A very pleasant time was had, college anecdotes were resurrected and apparently enjoyed very much. Elaborate refreshments were served, and the somewhat extemporaneous affair was a complete success. -Journal.
The Library
An old student returning to K S U, cannot help noticing the marked improvement in our library facilities. A thing which has been long looked for, and much coveted has at last been consummated
From one room the library has been increased to three, from crowded, dingy quarters, spacious and comfortable rooms have been placed at our disposal. A University ever progressive as the University of Kansas has been, with talented men in our faculty and men of standing and financial ability in our board of regents and with a set of students ambitions to have the best facilities in our various departments, a library building should adorn Mount Oread; an honor and pride to the State of Kansas. Changes for the better have been wrought in our University in the last five years, the State has been generous in its donations and kindly feeling toward us, whatever we have asked for we have received, when consistent and advisable. With a spacious library building, an honor to the University, the members of our legislature will receive thanks and praise, from professors, alumni and students and our most hearty support.

Again the Courier is on hand to welcome back the old students and to extend a hearty greeting to the new. At the present writing it is impossible to tell, with any accuracy what the attendance for the year will be. But if indications are at all reliable it will be unusually large. Indeed the University's prospects never seemed brighter for a prosperous year. In spite of the fact that general business is somewhat dull, owing to the failure of crops through out a large portion of the State there has been an enormous demand for catalogues and larger inquiry than ever before for information about the University. While our warmest wishes are for a large attendance and a successful, prosperous year of work and study. Still in any event we will bring the Courier out as regularly as the week rolls around and make it as good as our finances and ability will permit. Experience has demonstrated the practicability of publishing two papers at K. S. U one a repository for the literary efforts of the students and the other, a chronicle to every day happenings and a record of student transactions. This latter field, the Courier companies and claims as its own; and in it will strive to excel. It will, as in its past be frank and fearless. It will criticize and praise where it thinks criticism and praise are deserved and above all will endeavor to be just to everyone. Now one word to all new students. This paper is published for students and by students, accordingly its columns are always open to every student, and it will always be ready to publish any well written, sensible communication Remember that the students of other colleges must form their opinions of our University largely from the papers which it publishes. It rests with you one and all to make these papers excellent or worthless. Remember that this is not a money making scheme, but that every cent made over expenses will go towards enlarging and beautifying the paper. We shall strive to make the Courier as interesting as possible, it is your duty to subscribe for it and aid it in every way possible.
Denton bHaggeoom, our able business manager, can furnish students contradictory testimony to the fish stories of Dyche, Eames and Brown, concerning their hunts in New Mexico, as that gentleman spent a great deal of the past summer in their so-called famous stamping grounds.
Mr. Glenn Miller, chief clerk of the C. St Fe. C.R.R., and a graduate of '84, will leave the 1st. of March for a trip around the world in company with three other young gentlemen ofasure. They will first visit Japan and China and then continue to encircle the earth. They expect to be gone two years.
There is an organized effort on foot to hang the man who sprang the gag about business being "rushing" at the University now.
The long looked for sidewalk, that has for many years been hoped, prayed and petitioned for, is being built on Adams street. Thanks.
A large number of students enjoyed a boat ride on the river Thursday evening. It is time to get your best girl and enjoy a ride in one of "Dollie's yachts."
Professor Carruth, the business manager of the baseball association, has been looking around for new students with baseball hunds. That is right, we want a club this year and a good one.
Professor William Brown, Professor Snow's able assistant, has during the past summer, skeletonized a large number of rodents, birds, snakes and etc. Mr. Brown's skill in this line was acquired from Professor Hormaday, U.S. taxedermist, at Washington, D.C. These specimens are well worth a visit from all students and visitors.
Professor James A. Canfield the eminent and popular professor of the political science department, has again been elected secretary of the National Teachers Association. This is not only a great honor conferred on the University, but also on the State of Kansas. The president of our State Agricultural College was elected president of the National Agricultural Association. Hurrah for Kansas!
Our Base Ballists.
The K. S. U. nine looses this year three of its best players, Jep Davis, Harry Deford and Ed. Esterly. These men are good stanch men and will weaken the nine considerably. If you know any good ball players among the new students, report him to the secretary of the club at once.
The Phi Psis have been looking and hunting this summer for a penant which they won in the interfraternity league last season.
Mo charges for ball games this year. The old fence and amphiteater around the grounds have been removed.
Obe. Taylor, the Phi Phis' champion twirler, will return to morrow.
F. C. Campbell, catcher for the K. S. U. nine, has been playing ball in Nebraska this summer.
Gilmore, last year's secretary and the champion center-fielder of K. S. U., spent the summer in Lawrence, reading law.
Jackson looks stronger than ever and they say can put "whiskers on the balls."
W. E. Curry, our genial clerk, is the man who used to catch for Washburn, and who held Brewster's lightning balls with ease.
Cunkle the Sigma Chi twirler, same in Wednesday. He has been with a surveying party in Colorado.

To New Students
You will kindly pardon us if we take the liberty of giving a little of that (to most persons odious) medicine—advice. For our intentions are generous and kindly and our experience with Kansas State University and her students is greater than yours.
Taking it for granted that you are here to make the most of time and the opportunities offered, we will omit the old and customery injunctions and admonitions about hard study, regular hours, good morals, etc., and pass on to other topics.
First, (for they are the first things you will hear about) the fraternities. Our advice is—go slow. Don't jump at the first opportunity that is offered you to join a fraternity. If you tend to your knitting and are not obstreperous you can, in time, have your pick. This is important and wholesome advice and someday you may remember it to your sorrow. For as the school and fraternities are constituted you will, of necessity, be thrown into constant association with the members of your own fraternity. From among them you will draw your companions and make your warmest friends. It is then of the utmost importance that you know well the character of all the different fraternities before you connect yourself with any particular one.
we do not mean to say that it is impossible for a man to rise superior to the influence of his associates, but it too often happens that this is not done, and in any case, associates do exercise some influence impossible perhaps to estimate, but effective none the less. The names of all the fraternities are equally high sounding and the badge of one has a glitter as bright as its rivals. But in its individual members and not in the name or the badge, the true merit of a fraternity inheres. As we have said, if you make yourself a valuable man you can have your pick, accordingly your best plan is to wait until you are satisfied that the men in a fraternity will be congenial companions, whose influence will elevate and not hinder and degrade you—then if you wish, join.
Next we would advise you, by all means, to connect yourselves with one of the literary societies; or if you are a specialist, with your department society. The students of Kansas State University have of late years been accustomed to underrate the value of these societies and have lost thereby a powerful instrument of culture the value of being able to express clearly and forcibly in language one's thoughts, is beyond calculation—it is priceless. Indeed it may be said that without this, liberal culture loses its greatest charm. The inside history of the University, and probably of all similar institutions, proves clearly enough that the best orators, the best debaters and even the best conversationalists that have left its halls were active working members in the literary societies. There can be no doubt about this, and observation and experience furnish innumerable cases in proof of it. If you have never belonged to a
literary society, you can have no adequate idea of how its work will stimulate thought and impel to investigation and study. If you do good work in this way, you will derive almost as much benefit from it as from your class room recitations. After you have joined make it your object to kill off the would-be politicians, for politics have always been the bane of the literary societies, destroying them in some instances and ennervating always.
Lastly—don't be a hermit. Mingle freely with your fellow students, interest yourself in student affairs and be always agreeable and companionable. Of course this can be overdone and become injurious, but your good sense will direct you where to draw the line. But in any case, don't be a hermit. Remember that education and collegiate education are two different things. The word collegiate means collected or assembled together. From association with men of brighter mind and quicker wit our own minds are brightened and sharpened; this is one of the chief benefits of a large institution where many are assembled together. By mingling freely with your fellows you will meet many brighter and smarter than yourself and emulous rivalry with them will benefit you immeasurably. Then too, it is well to remember that next to ability and brains the knack or genius of making friends is the greatest aid to worldly success. This power is enhanced by exercise and cannot be possessed by a man who shuns companionship with those about him.
The vast number of children, young men and women who this week will commence their studies, is truly marvelous. According to the Inter-Ocean in the city of Chicago alone there are sixteen hundred teachers have already reported for duty and it is expected that from eighty to one hundred thousand students will be enrolled. This is larger than the army Grant had at Shiloh, or Rosecrans at Stone River, Mead at Gettyburg or Sherman on his march to the sea. More than the combined population of the three leading cities of Kansas, Atchison, Topeka and Leavenworth. In these schools and colleges the character of the men and women of the succeeding generation will be formed. Perhaps a future president is grinding at his books in some of our city schools, born of humble parents striving to take a stand in the world. The city of the anarchists and communists, ahe city over which the red flag has held such dreadful sway for the last ten years, the community in which the leaders of the tragedy of a year ago are now wailing the death penalty, is to be congratulated on the progress made in its school system.
A MOVEMENT is on foot by the colored citizens of Kansas and especially of Atchison to erect and endow a colored college. They have asked the citizens of Atchison for twenty-five thousand dollars for the erection of one of the laboratories promising to add to this sum one hundred thousands.
and dollars. This is a wise and progressive movement on the part of the colored race. This will be the only college of the kind in the west and would undoubtedly be well supported and liberally patronized.
The faculty have adopted the rule that none but professors and members of the Senior class will be allowed to enter the book department of the library. It will be necessary for all others to receive books from the librarian and assistants. A great many books have been lost in the past by students removing them from the cases and forgetting to replace them, and by this rule the faculty will be able to watch more closely the books in the various departments.
View.
Once again the question as to the advisability and almost necessity of establishing a gymnasium, arises. This has been discussed time and time again in both the city papers. As yet nothing has been done either by the students, professors or regents. It is impossible for the former to establish one, without the corporation of the latter. The answer always given by the professors, concerning our natural arena in climbing Mount Oread is getting to be a chestnut. Two hundred and fifty dollars judicially expended, would fit one out with an apparatus and would be a credit to K. S. U. Of course it would only be in an embryoic state, but with the aid and assistance of future classes and with the assistance of our alumni it would take root and grow and in comparatively few years we could invite members of eastern colleges to visit it and glory to show them a gymnasium which not even an eastern college would spurn. Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Williams and other colleges of note have placed from twenty-five to one hundred thousand dollars in establishing institutions of this kind. It is a shame and disgrace that the leading college of Kansas and the west cannot support a gymnasium of even small proportions

