The Senior Prep. German class has dropped the grammar, and is reading German fables. Some excellent photographs of Snow Hall can be had at the Clerk's office. Fifty cents each. The electric bells have been fixed so that the clerk can call up the guide in any part of the building. Prof. Snow removed his last case of natural history specimens to the new building during Thanksgiving vacation. The Sophomore surveying took their examination Monday. They have taken English for the rest of the term. There was an unusually large number of students at chapel Wednesday morning to hear the Franklin-Jenks debate. The Sophomore Rhetoric class, which has heretofore recited third hour on Fridays, will hereafter recite the fourth hour same day. A family in Santa Fe, N. M., want a well-educated young lady as governess. Application can be made to Olin Templin. The regents forgot one thing in heir report, and that was to mention the need of a gymnasium, and ask an appropriation for it. A bible class will be organized on next Sunday morning in the "Unity Club" room, at the Unitarian church at 10 o'clock, a. m., on the basis of searching the scriptures to find what they really teach, without first having accepted them as infallible. Time and place of future meetings to be determined by the class. All those interested in the broad study of the bible are invited to join the class. It is said that when a few neighbors went to Prof. Robinson's house, during his recent illness to inquire after his health, to offer help and services, and to see him if possible, they found that he had gone down town to make arrangements for a hunt during the vacation. Everybody came back feeling good. We wonder how many good motherly ladies have applied for the situation of preceptress for "our girls." A party of young ladies living in West Lawrence, have organized an omnibus party and now ride to school every morning in one of the city 'busses. The party will continue until next spring. Prof. Snow has the skull of the missing link. It was procured by Prof. Dyche, at Emporia, from Mr. Mead, of Wichita. Mr. Mead found it in New Mexico. Its facial angle is about 45 degrees. Prof. Snow estimates that the man who owned the skull lived, loved, hated and died about 1,000 years ago. It is not generally known that a township line runs through the Main building, dividing it into almost equal parts. Thus the University is so large that classes are compelled to recite in two different townships, and in passing from one recitation room to another, a student is forced to go clear over to another township. When the Chancellor drives you from the north end of the hall to the library, neither the Chancellor nor the student hardly realizes what a journey it will necessarily be. We have often heard a young lady, whose voice could scarcely be neared in the class room, standing in one township, call a mate who is somewhere away over in another township, and yet be hardly conscious of the effort. --- EDITOR COURIER:—There seems to be a great deal of discontent among the students of the University and especially those of the Modern Literature and Classic courses, on account of the lack of standard text books in these departments. In the Greek department of our library the students have been without the convenience and the very essential use of a dictionary for the past month. The only one in the library being at present in Topeka for the purpose binding. It is almost necessary that at least a Liddell and Scott's and a Pickering's dictionary should be on our shelves for the reference of students while at the University. There is also great need of a German dictionary, the present one being in a state of delapidation, with half of the leaves missing. And on one occasion while we were in need of a book on popular quotations, we were surprised to find on inquiring that no such volume was on the shelves. These are a few of the many remedies which are needed in our library, which undoubtedly have been over looked by our able librarian. Hoping that these few inconveniences will be soon alleviated, we are sure that it will receive the thanks and will be a source of comfort to the student in the various departments referred to. "CLASSIC." The following is a brief summary of the Regents' Report to Gov. Martin. We will publish more of it at future dates. We are under obligations to the Evening Tribune for this summary: Regents' Report. The institution as they think, continues in a most prosperous condition. It is rapidly winning its way to the confidence of the people of the state. It is honorably recognized by educators, and by friends of education living beyond our boundaries. THE REGENTS' REPORT. In the past two years, Snow Hall of Natural History has been built at a cost of $50,000. The Department of Music (self-sustaining) has been firmly established, and the Department of Pharmacy has been organized. Among the things recommended is the immediate repair of the main building with the view especially of re-enforcing the basement walls. For safety, for protection of the property, for purposes of more perfect ventilation and warming, the entire basement should be overhauled and re-constructed. Some time since, this Board appointed a commission of architects to make a careful survey and report to us the condition of the building with recommendations as to repairs and improvements and estimates of cost. In the estimates which we submit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1886, is an item: "For repairs of Main building, $18,000." This item is based upon the recommendations and estimates of the commission of architects. The importance of this work cannot in our judgment be over estimated. If it be longer deferred, the cost will undoubtedly be increased. A due regard for safety and economy, a jealous care of the property of the State intrusted to us, a desire to further the best interests of the University, all conspire to urge the placing of the means at our disposal to begin these repairs immediately after the next Commencement. The engine and boiler house should be removed to the south line of the University property, over the brow of the hill for the following reasons: (1.) That the capacity of the present apparatus is insufficient for the additional buildings; (2.) That the cost of enlargement in the present location (which in fact is scarcely possible) would materially contribute to the removal; (3.) That the present location was plainly selected as only temporary; and (4.) That it will be almost impossible to warm Snow Hall with the boilers at their present level. The request made in the last report for a Chancellor's residence on the University grounds is repeated. The regents regret that there are only three ladies in the present faculty, and advise the employment of a suitable lady as preceptress, part of whose time might be employed in class-room work, the rest being available for such consultation, advice, and oversight of the young ladies as might be found needful in a co-educational institution. Apparatus is needed for electrical engineering. The following estimates of appropriations needed have been prepared and will be submitted to the Legislature. ESTIMATES FOR YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1888.

State Oratorical Association. Delegates from the colleges represented in the State Oratorical Association, met last Saturday morning in the parlors of the Windsor hotel at Topeka, for the purpose of selecting judges for the contest, which will take place at Ottawa, Feb. 12th. The Normal School was represented by L. Kiene; Ottawa University, by F. A. Wright; Presbyterian college, of Emporia, by F. A. Craise; Washburn college, by E. G. Buchland; and the State University, by H. E. Valentine. Baker University sent no delegate. The judges and alternates, provided there be no protests filed by the college associations are as follows: Judges, Thos. A. Osborn, Rhudeloph Hatfield, and Albert Griffin; Alternates, J. B. Johnson, David Marten, Judge H. C. Sluss, Judge Benson, J. W. Redden, T. T. Taylor, J. R Hallowell, and Edward Wilder. We wonder how many preps that were so home-sick last fall, are counting the days when they will go back to their Mamas, and get their stockings filled with gum drops. Subscribe for the COURIER.

