Entered at the post-office at Lawrence. Kansas as second-class matter. ANOTHER year has come and gone, and again the Courier bids the students greeting. Your vacation is in the past; that it was both pleasant and profitable we hope, we doubt not. But it is past. What matters it? To the present and future our thoughts and longings turn. For the present, it is with a glad hand clasp and with a warm heart that we bid you welcome to our Alma Mater. How well you are looking! How the sight of your familiar face thrills us with pleasure! For the future—but why repeat what you know so well—the Courier wishes you a pleasant and a prosperous year; a year of growth, of advancement, of victory. New Students The number of new students will, it is expected, be much larger this year than usual. We have been a new student ourselves and know just how it seems to wander through the corridors without a familiar face to help drive off the feeling of loneliness. Every one busy with his own affairs, except, indeed, here and there a group of old students gathered together, who, by their close familiarity and friendship, thrust upon us more than ever how utterly desolate and alone we were. To all such we say, it is the glacial period of your school life. You have it to pass through. He who cannot live it out is truly to be pitied. There is just such another period awaiting you when you enter upon your course in that other university, which is indeed a university — where all men may learn all things — the world. Both here and there you will have to live it out. No one knows you, no one cares for you. Why should they? You have as yet done nothing to merit their attention or their thoughts. When you have doubt not that you will obtain them. We had intended to say a few words urging the old students to extend a warmer, or perhaps better, a longer welcome to you. But upon second thought have decided not to. If they did it would be from no especial interest, but only from a kind of charity, and that the man who most merits, least wants. After all it is better that they should not. Be patient. Earn the right to be known and thought of. Beseech no one for recognition. Demand it! Command it! The place given you may lose. The place won you can hold forever. All students should return to their work this year even more enthusiastically than ever before. For who among us ever passed so delightful a summer. It has been an ideal summer; the very paragon of its season. Just enough warm weather to open the pores well and then the most charming of temperatures all through the month in which we are accustomed to swelter and droop, with only sufficient energy left to use a fan and hold down a hammock. But 1888 was the exception, the year to which we can all look back as a year with a summer-resort summer. The Weekly University Courier. VOL. VII, NO. I. With this number the Courier enters upon its seventh volume. Six years in its past. Six years in which it has been more truly a representative student's paper than any other ever published in the University. There may have been times in its career when it was in the hands of a few, but even then it cannot be said that it was not managed for the best interests of the students as a body. To-day we trust that this is a question that never rises. It has been the aim and intention of the paper to be an exponent of the best thoughts and interests of the students, the faculty, and the University. Time was, when the Courier was young, that its account books did not gladden the eyes of its Business Managers. But that time is past, we hope, forever. To-day the Courier is financially sound. It owes no man a dollar. Its success is due to the energy and enterprise of its business managers in the past, and the encouragement and assistance of the students. For the future its outlook is bright indeed. Recognizing that success depends upon merit, confident of deserving well, it is confident of succeeding. MARRIED W. S. Franklin and Miss Hattie Titus, at Washington Depot, Connecticut, on the 14th of August last. The contracting parties are both well known in Lawrence and University society. Mrs. Franklin visited in Lawrence in the winter and spring of 1885-6. She immediately won for herself a host of friends, all of whom will be greatly pleased to know that she is to be hereafter a resident of our city. W. S. Franklin graduated with the class of 1887. Even before graduation he was given a tutorship under Prof. Nichols of the Department of Physics, a science for which he has a special aptitude. Last winter he was made Prof. Blake's assistant, and he has during the summer been working with Prof. Nichols in the Laboratory at Coruell. But not alone as a student was Franklin admired. For his general good qualities, his warm heartedness, his geniality made friends with all he came in contact, and all will join with the Courier in wishing the happy pair a long and prosperous journey here below. The sad news reached Lawrence yesterday that George C. Smith, editor of the St. Joseph Herald, died on Sunday noon at his home in St. Joseph. GEO. CHANNING SMITH George Smith came to Lawrence in 1877, and entered the Freshman class of the State University. He was an excellent student, proficient in his work and popular allike with students and professors. He took an active part in college life, and was always at the head of all student enterprises. He was made a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, and was ever an ardent fraternity man. He remained in college but two years, and soon after leaving began his journalistic career, in which he was destined to take so prominent a place—young so he was. It is probably not too much to say that no brighter and if more promising young man ever left our institution. Green be the turf above him. Death of E. A. Munsell Yesterday the sad intelligence of the death of Mr. E. A. Munsell reached this city from Fort Scott, where he was engaged in the newspaper business.