To that "New Student."
See him coming up the hill, tired and weary hear him puff, now he fumbles with his cuff, looking scared and feeling rough, see him coming up the hill.
See him standing in the hall, looking anxiously around, seeking things that can't be found, starting at each unknown sound, see him gawking through the hall.
See him going through the rush, in the sunshine he is basked when by some "frat" he is "asked," see him blush with joy unmasked when he's going through the rush.
Will he be a "bard" or Greek?
Will the Phi Gams or the Betas, Phi Pris or Phi Delta Thetas, Sigma Chis or Nus be fleetest, in this race of gall and cheek?—[From "where is my wandering boy to-night," by our fool poet.

Since it is necessary this year to remain at the University all day it is a serious question with some, as to what we are going to do with the "inner man." Arrangements have been made with Geo. Fallley whereby students may get a lunch at his counter at noon in the basement. By boarding at his restaurant at $3 per week, a dinner at the counter can be substituted for one in town. This makes it very desirable for those who have to stay at the University all day and a better place cannot be found in Lawrence to board than his well known and popular restaurant. Ticket can be had by those who desire lunches only. See him and make arrangements accordingly.

To Our Successors.
To the incoming editorial board of the Courier—not the editor-in-chief, for he will doubtless know more about the business than the writer—a word of advice from one who has been a year in the mill might not be out of place. It is not the purpose of this article to tell you how to run a paper, but to tell you what not to run in the paper.
Don't use "we" on the local page. It makes the editor-in-chief mad, and is not good taste anyway.
Don't try to be funny; as a general rule you will make people tired.
Don't try to write poetry. You can't do it, you know. One of the present board resigns to recuperate a constitution broken down by the poetry habit. He could have held his position this year, but for his trouble with his muse—poor White.
EDITOR CRURIER: I have not yet joined any fraternity, although I have been invited by two or three to join. The last frat that asked me, introduced some girls to me who advised me to join that frat. What would you do? Are girls' opinions and advise good in such cases? Please answer through your columns.
Don't, beyond all things, fail to hand in your stuff every week.
NEW READER.
Mr. New Reader, the Courier would advise you to keep your head cool where a girl rushes you. Ladies are the most successful rushers, but also the most prejudiced. Use your own judgment and if you think that the fraternity uses the girls as a device to hide its poverty, shake it; but if you think the boys simply wish you th meet their girls that you may know their frat's standing, all right. Any way, don't be in a rush.
Local.
The Lawrence Business Academy opened up Monday.
The Betas had a little "feed" in their hall Saturday night.
The campus looks delapidated. Let Jinnie get his work in.
The Law Department opened on Thursday with a good attendance.
The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity have established their quarters at the Lawrence house.
Unless they hurry things along the University won't be heated until nearly Christmas.
The work of raising the west wall of the building will not be completed until cold weather.
A sample of the new 155 foot Ellsworth salt vein is being analyzed in the chemical laboratory.
The chemical department has received a lot of specimens of boiler scale from our late superintendant, W. J. Parrish.
The chairs for Snow Hall will soon arrive. They are of the opera variety, and are the finest in the University.
There should be a new catalogue of the Library issued AT ONCE. If the students can't examine the books they should at least have a catalogue.
The Senior class will receive next week the back-study cards from the committee of the faculty. If you see a Senior shake you will know what has happened.
The entire Senior class of the Pleasanton High School, consisting of eight girls, has entered K. S. U., and that town in the future will be known as Dismalton.
There are only six Seniors in the Pharmacy department. Quite a falling off from the previous year, but the delinquency is fully made up by the able set of young men who have entered the Junior year.
Ths Law Department opened this morning with twenty good men in attendance. They have use of the rooms formerly occupied by Prof. Williams and also the old library room.
The Sigma Chi goat got in his work on three victims Tuesday night and the names of J. W. Root, '88, of Wyandotte, Eugene Sharum, '91, of Yates Center, and Chas. Vorhees, '91, of Russell, are added to the list.
The Atheneum Literary Society will render its first program for the college year in the old Oread room, south side, third floor, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. This young society is composed entirely of active, willing members, and a good program is anticipated. New students who wish to obtain that training which only a literary society can give, and all who are interested in literary and oratorical work are cordially invited to attend. Remember the place.
Dr. Jenkins, of the Connecticut agricultural experiment station, has sent to the chemical department a valuable set of commercial fertilizers. They will be used in the illustration os lectures and for analysis by students.
The Phi——, excuse us, but they won't, either. We were going to say something about somebody "entertaining their lady friends this evening," but subsequent developments have caused it to be postponed. Tisn't a good day for dancing, anyhow.
Kansas students, if you want your University to succeed, work. Don't think chin work will make a school, for it wont; it takes good hard boning, early and late. Get up the reputation of the University for work and turn out good men and its future is assured. No school can succeed without study by its students.
Young gentlemen who have been calling upon their solid girls two or three times a week have been informed by the landlads where said girls are stopping that they will be permitted to call but once a week. The landlads say this is official. And it came to pass that there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of celluloid teeth.
The opening address of the University was made last Friday morning by Rev. Cameron Mann, pastor of the Episcopal Church of Kansas City, and one of the most eminent divines in the west. His subject was, "The Object of an Education." Not only was the delivery of the speaker excellent, but by his well-chosen and finely-expressed remarks he held the close attention of his audience. His closing remarks were: "This is the work of the University, to train and store your minds so you can think and reason rightly; to give you powers of observation that will open the world of truth around you, so that you in turn can open the eyes of others. This is your object here, and in pursuit of it I wish you God speed."
Hushed are the birds that sat in the eaves, and poured forth their melodious sweet; like tears of the wind fall the fluttering leaves, round a mansion on Tennessee street. The voices that rang, with the songs that they sang, in the halls are all silent I trow, for the maiden's have left, the mansion bereft, and the Nunnery's not running now. The grass now is creeping where dainty feet trod, the hired girl sits on the stoop, and instead of the students to tear up the sod, the hens are let out of the coop. At the windows no more do we see half a score of faces; no more do we bow, but sadly pass on, and sigh that they're gone, for the nunnery's not running now. — [From "Lays of Lawrence and Other Songs," by Campbell Watson.

