The University is represented at the meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science at Leavenworth, by Profs. Snow, Sayre, Blake, Bailey, Mr. W. S. Franklin, Mr. Dyche and Mr. Murphy. V. L. Kellogg and several other students are also in attendance.
The present week has been full of interesting events. The excursion to Kansas City yesterday attracted many students, the State Scientific Academy of Leavenworth called away several of the Professors and last but not least, the Oratorical Association has its charms for many.
A certain professor of the University who by the way knows a good thing when he sees it, subscribed for the TIMES this week, and also ordered a copy sent regularly to his mother who lives in Massachusetts, saying "I want her to know what is going on here at the University."
Owing to the necessary absence of a large number of the Faculty, in attendance upon the annual meeting of the State Science Association meeting at Leavenworth, the Faculty Hallow E'en party which was to have been held at Prof. J. H. Canfield's, has been postponed to the evening of Thursday. November Sth.

Prof. Marsh has posted a notice on the bulletin board calling the attention of students to the "deferred examinations." The notice reads, "all students, who were admitted to the University on conditions, must appear to-morrow at 9 o'clock in room No. 9." When Prof. Marsh says to-morrow, he means to-morrow and "don't you forget it."
Electrometer," 2d, "Physical aspect of the glacial Epoch, 3rd, Discussion of "Electro-Motive-force of Magnetization." The Professor is fast becoming a scientist of national reputation and it can be assured that K. S. U. is ably represented at Leavenworth.
When Professors Blake and Bailey were in Osage county a couple of weeks ago, one of them was accosted at a small town by a band of "rag-muffins" and the inquiry was made if "he was goe'n to preach for us casionally." Each professor says that the "other fellow" was the victim. "When doctors (professors) disagree, who shall decide?"
The delegates to the Lutheran Synod, who hately met at Lawrence, visited the University last Friday morning. They arrived in time to attend the devotional exercises, after which, they were shown through the buildings. The visitors were friends of the University, and will as they return to their homes, give to the institution the credit which it deserves.
What is the matter with the K. S. U. orchestra this year? We have the material for a first class orchestra and K. S. U. should not be behind the other institutions of the State. There is nothing that pleases the "boarding house keepers" of Lawrence so much as to have the students "tooting" away on a horn all day long. Has the college spirit entirely left us?
Miss Etta Hadley entertained a few o her friends last Friday evening in a progressive angling party. Every one present fished hard to win one of the handsome prizes which had been procured for the occasion. After the refreshments had been served all joined in dancing. Every one present had a very enjoyable time and all found Miss Hadley to be a royal entertainer.
W. S. Franklin displays his knowledge of Science in three papers at the Kansas Academy of Science. 1st., "Liquid film
Prof. Snow plays a prominent part at Leavenworth this week. He has prepared several papers for the occasion. The most important paper is on "Logan County Nickel Mines." Other papers are on the "Discovery and significance of stipules upon fossil leaves of the Dakota Rocks of Kansas;" a comparison of the records of the two anemometers of the State University; "Three new Kansas Birds"; and "Additions to the list of Kansas Lepidoptera."
Within a few days the best editions of the works of Pope and Dryden making twenty-two vols in all, will be presented to the library. The works of Dryden will be placed in the library by that generous, thoughtful and well known friend of the University. Hon. Geo. R. Peck, of Topeka. The works of Pope come to the library through the kindness of Col. Rossington, of Topeka. Col. Rossington is a man of education, full of generous principles and has a desire to benefit his follows. The names of these gentlemen will always be intimately associated with the Kansas State University and their monuments will be a glorious one, a grand library for K. S. U.
Prof. J. H. Canfield has posted on the bulletin board the proposal of the American Tariff League for prize essays for year 1889. The League offers to the under-graduate students of the senior classes of colleges and Universities of the United States, a series of prizes for approved essays on "What are Raw Materials?" "Would Free Raw Materials be Advantageous to the Labor and Industries of the United States?" Essays are not to exceed eight thousands words, to be signed by some other than the writer's name, and must be sent to the league on or before March 1st, 1889. The essay must be type written. The awards will be made on June 1st, 1889, as follows: For the best essay, $250; second $100; third best. $50. For the other essays of especial merit silver medals will be awarded.
The city water works are a great benefit to the University. There is never enough "presure on," to furnish any water for Mt. Orread. The campus was all torn up a year ago in putting in pipes and the University promised beautiful grounds but at no time has there been enough water in the pipes to water the grass and the trees. Supt. Crocker has worked hard and faithfully to beautify the grounds but was powerless last summer to "battle with the scorching sun." The want of water is the only reason why the campus does not wear a "verdent hue."
To-morrow night the funniest of all funny comedies will be presented at the opera house. Without much plot, it is intensely funny from first to last. Mr. Augustin Daly's "A Night Off" will make the sourest old men roll in their seat. You will smile; you will laugh; you will scream. You positively can't help it. Don't wear your Sunday clothes because you will burst the buttons off. Go prepared for the worst, for no one can live thru orch the play and not laugh. Take "A Night Off" and go.
A Night of Mirth!