THE COURIER is in favor of the city of Lawrence granting the wishes of the contractors of the waterworks. We believe that the contract was made by mistake, and that it would be an injustice to hold the contractors to the bargain. It is not considered honorable in an individual, who has, by some manner or some mistake, obtained a signature to a contract which gives to him a power or an advantage never intended, to hold the signer to the strict letter of the contract, perhaps to his bankruptcy, and it should not be considered honorable for a city to do the same, nor indeed, should the code of honesty allow a city to do any act which would be denied to a private citizen. It is about time the directors of the oratorical association arrange for the local contest. It should be held in December. About the Preceptress. In this week's issue of the Courier, is a summary of the Regents' report, and the recommendations made by them in the way of appropriations. One appropriation which is to be asked for, that of $1,600 for a preceptress, has created much unfavorable comment among the students, and we might say that understood as they understand it, the measure has the opposition of nearly the whole body of students. We have taken pains to make inquiry of the proper authorities upon the points of the case, and here present their interpretation. We think their interpretation is very different from that which the students have made. The Regents do not have in mind a system of repression or coercion; nor that the liberal policy towards the girls that has characterized the history of the University from the first, is to give place to a system of espionage. Such methods have always failed and the University of Kansas will assuredly furnish no exception. It will be the addition of another lady to the faculty. We understand that she is to come as full professor. In scholarship and character and refinement, she will not fall below those who already have place in the faculty of the University. Such a professor shall be found with something of the qualities which characterize the queenly president or Wellesly college, whom the young ladies almost worship. She will be a professor with time for "consultation and advice." Her advice, however, must be sought by the young ladies, and not thrust upon them. At the last annual convention of the general association of the Congregational church, of Nebraska, Chancellor T. J. Monatt, "a most eminent churchman, and educator," proposed among other minutes, the following which was adopted by the convention: "In the higher education, we hold that concentration is the necessary law. The multiplication of colleges out of all proportion to the provision for secondary, and the demand for higher education, violates every principle of economy, and tends inevitably to the degradation of college standards, and degrees. The fact that young Nebraska, with but a traction on her sod turned over, has now over three times as many colleges as old Connecticut, nine times as many as New Hampshire, must convince the way-taring man that it is high time to call a halt." "That the founding of new colleges is unwise and inexpedient." "That the best interests of education would be promoted by such concert of action on the part of the University and other colleges as to secure substantial uniformity in standards and degrees." Is it not about time for other church and educational conventions of Kansas, to adopt resolutions of the same tenor as the above? Does not everything contained in the foregoing minutes apply to the state of Kansas with much too great a force? Is not the educational as well as wayfaring man of Kansas convinced that it is high time to call a halt in regard to the founding of new colleges in the state? Every little while we hear of some new college or university founded in this state, even if the stato does contain at Do not the founders of these schools realize that our state cannot support at present, nor will be able to support for many years to come, but a very limited number of colleges, and that every new one tends but to retard and hinder the growth and prosperity of those already established. Can it not plainly be seen that only by a concentration of our educational force and energy in a few well-endowed Colleges, and Universities, can there be any great institutions o' learning built up in Kansas? There are many "colleges" and "Universities" scattered throughout Kansas, whose graduates would scarcely be able to pass a creditable examination into the Sophomore class of K. S. U., yet these same institutions confer degrees of all kinds, with an openhandedness and liberality and freedom, which is scarcely equalled by the greatest colleges of the world. It has come to pass, that there is little or no honor in the ownership of a degree, since every county high school and academy are engaged in manufacturing an unlimited amount. HARVARD COLLEGE has just been celebrating its 250th anniversary. At the 200th anniversary in 1830, the following Latin ode was sung to the tune of Yankee Doodle. 1. was read by Prof. J. H. Carsuth : HARVARD COLLEGE has just been celebrating its 250th anniversary Qui alicujus gradus laurea dona Alumni spectatissimi, Saliete, qui adestis. Nunic fite gratulandum est, Nec abstinendum joco; Peractis, binis saeculis, Desipitur in loco. CHORUS, Nunc rite, &e.

Hic hodie conveniunt Novissimi nepotes, Preisare manus juvat nunc, Post annos, heu ! veloces, Et bene notas iterum Audire et dare voces. Chorus, nune rite, &c.

Dum artibus ingenuis Tyrones imbuintur; Dum fides, dumque probitas In laudibus feruntur;, Cantanda semper omnibus, Insignis Alma Mater. CHORUS, Nunc rite, &c. Dum vox et aura daturi Vigesat atque valcat FRIENDS of the University must be pleased with the excellent condition of our law department. Never in its history have the classes been as large as those of the present year. The laws, themselves, are doing a great deal to give prominence to the department. They propose in the near future to have a joint debate between the two classes. A good idea. Let it be carried out. VERY naturally, people who contemplate sending their sons to the Kansas State University, inquire about how the students conduct themselves, and the condition of the morals of the young men, and it is right that they should, and be correctly informed. We are not naiware that many people are satisfied that young men cannot be allowed the liberties that are allowed here and remain upright. They near of little things which happen we magnified and distorted until it is quite easy for them to believe, as is sometimes accused, that the University is a "bot-bed of immorality and vice." It is easy for them to believe that; because it is an accordance with their views concerning an institution which allows such freedom; and they are quite willing to accept it and even intensify it, as proof of the correctness of their views. In addition, though a pity it is, it is here that representatives of other institutions of the "stricter" kind, of the State, have lyingly slandered the University in this respect. We had something of this feeling when we entered ourselves, and our parents very carefully charged us to be a "good boy" and now from four years of experience and insight into the "ins and outs" on the school it can safely be put down; that it is just as easy to be a "good boy" at Lawrence as at home; that there is no more, if not less, dissipation indulged in by our boys than of those of any other college in the State, and this is the observation of students who are familiar with the other schools; that a premium is set on virtue and vice discouraged by the students themselves. Of the vices common to young men, nothing is known, if they are indulged in at all; and our observation is extended to all classes of students. Gambling is really an unheard of thing, though most to be expected. An intoxicated student is rare; though it is possible, out difficult, to obtain liquor in the city; but it is no more than can be charged against the other institutions. That work and duty is not neglected, is proved by the remarkably good character of the work done at school, which surpassed that done by our rivals. That society affairs are given more attention here, is true, but we regard that in most cases, as elevating rather than demoralizing; for it is our privilege to enter the homes of the best people of Lawrence and mingle with their sons and daughters, if we desire to conduct ourselves properly; and the same rules govern society here that do elsewhere, thus including gentlemanly deportment. This excellent state of affairs is largely due to the fact, that the majority of our students are boys from the country, boys who are unacquainted and uninclined to vices, who come to school to work, who appreciate the value of an education, and, on the principle, that a boy who leads his class benefits his class more than he does himself, by setting a height to be attained, these country lads shape the morals of the University, by presenting many examples of nobleness of character. COLLEGE WORLD. The Dartmouth contains an article headed, "Truice Told Tales." Why not say "Chestnuts" and be done with it. Samuel Johnson, of Chicago, bequeathed Harvard College the sum of $10,000 for a gateway to the main entrance to the college campus. A Mississippi college paper carries the following motto: "Non nobis solum noti sumus ortusqus nostri partem patria vindicat partem amici." We would caution the editor to wrap it up in flannel and keep near the stove during the coming winter or his motto will get frost bitten and warp out of shape. The Pacific Pharos is, by all means, the best paper that comes to our table. While the covers look like a patent medicine circular, they enclose more than ordinary college ability. If several more pretendible college sheets would contain less rot and conventionality, and more sense, the weary waste of college journalism would be more enjoyable. The first pleasant thing the weary eye of the exchange editor meets in looking over his dreary pile of exchanges, is the dainty pink cover of the Hamilton (Ky.) Monthly, published by the sweet girl students of that place. Of course its locals are somewhat giddy, and its editorials a little pompous, but it possesses merit all the same, and it is a relief to get hold of it. In one of our best exchanges we notice the following: "Coming from a paper which has the largest college journal circulation in the United States, such words of praise as we have received from the Weekly University Courier are very pleasant and gratifying. We shall try to be worthy of all the good things which have been said of us." By the way, what has become of that Crust! Would you object to giving us a nibble? With pleasure, we place on our exchange list the WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER, from Lawrence, Kansas. Our first impressions are good, though, if we will be pardoned for a little criticism, we should like its appearance better, if the Locals and personales were on the inside and the solid matter out. The Courier is quite Western.- S. C. Collegian- Thanks very much for your first impressions. We hope that as you become better acquainted with the Courier that this impression will only change for the better. There is a little sheet, scarcely larger than a postage stamp, published at the Lincoln, Nebraska, grammar school, sailing under the name of the Hesperian. Its existence is scarcely known except by the few feeble-minded persons who scribble for its columns, and the blacksmith who prints it. Yet this infant wonder contains the following article: "The K. S. U. students publish six journals. We do most sincerely hope they are not all like the WEEKLY COURIER." Now, young fellow, all we have to say, is, if you don't like our gate don't swing on it. Cut us off your exchange list, and your loss will be our gain. --g and an and thi che pan ing abo so, adv sto pre flot anly C. for dur for nex mo bri bri Th to sum anc way of gent's furnishing goods of the best quality at the lowest price.