Stebbins was elected President; Mr. Pomeroy, Secretary; and W. L. McClentory, Treasurer. Andy Reed, the barber, is giving away an elegant Gold Watch, and a Gold-Headed Silk Umbrella. It is fun to see the boys figuring on the one who holds the lucky number. Personal. Etta Hadley was heard in the halls Thursday. Miss Annie Barker entered school this fall. Miss Maude Springer returned the first of the week. Eva Howe has entered the Art department of K. S. U. H. D. Smith, of Olathe, was in the city last Saturday.

Lawson Gilbert, of Newton, is spending a few days in Lawrence with K. S. U. friends. Miss Mary Gillmore of '84, is taking charcoal drawing with Miss Parker's afternoon class. Reports from Ottawa, say that Miss May Churchill has a good position in the graded school of that place. Laura Breon is now residing in Lawrence and will resume her studies at the University. Bishop, of last year's law class, is the Democratic nominee for Clerk of the Court of Douglas County. Miss Clara Reasoner,sister of Miss Florence Reasoner, visited the University the last of the week. E. C. Little was seen in the halls for a day or so at the opening of the term. Miss Ariel Long, '80, was in the city this week, the guest of Professor Carruth. Miss Long has been attending an art school in Chicago. The dispatches recently received announced the fact that S. P. King of the State University had taken the second prize offered by the American Protective League for essays on "Home protection indispensable to a supply of low prices of the manufactured commodities required for the people of the United States, and adequate protection of these articles is impossible without protective tariff." Mr. King was a law student and was graduated this year. He was considered a very industrious though not a brilliant student. He was not at all prominent in University affairs and the few who were fortunate enough to be recorded among his friends will be glad to hear of his success. The article he wrote was a strong protection article, and it is to be hoped that the howl over the State about the University being a free trade hole will be silenced for a time at least. Mr. King's home is in Augusta, Kansas.-Lawrence Journal. A Valuable Gift. The University received last week as a gift from Hon George Q. Cannon, of Salt Lake City, a complete set of Mormon publications. Among these arc included Tulledgi's History of Salt Lake City, a very large and expensive volume filled with fine steel engrovings of representative Mormons and containing a very complete history of the rise of Mormonism Western Immigration, and the building up of the Mormon State: Outline of theHistoryand Religion of the Mormons; the celebrated discussion between Orson Pratt and Dr.J.P.Newman on the question "Does the Bible Sanction Polygamy?" The Voice of Warning; The Preceptor; Pratt's Complete Works; The Mormon Doctrine, and the following volumes in what is known as the Liverpool edition, uniformly bound in full morocco and gilt; The Mormon Bible; The Doctrine and Covenant; Key to Theology; Spencer's Letters and Hymn Boyk. Each of these last bears an appropriate inscription of donation to the State University, with the autograph of George Q. Cannon. This gift is the result of the request of Prof. James H. Canfield, backed by Mr. Geo T. Nicholson, of the Santa Fe railroad who has a warm personal friend in Mr. Spence, Secretary of the Central Mormon Stake. It is believed that very few as complete sets as these are accessible to the public generally. The historical value of the volumes will increase from year to year, and the University is fortunate in securing these just at this time.

