Athletic Notes.
Jep Davis umpired the first game and Hickey the second. Both gave entire satisfaction.
Phi Delta Theta versus Sigma Chi at base ball grounds this afternoon at 3 p. m. sharp. Admission 10 cents.
The K. S. U. Association pays sixty dollars for the use of the grounds until June 10. The fraternities will pay half of this sum.
Our base ballists are in high glee over the fraternity games. They say that they are an excellent training school for the K. S. U. nine.
Don't be partisan in your applause. It is unfair and discouraging to the players when one side receives all the applause. Applaud all the good players and be fair to both sides.
The ladies were present in large numbers at both games. They seem to take a lively interest in the diamond contests and are not at all afraid of the weather.
"The Topeka papers speak of the Washburn ball club as the boss club of the State. The University will furnish them some good material to rub up against as soon as base ball season opens."—Herald-Tribune.
Excitement was at white heat in last Friday's game when the score stood 11 to 11 at the end of the sixth inning. The seventh was played without a run on either side. The eight innings settled it, but the score ran up on account of the darkness.
This afternoon (April 1st) the third game of the series will be played between the Phi Delt and Sigma Chi nines. Prof. A. G. Canfield will umpire the game. The players are arranged as follows:
March 25. March 26. April 1
1 vs 2 3 vs 4 5 vs 6

pink string garter combination was a model of beauty and ingenuity. The cavalry gauntlets attracted much notice. The Phi Gams have worn the neatest uniforms up to date. The boys all looked well, however, and the showing of calves was quite creditable considering the depressing influences of a long winter.
Gilmore and Postlethwaite appeared to especial advantage and looked "plump and fat."
PHI GAM VS. SIGMA NU.
The second game of the series was played Saturday with a good sized crowd present. During the first two innings both clubs made but one tally in each, and it was thought that the game would be very close. But in the third the Phi Gams took the lead and kept it. The principle features of the game were the catching and batting of Campbell and the excellent field work of Phillips for the Sigma Nus, the phenomenally active work of Deford, Jackson's pitching, and the excellent base running of the Phi Gams. Hickey umpired the game. Curdy and Keyes scored. The following is the number of runs made:

It is Rumored
That we all want a short vacation.
That De Ford hit Harrington in the head.
That some money changed hands last week.
That Postlethwaite is a southern gentleman.
That this afternoon's game is very likely to be postponed.
That Harrington's gauntlets were lined with sponges.
That Jenks was grievously disappointed because no "flies" came into his field.
That some of the Seniors will help to swell the ranks of'88.
That the red-headed men are all "bad" men in the diamond.
past, his wife and three children all being down at the same time.
The only original and irrepressible Jonn L. Sullivan visited his parents at Louisville the first of the week, and while there delivered his famous lecture on the "New South."
That the Freshmen kick because a "prep" has marked their botany papers.
Pentzer, of the Senior class, was visited the first of the week by his brother, a prominent attorney of Wilton, Iowa.
That all good, thorough students are pleased at the new system of vigorous marking.
Mr. Hollingberry, of Lawrence, interviewed the faculty on Monday. He will enter the Junior class next year.
W. J. Jackson, '87, has been having a very measly time for a week
Six of the Seniors formed a court and sat in banc on Wednesday night to hear the arguments of the Juniors. At the conclusion of the trial they were unable to agree and Prof. Green rendered a verdict for the defendants.
LAW.
The next three concerts of the Department of Music will form a series of song recitals by Mr. P. D. Aldrich. They will be given in the University Hall. The first of the series is a recital of German song, the second opera selections and the third oratorio. The first one which was to be given on Tuesday last, was postponed on account of the concert at Plymouth church until next Tuesday evening. A cordial invitation is extended to the students and public to attend.

W. Y. Morgan, local editor of the Lawrence Journal, has resigned his position on that paper and has left for K. C. to accept a position on the Chicago, Santa Fe & California railroad. Mr. Morgan, during his residence in this city, became a student of the University and as editor of the Journal, has won many warm friends both among the business men and students, and his departure is regretted by all. Mr. Morgan has been one of the warmest friends and allies of the Courier ever since its existence. He was in the truest sense its founder. Advancing personally the money to get out the first issue, he has worked and toiled for its welfare both when in its infancy and time of need, and has kept a parental and watchful eye on it during its prosperity. As editor of the Journal, he has been faithful to the interests of the University and of Lawrence. His resignation from that paper will be a great loss both to the proprietor and to the citizens of Lawrence in general. During his connection with University he was considered one of its brightest and most faithful students. He graduated with the highest honors and was honored by the faculty and students. By his loss the University losses a true friend, the Courier a faithful ally and Lawrence a chief advancer of her interests. Mr. Morgan in his new departure carries with him the good will of all, who rejoice at his success and hope that prosperity will greet him in his new undertaking.
Don't forget that the first of the song recitals will be given next Tuesday evening.

Solon T. Williams, '79, is Republican candidate for Police Judge of Lawrence. Williams is a bright, industrious young man and a successful lawyer. We hope that he may be fortunate enough to secure the election, and henceforth be known as "Judge" Williams.
The Senior class at its last meeting resolved that on class day presents and gifts from friends to members of the class must not be brought into the chapel for presentation. They resolved further to petition the faculty to enforce a similar rule on Commencement day. We think that the rule is a good one and should be adopted. These offerings are very nice in themselves and are no doubt, very acceptable to the recipients. But the practice of bringing them in for display before the assembled multitude has in the past been carried to a ridiculous extreme. Immense floral tributes, great bundles of dry goods, whole libraries, gold watches, dressing cases, boxes, bales, bundles and casks have been carried in, tugged, dragged and rolled in and piled up in miraculous pyramids to attract the wonder and astonishment of the beholders. There has been a disposition among the graduates to vie with each other in their display of gifts, this has been followed with many humiliating results. For the prosperous, popular and wealthy it has been well enough, but to many poor and friendless who receive nothing but a rusty agricultural bouquet or a small, tin foil-rapped collection of domestic and door yard shrubs,the contrast is necessarily somewhat painful. While it is pleasant and proper for the tired and over worked Senior to receive the approving testimonials of admiring (?) friends, we think that this public parade smacks of vulgarity and ought to be discontinued.
A Noteworthy Book.
There has recently been issued a book entitled: "Romanism, the Danger Ahead,"* which has attracted considerable attention. The author states the "reason why a Roman Catholic cannot be a good citizen of this republic," and if his statements be true, they are worthy of the most serious attention of all good citizens. The writer lays special stress on the fact that Rome demands the first allegiance in all things to her power, while no true American can acknowledge any higher temporal power than the government of the United States. He says the Roman Catholic church, as at present conducted, is in direct opposition to free government, free education, free thought, and quotes from the papal edicts and Romanist authors to prove his assertions. He tells of the abuses which the confessional necessarily originates and nourishes, and what unlawful powers it gives to the Romish priests. The increasing political power of the Romish church is a menace to our country, not to be disregarded and the assertions in this book, though wide and sweeping, are nevertheless, supported in such a manner as to be difficult of reputation. The book is certainly worthy of careful perusal, and should be read by every patriotic American, be he Romanist or Protestant.

Many students are very anxious for a short vacation of about two days, Arbor day and one day besides. We hope that the faculty may see fit to give such vacation, believing that it would be beneficial. Everyone is quite tired and would like to recuperate a little before the "spring fever" season comes in full force. The half-term examinations have been unusually severe and have called for much hard work and many late hours. A little time for rest and recuperation would accordingly be quite acceptable.
LETTER FROM R. E. HEN-
RY.
A Spicy Description of a Trip to Nebraska.
The City of Lincoln-The University of Nebraska Contrasted with K. S.U.
LINCOLN.
EDITOR COURIER:—Pursuant to promise, I will give you a few notes of possible interest to your readers. My trip from the historic city of the garden State to this dusty metropolis was uneventful in the extreme. A very pleasant night in Atchison broke the monotony of an otherwise dull trip, and onWednes lay morning I embarked in a B. & M. train for Lincoln.
Of all the dusty, dirty, slow, disagreeable rides which I ever took, that six hours' journey was the worst. Two passenger coaches were made to do the duty of five and it was my enviable lot to share the seat of a mountain of flesh who felt that I was an intruder and who tried his best to make me feel it too—I felt!! !! I made a fortunate change however and have succeeded in expanding to my original size. A few miles south of White Cloud the road runs through the front yard of a citizen who has adopted a unique method of getting even with the company. Across the front of his house he has painted a sign, "This family has been wronged by the railroad, don't ride on it." I was sorry for him and I should certainly have taken another road bad my passes not been by the B. & M.—or had walking been good. The road has now put a water tank just in front of his house and stops all trains there, so probably both parties are satisfied.
Nebraska is a level sandy State, without timber except along the streams, so before Lincoln was reached I grew very tired of the monotony of travel. Lincoln is built on a perfectly level plain. There are very few shade trees in the city and no parks or beauty spots. The streets are unpaved and are as rough as can well be imagined. The houses scattered, most of them very unpretentious and ugly. There are a few handsome residences and business blocks and all the public buildings except the University are a credit to the State. The capitol is built of white cut stone, somewhat on the same plan as the State house at Topeka, but smaller and less handsome. I am told that Lincoln is a place wherein mud may be found in muddy weather, just at present I should think that a dust convention was in progress and that all the dust in Nebraska had been invited and was in attendance.
Of the University I shall speak
later on, I do not think my first impression as favorable as it should be. I am unfortunate in getting here during spring vacation, hence I have seen no students. The buildings are far behind ours in size, convenience and beauty of architecture. I have spent most of my time at the sessions of the State legislature and in the library of the Y. M. C. A. The latter is a great resort for the young men of the city. The rooms which are nicely fitted up, consist of a library, gymnasium, bath-room, reading room and chapel, as they are under the charge of a most gentlemanly and pleasant secretary, I have spent much time there and I notice that many go there. Over thirty came in during one hour this morning. Lincoln seems to be a very moral city, having many beautiful church edifices and very few saloons, I have noticed but one or two and I have been pretty well over the city.
The legislature—yes I have been there and it is like most legislatures, idling away its time. They did elect a Senator some weeks ago and they are having sessions every day but they are not working. Old chaps from the rural districts, young chaps from the city, all highly tickled over their honors, such are the Solons of Nebraska. Quite an amusing scene occurred in the Senate this morning when that august body tried to squelch a windy member and he wouldn't squelch, but like Bennett of old Oread, "bobbed up serenely" and spotted over an hour. Last night I was just finishing supper when Arthur Adams walked in and saluted me. We had about as nice an evening as two friends can well spend and I enjoyed it hugely. Adams is on the B. & M. at Wahoo, twenty-five miles north of here. Franklin Rifille, '81, is also at Wahoo.
Frank Oakley is engineering at Sterling, Colorado, and I believe he is headed for Wyoming.
THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA.
The campus of Nebraska State University is a block of land in the northern part of the city of Lincoln. It is surrounded by a ragged edge of stunted cedars which looks as if it were apologizing for being there as a protection to the grass. It certainly is neither useful nor ornamental. The main building which stands in the middle of this campus looks much better on the outside than on the inside. It is a three-story brick building, with central building and two wings, somewhat on the same plan as K.S.U. The central part is surmounted by a tower. The interior is a great disappointment. Low, dirty ceilings, cracked walls, disreputable looking pine wainscoating and the commonest kind of a rough board floor, give the building more of the looks of a badly used common school than of a University. There can be no comparison made with the elegant and commodious rooms and halls of K.S.U. The laboratory is rather the better building of the two, it is certainly the prettiest. It stands southeast of the main building, has two stories and a basement. It, like the main building, is of brick, trimmed with stone. An appropriation of $50, 000 has been made for a science hall which will be erected this summer.
So much for the buildings. The library I did not see; the chapel I had best say nothing about, as the least said about a painful subject, the better; the collections are very scanty and incomplete and would not attract the notice of a Kansas student who has seen the far superior ones of Prof. Snow. Literary societies flourish here, there are two strong barb societies which have very nicely furnished halls and which are doing very good work. I was kindly shown around the University by a member of the Senior class who is a very strong "barb." He told me of the old troubles between "barb" and "frat" men here and gave me much valuable news in regard to the students' customs. I also met Mr. Gerwig, who was in attendance at the Inter-State contest last May and who is an enthusiastic Phi. The fraternities represented here are Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Chi and Kappa Kappa Gamma; Kappa Alpha Theta will establish a chapter here in a few weeks. The Phis are strong and have many of the best men in college. The Kappas too, have a chapter of which the order may feel proud, as for the Sigs, I can only say that I have met none of them and only know what was told me, which was not flattering. The barb element is the great power here, they expelled frat men from the literary societies and are strongly organized against all fraternities. Nebraska University is co-educational, but they have a different system from ours. There are very few "mashes" made here and it is a rare occurrence that a young man goes twice in succession with the same lady. The names of the girls are put down on a slate just before any college entertainment and the first man takes his pick and rubs the name of his choice off the slate. This has a tendency to stop any mashes or any love-making. Lucky fellows, these Nebraska students, not having solid girls, they don't go to the opera house with girls, hence a great saving of money and time. I am afraid that this excellent system will not be introduced into K. S. U. very soon. The girls won't fare well if it is and I don't imagine they would like it.
Nebraska University has about 250 students, a majority in the Scientific Department. The Senior class numbers 17. Like the students of K. S. U., they are country boys, many of them earning their way through college. I regret that college is not in session as I should have liked to meet a number of the students, but the Nebraska faculty give an Easter vacation of two weeks, so the students have scattered to their homes.
This makes the fourth State University I have visited this year and I only feel prouder of my alma mater. Kansas has a good University, established on a permanent basis, and well supported by the State. You kick about the Kansas legislature not giving enough—come to Lincoln and see what the Nebraska solons do for the University of Nebraska then go home and forever hold your peace. We could take more money and use it well, but let us be thankful for what we have. R.E.HENRY.