Now, e to say, is, gate don't off your ex-oss will be Our tents were arranged in an ingenious circle around an open and level court. In the center of this space was built every night: a cheerful camp-fire, about which the party gathered and spent the evening in conversation and letter-reading—for we received mail daily at about 8 p.m. At the camp-fire, also, we heard recounted the day's adventures, or perhaps a "fish" story, by our professional angler, Prof. N., or on account of a new flower found by Prof. B——y, or an original fairy tale by Little Dolly C., and hosts of stories by Prof. C. around the fire. While the bread for to-morrow, was baking in the Dutch ovens, were made the plans for the next sight-seeing tramp, the next botanical excursion, the next mountain ascent, the next bear hunt; or the Jaynawkers would bring out a can of genuine spruce gum and "set'em up to the crowd." Then would ensue a noise similar to that heard on the farm when the sun is sinking to rest in the west and the pigs are being fed. On arising in the morning, the first thing after a bracing wash in water at 40 degrees, F., was the preparation of breakfast. The breakfast hour varied according to circumstances. If a long tramp was to be taken, and an early start desired, breakfast was accordingly early. After breakfast the party indulged in their own sweet will. Lunch in the middle of the day—supper about six o'clock. This was the daily routine broken only by the numerous trips which required that food be carried along On Sunday, at 11 o'clock, we had religious exercises, perched about on great boulders. We listened to the reading of the Episcopal service to the continuous accompaniment of our organ—the tumbling mountain stream near at hand. Monday was our wash-day. One was constrained to laugh to see dignified Prof. C. moving across the camp court, with a bucket of water in each hand, and a wash-board neatly balanced on his head—now he puts tub and washboard in correct adjustment, gets things in reach, and with a wild yell, grabs a dirty shirt, dashes it into the tub, and pumps up and down as if running a hand car against time. One could imagine him humming Eugene Ware's beautiful little song, "The Washer-woman's Friend." In one party were artists, botanists, zo-ologians, photographers, hunters, anglers and writers. Yes, we had among us some individuals who have dared to reveal to the public some of the secrets of our camp life, but we hasten to disown that audacious individual, "Tourist," who pretends to write a letter from our camp, said letter being published in the Review. Especially do we regret his unhappy allusion to the beer episode, but now that it has been mentioned, for the sake of the driver's reputation, I must say that grave doubts were expressed as to whether or not, the driver was the only one guilty of imbibing that Anheuser. And these doubts were confirmed by the high state of ecstacy, and the peculiarly eccentric and "nobby" walk of Prof. C. and B—t, that evening, and most sorrowfully do I recall the painfully familiar manner used by B—t, in addressing one of the sedate Profs., in requesting him to assist in removing a sack of flour from the store wagon, his words being, "Hey there, old chummy, (hie) catch on to this flour, will you?" And also, do I remember his wild hilarity on allowing a ten gallon keg of molasses to drop and burst, thereby permitting the liquid to saturate several sacks of our Extra Patent flour. Yet it is fair to say that both Prof. C. and B—t indignantly deny getting away with any of the liquor. And I must also resent the slurs cast by "Tourist" on the bravery of our sportsmen with reference to hunting large game. Have I not seen Prof. C. (with two little boys along to gather up the spoils) roaming through a forest said to be inhabited by ferocious beasts with that well-known cat-like and stealthy tread of his, lightly moving over the fallen leaves and twigs, making no more noise than would a Kansas zephyr, playfully engaged in demolishing some fated village? And may I not refer him to Prof. B——y and a Jayhawker meeting a Cinnamon bear? Would they not now have his beautiful robe, if it had not been for the carelessness of Bruin, in moving from the spot while B——y and the Jayhawker, went after re-inforcements? Oh we were a brave crowd, several of the ladies even becoming acquainted with the use of fire-arms to be prepared for any emergency. But more anon. JAYHAWKER. The Academy of Science was brought to a close Friday evening by a banquet held at the Normal School. The banquet was a success every way, and was a fitting end to one of the most interesting and encouraging sessions which the Academy has ever held. Among those present, from K. S. U., who presented papers, were Profs. Nichols, Baily, and Sayre, and Messrs. W. S. Franklin, E. C. Franklin, and L. L. Dyche. On Thursday evening, Prof. Branner delivered a Lecture on "Geologists, Professional and Non-professional." The lecture proved rather dull to the unprofessional ear, and did not elicit much attention. The most interesting and instructive of all the talks during the session was that upon the "Sky," given by Prof. E. L. Nichols, of the University.

How do you like the change in the holidays? The mock senate is developing great men very fast. Our exchange editor is getting to be quite a humorist. The water pipe is being laid up the hill on Adams street. There will be a short dramatic entertainment at the Unity Club this evening. Attend the meeting of your literary society this afternoon as it is the last chance this year. The Tribune of Wednesday evening hit the Journal's musical critic a pretty hard lick. The first musical concert of the season will be given Tuesday evening in University hall. The State Musical Association will hold its annual meeting at Topeca next month. Look at Abe Levy's special ad for young ladies in this weeks' issue If the Regents will not give us a gymnasium the students ought to form an association and furnish one themselves. Several people from the city came up to the University Thursday to hear Mrs. Prof. Carruth's art lecture. The work on the stand pipe makes a din which is almost deafening to those who live anywhere near the place of its location. The street cars now leave the foot of the hill at 1:15, thus enabling students who reside on the north side to ride home. The contractors intend to have the stand pipe completed inside of twenty days. It is to be one hundred and four feet high. It is said that Hon. Geo. R. Peck adds annually to his private library four times the number of volumes the State does to the University library. The students don't seem to have any views this year. At least they don't express them in the columns of the COURTER. Why is this? Invitations are out to the party to be given by the gentlemen of Phi Gamma Delta on the evening of December 16, in commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the chapter in K. S. U. The Senators in the moot senate hold a caucus this afternoon to take action in regard to several bills that will come up to-morrow for consideration. The bible class for literary study of the scriptures will meet for the purpose of full organization on Sunday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. rooms at 3 o'clock. Most of the natural history specimens are in place in Snow hall. There are a few large specimens yet to be mounted, which will occupy the center of the zo-ological hall. The Pharmacy students have formed a pharmaceutical organization for the further advancement of the science of pharmacy. The drug firm of Park, Davis & Co. have promised them substantial aid. The west room in the third story of Snow hall will make an admirable gymnasium. It could be fitted up at but little expense too. We would like to have the Regents read this paragraph and think of this. While in Germany Prof. Carruth purchased a great many German pictures. In this collection are several very fine pictures representing scenes in "Faust," which are on exhibition in his room and are being studied by the Sophomore German class. The University was exceedingly well represented at the opera house last Saturday evening at the rendition of "Faust" by Emma Abbott. The students appreciate a good opera or drama, and the management of the opera house need never fear but that such kind will be well patronized by the students. The statement in last week's Courier that the Junior and Senior laws would have a contest in the near future was made too soon. The Seniors would not accept the challenge of the Juniors. The reason seems to be that they were afraid of the Juniors, for they have a very strong class this year. There has been over 300 books added to the University library this year. But very few of these books have been purchased by the State. The Junior class are trying to arouse the Regents to the necessity of purchasing more books. Thursday the Junior class started a petition requesting the Regents to ask this Legislature for an appropriation for the library. Mrs. Prof. Carruth lectured on "Some glimpses of German Art" Thursday, at the second hour in the art rooms. The lecture was well attended, the room being crowded to its utmost capacity. She passed around photographs of most of all of the celebrated German paintings and with her description of them the audience could almost imagine the paintings before their eyes. The order of things have been changed in regard to the dismissal of school for the holidays. At the last meeting of the faculty they passed the rule that school would be out the Friday before Christmas instead of the Wednesday before as the catalogue states, and that the holidays close the Monday after New Years instead of the Wednesday as heretofore. The faculty believe that under this plan more students will remain till the last day of school and will also be here the first day. Ask Antrobus about his turkey dinner. Prof. Gluee was down the first of the week. Ask Dent Dunn who the coming orator is. Emma White visited K. S. U yesterday. Miss Mary Woodward is frequently seen in the halls.

