A Pointer to Old and New Students.
All new students should subscribe for the Courier at once. Remember the Courier gives you 46 FRESH, SPICY issues each year, while the Review, with its usual energy (?) (!) gives you 10 stale issues of matter copied largely from the Courier, the remainder being from one month to sixteen years old. The Courier is 50 cents, the Review $1.00 If you want to be an old fossil, you will find the Review especially adapted for you. If you want to be live and up with the times, take the good old RELIABLE COURIER.
We acknowledge the receipt of the Report of the State Horticultural Society. The volume is very complete and quite interesting. Among other things we find an extract from a letter of Gen. W. S. Sherman, worthy of note by our readers:
"Last summer Mr. Bayard, secretary of state, who had just come from your State University at Lawrence, where he had made an oration, asked me in the presence of several gentlemen if I had ever been there, and if I had ever seen a more beautiful rural landscape than the one from the college hill up the valley of the Wakarusa. Of course I had been there many times, and admitted it was, beyond question, a most lovely view, justly entitled to a fair comparison with that from Pilot Knob, near Leavenworth; that from the soldiers' home at Washington; or the most famous of all, that looking up the valley of the Thames, from Richmond Hill, above London."
The Standard on the University.
The Leavenworth Standard has a two column article from a Lawrence correspondent styling himself "Republican," which gives an accurate, interesting history of the State University, and a statement of its condition. The article is one of the best ever written on the subject, and the correspondent and the Standard have placed the University and Lawrence under obligations.
After giving full statistics as to attendance, instruction, alumni, faculty, and a brief history, the writer in the Standard says;
"I well remember when the State University was founded, twenty-one years ago, little thinking I would have personal use for it; but with others worked to some extent in the newspaper line to help it along. It seemed to grow slowly. From the time it was started until the present I have watched its progress with a good degree of interest, and if there has been a steal or scandal connected with it, I have never heard of it. It seems to have been managed by persons who wanted to see such an institution in the State, and that it be a successful and prosperous one.
It has been said that the fair sex have not always had an equal chance with the men. This is a mistake. No partiality is shown. Every scholar stands on his or her merit. No narrow, exclusive system of education shuts out the daughters of Kausas from receiving an education equal to that of the men.
The University is steadily gaining, and already its usefulness is being felt in all parts of the state, and even in the states and territories beyond. It is a first class University, with a well organized faculty, well equipped museums, laboratory and apparatus, and a library of 8,000 volumes. The location is good. Lawrence is an educational town, and while many of her citizens take a lively interest in her schools, far too many care but little for them. Often when very interesting exercises are being held at the University, but few citizens of the town are present."—Evening Tribune.
The Fall term opens to-day, Wednesday, with good prospects. The first and second days will be given wholly to examinations and enrollment. On Friday morning at 10 o'clock the first general assembly will be held. All students are expected to be present. The feature of the occasion will be the delivery of the opening address, by Hon. T. Dwight Thacher, of Topeka. Citizens of Lawrence and all friends of the University are most cordially invited to be present on this occasion. After the address the classes will meet the various professors in their lecture rooms, and in the order of the schedule of daily recitations. The class room exercises will consist merely of the formality of meeting, the assigning of work, instruction in regard to text books, etc. The schedule of recitations will be found in the catalogue and also on the bulletin board in the corridors.
It is greatly to be desired by the faculty, that as far as possible, all the work of enrollment be attended to on Wednesday and Thursday. After this all the professors will be occupied with the regular term work, and it will be practically impossible to attend to enrollment except in the early morning or in the afternoon. This will needlessly burden the professors and also retard the enrollment of students.
All old students will enroll by calling on Professor Robinson and recording their studies for the term. These studies should be selected carefully, so as to avoid subsequent changes. The card containing the selected studies, signed by Professor Robinson, will be carried to the clerk's office, where it will be filed. The clerk will not receive the con-
These cards in the clerk's will be of use at once in making out a complete schedule of students work for the term. It is extremely desirable therefore that they be free from error and subject to the fewest possible subsequent changes.
ingent fee except on the authority of this card.
New students will call first at the chancellor's office, No.2, where they will receive instructions as to the examinations or the transfer of grades from the accredited High School to the University books.
Candidates for admission for the first term to the Law, Music and Pharmacy classes will call also at the chancellor's office where they will receive instruction as to where they shall go for enrollment. Old students in these departments will go directly to the dean in charge of the department, where cards of admission to the clerk's office will be received.
Prof. J. W. Green will be found in room No. 11; Prof. MacDonald in music room (No. 17), next south of the hall, second floor; Prof. Sayre in chemistry building; the enrollment committee, in No. 10, on the first floor, at the north end of the building; Prof. Robinson will occupy his own class room, No. 24, on second floor, north end, west side. Examinations will be conducted as follows: Mathematics, in No. 9; Geography, descriptive and physical, No. 8; English, No. 19; U. S. History and Constitution, No. 15; Natural Philosophy, No. 16; Latin, No. 26; Greek, No. 25; French and German, No. 21; Drawing, No. 31.
"Our University."
Under the above heading a recent writer in the Topeka Commonwealth gave a long and well written description of the life and works of the University. After a few short introductory words he says:
President Elliot, of Harvard, recently said that "The State University of Kansas is the first institution of learning in the west, with the possible exception of Ann Arbor."
Twenty years ago it began its career under the chancellorship of Rev. R. W. Oliver, D. D. After him, followed General John Fraser, L. L. D., a graduate of the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, whose successor was Rev. James Marvin, D. D., L. L. D. The present incumbent is Rev. J. A. Lippincott, D. D. The first faculty consisted of a president, two professors and one lecturer, of whom the two professors, Snow and Robinson, are active and honored members of the present faculty, and in the prime of life and uselfulness.
The faculty for the year 1886-87, will consist of the chancellor, sixteen professors, seven assistants and one instructor—twenty-six in all. Of these, one is a graduate of Dickinson college, Pennsylvania; four are graduates of Williams college, Massachusetts; one of Rochester university, New York; two of Alleghany college, Pennsylvania; one of Dartmouth college, New Hampshire; five of the University of Kansas; two of Yale college, one of Cornell, New York; one of Harvard university; one of Hiram college, Ohio; and the others are graduates of special schools.
Five of the number have been students in the German universities, and
two have been fellows in the John Hopkins university, of Baltimore. Professor. L. W. Spring, D. D., who so ably filled the chair of English literature, recently resigned his position in the University in order to accept a professorship in Williams college, Mass., and the vacancy has been supplied by the election of Professor A. R. Marsh, a graduate of Harvard, who will enter upon his duties at the opening of the fall term.
The faculty, as now constituted, consists of trained and experienced educators of the highest moral character, and in every way qualified to fill the high positions to which the state has called them.
Here follows a list of the members of the faculty as is given in the catalogue, with the addition of Profs. Marsh and Templin.
Speaking of the departments, he says: During the first year of its existence there were in the University fifty-five students, all of whom were in the preparatory department; and in the years following there was a great increase in the proportion in favor of the collegiate, until in the eighteenth year was witnessed the elimination of the first year of the preparatory course; the nineteenth that of the second year, and the Normal department was dropped at the same time. The result of such action was that 352 students were at once debarred the benefits of the University, and fears were entertained that it would be disastrous to the immediate welfare of the institution. But the twentieth year of the University's life shows that 143 students were in the sub-freshman or preparatory classes, and in the University classes, including law, art, pharmacy, music and collegiate, there were 276 students. Such a result shows the asplendid condition of the University ud the truth of President Elliot's, remark. During the past year, too, a stricter and more rigid classification of students was made.
The following are the departments of the University: First, science, literature and the arts; second, law; third, pharmacy; fourth, music; fifth, art; sixth, elementary instruction. There is also a preparatory medical course extending through one year.
Here follows a description of the various buildings of the University, which, though very interesting, can hardly be considered as news to the students. The article continues:
Newspapers, scientific, literary and art journals, a University science club and a University philological club, University lecture course, general literary exercises, as well as other facilities, furnish a large and varied amount of attractive features of great importance to the students.
The people of Kansas have in their midst—and at their very doors, so to speak—a first class University, with a large and well organized faculty, with well equipped museums, laboratories and apparatus, a library of 8,000 volumes, and a location that for health and beauty of surrounding scenery, is not equalled anywhere else in the United States. Kansas, though young in years, is great in material prosperity, great in territorial extent, great in her history, great in the character of her people, but greatest of all in the magnificent foundations that are laid for the educational and social advancement of her children. Standing at the head of all her educational institutions, is her splendid State University, whose open doors invite not only her sons, but her daughters as well, to enter and enjoy the privileges and opportunities so bountifully provided. No narrow, exclusive system of education here shuts out her daughters from the enjoyment of a civilization for which they have in a thousand ways shown themselves capable of receiving.