Pickings About the Chemistry Building.
L. T. Smith is assisting Prof. Bailey in the examination of some "Kanzas Koals."
The class in mineralogy visited Mr. Joseph Savage's place last Tuesday afternoon and viewed his collection of minerals.
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey read papers at Leavenworth, on the "Composition of some of the coals of Kansas," and on "some of the constituents and Economic value of corn cobs." It is needless to say that the professor did credit to himself and the University.
The building has been almost deserted for the past few days. Professors Bailey and Sayre are taking in the meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science at Leavenworth.
Weida and Slosson are acting in the capacity of Professors in the absence of the regular professors.

The first of November has come and gone and if you are not a voter in the February election for the Editorial staff, why not?
WHILE the Oratorical association meetings attract the attention of the majority of the students, the reports of the meetings and the comments do not occupy the entire space of the TIMES.
THE TIMES is surely the representative paper of K. S. U. when it is read by 475 students. The total circulation at present is 625. To claim the largest circulation of any college paper in the United States is unnecessary.
THE Courier gives an account of Mrs. Junius Suttif's entertainment of her "young friends." Among the list given are found the names of Mesdames, J. D. Bowersock, Dr. Summerfield, J. H. Canfield and Handscomb. The affair was no doubt a complete success, yet we can but smile at speaking of the guests as "young friends."
THE Courier clips a few lines from the Times of Oct. 19, and gives a half column of valuable (?) space to comments upon said article. While the Times may not be decidedly in favor of studying Anglo-Saxon, it does not attempt to entirely dispense with the modern English language and to substitute pet slang phrases instead. The Courier seems either to be waging a merciless war upon the English Language or does not know how to use it.
It might be well to suggest for the benefit of the Courier that instead of giving the regular two columns of advertising to the TIMES, that the addition table be studied in order not to expose the limited amount of education the Courier represents. In reporting the supposed canvass of the male students of the University it states "Number old enough to vote. 86; of these 24 are Democrats, 62 Republicans, 10 Prohibitionists and 1 Union Labor."
ONE of the inducements offered by the University, to the prospective students throughout the State, is a lecture course. We do not wish to enter complaint against our lecture course, but considerable inquiry, and some complaint has been heard upon the subject. Nearly two months have elapsed since the beginning of the term and still we see no notice or a lecture. It is to hoped that the faculty will take immediate action in regard to the matter and that we may attend a lecture in the near future.
MANY of our subscribers from a distance have requested us to send them all the back numbers of the Times. We are not able to do this as our second edition is entirely exhausted. We shall send all of the other back numbers, as long as they hold out.
ONE of the able writers on The Courier, last week made some remarks about the ability of THE TIMES writers. We do not wish to enter into any discussion of the respective ability of the two staffs, but would like to remind the writer of the aforesaid remarks, that he exposed his own lamentable ignorance in literature in the English class some time ago, when asked concerning the authorship of one of Shakespeare's most familiar plays.
THE TIMES has done something phenominal in the history of K. S. U. journalism, something none of its illustrious predecessors have accomplished, that of at once become self-sustaining. With this issue the students paper is one month old. The Times owes no man a cent. The TIMES has a larger subscription list than its rival. We do not like to brag, but we would like to quietly remind some of our friends (?) of their predicttions of one month ago, that the TIMES would succub to the inevitable in less than a month.
LET US HAVE PEACE.
EVERY true friend of the University most deeply deplore the action of the students during the past few weeks, in their scramble for so-called "honors." Doubtless one side is right, and the other is wrong. As a University paper, the Times champions neither side, nor shall attempt to discuss their merits. We only deplore the condition of affairs, which makes such anunbecoming contest possible.
It is not complimentary to our University that its students cannot settle their affairs in a peaceable manner; that all rules are disregarded; that there is occasion for one of its students to be brought up before the courts of justice, upon a criminal charge; that the assistance of the faculty is needed to preserve order in a students meeting. Of course all are not to blame for this, and probably, only a few. But something is wrong. What is it?
We think, that if we reflect but a little upon the past and present, the disease of our "body politic" can be readily diagnosed, and its course at once discussed. Nine times out of ten, these unpleasant conflicts are caused by that miserable, narrow, selfish feeling of cliques and rings. These are the bane of student-life. Their rule we trust, will soon be over.
Every dishonorable contest, that has ever taken place in the University has been caused by a few attempting to dictate to the many. And the consequence has been that many times the worth and fitness have been trampled under foot.
Then it would be impossible for any score of students to attempt to dictate the course of any University organization, in which all are interested.
To avoid this, every student should make of himself a "model" politician." He should take an active part in what is called our University politics. He should see that honors fall on worthy heads, and that the students, who represent K. S. U. shall always be representative students. Then will clique and combination be like into the "sere and yellow leaf," and vox students, vox Universitas.
To bring about this Utaion era o good, faithful and true worth, all organizations, societies, management of papers, etc., should be open to all students interested.
Buldozing would then be useless. No premium would then be offered for dishonor.Books wouldn't have to be doctored,but fair play alone rewarded.The majority can generally be trusted.We make no war upon any fraternity or fraternities,upon any class or clique.But every student should declare war against every combination formed in opposition to the best interests of our University.In every contest,let the will of the major of the students—whether "frat" or "non-frat."high or low classman—be done.And from their decision let there be no appeal.
MOTHER HUBBARD.
'Fore Apolloclimbs the mountains
Shoots his light atgwart the sky,
I would trip among the dales,
Hear the birds nidily.
I would kiss the gittering dew drops
With my gourmets pure and white;
I would flounce my Mother Hubbard
In Aurora's humble light.
If you're waking call me early.
Call me early mother teacher.
I would wear my Mother Hubbard
In the morning bright and clear.
All the birds shall do me homage,
Like a knight on bended icece.
Every insect make obelance—
High or low, on ground or tree.
I can tread the streets in darkness
With 2impunity severe.
For my spectral, ghostly figure
Flows the stoutest heart with fear.
I could make a cat have spasms,
Scare a doggie dood to death;
At the sight of Mother Hubbard
Men themselves will hold their breath
Bless, ob bless the Mother Hubbard
best contriverage ever made;
There is nothing binding 'bout it
it is sober, flowing, stained.
Is old Hermes now a terror
To the Mother Hubbard race?
Do the Sister Hubbards tremble
When he meets them face to face?
Never seems to be so modest. So persuasive or sincerse. When the hither of Mother Hubbard Seeks the head, the eye, or ear.
No, he never makes a canvas
Of the spacious flowing suit,
Never splits his sies with laughter;
When he forms a marquette.
"So if you re waking, call me early. Call me early mother dear." I would wear my Mother Hubbard. In the morning bright and clear.
For Apollo climbs the mountains,
Shoots his dart attempt the sky,
I would trip among the dales,
Hear the binds lullaby.
THE MOTHER HUBBARD.

