Saturday the University club crossed bats with the Business College club, at the grounds on Massachusetts street. The game was poorly played on both sides, and was decided at the end of the seventh inning, when the score stood 20 to 20. If the University club would practice, they would be one of the best clubs in this section of the country; but in order to play ball it will be necessary to practice at least twice a week. We would like to see games arranged with Washburn and Baldwin before the season is over.
While in Germany Prof. Carruth purchased for the French and German departments of the University busts of several of the most prominent writers and statesmen of France and Germany. These two departments have now busts of Lessing, Voltaire, Rousseau, Luther, Louis XIV, Moliere, Goethe, Schiller, the Crown Prince of Germany, Bismarck, Molkte and Emperor William of Germany.
NEW STUDENTS RECEPTION.—One of the most delightful receptions ever given to the students, was that given last Friday evening to the new students of the University, by the college branch of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. The large, spacious halls of the city association was thrown open to their use, and for several hours were filled with the bright, happy faces of our new students and their entertainers. A short program, consisting of words of welcome by W. S. Alien, a song by a quartette composed of A. L. Sloan, F. J. Gardner, Maud Thrasher and Luella Moore, and an address by Prof. Canneld, was carried out. At a suitable nour elegant refreshments were served to their guests by the societies. After the refreshments the time was spent in social conversation, and not until a late hour did the throng disperse to their homes, voting the members of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. most hospitable entertainers.
LIBRARY RULES. — The librarian wants it distinctly understood that when students taking papers off the rack knock other papers down, that he or she is not expected, under any circumstances, either to pick it up or replace it. This is the librarian's special duty, and one in which he takes great joy.
When any one takes a paper off the rack he must not return it to the same, but must leave it where he or she might happen to be reading. The librarian loves to gather up the papers scattered around the room, and will be under great obligations to whomsoever will obey these rules.
In case the aforesaid reader should inadvertently return the paper to the rack, he or she must not in any case return it to the proper place, marked for it, but must hang it as far from said place as he or she can possibly do. This will necessitate a long and difficult hunt for the paper by the librarian, or the next student who should happen to wish it. The librarian requests the obedience to this rule as a personal favor. Such deeds of kindness are sources of hilarious joy to him, and he will ever remember the student so doing with feelings of deep love and gratitude. Every new student is expected to attend faithfully to the above rules.

"Where are your conversationalists?" asked a prominent educator of the writer of this article, when the University and its students was the subject under discussion. "I have known several University students who were good writers, but have failed to meet a good talker." The criticism seemed at the time to be one of those hasty judgments which people are always so ready to make; but conversation with other students reveals the fact that the criticism is more general than I had supposed.
A prominent attorney of this state, after meeting a University graduate in a Normal Institute, said: "He appears to be a bright student; but it is a disgrace for any institution to send out a man who pronounces his words so miserably. The University teaches students to grunt and mumble words instead of talking."
These criticisms are perhaps extravagant, yet I am convinced that there is so much truth in them that neither faculty nor students can let them pass unnoticed.
It is a fact that students in recitation form the habit of speaking in a suppressed voice, often pronouncing their words so indistinctly that few in the room can hear what is recited. The student begins a full answer to a question, but as soon as he reaches the "test point" in the sentence, the professor throws in the final clause, and the student closes his recitation with an approving grunt or whisper, dependent upon the amount of air present in his lungs when relieved from duty.
What is the cause of this defect? It is not weakness of lungs. It is lack of energy. Students most enthusiastic in study have not enough energy to talk. It is a sad fact that the higher the class the poorer the recitation as regards both pronunciation and completeness of sentences. There seems to be a cold indifference that represses the natural man and makes him a reciting machine. If a student presumes to give an answer with an inflection of voice that indicates that he is at all interested, a weary smile passes over the faces of his classmates, who seem to pride themselves on the fact that they know enough to let the professor do their thinking for them.
A prominent student—a senior—said the other day: "I wish we could discuss some of these questions in the class. But there is no use in attempting it; the class will think one is a "crank," and the prof, will think he is impudent; so I generally keep still." This explains why we have so few good talkers. The students are taught not to talk. The student who tries to fan the opposition is called a crank and pedant. The first attempt at a clear, distinct sentence is rung down by the chest-nut bell.
The time has come for a change. We need enthusiastic men—students who have the courage to be in earnest and talk in earnest. The weary, dreamy reciting posts should be rung out.
There is an organization located in the city of Lawrence, and which has its branch in the University, that does more in furthering the cause of religion among the students than any church in the city—and we might add, than all the churches combined.
We refer to the Y. M. C.A. and the college branch.
Say or think what you will, in this busy world of ours it is the practical that wins in the long run, and it is this practical side of our natures which the Y. M. C. A. grasps and by which it holds us. It appeals to us directly, interesting us in its works, in spite of ourselves.
In the many ways in which it guides and helps the student over the hard places of his college life, and in the many ways it interests itself in his welfare, it gives him a better, kinder and nobler idea of his fellow-men and of the religion which is the basis of the work the association accomplishes.
In its reading room; in the amusements it provides therein; in the pleasant, homelike character of its parlors, it provides a place for the student to spend his leisure hours, and where he is always sure of a welcome.
Long may it live, and continue the Christian deeds in which it is engaged.
Class spirit is something that the University students have been sadly in lack of. Last year there was but one class party, and that would not have been but for the kindness of one of the young ladies of the class in throwing open her home to them. Now this year if the classes would only take our advice and lend their energy toward class spirit and unity, and not to wrangling, as they did last year, they would prosper more, and there would be more friends and fewer enemies in every class. The Seniors are now considering the subject of plugs, which they will never have unless each one concedes something and does not try to run the affair in the interest of his fraternity. Our advice to the Juniors and Sophomores is to do "mortar boards." They are not only studious looking, but they will also create a class spirit
which we hope to see some day take deeper hold on every class in our University.
There is a branch of the great organization known as the Salvation Army holding meetings in G. A. R. Hall, in Lawrence. The workers in the "good cause" are several old men, unkempt and ignorant, and several females, whose appearance on the rostrum is far from showing that modesty and deep humility which one would suppose to be in accordance with the religious work in which they are engaged. Their sacred instrument with which they lead the sacred (?) singing, is that instrument which one is apt to associate in his mind with the negro minstrels—the tambourine. Their audience, or congregation, is composed almost exclusively of the idlers, the curious and scoffers. Very few people, we might say none, attend for the purpose of witnessing a religious meeting, or with a sincere belief in the manner in which the army conducts its work.
Their mode of conducting these meetings is as novel as it is senseless. One of the members gives what might be called a sermon, but which is more a passionate, fanatical appeal, with little or no thought or logic, and mixed with bad grammar. The remainder, meanwhile, keep up a hysterical laughing or sobbing, and now and then crying out encouraging words to the sinners in the audience and the speaker on the stand. Occasionally in the lull of the speech they will spring to their feet, and with a wild waving of the arms, begin a common hymn or some doggeral of their own composing, accompanying themselves meanwhile with the tambourine.
What a scene is one of these meetings, for this, the nineteenth century! What a disgrace on our boasted civilization! What a mockery do they make of religion! What a sacrilegious method have they for the carrying on a religious work! They claim that they are working for the salvation of the world; they may sincerely believe that they will accomplish it in this way; they may be people of deep religious feelings; they may be Christians in a true sense of the word; yet to what a course does their ardor and fanaticism carry them. What irreligious, unchristian actions! What a lever is their actions in the hands of the scoffer!
For religion we have but the highest regard; for pure, merciful, loving, Christian religion; for the religion which imparts itself upon every action of a man or woman; for religion which is for every day, every hour, every minute; which regulates every thought and every transaction; which makes every one a loving, selfforgetting brother to his fellow man; for a religion which makes the world happier in every way, will we take our stand. But deliver us from the religion of the Salvation Army.
Within a short time the National Woman's Suffrage Society will hold its annual meeting in Topeka. All the prominent women of the Union will be in attendance. Belva Lockwood,Susan B.Anthony,Mary Livermore and others of equal note and intellect will lend their aid to making it one of the best meetings of the kind ever held.
Most of these ladies live in the
eastern states, and must necessarily pass through Lawrence on their trip to and from Topeka. The University is ever alive to the interest of its students, in providing lectures, etc. Now why not engage one or more of these ladies to stop off and deliver lecture in the University hall; not necessarily on the subject of Suffrage, but on some subject of interest to all. The expense would not be at all great; perhaps nothing more than the expenses of the lecturer while in the city. And certainly the outlay would be more than repaid by the lecture. Even though it be respecting their hobby womans' rights, it would be interesting and well attended. It appears as if we might well get along without some of the dry, uninteresting, incomprehensible lecturers, and lectures which are so often placed in our course, to be able to obtain a few lecturers of national fame, who would deliver interesting lectures.
Consider this well, ye of the faculty.
It has been wisely said that a man has three characters. One that he thinks he is, one that the world thinks he is, and one that he really is. Perhaps this is nowhere more true than in college and of new men. After a year or two of college life a college student's character is apt to be pretty well known. But in an institution such as the University, with so many fraternities, the worth and ability of those just entering is too often misjudged. The fact that a man is but indifferently clad, is no reason to suppose that he has not good taste and a bright mind. That he is so frequently so held has been the cause of the rise and fall of many a Greek letter chapter. Nor upon the other hand, must a man be considered invaluable because he appears "smooth." It is in this case that both others and the man himself are prone to arrive at very erroneous conclusions in regard to the man's character. The school or the men, when judging a gentleman or a student by the clothes he wears, makes a sad mistake. Clothes nor ancestry can not make a man. A father may be capable of occupying the highest position, and his son be entirely wanting in brain and character. Sooner or later the students who typify the world of later years, will find out better, and family or no family, clothing tailor made or ready made, he will occupy the position his ability commands.
Estes Park.
Imagine, if you can, the feelings of a Jayhawker as he rolls for the first time over the western plains bound for the "Rockies," where he is to spend eight short long weeks. Long in the sense that they will form an epoch in his life, and short because they will pass too soon. Yes, they are past; our expectations have been fulfilled, and are passed into indelinite memory, and 'tis now, they say, we are enjoying our trip to Colorado.
On our way the view of the plains was no mean thing, but excuse me from a Forty-niner's experience with them. I am almost tempted to say "if you please" in four languages, as the boys used to at Hotel-de-grab-and-chaw, when they asked for the potatoes.
Our first view of the mountains was obtained about 6:30 A.M. Tuesday, we having started from Lawrence at 11 A. M. Monday morning; at first, seemingly a long, low bank of cloud, which gradually resolved itself into its true nature and form. A beautiful background for a beautiful city. "Denver!" sings the conductor, at 7:30. Here we are busy transferring baggage, buying tickets, etc., till 10 A. M., when we take the Denver, Utah & Pacific R. R. (it takes its name from the fact that it is only five times as long as it is wide, and it is narrow guage, too) to Lyons, its terminus, in the edge of the foot hills.
Immediately surrounding Lyons the foot hills are long ridges composed of tilted strata of a red sandstone of very low formation. This sand-stone formation extends about two miles in from Lyons, and from there, there is nothing but granite rocks. At Lyons there are extensive quarries, as this stone is an excellent building material. Having two hours to wait here for the stage and eat our lunch, we put in our time looking around the city (consisting of two saloons and a depot), and the Jayawkers actually find a real, live, wild pine tree. From Lyons we are taken by stage thirty miles through the mountains to our destination, Willow Park, a division of Estes Park, lying at the very base of Long's Peak, and half surrounded by the snowy range.
All the party were in a mood to enjoy the ride, and this, together with the fact that the drive was really fine, made it one of the most enjoyable events of the summer. The stage-road from Lyons winds up the valley of a beautiful mountain stream, the St. Urain, for several miles, then takes a tortuous route over a divide into Estes Park, which is an expansion of the valley of the Big Thompson. The belt of hills is here about twenty-five miles wide, getting rougher and higher as we go from Lyons, and often on reaching the summit of a ridge we could look over the lower hills behind and see higher, rougher ones ahead. But where is the snowy range that seemed so close to us when we were approaching Lyons aboard the D., U. & P. R. R?. At every turn and from every eninence for twenty-five miles we had looked for it in vain, when at last from the divide that separates the St. Urain from the Big Thompson a group of peaks of about 14,000 feet altitude bursts suddenly into view, with Estes Park in the foreground. From this divide we go at break-neck speed down into the Park between two massive rocks, rising 1,000 feet above the Park—Mts. Olympus and Pisgah. Estes Park is owned by an English syndicate, of which the Earl of Dunraven is a prominent member. This company also control a large hotel near the entrance, in the eastern end of the Park. Besides this hotel there are four ranches which furnish accommodation for tourists—Sprague's, in Willow Park, Lamb's, on the way to Longs Peak from the hotel, James' and Ferguson's, each of which will accommodate from 75 to 100 guests.
About 7 P. M., when the air was growing chilly and the members of the party were growing tired and hungry, two stage loads of passengers, twenty-five in all, one wagon load of baggage and a wagon loaded with about one ton of groceries and provisions, came to a halt in the lower edge of willow Park, on a small pla-
on which demands care. knowledge—a business way of gent's purchasing goods of the best quality at the lowest price.

