The latest novelty in jewelry consists of a curious and effective phrevoilier that has been known in Egypt for the past eighteen centuries, and worn as a charm by ladies and gentlemen. The name of this prosperity-bringing talisman is "Oudja," signifying luck and happiness, and it shows the eyes of Horus, from which a teardrop flows, intended to represent the river Nile. The peculiar property of the "Oudja" is to bring good luck; but the Pharoahs looked upon it as an emblem not only capable of warding off adversity, but also of having a large influence over the goodly yielding of the earth, containing as it does, the main principles and fertility, that is, fire, represented by the sun Horus, and water flowing as the Nile. The charming little amulet is being adopted by many members of the aristocracy in Paris and London, and is presented by friends to one another with the graceful wishes used on such occasions, to such an extent that no person with a particle of superstition will exist without his or her "Oudja."

N. Y. Graphic.-There was hardly standing room in the Fifth Avenue theatre last night when the curtain was rung up on Mr. and Mrs. George S. Knight's new edition of "Over the Garden Wall." The piece is a combination of songs, dances and laughable sayings, divided into three acts, very cleverly fitted together, as interpreted by Mr. and Mrs. Knight. It is one of the most amusing absurdities imaginable, and kept the house in continuous laughter for nearly three hours. An old theatre goer remarked at the end of the performance, "It is without exception the best entertainment of the kind I ever saw." And he was right. There is enough fun condensed into the piece to satisfy the most cynical, and as an antidote for melancholy it "knocks out" anything in the drug shop. See it for yourself.

The Ladies Win.
When the appointments made by the faculty of the University for commencement day were announced, there was much disgust among the young ladies of the class over the fact that only one of the six was a lady, and that the lucky ones were chosen by the faculty as a matter of personal preference, and not as a reward for scholarship or oratorical ability. The class day program is selected by a vote of the members of the class, and the election was ordered for 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. The young ladies did not go home for dinner, but remained at the University while the sterner sex were satisfying their appetites, and held a caucus.
The class is evenly divided between the sexes, but two of the boys were away and the girls had the majority. In a manner worthy of any political caucus, they fixed their slate and when the meeting was called to order at once took charge. Their whole slate was triumphantly elected, much to the disgust of the boys, who did not know whether to laugh or get mad. But it is settled now, and the young men must "grin and bear it." The program selected in such a charming manner is as follows:
Salutatorian, Evelyn Smith.

The meeting of the delegates on the Inter-State Association met yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. Parker. The report on credentials was made by the committee. The committee reported Mr. Harrison as delegate from Indiana but was objected to by Mr. Stack barger, who claimed to represent that state. After a few words by the gentleman from Iowa, the delegate from Ohio moved that the report be adopted, but the motion was objected to. The motion was then made that the report be adopted excepting the report on Indiana. It was moved that a committee of three be appointed by the chair to consider the respective rights of the two contestants from Indiana; motion lost. The convention then resolved itself into a com of the whole to take action on the case. It was moved and carried that each gentleman be allowed to state his grounds for claiming the place. After a squabble as to which should be the plaintiff and which the defendant, it was agreed to hear Mr. Harrison first. Mr. Ha.rison then read a statement signed by the principal officer of the Indiana association which placed his claims in a very good light. After a severe cross questioning by several members, Mr. Harrison was allowed to step out, and Mr. Stackbarger was placed on the witness stand. At his request the secretary read a letter written by Shaw, vice president of the Indiana Association, which pleaded his cause. Mr. Starkbarger also made a speech. The discussion then became general, and after a great deal of college eloquence it was moved that the committee rise and report that the convention recognize no delegate from Indiana. The motion was amended to read that when they arise they report Mr. Harrison as the recognized delegate. This turned loose another discussion which lasted until almost 5 o'clock when a vote was taken resulting favorably to Mr. Harrison. The president then took the chair, and on motion a committee was appointed to draw up an order of business. After their report* the president appointed the following committees:
Constitution, Russell, Gilmore and Pellet.
Admission of states, Ward, Lovell and Harrison.
Time and place of holding next contest, Spencer, Cross and Dennison.
Resolutions, Glover, Millegan and Randall.
The convention then accepted the invitation to attend the banquet, after which an adjournment was taken until this morning at 8 o'clock.
THE WINNING ORATION.
CONSERVATISM, AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF PROGRESS.
E. C. BITSHER, Beloit College, Beloit, Wisconsin
The nineteenth century has been a century of wonders. Prodigies have marked her onward course. The mechanical appliances of ages have been revolutionized. The most stubborn forces have yielded to man.
The present generation seeks new worlds to conquer. It penetrates the social and moral life of man and their endeavors to rival the material world in startling revolutions. This invasion of unknown regions calls together men of energy and character, but it also gathers its reckless adventurers. Vandals have arisen in the very realms of thought, wielding their intellectual weapons with ruthless hands. They cry out against those who counsel moderation. They declare war on what they call the bigotry of the past. To avoid conservatism they leap into fanaticism. Determined to reform society by a single stroke, they bid defiance to reason and produce their legitimate fruits—Socialism, Nihilism and Rebellion. Is there truth in their doctrines? Is there method in their madness? Let the horrors of the French Revolution be your answer!
If we pause to examine the facts in the case, we find no truth in the cry of these Philistines. No yawning gulf separates the conservatives from the reformers. Their ultimate aim is the same. They differ only in their methods. The conservative people of the world are not bigots. They are not the enemies of progress. They grasp the truth with unerring mind. They strive for its success with loyal hearts. The difference between the conservative man and the so-called reformer is a difference not of heart but of brain. It is the difference between the practical man and the theoretical man.
The radical reformer acts in view of the ideal, rather than the actual world. He believes that a certain thing is right and that all else is wrong; and he says, "Give me the right or give me nothing." He believes that he is entitled to the whole loaf, and he proposes to have the whole loaf or starve. The smallest portion of truth suffices so to engage his attention that he forgets everything else, and becomes blind to all that is not comprised within the narrow horizon of his belief.
These men have an idea, a plan, a theory, and mounting the lofty platform of "principle," they defiantly proclaim their ideas and proceed to attack the fixed institutions of centuries before they have secured the means of success. They do not consider that success in human affairs is not to be obtained by such absolute proceedings or by a mere appeal to philosophical argument. They do not consider that they deliberately insult the intelligence and common sense of their fellow-men. It does take principle and it does take courage to pursue such a course, but we are placed in the world to accomplish something—not merely to make martyrs of ourselves. And while we must admire the pluck of the so-called reformers, we can not but condemn their judgment. We cannot fail to see that their methods are futile and fraught with danger.
The truly conservative men, on the contrary, realize that man must be dealt with not as an ideal being, but as he is. They realize that tact must be exercised in human affairs. They appreciate the fact that the politic, like the human body, must develop strength and energy by slow, sure process—that all abnormally rapid growth is but the symbol of decay. These men take no narrow, visionary view of a subject, but grasping at once and as a whole the matter which comes to their notice, they so calculate, arrange and combine the conflicting elements, that while the everlasting principle is placed boldly forward so as not to be mistaken, care is taken that it shall not be endangered by a negligent or rash estimate of the circumstances which oppose it.
True conservative men respect an honest foe. They realize that the principle for which they are contending is not the only one in the world, but that there are other doctrines, other facts, other interests which demand recognition. They are willing to take even the crust if they cannot have the whole loaf. They are willing to make use of stepping-stones to reach the exalted position for which they strive. And they are none the less men of principle for so doing; they simply combine with their principles tact and common sense. They realize that yonder mountain height of achievement must be reached, not by a reckless and fanatical attempt to climb straight up its perpendicular sides, but rather by following the winding path of policy, which, with its gentle ascent, leads ever onward, ever upward to the glorious summit of success!
This is the only road to achievement. Step by step is the universal law of progress. The whole material world bows reverently to its sway. The wondrous power, which, out of chaos, produced the universe—the earth, the air, the heavens with all their starry splendor—was a power working not by mighty revolutions, but slowly, silently, through infinite ages. The forces of violent action—the wind, the flood, the earthquake shock—are the forces of destruction Wherever we turn our eyes the evidences of this law confront us. All nature is under its dominion. Is man so mighty a creature that he can safely defy the laws of the very power that gave him birth? History teaches them the reverse.
The English nation escaped from a condition of servitude and tyrannical oppression, not by violently throwing off the yoke, but by over a century of steady, systematic and intelligent growth. The Magna Charter, the Petition of Rights, the Bill of Rights—those three great documents which have been aptly termed the "Bible of the English Constitution"—were wrested from haughty kings not by a party of one idea; not by fanatics thoughtless of all else, but by men who considered the interests of all parties, and who for that very reason, were able to develop a symmetrical and powerful public sentiment. As one of our ablest political philosophers says, "The healthful development of the English Constitution was due to the fact that no particular principle ever obtained an exclusive influence. There was always a simultaneous development of the different forces, and a sort of negotiation
or compromise between their pretentions and interests."
Across the Channel, however, the case was different. The French people defied the law of progress, and as a consequence there arose in France certain factions with "Liberty" for their watchword — "Liberty though the heavens fall." Revolution, they considered the touchstone of progress; one idea, the condition of success. Violating the very principle for which they fought, they refused to consider other interests; they scorned to consider other factions; they listened not to the claims of monarchy, religion or law. And those dark pages in the history of France, from the perusal of which the very demons turn in horror, are the record of their deeds.
Biography, too, adds its testimony to the immutability of the law of progress and bears witnesses to the success of those who recognize this law. Who is the man who has transformed Prussia from a mass of petty states to that great and glorious nation, second to none on the European continent? Bismarck; a man of iron will, a man of dogged persistence, and yet withal, a man of such consumate tact and policy that for twenty years and more he has held his position as chief man of the realm in spite of opposition, aye, even with the consent of his bitterest political enemies! German Unification was not an idea original with him. Patriots and reformers for a century before had been longing to accomplish this very thing. Bismarck was the first to grapple with the problem as a statesman and not as an enthusiast. Others had sought to make a nation in a day; Bismarck was willing to give a lifetime for the work.
Who is the man who in England to day wields a power and an influence which, defeat and political overthrow have not been able to cripple? Gladstone; the Christian statesman, the man of principle, and yet, for the sake of the welfare of England, so conservative that, irrespective of party ties, he seeks for the symmetrical development of all English interests. His name is destined to become immortal, not as the leader of a party, not as a champion of one idea, but as a statesman who could be active without being partisan, conservative without being stationary, progressive without being fanatical.
Turn to our own history—to the name of one who will live forever in the memory and the heart of his country—to Abraham Lincoln, the emancipator of the slaves, the savior of the Union. Coming into power when the nation was at a crisis, when as a people we were wholly absorbed in watching one great event, he never forgot for a moment the multiplicity of our interests as a nation; he never allowed his hatred for an evil institution to triumph over his reason, but amid the reiliings of those fanatics who would have plunged us into ruin, he boldly declared: "My paramount object is to save the Union, and not either to save or destroy slavery. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union, and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help save the Union." And at that time when even among our northern men conflicting opinions prevailed; when fifty thousand of our troops were from the border slave states; when the salvation of the Union demanded the earnest and unqualified support of every loyal citizen; at that time, a policy less broad, a course less statesmanlike, a rallying cry less comprehensive, would have plunged us into irretrievable disaster and ruin. And I ask—and I voice the sentiment of men than whom there are none greater in this nation, than whom there are none more loyal—I ask if in 1856 the Garrisons and the Phillipses of the north, and the Davises and the Tombses of the south, had been replaced by men with the sagacity of Abraham Lincoln; if we had used more policy in our treatment of an institution morally wrong yet legally recognized; if we had considered all the interests of this nation, should we not have secured the emancipation of the negro without the cost of five billions of treasure; without devastating and beggaring one-half of our fair land; without the sacrifice of six hundred thousand human lives; without twenty-five years of sectional strife; without plunging the negro into a condition of political servitude more oppressive, if possible, than his former state?
There doubtless is a place in the world for radical reformers, and without question they perform a grand work by arousing to activity the public mind. But victory has rarely perched on their banners, and their watchword has been too often changed from "principle" to "intolerance." She sands of time are red with the blood of their slaughtered victims; yet the result of their warfare has been extermination, not peace.
The conservative men are the doers of the world. What reformers would bring about by violence and revolution, they accomplish by natural means. It is time to denounce the fanatical slander which is cast upon them. Malicious attack may dim the splendor of their successes, but it cannot efface the record of their achievements. The eulogy is engraved on the tablets of time. As long as civilization advances; as long as liberty endures, their fame is secure. And if, in the dim ages of the future, their forces ever should be outnumbered and the legions of wreck and ruin run riot, the traditions of a former civilization will yet remain. a glorious monument to the memory of Conservative men.
The Kansas Oratorical Association gave a grand banquet to the visiting delegates and the orators last night after the contest. The tables were spread in Grosscup's parlor, and delegates, orators and friends to the number of about forty sat down to an elegant repast. After an hour spent in partaking of the good things in store, the company was favored by a speech by Eugene Ware, which was entertaining and humorous. Owing to the late hour the toasts which had been prepared were dispensed with. President Ingalls closed the banquet with a few kind words.
The Courier is nothing if it is not enterprising. At this hour, 5 o'clock A.M., after the editors and composites have worked all night, the paper is just going to press, this being the last item which enters the paper,