What is it that the ladies do
When warm spring days are coming on
To walk about upon the lawn?
It is the "Mother Hubbard."
What is it that our sister wears,
When no one comes for whom she cares,
But when its John, runs off up stairs?
It is the "Mother Hubbard."
RAY BROS
What is it that disgusts mankind,
'He' he hates to say what's in his mind.
And makes him wish he'd been born blind?
It's the "Mother Hubbard."
What is it that boys detest,
But, because girls wear 'em do their best
To believe that pattern as good as the rest?
It is the "Mother Hubbard"
What is it makes the trumps retreat,
And on a back-ground take a seat
And overcomes them more than heat?
The sight of a "Mother Hubbard."
Have the freshest stock of
What is that loose old rag I see
That flops like a blanket on a tree,
And is disrussing us can be!
That loose old "Mother Hubbard."

THE confidence and respect held by the students for the Faculty, perhaps was never so clearly demonstrated as in the Oratorical fight we are now having. In most of our neighboring colleges, had the same fight taken place, the Faculty would have hastened to interfere. Any such uninvited interference would of course been resented by the students, and a fight between faculty and students would have taken place. No such event has happened here however. The Faculty held themselves aloof from the matter, until the students, disparing of settling the affair without some outside help, invited several members of the Faculty to help them settle it. This a committee of the Faculty is trying to do, and whether they accomplish a satisfactory settlement or not, the students will feel that the Faculty have endeavored to treat all parties fair, and another hand of friendship will be welded between Faculty and students.
The Athenaeum Literary Society met last Friday evening, and a very interesting program was rendered. Prof. J. A. Canfield's talk on California was greatly enjoyed by all present. This society is fast becoming an important faction in the literary work of the University. A number of new members have been added, and the new students who have joined are not afraid of doing literary work. One week from to-night the society will meet again and a new feature in the program for that evening will be announced in the issue of the TIMES.