Looking to the south and west and north, the snow capped summits of the continental divide towered one mile and a quarter above us, behind us Eagle Cliff formed an almost perpendicular wall five hundred feet high, before us were the mooring rapids of the Big Thompson, and within us an indescribable feeling arising from our indefinite knowledge of what surrounded us.
"Now is the winter of our discontent," blandly remarked one of the irresistibles as he contemplated the work to be done in pitching tents, unloading provisions, unpacking baggage; but we managed to get everything temporarily arranged by 10 P. M., when we turned in. About 10,30, when we boys had just fallen into an uneasy sleep, we were suddenly aroused by Prof. Canfield, who came running to our tent all excitement, saying: "Boys, there are two deer at the provisions." Quicker than I can say it we were outside peppering away with our shot gun, one single-shot 44 rifle, one Winchester and a 22 pistol. Bang, went the 44; bang, went the Winchester; pop, went the pistol; bang, went the Winchester again, and 00—00—00—ouw! howled the deer, and away it went down the stream, with all the boys and profs, following it in their bare feet, through cactus and stones; but after looking for it in vain we returned, hoping to be able to find it in the morning. The night was then divided into four watches, for we really expected another deer or two and possibly a bear to come prowling around.
Morning came, and no deer turned up, but it was with feelings of pride that we thought of our night's work. This A. M. the two Jayhawkers went to Sprague's ranche, one mile above camp, to get hay for bedding, and of course, modestly mentioned the fact that they had killed a deer in camp that night. "I guess your deer was a greyhound," said an old hunter who heard the remark. We were convinced, as this explained that particular "oo-oo-oo-ouw!" That evening around camp fire this news was broken to the party. Everybody was very much surprised and inclined to be ineredulous, especially Prof. Canfield, who protested and said that he guessed he knew a deer when he heard it and saw it.
But I must not close without mentioning our watch of the first night. It was full moon and the atmosphere was perfectly clear, while stars shone out with greater brilliancy than they do in Kunsas, even in the absence of the moon. The loveliness of the watch, the appearance of the mountains outlined against the almost black sky, the memory of the incidents of the day and the general circumstances of the situation, provoked a reverie which lead to a state of mind something like faust when he beholds the sign of the Macrocosmos:
"What wondrous show! but ah! a show alone!"

How many fellows now in the University can give the first names of a dozen students? Not one, I'll wager! In the college democracy it's "Jones" and "Smith" and "Brown," unhempered by titles of respect, or honor, or reverence. Of all those I knew in college—and I pride myself on knowing as many of Oread's jovial sons and peerless daughters as the next fellow—I never could have given the first name of a single score of students. How rudely our ears were shocked on commencement day to hear the chancellor call out "James Gabriel Smith," or "Belle Meta Love;" and how we peered around to discover the individuals yelept such godly and ungody names! So the few readers who may have the endurance to wade through these tiresome reminiscences, will understand I mean no disrespect when I speak of the old boys in the only way we ever knew them—by their last names.

BEARDSLEY! What sadness comes o'er my thoughts as I recall the sturdy youths who had to struggle like heroes to secure food for their mouths and clothes for their backs while getting their education. Beardsley was one of these boys—honor be unto him! A fellow of sympathetic heart, of companionable impulses. Well do I remember how myself and four or five other green-horns, all bound for the University, stood on the old Santa Fe depot platform one early September day, bewildered in mind and limb. It was while in this last and pitiful condition that an unctious, self-possessed young chap approached and asked if we were new students, and were seeking good accommodations. It was no missionary from the Young Men's Christian Association, such as greet the incoming fledgings in these haleyon days. Even a blind man would not have mistaken Beardsley for a Y. M. C. A. young man. But Beardsley was, as I before stated, one of those boys who would go down on Prof. Carruth's honor-roll of boys earning their way through K. S. U. Yes, Beardsley earned his way. But he didn't milk cows. He didn't sweep the University. He didn't light street lamps. He didn't set type. He didn't chop wood or build tires or curry horses, or do any of the dozen and one things as other boys used as a means of subsistence. To tell the sacred gospel truth, Beardsley lived by his wits! But to return to the thread of my story:
Beardsley was amazingly courteous, kind and obliging to we poor greenies. In our guileless hearts we voted him a true samaritan. He volunteered to pilot us to a place "where all the high-toned, first class students boarded," which proved to be the Lawrence House. I observed that he entered into a preliminary secret confab with the clerk. In after years I learned the truth. Beardsley faked one week's board out of the hotel on the strength of having delivered his fresh goods just from the provinces. He was earning his education.
Beardsley was a lover of amusements and a connoisseur of the drama. He never missed an opera, though he preferred the light to the legitimate. However, the expense attending the gratification of these luxurious tastes was as low as should become an aspiring but indigent youth battling for higher educational facilities. Beardsley had done duty as a deputy marshal at Bismarck fair, on which occasion he had been presented with a daming red badge "POLICE." It was Beardsley's habit—fitting a lowly boy fighting for an education—to keep this badge hidden under a tightly buttoned coat. On approaching the manager or ticket collector at the opera house door Beardsley would throw wide the portals of his coat, displaying the sessamistic word "POLICE;;" but the minute he received the nod and passed the threshold, the coat would close on the red talisman. Being a poor youth himself, Beardsley had great consideration for those on the stage. Especially did he sympathize with the illy paid ladies of the chorus, and remembering his own hard struggle to provide himself with clothing, he never took offense at the paucity of theirs.
In spite of his poverty, Beardsley was never ashamed to own his circumstances or his position. On a number of occasions when I asked him for various sums of money I had loaned him, he frankly admitted that he was in needy circumstances and could not return my funds.
Unlike most boys who have had to endure the hardships attending the earning of an education, Beardsley was extremely sociable. On the evening preceding his final departure from Lawrence, he came over to bid my roommate and myself good-bye. In the unselfishness of his heart, he offered to sleep with us. He slept, while we tossed. Next morning, graciously overlooking our ill manners in not having invited him, he took breakfast with us.
For a boy who had to toil hard and undergo bitter experiences that he might satisfy his thirst for knowledge, Beardsley had a wonderfully generous and sympathetic nature When on one occasion a certain popular belle of the University, then boarding at Mrs. Prof. Bardwell's, had her washing stolen from the line by some miscreant, Beardsley was the first to write a note offering her the use of his own wardrobe until the needle and the thread could replace the missing fabrics.
The pranks and the jokes and the hoaxes perpetrated in K. S. U. in bygone days have become matters of legend. The suspending of the skeleton from the chapel ceiling, sending the chancellor to Atchison to attend the funeral of a live regent, burning Steinberg's sign, elevating Dr. Marvin's buggy to the dome, turning the University into a dancing academy—what chap has lived a fortnight in Oread's halls and hasn't heard of all these? Among all the devilment which has developed itself in this coeducational school of ours, however, it would take some pretty queer figuring to prove Dr. Lippincott's pet theory that the girls were the coequals of the boys in all respects.

An Explanation.
Quite a number of subscribers last year who paid up, received duns, and quite justly were provoked about it. These mistakes were not made by any fault of the management since the consolidation of the rival Couriers, but previous to that the books of both old companies were very loosely kept and credit was not always given to subscribers. Under the management of the present company, no such trouble will occur, so if you have received one annoyance by the fault of our predecessors, don't blame us. BUSINESS MANAGERS.
Bromelsick keeps the best line of soft and stiff hats in the city. Give him a call.

