The "Sunflower," as the book of K. S. U. poems is called, has made its appearance and is now ready for distribution. The fact that the work has been edited by Prof. Marsh is a guarantee that it will be a credit to K. S.U. The book has a very neat appearance and will no doubt sell readily Every student should secure at least one copy to take home; it will speak "volumes" for the University.
Last Friday afternoon the Science Club held its third annual meeting in Snow Hall. At half past five o'clock, after finishing a long and interesting programme, the entire club adjourned to the residence of Mr. B. W. Woodward, where they were handsomely entertained.

The inter-fraternity base ball penant has at last been completed and now adorns the window of Field & Hargis. The penant was won by the Phi Psis last year.
Many people seem not to understand the objects and purposes of the Law School. Some, apparently have the idea that it is simply a place to hold mock courts, and teach the students how best to defend criminals, and prove that black is white; then, at the close of the term go before a committee, with a goodly supply of cider and cigars, have a jolly social time, call it an examination, and be admitted to the bar.
Law.
Nothing is further from the truth. Just as the college is the place to acquire a literary education, so the law school is the proper place to get a legal education. Here is taught the history of law and its relations to society, the principles upon which law is founded, constitutional and international law, and sound learning in all the principal branches of this universal science. In the school the student is not left to pursue his own desultory plans of study, but the work is directed by the faculty, and taken up in a methodical and logical manner. The student who is an apprentice to an attorney and gets his education by doing the drudgery of the office, and poring over books in a corner, at odd intervals, will find his education very deficient: ita lex scripta est, will be the limits of his knowledge. The student in the law school comes into contact with men of his own, and superior ranks in life. He is inspired by the emulations of the class-room disputations, and actual practice in preparing pleadings and arguing cases. Through the medium of the Kent

Club, moot courts, and office work, he goes forth better prepared for his work than it is possible for him to be who has been wholly educated in the office, and only one side of him developed.
At the close of the term the members are given a rigid written examination by the faculty, consisting of from twenty-five to thirty questions on each of eighteen branches. In addition to this they pass another examination before a committee of three members of the bar, appointed by the judge of the district. This year this committee is to be composed entirely of non-resident members, and comprises some the best legal talent of the State.
Tuesday evening, May 29th, a grand benefit concert was tendered to Mr. P. D. Aldrich by the musical circles of Lawrence. The audience was large and appreciative, and the programme the best that has been presented to a Lawrence audience for a long time.

LINES--NOT ON SPRING.
Wearily the poet's head
Wearily the poet's head
Dropped upon his folded arms,
Motionless, as he were dead.
Sat he thus while moments sped,
Deaf to clock ticks and alarms.
Dead he cannot be, for heart
Heaves he now a long-drawn sigh—
From the very books — as care
Something agitates the seer.
Is it poverty or pie?
Seet he raiseth up his head—
Frenzled rolls his poet's eye.
I think I white was that word he said,
Murmured low in accents dread,
Clutching nervous hands on high?
"Kingdoms for a theme," he cries,
Loudly, wildly o'er and o'er.
("Murray, no nine. Murray, wise."
Ye with brains not mortals' size,
Come and help me, I implore.
"Soon, too soon, that poem's due—
Not a single thought have I—
Ah, me miserum eheu!
Help me, Muses, or I die."
To his feet he mady springs, Walks the floor with fevered trend.
Where a calendar down swings,
And against it bumps his head.
Once more to his senses brought,
“April ist,” he slowly reads:
But it means to him but naught.
With his brain so over-fraught
With the mor
Then, like sunshine after rain,
On his mind doth burst a light—
"Joy, oh, rapture—am I sane?"—
Spring has come! Ah, glad refrain!
Spring has come! Ah, glad refrain!
And on that, of course, I'll write."

THE last number of the Review is an especially interesting one. The literary department contains some good matter. The efforts of the present editor-in-chief and staff have resulted in a great improvement of the magazine over what it was last year. It is now a credit to the University and deserves the hearty support of all the students.
THE quiet of Washburn has been broken by the sudden appearance of an anonymous journal, appropriately named the Night Hawk. This bird of prey, coming under the cover of night, attacks indiscriminately and without reserve. Its attack upon the Argo and the Reporter is vituperative and seems to spring from a malicious heart. However, the reputation of these two journals has been passed upon by the students and the croakings of an ill-omened bird can do them no harm. The editor devotes his whole columns to criticisms upon Washburn students and affairs pertaining to Washburn life. We are not without our faults and are free to confess it; but is it possible that our most worthy contemporary is with out the pale of criticism? Let those who live in glass houses throw no stones.—Argo.
THE Messachorean raises a long, loud, mournful wail because the Courier a few weeks ago touched it in a tender spot. Its effort at bombast is really quite amusing. After expanding on its own merits and the amount of [stale] matter it publishes, and telling the Courier how proud it ought to be to have its name mentioned in a "Paper like the Messachorean," it even has the conceit to mention its own name in the same sentence with the Hesperian. Why, dear Messachorean, the Hesperian is a college journal with some literary merit! How dare you compare your dreary, empty pages, edited by a fourth-class faculty, with a live student journal like the Hes-
This reminds us of the infamous posters circulated in June, '86, by a certain student at that time well known in K. S. U.
perian? Your effrontery is shocking! The COURIER makes no attempt at literary journalism. It only claims to be a college newspaper, and to furnish a medium for the expression of student views. In this it to a great extent succeeds. The Messachorean attempts to be both a newspaper and a literary magazine, but it succeeds in neither. Its news is always a month old, and it hasn't published a literary article worthy of a Prep. this year, even if it has been edited by the faculty. The Messachorean, after misrepresenting its own name, ends up its tirade with the same poor, little pun that it has used so often. We hope its faculty will be able to conjure up a new one before its next issue, for this one is becoming some what ancient.
A thorough education is every where considered as an essential qualification for the successful prosecution of a profession. This truth has impressed itself so forcibly upon the mind of the average citizen that a thorough education is thought to be intended only for those who expect to engage in a profession. Indeed, some have gone farther, and asserted that the common industries demand a good supply of common sense rather than the accumulation of uncommon knowledge, which is supposed to result from a college course. Those who make this assertion forget that it is not this impractical knowledge, but rather the discipline and culture acquired in seeking it that makes a college course beneficial. In reply to this it is said there is no demand in the lower industries for this discipline and culture. To a limited extent this is true. At best, this discipline and refinement which college alumni are supposed to possess finds a greater reward in the professions than in the lower pursuits. Perhaps, for this reason college men have ever turned to professional life for their avocations. Fortunately, there is a tendency to-day to raise all the higher pursuits—such as journalism, teaching, engineering, etc., to the dignity of professions. This will open other avenues for professionally trained talent and increase the number of occupations requiring a college training. Instead of being limited to a choice between the ministry, medicine or law, our graduates find at least half a dozen professions offering remunerative employment. This increase of the professions will of course, result in decreasing the number of those who otherwise would crowd the old established professions. In this state the alumni of the University are rapidly advancing to the leadership of every profession. Especially in teaching, in journalism and in law, they are becoming prominent, and the day is not far distant when the alumni of K.S. U. will form the front rank in the professional life of Kansas.
Henry George was judge on a joint debate at Columbia recently.
A great many students seem to think that they can take a paper all year and then avoid paying their subscriptions. They think they have done a brilliant thing—something becoming a financier. They do not seem to regard it as a debt that they owe, a fair and honest debt, but rather as an account that has been charged up against them, and which they are under no obligations to pay. To such we would like to present some facts. It has cost over $700 to run the Courier this year, besides the amount of labor and time that is spent by the staff of editors in getting it up which would be easily worth $300 more. That is, this paper comes to you every week at a cost in time and money of over $1,000 a year. You have received it and read it. We doubt not that it has furnished you more satisfaction and pleasure than any other one thing at its price. And still you are trying to defraud the company out of your subscription. You may not like the word *defraud*, but isn't it about what it amounts to? Of course the want of your dollar will not ruin the paper. But the paper has a right to it and you have not. Honest men pay their debts of a dollar just as scrupulously as those of many dollars. Of course there are many who are delinquent in this matter from carelessness. But there is a large class who never intend to pay. To the former we only wish to say that we hope they will think of it before leaving. But to the latter we repeat, the above most emphatically.
PROBABEY no educator of late years has acquired the prominence that is accorded Hon. Andrew D. White, Ex-President of Cornell University. On all subjects relating to the higher education of American youth his statements carry with them the weight of successful experience.
In the June Forum under the title, "The Next American University" he advocates the foundation of a National University at Washington. "The idea," he says, "is the result of no sudden impulse or whim; it is the outgrowth of years of observation and thought among men as well as among books, in public business as well as in university work, in other countries as well as our own.
Our country has all ready not far short of four hundred colleges and universities more or less worthy of those names, besides a vast number of high schools and academies quite as worthy to be called colleges and universities as many which bear those titles. But the system embracing all these has by no means reached its final form. Probably in its more complete development the stronger institutions, to the number of twenty or thirty, will, within a generation or two become universities in the true sense of the word, restricting themselves to university work; beginning, perhaps, at the studies now usually undertaken in the Junior year of our colleges, and carrying them on through the Senior year, with two or three years of professional study afterward. The best of the others will
probably accept their mission as colleges in the true sense of the word, beginning the course two years earlier than at present, and continuing it to what is now the Junior year. Thus they will do a work intermediate between the general school system of the country and the universities, a work which can be properly called collegiate, a work, the need of which is now sorely felt, and which is most useful and honorable. Such an organization will give us as good a system as the world has ever seen probably the best system.
ONE OF THE ACTORS.
As the commencement season approaches, and the students are called upon to devote time to the preparation of appropriate exercises, we often wonder of what use such exercises are to the University, and if they have any use at all. It has long been the custom with educational institutions to close the year's work with fitting exercises, and to dismiss the seniors with a general jubilee. But why is all this apparently uses less expenditure of time and energy? To use Bagehot's expression, all University work may be said to be divided into the efficient and the dignified or theatrical. The efficient part includes all class-room work and embraces by far the greater portion of our work. It is pre-eminently for this that the state levies taxes for our support. But it is only those who frequent our class room from day to day, and really perform the duties of the student or instructor who know any thing about it. Although it is the maintenance of efficient work which is the object of every student and friend of the University, yet the dignified or theatrical part, which includes commencement exercises and all in that line is not less essential. This department is not maintained but for its imaginative attractions upon the public. Indeed it is through this medium alone that our work is brought into notice. How many people of Kansas, let us say friends of the Uuiversity, would be interested in the routine of the class room? But what crowds gather in the chapel during the commencement season. Thus it may be truly said, that the theatrical element is maintained for the benefit of those who have not the ability to appreciate thoroughly the efficient. But the student also is influenced by the dignified element Who does not study harder during his collegiate years, inspired by the hope of having an opportunity to take a part in commencement theatricals. Yet all such elements tend to diminish simple efficiency. All purely ornamental work is a source of fiction and error. But on account of its important bearing on the public, and because it is expected of us, our commencement exercises should be kept up, and every student should participate in them heartily
KANSAS IN 1854 AND 1888.
Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson, of Cambridge, Mass., who is to deliver the oration before the literary societies of the University of Kansas,
on Monday evening of commencement week (June 4), was a prominent figure in early Kansas history. In the autumn of 1854 he conducted a company of free state men from New England to the territory, and at once became intimately associated with the men who had determined that Kansas should be free from the blight of slavery. In 1862 he entered the army a captain in the Fifty-first Massachusetts regiment. Soon after he was made colonel of the First South Carolina volunteers. In August, 1863, he was wounded at Willtown Bluff, and in October, 1864 he resigned his commission on account of disability
Colonel Higginson earnestly advocates the higher education of women, and specially champions their right to share the educational advantages offered by Harvard University. It is singularly appropriate that such a man deliver the address before the literary societies in the State University of Kansas This institution has from the beginning in 1866, received the sexes upon terms of absolute equality. Co-education in Kansas has long since ceased to be an experiment. We doubt not that Colonel Higginson will return to Cambridge confirmed in the opinion so long and so tenaciously held that our boys and girls are better educated and that they develop into better men and women and better citizens as a result of co-education.
The Kansas which Colonel Higginson knew thirty years ago has ceased long since to exist. In its stead he will see thriving cities where then stretched the unbroken prairie Railroads now span the state in every direction. The increasing population has spread westward to the borders of Colorado. A few remain who knew the philanthropist and wrought with him for freedom in those stormy days that marked the birth of Kansas. These and multitudes besides, citizens of Kansas, without regard to party lines, will give our distinguished visitor a most hearty welcome. —Capital.

