The Kappa Alpha Thetas entertained about fifteen gentlemen friends in a novel manner on Hallow E'en. About midnight the gentlemen visited the Smeed house, on Kentucky street, where the young ladies met them clothed in white, mute and ghostly. Elegant refreshments were served, but everything was conducted in silence.
Orophilian literary society held its usual meeting last Friday evening in I. O. O. F. hall over Leis'drug store. The program was short but interesting. The majority of the audience was new students. While new students are always most cordially welcomed, their numbers predominating over the old students indicates one of two things, either the old students have received sufficient literary training or they have allowed their interest to die down. Which is it? The following are the resolutions adopted with the faculty:
WHEREAS, the faculty of Kansas State University has refused to recognize the just claims of Orophillian Literary Society, in that they have not provided a reason for their neglected society and have neglected to take definite in regard to the same, be it
Resolved. That we the members of Oroblian Literary Society, hereby express our indignation at such treatment and declare such inaction and disinterest unworthy such an enlightened body and farthermore be it
Resolved. That these resolutions be submitted to the daily papers for publication, a copy of the same to be presented to the faculty and also spread upon our minutes. Done by the unanimous vote of the society, October 28, 1887.
The Athenaeum Literary Society held its regular meeting last Friday at 2 p.m. and an interesting program was rendered. The society is in a prosperous condition having at present between thirty-five and forty members. An interesting feature in the program of the society is an essay written each week by some member upon a current event of the prepious week. After the essay has been read the topic chosen is open to discussion by the members for thirty minutes. The scheme is a good one, and the multiplicity of views expressed creates a source of entertainment, amusement and instruction.
Each speaker is limited to five minutes. The society has secured a piano and usually has music just before or just after recess. The following program will be given this afternoon. Reading, E. S. Meade; declamation, Clara Meryfield; essay, N.B. Hilton; Oration, E. M. Munford; reading, Hiram Otto; declamation, J. M. Robinson; essay on current event, H. C. Riggs; discussion of essay by members, music, recess; oration, J. A. Mushrush; debate, question; resolved, That "booming" a town usually results in detriment to the town. Affirmative, M. L. Hackett, C. Y. Christian. Negative, C. S. Hall, J. B. Stout. The society meets on the third floor of the University building near the south end. Students and others interested in literary work are invited. Remember the time 2 o'clock, Friday afternoon.