Canfield has been giving a series of French readings in the south room, second floor, from 8 to 9, a. m. Henry Spangler is conducting Prof. Summerfield's law class, while the latter is attending to his duties as clerk of the district court. Will Spencer visited old scenes Wednesday. He is at present in the employ of the civil engineering department of the Santa Fe railroad. Claude Highbargin has recovered from a severe attack of malarial fever. Kate Cummings left us yesterday for her home, to remain until after vacation. Emma Abbott visited the University last Saturday. She had quite an extended conversation with Eames, the guide, in which conversation, she said that she had often heard of the Kansas University during her tours through the United States, but that she was more than surprised and pleased with the immensity of the University. She expressed a desire to meet all the Profs., and said she would always visit the University hereafter, when she was in Lawrence. The Lecture Course. The committee who have the matter of the proposed Lecture Course in hand are pleased to announce that the enterprise has been received with favor by our citizens generally. A partial canvas of the city has been made, and enough advance pledges have been secured to warrant me in saying that the course will be given. The lecturers selected, are the very best that were available from the long list of the "Redpath Lyceum Bureau." They are in demand all over the country, making it impossible to secure them for any early dates. The first lecture of the course will be delivered by Gen. Lew Wallace about the middle of January, followed by Hon. Geo.R. Wendling in February and Kate Field about the first of March. Full information will be given in a few days. The canvass already commenced will be prosecuted vigorously so that the financial success of the project may be assured beyond a doubt. The price of season tickets, admitting to the three lectures, will be $1.00. Tickets will be issued the first week in January, at which times subscribers will be expected to make their pledges good. The lectures will be delivered at Plymouth church. THOMAS F. NORRIS For Committee. The contest between the Orca and Orophilian literary societie has been postponed till after Christ mas on account of the Orcads having no essayist. It will probably take place the first week after the holidays. COLLEGE WORLD. The following little item has been booming along in the college papers for the last six or seven months. "The number of graduates at West Point last spring was 86." It has done good service. Why not place it on the retired list? The Wesleyan (Ill.) Bev has suspended publication on account of the suspension of its editor, W.L. Miller from Wesleyan University. The Bev was a fair paper and was far ahead of the institution it represented, but the faculty in their intense desire to have some excuse to offer for the drawing of their salaries, because Mr. Miller did not comply with certain un reasonable demands of theirs, could think of nothing better than to suspend him. The Bev was a splendid ad. for the college, and the faculty have done as many people in this world have done and will continue to do—they have cut off their nose to spite their face. A lady very skillful as a teacher of gymnastics has been engaged to instruct the young ladies in that art. Col. University Hesperus. Many of our eastern exchanges published in the shadow of Bunker Hill monument where a whiff of the dreyma fragrance of the Boston baked bean and "culchaw" is occasionally wafted into the office, are in the habit of printing original stories. Among these estimable exchanges is the *Tuftonian*—an unusually literary magazine with an engraved title page and a story entitled "Thessus and Ariadans" appears in that sheet. This story is a curious combination of Howells and Emil Zola. After quoting poetry and falling in love in the most approved fashion the heroine waltzed up and "wreth herself passionately on his bosom" very naturally as any other rightly constituted hero would have done, he held her "close in his embrace." Of course this kind of thing may be very proper as of course it must be when such an eminently respectable paper as the *Tuftonian* practices it, and we have secured a story written by one of oor students which although it may not come up to the eastern standard we will offer to our readers in a few weeks. The title of the effusion is "The Mystery of the Hash House, or How the Switch got in the Soup." That do settle it. Colorado girls can have the bun. But this thing must be stopped. There is such a thing as going to far. Of course no one would object under the new state of affairs to passing the evening in a little soft glove slugging contest with a young lady but suppose the coming woman after invading the boarding club and Indian club, should seek for admission into the base ball, foot ball and gymnasium club, would it not be time to call a halt?.

National Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Convention. We have received the following which explains itself. The movement commends itsels to everyone. We propose that the College Branch of the Y, M. C. A. take immediate action upon the matter. Let it be brought up at the meeting this evening. The University of a Prohibition state, should certainly be well-represented. DEAR SIR:—At a covenition of delegates representing Wooster University and Oberlin College, held in Oberlin, Nov. 30, 1886, in view of the expressed demand and general desire for such an organization, it was decided to issue a general call to the Prohibition clubs of the various colleges in the land for a National Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Convention, comprising delegates from the following classes : 1. Present members of colleges or professional schools, legal, medical, theological, and normal, including professors. 2. Graduate members of such institutions who have graduated within a period of five years. The utility and power of such an organization are at once obvious. The demand for political reform, the immense pre-eminence of the liquor question, and the efficacy of separate party action, all call for united effort in this direction. The Inter-Collegiate convention willfurnish the opportunity for such union, and as a permanent institution will without doubt effect great results in our national political life The undersigned committee has perfected arrangements for such a convention in the city of Cleveland on Jan. 4, 1887. The time for action is brief, but the advantages of this date are many. The vacation season, the diminished cost of attendance, and the central location of the point of meeting all support it. Please notify the chairman of our Executive Committee, W. C. Mickey, box 1254, Wooster, Ohio, at once of your co-operation, naming a competent and live man for the complete committee on organization. Lose no opportunity to spread this notice, and secure immediate action on the part of your club. At any rate let us at once know of your sympathy and interest. You must be represented. W. C. MICKEY, Chairman Ex. Com. Observations of a Sinner. During my recent visit to the city of classics, water-works and boarding mistresses, several of my friends including the rash and indiscreet Editor-in-Chief, asked me to work up my impression of things thereabout for the Courier. Well, perhaps a chap who has been away awhile, may note a few things which would escape the observations of the hangers on. Anyway here goes. In spite of the elegancies and conveniences of our railroads (vide posters, folders, maps, &c.), riding on the cars isn't just all the spanking fun one could desire. The rattle and bang of the cars deafening your cars, draughts of smoke and dust tattooing you out of recognition by your own mother, the flying telegraph poles setting your brain in a buzz—well, to say the least, these aint the jolliest things on earth. Then too, when you alight at your journey's end, on a dark drizzly night, and get pitched from a runaway cab into a mud puddle—but what the deuce has this got to do with the University, anyway! The University. Yes, that's what I started to talk about, or intended to. I climbed old Oread's side, thinking by one of those involuntary mind processes, which no one can explain, that the University would be turned topsy turvy, the old crowd gone, and new faces gaping at me as if to demand the reason of my intrusion. Nonsense. There was no change. The same hilarious bevy of boys and girls, the same jolly Profs., everything just as it had been through generations of students. True the faces were not just those I knew, and some of the names did sound a little odd, but bless you, they can squeeze your hand just as hard, and laugh just as heartily, and skip classes just as frequently as those of years long gone. The Profs. have not altered a whit either. How pleasant did it seem for Prof. Canfield to greet one with a characteristic joke, for Prof. Miller's eyes to twinkle down from above his wealth of great long beard, for Prof. Marvin to come out of his class-room, and bid me stop my racket in the corridors. There too, was Prof. Carruth, not a feature different from his sheep-skin day of '80. Prof. Brownell was pummeling oratory into Higgins. Prof. Snow was communing with his brother scientist, Cope, where hands couldn't reach him; and the chancellor had too many folk of importance awaiting his leisure, to be bothered by one of the Plebeian Smiths. The rest of the faculty representatives were, I presume, enscroned in their class rooms, rasping on the "future of Kansas." Hold! There is something new out there after all. Snow Hall, b'gosh! A diamond set in punk. I used to think that all that man and nature could do toward making an ornery campus had its fruition in the barren rock lots in front of the University. I was mistaken. It is a Garden of Eden compared to the surroundings of Snow Hall. Suffice it to say the friends of our institution will do well to take visitors up in a closed hack, and lead them into Snow Hall blindfolded, I am, of course, referring to its surroundings. The Natural History building, itself, is a beauty, and shows what fine things architectural art can do at the present day. Its interior arrangements are superb, and if Prof. Snow isn't tickled to death at the glorious settings afforded his scientific trophies, why, he isn't the man I take him to be. Nearly everyone I met twitted me more or less about my visit up the hill, intimating that my Courier scribblings had set me at hostile points with the faculty. Inasmuch as I am about the one editor of the Courier who hasn't at some time or other, been taken to personal task by regents, Chancellor, faculty, janitor, or roustabouts—considering this, I think the joke a good one.