The Gleed-Greer Wedding.
The bride, supported by her father, Mr. Channing Brown, was joined by the groom, who entered from the south door with his groomsman, Mr. Dix Spencer, under the bridal bell, which had been formed of cedar, golden-rod and sun flowers, and suspended over the chancel rail.
The marriage service of the Episcopal church was beautifully read by Rev. Robert Talbot, of Kansas City, after which the bridal procession, accompanied by a few of the immediate relatives of the bride and groom, wended its way to the home of the bride's parents. A shower of congratulations, a hearty good speed, and Mr. and Mrs. Gleed are away on their bridal tour, which will be an extended one east.
Topeka Capital: No more pleasant task has ever fallen to our lot this summer than to record the marriage of Mr. J. Willis Gleed and Miss Grace Greer, which was solemnized in Grace cathedral last evening. The ceremony was particularly beautiful and impressive, and the auxiliary arrangements elaborate and harmonious throughout. Precisely at the appointed time the organ, under Mr. R. W. Vincent's able control, pealed for the strains of "The Bridal Chorus" from Lohengrin, announcing the arrival of the bridal party. The ushers, Mr. Pliny Soper, of Quincy, Ill., Mr. E. G. Welch, of Frank Bonebrake, Mr. Will McFerran, Mr. A. H. Connelly and Mr. Dell Keizer, were followed in pairs by the bridesmaids, Miss Dunlap, of Las Vegas; Miss Nena Quade, of Lyons; Miss Ruth Emery, of St. Joseph; Miss Clyde Davis, Miss Berta Thompson and Miss Mamie Smith, forming a half circle in front of the chancel, the beautiful white dresses of the ladies making a picturesque contrast with the regulation black of the gentlemen. The perfume of flowers and the strains of sweet music mingled with the flood of earnest hopes and sincere wishes that swelled up from the hearts of four hundred of our bravest sons and fairest daughters, filling the little church with an atmosphere of love and beauty that did honor to this happy and popular young couple, and shall in years to come hover over them like a benediction.
We quote the following for the benefit of new students and others, from the pages of the Lawrence Evening Tribune:
The COCHIER has been gradually improving, and now is one of the best college papers in the United States. It is bright and newsy and has the cordial support of all the students of the University. It should be well supported by Lawrence business men, as it is emphatically the medium through which to reach the students.

We would announce to our subscribers that the Courier management has appointed Mr. E. L. Swope to take charge of the circulation. All University and city subscriptions are to be paid to him, and orders for subscriptions are to be sent to him.
The base ball grounds have at last been enclosed. This now makes it possible for our base ball club to be self-sustaining. Nothing would give the Courier greater pleasure than to see a good University club. There is no doubt but our ball players could organize a number one club if they would only keep to work. Get a nine and keep it, not an entire change of players for each game, and K. S. U. will come to the center in base ball circles.
The average student begins each college year with a host of good resolutions. His studies shall be kept well in hand; his hours be the most regular; his bills paid with promptness and dispatch, etc., etc. Now these are all very good, and if they be kept, so much the better. But the chances are that they will be broken time and again. Yet this need not dishearten the collegian. Books are not everything, and the failure to lead a class need not cause extravagant regret. After all, college is the place where we fit ourselves for active life, and it is not the knowledge so much as it is the character that we take away with us that is of the most importance. He who fails honestly, may command the respect of the world, while he who wins dishonestly loses even his own. If you have made resolutions, as no doubt you have, stick to them. Study to stand high in your classes, but study more to be a man, true to yourself and to your fellows, and your college life will be a success.
Advice to New Students.
Don't be too backward.
Don't stare at everything.
Don't worry the chancellor to leath.
Don't look at everyone as if you knew him.
Don't walk in the middle of the sidewalk.
Don't loiter in the corridors, or you may get "fired."
Don't neglect to consult the Courier for any information you want.
Don't neglect to subscribe for the Courier, after securing a boarding place.
Don't go searching at random for a boarding place, but consult the columns of the Courier.
Don't go from one room to another as if you were shot out of a gun, but walk about with a dignified pace.
Don't subscribe for any paper but the Courier. It don't pay, and nobody that knows anything does it.
Don't climb Mt. Oread too fast at first. It induces consumption (at the table) and will frighten your landlady into raising her bill against you.
Don't forget to obey these injunctions.

