Heating apparatus was put in Snow Hall the first of the week.
The Sophomores begin laboratory practice next Wednesday.
Let us agitate the question of a gymnasium till we have one.
The cold weather has not seemed to hurt the base ball spirit in K. S. U. one bit.
The course of musical lectures began last Wednesday. The first lecture was delivered by Prof. McDonald.
It was the Courier that moulded public opinion in regard to Snow Hall, and it will continue to cry gymnasium till we have it.
According to a correspondent of the Kansas City Journal, the total expenditure for the University amounts to $574,176.17.
All the stone in front of the main building is being taken out except enough for a drive way. The space will be filled with flower beds.
Most all the faculty seem to be womens' rights men since last commencement, when the girls beat the boys on the program.
The boys now have cards with "I know it" printed thereon. They are to be shown to the person who produces the"I am somewhat of a liar myself" card.
A foot ball team is being organized with Mulvane as captain. A new ball has been ordered, but in the meantime the old ball will be used for practicing purposes.
The work of extending the street car track south on Tennessee street has progressed rapidly during the week, and in a short time cars will be running thereon.
Hallowe'en was observed less in the city than any such night for several years. The influence of the Great Religious Weekly is felt throughout Lawrence.
Susan B. Anthony does not resemble the typical woman suffrage women in the least. She looks more like a kind old grandmother who ought to have the knitting needles in her hands.
The balances which were purchased for the pharmacy department will weigh, instead of one-tenth of a grain, as was stated in last week's Courier, one-tenth of a milligram.

The Kappa Alpha Theta journal published at this place was issued the latter part of last week. It is a very creditable issue, neat and tasty in appearance, and filled with well written and well selected articles. The magazine is an honor to everyone connected with it, to the chapter at this place and to the fraternity at large.
Oread held an election last Friday to elect the contestants for the December contest between Oread and Orophilian. The following were chosen: Orator, Henri Nickel; debater, Fred Bowersock; declaimer, Gertie Hunnicut; essayist, Agnes Wright; president of the evening, Frank Crowell. The fortunate ones are well known as speakers of ability and note, and combined with those elected for Orophilian, will make a strong and interesting program.
"The KANSAS STUDENT.—A farmer near Paola, Kas., has been for a long time losing his spring chickens and was unable to locate the culprit, although a neighbor's pet fox was suspected. The farmer's son arrived home from college lately and was equal to the emergency as long as there was no work in prospect. So he arranged a large looking glass in the poultry house, and below it an easy trap in a tub of water. The fox came in due time, saw the reflection of the pullets, made a spring and found himself entrapped. The farmer's son will graduate from the law department."
KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA.—The first party given this fall by the ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma was that given last Friday evening at the home of Miss Mannie Heushaw. The ladies assembling early in the evening, welcomed their guests in a most pleasant and informal manner. The hours, occupied as they were, in card playing, dancing, singing, games, etc., passed only too fast for the merrymakers. At a suitable hour elegant and appetizing refreshments were served, to which the company did justice as only students know how. \t a late, or rather early hour, the happy throng dispersed, humming the airs of the beautiful songs of K. K. G., and voting the ladies of this fraternity the most pleasant entertainers of K. S. U. The company, composed almost exclusively of University students were as follows: Etta Hadley, Daisy Clendinen, Nellie Palmer, Birdie Atwood, Lillie Freeman, Eva Howe, Laura O'Bryon, Katie Hewens, Ida Hufford, Jessie McBride, Ia Williams, Grace Waugh, of Topeka, Mattie Snow, May Page, Gussie Price, Cora Kimball, Annie McKinnon; Messrs.

The department of chemistry has just received a fine lot of chemicals from Germany. It has also received specimens of some rare elements, as selenium, chronium and iridium, and a hydrogen lamp. The latter is an apparatus for producing a fire without the use of an ordinary match, and is, in fact, a chemical match of early invention. A large amount of apparatus for the use of students in the chemical laboratory has also arrived from Europe. For the benefit and use of students in organic chemistry, the department has received some fine specimens of alcohols, ethers, hydrocarbons, etc., from Jayne & Chase, of Philadelphia.
DEDICATION OF SNOW HALL.—Snow Hall will be dedicated on Tuesday, Nov. 16th. There will be no recitations on this day. The dedicatory exercises will be held at ten o'clock A.M., in Snow Hall. Some of the most noted men of the state will take part. At eleven o'clock Prof. E.D. Cope, of Philadelphia, one of the best known naturalists in America, secretary of the Philadelphia Academy of Science, and a worker in the Smithsonian Institute of Washington, will deliver an address in the main building. In the evening the first lecture of the lecture course of this year will be delivered by Prof. Branner, of the Indiana State University, the subject being "A Naturalist in Brazil." This lecture will be made a part of the dedication exercises. Prof. Branner has spent several years in South America, as one of the members of the Royal Geological Survey, instituted by Don Pedro, and his knowledge of the country is most intimate. The complete program will be published in next week's Courier.
K. A. T. PARTY.—The Kappa Alpha Theta entailed their gentlemen friends last Friday evening at the home of Miss May Webster, on Ohio street. The spacious parlors of the house were splendidly decorated for the occasion, and were thronged with the beautiful hostesses of the occasion. The evening was passed pleasantly with games, dancing and conversation, until eleven o'clock, when refreshments were served that rendered full justice to the occasion. The merry party broke up at an early hour, and all present left, voting the Kappa Alpha Theta the most pleasant and charming entertainers of K. S. U. Those present were: Misses May Webster, Jean Anderson, Alice Bartell, Emma Bartell, Mildred Pickard, Stella Overton, Tella Chapman, Alice Cummings, Luella Moore, Marcella Howland, Lizzie Pettee, Hattie Cook, Maud Thrasher, Ella Ropes, Mamie Tisdale, Sydney Dailey, Kate Cox, Lizzie Wilder, Kate Wilder; Messrs Rob Rankin, S.

K. S. U. will soon complete a building which will for grandeur, beauty, magnificence, convenience, in fact, in every requisite of a perfect college building, surpass any college building in the state of Kansas—we might say, any west of the Mississippi. That building is Snow Hall.
A couple of weeks ago Washburn College dedicated her new library building with appropriate exercises. The completion of this building was an event in the life of the college which those in charge of that institution deemed of sufficient importance to observe in a grandly fitting manner. All of the afternoon and evening of one Saturday was consumed in the dedication. It was one of the greatest days in the history of Washburn College.
Why is there not a male quartette formed among the singers of K. S. U.? We have students with excellent voices, pure, rich, strong and clear, but during the entire year we never have the pleasure of listening to them. In our society contest, in class day exercises, in oratorical contests, we invariably are compelled to seek for vocal performers outside of our students. This should not be. We should have a quartette or some sort of an organization which would be ready to respond to calls of this kind. No one can say that it is on account of a lack of material that such organization is not formed. Let some enthusiastic lover of music and who is acquainted with the warblers of the University, take hold of the matter and carry it to completion. Let us have more music.