Last Wednesday night University Hall was crowded to hear the commencement concert of the Department of Music. The concert was one of the most entertaining and successful ever given here. Miss Minnie Innes in two numbers showed herself a pleasing and correct player. Miss March's singing was up to her usual standard and her selections well made. The playing of Miss Nellie Franklin was excellent. She rendered Chopin's charming waltz op 18 with special beauty and expression. Mr.J.C. Manning appeared to good advantage in his three num

bers. Mr. Manning graduates next year and his great ability is thoroughly recognized in Lawrence. Miss Lallie Buckingham is a young player much promise.
The department was assisted by Mr. J. H. Bell, who favored the audience with two cornet solos. The Department of Music closes a most successful year's work with this concert. The growth of the department is gratifying to all friends of the University and of music. Lawrence owes what she has of musical culture to this department, and with the present efficient instructors and the ones who must be added in the near future it will become one of the most widely known of University institutions.
Athenaeum Anniversary.
Last Friday night the Athenaeum Literary society held its first anniversary in University Hall. The following was the program:
Essay, Emperor William, by Miss Laura Gregg. The essay, though somewhat long, was very interesting and the delivery was good.
Oration, "The Future of Our Nation," by Miss Gertrude Hunnicutt. Miss Hunnicutt is well known as one of the best lady speakers in the University. Her oration was up to her usual high standard.
Declamation, "The Diver" by Miss McMurry. This selection was very well rendered, though the delivery was perhaps a little too dramatic.
Oration, "The Necessity and Use of Political Parties," by J. A. Mushrush. Mr. Mushrush is becoming conspicuous as an orator and his oration was a credit to him in every respect. His was one of the best efforts of the evening.
Mr. Geo. Holsinger acquitted himself admirably as president of the evening. Excellent music was furnished by J. C. Manning, Miss Jenie Weller and Dan Crew. The exercises were well appreciated by the large audience, and were certainly a credit to Athenaeum.
The fact that the edition of the "Sun Flowers" is already nearly exhausted, testifies plainly to their popularity.
Debate, "Resolved, that the interest and success of prohibition demands the formation of a third party." Affirmative, R. D. Brown. Negative, J. B. Stout. Both sides of the question were ably sustained. Mr. Brown was logical and forceable, and Mr. Stout has a goo dvoice and with training will become a fine speaker.
Local.
It is very gratifying to see the good feeling which at present exists between K. S. U. students and those of Washburn.
Our base ball manager, Prof. Carruth, should be congratulated for his efficient management of the base ball team. The team has made all of its own expenses.
It is to be regretted that the students have been too busy to get up a field day program. There are doubtless some students present who could break previous records.
The tennis games between the Washburn and University teams were very close. Both the single and double games were won by the K. S. U. team, game being 6 to 4 in both.
The Lawrence Business College and Academy has no vacation. Students can enter at any time and pursue their studies as rapidly as their ability will permit. During the summer months is a good time to pursue a Business, Short Hand or Teachers' Course of study. The summer Normal Institute begins June 12th and continues eight weeks. The tuition for this term is $8.00.
We are under obligations to Harry Buckingham for the sketch of the Senior class and for much able assistance in other directions; and to Mr. S. T. Gilmore for the reports of Class day and Commencement day exercises. We regret that lack of space compel us to curtail our accounts of other exercises, and in some cases to crowd them out altogether.
THE NEW ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE of the Lawrence Business College and Academy of English and Classics, for 188B, is written with so much charm of style as to impart to it a delightful interest in the reading, besides it contains several specimens of pen work and engravings showing some of the departments of the college, etc., the whole combining to make a desirable compendium of Information concerning Business, Short Hand, Normal and Academic education.