What is the matter with a glee club? Various and somewhat successful attempts have been made in the past to secure material sufficient for distinctive K. S. U. songs. The collections with musical adaptations have been published at times in our University papers, but our musical talent has not only not availed itself of the opportunity thus presented for awakening University spirit and patriotism but are not even prepared with the best of Eastern college songs. College songs, so prominent in the east and which are distinctive features of school life, are one of the things which add greatly to ones enjoyment and engender those feelings of love for alma mater during our presence here, and which awaken such pleasant memories in the alumnus. Their influence can not but be beneficial. Besides we often visit the neighboring colleges of the State, and a Glee club, backed by such a University spirit as would result from the above, would be advantageous in many respects. This is something upon which all can unite, it is free from partisanship, it is devoid of faction, and to it we should give our sympathy and enthusiastic support. Let those who possess the ability assume the leadership and direct the work and one of the things of which we may soon be proud will be a University Glee Club and our K. S. U. songs.
We submit the following taken from the last number of the Hesperian without comment:
The Courier from Lawrence puts in its appearance this month. Its columns give evidence of some struggle between barbarian people and the fraternities, but the closest observation has failed to get as into the secret of the Courier's own political platform. Now brehren, this isn't right. You only excite our curiosity by your mystic utterances. The matter is one in which we are considerably interested and you will confer a favor by declaring yourselves in the near future. In this connection we will add that we hope the circumstances when known will indicate a change for the better in the Courier. Isn't it possible for the Kansas State University to raise up another Sullivan? The Courier is indeed in sore need of a successor to that old war horse.
NORHING speaks better for the steady advance of our institution than the fact of the increased interest of her many friends. It is almost daily that we are called upon to chronicle the presentation of valuable gifts to our library and many other departments. Such donations, however small, are most thankfully received and fully appreciated. We only long for the day to dawn when some of our own alumni may be sufficiently favored financially to be able to repay alba mater principal and interest, for the foundation of their success.
At Smith's News Depot, can be found the famous novel on skepticism, entitled "Robert Elsmere," by Mrs. Humphry Ward. This novel can be had in the pocket edition, price 29c.

Gilmore.
The musical event of the season will be the grand Jubilee concert given by Gilmore's Great Band next Tuesday afternoon. This is the greatest musical organization in the world and needs no press notices to tell people what to expect. The band will give an election day matinee in Lawrence, the sale of seats opening Monday morning. The full evening concert programme will be carried out, including the anvil chorus and the cannon. The music will be grand. Secure seats early.
Orophilian Society.
A good number was in attendance at the last meeting of the society on last Friday evening. Most of the active members were present in addition to many new students and visitors, so that an increased interest is being manifested in literary work and those who permit themselves to be deluded by the assertion that Orophilian is inactive will have occasion in the future to change their misguided opinion.
Many students, new and old, have been induced to unite in regaining for Orophilian the position and reputation once so enviable in K. S. U., and there is good reason to believe that, even if this is not attained, her field of usefulness may be more notable than it has been for two years.
The program rendered was as follows:
Reading...F, C. Schrader
Declaration...M. Morton
Decision...Mr. Culver
Extremanous...M. Morton
Extremorous...M. Morton
The absence of others made the program somewhat incomplete, though the exercises were very creditable. The remainder of the evening was occupied with the regular election of officers and miscellaneous business. The officers elected were President, F. E. Reed; Secretary, Florence Rensoner; Treasurer, G. O. Virtue; Executive committee, Messrs. Bear, Caywood and Miller; Program committee, Messrs. Culver, Wine and Miss Beardsley.
The annual report of the treasurer showed that the society was in a good financial condition. A number of new names were added to the roll of the society. The next regular meeting of Orophilian's will be on Friday evening. Nov. 2nd at 8 o'clock for which a good program is being prepared. New students and others interested are specially invited to attend.