Prof. Marvin has made out for each Senior a statement showing what will be required before graduation. And as it always happens, there is great consternation among the members of that class. Many claim that they are held for studies which they have passed, and record of which they supposed had been entered upon the books. Others say that they are charged with work which has been made part of the curriculum after they had finished it. And in many cases it appears that instructors have left the University without leaving any results of examinations in their departments. It requires, of course, some time and trouble to straighten out this confusion, and no one is especially to blame. But there is much more confusion so it seems to us, than is necessary. Why would it not be a good plan to give each student at the end of the school year a statement showing exactly what studies he had passed, and what were requisite for the completion of the work in the class to which he belonged. If he had failed to receive credit for a study, he could have the matter straightened while it is still fresh in the mind of the instructor. This plan would require some office work, but after the experience of last year, it seems worth while to adopt some plan different from the present one.
It has often been said, and can no longer be claimed that literary societies in K. S. S. U. are on the decline. By decline we do not mean that their membership is smaller, or that their elections are less warmly contested, but we mean that they are doing inferior work and that less interest is taken in them by the student body. The causes of this decline are attributed to two sources, viz: the technical societies and the Greek letter fraternities.
---
Within the last few years the rapid development the University has made has brought to it men of marked abili-
ity and enthusiasm, and no department has failed to receive an impetus from them. As a consequence of this, there has sprung up an interest in special studies and a desire to do work in special directions. Naturally, societies and clubs have been formed to aid students in these various branches. And as a result we have had the Medies Club, the Engineering Society, the Philological Club, and others. These societies, while doing good in their line, have no doubt detracted much from the literary societies. It may seem strange to some that the secret fraternities have injured our literary societies, but such is the fact, for they supply to a number of students social opportunities which formerly were offered to a certain extent by the literary societies. It has often been urged that fraternity men worked great harm to the literary societies by their political schemes and machinations. While there may be some truth in this charge, it is more likely that they have ceased to feel an interest in literary societies because fraternity interests have absorbed their attentions and demanded their time.
Many persons think that there is cause for regret in the fact that literary societies are declining, but we do not think it is necessarily a bad sign. Students who join technical societies and in them a benefit which cannot be derived from literary societies, and every one interested in the University must be pleased at the growth on these technical societies,
But the question arises, what is the duty of fraternities in view of the fact that their existence is detrimental to the literary societies. Plainly it is their duty to furnish to their members the training of the literary societies. For it cannot be denied that to the general student this training is of great importance. It may be truthfully said that no student has ever acquired prominence as a writer or speaker, who was not an energetic worker in the literary societies. It may be urged that the objects of the fraternity are purely social, but if that be true, they make a mistake if they do not supplement their social culture with literary training, for it is to their own interest to do so. But it may be asked what is to be done for students who are neither members of technical or secret societies? For them the literary society exists, and it is obviously to their best interests to give it a good share of their attention and support.
The ceremonies attending the unveiling of the Bartholdi statue shows how friendly are the relations between France and America. The monument has been erected in remembrance of the ancient friendship between the two countries. The plan for such a statue was first made public in 1874, and in 1883 it was completed in Paris. In June, 1884, the statue was brought to America, and since then the work has been pushed forward as rapidly as possible to make ready for the unveiling on Oct. 28. Between the French and American people there has always existed kindred feelings and aspirations. Their sympathy aided us at a critical moment, while we have watched their progress with a friendly eye. Linked with the memory of our own heroes, are others who came from France.
The gift of one great nation to another the statue of liberty, standing guard, as it were, at the portal of the Republic, will not only remind us of our friendly relation with France in the past, but will serve to strengthen the friendly relations we hope to continue in the future.
Phi Gamma Delta Convention. The annual convention of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity which was held on the 28th, 29th and 30th of last month, at Springfield, Ohio, was a great success in every respect. It was a representative assembly of picked men from thirty-two leading educational institutions of the United States, with a seasoning of older men, alumni who gladly renewed their college days with their younger brothers. The convention was held under the auspices of Sigma Chapter, Wittenberg college, of Springfield. The members of Sigma made every effort for the success of the convention, and the comfort, pleasure, and work of their visiting brethren. They were highly successful, for the convention and more work than has any other for years, and all was done harmoniously and carefully.
The convention deserves the name of "the working convention." The delegates were enthusiastic, energetic and well acquainted with the needs of the fraternity. Changes were made in the constitution and work on the order, new lines of progress were marked out, and the organization strengthened in many particulars. The fraternity was never in better condition. During the past year chapters have been placed at Ann Arbor, Michigan; Knox College, Illinois; Lehigh University, Pennsylvania; University of California; William Jewell college, Missouri; Adelbert college, Cleveland, Ohio; Denison University, Ohio; and alumni chapters have been formed at Chatanooga, Tennessee; and Philadelphia. These show the national progressive spirit of Phi Gamma Delta. On the subject of extension, the fraternity has always been considered conservative, but the great colleges and universities of the United States present a wide field.
The Phi Gamma Delta Quarterly, one of the best of fraternity publications, was again placed in the hands of Omega chapter, Columbia college, New York. It will be made even better than last year, when it was a model. The subscription price was raised and made compulsory upon all active members.
During the past year Phi Gamma Delta has made many improvements. Alpha Phi chapter, at Ann Arbor, is now occupying a chapter house, and a club house will soon be built in New York City for the use of the three chapters and many members in that city, and also as a place where all Phi Gams who visit the great metropolis can find friends and brotherly hospitality. All the chapters report bright prospects. With chapters in New York and California, Michigan and Texas, and in nearly all the leading colleges between those points, Phi Gamma Delta is entitled to the name of a great national fraternity. The active membership is much larger than ever before, and at every college where the fraternity is represented, there are worthy representatives of the grand old order.
At the urgent invitation and request
of the western chapters, the next convention will be held at Bloomington, Illinois, on the 26th, 27th, and 28th of next October, under the auspices of Alpha Deuteron chapter, at the illinois Westleyan.
This convention being held in Ohio, was attended by a large number of Chi Gams. There are seven chapters in the state of Ohio, all very prosperous. They have a state association and hold a state convention each May. The chapters in Indiana and Pennsylvania do likewise. The new Chi Gam song book, edited by W. C. Steir, of Lafayette college, Easton, Pennsylvania, made its appearance in time for the convention. Work on the new catalogue is progressing vigorously and it was ordered that it be completed by the 1st of next March. In every direction the convention pushed out aggressively, and the fraternity will at once feel the stimulus of its actions. The work done will be seen soon in the steady advance of the order. The delegates laid aside state or college prejudice and labored only for the best interests of the fraternity they love, and the laurels of triumphant success will crown their efforts.
The following communication, sent to every college included in the Interstate Oratorical Association, explains itself. That the plan is a very desirable one, cannot be questioned. Let every college in this state send delegates to the next meeting of the State Oratorical Association, instructed to vote and work for the adoption of this amendment to the constitution of the Association:
To the Members of each Local College Association in the Nine States Composing the Inter-State Oratorical Association :
Your attention is asked to the following important matter: A plan has been offered by the present interstate secretary by which it is proposed to build up A LITERATURE OF COLLEGE ORATORY. Heretofore the orations have gone to the four winds and in a short time no trace of them can be found. It was thought that if the best of the orations each year could be collected, bound and preserved by each college in the Association, it would add to the character and efficiency of the work done, in the following ways:
1st. It would set up a standard of oratory upon which improvement could be made.
2nd. It would reward effort, by placing the work in a permanent and enduring form in the library.
3rd. It would add an attractive volume annually to the library.
4th. It would tend to prevent plagiarism,
A plan has been formulated by which each local college Association may receive annually, in uniform shapes, all the orations at the state and inter-state contests. The plan is as follows:
1. For the winning orator at each local college contest to furnish to the secretary of his state Association as many copies of his oration, when printed for the state contest, as there are local college Associations in the nine states.
2. The state secretaries of each state will then forward the orations so received to the state secretaries of the other states (reserving one for

3. The orators who represent the different states at the inter-state contest are then to furnish to the inter-state secretary sufficient copies of their final oration, so that each local Association may have a copy, and the inter-state secretary forwards to the different state secretaries.
4. When the copies of the state and inter-state orations are all in the hands of the state secretary of each state, it is his duty to forward a full set to each local college, and they can then be bound for the library shelf.
5. In order that the different onions may be conveniently bound, it is necessary to print the pages of uniform size and type, and it is proposed to print in long primer type and make the page four inches wide and six inches long, with a margin of one and one-half inches wide.
To set this plan in motion, amendments to the inter-state constitution were introduced at Lawrence, Kansas, last May, making the necessary provisions, and they received the most hearty approval of every orator and delegate. The amendment specifying the size of page is as follows:
ART. V1., SEC. 4. The orations for the inter-state contest shall be printed by the state Associations according to the following uniform standard: They shall be set in long primer type, the body of each page being four (4) inches wide and six (6) inches long, with a margin one and one-half $(\frac{1}{2})$ inches in width. Ninety copies of the oration shall contain the name and college of the author, and ten copies shall be printed with name and college omitted.
An amendment was also proposed at the Ohio state convention, making the same provisions in regard to the Ohio state orations, and was adopted. The same amendments have been also adopted by the Oberlin College Association. So this year the Oberlin College Association will be able, by the operation of laws already passed, to secure and preserve all of its own orations, the Ohio state orations and the inter-state. It is hoped and expected that the various state Associations and the local college Associations will at once adopt similar amendments, and it will then only require an exchange between the states to make it an annual arrangement and a permanent success.
Now it has been thought best to effect these changes this year and gather the orations even in advance of constitutional amendment. This circular will be sent to each local college Association, and if you will furnish your winning oration to the rest of the colleges, you will receive copies of all the others and we can start the first volume with this year.
Please notify your state secretary at once, that you will come into the arrangement. He will in turn inform the inter-state secretary, and you will then be notified as to the number required. It will not exceed seventy-five copies. I might add that after the necessary copies are printed for the use of the judges, it will only cost about two cents per copy to print the additional numbers.

torical skill of the colleges of nine of the best states in the union. Let us work together for the success of this project!
The careful study of the above will prove the strongest argument for the adoption of such a course. Hitherto its desirability has been merely agitated. Now comprehensive plans have been formed. Let us do our duty toward their fulfillment.
Ohio seems to have taken the lead in this beneficial project. May Illinois, who is ever well to the front in such matters, land next in line.