Notice to Subscribers
The price of the Courier has been raised from fifty cents to one dollar a year. This is a step that has been contemplated, by the management for a long while. At the present price the Courier costs subscribers less than one and a half cents per copy, less than any publication, civic or college, weekly or daily, in the country. It does not pay for the quality of paper upon which it is printed. With the advance in price we hope to make the Courier more interesting and attractive than ever before.
We are under obligations to W. A. White for the literary matter in this edition of the Courier.
The Courier would like to know, not necessarily for publication, but as evidence of good faith, how the young ladies of K.S. U. stand on the subject of female suffrage. We will venture the assertion, however, that the majority are against it.
THE University "ad" on the back of the Review, for which our e- teemed contemporary received $100 per year, has been discontinued for lack of funds. Probably our e.c. will change the even tenor of its way and be less neutral on subjects which well subjects which concern the students' interests.
EVERY student in the University should read Senator Ingall's article in the September Forum upon the "Sixteenth Amendment" Even if you dont believe the Senator's way, read it anyhow and learn something of the Kansan who is so peculiar, so original and so well known and admired in the effete East. Look him up. ___
The Emporia State Normal has something like a thousand students. So much for judicious advertising. The Normal expends every year $1,500. Let people know what kind of a school it is, and as a consequence a big attendance pays it back in contingent fees. The appropriation for advertising was the nominal sum of $300. Evidently the management of K. S. U. don't believe much in advertising.
Friends of the University.
The University has more friends and warmer friends, among the prominent men of the state than any other institution in the state. Her friends are growing in numbers and influence every day. In the newspaper fraternity, her friends compose nearly if not all the prominent editors—we would call them journalists but the name is odious to them—in the state. Here the most stalwart friend of the University is Noble L. Prentiss. Although the graduate of a printing office with but a common school education, Prentiss' work shows him to be a man of deep culture, of broad mind and with all that goes to make him a possessed gentleman. Next in ability although first in influence was John A. Martin, of the Atchison champion. Mr. Martin is honored by the official position of Governor of Kansas, but in his official capacity he does not forget his friendship for the State's favorite educational institution. Though never very demonstrative, D. R. Anthony of the Leavenworth Times, when he is not shooting or being shot, is a warm supportdr of the State University. J. K. Hudson always uses the Capitol to help our school but the Barker family of the Commonwealth, are inclined to be rather cool at times. The Murdock family, including Marsh Murdock of the Wichita Eagle, T. B. Murdock, of the El Dorado Re-publican, and his brother-in-law Jake Stotler, of the Emporia Globe—recently defunct—are generally neutral but can be counted as friends of K. S. U. Web Wilder, the only collegiate we have mentioned, is and always has been in favor of the University. Until about three years ago old Sol Miller was a bitter enemy to the University, but one cold winter evening, when the Senate was in session and he had been giving some pretty hard licks to the "Lawrence High School" as he called it, old Sol came down from Topeka and went through the building at the dead of night, being shown over by his nephew Glen Miller. Since then he has remained silent and last summer condescended to print a very flattering notice of Professor Jas. H. Canfield, for whom Miller has a profound respect—possibly because they are so much alike—Miller and Canfield. With the exception of M. W. Reynolds of this city, who is of course our friend, thus composes a majority of the best newspaper men of Kansas.
But why is there such unanimity in the support of the State University, these men were, with one exception, educated in the world's school and are men of hard, uncharitable sense. As a general rule they oppose a college bred man, but for the University they have a kind word and extend a welcome hand to her graduates. There is but one answer to this and that is the fact that men whom these men meet, coming from the University, are living recommendations for that institution. The old boys look to the institution they have fostered to bring forth their successors, and they do not look in vain. Among the brightest, most promising
W. Gleed and, last but by no means least, Miss Ethel Beecher Allen, have all done their alma matter honor with the editorial quill, while L.H. Leach has done her credit in the legislative hall.
K. S. U. is proud of her friends and prouder still that her sons have won them.
Another Good Word for Kansas. Fred, A. Stocks, of '85, delivered the following address before the old settlers of Blue Rapids. It has been quite extensively copied by the State press, and the Courier can do no less than give a corner to its former editor-in-chief:
Your anniversary rells forcibly to our minds the fact that Kansas has a history, a history glorious in the extreme, oftentimes colored with romantic tints, yet comprised within the short space of a decade—events heavily freighted with importance to our state and nation. Here some of the first victories for human liberty were won, pressuring the result of the final conflict. Here John Brown, the heroic leader of a fearless band, struck the first blow in that philanthropic cause, to which he at last sacrificed his life, and in which he won a martyrs' crown. Here thousands of people risked life, friends, everything, and for what? For an idea—a freedom. It was Kansas that sent more men to the late war, compared with her population, than any other state in the union. Out from the ashes of drouth, grasshoppers, cyclones and adverse criticism, she has risen. Phenxixlike, to be a state of a million and a half people, her landscape dotted with villages, towns and cities, her surface netted with railroads; a state rich in her natural resources and unsurpassed in the quality of her citizen. Surely hers is an eventful history, teening with results most satisfactory to every lover of freedom, equality and progress.
We would ask in whose honor does our commonwealth shine forth resplendent as a perpetual monument? What workman wrought her fundamental laws, the foundation stones on which have been built a most equitable state government? Who have redeemed the wild prairies from the domain of the wilderness, the fancied great American desert of forty years ago, and caused them to bud and blossom? Who have helped to fill Kan-sas with happy, prosperous homes, to build school houses on each rise of ground, to place the right of municipal franchise in the hands of women, who could have aced a more advanced and manly part than the old settlers of the state of Kansas.
"They crossed the prairies, as of old
The pilgrims crossed the sea,
To nake the west, as they the east
The homestead of the free."
But I would not speak of the men alone who came to Kansas in an early day. If they are deserving of praise for breaking the ties which held them to their eastern friends, in order to seek a new home in the far west, or to battle in the cause of freedom much more do the women who accompanied them deserve eulogy. Victor Hugo says: "He who has seen the sufferings of men has seen nothing, let him look upon the sufferings of women." Burdened with the many drudgeries attendant upon frontier life, deprived of the luxuries and comforts that make one happy, in constant fear of death from the Indian's tomahawk or the white ruffian's rifle, without anything which resembles that which women love, society—alone—miles from the nearest neighbor, separated, perchance, by half a continent from their fathers and mothers, I say to them too, honor is due. And in reason of their famed generosity, kind-heartedness and patient endurance, I would offer this sentiment, dear to every true Kansan's heart:—The pioneer women of Kansas, none were more noble, more pure, more thoroughly womanly in its broadest and best sense than they.

The New Regime.
Last spring it was rumored that there was to be many changes in the University this year. These rumors were to a greater or less degree verified with the publication of the new catalogue. There were the "major and minor courses" to puzzle the juniors, the crowding down of studies to rack the brains of the lower classmen, and the substitution of theses for chapel work to invite either praise or profanity from all sides. Here the catalogue stopped; but the old familiar pages of the book which had greeted us with the same message year after year, were torn out and their places filled with strange unlooked for and unheard of substitutes. From this fact there were "wars and rumors of wars." Accordingly, the opening of this year the "new regime" began. The old student was first awakened to the fact when he tried to pay his fees in the good old way over the counter; but he was compelled to sign a statement, like a dry prohibitionist. Next he was confronted with the pigeon like system in the library, and from the chapel rostrum that moss covered precept was drawn forth from its slumber in the catalogue regarding uneexceptional deportment and strict attention to University duties and proclaimed as the motto of the baptised, regenerated University. Between the lines this means more system, less toleration, more faculty prerogatives and fewer student privileges, death to delinquents and the final evolution of a Kansas college into an Eastern high-class University.
To some of the old students the new order of things seems irrelevent, but in most cases the change is for the better. Many see in this tightening of the lines a falling off of the warm friendly relation between professor and pupil, but all can see a promise of better, harder work to balance the loss.
In the reconstruction we can trace the fine Italian hand of Henry Waterson's "star eyed goddess of reform," but whether the "Eastern idea" contains the elements of success or whether it is another of the many "isms" which seek a refuge in Kansas and her institutions, remains only for time to tell. Let us hope that it may succeed and work as we hope.
We have the best school in the best, boomingest state in the most glorious country on earth, and if there is anything in surroundings, our KANSAS University is bound to succeed.
Miss Morrow
A letter from Miss Morrow, dated Rosario, Argentine Republic, South America, and written early in July, announces her preparation for a speedy return to the United States. It will be borne in mind that the school vacation in the Argentine Republic falls naturally in December, January and February; consequently she received the news of her appointment to the University of Kansas about the middle of the school year. She at once made her arrangements to accept the position offered her in Lawrence and, if no delays occur, will reach New York in October.
Miss Alcinda L. Morrow is a Kansas woman, not a native of the state, but a Kansan by choice and adoption. She was well known in the state as a teacher when in 1877 the Board of Regents elected her to a position in the University. She performed the duties of her office so acceptably that, when three years later she resigned, her withdrawal was most deeply regretted by students faculty and Regents.
Many changes have taken place in the University of Kansas since Miss Morrow knew it seven years ago. To her Snow Hall and the Chemistry Building will, of course, be new. But these are only outward indications of the advance that has been made by the University in every direction. The faculty is larger, the number of collegiate students is greatly increased, the departments are multiplied. The facilities for instruction bear no comparison with the meagre display of which the friends of the institution were justly proud a decade ago. In our present faculty Professor Morrow will meet eight of her former associates; namely, Professors Snow, Robinson, Miller, Canfield, Williams, Marvin, Carruth and Green.
It is easy to gather from the letter referred to above, that Professor Morrow does not leave her work in South America without regret. Her reluctance in quitting a field where she has met with pre-eminent success needs no explanation nor any apology. When she went to Rosario she found a little school, in the Normal Department of which there were but twenty-five students, occupying an insignificant house ill adapted to school work. Now the Normal School, of which she has been principal, numbers five hundred students and contains all the departments of a thoroughly organized Normal School from the Kindergarten to the highest courses in Pedagogy. Of course the original school house has given place to ampler buildings. But this is not all. The city of Rosario has recently given a park and the national government (the Republic) has furnished the means for erecting therein a normal school building that shall be a model in architectural design and completeness of arrangement for all that country. The enlargement of the buildings, the increase in the number of students, and the popular confidence in the educational methods of the institution, are undoubtedly due in pre-eminent measure to the well directed labors of Professor Morrow. Her work, however, has not been confined to her own school alone. The school system of the Republic has felt the inspiration of her enthusiasm Teachers educated under her have carried her methods and her spirit into the public school system of the state. Promident in Professor Morrow's work has been the translating of the best American school books into the Spanish language for the use of the Argentine schools. One of the publications of A. S. Barnes & Co.,she now has in course of translation.
The success of this educational enterprise and its promising future, are due to the skill, the energy, the organizing ability of its principab