The Courier, with this issue, will fall into two hands of many for the first time—new students and others. To these we would state what the Courier is, and what it is for. The Courier is the representative students' paper, and is run in the interest of the University and the students. The Courier is owned and controlled entirely by a stock company of students, a share in which may be obtained by any member of the University, upon application to the business managers or secretary of the company.
After some consideration the management of the Courier have decided to leave the subscription price at fifty cents, thus keeping the paper within the reach of all. Of course the Courier is worth a good deal more than fifty cents, and no college weeklies, and very few other papers like this are given at so low a price, but we desire to have the Courier a representative student's paper, and want everyone attending the University to subscribe for it. At such a very low price we expect to see the paper in the hands of every student. In the past our large circulation has enabled us to make the Courier a cheap paper, and with the aid of all students both new and old we confidently expect to keep it so. Long live the Courier.
The following clipping is from the Cincinnati Times-Star in reference to Miss March, the recently appointed teacher in the musical department of the University: "At the residence of J. M. DeCamp, Esq., Mason street, Mt. Auburn, last evening, a farewell reception was tendered Miss Anna E. March, who to-day leaves the city for Lawrence, Kansas, where she has accepted a position as teacher of vocal and instrumental music at the Kansas State University.
For eight years Miss March has been identified with the musical culture of the city, and has been most highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends on Mt. Auburn and throughout the city. Her presence has added a charm and pleasure to the social circles in which she has moved, and she has proved herself a most faithful and efficient teacher of the art she loves.
The large company assembled, while regretting deeply the departure of Miss March, could but congratulate her on her highly honorable and promising field of labor opening up before her, and the University at Lawrence is certainly to be congratulated at securing so valuable an acquisition to its faculty. One of the pleasant features of the evening was the presentation to her of an elegant diamond scarf pin by her friends of the Mt. Auburn Methodist church, Mr. DeCamp making the presentation speech in his usual happy manner. Music and refreshments added to the pleasure of the evening, and the good byes were said with most sincere wishes for the happiness and success of the departing friend and artist."
Students needing lamps to study by should go to J. A.Dailey's crockery store, 819 Mass. St., where you will find a good stock, and special prices to students.
--and it is cash talking to the boys. We are willing to give 100 cents worth for a dollar, 16 ounces to the pound. If, after a trial, we fail to meet your approbation, we will surrender up the Belt and quietly retire from the field.
C F. Hutchings returned to work yesterday.
Memorial services were held in University Hall in honor of the late Amos Lawrence. The room was filled with those who came to do reverence to the honored dead. Suitable addresses were delivered by Dr. Lippincott, Gov. Robinson, and Dr. Cordley. Prof. Marvin furnished excellent music for the occasion.
The chancellor, with his usual energy, has made an interesting innovation in the opening exercises of the year. The students will assemble in the hall at 10 o'clock Friday, and besides the ordinary instructions, will listen to an address by the Hon. T. D. Thacher. We are glad Mr. Thacher has been chosen, and we speak a large and attentive audience.
The business men should not forget the efficiency of the Courier as an advertising medium. We display your advertisements in the most attractive manner, and our circulation include about all the students, and also a very large number in the city. Advertise in the Courier and you will secure the best customers in your city.

Sol Smith Russell has appeared for two nights before large audiences with marked success in his laughable new comedy, "Pa." Those who have not seen him, should not fail to to-night, as it is his last appearance. Sol is as funny as ever, and if you want to enjoy yourself go and hear him.

The students, both new and old, should not fail to visit the great fair at Bismarck. It is not like the average county fair, but in every department gives the finest exhibition to be seen anywhere. The racing program is first class. Thousands of people attend every day, and under no circumstances should any one fail to see it. Remember the greatest fair this week that can be seen in the west. Admission is only 50 cents to all departments.

Mr. Geo. Innes,
Imported Key West and Domestic cigars, all of the finest brands, at Smith's News Depot.
The popular merchant and students' friend, is in the east getting in his fall stock of dry goods. We venture to remind all students, new and old, to get their dress goods of him, as he carries the largest and most complete assortment in the west, at bottom prices. Mr.Innes does a very large trade, and can therefore afford to sell goods on small profits.
Harris.
Is still with John Egner, the new confectioner, at Mull's old stand. The new firm carry an excellent new stock of fruits and confectioney, but retain the venerable Mr. Harris to serve up suppers and banquets. Students will also find it convenient to leave orders there for hauling their baggage etc.
All the best brands of cigars and tobacco at Smith's News Depot.
The COURIER wishes to start the year on good terms with all; therefore, we will admit that the Bakerites are all moral and upright young men; that the Washburn boys can play ball a "little bit," and the girls sing
charmingly; and that the pupils of the Podunk township, Hooppole county, district school are bright, good looking, graceful, moral, etc., etc. We are a little "touchy," however, and the first one that says a "sassy" word to us will get a slap in the face.
The Courier has from time to time recommended to the students and citizens the best houses in the city to deal with; but never before could we more cheerfully direct you to a leading dry-goods house than to A. D. Weaver's extensive house. Mr. Weaver has just returned from the east and is now opening the largest and finest stock ever opened here. In special lines of goods he cannot be excelled. Mr. Weaver is a courteous and popular business men and justly deserves the immense trade he secures.

