UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY MORNING. No.25. VOL. V. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 4, 1887. "The Courier has been a good paper and a credit to the University. I should be very sorry to see anything done that would injure or cripple it in any way." DR. LIPPINCOTT. Local. Athletic Notes. The Pharmacists have some excellent players to put on the nine. Jep Davis will catch for the K. S. U. nine and probably be its captain. Jackson, Deford and Hogeboom are the Phi Gam's heavy men in base ball. White and Taylor will form the battery for the Phi Psi nine; W. S. Allen first base, Howard Campbell second, and Ed. Esterly, short stop. A Tennis club will be organized. The Kellogg boys, Plumb, Lippincott and Profs. Canfield and Sterling are our best players. We look to Mulvane to organize a foot ball team and give the fellows who don't play ball a chance. The fraternities all expect to put a nine in the field. It is suggested that a schedule of games be arranged and a championship medal be played for. This is a good scheme and ought to be taken up and developed. All the fraternities agree however, that the K. S. U. nine comes first and that the best men from all owe it their first duty. The various fraternities are getting their nines at work practicing for the season's work. R. L. Parker, of Ottawa University is working up a State Collegiate Athletic Association and wishes that all interested in the matter would put themselves in correspondence with him. The plan is to be worked like the Oratorical Association. Representatives chosen from the different colleges and a grand tournament to be held some time in May. Let some of the athletes, Jenks, Morris or any spirited man work this up in K. S. U. The Fraternities. Chas. S. Gleed, the new regent, is the second student of the University who has been placed on its board of regents. C. W. Smith,'79, was the first. Mr. Smith is a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Mr. Gleed is a member of Phi Kappa Psi. The Phi Gams had a pleasant little card party in their hall Friday night. Six couples were present. After the March issue, the Shield of Phi Kappa Psi will pass from the control of the Kansas Alpha chapter and will be under the management of C. L. Van Cleve, of Troy, Ohio. The Sigma Nu Delta, under the management of theKansas chapter, is received with favor by the fraternity press. Bowersock's opera house will in the future be a perfect fraternity bee hive. Beta Theta Pi will occupy her old rooms in the fourth story. Phi Kappa Psi will have a suite in the third story, and Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi will have halls in the same building. Invitations are out from Kappa chapter of I.C. Sorosis to their gentlemen friends requesting the pleasure of their company at an entertainment to be given in A.O.U.W. hall. The I.C.'s have always been famous for their generous hospitality and the occasion will undoubtedly be a pleasant one. The fraternities, or rather some of them, were quite active last week. The Kappa Kappa Gamas initiated Miss Inez Taggart and Miss May Hair. The Phi Delta Theta initiated W. A. White, our dearly beloved local—may he be as good an editor as ever. The Sigma Chi gave the cross to W. E. Swank. Quite a good-sized crowd for one wek. The Phi Delta Theta gave a very handsome entertainment Friday night at their hall. The hall was decorated with fraternity colors. Refreshments were served on side tables. Those present were: Misses Rachel House, Inez Taggart, Kitty Bistline, Laura O'Bryon, Lillie Freeman, Gussie Price, Lizzie Wilder, Maud Thrasher, Mabel Wemple, Kate Wilder, May Hair, Gertrude Crotty, Mamie Henshaw, Emma Bartell; Messrs. J. M. Liepman, V. L. Kellogg, H. E. Finney, G. S. Lewis, A. H. Plumb, F. H. Kellogg, E. A. Wheeler, J. D. Davis, T. J. Schall, F. Funston, E. C. Franklin, E. L. Glasgow, W. S. Franklin, E. F. Neal. The general convention of the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity was held last week at Madison, Ind. Madison is about six miles from Hanover, where the college is located, and offers excellent opportunities for convention purposes. The fraternity has at present eleven active chapters all of which are in a flourishing condition. Of these eleven all sent representatives except the recently established chapter at Los Angeles, California and the chapter at Cornell. New chapters were established at Lincoln, Nebraska and at Albion, Michigan. The Kappa Alpha Theta was again entrusted to the Kappa chapter at the University of Kansas, for two years. The next convention will be held in Lawrence, Kansas, in the fall of 1889. This is quite a compliment to the Kappa chapter. The Sigma Chi and Phi Gamma Delta fraternities showed the delegates many courtesies and did all in their power to make their stay pleasant. They drove the young ladies out to Hanover in surreys and showed them over the college buildings and grounds. The visiting delegates passing through Greencastle were also right royally entertained. The Phi Psis and Sigma Chis entertained them at their halls, and the Kappa Alpha Thetas gave a grand party in their honor at the home of Col. Weaver. Miss May Webster, who represented Kappa, secured in our opinion, a good share for her chapter. She returns with her enthusiasm greatly increased and highly delighted with her trip. Wednesday night the House of Representatives passed the University appropriation bill. The items of this bill have been given before in the Courier and it is in many respects quite liberal. Chancellor Lippincott informs us that the bill passed without any trouble whatever, and the House was unanimous in kindly feeling and good will towards the University. There is undoubtedly a growing feeling that the University is doing good work and ought to have the hearty co-operation of people of the whole State. The Senate confirmed the nominations of C. R. Mitchell and C. S. Gleed as Regents. We have cause to rejoice. There are hundreds of men all over Kansas who will be gratified at the appointment of Charley Glced as a member of the Board of Regents of the State University. He is a graduate of that institution, thoroughly educated, progressive, clean, and has good executive ability. He is in every way worthy of the trust, and his confirmation will be acceptable to all who are interested in the welfare of the University. -Topela Commonwealth. The resolution passed by the faculty Monday in which it was stated that any student failing to pass in more than one study would be expelled,has caused considerable excitement among the "preps" and delinquent Freshmen who have threatened to strike and if necessary, boycott the University. They claim the privileges of American liberty must be protected at any cost and they cry loudly for Blud. Wheeler, our exchange fiend, requests the head of our chestnut department to state for the benefit of a certain young lady at Baldwin that the effusion which appeared in these columns last week relative to a Baker girl and her feet and appetite was not written by him (Wheeler) and that he is in no way responsible for its publication. We hope that this explanation will heal the breach between those two hearts that erst did beat as one. P. P. Campbell, of Baldwin was in the city Tuesday. He was very indignant on hearing that the Washburn Argo had published his oration after express instructions from him not to do so until after the Inter-State contest. If the Argo lacks in other things it is not wanting in voluptuous eternal freshness. The Phi Delts serenaded a number of their lady friends Saturday night. The new name for the opera house now should be the Greek castle. Look out for further discussion on the marking system. We have more to follow. The Topeka Capital lands our Pharmacy department in the highest terms in a late editorial. Thanks. The fraternity goat got in his work on four victims Saturday. It must have seemed like a beginning of the year to him. Prof. Chanute, who was to lecture last Tuesday, requested for a week's time and accordingly will give his lecture Tuesday evening of next week. His subject is the "Manufacture of artificial coal." Miss Inez Taggart is the new COURBERT editor. Miss Taggart is a talented writer and will do much to brighten the columns of this great home favorite. The University of Wisconsin is to have Gen. Lew Wallace, Carl Schurtz, Henry George and James G. Blaine, address the students during Commencement week. Why cannot one of these gentlemen be persuaded to stop over at K. S. U. before they leave the west. Mrs. Prof. Nichols entertained a few of the University's fair ones, Tuesday evening. An elegant lunch was served at 7 o'clock, after which a few hours were pleasantly spent. Those present were Misses Thompson, Wright, Freeman, Price and Crotty. The Journal is booming Eudora as a health resort. This will probably decrease the boom in Baldwin and put a stop to the reckless gambling in town lots there which has been so extravagant that two dollars and forty cents are said to have changed hands there in a week. The meeting of the Lime-Kiln Club last Saturday night was well attended. W.R. Cone presided and the evening was taken up by discussing the following: Resolved, That Cleveland should be commended for vetoring the dependent pension bill Sullivan, Rolston and Halligan, affirmative; McLaren, Hunt and Virtue negative. This Club seems to be the most enthusiastic students' society. Mr. O. J. Woodard has resigned his position as clerk and will hereafter be located in Kansas City. Mr. Wm. Hunt is his successor. Mr. Woodard has made many friends during his connection with the University and has always been courteous and efficient. We are sorry to see him leave. Mr. Hunt is a pleasant and affable gentleman and will make a good clerk. He has been employed for sometime past as secretary of the Leis Chemical Company. Personal. Wm. Hunt is the new clerk. Gilmore has tried his first case. R. J. Curley will spend Sunday in Topeka. J. A. Prescott will spend Sunday at his home in Topeka. Wheeler is the great "barb" organizer. Dr. Lippincott was in Topeka Wednesday. Alice Ropes goes to Topeka today for a short visit. May Webster is now a student of the Art Department. Ask Klewhaus how he liked the lecture Tuesday evening. Miss Mattie Snow spoke in chapel yesterday morning. Eoline Cookins will speak next week with Kansas City friends. Chas. S. Gloed, the new regent, was in the city last Tuesday. Misses May and Lily Gennell will visit Mrs. Spencer next week. Ella Ropes returned Saturday from a short visit in Linwood. Miss Alice Noble, of Dallas, Texas, is in the city visiting Mrs. Shannon. Mr. Hunt, of Hiawatha, Kansas visited H. A.Gillespie this week. W. S. Jenks, after teaching a month at Vinland, has returned. Mrs. F. L. Webster was seen on Mount Oread day before yesterday. May Page was suddenly taken ill Tuesday but is able now to be in school. Miss Lillie McMillan goes to Kansas City to attend the Junior social club party. Bessie Root has been appointed official mail carrier for the 1220 Ohio girls. Mr. W. S. Walley of the Law Department, is suffering from a severe attack of measles. Dr. Louis Horner will lecture to the Pharmacy students this afternoon at the University. Will Root, of Wyandotte is thinking of entering the Pharmaceutical Department next term. K. K. G.'s entertain their gentlemen friends to-night in honor of their new members, Inez Taggart and May Hair. Mrs. Fletcher, of St. Joseph, Mo., known in University circles as Miss Carrie Hastings, is visiting Miss Carrie Watson. Prof. McDonald entertained an appreciative audience Wednesday morning with an excellent rendition of Wm.Tell. M. O. Billings, commonly known as "Josh" left Saturday night for his home in Marion. He will engage in journalism. Mr. Billing's departure is mourned by the Phi Psi and a large number of other friends. New Spring Hats, the Latest Stylesat Abe Levy's.