Miss Morrow. That a lady of such rare scholarship, culture and superior ability comes to strengthen the faculty of the University of Kansas, is matter of gratulation. Her friends in the faculty, in the city of Lawrence and in the state will extend to her a most enthusiastic welcome. The students will find in her a most generous friend, a wise counsellor, a thorough and accomplished teacher. Her welcome in the University will be genefous and enthusiastic.
At Rest.
al ene, are the recipal,
Below will be found the obituary notice of H. B. Hamilton of '87, taken from his home paper, the Kingman Courier:
"Died, at the residence of his parents, on North Spence street, Thursday, Sept. 8. Henry Beecher Hamilton. He was born in Decatur county, Indiana, June 29, 1863. At the age of 18 years he entered the Sophomore year of Wrabsh College, but on account of ill health was obliged to quit school before graduating. He spent about two years in New Mexico and California seeking to regain his long vigor, and thickking he had fairly reestablished his health, he came to Kansas something more than a year ago, and entered the State University at Lawrence, where a too close an application to studies again undermined his already not too robust constitution and within too months of graduation, he was again compelled to abandon his school which was a severe blow to the ambitious young man. He was selected, it will be remembered, to represent the University at the state oratorical contest. Henry was an exceedingly bright young man, far above the average, and his relatives are doudly bereft. He went to Colorado last May and only returned about two weeks ago. He died surrounded by all his relatives and cheerful to the end."
The above notice tells briefly of his life and his untimely death. Of his life in this institution and his irreproachable character, all of us are acquainted, and a further mention would be as superfluous to his
many friends as it would be meaningless to strangers. He was an active member of Sigma Chi, but, moved by a common sorrow, all who knew him can extend a fraternal hand to his brethren, by whom he is sincerely mourned.
The Courier Rises to Remark
That this is the last number of this paper under the present management.
That an election of editors will be held to-day and
That we pity the successful candidate unless he expects to work.
That Falley is going to put a lunch counter down stairs.
That the zoology class will have their specimens in easy range hereafter.
That a street car company running up Oread would coin money.
That more work and less "funny business" is expected this year of the students by the faculty.
That the faculty are right, but
That flesh is human.

I pay $25 to take law and I am prohibited from taking one or two studies in the collegiate department. The Pharmicos pay the same and are allowed this privilege. This is not justice, I think, and the faculty should do something to give the laws a good show or they will go where it is to be had. JUNIOR.

Last Friday evening the members of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity entertained their lady and gentlemen friends in their spacious and elegant hall in the Eldridge House block. It was the first party given this season in University circles, and the occasion was indeed a pleasant one. Dancing and card playing were indulged in, and in the company of the young ladies, among the most charming in the University and city circles, the evening passed by too rapidly. Music was furnished by the Italian Orchestra, and an elegant lunch was served at Grosscup's. The following were present: Misses Lyle and Emma Hynes, May Webster, Fullerton, Kate Wilder, Lucile Pennibaker, Martique Babcock, Nellie Griffith, Mamie Tisdale, Mannie Lyons, Nettie Brown. Messrs, Valentine, Curdy, Morgan, Crowell, Blair Otis, Johnson, Craig, Smith, Brooks Fullerton, Lyons, Jackson, Hoge boom.
Notice!
New and old students are hereby notified that Smith is still here in Lawrence at the News Depot. He has on hand the best line of imported cigars, cigarettes and tobaccos that can be found in the city. Call and see him in the Eldridge House block.
Since it is necessary this year to remain at the University all day it is a serious question with some, as to what we are going to do with the "inner man." Arrangements have been made with Geo. Falley whereby students may get a lunch at his counter at noon in the basement. By boarding at his restaurant at $3 per week, a dinner at the counter can be substituted for one in town. This makes it very desirable for those who have to stay at the University all day and a better place cannot be found in Lawrence to board than his well known and popular restaurant. Ticket can be had by those who desire lunches only. See him and make arrangements accordingly.

Hon. Geo. R. Peck, of Topeka, has presented to the Department of Music the complete pianaforte works of Chopin, in three volumes. Mr. Peck is one of the firmest friends of the University to be found in the State, and is pleased to manifest his interest not by kind words alone but by generous gifts as well. The Department of Music is to be congratulated on this increase of its library facilities.
Saturday afternoon the young ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta held an open meeting and entertained their lady friends at the home of Mrs. Dudley C. Haskell. Carriages conveyed the many guests to the place of meeting, and the afternoon was passed pleasantly and enjoyably. The Kappa Alpha Theta's have begun the year under most favorable circumstances and success is greeting them on every hand.
Through some mistake an article appeared in our last issue to the effect that the Pharmacy department had only six Seniors. This is a great injustice to that department, which has grown in the last three years, under the careful management of Prof. Sayre, to be one of the best and most thoroughly equipped pharmaceutical departments in the West. The number of students in that department number forty, of which sixteen instead of six are Senior.
Miss Watson has struck upon quite a novel plan of admitting students into the alcoves of the library. She has issued tickets to the Juniors and Seniors; she has also provided a rack which holds twenty tickets—this being the number of students that can conveniently operate in the alcoves without disturbance to one another.Each student on entering the library deposits the ticket in this rack, and when it is full the next comer has to wait till some one comes out to enter.
The Washburn Argo is among the first of our exchanges to arrive, and we greet it with a hearty welcome. But when in its first issue it states that a young man, a former student of that institution, after investigating the facilities, etc., of the University of Kansas, finally decides to return to Washburn, it states the truth. The young man in question came to our institution to investigate its facilities as is stated above, took one glance at our curriculum, and the first question in an examination for admission to the sub-Freshman class, and finally deciding that he could not even enter our lowest class, he took the first train to Washburn. We don't know what class he belongs to in that college, but we could have informed him before, if he had taken the trouble to write, that all classes below the sub-Freshman have been dropped for the last two years.