From the Press of P. T. FOLEY.
Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas, as second-class matter.
Senator Ingalls, in an article or modern education, recently published in the official organ of Midland College, Atchison, Kas., claims that the system of instruction prevalent in higher education to-day, does not meet the condition and needs of the age. He holds that something is wanted besides Greek, Latin and mathematics, and claims that while the majority of college graduates cannot gain or earn a comfortable living, "the clownish boy who worked on his father's rocky farm till he was twenty-one, studying rudimentary text books as he lay on the floor of the squalid cabin, by the light of the hickory fire, at forty, has out-stripped the college graduate in the race of life. He has won his cases at the bar; taken a seat on the bench; been elected to congress; chosen president of the bank and railroad, without knowledge of the age of Periocles, the indebtedness of Sapho, or even having played a game of base ball, or pulled an oar in a rowing match."
The Senator, however, should remember that this is the exception, not the rule; and he should also consider that the young man of the present generation must, of necessity, be better equipped than the young man of twenty-five years ago. The majority of our senators and congressmen even to-day have more than a common school education.
The gentleman himself, although a member of the senate, was never kept in a state of ignorance until he was twenty-one, never lowered his "lofty head" to enter a lowly cabin, but has reclined from his earliest childhood in the library humming the Homeric verse or reading the sweet strains of a Virgil or Horace. A college education of so-day is much broader than thirty years ago, and even Williams, his alma mater, has increased her options twenty per cent. since the gentleman left her classic walls.
Orophilian has at last procured a hall, passed resolutions protesting against the manner they have been treated by the faculty, have asserted their "rights," and are happy. There
is, however, consistency and inconsistency.
When the committee of the faculty offered to make arrangements with the professors so that they could hold afternoon sessions, they objected. Nothing but a night session would satisfy them, and the members of the committee, taking in consideration the expense which would be incurred by night sessions, reported unfavorably. Whether the society followed wisdom and showed good judgment in the manner and stand they have taken must be left to public opinion. However, at the last session a member of that august body made an assertion unfounded and false in relation to poor old Oread. Charges which cannot be proven, and at a time when no member friendly to that organization could refute, and at a time when no defense could be offered. The members should always at least be truthful in their assertions, and should at least have some respect for the departed and the dead.
We do not believe that it was the intention of the gentleman referred to to give an erroneous impression to the new students concerning Oread and her members; but, at any rate, the attack and insinuation were cowardly, feeble and unmanly in every particular.
The College Editor.
The following poem taken from one of our exchanges represents college journalistic work to perfection.
The prevalant idea that the managing of a college paper is of little importance and has but a small amount of work and responsibility connected wlth it, is wrong. To edit a good college paper and especially a weekly, a man must of necessity deprive himself of pleasure in order to carry on his studies, and in a greater or less degree must come into conflict with the latter.
The editor sat in his sanctum, Letting his lessons rin;
Letting his lessons rip;
Racking his brain for an item,
And stealing all he could clip.
The editor sat in his class room,
As if getting over a drunk.
His phiz was clouded with awful gloom
For he'd made a total flunk.
The editor returned to his sactum,
He hit himself in the eye;
He swore he'd enough of the busin ,
He would quit the paper or die.
Preparation for College.
It is a general rule of the architect that a foundation to be good, must of necessity be broad and deep. In education as well as architecture the rule holds good. In the east the foundation of a college education is the academy, in the west the high school. From the embryo, the academy, the college with all its branches springs. Therefore from the character of the work wrought in our high schools, the degree of preparation obtained and the thoroughness of the knowledge acquired will depend upon the character, quality and quantity of the work accomplished by a student in his University course.
In an article in one of our exchanges in relation to a college course, we find the following:
The college, particularly the western institution which is known by this name as distinguished from the
common school and the University, is an institution peculiar, so far as I can learn, to the United States. As the common school imparts knowledge to the growing mind, which matures as the body does, by the proper assimilation of its food, thus laying the foundation for an education; as the healthy and vigorous growth of the youth gives a basis for future strength and usefulness as a man, so the college, upon the beginnings so made, seeks, while constantly adding to the stores of knowledge, to train these partially matured minds to sound moral and manly character; to broad views of life and the proper giving and receiving of its good things, and to that self-knowledge which gives the fullest command of all the faculties. It has been well said that the "college is the training place for minds not yet mature in the elements of knowledge and culture. The University is the teaching place for those who have been trained to the capacities, character and responsibilities of manhood." The regimen of the college is strict; the course of study and the time necessary for its completion are prescribed, and all are adapted to the needs of that particular period of life, usually from about seventeen to twenty-five years, which the youth spends in college. From this college training which makes or mars his success in after life, the man goes into the world to add wisdom to his knowledge by his experience of the friction of the world, or else to the University to educate himself specially for the particular profession he has chosen. The college is the correcting corridor between the common school on the one hand, and active life on the other, whether it be through the halls of the University to professional life, or by direct contact with the world in "practical" life. So it will appear to be the policy conducive to the best success of the college to have its foundation in the common schools, whence it may draw its supplies of new materials, year by year, and when the college is, in a measure, established for a special purpose this fact has an added force.
College War Cries.
Every college of importance in this country has a college cry. In every town in which a college is situated, the midnight air resounds with the hideous yells of the student symbolic of Victory, defeat, or devilment. The student of University of Kansas use their yell but little and it is only amidst great victory that Rock-chalk-Jay-hawk, K-U-U-U float through the midnight air reminding one of a band of Apache Indians.
One of the college papers has compiled a list and history of college cheers. According to it the original shouts of the colleges were a repetition of the name of the college. This gave an advantage to the colleges which had sonorous names, and as the constant aim of cheering is to make more noise than the other cheerers, new yells were evolved by a process of evolution. These came into existence a quarter of a century ago, whenYale andHarvard had their boat races on Lake Quinsigamond,when the 'Rah! 'Rah! 'Rah! thrice repeated was first heard. Harvard sounded the 'Rahs full, and added "Harvard," pronounced so that the ar and a clipped d were all that were heard. "Yale" was added to the New Haven college's 'Rahs with a long onl on the a.
Princeton's cheer was developed soon after as Princeton came into athletic relations with the other colleges. They took the three 'Rahs for a basis, and added the skyrocket siz-boom-ah, which they hold on to as long as the nine 'Rahs of their opponents hold out, and then yell "Princeton" as a calliope climax. Dartmouth has one of the most novel cheers of all. Some Indian must have invented it, and stout college lungs gave it the right inflatus. It is Wah hoo-wah! Wah hoo-wah! Diddy, diddy, Dartmouth! Wah-hoo-wah! It is very picturesque, and only a sophomore can Wah-hoo to the best advantage. The hoo is like a human owl's hoot.
Everybody has heard of Columbia's Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! C-o-l-u-m-b-i-a! The name spells out rithmically. John Hopkins University at Baltimore has taken the ground plan of the cheer and built upon it, adding J-o-h-n H-o-p-k-i-n-s. instead of C-o-l-u-m-b-i-a. Stevens Institute at Hoboken, and Union College at Schenectady have similar cheers.
Rutgers has a cheer almost as original as Dartmouth s. It is 'Rah!' 'Rah!' 'Rah!' Bow-wow-wow! Rutgers! Williams has an entrance and resonat 'Rah!' 'Rah!' 'Rah!' Williams! yams! yams! Pennsylvania University has a wild Philadelphia cheer without any special charm. It is the three 'Rahs and Penn-syl-vani-ah! The College of the City of New York cheer better. They say 'Rah three times and add C! C N! Y!
Cornell has a cheer that once heard cannot be forgotten. It is like the rhyme of the passenjaire. It is given with proper emphasis only in times of excitement. Here it is: Cornell! Cornell! Cor-cor-cor-nell! I vell like——! Cornell!
Views.
One of the reasons the faculty gave for taking no action in regard to the request of Orophilian Literary Society for evening sessions, was teat they did not have the power to admit the society into the building at night.
If they have no power to grant Orophilians an evening meeting, surely they have no power to grant any other society the privilege of evening sessions in the University.
Wednesday a notice was posted on the bulletin board announcing that the Science Club would meet in its rooms Friday evening.
While not partial to any one society, we would like to know why one society has the privilege of holding evening sessions in its room while another is debarred from that right?
Is it because four or five Profs. are members of the Science Club that it is allowed to meet in its rooms at night?
If this is the case, the Profs. will soon be in great demand by the various societies in the University that are seeking privileges.
Is there any justice in allowing one body of students, that have four or five Profs. among them, the privilege of meeting in the University in the evening, and denying another body of students that privilege, who have no Profs. in their organization; but who are just as considerate, just as gentlemanly, just as honest and just as law-abiding as the Profs. themselves?
We are informed that the Science Club did not even ask the faculty in regard to the holding of their meetings, but simply posted their notice on their own responsibility.
Unless the faculty imforms the Science Club that they have no authority to hold evening meetings in their room, we will be led to think that this institution is not governed on the most democratic principles.
E.
As the law students are not allowed in the main library room, and as the law books kept in that room are of no benefit to any but the law students, why might not arrangement be made to put all those law books in the law room with the law library? Is a student to be compelled to run into the other library every few minutes to look up a reference when the time required to look up the reference is but one or two minutes, while obtaining the book takes ten or fifteen minutes. The law library has not even a law dictionary, while there are probably a thousand dollars worth of law books comparatively locked up from the use of the law students as access to them is so impracticable. OUTLAW.
Stanford University.
Senator Leland Stanford has endowed a school in California. The endowment is mainly in land, which, when sold, will realize a large fund. Buildings are now in process of erection, and next fall, it is hoped the doors may be opened.
The striking feature about this institution is the fact that it is intended exclusively for the poor. There will be no inducements for rich boys to go there. The accommodations will be thoroughly comfortable, but plain throughout. There will be no style and no luxury. The main work of instruction will be in the industrial arts. It will be a good school to teach a poor boy how to better his condition in life.
Such a University has no competition with Yale or Harvard. It fills a place of its own. But its place is one that has a crying need for just such work. The plan is a noble one, and capable of untold benificence. The benefit will react on on society at large. It will help to lift the level of civilization.
Senator Stanford has many enemies. His wealth, or rather his ways of getting wealth, expose him to criticism and attack. But such a public benefaction as that of the Stanford University makes up for a good deal that is not admirable in his record.—Ex.
"Two knots an hour isn't such bad time for a clergyman," smilingly said the minister to himself, just after he had united the second couple.

The North Western publishes the graduating address of Mr. Von Phon Lee on the Chinese Question. It is an article of considerable merit, and was delivered at Yale Commencement.
The Pennsylvanian visits us at regular intervals and is much appreciation and much enjoyed. Its literary department is excellent and locals and personals good.

*Vagrant.* —Why are you here in the deck?

Vagrant.—Because I couldn't raise one.
Senator Stanford recently said in reference to Stanford University, which he has founded and endowed: "It will be built with a sole regard to the poor; no rich man's son or daughter will want to come there. My University will absorb my wealth and be a monument to the memory of my son. The poor alone will be welcome."
There is some possibility, as it seems, that Johns Hopkins will, in the near future, be removed to Clifton, just outside of Baltimore. This is in accordance with the wish of the founder of the University, who intended it to be established at this place, as it was his home. The inducements offered for its removal is the permanent annual sum of $35,-000, with which to sustain a school of science.
The Messachorean, published by the students of Midland College Atchison, Kansas, appears before us for the first time. It is a very creditable number and if the editors keep up the present standard they should receive praise and credit for their endeavors. The name adodted for the journal reminds us of the Apache or Commanche and a change for the better should be made.