The members of our musical faculty, assisted by Misses Mable Gore, Ila Williams, Georgia Brown and Bertha Starr, will give a concert in Newton to-night. We are glad to see our musical department gaining such prominence throughout the State. It is another good way to widen the influence of the University Miss Inez Taggart was elected to the position of associate editor of the COURIER, Tuesday. As is well known the University has for the last week been agitated by rumors of another paper fight. A few men who honestly believe that the Courier has been too close in management have been urged on by a small number of agitators to interest themselves in the formation of a new paper. These agitators are well known throughout the University. They are always present when the hellbroth of college politics begins to boil and are always ready to stir it to its deepest depths, provided, they have nothing to loose. To meet the requests of those who wish to put the Courier on a broader basis, to take stock and to secure a representation in its management the Courier increased the number of its shares to eighty, pledged itself not to allow any two fraternities to purchase a controlling interest. More than this, it agreed to give to the non-fraternity element five editors on its staff and one business manager, and to guarantee to the same element twenty shares of stock. This was entirely satisfactory to those who honestly and fair-mindedly wished to see the Courier placed on a broader basis. But these agitators who have nothing to loose and everything to gain, they persist in keeping the pot boiling. Nothing would appease them short of a complete surrender of the company into their hands. The company made concessions not because anyone had a right to ask it (because these malcontents have never invested a cent or given an hour's time in bringing the Courier to its present position) but because it is willing to give all factions or parties, who desire it, a representation. But nothing could satisfy the agitators, "down with the Courier" has been their cry, and this is really their only desire. So they propose to hoist another paper on the students and the businessmen. Behold the magnanimity of these men who cry out so loudly for the poor suffering "barbs." Behold it, and bless them; a fraternity man for editor-in-chief, two fraternity men for business managers! Wonderful generosity!! Wonderful philanthropists, struggling for the rights of oppressed humanity! And only the editor-in-chief and two business managers to pay them for their labors. Now to the students and business men we say: Every cent that you put into this new paper is so much thrown away and only continues a wretched fight. The Courier has the backing of the students, AND ONCE FOR ALL, BE IT KNOWN, IT IS HERE TO STAY. It will not yield to any agitators, nor is it afraid of the buldozing or bluster of any new paper. Do not be afraid to give your patronage to the Courier, for as Dr. Lippincott has said "it is a good paper and a credit to the University," and we say "it is here to stay." Athletics Again. + - + This is an old subject, we know, out with us it is a much neglected one for all. In another part of the paper will be found a notice concerning the formation of a State Collegiate Athletic Association, Mr. Parker, of Ottawa, is working the matter up and wishes to correspond with students of other colleges. We hope that some one here will try and develop the project in K.S.U.and get her students to interest themselves in it. Aside from a few fitful and inefficient efforts we have been woefully negligent in the matter of athletic training. But, on the other hand we do not wish to run to the extremes of many eastern institutions and make athletics of first importance. We do not wish to see an athletic deluge, but simply a refreshing healthy shower. Again it often happens that the training is of benefit to a few men only and to those who need it least. Of course there will always be some who can neither be influenced nor driven to take part in athletic sports. Counting these out, there ought to be provision made, and sports enough arranged so that not only the giants but even the puny weaklings who need training most, will have ample opportunities. This, it seems to us, it is possible to accomplish by interesting the students in various directions -base ball, foot ball, lawn tennis, rowing, running, and other things. This will give all a chance, and still not destroy the possibility of making experts. Nor is it impossible to keep up excellence in studies while building up this essential department of college life. Prof. Nichols says that a student can do two things well. He can keep up his studies and athletics, or studies and journalism, or studies and society, two things he can do well but not three. Now if by entering into this State Association we can awaken a lively interest in K. S. U., by all means let us enter into it. Anything which can arouse Kansas colleges to the importance and desirability of making athletics a prominent feature of college life should be cheerfully supported. The New Regent. Governor Martin has appointed Chas, S. Gleed as a regent of the University in the place of Hon. Geo. R. Peck, whose term has expired. While we cannot but deplore the loss of such an able man and excellent regent as Mr. Peck, we rejoice that in the fitness of the selection of his successor. Mr. Gleed, although not a graduate of the University, was for a long time a prominent student. Since leaving the University he has always taken a lively interest in its affairs and has done all in his power for its advancement. He has been one of its foremost and ablest champions. Those who have tried to injure and weaken this institution have found in him an opponent powerful and ready. Outside of the faculty, Mr. Gleed has done more than any man in the State to advance the University's best interests, to make her influence wide-reaching and to silence and suppress her enemies. No more fitting or generally satisfactory selection could have been made; for no one in the State knows better the real wants of the University nor has a more heartfelt sympathy with her in the great work of educating the youth of the State. We extend our congratulations to Mr. Gleed and to the University of Kansas. Honors. So if parents do not hear that their son has won a contest or received a faculty appointment they need not necessarily be alarmed, for his work may equal and even excel that of his more fortunate (?] classma It is amusing to read our state exchanges and see how many "highest honors" there are within the gift of the faculty. Every time that any recognition whatever is taken of a student by the faculty, that student's county paper immediately chronicles the surprising fact that he has received the highest honor that the University can bestow. And it frequently happens (according to these county papers) that there are as many as four or five leaders of a single class. The truth is that honors (so called) in college are often gained like honors in the outer world, by scheming and chicanery, by external dazzle and not internal worth. Many of the brightest and most faithful students gain no applause, win no laurels, do not appear on Commencement day and are not widely known. This happens sometimes because they do not push themselves to the front, sometimes because they are not able to speak fluently in public and often because they are not rewarded according to their deserts. We think that in K. S. U. too much prominence is given to public speaking. There is no way but this of winning honor and distinction. Six or seven prizes for speaking and not a single one for scholarship! And this too in an age when oratory is declining and passing out of use. More than this, there is not a single essay prize offered. Everything is turned toward oratory and declamation. This is not right. Scholarship, not oratory is the object of this institution and everything should be done to stimulate its growth. Let us give more attention and recognition to the worth and value of high scholarship. At a meeting of the Courier Company Tuesday, W. A. White handed in his resignation which was not accepted. Mr. White has proved himself a faithful and efficient editor and it is not the policy of the paper to exclude good men from its staff on account of their fraternity connections. This being the only reason for the resignation the company very wisely refused to accept it. The resignation of Miss Agnes Wright, who has served on the staff since the opening of the year, was accepted. Miss Inez Taggart, who represented the Orophilian society so ably in the joint contest, was elected to fill the vacancy. The following resolution was also passed: "The Courier Company invites, as it always has, the co-operation of all students in the University and is willing to sell its stock to any and all students. And further, if after the sale of its sixty shares of stock there be a demand for more, it is willing to increase the number of shares to eighty. But will not sell to any two fraternities enough of the eighty shares to control the company." This resolution was passed to meet the demands of those who fallaciously think that the Courier wishes to be monopolistic in its management. The above resolution gives to such persons a chance to re-organize the paper on a broader basis if they so desire. We do not wish to be continually advocating impossible plans and projects, but there is a change in the curriculum which we would like to see made. That is to abolish the present system of chapel rhetoricals and substitute in its stead a system of class orations or discussions. The present plan is good enough for those who have some natural ability, and a large amount of self confidence and control. But for some it is the keenest kind of torture to be obliged to appear before the students on the chapel rostrum. Moreover it is not the wish or desire of many to become expert public speakers and the present system forces such into a training which they do not care for. There is not to-day a great demand for "swell front" orators, but there is a wide field and excellent opportunities for men who are able to present their thoughts in a simple straightforward manner, clearly and concisely. Now a system of class rhetoricals would cultivate this kind (and it is the true kind) of oratory. Let the students of each class, where the subject would permit, be given some topic and present his views thereon before the class. The professor in charge could look over his manuscript or outline and give him aid in their preparation. The class would criticize and approve. This would induce all students to make as creditable an appearance as possible and would do away with rant and cant. But you say, "how about those who are really desirous of becoming public speakers, and wish to engage in the ministry or law professions?" This plan, we think, would benefit them also. But there are ample opportunities for them, aside from the class performances. There are public contests which are open to all and which always furnish opportunity to those who are desirous of practicing on a long suffering public. This plan is followed in many of the foremost institutions of the country and, we believe, would be a success if tried here. The Dixon Club held a very interesting meeting Friday night. Smith Curry was elected president; W. W. Russ, vice-president; H. White, secretary; Branine, treasurer. An interesting debate was held on Woman's suffrage. This club is doing good work in a literary way and we hope that it will be eminently successful. A. G. Menger's is Headquarters for Boots and Shoes. In test I C.

We don't blame you young man, we have a certain weakness ourselves in that direction. The Butler Colleqian has introduced something decidedly original in college journalism. We refer more particularly to the way they have of reading proof. We acknowledge that is original and all that, but it books conical at the same time to see the pages of a publication marked over with corrections. We hardly think that originality of this sort is to be desired. We are pleased to place the Fisk Herald upon our exchange list. We were much struck with certain parts of the article in the last issue entitled "Girls be Dainty," but as our exchange editor is incapable of understanding such subjects, the matter has been referred to our local who is a virtuoso and the article will doubtless be properly reviewed in our next issue. We are pleased to acknowledge the receipt of the University Quarterly for February. The Quarterly is much larger than any previous copy which we have received. It seems to be a first class magazine. We suppose that "American and Other Judicial Systems" is a splendid article, though we are frank to confess that we did not read it. If the Holvaid would take upon itself an appropriate garb and come out centennially, it would be a decided relief to a patient public. Don't you think that Beecher's grade while at college is well enough known to the college world without you dragging it out again? And as to the number of American students in the University of Berlin, you are sadly mistaken, the number you give was started on its ceaseless course through the college press nine years ago last December and its course is only half begun. The Western School Journal for February is on our table with its usual variety and value of contents. We speak of it here with commendation as a magazine which will be prized by any subscriber, whether teacher, superintendent or school director. It will be a help in the school room, in the family, in the study. There is no trash clap-trap or wadding. Every article counts, every department its object, and every phase of school work has attention. We are proud of such a magazine as a Kansas enterprise in the west; and it is, moreover, clearly in the front rank of school journals in America. The regular issue is about 7,000; it is edited by H. C. Speer, who is thoroughly in sympathy with teachers' needs and wants. The subscription price is only one dollar a year and we have no doubt the publisher will be pleased to send any teacher a copy on application. Last week we published by the way of an advertisement a note picked up in the halls, and requested the owner to call and claim it. Last Wednesday one of the sweet young creatures who grace our halls, sailed up to the sunset-headed blonde who cares for the local end of this great fireside favorite. The young lady had blood in her eye, and after making a few wild passes at the russet locks of the reporter, she began to complain way up in G minor to the following effect: "I suppose you think its awfully smart don't you to print that note? But it ain't so it ain't and I won't stand it so I won't." Our hired man tried to quiet her and told her it was all right that no one knew who wrote the note, but she wouldn't have it that way at all She said. "Oh you needn't try to smooth it over, you know as well as I do that you just printed it for menness. There wasn't anything in it that I cared for any how, but I was just mad to think I took advantage of a poor defenseless girl. Oh you needn't laugh now. You don't hurt me one bit. I don't care if you print all the notes I ever wrote for there is nothing in them," and here she wheeled around and left a wild-eyed young man wondering what had hit him. The following resolution has been adopted by the faculty: "No student absent or failing to pess more than one of either semi-annual or annual examinations, will be allowed to continue as a student of the University without special vote of the faculty."