The COURIER in the past by faithful and diligent effort has established itself as one of the necessary institutions of the University. The students love it. The merchants patronize it. The Courier for the coming year will keep on in the good work. It will be no literary magazine—it will be the organ of no clique or clan; but will be pre-eminently a college newspaper. Our endeavor shall be to present news and events in an interesting and attractive manner. A readable and entertaining, a newsy paper is what the readers demand. It is what we intend they shall have. Messrs. Paul Wilkinson, Sidney Phillips, E. E. Squires, and Miss Gertrude Crotty will be the Local Editors. Misses Lillie Freeman, Emma Bartell, and Mr. Stanley Smith will have charge of the persons. Mr. Albert Fullerton will edit the exchange column. Mr. Shellebarger will be assistant in the Editorial department. Paul Wilkinson will have general supervision of the local and personal departments, and will collect all copy at the University for the paper. Anybody having news items, will please report to him as early each week as possible. We take pleasure in introducing to the business men of Lawrence, Mr. Charles Lyons; and Mr. John A. Mushrush, the business managers of the Courier, and ask for them courteous treatment and liberal patronage. THE aim of the Courier this year is to be a newspaper. Some unavoidable delay was experienced in the publication of this number. Hereafter the paper will be distributed at the end of the fourth hour on Friday. State Journal: Lawrence reports the first snow of the season, Monday night. Professor Snow, of the University, will not include it in his weather report, because it was so light only weighed nine pounds. THERE is one branch of work that seems to be neglected, and that is oratory. It is a fact, although we do not like to acknowledge it, that other colleges in the state give more attention to this than the University. With the decline of our literary societies, and the abolishment of chapel rhetoricals, the student has no opportunity to develop his powers in this direction. It is just as necessary, if not more so, for a young man to be able to tell, in good forcible English, sentences which he knows, as it is for him to be able to write his thoughts on paper. Now is the time to agitate a dormitory for the ladies. Washburn has three cottages which are neatly furnished and have very pleasant rooms. If this plan were tried here it would prove a success, and the number of young ladies in attendance would greatly increase. The work in the pharmacy department is becoming more and more important each year. Already a demand has sprung up in the State for graduates from this department. IF some of the students this year attend less to dancing and study harder there will not be as many failures in examinations as last year. Each member of the senior class, last spring secured good lucrative positions. Prof. Sayre is doing some excellent work. It is not known when Miss Morrow, the preceptress, expects to return and take her position in the University. It has been over a year since she was elected to this place. As an instructor, her presence may be needed, but it has become evident to a great many that a preceptress would have but little to do. If a young ladies boarding house is ever erected, a matron would then be needed, but until that time it would seem that her services are not in demand. As there have been several inquiries as to the authority of the recommendation of the COURIER in the advertisement of Field & Hargis's in our last issue. We think it but due to other friends seeking the patronage of our readers to state that the quotation taken first appeared in our column as a paid advertisement just as it was quoted in our last publication. We do not make this statement for the purpose of denying the claims of Field & Hargis, but we think we owe it to our readers to let them know that their COURIER has never distinguished between their two most popular book stores here, both are good. Which ever one you may patronize; J. S. Crew & Co., or Field & Hargis, you will be treated with the utmost courtesy and fairness in either place you will find books and student supplies sold at the most reasonable rates. But this is the only official statement the Courier has ever made. THE various fraternities are busily engaged in seeking new members. Formerly it was considered an honor to the student who received the invitation, now, however, it is the stu. Whereas, it is on all hands admitted the practice, of "rushing" is unworthy of womanly dignity, is highly injurious to the University, to the secret societies and to new students, we the members of K. K.G., I. C. and K. A. T., through our committees in joint session do resolve: dent who confers the honor by consenting to join. I. That the following pledge be incorporated in the by-laws of our societies and made one of the fundamental governing principles: PLEDGE. (a) We the members of Omega chapter of K. K. G., Kappa chapter of K. A. T., and Alpha chapter of Kansas I. C., hereby individually and collectively pledge ourselves not to initiate, pledge or invite any girl, directly or indirectly, or through any medium whatever, to join our fraternity until said girl shall have attended the University three months, and during that time shall have pursued regularly and continuously at least two full studies or their equivalents. (b) To give all invitations to membership through written communications of prescribed form, sent by mail. (c) If any of our members, initiated or pledged violate the above, we agree that she shall be answerable to the joint standing committee of the societies. II. That at the beginning of each school year, notice be inserted in all the current University papers, stating these rules regarding the admission of new members. III. That these resolutions and pledge be subject to amendment as necessity shall demand. IV. That these resolutions and pledge shall go into effect this day, June 1st, 1888. KATE MERRILL, EMMA BARTELL, HARRIET HASKELL McDONALD, MARY A MANLEY Committee. MARY A. MANLEY, ANNA G. CROTTY, CORA FELLOWS STERLING, CORA FIELDEN ANNIE L. McKINNON ALICE H. ROPES, MARY G. STIMPSON, THERE are two organizations in the University that demand more than a passing notice of the work they are accomplishing, these are the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. They have been in existence for the past