On to Baldwin. Our man must win. Remember just a week from tonight is the state contest. The guides have been kept very busy during the past week. The Italian skies are still with us. January, indeed, went out as a lamb. Rawk-Chalk-Jay-Hawk-K-U, is Kansas State University's slogoy. The ice has broken and the preps. will have to find some other way of amusing themselves on Saturdays than by skating. Prof. Marvin was seen carrying the large University grade book up stairs the other day. We wonder what will be the outcome. The "Kentucky toughs" boarding club has clanged its base of supplies and is now located on Vermont street opposite the Lawrence House. A few of our students learned last Friday night that this month contains twenty-nine days, or in other words, that it is leap year. Every one should attend the oratorical contest at Baldwin, one week from to-night- A good delegation from the University will encourage our orator. Some of the Freshmen are experiencing considerable difficulty in arranging their studies so as to make up back work this term. The class in constitutional and political history has run about out of general histories. Hereafter they will have to generalize for themselves from the special topics presented in recitation. Professor Canfield has announced to the class in constitutional history that they can now obtain pictures of themselves of Mr. French. The students in the west side of the inner library are highly and pleasantly entertained of afternoons, by the eloquent appeals and harangues which the laws are making in the adjoining room. The new Santa Fe bridge over the Missouri at Sibley, upon which some of K. S. U's. old students have been working, has been built in a shorter time than any other bridge over the same river. Judge Foster, of the United States District Court of Topeka, Hon. J. R. Burton, of Abilene, and Col. Mann, of Kansas City Journal, have consented to act as judges at the Annual Contest at Baldwin City, February 10. Baker University, College of Emporia, State Normal School, University of Kansas, Washburn College and Ottawa University compose the institutions in the organization of the Kansas State Inter-Collegiate Association. Dr. J. H. Long, formerly a student of the Chemical Department of K. S. U., now Chemist to the Illinois State Board of Health, at Chicago, publishes in the current number of the American Chemical Journal a thoroughly scientific and exhaustive paper on the "Oxidation of Sewage." It takes quite a while for the students to get hold of all the details of the new regime. They are just beginning to find out that it will be necessary for them to have their studies registered in their grade books when they enter new classes. Prof. Marsh's new optional in advanced English composition is going to be a stunner. The students who enter it will have to work. They will be expected to get out a nice little thesis of one thousand or fifteen hundred words every fortnight. All students wishing to obtain reserved seates at Baldwin for the contest must apply to J. A. Mushrush by Monday noon. Seats will be in demand at Baldwin next Friday, and unless those who go have them reserved, they will very likely have difficulty in obtaining them there. Opera Gypsy Baron to-night. This company played a full week at the Gillis, Kansas City. Our people who heard the opera pronounce it first-class. The troupe is one of the largest and best traveling and is the same company that plays Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati. The COURIER ever wishing to forward the interests of our beloved institution, would call the attention of our next legislature to the fact that we badly need an extra appropriation of ten or fifteen cents to buy a board or two to place over the mud hole between the main building and Snow Hall and the Chemistry building. Prof. Blake is having a set of electrical gauges put in in connection with the water tanks in the roofs of the several buildings. Connections will be made with the tanks in the main building, the chemistry building, and Snow Hall. The arrangement will, by ringing a set of bells, in the private room, and also a set at the engine house, enable the superintendent to know at the moment, when the water in any one of the tanks reaches a certain high level or falls to a certain low level. One of the best programs rendered by Athenaeum Society was that given last Friday afternoon. The oration by Mr. Brown excited favorable comment. The current event, essay, by Mr. Sarhum, was well prepared and was thoroughly discussed. Although the debate was upon the time-worn subject of woman suffrage, it was handled in a very able and interesting manner by Miss Hunnicutt and Miss Gregg upon on the affirmative, and by Messrs Athenaeum. Riggs and Wixon upon the negative. Of course it was decided in favor of the women. During the afternoon Prof. MacDonald favored the society with music. We also noticed that Prof. Carruth was present, acting as one of the judges of the debate. The society accepted the offer of a night during Commencement week, made by the Faculty, and chose June 2 as the most desirable. Athenaeum is steadily growing, and anyone desiring society work can do no better than to join. But all members are expected to work; no drones allowed. A magnificent collation was served at a resonable hour. A number of guests were present from abroad and upon every hand was heard the warmest expression of gratitude toward the Theta girls and a fervent wish for their continued prosperity. Fraternity Reception. The Kappa Alpha Theta reception given at the elegant residence of Miss May Webster last Friday evening was one of the social events of the season and coming as it did at the close of examination week, it served as a disperser of dull care of the unfortunate ones, while they were wavering between hope and fear regarding their examinations. By 9 o'clock the spacious parlors were filled by their invited guests and enjoyment of the evening commenced its course, consisting of dancing and card playing while Miss Joe Hutchings joined the entertainment of the evening with a few choice selections much to the pleasure and delight of the guests. SAM SMALL To the Editor of The Courier: SAM SMALL. Rev. Sam. W. Small delivered his lecture entitled "From the Bar-room to the Pulpit," to a large audience in Plymouth Church one week ago last night. In personal appearance, Sam Small is tall, slim, dark complected, dark moustache, dark hair and eyes, and wears glasses. His manner and accent are Southern. He has a sort of impulsive, earnest delivery, and enlives and illustrates his remarks with numerous jokes and stories. In his lecture he related how he had been reared in a Christian family, under Christian influences, how he had been sent to college and then thrown among associates whose life of gayety and frivolity had created a desire for like pleasures; how he had learned to drink in order to appear at the head in social life; and how, despite the entreaties of friends, the earnest persuasion of his wife and his own determination, he was held down by this curse for seventeen years. He stood high in social and political circles. He was appointed on a foreign mission. He held a high position among the United States Senators. But strong drink drove him from all these offices and incapacitated him for the common every-day duties of his profession. He finally visited a revival which Sam Jones was holding, and was converted. He sought and received forgiveness at his own home, and that very night preached in the public square. He who had been drunk for three days before, was generally disbelieved; but he had persevered and intended to persevere. People called him a crank, but he gloried in the name, believing that cranks are necessary to the movement of the temperance machinery. He severely arraigned both political parties for dodging the issue, said that he believed prohibition would be the main question in five years' time, and paid St. John a high tribute of praise. Mr. Small does not believe in treating the whiskey seller, the destroyer of homes and happiness, with any mercy. He believes in stamping out the evil, root and branch, and thinks the violator of the law should pay a heavy penalty. He does not believe in local option or high license. Mr. Small held the closest attention of his audience, and was frequently interrupted with applause. At one moment his hearers would be in tears as he related the sorrows of a drunkard's home; at the next moment they would be laughing at some ludicrous remark, or some story. Altogether Sam Small was a success, and my opinion, formed upon newspaper accounts, was very favorably changed. M. Hobbs and Hall, Junior Laws, have entered Prof. Canfield's class of Constitution and Political History. The boarders at Mrs. Mushrush's mourn the departure of two of their number at the opening of the term. E. S. Smith, who has been attending the Business College in this city, has entered the University. It is said that Scott Hopkin's paper before the Kansas Bar association was one of the very best rendered at the last meeting. Miss Gus Green pleasantly entertained a number of friends Wednesday evening in honor of Miss Lola Green, of London, Canada. The Handel and Haydn society at its concert next Tuesday evening will sing Parker's Redemption Hymn, Gounod's Gallis, and other fine choruses. There will also be solos, by Miss Georgia Brown, Miss Neil, of Topeka, and by Mr. Hennemann, the first violinist of the Gade quartette, of Kansas City. The last is a member of the Royal Danish orchestra, of Copenhagen, now on leave of absence, and is universally acknowledged to be very fine musician. Personal. Dick Bundrem has gone home. Nellie Palmer has been seriously ill. Will O'Byron spent Saturday in Lawrence. Charlie Chanute has left the University. Miss Kate Wilder was seen in the hall yesterday. Miss Alice Bartell is visiting her sisters this week. D. H. Platt, of Washburn, spent last Sunday in Lawrence. Dickerson, Law,'87, is visiting his Phi Delt brothers. Helen Sutliff will go to Topeka to visit friends on Friday. O. M. Jackson was in Lawrence last Saturday. Fannie Pickering is enjoying a visit from her sister. Mr. Challis has been very sick for several days. Jack Schall has accepted a position in Michigan. Mushrush came back from a home visit Monday. Y. M. White, an old student, has been very sick. Caldwell is greatly interested in the new telegraph line. Mr. Curry, our efficient clerk went o'Toneka last Saturday. Mrs. Schall entertained the Phj Delts last Friday. Nettie Brown has been heard from and wishes she was back in K. S. U. Laura O'Bryon has been spending the past week in Lawrence. Miss Lyle Hynes left Thursday for Texas, to be gone a week. Miss Lillie Mellin, of Garnett, enters the University this term. Misses Anna Chalfant and Callie Melvin have entered school. Mrs. Nettie Hubbard Boles,'85, is enjoying life in an abode in Mexico. Edith Manley, a University student of several years ago, has returned. Shellabarger went home last week after he had finished his examinations. President Gobin, of Baker University, lectured in the city Tuesday night. Miss Clara Mansfield has returned to her home in Abilene on account of her parent's sickness. Miss Anna Barker has returned from Independence, where she has been attending school. Daisy Howard will not complete her course in Pharmacy on account of the illness of her mother. Robt. Rutledge, a member of the class of '90, has left the University and does not expect to return for one year. Mr. Rutledge was a thorough student, and the Sophomore class loses one of its best men.