Mrs. Fletcher is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta and the young ladies present were of that fraternity. It was a good suggestion that was made by the Journal's University correspondent that some of the smaller debating clubs ought to form a new Oread. There is a good room and everything ready. Work it up, work it up, it's a good idea. Miss May Webster returned Tuesday from the Kappa Alpha Theta convention. She reports a delightful time.

Local. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH 11, 1887. The readers of the Courier will be pained to learn of the death of Charles D. Dean, of the class of '84. Mr. Dean has been in poor health for some months and has been at Las Vegas in the hope of recovering his old vigor. Dean was one of the best known graduates of the University. He was business manager of the Courier for one year, after which he held the same position on the Review. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi. He always had many warm friends who will mourn his loss. The Courier extends sympathy to the bereaved family. The literary editor is at work upon an ode to the nunnery and offers a town lot in Tonganoxie for four words which will rhyme with nunnery or six words rhyming with K. S. U. Send in your work early and accompany it with 60 cents to pay for postage and packing on the Courier to your address for one year. This offer is only good for a week. LAW. Prof. Snow rather startled the Freshman botany class by his class marking. Forty-two fell below 70 and a large number fell below 50. There is just one thing to do: Brace up. W. S. Wolley,'88, is again able to attend his classes. Dr. Summerfield heard his classes again last Tuesday. King, '88, will leave the University soon and go into the book business. Wm. Kinnon is on the sick list. An unusual amount of sickness has fallen to the lot of the Laws this session. L. L. Davis, Law, '84, has charge of a branch office at Wyandotte. He is in the employ of Schover, who does a large general abstract business. In moot court Wednesday night a bank question was argued by Bradley & Frolick for the plaintiff and Pentzer & Dickerson for the defense. The whole evening was spent in the discussion. The decision was for the defense, Dr. Summerfield presiding. A petition has been circulated among the Laws and signed by all of them, requesting that the Law books in the general library be removed and placed in the Law library in the third story. This is no more than right and the petition ought to be granted. The Seniors have been a source of considerable annoyance to the Juniors by interrupting them during recitation. One of the Seniors explained that they wanted to learn the Juniors something, and was completely squelched by the suggestion that they learn their grammar. Athletic Notes All the fraternities have entered the league and will compete for the championship. W. T. Reed will pitch for the Betas, and Bowker, their latest initiate, will be catcher. No. 26. Geo. Lewis and Jep Davis, the champion catchers of the University, will form the Phi Delta battery. V. L. and F. H. Kellogg think of organizing a tennis team to play any similar team which can be formed in the University. The Phi Psis loose White, their catcher. He goes next week to Topeka to work in the A.T. & S.F. offices. Howard Campbell will catch for the nine. A paper is circulating for subscriptions to the K. S. U. nine. The professors and students have already subscribed $50. Now is your chance to show your loyalty and your interest in athletics. The Courier believing that the subject of athletics ought to be made more prominent, will furnish weekly bulletins of the games and will keep a schedule of the standing of the different nines. Jep Davis was elected president of the Inter-Fraternity league; G. W. Harrington, vice president; O. B. Taylor, secretary; J. B. Lippincott, treasurer. The first game comes off a week from to-morrow. With fifty-four fraternity men practicing constantly, with a number of others practicing for the University nine, it will be a matter of some surprise if we cannot form a nine that will be superior to any college nine in the State. The base ball association was organized Tuesday. Jep Davis was elected captain and S.T. Gilmore secretary. The members of the nine will be selected immediately and practice will be begun. We will be ready to meet Washburn in a short time. Last Friday afternoon about thirty of the students in German met in Oread hall to talk over the possibility of forming a German society. Through the energy of Prof. Carruth there has been a great interest awakened in German. This interest had assumed such proportions that it was deemed feasible to start such a society. Prof. Carruth spent some time in explaining what it would be well for the society to dc. After it was ascertained that the sentiment of the students present was in favor of a German society, a motion was made to form the society. As a result of this motion, we can say with pleasure that K. S. U, has a German Society which will undoubtedly be a credit to her. The following program will be presented in Oread hall this afternoon between 2 and 3 o'clock: Declamation, Mr. Goddard; reading, Miss Crotty; oration, Mr. Finney; music; essay, Mr. Buckingham; reading, Mr. Nickel; music; declamation, Miss McKinnon; oration, Mr. Esterly; music. The fraternities all appointed committees Saturday night to meet in joint conferee and arrange an interfraternity league. All the fraternities will enter and put nines into the field. A series of fifteen games will be played and each nine will play one game with every other nine. The nine winning the greatest number of games will be declared champion of the league. --- K. K. G. Party. One of the most delightful social entertainments of the season was given last Friday night at the residence of Miss Etta Hadley, on Louisiana street, by the young ladies of the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity. They were in costume and after a delightful mysterious time alone, they received a number of their gentlemen friends, whom they overwhelmed with hospitality. Misses Atwood and Williams enlivened them occasionally with numerous exquisite instrumental and vocal selections. When the party broke up at a late hour the boys left feeling that Miss Hadley and her charming assistants have few equals as entertainers. There will be a preliminary contest before a committee of the faculty, for the selection of contestants in the final contest for the oratorical prize, on Saturday morning, April 30. All meaning to enter must leave their names with Prof. Marsh at least a week before April 30. It is advised that Prof. Marsh be consulted about the subjects chosen. Orations of not above 1,000 words in length. By the generosity of Messrs. Grovenor, Field & Hargis, and J. S. Crew & Co., three prizes are open to all regular students in the collegiate department of the University, namely, one prize for the best oration, one prize for the best essay, one prize for the best declamation. Prizes for 1887 All essays for the essay prize must be handed to Prof. Marsh on or before Friday, May 13th. Each essay must be at least 3,000 words; and must be handed in under a pseudonym, together with a sealed envelop bearing the pseudonym on the outside, the true name within. A similar preliminary contest in declamation, under similar conditions will be held on Saturday morning May 7th. Personal. We understand that the Tennessee street girls have organized a ball club and purpose to challenge their brothers. If it is necessary they say they will defend the reputation of the K. S. U. against the insulting taunts of the cornfield canaries from Washburn. W. E. Borah has left school, N, D. Bowker is the new Beta. W. S. Franklin went to Topeka Tuesday.

Miss Grace Fields, of Leavenworth, arrives Thursday for a visit with Miss Emma White. Miss Zena Freeman returned home Monday evening after spending a few days with her sister Lillie. Miss Birdie Atwood is spending a few days at her home in Manhattan, Kansas, celebrating her birthday. Harry Raymond, a last year's graduate, was recently elected president of the Lawrence Bicycle Club. Mrs. S. E. Spencer will give a lunch party Thursday in honor of her guests, the Misses Gremmell, of Topeka. Manie Manley delivered a very interesting paper last Friday evening at the Unity Club. Subject: "Army Life on the Frontier." J. B. Van Vliet, '86, is now attorney for the B. M. & A. railroad. This speaks well for Van and for our Law department. Will Thompson, an old student, was in Lawrence last week. He is at present engaged in the life insurance business in Wichita. Society again draws a long breath and attendance at Chapel is daily increasing since it has been discovered that the last Freshman posted has spoken his little piece and the frantic appeals from Patrick Henry and Daniel Webster have been consigned to innocuous desuetude. Will Little has not been heard from since the terrible affray at Coronado, in which Leoti men were killed, and he is still in the land of the living. The Phi Delt ball club is composed of Jep Davis and V. L. Kellogg battery, George Lewis, O. C. Billings and H. E. Finney on bases and the other position filled from the fraternity. Prof. Canfield gave his fourth hour class a very interesting talk on the life and services of Henry Ward Beecher. He showed especially his distinguished services during the rebellion, and the great work he did in changing the sentiments and feelings of England towards the north. Miss Agnes Clarke, '84, is still pursuing her course in Spanish. Since graduation Miss Clark has made a specialty of this language and has given it her almost undivided attention. She was for some time in Mexico and while there had the advantage of residing with one of the first Spanish families. In this way she became thoroughly acquainted with the language colloquially.