Commencement day was expected to be the great day of the week. Accordingly a great crowd was present more than could possibly get inside of the doors of the chapel—and their expectations were fully realized.
Coats' House Orchestra furnished the music. Of it, it is sufficient to say that it was characterized by the artistic rendition of choice and difficult selections. It was as it has been all week—well worth going up to hear aside from the regular literary program.
The first speaker on the program was T. F. Doran. His subject was "Po'itical Mummies." His oration showed the great negligence of our better classes in political affairs and its effect upon our government. If we want good government, every citizen must participate in every caucus, in every primary, in every election, then politics and government become more pure and more honest.
W. S. Allen followed with an oration on "Roman Society as Depicted by Tacitus." In the days of Tacitus Rome was under the Emperors—brutal, cruel, merciless and avaricious rulers. The throne was generally gained by blood and in turn lost by blood. As the rulers were, so were the people. Still their stage of civilization was high.
"But we are compelled to say that its civilization, with all its brilliancy, lacked the vital spark; it was soulless, faithless, and hence really unprogressive. We would not, if we could, exchange our religious principles for their demoralizing materialism. We would not give up our political activity and freedom for their selfish indifference to responsibility, nor would we exchange our busy competitive industry for the wasteful indolence of the Roman."
"The Theory and Place of the State University," an oration by A. May Churchill, came next. It was a marshaling of the reasons for and the benefits of a university supported by the state. The University is a constant inspiration to all who are in attendance upon the public system of schools. It is in the culture gained that the best results of university training lie. The student does but freely receive, that freely he may give hereafter.
W. E. Higgins was the next speaker. His subject was "Skepticism and the Colleges."
There is a false skepticism and a true skepticism. The false doubts for fear of being thought bigots, fools, or slaves. But the true doubts that it may investigate. This age says, not our creed is the truth, but our aim is the truth. To overcome the false doubt with the true is the work of the college.
"The Economic Justification of the Organization of Labor," by John A. Presscott, was the closing oration for the class.
After laying down the principles by which economic institutions are judged, and stating the generally accepted ideal of the just rate of wages, he showed that, if the forces of perfect competition were not hampered, the actual rate of wages would correspond with the ideal rate. He then showed how the free action of competitive forces is obstructed and the dangerous effects of this obstruction upon the working-men. They must be the defenders of
their own rights, and the labor union, though often defective in its operation, seem at present to be the workingmen's best instrument.
The Masters Oration by Miss Mina E. Marvin on a study in French Literature for the length of the production was a very good review of French Literature from the time of Louis XIII.
The class of '88 may well feel proud of their Commencement exercises.
The members of the Senior Pharmacy class have located as follows: Frank L. Abbey, city drug store, Newton, Kas.; W. C. Albach has several places in view, but has not decided where he will locate; W. P. Brown can be found at his home in Leavenworth; Herbert M. Herold can also be found in Leavenworth. Ernest Himoe will connect himself with S. O. Himoe & Co., of this city; George McClaren says he will be found in K. C.; R. J. McClure will start a drug store for himself, but is not certain where; E. R. Rankin has accepted a place in the City drug store, Lawrence; Miss M. A. Rice, the only lady member, is uncertain where she will reside in the future; John W. Root may be found in Wyandotte, Kas.; C. B. Spencer has secured a place in Leiss', this city; Geo. F. Weida says his address will be 922 Tennessee street, Lawrence; A. E. Topping will take the best place and the most money.
A good audience assembled in University Hall Tuesday morning to hear the exercises of the Senior Law class. After the invocation by the Rev. R. A. George, John W. Roberts, of Wichita, delivered a strong oration, having as his subject "Why A Lawyer." Mr. Roberts' delivery is earnest and effective. His subject matter was excellent, the oration being one of the best of the day. "Our Profession" was the thesis subject of C. E. Harbaugh, of Erie, Kansas. The speaker has an enviable command of English which will serve him well in his chosen profession. The discussion on the question "Shall the Jury System be Abolished," by H. A. Peairs, of Hasper, and E. S. Rice, of Smith Centre, was interesting. Both gentlemen are good speakers, the delivery of Mr. Rice being especially good.
S. T. Gilmore, of Eudora, delivered one of the best orations of the day. His subject, "The Sphere of the Law," gave him ample scope to introduce many beautiful suggestions. His effort was one of the best of the day, although he labored under great disadvantage, owing to the fact that he was scarcely able to appear at all on account of illness.
S. P. King, of Augusta, has rather odd delivery, but his oration was an able one.
The music by the Coats House orchestra pleasantly punctuated the program. All in all it was one of the best days of the week.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.—MAIN BUILDING.
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
A grant of seventy-two sections of the public land was made by the Congress of the United States, approved January 29, 1861, for the purpose of founding and supporting a University in the State of Kansas. The State accepted this trust, and in 1864 located the institution thus in part endowed at Lawrence. The first students were received two years later, in September, 1866, 105 being enrolled. The Faculty at the beginning consisted of three men, Eliial J. Rice, D.H. Robinson, and F.H. Snow. The enrollment of students the present year is 483, the number of professors and instructors given in the catalogue just issued is thirty-one. These numbers indicate a growth sufficiently gratifying; yet an examination of the successive catalogues will reveal changes in the courses of study and in the methods of instruction still more remarkable. Four full collegiate courses are presented, besides two special and two technical courses. At the close of the Sophomore year the student is allowed a very liberal choice of optional studies leading through the Junior and Senior years, to the Bachelor's degree. In addition to these courses in the Collegiate Department proper, there have been established a School of Law, a School of Pharmacy and a School of Music. The educational and professional advantages offered by the University are singularly thorough and varied. A brief detailed statement of these different departments is herewith presented.
The Department of Natural History, F. H. Snow and L. L. Dyche, Profs.
This department of the University includes the branches of Botany, Zoology and Geology, together with Comparative eAnatomy, Human Physiology and Meteorology.
The instruction in Botany comprises a course in the elements of the science, required of all students in the Freshman class; a course of Structural Botany in the Sophomore year, intended for students of the General and Latin Scientific courses; and an optional course in Histological Botany, open to all members of the Junior and Senior classes. The method of instruction requires a judicious combination of text-book with laboratory and field practice.
Students in this way acquire an actual, personal knowledge of plants. The department is furnished with thirty dissecting microscopes and fifteen compound microscopes of the best manufacture. An herbarium containing upwards of 4,000 species of North American plants, is a valuable aid to botanical study.
A similar method of instruction has been adopted for the other branches of Natural History. The study of Zoology is facilitated by extensive collections, representing all the sub-divisions of the animal kingdom. Among these may be conspicuously mentioned the beautiful series of birds and mammals, chiefly collected and mounted by Prof. L. L. Dyche, and the extensive collections of insects prepared by Prof. F. H. Snow. The latter include about 12,000 species and upwards of 50,000 specimens, and constitute, with one exception (the Harvard University collection), the largest entomological cabinet possessed by an American university.
Students in Geology have access to a very complete and carefully arranged collection of rocks and fossils, representing all the great formations from the Silurian to the Quaternary. These collections are especially rich in Kansas material. The series of fossil plants from the Dakota rocks of Ellsworth County, chiefly collected by Mr.E.P.West, is the most extensive exhibit in the world in this line of fossils. It contains the types of more than one hundred species new to science, which will soon be published in a new volume on the Cretaceous Flora by the U.S. Geological Survey. This material affords the student a rare opportunity for tracing the relationships of the vegetation of the present time to the ancestral forms of the Cretaceous forests. Another marked feature of the geological cabinets is the representation of vertebrate fossils from Western Kansas. These include fishes, saurians, rhinoceroses, camels, three-toed horses, and many other rare and interesting types. The entire geological collection more than half fills a hall 86 feet long by 36 feet wide.
tions made by the students themselves.
The instruction in Physiology and Comparative Anatomy is conducted by means of lectures and laboratory practice, illustrated by manikins, charts and skeletons, and by dissec-
The student in Meteorology is made acquainted, by text-book, lecture and instrument with the general facts of the science, and is referred to their special application to the climate of Kansas. The subject of Kansas rainfall receives prominent attention, and the student at the close of the study is qualified to take a complete set of weather observations.
The entire work of this department is conducted in a beautiful, capacious building, erected by the State of Kansas by an appropriation of $50,000, and dedicated to the service of Natural History. The plan of this building is original and unique, and is believed to represent the best possible arrangement of museum halls, laboratories and lecture rooms.
Department of Chemistry and Mineralogy, E. H. S. Baily and E. C. Franklin. Profs.
A term's work is given in the Freshman year to the study of chemical elements and their compounds with experimental work and laboratory practice. A half term follows in the Sophomore year in qualitative analysis with lectures and laboratory work. The first of these subjects is required of all collegiate students; the second of all scientific students. The mastery of these more elementary topics prepares the way for the optional courses, thirteen of which are offered the student. A combination of these under the rules for the selection of optionals forms with a few topics chosen from other departments what is called a Course in Applied Chemistry. This course, limited to the Junior and Senior years, comprises the following:
Quantitative Analysis, three terms: Physics, two terms; Natural History; Organic Chemistry; Toxicology; Mineralogy; Geology; Philosophy; German; Assaying; and Chemical Physics.
While it is not claimed that the prosecution of these studies will make an accomplished analytical chemist, the student will make a good start in this direction. The foundation of this work is Quantitative Analysis, with special reference to accurate methods for the determination of the more abundant elements. The student, as he becomes more skillful, is taught to make complete analyses of minerals, waters, ores of iron, zinc, lead, copper &c. He is also taught the modern commercial methods for the analysis of milk, butter, sugar and alcoholic liquors. Considerable attention is also paid to the more accurate volumetric methods. By the study of Chemical Physics the student becomes familiar with the modern theories and methods for calculating results. Organic Chemistry discusses the constitution of the more complex bodies, and the methods of building them up from simpler bodies. Mineralogy is taught through the aid of blow pipe analysis. The effort is made to cultivate familiarity with the appearance and characteristics of the most important minerals so that they may be readily recognized. In the course in Assaying, while particular attention is paid to the fine assay of gold and silver ores, the methods for the volumetric determination of bullion are taught as well as some methods for the assay of coal and of ores of lead, iron, mercury and copper. In Toxicology the most approved methods for the detection of poisons are studied and this is supplemented by practical work in the laboratory upon the separation and identification of poisons in the presence of organic matter. The laboratory facilities are excellent. The rooms are large and well lighted, and ample room is provided for individual work. Each student is supplied with the apparatus required for his work and is expected to pay only for that which is broken or destroyed. A complete record of all experiments and analyses must be furnished to the instructor in charge.
Department of Civil Engineering. F. O. Marvin and E. C. Murphy, Profs.
The course in Civil Engineering was the first of the special courses to be established. The work has grown in importance and expanded in scope, keeping pace with the continual improvement going on in the University as a whole. Its aim is not that of a purely industrial school, nor does it seek to turn out tradesmen; but rather to develop a sound basis, on which the student may build, by a thorough study of the principles of science which underlie engineering operations. While engineering in founded on exact science, it is by no means exact itself, but consists of a constantly varying application of principles to practical problems; and this can be successfully done only through the exercise of good judgment on the part of those who are to furnish the solutions. Good judgment comes in most cases through close observation and personal experience in actual work, but to be right, it must be formed on a knowledge of good theory. The University then cannot send out skilled engineers, but she can and does graduate those who may become such, and who have a profession—not a trade.
Within the last twenty-five years the field of engineering has widened rapidly, so that now there is no other profession that demands so broad a scientific culture as that of the engineer. In recent modifications of the course of study, an effort has been made to meet the demand, resulting from this expansion, so far as it could be done consistently, taking into account the student's time and the thoroughness of his work. None but a phenomenal student could compass in four years the whole range of subjects which may come up in his practice.
The course as it now stands carries the pure mathematics through the calculus; it includes botany, chemistry, a year of physics, descriptive and practical astronomy, mineralogy, geology and enough of French and
German to enable the student to read fairly at sight; in draughting considerable skill is given by practical problems, while the theory of drawing is studied in descriptive geometry, shades and shadows, and perspective; under surveying comes the subjects of government land surveys, trigonometric surveys, geodesy, railroad work, levelling and topography; analytical mechanics, hydro-mechanics and resistance of materials form the basis for studies in construction, such as roofs, bridges, retaining walls, foundations, reservoirs, etc.; while municipal engineering is treated under the heads of streets and pavements, water supply and sewerage; the forms of specifications and the laws governing contracts are also discussed.
Considerable practical work is done at various points in the course. Classes have run railroad lines, surveyed land, measured base lines, established city grades, planned sewerage systems, measured the flow of the Kansas river, etc., and students have acquired sufficient familiarity with instruments and field methods to enable them immediately to fill subordinate positions with credit.
As far as instruments and apparatus are concerned, the department will be much better off the coming year than ever before, as it expects to add, besides levels, transits, etc., from makers not now represented here, a theodolite for triangulation work, a precise level, a current meter, a cement tester, and several minor appliances, with possibly a 50,000-lb testing machine. The engineering students are to be congratulated on these prospective new aids. They will make the department more efficient still.
Department of Mathematics. E. Miller and Olin Tempin. Profs.
The regular undergraduate study of students in mathematics embraces the following subjects: (a) the theory of equations; (b) solid geometry; (c) trigonometry; (d) analytical geometry; (e) differential and integral calculus; (f) method of least squares; (g) determinants; (h) quaternions. Candidates for honors, post graduate students, and competent undergraduates will take up subjects in advanced study and research that will be changed from year to year, according to circumstances. The university library has quite a good collection of mathematics by French writers, to which will soon be added some by German authors. It is expected that many of these books will be read in the original by graduate students.
Special assistance and encouragement will be given to those who have the requisite taste and ability for undertaking and following out original investigations whenever it seems advisable to do so by the instructors. Students will also be assisted in the selection of subjects which in their bands promise to be fruitful of results.