LOVE, GERTR FREEMAN, LILLIDI FREEMAN, GERTR FD HUNNICUTI BUSINESS MANAGERS: EARLE L. SWOFE. [WILL A. JACKSON.] From the Press of P. T. FOLEY. Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas as second-class matter. In the last week's issue we made the statement that "an entire week of six whole days had been wasted in finding out what the student knew. Nothing had been taught and nothing learned." We have changed our minds now, and beg leave to take it back, especially the last sentence of it. We have come to the conclusion that several good sound lessons have been taught, and hence necessarily several good sound lessons learned. It has been indisputably demonstrated, and the truth emphatically pressed home upon the minds of the students, that a man must get his lessons every day if he expects to prosper in Kansas State University. We have become thoroughly convinced that "grade one" is to mean hard work and good scholarship hereafter, and that "grade four" in two studies means a protracted visit at home. We have learned that half of what we, in our own conceit, thought we had thoroughly mastered, we didn't know anything about. By the examinations we have thus been brought to a proper sense of humility, a more just estimate of ourselves. This is not all we have learned; but to truly realize even this much is certainly worth six full days of hard labor to any student. It has been said that the advantage of "cramming" which the examination system extends, gives to students who have neglected their daily recitations an opportunity to get as good grades for their four hours work as other students can get for the hard and faithful labor of a whole term. This statement certainly bears indications of truth upon its face; but when we look a little deeper and take a few well-known facts into consideration, it becomes evident that it needs some modification. For instance, in most departments the class grade is fully as important a factor in the final result as the examination grade. In some departments we have reason to believe that it has much more influence than the examination grade. This fact is in itself sufficient to render it impossible for a person by "cramming" to obtain as high a rank as the faithful student. But this is not all. The questions which have been asked in the last examination have, as a general rule, been such as a mere superficial knowledge of a subject, obtained by stuffing the brain for a few days prior to the final test, can not satisfy. They were such questions as required a thorough general knowledge of the subject, a knowledge which had been made a part of one's self. One plain lesson, at least, may be drawn from the examinations, and that is, that "cramming" will not count hereafter, but only hard and earnest work upon every lesson as it comes. It might be well for the Preps. to bear this in mind. THE PROTECTIVE IDEA. A Lawrence correspondent of the Kansas City Times denies that Professor Canfield of the State University, uses his position to disseminate the "pernicious doctrines of free trade." If the professor does not teach free trade, he must teach "protection"; or, he gives instruction in a sort of mongrel or hybrid theory of national finances? The general impression is that Professor Canfield is a free trader, and that he teaches that doctrine, if not as a partisan doctrine, certainly as his idea of correct political economy. If he does not so teach we are glad to know it. Atchison Champion. The Monitor is quite as radically in favor of "protection" as the Champion, but we desire to be fair, and hence point out to our contemporary a fact or truth it seems to have overlooked. Free trade and protection are relative terms descriptive of certain theories in political economy. The history and results of neither comprehend all of the science of political economy. The study of political economy, however, includes both systems and a great deal more, and in order to form accurate and comprehensive opinions of the merits of the protective system, a complete knowledge of the theories of free trade are essential and vice versa. The question, therefore, arises, does Professor Canfield teach the history and science of political economy in its broad and comprehensive sense? If he does, the protective idea is amply able to take care of itself—Ft. Scott Monitor. The above clipping from the Ft. Scott Monitor of January 26th, is a fair specimen of the orital effusions of a numerous class of Kansas editors, upon subjects which they know nothing about. Evidently the ideas of the present editor of the Atchison Champion as to the principles which Political Economy teaches are as narrow and contracted as his knowledge of them is limited. It is clear that he thinks that Political Economy is strictly devoted to the application of the theories of "protection" and of freedom of competition, to the American tariff system; and that a professor of the science must teach either one theory or the other. That the study of Political Economy includes an investigation of the theories mentioned is true; but that the editor should think that it is entirely devoted to them, only goes to show how much there is in the science about which he does not know. It might be well for him to read a text book or two on the subject and find out his ignorance. The Monitor seems to take a fairer and more intelligent view of the matter. To its question there is but one correct answer and that is; that Professor Canfield teaches the science of Political Economy as broadly and comprehensively as is possible. He clearly and accurately sets forth the established facts and principles, and leaves the student to draw his own conclusions and form his own opinions. And, when the Emporia Republican, or any other misinformed and deluded sheet, charges Professor Canfield with using his official position to disseminate partisan doctrines, we feel called upon to arise and declare that accusation utterly and unconditionally false. A very interesting article appeared in the February number of the Atlantic Mouthly on the Roman pronunciation of Latin. This is the system according to which Latin is at present pronounced in most American colleges. As to its merits it is somewhat difficult to judge; but it seems to continue to grow in favor to the exclusion of the old English pronunciation which was in vogue some years ago. The writer of the article mentioned is apparently an elderly gentlemen who was brought up in the old school, for he favors the old pronunciation and takes exception to the new, which he considers ridiculous and boyish in the extreme. He argues that, as far as actual authority is concerned, one rests upon no better foundation than the other; that neither can claim to be the true Roman pronunciation, because the advocates of neither ever heard the Romans speak; that a large portion of English words are derived from the Latin, and that as far as possible such words should be spoken in English as they were in Latin. Then if the Roman system be the correct one why not carry it out in the pronunciation of Latin-English words? To show the effect of pronouncing the "Inglish langwag" according to the Roman system, he asks that the reader read aloud the following paragraph, taking care to pronounce all "gs" with "tenatic" hardness: "An ekkentrik gentleman innocently exerkising keremonious kiwiliity and wigilant solikitude in kelebrating his akkession to easy kirkumstankes after warious wikissitudes, the kensorious akerbity of the wikinity exkruliated him by the general and inkessant, ungenerous and unwerakious wokiferations that his inwinkableiwikiew prokeeded from kerebralinkapakity. Wikions elderly wirgins of the prekinkt, especially prepitimately prewented his geniality in the reekation of his fellow kitizens into a takit ewidenke of mental hallukination and degeneration, nekessitating a yudikious vegetable regimen, if not medicinal agents and inkkeration." Has anyone considered carefully Prof. Canfield's scheme for magazine reading? This is matter to which it will pay every student to give some careful attention. The Professor does not intend to introduce his plan unless the students signify their assent, and are willing to take hold and carry it through with vigor. The scheme which he offers we cannot but regard as a good one. It will make it possible, even necessary, for those in his department to read a large amount of valuable current literature which they could in no other way find time to read. But this is not all. Every one would get the benefit, not only of his own reading, but also of all research of every other one. A student can thus get in a few hours the substance in a compact and convenient form of what it would take him days to read by himself. THE "EXAM" FIEND AGAIN. To the Editor of The Courier: There appeared in last week's COURIER a number of reckless statements about examination. Suppose some of them be examined to see what they are made of. Second, "M." asserts, indirectly, that the Faculty of K. S. U. are prone to give "catch" questions. Third, nothing is learned during examination week; therefore, the week is wasted. First, the average student is now convinced of the foolishness of examination. Fourth, "M." says that "it seems" that the poor student that "crams" for "exams," has the advantage over the faithful student. Fifth, the "exam." is of more importance than the student's class record. Lastly, the broad assertion that all these are abuses and evils. But think a minute, "M." Are these "facts" true? It may be true that the "average" student is convinced of the foolishness of "exams." but the "exams" are also convinced of the foolishness of the "average" student. Probably this is the reason why the "average" student "kicks" against "exams." More news! Did you ever know a professor to make a list of questions to "down" a student? No, it is to the interest of the Faculty to pass as many as possible; but they wish those who pass not only to know something, but also to be able to tell what they know, therefore the questions. Is anything learned during exam week? The poor student surely learns something; the good student spends his spare time in reading, in outside work,—in "storing away useful knowledge," but the "average" student, oh! where is he? "Seems, madame, way 'it seems.'" It may "seem" so to you, but it does not "seem" to me that the profession of cramming for examination is a very profitable one. Again, any Prof. will tell you that the class grade and "exam." grade are both considered equally, so that objection falls flat. What is there so bad in examination? Nothing, except to some who fear it, and to some who affect to despise it. If we could have more "exam," instead of less it would be better for us. That the Faculty may never become so tender of the young plants of K. S. U. as to abolish fair and thorough examinations, is the prayer of YOUR UNCLE BOAZ. VIEWS. To the Editor of The Courier: OREAD has gone the way of the world, and now the members of Orophilian are engaged in a bitter discussion as to the proper manner of chanting the requiem over the remains of their once proud and glorious society. Some are for selling the effects and giving the corpse a decent burial; some are for mortgageing the poor thing even in its grave; while others desire to leave what the society has to any literary society which shall establish itself in the University. This latter view will surely be considered by every one as the broader-minded and more sensible. The furniture and belongings of a literary society are purchased for the use of a literary society, by students who have an interest in such work. These students pay their share in the expenses of the society, pass through college and out into the world, leaving their interest as an inheritance for future students. And it seems to many that, for a few students to attempt to sell this property and pocket the money, would be an injustice and an outrage. It would certainly be a wiser policy for the present members either to revive Orophilian or leave their property to some other literary society, than to sacrifice it at public sale in order to realize a few paltry dollars themselves. While we grant that the society has the right to dispose of its property as it pleases, yet we hope and believe that it has enough of the old pride left not to scatter its effects, and that it has enough regard for the future of literary work in the University to see that this property comes into the hands of some society which will use it for the purpose for which it was intended. In any event, the society will do well to make some disposal of the property, for fear that the "powers that be" may confiscate it for the use of the University, as they did the property of Oread, much to their shame. M. Prof. Max. Muller, of Leipsic University, has forty-two titles and honorary suffixes to his name. Geo. Pefen, the baseballist, will enter Middlebury college the first of January, having been offered his tuition and the gate receipts of baseball games if he will enter the college and instruct the nine. —Ex. 6 Best 7 O WV Amh from a which spec Chau article of Han The is in de The bred and winter : A sta made 1 It is the John don, End of 820, interest Univers Amho prizes a over la $180,000 The large n at Moso of that sacks w riot, am arrestin it is sa expelle.

The daily papers report that a large number of University students at Moscow attacked the authorities of that place recently. The Cossacks were called to suppress the riot, and charged upon the students, arresting over a hundred of them. It is said that those arrested will be expelled from the University.

The students of Milan are arranging to present Mr. Gladstone with an address and a memorial tribute consisting of a collossal album containing the autographs of thousands of students throughout Italy. Miss Helen Shafer has been elected president of Wellesley College, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the marriage of Alice E. Freeman. Miss Shafer is a graduate of Oberlin and has been for several years Professor of Mathematics at Wellesley. President Bartlett, of Dartmouth, says that he never knew a Dart- mouth student who spent over $1.- 500 per annum.—Ex. Mr. Gladstone is expected to visit America in April.

Cornell is prohibited by law from holding an endowment of more than $3,000,000. When the wife of Prof. Fiske made her bequest of $1,500,-000,the university became richer than the law provided,and the entire bequest has been lost by a recent decision of the courts. Two-thirds of the Dartmoutt students work their way through college. A few years ago a certain student's principal source of income was to find sawing wood. At present the same man draws a salary of $5,000 a year as a civil engineer. ONE LANGUAGE AND ONE SPEECH This is the only great country which has but one language. In England, the Yorkshiremen cannot talk with the man from Cornwall. The peasant of the Ligurian Apennines drives his goats home at evening over hills that look down on six provinces, neither of whose dialects he can speak or comprehend. The European railways take the traveler where he hears a score of dialects in a single day. While here, from the forests of Maine to the glowing savannahs of the Great Gulf, and far to the Pacific coast, there are a hundred races, but there is only one language. To Noah Webster, more than to any or all other causes, this nation owes its unity of language. Ex. Subscribe for the Courier. THE LAWRENCE HOUSE!

