Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Grovenor gave the ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity a very enjoyable reception last Friday evening. The program consisted of music rendered by the Kappa girls assisted by Roy Hair and J. C. Manning. Unlike most of the student gatherings dancing and card playing were omitted, making an agreeable change. Those present were: Misses Hayes, Atwood, Dudley, Hair Williams, Wemple, Wiggs, Franklin, Springer, Hoadley, Mrs. Loyd Miller, Taggart, McBride, Blood, Howe, Price, Buckingham, O'Bryon, Starr, Bowersock, Nelson, McKinnon, Ropes, Clark, Henshaw, Kimball, Pickering; Messrs.

Mr. and Mrs. Whitman gave a delightful picnic in honor of W. H. Brown, last Saturday. The afternoon was spent in tennis playing, croquet and other outdoor amusements. The gentlemen had a great game of "scrub", the playing of Prof. Snow and Will Franklin being especial features. Supper was served on the lawn after which apt quotations from Shakespeare supplied the place of toasts. The following were present to bid Will Brown a regretful good-bye and to wish him success in the future: Prof. and Mrs. A. R. Marsh, Prof. and Mrs. W. H. Carruth, Prof. F. H. Snow, Prof. Dyche, Prof. Aldrich; Misses Mary and Edith Manley, Gertrude and Millie Crotty, Rudolph, Taggart, Lyons, Snow, Franklin and Brown; Messrs. W. S. and E. C. Franklin, W. R. Cone, W. H.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 4, 1888.
The Sigma Chis gave a picnic at Eudora Springs last Saturday afternoon and evening which will go down on the records as the most delightful picnic that has been held this year. Elegant refreshments were served about 5:00 p.m. and then dancing came next on the program. The ride home was made very enjoyable to the happy crowd by the Lawrence Mandolin Club. Those present were: Misses McBride, Atwood, Howe, Ropes, Bistline, Miller, Pickering, Price, Hair, Woodward, Lovell, Bartell, Chapman, Henshaw, Bowersock, Turner and Phillips; Messrs.

Law.
Everybody is peaceable and prosperous in the law classes this week, excepting Pollock and McIravy. Pollock has sworn to Almighty Kent and Blackstone to have revenge on those girls that stood at the window and stole a smile from him, which appears in the Junior class picture. McIravy don't know what got him in the notion to laugh just as French caught the picture, therefore he has not sworn vengeance on any special one.
Rice and Fiddler were courting before His Honor, the Justice of the Peace in two different cases Saturday.
The law library now contains 1066 volumes, not of oblate authorities but of standard law books, such as are found in the best law libraries in the land. The greater part of the works are owned by private parties.
From the large number of inquiries being made in regard to the law school we are able to predict a good attendance for next year. Those of the collegiate department who intend to take law should investigate the inducements offered here.

Athenacum.
Owing to threatening weather the attendance was not as large as usual last Friday. However, a good program was rendered. The current event essay took up the Henry George land theory which elicited considerable discussion. The debate, "Resolved, that an editor is justifiable in selling the influence of his paper" was decided in the affirmative. The music furnished the society was unusually good and the thanks of the society are due those who gave it.
To-day Athenaeum will meet in Orophilian hall in joint program at 4 o'clock. Everybody come.

Prof. Sayre entertained the Senior class of the Pharmacy Department at his residence Friday evening.
An important part of the presbytery's business was the licensure of Mr. J. E. Curry to preach the gospel. It need hardly be said that Mr. Curry is a son of Mr. D. S. Curry, one of our most enterprising farmers. After graduating at the State University at Lawrence, Mr. Curry spent a winter in the theological seminary in Edinburgh, Scotland; and last winter in Princeton, New Jersey. His sermon at the opening of the presbytery on Tuesday evening was delivered to a crowded house of attentive listeners. It was commended by members of presbytery and others as a very creditable effort. We understand that he is to spend next winter and complete his theological course in the U.P. theological seminary of Yorkia Ohio Ex
Mr. Curry was a member of the class of '86.
The faculty met Wednesday evening and, after listening to the report of the committee on orations, appointed the following Seniors to appear on commencement: W. S. Allen, A. May. Churchill, T. F. Doran, W. E. Higgins and J. A. Prescott. The appointments were based on class standing, merits of orations and ability to speak. The above list is arranged in alphabetical order and signifies nothing in regard to rank
W. H. Brown left Tuesday morning; he will spend several days in Leavenworth and some weeks at his home at Polk City, Iowa, before going to Washington. It is to be hoped that he will soon return thereby compensating the University for the loss of one of its best and most energetic students.
Commencement is drawing near and Bromelsick would be pleased to show you his new straw hats before that time.
Stebbins left Monday for Greencastle, Ind., to attend the interstate oratorial contest held at that place on Wednesday.
C. L. Smith, '87, of Kansas City was up to the K. S. U. the first of this week and listened to "Steb" speak his piece.