Prof. Snow received the following better from Will Brown, which explains itself:
CALF CREEK,
100 MILES N. E. OF MILES CITY.
Oct. 19, 1886.
DEAR PROFESSOR:—The expedition has been very successful so far. We have killed eight buffaloes and a large number of antelopes, wolves, etc. The eight buffaloes have been killed within the last few days. Night before last the Indians robbed us of the largest one, which had been killed the evening before. They carried away all the meat, broke the large bones for the marrow and took the skin, with the exception of the head, which they painted red on one side and yellow on the other, tied a red and yellow ribbon to one horn, and cut eleven notches in the other. Exactly what they mean by this decoration we do not know. The cowboys and soldiers who are with us thought it advisable for each man to keep his gun near aim. Mr. Hornaday sends a report of the matter to the commanding of deer at Ft. Keogh, recommending that he send a troop of cavalry to take them back to the reservation before they do any further damage. Do not know what Indians they are, but suppose they are those who have been killing cattle and stealing horses ease of here. We do not fear any harm personally from them, and do not stop our work on their account. Everybody is well in camp, and we have any amount of fresh meat. I is very dry here, there having been out three rainy days since we have been here. I am keeping a record of the temperature—make a report three times each day, early in the morning about 1 P. M. and about 9 P. M. The weather has been very pleasant so far. This is the coldest evening we have had. The thermometer stands at 9:15 P. M., at 10° above zero, and heavy frost. The average has been since the 1st of October thirty mornings and evenings, 50° in heat of the day, the highest 70° and the lowest, this evening, 10° You must excuse poor writing, etc., as I write in a hurry, and the table I write on is not a year good one.
The COURIER suggests that one of the literary societies of K. S. U. challenge a literary society of any neighboring college to a debate, and in this way stir up a little inter-collegiate spirit.
Respectfully yours, W.H.BROWN

We take great pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of the Rockford Seminary Magazine, a very attractive magazine published by the young ladies of Rockford Seminary, Rockford, Illinois. To say that we are pleased with this magazine, would not be half expressing our admiration for it. The exchange columns are the most interesting of the paper, and the editors of the Magazine may congratulate themselves on having such an able editor of that department. Judging from their columns their reception given to the Y. M. C. A. of Rockford must have been a grand affair; and from the fact that part of these young gentlemen remained until requested to depart by the faculty, we conclude that the students of Rockford Seminary are very attractive young ladies.
We have received another copy of the Hillsdale Herald, after an absence of a few weeks, which gave us grounds to hope that the Herald had taken a vacation in order that its editors might rest up and regain their strength and energy, which they must have lost in their tremendous effort to sustain the high reputation of the Herald; but instead, we find the last number as miserable and as full of nothing as ever.
The Washington-Jeffersonian is a first class college paper. Its literary matter reflects great credit upon its able editors. We can read it from beginning to end with pleasure, which can not be said of many others of our exchanges.

K. S. U. will soon complete a building which will for grandeur, beauty, magnificence, convenience, in fact, in every requisite of a perfect college building, surpass any college building in the state of Kansas—we might say, any west of the Mississippi. That building is Snow Hall.
A couple of weeks ago Washburn College dedicated her new library building with appropriate exercises. The completion of this building was an event in the life of the college which those in charge of that institution deemed of sufficient importance to observe in a grandly fitting manner. All of the afternoon and evening of one Saturday was consumed in the dedication. It was one of the greatest days in the history of Washburn College.

Why is there not a male quartette formed among the singers of K. S. U.? We have students with excellent voices, pure, rich, strong and clear, but during the entire year we never have the pleasure of listening to them. In our society contest, in class day exercises, in oratorical contests, we invariably are compelled to seek for vocal performers outside of our students. This should not be. We should have a quartette or some sort of an organization which would be ready to respond to calls of this kind. No one can say that it is on account of a lack of material that such organization is not formed. Let some enthusiastic lover of music and who is acquainted with the warblers of the University, take hold of the matter and carry it to completion. Let us have more music.

Prof. Marvin has made out for each Senior a statement showing what will be required before graduation. And as it always happens, there is great consternation among the members of that class. Many claim that they are held for studies which they have passed, and record of which they supposed had been entered upon the books. Others say that they are charged with work which has been made part of the curriculum after they had finished it. And in many cases it appears that instructors have left the University without leaving any results of examinations in their departments. It requires, of course, some time and trouble to straighten out this confusion, and no one is especially to blame. But there is much more confusion so it seems to us, than is necessary. Why would it not be a good plan to give each student at the end of the school year a statement showing exactly what studies he had passed, and what were requisite for the completion of the work in the class to which he belonged. If he had failed to receive credit for a study, he could have the matter straightened while it is still fresh in the mind of the instructor. This plan would require some office work, but after the experience of last year, it seems worth while to adopt some plan different from the present one.

