The Kansas Accademy of Science meets in Topeka in its twentieth annual session from Oct. 26 to 28th. During this meeting a great many questions of importance will be discussed. Questions which are and have been puzzling the'minds of Scientific men for the past years. New inventions will be brought before the assembly and new thoughts will be open for debate. Leading scientifics of the State and men of National reputation will also address the meeting. The State University should be well represented not only by her professors but by her scientific students. A cordial invitation has been extended to all interested in the advancement of science.
KANSAS is proud of her crops; she glories in her educational facilities and is elated on looking at her growing manufacturing enterprises. But when she turns her attention toward her great and popular statesman and prominent men all others sink for the time being into oblivion. Senator Ingalls in his speech at the celebration of the constitution closes with the following sentiment on the future progress of the United States. "The next century will witness a growth in glory, wealth and prosperity in this republic which the imagination cannot conceive, and to which the annals of nations afford no precedent or parallel. Perils there may be without, and dangers within, but the rolling drums and the martial tread of the armed hosts that yesterday saluted the flag are an assurance of the determination of the people to make this a government of laws and not of men, and against anarchist, or nihilist or foreign foe, to preserve unimpaired those sacred objects for which the constitution was ordained—union, justice, tranquillity, liberty for ourselves and for our prosperity.
About the first question asked a student by his friends, when they learn of his intention to take a college course is, "what profession do you expect to study for?" Now fully nine-tenths of the students when they enter college have no well defined deas concerning their abilities or
astes in any given direction. Several years of thorough collegiate training are necessary to give the student a broad basis on which to work. He is now enabled to look at the many different phases of life with much more intelligence than before and to tell better in what line his natural abilities can be developed to the best advantage. Although as I have stated, but few have any intelligent or well-defined idea of what they wish to do. Yet very many have pumped at the suggestion of some parent or friend regarding some calling of which they know practically nothing, and after a year or two of college work in which the foundation of a broad and liberal education is neglected for branches pertaining to his supposed profession, when he at last awakens to the fact that he is utterly unsuited to the work in hand that he is so disgusted with himself and his college that he gives up and goes home never to return.
A Plea for the Literary Society by an Outsider.
According to a late decision of the University authorities no literary society can meet save in the day time, and as recitations are conducted at all convenient hours in the day, the rule is in effect a prohibition to literary work.
With due respect to the above authorities, as an outsider, I deem their action arbitrary, unjudicious, and unwise.
It is a course adopted contrary to the custom of like institutions all over our land; and though it may have precedent, such precedent is not founded on the best usage of standard schools. The majority of schools have encouraged such societies, and respected them as valuable adjuncts to regular work. In fact schools generally take pride in having a well constituted literary, and advertise it as one of the inducements for students to enter them. Nor have they in general set arbitrary rules for their conduct or time of meeting, but have left it for the respective members to decide.
And why not meet at night? Other schools have not been known to have suffered much thereby, at least we have heard of no unusual disadvantage arising from such a course.
Trae there may be some drawbacks,but can a good rule be laid aside to accept a worse? No one can doubt the advantage of a good drill in literary work, nor can a school which is alive to its interests afford to cripple one of its valuable organizations in such a maner. In fact no school can complete an education to meet the matter of fact issues of the world without giving the student the advantages of literary work.
Few will deny that evening is a more suitable and convenient time than any other. It is the only time that outsiders can be expected to attend, and that students in general can participate. It affords more ample means for social benefit. It secures more time for extended exercises and it commands an audience without which there is little incentive to lofty debate. ALPHA.

EDITOR COURIER:—I don't suppose you want any advice. Your taste basket is already running over with it and your ears are aching with its sound. However, I don't know anything about running a paper; and on regular principles that act entitles me to give advice on the subject. I've just seen enough of the business to be ignorant of my ignorance. I floundered around in college journalism a little, got tossed onto the board of editors as "local" and when I became too offensive a partisan, was rendered harmless by being made editor-in-chief. The lusty of editor-in-chief on the Courier in those days was to write articles that would mean nothing. My ability in this direction was recognized and I was unanimously elected. If the editor-in-chief wrote of the University or any of its affairs he was trespassing on the local editor's territory. If he mentioned another college paper he got a black eye from the exchange editor. If he referred to some new invention the scientific editor was insulted. If he spoke of the drama, woe unto him! The business manager had the sole prerogative to touch up the plays; his critiques being tempered by the number of dead-head tickets he received. That the editor-in-chief might have no loop-hole through which now and then he might drop a word of sense, a department called "Topics" was to treat on everything the other editors didn't claim. The editor-in-chief had the rest! But this is not what I started to tell you. I see you've started out your reign with the regular announcement that the Courier is run by the students and not by the faculty. That's good. Sometimes its buncombe and sometimes truth. I suppose you mean it for truth. Yet buncombe is valuable capital in a college paper. We started the Courier on it. We announced with a flourish of trumpets and a pot of paint that the Courier had $800 to run a year's campaign and would go it that long though the heavens fell and not a cent of advertising came to our pockets. That was buncombe. As a matter of fact we didn't care a copper about the heavens but we did have a wonderful concern about the advertising. Had not Crew and Abe Levy, and other advertising friends who have proved "standbye," come to the front, the Courier would have sunk out of sight. The whole crowd of Courier stock-holders couldn't have paid for the first issue. But to return. You're going to run the Courier independent of the faculty. Now, be a "leetle keerful." The faculty is a dignified body and dignity always has corns, so tread easy. Why a professor should be dignified or a preacher solemn and gloomy, nobody ever yet found out, for a jolly professor and a sprightly preacher are always popular—possibly because so rare. I have come to the conclusion, however, that professional dignity is an assumed article. My opinion was greatly confirmed the other day by hearing one of my revered professors, who has left the craft, say he was "mighty glad to get out of the ___ business." I leave blank the portion of the quotation that wasn't dignified. Yet as a paper "by the students, of the students, for the students" have a care not to offend professorial dignity, else you will not be a student. Now you want to make this volume of the paper one that will be known to successive generations of students. You can easily do it. There are themes, that, sprung unheralded on the University, would cause astounding sensations; themes which, like diamonds have lain uncovered these many ages. That you may have the full fruition of my thoughts, I divide these subjects into sub-heads as directed to do by Prof. Canfield in preparing orations.

To these subjects add "College Fraternities" and "The Advantage of Co-Education." Such topics, if but slightly touched, would rock the University to its foundations. While the foundations are undergoing repairs, however, it would be well to touch upon only one of these topics at a time. I commend me to these
East vs. West.
SMITH.
There is a question which has been long discussed in regard to the superiority of eastern colleges over the western institutions. As a matter of course eastern men settle the question in favor of the older schools and a large enough number of wealthy men are to be found in the west who are willing and anxious to send their sons east to attain superior culture, to give much color to the eastern claim.
My experience has been, however, that the western boys are not one whit behind their brothers from New England in education or polish, and if anything, are endowed with more energy, vim and capacity to take hold of work. In the last year I have met a number of eastern graduates and have noticed a feeling among them that a diploma from Yale or Harvard goes a long way towards making a man successful. This opinion is often changed after a few months hard knocking around. I think I may safely say this, no man can depend upon his college education to earn his bread and butter. It won't do it. It will help and that greatly if a young fellow will put his theory into practice, where it can be practically applied and changing it where it cannot be. If a college course has been of benefit at all, it has taught the graduate to think and to work in a quicker, better manner; it has given him his tools for his life work, but those tools need to be sharpened by practical experience.
The question is often asked by students, which is the best practical
course? My answer would now be, any course which gives you culture, refinement, knowledge—any course which teaches you to think.
"Languages are of no practical value." So? Don't let any such sophistry mislead you. Latin, Greek, German, French, all, are of great value in teaching you the structure and derivation of your own language and you are a queer specimen if you can find no pleasure or see no benefit in understanding your own language and literature.
Literature is only good in college as it creates a taste for the pure and admirable types of literary works. If a study of English literature does not do that I think its most ardent admirers must concede that time spent in its study is time lost. If a young man is so absorbed in his chase after wealth that he can find no time for reading or improving himself, he had better turn to a business college.
The same is true of sciences to a large extent. If you want money and care not for refinement let them off with an easy trial.
I think that the lot of the man who can see beauty in every rock or bush or flower is a happy one. He who has the real true learning does not confine his thoughts to the number of dollars in his bank account, he can find delight in art and nature, he can apply enough of his college sciences to his everyday life to make it pleasant and profitable in the pleasure it affords.
There is one branch of study which most students are prone to slip over as "hard." I see now, that it is the most valuable of any. Mathematics, the best and greatest of the exact sciences, should be required of all to a greater degree than now. There is no study which tends to develop the intellectual powers, to clear the mind and make it of value in its operations. Mathematics is the true logic, the best form. He who is a real mathematician must be a logician. Mathematics teaches habits of industry, of exactness, of perseverance, for no one can master the subject without these, and these are of practical value in themselves. Mathematics is as good a discipline for the mind as learning Greek congregations or zoological classifications. I believe and hold that a full course of mathematics, including higher branches, is the most practical course offered in our colleges and that it is indispensible to a man who wishes to be well educated.
In any course I can see no superiority of eastern over western schools except the mere name and reputation of being a graduate of some great University. I could name a number of our graduates who work side by side with eastern men and who do their alma mater no discredit. The education can be obtained in the west just as well as in the east, if the education is wanted at all. Western professors are bright, ambitious and as a rule young. Such men will win. Western students are, as a rule, poorer and more from the farms, not a bad class of students as they usually mean business. So on the whole I think I see why our State Universities are bound soon to equal and excel even, the boasted great Universities of the east. R.E. HENRY.