Prof. Loisette's Memory Discov-
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.
Beta Theta Pi.
The Betas gave their first reception of the season last Friday night. Their rooms were beautifully decorated for the occasion and the opening party was a fitting one in every respect. Prof. Buch's orchestra furnished the music for the dancers and this with other amusements made the evening a delightful one to all present. Supper was served at the customary hour at Stater's parlors, after which the company again repaired to the domicile of Wooglin, when soon the proverbial wee small hours had arrived and one of the most enjoyable entertainments ever given in Beta hall was at an end. Those present were: Prof. Carruth and wife, H. S. Tremper and wife, Mrs. Dr. Lippincott, Misses Wilder, Hadley, Pennebaker, Merrill, Ocy and Pearl Phillips, Webster, Palmer, Henshaw, Emma Bartell, Pickering, Chapman, Simpson, McKinnon, Benedict, Freeman, Hair, Littell, Walker, Lippincott, Howland, Morris; Mr. and Mrs. Snepp, Messrs.

"Called Back."
One of the genuine surprises of the week has been the high degree of art displayed in Mr. Grismer's dramatization of called back. His version is an unmistakable improvement upon all other dramatizations he may fancy's moves, available without question, the production by Jos Grismer and Phoebe Davis and the Company, is superior to any previous rendition of the play in this city. *Morning Call*, San Francisco.

Stebbins says that he invoked the aid of all the saints in the calendar to keep from swearing Friday morning, when he found that the Journal man had inadvertently inserted "court room" instead of constitution, after he, Stebbins, had spent four weeks and gone completely through Von Holst, De Tocqueville,the Madison papers and the Federalist in the preparation of a constitutional question.
Some of the members have exhausted their vocabulary of vituperation in heaping wrath upon the COURIER scribe for publishing, two weeks ago, an account of their humble beginnings, and he wishes to make the amende honorable by stating that he considers it a favorable mention, for we are taught that all great men started so, and that in the years to come when the boys have become great and "notorious," and are clothed in the judicial ermine, with a bright new handle to their names and like President Cleveland, are carried over the country in a gilded palace car, and are met at the depot with brass bands and fireworks, and torchlight processions, and are called upon to make political and Fourth of July speeches, then they can point with pride to their lowly beginnings and make the temples of the youths of that day throb with lofty aspirations by telling them how said speakers once made fires, swept out, and emptied spittoons, when pursuing the study of law in Lawrence.

"There is 'consistency' and consistency." Law students pay a tuition fee of twenty-five dollars, while collegiates pay ten. At the beginning of the year some of the laws wished to take a special study under Prof. Canfield, and were much clagrined to find that if they did so they must pay an extra fee of ten dollars, i.e. the regular articulation fee in the University proper. One of the members paid the extra study. It now happened that Prof. Canfield has a class in "law and law tenures", and the senior law class has real estate under Prof. Gleed, Prof. Canfield wishes his class to take the recitations under Prof. Gleed, and had already directed them to enter the class. To this the laws in no way object, and will give to their brother collegiates a most cordial welcome, but they insist that consistency demands that they pay the extra fee of twenty-five dollars.
There was an unusually interesting session of moot court on Wednesday evening. The barristers and attorneys began to arrive early, and at 7:30 were all in their places about the bar. The barristers wore black alpaca gowns standing collars and white ties and each carried a large blue bag, swung carelessly over his shoulder, in which he carried his authorities, court papers, extemporaneous speeches, etc. The attorneys wore no gowns and carried and carried a black bag instead of the blue one. Promptly on time Chief Justice Green entered from the door just back of the bench which leads to his private room. He wore a purple gown, scarlet hood and large white choker. He was closely followed by Justice Summerfield in a black silk gown and powdered wig. As they entered the barristers and attorneys all rose and remained standing respectfully in their places until the Judges had taken their places upon the bench, when they quietly resumed their seats. The first case called was, Rex vs. Pitt which was a whisky case. The prosecution was conducted by barris-
Rice assisted by attorney Edwards, barrister Jacobs with attorney Hobbs at his elbow appeared for the defense. The prosecution introduced as witnesses Messrs. Temperance and Good Citizen, while the defense relied upon the testimony of Messrs. Buncombe, Backbite and Beer Guzzzle. The first question by the defense was objected to by the prosecution as being "regular, irregular, impossible and without immaterial bearing on the case." The objection was overruled to which there was some growling about the "injection" not being sustained. The examination of the witnesses being completed barrister Rice arose with a great deal of trepidation and after deploring his weakness and unworthiness and craving the sufferance of the court, he made a spirited speech in which he quoted, Holy Writ, Shakspeare, Bunyan, Mark Twain and Bro. Gardner indiscriminately. After he had finished barrister Jacobs arose with great dignity—for the attorneys are not allowed to plead in court—and spoke in reply as follows: "It has always been an incoherent principle in my bosom to hold up the hands of oppressed humanity, and I object to these women, preachers and hypocrites interposing what a man can't eat and drink. This man is martyred here by the vituperous conglomerations of this temperance reliance and if you have any bowels of compassion in your soul you will unfetter the mental and moral decrepitude of my client, and your verdict will go thundering down the dark ager as an alabaster foot light to liberty." The judges said as they didn't believe a word that either of the counsel had said, and they were considerably mixed on the evidence, they would take the case under advisement for one week.
Unity Club Excursion.
Unity Club proposes to have an excursion to Kansas City next Saturday, leaving Lawrence in the morning and returning on either the accommodation or the late train Saturday night. They have fixed the rate at the exceedingly low price of $1.50 for the round trip, including admission to the Exposition. The excursion will be under the personal supervision of Mr. Whitman, and it will be the pleasantest way possible to visit the Exposition. It will be almost the last chance to hear Gilmore's famous band, as its engagement closes November 15th. Tickets will be for sale at Gleason & Whitman's, Woodward's drug store and other places, and must be purchased before Friday noon, as the orders for cars has to be sent to Topeka at that time. There will undoubtedly be a large number who will take advantage of this opportunity, and ample arrangements will be made to give comfortable accommodations to all who go.