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.
Prof. Huxiey says that "the living body is a synthesis of innumerable physiological elements, each of which may be nearly described as a fluid possessed of a visessentialis and a solid-escibilitas; or, in modern phrase, as pytoplasm susceptible of structural metamorphosis and fanatical metabolism."
That is what the Courier has always held, in spite of opposition.
There will in all probability be no lecture course this year. The faculty are about evenly divided as to the advisability of continuing a regular course of lectures. Some hold that they are not worth the expense, and that every year they are becoming more poorly patronized by the students. Prof. Carruth, who has always been the most energetic member of the lecture committee, and to whom more than to any one else, is due what success the lectures have had, is no longer a member of the committee.
Whether or not it is best that the lectures should be dropped is a question which could be well argued on either side. There is no doubt but that good, interesting lectures, by noted men of the state or Union, have always been, and would be, well attended by the students. But it is these dry, uninteresting lectures, lectures which no one cares to hear, and which always discourages a person from climbing the hill to another lecture, which have done the harm, and have cast the lecture course into ill repute. We had several of this kind last year.
Prof. Canfield returned Monday from a trip to Chicago, attending the meeting of the executive committee of the National Teachers' Association. Much business of importance was transacted. The principal object of the meeting, however, was to consider the selection of a place of
meeting for the association in '87. Three places were spoken of, Chicago, Springfield and Saratoga. As it is the wish of the association to hold its meeting somewhere in the northwestern states, either Chicago or Springfield will probably be selected. The committee decided to drop the matter until the railroads could be heard from in regard to the rates which would be made by them. Much interest and enthusiasm was shown, and the meeting of '87 promises to be one of the largest and best ever held
There is more sickness at present among the students than for years past. Malaria seems to be the principal cause, but much is laid to the drinking water. Very few wells about Tennessee or Kentucky streets are considered pure and wholesome. How could they be, receiving all the dregs, etc., from the hill. It is strange there has not been more sickness and even deaths from this cause.
The students demand that the work on the water works be commenced in earnest. We are getting tired of this "monkeying" along with an improvement, as is always the case in Lawrence. But it is the custom of this seventeenth century town, and perhaps we will have to grin and bear it. Next we will hear that they have given up the water works, for fear it might eliminate some old cherished landmark, a slaughter house or hog pen, perhaps.
There is much excitement being stirred up in Lawrence about the location of the water works stand pipe. The citizens are very indignant, and justly, too, that it is to be located on Oread Avenue, and steps are being taken to prevent its being built thereon. They claim that as suitable location can be found west of the University, and if situated there it will not be the eye-sore, not only to the city of Lawrence, but to the University and the whole of Mount Oread, whihe it would be if placed on the Avenue. The contractors desire to place it on the Avenue, as they, believing that the ground belongs to the city, think that they will be allowed to do so without extra charge for the location. But at the city accepted this property from Gov. Robinson with the expressed agreement that it would only be used for a street, the council have no power to grant any portion of it to the water works company. Not only the faculty, but the students of the University should join in assisting the citizens to prevent the locating of the pipe at this point. It would be a lasting disgrace to the University should it be done.
The Evening Tribune, of this city, has been enlarged to seven columns. Ever since Morgan took the position of city editor the Tribune has steadily gained in popularity, both in Lawrence and among the students. Under its new form it is a much neater and better looking sheet, and no doubt will receive the increased patronage it deserves. The Tribune has always been, and is now, more of a University paper than any other in the city, and this, too, without neglecting the city of Lawrence in the least.
Any subscriber not receiving his paper regularly will oblige us by notifying us of the fact.
Bethany College, at Topeka, has so many rules this year that the directors of the institution are seriously contemplating the moving of the whole lot out on to the campus and erecting a new dormitory with them. It is thought that they would make a large, strong and serviceable building, not particularly handsome nor comfortable, yet a suitable place for the unfortunate young ladies to reside. The rules being iron clad, the edifice would be considered absolutely fire proof.
What a mass of unnecessary nonsense is collected when a crowd of old fogy "holier than thou" male professors and a bevy of disappointed old maid teachers get together to formulate what they call rules. It is simply astonishing how little moral worth a girl has among them; how little judgment she possesses in their estimation; how utterly wicked is the female sex according to their thinking. They seem to think that every young lady under their merciful (?) care, is continually plotting her own downfall and ruin; that a girl has no interest herself in keeping her name and reputation pure and unsullied; that she has neither honor nor chastity. They seem to regard every member of the male sex, outside of their institution, a demon to be feared and shunned.
What a dismal sort of a nunnery do they make of one of these strict colleges. How utterly homelike is it. How the pupils must dread to return to such a place.
It is the human nature of every one to fret and rebel against rules laid down for his or her guidance, and to resent any imposition. What wonder is it then, that pupils of this strict class of colleges are generally worse and more difficult to manage than those of the other and better class.
The University—as free a co-educational school as any in the world, without a single rule laid down for its students, either male or female—has not had the slightest taint of scandal attached to any of its students in the seventeen years of its existence. What college can say more?
If the rules which the ladies of Bethany College are compelled to keep are necessary, then the education of the female sex is a mistake; the money spent in their education is thrown away; they are not worth educating; and Bethany College had much better close up and put her buildings to a better use—for an insane or idiot asylum, or something of that sort.
Weather Report for September, 1886.
Prof. Snow, of the State University, reports the past month as being the warmest September on his nineteen year record. There was no frost during the month—not even the slightest hoar frost. The rainfall was only two-thirds of the September average, and this is the fourth successive month whose rainfall has been below the average. The wind velocity was normal, and the cloudiness was much below the September mean.
MEAN TEMPERATURE — 71:19 degrees, which is 4:83 above the September average. The highest temperature was 97 deg., on the 7th; the lowest was 45 deg., on the 29th, giving a range of 55 deg. The mercury reached 90 deg. nine times.
Mean temperature at 7 A.M., 63:75 deg.; at 2 P.M., 82:32 deg.; at 9 P.M., 69:35 deg.
RAINFALL—2.34 inches, which is 1.21 inches below the September average. Rain in measurable quantities fell on eight days. There were three thunder showers. The entire rainfall for the nine months of 1886 now completed has been 20.22 inches, which is 8.64 inches below the average for the same months in the preceding 18 years.
MEAN CLOUDINESS—32 per cent of the sky, the month being 8.61 per cent clearer than usual. Number of clear days (less than one-third cloudy) 19; half clear (from one to two-thirds cloudy) 6; cloudy (more than two-thirds) 5. There were four entirely clear days and none entirely cloudy. Mean cloudiness at 7 A.M., 38 per cent; at 2 P. M., 38 per cent; at 9 P. M., 20 per cent.
WIND—S. E. 30 times; S. 22 times;
N. W. 13 times; N. E. 10 times; S.
W. 7 times; N. 5 times; W. twice;
E. once. The total run of the wind
was 10,315 miles, which is 185 miles below the September average. This gives a mean daily velocity of 344 miles and a mean hourly velocity of 15.33 miles. The highest velocity was 40 miles an hour, from 3 to 4 p.m. on the 18th.
BAROMETER—Mean for the month,
29.000 inches; at 7 a.m., 29.113
inches; at 2 p.m., 29.064 inches; at
9 p.m., 29.091 inches; maximum,
29.337 inches on the 28th; minimum
28.731 inches on the 15th; monthly
range, 9.646 inch.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY—Mean for the month, 60.7; at 7 a.m., 73.7; at 2 p.m., 41.0; at 9 p.m., 67.5; greatest, 93 on the 18th; least, 18, on the 28th. There was no fog.
EXCHANGE.
Too much cannot be said in praise of the College Rambler. Its editorial department is much above the average. The locals and personals are very attractive, and it contains by far the most interesting Exchange columns we have seen in any of our exchanges.
The Vanderbilt Observer contains a few very interesting biographical sketches of a few of its faculty. Outside of this it contains no literary matter whatever. As it is, the Observer is a very good paper; but as the new editors grow a little older and more experienced, the Observer will doubtless improve so much that we will scarcely recognize it.
The Aurora would be much improved were the scientific (?) articles dropped from its columns and articles of more general interest substituted in their places.
The University Press is one of the largest college weeklies published. It is nicely printed and very ably edited. It will probably find a dangerous rival in the Alis.
The trustees have decided that Chicago University must be sold in order to satisfy a mortgage held by the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Maine, for $300,000. It may happen that it will be purchased by the Catholics, who offer to purchase it, and who will open it as a Roman Catholic school.
The cover of the Student Life gives
it a very attractive appearance. It is a very neat little paper, though it seems to be run by a set of very funny men, as there is a strange tendency to run everything into puns and jokes, which becomes very monotonous.
We would like to see the Hillsdale Herald brace up this year, and publish a better paper. At present it commands no respect, nor does it deserve any, from the college papers throughout the country. The editors should make it a better paper, as it is surely in their power to do so; if not, the paper ought to be discontinued.
In Egypt is a University which was over 900 years old when Oxford was founded, and which is now educating over 10,000 students in Moslem faith.
Daily papers are published in Yale Harvard, Cornell and Princeton.
Last June Mark Hopkins stated that he had been connected with Williams College fifty-six years, during which time it had graduated 1,726 students, he having given instruction to all but thirty-one of this number.
EDITOR COURRIER:—Did it ever occur to you that some men have the power of seeing things sooner than others, and of being able to tell all about things with which they have no acquaintance?
I got hold of an artistie in the El Dorado Republican of last week, which made me wonder how on earth such smart men as the writer manage to live in this city, and how they can condescend to come to the University.
"Herr Most," that is a non de plume, is certainly not green; he has too keen sense of perception to admit of such charge being brought against him. He is merely too smart. The gentleman has not a good opinion of Lawrence. He says: "I find it a very common sort of a town, with lots of trees, poor sidewalks and numerous repetitions of the legend 'For rent' on the houses." He also says that there are too many negroes and too much "cultyah." It's really too loud about the culture. I always had an idea that the superior advantages of Lawrence as an educational center were due to that very feature. Lawrence is a city of schools and churches. She does not claim to be a manufacturing city. And by the way, may be Mr. "Most" will tell me wherein ElDorado is so far ahead of Lawrence. He does say Lawrence newspapers are no good, but he also adds that he is ashamed to own that he ever was connected with a paper. Certainly, he ought to be if it was an ElDorado paper. It seems hard on Lawrence that this youth should be so very severe, but may be Lawrence will be able to pull through. The worst thing is the number of jokes(?) like this: "The University is the mainstay of the town. From the money left by the students the people get their pin money."
If "Most's" jokes didn't make other people laugh, they affected him at any rate, as he has had a grin like a hyena ever since he wrote the article. I see him every day, so I can watch the progress of the grin in its various stages.
"Herr Most!" gives a very fair estimate of the character of the students and of the fraternities. He

was right in giving the Phi Psi boys the honors and the Phi Gams the best girls; he did not make a mistake in what he said of the Sigma Nus; he showed more sense than I thought he had when he ignores the poor Betas, but he gives himself dead away when he comes to talk about Phi Delta Theta. He talks about their grades—that wont wash. They are good boys, and "Herr Most" does want to join them the worst kind, but it wont do to try and stuff us with the Phi grades.
Wh—, I mean "Most," tells about how all the frats rushed some one, and as he tells just how it feels, he leaves us to suppose that he was the victim. May be he was, but I don't see his pin yet.

"The University has the sons and daughters of most of the prominent families in the west in attendance, and among the latest arrivals are A. H. Plumb and Fred Funston. Young Plumb, unlike the sons of most great men, is studious, quiet and unassuming, and yet has a certain dignified affability which makes him respected and admired by all." Great Scott! and "where's Funston?" Don't he come under the same head, and ought he not to have some taffy?
The letter is not badly written, but most of the statements are very much overdrawn. The man who wrote it evidently has a favor to ask of—some one—I won't say who. He also proves that he is very "smart Alecky," and a few more letters like that will cause the students to "sit upon" Mr. "Most."
Yours,
S. O. PHOMORE.
REMINISCENCES.
[For the Courier.]
TOPERA, KAN., Sept. 27, 1886.
FRIEND SMITH:—I see by the last Courier you have commenced a series of "Reminiscences." While I know you will make it an interesting column, I am sorry to see you commence this undertaking. In the first place, it will hurt the University; for touching as it must, mostly upon the social and hilarious side of student life, it will give outsiders an impression that little solid work is done in the institution. Again, as you will have necessarily to prick many foibles and illustrate some unpleasant incidents in the career of the boys, you may be sure that the more sensitive of these fellows will get on their ear. "Reminiscences" must be personal; and personalities, except their subjects be dead and gone, should be avoided.
Truly your friend,
一. 一.
I have in my time received many queer and very funny letters, but this one beats the lot. Any idiot who would imagine the University a good-for-nothing institution simply because its college papers were devoted to college sports and society, would by the same token think the whole world eternally in war and blood-shed because histories treat principally of that sort of thing; and that the present generation was devoted to every kind of vice and villainy, because the daily papers publish sensations of this nature. As to "personalities," after writing for the Courier five years, and making every line as pointedly
personal as my brain could conceive it, I don't think I shall be badly scared at this late day. If by "pricking" any "foibles" or revealing any "unpleasant incidents in the career of the boys" I shall make an interesting paragraph, my pen shall not tarry or quiver in getting it off. The fellow of good sense who has outgrown his follies, will laugh at the thought of them. The tender striplings who can't stand the telling of a joke on themselves, are those whose favor I don't court or care a picayune for, anyway. The sooner they "get on their ear," the better it will suit me. These "Reminiscences" are simply a record of the impression left by college events and college people. They are served up in a conglomerous fashion, without any reference to logical, chronological or any other ological succession. They don't pretend to be a market value of any body or anything. I claim for them but one virtue—they are personal!
"D—n it, no! The Oreads and Orophilians have nothing to do with it! It's the Betas and the Phi Psis!" and away he went.
*
That was my first introduction to the fraternity question, and I knew just about as much about it as before Pliny Soper had so forcibly relieved himself. He was rushing excitedly down Quincy street, and stopped long enough to tell me that a Review election was raging "between the two societies." The only societies of whose existence I was aware, were the Oread and Orophilian. It was in answer to my question as to what the two literary societies were doing in a Review election, that Soper made the reply quoted. As it was my first acquaintance with fraternities, so also was it my first experience in a college fight. I learned a little wee bit about both subjects in the next four years.
At the time referred to, secret societies were much more mysterious affairs than at the present day. The times and places of their meetings were not known to outsiders. There were then three Greek societies in the University. The University had not yet reached the spawning season of fraternities. The Betas and the Phi Psis—and I can say it without the least reflection on later generations—were then made up of the strongest men they have ever known. The I. C.'s were composed of a remarkably bright and intelligent body of girls, though older in years and much lacking the comilless that distinguished succeeding accessions. Outside of the Sorosis there was a select body of very pretty girls that banded together in a social way. These were the components of the future Kappa Alpha Thetas. A number of the original circle were dropped out in the congealing, and Dame Rumor told some pretty bad stories as to how the freezing out process was carried on.
The morning of the K. A. T. debat was a somewhat sensational one. The girls marched into chapel in a body, filed up to a row of seats and located themselves so as to receive most advantageously the admiring gazes of their gentlemen friends. They wore a deep gold laced collar, giving them the appearance of a female military company. That they considered the brass collar arrangement a too flashy badge of their society, is evident from the fact that they soon abandoned it.
It's a mean dog that kills sheep at home; and it's an awful mean student that will play pranks on his own room-mate.
The coming of the K. A. T.'s was a boon to the I. C.'s, for it spurred them out of their lethargy and led them to take in a younger, prettier and more social class of members, without deteriorating in their standard of scholarship. Of the succeeding multitudes of fraternities, there is no occasion for me to speak. Suffice to say, they came thick and fast, and grew in strength until each is now the leading order in the University, as can be easily proven by consulting the various fraternity journals.

During the winter of 1880 two students rented a room at a dwelling near Dr. Marvin's present residence. The only other occupants of the house were a widow, the owner of the building, and her pretty daughter. One of the boys was a studious, energetic, big-hearted fellow, whose good nature made him the victim of many jokes at the hands of his chum. His roommate was rather given to devilment, and to say the best, never amounted to a shuck in any direction. How such an intelligent youth should have mated with so worthless a cuss, is one of the mysteries. The name of the good natured fellow—but no! I will give his name; far be it from me to cause a ripple in the bliss of a newly married life. For the purpose of my story, I will call him McLaren. Mac kept everything in apple pie order, and was punctual in his duties as a pendulum in its ticks. His hour for bath was Sunday night from 10:20 till 10.45. The apparatus used in this weekly ablation was primitive and simple—a wash tub. One Sunday night—his room-mate having sought his innocent, virtuous couch in the meantime—Mac betook himself to his regular Sabbath bath. The night being pitch black, and every one having retired, Mac stepped out doors in his chaste Adamic costume to empty the tub. During this temporary absence, by some mischance, Mac's room-mate arose, pulled the door to and turned the key. Mac, returning, found himself locked out, and commenced calling his room-mate, first in whispered tones, but his tones growing more frantic at every moment. Alarmed at the noise, the widow and daughter arose, and with lighted lamp, came into the hall, cutting off Mac's only avenue of escape. O, agony! O, ye furies! In all the history of art we have no instance of the human figure clad in a wash tub. Widow and daughter took in the situation at a glance, and beat a hasty retreat. By this time Mac's room-mate has been awakened by the calls and opened the door. Mac was mad, wild, furious. He vowed some terrible vows against his chum, accusing him of the willful, premeditated, malicious doing of the deed. If the charge was true, and I shrewdly suspect it was, then a more depraved piece of villainy was never perpetrated. Torture would be the only fitting penalty. If I remember aright, and my memory on this point is singularly retentive, the name of Mac's despicable room-mate was

