King for a joint debate upon the following proposition: "Resolved, That a tariff levied for the sole purpose of protection to American industries is unconstitutional." The challenge has been accepted, and the argument is not to involve the principle of free trade and protection, nor anything in regard to which is the best policy for the government, but is to be confined to the legal question as to whether Congress has the right, under the constitution, to levy protection duties.
A Story By A Kansas Woman.
A Volume of K, S. U. Poems.
The Story of "Esther, the Gentile," which is being printed in the Sunday Capital, written by Mrs. J. K. Hudson, has been printed in book form. It is a well written, interesting story, of more than ordinary power, having the great Mormon iniquity as a basis. It is a Kansas book, written by a Kansas woman,
There is quite a commendable scheme on foot for the publication of a volume of University poems. The volume is to be edited by Prof. Marsh, and will be contributed to chiefly by Profs. A.G.Canfield and W.H.Carruth, the Gleed brothers, Jenks and Miss Mamie Manley. These authors have written many pretty things, and the collection of their poems into a volume meets the hearty approbation of the students, and the willing manner in which they subscribe for the volume shows their appreciation of the writers. Every student should procure a volume.
and published by a Kansas publishing house, (Geo. W. Crane & Co.) It is printed in plain type, on heavy laid paper, with handsome cloth binding. The price is $1.00 per volume, sent postage paid, to any address. Orders may be sent to Geo. W. Crane & Co.; or to Publisher Daily Capital, Topeka, Kansas. For sale also at all book stores.
Miss Mabel Gore, who will be remembered by all patrons of the concerts, will play two solos, and will also take part in three numbers for two pianos, with Prof. McDonald. Prof. Aldrich and Miss Georgia Brown will furnish vocal numbers. The admission to all parts of the hall will be twenty-five cents. Let the students of K. S. U. wait no second bidding but rally enthusiastically and en masse to the support of the Department of Music in this, its new undertaking.
Next Tuesday evening the Department of Music will give its twenty-fourth recital in University Hall. For the first time since these concerts were commenced, an admission fee will be charged. The Department has worked its way for the past four years with almost no financial support other than that derived from the fees of its students, purchasing its own instruments, and otherwise paying all expenses, which have not been light. The numerous concerts, recitals, and lectures which have been furnished students and public without charge, have been maintained at the expense of the Dean of the Department. An effort is now being made to secure a first-class grand piano for University Hall, and the proceeds of Tuesday's concert will go towards the payment for the same. Everyone knows how indispensable such an instrument is to the complete success of any concert, and how inadequate the pianos are which the Department has heretofore been compelled to use.
The Unity Club devotes this evening to the study of Oliver Wendell Holmes. Each member is expected to give a quotation of from fifteen to twenty lines and to name his favorite poem among those of the poet under discussion.
Prof. James Canfield went to Topeka, Monday to arrange with the Santa Fe for the excursion of the International Teachers' Association to San Francisco in July.
Barse, Gates, Wright, Dexter, Snodd, McGonigle and Smith are the Kansas City Phi Delts down for the party this evening.
At the Jeffersonian banquet Monday night John Sullivan toasted, it is said, with a speech two hours long. There can be no doubt that he sells real estate in Kansas City.

From the Press of P. T. FOLEY.
Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas,
as second-class matter.
It seems that when some editors of fourth or fifth class newspapers are at their wit's end for subject matter, they are in the habit of venting their spleen in watery effusions concerning the State University, or some of its professors.
Recently the Troy Chief tried to inaugurate a kick against Prof. J. H. Canfield, because he dares to express his Free Trade views; and after hashing up a lot of nonsensical bosh, its feeble effort expired in the statement that it was in favor of a man for governor who will pledge himself to appoint a board of regents for the State University, who will promise to give Prof. J. H. Canfield his walking papers instantly. The direct incentive to this little kick is that Prof. J. H. Canfield is claimed to have written some articles for the Abilene Gazette on British Free Trade theories.
Suppose the Professor did write these articles. Why should his connection with the State University make it heresy for him to express his opinions on any open question, in any paper, in the same manner as any other citizen? Because the majority of this State favor protection it does not follow that any of its citizens, even in the capacity of public teachers, should keep silent their own convictions on the question, and none but narrow-minded partisans would demand it. It is well known that in nearly every State University in this country the professors of Political Economy are Free Traders, notwithstanding the fact that the public sentiment is generally in favor of protection. Besides, Professor Canfield does not urge his own views upon his students, as the Troy Chief is inclined to suppose; but fairly sets forth both sides of the question and leaves his pupils to draw their own conclusions, as every good teacher in Economics should do. Surely, there is nothing censurable in this. It is to be hoped that the day is far distant when the State University will be deprived of his influence. These chronic whiners can do little
harm, but it would be a credit to them to be sure they have something to whine about before they offend the good sense of the public.
PERSONALITY, CRITICISM AND SOME OTHER THINGS.
To the Editor of The Courier:
Do I believe in personality in journalism? Of course I do. I believe in it just as I believe in honesty and courage in the press. In fact, personality is the product of courage and honesty. Impersonality is the result of cowardice. An editor who lacks stamina and trucks to everybody and everything will invariably produce an impersonal paper—a milk and water paper. A man who is culpable or timorous, and a woman who is super-sensitive and affected, will, invariably, protest against personal journalism.
Mind you, I am talking about things American. In Russia or Germany, I think, if I could be induced to publish a paper, it would be impersonal—very impersonal. I'd write about the weather and the stars; and if I had anything to say about the Czar, I'd do it in just the nicest sort of way my knowledge of the language would allow. But here in America we are different. We want things spicy; we want them to the point; we want our news fresh; we want things called by their right names. That is, the public does. But the few goody-goody, supersanctimonious, (I might add, super-silly) people, will protest against it. Every time one of these folk has his foibles pricked by the reporter's pencil, he straightway wails against personal journalism. And the editors of those papers which never assert an opinion upon which there can be any dispute, or give a bit of news in a decisive way—they are continually lamenting the taste that craves personality.
There are many misdemeanors of which newspapers can be guilty. The capital crime, however, is stupidity. Ask any newspaper manager what element of a newspaper contributes most to its popularity and brings to the counting room the most dollars. He will tell you, personality.
The impersonal paper is not only stupid and cowardly, but it is noxious. By generalizing instead of particularizing it will cast a suspicion on the many and remove guilt from the culprit. Instead of saying: "Smith', a student from Lawrence, was, last Monday, caught pilfering handkerchiefs and gloves from overcoats in the corridors of the university," it will say, "a student in one of the higher classes of the State University and the son of very respectable parents, was discovered purloining various articles from garments hung in the corridors, a short time since." Now this indefinite way of putting it simply casts suspicion on every upper-classman who may be of respectable parentage. Or, if circumstances are sufficiently well known to bring the guilt within the range of half a dozen, then five fellows are unjustly suspected.
Another thing—criticism. Of course those who protest against personality protest against criticism. Nine times out of ten they do not know what they are talking about when they protest against either.
I go to an opera. The next morning I review the performance in the paper. I tell you the libretto was a dull lot of stuff, the music a wretched composition, the setting of the piece shabby and the singing terrific. You recognize my statements as being the truth and praise me for writing them. Next evening I drop in at Mr. X—'s pretty residence for a chat. In the next issue of the paper I tell you how execrable was the music I heard, what daubs he has on his walls to palm off as choice paintings, how he has had an agent stock his library with valuable works of whose contents he has not the faintest idea, and what a fearful bore he himself is in conversation. This is the reverse of the truth. But suppose it were true and I should publish it? Mr. X— would boot me black and blue, and you would clap your hands while he was doing it.
Here it is, where nine out of ten who protest against "personal journalism" do not know what they are talking about. They confuse personality and criticism with privacy.
Now, why is it proper for me to injure an opera and its singers by exposing their faults, and so wrong to hurt Mr. X—by exposing his sham pretenses? Simply this: One is a public, the other this private matter.
If Mr. X— puts his pictures up for general exhibition and charges admission fees, it is my privilege and duty to say what I think about them. As long as they remain a private household collection, I must keep my hands off, my pen quiet.
When she appeared on a public platform to sing, however, she invited public criticism; and the fact that she had not practiced made her effort the more reprehensible.
Those who ought to do not always understand this distinction, let me illustrate: A few years ago a state oratorical contest was held at Topeka, as most of my readers will remember. It was a public exhibition and the public paid to hear it. In the program was a song by a quartette of ladies from Washburn College. Now they may have been very estimable young ladies, but they did not know any more about singing than a hog does about the transit of Venus. Of all the hideous, see-saw out of tune and out of joint singing you ever heard, that was the worst. It was so awfully bad as to be right funny. In writing up the contest I told what sort of singing we had And, what do you think! The Washburn paper went frantic over my criticism. It did not deny the truth of my assertions. Oh, no! It simply said that the young ladies did not pretend to be professionals; that they hadn't had much practice; and the fact that they were ladies would have prevented anyone with the first instincts of a gentleman from criticising them.
The editor who wrote that didn't understand the first principles of journalism. He couldn't distinguish between publicity and privacy. Had I been calling on any of the four ladies in question, and she had inflicted as vicious singing on me as she had on the public, I should have borne it with fortitude and silence.
Right here, let me say another thing. Whoever claims for woman, exemption from criticism on account of her sex, does her a gross injustice. He virtually asserts her inferiority to man, and need of sympathy. It is false Woman is in every way the equal of man—in capability and performance.. Where he excels her in one direction she surpasses him in some other. She is, therefore, competent to stand on her own merits and receive criticism on the same standard that it is adjudged to him. Yet here was a paper, representing a co-educational institution built on the equality of the sexes, claiming for their ladies immunity from criticism, because, forsooth, they were ladies!
Everything public is a subject for press personality and press criticism. Public officials, public acts, public entertainments, public institutions. A man "runs for office." As a candidate before the people, everything that touches the performance of the office he seeks, directly or indirectly, is open to public comment. The acts and habits which were heretofore veiled by privacy are now open for inspection. The man who cannot stand this test, should not seek public service.
SMITH.
I believe college papers have the same rights and are subject to the same restrictions as other papers. In private institutions of learning, teachers are private individuals, and a college newspaper is an imposibility. In State Universities and institutions of a public character, as Harvard, Yale and Cornell, professors, presidents and regents are public representatives subject to public criticism. The college papers of such institutions will be bright and vigorous, just as far as they are personal, free and honest in their criticism. When a professor seeks immunity from student criticism, or endeavors to suppress student sentiment as expressed in their college journals, he confesses thereby his own unfitness for the position he holds. And whenever a college editor resigns the right to speak freely his honest thoughts, he thereby condemns his paper to failure.
Recently a correspondent contributed to the Courier an article on chapel attendance. From statistical figures it is very evident that chapel attendance in this institution is very much on the decline; and he, therefore, set forth the idea that students should take the matter into their own hands, as is done in many of the eastern colleges. He also stated that if they did not show more interest in this matter, chapel attendance would have to be made compulsory.
are reasons why matter pertains to chapel exercises are as they
Now this is all very well. Christ ian students ought to feel it their duty to make the chapel services more interesting by their regular attendance. But it seems that there
The writer of that article is probably acquainted with a certain professor whom we all very much admire for his splendid energies. We believe that the decline which has laments is in no small degree due to certain innovations which that professor has succeeded in introducing Chapel was formerly much more largely attended because there were more attractions. Not least among them were the chapel rhetoricals for which that professor substituted an arrangement far superior. (?] Formerly all students recited in the forenoon; now many recite in the afternoon. There is also more study required than formerly. So the fact that chapel services are now poorly attended does not argue that the students are essentially unchristian, which was indirectly intimated in the writer's communication. As to making attendance in chapel compulsory we believe that the faculty and regents are too well acquainted with the spirit of the students to attempt that. Under the present management it would be unjust. And what moral good would it do to compel the attendance of those who are unwilling or may be weak in the faith? And then, you know, that professor wanted to have purely devotional exercises attended by willing worshippers. Surely the two or three professors and the dozen students who attend afford favorable conditions for purely devotional worship. By the way, it strikes us that the faculty might set the students a good example in attending also, for they are not more busy than most of the students. Evidently the present arrangement, in securing good chapel attendance, is a failure.
The Cornell Club, of Buffalo, dined at the same place as the Harvard Club, the other evening, and, in the course of the dinner, sent in this communication: "The youngest to the oldest university; compliments and best wishes from Cornell." To which the following reply was made: "Your thoughtful salutation is gratefully received and heartily reciprocated by us all, including the president of Harvard University."