From the Press of P. T. FOLEY.
Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas,
as second-class matter.
The students of Baldwin University have begun issuing a weekly sheet similar to the Courier. The first number, which reached us last week, is a very creditable one and speaks well for the men who have been enterprising enough to get it out. We wish the Breeze a full measure of success.
A sad need of the library is noticeable in the absence of full sets of standard periodicals. For reference work, complete files of magazines are next in importance to encyclopedias. Perhaps this is especially true in the sciences and of scientific periodicals we have almost none at all. To the scientific student this is a matter of continual and serious trouble. While in a library like ours, small in reality and made apparently smaller than it is by the attempt to cover all the subjects embraced in our curriculum, a series of scientific monographs cannot be expected to be found; yet there should surely be some means of studying the growth and progress of science in general, and the discoveries and theories concerning special scientific questions. Do books answer these demands more cheaply or give better satisfaction to the student than complete sets of leading scientific periodicals?
The plan for the final examination of the Senior class in advanced English composition has been announced by Prof. Marsh and is rather novel. Each member of the class is to hand in to Prof. Marsh a list of ten subjects upon which he declares himself ready to write. From these ten topics, three will be selected by the Professor, and the student allowed three hours in which to write his essays. Both matter and manner will be considered in the grading of the compositions. In this way the examination will be made less of a dreaded and tiresome task. It will be interesting to the student and will afford the instructor ample grounds on which to give grades.
We wish that more of the finals could be made less ikrisko; that the
student would not be compelled to look forward to examination week as the drudge of the school year. But we will refrain from other complaints about examinations. They are inevitable, this year at least, and we can better use our time in preparing for them.
It must certainly be very gratifying to the friends of the University to see the interest in self-improvement manifest on the part of the younger members of the faculty. Each year finds some member pursuing the higher branches of his department at some noted school either at home or abroad. This tendency is encouraged by the willingness with which leave of absence is granted by the Board of Regents. Prof Carruth passed the first eight months of '86 in Germany studying the German language. Mr. Dyche spent some time in the east last year, perfecting himself in taxidermy. Mr Sterling, the assistant in Greek, is at present taking a course of study at Johns Hopkins University. To-morrow afternoon Mr. Olin Templin, wife and little daughter, leave for Europe. They expect to sail for Liverpool from New York next Tuesday on the "Alaska" of the Guion line; from Liverpool they go to London, thence to Hamburg and Berlin. At the latter place they will pass the winter, Mr. Templin attending the University for which that city is noted. The summer of '89 will be spent in travelling through Europe. We hope that he will have a pleasant and profitable year, and return to carry on his work at the University with renewed enthusiasm. —Lawrence Tribune, April 19.
A CORRESPONDENT recently made some remarks on the advisibility of having a regular course of lectures provided by the regents. A course of well-arranged lectures on living questions by prominent men is a most necessary supplement of a curriculum, and of such a course we certainly stand in need, this year especially. It is true, some good lecturers sometimes come to Lawrence, and so in some degree may supply the demand, but their lectures are generally calculated to give intellectual amusement rather than interesting instruction. A discourse however able, on the "Uses of Ugliness," or "The Mission of the Dude," do not stimulate us to individual thought. We want lectures of a different stamp.
One great object in education is to make men individual and aggressive thinkers, to be able to cope with the living issues. In the studies of the curriculum we learn old fundamental truths. A student may complete a course and be little more than a learned fossil, and a learned fossil is of about as much use in this world as a petrified log. Language, science and mathematics energize and shape our intellectual powers, but conjugations, axioms and formulas do not make a man an aggressive thinker, or put him in the front ranks of progression. Although much may be done by the professors
of certain departments to keep their pupils abreast of the times in their especial lines, for general purposes a good well-selected course of lectures is a most effective means. We are afraid that in the past the most judicious selections were not always made. We have had some fine lectures which will ever be fresh in the minds of those who heard them. We have also had lectures that might as well neverhave been heard. The fault was doubtless due to lack of sufficient means. Good lecturers require good pay.
Education consists in studying men as well as books, and to come in contact with men of note intellectually has a most stimulating effect. We afterwards seem to take a personal interest in such men. We have seen them face to face. We have heard their ideas uttered by their own voices and are likely to pay more attention to the questions which they have discussed. We read some noted work and, perhaps, take but a passing interest in its contents, but we no sooner see and hear its author than our interest is tenfold vivified. The students who have heard Secretary Bayard will always look upon him in the light of an acquaintance. Whoever has heard the naturalists, Professors Cope and Wallace, feels a living interest in their works. To see and hear the great exponent of a new system gives an active stimulus to investigate the merits of such a system, as was recently shown in the Indiana State University, where Henry George delivered an address on his land theory. Had we been so fortunate as to have seized Hon. W. E. Gladstone to address us next commencement, since our literary societies had sent an invitation to this effect, how our attention would have been riveted on Gladstone and his labors! With what intense interest would we pour over his works which we now scarcely notice! And so with other men and other ideas. Thus we would be more likely to become actively engaged in living issues and keep abreast of the world. Give us an efficient course of lectures on interesting and living questions.
To the Editor of The Courier:
Scarcely a year has passed without complaint being made of the approaches to the University. The faculty and regents have complained of them, the college papers have taken up the strain, but still the city has done very little to improve them.
There are at present only two ways of reaching the college buildings: one by the road which leads up over the north end of the hill, and the other up Adams Street. Neither of these roads are kept in decent shape at any time and in muddy weather they are often totally impassible to carriages. It was only a few weeks ago that Mr. Nelson, of Indiana, who came to deliver a lecture at the University, had the wretchedness of the road down Adams Street thoroughly demonstrated to him. The night of the lecture was only a moderately rainy one, but it was enough to
put that street in such a condition that, when the hack in which Mr. Nelson was riding was opposite Mr. Woodward's, it got so imbedded in the mud that the horses could not move it and Mr. Nelson and Chancellor Lippincott had to climb out, wade to shore and go down the hill on foot. Such an occurrence could not but be detrimental to the reputation of Lawrence. That the approaches to the University should remain in such a condition, is a disgrace to the people of this city.
There is only one sidewalk by which the students can reach the University in rainy weather. This leads up Adams Street, one of the steepest streets on the hill, and compels all students who live in West Lawrence to come away around every morning. This is a great nuisance and should be remedied.
Numerous efforts have been made by the University authorities to have the streets put in better shape. Governor Robinson, a few years ago, made a liberal offer of land on condition that the city should grade Oread Avenue to the foot of the hill and keep it in good order. This offer was a strong inducement and seemed to have some effect for awhile. Work was begun on the top of the hill and continued for some time, but the city's enthusiasm soon died away and nothing has been done since. This policy of neglect has been pursued for several years and it seems to me that it is time for a change.
It is true that originally the city of Lawrence gave liberally to the University to aid in its establishment. But this was merely to secure its permanent location here with a view to the benefit which it would be to the town. The appropriation was made not so much in a spirit of benevolence as it was in one of self interest. Now that its location is fixed I think the city does not duly appreciate its presence. The students are every year expending in Lawrence much larger sums of money than the city ever gave the University. The importance of this fact to business interests, can easily be seen by anyone who will compare the business activity of the winter with the inactivity of the summer months when the students are away. Note the readiness with which the people take advantage of the free lectures and free concerts by the Department of Music, which are given on the hill. But what are the people doing in return for all this? When the Department of Music gives a concert and charges twenty-five cents admission, to help pay for a new grand piano for the chapel, the good people stay away with a unanimity most wonderful to behold. The gratuitous entertainments, the financial benefits, the active interest shown by professors and students in local institutions and the impetus to refinement and culture due to the presence of the University here, are all taken as matters of fact for which no return from the citizens is due.
It is time that the people should
arouse themselves from this state of feeling and begin to appreciate their obligations. If they cannot attend pay lectures and concerts, which they are seldom asked to do let them at least fix up the streets leading to the University so the institution may be accessible to those wishing to go to it, and the roads may not reflect discredit upon the city. Their present condition is disgraceful.
GROWLER.
To the Editor of the Courier:
Literary work in a college is indispensable to those persons whose object in attending college, is not only to acquire a knowledge of the studies prescribed in their respective courses but to be able when they leave the "Alma Mater" to express clearly and concisely, not only the ideas enforced by other instructors, but opinions new and original. A great author has said, "The art of conversation is a fine art." We would ridicule the idea of attaining excellence in sculpture or painting without years of exertion. Yet there seems to be an idea prevalent among students, that when the last "play" disappears, and the student becomes a citizen, expression will not be wanting. The majority of students may not believe this, but they say it by their actions.
In the collegiate departments of the University, less than seventy-five students are members of literary societies, and perhaps less than sixty are on the active list. The literary societies of the State University are not what they might be. The reason for this is obvious. Our literary societies are divided into clans and factions, which at every election, endeavor to control votes, not for merit but to satiate the cravings of some political demagogue, who will form cliques, and swap honor in order to force himself into a position, where he is not wanted. Of course, nothing of this kind has happened lately, but such things have been known to occur. It is a question whether, or not, this is the best method of pursuing literary work. Debating clubs have been conducted with flattering success. The work done, during the school year, by the Kent, Garfield and Excelsior Clubs proves beyond a doubt that this method is most effective. M.
One of the best known firms of eastern publishers, while not believing the publication of the translation warranted at present, thus writes of the work of Misses Wright and Thompson in the Department of Political Science. 'The narrative possesses both historic and economic interest, and an American translation should prove of service to a certain group of American scholars. * ** I should be glad if some wealthy and public-spirited citizen might be disposed to find the funds required for so important an addition to economic and historic literature.'
This certainly looks as though the "Lawrence High School" had become a University.

We take pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of Mrs. Mary W. Hudson's new book, "Esther the Gentile." Before commenting upon it we pause to remark that it is a typical Kansas book written by a Kansas woman, the wife of Major Hudson of the Topeka Capital, and published by a Kansas publishing house, Geo. W. Crane & Co., of Topeka.
The story itself is intended to arouse our attention to the wrongs of the Mormon hierarchy and is aptly adapted to its object. Written in a clear and lucid manner it takes us with the heroine from her eastern home to the land of the saints, where we sympathize with her in her sorrows and cares and admire her for her devotion and fortitude. It is interesting without being intricate and entertaining without being so thrilling and overdrawn as to arouse our criticism. Taken all in all it is a book well worthy of a place on our library shelves.
The Soap Bubble, Mr. T. J. Farron's play, will be at the Opera House, Monday evening, May 3. It is a prime comedy full of taking songs, new jokes, or ludicrous in incidents. It has been played every night this week in Kansas City, and to full houses to the last night.

Denominational schools are not always the most saintly, Lenox College, for instance, a Presbyterian school in Hopkins, Iowa, is in a rather demoralized state of affairs. The students have been having quite a rumpus with the faculty. They issued a weekly in which they lampooned the professors in a most revolting style. In reading that paper one is led to conclude that either the faculty is a worthless batch of incompetency, or the students a rebellious, slanderous horde of barbarians who do not know the first elements of decency.