[CONTINUED FROM SECOND PAGE.] abstains from clap-trap in advertising her merits. What I mean, I can best illustrate by one little example. There is Washburn college a very fair school, to which Senator Ingalls sent his son. This fact of the attendance of a senator's hopeful, has been the meat, drink and bed of that school for years. It was impossible to say Washburn, and not add "Ellsworth Ingalls." Never has Kansas University had to use such an advertising dodge. Prominent men from every vocation have sent their children to the University: Senator Plumb, Congressmen Funston and Hanback, Supreme Judge Valentine, Editors Hudson and Prentice, General Freight Agent Sargeant, of the Gulf road, and Hynes, of the Southern Kansas, Doctors Hoge-boom, of Topeka, and Linley, of Atchison. Merchants of the high standing of Ridenour & Baker, Judges Thacher and Otis, Post-office Inspector Crowell and dozens upon dozens of others might be mentioned; yet never once have these names been hoisted as a substitute for the scholastic facilities of our institution. My attention was chiefly attracted to this high clientage of the University, by glancing over the assemblage at the "Phi Gamma Psi" party, which it was my good for tune to attend. Now be it known there isn't a drop of Boston in my veins, and I don't care a fig for the "blue blood" which traces itself back three or four centuries. The chief pride I took in my observations of that night, was in the fact that almost without exception these youth were children of parents whose eminence was obtained by tough hard knocks, on the front tier of Kansas. I feel that I speak only the simplest truth when I say that never before was the amount of beauty, vigor, intelligence and culture of our state, represented in a gathering of equal size. I do not care to occupy the space necessary to go over the various attainments of the individuals comprising the party. I do not pretend to say it comprised all or even a greater portion of our finest students. If, however, anyone imagines my raptures have led me to an exagoration of the intrinsic worth and social accomplishments united in that assemblage, I ask him but to review critically the list of students in attendance, and the families they represent. The first old student I met on my visit, was Bryant C. Preston, whom I espied in waiter's apron behind a restaurant counter, near the Union depot, Kansas City. He is one of the University's odd chickens. He and Coffin, another old K. S. U. boy, own the restaurant from which he confidentially told me they were clearing a hundred and twenty-five dollars a month each. Preston is always doing queer things, and turning up in strange corners. Last year when the gas works at Kanras City fizzled, I was walking through a dark muddy street of Kansas City, talking to a friend, when I received a fist crack in the small of my back that made me think I was a goner. But no! It was Preston, who distinguished me by my voice, and took that exuberant way of letting me know it. He was then working on the Evening News, only getting "$40 a week, being a sort of beginner, you know." Next I heard of him down near St. Louis, where he rammed a long-bladed old jack knife into a passenger, who claimed his seat. All the former boys will remember the time he grabbed his washing and skitted down Massachusetts street, Chinee after him, brandishing a butcher knife, and swearing heathen oaths more terrible than anything in the cuss words of our English vocabulary. Bryant got away, as he always did, and reappeared on the surface as editor of a Sabetha paper, where he got into a journalistic hair-pulling scrabble. In the University he figured as a bold politician, an organizer and disorganizer of fraternities, an admirable rustler, and a Courier editor. SMITH. WHERE is the University lecture course?

See J. S. Crew's Ad, on the next page. Hisimmense holiday display reminds one of fairy-land. Field & Hargis sell "Statuary" as well as "Stationary," and the tricky type should have so stated in their "ad," last week. On Wednetday, for the first time in many years, Prof. Canfield dined with a college club—being the guest of the Phi Delts. He says if the boys enjoyed it half as much as he did, they were happy. Prof. Canfield's "Council Board" is now supplied with the following Quarterlies—Wool Manufacturer's Bulletin; Journal of Economics (Harvard); Political Science Quarterly (Columbia). Monthlies—Book Chat; The Forum; The Citizen. Weeklies—The Nation, Civil Service Record; Civil Service Reformer. Commissioned Record. Daily—Congressional Record Phi Gamma Delta Anniversary. All students, whether members of his department or otherwise, are welcome to the use of this current literature. The most enjoyable social event of the season thus far, was the reception and banquet given last evening by Pi Deuteron chapter of Phi Gamma Delta, in commemoration of the Fifth anniversary of their establishment in K. S. U. The closing of a most successful year, and the opening of an equally auspicious one, well merits the magnificent effort made by the chapter last evening. At the hour of nine, the grand march was held, and from then until eleven o'clock, the time was given up to pleasure and happiness. Dancing, card playing, conversation, etc., claimed the attention of the merry throng. At eleven o'clock an adjournment was taken to the Grossecup parlors where an elegant banquet was spread to satisfy the cravings of the hungry man and woman. Toasts were proposed and responded to. E. G. Blair acted as toast.master and by his bright and witty proposals assisted much in making the affair more enjoyable. The first toast, "The Fifth Anniversary" was responded to by W. Y. Morgan, a member of the chapter from its founding. He showed that in the five years of its existence, the members of the chapter had achieved more honors than the members of any other fraternity in K. S. U., in the same number of years. That Pi Deuteron had from its infancy taken a position in the social sphere of the University second to none. The response to the toast, "The Absent Ones," was given by H. E. Valentine, and many "take offs" were perpetrated on those members who were unable to be present to defend themselves. The toast, "The Phi Gam Girls," was responded to by J. U. Higinbotham. He elicited much applause and laughter, by the unanimous manner in which he treated the subject of his toast. Miss May Webster responded on behalf of the ladies, and answered the gentlemen in the same humorous and happy vein. The company then resumed its festivities at the hall, and at an early hour this morning the throng dispersed, wishing that the chapter might have an anniversary every month. Those present were: Misses May Webster, Nell Griffith, Lyle Hynes, Emma Hynes, Mildred Pickard, Hattie McCague, Alice Penfield, Lena Beard, Belle Roberts, May Page, Mamie Tisdale, Daisy Clendinen, Jean Anderson, Nannie Love, Eva Miles, Gertrude Crotty, and Messrs. DeFord, Morgan, Horton, Riggs, Gilgib, Blair, Curdy, Jackson, Sharrard, Ackley, Crowell, Hogeboom, Higinbotham, Miloes, Delope, and Valentine. TO THE CANCELLOR AND REGENTS OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY : Your petitioners, students in the University, desire to urge on your attention the very limited library facilities of the University. We have found, even in our comparative little use of it, that the library falls far short of our actual necessities. There should be many more books, and many that we now have should be duplicated. It is almost impossible to secure some books, they are so constantly in demand. With many of us,books are all the apparatus we use. We feel we are given poor facilities to do our work, especially when we see how much is asked for and given in some directions. The U. S. census for 1880 showed one hundred and forty-one colleges and Universities having libraries of more than 10,000 volumes, and we only had 6,000 then, and they have probably grown taster than we have. We understand that good authorities say that not less than $10,000 should be expended at once to put our library in good working order. If this amount, or something near this is not secured at this legislature, then we must wait two years longer. We hope something can be done at once; and that some better arrangements may be made for students who use the library as their laboratory. Very Respectfully, Very Respectively, Charles L. S. L. H. A.

West Lawrence Party. Miss Sidney Daily entertained her gentlemen friends last Wednesday evening at her beautiful home in West Lawrence. The reception was given in honor of the ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta, and about eighteen couples were present. One hour of the evening was given up to "Progressive Conversation," something new to University society. The gentlemen were allowed to talk but a few minutes to each lady, on a subject given by her. At the tap of the bell each gentleman moved one place to the right, to converse with a new lady, and on a new subject. The subjects given were quite unique. The remainder of the evening was devoted to dancing and conversation. At a suitable hour, elegant refreshments were served in abundance, to which ample justice was done. At a late hour, the good nights were said, and the guests departed, thanking the pleasant host for the most pleasant evening which all had spent. N. Go to PARKE for Boots and Shoes. THE WEEKLY UNIVERSITY COURIER. --as greatly enlarged. Mr. Davis, in his "wise, noble, and kindly" words, assures the profession that "Often in the history of the world has force overcome, but has never acquired dominion over intelligence." The brute north will not find it an easy matter to "acquire dominion" by establishing aid societies, and by forcing educational grants upon the southern intelligence to the great discredit of the profession. Prof. Derry in his paper on history seems to strike right at the root of the whole matter. He says, "In teaching it [history of our country], let us be careful that no injustice be done to our own section." Ignoring or slightly noticing the memorable facts of our section and states is the great fault of history written by northern men." Here is the great trouble. The northern men fail to tell all memorable facts in regard to southern education. How greatly it would help the profession of Georgia, if northern men would give the educational facts as compiled in the 10th census, e. g., in South Carolina, only 44.6 per cent of the entire population over ten years of age can write. In Alabama only 49 per cent. can write while in the great state of Georgia 50 per cent wield the pen with professional accuracy. The one-sidedness of northern historians is truly astonishing! But I will not continue the discusston. As Prof. Derry suggests, there is something about this matter "peculiarly painful." We are only too glad to call attention to the elaborate report of the excursion to Tybee bell buoy on which occasion the profession forgot their troubles, while "dancing and merriment, together with the exhilarating breezes of the Atlantic, and the stimulating influence of the collation, supplied by the committee of arrangements combined to render the occasion an enjoyable episode."