Philosophy and Didactics, P. J. Will. iams. Prof.
Elementary Psychology and the Elements of Logic, a half term each, are required of all students in the collegiate courses in the Sophomore year. In the former subject Dr. Noah Porter's Elements of Intellectual Science is used as a text-book. A study is made, from the standpoint of consciousness, of the phenomena of mind and of the ordinary classification of these phenomena. This course is designed to serve the purposes of the general student and also to prepare the way for a more intimate acquaintance with Philosophy as developed in the special studies of the Junior and Senior years. The elementary course in Logic is intended to accomplish a similar double purpose. The more extended courses in Philosophy are presented as optionals in the last two years of the collegiate course and are as follows: Psychology, one term; Ethics, one term; Metaphysics and Hamiltonian Logic, each half a term; and History of Philosophy, one term.
The desire of this department is to also give instruction in general didactics; (a) discussing the various ways in which truth can be presented and made clear to the human understanding, (whether in the form of knowledge or belief); (b) the methods of unfolding the various faculties of the mind by means of the different branches of study; (c) the circle of sciences and their relation to each other; (d) the methods in use and their relative value in teaching the different studies of our common and higher schools; (e) ways of governing and controlling and directing the human will so as to secure the greatest efficiency in the work of life; (f) history of school systems in the different ages and countries—including the methods of teaching and governing, material, truth taught, patrons of schools, the ultimate end in view, the influence on civilization, together with the biography of some of the most noted teachers in the entire history of education, presenting the most striking peculiarities of each, so that the student shall be furnished with a knowledge of those things essential to his arduous and responsible profession.
The especial design of the department is to furnish young men and women all necessary preparation for teaching in the high schools, academies and colleges of the state, also for superintending schools, so that unity, broad culture and the
best of scholarship can be secured. Already a large number of the graduates are employed in different sections of the state teaching our best schools and exerting a grand influence on the rising generation.
Department of History and Political
Languages H. Confield, Prot.
PLEMENT OF HISTORY AND POLITICAL Science, James H. Canfield, Prof.
Instruction in History and Political Science is given by means of lectures, recitations, conference and laboratory work. Special pains are taken to facilitate the use of the University library by students in this department; works closely connected with the topics under consideration being withheld from general circulation, and rendered more available by carefully prepared card-indexes.
The course in American History is prepared with especial care, with the thought that a thorough knowledge of the origin and development of the nation is one of the most essential conditions of good citizenship. Three-fifths of a term is assigned to the Calonial period, with marked attention to social life, and to institutional and industrial development. A course of thirty lectures is given on the period of the Revolution—with special reference to the financial experiments of the general government, and to the history of diplomatic relations. Three-fifths of a term is occupied with the failure of the Confederation, the struggle for the Constitution and with the text of the Constitution itself. A full two-years course (counting as one full study in each term) is offered, covering the Constitutional and Political history of the Union—from 1789 to the present. For this the library offers special facilities in a complete Congressional record, from the first Continental Congress to the present (including the Secret Journals and Diplomatic Correspondence) and a large collection of other valuable public documents. Lastly, two-fifths of a term is given to the history of Tariff Legislation, which is carried entirely by the laboratory and conference methods; students making their own researches in public records.
A three-fifths course is offered in the History of Civilization, with special attention to the growth of popular power and the development of democracy. This is followed by a two-fifths course in Causes and Results of French Revolutions—the still further progress of democratic ideas.
A three-fifths course is given in English History, with particular reference to the rise of the people, the growth of Parliament, and the power of the Commons. Supplementing this is a two-fifths course in the study of the English Constitution—the practical workings of the present system of government, with a running comparison of the French system and that of the United States.
A full term's work in Political Economy, almost entirely devoted to a discussion of elementary and fundamental principles.
The special courses of the department are as follows:
theoretical and practical banking, with the details of bank management; and national, state and municipal financiering. In this work the bank officials of the city not only take great interest, but offer very practical aid in the way of conferences with the class, and permission to inspect bank books and to study the banks when in actual operation.
A two-fifths course in Banking and Finance; in which are discussed
A three-fifths course in the history of Land-tenures; including the rise and growth of the theory of property in land, systems of title and of tenant-holdings in different countries, and a careful study of the elements of realty law in the United States.
A full term's work in Applied Economics and in the elements of Social Science; consisting of a short course of conferences and discussions, and the preparation of a thesis of not less than twenty thousand words on some special topic selected by each student.
A two-fifths course in International Law.
In all this work constant effort is made to determine the historic facts (as opposed to mere theorizing), to secure a fair presentation of opposing views, to promote free discussion and inquiry, and to encourage as complete personal investigation of all authorities as the University library permits. This method is thought to furnish the best conditions for sound opinion and individual judgment, while controlling neither.
Department of Greek Literature, A. M. Wilcox and W. M. Wister, Profs.
The Greek Department offers to the students of the University three courses: A course including the preparatory classes, of from four to six years (optional with the student) forming a part of the curriculum of the classical course; a course in the elements of Greek with special reference to English, open to students in all courses but the classical; and a course in Greek Archaeology and Art, open to all students in the University. The department at present offers also at intervals courses in Sanskrit and in the general and comparative study of languages. The classical course requires four years of Greek, two years preparatory and two collegiate. The authors read are Xenophon, Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, and Sophocles or Euripides. Classical students may also make special study in the Junior and Senior years of the more difficult Greek poets and philosophers, and more critical study of the Homeric poems and all the varied questions connected with them. In the earlier years much attention is paid to the philological side of the work, while in the later the philological side is subordinated to the literary and artistic, both matter and form being carefully studied, and an attempt being made to get some insight into the development of the literature. All courses are accompanied by lectures on the author and his works, and the higher courses by private reading and special studies on particular topics brought out in the course of the work. All courses too
are illustrated and enlivened by the numerous objects on exhibition in the classical museum. The course in the "Elements of Greek with special reference to English" gives to all non-classical students an opportunity of learning the Greek characters, pronunciation, and the greater part of the vocabulary necessary to an understanding of the numerous scientific and other terms used in English derived from the Greek. The course in Greek Archaeology and Art offers to all students in the University an opportunity to get a knowledge of the elements of the greatest art the world has yet produced, especially its architecture, sculpture, and ceramics, and thereby to gain the necessary foundation and point of comparison for the study of all art. A new course in Linguistics will be given next year, a study of the number, variety, character and history of the languages of the world, open to all students of the University.
Department of Latin Literature. D. H Robinson and Adelaide Rudolph, Profs.
The time required to complete the regular course, including preparatory work, is five years. On completion of the regular course, a two years' optional course is offered. The authors read in the regular course are Cæsar, six orations of Cicero, six books of the Aeneid, Cicero de Amicitia and de Senectute, Livy, the Odes, Satires and Epistles of Horace and selections from Catullus, Leucretius, Tibullus, Propertius, Ovid and Lucan. The authors read in the optional course are Cicero's Philosophical Works, Tacitus' Annals and Histories, Suetonius, Selections from the letters of Cicero and Pliny, Platus and Terence. Courses are also offered in Roman Archaeology. It has been found by long experience that the colloquial method of conducting recitations in Latin greatly aids the student on mastering the subject. Frequent lectures in Latin are also given to the more advanced students in biographical, mythological and literary subjects. There is no educational maxim, perhaps, better settled than this,—that the chief object of education is to gain mental power, rather than knowledge. This, in the earlier years of training, is doubtless true in regard to all studies, but presumently so in regard to the study of the Classics. But this is not their only nor highest use. While a certain amount of drill work is useful and necessary, there comes a time when the student has secured the chief benefits to be derived from it and is capable of much higher work. To make his life one eternal grind on the rudiments is as dwarfing to his growth as to keep him conning over the fables when he ought to be at Horace and Homer. The aim, therefore, is to lead him to mark the form and content of the masterpieces of antiquity and gain some conception of their matchless sweetness, art and beauty, as well as to give the necessary discipline. Roman antio-
uities are also carefully dwelt upon in portraying the social and domestic life of the people. To know their homes and how they lived gives a better knowledge of their character than to read the history of their wars and campaigns. We have many aids to the understanding of Roman art and also in the illustrations to be found in the classical museum. A single glance at a good picture will give a better idea of an ancient building than any amount of talk without the illustration. The aim of the department, in short, is to aid the student in forming a correct understanding not only of Roman language and literature, but also of Roman people.
The Classical Museum.
This is a new departure in our University life and work. Its primary aim is to illustrate classical studies, Greek and Latin. A secondary result of it, no doubt, will be the cultivation of taste which comes from contact with the noblest and most beautiful models. Here can be seen, grouped together in close proximity, examples of all the varieties of sculpture the great genius of Pheidias conceived for the decoration of the noblest building of the Greeks, the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens. Casts of three plates of the frieze of the temple show us a part of the great Panathenaic procession and three of the sitting divinities into whose presence the procession is marching. Three metopes show combats of a Greek and a Centaur in various stages of the fight, and give a glimpse at the variety of workmanship on the sculptures under the one guiding hand of Pheidias. And between two metops stands the colossal figure in the round, of the reclining youth from the east pediment. Near by stands a model, 3 feet 8 inches by 2 feet 6 inches, of the Acropolis in its present condition, with the Parthenon itself, which all these sculptures decorated, and two plans of its summit; while not very far off is a relief map of Athens and its neighborhood. Here, too, can be seen the beautiful Venus of Melos, the noble figure of the Emperor Augustus in his military dress, the striking and vigorous Borghese Warrior, and the graceful Germanicus [so called], all full-sized casts after the originals. There are busts also of Niobe, Eros, Minerva, the Apollo Belvedere, Homer, Socrates, Plato, Cicero, Vergil, Julius Caesar, Nero, Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Septimus Severus, Commodus, Faustina the younger, and a Roman lady. A model over nine feet long of the east pediment of the Zeus temple at Olympia gives one in an instant a more correct idea of the pediment of an ancient temple than he could get from descriptions in a week. A relief-map of Rome and a number of charts of Greek and Roman architecture in colors are on the walls, and examples of the large number of photographs and plates [many beautifully colored] at the command of the Greek and Latin departments occupy a large part of the wall space in the museum.