Har or No News
This verse is not very classic. It is probably not good English, but then it is awful true, and very good advice. It would furnish a text for a good sermon, or a subject for a well written theme.
In our own University life, we, each and all, have twenty-four hours per day, at our disposal. But did you ever notice how differently they are used? And how different the results?
There are lots of castle builders among us. You see them wandering sleepily through the halls. In each recitation they are awakened several times from their dreams. They go home every afternoon, and spend the remainder of their time, in thinking what good lessons they are going to have to-morrow. But to-morrow comes before they have time to get to work, and they again commence their castle-building, but you know their to-morrow never comes. The "other fellows" are doing, while our castle-builders are thinking.
Do, did, done, is the summary of all action. The "getting there" always depends upon it.
Energy is the means, and success the end.
Take our word for it, if you won't "sit and loaf," you are bound to make something of yourself.
Young man don't spend every afternoon and evening down at that clothing store. Don't spend every evening at that house on Tennessee street, simply because you like that girl pretty well, and she endures you. Don't spend three hours every morning and afternoon looking for the mail carrier. "Don't sit and loaf." Do something. The time that each of us, in our college course have spend in nothingness, might have made us proficient in any one line of study, or sport. There are few of us who do not waste two hours a day. Think what we might have accomplished with this time, in a course of a few years.
If we had applied it to athletics we might have been as great a pitcher as Schilling, or challenged the admiration of the "fair sex," by our plays on "first," as Davis.
If our taste leaned toward a "racket," we might have wielded it with the same grace as a Whitman or a Prof. Canfield.
If we longed for oratorical honors,we might have bellowed in our own sanctum for two successive hours each day,and have become a latter day Higgins or Doran.
If we wished for social honors, during this time could we not have cultivated an "infantile gurgle" and "babyish store," and have learned to "hug by music," and have become a brilliant conversationalist, in learning how to talk about nothing, without saying anything? Then we would have been invited to every party. They couldn't have got along without us. Oh how nice.
And last,—but not least—if we had an uncontrollable passion for grades, we might have studied two hours every day, and had all its instead of 3s. But more anon. Our feelings overcome us.
Of all sad words of tongues or pen, the saddest are these.—It might have been. You will observe that this little rythmetical couplet is original. VIEWER.
The Science Club.
of the Gospel Hymns Prof. Sayre and Prof. Bailey added some particulars from their own observations in the glass works.
The scheme of holding the sessions of the societies on Friday night instead of in the afternoon, seems to work well in the case of the Science club. A larger number than have met this year before were gathered around the long table in the club room on last Friday evening. The first paper was presented by Harry Buckingham on the manufacture of moulded glass. Those who have heard Mr. Buckingham's former papers will not need to be told of the interesting way in which he treats such subjects. He described the glass factories of Pittsburg which he visited this summer, and traced in detail the progress of a bit of melted glass taken from the "glory-hole" to the finished goblet in the annealing rooms. Then he told the story of the making of a lump chimney in another factory. The workmen, he said, were nearly all young men and boys, and while at work they constantly sang some
The second paper was an anatomical study of the grasshopper by V. L. Kellogg, illustrated by blackboard drawings of the front and side "elevations" and "working plans" of the internal structure of the insect. Mr.Kellogg described the digestive apparatus of the grasshopper, the process of digestion, the circulatory and nervous system, closing with a detailed analysis of the ear from his own dissections. In the general discussion which followed this paper, Prof. Snow gave an account of the discoveries of Prof. Mayer, who has been investigating the auditory apparatus of the mosquito. Prof. Mayer has examined the fibrillae in the ear of the mosquito, which corresponds to Carti's organ, and has found that a part of them vibrate with each note of the scale and indicate to some extent the directions as well as the character of a sound. In this way the mosquito is enabled to find his mate. Prof. Snow stated that the ear of insects may be located in the head, in the throat, in the antennae, or even in the legs.
Fred Liddke next read a sketch of the life of Bunsen, giving an account of his great discoveries in electrolysis and spectroscopy. Prof. Bailey, in answer to questions, told something of his interview with Mr. Bunsen some years ago.
Among Science notes the most important was Mr. Franklin's presentation of an article in a recent number of the "Philosophical Magazine," showing the analogy between substances in solutions, and gases. A careful series of experiments has shown that Mariotte's, Gay Lussac's, and other laws of gases can be applied to substances in solutions.
There was a general and somewhat exciting discussion of this hypothesis and some of the members manifested an incredulity which Mr. Franklin found it difficult to overcome.
In the business meeting it was voted to purchase soup bowls and coffee cups for the great Semi-Annual "It" which soon occurs. S—n.

Student—"And did he carry his Commentaries with him?"
Instructor—"I believe so."

WHY HE HASN'T CALLED.
Professor in English, (speaking of tautology.) 'Now Mr. Sggir, take this expression: 'The fair sex' is there any reason why women should be referred to as the fair sex.
Mr. Sggir who hasn't been around this year yet? Well—er—I—er—really no I can't say that I can."