The Senior boys think the girls of their class are better politicians than they are. If the Senior girls are representative Kansas girls, we sincerely hope that the days of woman's suffrage are far distant; for there wouldn't be a man in office in a few years if the Kansas women got into power.
The Senior class of the law department has decided to have a class day of their own. This is the first time that anything of the kind has been attempted by the laws. The program is as follows: Valedictorian, E. C. Little; orator, B. F. Talbott; memorial address, Harry Ballinger; satutatorian, J. H Albach; debate, J. W. Hall, W. C. Stephens; prophesy, J. B. VanVliet.
Following is the program for commencement week: Friday night, June 4th, annual contest between the Oread and Orophilian societies. Saturday night, oration before the alumni of the law department. Sunday night, baccalaureate sermon by Rev. Jas. G. Merril, of St. Louis. Monday night, contests in oratory and declamation. Tuesday morning, class day exercises of the graduating class. Tuesday night, address to alumni, J. W. Gleed, class of '79. Wednesday morning, June 8th, commencement exercises and conferring of degrees.
Miss Pearl Young and T. S. Fritz, two old K. S. U. students, gave a gaslight reception at the Kansas City School of Oratory one evening last week. The principal attractions of the evening were a declamation by Miss Young and an oration by Fritz on "The New South."
Dr. Lippincott entertained the Seniors last Wednesday night.
We have neither the space nor inclination to answer the Washburn Argo's attack on the Courier, and "Smith" has left town or he would annihilate the Argo's correspondent and the editorial man. The Argo should not accuse the Courier of vitiperative remarks while its own columns are filled with the same. It is certainly true that as our boys filed in to supper, some students in the back part of the room hissed. It would be hard to see how the hissing could be for any other purpose than to insult our boys. It might have been the same element that insulted one of our players and tried to bulldoze the umpire. We notice that the Argo says nothing about the three players who were run in. We wish to say again that the Washburn ball club are perfect gentlemen. No club could have done more for visitors than the Washburn club did for theirs, but before the Argo attempts to criticize any actions of K. S. U., it should correct the failings of its own college.
The following from the pen of Frank McLennen, of the class of 79, speaks a good word for the girls of K. S. U.:
We observe that in the preparations for the class day exercises during the coming commencement season at the State University the ladies were gloriously triumphant, the Senior class having elected the program for the day as follows:
Salutatorian, Evelyn Smith. President, Miss Lou Palmer. Oration, Hattie Dunn.
Hat speech, Julia Flinn.
Historian, Lida Jacke.
Address to lower classes Clara Greenamuyer.
Oration, Mamie Simpson.
Valedictorian, Hattie Haskell.
The class numbers a membership of twenty-eight and is evenly divided between the sexes. A few of the eastern colleges who still have lingering ideas that co-education is not a success, and that young women cannot rank as high, or even higher than young men, are requested to read and note carefully the facts herein stated. The girls at the University may well be proud of their records and rank. The valedictorian, Miss Hattie Haskell, the talented niece of the revered Dudley C. Haskell, obtained the highest degree of merit that the University awards. In this connection it is appropriate to remark that the girls who go out from this leading institution of the state are representative students and representative Kansans, too. Many of them have gained their education under greater difficulties than the boys. Many of them have lived in Kansas practically all of their lives and have seen and been a part of the greatest trials and tribulations that this state has witnessed in its triumphant march ad astra per aspera. The girls of '86 are to be congratulated. The boys of '86 are given prominent places in the really less interesting exercises of the day following class day, and must wear their honors as gracefully as they may, and thereby improve the occasion given them in lieu of the garlands which they cannot gather this season from opportunities offered by the class day program.

The Western Farm Mortgage Co.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS.
Offers its services to all who are desirous of borrowing upon Real Estate Securities for term of years.
The splendid success of THE WESTERN FARM MORTGAGE COMPANY is partly due to the liberal, broad-gauge ideas of the management, which recognizes that a Mortgage Company is primarily for the accommodation of the borrowing public, and that its usefulness in the community depends upon its ability to supply the wants of each particular customer.
To attain this end THE WESTERN FARM MORTGAGE COMPANY has spared no endeavor and the results speak for themselves.
Where AMPLE SECURITY AND PERFECT TITLE are presented no delay is necessary. Instead of the old tardy thirty-day process, the property can now be examined immediately, and if approved, a man can be supplied in two hours, and go away with the money in his pocket, if there are no impediments to his title.
Come and see us and get acquainted, it may help you at some future time.
Information Cheerfully Given.
THE WESTERN FARM MORTGAGE COMPANY has "earned its spurs," and stands pre-eminently foremost among all similar institutions, and in fairness and courtesy to borrowers will not fall below the standard aimed at in all departments of its business.

THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
THE MUSEUM OF THE NORTHWEST.
Now in the Twentieth Year of its History,
HAS ESTABLISHED
A Department of Science, Literature and the Arts, a Department of Law, a Department of Music, Department of Pharmacy,
and a Department of Art.
It is thus prepared to give thorough collegiate instruction and professional training in the departments named.
THE COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT takes undergraduate studies at the University of California, San Francisco.
The course of study has been rearranged and enlarged in the Department of Law. The course of studies covers two years. Tuition, $25 per annum.
THE DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC has been in successful operation for two years. The best instruction is given in Piano, Vocal Culture, Chorus Singing, etc.
THE DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACY was opened in the fall of 1885. It is already an assured success. Instruction theoretical and practical, 3,000 physicians prescriptions in the original are in use in the department. Course in the University, two years leading, after two years of practical work, to the degree Ph. G. Tuition, $25 per annum.
A DEPARTMENT OF ART was opened in the fall of 1885, under the care of Miss Mary L. Simpson. Instruction is given in Drawing, Oil Painting, Water Colors, Decorations, etc.
The next Term will open Wednesday, September 8th.
A Preparatory Department is maintained specially for those who lack the preparation in the languages required for admission to the Freshman class.
Necessary expenses vary from $180 to $300 per annum.
For catalogue and any information address
J. A. LIPPINCOTT, D. D.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS.
The twentieth catalogue of THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, 1885-6, just issued from the press, is a neat pamphlet of about one hundred pages. In mechanical execution the printer has left nothing to be desired. The type is clear and distinct; the paper, slightly tinted, is of good quality.
Twentieth Annual Catalogue.
In general appearance the catalogue resembles its immediate predecessors, but an examination of its contents discloses some important changes. The Board of Regents remains unchanged, except that Regents Otis and Simpson are removed from the bottom to the top of the list as being last appointed. As at present constituted, this Board appears to work so harmoniously and withal so effectively that one is almost led to the wish that it might continue indefinitely to guide the development of the institution committed to its care. Certainly a Board charged with such responsibilities should not be subject to rapid changes. Continuity of plan and development mark the growth of an institution as of a plant, and a sudden change of purpose or of method will mar the one as wall as the other.
The Board of Instruction numbers twenty-six. In the present issue of the catalogue appear five names for the first time: Alexander M. Wilcox, Lucius E. Sayre, P. D. Aldrich, Adelaide Rudolph and Mary L. Simpson. It is emphatically a working faculty. In addition to the daily work of the lecture room, each professor (we believe without exception) is busy with some special line of study or of investigation. Into this special work also have been drawn many of the more ambitious students, as witness the Science Club, the Mozart Club, the Engineering Society, etc. In these clubs the professors and the students work side by side and on equal terms. Indeed, it seems a characteristic of the University of Kansas that the students and their professors are on more intimate terms than can be found in the usual American college. The advantages derived from this more intimate relationship are two-fold—the professors are held to a more generous sympathy with their students; the student profits from association with his instructor. May the time never come when the faculty and the students of the K. S. U. shall drift into the antagonisms so common in college communities!
The total enrollment of students is 419. When it is remembered that the Preparatory department, necessarily so prominent in the earlier history of the University, has been systematically diminished for the last three years, and that the Normal department disappears from the catalogue the present year, the friends of the University may well feel satisfied with this showing. The Preparatory department, which three years ago contained three full years of study with a total of 350 students, now appears under the caption "sub-Freshman class." Students are yet received, however, who must in the University begin the study of Latin and Greek as also of French and German. This is due to the fact that comparatively few of the High Schools of the states are prepared to give instruction either in the classics or in the modern languages.
Two new "Departments" appear
for the first time in the catalogue— Pharmacy and Art. The department of Pharmacy has been an assured success from the beginning. It numbers twenty-three students, of whom three will graduate at the close of the present year. A room is being finished and furnished for exclusive use as a laboratory in Pharmacy.
The department of Art has quietly taken its place as a development from the drawing classes. There is reason to believe that this will prove the foundation of a school of art that shall become an ornament to the University and to the state.
The department of Law, greatly strengthened and encouraged by the liberality of the last legislature, has doubled the number of its students. With its increased facilities, it ought, and doubtless will, achieve a rapid and permanent success.
Another feature of very great importance, as it seems to us, takes its place with the least possible ostentation in this catalogue. The study of Spanish is to be introduced at the opening of the next term. There is no loud heralding of the event. An asterisk placed over against the name of Professor Carruth in the Board of Instruction calls attention to the modest foot note: "Prof Carruth will also, for the present, instruct classes in Spanish." This is the beginning of a work that has been delayed too long already. It is a gratification to know that students in the State University are to have the option of Spanish, and a further gratification to know that thus work is committed to the hands of Prof. Carruth.
Some very valuable apparatus has been obtained during the past year for the department of Physics. These additions have been in good part manufactured expressly for the University, some in this country and some in Europe. If the liberality of the last legislature shall continue, it will not be long before a new building will be called for to accommodate this line of work.
The fact is also revealed that the cabinets in zoology, botany and geology, continue to receive generous additions. We are told that upwards of 150,000 specimens afford important aid in the study of natural history. The recent collections of fossils from the coal measures of southern Kansas, hidden away for the present in dark basement rooms beyond the reach of ordinary visitors, are invaluable. The erection of Snow Hall will soon give these and other collections, equally worthy, the display which they so richly merit.
On the whole, the University is to be congratulated. It is making rapid and substantial growth. The people of the state regard it with increasing pride. There seems to be but one feeling in regard to it throughout the state, but one desire, one determination—that the University of Kansas shall take its place speedily with the best educational institutions of the country.
To the constellation of American magazines has been added another star of the first magnitude -The Forum. It is no fleeting meteor, but has come as a permanent light.
The Forum is attractive in form and contents. Its live, energetic, impartial treatment of the questions of the day will soon give for it a place in every library.

SIGMA CHI CONVENTION.—The convention of the sixth province of the Sigma Chi fraternity, under the auspices of Alpha Xi Chapter, met yesterday afternoon in A. O. U. W. hall. About twenty-five active and alumni members were in attendance. The opening address was delivered by Don H. Wheeler, Jr., of Omaha, Neb., the grand prudetos of the province, after which considerable business relating to the fraternity was transacted. The convention adjourned to attend the contest, after which the members again assembled in the hall, where an elegant banquet was served by Mull. Toasts were rrspondee to by Frank L. Wheeler, D. C. Kennedy, T. F. McCaully, Don H. Wheeler, John Mocket, H. C. Eddy, C. E. Street and C. L. Smith. The banquet was kept up until a late hour, and the occasion was one which only college boys know how to enjoy. The members of the fraternity present from abroad were: B. F. McCann, Greenville, Ohio, C. Pellet, Beloit, Wis., Don H. Wheeler, Jr., Omaha, Neb., T. B. McCaulley, University of Iowa, N. C. Stone, Leavenwoath, M. E. Wheeler, F. L. Wheeler, H. C. Eddy, John H. Mocket, Jr., L. L. Stoers, E. A. Pierce, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, and others.
Oratorical Contest.
On last evening a large and appreciative audience met in University chapel to witness the Inter-State Oratorical Contest. Promptly at eight o'clock the exercises were opened by the University orchestra. After the Invocation by Dr. Cordley, the President introduced the first speaker of the evening, J. C. Glover, State University of Colorado. The speaker handled the subject "An Unrecognized Right" in a very able manner. Mr. Glover had a good voice and pleasing address. He should have received a higher grade in the decision of the judges.
H. S. Dungan, the second speaker,
delivered a pleasing eulogy on "William
the Silent." Mr. Dungan has
many qualities, his delivery however,
is better adapted to the foot-lights
than to the platform.
"Conservatism an Essential Element of Progress," was the subject of the winning oration, by E. C. Ritsher, Beloit, Wisconsin. The oration, which will be found on another page of this paper, speaks for itself. Mr. Ritsher is a broad thinker and a powerful speaker. We expect to hear from him again.
While the orchestra were playing a second piece the orators from Kansas, Illinois and Indiana took their places upon the platform.
Cyrus Crane, State University of Kansas, was the fourth speaker on the program. He had changed his oration, "Individual Men and the Masses," in some respects with marked improvement. The University may well feel proud of her representative.
The State of Illinois was well represented by F. J. Walsh, Chicago University, who spoke on the "Anglo Saxon." Mr. Walsh had a well written oration, and delivered it in a polished manner. More energy would add force to his otherwise excellent delivery.
Mr. J. M. Adams, of De Pauw University, Indiana, had as the subject of his oration "The Problem of our Great Cities." Mr. Adams as an orator is a grand success. Probably two-thirds of the audience present would have voted him first place.
H. H. Russell, of Oberlin, Ohio, winner of the second prize, spoke on the subject "Mob and Law." Mr. Russell is a speaker of rare abilities.
"The Negro Problem" was the subject of oration delivered by N. M. Cross, State University of Minnesota. Mr. Cross is an easy and graceful speaker, and he does honor to the state which he represents.
The last speaker on the program, B. D. Smith, Cornell College, Iowa, spoke on the subject, "The Inter-Dependence of Moral and Intellectual Development." Mr. Smith is a strong thinker and powerful orator. In respect to elocutionary ability Mr. Smith stood above all his competitors.
The music by the orchestra, and the solo by Dan Crew, were well received and heartily applauded.
The following is the decision of the judges in full :