The use of ice, once regarded as a luxury, has become almost universally an imperative necessity To make ice the most servicable, a refrigerator is needed, and the qualities sought in a refrigerator are the preservation of perishable foods and an economical use of ice. The economical use of ice depends entirely upon the principle involved in the construction of the refrigerator and in utilizing all the cold air.
The principal causes of decay in meats and fruits are dampness and varying temperature, causing the expansion and contraction of tissues which hasten decay, hence a dry atmosphere and uniform temperature conduct to their preservation. These results can be obtained only by a perfect circulation of the air in the refrigerator and its condensation in the ice chamber. The Alaska, the world renowned, is constructed upon strictly scientific principles, by which low temperature and dryness of air are naturally and inevitably obtained. There no longer exists in the minds of the public, any doubt that the Alaska Refrigerator does produce dry cold air in its provision chamber. Practical use in various countries and climates has proven this theory to be correct. The scientific construction of the Alaska CREATES A THOROUGH AND CONSTANT CIRCULATION, by which all vapors arising from foods in the provision chamber are condensed in the ice pan, and run off with the melting ice. Most refrigerators are so constructed that vapors from various kinds of food are chilled to bead drops of water in the provision chamber. Such refrigerators are always damp and deleterious to health. In the Alaska, by perfect circulation of the air, the vapors are drawn through the flues into the ice chest, and condensed there. Hence, by removing the vapor, the odor is removed. The provision chamber never coats from condensation, but is always clean and free from foul odor, being entirely free from mould and mildew. The Alaska received the highest award for economy of ice, using only nine-seventeenths as much as one leading competitor, and only twelve-seventeenth as much as its best competitor, receiving the highest certificate of award as being the best refrigerator for butchers' or family use.

Athenaeum met last Friday at the usual time and place. Owing to the drawing lecture at the same hour, some of the members were not present at roll call, but arrived soon afterward. The Society is well attended, its membership increasing and the interest manifested is surprising. The program rendered was a credit to the participants and to the University. In the current event essay, written upon the "Late Vacation," the writer maintained, not without argument, that the vacation resulted in detriment to the students. The members of the Society all being students, had little to say against vacations.
Athenaeum.
A lively debate ensued, upon the question, "Resolved, That education has done as much for civilization as Christianity," in which both sides were well sustained.

Phi Delta Theta.
The reception given by the Phi Delts in the A. O. U. W. hall last Friday evening, was a most enjoyable affair. Dancing and social conversation occupied the evening until about 11 o'clock when supper was served in the hall by Harris. A few toasts were responded to and an extremely amusing original farce called "An Original Instance or Spiking in Old Athens" was presented.
The presence of some Kansas City alumni Phis and several of the correspondent members of this chapter added to the pleasure of the party. Dancing to the music of the Mandolin Club was continued until a late hour.
Those present were: Mrs. T. S. Ridge, of Kansas City; Miss Curtiss, of Fulton, Mo., Mrs. Prof. McDonald, Misses Rudolph, Gertrude Crotty, Thrasher, Pickering, Henshaw, Taggart, Millie Crotty, Simpson, Atwood, Scott, Bartell, Price, Chapman, Fincher, Sutliff, Bistline, O'Bryan, Lizzie Wilder, Love, McFarland, Franklin, Hoadley, Kate Wilder, Manley, McKinnon, Wemple, Walker, Howe; Mr. T.