The Courier takes pleasure in presenting its annual sketch of the members of the class of '88.
W. S. Allen, of Concordia, was born in Cedar County, Iowa, in 1861. He graduated at the Concordia high school in 1882, and, after teaching in the public schools at that place for two years, entered the University in the fall of '84. For the past two years he has been assistant librarian. He represented the Senior class at the Washington's Birthday exercises, and was appointed by the Faculty to appear on Commencement day. He intends to take a post graduate course. In politics he is a Republican.
F. H. Bowersock, of Lawrence, was born in Iowa City, Iowa, in 1868. He entered the University in 1881, spending three years in the preparatory department. He graduated from the department of Civil Engineering, and may possibly take a post graduate course. He will continue to reside in Lawrence for a while at least.
W. R. Cone, of Burlington, is twenty-six years of age, and is a native of Missouri. Before entering the University he taught school two years in Coffey County, Kansas. He is a staunch Republican, and proposes to make law his profession. He will continue to reside in Burlington.
F. G. Crowell, of Atchison, was born in February, 1869, and is a Kansan. Completing the course at the Monroe Academy he entered the University in the fall of '84. He has represented the Oread society twice in the Oread-Orophilian contests, once as essayist and once as orator. In 1887 he was chosen by the Faculty to represent his class in the Washington's Birthday exercises. He will prepare for the law at the Harvard law school. He is strongly Republican in politics.
A. C. Cunkle was born in Ohio in April, 1868, and completing the course at the public schools at Madison, entered the University in the fall of '82, taking the Modern Literature course. It is his intention to study law, and he will probably locate at Madison. He is a Mugwump and a Free Trader.

born in New Hampshire in October, 1866. He was graduated from the Topeka high school in the spring of '84, and was one of six selected by the high school faculty from a class of twenty-six to appear on commencement day. He entered the University in the fall of the same year, and has taken the Classical course. In 1886 he was chosen by the Faculty to represent his class on Washington's birthday, and has been selected by the same body to take part in the Commencement day exercises.

W. T. Reed, of Newton, was born in April, 1864, and is a native of the Keystone state. After attending school at Newton for some time, he entered the University in 1883, and besides the regular collegiate course has completed one year of law. He intends to take a post graduate course, and will finish his legal studies at Washington next year. In '95 he was Orophilian debater in the Oread-Orophilian contest.

Gertrude Hunnicutt, of Lawrence, was born in Ohio in 1869, and entered the University in the Spring of 1882, taking the classical course. Last year she represented Oread Society in the Oread-Orophilian contest as declaimer, and this Spring the Athenæum Society as orator. Miss Hunnicutt expects to teach school next year, and is a Republican.
We were unable to see Miss Wilson, Miss Churchill or W. H. Brown.
Class Day exercises were held in the University chapel Wednesday morning instead of Tuesday as heretofore; the change being made for the purpose of giving the Law Department one day in commencement week.
The Coates' House Orchestra opened the exercises with the overture "Pique Dame." The invocation was then delivered by Dr. Howland. After a selection from "Ernani" by the orchestra the welcome of the class to its visitors and friends was extended by C. E. Springer. Mr. Springer's remarks were characterized by that sincerity and earnestness that constitutes true eloquence.
The orchestra then gave the waltz "Scenes from Vienna Woods."
"The Reign of the Politician" by W. T. Reed was one of the best on the program. Mr. Reed spoke in his forcible, feeling style that seems to force conviction upon the listener. His oration was well prepared and contained much good thought.
"The Balanced Forces of Nature" by Paul Goddard, was something new. His subject gave an opportunity to avoid the beaten paths of a college oration and so gave a freshness to his effort that added to the charm of his good diction and easy delivery.
"Golden Robin Polka" a cornet and flute duet was one of the best musical treats of the week.
The "Hat Speech" by Fred Bowersock was a witty comparison, or rather contrast between the great and shining lights that make up the brilliant firmament of '88 and the lesser lights of '89. He was roundly applauded.
George Dick, in the "Response" on behalf of the Juniors, relieved any anxiety that may have existed in the minds of the audience lest next year's Senior class should show a retrograde movement in University work.
The solo for the clarinet, "Som-
nambula," was another musical treat.
The Valedictory was given by F. G. Crowell. It was something more than the usual valedictory in that it contained a few ideas aside from the regrets natural to those who were leaving long and dear associations. Mr. Crowell's effort was undoubtedly one of the best of the day.
"Somerset March" by the orchestra closed the program. It was rendered in the usual finished manner.
The Lawrence Business College and Academy of English and Classics is fast taking rank with the best institutions of the kind in America. The college has greatly multiplied its activities and extended its scope, and its present spirit is broader than ever before. It feels the impulses of the great and growing West, and its faculty are resolved that it shall be presently developed into an institution of importance, fully commensurate with the demands of the times. Its faculty is composed of men and women, not pedants, nor recluses, nor pedagoges.