Vassar Rules of Etiquette.
From the Argonaut.
Society at Vassar has its rules of etiquette. Every girl in the college saluilles fourth during the early days of the term, card-case in hand, to call on the freshman in her corridor. If the freshman be out, a card is left; if in, the acquaintance is formed; but in either case must be returned within a week. After this, calls are informal, and parties given. Each girl is expected to give a party in her room once in the year. These are invariably held after 10 o'clock, at which hour lights should be put out; but with closed doors, carefully shrouded in shawls and water-proof cloaks, the night watchman gets no hint of the dissipations being indulged in within. When three girls share a sitting room, with a bed room apiece opening out of it (for most of the rooms are in groups of this kind), they combine in the giving of their entertainments, thus saving no small amount of trouble and expense. Besides the individual parties or 'spreads' there are the legitimate class-parties. The seniors invite the juniors, the juniors the seniors. The sophomores give the freshmen a party early in the year, and later on, invite them to the "Trig" ceremonies (an eccentric performance to signalize their joy at having finished their course in trigonometry, to which the freshmen are still looking forward.) The character of the entertainment is burlesque. Mathematical signs and terms are personified, and good-natured ridicule showered on "classmates," objectional college institutions, and even the "faculty" itself. There are occasional nigger minstrel performances, with peanuts, apples, maple sugar, and lemonade for refreshments; also dancing in the college parlors, and sometimes "powder" and costume balls—of course confined to the inmates of the house.
Oratorical Meeting.
The meeting of the Oratorical Association last Friday, at the end of the fourth hour was well attended by all parties interested in oratorical work. Some of the students fearing a collision, had invited a committee of the faculty to be present. Accordingly Profs. J. H. Canfield and Marsh were in attendance. Prof. Canfield as spokesman of the committee said that they wanted every thing done "on the square" and would proceed to "call balls" as is done on the "diamond" and that when three balls were called, the meeting would stand adjourned. The meeting was rather interesting but only a few of the boys "lost their temper," or perhaps found it. The first "ball" was called when a disturbance was raised over the right to secretaryship. The Professor was loudly applauded and for a short time good feeling reigned supreme. The second and third balls were called in close succession and the meeting was adjourned. After the second call, the secretary's book was brought to light and Prof. Canfield chosen secretary, and the precious book (the immediate cause of all the disputes) was left and is still in the possession of the Professor, and is doubtless in safe heeping. No business was accomplished and the meeting adjourned indefinitely.
K. S. U. Republican Club.
Tuesday evening the Young Men's Republican Club of the University, held its regular meeting. The following program was rendered:
Oration. "Influence of J. G. Blaine in the present campaign." by W. W. Russ. Speech on the alumni circular sent out by K. S. U. Tariff Reform Club, by C. E. Street.
Oration, "Foreign Emigration," by W. S. Smith.
At the request of the Republicans of the city, the Club made arrangements to march in the procession Monday evening. They also made arrangements to attend the Kansas City Republican rally in a body.

The following little dialogue between two charcoal artists was overheard in the drawing room not long ago.
Mr. Charcoal Artist.: Yes.
Miss C. A.: You're a Phi gam, aint you?
Miss Charcoal Artist: Your name is Mr. C—A, aint it?
Mr. C.A.: Yes.
Miss C. A.: I thought I saw you at one of the Phi Gam parties, was 'nst you?
Mr. C. A.: Yes. (looking around for assistance.)
Miss C. A.: Learned to dance yet?
Mr. C. A.: No.
Miss C. A. : I have, I'm improving——I didn't know who you were at first, but as soon as I saw you smile I knew you were Mr. C. A.
Mr. C. A. Why—y no.
——Got any photos?
Mr. C. A.: (looking frightened) Yes.
Miss C. A.: Give me one, won't you?
A. Why no.
Miss C. A. I'll tell you what I'll do, if you give me one of yours, I'll give you one of mine, won't you?
Mr. C. A. (Indespair) yes.
Miss C. A. Do you like Mr. A.
Mr. C. A. Yes.
Mr. C. A. Yes.
Miss C. A. He's nice but awful queer
ain't he?
Miss C. A. He says he don't like me, I'm so queer. Do you think I'm queer. Here we rung off.
Several students in English listened to Prof. Marsh's paper on Keats at the Unity Club last Friday evening.
In another column will be found an advertisement of the National Book Exchange. The agent in Lawrence is Mr. Wm. Hill, a young man that has just entered the University. Mr. Hill desires to obtain at least one hundred members to the exchange. If he does this, and the flattering success that he has already met with gives evidence that the number will exceed that. He will have a regular day in each week on which he will order the books, so that a member may thus supply himself with any books he may need, without the trouble of having to order it himself. As soon as a few more members are obtained Mr. Hill will keep in stock, blank books of all kinds at a great reduction of prices. He will now order blank books for members at the following rates: A blank book that costs you 10c. at the book store he will give you for 6c. One that sells for 5c., he will give you for 3c. The membership fee is very small, being only one dollar per year. By a consultation of some of the comparative prices, it will be seen that this amount may often be saved on one book. This is a chance all the students should avail themselves of while they may. If you want to know how it works ask some of the members who have a membership. Several have more than saved the price of their membership on books during the present week

