remember that our ever gallant friend Will Little is at Leotti, the reason for this emigration is quite apparent.
The statutes of the state of California provides that no liquor shall be sold within one mile of the State University. The law is a good one. It insures tranquil slumbers for the faculty, and a healthful amount of exercise for the boys
Efforts are being made to organize an inter-state athletic association. Washburn has already expressed her willingness to enter such an organization, and we expect equally favorable answers from the other colleges. The move is a good one and should receive the hearty support of all students. If there is anything in which the colleges of Kansas are deficient it is in advantages and inducements for physical culture. Every movement calculated to improve these conditions should be heartily encouraged.
When you hear a report calculated to injure someone's reputation, be slow to believe it and slower still to spread the report. The person who is wholly above reproach is the slowest to believe evil of others. If somebody is guilty of a great moral or social crime, do not consider it your duty to make the matter more public in order to right the evil. Rest assured that enough and too much will be known for the good of either the unfortunate party or the general public. The persons who can hear a scandalous report and say nothing of it are few, yet they are the kind of people most beneficial to the community.
Missouri has always considered herself superior to Kansas, and points with peculiar pride to such heroes as Jesse James and Cole Younger. But Kansas is coming rapidly to the front. On Monday morning some strikers on the Missouri Pacific, near Wyandotte, succeeded in wrecking a freight train and killing two men. Had the passenger train been running on time it would have suffered the fate of the freight train, and two hundred instead of two persons
might have been killed. Such efforts as this should receive proper credit. It shows that Missouri and Kansas are becoming more united. Over the chasm of sectional strife they can reach the hand of fellowship and exclaim: "We, truly, are of one blood!"
Lawrence, like all great cities, has a remarkable police force. They are very formidable in times of peace, but in times demanding action are never to be found. Not long since a gentleman, walking with a lady along Massachusetts street, was compelled to push to one side a dry goods box which had been thrown in his way by some one in front of him. The policeman, perhaps two hastily aroused from lethane meditations to fully comprehend the situation, hastily grasped the unoffending gentleman and caused him no small amount of annoyance. This blunder is perhaps equal to the one which they made two years ago, when, after sitting on the corner and watching two hundred students celebrate the victory of our orator at the state contest, they attempted to arrest the three students who had remained to watch the fire.
On next Thursday evening the inter-state oratorical contest will be held in the University chapel. This is only one of the many honors conferred upon the educational institutions of Kansas. Kansas has been noted for her material resources and her salubrious climate. In this as Kansans we have had reason to rejoice. But in nothing do we take more pleasure than in the fact that we have abundant educational facilities, and that these facilities are so employed as to receive recognition and honor at the hands of sister states.
As students of the University, which is especially distinguished, we may, perhaps, be permitted to indulge a pardonable pride. Yet we do not wish to make this a University affair. The University is only one representative of Kansas colleges and can not appropriate all honor to herself; neither can she be expected to represent all the colleges of Kansas in the inter-state contest. We expect large delegations from all the colleges of our State association to be present and assist in giving the delegates from the colleges of our sister states a right royal welcome.
So long as strikers are permitted to destroy property with impunity, or only light punishment, there will be plenty of men ready and eager to display their communistic cussness. To be sure we have laws providing for the punishment of such crimes, but they need to be enforced. No law, it is said, is stronger than the sentiment behind it. It becomes then the duty of every citizen to use his influence to build up a strong sentiment in this direction. The destroyers of millions of dollars of property, the authors of untold misery and want, murderers of their fellow men, should receive no light punishment. Judge Brewer in a recent paper said: "The law should be not only in theory, but also in administration, a terror to evil doers. I believe in the virtue and value of punishment; it is wholesome for the individual and beneficial to society. The tinninabulation of your mother's slipper on that part of the body in which the spinal column has, in the language of the railroad men, its terminal facilities, may not have been music for the present, but a sweet song for the future."
VIEWS.
It may seem a trivial matter to speak of the distaste on the part of our students for attending chapel, but nevertheless I can not refrain. Why is it that so few of our students make it a point to attend chapel every morning? Not long ago I had the privilege of displaying my oratorical powers in chapel, and while waiting my turn I could not but notice the meagre representation of students. Scattered here and there over the chapel were perhaps one-fifth of the students—a full estimate of the number who make a practice of attending morning services. Many of our students disregard chapel altogether, preferring to loiter in the halls in idle conversation, rather than to add the charm of their presence at chapel. There are many reasons why every student should try and form the habit of regular chapel attendance. It is a mark of respect to our fellow students who deliver rhetoricals from the chapel rostrum; for there is nothing like the stamp of approval which presence will give. It is not at all encouraging for a speaker to discourse to a house full of empty seats. A large number of students gathered in the morning add volume to the music, and makes one feel it a pleasure to be present. By all means let us attend chapel. I will be a benefit to ourselves and will show a respect for others.
College Journalism.
In looking over old files of college papers and magazine articles, I have collected considerable information on the subject of college journalism, that may be of interest to the general reader.
The first college paper was started at Dartmouth College in the year 1800. Daniel Webster, in 1803, contributed a series of articles for the Gazette, for such was its name. The Gazette was of short life, on account of financial embarrassment.
The oldest college journal now in existence is the Yale Literary Magazine, which was founded in 1836. Yale had several papers before that time, but they were all short lived and full of trouble. Several of Yale's best men held positions on the "Lit." and an election as editor is regarded as one of the highest honors of Yale life. Among its editors who afterward became known throughout the country may be mentioned Senator Evarts, Donald G. Mitchell, President Gilman, ex-Senator Ferry, President Andrew D. White and others. Oliver Wendell Holmes and James Russell Lowell also began their literary career on a college paper—the Harvard Lyceum.