Law.
As the time for graduation draws near, the Senior is often accosted by curious inquirers, who, with an affected recognition of the superiority of the member approached, ask whom he considers the second smartest man in the class. Or, "Will A. B. or B. C. make a successful lawyer?" For one to answer these questions compels him to go into an analysis of the various members of his class which is rather a delicate matter and may be only approximated at best. Here we judge them as they are, quick and ready to respond, reticent and stammering, or able to marshall their thoughts and frame the mind to be obedient to the occasion; or, by the scenes of legal gladiatorship in moot courts and Kent Clubs where intellect meets intellect and generates the latent sparks of genius. But when the student has quited these scenes of defeat and triumph and the incentives and excitement have subsided, and he enters upon the practice of his profession,
and begins the real battle or life, the struggle with men, who can foreshadow the result? It may be that the one, who will now be pointed out to you as the probable "failure" of the class, will disappear for a time into seeming obscurity, only to rise again above the surface, amid the applause of the populace, while the smart fellow will sit in his office from day to day, a very common advocate and between the times of his briefs which may be likened to angels' visits, indulge in day dreams of success in the future which never comes. And still another who would have been portrayed to you as the least worthy of honors, may, by means of family connections, accident, or opportunity, outshine them all.
The Courier was a little previous in announcing Judge Nevison's decision which was not delivered until last week. His decision, which was in favor of the Seniors, was to the effect that Congress has power to grant a privilege to bridge the Kansas River.
The board of regents, at their last meeting, granted the Law Department a day in commencement week, Tuesday, and the laws, instead of having a representative on collegiate's day and a class day, will have a commencement of their own. Six appointments will be made by the faculty from the Senior class.
The Kent Club, at its meeting Thursday night, on account of extra work among the Seniors, adjourned until September next.
Prof. Summerfield was called, on Monday by telegram, to the bedside of an uncle who was reported as dying at Litchfield, Illinois.
Prof. Herbert B. Adams, of Johns Hopkins University, writes to Prof. Canfield, acknowledging receipt of photograph of the class in Constitutional and Political History, and of the circular lately issued, setting forth the work of the Department of Political Science. "Thanks for the seminary photograph, which I shall exhibit to my seminary this night. Your scheme of work strikes me as first-rate." Similar expressions of approval have been received from other and recognized authorities in methods of historical study.

Class day should be done away with. The exercises are getting decidedly stale and wearisome, and very few of the students really enjoy them. The class history and prophesy always create hard feeling, and there is no instance on record of a senior shedding a tear over the dissolution of his dear class, as depicted by the valedictorian; for the graduates are generally only too glad to get out into the world away from the University. So little class spirit is manifested in K. S. U. that a class day is quite uncalled for. Away with it. Let the Ann Arbor plan of inviting some prominent speaker to occupy the time be adopted. In this way a lecture, interesting and instructive to all, would be substituted for a number of short, funny (?) speeches which are always more or less tiresome, both to the people and the students themselves.

as second-class matter.
Several stalwart sub-freshies have a bad habit of going down the south flight of stairs on a tear, apparently with the intention of making as much noise as possible. For a University student, such conduct is simply outrageous. Perhaps, some day these few boisterous preps, will awaken to a sense of propriety and go from one lecture room to another in the deliberate manner of a gentlemanly student. We don't like to say hard things, but this sportiveness should be stopped. Surely, if these students would for a moment think, they would not be guilty of such gross behavior.
Now the students might not only add to the collection but to its interest. In many of the larger eastern colleges it is customary for the graduating classes to present the classical department with one or
On Professor Wilcox's bulletin board, is a Greek calendar having a quotation from some ancient Greek author for each day of the year. Many students, as well as professors, are very much interested in reading these quotations every day, and some of them are perfect gems. Last Monday some thoughtless youth conceived it to be hugely smart to tear off a whole week's quotations in advance. Just where the smartness comes in is, perhaps, known to the offender, but, surely no one else is likely to appreciate it. Let not this offense be repeated.
The classical department is now in possession of a splendid collection of ancient Greek and Latin statuary. This collection, when once set up in the classical museum, will not only meet a long felt want in the classical course, but will also be of interest to everybody. It is, however, by no means complete. In fact, the collection is but a nucleus of what it ought to be. Additions, of course will be made from time to time, but judging from the chariness of the State Legislature thus far, the collection will not increase very fast.
more pieces of fine statuary, thus leaving very acceptable tokens of their loyalty for their Alma Mater, and increasing tenfold the interest of the students in this line, since around these tokens cluster pleasant associations. This, no doubt, is a new idea here, but it is nevertheless entitled to consideration. Why might not this custom be adopted here? There certainly should be no want of loyal spirit for this institution, nor would the cost be a serious consideration.
Formerly our graduating classes lavished foolish sums, in order to make the exercises of the commencement week imposing. Favorites on the programs were sometimes literally loaded with costly wreathes and bouquettes. This custom, we believe, has been wisely discontinued. But a small fraction of such expenditures would buy one or more fine statues or busts which would form most interesting additions to the museum. Nor need such statuary be for the classical department alone. It would be just as acceptable to the departments of modern languages. We take even a greater interest in the busts of modern authors and other noteworthies, with whom we are better acquainted. Many students expend great sums in fitting up and beautifying fraternity rooms. Alumni make liberal donations to the same effect, and few students are any the wiser for it. And this is all very appropriate. But why not show some such zeal toward the University where many might be benefitted? One would naturally think that the first fruits of loyalty are due to the Alma Mater.
Thomas Brower Peacock has just presented the library with a copy of his new book, "Poems of the Plains and Songs of the Solitudes." It is a neat octavo volume of about three hundred and fifty pages, bound in blue cloth and quite prettily decorated. The frontispiece is an engraving of the author.
The volume opens with a preface containing a short biographical sketch of Mr. Peacock together with critical remarks upon the character of his poems, written by Prof. Thom as Danleigh Suplee, A. M., Ph.D. F. R. S., of New York. Prof. Suplee says: "In form, Mr. Peacock's poetry is not conventional. One of the first and strongest impressions one gets from its perusal, is a certain freedom from the restraint of regulation poetry which is seventywhere apparent. There is relaxation from those cast-iron rules pertaining to metre and now and then to rhyme which grace the concluding pages of text-books of grammar and composition. * * * He is pre-eminently imaginative—a seer of visions, a dreamer of dreams, a creator of pictures, and whether it be vision or dream, or picture, he sees, and dreams, and creates in a way that is singularly imaginative. * * Mr Peacock is essentially romantic and is never more thoroughly inspired than when singing the praises of true woman." We think that this is all true though perhaps not in the
exact sense in which Prof. Suplee meant it.
The "Poems of the Plains and Songs of the Solitudes" is the fourth volume which Mr. Peacook has published. It contains the poems which appeared in his previous books, carefully revised, with a number of later poems which have appeared, from time to time, in the papers but are now for the first time printed in book form.
Mr. Peacock is probably best known, in Kansas at least, by his "Rhyme of the Border War" which was published in 1880. It excited considerable comment at the time on account of its marked peculiarities. It is a Kansas poem by a Kansas author and deserves to be read, whatever its merits may be.
Mr. Peacock resides in Topeka and was for eight years associate editor of the Kansas Democrat.
The matter of the instruction in elocution received in the University has been greatly discussed. The general tenor of the discussion has been to decide that we seriously lack necessary elocutionary training, yet we believe that a wrong conclusion has been arrived at.
The State Normal, at Emporia, maintains a department of elocution, there being employed an instructor whose only duty is to teach those students who come under her care what she can of elocution. The Professor of English and Oratory at Baker University is a professional elocutionist.
We should be exceedingly sorry to see either one of these, or any other instructor in oratory of similar elocutionary stamp, given a chair in our University. Declamation, declamatory speech, we do not care for: and happily, we have no opportunity to perfect ourselves in such foolishness in the University.
But we do want, we do demand the necessary advice which will enable us to write and speak clearly, strongly and even with beauty. That assistance we can get here. Notice the really marked improvement between Stebbins' work at our local contest and his triumph at Baldwin. His improvement is due to the training received during that short time in the University. He has words of highest praise only, for the methods and teachings of his instructor, the Professor in English.
Our record in the State oratorical contests is satisfactory. We have been victorious in three out of five contests. Then, because we have no professional elocutionist teaching us to mouth our words and to scatter ourselves over the rostrum, let us not be troubled; rather have we reason to congratulate ourselves.
Theorists for many years have attempted to invent and bring into use a language that can be understood the world over. The latest attempt is probably the most successful and is attracting no little notice. The inventor, Johsun Schleyer, of Constanz, calls his new language Volapuek, from its own vocabulary: vol, world, and puek, speech. Its advocates claim that a person can converse and correspond in it after a
study of only a few days. The great argument urged in its favor is that it would benefit international trade and communication. The merchant or statesman, instead oflea rning the language of every country with which he has dealings, would only have to study one, and that an easy language. The idea is a beautiful one; but we insist that it is as utterly impracticable now as it always has been and always will be. A language with no nation to cherish and propagate it; with no literature to attract study; with no traditions to interest even the curious, can hardly grow into vigorous life through the efforts of the comparatively few who would find it advantageous.
There is a little book, written recently by the Rev. Josiah Strong; and entitled "Our Country," that every lover of the United States ought to read. The facts brought out there will ensipe him with new love for his land. Building on the facts there proved, one can hardly doubt that the English is destined to be the language of the world and of the future. It is spoken by the two greatest estates of all time—the United States and Great Britain. The English-speaking people rule one-third of the earth's surface. They possess nearly all the inventive genius and enterprise there is in the world. They possess the only lands having room for more population. They are attracting all races to them and assimilating them. They are controlling all the centers of trade and binding together all parts of the earth with their commerce. Already foreigners have recognized the fact, if they wish to be abreast with the civilization, the trade, the enterprise of the world, the first thing to do is to learn the English language; the next, to associate themselves with Anglo-Saxon energy.—University Quarterly.
A great deal of space has, of late, been devoted by college journals to the discussion of the recently invented language, Volapuek. It is a subject of special interest to educational institutions, since its adoption or rejection will depend greatly upon their influence. If it is adopted and an attempt is made at its establishment, they must teach it if it comes into general use. Arguments have been brought forward both in favor of and against it, but the majority of college journals seem inclined to think it impracticable. The above clipping is, in brief, a fair expression of their views upon the subject, and, we think, contains some good ideas.
The great obstacle in the way of an artificial language proving a success is the difficulty of securing its universal adoption. If it is not generally used, it not only totally fails in its object, but even serves to further complicate the difficulty which it is intended to avoid by adding another language, used only by a few, to the already large number in existence. A language cannot be created; it must grow. No people can be forced to adopt a language in a day, or a year. They must grow up with it, and learn to love it as their mother tongue. Now if a single people cannot be brought, within a reasonable length of time, to adopt a language as their own, much less can it, within a few years, be made the language of the world. As the above writer has said, a language, to become widely known and generally
used, must have a fostering nation behind it to propagate it and give it a commanding interest. It will take generations for a few to teach a nation the Volapuek and long years for the nation, after having learned it, to teach the world. If the English language continues to spread with its present rapidity it will become a universal language long before the Volapuek can become a national or even a commercial one.
Prof. Canfield has just placed the library a copy of the official bulletin of the National Teachers' Association. It contains the program and much necessary information relating to the annual meeting of teachers to be held at San Francisco, July 17 to 20. It is a thirty-two page pamphlet, and is by far the neatest bulletin that the Association has ever issued.
To the Editor of The Courier:
We are to have another lecture next Tuesday evening. I am glad to hear it. The public lectures at the University this year have been so few and far between that the students have almost forgotten that we ever had such a thing as a good lecture course.
That the lecture course was dropped, was not, I think, the fault of the faculty. They have always favored its continuance and have put forth earnest efforts to keep it up, even at times contributing from their own salaries to its support. Such contributions were, of course, entirely voluntary and exhibited a generosity on the part of the Faculty which, considering the extremely meagre salaries which the professors recieve, the students have no right to expect. I think too much blame for the discontinuance of the lectures, which we all enjoy so much has been cast upon the Faculty. Had the regents displayed half their zeal for this object we could have long since been enjoying the much desired boon. In their petitions for extra appropriations, I think they have been altogether too modest. If they would a-k for more they would get more. That they have the best interest of the University at heart, I am certain; that they have striven earnestly for its advancement, is evident from the large measure of success which has crowned their efforts. That they have omitted to ask for an appropriation to support a good lecture course is, I believe, because, amid the struggle of the various departments for special attention (which, no doubt, each one of them sadly needs), the importance of such a course and the benefit and advantages which would arise fom it have been over looked.
If this is true, the subject should be given more prominence. If the regents do not realize its importance it should be brought to their attention in a way which will entitle it to serious consideration. Let the students look into this matter and see what can be done. If we are to have a lecture course next year, it is time to begin to agitate the matter.