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
Eight Phi Gams and their lady friends had a moonlight boating party Saturday night.
The zoology class are going to strike if the birds furnished for analyzing are not fresher.
All our visitors uttered imprecations against the hill, as we were wont to do in the early days of college life.
Three snakes escaped Tuesday night, and now there are five snakes roaming through the building. None of them are poisonous.
The catalogue should have had a better cut of the University. It should have also a cut of the chemistry building and of Snow Hall.
The Phi Gams, notwithstanding their defeat of last Saturday, still believe they have the best frat nine and will challenge the winning nine of yesterday's game.
The two lectures which promised to be the most interisting of the course have been given up. We refer to the one by Eugene Ware and the one by J. D. Miles.
The last lecture of the course was delivered last Tuesday evening, by Prof. Sayre. A small audience was present. The lecture treated of "Medicine and Medicine Makers." and was interesting throughout. The magic lantern was used to illustrate the discourse.
According the catalogue the enrollment the past year has been 419, of which 258 are males and 161 are females. Fourteen states and two territories have representatives among the students. There are 44 students not living in Kansas. The sub-freshman class comprises 161 members. There are 24 members of the faculty.
The catalogue attempts to show how a student can live on $185 a year Nonsense, there is not one boy in fifty who can get through on that sum. The catalogue says that day board varies in the clubs from $1.50 to $2.25. It is doubtful if there is a club in town where the board does not average more than $2.25 per week. No club lives for less than that.
The engineering department turns out but one graduate this year.
The members of the Soph. German class are translating "Twice told Tales" into German.
In the class in Political Economy, of the fourteen young women taking final examinations seven received first grades; of the ten young men, six received first grades. The lowest grades and the failures were equally divided between the sexes.
The Phi Delta Thetasgave a very pleasant and enjoyable party last Friday evening in honor of the Kappa and Phi visitors to the University. The evening was spent in dancing and card playing. The ladies of K. K.G. who were here from abroad were Misses Russell and Roberts. The Phi's were Messrs, Anderson, Shaw, Gerwig and Stockbarger.
An inter-fraternity base ball league has been formed between the Phi Gams, the Phi Delts, the Phi Psis and the Betas. The first game played two weeks ago between the Phi Psis and the Betas resulted in a score of 19 to 11 in favor of the Betas. Last Saturday the Phi Gams tackled the Betas and were done up to the tune of 10 to 8. The Phi Delts will cross bats yesterday with the Betas. The contest is becoming interesting.
We received the following encouraging words from a prominent alumnus: "I am not acquainted with any of the members of the Courier staff, but I desire to congratulate each and all of you for the way in which you publish the best college paper in the United States. It is a newspaper, and when you know that I keep posted by it as to events in Lawrence and on Mt. Oread, you may also know that I am one of the many outside subscribers who will sustain my views."
That our ball club was fairly beaten last Friday cannot be denied. But that they were beaten by a score of 19 to 12 is owing mainly to the rascality of the umpire. It is the University's fault that it was beaten. It has been impossible any time during the Spring to call the club together or have any practice of any kind. The club of last Friday had never played together before. It is to be hoped that the boys now realize the fact that they cannot expect to win if they wont practice.
We can hardly believe that the umpiring last Friday was under the guidance of the Washburn club. It seems hardly probable that they should wish to play in that manner. But when the return game is played we will show that K. S. U. can forgive and forget. Our umpire will not stoop to benefit his own club. We are above such things.

Upton-Woodcock.
The University has about ten snakes at present. They are used in the zoology class.
Chas. G, Upton, '81, and Miss Nellie Woodcock,'82, were married at the residence of the bride's parents in Lawrence, Wednesday, April 28th. The happy couple left Friday for their future home. The COURER wishes them success in their new home.
Twelve members of the Senior class of the Topeka High school came down to attend the contest.
The Juniors held a meeting Wednesday, the 5, to elect a member of their class to receive the hat presented by the Seniors on their class day. After several ballots each 11 to 11 Mr. E. G. Blair was elected by a majority of one, the vote being 12 to 11.
Miss Ebright and Miss Adams, of the Topeka High School, staid over to witness the ball game between Washburn and K. S. U.
The Inter-State Association held its adjourned meeting last Friday morning. An amendment to the constitution was made, requiring each successful orator of the State contest to send a copy of his oration to every college represented in the Inter-State Association. Bloomington, Ill. was selected as the next place of holding the contest. The following officers were elected, after which the convention adjourned: President, B. D. Smith, Cornell College, Iowa; Vice-President, Dennison of Illinois; Secretary and Treasurer, H. H. Russell of Oberlin College, Ohio.
Resolutions of Thanks.
Resolved, That the Inter-State oratorical Association tender its thanks to the people of Lawrence and vicinity for their manifest enthusiasm and interest in the contest, and to the citizens of Lawrence for their kind and generous hospitality.
The Inter-State Oratorical Society through its committee, passed the following resolutions Friday morning
That, we express our appreciation for the friendly greeting received from the students of the Kansas State University and from the officers who tendered the use of the University building.
That the magnanimous and wholesouled liberality so well manifested by the Kansas Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Association is worthy of our highest appreciation. [Signed.]
COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.
The sound of the hammer has been heard in the basement of the chemical building for some time. Carpenters have been at work fitting up the new pharmaceutical laboratory. It is designed to make accommodation for sixty students, each having a table of his own for work. The room is as high as an ordinary room, and well lighted on the south and east. There will be three tables running from east to west, each supplied with gas and water. A store room is conveniently located on the west, and Prof. Sayre has a neat little office which will be supplied with all the conveniences. The University is particularly fortunate in being able to fit up such a convenient work room for the pharmacy department. Prof. Sayre expects, from present indications, a large class to enter next year, and with our excellent facilities there is no doubt but that he will have all he can accommodate.

We wish to say to the delegates and visitors who have attended the contest, that we are indebted to them. We are indebted to them for a royal good time; for pleasant acquaintances and many valuable ideas. We see better than we did; scales have allen from our eyes as large as dinner plates. Their influence has been beneficial. We are glad they came. The latch string of every door in the University is at half mast waiting their return.
--not be over estimated. Besides cultivating a sentiment in favor of oratory, these meetings arouse a spirit of emulation in many other directions. It is the magical touch of the shoulder that arms the marching column with indomitable courage; so it is the consciousness of a general support throughout all the colleges of the land that nerves students to organization and energetic action.
The appointments made by the faculty and the various classes for the exercises of commencement week are, with hardly an exception, the best that could have been made. The number of appointments is sufficiently large to insure a faithful representation of the University, and sufficiently limited to provide against a too lengthy program. In many respects this will surpass all former commencements. One feature in particular is worthy of notice. In all the exercises of commencement week the students will be the center of interest. Last year we had Secretary Bayard with us. He was a complete success; but commencement was quite swallowed up in his glory. This year we shall have fully as able speakers, but the interest will be wholly with the University. If the display of the week is less imposing, it will be more lasting in its influence and benefits to the University.
If there is one mistake to which students are liable more than all others, it is the supposition that his college is the chief educational center of the land. No matter how small and insignificant his college may be, the student is almost certain to believe that it stands head and shoulders above all its rivals. Such occasions as time of the past week, when students from nearly every state in the Union, meet in contest, convention and social intercourse, are well calculated to remove such erroneous impressions. The student's view becomes widened, and his prejudices lessened. His interest in other colleges and other states is increased. Not infrequently such occasions are the means of changing the whole drift of sentiment and custom in a college; their benefits can
In last week's Courier, clippings from the Herald-Tibune and Topeka Journal were, through mistake, allowed to pass unnoticed and as though approved. In the former article the writer says: "When the appointments made by the faculty of the University for commencement day were announced, there was much disgust among the young ladies of the class over the fact that only one of the six was a lady, and that the lucky ones were chosen by the faculty as a matter of personal preference, and not as a reward for scholarship or oratorical ability." The statement that the appointments were determined by personal preference and not by scholarship or ability, is wholly unwarranted. It impaaches the character of the faculty and slanders the persons appointed to represent the various departments. The persons appointed are the ones who have led the class for four years. They are the best writers and speakers in the class. It may be possible that some one department could be represented as well by other members of the class, yet it is doubtful. The greatest satisfaction prevails in regard to the action of the faculty.
The Topeka Journal pays the names of the senior class a most happy and deserved compliment, however it mistakes in supposing class day honors superior to those of commencement day. The student who represents his department receives the highest honors which the University awards.
Kappa Alpha Theta Reception.
Lawrence has indeed witnessed many elegant parties and brilliant affairs, but she certainly never looked in on a grander reception than that given by the Kappa chapter of Kappa Alpha Theata at the residence of Judge Emery on last Friday evening. It was a capital idea of the young ladies to give the party when the town was full of visitors and delegates, and those who were invited might well feel honored.
The elegant new mansion was brilliantly illuminated and specially prepared and decorated for the occasion. The large parors were used as reception rooms, while the spacious dining room, nicely arranged, were reserved for dancing.
The large list of invitations was unusually well responded to, and the immense attendance from the University and the city, from the faculty and visitors, from all fraternities and non-fraternity friends, showed well indeed the lofty position Kappa Alpha Theta enjoys here, and that she is appreciated by all.
Every one was in full dress and the ladies took particular pains to tastefully bedeck themselves and look pretty, nor were they less particular in looking after their numerous guests and seeing that each had a good time.
The delightful music of the First Regiment Band invited to the dance
those who wished to indulge, and at the proper hour Mull and his excellently trained waiters took care that the important part of the program, supper, was not to be passed without something handsome.
After the supper the hours were pleasantly passed with dancing and conversation till the clock announced the hour for departure had come, when the company departed for their homes voting the Kappa Alpha Thetas most charming entertainers and most pleasant girls. No one who was there will ever forget the unalloyed pleasure of the Theta party of May 7,'86.