The Dartmouth comes to us with such clean, clear type, we enjoy it, and also its literary matter is above the average.
The Student Life comes a little late but is up to the standard with its literary department, but it has the same old dingy cover it has had for several years.
The College Rambler as a local paper does very creditably, but the editorial and literary departments are not worth the printers ink that is used in printing them.
The faculty of Williams have announced that unless the students abolish rushing, the trustees will not allow them to be represented in the Base Ball League.—Ex.
The Colby Echo comes to our table brim full of bright college news and good literary matter, it also expresses its sympathy for the Pacific Pharos for having fallen under the censorship of the faculty.
The Coup d'Etat comes with a brilliant cover and neatly printed pages, its local and alumni departments are first class but the editorials are very poor and the literary still worse.
The Penntylvanian is welcomed to our table as one of the brighest and most enterprising of our exchanges and reflects much credit on its management and on the institution from which it comes.
Nearly all of the students at the University of Pennsylvania now wear caps and gowns. Many of them may be seen in the stores, at the concerts and promenading on the fashionable streets. -Exc.
The North Western comes in on us from the northeast, but is, nevertheless a neatly arranged and newsy little magazine. The editors are rather light and the paper is somewhat cramped by sectarian bias.
We gladly welcome the Pacific Pharos again to our table. Our sympathies have been with our E.C. in "the late unpleasantness" for our feeling is that faculty interference with the college press is at least-unwise.
Of all the journals that we have yet received the Muhlenberg Monthly is the poorest, its editorials are about what could be expected from a German school and the literary department does not deserve the name of such.
It costs $553,511 yearly to run the University of Berlin, of which the government pays $459,887. The number of those who matriculated for the winter term was 5,357. Accordingly, the state pays about $85.00 per student yearly. — *Ex.*
Faculty interference is one of the factors which the college press has seriously to consider. The press of Russia is under no stricter surveillance. Several journals were made to suspend or retract last year. In all cases a conservative policy is certainly the wisest to pursue.—Ex.
It is declared that Cornell will soon be one of the wealthiest colleges in the country though it has lost a big pile by the outcome of the Fiske-McGraw will case. The Utica Herald sets its capital at $6,000,000 and says that sanguine men expect to see this swollen by profits to $10,- 000,000.—Ex.
It is a significant fact that fifty percent. of the past editors of the Harvard Crimson are now engaged in journalism. This might be said, in fact, of other college journals, for they have turned out nearly an equal proportion, proving beyond a doubt the usefulness of college journals in schooling men for practical service in the editorial field. The purposes which the college journals in America should accomplish are numerous and important.—Ex.
By our college exchange we are made acquainted with the workings of other institutions. The great question which is being discussed openly in some of the colleges in our middle States both by the regents, professors and the press is the use of intoxicating liquors by the students. This is not only a great detriment to the students attending the institutions but also a disgrace to the college itself. Any impression spread through the land that the students are addicted to that unmanly habit, will place an unsurmountable obstacle in the way of prosperity and growth of any institution. The general impression prevail that a college journal is of minor importance and that its effect on any community is only local. This is a gross mistake and if our foreign contemporaries will use some discretion in the matter, they will save their institution from a great amount of odium which will inevitably be cast upon it by spreading this report abroad whether contradicting or pardoning the faults of their wayward students.

He also says that there is nothing to be feared from them, although they are very ravenous, they feed only on the very common wood purslane, from which they derive their name.

A Sad Accident
Monday evening about 7 o'clock, C. R. McCamish, a student of the University, met with an accident which resulted in his death about 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Several students had gathered in one of their rooms at the residence of Mrs. Henshaw, on Kentucky street, and were enjoying themselves in a friendly discussion, as the close of which Mr. McCamish undertook to punish the other boys for interrupting his speech. One of them jumped upon the bed, another ran out of the door, and a third McCamish seized about the waistie intending to throw him. As he raised him from the floor, his foot caught under the stove-leg, and they fell, McCamish on top, his chin striking his comrade's hip and his shoulder on the floor. The result was, according to the physician's diagnosis, a dislocation of the spinal column, producing paralysis of the entire body. His fellow students at once rendered every assistance in their power. They immediately sent for a doctor and would have notified his parents at once but the injured boy earnestly requested them not to do so. He afterward recovered the use of the upper part of the body and his doctor did not think his injury was necessarily fatal. At 1 o'clock Tuesday morning he became unconscious and remained so until his death. He was attended by Drs. Mottram, Horner, Morris and Hull.
The sad accident has cast a gloom over the entire school. The deceased was about 21 years of age. His parents reside at White Church, Wyandotte county, Kansas. He was a member of the Freshman class, this being his first year in the University. He was considered a very bright student, and held the highest esteem of his professors and schoolmates.
At the request of the parents the body was sent to Wyandotte Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by Chancellor Lippincott, Prof. Sayre and O. C. LeSeur.
The following is a full list of the Senior class according to the classification recently posted. If some unforseen event or some "bunk" in examination try their souls, on next June they will become a burden or an honor to society: W. S. Allen, F. H. Bowersock, W. Harvey Brown, May Churchill, W. R. Cone, Frank Crowell, A. C. Cunkle, T. F. Doran, E. C. Franklin, Paul Goddard, Josephine Gilmore, W. E. Higgins, Gertrude Hunnicutt, F. C. Keys, Mamie Manley, F. H. Olney, J. A. Prescott, Joseph Rolston, W. W. Russ, F. J. Savage, C. E. Springer and Clara Wilson. They number twenty-two from the Collegiate department. The Pharmacy department will probably graduate sixteen, the Law department twenty, and the Music and Art department one or two each make the total number of graduates sixty.

Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas,
as second-class matter.
Neglect of Public Speaking.
Only too many students who enter our colleges and Universities are prone to undervalue many of the advantages which are offered them.
It is only after several years or, perhaps, all of their course has been completed; when they begin to look back and sum up the results and benefits of all their long hours of toilsome study; when they compare what they have accomplished with what they might have accomplished, that they fully appreciate the value of the golden opportunities which they have left untouched.
In one direction especially do many of the students of K. S. U. neglect self development and culture, and this is in the art of public speaking and debate.
Public speaking, perhaps does not, as a means of reaching and influencing the people, now occupy the place it did fifty or one hundred years ago, when there were fewer newspapers and their circulation was not so broad as it is now. But, nevertheless, the ability to express one's thoughts in public in a clear and effective manner, is something greatly to be desired. The number of men who can do this is every day increasing. In fact it is expected of almost any man of culture, that, when an opportunity is offered or the occasion demands, he should be able to take his place upon the platform and acquit himself in a pleasing and creditable manner.
It is not to be supposed that very many young men, when they enter upon their college career, will show any especial taste or talent for oratory. But this should not discourage them. Even Demosthenes, one of the greatest orators that the world has ever known, at his first appearance utterly failed and left the bema in disgrace. It is only after long and patient training and close study that the brilliant qualities are brought out.
There may be but very few, perhaps, who possess sufficient talent to become prominent as speakers. But there is scarcely anyone whom nature has so poorly endowed in this direction, that he is incapable of improvement if he apply himself properly. Though he may at first be awkward in appearance and slow of speech and timid, all these obstacles may be overcome, and what he will gain will fully repay all the time and effort expended.
The opportunities offered to the students of K. S. U. are numerous. The literary societies, the prize contests and the oratorical association all encourage cultivation of the art of public speaking.
The new students are all inclined to neglect these chances, at first thinking, probably that they will take advantage of them later in their course, when they have become better accustomed to college ways and have acquired more information and more confidence in themselves. But this is a great mistake. The young man who neglects his first opportunities will be very apt to neglect those that follow until it is too late to reform.
The student should begin his training in his Freshman year by taking an active part in the literary societies. He should be present at every meeting and never fail to appear when his name is posted on the program. In his Sophomore year he can take part in the prize contests and when he reaches his Junior year, if he has done well the work of the two preceding years, he will be well prepared to enter the oratorical contest in the spring. To have won this series of contests is an achievement of which any young man might well be proud.
Many hesitate to enter into the debates of the literary societies and into the prize contests because they fear that they may be beaten. But he who cannot gracefully bear defeat in a college literary contest will but poorly stand the severer contests and disappointments of after life, for which he is supposed to be here preparing.
For the Freshman, the field of work lies all before him. All the golden opportunities are his if he will sieze them. Let him not pass them by and be compelled, when he becomes a Senior and is about to leave his alma mater forever, to regret, as many a Senior has regretted, the chances which she has offered him but which he has left unimproved
The growth of the University of Kansas in the past six years has been remarkable if not phenominal. Every department has been improved. To our thorough collegiate departments specialties of great importance have been added. Instruments and collections of great value have been procured. Our library has grown from about five thousand volumes to ten thousand. Our pharmacy, law, music and art department now equal any in the west. With all this progressiveness we have neglected one important factor, one chief necessity in elevating an institution to the standard of a first class University or college. This great delinquency is in our lecture course.
Lectures in the Universi. y.
For the past four years we have been favored with but few first class lectures and those at irregular intervals. No contract has ever been
made with any lecture bureau,the result, few men of national reputation as lecturers, have been brought here and we have been deprived of the privilege of listening to many first class addresses.
A most excellent lecture bureau has been established through the energy of a number of our faculty, consisting of leading men of the State. Some of these lecturers will undoubtedly be presented to the students of our University and will be instructive and much appreciated.
What we also desire are lectures from some of our leading scientists and popular lecturers. Men who make lecturing more or less a business and who are able to and do spend a great amount of time in their preparation. Such lecturers as Wendling, Wallace, Burdett, Ingersoll, Kate Field, etc., would be very acceptable.
Our University has no endowment to draw from in order to procure these lecturers. The State should make some provision for securing lecturers of this type. Should give us an appropriation or some financial aid in securing these persons for our lecture course just as they make an appropriation for our Natural History department.
The students of our University will also gladly bear their share of the expense and by so doing they will add greatly to the present high standing of our University.
The Topeka Commonwealth in a sluring article in a recent issue states that there are a dozen young men, former students of the University of Kansas, engaged as collectors on the A. T. & S. F. railroad, and desires to know whether a course of study at the University is conducive to that line of business. In the first place there are not twelve collectors on the Santa Fe from this institution and we doubt whether there are four. In the second place, it is no disgrace if there are, all of them are undergraduates; and it shows that great respect and confidence is placed in them by so great a corporation. The Commonwealth we had thought had become more lenient toward the University but it seems that the same bull-dog, ravenous and spiteful spirit which constitute the disposition of all individuals when their views are rejected by the people on account of their onesidedness, and biased prejudices still cling to the editor of the Commonwealth and he lets no occasion pass which will permit him to throw slurs at the University. This is to be regretted, for with the exception of this paper there is not another in the State which is hostile in any respect to our institution.
As he sat on the steps on Sunday night he claimed the right to a kiss for every shooting star. She at first demurred, as became a modest maiden; but finally yielded. She was even so accomodating as to call his attention to flying meteors that were about to escape his observation. Then she began "calling" him on lightning bugs and at last got down to solid work on the light of a lantern that a man was carrying at a depot in the distance, where the trains were switching.—Ex.
Cost of Higher Instruction.
Cost of Higher Instruction. New building, the latest improved apparatus for the study of the sciences, departments for comfort of the students, immense libraries and costly gymnasiums are being acquired and established by colleges of note and those with a progressive spirit throughout the United States.
For the past fifty years a great revolution has occurred in our college curriculum and a graduate of twenty years ago would find to-day an immense difference in college training, a broader field of study and greater requirements than when he left his alma mater.
The United States is proud of her educational system and facilities and yet in the amount of money placed in the various departments of our institution, in the endowment of special departments for special study we are inferior to the great German Universities which will be seen by the following article from the pen of Prof. Walters, of our State Agricultural College. In an article in the Industrialist we find the following:
"The Chemical News, in article on college buildings, compares the cost of some of the English and American college buildings and those of Central Europe, and refers to the new University of Strasburg, Alsace, as an illustration of the liberal spirit for higher education in Germany.
The charge is often made that American colleges are too much stone and brick and not enough faculty and students; but whatever the latter may be in trasburg, there are also stone and brick there. The capital of Alsace is quite a third rate city as regards wealth and size. It had no University until the Germans reoccupied it in 1871; yet there were expended up to 1885, in less than twenty-five years, over $3,200,000 at this institution alone.
Of this sum the German Empire has contributed $950,000; the remainder was raised by the city and by donations. The college building proper has cost $575,000; the chemical laboratory, $175,000; the physical laboratory, $145,750; the institute of botany, with its gardens, $130,000; the astronomical observatory, $125,-000; the institute of anatomy, $280,-000; the surgical clinical hospital, $130,000; the institute of physiological chemistry, $80,000, and the institute of physiology, $70,500.
The institutes of geology, zoology and meteorology have yet to be erected and fitted up. The cost of the library of 560,000 volumes is not included in the above estimate, and has reached $357,000.
Following these statements, the Chemical News, which is an English periodical, says: "May we be permitted to say that, if we wish to be on an equal footing with Germany in the cultivation of science, we ought to have Universities at least equally well equipped, in ten of our cities, besides an institution in London of far greater caliber, and a vast development of the ancient Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. It is to be deplored that wealthy men in this country are willing to give thousands for the purpose of faction, rather than for institutions to promote the general prosperity of the whole country."
Views.
Dissatisfaction arises with the management of various departments of an institution, sometimes justly and at other times unjustly.
Our faculty and librarian endeavor as much as possible to place at the disposal of our students the books on our library shelves. And for this they receive the hearty thanks of our students. They endeavor, so they say, to render the greatest good to the greatest number and in this they are upheld by all. But when a rule is enacted that books in certain departments cannot be taken from the library, a gross injustice is perpetrated on the students in that department.
Students pursuing a special course of study, writing some special theme, essay or forensic, must necessarily have a large number of reference books at his disposal.
A table has been placed in the library for the use of such students, but it is of little value to one who has to investigate certain works thoroughly and do an immense amount of writing.
One cannot concentrate his thoughts on any one subject with his attention continually called to something else, and with visitors, students and professors continually walking, talking, and unconsciously interrupting him in his work.
We ask, why cannot we take the book to our rooms and pursue our investigations in quiet and solitude? We are immediately handicapped with the answer that it will interfere with the work of other students.
Is this so? All students do not desire to use the same books at the same time. One student writing on a certain topic and desiring to take a book home for an evening, will not interfere with another student, if the book is returned on the following day.
In some departments, in some studies, text books are not used. All studying is by means of reference indicated to the student through lectures. And yet we cannot consult such books only amid the confusion of the library. The result is that the great amount of reading designated to us by the various professors is neglected. It is of such a character that it cannot be accomplished during library hours, for reasons cited. Saturdays we are also deprived both of the use of the books of the library and the library itself except for two hours. Is this just, is it right? Even under these conditions we are accountable to our professors for all citations, readable matter, etc., given to us.
Some of the students have been threatened with being deprived of our library facilities, for taking books home for the evening without permission, which if asked for would be refused. They cannot and should not be censured for this, for in my opinion any rule should be broken which is unjustly oppressive and which tends to deprive them of the duties to their studies, professors and themselves. This rule should be abolished and some other plan inaugurated in relation to the removal of of books. X.Y.Z.