Facts Worth Your Attention.
The use of ice, once regarded as a luxury, has become almost universally an imperative necessity. To make ice the most servicable, a refrigerator is needed, and the qualities sought in a refrigerator are the preservation of perishable foods and an economical use of ice. The economical use of ice depends entirely upon the principle involved in the construction of the refrigerator and in utilizing all the cold air.
The principal causes of decay in meats and fruits are dampness and varying temperature, causing the expansion and contraction of tissues which hasten decay, hence a dry atmosphere and uniform temperature conduce to their preservation. These results can be obtained only by a perfect circulation of the air in the refrigerator and its condensation in the ice chamber. The Alaska, the world renowned, is constructed upon strictly scientific principles, by which low temperature and dryness of air are naturally and inevitably obtained. There no longer exists in the minds of the public, any doubt that the Alaska Refrigerator does produce dry cold air in its provision chamber. Practical use in various countries and climates has proven this theory to be correct. The scientific construction of the Alaska CREATES A THOROUGH AND CONSTANT CIRCULATION, by which all vapors arising from foods in the provision chamber are condensed in the ice pan, and run off with the melting ice. Most refrigerators are so constructed that vapors from various kinds of food are chilled to bead drops of water in the provision chamber. Such refrigerators are always damp and deleterious to health. In the Alaska, by perfect circulation of the air, the vapors are drawn through the flues into the ice chest, and condensed there. Hence, by removing the vapor, the odor is removed. The provision chamber never coats from condensation, but is always clean and free from foul odor, being entirely free from mould and mildew. The Alaska received the highest award for economy of ice, using only nine-seventeenth as much as one leading competitor, and only twelve-seventeenth as much as its best competitor, receiving the highest certificate of award as being the best refrigerator for butchers' or family use.

Quite a number of new books belonging in the engineering alcove have been added to the library recently.
Prof. Marvin is card-cataloguing the engineering books in the library and has recently placed in the card cases about 2,000 cards.
The art department is preparing for its exhibition of work for the close of the year. This is an innovation and we hope it will prove a success.
Prof. Blake introduced the Hon. Thomas Nelson, Tuesday evening, Mr. Blake was acquainted with Mr. Nelson in Indiana.

A number of the Betas and their friends had a very pleasant hop in the halls of the fraternity last Friday evening. Those present were: Misses Webster, Margie Brown, Morris, Pickering, Price, Crotty, Wemple, Levy, Lyons, Buzzzell, Henshaw, Bartell, Harrison; Messrs. Johnston, Whitman, Fullerton, Morris, F. E. Reed, Buckingham, W. T. Reed, Jacobs, Watson, Kroh, Pickering, Beebe, Lewis.
If there is any one thing more disgusting than another to an audience of intelligent people, it is the petty sniggering and snickering of persons who think that they perceive something unusual or queer in a speaker's manner or remarks. Unfortunately there seems to be a number of students afflicted with the "smiles," as a Lawrence audience which recently assembled to hear a noted lecturer, can testify. A display of meaningless smiles and smirks is not only embarrassing to the speaker, but certainly reflects very little credit on the smilers.
Tuesday evening Hon. Thomas Nelson, of Indiana, ex-minister to Chili and Mexico, lectured in University Hail. His subject, Mexico, was well treated. The part of the lecture considering the political growth and present condition of the country was, perhaps, more interesting than the descriptive portion, but the lecture, as a whole, was well liked. A very good audience considering the bad weather was in attendance. After the lecture, a reception was given Mr. Nelson by the faculty.

entertainment is always looked forward to as the dramatic event of the season and the Club will sustain its reputation this year without a doubt. Last year every seat in the house was sold before the evening of the play and a more thoroughly delighted audience never filled the opera house.
The romantic lyric drama of King
Rene's Daughter will be given with
a cast that cannot be excelled, as
will be seen from the following:
King Rene...JohnV. Zerby.
Count Tristan, of Vandemon...
...A. R. Marsh.
Sir Geoffrey, of Orange, (his friend)
...A. Levy.
Sir Almeric...C. E. Harbaugh.
EBN Jahia (a moorish leech)...
...M. Skyb.
Bertrand...Chas. Chadwick.
Iolanthe (the Blind Daughter of
King Rene). Miss Josie Hutchings.
Martha (wife of Bertrand))...
Mrs. H. L. Schaum. This will be followed by a laughable farce, "The Breach of Promise" by Robertson, author of "David Garrick," "Caste," "School," etc. The parts in this will be taken by members of the Club and others with Zerby, Skyb, Levy and Mrs. Schaum in the principal roles. The various social events will, doubtless, be postponed next Friday so that all may have an opportunity of attending this entertainment, and from the well-known reputation of the Club it is safe to say that it will receive a cordial welcome from the students of K. S. U.

"The faculty appointed J. W. Roberts and S.T.Gilmore to appear on the program for the commencement day of the law department. The appointments meet with general satisfaction on all hands. The Seniors will elect the other representatives.-Lawrence Journal.
The two classes showed their appreciation of Judge Nevison's services by presenting him with a silk hat. A committee from the two classes called upon the Judge, Monday afternoon, and J. W. Roberts as
The Seniors tried to elect the remainder of the commencement program after the faculty had made the appointments but failing to agree among themselves, the faculty took the matter in hand and appointed the following members: Oration, S. P. King; thesis, Harbaugh; discussion, Rice and Pearls. These are all strong men and will render a program well worth having.