In another part of the paper will be found the announcement of the prizes for 1887. We are glad to see that they are so many in number, and glad to change our statement of last week and say that there is one prize for essays. But we do not believe that the conditions for entering the declamation and oratory contests have been laid in the best way. Nor is this our individual opinion merely. In conversation with a number of students we find that there is not general satisfaction with these conditions, and fear lest the number of contestants will, on that account, be small. It is very disagreeable and embarrassing to appear in a preliminary contest before a committee of the faculty. Many students say that they would prefer to be beaten in a public contest than to be excluded in a preliminary one. Moreover the present plan will give an unavoidable publicity to the defeat of the excluded. Which is, to say the least, not pleasant. We believe that the old plan is far better. Let those wishing to enter the contest in oratory, hand in their orations and let the selections be made made from this number. Then appoint for the contest in declamation, those whose marks are the highest in chapel rhetoricals, and who have not been selected for the contest in oratory. In this way a greater number would undoubtedly try for the contest in oratory, as there would be no knowledge on the part of others that they had made the attempt. Pride in all of us is quite strong, and it would not be very pleasant or gratifying to be excluded in a preliminary contest. Monday night Prof. Canfield closed the tariff debate with a very able address. This debate has attracted wide notice and has drawn out a great deal of ability on both sides. We, however, have no hesitation in saying that Prof. Canfield's address on Monday night was the brightest and best of the whole series. He answered and refuted the arguments of his opponents clearly and forcibly. He also answered various questions which were put to him, proving his statements by facts and statistics. He talked for two hours and a half and held the closest attention of his audience throughout. We do not wish to be partisan in our sympathies, but we honestly think that Prof. Canfield was more than a match for any man on the debate. The Jeffersonian Club is to be congratulated on its enter- It is asserted upon the best of authority that at a certain house where several popular young ladies room, who are the recipients of more than the usual number of callers, Friday evening,a placard bearing the inscription, "Standing RoomOnly," is hung upon the front door when the parlor is full. This is a good scheme, but another plan has suggested itself to us which is to have the parlor duly platted off and place a plat where seats could be reserved several days beforehand, thus preventing any confusion and the unnecessary, grinding remorse and muffled profanity incident to the present method. The Dead Fighter They tell me that old Oread has gone to smithereens; that there remains "none so poor to do her reverence." I don't propose to write her funeral oration. I dont intend to discuss her demise. She may have been assassinated by the fraternities, prodded to death by the barbs, or hoodooed out of existence by the faculty. She's dead. There's no use buckering over the bones. I know of a woman whose husband followed a profession, which, however lucrative, did not enjoy the unlimited approbation of his neighbors. These neighbors were very sensitive over the frequent disappearance of their horses, and one morning the lady in question found the sharer of her earthly joys in the public road with a forty-one calibre hole through his body. Horses thereafter enjoyed undisturbed nights, but nought could comfort the disconsolate widow. Over the grave of the dead she erected this strange emblem of her affections: the statue of her husband in his boots, with drawn revolver, and the expressive inscription, "He Died Fighting!" Such a monument and such an epitaph would be a most fitting tribute to Oread. Oread was born fighting; fought while she had life and fought to death. Without fighting it would not have been Oread. Well do I remember my first day in old Oread's hall. The fight on that occasion was over the question of a stool for the organist. Miss Mamie Woodward had thumped the flappery keys of the old organ week after week without murmur and without a stool. When Noah Webster devoted his great life to the production of a lexacography, it was without any fixed purpose of utilizing the book as an organ stool; and while every Oread felt in his soul that a dilapidated dictionary on top a measly, rickety chair, was hardly the proper thing for a lady to sit on, nevertheless it would have been infamous to buy a stool without fighting about it. The next meeting day was given to a fight between the Crusaders and the Saracens. One wanted the society to open with prayers, and the others thought they could fight just as well without prayers as with them. The Saracens were in a majority, the prayers were abolished and the Chaplin went to meet the organist's dictionary. I can't say in just what order the fights came thereafter. They were of various magnitudes and degrees of intensity. The smaller the subject, the harder the tussel. Herb. Humphrey, who as a natural consequence, afterward developed into a lawyer, was the toughest fighter of the batch, and loved a fight for no other earthly reason than because it was a fight. If after a brisk skirmish he had won the majority of the society to his opinions, he would switch off to the opposite side and increase the turmoil by denouncing his own previous statements. The Kikkabe fight was one of the most bitter ones. It was over the question of the Oreads' appropriating ten or fifteen dollars to the am- nual magazine. Kikkabe and Oread are both dead; but inspired by the memory of that battle many a future statesman will buckle up his trousers I mean gird up his loins—and push forward to victory. The most memorable fight of all was the Ingersoll fight. It spread from Oread to Orophilian, then swept up the non-society students, gathered in the faculty, whirled up the college papers, whiske i in the Lawrence preachers, agitated the State press and almost enveloped the legislature. I might add that a few flies, like the Baldwin Bakery, buzzing on the outside, were caught in the whirlwind. It all began by the Oread committee selecting Bob Ingersoll to deliver the June oration, and the society after a lively scrimmage ratifying it. It threatened to involve the States when the eloquent Bob replied to a letter of the Chancellor begging him not to come by saying that he "did not care to stir the slightest ripple in anybody's theological pond if the owner thereof objected." The warriors of Oread were many; Meservey and Crowder and Riffle and Young, and dozens of others I might mention, did their names carry any significance to the new generation of students. Dainty expressions, such as "liar" or "fool" occasionally over-stepped decorum, and Marquis of Queensbury rules were now and then substituted for the by-laws. But with all its fighting, Oread was the society of the University. Ay, fighting made the society. It sharpened tongues, brightened wits, burnished epigram, supplied repartee, strengthened its contestants, armored its warriors and prepared for the battles of life. Oread was a society of youth and beauty, of vigor and intelligence. While the chumps, cudmudgeons and cadavers of other societies were mumbling over musty lore and resurrecting graveyards, Oread was discussing present issues and projecting new enterprises. Her quick blood was ever bubbling at the highest point, or, surcharged with heat, boiling over. She was made up of those who roll the world on its axis,—the "rustlers." They may steal the music from her halls, rip up the dust thickened matting, beat down her rostrum, tear from her walls the busts of her patron saints, Shakespeare, Webster and Lincoln, but the name of Oread will live as dear to her old sons and daughters as in the day of her proudest glory. College Deviltry. SMITH. That is something of which the present generation of K. S. U. students know absolutely nothing. How much mischief has been done by our students in the past three or four years? Mighty little I can tell you. Barring the one night, when thirty brave and noble youths got a rope around Joe Grover's neck and hauled him into the mysteries (?) of Beta Kappa Chi, I do not remember one single instance in which "our boys" went beyond the bounds of propriety. As for that Beta Kappa Chi scrape I can say this: each man therein concerned was braver and more important (in his own estimation) than if ne had been through the fight at Bull Run, and each man will quit talking of it when the Usher Guards quit telling their Parsons experiences—and that is never. Poor Joe, it was a hard initiation and then what a bitter disappointment not to be fully initiated. Life is not so hilarious in K. S. U, as it was in the good old days of Twitchell and Soper and Meservey. Never again will our honored chancellor and regents go to attend a funeral long before the corpse is ready; never again will "Brother Bones" swing from the chapel skylight to the cadence of feminine squeals and trills; Hutchings and Haworth will not pound one another over the head with bootjacks again, for Haworth is a dignified professor, and Hutch is far above standing guard over a body of marauding students attired in calico gowns and sunbonnets. Ralph Waldo Emerson Twitchell, what a flood of recollections that name brings back to me. As I remember him now "Twitch" was the ideal college boy (that we read about). Handsome, smart, pleasant, full of fun, he was a popular leader among the students. I fear much that the faculty voted him a depraved scalawag. He did often cause the hair on the professional head to raise in horror at some wild prank or other and then he was absolutely irrepressible. He is married now and a good citizen, none the worse for his fun I will wager. There was a host of other good fellows here in the days gone by, who did not spend all their spare moments on the girls, but who managed to keep fun going; they are scattered to the winds now, but they will not be forgotten by those who knew them. Butler, Soper, Beardslee, Dana Lawrence, Ed Meservey with glasses, and hair which would no more lie down than bristles on a caterpillar, and a host of others. They have all gone and their places are filled by fellows just as good, maybe, but not college men as much as frat men. No spirit of college loyalty exists now. Each frat stands alone always distrustful of all its neighbors and never willing to acknowledge the good qualities of a man in a rival frat. All the latent energy now goes to getting "honors" for a frat brother and not to having real jolly good times. The so-called college deviltry did no harm—not a bit. Our school always was free from the evils of hazing as practiced by eastern college men and the gradual dying out of anything which tends to build up college spirit is to be regretted. College "deviltry" tended to build up college spirit—it worked to strengthen college friendships and these help to endear old alma mater to the student. WILL C. U. LATER. Quite an amusing incident happened in the clerk's room this week. A prep rushed into the office and inquired for the telephone. After he had rung the bell, the clerk hearing an uncommon noise, on investigation found the beautiful prep endeavoring to break the top off the transmitter. And deploringly asked the clerk to unlock that thing so he could get at its mouth to talk. high west and to n u mexch centi criti mami menu "spr ance ble our A. G.

It is very amusing to a looker on to notice the way the Niagara Index man has of doing up a number of his exchanges. Although a large per cent of the college press have been criticising him severely, the fact remains that very few of our exchange men are his equal. Although he "springs" some pretty hard things on us once in a while, he more than balances it by many other commendable features. Would that many of our Ex. men were like him. The semi occasional handbill sailing under the appellation of the Hesperian, although it probably worthily represents the third rate institution where it is published, is a disgrace to college journalism. The milk-brained individuals whose names head its inspired columns, doubtless are fair representatives of the students at the Nebraska State University, but they are impotent failures when compared with the general run of collegiate editors. The disgusting burlesque upon intelligence who controls the exchange column of the above mentioned journalistic what-is-it could doubtless husk pumpkin and eat clabber as well as any of his associates, but when he assumes the editorial pencil the ignorance he displays is only equalled by the tiresomeness of his efforts. Further answer to recent allusion to us by the Hesperian we deem unnecessary. The Pacific Pharos man had better "come off!" In regard to that photo, we will say that we have been honored by the receipt of photos from the entire staff of the magazine in question from the able and accomplished exchange editress down to the editor-in-chief, so you can easily see that your chances are hopeless. Besides we hardly believe that the good taste usually displayed by the aforesaid exchange editress would allow her to have anything to do with a person having anything to do with a paper having such autragaus caulers as the Pharos, much less with an Egyptian mummy which the caulers of the Ilini immediately reminds one of. So looking at all sides of this question we think we are safe in saying that we still have the inside track; however, if you are at all desirous of further prosecuting your suit, we will pledge ourselves to "leg for you," and by this means you would probably attain a high position in the young lady's estimation. We publish again this week a notice from the College Prohibition Association. We are willing to publish these notices although not in sympathy with the association. We do not believe that college students ought give their association its present name. An Inter-Collegiate Temperance Association would be well enough and might do some good. But these students have organized a Prohibition Association which is a very different thing, for prohibition is not temperance by any means. Of prohibition these gentlemen know practically nothing, nor do they know that it is the best method of suppressing intemperance. This is our criticism on the association, it has subscribed to a doctrine, instead of searching for a method. Mid-Summer Oratorical Con- tests. Under the auspices of the National Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Association, a series of Oratical Conferences will be held during the long summer vacation in connection with the great temperance camp meetings. Any student of any American College or Professional School—including next Commencement's graduates—may enter these contests. For full particulars, address the Secretary, Walter Thomas Mills, Wooster, Ohio. Mr. Mills has cancelled all other business engagements (including his work on "The Voices Staff") in order to devote him self entirely to the work of this ascitation. He will continue in the lecture field with headquarters at Wooster, Ohio, his home, under the auspices of this association. In making dates he will give his preference to College towns. For the month of March he will be engaged in Michigan. His tour among the Colleges, accompanied by Rollo Kirk Bryan, Michigan's marvelous "Chalk Talker," has been crowned with success in every instance. At Rochester they organized two College Clubs in a single evening. Their Masonic Temple Meeting in New York City was crowded to overlowing and was accorded the most complimentary notices by the New York Press. Steam Dye Works! LAWRENCE Strong. a.

Last Friday evening Kappa Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi (better known as I. C. Sorosis) gave a large and elegant reception in A. O. U. W hall. The young ladies were all attired in "Kate Greenaway" costume and the effect produced was very charming and picturesque. Harry Riggs and Miss Emma Hynes lead the grand march. Dancing was the principal feature of the evening; Bell's First Regiment Band furnished the music. The refreshments were served in the hall on side tables. A number of visiting friends of the I. C.'s were present. The entertainment was a decided success and a credit to the popular and pleasant young ladies of Kappa Alpha chapter. Those present were: Miss Alice Penfield, Emma White, Hattie McCague, May Page, Eva Miles.