German Language and Literature.
William H. Carruth, Prof.
The last ten years have everywhere seen modern languages assume a greater importance in collegiate courses of study. The department of German, with which the other modern languages have been until the past year included, has been fully alive to this movement, and by energy and hard work has given to its courses a scope and a solidity that such courses yet mainly lack in our colleges. Ten years ago all instruction in modern languages was given by one "Assistant Professor of German, French, and Free-hand Drawing." Now the time of one professor is wholly taken by the instruction in German alone. Three of the four general courses give two and a half years to German, which insures a considerable familiarity of eye and ear with the language. So much is demanded not only by those to whom the practical ability to use it will be of service in their business among a population containing so many who still use it as their mother tongue and use no other, but also by all who expect to devote themselves to serious professional study, whether in fields of science or of literature; for that in all departments of human knowledge "the best books are in German" is at last pretty generally recognized. The department seeks further to stimulate and satisfy a more ideal demand for an acquaintance with German thought and life as they have found expression in literature and art, for a knowledge of Lessing, Schiller and Goethe as forces in the world of their day and of ours. This is especially the aim of the advanced optional work. This year the second part of Faust has been read; the first part of Faust and Lessing's Laocoon are offered for the future. This part of the work will be expanded as soon as the assistant, confidently expected in the near future, shall set free the time of the professor now absorbed by the work of lower classes. The special student of German language and literature will find in the library a constantly growing collection of the works of the more important writers, and the necessary apparatus of texts, grammars and dictionaries for the study of both newer and older forms of the language—Middle High German, Old High German, Gothic To eke out the bare text the beginning has been made of a collection of casts, photographs, engravings, etchings, maps, etc., illustrative of German life, manners and art in the past and present. This collection will be constantly added to. An appropriation for that purpose
Work in the Department of French has been carried on, as heretofore, by a judicious combination of the Natural and the Scientific methods. The course in French is steadily growing in popularity with the best students as the old idea vanishes that French is only a girl's accomplishment, and the fact is realized that here, too, a grounding in real culture is to be had. The required work has been on much the same ground as in previous years, the chief new experience being in the beginning class where idlers found that there was not room for them. But the growth of the department has been greatest in the Optional Course in French Literature. Here have been manifest some of the results of Prof. Canfield's persistent labors in the last three years. In addition to a large amount of careful and critical reading in the class, supplemented by a larger amount outside, there was given during the second session of the present year a course of sixteen lectures on the Romantic School, which were attended by a number of alumni townspeople and members of the faculty. The Department of French has rejoiced this year in the consciousness of possessing some material in the way of illustration which, however, it was unable to use to advantage, owing to a lack of means for displaying. It looks forward to the coming year to the advantages accruing from a further small appropriation which will be expended for maps and charts and historical and architectural illustrations. There have also been added to the library a considerable number of new works in French literature

Department of English. A.R.Marsh and C.G.Dunlap, Profs.
write a defective or faulty essay, and at all times he has to face criticism both of substance and form as severe as the instructor is capable of.
The aim of the Department of English is a double one:—in the first place, to furnish all undergraduate students without exception training in the art of writing the English language, as well as some slight acquaintance at least with a few of the greatest of English writers; in the second place, to give such students as are especially attracted to the study of the English language and literature an opportunity to acquire the beginning of a really sound and thorough training in them. Of these two aims perhaps the former is the more important to the University as a whole. It is very necessary that the graduates of any course or department should be able to convey to the world the results of their investigations in such a form as to obtain a respectful hearing and, if possible, to arouse interest and attract attention. Accordingly, great stress is laid in the Freshman and Sophomore years upon writing. All students are required to take class work in so much of rhetoric as directly bears upon writing; to study the works of great masters of English style both in prose and in verse, and to write. He has constant short essays and abstracts and outlines to write as a part of his class work; and he has besides to write at stated intervals longer essays, on subjects of such a nature as to require investigation on his part. Of these longer essays he has during his college course seventeen, which are read and criticised by an instructor in the English Department. Often the student has to requisition is the complete set of publications of the Early English Text Society, the most valuable collection of books in existence for the study of the history of the English language. There is also a good collection of books relating to Shakspere and to Bacon. English poetry is well represented, and the student will find most of the really necessary books on the shelves. Every year the collection grows richer, and soon it will be ample for all needs.
The student may, if he chooses, gain still further training in this direction. A course in Advanced English Composition is given during half of each year, and in this the student does a very great amount of writing, and gets a great deal of direct and practical criticism. He is given a subject to look up and at the next recitation he is expected to write in fifteen minutes a brief but well-formed article on some point connected with the subject. This short composition is either criticised then and there by the instructor, or is corrected at his leisure and handed back to the student with criticisms written upon it. In this class again, the students are often required to rewrite, to criticise each other's work, and to discuss points of style. In order, however, that the students may not lose the power of constructing larger compositions, they are required to hand in at intervals of a fortnight essays of several pages if length, upon subjects requiring considerable study and research.
If, now, the student has an inclination to learn more of the English language or its literature than is possible in correction with the development of his powers as a writer, he has at the beginning of his Junior year an opportunity to take further courses in these directions. If he wishes to know about the English language, its history and development, he may study Anglo-Saxon for a year. When he has become able to read Anglo-Saxon easily, and knows well the grammar of this early period, he may study for a year more Middle English, and so become familiar with the process by which the language grew to be what it is now. But if the student is attracted more by English Literature he will find open to him five courses. In the first of these, what is known as English 5, he will read Chaucer and Spenser, enough of each really to feel at home with them. In English 6, he will study Dryden as well as Pope, Swift, Addison, Thomson, Gray, and other English writers of the early part of the 18th century. In English 7 he will read Bacon's essays and considerable portions of Milton's poetry. In English 8, three of Shakspere's plays are read with the greatest care; and in English 9, three other of Shakspere's plays are read in the same way. It will be seen from the above brief outline that anyone desiring to become familiar with the main periods of English Literature, with the exception of the 18th century, has every opportunity for doing so. In every course the work is made as thorough as possible, and the student is required to obtain more than a mere smattering. No detail is considered to minute to be unimportant when the intellectual habits of the student are at stake. To aid it in its work, the English department now has in the library a good collection of books appertaining both to English literature and to English Philology. A recent acquisition is the complete set of publications of the Early English Text Society, the most valuable collection of books in existence for the study of the history of the English language. There is also a good collection of books relating to Shakspere and to Bacon. English poetry is well represented, and the student will find most of the really necessary books on the shelves. Every year the collection grows richer, and soon it will be ample for all needs.
Department of Music. W. MacDonald,
Anna March and P. D. Aldrich, Profs.
Very soon after the University had been organized provision was made for instruction in vocal music. The work seems to have been confined to sight-reading and chorus practice, to which, as time went on, were added opportunities for the study of the piano and organ. But no attempt was made to establish a school of music, whose relation to the University should be organic and consistent, until 1884, when the department of music, substantially as at present conducted, was formally organized. The aim was to supply a growing demand for thorough musical training of advanced grade. During the four years which have passed, the standards of work have been steadily advanced, not only more, but better work being required in all departments, the aim being to keep the work in music fully abreast of University work in other directions.
During the past year the department has enrolled seventy-two students, two-thirds of them have been from places outside of Lawrence. There has been noticeable increase in the number of students taking more than one study, a gratifying feature in special work of this kind. There are two graduates this year.
Large additions have been made to the musical portion of the University Library by purchase, donations and loans. The collection, though small as yet, is nevertheless one of the choicest to be found in the West. Additions of special note are the complete piano works of Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann, Hummel, Clementi and Weber. The University concerts have become one of the prominent features of University life, affording not only pleasure to those who attend, but a sort of tangible evidence as well of the work done by the department. Twenty-seven concerts have been given since the organization of the department, at which over two hundred different compositions, vocal and instrumental, have been performed.
Two special courses are offered for 1688-89, a course in advanced harmony and a course for teachers of the piano-forte. The course in musical theory will be so changed as to admit of a half year's study of the history of music, now treated only in outline. The number of recitals will be increased, it being the intention to give a special series devoted to the compositions of American composers. The course in Musical History is open as an elective to Juniors and Seniors in the collegiate department, as are also courses in counterpoint and philosophy of music. No
attempt is being made here to build up a popular conservatory of music, as that term is generally understood, but rather to maintain a department in which only work of the highest grade shall be done.
School of Pharmacy, L. E. Sayre and G. F.
Welda, Profs.
The School of Pharmacy was established in the fall of 1885. The course of study established at the first has not been materially modified. It requires a residence in Lawrence of two full collegiate years and a devotion of the entire time to the prescribed studies. Besides this a non-resident apprenticeship of two years in the actual drug business is made a condition of the bestowment of the diploma of the institution. It is recommended (but not required) that this apprenticeship precede the work of the lecture room and laboratory in the University. The course of four years thus prescribed for graduation furnishes the very best preparation for the profession of pharmacy.
The course of study at the University—including both lectures and text-book recitations—comprises the topics usual in schools of pharmacy, and the laboratory practice is made up of qualitative and quantitative analysis, of the testing and manufacture of drugs, of the compounding of physicians' prescriptions and of original investigation. A laboratory, furnished with all needed appliances, is devoted exclusively to pharmaceutical work. Two hours per day are required in this laboratory practice.
These requirements, in our judgment, are none too high, and they ought speedily to place this school of pharmacy where it justly belongs, among the very best institutions of the kind in the United States.
The course of study includes Physics, Chemistry, Latin (one term), Physiology and Botany, besides the studies proper of Pharmacy. These subjects are studied not solely with reference to the wants of pharmacists, but in the broader sense in which they are usually given in schools devoted to liberal culture. Thus there are found, for instance, in the class in chemistry those who study it merely as a requirement for collegiate graduation, those who make it a part of their course in civil and electrical engineering, and those who take it in preparation for the profession of practical chemistry. In such a relation there cannot but be gained a broader view of chemistry than would otherwise be possible.
Two additional considerations will show that this method gives a more extended and thorough course than is generally possible in the ordinary college of pharmacy. First, the requirements of the work are such as to occupy the students' entire time instead of allowing him, as is often the case, to do practical work while carrying his theoretical studies. Secondly, the school year lasts from September to May, inclusive-nine months.