Orophilian Society was well attended last Friday, and presented an unusually fine program. Those deserving mention were Miss Funk, Messrs. Bear, F. E. Reed and Wilmoth. By invitation, Prof. Carruth delivered an interesting lecture before the Society on the subject of "The Value of Literary Societies." During the lecture he said that it was a fact worthy of comment and to the credit of the societies that the graduates of this institution who are best known throughout the State, were, during their college course, active members of the literary societies. Also that he did not think, as was generally supposed, that the faculty were indifferent toward society work. But, that if they were asked to encourage the same by a personal request from the society, rather than through the University papers they would undoubtedly show their interest by their presence and willingness to take part in the programs.
The society, acting upon these suggestions, invited Prof. Marsh to deliver a lecture and he has kindly consented to do so. He will lecture this afternoon on the subject, "Harvard Literary Societies." Ed. Franklin will favor the society with a solo. All students, as well as their friends, are cordially invited to be present and receive the benefit of the excellent program prepared for this afternoon.
Last Saturday seemed to be a fine day for playing ball. In the morning a game was played between the rival boarding clubs at the corner of Ohio and Adams street. At the end of the ninth inning the score was 36 to 18 in favor of Monroe club; time 2:13. Cunkle, umpire. In the afternoon a game was played between two picked nines. The first nine was picked by Hogeboom and the second by Bowersock. The game was won by Bowersock's nine with a score of 22 to 21. On account of the bad condition of the grounds the players did not do themselves justice.
Athenaeum had a political fight last Friday. One seeing it would have thought Reed had revived and that Bennett was lecturing.
The first nine are to be uniformed. Oh, that thirteen mile picnic!
The so-called first nine will now have to take a back seat.
A large number of students attended Booth and Barrett last Friday at Topeka.
The Sigma Chi alumni, at Kansa City, give a banquet this evening and organize an Alumni Chapter.
Prof. Marsh will deliver a lecture on "Literary Societies at Harvard" at Orophilian this afternoon. Let everyone come.
The Phi Delt alumni, of Kansas City, expect to give a banquet to the Chapters of Eta Province the first week of June.
At the base ball meeting Monday the following were elected members of the first nine: DeFord, Jackson, Hogeboom, Britton, Voorhis, Campbell, Allen, Canfield, Harvey and Taylor; Bill and Kellogg were named as substitutes. This is a very good nine but there will be a second nine that will give the first plenty of practice and we are of the opinion will be very near the better of the two nines.
Next Thursday evening Rev.A. A. Willets will deliver the last lecture of the course given by the ladies of Plymouth Church. His subject is "Sunshine." The ladies who have had charge of this course deserve the praise of the public for the unusually good lecturers they have secured this winter and Mr. Willets is certainly up to the standard. Let the students show their appreciation of a good thing when it comes, and go and hear him.
Hon. J. F. Billings, of Clay Center, Hon. C. R. Mitchell, of Geuda Springs, Hon. C. W. Smith, of Stockton and Hon. Joshua Wheeler, of Atchison county, were in the city yesterday en route from Lawrence, having attended the meeting of the regents of the State University. Mr. Billings is the new member of the board, succeeding Prof. Fitzpatrick, of Leavenworth. In the organization of the board M. P. Simpson, of McPherson, was elected vice president and C. S. Gleed, of Topeka, secretary. Mr. Templin, assistant in mathematics, was granted leave of absence for one year. He goes to Berlin for the purpose of study.
Mr. Billings, the new member of the board, is a graduate of Ann Arbor University. In conversation with a Capital reporter yesterday he said: "I believe the State University of Kansas can be made just such an institution as the University of Michigan. Our University is certainly making gratifying progress; its management is able, its faculty is very good, and I believe the progressive state of Kansas will make the University equal to almost any educational institution in the country."

From the Press of P. T. FOLEY.
Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas as second-class matter.
The first place in the Kansas intercollegiate oratorical contest was won by the gentleman from Lawrence. After carefully comparing the oration with its competitors we feel it our duty to compliment the author. He has chosen a living subject. He has evidently placed the result of his individual thought in his production. Barring a few poorly cast sentences and a certain lack of compact and logical arrangement there appears no reason why Mr. Stebbins' oration may not be a winning one in the interstate contest. — Hesperian.
THE Atlantius, from Central College, Kentucky, speaks of the Courier's lack of literary matter.
We wish we could impress on our exchanges the fact that we do not pretend to offer literary articles to our readers. It is not the province of our weekly to publish such matter. The University has a monthly, the Review, which aims to give publication to the literary productions of our students, but which, from reasons peculiarly its own, prefers to confine its circulation to subscribers. If our exchanges, from lack of knowledge of the Review's existence think that we have no medium for the publication of our literary articles, we take pleasure in relieving them from this error.
We do pretend to give the weekly personal and local news of the University, to express in our "Views" column the thought of the students in regard to University or other mattess of current interest, and in our editorial columns to express fully our own ideas and opinions as regards matters of interest to the students. If, in this, we are unsuccessful, condemn us, but do not blame us for our lack of literary articles, for we lay no pretensions to the publication of such matter.

THE POETRY OF SPRING. Tis spring; and balmy breezes thaw the face
THE POETRY OF SPRING.
Of Earth, benumbed, to life. Each bowery place
In floral beauties all profuse abounds
moral beauties all promise abounds While warbled music everywhere resounds.
A college bard, enraptured with a muse,
Beholds fair Nature crowned with evening hues,
Which tint the fleeting bars of clouds with red,
And these, in turns, a ruddy half shed.
Ambitious now poetic fame to gain,
He musters forth the fancies of his brain;
His brow contracts, his kindling eyes dilate,
This mien betrays his mind's poetic state.
Until his mind with day's departing flight,
Forgets all else in transports of delight.
But whence these sounds that on his dreams intrude?
Mosquitoes now dispel the rapturous mood,
He aims to slay, himself receives the blows.
The hungry vermil all his ire oppose.
Addition 9r. on rille appellation bent.
A vicious fly on vile annoyance bent.
Climbs up his nostrils' sensitive ascent;
But fiercely propelled by a convulsive sneeze,
"O, hang the pests!" despairingly he cries,
And rubs the gnats from out his weeping eyes;
Enswarmed, he madly homeward beats his way,
Regardless all of Spring's poetic sway.
RETROSPECTION.

They come, of course, my valentines,
Though not as many as before.
Yet just as full of thrilling lines, Symphonies complete in score.
Just now they grace my room; their lot
Will be with those not to be seen As dreamy souvenirs—of what?
How eloquent (£h epuu tau)
On paper—"Thou, my valentine";
"addles."
Yet none have come, on bended knee And pleading, said, "Dear love, be mine."
Although each one would let me know
As treally sometimes be true
Of that which might have been.
By tell.tale blush or plainer sign.
That he a giver was—how stow!