We predict for him the success which his many friends feel he merits.
A. G. Hagar, of the Juniors, has severed his connections with the Evening Tribune and will now devote himself exclusively to law. A. G. is known in newspaper circles as a rustler and no doubt will make a like reputation in the law. He will enter the office of George S. Barker.
It was not modesty, as was suggested by the editor of the COURIER two weeks since, that kept the law correspondent from naming the position to which himself and another had been appointed, for said correspondent was never known to be backward when any manifestation of cheek would be favorable to himself. He understood at the time, and has since had that understanding confirmed by the Dean of the department, that there is to be no salutatorian nor valedictorian. It is a law commencement and not a class day exercise. In the collegiate department salutatorian and valedictorian are elected by the class and not appointed by the faculty, and it is the same in the law, and position on the law commencement program means no more than position on the collegiate commencement program. There have been no examinations whatever as yet, and therefore no class standing has been determined.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 11, 1888.
Last Friday afternoon the first joint program ever given by Athenæum and Orophilian literary societies was given in Orophilian Hall. Notwithstanding the exciting game of ball at the park the hall was crowded, a great many chairs from the drawing room being utilized to accommodate the audience.
Athenaeum turned out in mass to encourage its performers, showing its customary zeal.
Athenaeum—Orophilian
T. F. Doran, having been chosen chairman by the committees of the two societies, in a few chosen remarks thanked the societies for the honor conferred upon him.
Music was furnished by some of K. S. U's best musical talent—Miss Ropes, Messrs. Manning, Hair and Hodge.
No.34.
The literary program was good and as follows: Declamation, Miss Newlin, of Orophilian. Her theme was the heroine of a frontier settlement and was clearly rendered.
D. R. Brown, of Athenaeum, followed with an oration on the negro problem. His oration was full of radical and original ideas and was well given.
Miss Humicutt, of Atheneum, came next with one of her matchless declamations. She gave a marriage scene and the introduction of wine gave a very touching scene which was admirably rendered.
W. T. Reed, of Orophilian, followed with an oration on "Devils." The speaker introduced his remarks by stating that he had chosen a subject of interest to all, and the way his oration was received was convincing evidence.
Then followed a social season or fifteen minutes which was enjoyed by all.
A debate on the question, "Resolve, That The Mills tariff bill should become a law," was presented; affirmative, Rolston and Caywood, of Orophilian, and denied by Mushrush and Stout, of Athenaeum. The affirmative endeavored to prove the
bill necessary from the point of the surplus and a general benefit to the United States, while the negative endeavored to prove the bill a thrust at protection, the surplus not menacing, and the bill a campaign document, and therefore to be defeated. Each speaker occupied fifteen minutes and then was stopped in the middle of a sentence by the tap of the bell.
The audience remained during the entire program, a proof of its excellence.
This meeting demonstrated the fact that joint programs are successful as giving an impetus to literary work, and it is to be hoped that more just such programs will follow.
Athenaum holds its last meeting for the year this afternoon and everyone of its members is requested to be present. S.
When K. S. U. was challenged by Baker to a game of ball, it was supposed that the nines would be composed entirely of students from the two Universities, but behold when Baker came up last Monday, only three or four "Doughnuts" could be found in their nine, the other players having been picked up in Baldwin City and elsewhere. The Bakers have been beaten in every game played so far, therefore, they must be afraid of being beaten again, or why should they hire a lot of players.
The Junior class held a meeting Monday at 1 o'clock to elect officers and hat speech orator. The following officers were chosen: Pres., V. L. Kellogg; secretary, Mamie Manley; treasurer, E. E. Squires; prophet, Anna McKinnon; poet, Mamie Manley; historian, Hattie Fellows; master of athletics, W. W. Davis; sergeant at arms, Kate Merrill. Geo. W. Dick was selected to deliver the hat speech on class day. A committee was appointed to petition the faculty for certain arrangements in Senior work.
The regular meeting of the Science Club last Friday was, by invitation, held at the residence of Jos. Savage. The program, consisting of a paper on alkaloids by Prof. Sayre, report of Aitkins' experiment on dust-particles by Prof. Snow, notes on a Kansas mineral by Prof. Bailey and various discussions, was a good one. After adjournment the Club partook of an excellent supper, supplied by the hospitable hosts. Their delightful residence is a favorite resort of the Club, and is made very pleasant by the kind-heartedness of Mr. and Mrs. Savage.
Everyone should go down to Baldwin to-morrow with the ball club, for we expect to win; and besides, they "have it in for us." You should also go to the Eldridge House Pharmacy, and look through the fine line of toilet articles, brushes, perfumery, etc. They are also "sole agents" for Gunther's Chicago Meade, the best in the world.