A few, and very few, professors found time to attend last week's ball games. The boys were pleased to see them and gratified to know that they were interested. Now we do not expect that the entire faculty can find time or will have an opportunity to come out en masse to any of the games, but we think that they might make some little effort to be present occasionally. The faculty have given very generously to the association fund and they have our thanks for their kindness. But they must not get the idea that the fond parent does when his son writes long letters only when desirous of money that aside from finances the boy has no use whatever for him. It does us good to have the faculty approve our undertakings by their presence at them. There has been a feeling among the students that the faculty are not greatly interested in student affairs which do not pertain to the rigorous class room duties. We think that this feeling is probably without foundation, however it is pernicious and conducive to ill-feeling and may have some justness in its origin when we remember the sligh faculty attendance at the December and oratorial contests. But it can be easily dispelled by large attendance at our entertainments and a lit more openly expressed sympathy with our humble efforts.

Athletic Notes.
The K. S. U. nine was called for practice yesterday afternoon.
A game will probably be played between K. S. U. and Washburn within two weeks. The time has not been set as yet.
This afternoon the fourth game of the series will be played between (1) Phi Psis and (6) Sigma Chis. Usual time and admission.
Some of the clubs are beginning to fear that the letter Phi is a mascotte. The name of every winning club so far has contained it.
Next Friday afternoon the Betas and Phi Gams play the fifth game. The positions of the players are substantially the same as in former games.
The Phi Delts wore very handsome uniforms and made a fine appearance. Their uniforms were all alike and nearly every player was provided with one. The Sigma Chis wore knickerbockers.
PHI DELTS VS. SIGMA CHIS.
A fine day, a good crowd and the large number of whitewashes were features of last Friday's game. The Phi Delts gained a great advantage in the first inning which made a close game almost impossible. After the first inning the Sigma Chis picked up and played a good game but they were unable to overcome the advantage which the Phi Delts had already gained. For the Phi Delts both the Kelloggs, Finney and of course Davis played a good game. For the Sigma Shis, Cunkle, Swank and Jus Bowersock played well. Swank did good work considering the fact that it was his first game. Runs were made as follows;
Phi Delts. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Davis. 1 1 0 0 1
V. Kellogg. 1 0 1 0

Total 7
Again we repeat in yet more clarion tones that the K. S.U. nine is not practicing enough. While it is true that some of its members are receiving considerable practice, yet as a whole, the club has practiced very little. The individual members of the club are perhaps good enough players and do not feel the need of a great amount of practice but the value of playing together can scarcely be overestimated. It is right here that our clubs have been weak in the past, their members have not played
together enough to learn the weak places and how to protect them. We had rather see the fraternity games discontinued entirely if they interfere in any way with the formation of a good University nine. We will probably be called upon to play several games with clubs from neighboring colleges and ought to make as good a showing as possible. If our club is weak and not united it will convey to others the idea that we have neither college spirit nor interest in K. S. U.'s success. Again, it is unjust and unfair to those who are interested and have given tangible proofs of their interest. We believe that we have the material for the best college club in the State, but if the boys are not willing to work it up the club had better be disbanded at once.
The Fraternities.
The I. C.'s, gave a "grub" at Miss Emma White's Saturday evening. Some of the favored ones among the K.A.T. boys were present.
Mettner is making large group pictures for the halls of both the Phi Delts and Phi Psis. They will be of good size, and make, of course, very handsome ornaments.
The Betas have purchased new furniture and fittings for their hall, which, as before the fire, will be on the fourth floor of the opera block. They propose to have things equally as elegant as before.
The Sigma Nus gave a party last Friday evening in K. of P. hall. Dancing, card playing and refreshments filled the time. The refreshments were served in ante-rooms and were prepared by Falley.
Messrs. Fearl, Jenks, Houk, Schall,
Dunn, Campbell, Gilmore, Lippincott,
Morris, Jep Davis, Plumb, Taylor,
Nickle, Postlethwaite, Hutchings,
Frank Reed, Ollie Walker, Jus
and Fred Bowersock and McFarland.
Miss KateWilder went to Lincoln, Nebraska, yesterday to establish the chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta (at that place) which was granted by the last K. A.T. convention. The new chapter will be known as the Rho.
Last Friday evening the Kappa Alpha Thetaes entertained at the home of Miss May Walker on Tennessee street. A most enjoyable time was had. Conversation, card-playing and dancing occupied the time which passed rapidly. About 11 o'clock refreshments were served that fully merited the praise (actions speak louder than words) which was bestowed upon them. At a late hour the company broke up tired with much dancing,yet loath to leave, each guest ready to assent that as entertainers the K. A.T.'s were seldom equalled and never excelled. The following is a list of those present: Misses Maggie Eidemiller, Lizzie Wilder, Kate Wilder, Luella Moore, Bessie Root; Ella Ropes, Sydney Dailey, Maud Thrasher, Kate Merrill, Tella Chapman, Ella and Emma Bartell, Alice Cummings, Dottie Simpson, Mamie Tisdale, Marcella Howland and Martique Babcock;
Regents' Meeting.
The Board of Regents of the State University held a meeting last Thursday. Prof. Fitzpatrick, formerly secretary of the board, was chosen vicepresident; Charles Gleed, secretary, and Miss Carrie Watson, librarian. The following is a list of the committees of the board:
Instruction, F. A. Fitzpatrick, C. W. Smith, C. S. Gleed; library and apparatus, C. S. Gleed, M. P. Simpson, J. A. Lippincott; finance, C. R. Mitchell, A. G. Otis, M. P. Simpson; buildings, grounds and supplies, A. G. Otis, J. A. Lippincott, Charles Gleed; University lands and endowment, C. R. Mitchell, M. P. Simpson, A. G. Otis; reports and publications, C. W. Smith, C. R. Mitchell, J. A. Lippincott.
The committee on buildings, supplies and grounds, was directed to take the preliminary steps, looking to the erection of a boiler house, and the expenditure of the $5,000 appropriated for strengthening the basement walls of the main building.
Prof. Brownell presented his resignation as assistant in English, and the Board accepted it with hearty recognition of the excellent work done during the four years of his incumbency of office. The matter of successor, and any other appointments on the board of instruction was referred to that committee.
Personal.
Mr. P. D. Aldrich was elected to professorship of vocal culture, and Mr. A.G. Canfield as professor of French. Prof. Sterling was granted a leave of absence for one year, to continue his studies, but will remain, however, to the close of the year. His selection of Miss Agnes Emery to take his positionwas approved by the board.
The forth-coming catalogue is about ready to be sent to the printer. It will indicate such marked improvement in the course of study, and otherwise, as will undoubtedly be very gratifying to the friends of the University.
Tuesday evening Prof. Aldrich assisted by Prof. McDonald and Miss Gore, gave the first of the "Song Recitals." German song was the subject treated; its progress and development were briefly sketched by short descriptions and historical references, songs from the different authors were rendered. The recital was entertaining both on account of the valuable instruction given and the excellent rendition of choice music. Of the instrumental pieces the audience seemed to enjoy most, "Hungarian Rhapsodies" by Prof. McDonald and Miss Gore. The second recital will be given this evening.
Higgins has a new pair of shoes. Addie Sutliff is expected home soon.