To the Editor of the Courier:
The question of chapel attendance is being agitated by the students in a more serious manner than at any previous time since the new dispensation. It is not looked upon now as a question as to whether the students can beat the faculty but as a matter of right or wrong.
During the good old days when every student, from Prep. to Senior, had a seat assigned him which he was required to occupy on Friday morning of each week, the majority of the students thought it an unnecessary and useless rule; and many an upper-class man lamented over the fact that he was compelled to listen to the festive Freshie declaim the old orations which he himself had echoed within those self-same walls. And when it was officially announced at the beginning of this year that compulsory chapel attendance was a thing of the past, an air of relief and an expression of real pleasure was upon the countenances of all.
But it is evident that something must be done. It is useless for us to say, "chapel is allright, let it alone." It is not allright and push it down as many times as you may, like the Old Man of the sea, it is sure to bob up serenely as before.
The idea seems to be prevalent that the regents of the University have no power to compel chapel attendance—that the students simply attend out of courtesy to the professors and, in short, that the twenty minutes spent every day in recognizing the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, God and Maker of us all, is an act of politeness rather than devotion.
As it is now, chapel attendance is a flat failure. I say it candidly and with reflection. It is practically a failure. "What is everybody's business is nobody's business.
But twice this year have the students been called together as a body and neither of those times were employed as seasons of worship. In fact, as far as regular official action on the part of those in authority is concerned the recognition of the Almighty has been left out of thecirriculum of the University.
Under the old Friday-morning-rule once a week we were all together and at least the guise of christianity was observed.
But, as was stated by a lecturer in one of our city pulpits recently, "the American people are getting so excessively intellectual that moral culture and simple religious services are rapidly becoming secondary considerations."
Let us refute this declaration by personal and official action and have compulsory chapel attendance once a week. Let us show to the world that moral culture and simple religious services are not secondary considerations in K. S. U. and, as was said of old, "wisdom and knowledge shall be stability and the works of righteousness shall be peace."
To the Editor of The Courier:
\* \* \*
Several weeks ago an article appeared in the Courier, relative to chapel attendance, in which the statement was made that if the students did not begin attending chapel better, attendance would be made compulsory.
However much chapel attendance may be desirable, compulsory chapel attendance, even if it could be secured, is very undesirable.
Many of the students that come here have religious scruples against chapel worship; others regard chapel as a mere farce. While the former could, with undeniable right, refuse to attend chapel in an institution supported by the State, as this is; the latter also would have quite as just a reason for not attending chapel. If the justice of compelling students to attend chapel is not to be considered, the desire for the prosperity of the University should be sufficient cause for not having compulsory attendance at chapel. In saying this I am aware that some persons will not agree with me. I think the facts will sustain me in the assertion. The students, or at least the majority of them come to the University because it is free from the narrow-mindedness and restrictions of denominational colleges, and a result of the non-existence of these evils is, the University sends out refined and cultured graduates, as opposed to the narrow-minded and bigoted graduates of the denominational colleges.
The article referred to, fully sustains me as to the wisdom of having chapel attendance voluntary when it states that chapel attendance at Harvard has been made voluntary. The fact that one of the leading colleges of America has made chapel attendance voluntary is an excellent argument against compulsory chapel attendance. C.
To the Editor of the Courier:
Forbid a child to touch and the child desires, perhaps for the first time to touch. Say "you must" to a man and his first impulse is to reply, "I will not."
This spirit of rebellion against restraint is inherent to all casts. It is simply human. Perhaps this tendency to resist compulsion moves many of us to hastily render our decision concerning chapel attendance
Have we better reasons or, rather, have we reasons outside of this for not desiring compulsory attendance to our morning service?
Whatever we do willingly we do soulfully, in proportion to our willingness.
We are not in a proper mood at all times for divine worship.
The ringing of a bell fails to arouse within us this state of soul. Some people, very sincere christians, do not approve of public prayer. Now the question to be considered is: What is prayer? Let it be gratitude for divine favor; a cry for spiritual sustenance and strength; a desire for light and faith; or quiet, trustful communion with a Father. We all agree that there must be that essence of earnestness and faith
before we can acknowledge to ourselves that this is worship.
We can, and do, all agree that mere presence within a place of worship signifies nothing at all, nor does strict observance of the form of the service mean anything.
Is man elevated, spiritualized by this sham or, perhaps, half earnestness? Is a Deity gratified by a large audience of bowed heads or by the earnest worship of ten true hearts?
Which of these suggestions might really become a fact within our chapel walls?
Now and then a heedless soul is moved by an earnest voice to listen to earnest words, and good is done.
How much more often does a heart grow cold beyond hopes of warmth when driven too far.
Will you ever become earnest? Will you think? Will you always be willfully heedless of important things? These are some questions whifch, when carefully phrased and judiciously suggested, cause us to think, to strive, to resolve.

Mr. J. S. Murphy, as Dan O'Hara in "Kerry Gow," is billed for the opera house, Monday, April 23d. "Kerry Gow" is having its eighth season and is as popular as ever. The scenery is new and the support good.
J. S. Murphy, who is an old favorite here, had a big house last night. It was his first appearance here in two years, but his former audience had not forgotten him during his absence and the greeting given him must have made him feel that he has numerous warm friends in St. Louis. It is needless to say that Mr. Murphy played the parts admirably and had the audience either laughing or applauding the whole time. He sang "Belleve me when all these endearing young charms" and "Nellie Aroun" sweetly, and then gave a comic song effectively for an encore --St. Louis Post Dispatch, Dec. 5th.

A gift $6,300 has been given to the Harvard Annex, for the establishment of a fund, the income of which is to be devoted to a prize scholarship for the "Harvard examination of women." The gift was made through the medium of the Mew York Evening Post, but the giver has kept his name a secret. The examinations to the support of which the fund is given, are instituted under the direction of Harvard University, and the young ladies who pass them are given a certificate as a testimonial of their ability. This certificate is accepted in place of entrance examinations in the chief colleges for women in this country.
The number of students in the German universities this year is 26,945. The University of Berlin alone has 5,478.
Columbia College has taken another step forward, and this time it is to allow the admission of women to its higher courses.
Cornelius Vanderbilt has given $2,000 to Vanderbilt University of Tennessee, to have its school of engineering enlarged.

Facts Worth Your Attention.
The use of ice, once regarded as a luxury, has become almost universally an imperative necessity. To make ice the most servicable, a refrigerator is needed, and the qualities sought in a refrigerator are the preservation of perishable foods and an economical use of ice. The economical use of ice depends entirely upon the principle involved in the construction of the refrigerator and in utilizing all the cold air.
The principal causes of decay in meats and fruits are dampness and varying temperature, causing the expansion and contraction of tissues which hasten decay, hence a dry atmosphere and uniform temperature conduce to their preservation. These results can be obtained only by a perfect circulation of the air in the refrigerator and its condensation in the ice chamber. The Alaska, the world renowned, is constructed upon strictly scientific principles, by which low temperature and dryness of air are naturally and inevitably obtained. There no longer exists in the minds of the public, any doubt that the Alaska Refrigerator does produce dry cold air in its provision chamber. Practical use in various countries and climates has proven this theory to be correct. The scientific construction of the Alaska CREATES A THOROUGH and CONSTANT CIRCULATION, by which all vapors arising from foods in the provision chamber are condensed in the ice pan, and run off with the melting ice. Most refrigerators are so constructed that vapors from various kinds of food are chilled to bead drops of water in the provision chamber. Such refrigerators are always damp and deleterious to health. In the Alaska, by perfect circulation of the air, the vapors are drawn through the flues into the ice chest, and condensed there. Hence, by removing the vapor, the odor is removed. The provision chamber never coats from condensation, but is always clean and free from foul odor, being entirely free from mould and mildew. The Alaska received the highest award for economy of ice, using only nine-seventeenths as much as one leading competitor, and only twelve-seventeenths as much as its best competitor, receiving the highest certificate of award as being the best refrigerator for butchers' or family use.

Athenacum.
At the regular time of meeting an unusually large audience assembled in our hall.
The literary program was not up to the usual standard, but consisted of several interesting pieces. The current event essay was upon the bill to admit Dakota as a state.
After recess the regular debate was omitted and the society proceeded to the election of officers. The canvass had been close and consequently the election was enthusiastic. The following officers were elected: President, J. A. Mushrush; Vice President, C. A. Christian; Secretary, Miss Laura Gregg; Critic, H. S. Hadley; Musical Director, Miss Rose McMurray; Sergeant at Arms, E. Sharum; Reporter, J. B. Stout.
The committee, from Athenaeum, on June orator, reported that the committees from the two societies had secured Hon. T.W.Higginson, of Cambridge, Mass., to deliver the oration.
Among the motions made and carried, under miscellaneous business, were; one voting funds toward defraying the expenses of the June orator, and one granting Orophilian the privilege of introducing the orator, with the understanding that Athenaeum will be granted the same privilege next year.