The Phi Gams and Phi Psis have been busy all week practicing for the great game that came off yesterday.
The water works are under contract to be completed by January, 1887. Who expects them to be so?
The Senior pharmacists and Senior laws are thinking of following the example of the collegiate Seniors, and don plugs, also.
Nearly all of the Senior plugs have arrived, and those who have enough class spirit and pride in the University will soon be wearing them.
Prof. McDonald has a musical bulletin board just outside of his study door, on the second floor, where the latest musical news is posted.
Our rival (?) came out this week, saying that it had "the kindiest feeling for our esteemed little cotemporary, the Courier," We are glad of it; thanks.
The Phi Gams had as a Mascotte yesterday a boy who was born without teeth. He was adorned with a Phi Gam pin of about a half a foot in length.
Mr. James Mears is laying out flower beds along the walk that runs east from the University building. This will be a great improvement to the campus.
The latest word which must be used to express any pleasant or enjoyable time, or to describe anything favorably, is the word "cute." Students must remember this.
A party of about six from the University and Lawrence leave for Baldwin this afternoon to establish a Y. M. C. A. in the Baker University and the town of Baldwin.
The instructor in natural history ought to be taken down a peg or two. He has too high an opinion of himself, his powers and his knowledge. He makes his classes very disagreeable by his conceit.
A certain person came into Prof. Carruth's room to see the new statuary, and pointing to the calm, peaceful face of Martin Luther, says: "That is Voltaire, is it not?" The Prof. nodded in the affirmative, and the person immediately remarked: "What a villainous countenance he has.
The Oratorical Association held a meeting to elect officers for the year. S. T. Gilmore was in the chair as acting president. The officers elected are as follows: E. G. Blair, presiden; C. B. Highbargin, vice president; A. L. Wilmoth, secretary; C. E. Street, treasurer; F. G. Crowell, V. L. Kellogg and Denton Dunn, executive committee. The local contest will probably be held in December this year.
Some professors, in fact the most of them, are getting very careless about dismissing their classes at the tap of the second bell. Students are expected to be in a class within five minutes after the second bell, and when a professor keeps them in until after that time, of course it is impossible to make the succeeding class. Then the teacher of that class "kicks."
The Phi Gamma Deltas opened their part of the social season by an informal hop at their hall last Friday evening. A pleasant evening was spent in dancing, conversation, etc.
The Phi Gams showed that they had lost none of their power of entertaining guests, and upheld their reputation as one of the most pleasant fraternities in the University.
The Handel-Haydn choral society began their weekly rehearsals last Monday night, at their hall, on southwest corner of Vermont and Henry streets. Those who have fair voices and moderate reading ability are eligible to membership. All students who can spare the time ought to join. There is no more pleasant or profitable way of spending one evening a week.

STUDENTS, go to J. M. Wood & Co.'s for groceries for your boarding clubs. Mr. Wood has one of the oldest grocery establishments in Lawrence, and his store has always been famous for its fine stock and low prices. Mr. Wood's rates to clubs can not be undersold by any grocer in the city, and considering the fine goods he carries, this makes him the most desirable man to deal with that can be found.
For the nobbiest styles and best fitting young men's suits, see those new ones at Urbansky's.
The miners of Osage City, Burlingame and Scranton, are out on a strike, and are likely to continue so for some time, and these kinds of coal are getting very scarce. However, A. J. Griffin has plenty of the following kinds at low figures: Canon City, Illinois, Weir City, Leavenworth lump, Leavenworth nut, Cherokee nut, and Cherokeeoke coke.
Business Booming.
The Courier man dropped in to see Messrs. Field & Hargis, and found them doing a rushing business. Mr. Field said to the reporter that he was too busy to write an advertisement, but he might give him a few pointers. He said that their business was never better, and their University trade surpassed by far anything they had done in former years. The Courier man glanced around the store and soon observed the reason for this. We never saw a finer stock of books in the city. Desirable books of all kinds, from those in pamphlet form to elegant large volumes bound in sheep, were to be seen, and marked way down in price. Mr. Field told the reporter that they supplied everything in the artist and drawing department at the University at Chicago prices. Mr. Field was then called away to wait on a customer, and left us with the parting injunction, "I haven't time to tell you half the things I might, but just tell the students and others to come and see for themselves."
Lawrence people are to be favored with a rare treat to-morrow night at Bowersock's opera house, when Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Florence will present "The Mighty Dollar." Mr. Florence is in the foremost ranks of the comedians of the day, and it is not often that a place the size of Lawrence can secure him, so our people should turn out en masse to greet him.
The finest and nobbiest young men's suits in town, cut in the latest style, and the lowest prices at Urbansky's.
Attention, young men of Lawrence! Ask to see those nobby suits at Urbansky's.

There was much interest taken by the students in the series of games played between Emporia and Lawrence.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCT.15, 1886.
The German dictionary in the library is entirely worn out, and the German students are in need of a new one.
The first meeting of the moot court was held Wednesday evening at the court house. Prof. Greene presided as judge.
The Salvation Army still hold meetings in the G. A. R. hall They have made seven converts since being in Lawrence.
The old windmill that stands off to the northwest of the University has been repaired, and now swings its ponderous arms as of yore.
Geo. B. Wendling and Gen. Lew Wallace will lecture at Baker University sometime during the winter. Can't we obtain their services, also?
The Seniors held their annual class meeting last Friday, and elected the officers for the ensuing year. The following is the list: Miss Thompson, president; W. T. Reed, vice president; Miss Wright, secretary; W. S. Jenks, poet; S. W. Shattuck, prophet; Denton Dunn, historian.
Prof. Canfield's study is the storehouse for Senior's plug hats. They are afraid to leave them on the hooks for fear some Freshmen might wear them.
The Phi Gams and Phi Psis will play their long expected game Saturday afternoon at athletic park. Admission fee is only ten cents, and ladies are free.
Why does not the city fill up the ditches and gulches of Adams street, and build a sidewalk thereon? The street is much used by the students, and if in proper shape would be one of the most convenient streets of the city.
The Science Club renders the following program to-day: Notes on the Humming Bird, L. L. Dyche; Quality of Various Teas, Carl Wyler; Improvement in Ordnance, E. A. Wheeler; Scientific Review, A. H. Plumb.

Cunkle, treasurer; F. C. Keys, prophet; W. E. Higgins, master of athletics.
There has been several donations to the University library last week. The following is a list: Six volumes of German Literature, by Prof. Carruth; twenty-four volumes of "Harper's Weekly," including the war period; three volumes "Every Saturday;" seventeen volumes miscellaneous, by Dr. L. Chase, of Irving, Kas.
The Review speaks of the Courier as their "esteemed little cotemporary." Well, that's gall. All the editorials in the last number of the Review will not amount to but $2\frac{3}{4}$ columns of the Courier, by actual measurement. Their locals amount to $1\frac{1}{4}$ columns of the Courier, and their personalts to 2 columns. All the matter in one issue of the monthly Review will no more than fill one issue of the weekly Courier, and yet we are "little."
"The California Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Psi are making arrangements to erect a chapter house on their lot, south of the campus, in the near future. The building will be two stories in height; the first floor will contain a reception room, hall and other rooms. The style and plans for the building have not yet been decided upon, but $3,000 will be expended. This speaks well for U. P. enterprise."—Pacific Pharos. This will be the first chapter house west of the Mississippi.
The article in last week's Courier in reference to the lecture course was wrong throughout. Deeming our information reliable, and not taking into consideration that the informant might be mistaken, we committed the fault yourself, of not consulting those who would know positively in regard to the lectures for the coming year. We are glad to rectify our mistake. The lecture course will continue the coming year, and will in all probability be better than ever before. Already the chairman of the committee is in correspondence with well known lecturers in regard to appearance at the University. The plan of establishing the lecture course as a regular department of the University is being considered. Arrangements are being made with the faculties of other institutions in regard to an exchange of courtesies in lectures, etc. Prof. Carruth is still a member of the lecture committee of the faculty, but is no longer chairman, as heretofore.
Prof. Canfield has a new and entirely original plan in regard to the recitations of his higher classes. He has placed long tables in his lecture room, and will gather his classes around it with their reference books, maps, papers, note books, etc., before them on the table. The recitations will be carried on in a strictly conversational manner. Questions will be asked and answers given, topics taken up and discussed, and everything connected with the lesson will be considered, not as has been done heretofore in the recitation room, but in a perfectly free and informal way. The examinations will be conducted in the same manner, three or four days being consumed in the examination of the class. This is a new idea, and one which is quite a breaking away from the old time formal recitations. We hope it will succeed; we know it will succeed under Prof. Canfield if it will under any prof.
A number of the fairest of K. A. T. ladies favored their gentlemen friends withjan excellent treat last Friday evening, by organizing a party to attend a dance in the country, at the famous Cox farm, near Tonganoxie. All went out in the greatest of style, and prepared to have a jolly time, the ladies not neglecting to take something with them to eat, which, added to the spoils of a raid on the pantry, made an excellent supper, after which the boys "hustled" up the musicians, and proceeded to inaugurate a large new store house with a genuine "hoe-hown." Returning the party enjoyed an early morning ride by moonlight, with loud declarations of a good time. Those in the party were: Misses Jean Anderson, May Webster, Mamie Tisdale, Julia Benedict, Ella Ropes, Emma Bartell, Ella Bartell, Sydney Dailey, Mildred Pikard; and Messrs. Jack Schall, Harry Valentine, Ed Blair, Jep Davis, John Higinbotham, Lawson Gilbert, Nate McCague, Rob Rankin.

