The Contest
Only a fair-sized audience greeted the speakers Friday evening; although not large it was enthusiastic and gave applause liberally. The program was opened by the orchestra in a well chosen selection. Dr. Cordley delivered the invocation.
Geo. L. Dick, the first speaker, delivered an oration on "Evolution and its Effects." He pointed out the effects which the adoption of the evolution theory would cause. His oration was perhaps a little too "flowery" but was otherwise well written. His delivery was earnest and forcible and with training it can be made even powerful. The judges gave him the second place.
Henri Nickel's oration was entitled "An Ideal." Mr. Nickel spoke of the necessity of an ideal towards which to direct our aspirations and in conformity with which to square our lives. The thought of the oration was excellent. Mr. Nickel's delivery was hardly up to his usual high standard.
The program was interspersed with music by the orchestra and vocal selections by Dan Crew. The decision of the judges, Dr. Cordley, Mayor Poehler and Hon. S.A.Riggs,
was received with prolonged applause. Below we give the markings in full.
W. E. Higgins spoke on the question "Why a Mind?" He showed that the chief purpose of a mind is to strengthen and confirm man's belief in his Creator, God. Mr. Higgins' oration showed care and thought in its preparation. His composition was smooth, though somewhat ornate. His delivery, barring a few heavy tones, was as good as any of the evening.
H. B. Hamilton spoke next on "Labor and Love." He spoke of the unequal distribution of wealth under the present system, and of the fairness and justness of co-operation. The oration was eloquent and finely written. His statements were accurately and carefully made. Mr. Hamilton's gestures are not always the best, but otherwise his delivery is forcible, magnetic and powerful and he commanded the attention of the audience. The judges awarded him the first place to the entire satisfaction of the audience.
Denton Dunn, the last speaker chose as his topic, "Socialism; what it is thought to be, and what it is." He showed that the popular impression of socialism is wrong, and that there is much in it that is right and just however impracticable socialistic schemes may seem to be. Mr. Dunn excelled in thought and composition, and as will be seen from the table below received the highest marks on these points. The logical arrangement of his oration was one of its best features. Mr. Dunn delivered earnestly and spiritedly but lacked somewhat in polish.

The Ways and Means committee of the state legislature came down the other day from Leavenworth where they had been inspecting the pen. They examined the building, and in a conversation with them we learned that the repairing of the foundation of the main building would probably be recommended, but that neither the chancellor's residence nor the gymnasium could be built this year.
Mr.L. L.Dyche gave a description of his various trips to New Mexico before the Wakarusa Literary society last week. The address was highly complimented.
The Phi Delts and Phi Psis had a joint pow-wow last Saturday night. The Phi Psis conducted the Phis down to Grosscup's where a banquet was served. After this the boys adjourned to the Phi Delt hall where the time was pleasantly spent until midnight.
The music furnished at the contest by the orchestra would have done credit to a professional organization, Under the training of Director Swope, the boys are improving wonderfully. Why not take them to Ottawa?

Prof. Snow's botany class is the largest for some years, its attendance amounting to nearly ninety-six.
The Archaeology class has started with eight members. It promises to be very interesting. All are invited to attend.
We see by the Argo that Washburn has already conferred an honor on its renowned graduate of '86 by calling one of the societies, "The Ingalls Debating Society."
The Jeffersonian club debates are attracting considerable attention from our students. Thoso who wish to hear the subject handled in an unprejudiced intelligent manner, would do well to attend.
One of these frosty mornings when a student falls and kicks a hole in the zodiac, aud jams his duodenum into his diaphragm, someone will think to put some ashes on the sidewalk leading up the hill; but probably not before.
It is said that the Washburn students spend their spare time in the senate chamber listening to the peals of eloquence which reverberate through the hall. It is also stated that the boys flirt scandalously with the winsome female suffragists, but this is flatly denied by both parties.
Prof. Snow to Freshman botany class: "You see, ladies and gentlemen, we expect to finish this text book about April, and begin practical work as soon as the season will permit." You know "the flowers that bloom in the spr—." Prof's. voice drowned in cries of "camphor," "spirits."
The Pharmaceutical society which was organized about a month ago, is doing good work, and has gotten down to business. Thirty members coming from both Senior and Junior classes are enrolled. The object of the organization is to stimulate the discussion of scientific topics, to inculcate new ideas in pharmacy, and to promote the knowledge of the student in regard to all matters pertaining to pharmacy. The meetings are held in the lecture room Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Courier Changes.
With this issue several changes occur in the editorial staff. H. E. Valentine, who has filled the position of editor-in-chief for the past term, retires and Cyrus Crane takes his place. A C. Cunkle takes C. E. Street's place and Frank Crowell fills the position vacated by Mr. Crane. Mr. Valentine while editor-in-chief, worked assiduously and performed his duties with much ability and the Courier under his management continued to hold its usual high position among college periodicals. Mr. Street was also a good worker and showed considerable ability as a "rustler" for items Crowell and Cunkle are both members of the Junior class and will undoubtedly be valuable additions to the staff. Denton Dunn, who has served a long time in the Courier's interest becomes president of the company; and R. J. Curdy secretary Denton Hogeboom and Earle Swope were unanimously elected business managers. These gentlemen have already had some experience and are well able to look after the paper's financial interests. White who is a good journalist, takes F. H Gardner's place and will help in spicing up the local columns.
Thus equipped, the Courier starts the new term hoping that she may continue, as she has always been in the past, the student's favorite and the alumni's delight.
Ar the Courier meeting Monday an important change in the constitution was made. It gives the board of directors power to remove any editor who fails for two consecutive weeks, to furnish copy, and it further provides that the reasons for such removal shall be plainly stated through the columns of the paper. This is a much needed change and will, we think, be productive of much good. Heretofore the work has devolved almost entirely on the editor-in-chief and one or two assistants, while the majority of the staff has been purely ornamental, and further than that has been of very little value. But under this new provision the staff will become a working body or else will be dispensed with entirely. It is believed however, that plenty of good workers can be found, and hereafter the figure heads and ornaments will not stand in the way of those who are willing to work and wish the training
The following is taken from Andrew D. White's paper in the February number of the Forum, subject: "How I was Educated." Comment is unnecessary.
"But the college as a whole was at its lowest ebb. There were but about forty students, and the great majority of these, sons of wealthy churchmen, felt no inclination for work, and much inclination to dissipation. Of discipline there was none. The authorities of the college could not afford to expel or even offend a student. Its endowment was so small that it must have all the instruction fees possible, and must keep in the good graces of the wealthy fathers of its scape-grace students. The students soon found this out, and the result was a little pandemonium. Only about half a dozen of our number
studied at all; the rest, by translations, promptings and evasions of various sorts, escaped without labor. I have had to do since, as student or professor, with some half-dozen Universities, at home and abroad, in all of these together. I have not seen so much carousing and wild dissipation as I then saw in this little church co'lege, of which the especial boast was that, being small, it was "able to exercise a direct Christian influence upon its students."
With this issue the COURIER enters upon a new administration. For the ensuing term the COURIER shall be, as far as is in our power, a representative, local students' paper. This has been its aim in the past and on this account it has gained its popularity; so in the work that has been given it to do we shall strive to excel. It shall be our effort to do and say the right thing at the right time and in the right place. We are bound by no pledges and under no obligations to any one. We shall therefore, be at perfect liberty to criticise whatsoever and whomsoever we please. Without seeking faults or short-comings, we shall nevertheless, as occasion demands, express our disapproval with what seems to us at variance with the best interests of the University. We have never been among the number of those who believe in faculty supervision, nor or the other hand we do not wish to place ourselves in opposition to that body. We shall always be glad to receive suggestions and will carefully judge their merits. We hope that the COURIER will continue to please you, but if it does not remember that it is seldom that any two men can exactly agree.
Last Friday was a day set apart by the state, and celebrated by most institutions of learning in this state as "Kansas Day," yet probably one-fourth of the students of the University were not aware that there was such a day. It is a sad fact that Kansas history, Kansas literature—and she has a literature of which any state of her age, should be proud—and Kansas politics, are subjects almost ignored in this institution. This seems hardly fair when we stop to think that this institution is not only supported by Kansas, but sends men and women into the state as citizens, who are ignorant of her affairs.
CONTEST NOTES.
L. H. Leach, winner of the first contest and representative for Kansas in the Inter-State contest in 84, was present; also Howard Campbell, the successful orator at Baldwin this year.
The orchestra say that Higgins and Hamilton were the only men who ought to have been marked high by the judges, for they were the only ones who had politeness enough to address a part of their speech to them. Dan Crew's new song is entitled "The Lost Chord."
friends and is universally liked. It is our duty to give him our enthusiastic and undivided support, for he will represent us with ability. Let the matter be taken in hand at once and a crowd worked up to go to Ottawa. Enthusiasm in proper quantities is a good thing and goes a long way towards inspiring confidence in a speaker. Hurrah for Hamilton! We believe that he is good for a clean sweep at Ottawa.
H. B. Hamilton won, and won fairly and satisfactorily. Mr. Hamilton, although he has been with us but a short time has made many
The noticeable lack of members of the faculty at the contest was painful. We believe that is just as much their duty to attend student entertainments as it is for students to attend lectures and concerts given by the faculty. We do not wish to institute a boycott against these entertainments but we do not like to be boycotted ourselves. We trust that the small price of admission did not keep any from attending. If such was the case, we hope that next year the destitute ones will speak to the members of the executive committee, who will provide them with "coups." Some of the faculty however, never fail us. Among them are Profs. Robinson, Carruth and Dr. Lippincott and we assure them that they have our gratitude and thanks.
When Dick reached back to his hip pocket a man whispered: "now look out for the eagle," evidently thinking that he carried a small pocket bird of that description around with him. That man didn't know where students carry their pocket handkerchiefs. And then when Higgins came out and frowning like some Hindoo god, opened his mouth and said with terrific force, "Mind," the people in front involuntarily curled up and sank down behind the backs of the seats in front of them. Higgins didn't mean anything wrong. The boys in the back part of the room all thought that Hamilton was pulling a pistol when his long forefinger indexed a gesture. Mulvane who sat in the back row of seats in the gallery was positive that Dunn was going to fly, collar and all, and he was prepared to receive him with open arms.
Art the State contest next Friday night Washburn will he represented by Arthur Brewster, whose subject is "Patriotism." Brewster is said to be the most magnetic orator that Washburn ever sent to a State contest. Baldwin will send Howard Campbell. Mr. Campbell marks a new epoch in Baker oratory. Heretofore everything das been on the theological plan and embrook preachers have been her representatives. Good representatives they made, but they had to stepaside this year. The State Normal sends Holmes, who has tried before in the local contests and failed, but met with success this time. Emporia College will be represented by Mr. Hibbard. The Ottawa contestant, Miss Alice Boomer, who represented Ottawa so creditably last year, will be the only lady in the contest this time. For the State University Hamilton's clear and strong voice will ring out above them all. We have no fear of defea, but are confide it that victory will again perch upon our banners. Rock-chock Jay-Hawk K. U.
It is said by those who were nearest him that the Baldwin orator who took in our local contest wriggled so in his chair when Hamilton was talking, that all the varnish was rubbed off the seat. "He was no doubt very uncomfortable. He probably felt as if he were listening to his funeral oration.
College World.
To Our Exchanges.
We owe an apology to our many exchanges for not mailing to them for the past month. When the exchange editor left last December to spend his Christmas holidays, knowing that he would not return for a few weeks, he left the exchange list with our devil, in order that our exchanges might receive the Courier regularly. Owing to circumstances over which we have no control, the exchange list together with our entire office was destroyed by fire in January and although our devil is a man of extraordinary ability, he was not familiar enough with our exchange lists to make out a duplicate, and consequently our exchanges failed to receive the Courier. The exchange editor is now on deck, and he will see that the Courier is mailed regularly every Friday afternoon. Although the list will be made out from memory we hope none will be forgotten.
THE following we clip from the Daily Globe-Democrat of January 29th inst. As it may be of interest so many of our readers we publish in full:
Co-education of an aggravated type has broken out at Evanston. The students of the Northwestern University have been having a perfect carnival the past few days, and the excitement among them is intense. The time-honored feuds between the Freshmen and the Sophomore classes have lately been waged with such fierceness that it has involved even the ladies of the respective classes, who have maintained co-educational rights by indulging in the class scrimmages with as much zest as their brother class-mates. The present trouble began last week when the Sophomores captured five Freshmen as the latter class was about to take a sleigh ride, kept them prisoners in a vacant house, and brought them out at night to the class banquet after it was all over. To celebrate their victory, the Sophomores got out a poster in play-bill style, detailing the circumstances. The enraged Freshmen tore them down, and several scrimmages resulted.
When these bills were introduced into the women's college, the Sophomore girls flaunted them in the face of the Freshmen girls and a hair-pulling resulted which the Dean was a long time in quelling. One little red-haired lady, who ordinarily wears glasses and is an expert at Greek roots, developed a style of pugilism that showed an unexpected familiarity with the manly art. Being driven into a corner by the superior numbers of her assailants, she put up her hands in true statesman-like fashion, and repelled all comers with a genuine scientific one—two—three. As a consequence, a languishing blonde, and ethereal brunette and a spirituelle beauty with hazel eyes are wearing their several optical features in deep mourning.