SHARRAND. | DENTON DUNN. Entered at the post office at Lawrence, Kausas, us second class matter. We have before us a report of the proceedings of the Twentieth Annual meeting of the Georgia Teachers' Association. Coming asit does from such a worthy and intelligent assembly, the report should, and no doubt, does reflect the most elevated educational thought of the state. The prominent object of the association, as announced by the secretary, Mr. Thigpen, is to secure "strong legislative enactment, whereby worthy men and women, as in every other profession, may have protection." He says, "In the past, the profession has been honored in other lands. Why is it not so now and here?" We would suggest to the much puzzled secretary, a careful perusal of the pages of the report contained in the same pamphlet. It may throw some light on this question. On page 8, we find the announcement "that Ex-President Davis, the illustrious chief of the late confederate states, would be present at the reception of his Excellency the Governor of Georgia, Henry D. McDaniel." Now Mr. Secretary, you must admit that this announcement, although very proper in itself, is poorly worded. It throws discredit upon the profession. Why need the speaker remind the intelligent Georgia Teachers' Association that Mr. Davis is illustrious? There certainly is not a person in the profession who does not know that Mr. Davis stands illustrious and unique as the only male sovereign since the Emperor Heliogabalus that has ruled in women's clothing. For sixteen hundred and forty-seven years, the world looked for such a man in vain! On page 9, we see another mistake. It shows a peculiar lack of information on the part of the profession. In speaking of the address by Mr. Jefferson Davis, the reporter says: "When the aged president's form grew erect he was welcomed with round after round of applause." Here you see, Mr. Secretary, that the profession gives itself away. Mr. Cleveland is the president, and he is not a very "aged" man either. We fear, Mr. Secretary, that the profession in Georgia is not very well posted on current politics. But on turning the pages, our hope for the profession in Georgia A Jolly Time. Last Saturday evening, after the regular fraternity meetings of the Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Gamma Delta, Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta, the boys of these fraternities met in the halls of Beta Theta Pi and Phi Kappa Psi in the Opera House block to celebrate in a fitting manner the closing of the year. The principal point of the meeting was at the Beta Hall, where was the abundance of refreshments, consisting of nuts and candy furnished by the Phi Gamms, fruits furnished by the Phi Psi's, cigars furnished by the Phi Delts and cider furnished by the Betas. A gigantic tin horn capable of creating a deafening noise was at hand, to assist in the swelling of the din which arose from the throats of the sixty-five boys who were present. Quite a number of the gentlemen assumed the part of ladies, and wore costumes in accordance with the part which they represented. All the latest styles of feminine apparel could be seen, and many indeed were the compliments showered upon the coy young creatures. One of the most beautiful of the assembled belles, was everywhere accompanied by a page, who faithfully carried the train of her rich silken dress. Near ten o'clock, when the merry making was at its highest, and when the roof of the building was rising and falling, in its endeavor to accommodate itself to the noise, an unexpected guest in the person of Marshal Prentice, arrived on the scene. He stated that Adelaide Moore was playing "As You Like It," in the Opera House, and that the noise by the frats was so great that nothing could be heard by the audience. He sated that in the most affecting part of the play, just as the audience was about to burst into tears, that "that horn went ka-bloo, ka-bloo, ka-bloo," and knocked the sentiment higher than a kite. He stated that he had been sent to request less noise. The boys were accepting the request kindly, and no doubt would have acceded to it, had he not supplemented his request by beginning to brag and blow as to what he would do if he was not obeyed. This the boys could not stand, and a few of the younger ones began to cry "rats," "speech by Prentice," etc. This enraged the "Terror of the West" to a great degree. He did not deem it respect due to his exalted position, and although terrorized almost to death, yet assisted by his supe, he grasped one of the ladies, (?) probably one of the most unoffending of the whole lot of boys. The students at the same moment grasped the same boy, and then it was pull students, pull Terrorized. It was a battle for the student, and now in the hall, in the corridor, half way down the steps, back again in the corridor, in the hall again, the battle raged fiercely. Every student engaged kept his temper, none were afraid, and the only one in any manner suffering from the tussle, was the student whom they were attempting to arrest, he having his feminine costume torn completely off of him, and being almost torn to pieces, himself. On promise of the Terrorized that the prisoner would only be taken to the foot of the stairs where the affair could be explained, he was given up by the students. He was taken to the Journal office, where, after an explanation, he was unconditionally set free. After this episode, the fun raged higher than ever before. Songs concerning Prentice were composed and sung, takeoffs on the University Profs. were performed, speeches were made by representatives from each fraternity, the great "bear act" was enacted, and every student assembled assisted in making things lively. Just before Sunday morning, the meeting broke up. It was a representative crowd of University boys, and it was an assemblage of which we may well feel proud. The fact that the members of the four fraternities of the University whose interests clash together so frequently, meet in such friendly relationship; the fact that not a dollar's worth of damage was done to any property; the fact that no unlawful resistance was shown to the marshal; and the fact that at four minutes before the hour which ushered in the Sunday morning, the signal for departure was given, shows the manliness and common sense which is so largely bestowed by nature upon the boys of K.