From the Press of P. T. FOLEY.
Entered at the post-office at Lawrence, Kansas as second-class matter.
We would like to call the attention of one hundred and twenty-five students at the University, to the fact that their subscriptions remain unpaid. Though you may not like everything the Courier says and may think you could run it better yourselves, that does not lessen your obligation. You subscribed for it and the subscription price is a debt which you are in honor bound to pay. The end of the year is approaching and we need the money to square our accounts.
We are glad to learn that the catalogues are to be gotten out much earlier this year than last. It is well to have a good stock on hand during commencement week, for there are many interested visitors here then, who ought to see them. At that time many come to look over the University with a view to entering the next year and it is important that they should obtain the best information available. If the catalogues come out early the Sophomores and Juniors can select their optionals for the following year before they go home and in that way much trouble and confusion during the summer and fall can be avoided. A great deal of work and care has been bestowed upon the issue of this year in the way of revision, and we shall expect a worthy production. It is an important factor in advertising the University, as it is to many the only reliable source of information regarding the University. It should, therefore have as large a circulation as possible. We think it would be a splendid plan to send a number of copies to the Senior class of every accredited high school.
The one hundred and eighty high school pupils from Topeka made quite a stir at the University last Friday. Most of the classes held their usual recitations but we imagine very few of them came up to their usual standard. Outside of the class room very little work was done. In fact, the customary order of things was pretty well disturbed. But in
spite of the disturbance and noise and loss of a day's work, we believe the visit of the high school was a good thing and will be productive of good results. The plan, which has been put in operation this year, of having the various high schools which are preparatory to the University visit it every year, is a splendid one. It is a good way to advertise. The members of the graduating classes of the high schools in this way become acquainted as they never otherwise would, and more of them will be induced to come here for higher education. It is time the people of the state were relieved of the false impression which many of them have, that good colleges and universities are to be found only in the east. To accomplish this it is necessary to in some way get them here so that they can see the opportunities and advantages which K. S. U. offers and understand what kind of an institution it is. The effort to get the high school classes to visit us is a step in the right direction. We hope it will be continued.
At a special election held recently in Madison, Wisconsin, a student of the University was elected alderman from one of the wards of the city. The result aroused considerable excitement at the time, and the Aegis thus speaks of the matter: "A large number of citizens had got it into their heads that students had, if a legal right, at least not a moral right to a voice in city affairs; and as a result nearly every student's vote was challenged. But the boys were posted and refused to be intimidated. It appears to us that students have a moral right to a voice in Madison politics. Nothing has done so much to raise the value of property in the neighborhood of the University as students' money. The University brings to that part of the city an intelligent, refined class of people, and in no university of equal size are the students so quiet and law-abiding. Surely if the university at Ann Arbor can control the whole city election the people of Madison ought not to complain that we are represented in a single ward. The relations between the students and the people of Madison have always been most friendly and we trust that no action of ours shall cause them to be otherwise."
We agree in the main with the sentiments expressed above. The question of the student's position in politics and his right to vote where he is attending college, is fast rising in importance and must soon require a solution. The number of students in the United States is every year increasing and their influence is becoming far too powerful to be ignored. In Indiana the court has decided already that they have the right to vote in the cities where they are at school. It will probably not be long until other states will have to follow Indiana's example. For four years, or more, the student resides in his college town, subject to its laws and contributing to its wealth; for four years he is deprived of the rights of citizenship which he
could enjoy if at home. It is not often that he can afford to go home to take part even in elections of state and national officers and representatives. He thus has no voice in public affairs but must sit quietly by and let things go as they will and suffer the consequences. This is evidently unjust. The college man, if he is of age, has just as good a right to be represented in the government, to which he is subject, as any other man. We believe this is just as true of city governments as of state or national ones. That the students should have a representative in the council of the city to which they contribute so much is, we think, only fair.
LAST Tuesday evening the Handel and Haydn Society gave their last entertainment for the season. On account of the threatening aspect of the weather only a fair-sized audience was present. Mr. P. D. Aldrich acted as conductor, Mr. J. E. Manning as accompaniist and Miss Anna March as organist. The programme was divided into two parts. The first consisted of a number of lighter choruses, the Bridal Chorus from "The Rose Maiden," "Jack Frost," a selection from Gaul, "Oh! who will o'er the Downs" by Pearson all, and "Hour of Prayer," rendered by the entire society. The last chorus, "Hour of Prayer", written by Prof. Aldrich and dedicated to the Handel and Haydn Society, was received with prolonged applause. "Rondo Capricioso" from Mendelssohn, was well rendered by Mr. Manning and well received. The Sacred Idyl, "Rebekah" consisting of airs, recitatives, duets and choruses, in two scenes, formed part second. Scene first presents "Rebekah and Damsels entering from the City, bearing pitchers and singing." In scene second "Isaac goes forth to the field at eventide, to meditate and to await the coming of Rebekah." The part of Rebekah was taken by Mrs. Marks, soprano; that of Isaac by Mr. Walter Howe, tenor; and that of Eliezer by Mr. Aldrich, baritone.
The Handel and Haydn Society is certainly a credit to Lawrence and has the good-will of our music-loving people. It was organized a number of years ago, but never attained much success until Prof. Aldrich assumed the leadership, and by patient and skillful management brought it to its present excellent condition.
On account of the long delay of the faculty in making the commencement appointments the elections for class day have necessarily been deferred until the latter part of last and the first of this week. This gives the persons chosen but little opportunity to prepare their parts and considering that Seniors as well as Juniors must carry their studies until the close of the year, the time seems especially short. Formerly the Seniors had the month of May for a vacation, which gave the sample time to prepare their final efforts. Then if the election occurred a little late it did not make so much difference; but now with the present pressure of work the case is far different. A few weeks is of great importance. As far as we are able to judge there is no reason why the Senior orations could not just as well be required a month earlier than they were this year, and the appointments made by the first of April instead of the first of May. This would give those chosen for class day ample time and thus would tend to make the exercises of a better grade than they can possibly be when the time is so short.
We mention this matter not in the spirit of complaint against the faculty for the unfortunate state of affairs this year, for we recognize the fact that it is almost impossible to make a new arrangement work to perfection on the first trial; but we hope next year the inconveniences of this year may be avoided. It is, of course, of great importance to the University that the exercises of commencement week should be made as good as possible.
LAST EXCURSION OF THE SEASON. The Political Science Club will give an excursion on Saturday, May 19, to the Soldiers' Home and to Ft. Leavenworth. A special train, of engine and three cars, will be at the disposal of the Club and its friends during the entire day. The excursion will take basket dinners, and will picnic upon the beautiful grounds of the Soldier's Home, to visit which Col. Smith, the commander, has extended an especially cordial invitation. After dinner, and a stroll through the buildings and grounds, the party will proceed to Fort Leavenworth—without doubt the most beautiful and picturesque spot in the west. General McCook has given special permission to the party to occupy the grounds at will, and Captain Pope has signified that it will give him pleasure to show the students through the Military Prison which, in perfection of discipline and management, has a national reputation. The party will reach Lawrence not later than 8 p.m.
As the last excursion of the year, and offering such attractions, there will be a rush for the tickets. No more will be sold than there is seating capacity in the cars, as it is intended to make the excursion pleasant and comfortable to the last degree. Tickets for the round trip, one dollar. They can be purchased of any member of the Club.
UNIVERSITY LECTURE.
The last lecture of the University course, for the present year, will be given in University Hall next Tuesday evening, May 15, by Rev. Jesse Bowman Young, D. D., recently of Harrisburg, Pa., now pastor of Grand Avenue M. E. Church, of Kansas City. The topic chosen for the occasion is "Echoes from Round Top: the Story of a great Battle." We clip the following from the Lawrence Daily Journal, of 9th inst., relating to the orator, Dr. Young.
"He left school and entered the army at the age of seventeen years, in 1861. Enlisting in the Fourth Illinois cavalry he participated in the battles of Fort Donnelson and Pittsburg Landing and the siege of Cor-
rinth. In the summer of 1862 he was transferred to the army of the Potomac and served with a 'lieutenant's commission at Fredericksburg and at Chancellorsville. He served at the battle of Gettysburg-the subject of this oration—on the staff of Major General Prince, of the U. S. army. He was an eye witness of the magnificent confederate charge upon the Union lines on the third day of that great contest and describes the scene with a graphic power seldom equaled. At the close of the war Mr. Young retired with the rank of captain and returned to his studies, graduating with distinction from Dickinson College in 1868."
Chancellor Lippincott, who has heard the oration, says that it is the most stirring description of army life and of the scenes and incidents of the battle field he has ever heard.
The opportunity for hearing such a speaker and on such a theme is not often presented. The student who fails to hear Dr. Young will miss a rare treat. The invitation to the citizens of Lawrence is general and cordial. We hope University Hall will be crowded to its utmost capacity.
The class of '88 are greatly indebted to Messrs. Field and Hargis for the kindness and courtesy extended them in procuring their invitations for commencement exercises. The invitations are to be procured of Childs, of St. Louis, and are very neat.
THE DIFFERENCE.
BY FRANK A. MARSHALL.
How often we say of another:
"It is wrong to do thus and thus,"
But how quickly our scruples we smother
When the chance is presented to us!
'Tis true—and our daily lives prove it,
That those who most loudly condemn
Are the first to avail themselves of it,
When the chance is once offered to them.
II.
How sternly we frown on the lover,
As he clasps to his bosom his prize,
And tenderly bending above her,
Reads the old, old tale in her eyes.
But if *we* were permitted to clasp it,
Some form that is fair in our sight,
Ah, how eagerly then would we grasp it,
Nor argue the wrong or the right!
III.
We rail at the wealth and position
So proud in its elegant state;
Berating our lowly condition,
And the bitter injustice of Fate.
But if *ours* were the pride and the splendor
That so insolent seem in our view,
Would our judgments be gentler I wonder?
Or would *we be insolent*, too?
IV.
There is nothing so keen as our keenness
To see in another the wrong;
And nothing so mean as our meanness,
When we are the ones who are strong.
Tis right to have power, and use it,
When another must bend or break;
But how wrong to have strength and abuse it,
When *we* are the ones who are

A great many old University students will be interested and pleased to learn of the marriage at the residence of Mr. G. W. B. Griffith, on last Wednesday, of miss Mary E. Griffith to Mr. Robert M. Osmond. Both parties are well known in Lawrence and have a host of friends in the city who wish them joy. They were equally well known in the University a few years since, Mr. Osmond graduating in '83 and his bride in '84. Among all the students at that time there were none more popular nor more deserving of the success and happiness we are sure awaits them and which we sincerely hope may be unalloyed with adversity and sorrow.

We take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to the fact that at last an opportunity is given them to take vapor baths in Lawrence. One especially good feature of these baths is that the head is kept cool while the bath is being taken. This overcomes the chief objection to Turkish baths. Dr. Smedley's card will be found in another column.
Summer flannel shirts of all styles and patterns at Abe Levy's.
J. W. D. Anderson's treasonable conduct toward Kansas, at the meeting of the Inter-state Oratorial Association, shows what effect jealousy can have on the actions of a man of small mind. Such behaviour does not speak well for the Methodist institution which he represented, and is especially reprehensible in a minister of the gospel.

The second of Prof. Aldrich's lecture and song recitals was given last Thursday evening. The program consisted of fourteen numbers, illustrating the gradual growth of music. Prof. Aldrich is very happy in his selections, the songs chosen for this recital being exceptionally pleasing. Though not in the best voice, Prof. Aldrich appeared to advantage in some of the numbers, his rendering of the selection from Rubenstein being, perhaps, especially strong. He was ably assisted by Miss Anna March as accompanist. The recital was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience.

It has been rumored many times recently that the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity would re-establish its Yale Chapter. Its establishment at Yale dates back to the year 1837, five years after the founding of the fraternity at Hamilton College. In 173 owing to a dissension among members, it was thought best to discontinue the chapter. Among its alumni might be mentioned many prominent men in the Yale faculty and in business life. The present movement is a consequence of strong feeling that another society was needed at Yale in view of growing classes. Madisonensis.