Prof. Dyche and assistant are now mounting the buffalo cow. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 10, 1888. Cone was willing to bet "it" would not in the Courier. One of our worthy Seniors is ready to give lessons in pugilism. Let the people of Baldwin know that we have not forgotten our "yell." Miss May Webster paid a visit to Workshops. the University Wednesday morning. Quite a delegation of Ottawa students will attend the contest to-night. The question is not, "Did you pass?" but, "What did the faculty say?" C. E. Street, a rustler on the COURIEK, is manager of the Southern Kansas, to-day. Prof. Marsh has added to the magazines in the library, Scribner's Magazine. Profs. Blake and Wilcox aided the Handel & Haydn chorus Tuesday evening. Through the kindness of Prof. McDonald we now have the semi-weekly New York Tribune in the library. Persons who can spare Friday evenings will do well to attend the Unity club. Current events will be discussed to-night. On Monday morning Chancellor Lippincott addressed a few words of advice to all the students assembled in the chapel. It is delightful to be able to move about one or two days in the week without the use of rubbers, even if it is only because it is cold and the ground is frozen. No student allowed to smoke in any of the University buildings except the boiler house. Such is the new rule. The sportive preps had a regular picnic in chapel Monday, dropping the seats. Who would not be a prep with brow unscarred by thoughts of care. Nobody has as yet been rendered very hoarse by practicing the slogan of K. S. U.; but we may expect some such effects during the next twenty-four hours. "The Economic Theory of Railway Location," by A. W. Wellington, has been added to the Engineering department of the library this week. A number of students sang in the concert given by the Handel and Haydn society Tuesday evening. The heavy chorus was well-sustained by Simpson, Reynolds, Prentice and others. Some of the young lady students are having a very difficult time in finding suitable rooms and boarding places, and it is feared they may have to return home in consequence. The Seniors have been greatly worried over the rumor that the intended strict application of the new rules by the faculty would cut a large number of them out from graduation. But they were greatly relieved the other day when it was announced upon good authority that the rumor was false. LAW. The study of Tariff Legislation is a new one in our curriculum. But it can be made one of the most practicable studies in the course. As everyone in order to take an intelligent stand on the question must know the whole history of our tariff laws from Washington's administration down to the present time. A class in Bible study under the direction of Prof. McDonald has been lately organized. The class meets on Wednesdays from 5 to 6, and is open to all lady students of the University. This is a department of work which has long been needed, and it is hoped that all who can will become members of the class. Prof. Green attended court at Leavenworth on Saturday. There are a great many comedians, but the most irresistible of the whole profession are Barry and Fay. Seldom is such utter abandonment to mirth seen as was witnessed at the Grand Opera House last night. Old, straight-laced, solemn-visaged citizens, seldom known to smile, threw themselves into all sorts of contortions and whooped and yelled like schoolboys. A man in the very jaws of destruction would be bound to laugh at McKenna's Flirtation. No words can paint its ludicrousness; no description can approach the reality of its performance.—N. Y. Times, Dec. 14. Miss Agnes Love was pleasantly surprised last Friday evening by a number of her friends who unexpectedly dropped in at an early hour. A very pleasant evening was spent by all present in conversation and dancing. The Mandolin club discussed sweet strains of music throughout the evening and at a proper hour refreshments were served. The guests were: Misses Mattie Snow, Emma White, Alice Penbell, Mamie Lyons, Lena Beard, Helen Weber, Gertrude Miller, Anna Barkar, and Messrs. Chas. Spencer, S. C. Brewster, O. H. Campbell, W. W. Davis, W. P. Brown, O. B Taylor, E. L. Swope, W. A. Snow J. M. Shellbarger, E. W. Caldwell A. L. Bennet. A. G. Hagar, of the Juniors has accepted a position on the evening Tribune. The laws expect to have their annual address this year delivered by Senator John J. Ingalls. Stebbins has been quietly working away at his law this week. Just as though he were not the man who is to win the contest at Baldwin tonight. In the near future one visiting the University of Kansas, will find the law school situated in a fine new thirty thousand dollar building of its own, looming up on the campus just west of Snow Hall. Michael Maloney, of Lawrence, ordered a gallon of best Irish whisky from Pat Flaherty of Kansas City. The whisky was sent C. O. D. and received and paid for by Maloney. Was the sale made in Kansas, or in Missouri? is the question which Seniors attempted to solve at moot court this week. In the absence of the dean on Tuesday Prof. Franklin came into the room of the laws and proceeded to give them a dose of Physics. The disciples of Blackstone being unable to comprehend his speech thought he was commanding silence in the room and were about to eject him through the window. The Prof. taking in the situation, put up the money to treat the crowd and was allowed to depart in peace. Chas, Spencer has been elected president of the Pharmaceutical society. Pharmacy. Albach has of late developed an inquisitive state of mind. His research in bromine has been attracting much attention. Mr. E. K. Rankin has been elected vice-president of the Senior Pharmacy class to fill vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Howard. From the appearance of the pharmacy laboratory last week one would think a butcher shop had been started. Nothing, however, but the seniors preparing for making "pepcin". Messrs. Brown, of Leavenworth, and Leis, of Lawrence, members of the State Board of Pharmacy, met the senior and junior classes of that department last Thursday. They conducted a written "quiz". It is reported that all received a first grade. Fifty-three students failed in two studies or more at the examination at K. S. U. last month. This is the report that is being copied in the papers over the state. Will it benefit K. S. U? Is it a compliment to our Faculty? What do you think about it? The Exams. have passed into history. Fred Dorrance was in the city Sunday. Miss Anna Chalfant is among the new students. Morris will not meet his girl in Baldwin. H. E. Finney spent last Sunday in town. R. E. Kroh will not attend the University the coming term. Mrs. Carruth and daughter visited the University Wednesday. Maggie Edidmiller and Kate Wilder visited the Thetas on Tuesday. Mrs. Wm. McDonald is taking post-graduate work at U. of K. The freshmen will soon have to begin work on their theses. The first one is due February 26. All the students in chemistry are very "flush" with money, so to speak, since receiving (?) their deposits—mmus breakage, etc. The Analytics class is very large this term and the Zoology class in consequence is somewhat smaller than usual. Why this mathematical turn? We hope to see a cut of Snow Hall in the new catalogue. A handsome picture of that building would greatly add to the appearance of the book. Thanks to Prof. Blake! The old electric clock, which for so long a time has silently hung upon the chapel wall, now occupies a prominent place in the reading room and really keeps correct time. The engine at the boiler house will soon be in position. Great pains have been taken to build a very solid foundation, and the engine will be as well put up as any in the state. We have not reached the time of the year when the sun does not set until after 6 o'clock in the evening. Accordingly it is apt to be a little dark in the halls when the 5-to-6 o'clock classes get out. Why not have a little gas light in the halls about that time, to assist the students in finding their overcoats and rubbers? NO.21. Hunt Gardner, one of our last year's students, is in Dusseldorf, Germany, where he is studying the German language. Miss Eva Howe and Miss Lillie McConnell and brother started for California last Wednesday morning. Miss Martique Babcock was detained from her classes last Friday by sickness. Hon. J. R. Burton, on account of his trip to Mexico has resigned his position of judge in the state contest, and Chancellor Everest of Garfield University, of Wichita, is to take his place. Charlie Chanute passed through the city Wednesday on his way to Denver, where he is going for a change of climate in order to benefit his health. Harry Riggs has returned from Topeka where he has been visiting during the past week. Harry Riggs climbed the bill Monday morning. Personal. Miss Julia Benedict has about recovered from her recent illness. H. E. Finney was in the city Sunday visiting old friends. Jacobs has not yet fully decided whether to take vocal lessons or not. Frank Marshall was in town during the last week. Geo White enjoyed a visit from his father last week. Mr. Kroh, of Wyandotte, paid a visit to his son, R. E., during the latter part of last week, before going to California. Fred Campbell, our last year's "base ballist," came in to attend the Sigma Chi party on last Friday evening. Mrs. Emery and Miss Thacher were seen at the University on Wednesday last. Miss Kittie Bistline was not able to climb the hill on Friday last, owing to sickness. F. W. Butler went down to Baldwin last Thursday to secure reserved seats for the contest. Miss Mamie Stimpson gave a very pleasant tea party at her home on last Saturday evening. Prof. A. G. Canfield gave a lecture on French literature, Wednesday. Judge A. G. Otis, of Atchison visited his son Mark, last week. The high honor of a directorship in the "University Tank Line" has been conferred upon Mr. Eugene W. Caldwell. Congratulations. Miss Mina Marvin was on the hill Wednesday. Miss Lyle Hynes returned from Texas yesterday. Prof. L. W. Spring is to contribute one of the monographs to be issued by the Industrial Educational Association. His production will be on "Mark Hopkins, Teacher." Miss Miles from Harrisburg, Kentucky, visited the University yesterday. She is the guest of Miss Grace Field of Leavenworth, who is now visiting Miss Emma White. Emma White spent a couple of hours at the University yesterday showing friends from Leavenworth over the buildings.