saw off the head of any Sophamore who dared to lay hands on her. The Dean, who is a respectable personage of middle age, fared very badly in the excitement.
Thursday afternoon the Sophomore boys and girls met at a private house to start on a sleigh ride. Just as the girls were loaded into the sleigh the Freshmen appeared and tried to capture some of the Sophs. A fierce encounter resulted, in which clothes were torn, blood spilled and maidens so badly frightened that they took refuge in neighboring houses. The police were called in, and, with the assistance of a professor in the University, managed with great difficulty to get the Sophomores out of the clutches of the belligerent Freshmen and started on their ride. The Sophomores were to return to Walker's restaurant for supper, but when they drove up the place was guarded by so many Freshmen that they dared not alight, but drove off without their supper. The police dispersed the Freshmen several times; only to have them bob up serenely on the next corner. To celebrate their victory they got out a circular, and by dawn the town was plastered with them. More rows, and serious ones, are feared, and the faculty is now trying to suppress the affair, and several expulsions will be the probable result.
The Pennsylvanian both in typography and matter is our ideal of a college weekly. -Occident
We are compelled to confess that we are greatly surprised to notice the above taste displayed by the Occident. Judging from the above the Berkleyan or Hillsdale Herald must be special favorites of the Occident man, especially the latter.
The Ariel contains an article on Greek fraternities, some parts of which are very humorous. The writer argues with great originality that it takes a thief to catch a thief, that one evil will counteract a kindred evil, hence the fraternities ought to kill each other. He also attempts to prove their harmful influence by making the statement that their formation is prohibited in the Iowa University, Harvard and Princeton. We would ad,ise our youthful friend to read up on this subject before attempting to write another article and he will then be able to use the truth with more regularity in his statements.
It was by far the most bitter moment of our lives when we noticed that the fair quill drive of the Rockford Seminary Magazine came so near to publishing her picture in that most excellent paper, and then failed to do so. We have raked our brains for several days past to find words in which to express our anguish but find our English vocabulary entirely inadequate to supply our demands. We do not care a straw what opinions the Pharos may hold in regard to this matter, but as for us the Rockford Seminary Magazine will always hold our undivided affection, no matter what devices the Hamilton Literary Monthly may employ to decory us away. Of course we suppose this feeling to be mutual, and since you are unable to publish your picture as a frontispiece could you not furnish us with a tin type by next mail?
Hon. Chas Banning, Senator R. V Young, Hon. R Hattfield and wife, Hon. R. E Lawrence and wife, Hon. Alfred Blaker and Miss Burrows were the visitors yesterday. The gentlemen of the party are members of the ways and means committee.
Prof. Canfield delivered an excellent address to the young men Tuesday evening at the Y, M, C.A, rooms, on "The conditions of success in the business world." TheTribune says: "The subject was treated in a most masterly way and much valuable advice was given as to what was required for success in business affairs."
The chestnut editor takes pleasure in announcing that since the burning of the opera house the last alleged interview between Eames and prominent actresses visiting the building has appeared in his department. No doubt this will be joyfully received by a burdened though patie it public.
The Freshmen hold a meeting in Prof. Miller's room this afternoon. They have secured the services of a large sized elm club with an able bodied man at the other end and propose to make it trobolical for any person who attempts to interfere with their meeting. They will discuss among other things the propriety of holding a class party. All Freshmen—not Preps—are requested to be present.
Dr. Nichols, of the lecture committee has secured an unusual number of tible and interesting speakers for the University course this season. Next Tuesday evening Dr. Flavel B. Tiffany, of Kansas City, will lecture in University hall on "The Normal and Abnormal Eye." The magic lantern will be used in illustrating the subject. As Dr. Tiffany is a very entertaining speaker as well as one of the leading oculists of the west, we can confidently assure the public that this will be a lecture of more than ordinary interest. A large audience should be present
Successful Competi-
tion.
If the samples brought to our store to-day by one of our customers is a sample of the way they are selling silks at the mouth of the Kaw, we want to say to our customers that we can knock the spots off their prices. Their $1.25 Rhadame (black) is not to be compared with our $1.23. Ours is actually worth 25 to 35c a yard more than samples we saw. We can say same about Black Silks. We boat them so bad at $1 and $1.25, that it makes us laugh. Good judges or merchandise and values in this city, know and admit that there is no use in going away for goods, dry goods. Silks are the rage now. Buy now and save money. CEO, INNES.

We are again compelled to complain of our library facilities. There is need of books in every department. Our library has been without a Greek dictionary for over three months.

The Betas are holding their meetings in H. S. Tremper's law office.
The engine house will probably be moved, so say the ways and means committee.
The Prep and Freshie are saving up all their money to buy their girls valentines.
The Seniors have a class meeting to-day at 1 o'clock. It will doubtless be largely attended.
Only the fellows who had thoughtlessly engaged their girls for the entire series of lectures remained in Lawrence last night.
Mrs. Prof. Carruth gave a very interesting talk before the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity last Saturday.
Profs. McDonald and Aldrich and Misses Gore, Williams and Brown gave a concert in Abilene Friday night.