two years and during that time have been very active. The young ladies meet each Sunday afternoon and the young men Friday evenings. The purpose of these associations is to bring the students into a closer acquaintance with each other, to interest them in certain lines of thought that keep them from evil companions and make college life more pleasant. Several receptions are held each year, there are union meetings every six weeks and a bible class is generally organized in the fall. Some of the best students that have graduated in the last two years have been members of one of these organizations. There seems to be an entire forgetfulness of the fact that systematic exercise makes a healthy and symmetrically developed body which is essential to hard and continuous study. It is a common saying that a student working in a gymnasium can accomplish more in two hours study than another student can in three, supposing of course, both students to be of about the same mental calibre. A REMARK overheard in the halls the other day by a new student calls to mind an old subject of grievances, "what," says he with a look of surprise "is there no gymnasium in connection with the University." Sad to relate, this answer of necessity was no. The University devotes its whole attention to mental discipline to the entire disregard of physical culture. Most Universities have gymnasiums why should not ours? The subject must be agitated. Keep it before the students and let it be presented to the Legislature. The education of the mind is not the only province of a University. "The people need to be reminded that a well stored or even a cultivated mind is of little use in a puny, lying body, while on the other hand a good physical organization will make its way and find its place in the world if it only knows enough to come to its meals." It is a matter of congratulation that the relations between the students and the citizens of Lawrence have been and continue to be entirely friendly. This is as it should be. The petty rivalry and jealousy that so often exists at college towns is entirely absent. The students are free from that sophomoric conceit and superciliousness that so irritates the inhabitants of college towns. The residents of Lawrence take a friendly interest in all college proceedings. When the students rejoice, they rejoice, the imposing police force to the contrary notwithstanding. Let nothing happen to mar this pleasant state of affairs. The percentage of boys over girls in attendance at the University is greatly on the increase. The scarcity of new girls in the halls during the opening week this term was frequently commented on. The cause has not as yet been agreed upon though it has been suggested that as the University approaches a higher standard and gradually raises its requirements for admission, the number of girls beautifully diminishes. This coupling to-gether of two independent facts as cause and effect is no doubt unwarranted. It has even been intimated that because this University is getting more and more a strictly business and hard work appearance, many girls steer clear and look for more congenial fields. Let some kind friend refute this cruel aspersion. BAKER University, situated near Black Jack, will not be troubled this year by the presence of P. P. Campbell. LAST Friday, Orophilian failed to hold a meeting, consequently a great many new students were much disappointed. They had read in the catalogue about the literary societies in the University, and they came here to find one of them almost out of existence, and the other not doing very good work. This subject has been discussed in the Courier before, but it seems to again demand attention at this time. If some of the older members would do a little work in Orophilian, we are confident that they would have a strong support from the new students who are anxious to receive a training in the literary work characteristic of such societies. This question should be considered by the faculty and, something done, if possible to arouse an interest in these organizations. It must be acknowledged that the work accomplished by Orophilian or Athaneum is as important, if not more so, than that done by some of the regular classes. If this is true, then they should receive encouragement of some kind before they entirely disappear. The address of Hon. Geo. R. Peck, at the opening of the term was favorably commented upon by all the state papers. It was an address full of good common sense. Speaking of that class of persons who assert that a college education unfits one for success in practical affairs, he said: "There is no form of can't more wearisome than that which asserts that a collegiate education unfits one for success in practical affairs. There is room for a wide difference of opinion as to what constitutes success, and as to the meaning of the word practical, but without stopping to consider such matters, it is sufficient to say that it is not true in any sense whatever. While lack of success in the ordinary meaning of the term is not the greatest calamity that can befall a man, yet young people do not like to think that they have entered a course of life which dooms them to at least a probable failure. The truth is that in nine cases out of ten, other things being equal, the college-bred man can give his uneducated rival a wide margin ef advantage in the start, and still beat him in the race. The educated fools about whom we occasionally hear, were not made fools at college. It is true, that education can not transform a pre-determined imbecile into a wise man, nor can colleges overcome what an eccentric American poet has called 'the inherencies of things.' But the man who supposes that is an advantage to him, from any point of view not to have a liberal education is laboring under a very painful mistake." FATHER BAKER of the Commonwealth is alarmed at seeing so many graduates of the State University rising into prominence over the State, and utters a wail about the practice of bringing the University into notice, by connecting its name with those of the prominent young men. With a narrow mindedness approaching bigotry, Baker loses no occasion to vent his spite against the institution of the State and all connected with it. Fortunately there are but few like minds among the newspaper men of Kansas, and the State press recognizes the University as something else than a Lawrence college. "It is certainly of no possible interest to the great public, which does not care a copper cent whether a man is a 'State University boy' or not," says the Commonwealth, it most assuredly is a matter of interest to the great Kansas public whether their University is fitting the youth of Kansas to take responsible and hence prominent places, and this benefits the state in its progress towards higher civilization, or whether it is using the many favors of the people for a useless end. The Commonwealth is mistaken. The t B have chaf a gr man YOUNG LADY STUDENTS.