In addition to a large amount of careful and critical reading in the class, supplemented by a larger amount outside, there was given during the second session of the present year a course of sixteen lectures on the Romantic School, which were attended by a number of alumni townspeople and members of the faculty. The Department of French has rejoiced this year in the consciousness of possessing some material in the way of illustration which, however, it was unable to use to advantage, owing to a lack of means for displaying. It looks forward to the coming year to the advantages accruing from a further small appropriation which will be expended for maps and charts and historical and architectural illustrations. There have also been added to the library a considerable number of new works in French literature.
Department of English. A.R. Marsh and C.G. Dunlan. Profs.
write a defective or faulty essay, and at all times he has to face criticism both of substance and form as severe as the instructor is capable of.
The aim of the Department of English is a double one:-in the first place, to furnish all undergraduate students without exception training in the art of writing the English language, as well as some slight acquaintance at least with a few of the greatest of English writers; in the second place, to give such students as are especially attracted to the study of the English language and literature an opportunity to acquire the beginning of a really sound and thorough training in them. Of these two aims perhaps the former is the more important to the University as a whole. It is very necessary that the graduates of any course or department should be able to convey to the world the results of their investigations in such a form as to obtain a respectful hearing and, if possible, to arouse interest and attract attention. Accordingly, great stress is laid in the Freshman and Sophomore years upon writing. All students are required to take class work in so much of rhetoric as directly bears upon writing, to study the works of great masters of English style both in prose and in verse, and to write. He has constant short essays and abstracts and outlines to write as a part of his class work; and he has besides to write at stated intervals longer essays, on subjects of such a nature as to require investigation on his part. Of these longer essays he has during his college course seventeen, which are read and criticised by an instructor in the English Department. Often the student has to requisition is the complete set of publications of the Early English Text Society, the most valuable collection of books in existence for the study of the history of the English language. There is also a good collection of books relating to Shakspere and to Bacon. English poetry is well represented, and the student will find most of the really necessary books on the shelves. Every year the collection grows richer, and soon it will be ample for all needs.
The student may, if he chooses, gair still further training in this direction. A course in Advanced English Composition is given during half of each year, and in this the student does a very great amount of writing, and gets a great deal of direct and practical criticism. He is given a subject to look up and at the next recitation he is expected to write in fifteen minutes a brief but well-formed article on some point connected with the subject. This short composition is either criticised then and there by the instructor, or is corrected at his leisure and handed back to the student with criticisms written upon it. In this class, again, the students are often required to rewrite, to criticise each other's work, and to discuss points of style. In order, however, that the students may not lose the power of constructing larger compositions, they are required to hand in at intervals of a fortnight essays of several pages in length, upon subjects requiring considerable study and research.
If, now, the student has an inclination to learn more of the English language or its literature than is possible in connection with the development of his powers as a writer, he has at the beginning of his Junior year an opportunity to take further courses in these directions. If he wishes to know about the English language, its history and development, he may study Anglo-Saxon for a year. When he has become able to read Anglo-Saxon easily, and knows well the grammar of this early period, he may study for a year more Middle English, and so become familiar with the process by which the language grew to be what it is now. But if the student is attracted more by English Literature he will find open to him five courses. In the first of these, what is known as English 5, he will read Chaucer and Spenser, enough of each really to feel at home with them. In English 6, he will study Dryden as well as Pope, Swift, Addison, Thomson, Gray, and other English writers of the early part of the 18th century. In English 7 he will read Bacon's essays and considerable portions of Milton's poetry. In English 8, three of Shakspere's plays are read with the greatest care; and in English 9, three other of Shakspere's plays are read in the same way. It will be seen from the above brief outline that anyone desiring to become familiar with the main periods of English Literature, with the exception of the 18th century, has every opportunity for Joing so. In every course the work is made as thorough as possible, and the student is required to obtain more than a mere smattering. No detail is considered to minute to be unimportant when the intellectual habits of the student are at stake. To aid it in its work, the English department now has in the library a good collection of books appertaining both to English literature and to English Philology. A recent ac
Department of Music. W. MacDonald,
Anna March and P. D. Aldrich, Profs.
Very soon after the University had been organized provision was made for instruction in vocal music. The work seems to have been confined to sight-reading and chorus practice, to which, as time went on, were added opportunities for the study of the piano and organ. But no attempt was made to establish a school of music, whose relation to the University should be organic and consistent, until 1884, when the department of music, substantially as at present conducted, was formally organized. The aim was to supply a growing demand for thorough musical training of advanced grade. During the four years which have passed, the standards of work have been steadily advanced, not only more, but better work being required in all departments, the aim being to keep the work in music fully abreast of University work in other directions.
During the past year the department has enrolled seventy-two students, two-thirds of them have been from places outside of Lawrence. There has been a noticeable increase in the number of students taking more than one study, a gratifying feature in special work of this kind. There are two graduates this year.
Large additions have been made to the musical portion of the University Library by purchase, donations and loans. The collection, though small as yet, is nevertheless one of the choicest to be found in the West. Additions of special note are the complete piano works of Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann, Hummel, Clementi and Weber. The University concerts have become one of the prominent features of University life, affording not only pleasure to those who attend, but a sort of tangible evidence as well of the work done by the department. Twenty-seven concerts have been given since the organization of the department, at which over two hundred different compositions, vocal and instrumental, have been performed.
Two special courses are offered for 1688-89, a course in advanced harmony and a course for teachers of the piano-forte. The course in musical theory will be so changed as to admit of a half year's study of the history of music, now treated only in outline. The number of recitals will be increased, it being the intention to give a special series devoted to the compositions of American composers. The course in Musical History is open as an elective to Juniors and Seniors in the collegiate department, as are also courses in counterpoint and philosophy of music. No
attempt is being made here to build up a popular conservatory of music, as that term is generally understood, but rather to maintain a department in which only work of the highest grade shall be done.
School of Pharmacy, L. E. Sayre and G. F.
Weida, Profs.
The School of Pharmacy was established in the fall of 1885. The course of study established at the first has not been materially modified. It requires a residence in Lawrence of two full collegiate years and a devotion of the entire time to the prescribed studies. Besides this a non-resident apprenticeship of two years in the actual drug business is made a condition of the bestowment of the diploma of the institution. It is recommended, (but not required) that this apprenticeship precede the work of the lecture room and laboratory in the University. The course of four years thus prescribed for graduation furnishes the very best preparation for the profession of pharmacy.
The course of study at the University—including both lectures and text-book recitations—comprises the topics usual in schools of pharmacy, and the laboratory practice is made up of qualitative and quantitative analysis, of the testing and manufacture of drugs, of the compounding of physicians' prescriptions and of original investigation. A laboratory, furnished with all needed appliances, is devoted exclusively to pharmaceutical work. Two hours per day are required in this laboratory practice.
The course of study includes Physics, Chemistry, Latin (one term), Physiology and Botany, besides the studies proper of Pharmacy. These subjects are studied not solely with reference to the wants of pharmacists, but in the broader sense in which they are usually given in schools devoted to liberal culture. Thus there are found, for instance, in the class in chemistry those who study it merely as a requirement for collegiate graduation, those who make it a part of their course in civil and electrical engineering, and those who take it in preparation for the profession of practical chemistry. In such a relation there cannot but be gained a broader view of chemistry than would otherwise be possible.
Two additional considerations will show that this method gives a more extended and thorough course than is generally possible in the ordinary college of pharmacy. First, the requirements of the work are such as to occupy the students' entire time, instead of allowing him, as is often the case, to do practical work while carrying his theoretical studies. Secondly, the school year lasts from September to May, inclusive—nine months.
These requirements, in our judgment, are none too high, and they ought speedily to place this school of pharmacy where it justly belongs, among the very best institutions of the kind in the United States.