It has often been said, and can no longer be claimed that literary societies in K. S. S. U. are on the decline. By decline we do not mean that their membership is smaller, or that their elections are less warmly contested, but we mean that they are doing inferior work and that less interest is taken in them by the student body. The causes of this decline are attributed to two sources, viz: the technical societies and the Greek letter fraternities.
Within the last few years the rapid development the University has made has brought to it men of marked ability and enthusiasm, and no department has failed to receive an impetus from them. As a consequence of this, there has sprung up an interest in special studies and a desire to do work in special directions. Naturally, societies and clubs have been formed to aid students in these various branches. And as a result we have had the Medies Club, the Engineering Society, the Philological Club, and others. These societies, while doing good in their line, have no doubt detracted much from the literary societies. It may seem strange to some that the secret fraternities have injured our literary societies, but such is the fact, for they supply to a number of students social opportunities which formerly were offered to a certain extent by the literary societies. It has often been urged that fraternity men worked great harm to the literary societies by their political schemes and machinations. While there may be some truth in this charge, it is more likely that they have ceased to feel an interest in literary societies because fraternity interests have absorbed their attentions and demanded their time.
Many persons think that there is cause for regret in the fact that literary societies are declining, but we do not think it is necessarily a bad sign. Students who join technical societies and in them a benefit which cannot be derived from literary societies, and every one interested in the University must be pleased at the growth of these technical societies,
But the question arises, what is the duty of fraternities in view of the fact that their existence is detrimental to the literary societies. Plainly it is their duty to furnish to their members the training of the literary societies. For it cannot be denied that to the general student this training is of great importance. It may be truthfully said that no student has ever acquired prominence as a writer or speaker, who was not an energetic worker in the literary societies. It may be urged that the objects of the fraternity are purely social, but if that be true, they make a mistake if they do not supplement their social culture with literary training, for it is to their own interest to do so. But it may be asked what is to be done for students who are neither members of technical or secret societies? For them the literary society exists, and it is obviously to their best interests to give it a good share of their attention and support.
The ceremonies attending the unveiling of the Bartholdi statue shows how friendly are the relations between France and America. The monument has been erected in remembrance of the ancient friendship between the two countries. The plan for such a statue was first made public in 1874, and in 1883 it was completed in Paris. In June, 1884, the statue was brought to America, and since then the work has been pushed forward as rapidly as possible to make ready for the unveiling on Oct. 28. Between the French and American people there has always existed kindred feelings and aspirations. Their sympathy aided us at a critical moment, while we have watched their progress with a friendly eye. Linked with the mamery of our own heroes, are others who came from France.
The gift of one great nation to another the statue of liberty, standing guard, as it were, at the portal of the Republic, will not only remind us of our friendly relation with France in the past, but will serve to strengthen the friendly relations we hope to continue in the future.
Phi Gamma Delta Convention. The annual convention of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity which was held on the 28th, 29th and 30th of last month, at Springfield, Ohio, was a great success in every respect. It was a representative assembly of picked men from thirty-two leading educational institutions of the United States, with a seasoning of older men, alumni who gladly renewed their college days with their younger brothers. The convention was held under the auspices of Sigma Chapter, Wittenberg college, of Springfield. The members of Sigma made every effort for the success of the convention, and the comfort, pleasure, and work of their visiting brethren. They were highly successful, for the convention and more work than has any other for years, and all was done harmoniously and carefully.
The convention deserves the name of "the working convention." The delegates were enthusiastic, energetic and well acquainted with the needs of the fraternity. Changes were made in the constitution and work on the order, new lines of progress were marked out, and the organization strengthened in many particulars. The fraternity was never in better condition. During the past year chapters have been placed at Ann Arbor, Michigan; Knox College, Illinois; Lehigh University, Pennsylvania; University of California; William Jewell college, Missouri; Adelbern college, Cleveland, Ohio; Denison University, Ohio; and alumni chapters have been formed at Chatanooga, Tennessee; and Philadelphia. These show the national progressive spirit of Phi Gamma Delta. On the subject of extension, the fraternity has always been considered conservative, but the great colleges and universities of the United States present a wide field.
The Phi Gamma Delta Quarterly, one of the best of fraternity publications, was again placed in the hands of Omega chapter, Columbia college, New York. It will be made even better than last year, when it was a model. The subscription price was raised and made compulsory upon all active members.
During the past year Phi Gamma Delta has made many improvements. Alpha Phi chapter, at Ann Arbor, is now occupying a chapter house, and a club house will soon be built in New York City for the use of the three chapters and many members in that city, and also as a place where all Phi Gams who visit the great metropolis can find friends and brotherly hospitality. All the chapters report bright prospects. With chapters in New York and California, Michigan and Texas, and in nearly all the leading colleges between those points, Phi Gamma Delta is entitled to the name of a great national fraternity. The active membership is much larger than ever before, and at every college where the fraternity is represented, there are worthy representatives of the grand old order.
At the urgent invitation and request
of the western chapters, the next convention will be held at Bloomington, Illinois, on the 26th, 27th, and 28th of next October, under the auspices of Alpha Deuteron chapter, at the Illinois Wesleyan.
This convention being held in Ohio, was attended by a large number of Chi Gams. There are seven chapters in the state of Ohio, all very prosperous. They have a state association and hold a state convention each May. The chapters in Indiana and Pennsylvania do likewise. The new Chi Gam song book, edited by W. C. Steir, of Latayette college, Easton, Pennsylvania, made its appearance in time for the convention. Work on the new catalogue is progressing vigorously and it was ordered that it be completed by the 1st of next March. In every direction the convention pushed out aggressively, and the fraternity will at once feel the stimulus of its actions. The work done will be seen soon in the steady advance of the order. The delegates laid aside state or college prejudice and labored only for the best interests of the fraternity they love, and the laurels of arumphant success will crown their efforts.
The following communication, sent to every college included in the Interstate Oratorical Association, explains itself. That the plan is a very desirable one, cannot be questioned. Let every college in this state send delegates to the next meeting of the State Oratorical Association, instructed to vote and work for the adoption of this amendment to the constitution of the Association:
To the Members of each Local College Association in the Nine States Composing the Inter-State Oratorical Association;
Your attention is asked to the following important matter: A plan has been offered by the present interstate secretary by which it is proposed to build up a LITERATURE OF COLLEGE ORATORY. Heretofore the orations have gone to the four winds and in a short time no trace of them can be found. It was thought that if the best of the orations each year could be collected, bound and preserved by each college in the Association, it would add to the character and efficiency of the work done, in the following ways:
1st. It would set up a standard of oratory upon which improvement could be made.
2nd. It would reward effort, by placing the work in a permanent and enduring form in the library.
3rd. It would add an attractive volume annually to the library.
4th. It would tend to prevent plagiarism,
A plan has been formulated by which each local college Association may receive annually, in uniform shapes, all the orations at the state and inter-state contests. The plan is as follows:
1. For the winning orator at each local college contest to furnish to the secretary of his state Association as many copies of his oration, when printed for the state contest, as there are local college Associations in the nine states.
2. The state secretaries of each state will then forward the orations so received to the state secretaries of the other states (reserving one for

3. The orators who represent the different states at the inter-state contest are then to furnish to the inter-state secretary sufficient copies on their final oration, so that each local Association may have a copy, and the inter-state secretary forwards to the different state secretaries.
4. When the copies of the state and inter-state orations are all in the hands of the state secretary of each state, it is his duty to forward a full set to each local college, and they can be bound for the library shelf.
5. In order that the different orations may be conveniently bound, it is necessary to print the pages of uniform size and type, and it is proposed to print in long primer type and make the page four inches wide and six inches long, with a margin of one and one-half inches wide.
To set this plan in motion, amendments to the inter-state constitution were introduced at Lawrence, Kansas, last May, making the necessary provisions, and they received the most hearty approval of every orator and delegate. The amendment specifying the size of page is as follows:
ART. VI., SEC. 4. The orations for the inter-state contest shall be printed by the state Associations according to the following uniform standard: They shall be set in long primer type, the body of each page being four (4) inches wide and six (6) inches long, with a margin one and one-half $(1\frac{1}{2})$ inches in width. Ninety copies of the oration shall contain the name and college of the author, and ten copies shall be printed with name and college omitted.
An amendment was also proposed at the Ohio state convention, making the same provisions in regard to the Ohio state orations, and was adopted. The same amendments have been also adopted by the Oberlin College Association. So this year the Oberlin College Association will be able, by the operation of laws already passed, to secure and preserve all of its own orations, the Ohio state orations and the inter-state. It is hoped and expected that the various state Associations and the local college Associations will at once adopt similar amendments, and it will then only require an exchange between the states to make it an annual arrangement and a permanent success.
Now it has been thought best to effect these changes this year and gather the orations even in advance of constitutional amendment. This circular will be sent to each local college Association, and if you will furnish your winning oration to the rest of the colleges, you will receive copies of all the others and we can start the first volume with this year.
Please notify your state secretary at once, that you will come into the arrangement. He will in turn inform the inter-state secretary, and you will then be notified as to the number required. It will not exceed seventy-five copies. I might add that after the necessary copies are printed for the use of the judges, it will only cost about two cents per copy to print the additional numbers. It will be understood that at a cost of only $1.50 to each local Association, you will receive a volume that shall contain the best fruits of the best ora-
torical skill of the colleges of nine of the best states in the union. Let us work together for the success of this project!
The careful study of the above will prove the strongest argument for the adoption of such a course. Hitherto its desirability has been merely agitated. Now comprehensive plans have been formed. Let us do our duty toward their fulfillment.
Ohio seems to have taken the lead in this beneficial project. May Illinois, who is ever well to the front in such matters, land next in line.

We are glad to see that some of our young lady students are so devoted to the woman's suffrage movement. Last Tuesday evening several of our brightest co-eds attended Miss Susan B. Anthony's address, and sat the whole evening on a plank, one end of which rested on a beer keg, the other on the floor. The address was held in the Usher Guard Armory. How's that, Riggs and Morris?