GO DOWN to Baldwin this evening and help Stebbins uphold the glory of K. S.U. The more adherents and friends he can see in the audience, the more confidence will be given him. Go down for your own benefit; forget books and studies and have a jolly, good time. Become acquainted with the men from the other educational institutions and especially see what you can of Baker, the school at which we have laughed so long, yet which yearly sends to the State Oratorical Contest the 'most formidable opponent whom our man has to meet. The Washburn, Argo, a monthly, published by a school near Topeka, in its last issue relieved its overwrought, hypochondriacal spleen against the Courier of K.S. U. by indulging its mud throwing propensity to the usual extent. The Courier hopes that under the present management it may never so far forget itself or the character of the institution it represents as to be compelled to stoop to such filth for comment. An educational institution, even such an one as Washburn, should have more decency and pride than to soil its hands with such scurrillity. It is the aim of the COURIER to keep the "University Directory" in such shape that information contained therein may be thoroughly reliable. But elections and changes in times of meeting, etc., occur so frequently in some of the numerous literary and scientific societies, that our local editor must sometimes fail to hear of them. Hence, announcements in this column, becoming old and incorrect, often remain unamended. If, when changes in officers or times of meeting are made, some member of the society in which they occur will kindly hand the announcement to any member of the staff, corrections will be promptly made, and the "Directory" will be able to better accomplish the purpose for which it is designed. THERE have been a number of Alumni gatherings lately, notably those of the Alumni association of the University of the city of New York; the Princeton Club; the Dartmouth Alumni; and the Williams College Alumni Association. The usual number of "notables" were present at each, and the most notable of the "notables" made addresses. These meetings are conducive to great good, not only to the alumni, but to the "almae matres" and it is very much to be desired that the alumni of K. S. U. should take more interest in their association, and make their annual meeting one of greater note. The object of education is the discipline of the mind as well as the acquisition of knowledge. To obtain this discipline, some recommend the study of language, others recommend the study of science and mathematics, each kind of study being adapted to the development of particular faculties, and more or less practical. But one study having more disciplining qualities than any other, and far more practical in its results, is pretty generally overlooked. It is the study of composition. To express thoughts clearly necessitates a studious discrimination in the meaning of words, and in the relative importance and logical sequence of facts which bear on the subject under discussion. This is severe exercise and requires great concentration of mind, but affords a most effective drill for the judgment. Our courses have made ample provision for composition on subjects requiring much reading and sitting down of leading ideas. But mere reading and composition is not enough if not supplemented by original thinking. Too many students try to retain a knowledge of every branch of study only until after examination, when they allow it to become disorganized so as to be practically worthless as knowledge. A student may make a first grade record in all the classes, mathematics or sciences, and be about as ignorant at the end as at the beginning of his course. No doubt, he may experience some sort of mind expansion. Yet he may have no more connected ideas, or be more able to think correctly than before. The disorganization of any acquired knowledge also tends to the disorganization of all knowledge, and thus forms a habit very detrimental to the intellect. If on the other hand, a student supplements his studies by exerting his thinking powers, his mind instead of becoming a leaky reservoir of facts, will become a laboratory of original ideas, and his learning will afford excellent material. His memory will be strengthened because he cannot afford to lose this material. Thinking begets the necessity of knowing. As he continues the practice of original writing, he learns to think consistently and connectedly. If he have no overweeping self-appreciation and exercise severe self criticism in the choice of words as well as in the discrimination of facts, he will become exact, and obtain an excellent command of language, a result highly practical. He will be conscious of power, and his mind, reudered, aggressive, will naturally assimilate truth. Original composition is something each student should see to for himself. One page of originally elaborated thoughts is worth more to the writer than a score of pages gleaned from other sources. Of course, it takes time. But a half hour each day spent in original thinking and writing is more beneficial than the time spent in getting any lesson. It is an excellent mental gymnastic. Try it. On the incoming of a new board on the Courier, it is by precedent the correct thing to cry out for the "much needed" improvements necessary to the welfare of the University. We need a library building, a Chancellors mansion, a gymnasium. As assuredly we do need all these, but in our school life utterly unbearable without them? Is this University a failure in its mission; do we, the students, without them, fail to receive those essentials of knowledge for which we come here, for the slight gain of which, we consent to endure four years of martyrdom, that the University of Kansas may receive glory in being able to point out our to be illustrious names in her rolls? Do we absolutely need some grand building in which to roam about in search of our unit of a library? When the University library assumes such proportions that it demands a building, then it will have it. When the reputation of the University will be so extended that its Chancellor must be singled out from common new and made to live one hundred and fifty feet nearer the sky than he does in his present residence, then Mount Oread will be graced by a Chancellor's mansion. Where our students evince sufficient capacity in special athletic sports to justify the legislature in appropriating money for a gymnasium building, it will undoubtedly do it. As for the matter of exercise sufficient for good health, no student need lack that for want of a gymnasium. A pair of dumb bells or Indian clubs, ground to walk or run on, a ball to throw and bat, are within the reach of any one. No man can go out from the University broken down in health and blame it upon the lack of a gymnasium. When the University has shown an inclination and readiness to take a step in advance, means have not been lacking to enable it to take that step. Luxuries will not be thrust upon us but when a need really is a need, when certain improvements are imperatively demanded for the success of the school, the state will not fail to provide means for such improvements. As the mantle, if there is one, falls upon our shoulders, as we assume the burden, and begin the labors which our predecessors have pronounced so arduous, we are not without fear With this issue the Courier passes into the hands of a new board of editors. What shall be its fate remains to be seen. that our abilities may fall short of the task which is before us. If such should be the case; if in the eye of students and public we should gravely err, as doubtless we often shall, we can only bow to your kind indulgence. We fully realize that it is no slight undertaking to edit a college journal so that it shall satisfy the wants and meet the approval of all. In a school where numerous factions or classes exist, this is especially difficult. A journal which could please all of them would indeed be remarkable; and is greatly to be desired. That we shall be able to produce such a model paper, we do not flatter ourselves with the slightest hope; but we promise that it shall be the ideal toward which we constantly struggle with unabated zeal. With every distinct body of students represented, ladies and gentlemen, fraternity and non-fraternity alike, we shall endeavor to be unjust to no one, and to look to the interests of all with an unprejudiced eye. We shall earnestly strive to make the Courier the student's paper in the full sense of the term. To that end our columns shall always be open to the free expression of views, and contributions by any and all are cordially invited, nay, earnestly solicited. It shall not be our policy to seek controversy with regents, faculty, faction or contemporary college journals. But if perchance we should have an opinion, to express, a criticism or a suggestion to make, or a question to ask, we shall speak frankly and shall expect like treatment in return. To the citizens, and business men of Lawrence the new management makes its bow. We shall try to maintain for the COURIER the good reputation which our predecessors have made for it; and we hope that you will extend us the same patronage and encouragement which you have given them. We again ask the aid and support of the students, for without their cooperation no college journal can be a success. Why Not? To the Editor of The Courier: Why Not? Kansas people are proud of their state; it history, its heroes, its grasshoppers, its cyclones, its drouths and its glorious advancement. This pride of the Kansas people has crystallized and is found in a statute which sets aside Jan. 29th as a day of Kansas Thanksgiving and reminiscence. The statute further provides that the day shall be especially observed in the Kansas public schools. Yet this day was passed without the slightest notice by the state University. Perhaps the faculty with their eyes fixed on the "Olympian heights" can come down and recognize a plebian holiday. Perhaps because no mouldering low-priced ruins hold back Kansas boom the Regents, like crazy John Ruskin, don't care to notice the state which supports them. But it cannot be denied that in Kansas there is a strong feeling, daily growing, to put Kansas men, Kansas growth, Kansas history before every thing. This University must acknowledge or lose the support of the Kansas press and through that the support of the Kansas papers. The reason now that the press of the state look askance at Oread is because they think—justly or unjustly—that the University is filled with what they call a "set of eastern dudes" who care for Kansas only as they can bleed her people. In Kansas Washington's birthday is celebrated about as heartily by the people in general as is St. Patrick's day. In fact, Washington's birthday is a little mouldy all over the country. Enough has been said about Washington already so that only a genius can say more. The impotent efforts of mediocre people to say something new about the parent of his country becomes either disgusting rehash or cringing veneration of a half-god, half-human creation of popular fancy. On the other hand the history of Kansas is unwritten. Wilder, Spring and the Herd book man have each contributed somewhat, but a complete history, a reliable history, of Kansas has not been written. In this the University is placed in a position to do a great work for the state. Situated in the very center of the stage when the first scene of the Kansas drama was enacted, by a very little exertion and a respectable amount of attention the University could awaken an interest in Kansas' early days that would lead perhaps to a far better history of the state than now exists. At any rate to devote one day in the year to a subject in which all Kansans are interested could do much good and would do no harm. "HERB MOST." Agrippa's Table Modernized. Once upon a time, when the body had been racked and wasted with painful disorders, a discussion arose among its various members as to the origin and remedy of their sufferings. They agreed that the disorders had been brought on by physical abuses; the abuses were the effects of misgovernment, the mind was the governing power; therefore, some proposed as a remedy that the brain should be beaten out, and the mind thus annihilated. But some dissenting members showed that mental annihilation, so far from being a remedy, would inevitably be their own destruction as well, surely no desirable end. What would be more foolish than to destroy the central nerve force, by which they were united, through which they performed their functions, and in which they had a vital part? It is true, they had been injured by the ignorant and careless violation of natural laws, but the mind had also suffered the consequences, and, having been made wiser by painful experience, would hereafter avoid those evil abuses, and the sufferings would be relieved. There are people who think that the social evils of which they complain are the effects of misgovernment, or social maladjustment, and therefore to be remedied only by abolishing government. Let them remember that social life without government is impossible. Evils there are, many and serious, but the governing intelligence of the people, profitting by painful experience, will enquire after the causes and remove them. Anarchy is social death. 10 Jawharas OU Best As W Re which speci The the wore for the weighs of forty the bass John student € Manh passage mental sas Sta receivee ermene agricul be of g to the A pep "tear" vard; William a "cold" in reci "slump Primec and a Univer The have a on spe It France presid The issued guide Am facult land.