From the Press of P. T. FOLEY.
Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas as second-class matter.
Mr. C. E. Street has generously taken charge of this week's issue, and to him belongs all the credit. Persons having comments to make should see the gentleman in person.
Lecture Bu: au.
One of the things most needed by the University is a good lecture bureau that will secure lectures of national reputation. True there is a lecture course under the direction of the faculty and regents. This course is good as far as it goes but it does not go far enough.
The lecture course we now have would supply all the needs of the University with the addition of about three such persons as Burdette, Wendling, Lowell, Kate Field, Tourgee, Ridpath, or Helen Gouger. But as we do not have this addition and there is no prospect that we will have soon, it seems as if it was about time for the students to take hold and organize a lecture bureau of their own. Perhaps some conservative ones will say impossible. Let such persons look at the lecture bureau of Baker University. There a lecture bureau is maintained by the students belonging to the literary societies, one of their objects being to make money to support their societies. If the students of Baker can support a lecture bureau and hire such lecturers as above mentioned, with such a small village as Baldwin to draw part of their audience from, surely the students of Kansas State University can support a first class lecture bureau with a city the size of Lawrence to draw part of their audience from, if they would only try.
The best way,in our opinion,to put such a scheme into operation would be to organize a joint stock company and give a board of directors power to secure lecturers and regulate the price of admission.
If such a scheme would be put in to operation the audience would not only be composed of the greater part of four hundred and fifty students, but also of the greater part of the intelligent people of Lawrence. Properly managed there is no reason why five or six of the best lecturers
of the United States could not be secured and the bureau made a paying institution as well as a potent factor in cultivating the literary tastes of the students as well as the people of Lawrence.
Let some one set the ball rolling by calling a meeting cf the students to at least get their opinion on the subject.
Oratorical Association.
The annual election of officers for the Oratorical association has occured. It is the duty of the executive committee now to decide upon the date of the local contest as soon as possible. The persons wishing to enter the contest will then know just how much longer they will have to prepare. The local oratorical contest is the most exciting event of the college year, for the students. Great interest should be taken in the coming contest by the students at large as well as by those intending to enter. Talk it up among your friends and let every one know that K. S. U. has many good orators within her walls, even if not a Prof. of excution. The contest will no doubt be very close and the winner should set himself (probably herself) to work with a determination that K. S. U. shall retain her prestige as a school of orators among the colleges of the state.
Students.
It has been the pride of the authorities and the students of the University of Kansas that they have been represented for the past six years with two papers, one a weekly and the other a literary monthly magazine. These papers have been published and controlled by the students. They have relied on business men of Lawrence for their support and to the business men we must rely on in the future as in the past.
Those business men who advertise in and support the students' periodicals should receive the patronage of the students. Those business men who are willing to generously help the students in every way tending to their good, their standing in the college world and in society should receive the patronage, the support and the good will of the students.
No paper can be properly conducted and not receive the support of the students, faculty of the University and business men of Lawrence. The Courier being a student's paper must of necessity be the best advertising medium; and in advertising the business men should receive a fair exchange.
The Courier also has a circulation among the citizens of Lawrence of five-hundred, more than any other paper published in the Athens of Kansas. It is distributed throughout the surrounding country and throughout the state. It will be seen by the above assertion in which we defy contradiction that the Courier reaching more households than any other paper is the best advertising medium for the business men. They do and will receive the support of the students and of all friends of the University. We would however advise and admonish the students to glance over our advertising columns and help those who help them. Our advertisers are the most reliable business men in Lawrence, men who are "willing to live and let live," and they will always treat the students fairly in all their dealings, and they will always have their good will and support.
A Literary Treat.
A week ago Thursday those who heard Geo. C. Miln in his role of Orthello were doubtless well pleased with the artistic manner in which he placed before the audience the loving but at the same time hot headed and passionate disposition of the Moor. Those who witnessed him Sunday evening in his true character and heard him speak those thoughts and express those feelings which lie nearest his heart, were not only pleased but were doubtless set to thinking of things about which they seldom trouble themselves, but which are at the same time of vital interest to society at large.
In his lecture he depicted the church and stage as twin sisters living through infancy and girlhood under one roof and growing to womanhood with but one aim in view—that of educating and elevating humanity. He then showed how a gradual coldness grew up between them, till each expected from the other what but ill will and evil doing. He cited the audience to the days of Charles Stuart when the church was morally at a very low ebb and the stage was by no means perfect, at this time parliament, under the control of the church, passed a law declaring the play a nuisance and the actor a rogue and ordering all play houses pulled down. This is but one example showing the hatred of the one for the other, he said. The stage is but a mirror, he said, which reflects society as it is. The church, says he, a lofts the opposite method, that of telling society, in solemn tones, that it is totally deprived. He then described the relations of the stage and the church at the present time. He said he noted signs of reunion and that he hoped to see, before many years, the preacher and the actor working shoulder to shoulder, with a friendly rivalry, for the elevation of mankind.
"FLIES."
Misses R——
Cooks flies
For students:
Students rise,
And surprise
Misses R——,
In 'er prudence,
Declaring,
Swearing,
Every one,
They were done,
By their eyes,
Eating flies.
"By the bub!"
A good "Club,"
They would start,
And right here
They'd depart
From our dear
Misses R___
And 'er flies.
Thus it came
That the name
Misses R——
Meant "flies",
And students
Of prupence,
Shun d Lady R——
And 'er flies
She had a boy,
Her pride and joy.
He went to school,
He was no fool.
He wished to be
A member of
A good old Greek
Fraternity.
But by my eyes
He smell'd of "flies,"
And be it weak
Or be it wise,
The rude "frat" men
Didn't "take him in."
As a result
The non-adult
In plety
Lonesome and alone
Has kept his own
Society.
All out of tune,
In the "T—e,"
To ventilate
The hidden hate
That has wrankled in her bosom,
The wrathful dame
Of "flyish fame"
Has jarred the doors of wis om.
Has jarred the doors of wis om.

MAGGIE MITCHELL
"The Pearl of Savoy."
The enduring and substantial favor accorded Maggie Mitchell by the amusement patrons of St. Paul was again manifested last night by the large and good humored audience that assembled at the Grand to witness the beautiful and romantic way, The Pearl of Savoy, did their work. It was certainly most of the other pieces in which she has been seen during the present engagement, inasmuch as it possesses greater coherence as a drama and far more merit by way of plot. The dramatic requirements call for sustained effort, and the interest in the performance never flags. The "P Pearl of Savoy" also affords scope to the display of the best talent possessed by the Company, several of the roles requiring pronounced dramatic ability. In other words, it is not a short course, but rather an earnable, as the opportunity is utilized to great and enjoyable advantage by several artists in the Company.
Miss Mitchell impersonated Marie, a role that called for a display of all her powers of versatility. The play opens with a view of her humble home, where the auditor is informed of the conspiracy to effect her ruin. The transition to decent but still humble and honest competency in Paris and from there to the gay salons of the nobility is rapid. The supposed treachery and upbringing from the light-hearted, trustful girl, radiant with hope and attired in silks and jewels, the auditor beholds Marie as the insane outcast, shrinking from the cruel curse of her father. The play has a happy finale, in which Marie is restored to her reason, virtue is rewarded, and all is merry as a wedding bell.—St. Paul Globe.

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.

Wylde P. Riley died at his home in Paola, Ks., on the morning of November 10th of typhoid fever, after a short illness of only a few days. The above announcement has thrown a feeling of sadness over all of his many friends here, during the past week. Mr. Riley attended the University all of last year and in scholarship ranked among the first in the Freshman class. He again returned at the beginning of this term, to continue his studies but was only here a few days, when he was summoned home by the sudden death of his father. Since that time a brother, sister-ih-law, and two sisters have died of that same dread disease, which has taken the life of one of our best students. It is useless to speak here of the many noble qualities he possessed, which endeared him to his friends. Morally and mentally he was equally strong and had he lived the world would have been better. But death knows no laws, the good and bad, strong and weak, high and low form one common democracy and all sooner or later must answer this final summons. We can only cherish past friendship, extend sympathy to those who mourn and hope for another life, where we may meet again.