There has arisen in the University a careless practice of calling all the teachers and instructors connected with our school, from the highest to the lowest, by the title of "Professor." This seems to us a great mistake, and one that ought to be corrected. It takes away all the dignity of a title to bestow it improperly and indiscriminately. The term "professor" should only be applied to those teachers who fill established chairs, or their assistants, and not to all the preparatory instructors, tutors and advanced students who may happen to teach a class occasionally. Why should we not call these subordinate functionaries by their proper titles, and make a professorship the place of distinction nominally, which it is in reality.
The appointments for commencement have been made, and six Seniors are happy. Of course the appointments were wholly unexpected to them. In fact, we had been informed by nearly every Senior that he or she did not expect or desire an appointment. But like the man on the way to prison, they were in the hands of their friends and were forced to submit. However, some who did not receive appointments, hardly feel so much relieved as they expected. Verily, there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth. We feel for them —but can't reach them. Of course it is pleasant to be free from the labor of preparing an oration for commencement; it is nice and smooth, yet, like castor oil, it is hard to swallow.
Incidents and Accidents.
*
We have been not a little amused at the complaints made because the pharmacy and music departments were not admitted to a representation on the commencement program.
It would perhaps be a greater source of amusement had these departments been admitted, to have heard the productions on commencement day. I think I am right in saying that there is not a student in either of these departments who could be ranked as a regular collegiate Freshman. The idea that they should appear on the literary program at commencement is ridiculous. But still, why should one department be represented and not another? This is a question which makes us pause. It appears to me that every department should be represented in such a manner as to indicate, somewhat, the nature of the work in that field. I think such a program could be made extremely interesting. For instance, who could fail to be interested in a Greek tragedy rendered by such classical scholars as Gilmore and Curry? What thunders of applause would greet the modern Aeschylus as he stepped upon the stage dressed as to his pedal extremities in a cathurnus! The representative of natural history could entrance the audience with the dissection of a cat, or perhaps the manakin. A few manipulations of feline harmonics would be a pleasing representation of the musical department; and the pharmacy boys could set up a few gin cock-tails in a manner which would speak volumes for the future of Kansas. We offer these suggestions hardly expecting that they will be accepted, yet we know that bread cast upon the waters—like an old wash bill—returneth after many days.
For genuine nerve, the Oreads are to be commended. It hardly seemed enough to them to have taken a prominent part in every social and literary entertainment of the year, so they put in their oar at our Orophilian reception. We had made all arrangement to have the crowd select on that night. None but Orophilians were to be admitted. Guards were stationed on the back stairs. We felt that for one evening in the year we would have our Orophilian girls to ourselves. Vain hope! Before ten o'clock the Oread boys had bribed our guards and stolen our ice cream and cake; then to add insult to injury, they came in and ate supper with our girls, and monopolized their attention for the remainder of the evening, while we sat around the wall watching their pleasure, procured at our expense. I am wrathy. Don't speak to me.
⋮
The contest last week was a success. It is one of those occasions which we read about in bocks. The janitors had the building hot by six o'clock; by seven the ushers were
sweating. The crowd began to come. Every seat in the balcony had been sold twice, and some three times. It was amusing to see the ushers rush the third man into the seat and say, "Here is the seat, gentlemen; hold to it." But the crowd was finally stowed away and business began.
The invocation was short—a feature which, we hope, is as acceptable at the throne of grace as it is to a popular audience. The music by the quartette was charming for its softness—we failed to hear it. It was a little embarrassing to the president. He hardly knew how to get the next speaker on the platform. He got there, however, with both feet. We liked that first oration. It seemed like the reunion of old friends. I felt at every sentence that I was meeting an old acquaintance. But the Nebraska man took the cake. He is the man who explained to the crowd in the Eldridge House that he and eleven other fellows had applied for a Phi Delta charter. Well, his delivery was immense. If he had had a hot potato in his mouth he could not have enunciated more distinctly. The climax of his oration was reached when, pointing to Charlie Gleed in the balcony he shouted, "What Sphynx-like form is that." It ought to have brought down the house.
That Beloit man was a jewel. I came from Beloit myself. Ritscher used to be slimmer than he is now. I remember his legs got so thin one summer that he was taken up under the vagrant act—having no visible means of support.
Crane did himself proud. I was watching one of the judges. He was sitting in the hottest corner of the building, and sweat was pouring down his face in great abundance. I could see that the oration pleased him, and when our Patrick rose upon his toes and exclaimed, "Blow, winds," the judge took out his pencil and marked "100."
Our friend Walsh from Illinois was too light-headed to make a good impression. He, perhaps, had the best written oration of the evening. It was amusing—well, not so amusing either—to see the close attention on the part of the ladies when Adams spoke. I notice most of the ladies thought he should have had first prize. I wish I had less money and was better looking.
But the Ohio man takes the palm for steady nerve. The assumption that the speech which he delivered would quell a riot, required a cheek as large as that on the Sphinx which the Nebraska man was talking about. It hardly seems to me that such an oration as that would have quelled a good sized cat fight.
I was asleep when the Minnesota man spoke. Had a very pleasant nap. Woke up just in time to hear Smith from Iowa. The way he spread "intellect and morality" over the platform was a caution. What a voice. First he would send it clear down into his boots after a piece of Vedic literature, and then would raise it to the lofty realms of Mt. Olympus. It was the best display of vocal pyrotechnics that I have heard since I left Dodge City.
I was pleased with the contest. There is something about oratory that is truly fascinating. You get such wholesale returns of conclusions out of a small investment in facts.

Prejudice and animosity toward classes of individuals are almost invariably an evidence of narrowness, and should be unknown factors in all educational institutions. Yet it is a fact that in nearly all colleges with two or more departments, there is a strong emmity between the members of the various departments—an ennity that at times causes serious consequences. This is caused by regulations that keep the members of one comparative strangers to those of the other. This leads to criticism, rivalry and finally to "Rah for our side." The students leave their old Alma Mater with no love but for what was connected with their own department. This will inevitably be a live issue in the near future in the K. S. U. if the "powers that be" keep silent. Would not classroom association reduce this enmity to the minimum? But is that possible and profitable? I think so. How many collegiate students would have attended the splendid lecture delivered before the law classes if they could have had permission? How often would some of the law students break the monotony of their own course by attending some of the excellent classroom lectures if they but felt welcome to do so? The collegiate student would be broadened by the many new ideas he would get from the deep subject of law; the law student would be refreshed by the new thoughts he would get on collegiate studies. Thus would they get inside the realm of each other's thoughts and sympathies. The collegiates would the more appreciate the broad field with its practical thoughts, in which the laws are laboring, and the laws would not mistake the collegiate's theoretical and enthusiastic way of thinking for dreamy self-adulation. And thus would the future judges, representatives, senators and executives learn the thoughts and feelings of the future professors, preachers and mugwumps.

For some time the case of the State of Kansas against Judge G. W. Nimrocks, in which the latter was charged with criminal libel against State Senator J. W. White, has been watched with interest. After attempting every defense, the defendant appeared in court and plead guilty to the charge of libel. The offense in question was the writing and publishing in the Topeka Daily Cadital an article charging Senator White with the alleged robbery of Rice county treasury. It appears that the article was based on information received from other parties, but investigation showed that information was not reliable. The defendant states in his plea of guilty, that at the time of, and for a month prior to the alleged robbery, Mr. White was not in the state of Kansas.
It will be remembered that Senator White has been a warm friend of the University, and was one who did good work for the natural history appropriation. It is a pleasure to note his complete vindication.

According to her custom, Gropinian gave a reception Friday night, April 31, to her members of the Senior class. The occasion was a most enjoyable one, and will long be remembered by those who were present. The earlier part of the evening was spent in playing various games and dancing, then refreshments were served in royal style. The toasts were responded to by T. F. Doran and Miss Clara Greenamyer. Mr. Doran spoke for the society, and his remarks were very appropriate. Miss Greenamyer answered ably for the grave and revered Seniors. She said she knew their places would be hard to fill, but nature abhorred a vacuum, and the Junior, the languid Soph and the verdant Freshman would rush in to take their places. Her remarks were highly appreciated. Dancing and games were then resumed till an early hour, when all departed, feeling that Orophilian was well sustaining her former reputation. Her members of the graduating class are Miss Clara Greenamyer. Louella Palmer, H. F. Graham, J. D. McLaren, J. E. Curry, S. Burkholder; in the law department, J. H. Albach, W. C.

The program will be a summary of all the original work done in the scientific departments this year. The papers will be gotten up in as general a style as possible, so that each one will be interesting as well as instructive. There will be two sessions, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The subjects in the evening will be illustrated by the magic lantern. Between the sessions the members of the club will be entertained by B. W. Woodward at his residence. Everybody who is interested in science should attend the meeting. The following program explains itself. The sessions will be held in the chemistry lecture room.