Notice.
We would announce to our subscribers that the Courier management has appointed Mr. E. L. Swope to take charge of the circulation. Subscriptions paid to others will not be recognized. Please remember this when you pay.
With the present number of the COURIER we lay down the editorial pen. This afternoon the company will elect a new editorial staff. We hope that their editorial experience will be as pleasant as ours has been. To this end we will refram from giving them any advice. The one great glory of editorial life is that of independence. The editor is not expected to be bound in any manner either by fact or reason. The man aspiring for honors as a local editor doesn't want to know too many facts; his items will be known already and will appear old and flat. In writing editorials it is much better to disregard both experience and reason. Take a new track. The editor is the teacher of the public. Why should he confine himself to thoughts which might be possible to any other man? The public calls for new goods. If the COURIER staff has failed in presenting this, it is because they have been hampered by local events and issues. Bearing this in mind, we will strive with the great mass of the students to conceal all news and give the editors full play. In leaving the COURIER the present staff of editors will not give up their interest in its welfare. Around the COURIER cluster some of our sweetest remembrances of college life. In the COURIER we saw for the first, and perhaps last time, our names in print. It has been the great Jumbo on whose back we rode before an applauding public. Within the local and personal columns of the COURIER we have set ourselves before the public in as many favorable lights as possible. Long live the COURIER —may her columns never grow shorter! "She has redeemed a fallen reputation and shed luster on a dimmed escutcheon—let the curtain fall to slow music!"
The Phi Psis start out with 19 men this year, five of whom are Seniors.
You might as well try to weld a piece of iron to a barrel stave as to join a scholarly student with a butterfly dude by means of a fraternity. The force of cohesion in society as well as in physics unites molecules of a like nature only. New students who are thinking of joining fraternities should bear this in mind. If you are a scholar you will never succeed in forming a warm personal friendship with those whose tastes are altogether different. Move slowly and surely.
We are pleased to see the general good feeling that exists among the various parties in the University. The unpleasantness attending the Review election has apparently been forgotten, and all factions are joined in harmony. Although one party can but feel that they are not fairly represented on that paper, they have wisely consented to suffer what they consider an injustice rather than continue a contest which can but be injurious to the University. It would be well if students would always remember that the good name of the University is worth more to every student than the success or failure of any party in college politics.
It is an unusual thing for the Courier to make mention of city society events, but the Barnett-Steinberg wedding was one of such unusual importance and brilliancy, that it deserves at least a mention. The ceremony was performed Wednesday evening, at 8 o'clock, at Frazer Hall, in the presence of an immense throng of friends. The beautiful marriage rite of the Jewish church united them, the Rabbi Kranskoff, of Kansas City, officiating. The bride is the handsome daughter of our patron, Mr. S. Steinberg, and the groom a prosperous merchant of Jerseyville, Illinois. They were the happy recipients of a check for $2,500 from Mr. Steinberg.
If one may judge from appearances, the one and only great purpose of school life is to build up fraternities. The new student, on arriving, receives little rest until he has joined some fraternity. The other day we saw five men, representatives of as many fraternities, surrounding one new student, each endeavoring to entice him from the others and "spike" him. I have no idea that any one of the parties engaged had any interest in the student more than his selfish desire to defeat his rival. The "rushing" of men in the University has never before been carried to such ridiculous extremes. There once was a day when it was an honor to be a fraternity man, but that day has gone by. As a fraternity man we say it is pleasant to be associated in a fraternity, but it is no longer a necessity in order to stand well socially in the University. We have an able-bodied reverence for the new student who refuses to be "rushed" into a fraternity. If you don't feel able to join a fraternity, don't join. Your position in the school is not dependent upon fraternities. Be independent. You will be respected for it.
We would advise students looking for boarding places to select from the Courier list, as they are all desirable places.
By Hon. T. Dwight Thacher Before the University Std.den.s, on the Occasion of the Opening of the New College Year.
A FINE ADDRESS.
The large University hall was well filled this morning to hear the address by Hon. T. Dwight Thacher, of Topeka. After a few preliminary remarks and announcements by Chancellor Lippincott, Mr. Thacher was introduced as one of the steadfast friends of the University.
Mr. Thacher regretted that he had not had time to prepare the elaborate address the occasion demanded, but he would try to suggest a few thoughts which would be useful. Many of these young men and women are at the University for the first time. It is an event in their lives. They have stood in the awful presence of the chancellor and the ordental has been safely passed (applause.) The faculty has been found nothing more extraordinary than any other body of good-looking men. They are getting acquainted with the old students. The latter are the veterans of the University legions. They are those who determine the character and standing of the University, and make or mar its reputation.
Youth is the season of infinite possibilities. Everything is on a grand scale. There seems to be nothing which is impossible. But youth is transient. You can be young but once. There is no power which can turn back the tide of time. Remember that this is a fleeting period. The advantages which you now enjoy can never be renewed to you. Time is of infinite value. A student's time, if lost, can never be regained.
It is important that the students of the University realize their relation with it. They are on a different basis than that of the students of those institutions not of the state. At a private institution it is largely a matter of business. If you do not work it is merely your loss. If you lose time it is your misfortune. But the buildings of this University were erected, the expenses are paid by money raised from the tax payers of Kansas, not merely those who have children here, but also those who never had and never will have any. So if you lose your time and opportunities here you waste the investment made by the state. For each young man and woman who goes through the four years course, the state pays $1,000. Therefore, realize that you are a part of the state. You are the children of the state, and it is incumbent on you to perform your duty. What are these duties? The state wants you to do your work as laid out in the curriculum not to put in your time on outside things. The state does not care whether you can dance play bail or row a boat, but it does ask you to do your work as required by the college curriculum. You are here for a definite work. Do it.
Then you have others who look to you for returns. The expenses in the preparatory school and college are not less than $2,500. You also invest your own time. Every day you lose is that much taken from your owo investment- Do what you came here to do. You cannot spend one day on your studies and the next on something else and accomplish any result. A visit home is pleasant, bu
it will make you weak in your classes. It is the duty of a lawyer to win his case, and if he lose, there is little comfort for him in being a ball player or a dancer.
The chief difference between an educated man and an uneducated man is not that the one knows more than the other, but that he can do more than the other. You must discipline your brain to do what you wish. If you do this you will find you are greatly stronger. Be thorough. There is too much partial knowledge. The man who knows one thing well is the successful man. No one man can secure all knowledge Make some portion of the field of knowledge yours. Be accurate in what you know It will make your labor easier and more effective.
Keep a high idea. A man is much what his idea is. There is a power which draws us to what we want to be. Don't be satisfied with half-way work. Don't try to deceive your professor in making him think you know your lessons when you do not. You cheat yourself, not him. Have honor. Let your word be as good as your bond. Imitate the lives of great, good men. This University should have great scholars. You have not many chances to be president, but you can be good scholars, be good, square honest men.
In beginning once again the work of the University, on behalf of the faculty and the friends of the institution and of yourselves, I extend to you our best wishes. A Kansan has a right to a proud spirit, and everywhere he goes he lifts up his head and proclaims that he is a Kansan. You, young men and women, are to be the future rulers of the state. Improve these opportunities you now have. Make yourselves able to say you are worthy citizens of this grand and glorious state of Kansas.
The address was one of the finest ever delivered in the city. At its conclusion the audience showed the appreciation they felt by long and continued applause.-Tribune.
--what is known as Western Fraternities.
In the tragic ending of Wirt W. Walton last week, the University has lost a true friend. Appreciating from his own experience as a public man and editor, the benefits of a good education, he ever gave his aid and vote to that which he thought to be in the interest of the University. In the legislature, in his political life and in his own paper he showed his deep belief in the higher education of our youth.
Sigma Chi.
The sixteenth be-annual convention of the Sigma Chi fraternity met in Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 7th, 8th and 9th.
C. L. Smith represented Alpha Xi Chapter of K. S. U. The convention held its sessions there by the invitation of Alpha Gamma Chapter of the State University at that place.
The convention assembled with delegates from all parts of the Union, on the east as far as New Jersey, and California on the west, from Michigan on the north, and from Texas on the south.
The convention was opposed to all eastern extension, although the fraternity has about eight chapters in the east, the south and west is preeminently its field of labor, and it undoubtedly stands in the front rank of
The first day of the convention was mainly taken up in forming the various committees, and to completing a permanent organization.
They commenced the second day in discussing the reports of the committees and amending the constitution and ritual statutes, although there was no essential change made in either. Also, the recent revocation of the charter of the Hillsdale Chapter of Hillsdale College, Michigan, occasioned quite a discussion, but the action of the triumvirs was unanimously sustained.
The election of officers occurred the third day. Hon. O. S Brumback, from Toledo, was elected Grand C.; and W. L. Fisher, of Chicago, was given the magazine for another two years; Hon. P. F. Clark, of Lincoln, Neb., was elected Proctor of the sixth province, of which Kansas is a part.
On the evening of the second day of the convention Mrs. T. Ewing Miller, of Columbus, gave a grand reception to all the Sigs, which was one of the grandest affairs of the season.
Several other distinguished guests were there besides Sigma Chis, such as Governor Foraker and wife, and other state officials and families. The convention ended with a grand banquet at the Neil House, and literary exercises. The oration was delivered by Hon. O. S. Brumback. Following this was Chas. T. Murray's paper on "The Collegiate," It was a narration of his own college experience. His paper was filled with brilliant wit and forcible hits, for which he has become renowned as a newspaper correspondent. Then came a poem by M. M. Miller, and if the genius that everywhere manifests itself in the poem is any indication, he will some day become a renowned poet. Each selection of music which was rendered between every literary production, was written especially for the occasion. A quartette from Dennison University, Granville, Ohio, rendered several Sigma Chi songs, the whole company joining in on the chorus. Toasts were proposed and were enthusiastically responded to by many prominent members. The convention was pronounced a success in every point, and the meeting closed with three rousing cheers for Sigma Chi.
A Cowboy at West Point.
To most people, and especially to young men, West Point is looked upon as a sort of paradise, where a young man can get a good education without work, wear a gaudy uniform, draw his pay from the government regularly, shine in good society, and have a great time generally. How much mistaken his dreams are can be seen by the technical name given it by the cadets—"HADES ON THE HUDSON." I will venture the assertion that there is more real hard work done at West Point than any other school in the country. It is one of the places where they don't believe that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Every cadet is busy from six in the morning till ten at night. They believe in the eight hour system you see-eight hours in the morning and eight in the afternoon and extra time on Sunday.
One of the first things that struck me was the different classes of young men that come here. At K, S U, we