From the Press of P. T. FOLEY.
Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas,
as second-class matter.
With this issue of the COURIER a new board of editors takes control, and we humbly make our little bow. Fully appreciating the fact of our inability to control the COURIER in a manner adequate to the necessities of a good College Journal we can only apologize for the present issue and for all subsequent issues which do not meet with your approval.
Our object is to make the COURIER, as it always has been, the student's paper. A paper unprejudiced by party spirit, a paper which as far as possible will look after the interests of the students, professors and the University and a paper which will defend with its diminutive "cotton balls" all uncalled for and unprovoked attacks on the University.
With all factions, fraternities, cliques and classes represented we hope to have the endorsement and support of all students and professors of the University. To the business men of Lawrence we would address a few words. Through the Courier, you will find the best advertising medium not only in reaching the students but also the citizens of Lawrence.
Business men should not estimate too low the value of securing a set of patronizers who leave with them every nine months from one-hundred to one-hundred and fifty tsousand dollars.
To all students our columns are ever open for the expression of their view on all points, and contributions will be thankfully received.
The Courier will always express openly its views on all subjects. We will not be pugnacious but will criticise when necessary and expect to be criticised in turn.
We also desire to say once for all that the Courier is in no way under the supervision or management of the faculty or regents of the University of Kansas and the editors will be responsible for all articles which appear in its columns.
We can only hope that the Courier like the "Ship of State" will sail smoothly on and that her course will be toward the right, the just, and the honorable, a credit to ourselves and to the great, grand, and progressive
University which to a certain extent we represent.
We will enter on no panegyric on the past board of editors and management. They need none. Their work is before you a credit to themselves.
An editorial appears in the "Independent of last week on the "Spirit of Specialism." Maurice Thompson the writer claims that the tendency toward specialism is dangerous to useful scholarship. In a clear, demonstrative and lucid style he logically proves that for a young man or woman to become a specialist is an hallucination and a mistake. We co-operate with the view of the author, and although the naturalist may endeavor to prove that no man can know two things thoroughly, and the stoic preach that, "It is better to know much about little than little about much," we beleive that it is an erroneous doctrine for a young man to so narrow his mind, as to place his whole time, energy and study on "The growth of Fungi" or the "Nature of the Infusoria." The author finds a vast difference between specialism and a specialist. "A difference as real as that between selfishness and a liberal recognition of the value of limited supremacy." The article is one of unusual clearness and merit and we would advise all students to read it thoroughly.
Our bright students are seldom our best ones. It is much more frequently the case than otherwise, that a student wanting a genius for quick comprehension and moderate originality, but possessing the invaluable genius for hard work is the leader of his classes. The number of bright fellows whose college lives are failures is surprising. The college boys who write an article far from common and never distinguish themselves afterwards, who on some occasion deliver an oration much above the average to everybody's surprise and then again sink into insignificance are legion. "They are bright fellows, if they could but apply themselves," we hear of far too many. But alas, they never apply themselves. We are forced to the conclusion that to be endowed with an especial aptitude for acquiring knowledge is to be endowed with a dangerous blessing. It makes it possible to get along with so little work that the temptation is almost irresistible to go with everything half learned, which is nothing really learned. The result of it all is that instead of college life having been in anyway a good training, he leaves school in no better condition than when he entered. He hasn't learned to be methodical, he hasn't learned to control himself, nor to apply himself. We do not mean to say that all boys are bright who do not learn these things, but that a great many who could do so, fail, where their pride would have compelled success had it not been so easy to get along without. So we say to those who have always been held to be bright boys, beware lest, through the very ease with which you perform your work, you fail to learn that which of all things you should learn, method application, self-control.
It is a fact, well known to all who have attended school here within the past few years, that the students of K. S. U. have not, within that time at least, won a very remarkable reputation for skill and excellence in athletics. It is hardly possible that the young men who come here are less capable of physical development than those who attend other colleges and universities, or that they could feel less interested in college sports, if only once their attention was strongly drawn in that direction. That we cannot, for the present, expect much material encouragement and support in this line, from the faculty and board of regents, is evident from our numerous previous experiences and our so far futile attempts to get a well-equipped gymnasium, let us do the next best thing and take advantage of the material and resources which we have at hand. There are plenty of men in school who can play ball fairly well; and these with regular training and practice might soon acquire a creditable degree of skill and proficiency. Let us lend all possible encouragement to our base ball association to take hold of these men and get them in proper form. The association is willing to do all in its power, but it can accomplish but little without the help and co-operation of the students. If all would take an enthusiastic and active interest, there is no reason why K. S. U. should not have a ball nine which could meet on equal terms any college or amateur club in the state. But, in order that our nine may be a success next spring when the ball season opens, it should be organized as soon as possible, and all promising material should be thoroughly tried and the players selected this fall. If this is done the club can commence practice as early in the spring as the weather will permit, and when other clubs are ready to play, ours will be ready to meet them. It might, perhaps, be well to organize the Fraternity Nines again. For, although they might draw aside some of the interest which ought to be centered in the University Club, they would certainly be a good preparatory school for it and would be able to furnish it with some excellent material. Profiting by our former experience, let us take hold of this matter immediately and not delay too long and thus be compelled to suffer frequent defeat next season as we have for several seasons past.
so plain. Students in music are admitted to other classes free, and this too in the face of the fact that Collegiate Studies do not directly assist one in the study of music while in the case of law, studies in such as International Law in Prof. Canfield's department are absolutely connected with the study of law.
A New idea of economy seems to have struck the Regents of the University respecting the Laws taking Collegiate studies. Formerly it was held out as an inducement to those wishing to study law to come to the University that they would be admitted to Collegiate Classes without extra charge but now that the attendance in the Law Department has grown to such gigantic proportions that the University can no longer accommodate the students seeking admission the Regents have made a ruling that law students wishing to take other studies must pay the "usual contingent fee;" this may be all very wise and economical but the justice of the thing does not appear
Now is this discrimination just?
And further is it wise for the Kansas State University to begin to hedge students away from a broader education by these petty and partial restrictions? ___
One of the finest and most skillful pieces of engineering that Lawrence ever saw is under way at the University. The original builders of the main building in digging for the foundation did not dig down to solid rock, and as a consequence the walls have settled several inches, making the building almost unsafe. At the last session of the legislature $5,000 was appropriated toward fixing the foundation. This Summer W. A. Bovard, of Kansas City, was awarded the contract to repair the foundation of the south wing. His men commenced work on the building a little over two weeks ago, and they have it fairly under way at this time. They have to dig five feet below the original foundation, support the building on pillars and put a new foundation wall in. It will take all Fall and part of the Winter to finish the south wing, and it will require one or two years to put the whole building in shape, at a cost of twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars.
Last week the Courier informed its readers of the untimely death of H. B. Hamilton, one of the class of '87, therefore it is useless to again recite his noble qualities and the traits of his character that indeared him to every one who knew him. Below are the resolutions of sorrow of the fraternity in which he was an honored member.
We, the members of Alphi Xl Chapter of Sigmi Chi Fraternity, having received the sad intelligence of the death, at his home in Kingman, of our worthy and beloved brother Henry Beecher Hamilton, recognize in our loss and bereavement the hand of an all-wise and benificent God.
This chapter and the fraternity at large have sustained in the death of our brother, who has so distinguished himself by his superior abilities, and given promise of such a brilliant future, an irrepareable loss; yet we bow in submission to Him who orders all things for the best and whom chastisements are meant in mercy.
Therefore be it resolved, that we sincerely condole with his sorrowing family and share with them the deepest sympathy in that we have lost a brother who has greatly endeared himself to us by his noble and manly qualities.
Resolved, that the members of this chapter wear the badge of mourning for thirty days and that these resolutions be published in the SIGMA CHI, the papers of Kansas University and spread upon the minutes of the chapter.