The Amherst Catalogue gives the names of ten under-graduates, who with President Seelye, compose the "college searte," viz: Four Seniors, three Juniors, two Sophomores, one Freshman. The president says in his annual letter to the alumni, that the "system has been abundantly justified by its working. The increased good order among the students, the quiet, the decorum, and the better tone of college life are noted by all. Our students are giving proof of their education in manliness of character as well as in knowledge and mental power. Hazing has been of late unknown.—Ex.
Edward Olson, the new president of the University of Dakota, is a Norwegian by birth and succeeded Professor Boise, the noted Greek scholar, as professor of Greek at Chicago University, holding the position until the university was suspended. Mr. Olson is the first college president of Scandinavian origin.
The Aegis, of Wisconsin University, one of the best weeklies that comes to our table contains the graduating address of Yan Phoor Lee, at Yale College, entitled "The Other Side of the Chinese Question." This is an excellent address and deserves the perusal of every one interested in the question of foreign immigration; it gives numerous statistics which go to prove that our country has nothing to fear from that direction, and further shows that the late Anti-Chinese law was the work of interested politicians and demagogues.
Senior Class Meeting.
That ostentatious, pretentious and pompous body, that more ornamental than useful appendage to every University, that necessary evil—the genus Senior—held Friday morning last in all their majesty, their first class meeting of the year. The session was long and exciting. So important was the business that each Senior missed several of his classes. After passing many resolutions, petitioning the faculty for the privilege of wearing high hats (and long coat,) sending President Cleveland an invitation to pass in review before them, and other minor transactions, they proceeded to the election of officers with the following result: President, J. M. Hallagan; secretary, Miss Hunnicutt; treasurer, A. C. Cunkle; poet, Miss Churchill; historian, Miss Wilson; master of athletics, W. E. Higgins. Meeting then adjourned.
Though in secret session, it has been learned on good authority, that there was much trouble experienced in the election of officers. The first ballot always resulted in a tie—each one present receiving one vote.
Some of the professors, this week put on their overcoats and heard their classes recite in rooms which could readily be used as refrigerators. They do not seem to realize that students have feeling the same as professors.
The article on "Consistency" which appeared in the last number of the Review was the production of H. D. Smith, of Olathe, Kansas, and was the oration which elicited so much praise and favorable comment at our last Commencement. Through some mistake Mr. Smith was given no credit for the article in the columns of the Review.

"Governor Waterman has appointed Mr. W. W. Douglas, of this city, to the position of executive secretary. Mr. Douglas, it is understood, has accepted the position, and is making arrangements to start for Sacramento in a few days. This is a selection which we believe will prove extremely gratifying to our citizens generally, irrespective of party. Mr. Douglas is a young man of education, of character and of excellent business ability. As deputy postmaster he had entire charge of the office and filled the position to the acceptance of the authorities and the public. He held for a while the position of deputy county clerk, and has recently been a member of the abstract firm of Wozencraft, Douglas & Cave. The new position can hardly prove as satisfactory from a pecuniary standpoint as the work in which he is here engaged; but the opening will doubtless afford profitable experience for a young and able man. The hearty good wishes of his fellow citizens will go with him to his new field of duty."—San Bernardino (Cal.) Index.
Mr. W. W. Douglas, as some of our older readers will remember, received his education at K. S. U. While here he stood high both as a scholar and as a gentleman, respected and liked by all. We congratulate him upon receiving his high appointment and trust that his future may be as bright and full of success as has been his past. He is a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
The fourth series of concerts given in University hall by the Department of Music will be opened Tuesday evening, October 18, with a piano recital by Mr. E. B. Perry, assisted by Prof. Aldrich. Mr. Perry, although blind, is a pianist who has made a great reputation throughout the east. He cannot be considered as a prodigy, but is a refined and cultured musician of rare talent. His performance will be one of the musical events of the year. Not only students may attend these concerts but also the intelligent public of Lawrence will be made welcome. The Courier would like to see a crowded house.

With this last change each department is better arranged and the situation of the Profs. throughout the building is probably permanent.
Louie Lord.
This evening Miss Louie Lord, supported by an excellent company, will present a new society melodrama entitled "Idonia," in the opera house. Saturday evening the same company will present the very funny comedy "Dreams." Seats are now on sale at Field & Hargis' book store.
The Hanlon Brothers.
The Hanlon Brothers will appear at the opera house next Tuesday evening, October 18, in their farcical absurdity entitled “'Le Voyage En Suisse.' They have just returned from a three year's tour on the continent. The play is one of those peculiar constructions intended to make people laugh. From the first appearance of the Hanlons at the upsetting of the stage coach until the curtain drops on the last act with the stage in utter confusion the audience is kept wild with delight at the witty sayings, comical situations, pretty songs with which “'Le Voyage En Suisse'” is replete. No play this season has made the success that this has. Although the expense of producing “'Le Voyage En Suisse'” for one night in Lawrence will far exceed other plays produced in this city no extra charge will be made for reserved seats.

A library has been fitted up for the laws in their own rooms, and by Prof Green placed in it over $3,000 worth of books, which he does as a matter of accommodation to the boys and for which he receives no pay. The State has furnished for the department a very good collection of text books, costing not to exceed $1,000. These have been placed in the University library and under the new regulations no law student is allowed to enter the library, and yet the faculty refuse to allow the law books to be taken into the law library and thus the students are practically deprived of all use of them. As a consequence some of the legal limbs are righteously indignant and it certainly is not treating Prof. Green right after he has placed his much more valuable books at the disposal of the department, to be refused those furnished by the State. The law books are for law students and are used by no others and they should be placed where those wishing to use them can have access to them.