—Your special attention is called to our very complete line of Cloaks.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. Local. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SEPTEMBER 28, 1888 Lamont DeCamp was "seen in the halls" this week. The second faculty party of the season was held at Prof. Robinson's last evening. The University Telegraph Club is now in working order. There is a rumor concerning a new weekly in the newspaper circles of the University. Professors Blake and Bailey are in Southeastern Kansas examining specimens of coal. There are quite a number of boarding clubs attempting to "fill a long felt want" at present. If any student should have occasion to refer to a post-office money order, he should use the word "pomo." Quite a number of new houses were built in "students quarter of town" during the summer. Miss A. J. Sterling, who has been visiting her son, Prof. Wilson Sterling, returned to her home at Salina, Kas., Tuesday. W. R. Cone,'88, received the nomination for County Superintendent of Instruction, of Coffey County, last Saturday over six opponents. Prof. J. H. Canfield addressed the September meeting of the Douglas County Horticultural Society, upon his impressions of the "Great West." Memorial services were held in honor of O. U. Tosh, formerly secretary of the Y. M. C. A., of this city last Sunday at the Y. M. C. A. rooms. The tennis court in South Park, belonging to the association, although not of the best, is not allowed to stand idle long during the afternoons. The Betas have two new pledged men, Cook and Blue, son of Senator Blue whom they entertained Thursday night. Blue is one of the best men "on the list" so far. D. E. Palmer, who was graduated from the Law department last year, but now with the firm of Gleed & Gleed, of Topeka, was in the city a few hours Monday. Chas. McFarland left Tuesday for Carrollton, Mo., where he will accept the position of time keeper on the Chicago extension of the California & Santa Fe railway. There was a "house warming" at the Congregational Church last evening. If many more of these affairs happen it will make it warm for the coal dealers this winter. Prof. Canfield's political economy class have at last decided that it takes over $1,200 a year for a man to live and support a family as he should. It is very interesting to walk down the street and see the men who spend $100 a year for books, shoveling dirt, or loafing on a dry goods box. John Manning, of this years graduating class of the Musical Department, has charge of the musical part of Lane University, at LeCompton. There is a sidewalk to the University, now along Mississippi street. In consequence of which there are quite a good many students staying in West Lawrence as the ascent of the hill is easier. Mr. Will A. White and Mr. V. L. Kellogg, who have done acceptable work on the Lawrence Journal during their summer vacation, have returned to their studies at the State University, but will still continue to contribute to the Journal.Newton Republican. Those present were: Meddames Beatty, Sanford, Lewis, Rankin, McDonald, Hopkins; Misses Margarite Eidemiller, Kate Merill, May Walker, Tella Chapman, Julia Benedict, Lillie McMillian, Emma Bartell, Sidney Dailey, Jeane Fullerton, Helen Simpson, Maggie Mushrush, Mamie Monroe, Marcella Howland, Nannie Towne. The Kappa Alpha Thetas and their pledged members were entertained last Wednesday evening at the home of Miss Benedict, by Misses Benedict and McMillian. The evening was delightfully spent in conversation, singing and the usual Theta pleasures. The Philological Club meets at 4 p. m. in the Greek room. Two papers will be presented; one by Prof. A.G. Canfield on "Gastion Paris on Medieval Literature;" the other by Prof. Marsh on "A German Scholar on Shakespeare's Metre." All interested are invited. Prof. W.H.Carruth started Saturday afternoon for Cambridge, Mass., where he will spend a year in Harvard College, devoting himself to special language studies. His place at the University will be filled during his absence by Mrs.Carruth, who, as Miss Frances Sehlegel, so acceptably filled the chair for eight years prior to her marriage. While Prof. Carruth will be much missed in many circles, his friends all rejoice that he is to have the opportunity for further work in the line of studies in which he has already distinguished himself. Prof. A. G. Canfield, Russell Whitman and Fred. Kellogg returned Saturday evening from Kansas City where they represented Lawrence in the Tennis tournament. The remainder of the preliminary rounds and the finals were concluded in the afternoon. The doubles were won by Farrish & Smith, of St. Joseph, while C. R. Rockwell, of the Kansas City Club, carried off the honors in the singles. The last preliminary round in singles was called between Farrish, of St. Joseph, and Canfield, of Lawrence. By steady playing and excellent placing, Farrish finished the round in two sets, winning each with a score of 6-2. There is a remarkable dearth of parties this year. It is probably due to the fact that the ladies are not giving any "rushing parties." Hence the gentlemen do not feel under any obligations. Last Friday evening the august faculty of the University made a successful attempt to warm the house of their fellow member, Professor "Capt." Franklin. Those present enjoyed themselves hugely, especially at that part of the proceedings usually termed "refreshments." The high order of the eatables was due to the culinary efforts of Professor Adelain Rudolph and Mrs. Professor McDonald. Under the influence of these viands Prof. Snow was prevailed upon to sing his celebrated zoological song, performed at least "373 times before the crowned heads of Europe." At a late hour the meeting adjourned, leaving the residence of the Professor greatly heated. PROGRAMS FOR TO-DAY. PROGRAMS FOR PODAY Athenium will hold its second meeting of the year this afternoon.