Notice.
The business managers of the Courier have appointed Mr. Yearsley White collector of subscriptions. All whose subscriptions for the current year remain unpaid, should pay him or the business managers immediately.
The reception of last Thursday evening, in honor of Prof. Leverett W. Spring, was but a slight expression of the esteem in which he is held by the people of Lawrence and the University. Prof. Spring, during his ten year's residence in Lawrence, has won for himself an enviable reputation. As a minister and as a professor, his success has been marked and uniform. As we look at the work which he has done, the high moral influence which he has exerted, we can not help feeling that his loss to the University will be irreparable. Prof. Spring is one of the few men who have no enemies. To know him is to be his friend. Nothing but good wishes will attend him to his new field of labor.
The University has always enjoyed the name of having students who were in every respect gentleman. If, however, we may judge from the confusion in the back part of the chapel on last Friday evening during the musical recital, the University is hardly worthy of such a distinction. Nevertheless, we are happy to say that the disturbance referred to was caused by a very inconsiderable portion of the gentlemen—male students, I should say—of the University. Persons who prefer to hear themselves talk, to the execution of classical music, should seek an auditorium outside the contest room. By so doing, they would accommodate themselves and confer a favor on the music-loving public.
The committee on arrangements for Field Day are meeting with good success. We expect the contest to be held on Friday, June 14th, will surpass in interest all former occasions of a like nature. The business men of Lawrence, and others, have responded generously, and the winning athletes will receive substantial recognition.
We desire to call special attention to the class "rope pull." Ten men
will be selected from each class for this event. The Seniors and Juniors will first pull; after them the Sophomores and Freshmen. The two winning teams will then pull for the championship. The classes should select their men at once and begin practicing.
There should be a large number of entries for each event. No one stands preeminent as an athlete in any one event, so there is a reasonable chance for any who may contest.
A man who has debts and can't pay them is to be pitied and assisted, but the man who can pay them and doesn't, is despicable in the extreme. We hear a good deal about what constitutes a gentleman, but after all it can be safely said that a man who pays his debts and keeps his word possesses at least three-fourths of the requisite qualities. With especial force this applies to students, for no class of people obtain credit easier or oftener. And with their dealings with one another, the line on money matters is loosely drawn. It is not often that students wilfully destroy the confidence which is placed in them. Yet sometimes this is the case, and such cases are too often passed over without censure or rebuke. We see men who are heavily in debt keep right on spending money right and left, without apparently care about their indebtedness. What is to be thought of a man who, while owing just debts to others, does not intint his own gratifications? He is devoid of any sense of right and justice. What is to be thought of a man who steps up deliberately week after week and takes a paper without any thought of paying for it? He differs only from the sneak thief in that he commits robbery with a brazen effrontery which adds insult to injury. It seems to be a common idea that whatever one steals from a corporation is so much shrewdly gained. Yet in truth, it is robbery pure and simple. And then, it does beat the world how some persons who are honorable and upright in the majority of their dealings, still act most contemptible about a few things. Through the efforts of a few individuals, journalism in the K. S. U. has been raised to a standard far superior to that of other institutions above us in other respects, and this has been done too, without the co-operation of the majority of the students. Now all we have to say, if you want to take the college papers, take them and pay for them. Don't go sneaking around to try to get the managers to give you a copy every week, but pay your subscription like a man, and you will get more than your money's worth. We have known some to have taken papers regularly without paying for them, and then think they have done something smart, while al they did was to impose on a misplaced confidence in their honor. We have a large paying circulation, and do not care for dead-head subscribers. All the students enjoy reading the Courier, and certainly ought to show college spirit enough to pay their subscription to it, if they do not care to aid it in other ways.
Incidents and Accidents.
The Kansas City Times gives Prof. Spring a good send off in last Sunday's paper.
The great American game of base ball seems to have taken quite a hold on the students lately. Some transitory interest has also been awakened in tennis. I am glad to see this, and hope it will lead to the firm establishment of athletics in K. S. U. A Yale graduate, lately speaking to me of western colleges and the University in particular, praised our intellectual attainments, put pointed out our great lack of physical development. We are doing very well here now, however, and everything gives promise of a good exhibition on field day. But why follow up only one or two sports? Football was well started a couple of years ago, but for some unknown reason is not played at all now. Both the Junior and Senior classes have good balls some where or other, which ought to be brought out. It is the duty of the persons who have these balls to turn then over to the classes, and they should do it immediately. We have such a fine race course on the Kaw here, too that it seems a shame to let it go neglected. We were going to have some sculls and a crew put in training at one time, but the rascality of some persons connected with the notorious Athletic Association of two years ago, defeated this excellent scheme. Let us not be damned however, that we have failed in some instances, and with Sana meas i corpere sano for our motto, let us march be ever onward till K. S. U shall stand even with the best institutions in all college affairs.

I heard a good story during the recent meeting of the Oratorical Association. The narrator held a prominent position last year in the Indiana State Association, and had charge of the arrangements for the contest. He had been working hard the afternoon before the contest, and was just ready to take supper with a few friends, when a rap summoned him to the door, and a man announced to him that A. J. Beveridge, the contest from DePau, wished to see him immediately at a hotel quite a distance away. Tired and hungry though he was, he hastened to the hotel where the champion orator of eight states, the member of the great fraternity of Delta Kappa Epsilon, the proud Senior from DePau, made the following fitful request: "Mr. ___, I wish that you would instruct the janitor of the opera house to turn down the gas very low when the contestant from the State University speaks, and turn it up again when I speak." It is needless to add that the gentleman returned fully convinced that all great orators are not great men.
There was a marked increase over last year in the number of fraternity men, both in the convention and in the contest. The fraternities were represented as follows: Phi Kappa Psi, three in the convention, one orator; Sigma Chi, two in convention; Delfa Tau Delta, one in convention, one orator; Delta Kappa Epsilon, two orators; Phi Delta Theta, two in convention; Chi Psi, one orator; Beta Theta Pi, one in convention. Some of the orators in the above list acted also as delegates. Notwithstanding the array of fraternity talent present, the "barbs" cleaned the

In looking over the annual catalogue, I am glad to see that the wormy chestnuts about "plain substantial food" and "not eating in the presence of books," have been wisely omitted. The catalogue, on the whole, is better arranged in the smaller details than usual, though improvements might still be made on much of the old standing matter.

Last Monday morning was bright and clear. All things were favorable for a large attendance at chapel. We attended, and found thirty-four persons present, seven members of the faculty included in the number. At the opening of the second door the number was swelled to a grand total of forty-one. Not infrequently the attendance in chapel is even smaller than that. It is evident to every one that the interest in chapel exercises is constantly diminishing. We speak the truth in saying that the average chapel attendance is not one-fourth what it was three years ago. This may be accounted for, in part, by the fact that the aggregate enrollment of students in the University is less than it was at that time, and also by the fact that preparatory students, of which class we then had a large number, are more at liberty to attend these exercises than more advanced students. Still, this explanation hardly seems satisfactory. Something is out of joint. What this something is, we do not assume to assert. This much, however, is evident: The morning exercises are lacking in interest. No national or patriotic songs are sung, party questions are not permitted to be discussed; no carefully prepared remarks are addressed to the students by the faculty or chancellor; no morning lectures are delivered on special topics. These are some of the things which are not done. It may be that these considerations point out the error; they may suggest a remedy.
Twelve to Twelve.
A large crowd gathered Wednesday afternoon to witness the game of ball between the University club and the Lawrence club. The game was hotly contested, and was the best game that has been played here this season. Both pitchers were hit hard, one home run and two three-base hits being made. McBride pitched and Davis caught for the University club, while Shugero and Reynolds formed the battery for the city club. The score stood twelve to twelve at the end of nine innings, and both sides being willing, the game was called a tie. Another game will be played in the near future.