Steam will probably be turned on by Monday and all inconveniences of the cold weather interfering with students will cease.
Mr. B. J. Larimer of Topeka will conduct a union meeting of the college and city Y.M.C.A. in their rooms this evening.
Mrs. G. H. Harpernee Miss Minnie Collins, an old University student, was recently thrown form a buggy and severely injured.
Two new tables were placed in the chemistry laboratory this week. By this improvement fifteen more students can work in the laboratory at one time.
One of ye pencil-pushers has been on a visit home, so if the local columns are more interesting than usual, it may be attributed to this fact.
The ball game that was to be last Saturday between the Sigma Chi and Phi Delta Theta nines was declared in favor of the Sigma Chis, the Phi Delts not showing up.
The first of the four Forensics of the Junior and Senior classes, is due to-day. They are theses written in argumentative form, consisting of at least two thousand words.
That great living issue, the all absorbing question of the day—whether Grant was a greater man than Washington, will be finally decided at the Athenaeum, this afternoon.
At last the smoke stack is completed. It is 110 feet high. The names of the workmen were placed, within the brick-work, a few feet below the iron plates, so that the students of a thousands years hence, when the structure shall begin to crumble away, may learn the names of the swiftest workmen of modern times.
Kansas City Notes.
K. S. U. students were decidedly numerous.
Dr. Lippincott dined with the President in the evening.
Profs. Wilcox and Snow were among the Faculty representatives.
Students versed in mythology had an opportunity for displaying their knowledge during the Priests of Pallas parade.
Haskell Institute had a place on the platform during the reception, while the representatives of K. S. U. were smothering in the crowd. Many wished themselves "Injuns."
The excursion train did not arrive here until after two o'clock, Friday morning. Many stayed in Kansas City until, Saturday or Sunday, while others whose homes are near by, made short visits to their ma's.
"Why we we've got three or four better looking girls, right up at the University, than Mrs. Cleveland," was the remark made by one of our noble youth, as he passed before the reviewing stand. Wonder which three or four he meant?
One or two of our professors, who were compelled to teach Thursday last have been taking occasion during the past week to vent their spleen upon students who were absent that day, remarking about the useless waste of time and even money. It seems as if everyone would learn after while, that there is just a little bit of the world outside of the walls of the class-room and that the President of the United States will beat a professor everytime in drawing a crowd.
No. 7.
Geo. C. Miln will appear at the opera house November 3,1887,and the management requests that if the students have any choice of Shakespeare's plays while they would like presented they should send in their choice to Mr. Frank March.
WHEREAS, An all-wise Providence has removed from us a fellow-student and friend, Charles Richard McCamish, and
WIRE-EAS, We, the instructors and students of the University of Kansas, had remarked the unusual abilities he possessed and had hoped from him, had he lived, more than ordinary service of what is best in the world; therefore
Whatever the majority of the patrons of the opera house desire presented, will be placed upon the stage on the above date.
Resolved, That it is our desire to make it known that we appreciate properly the loss we have endured; and that we wish to extend to the bereaved family our sincere sympathy; and
Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the college journals, and that copies of the same be sent the family.

Kent Club.
The club next proceeded to render its literary program of which there seemed an abundance, there being two separate entertainments provided for the same evening. Now came a display of forensic ability from various members of the club. The rising young Webster from Indiana having presented unanswerable argument with unprecedented eloquence secured the vote of the club to the support of his program, although many opponents showed great verbosity and veracity in their statements, with lawyerly pomposity, various gentlemen from Kansas and Illinois participating.
Having occasion Thursday evening to visit the court house, I was attracted by the hum of a multilude of voices in the court room.
The literary exercises then began with Mr. Enns' brilliant production on the life of Blackstone, in his own unique style. This was followed by varied exercises, all of which were commendable. Then came a spirited debate on the foreign immigration question, both sides being ably sustained. Words fail to reach the heights to which these gentlemen may attain from such humble beginnings. ALPHA.
On entering I beheld several young gentlemen with smooth face and honest brow, all of whom I afterwards learned were young limbs of the law. Learning that their Kent Club met that evening I determined to remain.
After various acrobatic feats and general discussions the club proceeded to business. The President being absent the gentleman from California acted as chairman with the Virginia member secretary thus uniting the East and West.
P. S.—We forgot to mention the fact that the club was "dunned" by an African gent for his fees as janitor. A.

From the Press of P. T. FOLEY.
Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas,
as second-class matter.
The question of college expenses and at what cost our boys and girls can be educated is being discussed by the leading journals and magazines throughout the country. In another column appears an able article taken from the University Voice which so well expresses our views on the subject that we publish it in full.
MICHIGAN, although composing within its borders some of the best educational institutions in the west, has no representation in the InterState Oratorical association. Whether it is from neglect or from the deficiency of training of the oratorical faculties of her students we are not prepared to say. All the progressive institution in the west and northwest have representatives in these contests productive of the greatest benefit and Michigan should be reprinted.
RUSKIN the great art critic is insane. A man recognized as a critic of art, as eloquent, fearless and learned as has ever lived. A personage learned in art and in science, master of the English language, a public benefactor, a friend of the working-man, a writer on political economy has past away and the world has been deprived of one who although eccentric was undoubtedly a man of genus and an honor to society and the human race.
The standard of a college is estimated in a great degree from the number of bright men they send out into the world and the stand they take in society, literature and politics We notice that four of the candidates on the State ticket of Ohio, are graduates from the Ohio Wesleyan University, viz Gov. Foraker, Watson, Powell and Critchfield. Although none of the graduates of our University have as yet attained a National reputation yet in our State politics they are among the first. A great many of our graduates have become professors, editors, lawyers, doctors, preachers and railroad managers of not merely local reputation and it is only a matter of time until some of these will obtain by their industry and perseverance a national reputation.
THE victims of the most barbarious and unmanly customs of our eastern college; that of hazing are coming before the public. Two deaths have already occurred this year from the practice which is one of the lowest traits students of any college can have. The faculty of colleges where this habit has been prevalent are enacting serious rules against all those engaging in such acts. College's whose authorities license or permit such customs ought to be branded as institutions detrimental to the human race and should not recieve the patronage of any thoughtful person. Our western institutions are to be congratulated that this uncivilized custom has not appeared in their midst.
Prizes offered for literary productions will stimulate literary men and women and students of our colleges in their endeavor to produce literary articles of merit. Periodicals, newspaper and magazines, who offer some compensation for the production of these articles are in a certain sense a literary benefactor. The Hamilton Literary Monthly published by the senior class of Hamilton college will award a prize of one hundred dollars to the writer of the best essay on the subject: "The Conservativeism of American Institutions." The essay is to contain not over 7,000 words and capable and unprejudiced judges have been selected to decide on the merits of the production. Surely the great West with its men of literary ability should be represented. No one is denied the privilege of competition; professors, students and the public in general are invited to contest.
Orophilian.
There has been a great deal said upon the subject of literary societies in these columns of late. About all the argument there is in favor of good literary societies has been stated, so that we would be taking up valuable time and space if we were to say any more in that line. It is simply our purpose to place before the readers of the Courier an history of the facts in regard to the struggles of Orophilian this year.
The first Friday after school commenced Orophilian held its first meeting of the year. At first unable to secure a quorum, the members present wrestled around and got the requisite number (thirteen) together. About the only thing that was accomplished by the society was the election of a committee of three to petition the faculty and board of regents to allow them to meet in their hall in the evenings.
At the first meeting of the faculty a committee was appointed to try and free Friday afternoons of recitations. This committee either through indifference or for some unknown cause delayed making their decision known to the Orophilian committee till the first of this week, when they informed them that Friday afternoon from two till four was at their service. This hour was rejected by the committee for two reasons, first on account of the shortness of the hour.
To this proposition some members of the faculty gave their approval while others bitterly opposed it.
When the Orophilian committee again proposed an evening session they were told that their hall would not be opened to them in the evenings because it was in the main building. At the same time the committee was given to understand that the faculty would probably open the auditorium of Snow hall or the chemistry building for evening sessions, providing the society would pay for the lighting, heating, and the janitors.
This proposition would seem reasonable at first sight but when one comes to think that the janitors sweep each lecture room daily, that the buildings are heated by steam and that the fires are not allowed to die out in the furnaces from fall to spring,one can readily see that these two items would be of unnecessary expense and that the State would be making just as much extra as the student paid for these two items. The gas bill the society would without a doubt be willing to pay, indeed it would be a poor society that would not. And in our opinion it would be a poor kind of a society that would consent to pay for the janitors and the heating under the present arrangement of things. We are glad to inform our readers that through all of these difficulties Orophilian still lives and will continue to do so for many years to come.
The society has secured the hall on the third floor over Mr. Leis' drug store, corner of Massachusetts and Henry streets,and will hold a meeting there this evening.
College Expenses.
The commencement season brings its usual supply of newspaper articles on the inordinate expense of education in our modern colleges. In this case, as in so many others, the supply of articles meets a general demand. It is not easy for a father to foot enormous bills for his son at college with any patience, when he remembers the narrow fund which carried him through college, or for want of which he was compelled to give up the idea of going to college altogether. The newspaper article not only states his feeling in vigorous English, but gives him a tangible foundation for his feeling. It meets his case, and the case of countless others, too exactly not to find favor in their eyes. And so the newspapers brim with notes of the "average cost" of going through this college and that, and with reflections on the extravagance which is encouraged by the methods of the modern college life. There are, however, certain correctives which should go with the annual statistics.
An average may be mathematically true, and yet altogether delusive. "I make a statement that the average of my friends is 20 years. If my friends are 18,19,20,21,and 22 years of age,the average 20 is a useful and true expression.If,however,they are 10,15,50,25,and 30, it is less useful;and if they are 4 of them 10 years old and 1 of them 60, the average 20 is still numerically correct,but it is absurd and untruthful in the impression it gives." The last case is quite parallel with the "averages" of the expenses of classes
at the various American colleges, as they are annually published in the newspapers. The few extravagant students are able to do so much more effective work at their end than the great body of the students can do at theirs, that the "average" goes up to a figure which is quite misleading. Meantime, in the teeth of all the averages, the great body of the students go on as their fathers did, and, even at those colleges which are selected as the most expensive of all, there is always a smaller body of students who are working their way through college and showing that the "average" has no real relation to the question. There is not a college in America from which poverty alone need debar a student; there is not one from which he may not graduate, provided he has that amount of ability which will make a college education a benefit, and provided, also, he is willing to work before and through his course, and deny himself, as was the custom in our fathers' day.
It is this last custom which is going out of existence; and that is enough to show that the root of the evil does not lie in the college, but in the home. The very parents who speak so bitterly of the encouragement given to young men's extravagance by the modern college life have carefully trained their sons for just the life which they found. Usually men in moderate circumstances, they have never compelled their sons to earn a dollar in their lives, or to know the cost or value of money, or to deny themselves anything within their reach, or to do anything except spend money when a favorable opportunity offered. The sons, passing for the first time beyond the father's eye, and able to plead circumstances which parents cannot deny from personal knowledge, are in a fair position to deplete the paternal pocketbook, and have never been trained to refrain from improving such an opportunity. It is not for his own selfish gratification that the son joins this or that college society, or takes all the college papers, or "goes with the nine" to watch an inter-collegiate game in another college town, or does any of the other things for which his father has to pay,—not at all; it is only because he would be ostracized in college if he refrained from such indulgences. Such are the statements which accompany the periodical petitions for checks; and the father, finding it easier to curse course extravagance than to take the trouble of ascertaining the true state of the case, continues his mistraining of the boy by paying his bills until, at the end of the college course, the son is turned loose upon the world, to find at last what a dollar really means.
In nine cases out of ten, the student's self-control, if it led to a refusal to be enticed into unnecessary expenditures, would be simply ignored by the other students of his college. There are always cliques which would ignore himself as well; and, to this extent, the dreaded "taboo" might be endured. But this difficulty is purely subjective; it is the student himself, and its roots are in his home-training. If he has
come to the college to cultivate or value the society of such cliques, the penalty has an effective force; if he has been trained to undervalue or ig the penalty, it has no power over him. When he yields to it and writes home that he "must have" money for this, that, or the other purpose, the father who supplies this demand is cultivating further the son's vanity, and further preparing vexation of spirit for himself. For him to pay the money and thus increase the evil, while he considers it the unperformed duty of the college authorities to suppress all the societies, expel the editors of all the college papers, and to abolish the intercollegiate games, is merely another example of the decadence of American home-life and discipline. The father expects the college to do for the son what the home no longer does for him; he sends to college flabby material, and expects the material to be turned into such strong, self-poised, self-controlled manhood as the American home once furnished to the college. If the children's teeth are set on edge, it is largely because the father's have eaten sour grapes.
There can be little doubt that two-thirds of the material now sent to college would be bettered by being put into a workshop of some kind for two years between the ages of twelve and sixteen. The spread of comfort among the people have been steadily increasing the number of those who can spare their sons the necessity of work even through their years of early manhood, and we have not yet come to understand the full measure of the injury which is thus done to the charaater of the boy. At the same time, the colleges have been developing in a direction which gives greater and still greater freedom to the student, and thus brings into constantly greater prominence the evils resulting from the modern American system of home-training. To check the college in its natural course of development, to demand that it shall cease its proper work and attend to wrapping the student in cotton-wool and keeping him from the temptations incident to make permanent and irreparable the damage which is being done to young American manhood. Things must be worse before they can be better. American parents must learn that education is not complete when so many books have been finished and so many term-bills paid; that a true education consists even more largely in the training of the character and of the will than in book-knowledge. When American homes send to American colleges boys who have been trained to discriminate between the accidents of life and its essentials, the complaints of college extravagance will disappear, and a good many other evils will go with them.