Dr. Levi Horner, of this city, lectured before the Pharmaceutical students on Wednesday. The lecture was said to be a very good one.
Our genial and accommodating gardner, Mr. Mears, is wrathy. After bestowing the greatest care for weeks upon his sprouting bulbs in the campus beds, this morning found that the first to appear, had been plucked by some appreciative vandal. We do not blame him. These flower beds are not for the accommodation of flower-loving students, but for beautifying the appearance of the campus.

While the faculty are revising our marking system and raising the standard of grades, they should place it on such a high basis as to do away with first, second and third grade diplomas, and revolutionize it to such an extent, that if students are thorough enough to graduate from their different departments, let them do so on an equal footing.
Faculty Changes.
The regents at their last meeting made some important additions and changes in the faculty.
A. G. Canfield was made a full professor of French. This language has, heretofore, with German been under the supervision of one professor. It now forms a separate department. Prof. Canfield has been connected with the University for four years and has in that time fairly earned the position which the regents have given him. He is an able and proficient French scholar and a man of general culture as well. No one doubts his ability or the wisdom of the regents in making the selection. P. D. Aldrich was made professor of vocal music and voice culture, the rapid growth of the musical department requiring such addition. Of late years our musical department has been making rapid strides, growing in prominence and efficiency. It has not been long since its entire force consisted of a single piano and a pianist, who gave some lessons but derived a good share of his means of subsistence by playing for students' dances. Its present high standing is well known both by the excellence of its instruction and by the many delightful concerts which it has given. Mr. Aldrich is a fine musician, a vocalist of good ability and a man who honors the musical profession by renditions of nothing but choice and classical music.
The regents allowed M. W. Sterling a leave of absence for one year Accordingly Mr. Sterling will spend next year at Johns Hopkins' University where Greek will be his specialty. Mr. Sterling is a hard worker and amply deserves the leave given. Already a fine classical scholar, a year's special study will be of service to him as an instructor. Miss Agnes Emery, who takes his place, is a graduate of our classical department and well able to fill the position.
All students will be sorry to see Prof. Brownell leave. Though always over-worked and crowded, he has been pleasant and agreeable to all and has made many friends. His work has been well done as all will testify. Although he has cut down whole flower gardens for us and filled our speeches with language which seemed tame and prosala, we are now satisfied that it was for the best. We are sorry to see him leave and hope that he may have abundant success whenever he may be and in whatever field of labor he may engage.
A Communication.
Miss Carrie Watson, who has served so long and faithfully as assistant librarian, was made librarian with an advanced salary. Miss Watson is another of the University's graduates and all are pleased at her promotion. We know that the library will always be in good shape while under her care and hope that Preps, Freshmen and other boisterous juveniles will give her no trouble. The regents did well, the University is prosperous, progress is apparent in every department.
Remember that tomorrow is the day set for the preliminary contest, to choose contestants for the oratorical contest in June. We hope that a large number will enter the lists.
EDITOR COURIER:There appeared in your paper of last week an advertisement headed "A Noteworthy Book" in which you called attention to a book of recent publication entitled, "Romanism, the Danger Ahead." Which book you say tries to give the "reason why a Roman Catholic cannot be a good citizen of republic." The principle reason which it gives is "that the pope demands the first allegiance in all things to his power;" and that "the Roman Catholic church, as at present conducted, is in direct opposition to free government, free thought and free education."
To these statements you call particular attention, and say: "If these are true, they are worthy of the most serious attention of all good citizens."
When I read this last statement I was of the opinion that you did not believe this yourself, and I take it upon myself to convince you still further of its falsity. I cannot see why the 8,000,000 Roman Catholics in this country are not as good citizens as the non-Catholics. In the first place the author states that the pope demands the first allegiance to him. Now this is basely false for the pope has no temporal power over Catholics, they are under no allegiance to him whatever, he is only the spiritual head of the church, and has no power over our political or temporal rights and government.
If an Italian, a Frenchman, an Irishman or any Catholic citizen of any nation, be it Catholic or non-Catholic, takes out his naturalization papers in this country he has to give up all allegiance to the country from whence he came. When the pope was by the consent of the nations made a temporal prince, a subject of his dominion happened to come America, and desiring to become naturalized, went before a magistrate, swore allegiance to the United States government, and renounced all obedience and fealty to his former temporal ruler, who in this case was the pope. Now that man was as good a Catholic after having taken the oath, as before, but he renounced obedience in temporal affairs to the pope. This proves my argument again. Consequently a man's being a Catholic does not prevent him from being as good a citizen of this or any other country as a non-Catholic. These are facts which are indisputable and I speak from knowledge of my own creed. As another proof of my statements and as a proof of the pope having no temporal powers over the Catholics, I will cite to you the recent election on the war bill of Germany, a country with nearly twice as many Catholics as this. The pope advised the Catholics to vote for the the bill on the ground that if Germany had a large standing army France would be kept down. In answer to which the Catholies of Germany headed by the leader of the central party, Herr Wendohrt, one of the most conscientious Catholics in the world, told the pope that they would vote just as they pleased. Now will you please show me where is the power of the pope over the Catholics? A Catholic is a Catholic everywhere and in every county, the
pope has no more power over him in one country than in another. As the Catholics of Germany refused to vote as they were advised by the pope, so they have the same power in this country. The people of any church not only can be, but often are advised to vote certain ways by their respective ministers, but it does not necessarily follow that they must do so, and so it was with the pope's wish in the above. Again, as this author says the Catholics are not good citizens of this country, why were they wanted here? Why did the father of his country, George Washington, address them in the manner that he did after the independence of the colonies was gained? Washington himself, though a non-Catholic, thanked them very much and said "we were greatly indebted to the said Catholic for the aid tendered us in those doubtful and gloomy times by a Catholic nation." Not only were we aided by the French, but remember the gallant Koscinsko, Count Pulaski and other Catholies that fought for the independence of this country which we now enjoy. Look to-day if you please at our own nation, of which the author of the above named book claims that a Roman Catholic cannot be a good citizen, and see who but a Catholic stands at the head of our army. If Catholics are not good citizens of this country why are they entrusted with that which protects this government? Ever since the founding of the Catholic colony in this country by Lord Baltimore the Catholics have been as good citizens and as loyal to their respective governments as their non-Catholic brethren and with the help of God they will remain so.
In regard to the other points, I need say but little, for where is the church denomination outside of the fold of the Catholic church which is not also opposed to free thought in religious matters? What is free thought in this direction anyway but atheism? Such men as Bob Ingersoll are piers of this idea. As far as "free education" is concerned you can look at the works of the Catholic church for the past nineteen centuries in educating the masses of the people. As to the citations from the edicts of the pope, I would like to know if the pope has not just as much right to forbid anybody under his fold from reading an immoral and dangerous book as anyone on the face of the earth? Has not the pope as much right to do this as the State of Georgia had in passing a law intermitting the Police Gazette from the State? And now, such an item as appeared in your paper of last week was altogether uncalled for, and I feel that it is an insult on the seventy-five thousand Catholics in this State. As a Catholic, as a good citizen of this country, and as a student of the University of Kansas, I feel that my affections have been lacerated, and I trust that the worthy editor though saying, "if these be true," is now fully convinced of his error, and I hope my little information on the subject has led him to believe his "if" is wrong.
Yours truly,
Wm. C. Moll.
We are glad to print the above.
If the article referred to injured anyone unjustly we wish to afford them the opportunity of correcting it and justifying themselves. And further, the article was not intended to “insult” any Catholic or “lacerate his affections.” It was simply a comment upon a book which was sent to us to be reviewed i. The book denounces the Catholics in the strongest terms and if its author's statements are true they certainly are “worthy of the most serious attention of all good citizens.” His statements, however, are not our statements and we are glad to know that they are false.

ATHEN EUM.
The Washburn Glee Club, eighteen in number, visited the University last Friday morning. They were on their way to Baldwin where they gave a concert. This club is one of the successful and permanent organizations of Wasburn, it is well supported and does good work. After all jokes and "gags" are laid aside, the fact remains that the Washburn students are the most loyal and enthusiastic crowd that a small college ever possessed.
Some Indications
Some Indications
When the howling Pharmies groan
As upon their books they bone
Like busy ants;
When the gay young sub Fresh boys
Don their belted corduroys
And tight knee trousers;
When for plants to botanize
Every frisky Freshman hies
Across the lawn;
When the Sophomore's heart with joy stirs
As the season for fried oysters
Passes on

When the yearly Junior "spat"
Over who receives the hat
Is raging high;
When the April breezes lug
The Seniors sable plug
Athwart the sky;
When the vocal music class
Scream as if their throats were brass
And try to sing;
When all this has taken place
Then you can begin to trace
A sign of spring.

We read your notice of us in you last issue, young ladies of the Rockford Seminary Magazine, with a great deal of wonder and amazement. We fear that you are growing vain, otherwise you would have hardly construed the article cited as referring to yourselves. We have always treated you girls with a great deal of kindness and consideration, on several occasions we have even allowed our generosity to so far get the better of us as to call you young ladies. It don't seem to us as though you appreciate this kindness as you should. After what has happened we can see but one course to take, I return your letters by freight to day. I also return your tin-type, with the advice that you procure a half-ton of the patent freckle and tan remover that is advertised in the back part of your magazine and use constantly. We hope to remain a friend to you and will always be pleased to give you advice and council in whatever you may undertake, but we cannot see that circumstances will allow us to be anything more.
Judging from a late issue of the Index, the Baldwin students are not at all "stuck" on that poetical effort entitled the "Baker Girl," which appeared in a recent issue of The Courier. We suppose that the size of the Baldwin girls' feet was slightly exaggerated, but we don't see any use getting mad about that. If it would help smooth matters over at all, we will be perfectly willing to knock off half an acre, and this surely ought to give universal satisfaction. You further state that the poem was only the "portrayal of a mean disposition." My dear children, it would be quite impossible for us to harbor such feelings toward you as you are so young, so gentle, so unsophisticated. Now, in closing, we suppose it is our duty to give you a little further advice: your exchange column shows marked improvement since our last criticism. Now if you will fire those "ready made verses for the autograph album," from your editorial columns it would be a marked improvement.
Emporia College is issuing a little 2x4 tri-weekly faculty bulletin. It is very interesting to note the lengths to which the embryo journalists, who are taught that they must not lie, go for news. Here are a few samples: "There is a board off the back step. It should be attended to at once." You are right, attend to this at once, for a back step with a board off is in imminent danger. Check it before it gets worse or some morning you will go out and find your little back step curled up into a spherical wad, all owing to that hole which might have been stopped with a mustard plaster. Again: "One of the faculty has a new watch." Written by the professor himself probably. But he didn't state whether it was thrown in with a new suit of clothes or whether it was a Waterbury drawn with the best can of baking powder. These are matters of news which the public demand. The paper also attempts to give a complete record of all the events transpiring on the globe and does it at the expense of local news regarding the college it represents.