The U and I social held at the congregational church last week was well attended, and, judging from the way eatables disappeared, must have been enjoyed.
Last Saturday K. S. U. again defeated Baker in a game of ball. In the first inning K. S. U. only succeeded in scoring one, while Baker scored seven; but at the end of the second inning the score was a tie. During the rest of the game the K. S. U. boys gained steadily. The boys did exceedingly well considering the grounds they had to play on.
Last week, thinking our Law correspondent knew better than we, we allowed an item in his department, stating that the first and last positions on the Law program implied no especial honor. Since our last issue, in a conversation with the Dean of the Law Department, we were informed by him that while he had not fully decided whether the titles Salutatorian and Valedictorian shall attach or not, still the first and last positions on Law day were given with the idea of second and first honors respectively and should always be so in
his department. He also expressed some surprise that our correspondent should have failed to understand this at the time the appointments were made. It seems to us the reason may be that he received only second honors.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 18, 1888.
Last Friday evening Dr. and Mrs. Lippincott, assisted by their niece Miss Josie Cook, entertained the faculty and the seniors at their pleasant home on Kentucky street. The occasion had been looked forward to with anticipation of pleasure by the seniors and their expectations were fully realized. The guests assembled at an early hour. Nearly all of the members of the faculty and their wives were present and there was hardly a senior absent. The early part of the evening was spent in conversation. All thoughts of the labor of the class room and the terrors of coming examinations were laid aside, and both professors and students gave themselves up to the fullest enjoyment. At a later hour elegant refreshments were served, and as the clock struck the hour of midnight the guests departed to their homes. The reception was a thoroughly pleasant affair in every respect, and one which will long be remembered by every one present.
The long looked for game of base ball between the faculty and the seniors came off last Saturday. Quite a large crowd of people gathered to witness it, and judging from the frequent bursts of enthusiasm it was highly appreciated. The playing of Prof. Marsh on second base was especially noticeable, and the ease and dispatch with which he disposed of some of the seniors was remarkable. But the base running of Prof. Snow was the chief feature of the game. As the Professor stole base after base from the disheartened seniors, the air was rent by rounds of applause from the crowded grand stand. Prof. Will Franklin's compound runs to short stop and second base were also highly interesting.
Notwithstanding the excellent playing and hard batting of the faculty, they were, of course, no match for the class of '88. The venerable seniors "did 'em up" by a score of 27 to 15.
During the game there were several heart and cltohes rending incidents, but no more perhaps than ought to have been expected. The wonderful acrobatic feat of the faculty's first baseman on the
senior second baseman and first base, and the brilliant one-handed catch of Prof. Snow on third brought tears to every eye. Sunday the members of both the faculty and senior nines remained in their rooms quietly engaged in solemn and ardent devotion to the arnica bottle, but Monday some of them were again seen in the halls. The only regret that the seniors now have over the game is, that examinations were not over before it happened. The

nines were as follows:

The Junior class, last Thursday, headed by Profs. Sayre and Carruth, walked to Blue Mound in search of botanical specimens. They then went on to Sibley, and as they went too early for train they engaged in a game of ball. They reached Lawrence on the evening train, and stopped at Raymond's who set up the mead. All report a fine time.
Rankin, after feeding his cat last Tuesday with the poisoned meat, let it escape up the flue. They had quite a time trying to get it to come down.
Athenaeum.
Attenuation held the last regular session of the year last Friday. Owing to some misunderstanding in regard to a notice placed on the bulletin board, the society did not convene till 8:30; at that time a fair representation of the members were present.
The program was out of the regular order, Prof. Marsh having been secured to give a lecture before the society.
His subject was, Latin Metre.
His subject was, Latin Metre. The speaker prefaced his remarks with the statement that the shape of a person's shoes, cut of his coat and cut of his hair justly portrays the culture of the wearer.

LAST Tuesday evening the faculty and students had a rare treat in the way of a lecture by Rev. Jesse Young, of Kansas City, subject, "The Echoes from Round Top, or the Story of a Great Battle," the battle of Gettysburg. He related the events of the second northern invasion by the army of Northern Virginia, vividly described the great three days battle, and paid a splendid tribute to the soldiers of both armies, saying that their friendly meeting a short while ago on the field of Gettysburg was quite as great as the memorable one in July, 1863. Mr. Young has a very clear, full voice, and was distinctly heard in every part of the hall. In spite of the threatening aspect of the weather he was greeted with the largest audience that has assembled in the University chapel this year.