Department of Physics and Astronomy, L. I. Blake and W. S. Franklin
Profs.
At the beginning of the present year, Prof. Lucius I. Blake took charge of this department, succeeding Prof. Nichols, called to the chair of Physics in Cornell University. Prof. Blake is a graduate of Amherst and Doctor of Philosophy from Berlin, and comes to us from the Rose Polytechnic School, of Terre Haute, one of the most thorough technical schools in the country. Prof. Blake fell heir to a department already well organized, and it soon became evident that he was a worthy successor to Prof. Nichols.
During the year the most obvious work of the department has been the acquisition and application of the apparatus in Electrical Engineering provided for by the last legislature. The work of setting up the new engine and the American Dynamo, as well as the placing of the apparatus for electric lighting, was all done by the instructors of the department assisted by their students, who thus secure the most practical kind of knowledge of their profession. There are few institutions in the country, and no others in the west, which have equal facilities for instruction in the new profession of Electrical Edgineering.
In addition to the plant for electric lighting there has been established a short telegraph line, used for the receipt of standard time from the Observatory at St. Louis, and also for experiment and the convenience of the members of the Telegraph Club. In the adjustment of these instruments and wires, as well as of the electric signal system in the University buildings, and in the repairing of the same, the students do most of the work, of course under the direction of the instructors.
In addition to the assimilation and adjustment of this new apparatus and course, the work of the department has been carried on much as usual in the lines here indicated:
First, Instruction in Elementary Physics given to the Sub-freshmen
and Pharmacy students; second, Higher Physics, given to general students and to beginners in electrical work; third, Descriptive Astronomy for general students, and Practical Astronomy for the civil engineers; fourth, Higher Physics for the special student; fifth, Technical studies connected with the course in Electrical Engineering; and sixth, Laboratory work of at least three distinct grades, (a) Pharmacy, (b) General, (c) Electrical and Technical.
The principal aim of the general laboratory course is to develop manual skill, accuracy of observation, thorough familiarity with scientific methods and physical laws—things that are now considered to be as vital elements in culture as literature and art. An exhaustive card index of the Physical books of the University Library is well under way, and the laboratory student is left as far as practicable to this and his ingenuity as his only resources, though of course having the general character of the work outlined by his instructon and progressively arranged.
Department of Law, J. W. Green and M. Summerfield, Profs.
There is no longer any doubt in the minds of those best qualified to judge, that the law school is the proper place to begin the study of the law. Twenty years ago, when every lawyer considered it a part of his business to give instruction to students serving apprenticeship in his office, the matter wore a different aspect. But the bad economy of the old plan came gradually to be recognized. Law schools grew in efficiency and in favor, and lawyers adapted themselves to the new order of things, so that to-day there is practical unanimity of opinion in legal circles. The law school is by far the most economical means to a sound legal education. The Department of Law was established in the State University of Kansas in the fall of 1878. The design was to furnish a complete course of legal instruction for persons intending to
practice at the bar in any State of the Union. The aim in text-book instruction is the thorough training of the student in legal modes of thought, and the cultivation of a clear knowledge of the leading principles of law, leaving minor details for later years. Definiteness and exactness of knowledge is considered of the first importance. In addition to their law studies, the students of this department may have access, without charge, to the library of the University, and on the payment of the contingent fee may have the privileges of recitations and lectures in the Department of Science, Literature and the Arts. The complete course includes two annual terms, each of which occupies eight and one-half months, (excluding two weeks' recess at Christmas.) The first term for the year 1888-9 will begin on Wednesday, the 14th day of September, 1888. All persons purposing to enter upon the study of law are earnestly recommended first to take a course of liberal studies. Applicants for the degree of LL.B. must, in every case, have been admitted as regular members of the Senior class at the beginning of the Senior term, and must also have attended the Senior recitations during the entire term. Moot courts are held every week during the term by one of the Faculty, at each of which a cause previously assigned is taken up for practice in the conduct of causes, and in the discussion of legal principles. A Kent club has been formed by the students, in which dissertations are read and cases argued.
Department of Art, Miss M. L. Simpson and Miss Cora Parker, Profs.
The department was never in so promising a condition as now. The classes for next year will be larger than ever before, if the present indications are verified.
The work of this department lies along the line of two courses. One in drawing and perspective, covers a period of four years, progressing through still life, busts and half lengths of the human figure, the entire figure, and groups to work in life class and in composition. The course in painting extends over three years time, and includes work on still life, interiors, landscape, and sketching from nature. Miss Simpson has spent the past year abroad, working most of the time in the studio of one of the most noted painters of Paris, and will return to her work here next fall with added knowledge and enthusiasm. That her work has genuine merit, is evidenced by the fact that an example of it was admitted to the recent Paris Salon. Miss Parker is a graduate of the Cincinnati School of Art, and is thoroughly in love with her specialty work in black and white.

The University Library has been more comfortable and convenient this year in its new location than during the past few years, crowded as it was into one room; but the present indications are that it will soon outgrow even this enlargement. This surely is the desire of all its friends, for the time has now come when more books are emphatically needed in each and all of the departments of the University. The library now contains 9,207 volumes. The addition this year by gift and purchase amounted to 1,172 volumes. The largest donation were made by Dr. M. Lere Chase, Irving, Kansas, consisting of 79 volumes. Mr. Frank R. Cordley, Boston, Mass., presented the Harlein Miscellany, which was a rare and valuable gift. Mrs. D. C. Haskell placed 177 volumes in the library for the use of the students. A more intelligent appreciation of the books has been very noticeable throughout the year.
The book of University poems has at last issued from the press. Its contents are just what is claimed for them—a lot of neat, well-written and bright little gems from student pens. As a literary effort it is all that could be desired, coming as it does from none but amateurs. Much credit is due Prof. Marsh for his efforts in editing the book. It is, however, to be regretted that the book presents no more pleasing appearance to the eye. Its mechanical make-up is a fraud and a swindle. The representation of a sunflower, that is it intended to represent one, looks about as much like a sunflower as a pin box looks like a bank safe. It is labeled, though, so that there is no need of anyone thinking that it is a bean plant decorating the cover of a child's book of fairy tales. The binding of the book is in perfect keeping with the cut. It may not be elegant but it is harmonious. Typographically — well, you can make it out, and we suppose that is the object of type and printers' ink. Still to a person of any aesthetic taste there is something about the press-work and printing that revolts him. The Journal Co., of this city, did the work.
We are sorry that the book is no more attractive in appearance. But still it should be owned and read by all K. S. U. students.

T. W. Higginson.
Every seat in the University chapel was occupied last Monday evening, the occasion being the lecture before the literary societies by Thomas Wentworth Higginson, of Massachusetts. Mr. Higginson was received with prolonged applause. He said that thirty-two years ago he saw Kansas, he might almost say without a tree; to-day he saw her without a slave. He said that thirty-two years ago he waked up in the morning here at Lawrence and looked out through the misty air at a file of United States dragoons drawn up before the hotel where he had slept, and who had come there with the complimentary purpose of escorting Mr. James Redpath and himself against their will before his excellency Gov. Geary. On this visit, however, he had seen no sign of any similar cavalry or even police escort along. But if anything of the kind should be drawn up before the hall when he made his exit, he would feel the calm assurance that the honor was destined for the members of the University and not for him. He spoke of Kansas in glowing terms, and remarked that were he not a citizen of Massachusetts he would certainly be a citizen of Kansas.
He then proceeded to deliver his lecture on "The Aristocracy of the Dollar," and held the close attention of the audience for two hours. His manner and gestures were very easy and agreeable, and his delivery deliberate. There was a vein of wit and humor running throughout the lecture. He paid a deserved compliment to Prof. Marsh, which was received with applause by the Professor's friends, showing the esteem in which he is held in the Kansas State University.
Thomas Wentworth Higginson was born in December, 1823, in Cambridge, Mass. He graduated at Harvard, in 1821; was second in a class of which he was the youngest member; among his elder school mates were James Russell Lowell and Wm. W. Story; in 1869, he received the degree of A. M. He studied divinity at Cambridge, and was ordained at Newburyport, Mass., in 1847, the year he left the Divinity School; in 1850 he was a Free Soil candidate for Congress, but was defeated. Mr. Higginson had taken a leading part in the anti-slavery conflict that preceded the civil war; he was wounded in the "Anthony Burns riot" in 1853, and was indicted at the time with Theodore Parker, Wendell Phillips, and others, though all the prosecutions failed from a flaw in the indictments. He had much to do with the organization of emigration parties to Kansas in 1656, and was in the territory during part of the civil strife, being on the staff of Gen. James H. Lane. Serving as a colonel in the rebellion, he was woundel i in 1863. Since the war he has devoted himself to literary pursuits and is the author of several volumes of collected essays, besides various pvmphlets, memoirs, and magazine articles.
The Baccalaureate Service
On Sunday evening, June 3d, University chapel was more than illled with students, citizens of Lawrence and many visitors who were attracted by the announcement of the Baccalaureate sermon by John H. Barrows, D.D., of the First Presbyterian church, Chicago. Suitable programs, on which were printed the hymns used in the service, added much to the pleasure and profit of the evening.
The singing, led by the Congregational choir, was entertaining and has since received much favorable comment.
of the universe could exist without a designer.
After music, prayer and a Scripture reading, the speaker was introduced. He spoke on the subject "The Truth and Comfort of Christian Theism," taking for his text "Our Father which art in heaven."
Lack of space prevents more than the most meager outline of his sermon.
He first showed that the human mind is most intensely theistic. All see a creator in Nature. It is idle to think that the admirable adaptation
But the closest union between the Inventor and the invented is found in the relation of man to his Maker. In man is a natural law. Religious affections and instincts are a part of his nature.
The study of nature is a study of correspondences between the world without and the world within.
You find in the rocks the wing of a bird; you know that air existed through which the bird might fly. If air existed you know that the bird had lungs. Every adaptation of nature finds its necessary counterpart; there is no disappointment. Man has a worshiping instinct. You cannot destroy it without destroying human nature itself. Is there a deviation here from nature's plan? Does man long to worship and find nothing to worship?
The whole effort of the speaker was marked by its clearness and rousing energy. Dr. Barrows speaks without notes or manuscripts and displays a wide range of reading and a most remarkable memory.
Pavrmacy Commencement.
A larger audience than usual greeted the department of Pharmacy on Monday morning. The exercises throughout were good and somewhat superior to those of last year. The Coate's House Orchestra enlivened the occasion with the choicest music.
Mr. A. E. Topping delivered the salutatory in a graceful manner. He evidently knew how to handle to pen as well as the pestle.
Miss Mary A.Rice spoke on "Pharmacy, Its Relation to Industrial Education." Miss Rice graduated from the Collegiate department last year with high honor and in this effort fully sustained her reputation.
The class history by George F. Weida was interesting and somewhat humorous. Mr. T. L. Abbey handled the subject "Pharmacy, Its Origin and Position" with some ability.
The "Pill speech" by W. C. Albach, in the course of which he delivered a mammoth pill along with much wholesome advice to the Junior class, was full of humor and was well delivered.
Mr. G Fred Kaiser, of Ottawa, responded in behalf of the junior class. He fully met every thrust of his opponent and displayed in his speaking a clearness and energy not found in any other effort of the occasion.
Prof. L. E. Sayer Dean of the Pharmacy department, delivered a very able address to the graduates and friends of the department.