"Phi Gamma Psi' party this evening.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NOV.19, 1886.
A book agent was on the hill this week.
The work on the standpipe makes music the livelong day.
A "stag party" was held at the Nunney Tuesday evening.
This is the week of prayer for young men by the Y. M. C. A.
Some splendid photographs were taken last Monday of Snow Hall.
The halls have been very cold during the cold weather, and the library colder.
Prof. Marsh's classes met to-day and were taken charge of by Prof. Brownell.
The nuns at the nunnery have adopted colors, and will carry canes. Their colors are pink and blue.
Several Prof's are attending the meeting of the State Academy of Science being held at Emporia this week.
There is a new club on Tennessee street. Mrs. Turpin, of last years Hillside club, superintends it.
Quite a number of students were on the hill last Friday until late in the night, watching the meteoric shower.
We do not like to ask too much of the coming legislatare, but we wish to inform them that we are sadly in need of a gymnasium.
The scientific students are enjoying a vacation this week while the professors are at the Academy of Science at Emporia.
Baldwin has a lecture course supported by the students, and if we cannot support one we are not worthy the name of University students.
Thanksgiving turkey at home is very nice; but if you can't go home, be sure and do the next best thing and take in the Usher Guard ball.
Western Kansas is the place where Prof. Cope made his first geological studies some fifteen years ago. He says that western Kansas is the geologist's paradise.
If Prof. Branner ever visits the University of Kansas again to lecture we venture to say that, rain or shine, he will be greeted by a crowded house.
The Chancellor has had a driveway graded down the south side of the hill, just west of the chemistry building. He announces that that part of the campus will be given to any parties wishing to erect sheds for their horses to stand in during the bad weather. The only requirement is that they be of uniform size. For farther information on the subject, call on the Chancellor.
Prof. Cope delivered a lecture on geology to Prof. Snow's geology class Wednesday morning. Quite a number of other students were present. The lecture was very much enjoyed by all.
The engine does not seem large enough to heat the buildings so as to make them comfortable since Snow Hall has been added. Will we have to shiver while at the University all winter?
Any student wishing to secure tickets for the lecture course can do so at the clerk's office. Every person should take a ticket, for the plan will not succeed unless it is well patronized.
The second lecture in the course of musical lectures will be delivered in Oread hall next Wednesday at eleven o'clock, by Prof. MacDonald. People from the city are cordially invited to attend.
A hot war is being carried on by the two city dailies against each other. Keep cool, gentlemen; don't call names; and when you want an arbitrator don't be backward in calling on the great religious Weekly.
The game of ball last Friday between the Sophomore Greeks and the Sophomore Germans resulted in a victory for the Greeks, by a score of 12 to 7. Prof. Sterling played with the Greeks and Prof. Carruth with the Germans.
We respectfully invite the attention of the students to the new advertisement of J. M. Wood & Co. in this issue. This firm has always been the favorite of the students, and will continue as ever to supply groceries and provisions at the lowest prices.
Prof. Canfield's lectures have become so popular with the students that his lecture room will not hold them all. Last Thursday he delivered a lecture in the chapel in the third hour. It was well attended not only by his third hour class but by a great many other student.
Profs. Bailey, Nichols and Dyche, accompanied by W, S. Franklin, V, L. Kellogg, A. H. Plumb and Dick Short, went to Emporia Wednesday to attend the Academy of Science. The party was also accompanied by Prof. Branner. Franklin and Short took the large lantern with them to illustrate Prof. Branner's lecture with.
by most of the professors, songs were sung and a general good time was had. At a rather late hour the boys marched to the corner of Lee and Massachusetts streets, from whence they dispersed.
On the evening of the day in March 1885, when the news arrived from Topeka that the bill appropriating money for the erection of the natural history building had passed, nearly every male student of the University gathered at the foot of the hill, and forming a line two abreast, marched down Massachusetts street, blowing horns, beating tin cans, etc. They proceeded down Massachusetts street as far as Winthrop, thence to the residence of Prof. Snow. The professor being called out, he was hoisted on the shoulders of the four largest boys and carried to the Leis drug store corner, followed by the whole body of students. At this corner a platform had been built, and in the light of a large fire which was built of dry goods boxes, etc., a jollification was held. Speeches were made by many well known citizens of Lawrence and
All students who remain in the city next week should attend the Usher Guard ball on Thursday evening. The Guards are giving most delightful parties, and the students should attend as much as possible. All opportunities for strangers to meet the town boys should be embraced, as it tends to make the student's stay in the city pleasanter.
LECTURE COURSE.—There is a scheme on foot which should receive the support of every student of the University. It is the organization of a lecture course. A paper is now being circulated which is to be signed by those who will promise to take course tickets, and designating the number which will be taken by them in case the plan is carried out. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether or not enough tickets can be sold to put the course on a firm financial basis, and if such is the case, the lectures will be an established fact. No subscriber will be asked to pay anything or to take any tickets until the requisite number have promised to become patrons of the course. There will certainly be three, and possibly four lectures, in the course. Gen. Lew Wallace and Geo. R. Wendling, have already signified their willingness to make dates with the committee having this in charge, and Kate Field is expected to become a third lecturer. The price will be but one dollar for the full course—certainly cheap enough. The subscription paper will be circulated among the students, and every one should help along this matter by promising to take one or more tickets.
The first lecture in the course was delivered by Prof. Branner, of Indiana State University, last Tuesday evening at the close of the dedication exercises of Snow Hall. The First Regiment band opened the exercises of the evening by a very finely rendered medley. Prof. Nichols then introduced Prof. branner in a few well selected words, in a double capacity of closing the dedication exercises, and also beginning the lecture course of this year. The speaker was greeted with great applause, prefacing his lecture of "A Naturalist in Brazil," with a few remarks on his experience during his eight years residence in that country. For want of space we are obliged to omit the publication of the lecture this week, but hope to be able to do so next week. On account of the stormy night the audience was small, but those who heard it say that they would not have missed it for anything. It was unanimously pronounced one of the finest lectures that has been delivered at the University for a long time. The ceremonies were closed by the First Regiment band, by rendering the "British Patrol" in their usual elegant manner. They are highly praised for contributing their services for the dedication exercises.

The board of regents, in making up its estimate for the appropriations of the University for the coming two years, owes to our law department more attention than they have been according it. It is growing and gaining in influence over the state rapidlv.
Snow Hall. During the session of the Kansas state legislature of the winter of 1885, the sum af $50,000 was appropriated by them for the purpose of erecting a hall of natural history for the use of the Kansas State University. Though a liberal and generous gift to the University by the state of Kansas, nevertheless it was secured not without much work and care. Many erroneous ideas in regard to the use of
struction and for laboratory work in connection with the natural history collections, they became warm friends of the bill, and when it was further shown that there were thousands of specimens owned by the University, which, on account of the lack of room, were never able to be handled or examined by the students, and that thousands of dollars worth of specimens were in danger of total destruction by fire, the triumphant passage