Accordingly the Phi Pais and Betas will meet in the first game, which will probably be played the 25th, a week from to-day. The Phi Gams and Sigma Nus will play the second game Saturday, the 26th. The K. S. U. nine must come first, everything else in the way of athletics ought to yield to it. Up to the present time it has not practiced as much as it should have. The Inter-Fraternity league is all right, but it must not absorb all our interest. The University nine ought to be working with might and main. The contributions show what the faculty and students expect. Considerable consternation was caused among the different fraternity nines, Wednesday morning when Campbell and Simmons appeared with Sigma Nu badges. These gentlemen will form that fraternity's battery. Campbell is an old player, a fine catcher and as a batter has no superior in the University. Simmons is said to be an excellent pitcher. Sigma Nu pools have risen with perceptible rapidity since this addition. Orophilian hall, Friday, March 11, '87. The society was called to order and after the usual preliminaries, followed the installation of J. A. Halligan, president, and Rosa McMurray, secretary, and other officers. The program was unusually interesting. Reading by Thomas Hunt, essay by Ella Funk, declaration by Flora Fincher, extemporaneous by Joseph Rolston, oration W. T. Caywood. After recess, the question, Resolved: That municipal woman suffrage will result in much general good for the State, was debated, affirmative May Churchill and Lillian Bell; negative, Flora Fincher and The Orophilians Ella Funk. The judges decided for the affirmative. The debate was highly entertaining not only because of the novelty or a ladies' debate, but also on account of the lively and able manner in which they handled the question. Since the ladies have so creditably shown their argumentative abilities we hope that hereafter they will take an active part in this feature of the program. After the debate Miss Gertrude Hunnicutt voluntarily favored the society with a declamation with great credit to herself. After the usual routine of business the society adjourned for one week. It is Rumored That "Smith" was in the city last Sunday. That Mulvane is a famous wolf hunter. That every fraternity man can play base ball. That the Kappa Alpha Thetas will give a party. That a lady member of the faculty will be preceptress. That the entire Senior class will receive appointments. That marks in the classes aren't as high as they "used to was." That Jep Davis is trying to monopolize all the offices in the University. That the German society is very interesting, though few understand what is said. That a man who gets a first grade will have to do some studying and know something. That Funston in a seersucker is the greatest "ham" of the season, and takes them all in. That the young ladies complain of the "yaps" who continually keep up the serenading racket. That White and Wheeler will have a duel in the near future, if any further slurs are cast upon the Baldwin maidens. The dock was clear this week and in consequence, the moot court adjourned without performing any business. Harris, '87, has been acting as deputy for County Attorney French, during the latter's absence from the city. R. W. Ball,'S7, visited at his home in Metakoria the first of the week. LAW. The Juniors held their election to select their representative for class day, on Monday. J.W. Roberts was chosen and will, accordingly, receive the skull from the Seniors. The Seniors have not held their election as yet, but will in the near future. It is to be hoped that "Law day" this year will be as interesting as it was last. Personal. O. C.

It is this fact that induces us to notice and explain an editorial in the last number of the Review, which, while containing some truth, is so presented and distorted that it conveys, as we doubt not its writer intended, a very false impression. Before entering into the matter we wish to call the attention of the reader to the fact that while in entire possession of all the facts of the case as he so clearly shows, the editor of the Review first charged the Courier with being in debt $75 or $80, when the debt was $48.50. This is enough to show the animus which has controlled the editor of the Review in this matter. He claims that his first statement allowed "some latitude." It was a generous "latitude" indeed that increased a debt to nearly double what he knew was its real amount. "For a long time previous to the 28th of November last the Courier company had owed its publishers $78.50." The writer might have gone further and said that when the present Courier company organized it assumed $200 indebtedness, $100 of which it paid off almost immediately and thus handicapped, it began the publication of a weekly paper at great expense and at a dull season of the year. Mr. H. A. Cutler, the publisher, greatly annoyed the managers of the paper by continuous delays in issuing, and put them to considerable additional expense. On account of the debt of the Courier company to Mr. Cutler, the managers kept the paper with him as long as possible, but it became evident last fall that a change must be made, unless Mr. Cutler would issue the paper on time. This he failed to do. Accordingly, the managers settled for the expenses of the year and paid Mr. Cutler $30 on the old account. With a promise to pay the remainder of the debt as soon as possible, the managers placed the Courier in the hands of Mr. Davis, who promised to issue it regularly and on time. The managers paid Mr. Cutler the remainder of what was due him a few weeks ago, holding $18.50 back as a recompense for the trouble and expense to which they had been put by Mr. Cutler's repeated failures to keep his contract. We will add that in so doing they treated Mr. Cutler very generously as it cost them not less than $5 a week for everyone of his failures which could not have been less than eight or ten in number. So much for the Courier debt and the way it has been paid. And if per chance this closes a chance for the Review to create a sensation, allow us to suggest that they give a few extracts from the account books of their publishers. Or we could find the editor a book in which his own accounts are recorded that might prove even more interesting to an expectant public. The marking system has evidently received some consideration from the faculty, and in consequence the standard has been perceptibly raised. First grades will hereafter convey some meaning and be of some value. Profs. Marsh, Snow, Canfield and Dr. Lippincott in recent markings have clearly indexed this disposition on the part of the faculty. To good thorough, accurate students this will be a source of much satisfaction. They will no longer be placed in the same category with the superficial and careless who have the ability to be wordy and seem bright thereby. And to those who are ambitions for good grades, but are not fond of hard work, we would whisper gently in their ears, by way of warning, those sweet and consoling words: "Brace up,""Brace up." As a general rule the faculty have been very liberal in allowing students privileges about the University, and have confided in the good sense of students to restrain them from abusing their freedom. In most cases this confidence has not been unjustly given, but there is one particular in which students have gone, as it seems to us, beyond a proper limit, and that is in the use of the telephone. Or rather the fault lies with the students' friends in the city who seem to think that because there is a telephone at the University, they are at liberty to call up any student for any trifling matter at any time they please. So the matter goes, and is a source of great annoyance not only to the clerk but to the professors and students themselves oftimes. Students should remember and should urge it upon their friends in the city not to use the telephone except in case of urgent necessity, or if their friends would like to talk with them let it be done at 1 o'clock, when it will interfere with no one. A little care and thoughtfulness on the part of students in this matter would make things run more smoothly, and secure to them the use of the telephone when they really need it. --- Our fraternities seem to stand on a mors substantial common ground than ever before. They are beginning to recognize that the aim of fraternities is a common one and that it can be better gained by harmonious and united action, than by selfish isolation and jealous suspicion of others. This fact is not only beneficial to the fraternities, but it raises the general tone of the institution. The present year has been remarkable and creditable, as regards fraternity hostilities and fights. And it must be conceded that it has made things far more pleasant for all concerned. The united efforts of the fraternities have been favorable to this recognition of a common interest. The joint banquet and the present Inter-Fraternity league are efforts in the right direction. They not only make better fraternity men but they also make better and broader men every way. We are glad to notice the increased interest which is shown in the literary and technical societies. A reference to our directory will show how numerous and important these societies are and how much good they can do, if properly managed. The day when general literary socii- eties can claim a monopoly is past. With our advanced growth we are drifting into special lines of work and consequently need societies for the propagation and furtherance of such work. We are pleased to chronicle the organization of the new German society and hope that it will support its excellent beginning. We are pleased also to note the progress of the Lime Kiln and Dixon debating clubs, and wish to remind our readers that these societies are open to all students, and those wishing to get practice in the art of extemporaneous speaking ought to ally themselves with one or the other. --- MR. EDITOR: Many complaints have come to us recently through several of our most popular young ladies concerning the intrusions of a set of would-be society men during the past few weeks. It seems that we have a certain class of men in our University who have no idea of propriety whatever. As not one of them is able to carry on a decent conversation, they usually call on a young lady in gangs of from two to eight teen and though they are previously informed that she has other engagements, and though her parlor is occupied by other company, these weak-minded individuals will enter when common sense would tell them they are not wanted, take complete possession and there they will remain for hours, springing their silly jokes on each other and giggling at them until all others present are entirely prostrated with disgust. We deem it wholly unnecessary to mention any names as this gang is too well known, having been the laughing stock of the University for the past two or three years. From this, to together with other compliments which have been made through the columns of this paper we hope they may see the evil of their ways. If however, they persist in making these intrusions, we will be compelled to take more decided steps in order to protect our society against them. "Jay Hawker." Translation from William Tell. Translation from William Tell. The following translation of Melchthal's soliloquy in Wilhelm Tell was written by a member of the present Senior class four years ago. The Freshman German class will appreciate it at this time. A noble gift of heaven is the sunlight to the eye. For with it every being lives: Without, all creatures die. The flowers in the meadows green Turn happy to the light; But he must sit disconsolate Throughout eternal night. Enjoyment of their beauty To him is not allowed, And sunset tints on ice crags Are manted in a shroud, 'Twer better, in God's providence, That he e'en there had died; For living and not seeing Is death personified. Why gaze on me with pity? For I am blessed with sight, But cannot throw—ah, that I might- One pencil of the light Which to my eyes comes as a flood Which makes all nature bloom, Acrass his path in darkest shade, To cheer him in his gloom. Subscribe for the Courier. College World. It is very interesting to notice the different subjects upon which college students write for their different college papers. Picking up the last *Tuftonian*, we were much struck on an article it contained entitled "Funerals." Now this may be all right and proper, but it does seem to us that a paper, especially so noted a one as the *Tuftonian*, could obtain articles more suited to itself; we would not be at all surprised to see articles of this kind in the Indiana Student, Hillsdale Herald or The Hesperian, but we marvel at the *Tuftonian* being unable to find something better. The Cynic, evidently being of a more cheerful disposition comes out and gives us some invigorating "Thoughts About Lone," in which the writer gives us a scientific discourse on this very interesting science, and calls upon the young men of the Universities to turn aside from the beaten paths of the usual fields of labor and devote their well trained faculties to this grand work, and reap the rewards which the world is waiting to bestow upon them in return for the help of which it stands so much in need. The scientific method of "loving," is all very well theoretically, but practically it is a failure, and judging from other people's experience we are willing to take the old method, believing that it will be found to be much more satisfactory in every respect than any scientific method which could be devised. Speaking of this subject reminds us of an article which appeared in the *Burr* some time ago. We hope we will be excused for giving the following extract, as it only shows the class of literature with which its columns are generally filled: "Without the lightning flashed. Within, in the topmost chamber of a lofty tower, Constantina, wan and pale from grief and hunger, had thrown herself upon the floor and given way to a passionate flood of tears. At this moment the door opens and the adorable Bertram speeds into the apartment. For at least seventeen minutes neither can find breath to speak. "At last, dearest," says Bertram, "and have I found thee in very truth?" "Such seems to be the fact," murmurs Constantina, with inexpressible pathos. While they speak, a vivid flash of lightening darts from the angry heavens. "Fly with me, my dearest." cries Bertram. Constantina rushes hastily about the room, gathering up a few necessaries. At last, with her darling grasped tightly in her teeth, she signified her readiness." This is the same paper which published a very thrilling story some time ago in which the beautiful heroine wept for some reason or another, and in describing it the writer makes the statement that "her tears fell with a sickening thud." We expect to see just such expressions as this when ever we open the Burr and we are never disappointed. And now come the Seniors with a written review in International Law, showing only three first grades,eight seconds,and four thirds.