Manhattan Republic: By the passage by congress of the experimental station bill Monday, the Kansas State Agricultural college will receive $15,000 a year from the government for the purpose of making agricultural experiments. This will be of great service to the college and to the state. A perfect recitation is, called a "tear" at Princeton; "squirt" at Harvard; "sail" at Bowdoin; "rake" at Williams; "dead rush" at Yale, and a "cold rush" at Amherst. A failure in recitation receives the title of "slump" at Harvard; a "stump" at Princeton; a "smash" at Wesleyan; and a "flunk" at Yale, Amherst and University of Pennsylvania. The Princeton sophomores have issued a printed code of rules to guide the freshmen. It has been announced that Dr. Francis L. Patton has been elected president of the Princeton University. The students of Columbia College have adopted the gown, to be worn on special occasions. Amherst is represented in the faculty of every college in New England. All the students of Capital University, except two, subscribe for their college journal. How about K.S.U. students? The faculty of Cornell University has decided to dispense altogether with honors. All mention of honors will be omitted from the register and from Commencement programs. The freshmen of Allegheny College, after a successful class fight with the sophomores, celebrated their victory, by a parade on the principal streets of Meadville with a soph. in effigy, and marched to the college and burned the dummy amid great rejoicing. Class spirit was intense. The alumni of Elmira College have undertaken to raise $50,000 for the endowment of a professorship in that institution. The faculty of Ottawa University have decided to make a lecture course a permanent thing. A committee has already been appointed to prepare a program for next year. Instead of the society meetings Saturday evening, the oratorical association held a dime social at the College. A short, spicy, literary program was rendered, consisting of declamations and three minute speeches interspersed with music by the orchestra. After the program, games, charades and a general good time was freely indulged in.[Ottawa Lever.] The Ottawa Association is possessed of the genuine Yankee spirit. It don't believe in bankruptcy. Its ideas of how to have a good time are certainly quite novel for an oratorical association. It is rumored that there is a phenominal pitcher among Yale's freshmen. Barry and Fay the two inimitable Irish comedians will appear at Bowersock's Opera House Wednesday evening February 15. Their new play "McKenna's Flirtation" is a great hit winning the most favorable comments wherever presented. If you like something funny go and hear it. It will make you laugh—laugh and grow fat. Read what the New York Telegram says of it. Barry and Fay's "McKenna's Flirtation" was presented last night at the Grand Opera House, and the man who could sit it out without indulging in an uproarious laugh is an oyster. The audience was in a chuckle of laughter from beginning to the end, and it can be safely put down as being the most excruciatingly funny entertainment on the road. THE American Magazine for February contains a plea for a University theater. The author of the article, Mr. Geo. Riddle, claims that by means of a University theater, with a school for acting, the profession of an actor would be placed on as square an educational basis in the eyes of the community as are the ministry, law and medicine; that the fact that no college graduate has achieved distinction on the stage, is no argument against the desideratum of a college education for an actor; and that a university theater would encourage the best of authors to write plays. He thinks that there is a public, limited in numbers, but nevertheless a nucleus, which desires a better form of drama than prevails principally to-day. He speaks of what has been done for the art of music by the establishment of numerous academies, and asks why a much should not be done for the drama. As to the practical workings of such an institution he say nothing, but intends his article merely as a suggestion. The class in Journalism will be made one of great profit to K. S. U. budding editors. HELAWRENCE HOUSE! The Best Table Board in the City. New styles Spring overcoats, hats and all a student needs at Crains & Urbansky's.

"It is a fine picture, and certainly gives us the focus and general appearance of an exceedingly bright looking lot of men." Washburn College went to the oratorical contest eighty strong and although beaten this time they are not discouraged. The delegation spent Friday night at Lawrence and visited the University Saturday morning. All went home on the noon train. A new Presbyterian College has recently opened with seventy students.

Owing to the Baldwin excitement last Friday, Athanaeum did not have more than two-thirds of her regular attendance. The first part of the program was cut quite short by absentees, but a marked interest was taken in the debate and Current Event essay. Athanaeum. The question debated was one in which every student and professor of the University should be interested, namely: Resolved that Final Examinations have proven to be of no practical benefit. The question was decided in favor of the affirmative, and well it was, for it is but little argument that can be produced in opposition to this question. The affirmative proved that these final examinations benefitted only those who failed to keep a good class grade. As a student who always had his lessons was just wasting his time when he came to final examinations. Therefore, the time spent in examination week proved to be of no practical use to the student and, furthermore, it robs the state of the wages paid the Professors during that week and one week less of good teaching. REPORTER. Law. Prof. Edwards, of Hesper, was in town on Saturday and expressed his intention to re-enter the Junior class in the near future. Prof. J. O. Rankin, of Lecompton, visited with the boys on Monday and expressed his intention to enter the class next year. Why don't Wolley attend recitations? He has married a wife and therefore cannot come. W. S. Wolley, Senior Law, was married last week to Miss Minnie Adams, of Americus. Mr. and Mrs. Wolley are now citizens of Lawrence. The Courier joins with all their friends in wishing them nothing but sunshine and joy during their future life. The Juniors created quite a sensation on Friday morning by attending chapel in a body. When the Lord's prayer was reached there was a jargon of: "Now I lay me," the ten commandments, etc., throughout the entire class, with the exception of Stebbins, who knew it not, and knew he knew it not, and therefore remained in solemn silence. prohibitory law of Kansas. Is he guilty? Was the question discussed by the Seniors at last session of moot court. "A. B. C. and D. who reside in Lawrence, enter into an agreement to purchase a gallon of whiskey. They agree that each is to contribute fifty cents to a common fund for that purpose; the money is given to A., who goes to Kansas City, purchases the whiskey, returns to Lawrence and gives B. C. and D. each one quart; A. is arrested for violating the The A., T. & S. F. R. R. Co., applied to congress for authority to build a bridge for its road across the Kansas river, which river is a navigable stream and wholly within the State of Kansas, and permission was granted. The State of Kansas duly protested, against the right of congress to authorize a private corporation to occupy navigable waters within a state and to appropriate the soil, without the consent of the state. Question: Has congress the power? This question was assigned by the Dean for a joint discussion between the two classes, and J. W. Roberts and S. T. Gilmore were elected to represent the Seniors, and L. A. Stebbins and S. D. Bishop to represent the Juniors. It was decided by Judge Green, this week, that a man sending whiskey from Kansas City to Lawrence, C.O.D., might be prosecuted under the Kansas prohibitory law, if caught within the state. This case has been argued twice in moot court; the first time by Stebbins and McClinton for the State, and Hobbs and Pears for the defense The second time by Fiddler and Gilmore for the State, and Roberts and Rice for the defense. The case is important, and has made quite a stir in the law department. The Law Department held a banquet, on Wednesday evening, in honor of the victory of one of their number at the State Oratorical contest. Several members of the bar, including Mr. Thomas Bates, of Chicago, were present. At 9 P. M., Mr.F.H. Klock served a "sumptuous feed," after which Dr. Summerfield, acting as toast master, in a very clever manner introduced the various speakers, who responded as follows: The Orator and the Lawyer, L.