the building were to be corrected; many doubts as to the necessity of a natural history building must be dispelled. Many members of the legislature were at first indifferent to the bill, or actively opposed it because they supposed that the entire appropriation was intended for the purpose of display. They could see no great advantage in a "show" building. But when it was explained that one-half the building was to be used for in of the bill was secured. To the regents, to the chancellor, to the faculty, to the students, to the friends of the University, both in the legislature and out, and lastly but not leastly, to the Courier, is due the honor of having secured the passage of the appropriation bill. During the agitation of this bill the Courier was sent to every member of the legislature, and to every state paper. As soon as possible after the appropriation, plans were prepared by Haskell & Wood, of Topeka, under the supervision of Prof. Snow, and were accepted by the regents. After several meetings of the board of regents, the present site, directly west of the main building, was agreed upon, and proposals for bids were solicited. The contract was awarded to McFarland & Son, of Lawrence, their price, $45,000, being the lowest bid received. In June 1885, active work was begun and carried on at a rapid pace. The building was so completed that during the last summer three rooms were able to be prepared for the classes beginning last September, and since September the other rooms have been made ready for classes or specimens.
The building is constructed of the white "Cottonwood stone," rock face, broken ashler style, with roof of slate and cornice of galvanized iron. The inside is fitted throughout in ash, there not being a drop of paint used in the building. In its architecture the building is modified and modernized from the Medieval form, belonging to the interval between the Renaissance and the English Gothic period.
There are two principal stories, each sixteen feet in height, together with a basement and an attic. The first story contains a lecture room, capable of seating two hundred and forty-six. It also contains two geological laboratories and a large exhibition room (38x88 ft.) for the geological museum. The second story contains five laboratories for elementary and advanced work in botany and zoology, including entomology and comparative anatomy, together with a spacious exhibition room of the same dimensions as the geological hall, for the collections of plants and animals.
In these two splendid exhibition halls, each flooded with light from seventeen ample windows, the varied and valuable material of the University cabinets, now scattered from basement to dome of the main building, will find an orderly arrangement and become for the first time available for the proper instruction of our students and of the general public.
In the smaller exhibition rooms galleries are so arranged as to exhibit to a good advantage the articles to be shown. The windows of not only the exhibition rooms, but also of the recitation rooms and laboratories, are remarkably large, giving an abundance of light and sunshine.
The main entrance is on the north side of the building. Here a portico has been built, of a peculiar style of architecture, yet of beauty and grandeur in accordance with the building. Another entrance is to the east, being most convenient to and from the main and chemistry buildings.
In the expenditure of the money appropriated for the erection of this building, every dollar has been put to the best possible use.
There has been erected a hall which for beauty, will equal any public or even private building in the state; which for convenience and adaptability, will surpass any public or college building in Kansas. Beauty, magnificence, solidity, grandeur!
Dedication of Snow Hair
It is a fitting testimonial of the gratitude of the people of Kansas towards that Little Giant for whom it is so grand a monument.
No poorer weather could have been than that given last Tuesday, on the day which was set apart for the dedication exercises of the natural history building. The weather which had been for several weeks so mild and pleasant, turned on Monday evening, and Tuesday opened with blustering north wind and a cold rain and drizzle, which continued throughout the entire day, making the streets well nigh impassable, and rendering the climbing of the hill a difficult task indeed. But for this drawback the day would undoubtedly have been the greatest day in the past history of the University, and as it was, the exercises were truly in accordance with the solemnity and worth of the occasion. The visiting guests and those who were to take part in the exercises were received in the chancellor's room, where an informal reception was held by them.
At half past ten the large gong wasung, summoning those assembled into the chapel of the main building. The audience about half filled the power floor of the hall. Upon the chapel rostrum were seated Gov. Martin, the chancellor, the regents, the speakers, the faculty, members of the legislature, prominent citizens of Lawrence and many well known men of the state. After an earnest and beautiful prayer by Rev. Page, of Leavenworth, Judge Otis was introduced by the chancellor as a member of the board of regents. Judge Otis spoke to some length upon the past history and the prospects of the University. He described its growth from infancy, from a mere nothing, to one of the greatest educational institutions of the United States. He described the University as it was when he was appointed as a member of the board of regents four years ago, when but one building existed. The question then arising was whether the University was to remain at a standstill, to be a common college for evermore, or whether it was to be extended and improved until it was for the great west what Michigan University was for the northwest. The state decided that it was to be, and since, that policy has been carried out in the management of the University. In 1883 the chemistry building was erected. The law department was strengthened. In 1885 the pharmacy department was established. The appropriation was made for a hall of natural history. This appropriation shows faith in the University. It is evidence of a desire to honor a professor who deserves to be honored. The appropriation was without limitation or restriction. As to the question of what was done with that appropriation, he will point to that magnificent building, Snow Hall. Mr. Otis then showed what their future course of action would be. It was their wish that more ladies would attend the University; the ladies now enjoyed all benefits. He called upon the friends of female education to help in the matter. A residence was wanted for the use of the chancellor of the University. No private corporation would allow twenty-four hours to elapse, its property valued at that of the University, without a superintendent of some kind in constant surveillance.
After the address of Regent Otis, the chancellor introduced Prof. Snow,

Regent Otis, and Prof. Snow,
who was to introduce Prof. Cope. Prof. Snow was received with great applause, it being several minutes before he was able to make himself heard. He thanked the audience for their kind greeting. He described the University as he found it twenty years ago, when he first was appointed professor. He thanked Gov. Robinson, who was on the rostrum, for having accomplished his appointment at that time, and thanked the board of regents of 1886 for appointing him to the chair of natural history instead of to that of Greek, as he desired. He described his letter of acceptance of the chair of natural history, in which letter he accepted the chair only on condition that as soon as a chair of Greek literature should be established he should have charge of it. After describing the methods by which the specimens had been collected, and thanking the students who had so faithfully assisted in this collection, he closed his short address by introducing Prof. E. D. Cope, with a short account of his work in natural history.
Prof. Cope is a very easy and graceful speaker. He speaks in an ordinary conversational tone, and directly to his hearers. Although speaking very rapidly, yet every word is articulated distinctly and freely. Throughout his long address he held the closest attention of every person in the audience. He spoke directly from notes, having no manuscript. We are sorry we cannot give his lecture, especially that in regard to evolution and materialism. Fowards the close of his lecture he gave many encouraging words to those who contemplate making the study of natural history a life work.
DEDICATION EXERCISES PROPER.
At the close of the address of Prof. Cope, the audience was invited by the chancellor and Regent Otis, to take part in the dedication exercises proper, which were to be held in the west room, first floor, of the new building.
A line was formed in the lower hall and the assembled guests marched from the northwest door across the campus to the building to be dedicated. Gov. Martin and Chancellor Lippincott led the line of march, then following was Prof. Snow, hoisted on the shoulders of four students, then followed the faculty, the guests and the students.
Arriving at the building, the company gathered in the hall designated. Prayer was offered up by Rev. Waters, of Topeka.
Gov. Martin being then introduced, made the following address, delivering the building to the regents and the University:
In the stirring poem read by our Kansas poet at the Quarter Centennial, it is said:
"States are not great, except as men may make them.
Men are not great, except they do and dare.
But states, like men, have destinies that take them—
That bear them on, not knowing why or where."
The wonderful growth and marvelous prosperity of Kansas, unprecedented in the history of the American States, is not alone due to soil, climate, resources and typography. Other states have soils as productive, climate as healthful, resources more varied, and landscapes as lovely as ours. The unexamplied development and prosperity of Kansas is the logical result of her splendid citizenship, and of the intellectual and moral forces this citizenship has set at work in every township in the state. Our
pioneer settlers laid the foundations of a school-house and a church by the side of their first rude homes, and from that day to this, the idea thus planted has grown and spread and flourished with the development of the commonwealth. The people of Kansas may have been parsimonious in some things, but they have never stinted their expenditures to provide for all the children of the state the most ample educational facilities.
A few days ago the oldest and most richly endowed college in this country celebrated the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its foundation. For more than two centuries Harvard has been the pride of the great state within whose borders it is located, and yet it has not received from Massachusetts as much money as the young state of Kansas has appropriated during the past twenty-five years to establish an support this University.
The Older generations of Kansas, however, hold a divided allegiance. They love and are proud of the state of their adoption, but memories of the fields and hills and streams of their birthplace are still singing in their hearts. The young men and women who come up to Mount Oread to be equipped for the battle of life, will be, as a rule, natives of the state, and attached to it by the undived ties of childhood's memories and the pride and faith of maturer years. Generation after generation of these sons and daughters of Kansas will be inspired within these walls, with higher aims, nobler motives and larger and broader views of human life and endeavor.
We meet to-day to formally celebrate another step in the growth and progress of the State University—to dedicate this beautiful building, the home for all future time, of the department of natural history. Very properly this building is to bear the name of the learned, devoted and enthusiastic teacher to whose energy, industry and zeal the state is indebted for treasures that are gathered within its walls. I discharge a very pleasant duty, gentlemen of the board of regents, when in the name of the state I commit to your keeping this stately edifice. See that the purpose of the legislature, in ordering it, is fully carried out. Study the needs of this great educational institution, and make them known. Strive to keep it, in all its departments, fully abreast with the growth and progress of the state. In this endeavor you can, I am confident, rely on the cordial and generous cooperation of the intelligent people of Kansas, and the hearty support of their chosen representatives to the legislature.
The chancellor, on behalf of the regents, accepted the building, as follows:
It is an extreme embarrassment, Mr. President, and the more so at so short notice, to stand in the place of one whose eloquent sentences are an ever fresh delight to all who are fortunate enough to hear him speak. At the last moment Mr. Peck telephoned me that it would be wholly impossible for him to be with us.
Small was the beginning, hopeful has been the progress, of that department of the University work which to-day receives such a distinguishing mark of the generous confidence of the state. Promising, too, is the future. It will be found, I doubt not, repaying the commonwealth a hundred fold for all it shall have received.
I believe we may go farther, and predict an equally brilliant future for every department of the University work. There is no jealousy here. Every professor is proud of the success achieved in the department of every other professor, taking the utmost progress of one as a measure of the final triumph of all.
We see before us what twenty years of devoted, patient, unselfish labor may accomplish. Fortunately for the University of Kansas, for the state and for science, this department has been in the hands of one man since its beginning in 1866, and that man has combined genius of no ordinary degree, with tireless, devoted labor; (applause) yet that which to-day is realized here, is but a beginning of what shall ultimately be accomplished here in the lines of natural history.
Speaking for the board of regents, you excellency, I accept the new building, which the state, speaking through you, presents to the University. Devoting and dedicating it to research in natural history
and to the instruction of our classes in the same field, we pledge our utm endeavor to make such use of it as that the object of the donation by the state shall be fully realized.
Resolved. On motion of the chancellor,
Hon. A. G. Ous in the chair, that the natural history building now in the course of erection, be named SNOW HALL OF NATURAL HISTORY, and that the secretary be authorized and directed to communicate this action to Professor Snow. (Great applause)
An extract from the minutes of a meeting of the board of regents held October 7, 1885, may with singular propriety be read in this presence:
Now, therefore, acting under the instruction of the board of regents of the University of Kansas, and by the authority vested in me as chancellor of the University and as president of the board, I declare that henceforth this building, generously presented by the state, shall be known as
SNOW HALL OF NATURAL HISTORY.
(Applause.)
Furthermore, in the name and by the authority of the board of regents, I do solemnly set apart and dedicate Snow Hall to the uses of the department of natural history as a part of the general work of the University of Kansas.
After the completion of Dr. Lippincott's acceptance of the building, Hon. T. A. McNeal, a member of the legislature from Barbour county, was called upon for a few words. He made one of his characteristic humorous speeches, which was well liked and well received by the audience.
Thus, at about one o'clock, was completed the dedication of Snow Hall.
The entire building was then thrown open and an invitation extended to everyone to examine and inspect the building and specimens. Most of the assembly availed themselves of this invitation.