Last week the boys in the University nine braced up and got in a pretty good amount of practice. That's the way to do.
The game Saturday occupied just two hours and fifteen minutes. This is pretty good for nine innings. Darby of Wyandotte, umpired.
Fridays was the first of the fraternity games to be played under the new rules. It was not remarkable for brilliant plays or close work. "Muffing" was one of the prominent features. McAlpine played well, Campbell made a home run, Taylor "famed" ten batters, Cunkle three. Castone, the pitcher, dumped the game. A greater number of runs were made than in any previous game. The score is as follows:

Captain Davis felt very jubilant over Saturday's game. "It did me as much good," said he, "as a big victory, if the boys continue to play as well as they did Saturday, I have no fear of any college club in the State."

The K. S. U.'s played two practice games with the Lawrence club last week. In the first game on Thursday, Ward and Darby of Wyandotte, formed the battery, seven innings were played and the score stood 8 to 4 in favor of Lawrence. The second game was played on Saturday and the University had its own battery. The game was a very interesting one and said to be the best the University nine has played for years. For Lawrence, the battery, Sears on first and Barlow at the bat, all did excellently. It is hardly fair to speak of one or two players on the side of the University, for all did remarkably

No.31.
The game between the Betas and Phi Gams was a fairly good one, although both clubs think that they can do much better. There were no remarkable plays made by either side. Jackson fanned five batters, Lippincott three. Morris, catcher for the Betas, sprained his ankle during the fifth inning, and Houk took his place. The last half of the seventh was not played. Prof. Canfield umpired. The score stood 17 to 15 in favor of the Phi Gams.
The Phi Psis initiated E. B. Cald well, '90, Saturday night.
The Phi Delts give a party Friday night at A. O. U.W hall.
The Fraternities.
The Sigma Chis had a group picture taken last week.
Miss Kate Wilder reports that the newly established chapter at Lincoln is a fine one. Six girls were initiated. The Sigma Chis banquetted them.
Fred A. Stocks, Phi Kappa Psi, '84, was elected mayor of Blue Rapids at the last election, and C. W. Smith, '76, Beta Theta Pi, mayor of Stockton.
The first biennial convention of the Fourth District of Phi Kappa Psi was held at the Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. The Fourth District includes chapters in ten colleges west of Michigan, and also the chapter at Ann Arbor. The other three provinces of the fraternity were in session in various parts of the country at the same time, all being in telegraphic communication. The convention was presided over by the Archon of the district, Prof. Lynn S. Pease, of Wisconsin. Delegates were present from all the colleges but two. Many alumni and visitors were also in attendance. Reports
Mrs. Dudley C. Haskell lectured before the Kappa Alpha Theta sorosis, upon life in Washington. All the pledged members were present. After an elegant "Theta spread" a business meeting was held and Miss May Haskell pledged.
from the chapters showed them uniformly prosperous, and in many places at the head of college enterprise. The chief business of the convention was discussion of the best methods of carrying on fraternity work, and many good papers were given on fraternity subjects. Madison, Wis., was chosen as the next meeting place of the council, two years hence. J. M. Sheean, of Bejoit college, was chosen as undergraduate member of the Executive Council located at Columbus, O. The convention was a great success and finished its labors by a grand banquet at which seventy-five Phi Psis were present.
. . .
Orophilian Election.
The Orophilians refused to contest with the Athenaeums and elected last Friday a program of their own. It was, says an old member, "a regular love feast." No squabble, no fight, everything lovely. The following double program was elected: Orations, T. F. Doran, F. H. Olney; debaters, W. W. Davis, W. H. Ayers; essayist, Miss Churchill; declamation, Miss Fincher; president of the evening, Miss Flora Newlin. Those elected are all students of ability and will give an interesting entertainment.
Personal.
The "Mistletoe Bough," which will be produced at the opera house Friday night, promises to be a great success. The costumes and settings used in the play are very fine. Miss Josie Hutchings, Lawrence's favorite soprano, will render the incidental vocal music. The cast of characters is as follows: Baron, Mr. Charles Chadwick; Baroness, Mrs. Charles Chadwick; Lord Lovell, Richard Horton; Bride, Miss Lyle Hyues. Retainers, Misses May Webster, Emma Hynes, Nelly Griffith, Mamie Tisdale, Lena Beard, Mamie Lyons; Messrs. E. G. Blair, Ben Akers, Nate McCague, Lute Lewis, Robert Curdy, W. A. Jackson.
If it don't rain soon some enterprising student will have to get up a picnic. There is nothing so conducive to a large, well developed soaking rain as a dose of spring picnic.
Again some base and mischievous student or students have made a raid on James Myers' flower garden. Something ought to be done to keep these little children from meddling with beauties of nature not their own and they should be dealt with by the faculty.

Notice!
The "colored gentlemen" who bring the papers to the University from the Courier office have stringent orders from the business managers in regard to giving away any papers. Any professor or student found "monkeying" with the aforesaid gentlemen will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Old and New.
Recognizing the fact that it is a very common failing in those of advanced years to think that everything new is but a foolish innovation, that the rising generation is full of vanity and weakness and that the "good old times" are gone forever, recognizing this, we hope that you will pardon us, if from the standpoint of an old-timer we find fault a little. From a long acquaintance with the University and her students our impression is that the present generation is inferior in some respects to older ones that have passed away—leaving nothing but the catalogue to tell the story of their former greatness. We do not believe that the average student of the present time reads nearly as much as the average old-timer used to. We do not believe that literary ability and general culture are as highly valued among our students as they have been in the past. We do not believe that the incentives offered and the examples set are especially conducive to broad training outside of text-book, routine work. These are, of course, not positive statements but simply impressions.
Various reasons can be, and are advanced to show that these differences, if they exist at all, have good cause. In the first place it is said, and said truthfully, we believe, that the amount of actual study on lessons is greater than ever before. More study is required. Compare, if you please, the forth-coming catalogue with that of four years back and you will immediately see that this is true. The requirements for each year are greater, the number of studies are constantly increasing and time is more carefully economized and more fully occupied. Look at the course of prescribed study in the Freshman and Sophomore years. It is much more comprehensive and requires much more hard work. Students as a rule will not do much more than a certain amount of work, they are bound to rest and take things leisurely between Friday afternoon and Monday. So we cannot but regret it, if the added studies make general reading less prevalent than formerly. While we recognize the value of studies, we cannot help thinking that hard study upon the ordinary prescribed topics in a college course is not of itself sufficient to make a well rounded and thoroughly cultured man.
Again it is argued that the class of students who attend the University at present are younger than ever before. Hence they do not have the maturity of mind and cannot show to the best advantage the results of their reading. This is also true. A comparison of the Senior class of this year with the graduates of last will show that the average age of the former is much less. This undoubtedly accounts somewhat for the difference between the old and new, but is on the whole a cause for gratification rather than regret.
But there are other differences which are not so complimentary to the new generation, differences which have direct bearing upon this matter of reading. In the first place we are vastly more social than the old crowd used to be. Split up as we are into
so many cliques and crowds it is impossible for society to have any unity in its general character. Each crowd has its own opportunities for social intercourse of which it makes good use. Formerly the different crowds and organizations did not play such an important part. If a man went in good society, it was not because he belonged to this or that organization nor because he was a good dancer, it was rather because he was recognized as a bright man, and a man of some standing and prominence in the institution. We believe that the old plan was the better one. We think that it had a stronger effect in stimulating students to efforts of the right kind. And it is further our belief that we could very well dispense with some of the many social gatherings of the present time and do with fewer.
Again, the literary societies played an important part and had a power which they do not have to-day. Their effect was beneficial. Many an old student will remember them thankfully and will acknowledge that their training was of great value. Some of the best work of the whole course was done in their halls. Today this is different; they are in a measure forsaken. While, as we have said before, it is but natural that with the growth of the institution, technical societies should gain more support and draw off somewhat from the literary societies, yet we think that with as many collegiate students as there are in K. S. U. the literary societies ought to be well supported.
Please do not think from all this that we pine for the old times. On the contrary we recognize that great advances and many improvements have been made. In some respects we think that the new is vastly superior to the old; the opportunities are much greater, and the general conduct of the student is far better and more honorable. Yet we look back with great admiration to the old times when the literary halls were centers of attraction, when in them the ordinary debates were superior to the oratorical contests of to-day, when the Oread-Orophilian contest was the great event of the year and he who bore off its honors was a proud, and happy man, and set an example for the ambitious Prep and Freshman to emulate. When it was a great honor to produce an excellent literary article for the class room or for publication in the Review, when society was looked upon as a recreation and not a part of a man's duties.
The Vacation.
We yielded to the entreaties of those who think that the tired ought to rest and asked in our columns for a short vacation, just as earnestly as though it were going to benefit us. Of course we knew better than that, we know that we would have to work like slaves to get out a mid-week edition, because it would be impossible for you to enjoy yourself at home without the Courier. We know that the editor has no right to expect a time of leisure, that when his fellow students are resting he is working hardest, perchance making up some neglected studies—for the
paper must come out, no matter what happens.
Knowing all this, we yet worked for you and contributed our little wail for a vacation. You got it, now make the best of it. Some of you deserve it, some don't. Some can go home and enjoy themselves, others had better stay there, recuperate and enter Baldwin or Washburn next fall. For the sake of the Freshmen and Sophomores we are heartily glad of the vacation, they have been working hard, have not seen their parents for a long time and are kept about as busy as any youths in the land. They ought to go home, enjoy their leisure and return refreshed for the remainder of the year. The Junior ought to do as he pleases, for people aren't much interested in him anyway and do not care particularly what he does. The Seniors—they all think that vacation is a fraud—will work and dig like Trojans. Their good time is coming bye and bye, bye and bye.
The faculty, the Pharmics, the Laws, the Meds and the rest of the camp-followers do not enter largely into the ordinary students' calculations, so we need say nothing of them. Oh yes, we forget, it is Arbor day vacation, you are supposed to plant trees, don't forget that. If you are at home plant them all over the door yard, i.e. the barn yard, anywhere. If you remain in the city come up and plant some trees on the campus. If you find solid rock two inches under the surface, do not be discouraged, just quarry out a good sized hole and stick in your tree. There's positively nothing so good as a stone foundation to make good, vigorous growing trees.
Once more we hope all will enjoy the vacation, and if you follow our directions we believe that you will enjoy it. If you have any work to do, do it, if not, rest. Plant trees everywhere, it is your duty as a philanthropist. Take the Courier home with you; if you don't go home send it to your friends or relatives. Come back ready and willing to do good work for the rest of the year.
Pharmacy for the Young Ladies
makes employment almost a certainty for those who hold certificates.
It seems somewhat strange that in these days when the question of occupation for women is being so much discussed, that the study of pharmacy has not been more strongly recommended as a means for securing such occupation. The number of young ladies in the Pharmacy department of our University is very small. Out of forty or fifty students but three are young ladies. Here, we believe is an excellent opportunity of acquiring a trade, and a trade which is not over-crowded, where the supply is not greater than the demand. The cost of a two year's course in Pharmacy is not large, not nearly so large as one of equal length in music or painting, and looked at from a pecuniary standpoint, it would in the long run prove far more profitable. A competent and trained pharmacist is in Kansas almost sure of employment at good wages. Under the present laws of our State it is impossible for those who have no knowledge of Pharmacy to become salesmen in drug stores. This, of course,
The drug business is a lucrative one when properly managed and rightly located. Nor does it take a great amount of capital to make a start in the business. If a person has a thorough knowledge of the business he may, if we are not greatly mistaken, with industry and economy enter it for himself.
The work is not severe, hard, confining or particularly disagreeable. It is much lighter and pleasanter than many occupations in which young women engage. So when everything is considered we cannot see why this is not an excellent opportunity for young ladies who are dependent upon themselves for their living or for those who wish to become self-supporting.
The Pharmacists are asking that a day be set aside for their department during Commencement week. While we recognize the importance of this department and know that it is growing constantly, we do not believe that this request ought to be granted. Although this institution claims to be a University and to give training in various ways, the fact remains that its chief work is and must always be to furnish opportunities for general culture. No one will deny that the literary and general course is first in importance and ought to be. Take it away and we would have nothing but a technical school left. Hence it seems to us unfair to place other departments on a footing of equality with it. We think that it might perhaps be just to give the pharmacists one representative on Commencement day, but nothing more. Moreover their work is of an entirely different character from that of the other departments and is not calculated to fit one for public speaking. It might be argued that the Pharmacists have as good a right to a day as the Laws, to which we would agree. But it is impossible for every department to have a separate day and the line might as well be drawn at once.
The evening Tribune advises the people of Lawrence if they wish to advertise the city, to send away to every quarter of the globe the city papers. It says further that the University papers will do much in that way. This is true, although few seem to appreciate the fact.
The COURIER if properly distributed, would bring to Lawrence many people who are desirous of locating in a beautiful city where educational facilities of the highest kind are offered. Nothing can give as good an idea of a college as the paper which it publishes. And a college that publishes a creditable paper and circulates it widely is sure of being better known than one that has no paper. The University of Missouri has for a long time published no students' paper. As a result, it is not half so widely known as K. S. U. It has excellent facilities for instruction, yet few people attach any importance to it. If you want people to know about the educational advantages of this city send them the COURIER, not once, but many times.