Some of the boys say that for a town will so many drug stores, Ottawa has the narrowest sidewalks of any town they ever saw.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
The L. B.C. girls of west Lawrence were quite excited Tuesday mornig for fear they would have to walk up the hill on account of the mud.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEB.11, 1887.
The last remains of the Phi Psi and Beta furniture is being hauled away from before the quondam opera house. Ashes to ashes; dust to dust.
Webster Davis, who laid the foundations of a classical education at K. S. U., will represent the Laws at Ann Arbor next commencement Congratulations.
Houck's moustache has been exciting the envy of his brother Freshmen for some time past. Our local fiend has been trying for a week to think up something about it, but it was too much like tackling an abstract subject.
The last lecture was very poorly advertised. It is not right nor courteous to the gentlemen who lecture here to have their coming treated with indifference.
The obstreperous Freshmen held another meeting last Friday and adopted a class hat which is a little two-for-a-nickle affair resembling a well developed carbuncle. Surely the Fresh is a dude.
Max Strauss, well known to University students appears in a new role as leader of the Strauss orchestra of Arkansas City. First appearance February 11th.
And now the fellows who bet the wrong way are figuring to see how to get through the month on half allowance and charge up $20 to "etc., etc." without the old man catching on.
Hon. M. Reynolds, known all over the State as "Kicking Bird," discoursed very eloquently and logically upon the tariff question Monday evening at A. O. U. W. hall. Mr. Reynolds is a newspaper man and consequently his talk was quite interesting.
Ewing Herbert, the young gentleman who occupied with so much grace the last place in the State contest last year, is city editor of the Emporia Daily Globe and is bringing the local end of that sheet up to the standard attained by the editorial department which is controlled by Hon. Jacob Stottler.
The following note was found on the second floor the other morning. The owner can have it by ringing the door bell of our palatial quarters:
A large delegation of Indian school students visited the building Saturday. One of the "untutored sons" caught hold of a battery in Prof. Nichol's room. After giving vent to a Piute howl closely resembling the "Science club yell," he dropped the handles remarking laconically: "Umph pale face cage um cyclone."
Dear ___Do not come around so-night. I haven't my lessons and besides the other girls will all be here and we can't be alone. I hope you're not disappointed. Your own.
When our "local" asks for news
If you would dispel his blues
And make him laugh for hours and hours together,
Just tell him with a wink
That you are inclined to think
We're having quite a little spell of
We're having quite a little spell of weather.
A small but appreciative audience attended the second lecture of the University course by Dr. Tiffany, of Kansas City Tuesday evening. Dr. Tiffany spoke on the "Normal and Abnormal Eye." Though the subject was somewhat out of the usual run, the lecturer succeeded in making it entertaining to a mixed audience, and told many things about the eye which were of interest to all. The lecture was instructive as well as interesting, and should have had a much larger audience.
The pharmacy boys object to being thrown in with the Freshies in the botany and chemistry classes.
PHARMACY.
One of the followers of the other side in the late election said if they could only get over de ford they could beat the other side, and then they all took chloroform.
The pharmacy department indulged in a grand semi-occasional row incident to the election of officers of the association. Friday two crowds each determined to do the other came into the meeting and as a consequence some considerable feeling was evinced. Allopathic doses of cuss words were administered freely all around and the meeting adjourned with the following officers elected: President, J. H. Deford; vice-president, Corydon Lindley; secretary,
Miss Howard; treasurer, Mr. Wood; executive committee, Messrs. McBride and Rankin.
The complaint has been made that the pharmacy department is too theoretical and that its graduates are unit to cope with the stern realities of the drug business in this State. A last year's graduate applied for a position in a Wichita drug store when the following conversation took place:
"Gradeuate from State pharmacy school eh?" said the druggist.
"Well I need a new man for the coming election and I guess I'll give you a job," remarked the pill pounder. "Ever use statements much?"
"Yes sir," replied the applicant.
"Want ay? If a man should come in and tell you he felt klein weak and all run down like, what 'ud chew do?"
"No sir, wasn't taught that," said the graduate.
"I think I should recommend a little quinine," dubiously explained the youngster.
"Wouldn't say nothin' of beer eh, nor mention a little brandy?" asked the medicine man.
"And if he should tell you his wife was ailing I suppose you might forget to ask him how many bottles he wanted to sign for? Wouldn't get out the statements for a man who said he had a crick in his back, would you?" cried the exasperated health dispenser.
"I am afraid not" replied the embryo druggist.
nocently answered the son of "Young man," returned the Wichita man, "you're but a stranger here, your home is not in this wicked land. I guess we can pull through without you; maybe you can get a job in the Y. M. C. A. lunch counter. Jim go over to the Red Light and see if you can't get the barkeeper to help us out
"No sir I don't think I should," innocently answered the son of Oread-
White has ceased the Law for the present and is taking a collegiate course.
LAW.
No.22.
Reed, '88, is taking the literary course and carrying the law at the same time.
Sullivan, '87, is taking diplomacy under Prof. Canfield in addition to the law course.
The Juniors find it difficult to make their 8:30 recitation on time.
In the Junior case in moot court this week, Roberts and Fiddler appeared for the plaintiff; Gilmore and Palmer for the defendant.
The Juniors finished Story on Agency this week. They will take up Bailments by the same author next.
Why are not the law text books taken from the general library and put among the other law books? It would certainly be more convenient for the laws.

LAST year P. L. Soper, of the class of '81, suggested that on Wednesday evening of Commencement week a grand ball be given to which all students and alumni be invited. Mr. Soper thought that the plan would meet with favor among the alumni and would induce many of them to make their alma mater a visit. The students yearly ball at Madison draws more alumni than even the Commencement exercises. We think that it would work well here if rightly managed. Let us have your opinion.