A great many 'guess they will study law', others 'haven't fully decided,' and so the time goes on until commencement, and still they have laid down no line of action. Does it not show a lack of ambition for a young man to spend four of the best years of his life without definite plans for the future, without knowing in what manner he will apply his education?" From a limited personal experience and a pretty extended observation, we are inclined to take the negative of this proposition. The average boy, when he enters college, is too young to make up his mind as to the profession or business he is best fitted to follow through life. He is liable to be led off by whims or false sentiment, or by the influence of companions who are predestined to make brilliant successes in some particular calling settled upon by their parents or friends. The average boy needs the four years of schooling or its equivalent to develop the latent talent and slumbering genius of his nature. Many times a boy will be led into the study of higher mathematics through outside influence to the neglect of languages, when his natural bent is towards the latter. He must find out the mistake, and this he cannot do until experience, and that independence of thought and action which comes with age and respon-liabilities comes to the rescue. There is a good deal of false reasoning, too, in the talk about 'apprenticing' to a trade, as is done in some of the European countries. In the old days when men went on foot and in stage coaches, it would do to grind out a few years in manifold drudgery of an imposed task, but in these days of quick communication the news of the day at almost every hour, and the opportunity for boys to see and know what is going on around them and athouaandfold better than the fathers did twenty years ago—we say emphatically, give the boys in the matter. Let him look and choose. If he has a mania for robbing birds' nests and littering his room with them, put him in the way of becoming a naturalist. If he be forever whitening and trying to do something which he cannot do for lack of means, let him visit machine shops of various kinds. If he wants to know how a thing can happen at midnight and descriptions and pictures of the event be given to fifty millions of people before 7 o'clock in the morning, let him visit a well organized printing office. A few doses of this kind of stimulant will show what path of life the young will be likely to travel with the best success. By all means give him the opportunity to select and when he has made his choice encourage his efforts and do not grind him down by a servile apprenticeship in which he takes no interest and where nine-tenths of the time is spent in making money for his 'master' without benefit to himself. Neither should the boy himself, if his means do not absolutely force him into it, force himself into a settled line of action. —Clay Center Times. Next week the series of Inter- Fraternity games will be begun. A slight admission will be charged, only enough to defray expenses however. Now we beg that no exhibi- tion of penuriousness will mar the pleasure of these games. Don't let ten cents destroy your interest in the manly sport, and kill or dwarf your college spirit. So far everything has gone auspiciously with the laudable endeavor of making a good showing for K. S. U. in athletics. The professors have contributed liberally towards the association's equipment fund, the students generally are giving it their hearty support, and many of our loyal young ladies have with their fair hands added their names to the list of contributors. Now, for the love of K. S. U., don't let any little, penurious, mean spirit keep you away from these games. If you are a fraternity man you ought by all means to be present. If a non-fraternity man, it will do you good to go and laugh at the awkwardness of the raw players—and there will be a good many such. As numerous papers have been calling for additions to the following, we have at last concluded to yield to solicitations of our friends by adding a verse. Let the good work go on: Cream and peaches once a week. Kiss your girl on the right-hand cheek Apples green and apples dried, Kiss her on the other side. Kliss her on the other side. [Henry Ward Beechar. That evinces wretched ta-te: Take y u· girl about the waist, Lift her on her pink toe-tips, And print it squarely on her lips. [T. De Witt Talmage.] Seize the maden in your arms, Blushing with her tempting charms; And it would, we think, be snugger, Oft to kls and tightly hug her. [Rosie Conkling.] Place one arm around her neck. While the other her neck entwines, Draw her gently to your breast, Kiss her now a dozen times. N. B. The above is guarantee' be satisfactory in every respect. LAWRENCE Steam Dye Works!

Lime Kiln Club was well attended last Saturday night and an excellent program was rendered. Mr. Hunt gave an essay on "Alcohol." E. Martindale, extempore on "Skipping Classes." Then followed a general debate on the question: Resolved that from the present indications, prohibition will be a national issue within the next ten years...Mr. Hunt leading the affirmative and Mr. Virtue the negative.

CAYWOOD Committee The news of the death of Mrs. J. D. S. Cook was a cause of profound sorrow to her many friends in the city and University. While a resident of Lawrence, Mrs. Cook made many friends and was universally beloved. Her daughters, Misses Josie and Hattie, have the heartfelt sympathy of their student friends in this time of bereavement. The Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity, of which both are members, passed the following resolutions: WHEREKAS, Our Heavenly Father, has in His infinite wisdom, deprived our dear sisters, Josie and Harry Cook, of the loving and tender guidance of their; her, by removing her to the beautiful home above, and WHEREAS, We desire to extend to them a deeper sympathy in this the hour of their death. Resolved, by Kappa Chapter Kappa Alpha Theta. That, in the death of Mrs. Cook we have lost one of our most honored friends, a woman of pure, noble character and true Christian life. That, as a token of respect to her memory, a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved sisters and published in the journal *Kappa Alpha Theta*. Also in the journal of *Kappa Alpha Theta*. The German society had a very interesting meeting last Friday in Oread hall. The program as given in last week's issue was carried out without a break. The following officers were elected: Henri Nickle, president; Anna McKinnon, secretary; Mamie Manley, critic.

The young ladies should remember that they will be made perfectly welcome at all the games in the fraternity league. Nothing would please or encourage the boys more than to have a large number of ladies present, their applause will go farther towards making the boys take an interest in the many sport than anything else. No profanity or indecent language will be allowed on the ground. Reserved seats will be provided, no admission charged, everything made lovely and agreeable. Please remember this and favor the games with your presence. Tuesday evening last the Musical Department of the University gave the best concert with which it has yet favored us. The entire program was given by the pupils of Prof. Aldrich and was as follows: Oh Mio Fernando [La Favorita]... ...Donizetti Miss Ila Williams. Oh Rest in the Lord...[Elijah] Miss Georgia Brown. Miss Georgia Brook Cantata—King Rene's Daughter... Henry Smart From Miss Williams the audience expected a fine rendition of her selection and they were in no wise disappointed. When we say that she has never done better before a Lawrence audience we but echo the general sentiment of those present. Miss Georgia Brown was a favorite with Lawrence people before and Tuesday evening she certainly lost none of her admirers. The hearty applause she won sufficiently attested the pleasure she conferred upon her audience. The cantata was the chief feature of the evening. The parts were represented as follows: soprano, Ila Williams; Mezzo-soprano, Birdie Starr; contralti, Mrs. Prof. Nichols and Georgia Brown. The chorus was made up of the other young lady students of Prof. Aldrich. Among so many good numbers it seems almost unfair to give particular notice but we can scarce forbear remarking upon No.4, a duet by Misses Starr and Brown and chorus; No.8, a solo by Miss Williams and No.11, a duet by Misses Starr and Brown supported by the chorus, as worthy of special commendation. Prof. Aldrich deserves great praise and credit for the entertainment. Upon his leadership its success very largely depended and the warm reception the cansata obtained was most complimentary to him. Prof. McDonald, by his skillful accompaniments greatly enhanced the excellence of the concert. The Science Club meeting of last Friday, March 18, proved a very interesting one, as usual, although two of the members whose names were on the program were absent, one on account of sickness, the other being in Atchison. Paul Goddard gave the "Scientific Review," calling attention especially to an experiment, described in La Nature, for the artificial production of water spouts. The following persons were elected to membership: Ed. Esterly, B. The Science Club. Prof. Nichols called the attention of the club to an article in "Science," by Mendenhall, on "Characteristic curves of composition." This caused quite a little discussion and ended in an action by the club which will be reported later if it bears fruit. Prof. Sayre gave a very interesting talk on the subject of digestive ferments. The club then adjourned to meet Friday, April 1st. L. Hill, F. C. Keys, A. A. Patterson and Russell Whitman. There are but few of the students who have an idea of the jolly times the Science Club has, not only at its "blow-outs," but even at its regular meetings; for instance, several week's age, the program committee arranged instead of a regular program, a general discussion on Spiritualism, and were fortunate enough to secure a firm believer in Mystic Spiritualism, to argue one side of the question, and the meeting proved both amusing and profitable. As for our "blow-outs," I will not attempt to describe them but simply suggest that you ask some member about Prof. Snow's dance or Josh Billings' discoveries in archaeology or Nichols' and Bailey's "cider race"—just pump any of the members and you will find that Science Club reminiscence is not a dry well. Science Club excursions have earned a well deserved reputation and there are several now under consideration that will not detract from it, one to the smelting works at Argentine, one to the Pen at Leavenworth, and one to the Santa Fe shops at Topeka. There is but one consequence of this state of affairs and that is, as is becoming evident, that our members have a deep attachment to a club with which so many pleasant memories are associated. The class in History of Civilization will continue its work into the second half term on account of lack of time for its completion. Last week's Chicago Inter-Ocean contains a letter from Wm. T. Horniday, United States Taxidermist and author of "Two Years in a Jungle," a very valuable scientific book, on our shelves, in which in relating his experiences in his late hunt in Montana for zo-ological specimens he refers to "W. Harvey Brown, of the University of Kansas, as his worthy assistant and right bower." Quite an honor conferred on a member in our Natural History department. The students who hold passes on the various railroads are going around bewailing their fate of not being able to see their ma so frequently after the first of April. In case the University allows a vacation on Arbor day this year, some steps should be taken to have a proper observance of that day by the setting out of trees on our campus and beautifying it with shrubbery, etc. A little expense and care on the part of the authorities and students in that direction would have a remarkably good effect. The faculty evidently mean business in regard to thorough work in the various departments, five gentlemen of leisure have been given their walking papers on account of non-appearance for duty. Personal. John Prescott visited in Topeka last week. Flowers are in bloom on the college campus. M. L. Nelson the latest addition to Sigma Nu. History of Civilization examination begins Monday. H. D. Smith is the latest addition to Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. The Freshman Germans are being examined on the First Act of Tell. Dan Crew and Miss Kenyon will sing this afternoon in Athenaeum. J. W. Roberts, of the Junior Law class, was initiated into Sigma Chi, Saturday. A. B. Mulvane has left the University. He will have charge of a ranch in New Mexico. Fred A. Stocks, one of the brilliant young men of '84, is Republican candidate for mayor of Blue Rapids. H. B.Hamilton preached last Sunday in Olathe. His sermon was very highly spoken of by the press of that city. The logic class has been undergoing a siege of quizzes the past week, under the guidance of Dr. Williams. The lists of members of the different classes are on the bulletin board. They must be thoroughly correct before they go into the catalogue. Half-term examinations take place next week and already the students are burning mid-night oil and are seen wandering about the halls with books in their hands and sad looks in their eyes. By the advance sheets of the new catalogue, the Senior class numbers twenty-five; eight of its members are Modern Literature; nine Classics; six Scientific; one Latin Scientific; one Civil Engineer. This is as large a class as has ever graduated. The Junior class, however, is small, having only sixteen members at present. W. T. Reed has left school and will go into business in western Kansas. Mr. Reed has been in the University four years and during that time he has always been prominent by reason of his energy and ability. We doubt not that these characteristics will win him success in the business world. Harry E. Riggs has left school to accept a position as Assistant Division Engineer on the Burlington & Missouri River railroad. Mr. Riggs has been a student of the University for many years, and since his graduation from the Collegiate department has been pursuing a course in civil engineering. He leaves behind him a host of friends both among the Profs. and students who rejoice at his prosperity and hope that success will greet him in his new departure. Miss Inez Taggart is quite ill. Ask Swope about Davis $ ^{1} $ dream. Gilmore has a new way of catching ball. Beware of Funston for he is on the war path. Pearl Murray, ofBaker University, visited K. S. U.