"Kicking Bird," in a Sunday letter to the Lawrence Journal, comparing the girls in Summer county with those of Lawrence, writes: "they have few, if any, of those dreamy and spirituelle like University girls, with their far away thoughts of Plato and the academy, of Dante and his loves. These are the girls that make life worth living. You can't find them on the borders of the Indian Territory. You can carefully find them anywhere except at that dear old Athens of Kansas."
We quite agree with Mr. Reynolds about our girls, "you can't find them anywhere else." But we can scarcely believe, in fact without that letter we would never have known about their far-away thoughts etc. It has been our experience that most of our young ladies have their thoughts pretty closely about them, but our experience is not great—not great as compared with Mr. Reynolds'.
Mr. P.D. Aldrich, of the Kansas State University at Lawrence, is coming down to assist at the Philharmonic concert next Tuesday evening. He is known to some of our musical people as an excellent barritone. - Kansas City Sunday's Journal.
We learn from the Kansas City Times that Dr. Lusher has returned from his' European travels. Dr. Lusher will be remembered by the old students. He graduated in '82, studied medicine and became a surgeon in an army in China. We are glad to know that he has returned alive.
Mrs. Haskell has very kindly offered to all students who desire to study the Protection question, the free use of the library of the late Hon. D. C. Haskell. The library contains many valuable and instructive documents on this subject. The offer is a generous one and students ought to avail themselves of it.
The underfed prep, who has been manipulating the poetry machine has been having a tussle with Prof. Snow in the botany class for several weeks and our readers have been compelled to satisfy their craving for effervescent melodies in the almanac and dictionary. We are now pleased to announce that the "cruel was is over" and that the song of the liar will once more ring out on perfume laden air.
The Topeka Capital says that the Washburn clerub quartette will attend the Traveler's Protection Association in St. Louis next June. The "cherubs" claim to be singers but what the T. P. A. wants with them unless it is to illustrate more vividly that death is ever near, or possibly to get accustomed to the wails of the dying, we are unable to venture a guess.
Prof. Carruth and Nutting had a surprise party the other day. Prof. Carruth was surprised when he asked Nutting to translate into German, "How long has he been sleeping?" to find that his victim was asleep himself. Nutting was surprised that the professor would ask such pointed questions when a man was trying to take a little nap.

The Laws have a special time set apart for their exercises and there is no reason why the Pharmacy department, which has attained such a high standard during the past-two years, should be denied an opportunity to give forth some of their surplus knowledge to the world.

Athletic Notes
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
The Phi Delts and Sigma Chis practiced together during vacation.
E. G. Blair, manager of the Phi Gamma Delta Club, treated the boys to ice cream after their victory over the Betas.
The Phi Psis are the only club that has appeared in the diamond fully uniformed. They have new suits which are quite handsome, grey breeches and shirts and wine colored stockings.
Swipe and Postlethwaite challenge any student team, two in number, to a rowing race upon the Kaw. Size of boats, distance, etc., to be arranged after the challenge is accepted. This is a standing offer.
The Betas think that their club is playing against hard luck and dire calamities. Tomlin, who used to catch for them, contrary to expectation, did not return. W. T. Reed, their pitcher, left school before their first game, Doran, second base, was unable to play in the second game, Fred Morris, catcher, was injured at the very crisis of the last game, and now Frank Reed, left fieldder, has quit school. Truly these are hard lines.
The Phi Delta Theta gave a party in their hall last Friday evening. Their colors were draped about the room with pleasing effect. Cards and dancing were the order of the evening. Refreshments were served at 12 o'clock. Those present were: Misses Bistline, Helen Sutliff, Taggart, Henshaw, Lizzie Wilder, Kate Wilder, Emma Bartell, Chapman, O'Bryon, Hadley, Price, McCague, Thrasher; Messrs. Finney, White, Wheeler, Schall, E. C. and W. S. Franklin, V. L. and F. H. Kellogg, Davis, Glasgow, McFarland, Lewis, O'Bryon, Higgins, B. T. Chace and W. B. Harwell from Rich Hill, Mo.
Fred Morris, the Betas' catcher, who sprained his ankle in their game with the Phi Gams will not recover entirely, so his physician says, before many months, possibly it will take a year's time.

Beta all play strong games. They will probably occupy the positions in which they are placed above, at the close of the season. Phi Delta Theta has some fine players,and may come up for one of the first places. Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi are both composet of light men, and although some of them are quite skillful, neither can hardly hope to win the pennant.—Trionne.
It may be all right to guess, but our advice to the Tribune man would be not to stake anything on his guess just at present. It is too soon.
It is somewhat early as yet to give the standing of the various clubs, but the subjoined table will be handy for reference.

Concert.
Mr. Aldrich gave the last of his recitals last Tuesday evening. A good sized audience was in attendance and the concert certainly repaid careful attention. Thanks are due to the Handel and Haydn society for its assistance. The following excellent program was rendered:
Handel—Why do the Nations ... [Messiah]
Handel—and the Glory ... [Messiah]
Harrel and Hayn Society.
Handel—Honor and Arms...[Samson]
Chopin—Nocturne. Op. 37, No. 2...
Mr. McDonald
Mendelssohn—It is Enough...[Elijah]
Beethoven—Fifth Symphony. [Last two movements]
LAW.
Miss Gore and Mr. McDonald.
Haydn—Rolling in Foaming Billows
(Creation)
The instrumental selections by Prof. McDonald and Miss Gore were very fine and elicited much applause. "Nocturne was warmly encored. Prof. Aldrich's redition of "Rolling in Foaming Billows," was probably most highly enjoyed by the audience, it was spoken of in terms of highest praise. This concludes the series of recitals which Prof. Aldrich has conducted with great success. They have been a source of instruction as well as entertainment. The pleasure and profit which they have afforded to those who attended them ought to be a gratification to Prof. Aldrich and those who have assisted him.
Henry B. Hamilton, The Spirit of Speculation in America. C. L. Smith, The Transportation System of the Country. R. L. McAlpine, The Profession of Engineering. E.G. Blair, Character of our Foreign Immigration. These are but a few of the subjects, others have not been announced as yet.
No Senior appointment yet.
SENIOR THESES.
King, Junior class has been sick with the measles.
Prof. Snow has commenced slaying for the purpose of mounting the menagerie recently procured. The animals are getting to be a great nuisance.
Harry Ballinger, of last year's class, is now a member of the leading law firm in Hutchison.
Mr. Eddy, one of the "millionaires" from Winfield, and step-father to Fidler, of 88, visited with his son last week.
H. A. Peairs, a quodam student of the Junior class, after a few weeks of rest and recuperation has re-entered for the remainder of the term.
J. T. Dickerson has left the law office of Mr. Alford and moved to 933 Vermont street where he takes the place of A. L. Sloam in the affections of—F. H. Olney.
There will be eleven fellows who will always wonder why they failed to impress the faculty with their superior power of oratory and other essential elements of a valedictorian.
Pentzer and Jackson occasionally become so absorbed in conversation in the corridors as to entirely forget a recitation, and as a consequence Prof. Green has threatened to mark them so that they will be unapproachable by the ladies.
Dr. Cordley has been conducting the chapel exercises for the past week.
The Lime Kiln Club did not have any meeting last Saturday night on account of the rain.
Prof. Hugo Saltean, a very eminent French naturalist, visited Snow Hall last week. He was very much surprised to see such a fine institution in the wilds of Kansas.
M'lle Rhea, the famous French artiste, now taking her farewell of the American public, has received the highest praise not only for her artistic excellence, but for her rare social qualities. Her farewell tour has been a series of ovations. It seems that everyone is anxious to pay a tribute of regret to the charming actress who carries away with her not only the laurels of victory, but the hearts of the American people. In many cities regal receptions have been tendered this charming artiste. Her hold on the American public is easily understood. She is endowed with heaven's choice gifts, youth, beauty and talent; but these essentials alone are not the OPEN RESAME to success. She has a quality all her own; an innate goodness, that shows itself in every action and wins the hearts of all beholders. She comes on the stage like a ray of sunshine. Her smile is angelic, her good spirits infectious, her voice like the ripple of clear, bubbling water. To see Rhea once is to be her admirer forever. She leaves America with the deepest regret and will carry away with her none but sweet memories of her many friends.