They say the Senior law class has a natural poet. Did you have to borrow money to get home on? Don't forget the Usher Guard ball next Friday, the 31st. The Great Religious Weekly now has a "Devil." How do you like receiving your Courier at your home? The "Historic City" looks very deserted without the students. It don't cost much to take your girl out sleigh riding this winter. The Review came out last week looking a little thicker than usual. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DEC.24, 185 The Law Class decided to dismiss at the same time as the other classes. Most of the members of the faculty are in Lawrence during the holidays. The library will not be moved during the holidays as was contemplated. There will be a good deal of work done on the "hill" in the way of cleaning up. The "Friends in Council" gave their annual supper last Tuesday evening. Most of the members of the faculty are in Lawrence during the holidays. Who is studying during vacation, and who will have their studies the first day? The "Nunnery" is completely broken up, every inmate having gone to her home. The Kappa Kappa Gammas will keep open house at the residence of G. L. Howe. The West Lawrence girls will keep open house at the residence of Henry Tisdale. But very few students remain in Lawrence during vacation except those who reside here. Mr. J. E. Adams, Washburn's alternate, is a fine orator, and would have made a good race in the State contest. The work on the water-works is "going on" as usual. Not much prospect for finishing by Jan. 1, however. When you come back from your festivities be sure and bring fifty cents to pay your subscription for the Great Religious Weekly. Judge West is diligently at work mounting the geological specimens which he discovered last summer in Western Kansas. Mr. Brewster, the orator from Washburn, is said to have a very pleasing delivery, and a great amount of personal magnetism. Our sporting editor, our society editor, our humorous editor, and our heavy editorial editor and our religious editor are all at home spending their vacations. The Courier will next week publish a list of the University ladies who will receive callers. Those intending to receive will confer a favor by giving us their names. We wonder if the Bakery will send any of its wares to Ottawa this year. We always did like the doughnuts, they were always so fresh, and that is much to be desired in a doughnut, you know. Show the COURIER to your father mother, brothers, sisters, cousins, anuts, and your best girl, then help along the Great Religious Weekly by getting cash subscriptions from them all. The State Teachers' Association holds its annual meeting this week aa Topeka. Prominent educators from all parts of the state will be in attendance. The general meeting will be held in the Representative Hall in the State House. Talking of Christmas dinners, it would be well to think of Prof. J. H. Canfield's. A good dinner and a big dinner to be sure. Those who will be present are Prof. L. E. Sayre, wife and family, Mrs. M. L. Simpson, Prof. Mamie Simpson, Prof. Adelaide Rudolph, Prof. A. G. Canfield, Prof. Aldrich and wife, and Prof. MacDonald. The Usher Guard hop last Friday evening, was quite well attended by students, and was a very pleasant affair. It pays the students to attend these parties. The guards are splendid fellows, their hall is excellent for dancing, they have good music, and the students can go there at a much less expense than they can get up their own parties. All the students in the city, should attend the grand ball, Dec. 31. The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity gave a very enjoyable hop in its hall last Friday evening. The affair was entirely informal, and was gotten up on short notice, but was in every way a delightful success. About ten couples were present, and spent the evening in dancing and conversation. It has been found by experience that even an informal hop given by the Phi Psis, is more pleasant than a royal entertainment of some other frats. Oh happy is the man who has a best girl! She helps to pass away many weary hours. She cheers him when he is blue. She is cheap too, cheaper than billiards or poker. She don't have to go sleighriding, as there is no snow. She can't go buggyriding, as that is out of season. Too warm for oysters. Too cool for ice cream. Nothing billed at the opera house, no concerts, no parties. no balls. Oh lucky youth, go in now and improve these golden hours. Marshal Prentice is happy now. Students have gone home. Prentice thinks seriously of abolishing the University after the holidays. Mr. Douglas E. Hamilton, of Des Moines, Iowa, will be married next week to Miss Jennie O. Walker. Both are well-known in K. S. U. Mr. Hamilton was one of the most prominent old students, a Beta, and a member of the Amphion quartette. Miss Walker has been a resident of Lawrence for many years. She is a member of Pi Beta Phi sorosis. The hosts of friends of both bride and groom will unite with the Courier in wishing them a long and happy life. The December number of the Review appeared last week. This is decidedly the best number of the present year. The literary department comes near to the old standard of excellence which the Review maintained years ago. Miss Nellie G. Thacher contributes an excellent article on "Kansas Girls in the University." The editorial page, is, as usual, rather weak, not much work being put thereon. The "Reviews" are excellent, being well written and thoughtful; the locals and persons are stale. All in all this number is very creditable to the management. To Mr. Charles Smith and various other boys, laboring under the same difficulty: Ye timid, struggling, phantom shade, Like some weird spirit, half afraid To expose thyself to mortal gaze, Or like some tinted mist or haze. That seems to be, but yet is not. And gathers round some favored spot. Upon my pliz, a thing of hope, To meet some time my shaving soap. Oh haste! Pray haste, I beg and grow; Dost feel no pride to be so slow? I long to know what is thy hue. And run my happy fingers through Thy meshes thick,and hold them fast, Then I could be a man at last! One of the prettiest halls in the city, now is that of the Phi Gamma Delta. It is located on the third floor of J. G. Haskell's building in the Eldridge House block. It is a large airy room, twenty-five by thirty-six. Its walls are elegantly decorated in Mr. Hargis' best style. Handsome curtains adorn the windows. Upholstered furniture, a piano, and presiding officer's desk add much to the appearance of the room. A six-light chandelier and four side jets give light enough in the darkest night. The floor is canvassed on account of the dancing proclivities of the Phi Gamms. The boys owe much to the Phi Gamm girls who have laoyally contributed six handsome banners, plaques, tidies, and an elegant piano scarf. These go very far towards giving the room its homelike comfortable appearance. The Phi Gamms can feel proud of their first five year's work. PERSONAL. Miss Alice Pettec is in Osage City.

That apparent intention on the part of the citizens to live to enjoy life, surrounded by culture and refinement, is everywhere manifested, and makes of the town one of the most desirable places to live in, that a lover of education can find.