PI BETA PHI BANQUET.
PI BETA PHI BANQUET. Kansas Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi, better known as I. C. Sorosis, gave its gentleman friends and alumnae members a sumptuous banquet on the evening of April 19. The occasion served to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the founding of the chapter and witnessed the gathering of about 125 ladies and gentlemen including the initiates to the Sorosis since its founding, who reside in Lawrence and vicinity, besides several members from a distance.
NO. 32.
The occasion was something of a departure from the usual mode of entertainment offered by fraternities in K. S. U., and so successful and elegant was it in all its details that we are sorry that we must be confined to so limited a space in its description.
After an hour or two spent in renewing old acquaintances, and general conversation, the company was ushered to the banquet. Although we would not attempt to describe what there met the eyes of the happy guests, mention must not fail to be made of the beautiful floraldecorations arranged in the form of a pyramid on the center main table; and of the emblematic "Arrow," above the head of the table, decorated with silver blue, and dregs of wine ribbons representing the colors of the Sorosis.
An appropriate invocation was pronounced by Dr. Marvin, after which came the repast, such as the I. C's know how to plan for such an occasion. An address was then given by Miss Hannah Oliver in which she gave a brief historical sketch of the Chapter and very happily welcomed the visiting alumnae and all outside guests. Dr. Lippincott responded to the address. It had been thirty years since he was a student in college, but he could appreciate such occasions still, and heartily assured the ladies of his friendly feeling for them and their Chapter. Then came the toasts, of which the following is a synopsis:
The next was a spirited talk about "The Faculty" by Miss Lyle Hynes. Miss Hynes declared her inability to address the respected and honored faculty, and in the light of strange rumors of the proceedings in faculty meetings was almost at a loss to know how to entertain them.
Mrs. Carrie Sterling toasted "Our Guests." There had been a general welcome extended to the alumnae and their friends, but she took occasion to welcome, in particular, the outside guests, i.e., the faculty and other friends of the fraternity.
A. G. Hager closed some interesting remarks on "Journalism" with an outline of the duties and work of a
"The Candidates" was given by J. W. Roberts. He spoke of candidates in general, then drew attention to the particular candidates the subject of his toast.
Dr. Wilcox made the "after dinner" speech of the evening; subof toast, "The Fraternities." His "extemporaneous" speech sparkled with wit and abounded with wisdom. He had come with special instructions from the faculty to state that they particularly enjoyed I. C. banquets. He closed with a few remarks addressed to all the fraternities in which he gave them good advice regarding their "missionary work."
journalist, and the wish that more ladies might enter the journalistic field.
V. L. Kellogg was unable to be present with his toast, "University Poets," and Otis Holmes appeared as a substitute almost without notice. He had obtained proof sheets of a new book of poems, and read a few samples which were loudly applauded at the expense of Profs. Carruth and Blake, Dr. Lippincott, and Miss Gertrude Crotty.
Prof. Curruth's witty remarks on the "Alumna" were much enjoyed by all. Since the day when he had climbed Mt. Oread as a student, and was greeted by one of the I. C. sisters, "How do doo, bubby!" to the present time he had looked up to the I. C's; whom he had found could be grave and dignified students taking off honors in analytical geometry, etc., and at the same time could be happy and lively entertainers.
Walter Davis showed in "College Friendship" that friendship does not develop well with ignorance and illiteracy, but that the college offers the best conditions for its growth. The associations of college days and the memory of such occasions as the present are important factors in determining life friendships.
W. Y. Morgan toasted the L.C. sisters, in which he proved beyond question that they were little short of angels, and with this belief fully impressed upon them the guests took their departure at a late hour, many, undoubtedly, feeling that they had never enjoived a better time.
The following is a complete list of those who were present:
Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Chancellor and Mrs. Lippincott, Prof. Snow, Prof. and Mrs. Miller, Prof. and Mrs. Curtuth, Prof. and Mrs. Aldrich, Mr. and Mrs. Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Woodard-Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter, Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt-meyer, Mr. and Mrs. Little, Mr. and Mrs. Leesur-Mr. and Mrs. Spangler, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. Glbb, Mrs. Sterling, Misses Rudolph, Watson, Parker, Marche, Oliver, Marvin, Sultil, Jennifer Holle, Sullivan, Joe Marte Gertle and Mary Green, Mary and Lida Griffith, Griffin, Hynes, Lyle Hynes, Horton, Miller, Beard, Alice Pendel, Manley, Cockins, Roberts, Lyons, Glmore, Harrison, Brown, Buckingham, Snow, Scott, White, Webber, Uchardson, Tisdale, King, Newlin, Buzzel, Jones, Horn, Nelloy Dove, of Olathe, or Moteide, of Kansas City, Bay Schutz.

Orophilian
On last Friday Orophilian Literary Society presented an unusually fine program. In spite of the many attractions offered at the ball and tennis grounds there was a good attendance. After the usual program had been rendered, Prof. A. R. Marsh delivered an interesting lecture upon "Literary Societies at Harvard." The Professor contrasted the work and organization of Harvard societies with those of the University, and showed that our societies had not reached the Harvard standard. While this comparison was unfavorable to our societies, yet a knowledge of the workings of eastern societies cannot be but beneficial to us. The society is very grateful to the Professor for the many new ideas gathered from his lecture and believes that the students will be greatly encouraged to do better work.

From the Press of P. T. FOLEY.
Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas,
as second-class matter.
We wish to acknowledge our obligation to Mr. V. L. Kellogg for his efficient management of last week's issue.
The days and weeks have rolled by, and the Commonwealth, as it glances at its calendar, perceives that it has come to the date marked, "Touch up the State University and Prof. J. H. Canfield." Of course, it becomes a little monotonous to hear a paper say the same thing over so many times, but we are glad to know that, among its many vices, the Commonwealth has one lingering virtue —that of cultivating regular habits.
In our last number, among the law items, it was announced that the Law Faculty had appointed J. W. Roberts and S. T. Gilmore to appear on the program of the commencement day exercises of the law department. It is only just to these gentlemen to name the positions to which they have been appointed, since in his modesty the law correspondent failed to do so last week. Mr. Gilmore will appear as valedictorian of his class, and Mr. Roberts as salutatorian. In the failure of the Senior class to elect the other representatives, the Faculty appointed the following members: oration, S. P. King; thesis, Harbaugh; discussion, Rice and Pears. With such men upon the program, we have every reason to expect a Law Day well worthy of Kausas State University and the class of '88.
WHILE the Courier has no desire to posture as an "organ," it wishes at all times to speak frankly and plead earnestly for all that will benefit the students of the University. In this spirit, it desires now to urge upon the members of the present sophomore class one study possible to them for the coming two years—that of the constitutional and political history of the United States. The Courier's interest in this study is based on personal experience, as well as upon the breadth of the work. For two years a student can
devote a large part of his time to the study of the history of his own country, under careful direction and with delightful companionship, in every possible phase. History and biography, science and literature, law, politics, education, economics, geography, travel and exploration, all that bears on the present through an understanding of the past—are here interwoven. It is very doubtful whether, in either scope or method, there is another study in the entire curriculum equal to this. We only regret that the present graduating class can have but one year for this fascinating work, and we most earnestly commend it to those who can take the entire course.
The Grand Arch Council of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity held its biennial meeting April 4th to 7th. The session was in every way interesting and successful. About one hundred and twenty-five delegates were present, representing nearly every chapter in the fraternity. Most flattering reports were received from chapters and from the General Secretary and Treasurer of the fraternity and from the editor of the Shield. Among the officers elected for the ensuing year are: President, Rev. Robert Lowry; Corresponding Secretary, Prof. M. W. Sterling of Kansas State University. E. C-Little, of Ness City, Kansas, was appointed a committee of one on the memorial for Wm. A. Letterman, one of the founders of the fraternity. Friday afternoon, the Council was received in the east room of the White House by President and Mrs. Cleveland. In the evening a most enjoyable banquet was held at the Riggs House. The oration which was to have been delivered by Governor Foraker, was delivered by Solicitor-general Geo. A. Jenks, on account of the former's unavoidable absence. After the Saturday morning session the Council adjourned to meet at Chicago in 1890.
Some of our readers may be a little surprised at the large number of views upon chapel attendance, which have appeared in the columns of this and the preceeding number of the Courier. If such is the case we beg leave to remind them that the subject under discussion is at present one of considerable importance, both to the students and to the faculty. This is the first year, at least within the memory of most of us, that chapel attendance has been placed among the "optionals." It has been an experiment; and now as the year is drawing to a close it is necessary to examine the results and determine whether they have been good or bad and to decide whether the experiment shall be converted into an established custom, or whether we shall return to the old method of compulsory attendance. This matter is of more interest to the students than to any others, and it is due to this fact that the faculty are loth to come to a final decision without consulting their wishes and learning their opinions.
To obtain a free expression of stu
dent opinion the English classes have been requested to write short paragraphs upon the subject. Some of them have been handed to us and we have published them in the hope that it would lead to even a freer expression of opinion by the students and thus enable the faculty to reach a conclusion as nearly satisfactory to all as possible. If we have trespassed too much upon our readers' patience we can only beg their pardon and hope that our humble efforts may be ultimately productive of good results.
PROF. BLAKE has devised an ingenious application of the method by which railway time tables are made to the arranging of schedules of recitations for all University classes. At the top of a large board of dimensions of four by six feet, are written, on diagonal lines, all the subjects taught in the University, the course, or courses, to which they belong being indicated by different colored wafers. Below this is a series of rectangles arranged in eight rows, each row being five deep and separated by broad alleys. Each vertical row represents a recitation hour and each horizontal row, one of the five school days. Below this is a further row of rectangles, in each one of which is written the name of an instructor. Rows of pins are driven in each rectangle and at the base of the line of subjects. Threads of different colors and sizes are given to the several classes, as green to the Freshmen, red to the Sophomore, etc. (We do not know whether the Freshmen color was chosen on account of its traditional appropriateness or not.) One end of a thread is attached to a pin opposite a subject, passes through the rectangle representing the day and hour at which the class recites, then through the space in which its instructor's name is written and is kept taut by a small leaden weight at the other end. As an illustration, take Freshman botany. The wafers show that the subject is required of all students. The green thread shows that it is a Freshman study. The thread, passing through all five of the third vertical row of rectangles, shows that it comes every day at 11 o'clock, and by passing through his rectangle, that the class recites with Prof. Snow. For classes that do not recite every day, the threads are kept in the alleys, outside of the rectangles, opposite to those days on which the classes do not recite. Conflicts are shown readily on this plan as no two threads of the same color could pass into the same rectangle, unless they led to two subjects having wafers of different color. On the other hand, no two threads of any color, leading from a professor's name could rest contentedly in the same enclosure. Neither this nor any other device will prevent the liability of conflicts for irregular students. While the board, strung with its many strings, crossed and interlaced as they are in all directions, seems complicated to one who sees it for the first time, the scheme, in reality, is a very simple one, and to
any one having any mechanical bent would prove very helpful. Its chief advantage lies in presenting at once to the eye both actual conflicts and possible changes.
The University is not the massive stone structure which the State has built upon Mount Oread, neither is it the board of regents and the faculty, nor is it the courses of study which have been prepared, but the University is the students who, from year to year, receive instruction in the class room. If this be true, every institution of the University belongs to the students and should be heartily maintained by them. To nothing is this fact more applicable than to our chapel exercises.
To the Editor of The Courier:
Never, during the four years that I have been almost a constant attendant at chapel, have the exercises been so interesting and impressive as during the present year. The exclusion of all but the devotional exercises is a decided improvement upon the former method, as we are no longer disturbed by rhetorical contortions of Casesar crossing the Rubicon, etc., etc.
If from no higher stand point than that of a season of physical rest and because prompt attendance on nine o'clock classes would be insured, chapel should be attended. Again, a knowledge of the Bible, if for no other reason than that it is a monument of English literature would be valuable to any student. However, chapel exercises are pre-eminently designed as a season of religious devotion. A student's life is not entirely free from difficulties and we need the inspiration and strength which these exercises give us. As long as chapel attendance is voluntary a responsibility rests upon the older students to set the example to the students of the lower classes. When convenient the students would like to have the exercises led by the Chancellor. The success of chapel attendance rests entirely upon the students and should be proudly maintained by them.
MARBLE AND SAND. 1
SENIOR.
An act of wrong had steeled my wounded heart,
Whose trusting faith had been betrayed
By him on whom that trusting faith was staid,
And fierce resentment ruled the bet-
ter part
That cried, "Forgive!" with firm, relentless hand.
That drew its angry strength from trampled pride,
I reared a high enduring stone, to stand
Throughout the passing years; and on its side
I blazoned all the tale of trust betrayed.
And beating surge of all-effacing years
But all the waters of regretful tears,
Could not erase the record I had made.
And when my burning anger cool.