Mamie Woodward and Mary Miller's voices were a great addition to the chorus Tuesday evening. Mr. Nelson, of Independence Kansas, was initiated into the Sigma Nu fraternity, Saturday evening. Misses Lillian Dudley and Emma Dunn made a very able debate from the chapel rostrum Tuesday morning on female suffrage. Three o'clock Sunday afternoon, at the Congregational church, Miss Rudolph will lead the Y.W.C. A., also give a select reading. All are invited to attend. Subscribe for the Courier.

The new catalogue will be out shortly after April 1st. It will be of decided interest and will merit careful attention. We are informed that many important changes have been made, that the number of studies has been increased, and that a large number of electives have been added. It will undoubtedly show our progress and improvement in every branch and department. The College Fraternity and the College Paper. The pre-eminent characteristic of the relations of college fraternities, is rivalry—rivalry, intense, fierce and oftentimes foolish. This rivalry is the cause of much that makes fraternities objectionable, for to it can be traced many wringlings, many fights for positions and honors, so-called, which throw the college into turmoil, bringing the participants into ridicule and disgrace and cause the waste of much valuable time. It is the cause also of much that makes fraternities desirable and their workings beneficial. For it stimulates endeavor, and induces to excellence in every field of student life. It arouses a.n. honest ambition, promotes scholarship and makes immorality disgraceful. To increase and strengthen this healthy side of rivalry and to destroy its evil effects ought to be the aim and ambition of every true and loyal fraternity man. And at this point comes the question, what is the duty of the fraternity man who edits the college paper? In the first place it is his duty to make the paper as good as possible. The better the paper, the greater the honor both for himself and for his fraternity. This is, of course, his first duty as an editor. But now how far ought he to be influenced by fraternity considerations? "Not at all," some one may say. But we do not agree with him entirely. We think that a fraternity ought to derive some benefit from its having an editor, otherwise there would be no stimulus to attain such positions, and fraternities would have no in succession to prepare and train their men for them. The fraternity has a right to expect that her representative will give her fair and honorable mention in the paper which he edits. But she has no right to expect that this shall be done to the exclusion of others. No one has a right to expect to profit by untruths or even truths glossed over with false inferences. But it too often happens that editors try to serve their fraternity by bringing it into constant notice, by lauding its every deed, and casting ignominy on the effects of others. And it is such a course that heightens the rivalry of the undesirable kind. Such a course moreover, is not only foolish, but it defeats completely its own purpose. For the readers of a paper will soon learn the tricks of such an editor and will grow distrustful of him, so that in the end even truthful statements will meet with unbelief. Every fraternity, as well as every person, has a right to expect that its achievements shall be duly chronicled, and truthfully stated. These achievements are often the result of much honest toil and patient endeavor and to treat them slurringly, or as of no consequence, is cruel and malicious. If the editor's fraternity stands at the head in accomplishments and honest victories, its leadership will only be the more creditable if the strength, vigor and ability of its rivals are shown in their true light. It is far better to be the strongest among giants, than to be a giant among pigmies. An editor, unfortunately and unavoidably, has considerable power in his hands, to misuse this to the detriment of others, to willfully wound the feelings or to misrepresent the actions, shows an envious, unkind spirit and a disregard of the rights of other persons. Thus for an editor in the report of a public exercise to laud unduly the performance of his fraternity brother or of his friend, and to mention sparingly and grudgingly the equally creditable effort of another often causes ill-feeling and makes a wound which is not soon healed. Nor does the injury stop here, it reaches to parents and friends and causes them to think that the one in whom their interest centers is not doing himself credit nor gaining an honorable position among his fellows. It is only by treating every fraternity and every person fairly, honorably and justly that the fraternity editor can make rivalry healthy and beneficial, rob it of its bitterness and make his own work a credit to himself and his fraternity. The Athaeneum. The Moot Senate, whose members were formerly Orophilians, believing that all members should be given an equal chance to appear on program, that the University of Kansas should support two literary societies and that unless there are two societies there will in the course of time be none, and further, that Orophilian society has at present so many members that all do not get the benefit of enough literary practice, determined to organize a new literary society. Oread hall was accordingly secured and a committee appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. This committee reported last Friday; a constitution and by-laws embracing the best features of both the Oread and the Orophilian constitutions was adopted and an election of officers held. Mr. C. L. Smith was elected president; J. A. Mushrush, vice president; C. D. Nutting, secretary; Thos. Hunt, treasurer; E. M. Munford, critic; L. A. Baldwin, musical director; Mr. Norris, reporter; C. E. Riggs, sergeant, and Williams, Branine, and Sharum, executive committee. An interesting program will be rendered this afternoon and all are cordially invited to attend. Those wishing literary practice would do well to join the society as it has been organized for the purpose of improvement and for good hard work. The society has adopted the name which appears at the head of this article. An Important Change An Important Change. The faculty have abolished chapel rhetoricals and have substituted in their stead a system of class rhetoricals. This change goes into effect next year. In the future chapel exercises will consist only of religious services. These will be in charge of the professors, each acting six weeks consecutively. The door will be opened but once. No addresses will be delivered by visitors at these exercises. When, however, we have a visitor whom it would be profitable for the students to hear, they will be called together and the time will be taken from recitations. The Freshman and Sophomores will give declamations before their respective classes. The Juniors and Seniors will probably give orations, but this is not as yet fully decided upon. Further, the curriculum will be arranged so as to permit members of the Junior and Senior classes to elect a course in elocation. It is the intention of the faculty to make this course very thorough and to include in it both voice culture and phonetics. It may happen that it will not be possible to open this course next year, but the year following will find it in full operation. These changes are important and will, we believe, be beneficial. They are another indication of progressive spirit which pervades our faculty. The March number of the Shield, the official publication of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, was issued from the Journal job rooms last Thursday. This is the last number under the charge of Kansas Alpha, as by order of the General convention the place of publication has been changed to Troy, Ohio. The Shield has been in the hands of the Kansas chapter for two years, and during that time has improved greatly, until it is now one of the best society organs. It has always been of a high literary standard, and has happily combined prudence and energy, conservatism and progress, in its management and course. E. C. Little has been editor-in-chief; W. C. Spangler, business manager; Solon T. Gilmore and Cyrus Crane, associate editors. These gentlemen deserve the thanks and congratulations of every Phi Psi for the able manner in which they have performed their duties. The March number is a fitting one with which to close the management of Kansas Alpha. — Lawrence Journal, March 10. Elsewhere in the paper appears an account of the new literary society which has been reared on the ruins of old Oread. While we cannot but lament that the name ofOread will be known only in the history of the past we believe that it is better that it disappear entirely than prolong its existence when it became useless. The Atheneum is organized and run as a regular literary society and will hold its sessions Fridays at 3 p.m. in the hall which was formerly Oread's. It is now the privilege of all students to join it and to enjoy its benefits. Undoubtedly the only way to secure good results from the work of such societies is to keep up an interest in the societies themselves. This, it is very difficult to do when one society has the entire field to itself. The members of the new society realize this and they propose to make their meetings as interesting as possible, and their programs superior to those of any other society. The society is full of earnest, enthusiastic young men and they are determined to make their ventures a success Oread is dead—long live her successor—the Atheneum. Our musical department is doing splendid work and the benefits such work accrue not only to the University but to the people of Lawrence as well. It is no small undertaking to furnish, free of cost, so many concerts of such excellence as ours have been. And it must be gratifying to the department to know that its efforts are appreciated. Profs. McDonald and Aldrich have labored assiduously to make the department a success, to raise the musical standard throughout the city, to interest the people in choice, classical music. That they are succeeding is too evident to need the statement. No entertainments at the University are so popular or bring out such large audiences as these concerts. EDITOR COURIER:—It has always seemed to me that the COURIER, with its great liberality and non-partisanship, should include among its editors, a representative of the Pharmacy department and perhaps one from the Laws, they could give to the collegiate world in general, a knowledge of our progress. These are two very important departments in the University, and it is but just to the departments and also for the welfare of the "great weekly" that they should be represented. The Pharmacy department is now in its second year and I'll venture to say there has never been a department in the history of the University that has in so short a time reached comparatively as high position and grade as it now occupies, even in spite of the jokes and kicks from students of the other departments. Yet it has always pleased me to see what class of collegiate have been loudest in their "funny" (?) remarks concerning the students of this department. These defamers are all noted for one thing—a minimum amount of brain and maximum amount of mouth. The fact is that whenever the Pharmacy class has come in contact with collegiate students in the same class the Pharmacy students have in every case led the class. Now this is saying a great deal considering the opportunity that the most have had, while some of the collegiates they came in contact with have reached the Junior year, and it is presumable that a student who has become seasoned three or four years in college should be able to surpass one just out of a drug store or from the farm. Lately I heard the remark: "There are some of the Pharmacy students, who are pretty good students." And I will venture to say that before another year has passed they will be recognized as the equals of those of other departments. To Prof. Sayre the department will be indebted for the high position it is soon to reach. It is only a question of time, for nothing can be accomplished in a day worthy of mention. The department has asked to be recognized on Commencement, the same as the Laws, and it is but just that it should, as there it can show to the people what the department is doing, and also a representative of the boys she sends out to take part in one of the most important, as well as influential, occupations in the State.