were all from Kansas and had the peculiarities common to Kansans, but here are gathered young men from every state in the Union. From Maine comes the hard working, puritanical young man with a look of firmness and determination written in every muscle of his face. From Boston comes the young man of culture who despises the common herd. But this spirit does not last long, or the young man does not stay long, one of the two. Then there is the generous Virginian; the fiery Georgian; the lazy Freshman from Louisiana; from Posey county, Indiana, comes the young man who never saw a pair of cuffs, and who blacks his shoes with tallow and takes snuff. But why enumerate, when every class and kind imaginable can be found here.
Kansas has had several graduates, chief among them being Mr. Sebray Smith, of Valley Falls, who graduated in 1886, and now occupies a very important position in the civil engineering corpse, and is situated near Washington, and Mr. Kuhn, of Leavenworth, who graduated in '85 at the head of his class. Mr. Kuhn's average was one of the best ever made here. Kansas has but two representatives here now, and both are old K. S. U. students—McAlexander, who is a member of the 4th class, and yours truly. McAlexander will be remembered by students who attended in '82-83. Two men from Kansas failed at the entrance examination in September.
**
For the benefit of my friend Vic Linley, I will give the states that the leading men in each class are from, in order to show him that all the brains in the country are not lodged in southern heads. Pennsylvania headed the list in '87, and of the first ten men in the class she furnished three. She has the reputation of furnishing better men than any other state in the Union. Pennsylvania also heads the class of '87. '88, I will have to admit, is led by a South Carolinian, but California comes second. '89 is led by Massachusetts, with Illinois second. If I could have Vic here for a few hours, I could also show him that all the pretty women don't live in Kentucky.
**
Talking about pretty girls reminds me that several cadets are struck on Lawrence girls through their pictures. There is a tall, handsome young man from New York all broke up on Miss ___, but perhaps I hadn't better give it away. But when they saw the pictures of the I. C. girls about a dozen cadets were going to resign and start for K. S. U. at once. As one of the Michigan boys says, western beauty beats the eastern every time.

I suppose it would hardly do to pass over the scenery here without a word, but to tell the truth, I am in the same boat with the man from Illinois, who having spent the summer in Switzerland, was asked about the scenery and responded, "Aint no scenery there—too hilly—give me Illinois for scenery, every time." So I say give me Kansas for scenery every time.
**
One of the first things to learn here is to obey, as we have been told every
day since our arrival. Obey every body and everything that is over you, and the matter of rank is a very hard one to understand at first. Lowest on the list are the 4th class men, then the gutter sweepers, and then the 3rd class men, etc. It is a matter of grave offense for a 4th class man to pass any of the above mentioned persons by without saluting. Several men are in light prison now for not saluting the commander's dog. I suppose it is all for the best to have to obey everybody, for as Xenophon said of Cyrus, "He first learned to obey that he might better learn to command."

--gets little enjoyment or instruction out of his own.
The Review, our fossilized E. C., appeared last week, under the new management for the first time. As the editorial force is new and inexperienced, we hardly suppose that they want this issue considered as the best they can do. The literary articles are very good, both being productions of members of the faculty. The editorials are like the hits of a poor base ball nine—weak and scattering—but the cultivated wit of our genial friend W. T. Reed seems to gleam forth in them occasionally. In one place the Review makes the statement that the duties of the clerk's office have not always been conducted with justice and impartiality. It is but a few months since the chancellor himself said under his signature in the columns of the Courier that justice to the clerk compelled him to say that the office had been conducted in strict accordance with the rules laid down by the faculty. After all this there seems no necessity for the Review to make such breaks, but then, some people never will believe anybody. The Review's opinions, of course, don't amount to anything, but we dislike to see misstatements thrown upon the public. The local and personal departments of the Review are rather stale, consisting mostly of items which have been published before in the last four or five issues of the Courier. Come, brace up, Review.
I Have Noticed.
That the shortest route to honor is along the road of humility.
That a man does not appear half so smart after he joins your rival fraternity.
That the man who is always trying to tear down the reputation of successful students, is generally unsuccessful.
That one has to know a great deal about a subject before he is willing to keep quiet while others talk.
That the "Knocker" which appears in Grecian history is very much like the one used by our Colonial Fathers.
That the student who has the loudest voice in the corridors can hardly be heard in the class room.
That the professional jokes are amusing the freshmen just as they amused us four years ago.
That the fellow who is always having sport at the expense of others.
That it is an easy matter to slip down on a muddy crossing; but it is hard to see what the by-standers are laughing about.
That those who laugh at sentiments because they are old, can seldom tell accurately or intelligently what those sentiments are.
The *Tribune* says "Some wicked, misguided youth rang a chestnut bell on the chancellor's speech last Friday." Jep Davis says he can lick the man that called him a "wicked, misguided youth."
That the student who can afford to attend the theater three times in the week, is a poor person to lend to.