The Courier comes to you, one and all, bearing the holiday greeting of the management. We come to tell you the news, we come to cheer you. Oh, how different is each succeeding Christmas. In the years of childhood, how we used to look forward to this annual feast and think of its presents and its varied joys. Years have gone by, childhood has passed and we instinctively look forward to Christmas as the time when the broken family circle shall be united. The past will all come back as we gather at the old home, with father and mother, brothers and sisters, to enjoy the blessings of home. We feel like republishing the article of last year, entitled, "An UnChristmaslike Christmas." It seems to us very appropriate. Yet we will refrain and content ourselves with echoing the sentiment. You fortunate ones who have a home, and who spend your holidays there, just stop and think of your classmates who are here in Lawrence, unable to go home. They stay and work, and eat the black bread of poverty. The brave boys are not to be pitied; they are to be envied. It is hard for them to stay away from the family board at this time of universal rejoicing and feasting, yet such disappointment only makes more strong their determination to be and do something worthy the most noble and true men. It is from this class of our students that the most trustworthy and honorable citizens come. It is these boys who win for themselves the most honorable position and often the greatest amount of worldly wealth. The Courier could name a large number of our most prominent alumni who worked and suffered in the years of young manhood and young womanhood but who now are beginning to en joy the fruits of work done, thoroughly, earnestly, and well. But not ashamed of poverty. Let i urge you on to work with ye greater zeal. "Is there for honest poverty, That hangs his head and n' that, The coward slave we pass him by, We dare be noor for n' that: The rank is but the guinea stamp, The MAN's the gold for a' that. The Minneapolis Messenger, Lieut. Gov. Riddle's paper, says that the main building, unless repaired, is in a fair way to tumble down within five years. The water-works will be a rather poor protection to the University. By means of it,water can be thrown but to the third story of the Main building. A powerful pumping engine capable of throwing several streams clear over the building, should be purchased by the University. This could be either a common fire-engine or pumps connected with the steam boilers. Then by keeping the cisterns full,by means of the water works, almost absolute protection could be secured. We were a little surprised at an article which appeared in last week's Gazette. It seems rather out of place for our city papers to publish the complaints and carpings of every disappointed official of the University. The writer of the letter would have done better had she never written a word of it. It never pays to whine over an injury real or supposed. The attack on the chancellor is not only uncalled for and unjust, but it is indecent, libellous and untrue. Such articles injure no one but the writers. The latest break made by the Hesperian Student is to announce that the cut on its title page is a work of art. Great heavens! Your exchanges are ready for anything now and while you are about it hadn't you better come out in your next and declare that your paper contained at one time, an interesting item or article? You would be just as truthful. On examining a copy, the first thing we behold is this work of art which by the way is very suggestive of hanging out clothes. We next notice your editorials and we are sound asleep. The Mississippi University Magazine contains seven pages of original poetry besides five pages of editorial matter written and signed by Walter Malone, editor-in-chief of the same. We were at a loss to account for this until we saw his salutatory. Walter has been shoving off some of his old manuscript on the unsuspecting Mississippians. When he gets older and more accustomed to seeing his own writing in type, he will get over this. The poetry, however, does Mr. Malone credit, and is above the average college spouting. A SUITABLE place has been cleared and all arrangements perfected, whereby students who wish to ride to school can erect sheds for the accommodation of their horses during the cold weather. How many of those who ride will accept this offer and erect shelter, is not known, but we think that if there is any one in the University so cruel as to cympel a horse to suffer the cold and rain and snow and sleet and wind for four hours while the owner is reciting in a warm building, that that person should not, by a rule of the faculty, be allowed to bring a horse inside the University grounds. Subscribe for the COURIER. University of Iowa. It was a beautiful moonlight evening in the beginning of last June, when I arrived in the Athens of Iowa—that is Iowa City—once the Capital, but now the University town of Iowa. After giving the clerk of the Hotel Le Jones my autograph, I retired for the night to refresh myself after an all days' ride behind the "iron horse". The first intimation that I had that "Aurora in her rosy chariot had chased away the stars," was given by the ringing of the church chimes in the Catholic cathedral. I have often heard of "music in the air when the infant morn is nigh" but never understood its full meaning until I heard those chimes. It is possible that such music might become monotonous, after hearing it for months in succession. However that may be it is certainly preferable to that clanging monotone which peals forth so often at the south end of Kentucky street in the Athens of Kansas. But the University—that is what I wish to speak about—for it was this that I had stopped in Iowa City to visit. Years ago, when Iowa had rather a scanty population, her Solons gathered in Iowa City to make her laws; but as population grew, the capital was moved nearer the center of the state, and the old capitol building was transformed into a State University. The ground upon which the University is built is located in the center of the town—adjacent to the business portion, and about two minutes walk from the post-office. There is no Mount Oread to climb in order to rerch it, but instead is easy of access. A beautiful, well-kept campus surrounds the buildings, of which there are five. None of the buildings are as large as our main building, neither have they any as well built as Snow Hall. Their chapel is rather a contracted affair, and their library meets the wants of their students about as well as our own. They have a good medical department, with a large attendance, and an excellent law course, with several able lecturers at the head of it. Their total attendance is something over five hundred—composed of an excellent class of students. Of course they have Greek letter fraternities, with all their attendant benefits and Christianizing influences. With one exception, they are chapters of the same fraternities as those represented in our University, and their manner of proselyting is the same as that practiced here. Of course they form combinations too, intermixed with the quintescence of "cussness," and friendly jealousy —which like a piquant sauce a relish to college life. There is one thing, however, about the Iowa Greeks to their credit—that is they do not neglect their literary societies for their secret societies. They have literary society halls nicely fitted up, in fact superior to any that we possess. Among the lady Greeks there does not seem to be as much rivalry as here, although their membership is made up o the fairest of the fair, and their colors those of L.C. and K.K.G. A military department fully equipped is another feature which is an addition to their University, and seems to be very popular with the students, for it is considered a Chancellor's Report. TO THE HONORABLE, THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS—GENTLEMEN: It becomes my duty, and it is my pleasure as well, to make formal report to you covering the two years which terminated on the 30th of June, 1886; to acquaint you with the present condition of the University; and to recommend such measures looking to the future as will, in my best judgment, secure continued growth and prosperity. It is thus seen that the total enrollment was 471 for the year 1884-5, and 419 for the year 1885-6. Of these the State of Kansas furnished 425 in 1884-5 and 375 in 1885-6. It must be borne in mind that previous to the fall term of 1883 the requirements for admission to the Preparatory Department was very meager. The lowest classes pursued essentially the studies that were offered in every school district in the State. At the April meeting of the Board in that year it was resolved that the lowest of these classes be discontinued. The Board further directed in their September meeting in 1884, that there should be still further reductions at the opening of the fall term in 1885. Furthermore, the Legislature of the State at its last regular meeting required the discontinuance of the Normal Department. The last two reductions were made operative at the beginning of the last collegiate year, September, 1885. There remains of the Preparatory Department not very much beyond that instruction in the languages which is necessary to prepare for the work of the Freshman class. It will doubtless be found necessary to retain this for some years to come. The effect of the discontinuance of these lower classes had already been anticipated. In the aggregate the number of our students has been somewhat diminished. This was expected. The number of students, however, who have sought instruction in our collegiate and professional classes has increased quite as much as we had reason to expect. Besides this, our students come from the preparatory high schools with better and more mature preparation. These high schools, more fully recognized by the University than heretofore as preparatory schools, have come into more har monious relations with us. But these are only the more apparent advantages growing out of the change in our course of study. They are by no means the most real and important. Our students, being of more mature age, have, with fewer exceptions than heretofore, been most thoroughly devoted to their work. The professors have been enabled to give more time and strength to collegiate classes. In addition to all this, the University has gained immeasurably in the confidence and esteem of the people of the State. At the beginning of the collegiate year 1885-6, Prof. Carruth, of the chair of German and French, indicated a desire to spend part of the year in Europe for purposes of travel and of study You readily acceded to his wishes, and in December he went away on leave of absence till the opening of the next collegiate year, September, 1886. During his absence the work of the department was divided between his assistant, Arthur G. Canfield, and Miss Nellie G. Thacher, of the city of Lawrence. It is a personal pleasure to me to say in this connection, that Miss Thacher most ably accomplished the work which was committed to her care. Her acquaintance with the subjects taught, acquired in part at the University, from which she graduated in 1881, and in part by foreign travel, her skill in teaching, and her helpful general influence, lead to regret that her services cannot in some capacity be continued in the University. Near the close of the collegiate year 1885-6, Professor Leverett W. Spring resigned the chair of English Literature, Rhetoric, and Belles Lettres, to accept the same Professorship in Williams College. His successor in the chair of English is Arthur Richmond Marsh, Ph.D., a graduate of Harvard University. Several changes have been made in the faculty of the University. At the close of the collegiate year 1884-5. Professor Kate Stephens withdrew. Miss Stephens is a graduate of the University, class of 1875. In 1878 she was appointed assistant in Greek. In 1879 she was elected to the full professorship. She is succeeded by Alexander M. Wilcox. Dr. Wilcox is a graduate of Yale College, from which institution he also received the degree Ph. D. After graduation he continued, in Athens, his studies in his chosen department. Returning to America, he devoted himself with eminent success to the teaching of Greek. In the changes that were made consequent upon the retirement of Miss Stephens, Miles W. Sterling was made assistant in Greek and Miss Adelaide Rudolph, of Hiram, Ohio, was elected assistant professor of Latin. By the generous liberality of the Legislature of the State, the Department of Law has been greatly strengthened and improved. The Dean of that department is now enabled to give it his entire time and strength. With the assistance that it is thus possible to give him, it would seem that the law classes in the University are well provided with competent instruction. There is yet needed, however, a well-selected law library. Indeed, a separate building, with library, alcoves and lecture rooms, is as essential to the highest success in this department of college work as laboratories, lecture rooms and apparatus in any of the other departments.

AN, Printers. SENSITIVENESS OF SMELL.—Prossors Nichols and Bailey, of the University of Kansas, in a communication to Nature, record some interesting experiments on the relative sensitiveness of smell in human beings. They disclose the most astounding variations in different individuals, but the general effect is to show that males have at least one slight advantage over the otherwise superior sex. Solutions or infusions were made of various ingent substances of varying strength. Thirty-four persons—eleventeen of each sex—were tested with oil of cloves, nitrate of amyl, extract of garlic, bromine, and cyanide of potassium. Fifty-four persons—twenty-seven of each sex—were tested with prussic acid, oil of lemon, and oil of winter-green. The result was that a much smaller quantity or a much weaker solution of every substance could be detected by the average males than the average females, and in detecting some of these substances, the sense of smell was more than ten times stronger in the male than in the female. But during these tests even among individuals of the male sex, the most astounding extremes of obtuseness and sensitiveness were found. Like the other senses, smell is capable of a wonderful amount of education, and it was found that those who disclosed extreme sensitiveness were those engaged in occupations favoring the cultivation of smell. Alpha Xi chapter of Sigma Chi was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. I.D. Bowersock last Friday evening. Mrs. Bowersock proved herself a delightful entertainer and made her guests feel at home. The evening passed all too rapidly with music, dancing and conversation. Sigma Chi songs were sung as only Sigs know how to sing them. At 1 o'clock the company was ushered into the spacious dining room where was spread a repast, such as delights the heart of the hungry student who boardeth at the "club." Toasts were offered and responded to by several of the company, then an appointment was had to the parlors where the amusements were renewed and continued till the clock announced the hour of departure. Everyone present voted the party a great success, and Mr. and Mrs. Bowersock most princely entertainers. Those present were Misses Brotty, Overton, Price, Sutliff, Barall, Howland, Dailey, Atwood, lowe, and Shultz; and Messrs. Smith, McAlpine, Butler, Kroh,rown, Pentzer, Street, Cunkle, bowersock, and Shultz. WM. WIEDEMANN, he Students' Friend! HIS PURE CANDIES ARE UNEXCELLED.