LABOR AND LOVE
Contest oration, by Henry B. Hamilton, delivered at Ottawa, Kansas, January 11th.
LABOR AND LOVE.
By the doctrinaires of social science, personal liberty is decreed free scope. Superior strength turned loose in the industrial community, where force, accident and individual freedom are left to regulate themselves, rears a new despotism crowned with the specious name of private enterprise. This enterprise proceeds from the same spirit that led Napoleon to gather the liberties of France within himself, and create an imperial force "that covered Europe with blood and tears." Democracy in civil affairs, Oligarchy in industrial affairs, is the anomaly of our present national life.
The question arises, has genius vainly wrought, and are mechanical inventions the "iron devils" which crush labor's hopes and rob labor's chances? John Jtuart Mill sadly asks, why no day's toil for any human being has been lightened. With progress, human wants have multiplied, human needs have multiplied, inventions have multiplied, labor has divided and sub-divided and is distributed to wheels, cranks and levers innumerable. Yet labor has remained a constant factor, and, in the work of production to-day, laborers in their dull, continuous, automatic toil are "as impersonal units." Impersonal as the loom. Impersonal as the cog and band. Less personal, indeed, than the complex mechanism working out of the thought of some immortal mind.
Dead level of equality, when personal beings fill the place of impersonal units.
Plato expected commerce to increase as toil divided, but little did he dream of this century's struggle; of the combative spirit in man, leading his faculties in battle array, over "our daily bread." The struggle for gain is intense, conscienceless and loveless. It breeds frenzy on Wall street, pandemonium at the Chicago Exchange. War passions and gambling passions flash and flame along the lines of daily trade. The business drift has been steadily toward the ethics of the Board of Trade. Value is not determined by utility, but by the fluctuations of trade. To a remorseless market of mysterious supply and demand, labor must come to exchange for the privilege of meagre animal life. Labor is a commodity; a commodity in excess of demand; cheaper than the slave; a perishable commodity, in which, on the average, are wrapped the destinies of five lives and a home. Thus, the laborer himself is virtually a commodity, a sentient being filling the insen sate place of a commercial thing.
It is the ethics of trade, that teaches us to regard every question with prudential and calculating eyes, and even those who would reform the world, exhibit the waste of vice and crime in appalling figures of dollars and cents. Our social philosophy is Mammonistic. Wealth instead of man is the centre and circumference of our economic science. I believe with Lincoln that "man should be
Dead level of equality, when sentient beings fill the place of insensate things.
first—the dollars second." True, appalling is the waste, but more appalling still is the waste of soul which correlates the economic waste. The most appalling fact is this, that souls are born into the world but "half made up" and doomed to social environments that give them yet more evil shapes. It is the wontonness of wealth and the grind of poverty that make men vulgar, extravagant and criminal. In the very centers of civilization, where the extremes of wealth and poverty meet, creeps the lowest vice.
Starting revelations or guided crime in circles of irresponsible wealth, were made by the Pall Mall Gazette. About the steps of London bridge crouches the worst deprivation, the deepest misery of the globe. Within three miles of Bartholdi's statute, crawl in green slime. human vermin, whom Liberty has never enlightened, who were born to a slavery, with fetters forged by generations of pauperism and pauperism's vice. This "Black Empire of necessity and night," holy influences do not reach and can never pervade. As Carlyle says: "The heart lying dead the eye cannot see." But, in this dark realm, the Huns and Vandals gather-wielding the fearful weapons of despair. In our great cities, wealth, culture and religion are massed, but there, too, the volcanic forces of ignorance, misery and crime, are massed. What can avert the earthquake shock?
But what shall we say to the complain of the honest laborer. Working for wages which bar-keeper scorn, he perceives millions wasted not only in criminal indulgence and drunken vice, but also in great enterprises wrecked by ruinous competition. On the other hand he perceives wealth and power accumulate in the hands of few. A railroad magnate receives citizens from two western cities and gives his royal promise to build their cities up. Single men accumulate fortunes which exceed the stretch of imagination. They are like those vast astronomical distances which we can express by figures but cannot comprehend. Whence came those figures symbolizing such fabulous wealth? Mystery of mysteries, but to this mystery add this question from the laborer's anxious mind: "Why should labor fill the word with wealth and be in want?"
Not Waste, but Over-production is the indictment against "hard times." Business relations must be strained, every branch of trade squeezed hard, and multitudes of business men hurled into the starless abyss, because society is too rich. Ragged, hungry, houseless seeker after work, suspend your efforts! Perish by the wayside! Society is too well clothed, too well fed, too well housed.
Pennsylvania miners, come forth from eternal night, and let the sunlight mock the famine that shadows the threshold of the "Pluck-mestore." Kansas farmers burn your corn! Society is too well warmed, too well fed. Are these, then, no part of society?
Such is the indictment. By the resultant force of aggressive strength
and cringing weakness, by legislation suborned, by communities deluded, avenues of special privilege, of corporate immunities, of fictitious value, of usury and rent, have been shaped, along which the profits from every form of industry and the fruits of toil are drawn and piled in heaps by pitiless greed. Five-eighths of our produce is hoarded by one-tenth of our population, three-eighths is distributed to nine-tenths. Now political economy is called the science of exchanges but can any disciple of laissez faire explain to us how five-eighths hoarded by one-tenth can freely exchange with three-eighths distributed to nine-tenths. It is not strange that a glut is becoming perennial, that there is a dead level of industrial depression to the masses everywhere.
The social problem is a problem in proportions. The tendencies are toward theiatric heights of wealth and a wide-spread levels of poverty.
To level the Alps would raise western Europe but twenty-one and one-half feet, but the hills of western Europe should not be leveled and dumped upon the Alps, robbing the rest of nature to increase their solitary grandeur.
To make men equal is impossible; to make conditions equal no thinking man desires, but more equitable proportions must be established. The problem must be solved. The ratio between effort and reward is not just. There is no participation by millions who work, in the results of their labor.
These impersonal units, these commolities, are men—men robbed of the real life of man
Many of them are souls quivering with unworked potentialities. Even in the gloom of the lowest ranks of labor, toils the motion of a spirit yearning to mix with life.
Let the privileged classes beware. The hearts of the people are better than their systems—more humane than their laws. The latent thoughts of business men are nobler than their business lives. Already the common people demand a solution of the social problem.
Only well proportioned minds—only large souls with faculties of reason, conscience and affection co-ordinated in symmetrical proportions, can solve the problem. Souls that can learn from the sublime feeling of honest John Brown; yet, with a well-poised discretion of a Wm. H. Seward; with a Chas. Sumner's integrity. Large souls whose generous though includes the welfare of the race, and whose noble qualities cooperate in sympathetic zeal for humanity's good, turn to co-operation as the true principle for capital and labor; not as manifested by communism of provincial schemes, but as a broad system of mutual interest and distributed profit.
Production and distribution are carried on by associated effort. A system of mutualism and common interest would bring the social classes into harmonized relations and create plenty and peace. As Plutarch says: "There is a principle of kindness in the human soul, and men are born to
love as well as to think and perceive."
Under our system of competition, which is our Christian extension of the philosophy of the savage, the embodied doctrine of the "survival of the fittest" by a people who profess the Golden Rule, "Heaven's rich instincts" are repressed, earth-born passions are let loose, and universal antagonism, distrust and bitterness prevail. The strong are made arrogan and despotic; the weak are made desperate and rebellious. The law of competition is not sufficient. Society must accept the law of co-operation, the law of fraternity, the law of love, which every lover of mankind hails with joy.
Self-interest commends co-operation. Pools, syndicates, associations, have adopted it. Solidarity of interests demands it.
Not masters, but leaders do we want; not Napoleons, nor even Bismarks, but men like Abraham Lincoln—a man who was the people's chief because he was the people's servant. The intellect of capital may have free scope, but its avarice must be restrained.
Capital may lead,may guide,may mould,but dictator the American spirit cannot endure.
1
Love and labor fill the world with all by which the world is blessed. Love, then, alone has a right to prescribe for labor, the divinity in man to govern man the animal.
True justice proceeds from love, for they have no regards for the rights of man who have no regard for man himself.
Co-operation is just. Justice alone can arbitrate the rights of man.
God is love. As man advances he gains new perceptions. But his progress must follow the evolution of the Infinite Mind.
Out of chaos and disorder, the Almighty Thought unfolded a universe, and the morning stars sang together. For ages this diapason flowed on, flowed on, until the reverent hush around Bethlehem's Star, when angles took up the refrain for earth and men. That song humanity has heard. Its tender notes vibrate along the heart strings of our race, and now, above the roar and strife of trade and war, mingle with the celestial anthem and blend with the silent symphonies of the stars. Not Mammon, but the Nazarene, shall be the future leader of a fraternal race.
God, Nature, Man, shall be unified by Love.
It is time to make some arrangement in regard to Oread hall. Either the members of the society should immediately take steps towards revivification, or if this is impossible then they should declare that its mission is over and that Oread is dead. This sounds sad and mournful, no doubt, but business is business, and room is room. If the members of the society take no action, then the faculty ought to confiscate the room, turn it over to the musical department or make such disposition of it as they see fit. Some action ought to be taken.

We notice by the Phoros that the Phi Psis have just moved into their new chapter house at the University of the Pacific. We also notice in another exchange that the Phi Gams have just completed an elegant chapter house at Berkeley.
A young "Jap" won first place in the local oratorical contest at Oberlin College last week. As Oberlin generally takes first honors in oratory in Ohio, our Japanese friend will doubtless represent Ohio in the next Inter-State contest.
The exchange man of the De Paue must find it an exceedingly difficult matter to write up his exchange notices and keep up his University work at the same time. After much searching we managed to find a small little notice on the Hanover Monthly in the last issue. You ought to improve on this Oscar, and at least keep it up with the high standard of the other departments of so worthy a magazine. The exchange man on the Lafayette also seems to be afflicted with the same disease —probably ennui.
We have at last come to the conclusion that the fair exchange edittess of the Baldwin Index, is very fond of dealing out taffy to her exchanges through the exchange columns of the Index. This no doubt is very edifying to the fortunate ones, but yet they can only recognize that it is simply taffy, nothing more. We have waited for the past six months to see some unfavorable criticism on some unfortunate paper, but we have been disappointed. No doubt she is so gentle and tender hearted that such a criticism is utterly impossible: under these circumstances, why of course she is excusable. By the way those quotations from the writings of literary men are very useful when "copy" is scarce, aren't they?
If the editorial man on the Michigan *Argonaut*, would read his exchanges with the care which they deserve—especially such a worthy paper as the *College Ramber*, he would not make so many "breaks" in his criticisms. Any one reading the editorial referred to by the *Argonaut*, with ordinary care, could not help but see that the two societies referred to are literary societies and not fraternities as our *Argonaut* friend hastily supposes. About the only thing we could advise our aforesaid friend to do is, to take advantage of the advice he gives these "frats,"—to find some unfrequented spot and take a nap, as he is probably very weary after his great exertion.
NEVER imitate. Be natural. Be yourself. There are none of us but frequently see those who are our superiors in some directions at least And while it is well enough to attempt to profit by the comparison, it is unnecessary to do so by copying. There is a great, though intangible, difference between imitating a virtue and striving to equal it. Take no man as a model. No man is entirely worthy of being one. True there are a great many men who are your superiors. But you are young yet and will grow. Never admit that you cannot develop into as good a man, as strong a man, as able a maa as he who excited your admiration. To do so is to destroy the last possibility of great achievements. If you make a success as a copy, what of that? Any one can copy. It is he who originates that wins honor. Never imitate! Be natural! Be yourself!
The Marking System.
The Marking System.
If our present marking system is of any value at all, (which is doubtful) it ought, at least, to be something of an index to a students' standing during the four years that he spends in the University. But this is impossible so long as the
standard of marking is different in different departments
At present there is general complaint on this subject, and it appears that much of the complaint is just.
Here in the University the marking standard is high. If a student does good, thorough work, attends classes regularly and punctually he is usually sure of receiving a first grade mark on his work. Hence it is obviously unjust for any one professor to require absolute perfection as the price of a first grade; for such a plan at once brings a lack of harmony and the marks loose their value as a record of standing and work. Moreover it is unjust to students in different departments to be marked by different standards, for the classic may at the end of his course find that his record is below the Modern Lit's although his work has been equally good and as faithfully performed.
Again different standards have a tendency to drive students into an unwise selection of studies. There is a desire (a weakness perhaps) which is quite common and quite natural, for good marks. So if it is known that one professor gives a majority of his classes third grades, while another gives first grades the optionals of the latter will have the preference. This may not be right, but it is a fact nevertheless.
It often happens that a professor comes to us from an institution where the marking system is entirely different from ours; for him to introduce that system into his classes here is manifestly unjust and unfair. He should conform to our plan and not throw everything into confusion.
We $dc$ think that the present system is a good one, believing that a simple passing mark would be sufficient. But if it is to be kept in use, let it at least be made fair and just. Let the faculty establish some standard or basis either high or low and let the professors in all the different branches mark according to this standard.

The city of Lawrence at least owes enough to the students of K. S. U. to allow them necessary conveniences. A walk of some kind should be laid on Adams between Tennessee and Kentucky streets.