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.
As is generally known among the students, the editor-in-chief of the Courier has been enjoying a vacation the past week, by invitation of the chancellor. Most of the students know that the main cause of such action of the chancellor was an article in the last issue of the Courier, which mildly censured one of the professors of the University. The writer of said article had no personal feeling in the matter at all, and had no intention of harming the said professor. Whether the article was needed or not, we will leave entirely to our readers. The trouble which has been stirred up about the matter has made the article much more noticeable and much stronger than the writer intended it to be. Had the writer understood at the time he wrote such article, how sharp and cutting it was, and how unjustly he was acting—giving but one side of a two sided question—he would not have allowed the said article to have gone into the Courier.
This apology, if such it can be called, is entirely voluntary. It is not forced; it is not even asked for, but the writer is not ashamed, nor does he consider it unmanly, to own up to a wrong when he is conscious of being wrong.
There were seven different articles in the Courier of last week of which complaints were made by the chancellor. We will not designate them, as they are generally known.
The difficulty between the editor-in chief of the COURIER and the chancellor has been settled, as we think satisfactorily to all concerned. On what terms such settlement was made, concerns no one excepting those two, but we can say that we think it was settled with good feeling on both sides; we know it was on one side; each conceded something to the other.
There has been much unnecessary
agitation of this question, and much harm done, and the settlement of this question much retarded by those who have no interest in the dispute at all, and who have had no business in meddling with matters which only concern the chancellor and ourselves. If the editor-in-chief would have followed one half the advice of his apparently would-be advisors, he would have gone home before this to remain.
Much of the following, taken from the Pennsylvaniaian, of the University of Pennsylvania, will apply very well to the Courier and its readers. Part of it does not apply, but not wishing to cut such a good article, we copy the whole, and let the students judge which part they should consider. They know well enough. The only fault we have with the clipping is that it does not speak of the chronic kicker—the one who kicks simply for the sake of kicking, and not either to help the editors or the paper:
The editors of the Pennsylvania wish to call the attention of the students of the University to a few facts in connection with the paper. We feel that we have not been fairly treated by the men for whom we are working so hard. We have heard in various quarters complaints that the paper is not what it ought to be—that it does not represent the whole body of students. One man complains that there is too much space devoted to athletics; another protests against the crowding out of the latest sporting news in order to make room for some important college announcement, or the like. Some alumnus writes to us and urges us to give more space to the discussion of educational topics, and to obtain articles of real literary merit from the University professors. Greeted with grumbling and discontent on all sides, your editorial board has, nevertheless, conscientiously striven to produce a paper that would combine athletics and "solid" articles, college news and items of more general interest. But our success has been of a very doubtful nature, if that can be called a success which is nothing more than a bare escape from failure. Athletes, do you not understand that the whole paper cannot be devoted to your interests? As it is, you have more than your share of space. Hard students, will your logic and philosophy not make clear to you the necessity that impels us to cater to the tastes of all sorts and conditions of men? Students of the University, will you not take into consideration the hard road we have to travel, and subscribe to the Pennsylvania, in token that you sympathize with our efforts?
But we are not through with our complaints. We wish to speak of another way in which we are left without support. The students never contribute, either articles or news, and with the exception of an occasional article from a professor, the columns are entirely filled by the work of the editorial board. Is it to be wondered at that the paper is not what it ought to be, when such a state of things exists? The students, instead of writing a straightforward communication to us, or contributing articles of what seems to them to be a suitable nature, vent their discontent in ill-concealed ridicule or anger, and so help to make our subscription list smaller
even than it is. Remember that we ask help from all. We want every one to constitute himself a committee to collect news and subscriptions for us. If a reader is dissatisfied, let him write a letter to us, with criticisms and suggestions, and we will always find room for it in our columns. If he is not willing to take such slight trouble, let him be man enough to keep quiet, and avoid prejudicing his fellow students because he is too lazy to remove the cause of his dissatisfaction. It is not much that we ask—merely fair play; we think that we have a right to that. We ask you to remember that if the paper seems dull and uninteresting, the few men on whom the whole weight of contributing fall, get "written out," and have no place in which to find relief. The remedy is in your power—contribute yourself."
Co-education and social gaiety are not supposed to be synonomous terms. That there is an opportunity for social enjoyment in the University, is certainly nothing against it. But that this is not the object in admitting both sexes to equal privileges, should not be forgotten. At times, and especially at the beginning of the college year, it almost seems to be. Society affords a far better relaxation from work than the means employed in some institutions, but too much relaxation is not beneficial.
---
We once heard it said that in time we would find the fraternities usurping the place in the hearts of our students of our literary societies. The speaker was a fraternity man of another and an older institution. At the time we were loth to believe him, but subsequent events have proved that he spoke wiser than we knew. How few fraternity men are good members of the literary societies. And those who are are generally ambitious for some honor within the gift of the society, and this gained, he too goes on the retired list. We believe in the fraternities, but we believe also in the literary societies, and hold it the duty of the members of the former to see that they do not neglect their work in the latter. In Orophilian the honors were made competitive, and now we see the fraternity men attempting to reinstate the old way. They can carry elections some way if they cannot win honors. So the fraternity strikes another blow at the societies. Is this to be a question of survival of the fittest, or in other words, the strongest, or are the two as we believe—occupants of entirely different fields, with separate work and distinct functions, both able to be supported by the same individuals, and both of great good when properly maintained.
A Week at Wooster.
Wooster, Ohio, is a very pretty little town of 8,000 inhabitants, about seventy-five miles from Cleveland. There are excellent business and public buildings, beautiful homes, broad, shady streets lighted by electricity, waterworks and other improvements, and on a hill to the north (I think) of town stands the University of Wooster.
The University building is not very handsome architecturally. It is built of brick, very plain, and goes up into the air to a very appalling and disagreeable distance. I do not remember the exact number of stories, but I do remember that when I reached the topmost recitation rooms I had no desire to go further. The recitation rooms are of very good size, very pleasant and convenient. As far as building, recitation rooms, library and collections go, the U. of K. is far, very far ahead of the U. of W. They beat us on campus, gymnasium and military department.
The U. of W. is situated on a hill, it is true, but not a hill as Oread is a hill. The slope is gentle, and the campus is a grassy lawn covered with large trees. It does not equal that of Ohio State University, Hanover College or Wisconsin University, as those colleges have the finest natural locations, still it made me envious. Oh, would that K.S.U. could change some of her rocks for some trees and grass!
The gymnasium is a large, low building, situated to one side of the college building. It is used as a sort of theater and hall as well as a gymnasium. It is built to stay, and is an ornament to the grounds. If some of our faculty could see it, it might do them good. A gymnasium and a military department are badly needed here. We could get an officer detailed here, and we ought to have him. Drill need not interfere with class room work. It should be made compulsory. Make some of these old bookworms get out and loosen their joints and cultivate their muscles; broaden the backs and strengthen the lungs of some of these boys of ours. At Wooster and at Columbus I saw no large proportion of round shouldered, hollow chested fellows such as we have here. But I did not start out to write an editorial in favor of a "gym" or a military department. Those will come when the faculty gets ready—no sooner—and editorials on the question are useless.
College life in Wooster is just what it is in any other good sized college. Some of our pet schemes, such as the "club," are in successful operation there. I found a good sized boarding club, run just as ours are, largely filled up with members of one fraternity. The similarity was so great that had it not been for strange faces, I could have imagined myself at the old "Grab-and-chaw" club on Kentucky street.
The boys are pretty much the same kind of fellows as here in the classic "Athens of Kansas." "Phi Psi," "Sig," "Phi Delt," "Phi Gam" were familiar terms.
The Sigs are the big social,
"ladies men" frat. The Phi Gams and Phi Psis stand about as they do here.
Delta Tau Delta runs to seedy orators. I saw one—its name was S. It represented Wooster on the last state contest, and it made two of the worst flunks I ever saw, during commencement week. Yet it tried to pass off as an orator.
Oh, yes—the girls are there. Kappa Alpha Theta has a strong chapter. I was told by members of several frats that the one qualification for Thetahood was being a strong Sig girl, but as one of my brethren would probably dispute that, I will merely say that the girls are good looking, smart and seem to be worthy sisters. The Kappas are if anything, better looking, smarter, and to boot, they are our girls; as fine a set of girls as one
could find in a years travel, unless possibly I make exception of the chapter of the same frat at the U. of Minnesota. If the I. C. had a chapter there as much better than their Lawrence chapters as the other girl's frats are, I would like to visit there again, and see how angels looked with wings.
Wooster has some words of her own. Mossy, Mossback and a number of others are used by everyone. It seems strange to hear some pretty girl who ordinarily uses no slang, ripple out some slang phrase and think no more of it than she would of speaking her own name. Yet Wooster slang was pretty well applied generally, and it is probably more expressive than other language. Slang is often very expressive.
I spent five very pleasant days at Wooster. I attended contests, sermons and other exercises of commencement week, went to the alumni banquet and "reuned" with the class of '83 of U. of W, called on some of the girls, spent several noisy but pleasant evenings with the "boys," and finally packed my grip and went north. I do not know when five days have gone more rapidly and pleasantly than did those. I was amid strangers, yet with friends, brothers; grand good fellows, every one, fellows that I hope to meet again, and whom I hope to see out west sometime, for out of such honorable, manly men is the west being built up into a mighty empire.

EDITOR COURIER:—In an editorial in the Courier some weeks ago, some timely remarks were made upon the noticeable lack of good conversationists in our University.
The idea which the writer wished to emphasize was that of class recitations. "Students have become so careless in expressing themselves in class-room that the advantage they might derive from using good language is entirely lost."
With all due respect for the writer's opinion, it is nevertheless impossible for a scholar to choose his words without first acquiring a vocabulary from which to draw, and this vocabulary can never be gained by conversation in class-room.
To be a polished and fluent talker, one must have made the acquaintance of best writers on art, philosophy and history, an acquaintance which will never leave him at a loss for a topic for conversation, no matter in what company he may be thrown.
As a natural consequence of this general reading, the student, in addition to the refinement and cultivation which he derives therefrom, receives also a fund of words which enables him at all times and in all places to express himself in graceful and well chosen sentences.
It is by reading, and only by reading, that one may acquire the necessary vocabulary. After this obstacle is surmounted, and only then, the repose of manner and presence of mind, necessary adjuncts, a good conversationalist may be cultivated. In the acquirement of these qualities, the class-room may be used to the best advantage in overcoming the nervousness natural to the first attempts at social intercourse.

AN.
Jhy.
One of the queer anomalies on this mundane potato hill of ours (and I claim no whit of originality), is that the bug which has gained the summit after the hardest tumbles, shows the least sympathy or charity for others crawling up under like difficulties. The religious sect, freed from persecution, becomes the worst persecutor. The man who served the toughest apprenticeship is the sternest master. The school director who in earlier days taught school at starvation wages, is invariably the one member of the board who believes in grinding down salaries. The damsel who by some caprice of fortune is suddenly elevated from scanty calico to sumptuous silks, takes delight in trampling on her old associates in poverty.
So it goes. The exceptions to the rule are rare. I am reminded of an exception by reading in a late Corrier that Prof. Carruth will procure household situations for such young ladies as may wish to earn their way while attending the University. No one has done as much for the poor student as Prof. Carruth. According to rule, he should have done the least. I would expose myself to rebuke for impertinence should I venture on the hardships that have marked his career. Suffice to say, no boy ever has or ever will earn his education midst more bitter circumstances than did he.
My acquaintance with Prof. Carruth began while he was a tutor in the University. The older boys called him "Will" and "Carruth," under the privileged right of every fellow to call his old classmates by their plain, straight names. He was from the Canfield mould, along with the Gleed boys. Some boys are the product of the whole University. Others are patterned and run out in a single class-room. Prof. Miller has turned out his Riffles and his Templin; Prof. Robinson has his Sterling; Prof. Stevens tutelage developed Brewster and Seaton and Linley; Prof. Williams points with pride to Clarke and McLaren; Prof. Snow is seen in Gaumer and Dyche and Brown. But to return to my topic: Prof. Carruth, as I said, was moulded in the class-room of Prof. Carfield—independent in political action, free trade, of socialistic tendencies, fond of history and given to original research; besides having that terrific energy and aptitude for the toughest kind of work which distinguished his preceptor. Outside the department of political economy, history and English literature (for in those days Prof. Canfield's jurisdiction was broad and penetrating as his jokes). Prof. Carruth was not a little influenced in his scholarly as well as sentimental pursuits, by the professor of German, Miss Frances Schlegel. If any one of the new workers in Oread's grainary has any curiosity on the subject, he might stop in and ask Mrs. Carruth about it. At any rate, Prof. Carruth's devotion to the German language, literature, history and art, have made him as much a German as "Deutscher geboren."
Prof. Carruth has come into closer contact with the students than any other member of the faculty. He has mingled with them in the literary society, joined them in their sports,
Taking the ordinary view of affairs, Prof. Carruth has made a great mistake in choosing his profession; for opportunities have been offered him in other vocations, with better salary and higher position. He is one of the few mortals who believes that life was made for living, and not for money making.
The new student has enough to suffer for his verdancy, gracious nows! But for his verdancy, gracious nows! But this inquisson to which he was formerly subjected—"the faculty reception—" was too severe a penalty. It has passed, thank heaven! Mayhap my old friends will not thank me for calling up such bitter memories. Nevertheless, I think it is inclement to the present generation to have them appreciate the immaturities they enjoy. The "faculty reception," as the trap was called, was ostensibly for the purpose of getting old and new students acquainted. On this occasion, every door in the University was thrown wide open and every gas jet set flaring. The faculty would back up and range themselves against the chapel rostrum, whither the latest swarm of students, mainly Preps., would come to be presented and pump hands with the literary sachems. The professors wished their new acquaintances in Hades, and this genial feeling was heartily reciprocated. Even at a mineral something occasionally happens to divert us from our sorrow. Whatever might have added a gleam of merriment to the doleful faculty reception, was blasted by the infuriting din of fiddlers and tooters on the rostrum, who sawed their screeching strings and frightened the walls under the fiction that they were making music. And the promenade! Oh, natted memory! The promenade consisted in elbowing one's way through the jammed corridors to one end of the building, and then twisting around and back through the chapel to the other end. Nothing could possibly be more conducive to mirth than drudging through Prof. Snow's dissecting room between walls of piecled vermin, the skeleton beering down on you from the corner, and the managing shark ready for a dive. A fellow who could talk sentiment or make love in such surroundings, would take a girl to a graveyard to propose. However dampening may have been the sickening smell and ghastly sights of the natural history laboratories on youthful spirits, they were grand incentives to sprightly conversation in comparison with the naked subjects of the Greek and Latin rooms at the other end of the march. The fellow who with fair lady on arm has once strolled through the flying "Mercuries" and indiscreet "Quoil Throwers" and decollette "Payche," appreciates what a perilous business it is.
The first faculty reception I attended is vividly remembered. It was there I was introduced to several
hundred of Jayhawker collegians, not a dozen of whom I could recall in face or name next morning. Miss McGee, now Mrs. Geo, Gaumer, was there, and noted from the others by her rich and elegant party attire, the train with its laced edges extending several meters to the rear. Alas, for human vanity! The fashionable train was never built for faculty receptions, where awkward Preps shamble and josile and stumble. Before the evening had half disappeared the silken train bore a pleasing resemblance to the flags which are brought out on Decoration day riddled and stained by four years duty midst whistling rifle balls and cannon shot.
Yet the one of all to whom the faculty reception must bring saddest thoughts, is Fred Stocks, I trow. Poor Fred! I trust the Courier managers will not send him a copy of his number, for I would not harrow its mind by the painful memories of hat direful eve. Fred was one of he University's truest gentlemen; a scholar of refined tastes and politest deportment. It was the custom in his faculty reception to swap partners—beg pardon! I mean exchange adies—whenever receiving an introduction. By some mischance, Fred early got on his arm a specimen of rural maidenhood fresh from the pastoral regions of Sedan (Kansas). The brilliant hue of her checks was variegated by numerous freckles of palpable dimensions, bespeaking the salurious climate of Chataquua county. The drapery, late from the cahcooms of Lowell, fell about her in the same graceful folds that it would about a bean pole. Her carriage was in pleasing harmony with that of the ovine creation, and she clung to Fred's arm and shoulder blade with a sort of "till death us do part" grip. Fred introduced her to this one and that one of his stylish friends, but far from relieving him of his charge, they hastily bowed and skipped away. Sinbad of old had to carry the "Old Man of the Sea" constantly on his back; but he never endured the worse fate of a blooming Chataquua county maid fastened on his arm. Fred was ready to drop, when he spied his room-mate, Spangler, with a pretty damsel in a snug corner. Here was his chance! Spangler saw him coming, but it was too late to escape. Stocks had him cornered. "Miss ___, my friend Mr. Spangler. I believe according to the code of the evening, it will be proper for us to exchange," said Fred, beamingly. "Not much'ce this time!" exclaimed Spangler with a broad grin, diving off to the side with his handsome partner, Stocks' last straw had floated by. He might have taken Sinbad's plan, and made her drunk, but unluckily Fred didn't carry ardent spirits. So he had her grappled to his coat sleeve the whole blessed evening. When the reception broke up, and Fred got home, he took down the favorite Webster and swore him a mighty oath that he would never attend another faculty reception so long as he lived —no, never!