BUSINESS MANAGERS: WILL. A. JACKSON, 1 SOLON T. GILMORE. From the Press of F. T. FOLEY. Entered at the post- office at Lawrence, Kansas, as second-class matter. As our readers will observe, a large portion of our space this week is devoted to the recent contest. If on this account the variety of subject matter should seem limited, we trust we may be pardoned for our protracted enthusiasm over K. S. U's victory. Such glory can come only once a year at most, and why not make the most of it while it lasts? THE COURIER has just received from Hon. P. B. Plumb, a pamphlet copy of Senator Sherman's reply to the President's message. The speech occupies twenty-two closely printed pages, and is a thoroughly masterly treatment of the question of tariff, viewed from the protectionist standpoint. No one should fail to read it carefully, be his views whatever they may. It is reported that the mayor and marshall of the little village of Baldwin, have so far bestrived themselves as to send up word to the "Police Headquarters" at Lawrence, that the K. S. U. students conducted themselves in a most "disreputable and scandalous manner at the oratorical contest. They aver that a vast amount of property, including three or four feet of lumber and several empty dry goods boxes, was entirely and totally destroyed by said students, resulting in great detriment to, and much commercial distress among, the inhabitants of the village. They also indignantly complain that the professors and students kept up such a continuous roar of shouts and song, until such a late hour, that the good people of the precinct, accustomed by rural habits to retire at the seasonable hour of half past seven in the evening, were unable to enjoy their usual slumbers, in consequence of which they arose weary and exhausted the next morning. But there is one evil which was inflicted last Friday night upon this secluded but righteous village, which its highly venerable officials, whether through ignorance or inexperience, failed to notice. They probably failed to observe the groups of innocence, yet msophisticated, Baldwin hoodlums (not students) who, like the maple moths in their snowwhite purity flitting about the evening lamp, unconscious of their danger, attracted by the huge and dazzling blaze within the ring of depraved K. S. U. youths, hovered about, ever drawing nearer, until finally in a sudden abandonment of ecstacy they stepped within the fatal circle only to meet a fate worse than that of Sullivan's opponents. Probably the city fathers did not observe this danger to their dear hoodlums or they would have made more strentuous efforts to rescue them and put them in a "safe place," than they did. But, if ever again the village should have the honor of having so large and wicked a horde of students within its borders, it is to beoped that they will diligently guard against this hitherto undetected evil. THE INTER COLLEGIATE ASSOCIATION MEETING. THE Association was called to order at 9:30 A.M., Feb. 11, in Centenary Hall, with Pres. F. A. Wright, or Ottawa University in the chair. The following delegates were present Messrs. Isery and Hoover, of Ottawa University; Gault and Foster of Baker University; Parrington and Johns, of the College of Emporia; Huggins and Rhodes, of the State Normal; Brewster and Bloss, of Washburn College; Doran and Mushrush, of the State University, also Vice-President Higgins, of the State University, and Secretary Platt, of Washburn College. For the ensuing year the following officers were elected: Pres., J. A. Mushrush, State University; Sec. and Treas., S. F. Harker, Ottawa University; 1st. Delegate, J.W. D. Anderson, Baker University; 2nd. Delegate, D. H. Platt, Washburn College; 3rd. Delegate, J.M. Parrington, College of Emporia. Emporia was designated as the place for the holding of the next contest. Article 7, Section , was amended by inserting the words "only two delegates * * * two votes," thus preventing one college from sending more than two delegates as the University had done in this case. Article 12, Section , was amended so that the minutes of meetings of the association will be read and adopted at the close of each annual meeting instead of having the minutes of one meeting read at the opening of the next. A negative reply was made to the applications of Garfield University, Wichita, and Wesleyan University, Salina, for admission into the Association. Higgins, of the State University, was instructed to compile a history of the State Association, of which three hundred copies will be printed, and fifty sent to each college Association, together with fifty copies each, of the constitution of the Association. Votes of thanks were tendered to the students and faculty of Baker University, to the citizens of Baldwin, to the executive committee and to the judges. The constitution was amended so that hereafter six judges shall be appointed, three to grade the orations in thought and composition, and three to grade them in delivery. The Convention then adjourned at noon. MR. STEBBINS' ORATION The existence of political parties seems to be inevitable in representative governments, and wherever they have existed, partisanship has been constantly influential in moulding the minds of men on political questions. The history of the United States is largely a record of partisan strife. Party fealty has been inseparably interwoven with the political life of the nation. Loyalty to party impels great masses of people to vote for men and measures they know little or nothing about, and fixes firmly in their minds theories of government and finance that are perpetuated through many generations, and determine governmental policies long after the causes giving rise to them have been forgotten. It is, therefore, of the highest importance that American voters should know the proper attitude toward political parties, and endeavor to assume and maintain it. Let us now proceed to inquire what relations at present exist between the masses and our great parties, and what are the causes that produced them. Then let us determine, if possible, in what respect these relations may be improved. ARTICLE I.—Every man should belong to some political party,which, once selected,should never be abandoned. The political creed of the average man in the United States to-day reads somewhat as follows: ARTICLE II.—Any person who shall see anything unworthy in his own party, and who shall be indiscreet enough to say so, shall be deemed to have proved himself either a fanatic or a fool, and unworthy the confidence of his fellow-men. ARTICLE III.—To express the opinion that one sees something worthy in the opposing party is the height of inconsistency, and conclusive evidence that the person guilty of such an opinion is no statesman, and therefore not safely to be trusted with the affairs of government. This, at least, is the creed the great mass of the American people live, whether they believe it or not. Will these precepts stand the test of time? Is this a sound creed? No. It is unsound, unwise, unjust. It has little or no foundation in good sense or good policy, because it teaches the voter to follow party blindly. Why, then, are there so many men who encourage by word and deed this narrow and unmanly political creed, with the degrading political vassalage it implies? The reasons are not hard to find. Passive acquiescence in party action commends itself to all who are too indolent to post themselves on political questions, because, to their minds, it affords an easy escape from all personal effort or responsibility. Again, there is in man an inherent and almost uncontrollable aversion to change in after-life the associations, social, religious, or political, of younger and more ardent days. Every such change causes an effort and a pang. All the men the world has produced, whose minds have been open to receive new truth on great questions, after the age of fifty, and who have stood ready and willing to be guided by such truth, might almost be counted on one's fingers. The priest says: "Give me the child till he is fourteen and you may have the man." When to man's inherent tendency to retain that which is familiar to him, we add the pride he takes in being an integral part of a great political organization, we have a shield for party loyalty against which may be directed the arrows of logic and truth without perceptible effect. Then, this creed has been urged upon the people by politicians since parties were formed. To convince people of its soundness every devise known to the English tongue has been used. And, as a final cause for the almost universal acceptance of this political creed, may be mentioned the fact that it requires moral courage of no mean kind to step boldly forth at all times and proclaim what one believes to be the truth, regardless of who else may hold like opinions. Political parties are not only inevitable in republican governments, but they may be made instruments for great good, when kept within their proper spheres,—when used as means, not ends. It is a man's right; yea, many times it becomes his duty, to be a partisan, but his partisanship, as far as possible, should be intelligent, growing out of convictions based on original investigation, and not a blind adherence to a mere name. He should support party so long as his party is an instrument he can use to secure honest government, good laws, and sound policy; and the moment it ceases to be this instrument,—the moment these functions are no longer performed through it, that moment it should cease to have any claim on his support. Partisan let him be, yet also non-partisan enough to know when that moment arrives. There is under the burning sun but one way of keeping politics pure, so that our best men may be our guides and rulers, so that our laws may be the issue of sound reason, and the administration of them the purest justice; but one way, I say, and that is by making men feel that the responsibility for good government rests with the individual, and that he cannot elude this responsibility by allowing his party to think for him. No political party in power will long remain pure and undefiled, unless a healthy, wise, impartial public sit in judgment on its every act, rewarding only its good deeds by approbation, and visiting upon its first attempt to wander from the path of justice and purity, an inevitable omnishment. The effect of blind partisanship upon politics is obvious. As soon as a party gains power it attracts to its ranks thousands of unscrupulous men, who, caring little for principle, are willing to stoop to any device to become themselves leaders in the winning party. A struggle at once begins between the base and the better elements of the party. Now, if the people are blind partisans, if they hurrah for everything that goes under the party name, if they do not discriminate between the worthy and the unworthy, condemning the latter by withholding their support at the polls, the struggle will be a short one; the pure and the patriotic to the party will go to the wall, and the rabble of demagogues will reign supreme; because unrestrained and unhampered by a sense of duty, the demagogue can wield with deadly effect weapons the man of honor would scorn to touch. Many reasons might be urged, if any were needed, why partisanship should be intelligent. It should be so, for example, to restore and preserve the purity and efficiency of our civil service. It is this unwise political creed, of which I have spoken, and the corrupting partisanship flowing from it that have made it possible for political parties openly to practice and many times openly to advocate that most despicable and pernicious of all political dogmas that ever disgraced the American people—the spoils system—a system which denies a public office to be a public trust, but would make it a prize offered by the people to the winning politician. Blind partisanship makes civil service reform impossible. Mark its effect upon national affairs. It is presidential election. From all sides goes up a prolonged cry for civil service reform. All are agreed that this time we must have a man for President of the United States who will appoint officers of government with reference to their efficiency, and not as a reward for political services. Several men are nominated for the presidency. All pledge themselves to the principles of civil service reform. Perhaps when these pledges are made, all intend to fulfill them, and believe it will be possible for them so to do. Time rolls on; one of these men is installed at the White House. The next day, Washington swarms with politicians from all parts of the Union, seeking reward at the hands of the President for services rendered in securing his election. They demand the offices. He hesitates and reminds them of his pledges. To this no direct reply is made, but an increased demand for the spoils of the victory. Again he hesitates. But now he is given to understand that he can distribute the offices or be deserted by his party and left without friends or prestige to maintain the dignity of his position or to secure a respectable place in the history of the country. This is the crucial test! Now the critical moment! Now the time for the people of all parties to rise above petty partisan jealousy, and to say, "Be the true your pledges, let the turban your pledges, if they will; we are your friends and will record our approval at the polls." They do not do it. He suddenly realizes that he is surrounded, that he has no way of escape that will be honorable and at the same time command power and respect. To go forward means hopeless conflict with angry politicians and blind partisans of all parties. To go backward, double dealing and broken pledges; but he sees that his own party will hurrah for him just as lustily if he is false as true to his pledges; that the opposing party will condemn him just as bitterly if he is true or false. What is the result? What will ever be the result, so long as men seek not truth, but blindly follow empty names? He yields, satisfies the politicians, and secures his renomination by acclamation; and all the while the people vaguely wonder why they can never get a man for Chief Executive of this nation who will be true to his pledges for civil service reform. Partisanship should be intelligent to preserve in political life, that, without which, there can be no true excellence—a disposition at all times to seek, proclaim and respect the truth. In no other department of honorable human effort, is there so little respect paid to the truth as in politics. In the ranks of the Democratic party stand thousands upon thousands of voters who have put on the Democratic spectacles, and who are careful never to look at anything except through these glasses, which are so noulded and colored as to make everything bearing the party name, assume the guise of golden truth. If the Democratic party advocates low tariff, they will vote the Democratic ticket; if it favors high tariff, they will vote the Democratic ticket; if it preaches one thing and practices the other, they will still vote the Democratic ticket. In the Republican party stand a like number who gaze through the Republician glasses, and will do for it precisely the same thing. What wonder that, under such circumstances, the real question in admitting a territory O $ ^{1} $ Best A W which spec a as stests of will it more wonde House stantly detern as in c Bliis sponsi a pre Blind falseh corrup demag count fires c the p and so It m tards pathy build bring not o Leing ear t to rai lity one's Let party coun may plan natic menu ican thin mor gate Adeo Luvvy 1234567890 weeing and collation and pleatn Spring Overcoats, Newest Hats and Furnishings at Steinberg's. se. e to the partisan- form im- pon nabe a man in the United States govern-efficient-politicalominated pledge of civilen will these to ful-best pose rolls called atxt day,liticians seeking president living his offices. in of his repley is and for again he givetone toattribute this par- press of his efectable country. how the above for to say, let the y will; record they do sees that no way able and power means politi-lall par deaehe sees rah for false asopposjust as What ever be ek not empty ne polination while y they Ex-will be service ilignant that, so true times act the entire of bere as in Demou- upon put on and who nothing which as to party golden adyate the high craticat- ing and I still in the numu- publiceise- onder s, the ritory 25 to 50 Per Cent.

WE HAVE AGAIN PURCHASED The Indiana Cash Grocery at 828 Massachusetts Street. which we intend to run upon the same plan as formerly, making special low prices for the SPOT CASH. THE BAYLESS MERCANTILE CO. as a state is not: Do the best interests of the people demand it? but, will it give us or our opponents two more votes in the Senate? What wonder we see the Senate and the House, irrespective of truth, constantly dividing along party lines in determining questions of pure fact, as in contested elections? Blind faith in party means irresponsibility, and irresponsibility puts a premium upon lying and deceit. Blind adherence to party shields falsehood, protects bribery, nourishes corruption, and sets a prize upon demagogy. It respects the liar, countenances the thief, and feeds the fires of polluted ambition. It fires the passions, blunts the judgment, and sows the seeds of national decay. It makes friends enemies, and retards the coming of a universal sympathy and co-operation in the upbuilding of good government. It brings weakness, not strength; chaos, not order. Let, then, the men of liberty- loving America lend not a credulous ear to that philosophy which seeks to raise party fealty above individuality and loyalty to the dictates of one's own sense of right and justice. Let the watchword go forth: I serve party when it serves truth and my country. Then, and not till then, may we hope to raise politics to a plane where they shall cease to be a national reproach, and a perpetual menace to the liberties of the American people. The State Oratorical Contest is a thing of the past, and Victory once more dwells content within our gates. The contest, held at Baldwin one week ago to-night, was an interesting one in every respect, the prelude and conclusion, especially. All the colleges which are members of the State Association sent large delegations, which, with numerous visitors and a large number of Baldwin people, packed Centenary Hall to its atmost capacity. At about 8:30 o'clock the program was opened by music by the Baker band. Several selections were rendered in a very creditable manner. After Chancellor Lippincott had pronounced the invocation, and P. P. Campbell, President of the Inter-State Association, had delivered a short address of welcome, the President of the State Association, Mr. F. A. Wright, of Ottawa, introduced the first crator of the evening. Mr. Cowell spoke of the "Influence of Religion on the Intellect." His production showed much thought and study, but his delivery, though very pleasant, was somewhat stiff and lacked insufficient force to make it impressive. Miss Lulu Barnett, of the College of Emporia, was the only lady speaker of the occasion. Her treatment of the subject, "England's Richelieu," exhibited splendid descriptive ability, but could hardly be called argumentative. Her delivery was exceedingly graceful and pleasing, though her voice was scarcely strong enough to be distinctly heard in all parts of the house. After a vocal solo by Miss Clara Hawes, the third orator, Mr. J. W. D. Anderson, of Baker University, was introduced. His subject was handled very skillfully and his delivery was both easy and forcible. The representative of the Emporia State Normal School, Mr. O. B. M. McClintock, spoke of "A Continental Republic." His oration was very smoothly written, and while his delivery was slightly mechanical, his gestures were far more graceful than those of any other of the contestants. Following the organ solo by Prof. Snyder, came "The New Aristocracy," by J. E. E. Errickson, of Washburn College. His oration showed deep and careful thought. His voice was strong and his delivery forcible. L. A. Stebbins occupied the last place on the program. "Partisanship" was his theme, and "his address showed evidence of careful preparation, and it contained more thought and original ideas than any of the others. His delivery was impressive and entertaining." The most striking features of Mr. Stebbins' delivery are his deliberate and convincing manner, and the skill and force with which he gives expression to sarcasm. While the judges were making up their decision the audience listened to musical selections by Dan Crew, of Lawrence, Mr. Detwiler and the Mozart Quartette of Ottawa, and especially by the "Cherubs." Prof. Puffer, of Washburn College, also gave a very amusing recitation.