The Appointments
The faculty made the appointments for Commencement Day yesterday. These positions are usually regarded as the honors of the Senior class. Seven were appointed, Miss Agnes Wright, W. S. Jenks, Miss M. A. Rice, G. W. Harrington, Miss Lillian Bell, Miss Cora Kimball and Cyrus Crane.
W. S. Jenks is from Abilene, Kas
He has always been a prominent student and is a man of recognized ability. Mr. Jenks leads his class in scholarship. He is an orator of good power, having been several times victor in various oratorical contests. He graduates from the Modern Literature department.
Miss Agnes Wright, of Junction City, will graduate from the Scientific Department. Miss Wright is well known as a good student and a fine writer and speaker. She has appeared on the University rostrum several times as a contestant and representative of Oread society, and has always acquitted herself with great credit. Miss Lillian Bell, of Lawrence, will graduate from the Modern Literature Department. Miss Bell was formerly a member of '85. She has a good standing in scholarship and is known as a prominent woman's suffragrist
Miss M. A. Rice is also from Lawrence. Miss Rice will probably stand second in the class. In her Freshman year, she won the $25 prize in scholarship. She will graduate from the Modern Literature department.
Miss Cora Kimball is from Lawrence, and of the Modern Literature course. Miss Kimball has appeared several times before University audiences, and is a very pleasing speaker.
She was one of the Senior representatives on Washington's birthday.
G. W.Harrington is from Hiawatha, Kansas, and will graduate from the Scientific department. Mr. Harrington is a faithful student, and has a good record. Under his management the Sigma Nu Delta, of which he is editor-in-chief, has taken good rank among fraternity publications.
Cyrus Crane is from Lawrence and will graduate from the Classical de-department.
--est twenty-five years hence. The city disappointed us in that instance. We come down, down from Oread avenue to a little sidewalk. Please grant this request. Remember that the students leave $300,000 in hard cash in the city every year and you accordingly owe them something.
To the City Council.
The students, or at least a large portion of them, wish to make a request of the above body. Our requests are few and far between, and as this is a small one, we think that it ought to be granted. We want, need and must have a sidewalk on Adams street between Tennessee and Massachusetts streets. Considering the large number of students who are daily obliged to pass along that street or go three or four blocks out of their way, it is somewhat surprising this matter has not been attended to long ago. In muddy weather the street is almost impassable. Such a walk would not only be a great convenience to many students but would give to many of the citizens a much shorter way to the University than they now have. There was in days past, a hope, a slight one perhaps, but still it was fondly cherished, that at some time we might have a magnificent avenue leading up to the University from the heart of the city, an avenue of large proportions, well graded, of easy access, planted on both sides with elegant shade trees, and it was to be called Oread avenue. That hope has gone glimmering, it is laid away with other Freshman and Sophomore traditions, pigeonholed with old orations, essays and other things which may be of interest twenty-five years hence. The city disappointed us in that instance. We come down, down from Oread avenue to a little sidewalk. Please grant this request. Remember that the students leave $300,000 in hard cash in the city every year and you accordingly owe them something.
If there is any one thing of which K. S. U. can well be proud, it is the general conduct and department of her students. It has always been the policy of our faculty to allow the students the utmost liberty and not to hamper them with petty restrictions and trifling rules. The wisdom of this policy has been fully proven, after years of trial, by most satisfactory results. There never was a time in the history of this institution when moral and gentlemanly conduct was as prevalent among the students as it is now. Nor do we mean to say that there is less that is enjoyable and pleasurable in student relations and society. It is quite remarkable that in so large a body of students there is so little of meanness and badness, so few petty, dishonorable tricks, and so much that is manly and generous. We believe that on this point we could welcome comparison with any institution of learning in the United States. We believe too, that it would be found, on comparison, that the plan which our faculty has adopted is far more beneficial in its operation than the rigorous oversight and surveillance exercised by so many denominational schools, for the very severity of their discipline often defeats its own purpose. "It is not necessary to proclaim again the falsity of these old statements, about the University being either "a hot-bed of infidelity," or "a school of moss-back Methodists," for intelligent people have long since ceased to pay any attention to such absurdities. Our students themselves are the best refutation of statements of that kind. So we think that it must be a source of gratification to the friends and patrons of the University to know that they are sending their sons and daughters to an institution where the general relations of student life are conducive to morality, where the influences which surround them are of the best and purest character.
A View
EDITOR COURIER:—I am not naturally a grumbler, nor do I often vent my displeasure in a public way. But it seems to me that even the most quiet have a right to complain when they fell that they are wronged, not willfully, perhaps, but carelessly. My case is simply this:
The Orophilian is, as everyone well knows, an old and well established literary society, which does thorough and careful work and has maintained itself and held a proud position for years. Other literary societies have been preyed upon by the politician until life became a burden and they could bear up no longer. But the Orophilian society, by the patient efforts of its members has withstood all shocks internal as well as external and is as strong to-day as ever. A short time ago the society elected a program for its annual Commencement entertainment, expecting, as a matter of course, that it would be given a night some time during Commencement week. Imagine, if you can, our consternation and surprise, when it was learned that the faculty in making arrangements for that week had passed us over completely, shut us out entirely and ignored our program elect. To add to our disappointment, they, at the same meeting, gave the Pharmacists a whole day and that one of the most important and prominent of the whole week. Frankly we can see no justice in such an arrangement. The Pharmacy department was not created for the purpose of making public speakers, in fact the Pharmacist is not required to do any work in rhetoricals whatever. Now what possible interest can it be to the public to see these Pharmacists get up and show samples of their hand-rolled pills or bottles of choice triple extracts or nauseating compounds of life-saving drugs. All these things are well enough in their way, but would be rather out of place on a Commencement program.
On the other hand, the work done by the literary society is calculated to fit for just such entertainments, and is, undoubtedly, deserving of recognition at the hands of the faculty. An election to a position on the June program is naturally a kind of reward and expression of approval for faithful work in the society. But when the faculty discriminates so unfairly against the society and takes away from it these opportunities of rewarding its devoted members, it cannot be expected that it will long survive. Now I wish to ask the faculty if they candidly think that they can afford thus to have our literary societies drop away one by one. Can you afford to have it said throughout the State that K. S. U. has no literary societies? OROPHILIAN.

Commencement.
The eventful time of our school year is rapidly approaching and it behooves us to be getting ready. From the subjoined program it will be seen that several changes have been made, and changes which are a departure from the old established order. A day has been given to the Pharmacy department, much to the delight of its members. The Laws will have Friday night instead of Saturday morning. The June contest between Oreads and Orophilians has been dropped. No selections for Class day have been made as yet, owing to the delay of the faculty in making Commencement appointments. The Alumni are making active preparations for a large gathering and a big reunion and celebration are expected. Their banquet will be held immediately after the alumni oration on June 7th.
The program for the week, as arranged, is as follows:
May 31, Tuesday-Commencement concert, Department of Music. June 2, Thursday 8 p.m.-Prize contest in oratory.
June 3, Friday 8 p. m.—Anniversary, Department of Law.
June 4, Saturday S p. m.—Prize contest in declamations.
June 5, Sunday 8 p. m.- Bacca laureate sermon.
June 6, Monday 10 a. m.—Anniversary Department of Ptarmacy.
Monday 8 p. m.—Oration before the Literary societies.
June 7, Tuesday 10 a. m.—Class day exercises.
3 p.m., meeting of alumni association.
8 p. m. Alumni Oration.
June 8, Wednesday 10 a. m.— Commencement.
College World.
Speaking of literary reviews, the Perdee stands at the head of any college journal in this respect. It has a column of as neat, well written, short book and magazine notices as we have seen in many a day. It is a pleasure to read such a paper.
76—Rudolph Hatfield, of Wichita, Kansas, who will deliver the oration at the Alumni Society meeting in June, was one of the most prominent members of the Kansas legislature. Lincoln (Ill.) Register.
Mr. Hatfield was one of the judges at the recent State Oratorical contest.
In speaking of the recent controversy our local man has been having with a certain Washburn correspondent of the Topeka papers, the Washburn Argo says: "These articles were written by the college correspondent and the college cannot be responsible for them." This is right. We are glad you don't for whoever he was his egotism was only equaled by his stupidity and Washburn will do well to disown him and emphatically sit down on the youngster
Why would it not be a good idea to annex after each editors' name at the head of the editorial column in our college journals the society or fraternity, if any, to which he belongs, this would enable the foreign reader to see at a glance the standing of the institution from which the paper comes and the relative standing of each fraternity or society in that institution besides making the paper more interesting to the outsider. Who will first try this?
The April Ist Kappa Alpha Theta Journal published by the Kappa chapter of that fraternity in this city appeared last Friday. It is brim full of excellent editorial matter and several very creditable communications grace its pages in addition to the usual allowance of chapter letters. These letters are, in the general run of fraternity magazines, dry and insipid to an outsider, but in the Journal they are bright and above all newsy. Ladies seem to have the knack of telling exactly the right thing in the right way which their more experienced brothers seem to lack.
The Hesperian has upon divers cruel sundry occasions seen fit to make slighting remarks about this popular educator. Recently we took off our coat and called it another in very plain words. Since then the Hesperian has been doing better. Its exchange column in the issue of March 13, is the best of any paper that comes to our table, and its literary department is filled with notices of the latest and best. We admire the Hesperian and any time it can give us any pointers in a gentlemanly way, we will gladly receive them.