Every profession, the teacher, the preacher, doctor and lawyer is represented in the lecture course this year except that of the journalist. Although many of our students intend entering the newspaper business, members of this profession are ignored by the lecture committee. Not because there are no able lecturers among newspaper men, for where in the west can be found more entertaining talkers than Noble L. Prentis, Hon. M. W. Reynolds, or even Sol Miller, in spite of all that may be said of him. Let the lecture committee next year try and have this hitherto neglected profession to which the University owes its very existence represented on the course.

It brought down the house. Billings certainly displayed his abilities as a "phunny" man with great credit. Eames and Franklin's "Investigations in Anatomy," were too rich to describe, and R. L. McAlpine exhibited some "Plans and specifications for a proposed pipe line from Wallruff's chemical works to Wyandotte, Kansas," in a manner which established his ability as an engineer and humorist. Will Snow astonished all with some weird feats of magic which puzzled even the Profs. Several members of the faculty were present and delivered addresses of which space and respect forbid any mention. The club adjourned by giving the "Science club yell" which caused even the stuffed bears to shudder and the snakes to crawl into their holes.
1887.
The K. S. U. boys were the only ones who displayed any enthusiastic spirit in Ottawa. A gentleman in that place remarked when he saw our boys walk through the streets in a body and do the bear act, that it reminded him of his college days in Harvard and that he had never in the west seen so much college spirit exhibited as was shown by our boys.
A gentleman of culture, known all over the State, whose name we withhold in respect to the judges, hearing Hamilton's oration remarked, "I would rather have written that oration than win all the contests in this State from now until 1900." This is the sentiment of many competent judges who heard the contest.

The concert given by the Musical Department Tuesday night was well attended, and it may be fairly said, was more highly enjoyed by those present than any of the previous concerts. The program consisted of nine numbers, and all of them were good. Miss March, Mr. McDonald, Mr. Aldrich and Miss Gore were the performers. This was the first time that Miss March has appeared before a University audience on a concert program, and her singing was highly enjoyed by all present Miss Gore's rendition of Beethoven's Sonata Appositionata was excellent. Judging by this concert the Musical Department is certainly accomplishing a great deal.
The University sent a delegation of over a hundred students to Ottawa.

AT THE ARMORY.

Box sheet opens at Field's Monday.
Last Friday Ottawa was completely overrun with students. About one o'clock the delegations from the University, Topeka and Baldwin arrived and marched in solid phalanx from the depot to the center of the town All along the streets the native gathered in groups or appeared a the windows gazing with open-eyed wonder at the vast horde of students yelling and cheering every step on the way. All day long the visitor made things lively in the town, and the citizens good-naturedly let them enjoy themselves. The entire after noon was given up to gayiety of every kind. The bear-dance was performed repeatedly to admiring crowds. The shrieking hand orgar and the college yells turned the usual quiet of the town into a hideout pandemonium of sound. While from Armory hall came the sweet sound of orchestral music, in unison with which, the fair daughters of Bake and the valiant sons of the State University were tripping the light fantastic.
But at length the day wore away, and the night of the Fourth Oratorical Contest of Kansas colleges came. By eight o'clock the opera house was packed. After some delay consequent upon securing a judge, J. L. Bristow, vice-president of the association appeared on the stage accompanied by Dr. Hoss. The orchestra played a tune after which Dr. Hoss made the invocation. Music again by the orchestra and then the first speaker, L. H. Hibbard of Emporia college, was announced. Mr. Hibbard's subject was: "The Prejudice for Antiquity." He showed how time changes the ideas and opinions of men. He then discoursed at length upon the merit and worth of the old man with the bald head, the hour glass and the scythe. It was certainly a very queer topic for an oration but was well worked up and showed care in its preparation. Mr. Hibbard's delivery was easy but his voice weak and his gestures angular.
Otis Holmes, of the State Normal, gave the second oration, subject: "Of These Things Upon Which We Now Sleep, We Shall Some Day Cease to Dream." Mr. Holmes began with Lord Macaulay's prediction in regard to the future of this country. He poirted out the great danger of indifference in matters of legislation yet no one can deny that such indifference exists. He closed with the sentence which he used for the subject of his oration. Mr. Holmes' delivery was graceful and forcible, this, together with the excellence of his production made him a favorite with the audience; in the opinion of many he deserved even a higher place than was awarded him.
Arthur W. Brewster of Washburn College, was the third speaker. Mr. Brewster spoke on "Patriotism." The subject was of course an old one, and many thought that this would tell against him. But, on the contrary, it found favor with the judges. The oration was well written and finely delivered. Mr. Brewster is magnetic and fiercible and with the eradication of a few faults will undoubtedly make an excellent speaker. He was
awarded second place.
Next came our own representatives H. B. Hamilton. He delivered substantially the same oration with which he won the local contest, "Labor ai dLove,"which was undoubtedly the best production of the evening in point of thought, logical arrangement and care of preparation, and this much was conceded by a large majority of the audience. After the program was finished the Lawrence delegation was as confident of victory as ever. But ___
Ottawa was represented for the third time by a young lady, Miss Jennie Sherman, who spoke on "England's Injustice to Ireland." The subject shows plainly the drift of the oration. Miss Sherman's delivery was earnest, but somewhat monotonous.
P. P. Campbell of Baker, the last speaker, chose as his subject "What of the Republic." Mr. Campbell had another old subject but his manner of treatment was different from college writers in general. He showed ths reasons why he thought that national perpetuity was an established fact. He took a very cheerful view of the situation, and this probably gained him favor with the judges. Mr. Campbell's delivery was excellent in many respects. His voice is rich and deep, his enunciation clear and his gestures graceful, though too numerous to be powerful. Mr. Campbell was given first place and will represent Kansas in the Inter-State contest.
The judges were Hon. R. Hatfield, Senator A. L. Redden and ex-Gov. Thos. A. Osborne. Senator Redden was unable to be present, but his marks on thought and composition were used and Dr. Gullett of Ottawa, marked on delivery. While the president and secretary were figuring the grades, the audience was entertained by the Ottawa and Washburn quartettes, Dan Crew and the orchestra. After a tedious period of waiting, the decision giving Baker first and Washburn second was announced and was received with ap plause by the audience and with vociferous cheers and yells by the Baldwin students. After the contest a reception was given at the Baptist church.

THE MARKING SYSTEM
An Excellent Communication from Prof. Marsh.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEB. 14, '87.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEB. 14, '87.
EDITOR COURIER:—Dear Sir:—In the Courier of Saturday last I was glad to find what seemed to me a
fair and courteous editorial on the marking system. It is not so long since my own student days that I have forgotten how real a grievance an apparently unjust or uneven marking system is. And since I am led by an item in the same Coulier to suppose that I am one of the chief sinners in the way that students esteem over severe marking, I am very glad of the opportunity your editorial affords me to say my say on the subject. Nothing seems to me of more importance than that there should be a full understanding between students and professors as to this matter, in which perhaps the strain is greatest on the relations between them.
Let me preface discussion of the subject by saying that I can speak for no member of the faculty except myself; and further, that every student is far better able to judge of the comparative severity of various professors, than is the individual professor. I do not pretend to know whether my own marking is more or less severe than that of others, except in so far as I can judge from what is said by students. I must not, therefore, be taken as extolling or criticising the methods of marking of others. I am absolutely ignorant of what those methods are. I have had to consider the question for myself, as indeed all instructors have to do, and my system of marking is the result of my inquiries. The question was to get as natural a method as was possible,—I mean a method as near as possible to the natural judgment of the performances of men, which we find in the world at large. I shall here set down the course of my reasonings for the benefit of those who believe as I do, that this question should be very fully discussed by both faculty and students.
There are two possible methods, speaking broadly, by which the work of students may be graded. The first is according to the student; the second according to results. Using the first method, an instructor makes up his mind as to the student's mental capacity. Then if the student does a fair amount of regular work, and if he produces results corresponding with the instructor's estimate of his capacity, he gets a first grade mark. In short, in this system a first grade mark means that the student has on the whole done as much as was expected of him. It is to be noticed that this method purposely brings it about that differences in capacity and in previous mental training shall not show in the results. The grade-one student may be of very meagre capacity and very inferior training, or of excellent capacity and training; in either case his mark will only tell him that he has done as much as his instructors thought him capable of.
Using the second method, on the other hand, the instructor makes up his mind from his experience of students and of others, as to what results may be expected from a student of first rate abilities and of first rate previous training, with regard to the particular subject in hand. Results like these he takes as constituting a right to a first grade. And those
students who fail to approach this standard he places in lower grades according to their several merits. Comparatively few students will approach this standard. I should say from my own experience of students, that out of any ten students as they run, it would be tair to expect one to attain a first grade, three a second grade, five a third grade, and one to fail. I say this is what it would be fair to expect, supposing that all have been subjected to the same severity of examination in the previous stages of their student life, and that the class is not any respect phenomenal.
Now I say frankly that the second of the above methods is that which has seemed to me most natural, and which I have myself adopted. I have not found that in the world at large men are judged by their several capacities,—no, but by the results they obtain. A. of slender ability and poor training, though he accomplishes all that can fairly be expected of him is not put in the same category with B of first rate powers and training, who accomplishes all that can be expected of him. On the contrary, A must make far more than ordinary exertions, he must make up in some degree his deficiencies, in order to stand anywhere near B in people's estimation. Furthermore I cannot see how I could possibly carry the first method to its logical conclusion. Instructors are often asked to recommend their students. The logical thing to do, whether one marks by the first or by the second method, is to recommend equally all first-grade students, or a'all second grade students, and so on. But it is simply impossible in practice for an instructor marking by the individual to do this. Here are M and N, both first-grade students. Both, so far as they know, have a right to be put on a par in recommendation. But M is first rate in ability and training, besides faithful; N is third-rate in ability and training, though as faithful as M. Can there be any doubt that the instructor will feel M's superiority and that he will recommend him in preference to N?
Is it not then, fairer to students themselves to mark them by results? Should N be made to think that his work is as good as M's? Is it not in the long run, more satisfactory to N to know that, judged by the standard of first-rate students, he is getting only moderate results? Indeed, I do not see how students can make their marks a means of education for themselves, unless they are treated with this perfect openness. Many a student has found his failure, when thus marked by a severe professor, the making of his intellectual life. He has thus been shown that something was wrong with him—capacity or training, or industry—and he has set himself to work with even greater determination than before and has in the end made up those deficiencies under which he labored.
I had meant to speak of some other points, but I have been too long already. I earnestly hope the discussion may be continued in the Courier in the temper in which it has been begun. It will be of service to faculty as well as students. I am, sir, Very truly yours,