THE INTER-STATE ORATORICAL CONTEST.
On Thursday, May 3rd, the Inter-State Oratorical Contest was held at Bloomington, Ind. Nine states were represented, each, presumably, by its best college orator. The first place was awarded to R. G. Johnson, of DePauw University, Greencastle, Ind.; the second place to H. M. Hode, of Beloit College, Wisconsin, and the third place to I. K. Wilson, of Iowa College, Grinnell, Iowa.
The subject of the winning oration is "Principles of Political Parties." It, with the other orations, has been published by the DePauw Monthly, of DePauw University and may be obtained by application to that paper. Mr. Stebbins, our representative, received last place.
The judges on thought and composition were Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, Prof. Morey, of Chicago, Ill., and Editor Winestan, of the Burlington Hawkeye, Burlington, Iowa. The judges on delivery were, Rev. Stuart, of St. Louis, Mo., Judge Frake, of Chicago, Ill., and Attorney General Michener, of Indianapolis, Ind. This list will be seen to be quite different from the one heretofore published.
In the convention held May 4, the following officers of the InterState Association were elected: Pres., A. B. Borders, of Illinois; Vice Pres., H. C. Spencer, of Indiana; Secretary Frank E. Hartigan, of Doane College, Neb.
The result of the contest is a severe disappointment to the students of K. S. U. who were confident in their representative, recognizing in him an able writer and a strong speaker. Mr. Stebbins' speech was frequently interrupted by applause, a popular compliment paid to no other contestant save once, to Johnson the winner.
We wish again to call the attention of the students to the fact that Field Day will soon be here, and that to make the exercises interesting the contestants must be well trained and prepared to "break the record." If a student excels in jumping, let him devote a small part of each day from now till commencement in making himself more proficient in that art. Let him who runs practice assiduously, and on Field Day "run like Jehu." Let him who hath strength of arm be prepared to throw like Samson the heavy sledge. No doubt there are many among the Freshmen who would acquit themselves handsomely could they but be induced to take part. The prize winners of past years should be on hand ready to do wonders, to continue the breaking of records if possible; for it is with no little pride that we inform the younger students that two athletic records have been broken by students of K. S. U In regard to preparation we have this to say. Excellence in athletics, or in anything else for that matter, demands special attention to some one department. Better to be first in some one branch than to be "fair all round." Decide whether running, jumping walking, wrestling or kicking i your "fort," and prepare accordingly. Do not let the lack of a gymnasium stand in the way o making Field Day a success, feature of commencement week to which faculty and students can point with pride."
THAT CONTEST.
THE "Breeze," a paper printed and published by the students of a so-called college at Baldwin, shortly after the inter-state contest sent out an extra in heavy mourning, containing such a sneaking, dastardly, cowardly attempt at venting petty jealousy and personal malice as is rarely found in a political sheet, not to mention a sheet sent out by an institution of the church. We were mocked at because the orator from Kansas received last place. The editors of this pusillanimous sheet rejoiced with fiendish delight because Stebbins' rank had fallen below our expectations.
One would have thought that Baker had won the contest and was rejoicing at having defeated her rival; and that the editors, laboring under the excitement of victory, had sent forth their little sheet to proclaim that victory. Perhaps it was a victory. But who with any sense of honor or propriety would rejoice at such a victory; a victory gained only at the expense of the whole state.
Not satisfied with taunting us in defeat and boasting over their joy, a comparison of scores was invited.
It might have been well had they been content with the accomplishment of their schemes, and left their boasts to another time. But this did not accord with their natures.
While we do not claim to be angels or ministers to angels, we yet think ourselves able to recognize a conspiracy when we see it. Did we say conspiracy? Let us see. Perhaps the editors of the "Breeze" know something about this matter which does not allow their consciences, if not already seared, to rest in peace.
The constitution of the Inter-State Oratorical Association says: "Each State Association shall be notified of their (judges) appointment at least six weeks before the contest." Why was it that our State Association was never informed of such appointments, although we had the President of the Inter-State association in our own state? Why was it that Mr. Platt, Secretary of the State Association, and one of the delegates, from Kansas, did not know who the judges were until after he had reached Greencastle, Indiana? Did the editors of the "Breeze," one of whom had a voice in the choosing of the judges know this? If so, how can they explain such action?
Again, why was Atty. Genl. Michener of Indiana, chosen for one of the judges on delivery, when the constitution plainly says that "no judge on delivery shall be from the same state in which the contest is held unless in case of extreme emergency"? Can it be called a case of extreme emergency when the election was made at least a week before the contest? The President of the Association was surely not so ignorant as to be unaware that such action was in direct violation of the provisions of the constitution. Then why was it done? Even after his attention was called to this provision by the orator from Kansas, and Mr. Michener was protested against as a judge, nothing was done. True, our orator was told that hundreds of men had been telegraphed and hundreds of letters had been written to all the prominent men in our land in a vain effort to get judges. But it is believed that some, at least, of these men, men of national reputation whom it was claimed had been invited had never received such invitation and had never declined to serve. We are a modest University, but we must say that we hardly think the "records of any of our orators will "compare" with such "records" as these.
Had our State Association received the notice required in the constitution, the judges who were intense partisans would have been
removed on a protest from our orator. But such protest was rendered impossible by the action of the executive committee. Kansas, with the president of the association, who is one of the executive committee, was completely ignored. Whether such results were the simple results of circumstance or that of a conspiracy we leave to our readers. Enough to say that the vice president, who belongs to the same fraternity of which Mr. Johnson, the winning orator, is a member, was so favored by circumstances as to secure the appointment of a judge in direct violation of the constitution.
Nor is this all. In a caucus of delegates it was decided to give Kansas the presidency for another year, providing it went to K. S. U. Mr Stebbins was named for the place. But on mention of this name Mr Anderson declared that he would not support a University man for any office, since the students of K. S. U. had not behaved in orthodox style while at the State Contest at Baldwin. Mr. Anderson had the presidential bee in his own bonnet, and finding that he could not get the presidency for himeslf, he determined not to let Kansas have it. Such petty jealousy, such subversion of the interest of the state to those of personal ambition, such selfishness of action ill became a man; but what shall we say when we learn that this "man" is an ordained minister of the Gospel. It is only justice to him to say that after pleading with him for two precious hours, the delegates finally succeeded in working him up to such a state of grace that "with malice toward none and charity for all" he threw his arms around Stebbins' neck and said that he had concluded to "let the dead past bury its dead," and that he would support him for the office. But in the convention next morning no Anderson was to be seen. He had forgotten his promise perhaps, and had flown to a more congenial clime where such views as his are inculcated and where such talents and such actions find a heartier appreciation. A comparison of records will probably show that K. S. U. has never furnished a delegate of such ideal manhood as this. It is fitting to remark that she is content that she has not.
It may be urged that this did not defeat Mr. Stebbins, and hence that Baker is free from any charge of disloyalty to Kansas interests. If such disloyalty did not exist why did not Mr. Campbell, when the vote taken for president in the convention resulted in a tie, decide the vote in favor of the Kansas man? Was he ignorant of that clause in the constitution which says that "in case of a tie in voting he (the Prest.) shall cast the deciding vote"? Actions speak louder than words. We leave the inference from such actions to be drawn by our readers.
While we are peaceable people,
and court no controversy, there is still a limit to forbearance, a limit which forbids us to pass by in silence even the taunts of such a sheet as the "Breeze," when the men behind it after helping to down the State of Kansas in the Inter-State Association, so forget themselves as to boast of it as a victory. A limit which bids us say that when Baker challenges K. S. U. for a comparison of records, she but exhibits her accustomed ignorance of her own baseness and insignificance. We commend her to a more prudent course in the future.
The Excursion.
The excursion planned by the Political Science Club has been abandoned. Explicit agreements, made with Prof. Canfield, in writing have been evaded or abandoned by those who made them, and he has been met by such obstacles that, in connection with such decidedly un-picnic-like weather, it has been thought best to give up the project. Somewhere there was "a mistake" claimed by the U. P. Ry., and the rate was raised ten dollars a car. Then it was found that the road could not deliver the party at the Soldiers' Home, as was agreed, but expected the students to walk half a mile or more. Later, a forfeiture of fifty dollars was demanded in case the weather was such that the party could not go. And last of all, came a telegram revoking the permission given to visit the Military Prison. The base ball match at Topeka naturally drew many in that direction. With these obstacles, and with the thermometer hovering about the freezing point, that which certainly promised to be the pleasantest excursion of the season melted, (or rather, froze) away.
THE files of the COURIER in the University library have never been complete. At the request of the librarian we are now trying to supply the missing numbers. We wish to obtain copies of the following issues: 1885—1886, number 1; 1886—1887, all numbers except number 4; 1887—1888, numbers 9, 10, 13, 16 and 20. Any person having these numbers, or any of them, in his possession will confer a favor upon us, and upon the University, by handing them to the editor-in-chief.
An unpleasant mistake occurred in our issue of week before last in the statement that Prof. Blake was guilty of whispering audibly in the library. The article was written Blank, and was meant to be entirely impersonal. Prof. Blake is always thoughtful of the students, whether in the library or elsewhere, and we hope he will pardon our blunder.
THE report of the inter-state oratorial contest was crowded out last week but we publish it in this issue, hoping that it does not come too late to be of some interest.

Robert Downing's Successful Appearance as Spartacus, the Gladiator.
The Century and Scribner for May at J. D. Smith's News Depot.
Tuesday, May 22nd., Robert Downing will give "The Gladiator" at the Opera House. This was McCullough's great play, and in Downing it has found its second great interpreter. The following criticism taken from Tuesday's Kansas City Times (Downing has been at the Gillis all this week) speaks for itself:
"It has been many a day since a Kansas City audience has shown such enthusiasm as was manifested by the large audience that greeted Robert L. Downing at the Gillis last night on his first appearance in this city as a star. Probably not since the days of Forrest has there been an American actor so eminently endowed by nature for the character of Spartacus. In both physical and vocal qualifications there is little to desire to make Mr. Downing's Spartacus an ideal one. Mr. Downing was repeatedly called before the curtain at the end of each act after the first. Mr. Mack has spared no pains to give this play every advantage of handsome scenery and well-nigh perfect stage appointments. Several of the scenes are really gorgeous while the armors and costumes are rich and historically correct."