Extracts from a Letter Written Home from the City of Mexico by Miss Agnes Clarke.
Mexico City is said here to be a counterpart of Paris, and so many of the proprietors of the most elegant dry goods and other stores are Frenchmen, as to make that language almost as familiar to the ear as the Spanish;but on the trip down—which all the way was more like a delightful dream than anything else, I found it a great comfort to be familiar with the latter language; it rendered one so much more independent in the several cities which we visited, than were the other excursionists who did not speak it.
Of course everything here is unique and strange and there is much squaler intermixed with the antique grandeur, while the varieties of tropical fruits and foliage and more than all, the profuseness of the loveliest flowers, suggests to the stranger some sort of paradise unless the eye happens to fall upon a scantily dressed beggar at the next moment.
- * * * Sunday here is the day for visiting and attending places of amusement; there are to be two bull fights this afternoon and the street cars pass the door every six minutes laden with passengers to witness this cruel sport. I "started in" with the other excursionists to see one but left before its close and have no desire for more entertainment of that kind. * * * The air here is so rare as to make one feel listless, the high altitude of 7,500 feet above the sea level, is not agreeable and gives one the feeling that there is a lack of support in the atmosphere; and why any American, unless a consumptive should like to live here is not plain to see. This city is much more like large American cities than I expected to find it after seeing Lacatecos, Queretaro, Agnos Colientes, etc. In those truly Mexican towns the women wear the picturesque rebazo and the men the sugarloaf sombrero, and the gay serapes were generally in use; but here in Mexico City the Paris bonnet adorns the native feminine beauty and the stiff silk tile and common dress coat is affected by government officials and other stylish gentlemen. While in Agnos Calientes, a city of about 25,000 inhabitants we visited the Hot Springs which give the city its name, and found the bath truly delightful.Chihuahua is another lovely town in which we spent the greater part of one day, and there are so many Americans there, it does not seem as foreign as the other cities. I have many stereoscopic views among which are "the old church at Paso del Norte," Fountain at Queretaro, views of Lacatecas, Chapultepec, the President's residence, etc., etc. Guanajuato was another beautiful ancient looking city with a great many ruins. * *
The excursionists felt sorry for me because I was to stay and live with the Mexicans, and I feel that I have had the advantages of considerable travel and experience since leaving school and best of all is having seen the lovely, grand old city of Mexico

Athletic Notes
Our exchange editor is one of the most enthusiastic of base ballists.
The Phi Gams have a lightning tennis team, Deford and Jackson.
Dr. Lippincott and wife will entertain the Seniors this evening.
Jep, our genial captain says, "the Prof. does not pitch a swift ball but he fools 'em every time."
The gentlemen of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity entertain their lady friends next Friday evening.
Miles and Delo have accepted Postlethwaite and Swope's challenge. They will row for the championship of the University one week from tomorrow afternoon.
The game Tuesday between the University and Lawrence nine was one of the most exciting of the season. The following is the score:

Two base hits, Polk, Barlow and Berry, for the Lawrence, and Castone for the University. Casstone struck out nine men, and Smith four men. Berry made one home run. The principal feature of the University nine's playing was their errors. Albert Gregg, the second baseman for the town nine was so unfortunate to break his leg above the ankle.
BRAINS VS. WIND.
The faculty and the Seniors crossed bats Wednesday. As it was rumored in the halls that Prof. J. H. Canfield was to play short stop, a large and enthusiastic audience gathered to witness the game. The following is the score:

Sterling, Canfield, Marsh, Marvin and Snow did fine work, considering that they had not been in the diamond for many years. They excelled the Seniors by far and with a week's practice could "do up" the University. Davis, Jenks, McAlpine, Lippin-
cott, and Harrington played a good game and tried to get even with the Profs. for four years pounding.
Yesterday afternoon the Phi Delta Thetas and Sigma Nus met on the diamond, the letter Phi maintaining its record by a score of 18 to 10. The game was quite even until the sixtn innings, when the Phis crossed the home plate ten times. In the absence of the mask in the first inning Jep Davis received a bad eye.
The Washburn nine will come down to-morrow and will play our nine at the park in the afternoon. We hope that no student of the University will be so penurious as to remain away on account of the trifling admittance fee charged. Everyone should consider it his moral duty to come out and encourage our players by applause and also to bring along his lady friend.
Rhea and company opened the opera house Monday night, and as there were about 200 students in the audience, a few words concerning the performance would not be out of place. The play was according to the French "idee" and was of course eminently silly. The requisites for a modern French or English play; stern father, aristocratic mother, noble son with dark bay moustache, dutiful heroine in $4 tow wig who loved her but can't marry him, no particular reason assigned, one hour of agony interspersed with jokes, etc—all these were present, and a few walking people to distract the hearers' attention from the poverty of action in the play. The play was written more to suit the costumes than anything else. Rhea's costumes, our lady friends tell us, were elegant, but her acting was very common. She had a stereotyped smile, a charming French accent and an excellent management of a three-foot train. She got worked up once or twice and took a promenade up to the foot lights, making a wild grab for the fringe hanging on the lower corner of the right hand box and said something in upper C which nobody understood. The play contained too many Noble "Jukes" and "Me Lords" for an American audience. However, it was Rhea and the best people said it was good and so everybody was satisfied.
The faculty have given Monday of Commencement week to the Senior class of the Pharmacy Department. The following program has been arranged:
Address of Welcome, Will Dick,
Historian, Sam Lindsay.
Prof. Wallace will lecture at the University on May 6th.
Review of Theses, Frank Prentiss. Some prominent pharmacist will address the class. The First Regiment Band has been engaged for the occasion; and the boys, since the faculty have at last granted them a day, will undoubtedly make it a success.
Address to class, Prof. Sayre.
No.33
We have a good lot of "views" this week from the students to which we commend the attention of the students and Profs. We are always glad to publish the views of any student upon any subject, if the subject is deserving of notice and handled decently.
Review of Theses, Frank Prentiss.
The Dixon Club which has been holding meetings in the court house Friday evenings, has adjourned until next fall. The society has entrusted the care of its books to Mr.H.C-Riggs and will meet again at the old rooms on the second Friday after the fall term begins.
The Seniors have completed their examinations, and are wandering to their homes to prepare their addresses and theses. Would that we could give them some word of advice as they enter this cold, dreary and lonesome world. But alas, this is no place for the valedictory.
The Seniors held a meeting Monday and appointed the following representatives for class day: President of the Day, Luella Moore; salutatorian, Edward G. Blair; hat speech, Jepha D. Davis; address to undergraduates, Chas. L. Smith; prophecy, Olive Thompson; valedictorian, Denton Dunn; orations, Messrs. Nickle Markley and H. D. Smith.
What the Courier Would Like to Know.
What you think of "D—— it all."
Why K. S. U. cannot be run on the plan of a German University.
Why a tardy mark counts a zero with some of our professors.
Why our "devil" does not fall into another scrape.
Why our majestic manager crowds out the fraternity games and if he hath an eye for the almighty dollar in so doing.
Why we do not have a tennis tournament and why "our girls" do not learn to play that pleasant game.
If the Washburnites still feel as confident of success and if "he who laughs best is not he who laughs last."
Why our crack tennis players do not arrange a series of games with the Washburn team.
Who will be the next editor-in-chief of the Review.
Who will be the next to pay his or her subscription to the "Lever."
Mlle Rhea visited the University last Monday and was shown over Snow Hall and the main building. She was more than pleased with Snow Hall and enjoyed her visit to the main building very much. While examining the philosophy apparatus, upon Franklin attempting to sing "Pansy Blossom" in French she murmured something about "asylum" and hastily left for the hotel.
---
The students will have the pleasure of listening to a lecture by Prof. Wallace, the eminent English naturalist, May 6.
The duel which was to occur at the "munnery" last week has been indefinitely postponed on account of one of the participants failing to appear at the appointed time.
The Hon. Henry Grady, of the Atlantic "Constitution" has been invited by the Regents to deliver an address here Commencement week. Mr. Grady stands foremost among our most noted writers and orators and his famous address on the "New South" is familiar to all.
Still improvement continues. An elegant drive, paved, etc., is being made from the main avenue around Snow Hall. Shade trees are to be planted on each side of the avenue and it will present an elegant appearance.
The University can now boast of the finest collection of concreations of the Dakota groupe to be found in the world. Judge West has worked hard in that department of Natural History and has at last obtained a collection we should feel proud of.
James Mears after donning his war paints and loading his shot gun with salt and pepper for some wayward students whom he supposed to be making raids on his flower garden on the campus, stood watch one night and it being quite dark, on hearing a slight noise in that direction, took aim and fired, and instead of making some boy feel uncomfortable for a short time, he killed a rabbit who in sullen silence was enjoying the sweet juice of the tulips. Mr. Mears wishes to apologize for his forcible language used toward some of our students and will hereafter wreak his vengeance on the rabbits.
The Juniors have completed Edwards on bills and notes and are now taking story on sales.
LAW.
Judge Horton delivered a very interesting lecture before the two classes, on Wednesday morning. His subject was the "Right of Eminem Domain" and was well received and greatly appreciated by the class.
M. L. Nelson has returned to his home in Independence, Kansas, an account of sickness. He will return in a few days.
The Senior class of the Law Department held a meeting Thursday night to elect their representatives for Friday evening of Commencement week. The following program was elected; President of the Day, J. W. Jackson; valedictorian, B. F. Hutchings; salutatorian, F. S. Pentzer; Historian, J. B. Harris; Prophet, B W. Blair; hat speech, Isaac Bradley; class poem, George Forrelich; music, Dan Crew. This will probably be one of the most interesting programs during the week.
Personal.
Miss Alice Ropes went to Topeka Saturday.
J. J. Mastin visited last week in Kansas City.
Prof. Canfield has a pet mouse in his class room.

W. R. Armstrong has changed his pledge to that of a brother and now wears the shield and dagger of Phi Delta Theta.
B. W. Woodward gave the Pharmacy class a very instructive lecture last Friday on "How to Become a Successful Druggist."
The many friends of Ross Wemple will be glad to learn that he has recovered from his recent illness and is again at his post at the Santa Fe depot.
P. P. Campbell, of Baker University, was in town Monday on a shopping expedition preparatory to his departure for Bloomington, next week.
Hereafter Sam Lindsey will be known as the champion pill compounder of the Pharmacy class, as he is at present at work on a pill the size of an average person's head and which will be used in the graduating exercises of that class. Our sympathies to the recipient.
J. W. Gleed has recently been in Washington, where he argued the celebrated Mugler case before the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Gleed represented the State of Kansas and Senator Vest was Mugler's attorney. Mr. Gleed thinks that a majority of the court will sustain the State law. It is a high compliment to Mr. Gleed to be employed upon such a case.