Harvard University will soon have a "Hastings Hall," to cost $250,000, built by the Hastings family, which has been represented there in every generation except one for over 200 years.
The News Letter is one of our new exchanges and is a neatly printed and well arranged magazine. The literary matter is of a very high character, and the editorials show careful preparation.
Dr. Henry D. Cogswell has donated property worth $1,000,000 to found a Technical School in San Francisco. It will be for both boys and girls, and will be named the Cogswell Polytechnic College.
Nebraska has a college with a million dollar endowment, twelve professors and two hundred students, but it languishes. The trouble is it has no distinctive yell. A college without a yell is a poor affair.
Out of the Harvard graduating class numbering 236, only 114, or a bare majority, ranked over 70. Of these only nine ranked over 90, showing that diligent students are not numerous in that institution.
It is stated that of the seventeen presidents of the United States, eleven were college graduates; of twenty vice-presidents, ten; of twenty-nine secretaries of state, nineteen; of forty-one associate justices of the United States Supreme Court, thirty.
The College Review, from Upper Alton, Illinois, is the poorest excuse of a college journal we have seen for many a day. The literary department is about seventy-five years behind the times, and the local columns are filled up with a ridiculous lot of slush.
The Lehigh Burr with its historical brown cover decorated with chestnut burrs and all sorts of curious devices, but between these covers we find a neat, well arranged paper. The literary matter is good and contains an amusing article on "My First Court Rush."
Of the six Yale Seniors who last year received the highest literary bonors—the Townsend prizes for oratory—one is captain of the base ball team, two rowed in the class crew, and another is captain of the foot-ball team. one played in the class nine and the sixth is a good athlete.
W. clip the following from a humorous description of a visit to the Dakota Agricultural College. The entire article would be interesting but our space will permit but a small portion: "The many friends of Dr. McLouth will be pleased to read the following from the Dakota Bell: 'We had the pleasure one
day this week of visiting the territorial agricultural college at Brookings. We found the president of the institution carefully examining a flax seed with a microscope under the impress ion that it was a chinch bug 'playing possum' on him. He grasped our hand warmly and invited us out to the experimental farm. 'The force at work is hardly so large as usual,' explained the president, owing to the fact that I have several of them locked up in the cellar for refusing to work digging the great holes necessary to plant the pumpkins. I reasoned like this: If they objected now, what will they do next Fall when it becomes necessary to dig the pumpkins, with, perhaps fifteen or twenty in a hill?''—The Moderator.
A Kentuckian with a large jug made a bargain with a countryman to take him four miles over the hill. "How much'll you charge?"
"Oh, a couple of swigs of the stuff in that jug'll make it about square, I reckon."
After the journey had been made and the countryman had taken a swig, he said: "Stranger, I'm a peaceable man, but if you don't want to be chuck full of lead to-night you'd better find another way to carry more molasses.—Ex.
Views
EDITOR VIEWS:—Although, perhaps, the subject is coming to be a "chestnut," I think a few words on the temperature of the University during the past few weeks will not come amiss. The chilliness of the building has occasioned much unfavorable comment, not only in the halls, but throughout the city; and it has undoubtedly hurt the University. It has been a great wrong, to say the least, to continue class work while the heating apparatus is not in complete working order.
Of course, no one is to blame for the delay, yet I think the Board of Regents, or the Faculty, I know not which, must be held accountable for the greater part of the heavy clouds, and the illness which are now so prevalent among the students.
Two of the Faculty, I am glad to relate, have not kept track of their absentees, and do not intend so doing while the rooms are in their present condition. Another professor thinks a half hour recitation in comfortable rooms better than an hour at the University, and therefore hears his classes at his home.
Two of the professors, at their own expense, procured gas stoves when the chilly weather first set in. And last Saturday four more were set up. So now a student has a more varied choice. He may either feel that he is taking cold, being poisoned by the gas, with which the rooms heated (? by the above-mentioned gas stoves are fairly blue, or he may remain at home, receive a zero, and consequently at the close of the term obtain a lower grade than he deserves.
If the building can not be properly heated next Monday, the students ought to hold a meeting and declare that they will not attend classes until it is so heated. This action would be upheld and applauded by the leading physicians of the city as well as by several of the Faculty, who are in attendance only because they cannot afford to lose their situations.
Now I should like to know how long matters are to continue thus. One professor remarked that the steam ought to be on next Monday. It ought to have been on, or ready to be turned on, before there was any danger whatsoever of a cold snap.
I hope everyone who has any connection with the Kansas University will read this article and act upon it. G

Rice's "Evangeline."