Bear, Professor Marsh announced to his Shakspere class last week that he would, on Saturday evening, read Othello to those who would meet him in the library at seven o'clock in the evening. Upon his arrival at the appointed time he found his class assembled, together with a large number of interested visitors. The class begun the study of Othello this week, therefore the object of this reading was to give those who had not heard the play on the stage or read it through continuously, an opportunity to get a connected idea of the whole, before they began a critical study of it in parts. The play was read by acts, only a slight pause intervening. Professor Marsh accomplished what is so difficult to do. He kept in perfect harmony with each character by appropriately changing his voice and to some extent facial expression. To portray in rapid transition the gentle Desdamonia, the cunning Iago, and the "constant loving, noble" Moor is, not considering the physical strain very difficult to achieve. Ackley is local editor on the Tribune. The hearers thoughtful of the proverb and the reader were strictly attentive, and therefore instructively and pleasurably entertained. The students certainly owe Professor Marsh thanks for his uniring interest in their behalf. Morris, of the Juniors, came in last Sunday. John Davis was in Ottawa over Sunday. E. D.

He is continually finding himself surrounded by temptations, no less than nine girls, having already attempted to flirt with him, thinking he was one of the new students. The first number of the Review this year is a very creditable one. In its editorial department it shows that vigor and energy so characteristic of Mr. V. L. Kellogg. It has a good selection of literary matter, and its locals and personals lack that staleness that has been so noticeable about the Review in the past. The business managers, Messrs. Wilmoth and Caywood, display their ability in that direction, by page after page of "ads," and "paid locals." The people of Kansas are at last beginning to realize that the "University at Lawrence" is a state institution, and one of which any State might be proud. It is a fact that the University has not, in the past, been advertised as it should have been. But the high moral character and the intellectual worth of the young men and young women who have gone out from that institution and who are taking positions of responsibility and trust in all departments of business is giving to the University a reputation which will last forever. The great orator from Baker is now stumping the State in the guise of a young "farmer." Prep. Snow's baby is getting more notices than Prof. Snow, which is saying a great deal.—State Journal. The question: of a state base ball league is being agitated in some of the colleges. Those who expect to take part in the oratorical contest should begin preparation at once. The students of the Lawrence University this year come chiefly from the corn belt. Everything in Kansas, from hogs up to statesmen, depends upon corn.—Manhattan Industrialist. A number of the old University students are taking quite an active part in this campaign. The Secretary of the State Central Committee, Beon S. Hutchings, is a graduate of our institution. There is now a "Kansas shelf" in the library at the University at Lawrence. This keeps T. Brower Peacock and Hattie Horner from getting mixed up with John Greenleaf Whittier and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Kansas City Star. It would be an excellent thing for the University if the students from the various parts of the state would write short letters from time about the work that is being accomplished and the manner in which it is being done. Most editors would only be too willing to publish a letter written in an attractive and interesting style. Every effort possible should be made this year to secure several good lecturers to address the students. A lecture on some practical subject releaves the monotony of class work, starts the student into some needed channel of thought, and when he returns it is with a new energy and livelier interest. PROFESSOR CANFIELD, of the Kansas University, is one of the few men who have made a success of mixing political economy and lawn tennis. Kansas City Star. The bright paragrapher on the Star does not seem to understand that we have two Canfields, one who delights in lawn tennis and the other in political economy. One passing along Tennessee and other streets cannot help noticing quite a number of placards with the usual inscription of "Rooms and Board." Yet there is a complaint of a lack of suitable boarding houses. Evidently the rooms or board are not what they should be, or the price is too high. Why cannot something be done to accommodate the students who are supposed to be the principal support of the town. Miss Sherman who graduated from Ottawa University last year, and at once took the position of State Secretary of the G.W.C.A., has been doing some excellent work; she attended the meeting of the National Executive Committee in the east during the summer, and reports that a paper will soon he published in Chicago, in the interest of the association.