The Baldwin Index is so disloyal to Kansas that it appears in mourning, heralding abroad "Died at Greencastle, Indiana, May '88, the K. S. U." Our love for that institution is not so great as to fire our hearts with an irresistable desire to engage in any strife in its behalf. And provided we did cherish such
an affection, an exhibition of our eagerness to fight in behalf of the interests of the K. S. U. would be uncalled for, because, if we are any judges the K. S. U. is old enough and big enough and ought to be strong enough to fight its own battles. But we can not but express our indignation at the Kansas College, the journal, or the individual student of any Kansas institution of higher learning, that will exult and chuckle in his sleeve upon hearing that the representative of the Sunflower State was defeated in the Inter-State Oratorical Contest. We cannot believe that The Index voices the sentiments of the majority of students of Baker University. We do not believe that they are so disloyal. It sounds more like the sentiment of a certain chairman of the Inter-State Executive Committee, who before his election we understand, promised to do everything in his power to advance Kansas interests, but when elected, after he learned that Baker University would not represent the state in the Inter-State Contest, after he knew that the Kansas oration embodied independent political ideas, made arrangements that every judge upon that contest should be a violent politica partisan.
The chairman of this committee knew or should have known that the constitution provides that every state association shall receive a notice of the appointment of judges at least six weeks before the contest, yet we are informed by an officer of the Kansas Association that no such notice was ever received by the Kansas Association. The constitution also says: "No judge upon delivery shall be selected from the state in which the contest is held." Yet printed accounts of the contest inform us that one of the judges on delivery was Hon. L. T. Michener of Indianapolis, Attorney General of Indiana, and we have also heard it rumored that this gentleman was a friend of one of the contestants. Or perhaps the announcement in The Index voices the spirit of a certain chairman of the Kansas delegation to the Convention who we are told worked very earnestly for the interests of Kansas so long as he thought his delegation would consider it a favor to vote for a Baker man for the presidency for a second term and especially since Baker would represent the state through the medium of such a worthy individual as himself. But so soon as this gentleman learned that the delegation entertained views altogether different, it is reported that his ardor suddenly dampened, and that he left Greencastle and went to Indianapolis, and did not for a moment attend the convention. The gentleman perhaps forgot that the Kansas association sent him as a delegate to that convention to guard her interests, and in order that he might have no excuse
for not doing so,paid his expenses to and from Greencastle.
As far as Washburn is concerned, previous to every State Contest she will, as she has always done, enthusiastically support her own representative, but after that contest she will, as she always has done, abide by the decision, and as heartily support the Kansas representative, no matter from what institution he may hail.—Washburn Reporter.
We give space to the above clipping to show the feeling of an uninterested (except in a patriotic way) observer of affairs pertaining to the recent oratorical contest. It is the expression of one of the fairest and ablest of Washburn's students, and one who is by virtue of his position, thoroughly conversant with the things whereof he speaks.
With all the rivalry between Washburn and ourselves, yet her students are able to rise above the petty jealousies of college strife, and have in their hearts a patriotic feeling for Kansas colleges and students.
Compare the whole-hearted declarations in this Washburn editorial with the splenic venting of spite and jealousy in the Baker papers
A crowd of about 250 students and town people paid an admission fee of five cents Monday afternoon to see the game of Ball between the K. S. U. and Baldwin City nines. Taylor fanned seven men and Humbert and Dugger together fanned six men. Although rather one-sided the game was a good one, and the K. S. U. boys were applauded several times. Murphy of Baldwin City umpired the game.
The following are the names of the players and their positions.

Washborn Vanquished
For several years past the University and Washburn College have had a yearly "meet" on the base ball diamond, and time after time the former has been vanquished. In fact our defeats had grown somewhat monotonous, and the desire to win a game from Washburn was universal.
It was the belief of those interested that if we were ever to be victorious it must be this year. Filled with this belief about seventy-five (75) enthusiastic and loyal "Rock-chalks" accompanied the University club to Topeka last Saturday to witness the game which had been previously arranged by Captains Deford and Brewster. The subjoined score will show that they were not disappointed.
Topeka was reached about 12:30 p. m., and representatives from Washburn conducted the club to the college where it was announced that dinner would be served. And right here we must criticize Washburn for its treatment of the visiting club. The managers of the club, or some one, who had the matter in charge, signally failed in the discharge of his duties. For when the K. S. U. boys arrived at the college, tired and hungry, they found that absolutely no provision had been made for them. And it was only through the kindness of several of the Washburnites (to whom much credit and gratitude is due) that they were cared for at all. Aside from this everything passed off pleasantly and harmoniously.
The game was called shortly after 4 o'clock, with Washburn at the bat. McMillan made a tally and the side was retired. K. S. U. came to the bat and by heavy hitting and costly errors on the part of Washburn's first baseman and catcher scored eight runs. After this inning the game was well played by both sides and was very even. Washburn secured 4 more runs and the University 5. When the game was concluded the K. S. U. boys went wild with enthusiasm, Cheer after cheer went up mingled with the University yell.
The best work for the University club was undoubtedly done by its battery. Taylor was a surprise to the Washburns and held them down remarkably well. Campbell gave him perfect support and caught an errorless game. Voorhis also played a good game. Brewster pitched a strong game but was given poor support by McMillan, who dropped the third strike four times. Chamberlain's playing was creditable.
Sugrue the umpire gave entire satisfaction, not a single decision was called into question.