"Evangeline."
Certain plays, like certain books, though old are forever new. Such a play is the beautiful burlesque, "Evrngeline." Although this play hrs been almost constantly before the public for eight or ten years past, it has undergone so many marked improvements that, as now presented, it is materially different from the original production.
The present company is also a much better one than has ever before been seen in this play—and the personnel of the company is really a much more important factor than the play itself; for the success of "Evangeline depends almost wholly upon the stage pictures presented; the lights and shades; the harmonies of color and of sound; the beautiful groupings; the gracesel movements; the ensemble of lovely faces, figures and costumes; and the bright sayings and ludicrous actions of the individual members of the company.
Mr. Tillotson's company is uniformly excellent, and the performance as a whole is one of the most entertaining that will be seen here this season.
"Evangeline" will be presented at Bowersock's Opera House, Monday, October 31, 1887.

The Junior Parmacy class a short time ago had a drill in practice which was quite amusing. To an outsider it looked as if Prof. Sayer was having a regular "taffy pull." The fact was the junior class was being introduced into the secrets of the science by making a batch of sealing wax. Each student was obliged to make one stick for his own use during the course. It was easy to be seen that they were getting their "hands in" many in so doing got their fingers in too—a well enough, good initiation for the boys.

From the Press of P. T. FOLEY.
Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansa as second-class matter.
An idea is prevalent among the students of different institutions, and the students of the University of Kansas are not free from this erroneous impression, that college journals are run in the interest of the few and that there columns are used to promulgate and enhance the interests of certain cliques, factions and fraternities. The "Courier" has not escaped this censure and the editors often hear the remark that it is partisan even at the expense of the best interests of the University and the students. In selecting our board of editors for the present year, The Courier Company endeavored as far as possible to have representatives from the various departments and one from each of the various fraternities and the Non-Greek element. It endeavored as much as possible to avoid placing on its editorial board any merely nominal editors. Was it successful? Of the teneditors on our staffs, three or four do all the work and receive the unjust criticism of the other editors and the public in general of partiality. In our salutatory we invited the students and professors of the University to contribute to this paper anything which would be of interest to the public, or views in regard to University and educational affairs in general. Few contributions have been handed as, and the very persons who have neglected to accept this invitation are leudest in the condemnation of college journals, and on every hand send out the cry of partiality, prejudice and mismanagement. If partiality means the support of our friends and the condemnation of our enemies, the expression of our honest views and convictions, the enhancing of what seems to us to be for the best interest of the University and the denouncing of any mismanagement and folly on the part of the powers that be, and the students, then we admit we are partial. We, however, claim the Courier to be the students paper, its columns always open for the expression of their views, and as their paper, it should receive the support of the students and the friends of the University.
It may be encouraging to those who have sometimes felt themselves "deprived of opportunities" because they could not "go east" to college, to read the following from the pen of Professor E. J. James, of the University of Pennsylvania: "It is a fact, I think, which will not be denied by any one who has suffered for four years at the hands of the average college instructor, that much, if not most, of the teaching done in our colleges is of an exceedingly low grade. It will not compare favorably with the teaching in our best preparatory schools, and is certainly far inferior to that performed by the best trained teachers in our elementary public schools. I remember distinctly the sensation of disappointment, almost of disgust, which I experienced on entering Harvard College, to find that the average instructor and professor with whom I came in contact was so decidedly inferior in teaching ability to the better master whom I had known in the preparatory school.
"The fact is so patent that he who runs may read, that of the twenty-five or thirty men who compose the faculty of our larger colleges, scarcely one-fourth can be reckoned as good teachers, using the word teacher, not in the sense of drill master, but in that wider and truer sense in which Agassiz used it when he signed himself 'Louis Agassiz, teacher.'
One of the most important reasons for this state of things is to be found in an almost total lack of any preparatory instruction in the art and science of education on the part of those who are to fill our academic and college positions. The remedy is to be sought in the establishment of chairs of pedagogy in our colleges and universities."
The young man entering college thinks that success in after life is assured, and that the possibility of failure does not exist. The young man leaving college finds the avenues of commerce crowded, the professions full to overflowing, a dozen applicants for every situation, and begins to realize the fierceness of the struggle for life. At this juncture he asks himself what he is fitted for? What he can do better than before his college career? What indeed? The question has been a sad one for many a bright young man.
Menial, manual and laborious work he feels himself above. It galls his pride to accept a clerical position at a salary far below what is paid men with less than one-quarter of his education and mental acquisitions. With these false ideas and feelings of false pride, he meets disappointment on every side, and loses much valuable time in fruitless endeavor. The general public are largely to blame for this false and foolish idea of college graduates. The prevailing idea is that it is a disgrace for a college man to be found in an ordinary mercantile position. People think that the four years spent in college have been wasted, if a graduate does not immediately begin to earn more money than young men of his own age, who have not had his educational advantages. They expect that a man will come forth
from college, even as Minerva from the head of Jove, armed cap-a-pie, ready for the battle of life, and are always prepared to sneer if he does not. Naturally enough the graduate wishes to meet and satisfy public expectations and is disappointed and wounded in pride when he cannot. But is there reason for this expectation or this disappointment? Look about you and see how the business of the world is conducted and find your answer. This is preeminently a commercial age, an age of invention, manufacture and gigantic financial enterprises. Such an age demands a man skillful in one thing. It divides and sub-divides its labor into thousands of branches, and trains men to expertness in every branch. It is not reasonable to suppose that the man who has spent four years in the seclusion of the college can at once compete in the business world with men thus trained and experienced. He too must begin at the bottom and acquire expertness through the same tedious routine.
There is another hindrance to the success of college men even more permissible than the one just spoken of. It is unquestionably true that in college a young man acquires tastes and habits to which a life of severe toil is repugnant and odious. Thus it happens that we so often see college graduates seeking for positions where there is large remuneration for a small amount of work—in other words "soft snaps." Idleness is the result of the vain search. For it is a rule, with but few exceptions that a man receives no more than he earns. In the jostle and push of business life nearly every man is rated according to his abilities. No matter where a man starts if he possesses the requisite energy and merit he will undoubtedly be rewarded accordingly. Nor can anyone be long in a position for which he is incapaciated. Failure to recognize this fact is the cause of so many college men being out of employment. There is work enough for all. Desires are in excess of the means of gratification, so says the political economists, and as long as this is true there cannot be too many workers. The college man must go to work just as other men, take the best that comes to hand and rest assured that as they make themselves valuable to the world, the world will repay them. But you will ask, is a college training of values, save as a means of culture? While this is undoubtedly its greatest value, it has also its mercantile, or if you please, mercenary value. Without a good foundarian a solid structure cannot be built, and experience proves too clearly to require further demonstration, that a careful college training is the best foundation for a well rounded and successful life. It is true as Rev. Mann said in his opening address "that commonly the millions have been amassed by the comparatively ignorant, by men of sharpness without culture and even without refinement," and yet the educated have been as a rule more successful than the ignorant and have belonged to the fairly well-to-do class among whom is found the greatest happiness.
NEVER before has there seemed to be such a scarcity of good boarding places, accessible to students. The hotels and restaurants are too far from the University and from that part of the city in which most of the students room, to be convenient or suitable. The number of clubs which have been formed seem unusually small. In fact it is coming to be a matter of considerable difficulty for old as well as new students to find places, at all convenient to their rooms, at which they can board. It is a little strange that such a difficulty should exist in a city of this size, but, since it undoubtedly does exist, some means must be devised to obviate it.
It is probably true that a majority of the students room in the southwestern part of the city around the foot of the hill. The number of boarding houses and clubs in this neighborhood, with their present capacity, is insufficient to comfortably and satisfactorily accommodate the students.
In view of these facts, we believe that, if some energetic person with some experience in this direction, should take hold of the matter and supply the deficiency, he would not only greatly benefit and convenience the students but also make it very profitable to himself.
We believe that a restaurant, arranged somewhat as follows would satisfactorily meet the wants of the students and would be quite profitable also: Let a house be built near the foot of the hill if a suitable one cannot be rented, which shall contain a large kitchen, a parlor or waiting room, and several medium sized apartments which may be used as dining rooms. In each of these apartments let not more than two tables be placed, each of which will set four or six persons. These rooms should be divided into several classes. Each of these classes should command its own price according to the grade of the board served in the rooms belonging to it. All grades of board should be cooked and served with equal neatness and care, and should differ only in degrees of plainness or variety. A system following the above plan, which has been but briefly sketched, might have some defects, but it would also possess some advantages which would at least recommend it for consideration.
The division of the dining room into several apartments, accommodating only a limited number, would avoid the unpleasant confusion and the noise which is always so annoying in large dining halls, and it would thus enable those who were best acquainted and congenial to assemble always at the same table.
The division of the dining room would also facilitate the serving of different grades of board; for it is always unpleasant to have more than one class of boarders together in one room, for reasons which are obvious.
The object for serving more than one grade of board i, that it would accommodate and meet the wants of a greater number, than if all the tables were set alike. Some students, the more favored in regard to worldly goods, want and are unsatisfied if they do not get better board, than
is required by others. While there are those in turn, either from lack of means to pay, or from habits and tastes previously acquired, desire, even demand plainer food. Both want their meals served with neatness, and in an attractive and convenient place. Both are willing to pay for that which they get, but they want to get that for which they pay, and for which they are willing to pay.
It seems impossible that a good house established on some such plan as the above, calculated to meet in the highest degree the wants of the greatest possible number of students, and managed with good common sense, could fail of success. We understand that some one contemplates starting such an an establishment, and if this be the case, it is to be hoped that he may be successful.
Oratorical Association
THERE were a great many typographical errors in the last issue of the Courier. While it was the fault of the proof reader,it was because he was rushed on the last day on account of the editors waiting till the last minute to hand in their copy. We trust that this will not be the cause in the future.
According to the constitution of the Oratorical Association the regular annual meeting for the election of officers and for the transaction of business relative to the contest should have been held on Oct. 18th. This meeting should have been called by the secretary, the president being absent, and if this officer should avoid the performance of this duty, the board of directors should at least take enough interest to post a bulletin for a meeting. Probably never since the University has been a member of the association has such little interest been taken in preparing for a contest. A state of indifference, of lethargy and somnolent energy in relation to oratory has infused itself among our students and a state of torpor has been reached which is much to be regretted and must be eradicated. What is the cause of this state of things? The unwise removal of chapel rhetoricals. What has been placed in its stead? Nothing. Where is our professor of elocution? He has not yet made his appearance before the students and they much in need of oratorical training, are we deprived of this privilege. We see from this condition of things that a state of indifference of our students toward oratory would naturally follow. The secretary should immediately call a meeting of the association and, should be attended by all students. A new and vigorous feeling for the success of our contest should be aroused.
When disposed to grumble at our gymnasium facilities, we may perchance take comfort in the following:
The cheapest and simplest gymnasium in the world—one that will exercise every bone and muscle in the body—is a flat piece of steel notched on one side, fitted tightly into a wooden frame, and after being grea ed on both sides with a bacon rind, rubbed into a stick of wood laid lengthwise of a saw-buck. $ N. $ Y.