From the Press of P. T. FOLEY.
Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas as second class matter.
It is true that those who are thinking of entering the local oratorical contest, should begin preparing their orations. Do not put this off until there is not sufficient time left to do the work properly. Begin now and write your oration, so that you may have plenty of time to retouch it and polish it before you hand it in. Though, thus far this year, there have been fewer inducements than heretofore, for speakers to make efforts, and fewer opportunities for them to practice and to display their abilities and thus give an opportunity to judge of the material in school; it is not reasonable to suppose that there is less oratorical ability present among the student this year than there has been in years gone by. There are surely seven or eight young ladies or young gentlemen here this year who have more or less taste for public speaking. It is almost impossible to believe that there are not among four hundred and fifty college students, and especially K. S. U. students, at least seven or eight who possess the requisite ability to write orations and make an appearance which would do credit not only to themselves, but also to the University. We cannot doubt that good writing and speaking ability exists in abundance within our walls and that, if it can only be called forth and directed by proper effort, it can accomplish good results.
Though the literary societies do not offer the opportunities which they once did, the oratorical association stands as ready and willing as ever to encourage and help all who will try. Undoubtedly the association requires a higher grade of work than the literary societies; but in one direction at least the reward which it offers for that work is greater. Though but six orators can be selected for a contest and but one of these can win; yet the one who is successfull obtains as his reward an honor and an opportunity for winning a higher which none of the literary societies can confer. In oratory the State University has always held an enviable rank among the colleges of the State. Of the four State contests which have been held she has won
so. Shall she not win the third this year and still hold her place at the head of the State association? To do this her students must put forth strenuous efforts. In the first place we must have a good local contest. If a large number of orations are handed in the committee of the faculty will have opportunities for better selection than if they have only a very limited number to select from. This means that the grade of the local contest will be raised and that there will be a tendency to require better work from the man who wins and who is to represent the University in the State contest. This in turn means greater chances of success in the State contest. From this it is easily seen that everyone who has any taste and ability in this line should write an oration and make an effort to obtain a position on the local contest. Let some of the girls try. The opportunities which the association offers are not for the boys alone. The contests are equally open to the girls, and the girls will be gladly welcomed to them. In our sister colleges they have often made successful efforts. Why not here? Lastly, let no one hesitate to hand in an oration on account of fear of defeat. If one draw back from a college contest through fear of being excelled, or disappointed, what will be the case in after life? Will that person meet the sharper and more vital contest with the cold world, with that firmness and confidence which is one great essential of success?
COLLGE CRANKS.
"I'm a crank."
Surely an introduction was never followed up by a more startling confession. I hardly knew which to admire most—the fellow's sense in discerning his weakness or his frankness in avowing it. It is now nearly a fortnight since I first met this remarkable individual. Yet the time has fully demonstrated to me the correctness of his diagnosis. It is precious seldom anyone is so willing to admit his own frailties.
When the mind of a man drifts wholly into one channel, he's a bobbiest. When he's got it worse, he's a fanatic. When it becomes chronic, he's a crank. When it grows virulent, he's a lunatic. However, I am not startling homily on cranks. I only wish to speak of a few specimens peculiar to college life.
Two varieties of cranks infest the University—the fraternity crank and the anti-fraternity crank. I never speak with either that I don't think him worse than the other. These cranks are not numerous, but like certain disagreeable animals not to be mentioned, they have a wonderful faculty of making their presence powerfully known.
The anti-fraternity crank is the product of fermentation. His debu in the University wasn't marked by that display of student enthusiasm that attended certain other Freshmen. While they were being rushed and gushed, dined and wined, roped and soaped, by the various fraternities, no special note is taken of his advent. Chaps with bright and shining shields, or crosses, or diamonds, or
circlets on the lappels of their coats, didn't engage him in jolly conversation, attend him to his classes or take him to their cosy halls. This neglect to observe his brilliant effervescent qualities caused the first stage in the depressing, souring state into which he went. Finally, taking unction in the faith that God boosts those who pitch in on their own hook, he boldly intimates to certain Greek—letter men that if invited he would join their ranks. That settles it! He cannot fail to observe the smiles playing the phizes of the fraternity men whom he afterward meets. He realizes that his "goose is cooked." Henceforth he is a crank. He openly avows that he is utterly, eternally, unreservedly opposed to the damnable principle of secrecy. He becomes morbed. He imagines that every college movement is dictated by this or that chapter. They are all leagued against him. The more he thinks about it, the bitterter waxes his gall. If his essay misses the prize, if his best girl mittens him, or if he be repremanded in the classroom, bless your soul! it's brought about by the machinations of some secret society. They're all in caboodle against him. I heard of a case,'too—many, many years ago—where this malady proved contagious to the family of one of these cranks, and they imagined the faculty was in cahoots with the frats, this mighty cabal being engaged in a boycott against the peace, prosperity and wellfare of the boarding house operated by said family. Still this was so long, long ago that my memory fails to recall particulars.
The fraternity crank is often—not always—a metamorphosis. He was originally an anti-fraternity crank. Having by some freak become attached to a fraternity machine, he still subserves the purposes of a crank to his new gearing. As codfish aristocracy grind its course heel most fiercely on its old neighbors, so the man who after many years in the cold has been taken into warm fraternity quarters, is most arrogant to his former associates. The other fraternity crank is the man whose society is his sole stock in trade. Knowing no personal excellence to back him, he throws himself bodily on its influence. The world revolves around the college and the college around the fraternity. Fraternity is his shop, and shop is all he talks. You speak of some student and he twists up his nose in disdain with the remark that "he's only a 'barb'". He never walks with anyone who don't "wear the pin;" one thing for which the non-society men should be duly grateful. He does his best to build up caste on fraternity lines, and is terribly shocked when the world knocks the pins out from under him after college is over.
Cranks, like fleas, ants and other obnoxious vermins, live and have to be endured. They are persistent, pesky creatures that crawl everywhere and are everywhere annoying You couldn't keep 'em out if you wanted to. And if we believe in the doctrine that nothing was created in vain and that everything subserves some use, I submit that these cranks, like our University ventilating flues, may serve to carry off foul college gasses, only you want to keep away from their muzzle! **SMITH.**
VIEWS.
EDITOR COURIER:—The first part of last week R.E.Rice, before whose name I am informed the title Mrs. may properly be inscribed, made an attack upon the fraternity system of the University through the columns of the evening Tribune. While there are some particles of truth in her article,it is the truth so distorted and exaggerated that it seemed most natural to suppose that among those who were intimately acquainted with University affairs none would be found to uphold and endorse her sentiments. In fact her assertions were for the most part so preposterous that as for my self I supposed no one would give them much credit and so no harm would result to anybody.
But within two days the anti-fraternity element, the commonly denominated "barbs," I use the term merely as a matter of convenience and with the utmost respect, hold a meeting and adopt resolutions fully endorsing Mrs. Rice's article and pledging themselves to purchase copies of the issue of the Tribune in which it appeared and send them to their homes with a view, apparently, to insure its publication throughout the state. If their object is attained this article will be read by large numbers of people who contemplate sending their children to the University; people too, many of whom can know nothing about the influences which are brought to bear upon the student while in the University. Read, as it will be, by these people, holding, as it does, that the fraternity system is at once so important and so injurious a factor of University society; endorsed, as it is, by those who pretend to represent the major portion of the students, it must cause many to hesitate, perhaps to refuse, to send their children to our institution. The action of the "barbs" makes it necessary for some one to say something in reply to what would otherwise have probably been perfectly harmless.
Mrs. Rice opens her article with an attack upon the University professors who are members of the secret fraternities. It is true, it probably always will be true, that a goodly number of the professors are connected with these organizations, but that they have been in any way partial or prejudiced in their treatment of students she is the first to discover. Upon the contrary it has always been recognized by their students that these professors have been as impartial and fair-minded as any could be, and it has been impossible to distinguish between their treatment of members of their fraternity, members of other fraternities and non-fraternity men. It may be true that students have been prohibited from discussing "fraternities" from the chapel rostrum. So it is also true that they have been prohibited from speaking on religious and political subjects. Indeed it was the recognized policy of the faculty to forbid discussions which would tend to hurt or embitter the feelings of any students. If an article on "fraternities" was rejected, the writer can testify that its author fared no worse than many others.
She accuses the fraternities of destroying the literary societies of the University. Here more than any where else there may be some ground for complaint. No one will deny that the fraternities have quarrelled and fought among themselves in the literary societies, but they have never attempted to refuse to any student all the privileges and benefits of these societies. As the fraternities have grown and developed they have been able to do literary work within their own walls and as a result their members have gradually dropped out of the literary societies, thus leaving them to the non-fraternity men in whose hand they have died. It must be evident to anyone, there being no restriction on membership and the number of non-fraternity men as large as it is, that with proper interest on the part of these men the literary societies would still be in a flourishing condition.
The fraternities are said to have almost entire control of the boarding interest. The only way in which this has any application is found in the fact that members of the various fraternities have been in the habit of boarding together in clubs. To any one familiar with these clubs it is needless to say that they are a great saving and convenience. Table board in a private family for a single student costs on an average about $3.50 a week. By the club system this amount has been reduced to $3.00 and even as low as $2.00. It will be hard to demonstrate that such action is "with no reference to any known law of economy or convenience."
She next objects to the fraternities on the ground of expense. Under this head her figures have not even the semblance of fact but wander unrestrained in the field of fancy. When she says that "the least this membership is known to cost is three dollars a month," her statement is preposterous and absurd. In fact I feel safe in saying that in no fraternity are the necessary expenses more than one dollar per month. In support of this statement I have the testimony of various members of all the fraternies. If it be argued that the well-equipped apartments of the fraternity cannot be maintained for so insignificant a sum, it must be remembered that the work of furnishing these apartments has extended through many years and is chiefly the result of the voluntary contributions of alumni members. In view of the comparative records made by fraternity and non-fraternity men, it is sheer nonsense to say that the fraternities are detrimental to good scholarship. The classes of '86 and '87 were both lead by fraternity men. Indications point to a fraternity man as leader of the class of '88. A majority and a large one too of all honors awarded in the University have been won by members of secret societies. These statements cannot be denied or refuted for they are a part of the University history. Their truth shows that her appeal for the protection of the young men against the fraternities "as well as we now try to guard them against the temptations of the open dram shops and licensed gambling dens" is an insult