EXCHANGE.
Readers of The Library Magazine are given a surprise, in the October issue, by the publisher's announcement of a reduction in price to $1.00 a year, and this without reduction of quantity or quality of literary matter given. Considering the fact that it gives more good "solid" reading than either of the great $4.00 magazine, its price seems already low enough—the only explanation is that "Alden" is the publisher. The October Part contains seventeen leading articles in the department of "Current Thought." Froude, the historian' twrites of "The Knights Templar;" Geo. S. Coe, the great banker, of "Banks and Commerce;" the first Governor of Texas is sketched in a readable paper; the Marquis of Lorne writes of "Transatlantic Home Rule;" Oliver Wendell Holmes has attention in a strong paper which is not all flattery; besides which are papers on "New Eyes for Science," "The Diamond Mines of South Africa." Etc. A specimen copy of the Magazine is sent free to any applicant by the publisher John B. Alden, New York.
The Burr is one of the best exchanges which finds its way to our table. Its editorials are all of a local subject, but quite interesting. It is very neatly printed, and its covers give it a very attractive appearance. We learn from its columns that Lehigh has a new physical laboratory, thoroughly equipped with new apparatus. We also notice that Phi Beta Kappa has just entered Lehigh, Dickinson and Rochester.
The University of the city of New York has given birth to a neat and attractive paper—the University, of which the first number has been received. On the first page is its modest little announcement stating that it is its aim to give clear, bright, fresh college news, breezy literature, accurate and comprehensible "Reviews" and "Personals." We wish that a larger per cent of our exchanges would strive to do this, and they might be as readable as the University.
The Pennsylvanian seems to be run by the base and foot ball class of the University of Pennsylvania, as it contains no reading matter to speak of except college sporting news. Judging from its columns, the Pennsylvanians must pay a great deal of attention to athletic sports.
The Press contains a short but well written article on Francis Bacon. The Personal and Local departments need bracing up.
At the Illinois state oratorical contest at Monmouth, last week, Mr. J, H. Finley, of Knox, was awarded first place; Mr. H, M. Wilson, Jacksonville, second; Mr. R. W. McGranahan, Monmouth, third; and Miss Rachel Bauman, Bloomington, fourth. Seven colleges were represented. The contest will be held at Jacksonville next year.
The University of Pennsylvania conferred the degree of Master of Arts upon Thomas Paine, in appreciation of his great political services. It also conferred the degree of L. L. D. upon George Washington, in 1783, and a like honor to Marie Jean Paul Roch Gilbert Motier Marquis de Lafayette, in 1784.

Our Relations to the University.
The following, concerning the relations which the University papers bear to the University, was handed to us by a friend of the University. It is a clear and concise statement, and can be fully relied upon, coming as it does from a man known to all the state as a most competent lawyer:
1. A State University is a public institution belonging to the state; and all residents of the state, of proper age and educational acquirements, have a right to attend it as students; and this right cannot be forfeited or destroyed except for the strongest reasons and in the most extreme cases.
2. A paper edited and published by the students of such an institution is private property, and as such, is not under the control or censorship of the faculty or even of the board of regents.
3. The faculty, however, under the regents, have to some extent, the right to control the conduct of the students; and in exercising this right, may indirectly and to a limited extent, have control over the paper.
4. They have no right, however, under any circumstances, to say that any particlar thing shall go into the paper, for the paper does not belong to them, and is no part of the school,
5. Neither have they any right to prohibit anything from going into the paper, except as they have a right to control the conduct of the students who edit and publish it.
6. And they have no right to control the conduct of the students except where such conduct has a relation to the school as a school.
7. They may prohibit the students from doing anything that will naturally tend to demoralize the school, or to bring it or its teachers into disrespect, ridicule or contempt, except that students may generally tell in papers or elsewhere, facts which have actually come under their own observation; that is, facts as contradistinguished from opinions, inferences, conclusions or comments, and such facts as are cognizable by the senses.
8. They have no right, however, by virtue of this power over the conduct of students, or otherwise, to prohibit anything from being published, unless its natural tendency is to affect the school as such or its teachers as such, injuriously.
9. The people of the state are the real founders and proprietors of the State University, their object being to educate all the youth of the state who can avail themselves of its benefits; and the people in accomplishing this object, act through various instrumentalities—the legislature, the governor, the board of regents, the teachers and the courts—and they will not allow their school to be injured or their designs to be frustrated, if through the foregoing instrumentalities they can prevent it.

In answer to the attack made on the COURIER by one of the city papers in which the COURIER is spoken of as a burden to the merchants of Lawrence, we will say that the COURIER represents the students of the University who annually bring $200,000 into the city of Lawrence. This is why we demand recognition by the merchants of this city.
--the Kansas City Journal of Sunday:
Members of the Science Club and other students of the University, and residents of this city (Kansas City), visited the mound region of Clay county to open one or more of the vaults or cairns which contain the remains of an extinct race. The section to be explored was adjacent to the groups opened under the direction of Judge E. P. West, formerly of Kansas City, and Professor F. H. Snow, about two years ago. Through the kindness of Mr. Kelley, whose handsome residence in Clay county surmounts a high elevation overlooking Kansas City in the distance, the opportunity of opening a mound within his orchard was secured. After a picnic lunch provided by the ladies of the party, work was commenced with a zeal. Backed by ample reails, the mound was soon opened sufficiently to discover the characteristics found in all previously opened—the four walls of masoney at right angles, about eight feet square, clay burnt to the color of brick, charcoal and bits of lime, showing the presence of fire within the cairns, tombs or abodes. Later on "pay dirt" was struck and fragments of bone procured. Soon followed the disclosure of skulls in a crumbling condition, fragments of thigh bones, bones of the arm, the enameled cap of two molars, in good condition and of unmistakable identity. The most interesting article of the entire "find," as pronounced by Professor Snow, was a single minute shell bead with a hole through it, showing it to have been one of an original string, as of to-day. The indications from the fragments gathered pointed to the fact of two bodies having been buried there, and those of humans of small stature, and while the exhumations added nothing material for the benefit of science, it confirmed the certainty of such remains being within these mounds and the uniformity with which the manner of interment was conducted by those people of other days. The usual square apartment with an entrance at one side, the burnt clay, ashes, charcoal, leaves one in doubt as to whether they were originally abodes for living, or vaults for dead, and this question will doubtless never find a true answer. For lack of time thorough examination of the mound was not completed, and it was determined on the part of Professor Nichols and

Furthermore, as the Courier, having a larger circulation than any other paper in the city, is recognized as the best advertising medium which can be obtained in Lawrence. There is hardly a paper in the state in which advertisements bring in better returns to the advertisers than does the Courier; that is, in comparison to the cost of the advertisements.
The Courier is self-supporting, and does not consume the money of the student.
The aforesaid Lawrence daily had better own up that its advocacy of the abolishment of the University papers is wholly actuated by mercenary motives, since the merchants of Lawrence patronize the Courier to a loss perhaps to the city paper.
The following is the account of the Science Club excursion, copied from the Kansas City Journal of Sunday:

members of the Science Club to continue the work next Saturday, jointly with the students and professors of Park College. Altogether the excursion was regarded as satisfactory, and the results highly interesting.
A Dead College.
During my rambles last summer I was permitted to visit a dead college. It was a visit I had often longed to make, and when the opportunity came I embraced it at once. I doubt not that most of my readers have heard of Washington and Jefferson college, but perhaps many do not know of the history of the institution—that it was formed by the union of Jefferson and Washington colleges. These institutions were both founded prior to the year 1800, and were located at a distance of eighteen miles from each other. Both were Presbyterian colleges; both were strong and sent out hundreds of alumni, many of whom have held prominent places in our country's roll of honor. About seventeen years ago the trustees concluded to unite the two colleges, and the stronger and more prominent of the two—Jefferson—was closed and Washington & Jefferson college was started at Washington.
It was on a pleasant morning last July that I left Pittsburg, darkened as usual by her mantle of smoke, and turned westward to visit the old college town of Canonsburg. The "Panhandle" road runs through a very picturesque region. The scene is constantly varying. Hills and valleys, tunnels and embankments are passed; now we are in the cool depths of a wood, anon in the smoke, hurry and oustle of a manufacturing town; then a turn in the road and we go up the valley of the Chartiers, through one of the farming countries in western Pennsylvania. In this part of the state the natural gas abounds, and oil is now found in abundance, so all the farmers have gone to digging for 'tile.' The hills are covered with derreas, the valleys with tanks. The discovery of oil will change very materially the outlook of Washington county, and will in a few years take away all those features which have characterized its people. After a ride of about two hours a sudden turn on the road brought to my view a square white tower, surmounting a plain brick building, with a steep gable of the old Dutch style. This was my first view of JEFFERSON COLLEGE.
Canonsburg is a quaint, quiet old town, which has changed out little in a hundred years. It does not grow as other towns do; it is not subject to the same influences. While the college lived, Canonsburg lived for the college; now that Jefferson is dead, the town lives on from force of habit and to hate Washington. The railroad has come in the last few years, but has made no change in the village. Nestled down among her hills, she seems only to live to keep watch over her dead. A large majority of the buildings were built either in the first half of the present century, or in the last century, so consequently I was much impressed by the venerable appearance of everything about the town—even the girls. Old Jefferson stands two-thirds up a steep, rocky hill, his campus an unkept, treeless, stony square, his plain brick walls, her old battered wooden bell
tower, her broken windows, all speak of the lack of care she has suffered, and present a marked contrast to the other colleges I visited.
On entering the building and visiting the rooms, one realizes for the first time what a bitter blow it was to the people of Canonsburg, and how zealously they kept everything as it was before the consolidation. In the rooms the old desks stand as of yore, all carved and whittled by the knives of generations of students, many of whom have passed from this life. The plastering lays where it fell, and a covering of dirt is over everything. Part of the building is used as an academy, and is in good repair, while the chapel does duty as a church.
The college library is a wreck. Piles of dusty books, mutilated by the axes of the indignant citizens, who declared that the "muskrat settlement" should not have the property of Jefferson; broken shelves and torn pamphlets—that is Jefferson library, a moment of waste and of folly, engendered by hatred and disappointment.
I visited the halls and libraries of Franklin and Philo societies. These halls are elegantly furnished, and the libraries which accumulated for three quarters of a century, are now each equal in size to our University library. These halls have not been changed in the least since the day Jefferson college closed its doors forever.
There is no need to speak of the old president's mansion, with its large, low, comfortable rooms; of the chapel or gymnasium; they are of to-day as well as of a century ago. But what was Jefferson, is now dead and falling to decay. It seems a shame that the old school should be stricken down by her false friends. Washington & Jefferson college has never equaled in strength either of the two old colleges—largely on account of the growth of other and better schools, parity because the union was opposed by the friends of the colleges themselves. Jefferson college has sent forth her sons for a century; they have labored hard and suffered; many have risen to prominence, many given up their lives for their principles in the late conflict; but whether living lives of obscurity or toil, or enjoying wealth and honor and power, it can well be said that Jefferson college has been honored in her sons. Even though her brick walls will crumble, her name will go down to posterity as one of the great colleges of America. Yes, and her sons honor her, too, and love her as of old. Hear the voice of one who left her walls over thirty years ago:
"Old burg, that nestles 'mong the Chartier hills,
You are not rich in beauty or in wealth.
Yet you are fair, and near and dear to us;
For on your breast you bear the thing we loved；
A shell—'us soulless now; its soul has fled,
But lives undying in the love of sons
Who bear her impress on their heart of hearts,
Old Alma Mater."