A Pleasant Reception.
The reception in honor of Prof. Spring last Friday evening at the beautiful residence of Mrs. Da Lee, was one of the most enjoyable events of the season. The spacious parlors were crowded with the friends of the family and of the distinguished Professor of the Chair of Modern Literature in the University, who is about to return to the east to accept a similar professorship in Williams College, Massachusetts.
The enjoyment of the evening was greatly increased by excellent music furnished by Buch's orchestra.
At 10 o'clock an elegant and most excellent lunch was spread for the large assembly, which did equal justice to Mrs. Da Lee's generous heart and skillful hands.
After supper Judge S. O. Thacher assumed the roll of autocrat of the occasion, or master of ceremonies; and proceeded to call upon different gentlemen for expressions of their feelings appropriate for the occasion. Remarks were made by Judge Emery, Dr. Howland, ex-Chancellor Marvin, Rev. Mr. Stote, Hon. Hutchings, Hon. T. Dwight Thacher of Topeka, Chancellor Lippincott, Dr. Woodward and ex-Mayor Bowersock. All expressed their regrets that the University and the State of Kansas were about to lose the services of a gentleman who had been so long identified with the interests of both and who had contributed so largely towards elevating the standard of our higher education; but, what was now loss to the University and the young State of which it is the chief educational center, would be a positive gain to the eastern institution which would in the future be his field of labor.
Prof. Spring replied to these several speeches in a few feeling remarks in which he greatly regretted the necessity which compelled him to sever his connection with an educational institution in which it had afforded him great pleasure to labor for a number of years, and to leave a state which he had learned to love and with which he had become thoroughly identified. He loved Kansas; he loved the west; its boundless possibilities; its breadth of and diversified scenery, and would ever cherish with kindly feelings the free, open-hearted generosity of its progressive and enterprising people. He said it was ten years since he came to the State—to Lawrence—yet it seemed like a dream, so quickly, so pleasant had the years flown by.
Prof. Spring will leave the University with the regrets of all its students who have had the pleasure of being members of his classes and who have learned to love and respect him as a scholarly, liberal-minded and kind-hearted teacher.
Following is a list of those present at the reception :
Chancellor Lippincott and wife, Prof. Snow and wife, Prof. Robinson and wife. Prof. Brownell and wife, Prof. Miller and wife, Prof. Williams and wife, Prof. Stimpson and wife, Prof. Wileox and wife, Prof. Canfield and wife, Dr Marvin and wife, John Hutchings and wife, Judge Emery and wife, B. W. Woodward and wife, Dr. Cordeley and wife, G. Grovenor and wife, Col. H. L. Moore and wife, Dr. Howland and wife, J. D. Bowersock and wife, Mrs. Simpson, Rev. Stote and wife, Geo. March
and wife, Col. Jamison and wife, Dr. Witham and wife, Mr. Burghart and wife, W. F. Cnalfant and wife, Mrs. G. M. Walker, Judge Thocher and wife, Prof. Rudolph, Jennie Walker, Hon. T. D. Thacher and wife of Topeka, W. H. Simpson and wife of Topeka, Mr. Savage and wife, Mr. Kenyon and wife, Mr. Brewer and wife, Dr. Gifford and wife, May Walker, Mamie Stimpson, Mollie Thacher, Nellie Thacher, Maud Lamon, Helen Simpson, Willie Burghart, John Prescott, Denton Dunn, Obe Taylor, Fred Breed, M. O. Billings.
Last Thursday week the ladies of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Chapter invited their gentlemen friends to join with them in surprising Miss Agnes Lowe; so at 9 o'clock a merry crowd wended their way to her home, laden down with baskets, which appeared to advantage later in the evening. The time was passed with card playing, singing Kappa songs and conversation. At 10 o'clock the aforementioned baskets were emptied and an elegant repast, prepared by the fair hands of the Kappas, was discussed, after which amusements were again indulged in. At an early hour the company bade farewell to the hostess and went home, and the boys could not help humming:
“Our very mysterious Not at all serious. Glorious to K. K. G.”
Especially the glorious part. Miss Lowe has made a host of friends here who will miss her much, but who will unite in wishing her a most happy life in her new Indiana home. Those present were Misses McKinnon, Smith, Lowe, Howe, Lou Palmer, Nellie Palmer, Kimball, Hadley, Stimpson, O'Bryon, Freeman and Henshaw; Messrs, B. P. Blair, Graham, Lewis, Jackson, Griffith, Riggs, Allen, Stimpson, F. E. Reed, Harry Buckingham, L. T. Smith.
EDITOR VIEWS:—I do not think that fraternity men, on leaving school and engaging in a business which requires them to look to the public interest, should allow fraternity rivalries to cause them to neglect their duties. I believe in the freedom of speech, but when one is employed to act for the public he should lay aside individual enmities and prejudices.
The neglect of two young editors on our city papers, to notice one of the most elegant parties ever given in this city, simply because, as fraternity men, they were not invited, strikes the average man as rather beneath the high standard claimed by the fraternities. These editors are graduates of the U. of K., and members of fraternities. And when not invited to a party given by one of the college fraternities (although each was bountifully supplied with all the delicacies those present enjoyed), they seem to have taken a childish revenge in not even referring to it in those papers for which they are employed to gather news. These young men would do well to remember that it is news the public wants, and that they are paid to find it out and see that it gets to the papers; and further, that when they deliberately leave out items of this kind, in which many of the best people are interested, they allow a petty fraternity strife to not only injure the paper they represent, but they also lower themselves in the public estimation.

A Correction.
In last week's Courier there was a communication in the "Views" department, signed "Chairishinks," reflecting on the city editors of the two Lawrence dailies. That the statements it made were mostly malicious falsehoods, was plain to be seen, and it is unnecessary to contradict them. The writer can not be found, as naturally no one would wish to acknowledge the authorship of a communication which is palpably the product of some aggrieved individual, witoout regard for truth. It is a well known fact that for any party which is desired to be written up, an invitation to the reporters is necessary. This rule applies to the Courier as well as to the city papers, and is recognized as proper. Where invitations are not extended to the press, it is taken 'or granted that no report is wished.
The commencement week exercises will be opened up next Friday night by the Oread-Orophilian contest. Oread will be represented by Harry Smith as orator Denton Dunn as debater; Ella Kopes as essayist; L. A. Stebbins as declaimer. Orophilian's representatives are F. E. Reed, orator; A. G. Hager, debater; Gertie Crotty, essayist; and Eva Hoadley, declaimer. The well known literary merit of the performers promises a good contest.

Notice.
The business managers of the Courier have appointed Mr. Yearsley White collector of subscriptions. All whose subscriptions for the current year remain unpaid, should pay him or the business managers immediately.
Decoration day should be appropriately observed. It is hoped that all will take part in the exercises of the day in a proper"spirit. The recollection of the dangers through which the Union has passed; the remembrance of those who sacrificed life and fortune on the altar of their country, can be attended with nothing but good. As we honor those who have preserved our country, we will learn to love and keep the same blessing for future generations. Few monuments mark the place where our soldiers sleep; nor do they need them. In the hearts of their countrymen they have erected a more lasting monument, "around whose base the flowers of memory will bloom forever."
The following from the Kansas City Journal of Tuesday, written by the Topeka correspondent, speaks in high praise of the University:
"The Journal correspondent was this morning permitted to read a private letter from Pres. Elliott, of Harvard University. It has the following high compliment to our Kansas college. Speaking of western colleges, Pres. Elliott said: 'The Kansas State University is the best college in the west, with the possible exception of Ann Arbor University.' Coming as this does from the head of the leading college in the United States, it is a deserving compliment to a Kansas institution, in every way deserving the good words said."
The catalogue of the department of music comes from the press neatly bound and well arranged. It shows the department to be keeping pace with the other branches of the University. Although this is a new department, established in 1883, it has already reached a degree of efficiency superior to that of many other institutions.
The number of pupils enrolled in the instrumental classes reached 10;
vocal culture, 17; total, 67. This is certainly encouraging for the department, and speaks well for the energy and ability of the dean in charge.
The concerts given by this department have been highly pleasing and instructive to the public. Its popularity seems to assure a future as prosperous as the past.
The strongest advertisement which a University can receive, is the work of its students. The word of one who has attended the University will go further than a whole library of catalogues and special advertisements. Every student can do something to build up the University. Do you know of any students in your town or near it who think of attending some college? If you do, go and see them at once when you return home. Show them that they will have friends here. Take along a catalogue. Study it first yourself. Fill them full of University. Tell them the old standard jokes. In the absence of further entertainment, give them a copy of the Courier. It takes only a little such work to so completely "spike" a student that whenever they think of school the University comes to the front as the standard. Besides this personal work, every one can write something for his home paper. The editor will be pleased to publish the article and it will be a benefit to the writer and to the University. Make up your mind to do this work. All papers in the state want a report of the commencement exercises; accommodate them. The report will be much better received from a student who is known, than from the correspondents in the Kansas City papers.
In arranging for commencement, the matter of expense plays no small part. It has been considered an advantage possessed by western colleges that the expense of graduation is so slight. It is, indeed, an advantage, and it should be maintained. For this reason we regret to see a tendency in the opposite direction in the University. Each commencement seems to demand more display than the preceding; every year the expense of graduation seems to increase. More than one student has left school near the close of their Senior year because they could not afford the expense of graduation.
We hope the Senior class this year will return to the former custom of the University, and reduce all expenses to the minimum. There are some members in every class who need all the advantages of economy. They have worked their way through school, and can ill afford to have an extra burden thrust upon them in leaving the University. The Senior who has wealthy supporters is inclined to think, since he is about to finish his college days, that an extra display is proper and very desirable. This may be quite true, as far as he himself is concerned, but he has no right to vote heavy expenses on other members of the class. The ability of the poorest to pay should be made the standard by which the class is governed.
The lower class men of the Phi Psi fraternity, having suffered severe defeat at the hands of the Juniors and Seniors of the same fraternity in a goat riding contest, challenged
the latter to a game of base ball. They met in the green south of town and fought to the finish, the juveniles winning an easy victory; score, 29 to 16. Prescott and White were the battery for the plebs, and Little and Rushmer for the patricians. Good work was done on both sides. Among the brilliant plays of the game was the successful escape from right field made by Dunn, when the ball came in that direction. The first ball thrown by Prescott, which took the batter in extreme parts, demonstrated that he was no ordinary thrower, while a base hit made by Crane when he slipped on second, was heartily applauded. With the exception of a few sprains and bruises, no damage was suffered by the players. The boys are encouraged to try another game.
The State University, in keeping pace with the growth of the state, is constantly broadening out and adding to itself new departments. The latest addition is the department of pharmacy, which is now drawing to a close its first year. The work done in the past nine monthsis very satisfactory "indeed" to all who have been connected with it, and the prospects for future greatness are very gratifying to those in charge. At first there was considerable doubt about its success, owing to the lack of proper support; but the state legislature, realizing the importance and necessity of this department in the University, very magnanimously made appropriations for the needs of the pharmaceutical school, and made the professorship an established chair of the University, under support of the state. This insures the success of the school, and as soon as the contemplated improvements are made, and the workings of the department get fairly under way, as good a school of pharmacy as any in the land may be looked for. That the pharmaceutical department will continue to grow in greatness, there is no doubt, and Kansas will be fully able to educate her own druggists in the future. To this success great credit is due to the man at the head of the department, who has proven himself fully competent, and has labored unitingly for its advancement.
If there is any one solicitous for editorial honors, we would be pleased to see him. We have canvassed this subject carefully, and find that there is no such thing as editorial honor. Look in Webster; Worcester; bring out your cyclopedia—You can not find the expression in print. Editorial honors, like faith, are "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence"—and very faint evidence—"of things not seen." When first elected editor, it was with no small estimation of importance that we took up the editorial pen—the editorial pen, we will explain, is a toothmarked stub of a lead pencil, about an inch and a half long. But the most pleasant dreams are the soonest ended. It was necessary to write something. Here was the difficulty. I sat down and thought—of nothing. I analyzed, sympathized, generalized, without result. I then tried pacing the floor. The results were better. I soon perceived that I was getting quite heavily charged with thought. I seized the pen, but like a leyden jar, the charge was lost at the first
contact. Well, this is only a faint picture of the operation through which an editor must pass every week. But still the copy must be forthcoming. If you could step into the editorial sanctum and hear the "wailing and gnashing of teeth" of the editor-in-chief, when on the last afternoon before going to press he finds that the editors are three columns "short of matter," you would have little desire to enter the journalistic field.
The saying that nothing succeeds like success is quite generally accepted as truth. However, we see so many exceptions to this rule, that we are inclined to reverse the sentiment, and say that nothing is so ruinous as success. The student who can succeed in taking a great number of honors, must possess more than ordinary judgment in order that his success may not be an injury to him. A feeling of superiority and self sufficiency are almost sure to be the result. The person becomes careless; rests too confidently upon the support of past reputation; considers it beneath his dignity to do his best. He soon loses his reputation and finds that while he has been dreaming of honor, others have overtaken and passed him. The same remarks hold true in regard to fraternities. Beta, Phi Psi and Phi Gams have climbed up and down like mercury in a barometer. Whenever a fraternity becomes so successful that it can spend three nights in the week in self congratulation, it is sure to go down. Constant effort is the only means by which supremacy or even respectability may be maintained. It will never do to trust to the honors gained by two or three members of a fraternity. The only assurance of stability is in the high scholarship and unexceptionable deportment of all its members. This is a truth which every fraternity man should remember. He has no right to trust to the reputation of his fraternity to hide his deficiencies as a scholar, and as to conduct, nothing ought to be said. Yet, it is a fact that many fraternity men, under the protection of an honored name, do not hesitate to do things for which they would be ostracised from society were it not for the support of their fraternity. A student who will so conduct himself as to constantly require explanations and apologies for his actions from his friends, must have a low sense of honor.
Incidents and Accidents.
We hope the Seniors will not allow themselves to be imposed on this year as they did two years ago. That year several of the class were wealthy and they concluded to have a class day which should surpass all former entertainments. Without regard to the inability of some of the members of the class to pay, they secured a band from Kansas City, printed costly invitations and made arrangements for costly floral tributes. It was fun for the rich, but the poor members of the class had to suffer. One Senior at least, after paying his share of the class expenses, took the train for home, feeling unable to bear the further expense of commencement week.
Right here we wish to speak of another matter relating to commencement—floral tributes. It is hoped that no gifts of any kind will be presented to the speakers. It is very pleasant for the person receiving tributes, but for those who are so unfortunate as to receive none, the feeling is quite different. I speak from painful experience. When a fellow sits on the platform and sees all the other performers sighing and snifling over a "slight token," a very present desire for absence is likely to siege him. He feels as though he had swallowed a vacuum and it had begun to dilate. It was not many years ago that a Senior, after passing through this painful experience of class day, shook the dust from his feet and went home. He told me afterwards that he could not bear the mortification of sitting on the platform commencement day and seeing his classmates receive floral tributes while he received none. If friends will insist on sending flowers and other tributes, let them be presented outside of the chapel. It will detract little from anyone's enjoyment, and will add much pleasure to many.