as unqualified as it is unwarranted. As Mrs. Rice proceeds she becomes more and more infuriated and "waxeth wroth" so to speak. She annihilates the young ladies societies at one swoop and places the faculty in a position, which if correct would make them the laughing stock of any civilized community. To say that an able body of instructors after years of experience is unable to see great and criminal wrongs on account of the toadyism of a few young students is really humorous. I can only say that if anyone believes this they should take immediate steps to secure the removal of such an easily-blinded, guillible and inefficient corps of professors.
So much for Mrs. Rice and her bundle of misleading statements. I do not wish to intimate that she has made them willfully, but a careful examination of the facts and the University records will, I think convince anyone that she has either been misinformed or has tortured a few special cases into general principles.
Now in regard to the endorsement by the "barbs."
In the first place it must be remembered that these are largely made up of new students who know very little about University affairs and are easily persuaded by those of longer attendance that the fraternities are all that the latter choose to paint them. But for the committees who drew up the resolutions no such excuse can be offered. They are young men who have come in frequent contact with the fraternities for several years and are fully cognizant of the facts which I have stated. From however prejudiced a standpoint they may look at this question, it is useless for them to pretend that they can consciently endorse the extravagant assertions of Mrs. Rice. They know that professors who are members of secret societies are as impartial and just as any others; that the fraternities are far from as expensive as they are represented to be; that they do not spoil students; that they are not to be spoken of in the same breath with dram shops and gambling dens; that fraternity men are as manly and as independent as any that ever entered the doors of the University or any institution of learning. And knowing these things and endorsing Mrs. Rice's article they make her mistakes their willful misrepresentations. But they are shut out of society by the arbitrary action of the fraternites! Are these men ignorant of the fact that in all bodies of students, of people generally, there are those to whom society does not open her doors? Are the fraternities to blame because society chooses to elect whom she receives and to whom she "is not at home?"
If it is a fair question, may I ask of one member of the committee when he became convinced of the injurious effects of the fraternities. I hope it has been recently, since the attempt to found a chapter of Delta Tau Delta here, as otherwise his action at that time could scarcely have been in harmony with the course his conscience must have dictated.
I have written this with no desire to enter into a controversy on the subject in fact I have made no attempt to show the many good features of the Greek letter fraternities but merely to disprove the charges laid at their door. My chief motive in writing has been to show that there is no such powerful and pernicious influence at work within the University as the secret societies have been represented to be, believing that the best interests of the University demanded that some one should do so.

The Washburn Reporter, the poor pugnaceous infant in the little institution up the river has raised its ignoble voice again against the Courier Endeavoring to be sarcastical, it so looses control of itself as to be unable to use correctly plain English. After enumerating for the one hundredth time all the little successes and victories of that institution, unmindful of the large contests won by other institutions, it at last makes the rash assertion that a student unable to enter their freshman class was admitted to the sophomore of the University of Kansas. We declare the assertion to be false, but if by false and untrue answers and by misrepresentation said individual did enter the sophomore class the little infant can be assured that the individual remained in the same. We however challenge them to name the person, we want facts, not the imagination of some idle brain.
THE University Reporter, the organ of the two leading literary societies of Georgia University, contains an account of an interesting debate in one of the societies on the question: "Resolved that the coeducation of the races should be prohibited by law in Georgia." It is needless to add that it was decided in the affirmative.
The Washington-Jeffersonian for October is a good number, it contains a big history of Washington and Jefferson college; the inter-collegiate department is well conducted and contains many interesting facts.