For once I am not going to be personal. My reasons are two: First, I have promised not to reveal my name. Second, it is not a pleasant treat to the nostrils to raise too much wind around a decayed carcass. My motive in touching the subject at all is simply to show that in the University, as elsewhere, "things are not always what they seem."
In lieu of his sight name I shall call the subject of my narrative "Kansas."
When you find a chap proclaiming for himself a higher grade of purity than has been doled out to the rest of mankind, "shust look a leetle outt." This doctrine gained no little strength in my mind from the incident I am about to relate. Kansas in his days was one of the prime movers in college affairs. He was a leader in things political, was more or less popular with the boys, moved in what is known as the "higher circles" of the University, and old Granny Rumor had his name linked in future bliss with a number of Oread's best looking daughters. He came to prominence in a number of enterprices which I cannot mention without revealing his identity. In fact, he was held up by his friends as a chaste model for the young collegian. Nobody, however, seemed to appreciate his melligenous goodness so much as himself. His chapel speeches, his society debates, his journalistic contributions, were all of one refrain — this earthly dwelling of ours had become a den of vileness in which the people were correspondingly worse as you approached the upper stories. The only really tolerable people were those who lived in the basements. The Augean stables were crystal palaces of purity in comparison with this sinful world. He always left us to infer that the only means of cleansing an earthly habitation would be to let loose another flood; and even that would be ineffacious unless he was selected as the progenitor of the new race.
One day in the Eldridge House office I happened to notice on the register the name "Mrs. Dr. Kansas." Dropping in on Kansas the same afternoon, I jokingly remarked that I saw he had his wife, "Mrs. Dr. Kansas," registered at the Eldridge. He turned palid, wheeled on me, and gasping demanded what I meant. That something was terribly awry, was painfully evident. Next day a woman called on Kansas expressing a preference to be shown direct to his room, instead of meeting him in the parlor. Kansas' roommate was witness to a stormy scene. Kansas quickly got the woman out of the house and accompanied her to the Eldridge. That same afternoon she left the city, and so far as I know, never returned.
The cat was out of the bag. Kansas confessed the whole affair, and begged his roommate and myself not to tell on him. This moral reformer of the University had a number of years before married the woman in Iowa. A year later he deserted her and their babe, since which time she had not heard of him. Coming to the classic city in the practice of the profession which she had adopted as a means of livelihood, she had accidentally heard his name and discovered his identity. The nature of the “arrangements” by which she was induced to leave the city I never heard; but I tremble to think of the scandal that would have rocked Mont Oread had the “arrangements” not been perfected. Whether Kansas had in reality ever pledged himself to any of the innocent beauties of K. S. U. is problematical. The signs pointed to that conclusion. Be that as it may, such vows were never cemented by the probate's seal. The patriot, moralist, reformer and wifedesertar, continued to wage a wordy warfare against the iniquities of time.
I see that some members of the upper classes of the University are agitating the question of class hats. Let them pause! I presume that after twelve or fifteen years progress in toleration, it will be safe to appear in a class hat without serious danger of being clubbed to death. One of the things for which I am grateful to a divine Providence, is that I once wore a mortar board hat and yet am alive.
The mortar board accomplished one grand purpose. it showed that there was once a class in the University that was harmonious enough to agree on something or other. True, we had to expel one member from the class and duck three others in order to secure harmony, but we got it.
The project of mortar boards was fraught with profound doubts. Could we pay for the hats? Would the Freshmen allow us to wear them? After much buldozing of members the first problem was solved. A caucus was then called to discuss the second. It was decided that Sophs would not appear on the street in less than sets of six, and that the protection of the police should be invoked. Another question was where to store the hats at the University. The chancellor's safe wasn't large enough, and the superintendent refused us the engine house. With rare intrepidity Prof. Canfield came forward and offered to guard them in his study, an offer that was eagerly accepted.
The first appearance of the class in mortar boards wasn't exactly what might be called an astounding success, though it partook something of an ovation. We marched down Massachusetts street in a body. The news boys yelled "pan-cakes" and "flat heads," and the boot blacks threw mud, and the tradesmen said they didn't think a minstrel show coming to town without a band should be patronized. It came to be tacitly understood, however, that if a Soph got inside of church safely, he shouldn't be hooted at during services.
The mortar board, I grieve to say, was a failure. It was the worst abortion of all the diabolical shapes of tiles inflicted on humanity since the days of Adam. It was neither useful nor ornamental. In winter it was colder than an ice cream freezer, and in summer it blistered the scalp. If you wished to tip your hat to a lady, you were sure to knock it off. The least breeze would send it skyward, and the least jostle flopped it to the ground. If you went to hang it up it was sure to tumble down, and if you laid it down it was equally determined to roll over. The tassel slapped you in the eyes or tickled you behind the ears. There wasn't room enough for
a mortar board under an umbrella, and it was only wide enough to run the water down your shirt bosom. It didn't answer for a riding hat, and all the angels couldn't make it do service as a night-cap. It wasn't adapted for foot ball or base ball or rowing. It wouldn't fit under an opera chair, it was too big to hold on your lap, and it didn't make a very good foot rest. On walking home from the theater it wouldn't let you near enough to your girl to—to—that is—well, it wouldn't you near enough to protect her from the wind; and when you went to bid her good bye at the gate, the mortar boards would meet and twist and wrestle and writhe until you had to throw the plagued things on the sidewalk in order to say good night in the most approved college fashion. In truth, the only good use to which a mortar board can be put, I accidentally discovered last spring. Having promised mine to a young lady for a masquerade, I wrote to the boarding mistress with whom I left it, and received this reply: "Can't send your hat for a week yet. The old hen is still setting, and I wont break up her nes for any masquerade."

Excursion To-morrow.
The cheapest and pleasantest excursion of the season will be the one to be given Saturday to Kansas City and return for $1.50, including admission to the Cyclorama of "The Storming of Mission Ridge." The price of admission to this is 50 cents, so that the round trip ticket on rail road will be $1.00.
The cyclorama is said to be one of the finest paintings of the kind, and all who have seen it are loud in praise of its beauty and wonderful fidelity to nature. Tickets must be secured by to-night, in order to get the $1.50 rate. Tickets sold Saturday morning will be $1.70. The excursion will be one of special coaches, so there will be no crowding, the number in each car being limited to fifty. Tickets can be had of Markley and Cummings.

The Orophilians held a meeting last Friday to elect their annual program. They took up the whole afternoon in determining who were voters, and at 6:15 P.M. they adjourned, without having made any nominations.
UNITY CLUB—Meets to-night in the parliars of the Unitarian church, at 8 o'clock. Prof. Aldrich will lecture during the literary hour on "The history of German music," with illustrations. Reports from committees on current events and associated charities will be given, and the social hour will be made as pleasant as possible. A cordial invitation is extended to all students to attend the meetings of this club.
The students of the University will have a far better opinion of the Board of Regents if they would fit up a good gymnasium. The same amount of money could not be better spent for the University than that spent on a gymnasium.
The Science Club now has a room of its own in the southeast corner of Snow Hall. They have placed there in the scientific papers and periodicals which are received by them. Their meetings will be held in this room hereafter.

Last Friday the Oreads declared their meeting of the week before illegal on account of some of the members that were present being delinquent in their dues, so in that way not having a vote. They set aside the program and officers they had elected the week before. They elected new officers, and to-day they have a program election.
Prof. Sayre has received three balances for the use of the pharmacy department. They are regulated so as to be able to weigh one-tenth of a grain. They are quite an addition to the appliances of the department.
Prof. Canfield to a student to whom he was explaining a difficult question: "Mr. ——, if you were in New York City, and a gentleman would say to you that Kansas was a grand young state, prosperous, wealthy and an honor to the Union, inhabited by contented and happy men and women, to whom would you tell him that the honor of all this prosperity belongs?" Student: "The Republican party."
The Kent Club, at their meeting Friday night, did not carry out the program proposed, on account of the small attendance. The regular election was held, with the following results: President. J. W. Roberts; secretary, A. Overton; vice presidents, B.F. Hutchings and E Sharum; treasurer, W.J. Jackson; sargeant-at-arms, John Sullivan; executive committee, Moore, Fidler and Frohlic.
Oread held a good meeting last Friday. The complete program, which included an interesting talk by Prof. Carruth, on the graduation exercises of the German Universities, was carried out. The following officers were elected: President, Denton Dunn; vice president, Henri Nickel; secretary, Ella Ropes; critic, Mamie Manley; financial secretary, F. G. Crowell; treasurer, Geo. Lewis; executive committee, Fred Bowersock, E. G. Blair and S. T. Gilmore.
The Sophomores held a meeting at the end of the fourth hour Monday. They elected officers in the following order: A. L. Wilmoth, president; Harry Buckingham, secretary; Miss Annie McKinnon, treasurer; Geo Dick, historian; Miss Gertie Crotty, poet, Frank Neal, master of athletics; Miss Emma Bartell, prophet. The class moved to adopt a class hat. A committee was appointed to report on styles of class hats. The meeting moved to instruct the master of athletics to challenge any class in the University to a game of base ball.
At the meeting of the regents' committee on building and grounds Friday, Snow Hall was formally approved and several important reports were forwarded to the governor. The road on the Mississippi street line was ordered opened from the buildings north as far as the University land extends. This was done with the expectation that the city would complete the work the short distance remaining. This will make the easiest possible approach, so level that street cars could be easily run. As nearly all the distance from the present terminus of Mississippi street to the University is through the states' land, through which the avenue will be laid out and graded by the regents, the city will gain an attractive street with almost no expense.—Journal.
The Best Building in the State. Judge Otis said last night to a Journal reporter: Snow Hall is the finest public building that the state has ever built for fifty thousand dollars. I doubt if it would be possible for any private individual to erect for that sum a better building than we have in Snow Hall. The credit is largely due to the contractors, McFarland & Son. They have worked faithfully for the interests of the University. They are skillful workmen themselves, and do considerable of the work with their own hands. After the McFarlands had built the chemical building, the regents were glad to be able to award the contract for Snow Hall to them. They have probably not made much out of this contract, but I believe they have made something. Men who know how to judge such work have expressed the greatest surprise when told that the entire building will be completed for fifty thousand dollars. Several architects said when the specifications for the building were made known, that it could not be built for less than one hundred thousand dollars. Nothing has been slighted in any way. The building is almost absolutely fire proof. It is both elegant and substantial, and is a credit to this state. The regents formally approved of it to-day, and we are all more than satisfied with it.—Journal.

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.
Some students are compelled to ride to school, others are too lazy to walk, but in either case it is a shame that the horses are compelled to stand the rain and snow and in the bleak winds of the hill while their owners are reciting in a warm building. Shelter of some sort should be built on the hill, even though it be no more than a shed.
That member of the Lawrence council who will make it his especial task to see that the question of building a sidewalk on Adams street between Tennessee and Massachusetts streets, is brought before the council, and who will use his vote and influence in seeing that such measure is carried out, will receive the blessing and friendship of every one of the many students who are compelled to use the said street.
Adams street is used now almost as much as any cross street in the southern part of the city of Lawrence, and would be used much more and would be one of the most convenient streets in that part of the city were it not for its almost impossible condition in wet weather, on account of the utter lack of walks and the fact that almost one half of the street is occupied by ditches and gulches.
This matter has been spoken o not only in the Courier, but also in the city papers, and it should be attended to at once. The longer it is delayed the more difficult will be work when it is done. The street it continually growing worse.
Next Sunday night is what is called Halloween. The night is generally devoted to mad pranks and destroying of public and private property.
For two years this night has passed by without any celebration by the students, or at least it has not been celebrated to any very serious extent. No signs have been burnt, no sidewalks torn up, no horses painted, no wagons stolen, nor none of the hundred and one deeds committed by which the student generally shows his presence. The citizen of Lawrence now spend sHalloween night in peaceful sleep, confident that in the morning he will find a roof over his head and his home intact.
We hope that there will be no tricks committed Sunday night. Even if we should have no interest in this peace and welfare of Lawrence, let us not desecrate the Sabbath evening by deeds which would be hoodlumish or unlawful on any night of the week.
That child Vrooman, who made such a disturbance in St. Joseph recently, ought to be turned over the paternal knee and chastised for his misdemeanors, such as are other children who have become too smart to live with their parents, or who think they own the earth, the moon, the stars, etc., or who imagine they are
Every student has, or ought to have, an interest in the good name of the University. Every student knows that it does not help the University, but is very harmful for them to carry on as they did a few years ago on Halloween night. We know that there are papers in this state that are always anxious to find something in the actions of the University or its students about which they can complain. Let us not give them cause to complain this year.
born to become the great reformers of the world. The law which is in the statute book of Kansas, making the attendance at school compulsory ought to be enforced in this case, and he should be compelled to attend some Kindergarten school and have some common sense beaten into his head. It is strange how men will allow themselves to be swayed by the ranting of this irresponsible fanatic. How sober, steady, hard-working men, men of families, can possibly listen to his utterances and consider them at all seriously; how men who have ever toiled and worked for a living, can think of following the teachings of this boy, who probably never spent a day in manual labor during his lifetime; how sensible men could regard him as the advocate of the working-man's rights, preaching as he does incendiarism and anarchy. We doubt if there are any such. We believe that those followers of Vrooman in St. Joseph, who gathered around the jail into which he was taken, calling for his release and threatening dire vengeance if he was not given up by the officers, we believe those to have been the roughs and hoodlums of the city, that class who are ever ready for a disturbance or fight, and who consider the police as their most deadly enemy. We cannot believe there were any true working-men in their midst, or who upheld the actions of this mob. The working-men know very well who are their friends and who are their enemies.
Let Vrooman go back to his phrenology lectures. He is better appreciated there, even if he is a laughing stock. He can do harm there neither to himself nor to any one else; while in his present course he is certainly harming himself, and possibly others