A good text for those who are users of books, but not book-lovers, is a saying of Milton: "As good almost kill a man as kill a good book; who kills a man kills a reasonable creature. God's image; but he who destroys a good book kills reason itself."
The following from the Kansas City Star is supposed to refer to Abe Levy: "The experiment at Lawrence on the part of the government to educate the Indian has proved a source of enormous financial aggrandizement to the venders of silk handkerchiefs at that place."
The University Young Men's Republican Club, about 80 strong, took part in the Republican parade last Tuesday evening. Politics seem to interest several of the students. The excursions to Kansas City, Wyandotte and Leavenworth attracted several of the more enthusiastic young politicians.
One of the K. S. U. members of the Academy of Science got very much excited because a Leavenworth paper got him mixed up with a man from somewhere else and referred to Prof. So and so, of Lawrence, visiting his brother at the penitentiary. These little things are what makes life worth living.
A number of Baker girls "come to town" Monday "to hear the speakin." They visited the University and viewed the skeleton of the megathermum In Snow Hall. After looking in wonder at the massive pile and examining the rich luxuriance of its jaw one of the girls after changing sides with her gum spoke up: "Law me, girls how that brute do remind me of Phil Campbell."
The formal and official changing of the name of I. C. Sorosis from I. C. to Pi Beta Phi recently, is transformation in nomenclative parrell to that which little Sue Smith under goes after doning her first 'long dress' and becoming Miss Susan E. Smythe. An I. C. 'Grub' have often been fraught with pleasant memories and many of the Pi Beta Phi repasts of the future be as happy.
One of the chief subjects discussed at the Leavenworth meeting last week was the Geological survey of Kansas. There seemed to be a diversity of opinion as to the location of the headquarters of the survey. Some think that it should be under the charge of the professors of Geology in the University, while other members of the Kansas Academy of Science think it ought to be under the charge of a commissioner.