A Voice from the Sand.
Taking it for granted that the Courier has not followed the example of Oread Society or of the Frat. Annual, and died an untimely death; I take up my pen to write a few lines for it as it starts out on another year.
Although the alumni and old students of K. S. U. may not always be present at Commencement Season or at the September reunion after the long vacation, I think that most of them have a very pleasant recollection of those seasons and not a few would like to be there to greet the students on their return. As we can't stay there forever we are obliged to make the best of it where we are. The alumni of K. S. U. are scattering far and wide and many of them are making themselves known. One graduate of '80 has just made a change for the better and I feel inclined to speak of his record in Nebraska.—Since I have been here I have met over fifty men, engineers, contractors, foremen, who have kown him, and there is not one who does not say that Frank Rifle is one of the best fellows who ever lived. Mr. Riflle has made hosts of friends everywhere and is known as one of the most perfect gentleman as well as one of the most practical and thorough engineers on the road—All regret to see him leave here, but rejoice at his success. K. S. U. may well be proud of him.
The rest of the K. S. U. boys who are in the sand hills seem to be prospering on poor diet. I had a trip last week into the real sand hills. we left this village at seven a.m. and in half an hour we struck "the hills." For mile after mile the road stretched away over burning white sand, not a tree nor shrub nor flower, no water, no signs of civilization; we rode till past two o'clock before we saw a living thing of any sort. These hills seem indescribable so bleak, lonely and barren—so rugged and broken. The clay hills are bad enough but there are shrubs and trees while the sand hills really do deserve the name, "Great American Desert." Here and there is to be found an oasis on the banks of some stream, and a colony will always be found there—Norwegians, Hungarians, Bohemians, Poles, Swedes, all these nationalities are to be found in goodly numbers in Nebraska. I do not mention the Irish, they are in a majroity around here and can hardly be called "foreign." I see very few Germans, in fact almost none, tho' beer and pretzels are not prohibited in Nebraska. Prohibition would find small favor in Greeley Center. I can safely say that the most prosperous man in town (financially) is the saloon keeper who "got the start." The Irish around here get their whiskey straight, while the American or Bohemian is not particular what he takes, so the Irishman's drunk is by far the most civilized drunk of the lot.
I have twice had the pleasure of attending large picnic gatherings, and I must say the experience was a new one to me. From early morning till noon the clans assembled, each wagon emptied from four to a dozen tow-headed or red-headed

I much think that had our Hibernian friends known it, they would have quoted it at the writer and his friends instead of applying it to themslves, and perhaps they would have been right—for should we not "In Rome do as Rome does." Dancing was of course the main attraction and some of those devotees of Terpsichore art "hoed it down" from morn till midnight. As it was a terribly hot day you can imagine the enjoyment and also the condition of the dancers. The plain quadrille and the galop are the dances. Dinner and Supper!—yes indeed we had, and, asking the pardon of our landlord, it was the best meal I have had in Nebraska. I enjoyed the day hugely, watching the wild natives and several "spooney" couples and conversing with friends—and I must say that I have met some of the most pleasant people I have ever known here in "the wildernes)" at last the wee sma' hours approaching, I left my last Irish picnic and let the natives have the dance to themselves while your humble servant and the young lady he was with, on the way home, in the dark—found a barbed wire fence and went over it in most ungraceful style—head first—however no one was hurt for we found a resting place for our noses and elbows in Nebraska sand.
R. E. HENRY.
Orophilian.
A committee was appointed by the Orophilian Literary Society, at its last meeting, to again appeal to the Faculty in behalf of that Society, for the privilege of holding night sessions.
Surely this privilege or right should be granted. If it is not, K. S. U. will be known as the only University or College in the West without a literary society; if it is granted, we will soon have literary societies which will be an honor and benefit to the University of our choice.
The condition now is indeed deplorable. The afternoon classes have made it an impossibility for any literary society to even exist, unless they are permitted to hold night sessions. No reasonable reason is now left why they should not. Our sister institution, the University of Missouri, maintains two extraordinary literary societies. They are proud to boast of them as a feature of the school. Their sessions are held at night, in elegantly-furnished halls provided by the State, and the work done by them is upon a high grade. An office in these societies is an honor which is always sought. There are fraternities there, yet they assist in this work, the same as they would here if opportunity was offered.
Let us have literary societies; good ones. Let us learn something from "Poor Old Missouri."
Science Club.
The first meeting of the Science Club for this year was held last Friday in the club room in Snow Hall. The meeting was especially interesting on account of the reports made by several of our Professors who attended the meeting, during vacation, of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
First came Prof. Bailey, with a report of the work of the chemical section. He mentioned particularly the paper of Prof. Leeds on "Water Analysis."
Prof. Blake mentioned some papers read at the association which had a bearing upon every-day life. One of these was Edison's paper on the conversion of fuel directly into electricity. Another was a device for increasing the traction of locomotive wheels by electricity.
Prof. Marvin mentioned the work in the engineering section, and explained the proposed Nicaraguan route across the Isthmus.
Mr. Dyche gave a graphic account of his recent visit to the Lamay caverns in Virginia. This was illustrated by stereoscopic views.
Prof. Sayre described the new electric railway at Atlantic City, N. J., and also spoke in regard to the recent cases of lead poisoning in Philadelphia.
It was voted to remove the case of Science Club periodicals into the University reading room.
After some other miscellaneous business the club adjourned for two weeks.
The people of Lawrence will have a chance, next Thursday evening, Sept. 29, of seeing one of the most amusing comedies on the stage, Hoyt's "Rag Baby," with the favorite and popular comedian, Charlie Reed, who has made a tremendous hit as "Old Sport," in Chicago, where the Company have been turning people away at every performance. The Company is entirely new since seen here last, and several new and funny situations have been introduced. The music and songs are all new, with clever specialties by Reed.

The ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma entertained their gentlemen and lady friends last Tuesday evening at the elegant residence of Miss Howe. A large number were present, and the evening passed in a manner most enjoyable to all. The Kappas entertain their friends so pleasantly, and we only regret that their enterments do not happen oftener.
One of the pleasant social affairs last Saturday was the I. C. "CookeyShine," which took place at the elegant new residence of T. D. Griffith, on Ohio street. The Sorosis assembled early in the evening, and initiated and pledged a number of young ladies. They were: Misses Manley, Tisdale, King, Brown and Crotty; and Misses Cora Parker our efficient art instructor was pledged. Dancing was engaged in and the evening will always be a most pleasant memory to the I. C.'s and their friends, who rejoice at their success.
Gilbert & Sullivan's latest opera, "Ruddygore," is to be produced in the opera house next Monday evening, September 26, by the New York Ideal Opera Company.

It would be better to read the story before going to the opera, as one can appreciate it better by so doing.

The Standard has done good business with Mr. Chas. Verner, a candidate for honors as an Irish comedian, new to this country, but none the less clever. It may not be considered a very high walk in art, but it is a popular one, and Mr. Verner has a fine manly presence, a sweet, clear tenor voice, and the off-hand freedom of manner which are likely to make him popular in his line.—Chicago Times.
Mr. Verner will appear in the opera house in "Shamus O'Brien," Wednesday evening, Sept. 28.
The following editorial staff and managers for the Courier were elected at the last annual meeting: President, Chas. Lyons, a Junior Law; Secretary, O. B.

N. H. GOSLINE,
A meeting was held Monday to organize a University Tennis Club. After some discussion an association was formed with Prof. A. J. Canfield as president, V. L. Kellogg, secretary, and Russ Whitman, treasurer. Arrangements are being made to secure suitable grounds for courts, and playing will be commenced at once. The membership of the club is limited to twenty, and students desiring to join should hand in their names to the secretary. An admittance fee of fifty cents is required. Arrangements are being perfected for a tournament to be held in Bismarck Grove this Fall, in which teams from Kansas City, St. Joe, Topeka and the University will participate.
This is intended as a "boom" edition of the Courier Buy one and send it home to your friends.

The work on the foundation is progressing very slowly, it will take about six weeks to complete the work.
A great many students are talking of leaving for their home if this kind of weather seems inclined to hang on.
All students wishing to subscribe for the new art journal known as The Kritick, should give their names to Eugene W. Caldwell as soon as possible.
The excursion of the G. A. R. to St. Louis was attended by a number of University students. The badges of the excursionists were a sunflower and grasshopper.
There has been a great deal of misunderstanding as to what the University library hours are. The library is open from 8 o'clock in the morning to 7 o'clock at night except on Saturdays, when it is opened from 10 to 12 a.m. All students are welcome in using all magazines, books, etc.
What will the people of the East think when they have heard that sunny Kansas was obliged to close her University on account of the cold weather?
The past month has been a season of great rainfall. At the University on Sunday at 9 o'clock the instrument showed that 2.33 inches of rain had fallen.
Even now some of the rooms are so damp that a great number of students have taken severe colds from having to sit in them during recitation hours.
In case the weather remains in such condition that work in the University cannot be carried on, next Monday, Prof. Canfield will meet his classes at his residence at regular hours.
The Kent Club meetings are held at the court house on Thursday evening. S.P.King is president and the club is one of the best conducted and most efficient literary societies in the University.
The rain has completely stopped work on the foundations of the south wing. Owing to the water that has settled in the excavation it will be over a week before the work can be commenced again.
K. S. U.'s "preparatory medical course" is such that any student desiring to study medicine may take his first year here and be admitted into the second year of any medical school in the U. S.
The Seniors have received their arrearage cards and are experiencing considerable trouble in clearing them on account of the frequent changes in the curriculum during the last three years.
The most serious damage the rain has done for the University was to stop work on the boiler house. It is of the utmost importance that the building should be in a condition to be heated in at least thirty days.
The Senior class will appear inside of a month with the regulation plug hat adapted as a representation of 88. It is necessary for the Seniors to have a hat very high in the crown in order to incase their noble brows. It would be well for all the classes to adopt some style suitable to their standing in the college world.
The engineering students seem to be more hardy than the rest of the students, as they were allowed to work in their department while the literary students were not permitted the use of the library during the cold snap.
One of the best, most logical and finely written articles which has appeared in our daily papers, was published in the Journal of last Sunday morning. It relates to the Baconian ane Shakesperean controversy recently renewed by publications of Ignatius Donnelly. Mr. Donnelly's apparently undeniable and unapproachable articles are completely upset.
At last the boilers have been placed in position in the new boiler house and we may expect some time next month to be enabled to keep from freezing when entering the University from a drizzling rain. With the superabundance of gas floating through our halls and with dampness almost unbearable it will be a great wonder if some of our students are not nursing themselves in their rooms in a short time.