Henry McLean, '87, was married Aug. 31st, to Miss Belle Coble, one of Marion's most charming young ladies. After receiving the best of good wishes from their many friends, they left the following day for their future home at Ness City, where Mr. McLean will practice law. The Courier extends congratulations.
Last Friday evening the college branch of the Young Mens' Christian Association held its first meeting for the year, at the rooms of the city Y. M. C. A. This branch of the Association was organized in the University last year, and continued through the year with a fair membership. In order that the work of the Association might become better known among the students, several receptions were given, and the same scheme will be continued this year. It is the wish of the old members to increase the membership to the largest possible number, and with this view they invite the notice of both the old and new students to the fact that any member of the University can become a member of the Association whether they belong to any church or not. Church members, however, are the only ones eligible to office. The Association will meet every Friday evening at the city rooms, and a cordial invitation is extended to all young men.
Married, at the home of the bride's parents, in Ottawa county, Mr. J. D. McLaren, of the class of '86, and Miss Minnie Trew. The young couple will take up their residence in Kansas City, where Mr. McLaren occupies a position in the city schools. The Courier wishes its old editor-in chief and his fair bride a happy journey through life.
Every student will be glad to hear of the good luck of Will Brown. There never has been a boy in the University more admired and liked than he. The following from the Lawrence Tribune explains all: "A letter received this morning from William H. Brown, of the University, announces his plans for the coming fall. He is now with Prof. Hornaday, the U. S. naturalist at Washington, D. C. Lately $750 was appropriated from the Smithsonian funds to pay the expense of a buffalo hunt. There were applications from a whole host of naturalists, taxidermists and others, but Mr. Brown was the only one chosen to go with Professor Hornaday. The U. S. troops will be called on, and the cow boys aid secured when necessary, but only the two form the party. Arrangements have been made by which the Kansas University will receive part of the specimens taken on the trip, upon the payment of part of Mr. Brown's expenses. This will keep Mr. Brown out of the University till January. No one is more deserving of the luck which has befalled him than is Will Brown. A good hearted, conscientious, industrious and ambitious
fellow, he is bound to succeed, and all his friends will wish him well in his new work.
McLaren remembered his Phi Gan brothers with a liberal supply of cake from his wedding feast.
The pharmacy laboratory will be ready for occupancy next week. It is estimated that this department will consist of over forty students. This is a good showing.
M. J. Keys has consolidated the Scott City Sentinel and Times of Scott county, under the name of The Sentinel. This paper has the largest circulation in the county and is one of the best papers in western Kansas. M. J. is making money rapidly. The Courier congratulates.
The following ladies were initiated into the I. C. Sorosis Wednesday evening at the home of Miss Cockins; Hattie McCague, Nellie Griffith, Nannie Love, Hattie Miles, Emma and Lysle Hynes. After the ceremonies were completed, a jollification was held, with the help of the gentlemen friends of the Sorosis.
To-night and to-morrow night the great spectacular play "Zo Zo" will be presented at Bowersock's. "Zo Zo," the Magic Queen, is a strong play. The leading role will be played by Miss Blanche Curtisse, a Vassar college graduate, and she will be supported by an unusually strong company. Be sure to take this play in, as few theaters equalling it will be seen in Lawrence.
Next Wednesday, the 22nd, the celebrated Patti Rosa will play the side-splitting comedy "Bob," at the opera house. The play is a fine one, and admirably fitted to bring out Patti's best parts. Lawrence has never shown Patti Rosa the patronage her excellence deserves, and we hope to see a large audience greet her next Wednesday. Her songs and dances are unequalled, and we must say that she is one of the most charming little actresses we have ever seen.
Solon T. Williams and Miss Anna Dickerson were married Tuesday afternoon in Washington, D.C. Mr. Williams is one of the brightest young attorneys at the Lawrence bar, and has an auspicious future before him. Miss Dickerson formerly visited in this city, and was popular and esteemed in her circle of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Williams are expected to arrive in Lawrence Wednesday night, and will at once begin housekeeping on New York street, north of Warren. —Tribune.
A Fine Firm.
If there is a firm in Lawrence that we can heartily recommend as the best firm we ever dealt with, it is the firm of Feld & Hargis, the old reliable dealers in books, stationary and student supplies. Their store is always so neatly arranged, and Messrs. Field and Hargis are both such agreeable gentlemen that it is always a pleasure for anyone to drop in and see them and look over their excellent stock. Realizing the fact that they receive so large a share of University patronage, they make a special effort to please the students, and will get you any book you may desire for companion or reference or special class. If they do not carry it in stock they will procure it sooner than any one else. Patronize Field & Hargis if you want satisfaction and low prices.
Students needing lamps to study by should go to J. A. Dailey's crockery store, 819 Mass. St., where you will find a good stock, and special prices to students.

Brown went to Washington last summer with the expectation of paying his own expenses, but he was found to be such a valuable helper in the work at Smithsonian that he was placed in a good position with good salary, shortly after his arrival.