Go to the Opera House and hear a "Bunch of Keys" to-night. It will drive dull care away. The University Telegraph Club met in room No. 11, on Monday, at 1 o'clock, and adopted its constitution and by-laws and transacted other business. On account of the nice weather the boys couldn't wait for the mud to dry up, but play ball just as if it was dry. We should think that it would be better to wait awhile. A. G.

The election of representatives for Athenaeum, for June program, passed off very quietly. The following ticket was unanimously elected: Orators, Miss Gertie Hummicutt and Mr. John Mushrush; Debaters, Stout and Riggs; Essayist, Miss Gregg; Declaration, Miss Rosa McMurray. The program was ably rendered. The attendance was the largest of the year. A "Bunch of Keys," by the Sparks Company, is the attraction at the Opera House for Friday, Feb. 24. This play has been on the stage long enough to have won a reputation as the best of Hoyt's inimitable comedies. New incidents and new jokes have been introduced since it was last here, making it as fresh and sparkling as the time it was first presented. On Wednesday, February 15, the University of Nebraska observed its Nineteenth Charter Day. Dr. Lippincott delivered the anniversary address, speaking upon the subject: "The State University a Logical Development of the American Public School System, and a Legitimate Part of it." It is pleasing to note the compliment which the U. of N. pays our worthy Chancellor, and through him our University. One of the most interesting and instructive of the courses offered by the department of English, is the course in advanced composition. The class is an editorial staff, with Prof. Marsh as editor-in-chief, critic, collector, etc., etc. (Duties "two numerous to mention.") Short editorsials on some current topic are required to be written during the first fifteen minutes of the hour, and are afterwards criticised by the editor-in-chief, who "ruthlessly wages war" on favorite phrases, and clips wings when the metaphor "soars" too high. The future success of journalism is insured if the staff survives the "crucial test." Pharmacy. Bright Junior.—One capable of being fried.

Judge Benson gave the boys at Kent Club, Thursday evening, a plain practical talk, abounding in interest and information, on the subject of "How to get your case through court." The talented and genial Thomas Bates, of Chicago, says that when the boys of K. S. U. Law Department want any assistance, which he can conveniently render, all they have to do is to let him know it. PHI PSI ANNIVERSARY. Last Tuesday evening the halls of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, in the opera house block, presented an unusually bright and hospitable appearance. At an early hour the gentlemen of the fraternity, with their lady friends and a number of invited guests began to assemble, and soon the spacious rooms were filled with the brightest and most beautiful of University circles. It would have been hardly possible for a happier or more congenial company to have been brought together in Lawrence, than that which last Tuesday evening celebrated the Twelfth Anniversary of the establishment of the Kansas Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi. No. 23. The early part of the evening was occupied by a musicale, the program of which was very creditably rendered in every particular. This is a new and pleasing feature in the entertainments given by the fraternities of K. S. U., and the society is to be congratulated, both upon the care and good taste which the program and its arrangement displayed and, also, upon the success with which it was carried out. Indeed it is doubtful if any other fraternity in Lawrence could present a program so varied and at the same time so creditable, with so little outside assistance. The first selection, "Sans Souci," overture by Kaula, was very skillfully rendered by the Phi Psi Sextette. The sexette consists of: Messrs. Henry Nickel, who presides at the piano; O. B. Taylor, first clarinet; J. M. Shellabarger, second olaraket; J. A. Prescott, cornet; J. A. Mushrush, second violin; under the leadership of E. L. Swope, first violinist. Miss Georgia Brown followed with a contralto solo, entitled "His Fame," by Mora. The solo was rendered in the charming style so characteristic of Miss Brown's singing, and received a hearty encore. The next selection was a cornet solo by J. A. Presecott, "Adagio from the Septet," by Beethoven. Miss Josie Hutchings' soprano solo "In the Night She Told a Story," by Mrs. C. F. Chickering, cannot be too highly complimented. Miss Hutchings' excellence as a singer is too well known to need any additional comment here. The encore which she received, and to which she responded, was very enthusiastic. The violin solo by Earle L. Swope, entitled "Fantasia from Ernani," by Singelee, was rendered with the skill of a practiced and talented violinist. Henry Nickel played the accompaniment. The next item on the program was "I Feel Thy Angel Spirit," by Hoffman. The selection was very beautiful, and the manner in which it was sung by Misses Hutchings and Brown was excellent indeed. "Ah, So True," by Verdi, is the title of the violin duet by E. L. Swope and O.B. Taylor. The duett was played without piano accompaniment and without notes, and received, as it deserved, prolonged applause The last selection upon the program was Jacobowski's "Ermine," by the Phi Psi Sextette. After a short time spent in conversation the company adjourned to the rooms of the Young Men's Republican Club, below, where an elegant supper was served. Later in the evening the party returned to Phi Psi hall, where the remaining hours were spent in dancing to the sweet strains of the Mandolin club, and in other social enjoyments. Those present were: Misses Josie Hutchings, Jean Oliver, Clara Hunsicker, of Osage City; Lillie McMilan, Dora J. Ailen, May Webster, Lena Beard, Lizzie Wilder, Mame Lyons, Emma White, Minnie Innis, Emma Bartell, Tella Chapman, Lucile Pennebaker, Mattie Snow, Allie Mason, Alice Penfield, Kate Wilder, Nannie Love, Bella Sinclair, Fanny Pickering, Georgia Brown, Anna March, Mannie Snow, Sidney Dailey, Francis Eddy, and Profs.

Elmer Engel has accepted a lucrative position in the Salina High School. Chancellor Lippincott and Prof. Blake returned from Nebraska last Friday. Bishop and Cone are good friends even if "it" did not come out in the Courier. W. Y. Morgan came up from Kansas City, on Friday, to attend the Phi Gam party. Neal Brooks has been compelled to return to his home in Kansas City, on account of illness. Miss Mattie Olney is visiting her brother, F. H. Olney, who is sick with typhoid fever. Glen Miller visited the University on Friday, and shook hands once more with old friends. Miss Lillian McMillan and Miss Lucile Pennebaker went to Kansas City, yesterday, to spend several days. Prof. L. I. Blake delivered a very interesting lecture on "Lightening Rods," before the Douglas County Horticultural Society last Saturday. If this fine weather continues a few days longer the tennis-courts will once more open, and we may expect to see the gay and festive tennis player striking graceful (?) attitudes.

Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas, as second-class matter. DURING the last few years the University has made wonderful advancement in every department. This is largely due to the skillful management and unceasing labor of Dr. Lippincott, who is constantly at his post, never missing an opportunity to make known the advantages of K. S. U. Scarcely a month passes but that he is called upon to deliver an address before some educational institution. No doubt much of this work, which must be very arduous, could be dispensed with if the Doctor chose, but in his anxiety to further the interests of the University, he cheerfully assumes it. There is a growing appreciation of the Chancellor throughout the state, and it is time that his good services should be more openly acknowledged. CONSIDERABLE interest is felt in the college world with regard to the announcement made by the trustees of Adelbert College, Cleveland, O., that no more lady students would be admitted. This action was taken on the appointment of Rev. F. C. Haydn, who is opposed to co-education, as president of the institution. Adelbert has long been considered as a shining example of co-education. The trustees do not wish to be understood as condemning co-education in itself, or in any other place, but they are "satisfied that the existence of co-education in the institution is a hindrance to its highest success in educating young men, and thus fulfilling the purposes for which it was founded, and its endowment mainly secured." They, however, "place upon record their sympathy with all efforts for the higher education of women," and request the new president to take such steps as shall seem expedient to establish such a college for young women. In making these statements with regard to co-education in itself, or in any other place, and co-education being a hindrance to that school, the trustees seem somewhat inconsistent. It is fair to assume that the elements which exist in that school exist in all educational schools, and if co-education is a hindrance to that school it is a hindrance to all such schools. Almost universal experience in educating the sexes has established the superiority of co-education. That nothing is gained by isolating the sexes is evident from the workings of non-co-educational schools, generally notorious for their inferiority both as to morals and scholarship. No doubt some reasons may be urged against co-education, but they have far less weight than the reasons for it. It is possible, where college discipline is somewhat lax, that a community of students of both sexes may indulge in social pleasures to the neglect of school work, but this negligence is by no means a necessary accompaniment of co-education. Whatever may be true of Adelbert, we can say with certainty that co-education in our institution has been anything but a hindrance to the successful education of either young men or young women. THE State University has the largest and best library of any educational institution in the West.— Atchison Champion. In the early history of our institution, the annual catalogue used to give a lengthy account of the attractions of the several departments, and their facilities for instruction. But referring to library was a short paragraph kept in stereotype by the state printer. "Library: a nucleus has been formed to which accessions will be made from time to time." Those accessions were made slowly, and consisted chiefly in private donations and government publications sent by thoughtful Congressmen. The tardy recognition of an indifferent legislature was finally awakened to a small extent. The library is now distributed over three rooms and has been carefully rearranged. It numbers about nine thousand volumes, and represents every department of science, literature and art. We may well be proud of it. But the library is still painfully wanting in many respects. It is, after all, but a nucleus of what it ought to be. Even many of the standard works are wanting. No department is sufficiently represented, and in each the most recent publications are much needed. Efforts should be made to get all the back numbers of all the more important periodicals and have them bound. A good, complete history, is essential beyond all things to a University. We hope that the legislature will have its attention called to this matter, and that it will respond as liberally as it has in other matters pertaining to the University. The most painful invitation I have received for a long time, was one to evolve from my inner consciousness a few reminiscences for the benefit (?) of the readers of the Courier. I say painful, and painful in a two-edged way; first, in my misgivings as to the probable effect of my compliance upon those readers; and second, that the time should come so soon; a time to be dreaded and shunned; a time to be put off, and off, and off; when that compliance should have to take the character of a reminiscence. Remember! What an idle word Idle because so unnecessary. Remember—as if we could ever forget The very word is a mockery. "Ah well do I remember it was in the bleak"—September, when as a ver dant fledgeling I first came to the University of Kansas. How well do I remember my first official interview with a member of the faculty! I was with Miss Kate Stephens. I don't know what Miss Stephens had done; but it fell to her lot to initiate me into the mysteries of the classification. She seemed not at all composed or frightened into any un maidenly embarassment when I am nounced myself a candidate for the Sophomore class. Nor did she offer me two chairs and a footstool when I told her I was a high school graduate She seemed as cool and imperturable as Professor Marsh ever dared to be as if it were her daily occupation to interview such dignified personages as high school graduates. I well remember the dramatic self possession with which she disposed of my classification—a nonchalance approaching sang froid and only equalled by the celerity of the operation. And so, as a Sophomore—more moros than sophos by a great deal—I entered the arena of University life. There were giants in those days. I soon found that out and, as small potatoes always do, I soon sifted down to the bottom where I ever after remained in a condition of semicomatose obscurity, unbent or unbroken by the storms that swept above my head. I say there were giants in those days—with all the remarkable improvement in many directions, during the last four or five years, and as gigantic as have been the strides which the University has made, it has turned out—that is, with a diploma—no such vigorous intellects, no such original, brainy thinkers, as it did four or five years ago. From '81 to '84 was the golden age of K. S. U. Read the roll of the graduates since '84, and you will find among them no Leach; you will find among them no Stocks; you will find among them no Rifle; no Scott; no Meservey; no Little—Little, but oh, my! a truly multum in parvo. I do not desire to seize this occasion "to point a moral and adorn a tale." But this undeniable degeneration has somewhat, it has much, of significance. Why is it so? Where lie the causes? A new generation has sprung up; but it is not as stalwart and robust as that of the old days. New faces and as bright fill the halls—when the chancellor has gone to Topeka. But they are not the faces of the old days. There is something wrong somewhere. Perhaps the feeling of patriarchy (excuse the word!) which the idea of "reminiscences" aroused in me, inclines me to take a more pessimistic or, at least, conservative view than necessary. But certain it is that the work turned out by the kindergarten innovations of the new order, the frills and flutes of "culchaw" can not stand the test of comparison with the handiwork of the old ways and the old boys. And, like Josh Billings, "How I dew long fur them good old days." For the old times and the old ways—and the old girls! FRANK MARSHALL. OROPHILIAN TO THE FRONT. OROPHILIAN TO THE FRONT. One of the most commendable act of this term was that of the reawaken ing of Orophilian L. S.on last Friday, by a few of her older and more loyal members. As is well known, Orophilian has, for the past few months, owing to the afternoon recitations, been tottering in the balance between life and death, and a great many had despaired of her revival, but owing to the effort of a few of the most enthusiastic members she has been righted in her course and bids fair, with the cooperation of the faculty and students, for good sailing, in the future, as of yore. After the installation of H. F. M. Bear as President, the following program was presented: Declamation, Ella Funk; Extemporaneous, T. F. Doran and Joe Ralston; Orations, W. T. Reed and C. E. Street. The main feature of the session was, however, the debate on the question: Resolved, that a system of direct taxation is preferable to one indirect. This momentous question was decided in favor of the negative, the affirmative being sustained by W. T. Caywood and Joe I. Ralston; the negative by F. E. Reed and E. E. Squires. The society was favored with a piano solo by Miss Nellie Franklin, which was much appreciated by all. The entire program was marked by the spirit and enthusiasm with which each one performed his part, and it was very apparent that Orophilian was far from being dead, but only slumbering. WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY. Let every one who ever was, or ever expects to be a member of Orophilian, turn out and assist those who have begun this good work. F. THE usual exercises, commemorative of the birth of the father of our country, were held in the Chapel, Wednesday morning, at 10 o'clock. Partly owing to lack of announcement, and partly owing to the lack of proper spirit on the part of our students the attendance was not so great as it should have been. After the invocation by Chancellor Lippincott, the "Overture to Preciosa," by Weber, was rendered by Prof. MacDonald and Mr. Manning. Justin D. Bowersock, representative of the Freshman class, then delivered a declaration entitled "Washington's Greatness," by Wm. Everett. This was Mr. Bowersock's first appearance in public before a University audience, and it was alike creditable to his class and to himself. His delivery was earnest and collected. The next member on the program, Miss Nettie Goodell, who represented the Sophomore class, gave a declaration entitled "Success of Democracy," by J. R. Lowell. Miss Goodell's selection was an excellent one and her presentation of it was favorably received. Following this, Prof. MacDonald and Mr. Manning rendered "Priesc's March," by Mendelsohn. Asa D. Kennedy, one of the representatives of the Junior class, then read an essay entitled "Two Decisive Battles." The first was fought and won in the interest of our Republic, when Washington refused the offer to become king. The second was ended when he quieted the seditious murmurs and intrigues of his soldiers by telling them, with a heart full of feeling, "my eyes have grown dim in the services of my country, but I have never doubted her justice." Mr. Kennedy's delivery was very good, and his essay showed careful preparation. The second representative of the Junior class, Miss Susan F. Eddy, read an essay on "The Man Washington." His was a life of punctuality. He was intellectual, hospitable, and prudent. Firm in his convictions, he yet made his will subservient to his reason. His was a well balanced mind. Miss Eddy's essay was written in an entertaining style and was read in an easy and pleasant manner. The audience was then favored with a beautiful selection, "Jubel Overture," by Weber. Winfield S. Allen, the representative of the Senior class, next delivered an oration, entitled "Washington's Country." From England we gained indomitable will and sterling integrity; from Holland, love of country; from the Huguenots, force and vivacity; from Scandinavia, a spirit of aggression; from Germany, an unconquerable will; from the Scotch and Irish, hatred of tyranny and stern fidelity to religious convictions. The texture was, and is, pre-eminently English. In the character of Washington is found an exemplification of all the true qualities of an American. If the wish of this nation was returned, it would be that its life might be as pure as the life of "the father of his country" was before it. Mr. Allen's oration was well written, and was delivered in an easy, forcible manner. He is to be congratulated on representing the Seniors so ably. The music furnished by the Department of Music was up to the usual high standard. Rhea plays at the Opera House Monday night. Her reputation is her best advertisement.

The locals are also bright and spicy. The Penn Chronicle is about the poorest excuse for a college paper we have yet received. It only contains one or two respectable articles and they were clipped. The Lehigh Burr devotes itself entirely to literary matter and editorials. Although these departments are not excellel by any of our exchanges, it looks rather odd to see a college paper without any locals or personalis at all. The Industrialist of Manhattan contains some very interesting statistics on the industrial condition of Kansas. The North-Western contains a very interesting essay on "The Inter-Relation of the Sciences." It also contains the announcement of a Pan-Hellenic banquet. There is a very sheeky and noisy little sheet printed down at Topeka. Only by courtesy can we speak of it as a college paper. We have looked it through very carefully once or twice—we are sorry to say—and do not blame the students of Washburn College for refusing to support it. Nevertheless it "yaups" away at the K. S. U. in its imbecile way, as though it were enjoying life to the fullest extent. We suggest that it be choked off and sent home to its maruma.—Hesperian.

Cole in this city yesterday evening, February 7, by Judge J. W. Gregory, Clarence E. Wood Mr. Wood is the son of County Superintendent Mrs. Annie S. Wood, and has been for some time a resident of south Finney (now Haskell) county, where he published the Loco Motive at one time. The bride is a handsome young lady who is also a resident of Haskell county. The young couple took the train last night for Lower California, on the Pacific Coast, in the dominion of Mexico, some seventy miles south of San Diego, where they expect to make their future home. In other words, they go to become Mexicans. While the Sentinel does not like to see desirable citizens going away to an unknown coast, yet our best wishes follow the young couple. Success and happiness. — Garden City Sentinel. LAWRENCE, DOUGLAS Co., KAN, Feb. 19, 1888. We, the members of Douglas County Horticultural Society, being impressed with the importance of preserving all of the flora of the State of Kansas, which by virtue of cultivation of the soil is rapidly disappearing, and believing that facilities for the practical study of our Western Plants would be of much importance (not only of our own but of adjacent States) and feeling the need of such an element for the growth and development of the horticultural industry: Therefore be it Resolved, That we request the Regents of the University of Kansas, to petition the Legislature for an appropriation for the purpose of establishing a Botanical garden, which shall be under the supervision of the Natural History, Pharmacy and Medical departments of said institution. Courier would like to see the above accomplished. Prof. Snow thought this was a move in the right direction. The "The Journal of Proceedings and Addresses of the National Educational Association,"of 1887, is just out of press. It fills a large volume of eight hundred and thirty closely printed pages, and is complete and comprehensive in every respect, even to a carefully prepared list of annual members of the association. The addresses, papers and discussions of important educational problems are very interesting and instructive reading, and, coming as they do from the most prominent educators of the United States, deserve careful perusal by all who are interested in educational matter. This journal, the preparation of which must have been an enormous task, was compiled under the direction and superintendance of Prof. James H. Canfield, the able and energetic secretary of the association. The book was printed at Salem, Massachusetts, but notwithstanding his great distance from the printers, and the many difficulties and disadvantages which so great a distance presented to the management of publication, all the work was directed by our worthy professor, and all the proof was critically read and carefully corrected by him. The attractive appearance of the book, and the interesting arrangement of the subject matter, are abundant evidence of Prof. Canfield's excellent work. O. L.

On Monday evening, next, M'lle Rhea, the famous French actress, appears at Bowersock's Opera House, in one of her most delightful impersonations, presenting the original Parisian version of "Frou Frou," and appearing in the title role. M'lle Rhea, who has a world wide reputation as an actress of genius, is a favorite with all the theatre goers of Lawrence, and a cordial greeting awaits her appearance. M'lle has always been a great favorite with the students. Last year, in Montreal, the students of the Magill-Lavell University, five hundred in number, attended in a body, carrying a French flag and a huge bouquet of flowers which they presented to the actress. She thanked them in a neat speech and made them a present of a copy of Shakespeare's works. This year the students of Cornell, at Ithaca, N.Y., also attended the theatre in a body and serenaded M'lle Rhea, at her hotel after the performance. M'lle Rhea expresses herself as delighted with their enthusiasm, and always speaks of her "student friends" in the highest praise. Prof. Loisette's Memory Discovery. Prof. Loisette's new system of memory training, taught by correspondence at 337 Fifth Avenue, New York, seems to supply a general want. He has had two classes at Yale of 200 each, 250 at Meridian, 300 at Norwich, 100 Columbia Law University, 400 at Weihai 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. CARMEAN & HARBAUGH Have the Popular Livery Stable of Lawsuces EVERYTHING FIRST CLASS.