The regular meeting of the Anthaneum literary society will be held in its hall at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The members of this society are all active workers and good programs have been presented heretofore. All students desiring literary training or interested in literary work are earnestly and cordially invited to attend.
The cold weather of the last week is a proof that the University authorities cannot be in too great haste in completing the engine house. The summer is undoubtedly past and we may look for a real cold wave at any time. If not completed soon and a cold wave should pass through this section it would cause a great deal of inconvenience and loss of time and study.
A sample of salt from Elsworth has been sent to the University for examination and inspection. The salt is clear and of a good quality and there is said to be vast beds in that portion of the State. With our inexhaustable supply of coal and with the silk and sugar industries growing every year Kansas is destined to be the best self-supporting State in the Union.

Moot courts have not yet opened and some of the restless Juniors are getting anxious to make their "maiden effort."
Sterling Price King is the first man to "bear the blushing honors" of president of the Kent Club.
W. H. Sears is the "newest" Senior Mr. Sears has been a student of law for two years and will undoubtedly make a strong member.
The catalogue of 1887 gives among the members of the law faculty Prof. J. H. Canfield as instructor in International Law, and yet the Laws are asked to pay $10 extra for pursuing that study.
Mr. Harbaugh, of the Senior class has already been admitted to the bar but on account of the fame of our law school, he comes here for a full year's work in order to better fit himself for his profession.
Mr. Pence, of the Junior class, comes from Los Angelos, California, Mr. Hall from eastern Indiana and Mr. Mitchell from Cincinnati, Ohio, who says that we are getting a reputation abroad for turning out successful L. L. B's.
Monday as one of the festive Seniors descended the hill he met three young ladies going up through the rain and accosting them said: "Good day for ducks." "Yes for green heads" was the ready response from one of the number.

OURLITERARYSOCIETIES
OUR LITERARY SOCIETIES.
Scarcely a student ever enters the University without having heard something of college literary societies. He has heard of the work that they do, of the opportunities which they offer for practice in debate and public speaking, and of the benefits which may be derived from them, by those who take part in their proceedings. He comes here with a high ideal of a literary society, and if he is at all anxious to become skillful and polished in forensic speaking, he looks forward with joyful anticipation to the advantages which these societies will give him.
But he has formed his ideal after hearing the stories of men, who either attended colleges where the literary societies were promenent factors in college life, or attended K. S. U. when Oread and Orphillian were at the height of their glory. His ideal is made up entirely of the best and most attractive features and has no knowledge of the defects and faults which are often so prominent.
What must be his disappointment, then, when he becomes fully aware of the present deplorable state of things.
For the last three years the literary societies have fallen far short of the ends for which they were instituted. Most of their time has been spent in wrangling over elections, or in contending for positions on the December or June contests. These contentions have been carried so far that it has seemed as if the whole object and purpose of each society has been to carry off the laurels in June and December. These semi-annual contests are good things in the proper place; but they should not be permitted to rise in importance to such a degree as to entirely obscure the higher and nobler aims of the societies.
These mistakes of the past have brought about their only legitimate result. All interest in literary societies has been lost. They have become burdened with debts which they have been unable to dissolve. And finally one has discontinued its meetings altogether, and the other has ceased to hold them with regularity.
We believe that no college should be without good literary societies, properly organized and properly controlled. They can satisfy wants which no other college institution can; wants which, if left unsatisfied, leave the student's mind but comparatively developed.
The Science Club, the Philological, the Pharmaceutical, and the German societies each have their separate fields of work and are excellent in their special lines of research and discussion. But the scope of any one or all of these societies is limited to meet the needs of, or to even be of interest to, all the students. If one is pursuing a course of study in Physics or Pharmacy or Chemistry, he will probably be greatly interested in the proceedings and discussions of the Science Club, and will derive great benefit from them. But another who is studying Political Science or Psychology or English Literature will hardly be as much interested in, or benefitted by, the discussions of the Science Club as if it were a society where political philosophical, or literary subjects were debated.
The students need two good literary societies whose meetings shall be open for the discussion and investigation of all those broader and more general questions, both of the present and the past, which are of interest to and ought to be thoroughly understood by every liberally-educated man. They should be so organized as to offer their advantages to all students who wish to take an active part in them. Their purpose should be strictly literary, and they should in no case become the arenas of political conflicts, for these disturbances, as past experience has proven, tend to disorganize them, and to destroy much of the good which they might accomplish.
There should be two such societies because one cannot long maintain a high standing and produce the best results without a rival to cause it to put forth its best efforts, that it may excel.
If the effort which is now on foot to organize a society for the discussion of current events prove successful, and Orophilian, revivified, again takes up its work in earnest, a want, which is beginning to make itself severely felt, will be satisfied. The tendency has lately been to divide up into numerous small debating clubs. But these, while they may offer great opportunities for improvement to the few who belong to them, cannot reach and benefit the great body of the students. A great many can only be reached by large societies.
Let all the students encourage the two societies which at present seem to be the most promising, and help to organize them so that they shall be of the greatest good to the greatest possible number.
In one of our former issues of this year, an article appeared concerning the different appropriations of our various state institutions. We understand some erroneous statements were made. The Courier is willing at all times to correct any mistakes, and as soon as we can learn the facts in the case, we will willingly publish them to the public. Until then ye honored regents and professors hold thy peace.
They will repay all effort and time spent upon them, and will bring out and develop faculties of the mind which can be properly educated in no other way.
Our Heating System.
Our Heating System. Misfortunes will occur in the best regulated business enterprises and unlooked for and unforeseen events are constantly trying the patience of society.
A great deal of comment is being indulged in by the students concerning the incompletion of our boiler house. Comments unwarranted in any particular by the facts. It is unfortunate that during the inclement weather of the past week that the University has been cold and damp. But to lay the blame on the management of the University, is a gross injustice. On receiving the appropriation to move the boiler house and erection of a more commodious structure, the committee on building and grounds immediately asked for specifications from the proper officer, our State architect. Some delay was experienced in receiving the above specifications. Immediately on receiving, advertisements were made for bids. By the stringent law recently enacted by our State legislature in relation to expenditure of public money, a great deal of care and caution had to be taken in letting the contract. After the specified time of twenty days the contracts were opened and it was found that the lowest bid far exceeded the appropriation allotted us.
New specifications had to be drawn up and new contracts received. This consumed at least thirty days. In the mean time our able superintendent had been sent to inspect the various systems of heating etc., adopted by various public institutions. As soon as the last contract was received work was immediately commenced. Judge Olis, Chas. Gleed and Chancellor Lippincott, members of the committee above referred to have pushed the contractor as much as possible in his work. A great deal of difficulty was experienced in securing workmen; a great drain having been made on the city of Lawrence and vicinity by the large number of buildings under construction in the larger and more progressive cities throughout the State. The contract called for the completion of the work by the middle of October and under the ordinary condition of weather no fire would have been needed before the latter part of October as has been the case on previous years.
One thing however is absolutely necessary, that is that the library should be opened to the students during the present circumstances. This would enable them to procure reference books for special subjects and would be of great advantage to them.
It will be seen by the above that circumstances, not mismanagement has been the cause of the delay. Mr. Crocker, the superintendent, informs us that fires for heating purposes can be built by a week from next Monday, under the present conditions. We therefore hope that our students will bear with the present condition of affairs. Of course it is aggravating to be deprived of recitations and the comforts of usually attending our University, but what can't be helped must be borne, so take your medicine and keep thy peace.
Colleges in Kansas.
With the over production of any commodity or product, a decrease in price and value inevitably follows unless restrained by some foreign factor. This, if we mistake not, is an economic fact and principle and this fact holds true also in regard to the over production, the reckless, unheeding, improvident and imprudent building and establishing of inferior colleges throughout our State. Kansas, ever progressive in all things tending toward the good of humanity, has permitted its ambition to overcome its good judgment until to-day we have within our border sixty-two institutions claiming to be a college or University. The supply already far exceeds the demand and yet there seems to be no decrease in this unwarranted and unnatural growth. Every denomination must establish a school. Every city must "boom" its town by the endowing of a so-called college. This is a detriment to the attainment of a higher education, it is a deterioration to all schools and colleges of standing in the community.
The idea of the establishment of seven colleges in one town, all claiming equal advantages and lauding the standard of their curriculum, is absurd. And yet this is the number claimed by one of our western cities.
Even if that city or denomination desiring to establish a college, can endow that institution sufficiently to bring it up to the standard of a University, which very few are able to do, it must first find a location or community able to support such an institution. There are three requisites for the establishing of a first class college or University; a large endowment, good professors and a large number of students sufficiently advanced to pursue a course in higher education.
If colleges of the same denomination are sufficiently separated from one another and have a large endowment they will in all probability succeed. In the State of Kansas there are not 100 students belonging to the two higher collegiate classes and yet we have our sixty-two colleges. Prof. Chas. F. Smith in the Atlantic Monthly says, "The greatest evil in education just now is the fact that we have so many colleges and Universities. Any one who will study the question carefully will come to the conclusion that in the United States culture is in the inverse ratio to the number of colleges. Where you find the largest number of "colleges" you will find the fewest fitting schools and the lowest state of what we call higher education."
The following is a statement of the condition of affairs at the University which Chancellor Lippuncott so kindly offers to the public:
EDITOR COURIER:—DEAR SIR:— Many inquiries are made very naturally by students and friends of the University as to the progress of the work upon our new boiler house and the cause of the delay. Your own personal inquiry as to the facts in the case leads me, with your permission, to make a statement in the COURIER that shall give, first, the reasons for the delayed work and secondly, the
probable time when the new steam apparatus will be ready to be put in operation.
The bill making appropriation of $16,000 for "removal and enlargement of boiler house and for boilers and steam heating apparatus" was passed in March. These funds were not available until the first of July. The new regents came into office according to law the first day of April. The regular annual meeting of the board for organization, etc., is "the second Tuesday in April,"—this year the 12th. In order that there might be no needless delay in this work a special meeting of the board was called about the first of April. The first business that received attention after organization was the erection of a boiler house. An architect was at once employed and required to prepare plans and specifications upon which to call for bids upon the work. The whole matter was then placed, with proper limitations, in the hands of a building committee consisting of A. G. Otis, J. A. Lippincott and C. S. Gleed. When the plans and specifications were ready the committee advertised for bids as required by law. Meanwhile the most careful inquiry had determined with a very near approximation the cost of boilers, fronts, grates, steam pipe, etc. The committee met at the earliest possible day and opened the bids for boiler house and stack. It was then found that the money appropriated, $16,000, which must be made to cover the entire expense, would not allow the acceptance of the bids as offered. There was nothing to do under the law but to reject these bids, modify the plans for the boiler house and advertise again. But for this delay, plainly unavoidable, the steam apparatus would have been ready for the fires in ample time for the cold storm which is now
Mr. Schneider, who contracted to build the boiler house and smoke stack, claims and with evident justice, that the work has gone slowly on account of the difficulty in Lawrence of securing the services of good mechanics. Still, he is under bonds to finish his work within a certain stipulated time. It may be well, however, to remember that it is not necessary to wait for the completion of the boiler house or even the smoke stack in order to build a fire. The smoke stack at its present height will carry enough fire to warm the buildings sufficiently for any weather we are likely to have in October. The builders and fronts are now in place and a part of the steam and return pipe. But little more work, comparatively is required to connect with the steam pipe and radiators in the buildings.
It is, of course, a matter of great regret that there should be any interruption of University work; yet it may be well to remember that the cold storm is very unusual. Last year we made no fire until October 5. There is generally little need of steam in October. It will undoubtedly be warm enough to resume all our class work within a few days at most. Mr. Crocker, who has charge of the steam fitting and the setting of the boilers assures us that he will be able to build the fires, if necessary one week from next Monday, October 10. I am sincerely yours,
J. A. LIPPINCOTT.