The odoriferous perfume which pervades the entire atmosphere of the University, daily about noon, arising from the cuisine department, puts the hungry student into a most wretched condition and the fourth hour availeth little. For what does it profit one to have his head full if his stomach is empty?
FIELD & HARGIS, Proprietors.
The Sigma Chi Fraternity gave a very pleasant informal hop in their elegant rooms last Friday night. The fore part of the evening was very enjoyably spent in dancing and other social amusements. Refreshments were served at the proper hour. After this the dancing was resumed. As the wee small hours crept around and warned the merry-makers, they dispersed to their various homes feeling that the Sigma Chi gentlemen were royal entertainers indeed. Those present were Misses Ocy and Pearl Phillips, May Hair, Mamie Henshaw, Eta Hadley, Eva Howe, Minnie Wagstaff, Donnie Bowersock, Rosa Nelson and Lilly Turner. Messlers. Taylor, Voorhees, Morris, Sharum, Montgomery, Kroh, Cunkle, Jus Bowersock and Smith.
Bowersock Opera House.
On the evening of Monday, October 31 will be presented the famous Operatic Extravaganza, Rice's Beautiful Evangeline. The following taken from the Chicago Times will give an idea of the performance:
"Evangeline" was successfully revived last evening at the Columbia by a company under the management of W. W. Tillotson, the inaugural winning the patronage and approval of a large audience. "Evangeline," like the mythical maiden "Iolante," wears well; its bright spots where dimmed by time have been retouched and its music has that simple melody that appears to charm the popular ear; but the faces and shapely figures that have come in new from season to season are undoubtedly the secret of its successful arrival of death that gives the successor life. With the power of the massive Fortescue and the grace veteran, James Moffit, the people are new to the piece, and without exception are superior to their predecessors of last season. Miss Hindle Harrison is the pretty, shapely impersonator of Felician, and Miss Cleaver continues to hold the heavy contralto role of Ferdinand, they are favorites in their small roles. C. W. Butler, the new impersonator of Le Blanc, labors earnestly with that role that was fashioned for and filled only by a Goodwin. Sherman Wade, a good fresh dialect comedian and excellent dancer, makes the chief of police a dignary that was attentive and applaure. Barney Wake, the most colorful of the variety stage, gives Captain Deitch, the best he. Is a versatile dialect artist, and his specialties won the heartiest applause. Anna Boyd has a fine figure, well calculated to attract as Gabriel. She is a graceful act and sings with taste. In topical songs she has the same captivating style that characterizes Kate Castleton. Miss Alice Butler, is the pretty and graceful Impersonator of Evangeline, well calculated to fill the title roll to advantage. The scenic effects are great, the amazonian march brilliant, and the costumes throughout bright and becoming.
Prof. Loisette's Memory Discovin the City.
ery.
Prof. Loisette's new system of memory training, taught by correspondence at 237 Fifth Avenue, New York, seems to supply a general want. He has had two classes at Yale of 200 each, 250 at Meriden, 300 at Norwich, 100 Columbia Law Students, 400 at Wellesley College, and 400 at the University of Penn., etc. Such patronage and the endorsement of such men as Mark Twain, Dr. Buckley, Prof. Wm. R. Harper, of Yale, etc., place the claim of Prof. Loisette upon the highest ground.
! Geo. C. Miln.
Geo. C. Miln, the tragedian, will appear at the Opera House next Thursday evening, Nov. 3rd. Mr. Miln's agent not having yet made his appearance, it is not yet known which one of the Shakespeare plays will be produced. The "Merchant of Nenice" seems to be the preference expressed by many, as "Hamlet," "Richelieu," "Macbeth," "Richard the III," and others adopted to Miln's style have been presented here during the last few seasons.
Students especially should not miss this grand opportunity of seeing one of our best tragedians and one of Shakespeare's plays.