If you seek the fond and true, Albert is the name for you. Don't expect a steady head. If your fancy runs to Ned. If unruffled life you'd know. Pick out faithful, honest Joe. The importance of being a good conversationist does not seem to be fully realized among college students. Conversation is an art and a much neglected one. Its advantages are under-valued. It gives a range of thought and a fluency in speech, besides the benefits of social intercourse. A writer in one of our exchanges in commenting on this subject says : "With most people the lack of ideas is greater than the lack of words with which to express them. So then, it is better, probably, to employ the mind with ideas than in searching for uncommon words in which to cloth them. The way to gain new ideas is to listen to another's. Another way is to try to tell your own. What another says may be entirely different from that which you thought. What you say may call up more ideas in their train than you ever suspected you had on a subject. The stimulus which you receive is something; for, when you find out how little you do know and how much you ought to know, the impulse is to find out all you can. In this way we may become more learned and advance more quickly to a higher intellectual plane. As the Courier is the student's newspaper of course its columns are for this use of every member of the Universtiy. If you have grievances, complain of them in the Courier. If you have any good suggestion to make, make it in the Courier. If you have any items of interest to any one, give them to the Courier. It is your paper and you should make use of it to air your idiosyncrasies that might otherwise grow commonplace. Air yourself in our columns, we say. Don't be backward. The extent to which athletic sports have been carried in some of the large colleges, says one writer, where a fierce spirit of rivalry is stimulated by the money at stake and by the notoriety given by the metropolitan press, has served to lower the standard of college achievement and to break up that stundacious of habit by which alone a thorough education is acquired. I believe in the training of the body, as well as the mind. And I believe in sport—that is, in the innocent frolic of exuberant spirits and in the friendly antagonism of natural powers. It tends to make a sound mind in a sound body, without which learning is of doubtful utility. But the intensity of this age breeds excess. Excess disturbs the balance and prevents that evenness of development which is necessary to the well rounded man. THE COURIER continues to be a part of every K. S. U. student's life, whether he or she is in school at present or out. Each mail brings letters renewing subscriptions and making inquiries. This is the tone of many: "Inclosed find M. O. for one dollar, for which send me the Courier for this year. I find it necessary to my health and happiness that I regularly receive the Courier." This please us as may be supposed, especially the "find enclosed" clause. Thus does the popularity of K. S. U.'s newspaper increase as each class comes and goes, for when it is once taken it is never given up. "With fair ability, the essentials of success are Equipment and Opportunity. The world expects more of a man than ever before, and the advancement of women into many fields of endeavor formerly occupied by men requires the latter to find new opportunities. In an address before an Eastern college, Col. Albert Clark touched upon some interesting points. He said: The boy is expected to know his mind before he discovers his beard and to choose his calling before he enters college. I am convinced that this is a great mistake. There are certain broad foundations which should be laid for every one before any superstructure is built. Language is the footing course of all. It may be one's vernacular only, but better if it takes in Latin and Greek and better still if it expands with French and German. But language of some kind is the best possible equipment of the mind. It is a truism that there is no royal road to learning or wealth. The "pony" may carry a young man through a large and ill governed college, but when he must race with the best trained steeds through the courses of life he will wish that he had developed his own muscle. I disapprove an elective curriculum. I believe with Dr. McCosh, late of Princeton, that age and knowledge of the world, are necessary to determine what is the best preparation for the world, and with the late Dr. Mark Hopkins, so long the president of Williams, that if students can teach their professors as to a matter about which they know nothing, why have Will Carleton at Home professors to teach them in anything? Too many young men think that the potency of a diploma, the reputation of having taken a collegiate course, are the chief benefits of their four years' study, and parri passu they conclude that the greater the institution the more impressive will be the diploma. Will Carleton, to thousands who know him only through his writings, is "the poet of the fireside;" to his family and friends he is the lover of the home hearth. His early life was passed on his father's farm in Michigan, and here, doubtless, was developed that interest in the pathos and tragedy of rural domestic life which is so strikingly apparent in his verse. Some time