We are glad to receive and to publish the letter from Prof. Marsh which appears in this issue and hope that it will lead others to an expression of opinion on this important subject. Careful and thorough discussion cannot but be of benefit, and will certainly bring about a proper understanding between faculty and students.
Prof. Marsh has considered the question in a fair and candid way and has adopted a plan which certainly has its merits. It may be however, that others in the faculty will not agree with him, if so, we extend to them an invitation to enter the discussion.
Convention Proceedings.
The fourth annual convention of delegates to the Inter-Collegiate Association was held last Saturday at 9 o'clock in the parlors of the Hamlin House at Ottawa. Washburn was represented by Buckland and Adams; Baker, by Gault and Anderson; Ottawa, by Carson and Cowill; Emporia Normal, by Crooks and Myers, College of Emporia by Camp; the State University by Dick and Dunn.
Several important changes were made in the constitution, among which were making delivery count one-half in the markings of the judges instead of one-third as heretofore, requiring judges to keep duplicates of their markings, and incorporating in the constitution a clause which gives $30 for first prize and $20 for the second in the State contest.
This latter rule has been followed before only as a matter of precedent
Baker University at Baldwin City was selected as the place of the next State contest to be held on the second Friday in February, 1888. The following officers were elected for the coming year; President, F. A. Wright, of Ottawa; vice-president, W.E. Higgins, of the State University; secretary and treasurer, Platt, of Washburn. Otis Holmes and Fred A. Craise were elected second and third delegates to the InterState Convention at Bloomington, Illinois next May. After a vote of thanks to the Ottawa association for their attention and courtesy, the convention adjourned sine die.
A Challenge.
In the United States there is a game which, on account of its great popularity, is called the "national game"—base ball. The game is a very healthful as well as exciting one. Washburn has material for the finest base ball club in the State, which will be immediately put in good fighting trim for the season. The University having been "downed" at oratory, could do no better than to turn her attention to the game of ball, send in her little challenge and get "done up." —Washburn Items in State Journal.
Read this, then act. Here is the gauntlet not merely thrown down before us, but cast right into our faces. In view of such a challenge, such a boastful insinuation we ought to give Washburn a sound drubbing. Not merely with words but in actual
contest. At any rate our base ball players ought to organize as soon as possible. Heretofore Washburn has beaten us by the merest accident, or because some place in the nine was held by a weak man. This ought not to happen again. There are certainly enough good players here to form a most excellent nine—one which with training could easily beat any college club in the State. But it is not sufficient merely to organize and put a nine in the field. Practice, great practice is necessary.
"Downed" at oratory, this time perhaps, but yet we are not quite prepared to be insulted by a little whistet like Washburn.
We think that our nine will be ready for a little "blood" about the first of May.
The senate passed the University appropriation bill Wednesday night. The bill provides that the salary of the professor of Natural History shall be $2,500 instead of $2,000 as heretofore. The salaries of eight professors remain unchanged. The librarian will receive $600 per annum. The University will hereafter have a preceptress at a salary of $1,200, $2,000 for the library was asked, but only $1,000 received. $900 was appropriated for the clerk's salary. Money was also appropriated to remove the engine house, put in water pipes, and repair the foundations of the main building.

Strange things must ever happen. The latest is the Buchtel College innovation. Mr. Morris, a millionaire's son from Chicago, who won fourth place in the preliminary contest at Buchtel, challenged the lady who won first place, to a second contest in the Academy of Music for $1,000 a side, the winning party to receive the $2,000, which amount is to be expended in a new hospital and named after the successful contestant.—Voice.
CONTEST NOTES.
The delegations sent by the colleges this year were unusually large. Baker led in numbers, sending about 225, Washburn had about fifty present, Emporia Normal sixty, State University seventy-five, while little Emporia College with only about one hundred students was fifty strong. This is the first year that all the contesting colleges have been so well represented. K. S. U. should have sent a larger delegation. Our loyalty doesn't loom up in very pretentious proportions when compared with that of Emporia college or Washburn. These contests have undoubtedly done a great work in bringing the colleges of the State into better relations and giving the students of each and all broader ideas. They have increased college spirit, and brought colleges into wider notice. They deserve our sympathy and support.
The rivalry between Baker and K. S. U. was of a pleasanter nature than heretofore. While healthy, and as strong as ever it was not so bloodthirsty and fierce. K. S.U. boys danced with Baker girls and enjoyed it hugely. Delegates from the two institutions even condescended to board at the same hotel, and Hamilton and Campbell occupied the same room. When the train stopped at Baldwin each crowd cheered lustily for the other.
We were beaten, and, whether fairly or not, we have no disgruntled remarks to make. We will try and accept defeat gracefully and do everything in our power to retrieve it next time. Mr. Phillip Campbell, the winning orator, is certainly an excellent speaker and will do Kansas credit in the Inter-State contest. Moreover he is an honorable and pleasant gentleman and an agreeable companion. He is deservedly popular at Baker, and his vichry was on that account heartily enjoyed by the students of his college. Mr. Brewster, the second man, is well known and universally liked. To him is the honor of placing Washburn higher in the list than she has ever been before. To Campbell and Brewster we extend congratulations and hope that they may be equally successful in the future.
The change in the constitution making delivery count one-half was carried almost unanimously. Yet it seems doubtful if this is really the wiser plan. It certainly gives inferior institutions a better chance of winning; but it may produce inferior orations. While the true purpose of oratory is to impress convictions and move one's hearers, it happens that in this day and age the printed article is so much farther-reaching than the spoken word, that ability to write well is of greater importance than ability to speak well. Yet if the others are satisfied we think that the University is willing to take its chances on this plan, and we have no fear but that she will get her portion of the honors.

Blair's oration was published in the morning Journal.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEB. 25, 1887.
Considering the weather, the audience on Tuesday was remarkably large.
Prof. Chanute,of Kansas City, will give the third lecture Tuesday evening.
Miss Anna Barker and Nannie Love represented K. S. U. in the legislative excursion to Wichita last week.
The orchestra did better Tuesday morning than ever before, so thought the audience.
The engine house is to be moved. So say our legislators. In the language of the pretty Cadet Morris of the Salvation Army—Hallelujha.
Frank A. Marshall talks in this issue on the "Marking System." Let the good work go on. Professors and students are alike interested.
The Washburn correspondent in the State Journal takes most of his items out of the Courier.
They danced—yes actually danced at the victor's banquet in Baldwin last week. However it was after the Profs. had gone home.
It is amusing to read in the Review that some one is ill about a month after their recovery.
Why not celebrate "Kansas Day" next year instead of Washington's birthday. Washington was no doubt a great man but in a Kansas University Kansas should not be neglected.
The Senior Pharmacists are cranming on the last two years work for final examinations.
The Handel and Haydn concert was well attended by the students Tuesday evening.
We can't bother with every second rate correspondent who writes Washburn items for the Topeka papers. But to Washburnites one and all, greeting: It is better to crow after victory than before.
The Phi Gamma Deltas gave one their enjoyable parties last Friday evening in their hall. Dancing and card playing were the principal sources of amusement, and a most enjoyable evening was spent. Those present were Misses Emma Hynes, May Webster, Mamie Tisdale, Lyle Hynes, Sidney Dailey, Nell Griffith, Mamie Lyons, Alice Penfield, Lena Beard, Daisy Clendinen, Anna Hutt, Gertrude Crotty, Jean Anderson, Stella Hynes, Nell Price of Paola; Messrs. Riggus, Crowell, Blair, Horton, Fitzgerald of Ottawa, Becklart, Curdy, Morgan, Jackson, Hogeboom, Delo, Brown, Valentine, Deford.
Poor old Washburn whining like a whipped cur raises another wail about her base ball team. The feeders at the educational hog trough near Topeka think if they haven't brains they have at least wind and muscle which they propose to display. Every man to his taste.
The subject of the lecture Tuesday evening will be, "The Manufacture of Artificial Coal."
Everything seems to be quiet in fraternity circles. No new initiates for some time past have come to light.
The opera house is rapidly rebuilding and the fraternity boys watch its progress eagerly. They long for their old quarters.
The Usher Guard bull was well attended by the students. It was a very enjoyable affair, some seventy-five couples were present.
The discussion which is going on through our columns is attracting considerable notice. The marking system is an important subject and ought to be properly adjusted.
It was a pleasant sight to see Profs. and students festooned together in the peanut gallery, at the Handel and Haydn concert. "Dead level of equality" when Profs. and students are festooned in the same peanut heaven.
The Phi Psi boys are working on the March issue of the Shield, which will be the last published by Kansas Alpha chapter. This issue will be especially large and will contain letters from all the different chapters of the fraternity.
Why not call the Review the Alumni Literary. For the alumni are the only contributors who furnish that magazine anything of interest which cannot be found in the Courier.
What is to be done Wednesday night of Commencement week? This night was formerly filled by a lecturer secured by the literary societies. But as one of these societies is extinct the other will not wish to incur the whole expense alone.
The base ball nine will soon be thoroughly organized and will begin practice as soon as the season will permit. The fraternity nines will also organize and strive for the championship.
Sullivan says that his reported dream, although quite complimentary, is not exactly true. For when he told St. Peter that he had been business manager on the University Courier (social, anti-fraternity edition) he was immediately given a seat with the bank cashiers.
The University orchestra ought to receive some financial aid from the authorities. The boys have spent considerable money for music and have kindly played whenever requested. It would be nothing more than just to help them to procure sheet music.
Prof. Canfield says that he has brought back tracts for the economics class, incendiary documents for Dunn and Hamilton, Mental science articles for Higgins, free trade documents for Jenks and stacks of fashion plates for the girls.
Roberts, 'SB, has at last recovered from an attack of the measles and is attending class again.
LAW.
King, '88, is reported convalescent. W. T. Reed, '88, has returned from a short visit home.
King,'88, is reported convalescent.
The Law Department was the only one that held its regular recitations on Washington's birthday.
Sullivan, '87, responded to a toast at the House wedding. Some of his metaphors are reported as being somewhat different from the Democratic drinks inasmuch as they were slightly mixed.
Moore, '87, lately started to make a call on two of the University's fair ones. As he approached the door a glance through the window showed him about fifty women (members of the Lawrence Art League) within. In abject terror he turned and fled for four full blocks when he dropped over against a lamp post completely exhausted.