In speaking of entertainments it is well to note that there are a great many that are not worthy of patronage, while there are some that cannot but amuse, as well as interest. To the latter class belongs the dime museum now making daily exhibitions in the room formerly occupied by Geo. Hunt as a dry goods store. It is strictly a moral exhibition of industry, art, science and rational amusement; a national kindergarten and wonderland. The performances are especially interesting to ladies, and there is nothing connected with the entire exhibition but that which is strictly morally and first-class. The Punch and Judy, for the little folks on Saturday, will be one of the interesting features. School children under twelve years of age will be admitted on Saturday afternoon for 5 cents. Museum open from 1 P.M. to 10 P.M. Ladies can attend without escort.

A thoroughly unique entertainment is that of Thomas Nast, the Cartoonist, who will appear in Lawrence to-morrow evening.
Saturday, November 19th,
The artist talks pleasantly upon the general subject of "Humor," and illustrates his meaning by rapid sketches in chalk or charcoal and oil colors made while the audience is watching him, without interrupting his discourse. He makes pictures of prominent people—himself included—and tells how many familiar caricatures are involved, as, for instance, the famous representation of "Boss" Tweed, with a bag of gold for a head.

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.

The returned thesis of the Freshman and Sophomore classes are deplorable to behold. There is a consolation however to the lower classmen, that many of the corrections made, are as useless as a fifth wheel to a wagon and a few of them as correct, as two times two makes five. The punctuation in all the thesis is miserable but even our catalogue had to be corrected entirely in punctuation at Topeka so. Freshmen don't repine.
For three years no addition has been made to the collection of Kansas birds. Two or three weeks ago a negro hunting on the river killed a bird he had never seen before and he took it to Prof. Snow to ascertain what it was, the Prof. told him it was a very rare bird, whos home was the Pacific coast. The negro gave it to the Prof. and he has mounted it for his collection. The common name of the bird is the Western Grabe and it is the first specimen known to be captured this side of Utah.
Last Friday being a cold day the society met in the chapel. An interesting program was given in which the current event essay was an important feature. The subject chosen was "The Late Elections and their Result" and the reading of the essay was followed by short discussion by the members. The society was favored with music by E. C. Franklin and Miss Franklin. The following officers were elected for the ensuing term: President, E. Sharum; vicepresident, J. B. Stout; secretary,
Miss Gertrude Hunnicutt; critic, Miss Rosa McMurray. An effort is being made, by the society, to secure the privilege of holding night sessions in its hall. In view of this a petition is being circulated among the students for their signature and it will be presented to the board of regents at their next meeting.
Prof. Dyche is engaged in mounting one of the buffalos, for the museum, which was killed a year ago by a party from Smithsonian Institute, of which W. H. Brown was a member. The specimen is one of the largest that was killed. The modern system of mounting animals is very unique, no part of the buffalo is used except the hide. A frame the exact size and shape of the body is made, over which the hide is sewed. This really gives two specimens from one animal, the skeleton and the mounted animal itself.
Prof. Wilcox has secured for the use of the students in the Greek department some of the rarest and most valuable volumes on Ancient Grecian archetecture, sculpture, ect. Among the volumes recently recieved were a complete set, consisting of fifty-five permanent photographs, of all the marbles of the Parthenon in the British Museum. Strart and Revell's Antiquities of Athens, consisting of five folio volumes published in 1770 which is one of the very few complete sets in America. A large folio volume of Cockerell's Temples. A restoration of the Parthenone in colors, a most beautiful and instructive book. A complete set of pictures showing the development of art in all branches among the Ancients. Forty colored vases in color by H. Genick. Eight beautiful, and artistic plates representing the colors in Greek architecture and sculpture. These plates are very large and beatiful. A copy of the acropolis of Athens by Beule, purchased by Prof. Wilcox happened to be the same identical volume which the author had presented to M. Dumont. On the cover may be seen the signature of the author and his compliments to the recipient. Prof. Wilcox has secured these volumes with a great deal of trouble and considerable expense and is building up a Greek department which will be complete in all its departments and of which the University may well be proud.