THE PRIZE ORATION OF THE INTER-
STATE ORATORICAL CONTEST.
Delivered by R. G. JOHNSON, DePauw University, Greencastle, Ind.
We live under a government of majorities. Through party organization alone can the will of the majority be ascertained. If there were no parties, no principles enunciated, no tickets nominated, each citizen must write his own ballot, and from the multiplicity of interests, the conflict of desires, endless confusion would result. Parties represent ideas, convictions concerning the rights of men in government. To secure majorities parties must be organized under the broadest political principles. As the principle narrowed the number of followers is correspondingly decreased. Parties representing narrow issues can no more secure majorities than can a religious denomination, representing details in worship, include a majority of Christians. Without organization upon the broadest principles majorities are impossible. Two fundamental principles give two parties.
Whence are these principles derived? They are found in the universal law of action and reaction. This law exists in the nature of all matter, of all force. Consider a shooting star, a sweeping hurrican, a political revolution, a religious reformation; they are but manifestations of a universal conflict between two forces, one tending to produce change, the other to resist it. Progress, social or political, is the resultant of this conflict. This law, inherent in mind and matter, divides men into radicals and conservatives, and upon this division are established political parties around whose principles the people gather and cluster as bits of steel about the poles of a magnet. What is all political history but the record of the action and reaction of radical and conservative ideas crystalized about contending principles of government?
The conflict has always been between the ideas of strong central and local self government—a constant struggle to maintain an equilibrium of these forces. The dagger of Brutus sought not so much to stab the body of Caesar as to destroy the tendency toward centralization. The ruins of rich cities upon the Rhine stand solemn monuments of the reaction against that declaration of absolutism, "I am the State." In Russia, in Austria, in Germany, this conflict prevails. The last seven centuries of Irish history is but a
esperate struggle between these same antagonistic forces. The principle of the Whig party in England, "that all positive institutions exist for the general good," stood arrayed against the Tory principle "of the divine rights of kings." It flamed, like the motto of Constantine, an inspiration to the Commons; it fired with dauntless courage Hampden and Pym and Cromwell and Milton. Constantly resisted by the conservative idea that "the King can do wrong," it steadily gained the vantage-ground securing self-government for the Englishman at home, rising victorious in New England, winning the day at Lexington, at Bunker Hill and Yorktown, until we behold its legitimate fruit in the fundamental principles of our government, that "the people are the true source of all political power."
At the formation of our constitution, these ever active and opposing principles were at work, contending for the shaping of the Republic's destiny and creating the two great parties that must ever control it—one advocating strong central, the other local self-government. But did the acceptance of the Federal principle in the constitution destroy the logic by which Hamilton urged a strong central government, or that by which Jefferson contended for the opposing principle of State sovereignty? By no means. The same parties, actuated by the same presistent principles, divided upon the interpretation of that constitution, and have passed down the century in unbroken parallel lines. Whatever their name, they have never lost their identity; whether denominated Federalist or Anti-Federalist, Republican or Democrat, one has been the liberal, the other the strict constructionist in the interpretation of the constitution, and because of this, one has always desired more, the other less, legislation on measures of national reform and progress. Hamilton's tariff policy, internal improvements, the disposition of the public lands, Calhoun's nullification resolutions—all involved the question of the relative functions of state and national government. It was this when Webster met in matchless eloquence the champion of the South; the same conflict when our fathers shouldered muskets and marched to the fields of death. Back of the lines of steel at Gettysburg and Appomattox, aiming every bayonet, loading every cannon, inspiring every charge, sublime in the smoke of conflict, stood colossal the opposing principle of State and Nation. Ah! there was more than a social and moral issue in that contest. Our Lincolns, our Summers, our Grants met the Davises, the Stephenses, the Lees, not on the moral issues of slavery only—they fought for a broader idea, a political principle. They fought for the integrity of the nation.
The war wrote in characters of blood, "Each state is subordinate to the nation;" but it left human nature unchanged, and the silent conflict of centralization and local self-government, agitated by new issues, goes on.
An era of good feeling, as during
Monroe's administration, may prevail, hiding temporarily, these differentiating principles from public view; nevertheless, they exist. They are the criteria to which every political issue is referred. Because one believes that the national government should foster home industries by protection, the other that the function of government ceases with securing "tariff for revenue only," the two great parties are divided upon the tariff question. Opposition to the interstate commerce, the government postal telegraph and the Blair educational bills is based upon the fundamental idea that such legislation is an invasion of the rights reserved to the States.
Both from necessity and expediency two great parties exist. By mutual criticism both are kept within the bounds of reason. As the suspension of one physical force would disperse the myriad planets into chaos, or the suspension of the other bring them to a dead center, so the removal of the motive force underlying one party would bring despotism, as the suspension of the other would drive us to anarchy and confusion.
When these great principles are in abeyance, minor parties, based upon social and moral issues, spring into existence. Such parties fail because they involve no political principle broad enough to subject that of a dominant party.
Did the Abolition party enact the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments? The Liberal party, the Free-soilers, the Anti-Masons, the Greenbackers all have folded their tents and sleep in peace, while the two parties representing principles of government ever prevail. Does not the failure of these portend the same fate for the Labor and Socialist parties of to-day?
reason entitled one-third partyists to dictate to twenty sincere temperance men of a dominant party just how prohibition shall come? He points to no law enacted by assemblies of his political faith, to no triumph at the polls. In New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, third party tickets have defeated temperance legislation, and whenever it fails to co-operate with a dominant party its effect is to put the temperance cause into the hands of its enemies. Five states have already demonstrated the inability of the Prohibition party to accomplish any good results through its own strength and it only remains for the other thirty-three to consign it to oblivion. Every temperance enactment has come through dominant parties; every attempt at reform through a third party has resulted in disaster. A political party is not called into existence to serve a transient issue, then pass away forever. The causes of real political difference are opinions with respect to principles of government; these causes are permanent, inherent in the nature of man. Social and moral issues do not, can not, originate or sustain a political party; for when these issues are thrust into politics they involve the principles underlying the parties which of necessity already exist and upon these basal principles must be politically be finally settled.
The error of outside party reformers, is a misconception of the essential nature of parties and their relation to the people. All problems of law and politics have a real and an ideal side. Neglecting the real, idealists evolve abstract theories, fanatics attempt to put them into practice. Having but one idea, they consider it of supreme importance, and, viewing it alone and not in its relation to the other necessary ideas of government, they have a distorted view of all. Their theories presuppose an ideal state of mankind unattainable so long as human nature is the basis of society. In practice, the third-partyist accomplishes the opposite of his theory. Under the theory of emancipating the slaves, third-partyism defeated Clay and elected Polk, precipitating the Mexican war, and the further extension of slavery. It elevated to the presidency that tool of the slave power, Buchanan, well nigh wrecking the Union. But what of the Independent Prohibition party? Shall six million temperance men forsake the parties of Hamilton and Jefferson, of Jackson and Clay, parties established upon principles of government, for a party based upon a social and moral issue? What superior intelligence or force of
Back of every reform and every statute stands public sentiment, which ests not on parties, statutes or creeds; but upon the perception of right and wrong implanted in the bosom of man. Public sentiment is the omipotent power that enacts, enforces, lethrones. What is your statute, your penalty, unless behind it stands a living public sentiment? The man is a hero who violates the law. What statute will ever stigmatize John Brown as a murderer, or write the name of Benedict Arnold along side that of "the father of his country?" Public sentiment rules a political party with inexorable decree. It said to the Democratic party. "Put Boss Tweed behind the bars," and it was obeyed. It spoke again, and gray haired Jacob Sharp passed to his grave through the same cell. Not third party but public sentiment, dictated that sentence in the Republican platform, "Iowa has no compromise to make with the saloons." "Public sentiment sustained the mayor of an Irish-American city who decreed that only the stars and the stripes should float from the flag staff of the City Hall. It pronounced against a third term. It said to the hero of Appomattox, in whose presence the crowned heads of Europe had stood uncovered, and whose praises had been echoed in every tongue of the civilized world, "thus far and no farther," and the most distinguished citizen of the world retired to the shades of private life. Without public sentiment nothing can succeed; with it nothing can fail. Temperance reform will come, not by reason of third party, but in spite of it. It will come because the sublimest forces of a christian civilization are at work creating a public sentiment before which evil will flee as from the avenging angel of God. Statesmen must adopt the will of their constituents or fall before the flood-tide of popular opinion. Political parties, based upon essential principles of government and commanding majorities, alone wield sufficient power to enforce the dictates of public opinion.
These outside movements are but ripples upon the great sea of political thought; they can never change the direction of resistless ocean currentsIdentified with permanent parties are the rich legacies of patriotic statesmen; the mystic chords of memory, stretching from a thousand battlefields, where sleep the dead, bind men to these parties with ties that cannot be severed by transient issues. The feeling of loyalty, inspired by father's sword, hallowed by mother's tears throws a halo around their principles that can never be extinguished by the will-o'-the wisp of independent parties. Issues come and issues go, but political parties, based upon inherent tendencies of human nature, dignified by brilliant intellects, cemented by the blood of brave men, go on forever. Abstract theorists may battle against nature, cultured independence may seek to degrade their principles, but the parties representing them will stand—they will stand
"As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form,
Swells from the vale and midway leaves the
storm;
Though round its breast the rolling clouds are
spread,
Eternal sunshine settles on its head."
The following is an extract from a letter received this week by Prof. Carruth :
"I wish to take this opportunity to express my pleasure at the gentlemanly manner in which not only your club, but also all the students who accompanied you behaved during our last game. I realize fully all the temptations at such times, especially to a visiting college, and can but compliment you."
Yours very truly,
ROB. STONE,
Mgr. Washburn Blues.
The above speaks for itself. We can only say in return that we deeply regret the remarks made by the Lawrence Journal in regard to the game. They were certainly discourteous, and were not at all in harmony with the feelings of the members of the K. S. U. nine, or of the other students of K. S. U.
Mrs. Atwoods' Recital.
The first concert in the program for commencement exercises was given last Tuesday night by Miss Birdie Atwood. The concert was a success in every particular, and perhaps, has never been equaled by any concert given by the music departments. The best part was the concerto in B minor. Prof. MacDonald playing the second piano, although the whole program was rendered admirably and shows the excellent training given by the music department, and the singing of Miss Ila Williams and Miss Georgie Brown was a good and interesting feature of the program.

WEST NEW BRIGHTON, STATEN ISLAND,
DEAR SIR: I have your note of inquiry of the 6th. I do not remember that I received an invitation to serve as judge of the Inter-State Oratorical Contest at Greencastle, Ind., May 3d, and I certainly did not decline.
Leslie's Popular Monthly, the North American Review and the Form at J. D. Smith's.
Are prepared to give estimates and show samples for the Finest Kind of engraved invitations for the Graduating Class, and for Society and Class Parties and Receptions.
Also can supply MENU CARDS for Banquets and Suppers.
NOTHING shows more clearly that there was a deliberate interest on the part of the President of the Inter-State Oratorical Association, and the other members of the executive committee, to choose judges that were bitter partisans, and who would mark the production of the Kansas orator low, than the fact that Mr. Campbell was written to by our orator, some months before the Contest was held to know if the judges had yet been selected, and if so, who they were? To which he replied that they were having some trouble about selecting the judges, and that he was not at liberty to state all the facts in the premises. Now, it has been since ascertained that one of the judges, at least, on thought and composition who was a bitter partisan had been selected when Mr. Campbell wrote that he was not at liberty to state. Why was he not at liberty to state? The constitution of the Association provides that he shall state, "why did he not do so? Because he knew that this judge who had been selected at that time would be challenged by our orator. The constitution provides that each State shall have two challenges. Again, when our orator reached Greencastle, and learned who had been selected judges on"Thought and Composition," the President of the Association was asked if these were the only men that could be procured for judges; he answered :— "that they were." He said hundreds of men had been written to, and none but these would accept; he proceeded to name over some who had been written and who had declined, among them he named Geo. William Curtis. These men have all been written to since to know if they ever received such invitations, but only one answer has as yet been received. We append a copy of this.
Please call as soon as possible, so as to give time for good work. Agents for Childs, of Chicago, and carrying samples from the greatest engraving firms in the United States.