Notice.
We would announce to our subscribers that the COURIER management has appointed Mr. E. L. Swope to take charge of the circulation. Subscriptions paid to others will not be recognized. Please remember this when you pay.
From the first issue of the WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER to the present time, it has taken a position in the highest ranks of college journalism. Every Friday morning of the past two college years it has appeared, with columns filled with bright, spicy, newsy items concerning the happenings of the University and the students. It has been welcomed and enjoyed by every person who is connected or has ever been connected with the University. It has been pre-eminently a students' paper, edited, controlled and supported by the students.
It has done more throughout the United States, the state and the legislature, to further the interests of the University and to build up its reputation, than has any other paper, magazine or periodical ever published.
To the former editors and managers of the COURIER; to those who have toiled early and late, in school and out, that the COURIER might live, does the honor of having made it what it is, belong. To them are due the thanks of the regents, the faculty, the students and of every one who has the interests of our grand institution to heart.
With this issue of the COURIER, the new board of editors assumes control. The company has decreed that for one long year we will be able to realize a long wished for experience to run a newspaper. May it be a happy year for us all.
In assuming control of a paper, as of anything else, it is not best to make too many promises; they might not be kept. The only wish and promise that we can make is that our most earnest endeavor will be to make the Courier for the coming year what it has been in the years past. If we are able to do this we will be satisfied. If we do not, all we ask is that we be not judged
harshly; that the fault be laid rather to our inexperience than to our negligence. Time will tell. "Be patient till the last."
Ring up the curtain.
Pharmaceutical Department.
No department of the University has ever in so short a space of time enjoyed the merited success which has attended the above named department. Established but one year ago, considered a doubtful venture as to its ultimate success, it has. under the guidance of Prof. Sayre, come to occupy a position among the pharmaceutical schools of our country, which may well be envied by schools of longer standing. Combined, as is this school, with the various departments of a large University, it necessarily gives to its students a broader and more comprehensive education than can be obtained at any special school of pharmacy.
The outlook for the coming year could not possibly be more bright. From the numerous applications received, and the large number of students already enrolled, it is estimated that the Junior class alone will contain over thirty members.
During the vacation Prof. Sayre has travelled quite extensively in the eastern states, reviewing old work, inspecting new methods and appliances, visiting old, well established schools, was for some time at Harvard University inspecting the latest laboratory methods and works in physiological botany, etc.
While on this trip he purchased many new and costly appliances for the use of the students in the new laboratory.
During the summer work has progressed very rapidly on the laboratory in the basement of the chemistry building. Within a few days it will be ready for occupancy. The large, airy, well lighted room, such as this will be, will greatly facilitate the workings of the department. Next June this department will take its place among the other departments on the commencement program.
To those contemplating a preparation for the profession of druggist, no better opportunity is offered than at the Kansas University. To those who wish to combine the knowledge of this profession with that of a higher education, the opportunity is perfect.
The instruction given one is at once impressed as coming from one who has made pharmacy his life work, not as a teacher only, but as a practical pharmacist, who knows by experience that which is learned only by long experience—the minute details which a new teacher is sure to overlook. A graduate of the University college of pharmacy must therefore feel he gains, besides a diploma from one of the best institutions in the country, an experience which could not otherwise be obtained in so short a time. A talk with one of the coming alumni shows that the faculty have developed already a pride in the new department. Its members will consider it not only an honor to show the diploma, but to wear the badge of this infant school.
The Topeka Capital speaks of the COURIER as "The best college paper in the Union." Right you are, Capital.
There seems to have been a great mistake made in the location of Snow Hall. There are very few places in the city of Lawrence where it can be seen to any advantage. From no place, except in the extreme western part, can any part below the second story of the building be seen. From the eastern and southern parts of the county it can not be seen at all, on account of the main and chemistry buildings. It may be that no better part of the hill could be found when it was located, but certainly the present position is very poor. Let us be more careful when the greenhouse is built.
There has been times in the history of the University, when the enrollment of new students exceeded that of the present year, but there has never yet been a time when the enrollment of new collegiate students has equalled that of this fall. The new Freshman class alone, will in all probability exceed one hundred members. The board of examiners state that the average of the examinations are much higher than ever before. The enrollment in the law and pharmacy departments will also be greater than ever before. Taking into consideration the hard times and the late drought, this is a splendid showing, and one not anticipated.
--to the library or the periodicals on file in the reading room. The arrangement will be so as to include all in one wing, and probably on the second floor.
Heretofore the Exchange department of the Courier has been very much neglected. It has been almost impossible to secure an editor who would take the necessary time in reviewing the many magazines and periodicals which are received by the Courier. An exchange column properly attended to, is of the most interesting of the columns of a college paper. It gives the readers a broader idea of the work of other colleges, destroys many wrong and deep set prejudices, and gives him a better knowledge of the many institutions of our country. The editors of the Courier hope in the future, to conduct a column of this kind in which the work will be as full and complete as in any other department of the paper.
Quite an extensive change is to be made in the location and arrangement of the library as soon as a suitable place can be obtained in the building. The change has long been contemplated, but owing to the crowded condition of the main building, it has been impossible to carry it out. The erection of Snow hall and the subsequent moving of the natural history department, makes the change an easy matter. The inconvenience of the present room, both in regard to size and location, demands that something be done. There are many books belonging to the University which it is impossible to find place for in the present crowded condition of the shelves. The library has occupied its present position for many years, and has not only the library itself outgrown its quarters, but the increased number of students makes it necessary to provide more ample quarters for reading and study rooms. And this idea will be worked upon—to make the library proper, the reading room and the study room separate from one another. They will of course be placed adjacent to each other, so as to be convenient to refer
Our old friend C. F. Scott, in his excellent paper, the Iola Register, always puts in a good word for his Alma Mater. We quote the following on the new custom of the opening of the session:
The fall term of the State University was formally opened last Friday, with an address to the students by the Hon. T. Dwight Thacher. The manner of signalizing the beginning of a new term is something new under the sun, and strikes the Register as a good thing. In the first place, the matter is mentioned by all the papers in the state, and the University is consequently advertised, which is good. And in the second place, the new students get told a good many things—so long at least as men like Dwight Thacher address them—that they are much the better and wiser for hearing. Every man who has taken a college course can give plenty of “pointers” to young men and young women just beginning such a course, that will be of immense advantage in getting them started right, which is half the battle, if the old adage is to be believed. So we hope the custom thus happily inaugurated will be made perpetual.
The next state oratorical contest will be held the second Friday in February, one month earlier than last year. In order to give the representative of K. S. U. a fair show, the contest here should be held, if not before the Christmas vacation, at least immediately thereafter. The importance of giving our orator a good long time to prepare to meet his rivals at the state contest is manifest. In Illinois the state contest is held this month, the colleges having selected their orators last spring. This is the custom in that state, and consequently the orator from Illinois is always found in the front rank, and more prizes have been taken by representatives of the Sucker state than by those of any other. At the last meeting of the state oratorial association in Topeka, the general sentiment among the delegates was in favor of each year making the time of the contest a little earlier than that of the preceding, and finally getting the Kansas contest fixed for the fall of the year. This matter is respectfully submitted to the oratorical association.

BASSETT—BROWNE. —Again two old University students are joined in the everlasting bonds. Miss Mac Bassett was married to Mr. E. L. Browne, of Las Vegas, New Mexico, at 1 P. M. last Tuesday. The ceremony was performed by Dr. Beatty, according to the impressive ritual of the Episcopal church. The bridal party took the 4:30 train for Chicago, where they will spend several weeks, after which they will return to their future home in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The Courier extends to them its best wishes. Owing to want of space the long list of presents received by the newly wedded pair is not mentioned.

Reminiscences of By-Gone Days
EDITOR COURIER :—Your invitation to me to write something for the COURIER, on any subject I please, and as long as I please, is a piece of rashness I can only understand when I remember that it is your first experience in journalistic management. He who sows must reap what he sows, and he who rips must sew what he rips. If my latest venture bring down upon your Hyperion curls glowing fire-brands of wrath, be it the penalty of your own recklessness.
I have thought over and over for some subject which might not set your readers to jingling their chestnut bells. "The Fraternity Question," "Co-education," "College Prizes," "Society Dissipation," "Class Examinations" and many other kindred topics have I revolved over in my cranium, in an endeavor to discover some new feature. But each and all of these have been boiled and fried and roasted and scrambled in the Courier stove, until there is not a fresh atom left. So in desperate despair, I have resolved to dish up a few reminiscences. Not that my career in college was in any way a peculiar one, or that a greater variety of adventures attended it than befalls the average chap who has climbed Oread's slope for four years.
I belong to the last generation of students. Not one of those who entered the University with me yet inters in Dame Oread's halls. For long days and weeks before leaving my parental home for the University, I had pondered on the awful importance of the undertaking. I had studied the catalogue with the profoundest zeal. I was deeply impressed with the strict disciplines to which I would have shortly to submit, as conveyed by the catalogue. The high standard of scholarship requisite for admission, as revealed by the catalogue, was likewise a source of deep anxiety; but I hoped to be able to make the Junior Prep. class. My greatest trepidation, however, was caused by the thought of having to come into the presence of those great and erudite dignitaries who composed the faculty. It read in the catalogue that "a student's best friends are his books; and every student should bring what books he has as works of reference." Holy Moses! How mightily I was impressed with the need of following that injunction. I gathered me together the readers, and the spellers, and the geographies, and the grammars, and the arithmetics, and the copy-books, and the slates, and all that had marked my school days from infancy up. These were all packed in a huge box that made baggagemen groan. Those books were never resurrected, for I soon learned that they would be of no earthly assistance; and I presume they are to-day rotting in some forgotten corner of a Lawrence boarding house.
My journey to the city of the classics was uneventful, other than that I formed the acquaintance on board the cars of one of those creatures whom no student will ever forget—a boarding mistress. After being assured that the fare she served was up to the standard of catalogue stipulations—"plain and wholesome, but not luxurious""I engaged board. I am willing to hold up my hands and swear that I never ate plainer or less