Josh Billings, in one of his most polished orations, exclaimed: "Thunder and lightning—more weather!" He gave expression to a very prevalent opinion. Every time I go down the street my attention is called to this fact by a dozen flags and as many individuals. The great interest which all classes take in the weather, seems to assure its perpetuity. We may perhaps be permitted to indulge a pardonable pride in the possession of such a valuable article as weather. It is one of those blessings handed down to us from former generations, which we are bound to preserve. It is positively necessary to all social life; without it conversation would be impossible. It is the force which overcomes the inertia of embarrassment and makes speech a possibility. I have dived deep into the subsoils of history and find that no nation has ever reached a high plane of civilization without weather. It is the one ground which all men occupy in common. Here the rich and poor, the learned and the ignorant, meet on a plane of equality. On the subject of weather the opinion of one man is just as good as that of another, if not better. In weather we have a panacea for all social ills. It establishes long friendships, arbitrates long standing quarrels, pours oil on the course of true love, and makes life bearable. Far distant be the day when we shall have no weather.
It is greatly to be regretted that the work required of the faculty prevents them to so great an extent from visiting throughout the state in the interests of the University. One of the members of the faculty, by making special effort, has traveled quite extensively at his own expense in this and adjoining states, and has done much to bring the University before the people. From the success of his efforts it seems as though an agent of the University should be kept constantly in the field. It is hoped that the legislature and regents will see the advantage of this plan at an early day.

Many a time and oft have I heard our revered and dignified chancellor inform us from the chapel rostrum that "while attendance to chapel exercises during week was not compulsory except on Friday, students were earnestly requested to be present." So I have learned at last that attendance on Friday morning is compulsory. I found this out (? ) last year. I attended regularly two times; the third time I was actually compelled to be absent, and for experiment did not hand in any excuse. As this worked so well I concluded to try it again. Since then I have been in chapel on Friday three times—merely by accident, however—and strangely enough, have not heard from the Doctor as to excuses at all. Now if they are going to make attendance on Friday compulsory, why on earth don't they do it? If, on the other hand, they are not going to do it, will the faculty give us a rest on the subject? R. T. WILLIAMS.
Our library is greatly in need of a few first class newspapers. We have money appropriated almost every year for our library. Now if a few good papers like the Kansas City Daily Journal, Harper's Weekly and the Chicago Daily Tribune were taken, would it not be much more acceptable to all the students than that much money invested in as many dollars worth of booksb As we, or at least a great many of us, will return next year, let us see that this want is filled. If the great state of Kansas is too poor to furnish us with a few good papers, let us get up a subscription and raise the money to send for them; or if this is not satisfactory, let us have a strawberry and ice cream festival. At any rate, let us have the papers. CITIZEN.
On Wednesday circus was here. There was a pretty general attendance of the faculty and sub-Freshmen. The collegiate, in the absence of Col. Fritz, were unable to secure proper rates, and of course refused to patronize the affair. However, the circus was well attended. Early in the day the teams began to flock into town, coming from all directions. The children came—we are always glad to see the children. On some wagons we no less than a dozen embryo athletes, faces aglow with expectation and dust, straining their necks to catch the first glympse of the circus tents. In not a few instances, a mixture of turkeys, butter, chickens, strawberries, eggs and rhubarb, gave promise of an entrance ticket and ten cents "spending money." On the streets the merchants were busy exchanging cash for rural productions. Even Hope was busy—so one of the Freshmen reports—receiving pawns of coats and pants from fathers eager to "show their children the animals." For peculiar and pecuniary reasons, we did not attend the circus—that is, the inside of it. However, the procession was good, especially the "kids" marching behind the elephant. I noticed about fifty students watching the proceedings from the shade on Massachusetts street. Most all had been excused from recitation to rehearse their oration in chapel, and one was absent on a subpoena to attend a dog fight. They all pronounced the procession a success.

The highest literary honors conferred by Yale College are the six Townsend prizes, given annually to the writers of the six best original orations, the competition being open to all members of the Senior class. The significant feature of the award is that one of the six successful men, Phillip Battell Stewart, is captain of the ball nine, and that another, Frank George Peters, is captain of the foot ball team.
In 1887 a Greek national exhibition upon an unprecedented scale is to be opened at Athens, contributions toward which are now sought. One feature of the affair which is likely at once to attract the pleasure seekers and the archaeologists of other lands, is to be an exact reproduction of the ancient Olympic games. This curious revival if successful, is to be repeated, as in ancient Greece, every four years. The games will take place at Olympia, in the neighborhood of Athens.
The Topeka Athletics, a ball club which is playing a series of games for the amateur championship of the state, will play the University club this afternoon. Ropes will be stretched around the grounds, and 25 cents admission will be charged. Members of the University Ball Association will be admitted free.

The fraternity members stack up as follows: Collegiate, 94; Sub-Freshmen, 33; laws, 8; pharmacy, 6; music and painting (not counting names twice), 6; total, 148. The above is according to the last catalogue.
The upper classmen of the Phi Psis played the lower classmen of that fraternity a match game of ball last Monday afternoon. After playing three innings, the score stood 29 to 16 in favor of the lower classmen. Both sides then became tired out, and the game was discontinued. Several brilliant plays were made. Highbargin umpired.