EARLE L. SWOPE. | WILL, A. JACKSON,
From the Press of P. T. FOLEY.
Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas,
as second-class matter.
The question is frequently asked What becomes of our Valedictorians and, the men who are among the leaders of their class in scholarship Does the high stand they take in their class mean a low position in life? Yet the idea prevails that our great men, men of reputation in literature, politics and art have been indolent scholars and dull to the extreme in their classes. "To be a first scholar is to many minds equivalent to passing after five years of midnight study into the oblivion of a country parsonage. That valedictorians are never heard of after leaving college is the sop which the friends of every dullard are wont to fling at his disappointed ambition." That the majority of the politicians of the past twenty-five years have been men of only medium standing during their college course, is a fact. Yet from a writer who has made a specialty of collecting facts concerning this question, we obtain the some statements which will throw some light on the subject. Of the graduates of Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and Williams the men who have made any mark in the world have ranked in the first quarter of the class to which each belonged. Of the men of letters and professors, we find that ex-President Woolsley, of Yale, received highest honors in 1820. Elliot, of Harvard was among the first in his class and Porter was third in the class of 1831. Prof. Bowen, Goodwin, Loomis, Dana, Hackett and Young were either first and never lower than third in their respective classes. Baneroft was a high scholar in Harvard. J. Lothrop Motley, Palfrey, Edward Everett were first in their classes and stood high in all their specialties. Longfellow and Emerson although not high in standing nevertheless held an honorable position in rank. Phillip Books was a high scholar of Harvard's class of 1755. O. B. Frothingham was the salutatorian of his class. Dr. R. S. Storrs and Dr. Huntington both well in their classes. Henry Ward Beecher was undoubtedly the most distinguished graduate of Amherst college, but his college rank is the lowest of any who have become
celebrated, in fact his per centage for his whole course was only fifty-eight. The great lawyers have won distinction in college for scholarship. Rufus Chate is one of the threemen, who in the coarse of a hundred years, have graduated from Dartmouth with with a perfect rank. Webster, Calhoun, Senator Evarts, Dana, Chase, Cushing, and Chas. Summer all gave evidence of strength and progress in the recitation and lecture room and were graduated near the head of their respective classes. In view of these facts we can only agree with Macauley who said, "That men who distinguish themselves in their youth above their contemporaries always keep to the ends of their lives the start which they gained.
There has been for some time two parties in England contending for supremacy, authority and rule in the two old Universities which have been for so long, the idle of English people of culture, refinement and education. The one, the Tory element, with conservatism as its standard, the bane of all progressive ideas and the great impediment to the natural course of human thought and action which is quickened by the progress made by society in all pursuits and vocations of mankind. The other element, are those people who belong to the progressive school of English thought, who desire to introduce liberal ideas in politics, religion and life and to keep pase with society in all its progress. The Tory, the conservative element prevails, and Oxford has not been influenced by the social changes of medival and modern history. For six centuries she has made but little change in its curriculum and still retains its original organization and ancient characteristics. If this system should prevail or rather had prevailed in our country while our schools and colleges were in an embryonic state, our educational system, the pride of all true American would have been a stunted tree of knowledge, whose various branches had been frozen and its blossoms nipped in the bud by that barrier to all progress which men call conservatism.
A BAND FOR K. S. U.
There is some very fine musical talent in the band line among the students and all it requires, is for some one to take the lead in order to organize a first class band.
It has been suggested several times that the organization of a college band would not only create more college spirit but also give K. S.U.a nigher rank in the musical circles of the state.
There are at least twenty persons in school who have played in bands at their homes. The majority of these persons have their instruments with them and the others could no doubt obtain theirs by sending for them. One of the Profs. in the musical department would no doubt assume the directorship if he was assured that the boys would go into the thing with the determination to make a first class band.
There are many college entertainments during the year that the music of a good band would enliven and make more enjoyable.
During commencement week a good band is in great demand and what little of such music the University does have, comes from abroad and exorbant prices have to be paid. By having a college band we could have more music with but small cost. Then each year when K. S. U. sends a great delegation to the State Oratorical contest a band would be very disirable. It would not only give K. S. U. a reputation for enterprise among the colleges of the state but it would be very entertaining.
We would suggest that some one take up on himself the responsibility of posting a notice on the bulletin board calling a meeting of all students interested in such a movement. No doubt the result of such a meeting would be the organization of a band of which K. S. U. would be proud.
Retrospect.
"A college is a little world in itself." So we often are told while in school and after we leave it. Yes a little world like its namesake in some things, very unlike it in others. A very pleasant world to—much more so that some are willing to acknowledge who are in it. I think some of the old boys down at Lawrence would be lost out of it. I don't believe Ed. Franklin would feel quite happy if taken away from his acid bottles; or that Will Brown would be the same old Brown if he had to quit telling bear and buffalo yarns and be tied down to a desk somewheres. A number of boys in the University get there and stay there too, so long that it seems a part of their being. Happy fellows those. The far larger part however, of the students are those who come, stay a while, then pass out of sight. In a few year all their old friends are gone and if they do come back at all, it is only to drift in on an old professor, who chats a few moments and then forgets that such a fellow as Jones or Brown or Smith lived. The other day I got to thinking of old college experiences, and the boys I had met, and what an army of faces came up to my mind. Men who had come and gone, and had their places filled by others. I think my recollectioas of prep. years are the most inefacable. How well I can remember the seniors, and in fact all upper classmen. Those fellows wont be forgotten nearly as soon as some of the ones I was even more intimately associated with later in my course. Some of Oread societies old companions stand before me as though they were present. P. C. Young, the long legged, awkward, eloquent Young, whose thought ran so fast that even his voluble tongue could not wag fast enough, and who as a consequence had to have recourse to his long arms to help him express himself. Meservey, with glasses and hair which never would lie down. Twichell the irrepressible, fun loving happy Twitchell and hosts of others. I thought over the old times, took a look at each picture in the photograph gallery indelibly impressed on my mind, and I wondered where the boys all are, what they are doing. I remember how I looked to a certain freshman who condescended to honor the junior prep. Latin class,
when I was one of that verdant herd. All the class looked on him as the "big man." He is now Hon. F. A. Stocks, mayor of Blue Rapids. Another number of the same class was S.R. Wharton, one of the brightest young fellows in Kansas, a man who will always do credit to K. S. U. A few of the old friends are, like Stocks and Wharton well known, many alas! have taken their six feet of sod in "Gods acre," others are wandering, where? K. S. U. has her sons scattered far and wide; three I know of in Oregon holding lucrative positions in railroads. Some in California, some in the great southwest. Wherever they are I have yet to hear of the first one who has disgraced old alma mater. They come from the farms and villages—many of them green and awkward at first, but somehow they are all filling their places in the world full as well as if they came from an aristocratic eastern home, with Harvard culture to aid them. They do not fill any lower place than Harvard or Yale graduates either. To those who are in the college work now I would say, make the most of it. When you get out and begin to drift around the great world you will find how enjoyable a time it was. You will find that college friendships are pleasanter and closer, that college experiences are happier than any you will afterwards experience.

VIEWS.
We have heard a great amount of "kicking" by the students against the faculty for many supposed wrong which we have been compelled to submit to. I wish to say just a word in reference to a very grevious wrong that the law students have been compelled to suffer, and I have heard that students of other departments have met with the same difficulty. I wish to speak of our exclusion from the University library. This subject has been spoken of before, but it has been handled very timidly. Great was my chagrin, when a few days ago I desired to look up a point of law and applied for admission to the alcoves of the library, and the librarian asked where I belonged. I answered, "to the senior law class," The answer I received was something similar to the supposed answer that St. Peter gives to the unjust, "You cannot enter here." The librarian said in substance that the law students were not admissable to the library. It flashed through my mind in an instant that perhaps we had no business there that perhaps the law department was seperate and distinct from the University, and that we were allowed the use of one room, half of the day, only through the good nature of our worthy chancellor, and that really we were not entitled to any rights or recognition as a department of the University. I will address the following pertinent queries to the faculty in regard to this matter; if there a law department in connection with the University? or do you consider it a non-entity? Why do you misrepresent this matter in your catalogue? I notice on page 74 under the head "Department of Law" the following language, "with access
to the laboratories, library, etc." Also in speaking of the library on page 100, I find the following, "for the use of all officers and students of the University." Now if you don't admit us to the library, these are certainly grossly false representations, and should be stricken from the catalogue. When the great state of Kansas has to resort to falseboobs in order to have students attend her University it is time for her to "throw up the sponge." I understand that there are a large number of books in the library that properly belong to the law department, and are of no use to any other. I have not seen these books myself as I have not been permitted to enter the library. When Prof. J. W. Green found that we would not be allowed access to the law books contained in the library, he begged permission to place them in the law library so his "boys" could have the benefit of their use, but even this humble request was refused. It is a well known fact that the State University Library contains a fine collection of about 10,000 volumes of the choicest works, and the thought of having access to such a valuable collection in connection with their studies is no doubt quite an inducement to many students to attend this University, in preference to some others. Perhaps you are jealous of the law department and desire to "squeeze" it out, at least it seems so. I suppose that the next requirement that will be made of us is that we shall recite in some obscure corner of the basement, as we might otherwise contaminate the presence of the University, and get in someones way. Were it not for the many friends that our beloved dean, and Profs. Summerfield and Gleed, have all over the country, I am inclined to think that the twenty-five dollar matriculation fees of the law department would not roll in so fast as they do at present. It is certainly not due to the kind and courteous treatment that we receive at the hands of the other members of the faculty. Some of the students have access to the library. Can it be possible that the faculty have a few "pets," and they alone will be permitted to derive benefit from these books? If so, this state of affairs is to be greatly regretted, and it is only hoped that at the next session of the legislature, the department will be removed to Topeka, where I am quite certain we would be accorded access to the state library, which is much better than that at the Uni-

Prof. Loisette's Memory Di cov ev
Prof. Loisette's new system of mem ry 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 Pean., etc. Such patronage and the endorsement of such men as Mark Twain, Dr. Buckley, Prof. Wn R. Harper, of Yale, etc., place the claim of Prof. Loisette upon the highest ground.