As to the wholesomeness—well, opinions do sometimes differ.
I will not prolong my sketch by going to the detail of my first few days. Suffice to say, that I was surprised to find professors much as other men; and was shocked to discover that they descended to the levity of jokes. I was deeply moved by the chancellor's remarks on discipline, and in accordance therewith attended prayers with religious fidelity, never lingered in the corridors, got into classes promptly, and observed the minutest regulations promulgated by the faculty. The greatest gratification I had was passing as regular Freshman, where my highest ambition had not taken me above a Junior Prep.
The first event of importance—of transcendent importance—in my early days was heralded to my notice by reading on the bulletin board that I was to make my debut on the rostrum on a certain day of a certain month, at a certain hour. Freshmen were expected to pour forth their eloquence in declamations, but my aspirations lay in higher realms. By special permission of Prof. Canfield, I was to be allowed to electrify the chapel, crowded to hear me, by an oration composed by myself for the special occasion. No ballet master ever studied and planned the effects for his troupe of shapely maids preparatory to the opening night of opera, with more assiduity than I devoted to my masterpiece of oratory. The subject was "The University." With pathos and with glowing eloquence I pictured forth how Mount Oread, which belched forth freedom's fire against the invading rebel host, was now the domain of knowledge; and perorated to the effect that "the University stood a fitting and everlasting monument to those who had died martyrs to the cause of the Union." I knew the day of its delivery would be for me a day of triumph. I sent the oration to Prof. Canfield for such finishing touches as he might add. Ten minutes later he sent for me. "Smith," said he, "I wouldn't deliver that piece if I were you." "Why," gasped I, terribly crest-fallen at this view of things. "Well, went on the Prof.," "this is the way it will go: You will deliver your piece, and it will set the house afire. The fellows will run up to you and congratulate you and tell you what a magnificent effort you made, and all that! Then when you turn your back they'll say, 'What an unconseccionable fool that Smith is!' Now take my advice, and don't deliver it. Label it 'to be opened in twenty years and read,' and store it away to be taken out and read at the end of that time, and see what you then think of it.' I reluctantly submitted to his judgment, though doubting its wisdom; and saved myself the worst chafing I ever got in my life, for a worse piece of spread-eagle pathos was never inflicted on a civilized community. Professor Canfield gave me an Episcopalian funeral sermon, or something just about as sprightly, which I spoke with a half-hearted despair. It passed uncongratulated, unnoticed. My famous oration was never delivered.

The Great Concert By the Chicago Schubert Quartette will be given next Thursday, the 30th inst., at the Congregational church. As well known as the Schubert Quartette is in Lawrence, it is hardly necessary to say that this will be the finest vocal entertainment of the season in Lawrence. The Quartette is same as last year,and a new soprano accompanies them, who is said to be very fine. Having frequently heard the Schuberts, we can heartily recommend them to the students and say that no one should fail to hear them.

A Socialistic Question.
It takes a long time to learn the grocery business. Just where and what to buy, and what to give your customers for the least money, takes years and years of experience. It is, therefore, to the interest of everyone to deal with an old established house—such a house, for instance, as J. M. Wood & Co's. Mr. Wood is one of the oldest grocery men in the city, and knows just how to buy to give his patrons the benefit of low prices and at the same time the very best articles of every kind known to the trade. Mr. Wood absolutely refuses to keep anything but pure and unadulterated goods, and you can depend upon it that he will carefully fill your orders with just what you order. This firm is just now giving very particular attention to students' clubs, and Mr. Wood assures us that in the matter of discounts he has a plan which will give as good satisfaction as any other firm can make. It will at least pay you to go and see him, and make arrangements to give him a trial.
Abe Levy has the finest stock of shirts on the market. Call and look it them.

We have a tremendous line of pads—or scratch books—coming in a few days. Look out for them. Bigger bargains than ever.
FIELD & HARGIS.
We want to assure the students who have so liberally patronized us, that it is our misfortune, not our fault, that our supply of books has not satisfied the demand. We had filled our shelves with a stock that we thought would supply a large proportion of the students, but as our trade has been better this term than ever before (for which accept our hearty thanks), we did not have near enough books. We have re-ordered, and now can give you everything you may need, we trust.
An Apology.

There will be a match game of ball to-morrow afternoon between the University club and the Business College nine. It will be played on the Massachusetts street grounds.

A certain young man, prominent in Beta circles, recently called on a certain young lady residing at a certain place known as the "Nunnery." The time flew, the young man carried and all went merrily and joyfully. But the spirit of mischief was on the wing. Suddenly the alarm of the alarm clock rang out on the still night air. What was that, was it the rising bell of some sleeper? The young man hastily left, and the young ladies who had fixed up the scheme fled to their rooms in joy. Now there is war and mutterings of revenge at the "Nunnery."
The Senior boys have concluded of decorate their ceraniums with the regulation silk stove pipe. Juniors, Sophs, Freshhes, will you allow it? What have we done that we must endure all this?

A pleasant reception, principally for the new students, was held last Friday at the home of Mrs. Dudley Haskell. The hours were from 7 to 10. The reception was largely attended, and a pleasant time is reported by all so fortunate as to be present.
BASE BALL ASSOCIATION. — The first meeting of the year of the Base Ball Association was held last Friday at the end of the fourth hour. A committee of three, consisting of Prof. Canfield, E. F. Neal and W. McBride, was appointed to confer with the Lawrence association in regard to the use of the ball park. Monday another meeting was held, at which the committee made their report. It was decided that a subscription paper be circulated among the students and faculty for the purpose of raising the necessary funds for the establishment of the club on a firm basis. Jep Davis was elected captain for the ensuing year.
A SEVERE ATTACK. — Some poor student of the University had it bad when he wrote to the Leavenworth Standard as follows:
"LAWRENCE, KAN., Sept. 20. 1886. The school year, with its pleasures and pains, its light and shadows, its sadness and gladness, and its little heart pains, has begun. 'Twas but yesterday we grasped the hands of friends in fond farewell. To-day we grasp the hands of new friends in greeting. Another year with its memories and its dreamful fancies have gone, and another year with its hopes and possibilities takes its place. The prophecies of yesterday are the memories of to-day; its dreams, today's realities."
It is dollars to cents that the poor fellow had been taking in Bismarck fair, Sol Smith Russell, Devil's Auction, and perhaps some of Leavenworth's lightning liquid, when those "memories, dreamful fancies, hopes and possibilities, prophecies," etc., oppressed him so heavily.
We always knew "our Fritz" would come to the front, and here he is: "Prof. Fritz closed a very successful course of instruction in elocution this morning. During his short stay in Nevada he has proven himself, by his method, his mastery of the art, his diligence and devotion to his calling, admirably fitted for his work as a teacher of elocation and oratory. The closing exercises consisted of recitations by the pupils, followed by selections by Prof. Fritz. The professor is a reader of fine ability and possesses rare qualifications as a teacher. His recitation of "Claudius and Cynthia" was a vivid picture. His rendition of the "Flower Scene," from Ingomar, and "Old Dog Bowser," were especially enjoyed. With his fine voice and practical knowledge of his art, he certainly ought, at no distant day, to reach the topmost round of the ladder."