It has been a long time since the columns of the Courier have been favored with "views" from any of the students. Let it not be thought that we no longer desire such contributions, for, on the contrary, they are always welcome when written on any proper subject and couched in respectable language. We do not believe in such articles, however, when advocating impossible projects or venting personal spite. But very often valuable suggestions can be made in this way, real necessities pointed out and many interesting facts be presented. So if you have anything of worth, intestey or importance which you wish to write up, do not hesitate to send it in.
An Extract.
An Extract.
The following extract is taken from the close of a lecture delivered near this city a few days ago by Dr. Ivon D. Heath, of Wyandotte. Dr. Heath was railroad surgeon several years for Mr. Meggs in Peru and Bolivia, S. A. He was a companion of Prof. Orton in his explorations on the upper Amazon, and was present at his death on the shores of Lake Tittacorca.
As the subject of prohibition is attracting great attention in American colleges at present, we will contribute this extract in its interest, although somewhat out of our line:
"I have crossed the Isthmus of Panama five times. I have crossed the summit of the Andes in latitude 7° south and in 12° south. In latitude 15° and in latitude 17° south I have crossed the entire Andean mountains; descended into the dense Amazonian forests where the heat, the sand flies by day and the mosquitoes by night made life almost insupportable. I have been in rain and mud and swamps. I have floated hundreds of miles down Amazonian rivers; I have hunted the ostrich over the pampas and the tiger in the great forests of South America; and I have never seen the time when a daily use of wine or liquors would not have done more harm than good. I have seen scores of men die from having drunk too much wine and liquor but never yet one man to die because he drank too little.
Fearful stories have been related of the deadly Panama fever—that in the construction of the railroad across the isthmus the laborers died in squads—that as many men had died of the pestilential fevers of the isthmus as there were ties in the railroad. There is no doubt that there was a frightful death rate; but nine-tenths were caused by drinking wine and liquors.
Wines are more harmful than brandy, rum or whisky. Panama is a free port. Wines and liquors are admitted free of duty. They are cheap, abundant, and constitute the biggest stock in trade in retail shops. A very noticeable feature is long rows of bottles displayed on shelves. Gambling tables occupy the sidewalks.
The isthmus of Panama is by nature no more unhealthy than the shores of the river Amazon. No epidemic of yellow fever, nor of cholera was ever known in the city of Panama. I have ridden on horseback from Panama over the mountains to the Chagres river. I have floated down that river in a row boat; I saw the first seventeen miles of railroad, and I am convinced that the Panama fever is but another name for "killed by drinking too much wine and liquor." And yet brandy or whisky is as desirable an1 useful in the medicine chest as quinine, opium, epicac or epsom salts.
Let the traveler eat regular meals of well cooked food; without wine, without beer, without liquor, neither with meals nor between meals; eat sparingly of strange fruits, and he will be able to live not only with perfect safety in Central America, on the isthmus of Panama or in South
America but he will enjoy the new life; on the ocean; in strange ports; in forests totally unlike those of his northern home; among mountains that reach from the clime of the sugar cane and the palm to the highties of eternal snows and ice; amid the ruins of pre-historic races; in a climate of perpetual spring, summer, autumn and shine; in the mines of silvery Potosi or golden Tipuhuani; in the land where grows the cinchona, the chocolate, the coca; on Trans-Andean pampas and the rivers of the Amazonian forests; and in after years, forgetful of the trials and misfortunes of his journey, he will recall with delight his experience and studies in the lands of the Children of the Sun."
The 22d

Walter W. Davis spoke with great force and earnestness. His voice is strong and clear. He gives promise of becoming a fine speaker.
Frank G. Crowell showed that the belief that our government is growing more corrupt is fallacious. He took up the political and civil status of the country at the time of the revolution and gave a masterly description of it. Mr. Crowell is evidently a careful student of American history.
Miss Kimball's oration was very well written and was delivered in an easy yet forcible way which always gives pleasure to an audience.
Miss Marcella Howland made her first appearance before a University audience and acquitted herself with great credit. Her voice is rich and pleasing and her manner graceful.
Miss Newlin in her essay told of the different elements which had entered into the formation of our nationality. Miss Newlin has a strong cleartoned voice which can be heard with perfect ease.
E. G. Blair told how, at the very formation of political parties in this country, abuse was heaped upon opposing candidates and even Washington himself did not escape. Mr. Blair gave proofs of the evil influences of such slander and abuse. The oration was carefully written and was delivered clearly and forcibly.
The University orchestra and Prof. McDonald and Miss Gore furnished the music. It is only fair to say that the orchestra surpassed all former attempts.
EDITOR COURIER : — Will you please enlighten an ignorant student of the University by showing him for what reason the University should be ashamed of its record at Ottawa, or why we are "downed in oratory," because forsooth, the University, after winning two out of three contests, gives up the fourth one to inferior colleges and inferior orators. And why do the winning colleges show more joy at beating the University than in winning the contest, unless it is more honor to beat the University than to win a contest without the University being represented.
H. E.
We understand that the students have made a list of candidates who are in favor of building a side walk up Aliams street to whom the student vote will be given at the city election this spring. Considering the fact that our girls can vote, 300 students are not to be sneered at politically, and can have pretty much what they want by demanding it with their votes.