Although this is our third issue, the exchange editor appears before you for the first time. This column, for this is all our dictatorial editor-in-chief sees fit to place in our charge, will be devoted to the review and criticism of our contemporaries in the amateur college journalistic field.
PINCOTT.
This column should be an important factor in all college journals. And yet it is too often slighted. Abuse, not criticism, is too often the prominent feature. Harshness, vulgarity, slang and sarcastic remarks frequently take the place of just and friendly criticism. We will endeavor as far as possible, to be free, just and honorable in all our criticism which should tend toward mutual improvement. With this brief salutatory we bid you welcome to our exchange table.
Among the most welcome visitors and most readable exchanges which comes to our table is the University Voice. With strong editorials, productions of literary merit and a good local and personal column it comes as near to an ideal college journal as any of our exchanges.
The College Message was also one of the first to reach our table. Published in a neighboring State we cannot help having a feeling of distant relationship. A short article on "Popular Opinion" is of considerable merit. Don't be to prejudiced in your religious convictions as your attack on one of your exchanges plainly shows. All men have a right to their convictions, therefore be lenient.
The Niagara Index is always a, come early and go late exchange, such is its value. The exchange editor seems to be having a controversy already with some of its exchanges. We don't want to stick a finger in the pie, but do not try to be sarcastic. Be critical, but be an ideal critic. This antagonistic spirit of yours will keep your hands full. Excuse us for our interference and advice.
The late number of the Illini was unusually interesting in point of contents. An article on engineering is of great merit and shows a large acquaintance with the system of drainage and sewerage.
The little Hillsdale Herald bobs up serenely well filled with advertisements. Good reading matter nevertheless and very acceptable.
One of our exchanges sums up the opening of the college year in a very expressive little editorial. It runs in this oratorical strain: "Vale! Ye dreamy days of fair vacation, ye dulce memories of summer outing and all the idle joys that college youth is heir to. Once again are we slaves to a hord of petty text books and tyrannical profs.
J. P. Haynes, of Galveston, Texas, a colored student at Dartmouth Medical College has been appointed Demonstrator of anatomy at that institution. Thus the colored race progresses.
THE State of Michigan on the 9th of this month put into effect the recently amended scientific temperance instruction law.
The College Y. M. C. A. meets on every Friday evening.
It provides that lessons must be given concerning the injurious effects of narcotics and alcoholic liquors on the human system. The instruction will be given by text book and the amount of space and time which must be given the subject is established by law. All Boards of Education are subject to fines for the non-compliance to the provisions in this law. This is a very wise move on the part of Michigan.
By teaching and training the youths concerning the injurious effect which narcotics will have on the man, both physically and mentally, is the only way to keep the majority of boys from indulging in these destructive agents. All States should pass and enforce some such provision.
Students' Views.
One thing this fall which has been sorrowfully noticed by all old students and must have been a source of great surprise to favored (?) new students, is the extreme rushing carried on by our fraternities. When I say fraternities, I include the lady organizations which are, perhaps even more noticeable for their rushing and spiking than the gentlemen fraternities. A prepossessing new lady student is at once seized on, introduced to the ladies and to the good gentlemen friends of the fraternity. She is walked with and talked with, feted and feasted by each fraternity in turn; flattered and carassed but "just please put on the colors."
This matter of rushing is being carried on to a remarkable and alarming degree. It is ruinous alike to the rushed and the rusher. Time, money and sometimes honor is spent in frantic attempts to win the desired member.
Fraternity men and ladies will all admit the serious harm, but "we have to do it; all the other frats. do and we have to rush hard or get left."
A defect of this kind can not continue to exist. If not checked, more, if not crushed entirely, it will destroy our fraternities here.
The frats. must learn that conservatism is essential to high standing and superiority, that quality not quantity will win.

At 9 o'clock the invited guests began to assemble. Bnch's orchestra furnished the music for the merry dancers and filled the large parlors with sweet strains for those engaged in card playing and
other enjoyable pursuits. During the evening an elegant repast was indulged in and not until a late hour did the happy throng reluctantly depart.