One thing that strikes an advanced student in mathematics is the very great symmetry met with everywhere and the wonderfully simple relations existing between different branches of the subject. For instance, that wonderful relation between analytical trigonometry and the theory of equations. This relation, although so simple in itself, requires too complex a system of notation to be understood by many.
The following is a theorem discovered by Wm. K. Clifford, an eminent English mathematician who died a few years ago. It shows a very curious relation between the theory of combinations and the properties of the circle, and as it is simple, I venture to give it in as simple way as possible. It will be impossible to understand it unless it is read with care, and it will be well worth any ones time and trouble to study out the meaning.
Any three joints determine a circle.
Any four joints form by combination four sets of three each, and each of these four sets of three joints each determine a circle, as above, and these four circles meet in a joint.
Any five joints form by combination five sets of four joints each, and each of these five sets of four joints each determine a joint,$^*$ as above, and the five joints $^*$ thus determined, lie on a circle,$^*$
Any six joints form by combination six sets of five, each of which leads to the circle marked,* as above, and the six circles thus determined meet in a joint.** which we will mark**.
Any seven joints form by combination seven sets of six, each of which leads to the joint,\* * as above, and these seven joints lie on a circle.\* \*
Any eight joints form by combination eight sets of seven, and each of these sets of seven leads to the circle, ** and these eight circles meet in a joint. ***
Any nine joints form by combination nine sets of eight, each of which leads to a joint, * * * and the nine joints * * * thus determined lie on a circle. * * *
Any ten joints form by combination ten sets of nine, each of which leads to the circle, * * * and these ten circles * * * meet in a joint. * * *
Any eleven joints form by combination eleven sets of ten, each of which leads to the joint, * * * * and the eleven joints * * * * thus determined all lie on a circle. * * * *
And the most wonderful part of the theorem is that I can write the remainder with two words—ad infinitum.
A theorem which is an infinite series! And yet there are other subjects of this same nature which are just as extended; for instance, the Pascal hexogram, which takes its name from the great Pascal, and from the fact that it is the relations of six joints which lie on a comic, and the lines which connect them, the joints of intersection of these lines and their connecting lines, the joints of intersection of these and their connecting lines, etc., etc.
Ohio State University.
On the last day of last July, an noon, I enquired of the ticket agent at Columbus, Ohio, what time a certain train left. Short and curt was the answer: "Seven o'clock this evening." Having all the afternoon in which to look around, I started up High street toward the state capitol. Before I had gone a block, however, I was hailed by a gentleman wearing a very familiar looking piece of jewelry. He did much to make my stay pleasant, and to him I am much indebted. His name was Prof. C. N. Brown, assistant in the engineering department of O. S. U. We visited the state capitol and state library. The capitol building is not at all handsome; it has been well described as "a soap box, surmounted by a cheese box." It will not begin to compare with our own building, either in size, convenience of arrangement or architectural beauty. Yet it was not devoid of interest to me. The state library is large and valuable, and seems to be much used by the citizens.
Columbus is a lovely place, with broad streets well shaded by beautiful trees. The residences in the old part of the city are well back from the street, and present a pleasing appearance of wealth and comfort. The business of the town is for the most part concentrated on High street. The new government building is a handsome structure and will and much to the attractiveness of the town. After looking around town for an hour or so, I took my seat in a street car labeled "University." The line ran through a newer part of the city, where more modern architecture predominates.
Ohio State University is on the edge of the city, in the midst of a beautiful campus. The main building is about the size of our main
building, but not so well finished. The chapel is much smaller. The rooms will not accommodate as many as those of K. S. U., while the collections fall far short of Prof. Snow's. Ohio has a very fine geological collection—the work of Prof. Orton—and I was much pleased with that department as a whole. O. S. U. excels us in number of departments and in the completeness of some of these. As Kansas University does not embrace all the departments, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the O. S. U. machine shop. I was told that the mechanical department is considered one of the best in the school for real solid, earnest work. I found an old K. S. U. boy in the machine shops. I doubt if many who are in school now will remember him, but those who were here in '81-82, will recall J. D. Riggs. I found him with his coat off, his sleeves rolled up and hands dirty, but he was not forgetful of old Kansas friends, so I had a pleasant chat with him.
The department of natural science is well equipped with apparatus of most approved make. The chemical department has a good laboratory and building of its own. The crowning glory of Ohio State University is not in buildings, apparatus or equipments, but campus. That is where K. S. U. looks mean in comparison. A large lawn, beautiful trees (it don't need a microscope to see them, either), a large greenhouse, miniature take, and stream. Great care is taken of the campus, and the flowers are a prominent feature. Wouldn't old Jim Merys go wild with delight if Kansas should give him a small part of the money invested there! I imagine our old stony, sterile rock pile would soon present a more attractive appearance. It takes money to make any very extensive improvements, and the legislature should give us some. The campus should be as well cared for as a public park; it should be the pride of the state.
The Ohio boys can sympathize with us in regard to the niggardly appropriations for a library. The same lack of appreciation of the value of books can be noted in the solons who sit in the legislative halls of Ohio and Kansas, however, time will overcome this obstacle as well as many others.
My first sight of and acquaintance with the students of O, S. U. was on the day of the military contest at Wooster. The cadets were preps and freshmen, young kids, many of whom met with derision at Wooster, on account of their size. Small or not, they "got there all the same," and gave an exhibition of military movements that would have done credit to much older men. At Columbus I met some of the older students and professors. I found six of my own Greek brothers hard at work about the college, even though it was vacation, and to these gentlemen I must return my thanks for courtesies shown me. Through their kindness the six hours wait in Columbus passed even too quickly, and I was sorry when I had to leave.
Fraternity spirit seems strong at Columbus, and the frat men were pleasant fellows as far as my dealing with them went. I visited the Phi Gamma Delta hall there, and found it a commodious, well furnished, pleasant room, fully as nice and homelike as any of the halls here.

O. S. U. is a co-educational school, but the boys told me that the ladies were not numerous. There is no social relationship existing between the sexes as here. The girls have no fraternities; do not take part in the boy's literary societies; take no interest in college affairs; I did not hear O. S. U. boys talk of "solid girls," "Kat parties," "I C. grub," or "working the girl's votes." They know nothing of the joys of co-education. Poor boys, how little of life they have seen! I wonder how our boys could stand such an existence. If co-education is to be at all, I am in favor of admitting woman to the position she deserves. If she can compete with the men in class-room work and in study, she has a right to share the pleasures of college society; to give her voice in literary and scientific organizations, and manifest an interest in all that pertains to the welfare of the college. However, I did not see the O. S. U. girls, or I might side with the boys. I only speak from a knowledge of K. S. U.'s bevy of sweet girl undergraduates.
I certainly will long remember my pleasant afternoon in the capitol city of Ohio, and not least of the pleasures of my eastern trip, I count my visit to Ohio State University.

REMINISCENCES.
[For the Courier.]
For some time I have had a feeling that the University was undergoing an evolution. Not until recently, however, did I know the institution had been tee-totally revolutionized. This startling discovery was made by reading the leader in a recent Courier's editorials. It says there are in the University positively no conversationalists. No conversationalists in K. S. U.! No conversationalists! Whillikers! What has become of 'em? O'ho there, Tucker, come back. Bion Hutchins, where are you? Long legged short trowsered Phillip Young, do you hear that?—"no conversationalists in K. S. U.!" You Foster boys, come running. Scott Hopkins, drop that baby and make you hence. Pliny Soper, get you to the University lively—only mind you can't cuss nowadays. Thacher and Humphrey and Meserve, go thither and jabber to your heart's content; and for once you wont be cut short by calls for the "previous question." Now, Ed Little, you just run and spout to those boys until we get 'there. This thing of our dear old Alma Mater pining and sighing and dying for conversationalists will never do.
It is not many years since the University boasted a fine set of talkers; boys and girls who in epigram or logic, repartee or philosophy, wit or wisdom, could hold an electric light to the best of antagonists. How the very air was surcharged as some of these champions became pitted against one another. I think the honors in oratory in those days fairly belonged to Spangler, though he did not make the hullabaloo about it that some of the less gifted but more pretentious chaps. The most magnetic effort from the chapel rostrum was Scott Hopkins' commencement valedictory, as a reward for which there was built up around the favorite Scott a rampart of floral art as high as his head. In the off-hand
debate there can be no question as to the winner of laurels, for John T. Harlow was head and shoulders above the best of his rivals. He would walk into Orophilian hall on election day, after political schemes were cut and dried; after his opponents had made their slates, formed their combinations and pledged their voters; when the result seemed a foregone conclusion; he would enter against these formidable odds, and by one masterly speech crush his antagonists, smash their slates, capture their adherents and win the day. P. C. Young, long and stalky, was another of the skilled off-hand speakers. He several times represented Oread society in the annual contests. On one of these occasions, after a long series of rehearsals on his set debate, Phillip, like many another unlucky wight, broke down on the opening sentence. Unabashed by this bad break, Young started off on a rough and tumble argument, striding from one side of the stage to the other, and swinging his arms like a Dutch windmill. The effect was electrical. For once the audience didn't have to listen to a hand organ speech, and their vociferous cheers testified to their appreciation. Herbert J. Humphrey was another chap with an influential tongue, which he wagged in an awfully erratic manner. He would arise and in a few minutes talk thoroughly convince his fellow Oreads whitewash made a far prettier wall than the most elegantly tinted paper. No sooner had his deluded hearers voted the whitewash than the crafty Herbert would move a reconsideration of the question, and then in most winning phrases, extol the superiority of wall paper, and abuse those who dared utter a word for whitewash. Then the society, terror stricken, would vote the wall paper and appoint Herb to get it, though he had about as much taste in wall paper as a Poland China hog.
But the curious thing—not so curious either, when you come to know the ins and outs—was that not one of these fine speakers ever took a prize in the University, while some of the jaded dolts made a professional business of raking in the substantial honors. Neither Hopkins, nor Spangler, nor Harlow, nor Young, nor Humphrey, ever won a book, or cent, or hair pin, in the whole of their college life. In truth, these fellows had ideas in their heads, and no one ever spoke in the University, on a question that had two sides, and got a prize.
How the genus "spouterifera" could have so suddenly become extinct in K. S. U., is a scientific mystery worthy of Prof. Snow's closest investigations. Why, it was only last year that Prof. Canfield had to muzzle the lawyers in his political economy class in order to give other members a show. Then again it used to be a problem in the botany class how to let each member of sixty Freshmen talk ten minutes each during a one hour recitation. The literary societies would hold night sessions in order to give all a chance to talk, the sargeant-at-arms locking the doors to hold an audience. But that generation of students has departed, a new race has taken their place, and there stands the classic pride of Kansas "silent, speechless, mute" (except in Review elections). SMITH.

The University Voice gives a vivid description of the rush between the Freshmen and Sophomore classes of Wooster University last Friday afternoon, which resulted in a tie.
The attendance at the German Universities for the summer semester just closed was 28,021, divided as follows: Berlin, 4,434; Leipzig, 3,060; Munich, 3,055; Halle, 1,518; Breslau, 1,425; Tuebinger, 1403; Wuerzburg, 1,369; Freiburg, 9,319; Bonn, 1,293; Goettingen, 1,076; Heidelberg, 2,016; Griefswald, 1,016; Marburg, 939; Erlangen, 969; Koenigsburg, 876; Strassburg, 846; Jena, 655; Kiel, 542; Giessen, 513; Rostock, 313. The increase over the previous year is quite remarkable. In 1880 the total number was 20,988, an increase of 7,033 in half a decade. The principal increase has been in both theological and in the medical faculties; in the Protestant, from 2,315 in 1880 to 4683 in 1885; in the Roman Catholic, from 638 in 1880 to 1,197 in 1886; in the medical faculties from 4,018 in 1880 to 8,308 in 1886. The number of law students has decreased from 5,201 in 1880 to 4,914 at the present time, and the philosophical faculties have now an increase of only 103 over 1880, the present attendance being 8919. —Ex.

The above is the name of the musical melange with which Donavan's Hyers Sisters' combination entertained the patrons of the Grand last night. It is as full of comedy as it is of music, and the sweet voices of the Hyer sisters, assisted by Wallace King, Joe Hagerman and the handsome Sam Lucas, made the entertainment a very pleasant one. Mrs. Sam Lucas merited the applause she received for her violin and cornet solos. The last act is a real musical gem, in which they all excel, and the curtain was rung down amid regrets from the entire audience.—The Dayton Daily Democrat, Aug. 29, 1886.—The Hyer Sisters will be here Friday, Nov. 5th.