--ble to everyday professors. But I submit that even in cases where this blooded acumen with a pedigree ten feet long, is possible to be employed, this abstract standard is manifestly too arbitrary to be used in the case of the average student. For instance, here is the average student, X, with an ability represented by 60. Here are two flesh and blood students, A, with an ability of 50 and B, of extraordinary ability and exceptional thoroughness of previous training, with a capacity of 70. Both receive marks of 85 on the score of a hundred. Which has made the greater progress? Which is the more deserving of a good recommendation? Both have attained precisely the same results. But is not A far more deserving than B, even though A be of inferior capacity and unequal advantages as to previous training? Should B be rated as high as A, who has made nearly twice the progress he has? Has not A done better and far more deserving work than B, even though B has a greater ability than has A? Should not A be made to feel that he deserves more than B? I have tried to make this case as fair and impartial as I possibly could and I deprecate any charges of bias or prejudice of any kind. I have tried to show that this system of judging by an abstract and previously constructed standard is both difficult and uncertain as to the formation of the standard and that the standard when formed is unadapted to everyday students. I would submit also the following consideration: That a fair and reliable conception of the ability of each individual student is very difficult to be attained. An occasional remark by the student and a random question by the instructor, each day, is very meagre ground upon which to build. There are powers which are never called into exercise or developed; ability which is forever rudimentary; depths which are never fathomed by the shifting plumblone of daily duties; capacities which are never tested, never imagined, never known. A recommendation which is founded on the accidental glimpses of more than ordinary brightness is not more desirable than that founded on faithfulness and application and conscientiousness. The first may be only iron pyrites and in the second there may be true metal after all.
EDITOR COURIER:—For the first time this year I ask the courtesy of a few columns of your valuable space for an expression of view upon the subject of marking. Prof. Marsh has set the ball rolling with an able and convincing article setting forth the merits of his system. While not assuming to myself the ability or the competency to pass upon the merits of the system, it is at least in order to submit a few notes upon it.
I suppose it should be assumed at the outset that the question precludes the abolition of all systems and we are to look upon markings as we do upon cholera morbus—as a necessary evil. But if it be admitted or assumed that some system must be in force, Prof. Marsh's system possesses much to commend it to students. I am inclined to think, however, that that which is most commandable in it is the least practical and accomplishable and that only its more objectionable features, so far as it possesses such, are feasible. In the first place the key note of the system is this: An abstract conception of the ability of the abstract student—necessarily abstract, even though founded on observations of individuals. If I have mis-stated this pivotal idea I shall cheerfully acknowledge any rectification. But I believe I have succeeded in what I have certainly earnestly striven to do—to state the hinging idea of the system. Now it seems to me that this standard is certainly an arbitrary and unsatisfactory one. This conception must either be founded on a much longer experience than is possessed by most professors and must even then be acquired by the employment of more than ordinary acumen and a more than ordinary professional instinct. And this discussion lies outside of abnormalities in professorship as much as it does outside of phenomenal classes. This conception then must either be very imperfect, owing to the length of experience required or it must require an acumen and a mastery of human nature, beyond those of the ordinary college professor. In either case it is not adaptable to everyday professors. But I submit that even in cases where this blooded acumen with a pedigree ten feet long, is possible to be employed, this abstract standard is manifestly too arbitrary to be used in the case of the average student. For instance, here is the average student, X, with an ability represented by 60. Here are two flesh and blood students, A, with an ability of 50 and B, of extraordinary ability and exceptional thoroughness of previous training, with a capacity of 70. Both receive marks of 85 on the score of a hundred. Which has made the greater progress? Which is the more deserving of a good recommendation? Both have attained precisely the same results. But is not A far more deserving than B, even though A be of inferior capacity and unequal advantages as to previous training? Should B be rated as high as A, who has made nearly twice the progress he has? Has not A done better and far more deserving work than B, even though B has a greater ability than has A? Should not A be made to feel that he deserves more than B? I have tried to make this case as fair and impartial as I possibly could and I deprecate any charges of bias or prejudice of any kind. I have tried to show that this system of judging by an abstract and previously constructed standard is both difficult and uncertain as to the formation of the standard and that the standard when formed is unadapted to everyday students. I would submit also the following consideration: That a fair and reliable conception of the ability of each individual student is very difficult to be attained. An occasional remark by the student and a random question by the instructor, each day, is very meagre ground upon which to build. There are powers which are never called into exercise or developed; ability which is forever rudimentary; depths which are never fathomed by the shifting plumblone of daily duties; capacities which are never tested, never imagined, never known. A recommendation which is founded on the accidental glimpses of more than ordinary brightness is not more desirable than that founded on faithfulness and application and conscientiousness. The first may be only iron pyrites and in the second there may be true metal after all.
I am inclined to think that in a judicious combination of the first and second systems mentioned by the professor, the true solution will be found. Eliminate the ghostly abstraction of the second and the equivocal equality of the first and with the result as a basis a much juster system might be formulated. Any system is manifestly juster than that used by several of the faculty. If a student accidentally fails upon some bare technical question, no matter how thorough his general knowledge of the subject, he is by several marked zero; while another student who, just as accidentally, remembers the point required, is marked 10, even though he has no practical knowledge of the subject. Such a system is openly absurd and, long before we pretended to enlightenment, should have been relegated to the barbarism from which it sprang.

The Pennsylvania seems to be very much fatigued over the attempt of certain members of the Freshman class to sing alto in chapel. It goes so far as to call them "anarchists," but it is in hopes that they may be "frowned down." They no doubt will compare very favorably with some of our Washburn friends.
If the Bethany Collegian has any regard for its fellow exchanges, we are sure that in the future it will not publish such horrible trash as "That DancingBall" poetry. And before we forget we would respectfully ask if you don't think that it is about time to retire all of those Greek and Roman chestnuts which abound so plentifully in that oration—"The Destiny of the Republic."
Some one ought to blow up the Miami Journal with dynamite. Out of four columns of what it probably calls college news, we remember of seeing all but three of the items in our Freshman year—four years ago—and they were probably very ancient then. These exceptional three are probably the creation of an imaginative mind when matter was scarce.
We admire frankness in all things, especially in college papers. The latest paper to immortalize itself in the eyes of its exchanges is the Indian Student. Recognizing the eternal fitness of things it now styles its business manager its undertaker. Students of Indiana University, we congratulate you. You now have every thing complete for a first class funeral. After the obsequies are over you will be able, if you would only avail yourself of your opportunity, of maintaining a paper which will be a credit to your institution.
In the last issue of the Vanderbilt Observer, the first item in the exchange column is an exhortation to the exchanges to give "praise to whom praise is due" and instead of marking clipped articles, exchange, to give the name of the paper from which it is taken. The writer seems to have entirely forgotten about this article, even before he had prepared all his copy for the last issue, as he runs that old chestnut "The Western Girl" in and labels it, exchange, very prominently. Now my dear Culver you know how this looks, please do not repeat it. Outside of a few periodical "cracks" like this you maintain a very creditable exchange column.
A Kick.
All scientists say that a person can not be in two different localities at the same instant. This is also generally believed by those who know but very little about science. Yet there are some members of the faculty of K. S. U. whose beliefs are evidently not in accordance with this popular idea. For the faculty has made a rule that classes shall commence five minutes after the preceding second bell has rung, and all students are required to be in their
places at that time, yet there are several professors, yes, quite a number of them, who pay no attention at all to the first bell and very little to the second, generally winding up the recitation and giving out lessons after the second bell and dismissing the class from three to ten minutes after its ringing. If all the professors should do this, but very little trouble would be caused, but as there are some who dismiss as they should, promptly at the second and then call the roll at the expiration of five minutes, the students unfortunate to be under the slow professors, receive tardy marks, which are counted by some members of the faculty almost the same as zero in recitation.
Being dismissed from a class at ten minutes after an hour is over, and then getting to another, (perhaps in the other end of our long building) at five minutes after the hour, is a task which generally so tires a student, that he is unfit for reciting or listening to a recitation for several minutes.
Promptly at the ringing of the first bell the lesson for the succeeding day should be given out. Ther winding up of the recitation should immediately be commenced Then at the ringing of the second bell every class should be prepared to dismiss and should dismiss.

A Winter Idyl.
A winter day.
A robust young lady from Baker
Whose feet covered nearly an aker
Onece captured a beau
Who worshipped her seau
She couldn't persuade him to shake
He took her one night for a "stew," But when she had stowed away tew And then called for more He left her and swore He had bid her a long last adieu!
Woodward's Bark and Iron is just the thing for a spring tonic.
Look Here!
We must sell our Derby hats and we offer them to you at 25 per cent less than cost. Now is your time. URBANSKY.
The very newest of odors in handkerchief perfumery at Woodward's. Ville odors, whose "offence is rank," are studiously excluded from the "Round Corner" stock. Calm and smell, (and buy.)
L. O. McIntire returned Monday from the east, where he has been personally selecting his goods. A car load arrived yesterday, were opened and are now being marked. They will be on sale soon

Many of the necessities of life come from a drug store. Our student friends are reminded that B. W. Woodward's "Round Corner" is the place to trade. Good merchandise and low prices at all times.

In the Ohio State Oratorical Contest, C. M. L. Stiles, of Delaware, O., won first place. His subject was "Dynamic Faith." W. B. Owen, of Denison, won second, subject: "Our Debt to the Future." The Jap who represented Oberlin is reported to have done exceedingly well.
If you want a nobby spring suit come and see Dever. He has the best line ever shown in the city.
Smith at the news depot keeps the finest stock of imported and domestic cigars in the city.
See Dr. Dresback's card in another column. He is an old college man, and the students should make his acquaintance.
Go to Smith's for your fine cigars.
Senator L. B. Kellogg, of Emporia is a friend of the K. S. U. who is a friend indeed. It was through his influence mainly that Prof. Snow's salary was raised and when the appropriation for electrical apparatus was under consideration by a few words explained the necessity of the apparatus he saved the defeat of that clause of the appropriation bill.
Having a natural antipathy against the handling of dead matter it was the intention of the present staff to say nothing whatever in detriment of the Review. But a recent editorial (the only one which was not taken from the columns of the Courier or the daily press) in that paper is so grossly false that we cannot pass over it in silence. Fair and honest criticism is always acceptable, but slurring and maliciously false insinuations and statements call for rebuke and address. It is well known that the writer of that editorial has written with personal animus and plotted in secret against the Courier and has in this instance resorted to falsehoods to do it injury. It ought to be said in justice to his staff that he does not have their support in this vindictiveness. It is also well known that the Review under the present management has dwindled from the first rank of college journalism into the third; and the editorial is its weakest department. All of this we had wished to say nothing of, for our pride in K. S. U. would naturally lead us to withhold such truths from the public; but since we are attacked we are obliged to give the source (insignificant though it be) and to proclaim its falsity. When the editor-in-chief of the Review says that the Courier has a debt of $75 or $80, he says what is false. We challenge him to prove any such indebtedness, and if he cannot prove it let him show his fellow students that he has no maliciousness in this matter. "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones," so says the adage. It will apply with especial force when talking of the financial affairs of other people. The reference is plain.