Prof. Snow conducts a Physiology class which recites two hours in the afternoon, two days one week and three the next—thus making ten hours in two weeks.
W. W. Fluke & Son have just put up a new and attractive sign in the shape of a piano. It adds greatly to the appearance of this emporium of music.

"Pull down the blinds" was not on the program at the party in Frazer hall last night.—Saturday Morning Journal.
Is the above decency according to the Journal's understanding? It does not take much nerve to stand upon the street and gaze into the windows of the private rooms of a hall, but it takes a large amount of "gall" to gloat over the fact in a daily newspaper.
There was more loafing in the halls last Friday, than any day for a long time. Profs. Baily, Nichols, Williams, Dyche, and Sayre, and Franklin, were at Emporia, Prof. Robinson was sick, Prof. Marsh's classes were kept but a few minutes each, and Jenks' history class was dismissed early. As every student was compelled to come up the hill to attend chapel, and nearly everyone remained to get his Courier at the end of the fourth hour, one can imagine how many there necessarily would be who did not have anything to do.

Mrs. Kingley's Explanation.
We print this week a letter from Mrs. Geo. Kingsley, of Paola, who thinks that the report of her paper at Emporia.in our issue of November 12, does her injustice. We very gladly print her explanation, the more as we know that we reported correctly the general impression made by the address. We should be sorry to feel that a lady of Mrs. Kingsley's standing and intelligence occupied a position hostile to the University, and are glad to be assured that such is not the case.
Mrs. Kingsley is very ambitious for her sex, and doubtless felt disappointed to find it not better represented on the faculty and the board of regents. She also noted the fact of the apparent decrease in the attendance of women and in presenting these considerations she unintentionally laid the blame for these conditions upon the management of the University. Far from there being any tendency not to give the girls a fair chance, we assure the lady that more than once we as students have felt that it paid to be a girl when prizes and appointments were concerned, though from gallantry the boys never complain.
Considering their age, our alumna have done well compared with young women in other states. More of them are in High schools than Mrs. Kingsley thinks. The list in the University catalogue is incomplete, and, we believe, was made up several years ago. A few years ago one of our lady graduates took charge of the Beloit High school at an increased salary over her male predecessor, also a graduate, but now she is the queen of a home. Such things cannot be helped, and we are sure Mrs. Kingsley would be the last to regret them. It may be that the demand for educated queens of homes is greater in Kansas than in Michigan, or the supply less.
As to the faculty and regents, we would gladly see more women there, if fitter candidates be found, but we are sure Mrs. K. will agree that a failure in such a position would be a calamity for a woman, simply because it would furnish material for the ever plenty opponents of woman's advancement. Much better no woman, than a poor woman. Moreover we notice that Michigan, which we agree in looking upon as a model, has no women on the board of regents, nor even on the board of visitors, and that out of a faculty of fifty or more, there are only three ladies and these in the lowest positions. This doubtless should not be, but it shows that we are not so very much slower than Ann Arbor.
Still, we want more girls at the University and we hope Mrs.Kingsley will help to secure more. A girl's ball on top of the hill will be one means, and this can come soon. The other means is to stir up the State to the importance of educating girls, and to furnishing increased incentives to the girls in the way of wider opportunities and equal pay for equal work.
The decrease in the attendance of girls is largely only apparent. They were represented in the Normal Department and the lower classes, which have been cut off, in much larger proportion than the men, and this explains the apparent decrease.
PAOLA, NOV. 16, 1886.
EDITORS OF COURIER;
The Social Science Club and the University.
SIRS:—As you have reported my paper, read before the Social Science Club at Emporia, in your last week's issue, I would like to call your attention to several instances where you have misunderstood the reading. I made no assertion that there are no alumnae of the University teaching in the numerous high schools of the state. As you undoubtedly have the paper you are criticising, please give this point more careful consideration, and you will find there a point worthy of the attention of your faculty and students. "By consulting the catalogue" I found that the thirty high schools, where courses prepare for the University, have no women principals (who might be encouraging girls to study for entrance to the University). You seem to throw sarcasm on the fact that I consulted your catalogue for facts.
You say I am uninformed of the fact that you have "three excellent ladies" in your corps of instructors. That equivocation was unnecessary, as everyone in the state who is interested knows the history of women professors in the State University; and knows also that music teachers and teachers of art; while accomplished and "excellent;" have no connection with a collegiate department of any university.
Furthermore, I made no reference to "the one feminine representative on last commencement day. By another perusal of my paper you will easily appreciate the force of the point which you have garbled in your criticism.
The suggestion that I know but little of the theme on which I have written, is refuted by every position taken, all of which you know, and I know to be correct; and if you had reported my paper fairly, and with an appreciation of the fact that persons outside the University do know of its workings, and its progress you would have found expressed the keenest desire that the University of Kansas may stand on a summit where it will not be necessary to smooth over or evade any of the defects.
As you gave so much space in your last issue to the report of my paper; may I beg you, in the generous spirit of journalism to present this explanation to your readers. Very Respectfully
Very Respectfully, MRS. GEORGE KINGSLYY
Our Appropriations.
In a few short weeks our state legislature will assemble at Topeka, and the worthy board of regents of our school will ask for the usual appropriations for the University. It would be a boon to the COURIER, long to be rejoiced over, to see its pet plan of a certain tax levied as a perpetual fund for the current expenses of the University, thus freeing us from this regular bi-ennial campaign upon the legislature for the living demands of our institution. But from present indications this would be a too happy boon to be seriously expected from our young state for many years yet. We must face facts as they are. The current expenses of the institution for the two years to come must be secured. We hope there is now, from precedence sufficiently fixed, as one of the regular items of the appropriation bills to be granted, an approximate amount without contest. But our institution is fastly growing. The current expenses, as itemized by our board of regents this year, will probably considerably surpass that of two years ago. There will be other very necessary expenditures. The past year has been a very severe one on our state. A general cry will go up on the assembling of the legislature to curtail all appropriations. The interest of the University will have to be carefully looked after, or when our appropriation is finally passed it will be too much curtailed.
What is to be done? Let every young man and woman who to-day lives in the state of Kansas, who has graduated or attended for any time K. S. U., bring such influence as within them lies, for the next few weeks, upon such members of euther house of the legislature, in favor of University appropriations, as they can. Two years ago the COCHIER sounded the "toesin of war" on these appropriations, to the alumni and undergraduates of the University some weeks before the legislature met, and upon its assemblage a large number of the best working members of both houses came to Topeka ready to do good work for the University, as the direct result of these influences. We all owe any and all such effort as this to the institution which has done so much for us. Then for the next few weeks let us bring every influence possible to bear upon members of the legislature to this end.
The Courier pledges itself to doing all it can. Two years ago, beside the regular appropriation, the regents asked fifty thousand dollars for the grand building—Snow Hall—which last Tuesday was dedicated to the cause of higher education. At its own expense, the Courier, in the noble work, sent five hundred copies for thirteen successive weeks, to members of the legislature and the state press, printing an immense amount of extra matter setting forth the interests of the University in asking this appropriation. From the lips of members of both branches, we learned our efforts had not been wasted. Although we may not do that much this session, if occasion calls for it, the Courier will not be found wanting in any effort in the good cause.
With our generous friends of the State Normal at Emporia, we are this year on the best of terms, as we should continue to be. Instead of the nonsensical feeling of rivalry manifested two years ago, this year we hope all will be in peaceful accord. President Taylor has shown himself a broad minded educator, and is a warm friend of our institution. Both schools have their fields of labor. They each have an interest in the welfare of the other. Let both go before the legislature and mutually agree to assist each other.