Harvard has a greater variety of journals than any college in America. The Lampoon is said to be the only college "Puck" in the world. It was started in 1876, and in a very short time became quite popular and well known. It is now one of the recognized "funny papers" of the country. The advances in college journalism have been wonderful. Fifty years ago only four or five college papers were in existence; now we have over two hundred and fifty, edited and controlled by the students. There is hardly a first class high school now that does not boast of its "paper," and many a cross-road school house has agitated the subject of starting one. As late as 1868 no college could boast of a weekly paper, while
now there are not only weeklies but semi-weeklies and dailies. Another important advance is in the amount of control exercised over the paper by the faculty or governing body. To-day a college paper cannot and ought not to be placed in the first class if the faculty exercise or can exercise any control over it. Another important advance is in the amount of news now printed in the college papers. Formerly they were filled with long, dry, uninteresting articles which no one but the writer read; now they contain all the latest college news, and the opinions of the students on every question up before them. A well conducted college paper is a sure index of the feelings of the students. An eastern professor says the college paper is the "outstanding member of the college faculty."
One thing in college papers I notice with regret, and that is the tendency to abolish the exchange column. To me it is one of the most interesting columns in the paper. It makes us acquainted with general college news; shows us what other colleges are doing and how they are doing it; it promotes friendship among the colleges and among men of learning, and it is of service to higher education, in showing how the different colleges are governed.
An alumni column, as some of our papers have, I believe to be a most excellent thing. It keeps students acquainted with the graduates, and graduates with other graduates. A personal column of any kind is of great advantage to a college paper.
Incidents and Accidents.
MARX.
The man who can slip down in an inch of mud on a stone crossing and enjoy it as much as the by-standers is either a fool or a philosopher—probably the former. So we are not surprised to see our friends, who are so unfortunate as to receive some attention in Incidents and Accidents, gather themselves up hardly knowing who to blame most, themselver or the persons looking on.
One of the Baldwin students was in town the other day. His conduct was such as should demand investigation on the part of the authorities at Baker. Why, he even ate at the same table with a Courier editor! If this reaches the faculty he will be expelled at once.
**
Before the next issue of the Courier the city will be crowded with visitors from other colleges, come to attend the Inter-State Contest. Let us give them a hearty welcome. Let us kill the fatted calf—I know where there is a good one.
Of course we expect Crane will win. In fact he must. The whole program is made out and we cannot be disappointed. Just as soon as the decision is rendered we will telephone to Abe Levy and Max Strauss who will set their stores on fire. So by the time we reach Massachusetts St., the bon-fire will be well started. I guess one block will be enough to burn this time. Of course we will have to give Crane an honorary position. It has been suggested that we tie him to the flag staff on Lies' Drug Store, from which position he
can view the building burning be neath with little danger of taking cold.
The friendship of college students is fearful to experience. My attention is called to this even now, as I write. One of my friends just stepped in and reminded me of his undiminished affection, with a slap on the back which would have done honor to Jim Mace or Sullivan. This is only one illustration of the general collegiate spirit. A rather cool friendship only calls for a grip that will make the bones crack. If the parties are better acquainted, a good slap on the shoulder is more appropriate. If their course of true love runs with remarkable smoothness, anything less than a good slag in the back would be called cool and unfaternal. We expect that before long, as this manner of salutation becomes developed, it will be nothing uncommon to see gentlemen friends striking each other over the heads with canes as a slight token of mutual regard and friendship.
The collection of images and busts in the Greek room is worthy of careful study. As one views these almost perfect images of the gods and heroes he is quite overcome with the feeling that he is in the presence of something not of this earth. No one but a thoroughly classical student can appreciate these masterpieces of Grecian art. The works in question represent a group of gods, heroes and other noted individuals, who, after attending a banquet, have just returned home through a pouring rain. There is Phoebus Apollo; how lifelike! Notice that blister on his face. He evidently had been suffering with the tooth-ache. And here is Socrates; how grand in his simplicity!
Through the mists of doubt—and charcoal, kindly supplied by some Freshman—which obstructs his vision, he seems to see the dawn of a higher civilization. Upon his left stands Homer. Note the ink on the end of his nose. Who but a Grecian artist would have faithfully presented every detail? And here too, we see a fighting Gaul. What valor! With one arm broken off at the elbow, he still battles with unflinching courage. But why should I say more. To enjoy art, you must see it with your own eyes.
It is often said that much learning makes men absent minded, and it often proves true. An amusing illustration of this fact occurred recently, when a certain one of our professors who is acquiring a great reputation for his extensive scholarship and deep erudition boarded a street car. He was about to pay his fare when a lady handed him a quarter for him to get changed and pay her fare. Absorbed in deep meditation as is his wont, he mechanically took the change from the driver, dropped twenty cents in the box and put the other five in his pocket. The lady was considerably astonished, but understanding the situation, said nothing and from that day to this the worthy professor probably never knew how he cheated his fellow passenger out of twenty cents. Perhaps upon reading this he may remember and make restitution.

Dr. Holmes and Mr. Lowell are to make a trip to Europe together this spring. They will sail next month. How very suggestive of good things this is. It is fifty-one years since Dr. Holmes visited the Old World. He was then a young medical student, caring more for physics than for poetry.
The President of the United States, Grover Cleveland, never attended a college of any kind. The acting Vice-President, John Sherman, is a graduate of the common schools of Ohio.