ago, Mr. Carleton selected Brooklyn as his place of residence, and there, in one of the most desirable portions of the city, he has built for himself a home. It is a comfortable, almost luxurious furnished house, representing a portion of the profits that have accumulated from the poet's published works. With him lives his aged mother, and his devotion is divided between her and his wife. He is not a methodical worker, and does not allow himself to be governed by any system. At times a person will be entirely outlined in his mind before he sits down to write it out; at other times he goes to his desk without the least idea of what the effort will result in. With Mr. Carleton the construction of a poem involves labor and care, and he never allows himself to be hurried. He invariably chooses the morning for literary work. His desk is in the upper portion of the house, and here he does his reading as well as his writing. Mr. Carleton's evenings are generally spent at home. He enters but little into society, preferring the companionship of his family and a few intimate friends to the most brilliant assemblage. Beautiful Broadcloths and Henriettas, with the most Elegant Trimmings to match. Young lady students are specially invited to call and see them at WEAVER'S. Of the poems which have made Will Carleton's name famous, "Betsy and I Are Out" was the first to appear in 1871. He received no remuneration from the newspaper in which the poem was first printed, but its publication led to a request for a poem from a New York publisher. In response to this request "Over the Hills to the Poorhouse" was written during the same year, and later appeared "Gone with a Handsomer Man." Although the author confesses to a fondness for the poems enumerated, his preference is for "The First Settler's Story." "If I have a favorite," he says, "I think that is my choice." Mr. Carleton is 42 years of age, though to a stranger he appears much younger. He has an especially youthful countenance, and his laugh is gleeful and infectious. Notwithstanding the gray tinge that is appearing in his hair, he has the figure of an athlete, and his step is light and quick.—Book Buyer tor September.

There is but one lady student at John Hopkins. Yale is the first American college to have lectures on Volapuk. Of the 1,494 convicts in Joliet penitentiary 129 are college graduates. There are thirty college graduates on the staff of the New York Sun. Twenty-four young women graduated as lawyers in Michigan last summer. In Michigan University a course has been established in the art of writing plays for the stage. Amherst has sent out two hundred college professors and presidents, and twenty judges of the Supreme Court. The department of journalism established at Cornell this fall is a commendable departure, and one which might well be adopted in all the larger colleges. Let no one suppose that by acting a good part through life he will escape scandal. There will be those even who hate him for the very qualities that ought to procure him esteem. One rich man wears poor clothes because he is rich and can do anything, while a poor man wears fine clothes because he is poor and wants to create the impression that he is not. He who gives good advice builds with one hand; he who gives good council and example,builds with both; but he who gives good admonition and bad example,builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.—Beacon. C. D. Todd, of the University of Worcester, O., was awarded the highest prize—$250—offered by the Protective Tariff League to seniors of American colleges for best essay on the necessity of a protective tariff; King University of Kansas, 2nd,$100; Sully, Bucknell University, 3d, $50. Almost all the colleges were represented in the competition Miss Lyman, in a preliminary talk to her Virgil class, made some remarks worthy of wider circulation. She referred to the fact that often students of unequal mental capacity and with more or less fixed habits of application meet for the purpose of mutual assistance in the preparation of lessons. The rays of light thrown upon the lesson by the various minds represented are gathered and concentrated, and in this way the translation, solution or demonstration, as the case might be, is greatly facilitated. The weaker student is thus received into believing that he has his lesson thoroughly prepared and goes to the class room with confidence, but the mental gymnastics in which he afterwards indulges conyances not only his teacher, but himself also of his deficiency.

Where there are no men, show thyself a man, runs the old Rabbinical saying. If it is a vain, babbling crowd that encircles you, a crowd without dignity, and grace and culture, and abiding faith, let them perceive, not through the conscious exhibition of goody qualities, which would display your conceit, not your character, but through the unconscious beauty, purity and simplicity of your life, as effortless as the shining sun at dawn, that your example is worthy of imitation.

Summers is comparatively unknown to theatre goers here, but he comes with the highest recommendations of the California press, as an actor and a gentleman. The whole Company is well balanced and good, and the play was endorsed by the late Henry Ward Beecher as the purest and clearest drama on the American Stage.