Thanks for the kind words.
Kansas State Music Teachers' Association.
We have received the following:
LAWRENCE, KAN., Nov. 13, 1886.
TO THE EDITOR:
The officers of the Kansas State Music Teachers' Association beg leave to ask you to notice, in your next issue, that the second annual meeting of the Association will be held at Topeka, April 13, 14 and 15, 1887. Arrangements will be made whereby teachers can secure accommodations at reduced rates. An attractive and substantial program, consisting of papers, discussions and concerts, will be presented. Letters from all parts of the state already give indications of a large and enthusiastic attendance.
The complete program will be published early in January, and a copy mailed to each music teacher as far as possible in the state. It is earnestly hoped that all members of the musical profession, in whatever branch, may combine to make this meeting a great success.
Very truly yours,
Wm. MACDONALD,
President.
The city of Lawrence will have a damage suit on its hands if it doesn't repair some of the sidewalks in the southwestern part of town. There is one piece on Lee street, between Tennessee and Kentucky streets, that is in a horrible condition. It is almost useless and impassable, even in day time, and it is about worth a person's life to attempt to go down that street at night. And this street is frequented as much as almost any street in town. Let us see the matter attended to.
Many of our readers will remember the dapper and dudish little delegate of last year to the inter-State Collegiate Association from the state of Illinois—H. W. Denison, by name. Mr. Denison was prominent in the deliberations of the convention, and secured for himself the vice presidency of the Association. But judging from a recent issue of the College Rambler, he has had a fall. A personal in that magazine says: "H. W. Denison, of the Senior class, has by action of the faculty, been expelled from the college." The Rambler has nothing further to say on the subject, so that we are wholly unable to give any opinions as to the justness of the action of the faculty.
Another college journal, the Eclipse, is dead. It criticised us last year. Nearly all of our enemies are dead now. Even the University Courier, that died and rose again, is preparing to suffer a second death. Hillsdale Herald.
O, what egotism! When every paper capable of criticising the Hillsdale Herald is dead, what a dreary blank will college journalism be. If we are dying, we are a pretty lively invalid. But since the great Hillsdale Herald has prophesied our death, we suppose we will have to go. It is inevitable.
A great many of the half term studies have run over a couple of weeks. But for all this the Profs. should not crowd the students on their second half term studies.

"Phi Gamma Psi" Party.
The party given last Friday evening conjointly by the gentlemen of Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Kappa Psi was one of the grandest and most enjoyable ever given by the students of K. S. U. Recognized as are these two fraternities as being the leaders in the social world of the University, and known as it is that the social reputation of neither of the two has been obtained to the detriment of its class or University standing, joined together, they make a combination, which for social worth or otherwise, cannot be surpassed either in the University, or the city of Lawrence.
The party was held in the old Usher Guard armory, Frazer Hall. On the stage was stationed the First Regiment Band, which throughout the evening discoursed sweet music that those who loved to dance might indulge in this pastime. In one corner of the room were placed many card tables, around which, the whole evening were gathered those who delighted in this equally enjoyable but more quiet amusement.
W. A. Jackson, of Phi Gamma Delta and Solon Gilmore, of Phi Kappa Psi, acted the part of floor managers, and to say they acted their part well would be but slight praise.
At 9 o'clock was held the grand march led by Solon Gilmore and Mamie Lyons. In this march thirty-six couples were engaged.
At 11:30 an adjournment was held to Groscup's where the wants of the hungry were satisfied.
At a late hour the company sepa rated, hoping that the two fraternities may often commemorate the friendship they bear towards each other by such delightful gatherings.
Those present were May Webster, Kate Wilder, Mamie Lyons, Mamie Tisdale, Ollie Thompson, Mildred Pickard, Agnes Wright, Clara Poehler, Belle Roberts, Lizzie Wilder, Nellie Griffith, Gussie Price, May Page, Birdie Atwood, Lena Beard, Miss Love, Emma White, Jo Gilmore, Miss McLean, Eva Miles, Alice Penfield, Jean Anderson, Maud Mansfield, Etta Hadley, Daisy Clendinen, Alice Pettee, Emma Bartell, Emma Hynes, Lyle Hynes, Jo Hutchings, Lillie McMillan, Hattie McCague, Luella Moore, Lillie Turner, Gertrude Crotty; ; Messrs. Blair, Fearl, Gilmore, Crowell, Little, Gilbert, Crane, Nickle, Deford, Postlethwaite, Morgan, Hutchings, Taylor, Billings, Jackson, Swope, Brewster, Dunn, White, Curdy, Higinbotham, Prescott, Jenks, Hogeboom, Allen, Riggs, Miller, Hayden, Horton, Lyons, Will Smith, of Topeka, Joseph Rank, of Atchison, Caldwell, Stevenson, of Leavenworth, Bullene, and Henry Spangler and wife.
The west room on the third floor of Snow hall is large and airy and though it is not finished it would make a fine gymnasium. This room could be fitted up at only small expense and we ask the regents to request an appropriation of the coming legislature for this purpose.
The Courier has changed offices. Those who wish to cuss us or to bring us a "yaller legged chicken" will find us in the McCullough block on the second floor.

Under the laws of the Illinois State University, students are prohibited from forming or becoming actively engaged in any secret society while in attendance at the University.
Mr. Charles Butler has lately been elected president of the college of the city of New York made vacant by the resignation of Mt. John Taylor Johnston. The university has 800 students this year.
A man named Dwight has been elected president of Yale College. He is said to be a man of considerable ability, but strange as it may seem, he is almost entirely unknown in sporting circles.—Chicago News.
We have received the first number of the Miami Journal, which foretells bright prospects for this paper. Its most interesting feature is the letters containing interesting items from eastern colleges.
The Washington-Jeffersonian copies Mr. Blaine's speech in full delivered at the reception lately given to him by the students of Washington-and-Jefferson College. The trustees and students of that institution are now disputing who ought to pay the expenses of the reception.
From our Cornell exchanges we learn that Cornell University has taken another step for the better and has declared that attendance upon recitations and lectures will no longer be required. By doing this they recognize that a student knows enough to attend recitation without being required to do so, as little children in our Kindergartens are. We hope all of our colleges will speedily follow Cornell's example.
Base ball has been introduced into Japan, and is now rapidly becoming a popular outdoor sport. The Japs,however, have not got ten the game down to quite such a scientific point as the Americans. Some time since a game was played between a Japanese club and a team of the American clerks, in which considerable amusement was afforded to those who witnessed it by one of the Yankees running out of the line of base, and the entire Japanese nine joining in hot pursuit and chasing him into a rice field, where they triumphantly put him out.-Ex.

EDITOR COURIER: How highly delighted and appreciated the students in chapel would be if some morning some brave student would speak something humorous and interesting. We could imagine and believe truly that such a student would receive more congratulations and his oration remain longer in the minds of the students than if he spoke the orations inflicted upon us at the present with the delivery of——or——. We hear in the morning an oration commencing "sink or swim" ending up the same and with about the identical sameness between the first and end and we wander off to our classes with an air very near identical to a large question mark and ponder over the every day work of the University. Of course we don't want every one to get funny in their chapel speeches for every morning in every week in every month, but we do want a variety. There can be no doubt that such speaking will be just as profitable as heretofore and will in all probabilities solve the question of small attendance in chapel services. In our dedication exercises on Tuesday, one of our honored visitors, a man of well known fame, and a highly interesting speaker, proved that his humorous speech was well taken. It is so everywhere. In the Legislative balls and any place where public speaking is held. We know to well,that spicy, humorous and well written debates are quite as affective as a sober and ancient speech, falling out on an uninterested and miserable audience. Let us have an awakening and we will carry the first student that makes such a speech to every class for time to come.
Fraternity strife has never been less bitter than it is at the present time. This is a good thing, and we hope it may continue. There is plenty of room, and good men enough for all.