II.
A gentle act, that should have blessed my lot
And taught me to forgive and made me kind.
Was scarce remembered in my anger blind,
But ere it had been done was straight forgot.
For burning with the hate of outraged pride.
I wrote the deed with careless,
heedless hand,
Not where the lasting stone the years defied
But in the changing, ever-shifting sand.
And when the billows of the passing years
O'er both the written records swept and rolled,
The gentle tale that would have then consoled
Was washed away by my repentant tears.
The deed I would forget was still in lasting stone;
The deed that I would still remember, gone!

Ah, so it is! In hard, eternal stone,
We grave our wrongs with anger- guided hand,
While gentle deeds are written in the sands
To be forgotten ere those deeds are done.
On both the stones fall repentant tears.
But one remains to mock our keen regret.
Unsoftened by the beating flood of years;
And one is gone that we would ne'er forget.
Ah, better far we grave the actions kind
In granite lines, with eager, grateful hand;
And write our wrongs upon the fickle sand;
And when we read the written archives find
The tale of Love triumphant o'er the surging years;
The tale of Hate effaced by gentle tears. — *Anon.*
The Royal University of Bologna, which celebrates its eighth centenary next May, has some title to being the oldest university in Europe, for it is said to have been originally established by the Emperor Theodosius the younger in 425. But its present legal existence dates from the end of the eleventh century, when it began to become well-known for its excellent law schools, although the great Inerius did not flourish until the middle of the twelfth century. At any rate it is the university where the Roman law was first properly explained; where Dante and Petrarch studied; and where, in late times Cardinal Mezzofanti was librarian, and Galvani made his discoveries. Bologna follows the example of most European universities in not having a permanent President, but one elected for a year or term of years from among the Professors. —Occident.

Facts Worth Your Attention.
The use of ice, once regarded as a luxury, has become almost universally an imperative necessity. To make ice the most servicable, a refrigerator is needed, and the qualities sought in a refrigerator are the preservation of perishable foods and an economical use of ice. The economical use of ice depends entirely upon the principle involved in the construction of the refrigerator and in utilizing all the cold air.
The principal causes of decay in meats and fruits are dampness and varying temperature, causing the expansion and contraction of tissues which hasten decay, hence a dry atmosphere and uniform temperature conduct to their preservation. These results can be obtained only by a perfect circulation of the air in the refrigerator and its condensation in the ice chamber. The Alaska, the world renowned, is constructed upon strictly scientific principles, by which low temperature and dryness of air are naturally and inevitably obtained. There no longer exists in the minds of the public, any doubt that the Alaska Refrigerator does produce dry cold air in its provision chamber. Practical use in various countries and climates has proven this theory to be correct. The scientific construction of the Alaska CREATES A THOROUGH AND CONSTANT CIRCULATION, by which all vapors arising from foods in the provision chamber are condensed in the ice pan, and run off with the melting ice. Most refrigerators are so constructed that vapors from various kinds of food are chilled to bead drops of water in the provision chamber. Such refrigerators are always damp and deleterious to health. In the Alaska, by perfect circulation of the air, the vapors are drawn through the flues into the ice chest, and condensed there. Hence, by removing the vapor, the odor is removed. The provision chamber never coats from condensation, but is always clean and free from foul odor, being entirely free from mould and mildew. The Alaska received the highest award for economy of ice, using only nine-seventeenths as much as one leading competitor, and only twelve-seventeenths as much as its best competitor, receiving the highest certificate of award as being the best refrigerator for butchers' or family use.

To the Editor of the Courier:
You request my opinion of chapel services. You evidently proceed upon the assumption employed in jury trials, that he is the best juror who has never seen the defendant and knows none of the facts of the case. It would be irrelevant to discuss here the obligations of christian duty or the efficacy of prayer. These are matters of purely private opinion. Concerning chapel services, as at present conducted, a good old-time revival, or some means of awakening religious sentiment is what is needed. Worship must always be voluntary. Compulsion may increase the attendance, but it will not swell the ranks of the worshipers. I am satisfied that the present chapel exercises cannot be replaced by any services which will be more acceptable to those who desire to worship Christ. But to the large body of students, who through disbelief or indifference, do not attend chapel, one other morning exercises should be offered. It must be remembered, however, that no device or expeditent by which a large morning attendance can be secured will increase the number of worshipers. The present exercises should be continued for those who will engage in morning prayers. For all others, exercises consisting of the discussion of ethical questions by members of the faculty, and the students might accomplish much. There are many who imagine themselves free from all moral accountability simply because they belong to no church organization. Such persons should earn that morality and christianity are not synonymous. There is no place, probably, in the University or sectarian theology, but a liberal morality—the basis of all true character—should occupy a prominent place in all curricula. Moral culture must accompany all intellectual development; otherwise, even the little earning to which a college diploma certifies, may be a dangerous thing. If the most of the students are not satisfied with 8:40 a.m. as the best time, or the chapel as the best place, or the Bible as the best text-book, the faculty may very properly appoint a different hour, arrange a more convenient place, select a more popular work upon ethical science, and compel the students to attend the exercises. Those who will not do right out of respect for their Redeemer, should be taught to do right for their own good.