The Old University Building.
A few weeks ago the old University building, sometimes known as North College, which has been in use for several years as an imbecile asylum, was vacated by its inmates and its management and control has reverted back to the regents of the University. What is the best use to which the building could be put, has been an open question for some time. We propose that it be fitted up for the use of a dormitory for the young ladies attending the University. Of course its care and control as a dormitory would not necessarily have to be placed in the hands of the University authorities. It could be rented to some good reliable person or persons, or to some of the church organizations of Lawrence, and placed under a good, kind, motherly preceptress, such as would be loved and respected by every young lady placed in her charge. Perhaps their preceptress could be one of the University's choosing.
The location of this building for use as a dormitory could not be improved upon. Situated as it is on the north end of the hill, slightly below the level of the University, it affords an easy approach not only too and from the business portion of Lawrence, but also to and from the University. The approach along the ridge of the hill would do away with the hardship of climbing the long, tedious Adams street hill, hardships which are in some cases almost more than can be endured.
It is a most convenient distance, neither to long nor too short. And when the long expected Oread Avenue is completed, lined with substantial sidewalks and planted with beautiful shade trees, the way to and from the dormitory would be a most inviting one indeed, both in winter and summer.
The building is situated on the most beautiful portion of the hill, commanding a view, equaling, if not surpassing that of the main building. It is placed in the center of a large well sodded and well wooded campus, a plot of ground adequate in size not only for walks, gardens, etc., but also for croquet and tennis grounds, and the other harmless, yet pleasing sports by which the young ladies occupying the dormitory might not only amuse themselves but also take the exercise which every student so greatly nee is, but which is so neglected in our University.
The building itself, a three story stone, is ample enough to furnish both a large number of airy, well lighted, and well ventilated sleeping and study rooms and also parlors, reception rooms, dining rooms, wash rooms, gymnasiums, bath rooms and all apartments necessary.
We all feel that we would like to see the enrollment more evenly divided between the sexes. The summoning of more young ladies to our school can only be accomplished by the establishing of good dormitories for the special use of the lady students. Simply the appointing of a preceptress can do very little good, if any. It is dormitories which we must have.

Twenty-five years of married life—moving along happily, with children growing up an honor to their parents and friends—is what is not accorded to every one in this whirling changeable world. Yet that has been the experience of Judge and Mrs. A. G. Otis. Twenty-five years ago yesterday they were united in marriage in the city of Philadelphia, and soon thereafter came to Atchison, where they have since resided, and their career has been one of uninterrupted prosperity. As a lawyer, as a judge, as a banker, Sudge Otis is known and respected, not only throughout the State, but the west, and his high reputation has been the work of his own hands. He has been honored with official positions by the people, and has filled them faithfully. He has had the perfect confidence of all because he has shown himself worthy of it. Mrs. Otis has grown up with the society of Atchison, and has recognized, in the fullest sense, her obligations to it. As a friend, a neighbor, a true Christian lady, she has won the love and regard of a very large circle of friends and acquaintances. It must indeed have been a source of pleasure to the two whose lives had been passed together so happily, to see around them not only the children who had so faithfully obeyed the command, "Honor thy father and thy mother," but hundreds of friends with whom the best years of their life had been passed.
The occasion was not made one of ostentatious display; no presents were expected; it was a sincere tribute to Judge and Mrs. Otis by friends who had known them long and well. To say that the spacious rooms of the family mansion were crowded would be feebly express the idea. And yet all received that kindly, cordial welcome and kind attention that ever distinguishes genuine hospitality, and the hours passed most happily with social conversation and pleasant reminiscences of the old times in Atchison. It was a real union of friends and neighbors who had lived together for a quarter of a century. Among those present was ex-Gov. Glick (Judge Otis' former law partner), and his estimable lady.
In bidding good night to the host and hostess, and the children who had been born and raised under their roof, each guest expressed the wish that Judge and Mrs. Otis might live to celebrate a golden wedding as happily, and that no shadow might fall across their household in the intervening years. Atchison Champion,
Every time we look over the new discoveries made in the different branches of science, which come to our notice through the different periodicals, we are compelled to believe with the Comp d'état that Science is carrying things most too far. The discovery made by a German chemist of a process of making first class brandy out of saw dust, says the Comp d'état, cannot help but prove a serious obstacle to the temperance movement, we think so too, as all the aparatus necessary to aid a person in getting on a glorious "toot" is a buck saw and a fence rail, articles within the reach of everyone.
Mr. Samuel Moore has been appointed by the law faculty to represent his class at Commencement. This appointment is a good one and gives universal satisfaction. Mr. Moore was graduated with honors from the Western Reserve University at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1884, and made the hat speech for the Juniors last year,and is recognized as a pleasing and forcible speaker and will give the laws a representation of which they may well feel proud.
The Cottonwood Valley Times is on our table for the first time. Our old friend M. O. Billings assisted by J. H. Wheeland, late of the Commonwealth, are editors and publishers thereof. The sheet is neat and newsy and is far ahead of the general run of country exchanges. In his "bow" to the public. Billings says nothing about "having come to stay nor "filling a long-felt want' and consequently coupling this fact with our knowledge of the ability of Mr. Billings and his partner, we predict that the Times will be a success Here's to you," Deacon."

The Inter-State Oratorical Contest is to take place May 5, at Bloomington, Ill. The judges chosen are Gov. Foraker, of Ohio; Senator Hawley, of Connecticut; Rev. Phillips Brooks, of Boston; Hon. G. Pitman Smith, of St. Louis; Hon. Geo. R. Wendling, of Bloomington, and Johnson Brigham, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, editor of the Republican. The constitution requires that three of these shall be judges on delivery. It is an excellent plan, and one well adapted to the securing of a satisfactory result. When men as prominent as those named above are to judge of an oratorical contest, there ought to be no complaint against the result.—Ec.
We see by numbers of our exchanges that free discussions of religious and political subjects by Kansas University students is strictly forbidden in the chapel rhetorical work of that institution. We sincerely trust that this report is untrue as we hardly believe that the faculty of any State institution, much less of such an institution as Kansas University, would be guilty of such high handed measures. If, however, it is true, would it not be well for the people of that State to quit talking about free speech and free country until such a great wrong is righted. We thought the days of mental slavery were over, but it seems to remain to an alarming state, even in the progressive State of Kansas. Exchange.
We should like to know what benefit it is to be deprived from the new arrangement in chapel. That of sitting down a while and then bobbing up and again sitting down. It seems to us there is lots of red tape about this and if there is any good in it I should like to know. The faculty ought to publish a schedule showing just when to sit down and when to stand so that a green hand can go to chapel without being embarrassed through ignorance of the combination.
Natural History Notes. Baker has a large collection of fossils, some of which are as natural as life.
At the Emporia College the Natural History Department consists of a garter snake enclosed in a cracker box, and a cat minus one leg,mounted on broom wire. The catalogue,however,says that new specimens are being added as fast as the occasion demands:
The Natural History Department has added to its already extensive collection, the frame work of a huge megatherium. One of the Courier mimmons in search of a local happened in the west room of Snow Hall and took occasion to examine the beast. At first sight it has the appearance of an electric light tower struck with a club but as the eye gets accustomed to the pile, it assumes more definite proportions. The specimen seems to have been on the range, for some time and lacks symmetry. Its ribs are too prominent and its features seem rather too clear cut. There is a vacant far-away look along the stomach of the animal which reminds one strangely of the Lawrence boom. It is, or was before its demise, about seventeen feet long and ten feet high. Its front feet are perched upon a cast iron tree and when we tried to climb up and look at its teeth to see how old it was, Brown threw fossils and things at us and made us come down and said something in Latin about our being a damp hool, which we could not understand. Brown also said to our surprise that the specimen had been dead a long while, and when we asked him how he killed it, he looked tired and went off mumbling something about the fool killer. We felt hurt and went up stairs and asked Prof. Snow, who told us that the megatherium was a prehistoric beast and that this was not a real sure enough megatherium, but only a plaster paris one. He said it cost $300 and was the only one in this part of the country. We also learned that Mr. Brown and Judge West had done some fine work in putting the beast together and had saved the University about $300 in the operation. We would advise all who are interested in this matter and who would like to be able to tell a megatherium from an advanced case of pluro-pneumonia, to call in and examine it. Brown says for us to say that it is no trouble to show goods.
It is very amusing to read an account of the misfortunes of a trio of University girls in Junction City last week as is described in the Junction City paper. It seems that it was necessary for a small party of our girls who were on their way home to spend vacation, to change cars at Junction, but before Junction was reached, being weary from travel, they fell into sweet slumbers, from which they did not awake until Junction was passed when they made known their troubles to the conductor, who let them off a mile or so from town, just in time to see their train pulling out on the other road. All attempts at flagging it with handkerchiefs, parasols, hats and other feminine apparel proving fruitless, they were compelled to remain in Junction until the next day, a sadder but wiser lot of girls.

An Episode.
Prof. A. G. Canfield's classes have been entertained lately by the per-ambulations of two very affectionate little animals, commonly called mice. Last Thursday while the attention of the Sophomore class was drawn to the brilliant recitation of one of the superior members of that profound body, the aforementioned mice commenced their anties, and as "familiarity breeds contempt" they failed to display that wholesome respect for feminine shoes that the young ladies would have preferred to see them exhibit. One of the young ladies wishing to escape the torture of having a mouse crawling over her toes, wrote a note to a wretched youth sitting behind her, requesting him in the following language to come to her rescue, "Please do tell me if they come up here. I am afraid."
In vain the heartless youth with malice aforethought, ruthlessly abandoned the frightened maid to the tender mercies of the bold mice (the pair aggregating a full inch in linear extent) and keeping his feet en repas enticed the mice to her feet, when, with an agonizing scream, she sprang from her chair, and casting a look of terror at the fleeing mice.—[To be continued if the writer survives.]
We are requested by Assistant Kellogg to publish the following set of rules which he has adopted and which govern the laboratory work of the Freshman botany class. He says that Prof. Snow's wishes were consulted as far as possible in the preparation of these rules:
1. The assistant is the only person who is allowed the use of the index.
2. All refuse matter in the laboratory should be thrown in the pocket of your next neighbor. In case your next neighbor happens to be a girl, call the assistant and while he is busy, poke rubbish down his neck, taking care not to leave any protruding above his collar.
3. Students are positively forbidden from using "prod pins" to call the attention of instructors.
4. No student will be allowed to throw bulbs or roots at the assistant if such bulbs or roots weigh more than one pound.
5. In describing a plant students are requested to use the most elegant language they can command. For instance, in describing the plant known as Dutchman's breeches, you are solicited to use the words, trousers or pantaloons, in preference to breeches, which is not exactly *elot*.
6. No lady and gentleman are allowed to look through the same microscope at the same time.
7. While the assistant is looking through the scope ladies are requested to keep their front hair at least ten inches from the machine, as it rattles the assistant so that he can't tell a stamen from an azoic protoplasm.
8. Ladies or gentlemen breathing in the ear of the instructor while he is examining a plant will be fined ten cents.
6. The fine will be doubled if the odor of onions is detected on the breath of the student.
10. Any rules concerning the assistant or any instructor will hold good for profs, also.

The question that is stirring the mind of the curious student is, who will deliver the oration before the literary societies this spring. Blaine, Vilas, Schurtz, Lew Wallace and Ingalls are coming west about that time. Will it be one of these?
Why is it that there are so few books in the library about Kansas or by Kansas authors? E. W. Howe, of Atchison, is an author of national reputation, whose works have been praised by all the leading magazines of America and England, yet not a single line of his writing can be found in our "extensive library." Why should Kansas literature be neglected in a Kansas University?