We cannot agree with a writer in a recent copy of the Hesperus in regard to the discussion of political subjects in college papers. It seems to us to be ridiculous to argue that these articles tend to aid a student to form his opinions. During our entire experience with the college press we have never been able to see a political article that was hardly worth the reading. The same might be said of three-fourths of our newspapers, edited by men whose business it is to think and write about such subjects. And to argue that college students are able to write political articles, which will broaden his personal views and enable him to better form his political opinions, is absurd. We do not except even the editorial is the last Hesperus, relative to the payment of royalties to ditch companies. But yet the Hesperus seems to think that such articles as this "will launch the youth of to-day into the sea of citizenship." We desire to return thanks to the Butler Collegian for giving the Courier such prominence in its last issue, in which the Courier receives three different notices. The Collegian, as well as a number of other exchanges, seems to be well pleased with Prof. Marsh's article on the marking system. The action taken by the faculty of the University of the Pacific in suppressing the Pharos, is only another example of the narrowness of some of our college faculties. As long as the Pharos saw fit to tickle the members of the faculty by taffying them, the Pharos was a model college paper and an honor to the institution, but when the Pharos men became tired of "guying" their faculty any longer, trouble began. We would advise the students of the University of the Pacific to follow the example set by the students of the University of Missouri, that is, to start a subrosa paper, and give vent to their feelings in regard to the matter. The faculty will soon be willing to welcome the old paper back, as was the case in the example just cited. Where under heavens the faculty of any institution obtain the right of dealing so arbitrarily with a college paper is more than we can see, and any body of students that will submit to it cannot possess any great amount of spirit or pluck. The Pharos was one of our brightest exchanges and we earnestly hope that it may resume publication at an early date. We publish the following communication which we received the first of the week: DEAR SIRS:—The faculty of the University of the Pacific, having denied the students the privilege of expressing their opinions on college topics, the Pacific Pharos Publishing Association, believing that a students' organ should be permitted to express, in a respectful manner, the sentiments of the students, have decided to suspend the publication of the Pharos indefinitely.

The first of the series of InterFraternity games was played this afternoon between the Phi Psis and the Betas, resulting in a score of 17 to 18 in favor of Phi Kappa Psi. There was a large number present there being a good attendance of ladies. BETA THEta : I. The first seven innings resulted in a tie.

The game progressed without a jar or trouble, though it was closely contested, and the enthusiasm manifest by the audience was extreme. It was especially interesting at the beginning of the last half of the seventh inning when the score stood 11 to 11. At the close of the game the Betas proposed three cheers for the Phi Psis, which was returned by three for the Betas, after which three cheers were given for the ladies present. In the midst of the present athletic excitement, let us not forget that Commencement is approaching, that visitors and friends will then expect to see the University at its best, that as they are pleased or displeased the University will gain or loose, that in order to please them, good hard work is necessary. Too much delaying, too much putting off, will fill our exercises with weak efforts and poor productions. It is high time that Commencement work be taken in hand. In this connection we wish to urge on all students the desirability of entering into the competitive contests. The field is open to all collegiate students and three prizes are offered. This gives all a fair chance. No one can complain for no favor can possibly be shown. These contests have always been one of the pleas-antest features of Commencement week. They furnish also an excellent opportunity to acquire drill and practice in speaking. Don't let your personal pride keep you from competing for one of the prizes. It is no disgrace to be beaten, possibly in the eyes of other judges you might have been the winner. Remember — "Nothing risked, nothing gained." THF WOLRD. s Crackers Nicer For rTea Partv.

It will undoubtedly show our progress and improvement in every branch and department. The College Fraternity and the College Paper. The pre-eminent characteristic of the relations of college fraternities, rivalry—rivalry, intense, fierce and entimes foolish. This rivalry is cause of much that makes frater- objectionable, for to it can be many wanglings, many fights itions and honors, so-called, throw the college into turmoil, the participants into ridicule face and cause the waste ofible time. It is the cause h that makes fraternities and their workings benefi- stimulates endeavor, and o excellence in every field life. It arouses a. honest promotes scholarship and immorality disgraceful. To he and strengthen this healthy rivalry and to destroy its evil sought to be the aim and amn of every true and loyal frater- man. And at this point comes the question, what is the duty of the fraternity man who edits the college paper? In the first place it is his duty to make the paper as good as possible. The better the paper, the greater the honor both for himself and for his fraternity. This is, of course, his first duty as an editor. But now how far ought he to be influenced by fraternity considerations? "Not at all," some one may say. But we do not agree with him entirely. We think that a fraternity ought to derive some benefit from its having an editor, otherwise there would be no stimulus to attain such positions, and fraternities would have no in晋升 to prepare and train their men for them. The fraternity has a right to expect that her representative will give her fair and honorable mention in the paper which he edits. But she has no right to expect that this shall be done to the exclusion of others. No one has a right to expect to profit by untruths or even truths glossed over with false inferences. But it too often happens that editors try to serve their fraternity by bringing it into constant notice, by lauding its every deed, and casting ignominy on the effects of others. And it is such a course that heightens the rivalry of the undesirable kind. Such a course moreover, is not only foolish, but it defeats completely its own purpose. For the readers of a paper will soon learn the tricks of such an editor and will grow distrustful of him, so that in the end even truthful statements will meet with unbelief. Every fraternity, as well as every person, has a right to expect that its achievements shall be duly chronicled, and truthfully stated. These achievements are often the result of much honest toil and patient endeavor and to treat them slurringly, or as of no consequence, is cruel and malicious. If the editor's fraternity stands at the head in accomplishments and honest victories, its leadership will only be the more creditable if the strength, vigor and ability of its rivals are shown in their true light. It is far better to be the strongest among giants, than to be a giant among pigmies. An editor, unfortunately and unavoidably, has considerable power in his hands, to misuse this to the detriment of others, to willfully wound the feelings or to misrepresent the actions, shows an envious, unkind spirit and a disregard of the rights of other persons. Thus for an editor in the report of a public exercise to laud unduly the performance of his fraternity brother or of his friend, and to mention sparingly and grudgingly the equally creditable effort of another often causes ill-feeling and makes a wound which is not soon healed. Nor does the injury stop here, it reaches to parents and friends and causes them to think that the one in whom their interest centers is not doing himself credit nor gaining an honorable position among his fellows. It is only by treating every fraternity and every person fairly, honorably and justly that the fraternity editor can make rivalry healthy and beneficial, rob it of its bitterness and make his own work a credit to himself and his fraternity. The Athaeneum. The Moot Senate, whose members were formerly Orophilians, believing that all members should be given an equal chance to appear on program, that the University of Kansas should support two literary societies and that unless there are two societies there will in the course of time be none, and further, that Orophilian society has at present so many members that all do not get the benefit of enough literary practice, determined to organize a new literary society. Oread hall was accordingly secured and a committee appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. This committee reported last Friday; a constitution and by-laws embracing the best features of both the Oread and the Orophilian constitutions was adopted and an election of officers held. Mr. C. L. Smith was elected president; J. A. Mushrush, vice president; C. D. Nutting, secretary; Thos. Hunt, treasurer; E. M. Munford, critic; L. A. Baldwin, musical director; Mr. Norris, reporter; C. E. Riggs, sergeant, and Williams, Branine, and Sharum, executive committee. An interesting program will be rendered this afternoon and all are cordially invited to attend. Those wishing literary practice would do well to join the society as it has been organized for the purpose of improvement and for good hard work. The society has adopted the name which appears at the head of this article. An Important Change. An Important Change The faculty have abolished chapel rhetoricals and have substituted in their stead a system of class rhetoricals. This change goes into effect next year. In the future chapel exercises will consist only of religious services. These will be in charge of the professors, each acting six weeks consecutively. The door will be opened but once. No addresses will be delivered by visitors at these exercises. When, however, we have a visitor whom it would be profitable for the students to hear, they will be called together and the time will be taken from recitations. The Freshman and Sophomores will give declamations before their respective classes. The Juniors and Seniors will probably give orations, but this is not as yet fully decided upon. Further, the curriculum will be arranged so as to permit members of the Junior and Senior classes to elect a course in elocation. It is the intention of the faculty to make this course very thorough and to include in it both voice culture and phonetics. It may happen that it will not be possible to open this course next year, but the year following will find it in full operation. These changes are important and will, we believe, be beneficial. They are another indication of progressive spirit which pervades our faculty. The March number of the Shield, the official publication of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, was issued from the Journal job rooms last Thursday. This is the last number under the charge of Kansas Alpha, as by order of the General convention the place of publication has been changed to Troy, Ohio. The Shield has been in the hands of the Kansas chapter for two years, and during that time has improved greatly, until it is now one of the best society organs. It has always been of a high literary standard, and has happily combined prudence and energy, conservatism and progress, in its management and course. E.C.Little has been editor-in-chief; W.C.Spangler, business manager; Solon T.Gilmore and Cyrus Crane, associate editors. These gentlemen deserve the thanks and congratulations of every Phi Psi for the able manner in which they have performed their duties. The March number is a fitting one with which to close the management of Kansas Alpha.—Lewrence Journal, March 10. Elsewhere in the paper appears an account of the new literary society which has been reared on the ruins of old Oread. While we cannot but lament that the name ofOread will be known only in the history of the past we believe that it is better that it disappear entirely than prolong its existence when it became useless.

Bear. The judges decided for the negative. The society adjourned for one week. Clgar cases at Smith's. Our "David." Saturday afternoon,—and down the dusty thoroughfare of our booming city, a small compact, and square built figure was seen wending its sturdy way. As it approached our point of observation, it developed into the form of a young man with a mildly ferocious cast of countenance and a very familiar swagger. He seemed to be on the lookout for some one, for his small eyes snapped restlessly and his glances were directed continually to the right and left. Suddenly, without a moments' warning and with no apparent hesitation, he stepped up to a strapping negro and accosting him with, "I believe you are the man I'm looking for," seized him by the third button of his coat with one hand and with the other, holding a pistol a foot long under the terrified darkey's nose, turned half around, saying "move and you're a dead man!" The negro, scared to death, the young man gradually realizing the presence in his hand, of a black, "white elephant," growing every second blacker and more formidable, formed an interesting center to a crowd of admiring Athenians. "Brocklesby, oh Brocklesby, I've got him, I've got him!" rang out it the oppressive air from the lungs of the small young man and that august minion of Lawrence culture, starting from his slumbers on a dry goods box, hastened across the street that he might releive the "David" of his darkey-ed Goliath. "To the dungeon—twas in vain he sought for mercy" the mighty man of valor with stern and rigid step marched off with growing pallor, the man of dusky hue, t was done, and David with placid mien, walked calmly through the crowd, the cynosure of all eyes. Verily, we do envy him in his deed and wish for him, that he may never feel the cutting edge of razor knife or tongue.