GOV. HUMPHREY.
When the polls were closed Tuesday evening the votes had been cast which said that Lyman U. Humphrey, of Independence, should sit in the executive chair of Kansas for the next two years. His election should be a source of gratification to all friends not only of K. S. U. but of higher education everywhere. A college-bred man himself; cultured, brave and progressive, no one can doubt, but that he will be an honor to the State. He comes to his office not through the efforts of any class or clique but as a man upon his manhood. He will be a living refutation of the popular prejudice that college men are weak, unstable and impracticable. He stands in Kansas to-day as a witness that a college education trains and strengthens and that worth and manhood, not circumstance and political trickery, win the laurels in Kansas Gov. Humphrey is, perhaps, one of the best symbols of the intelligence and integrity of the State; for what better indicates the sentiment of a community than the charactet of those whom it delights to honor; its representative men.
The University, too, may re joice at Mr. Humphrey's election. He is our friend, and while the gover nor may have little official business with us and scarcely any hand in the conduct of our affairs still to count him as a "friend of the University" means a great deal; for as an enemy he could do us every possible damage. To the writer this summer Gov. Humphrey expressed the greatest admiration for the institution and the kindest regards for its interests. He inquired about our work and spoke of the remarkably prominent part our alum ni were playing in the State. He mentioned Chas, and Willis Gleed, Δ. C. and Chas. F. Scott, Bion Hutchins, Stocks. Leach, Little, and many others who had come under his notice and said many pleasant things of all of them. The University never had a better friend in the executive chair than Lyman U. Humphrey.
A NEW IDEA.
The Times is glad to submit the following from the Atlantic monthly upon the subject of economy in college work. The article is an extract from a very interesting paper by John Trowbridge in the November Atlantic and contains many things which K. S. U. students should think of.
"Some years ago a one-study college was established west of the Mississippi. Its cardinal principal consisted in taking one subject at a time, and in finishing it before taking up another. We are tempted, living in the shade of an old university, to laugh at his experiment in education, and to point to the experience of many hundred years in universities older than ours as a reason for not following in the track of the one-study college. There is a germ of truth, however, in our experience of actual results of the system now prevalent in our high schools and colleges do not inspire confidence in it.
"It is rare to find a college student who can read a German work on physical science, although he may have taken several German electives during his college course. If the same student had been three months in a German town, he would have been able to make himself understood, to understand others, and to read a German newspaper. It is true that in the latter case he is in a German country, and conditions are favorable for his getting a command of the language; but he will tell you that his success comes from breathing and eating in a German atmosphere. There is not a moment in the day in which he has been reminded of a German man. He has become an intense specialist in German; moreover, he can depend upon the atmosphere of his environment, but he must supplement it by assiduous study with a competent teacher. Now if the same man had taken up his residence in a frontier town where German is spoken on one side of a river and French on the other, and had undertaken to gain a working knowledge of both languages at the same time in three months or even in a year, we all know how lamentable his failure would have been. It may be said that a University does not propose to give a man a working knowledge of any subject; it merely opens the book of knowledge and shows what there is in it, and how delightful it would be to gain at some future time a sound knowledge of the various subjects there presented."
The excellent manner in which the young ladies are keeping their "pledge" to not rush nor spike until December, deserves the commendation of the students new and old and even of the faculty. The shameless premature rushing of some of the gentlemen's fraternity has been noticed by all and regretted even by those who have been caught by it. No man will regret two or three months of careful consideration before choosing his associates for his college career. The traternity question is not all one sided and by giving the new student time to consider first whether she had best join any fraternity or not and second to make a wise choice and be wisely chosen—in doing this the ladies have taken a step in advance and their brothers can do no better than follow.
THE TIMES has an apology to make its patrons for the amount of space devoted in its last week's edition to the Courier. The apology comes freely and honestly and if we may be allowed to add an explanation—which like all explanations may be superfluous, we will say that the fact of the editor's outside duties having taken his time and attention from the paper each of the associates thought he would make one—just one—reference to the Courier and thus the duplicates came in and were not cut out. The TIMES is a newspuper par excellence and factional fights and editorial sparing have no interest for the general readers so they will be hereafter omitted.
AMONG those who have been sent up to the Legislature from the State this year by the people, probably no one will come up with a kindler feeling than Hon. T. B. Murdock, of Eldorado, who represents Butler county in the Senate. Mr. Murdock is a newspaper man who has a State reputation, as a clear, foreville writer with views of his own and manliness enough to defend them. He is a Republican clear to the bone and hence is a friend to all progress, and will always be found upon the right side of every question relative to the advance of higher education in Kausas. The State University will have no better friend in the upper house than Mr. Murdock.
THE election of Col. J. K. Rankin to the House of Representatives, Tuesday, gives K. S. U. another reason to be pleased with the "way things went." Mr. Rankin being a citizen of Lawrence, knows the wants of our institution and having an extended acquaintance among the public men of the State, will have influence in being able to secure measures which will supply their wants. K. S. U. Republicans did well in mustering out their forces for Mr. Rankin.

Joiut Discussion.
A. O. U. W. hall was crowded to its fullest capacity last Saturday evening to hear the joint discussion between K. S. U. Republican Club and the Tariff Reform Club.
President Horton called the meeting to order and announced the question for discussion.
Resolved, That the protective tariff does not benefit the American farmer. It was ably argued on both sides, and many good points made. The affirmative being supported by G. W. Harrington and L. A. Stebbins. The Negative by F. E. Reed and E. E. Squires.
The argument for the affirmative was that the tariff increases the price of every thing the farmer consumes, while it does not increase the price of anything he has to sell. That he has to compete with other laborers in the market of the world and receives no protection.
The negative claimed that while it might somewhat increase the price of articles he consumed, a protective tariff furnished him a home market for his produce, and lessened his competition.
The Political Science Club had a very successful meeting last Friday evening, quite a number of visitors and the majority of the members of the club were present. J. O. Worden opened the program with an interesting account of the affairs and happenings of our State, both in politics and in finance. S. A. Harvey presented a well prepared paper on Finance and Industry. Prof. J. H. Canfield made a few remarks on Foreign Events and Diplomacy. He read the Lord Sackville-wave communication and discussed their bearing on and relations with the national government. A L. Burney won a reputation as a student of the Tariff question by the excellent manner in which he presented to the club the results of The Australian Tariff Experiment. Miss Reasoner favored the club with an excellent and pointed paper on Manual Training in Public Schools. F. C. Schroeder closed the program with a brief but pitty discussion of Railroads in their Business Relations. The work of the club is increasing in interest and the club bids fair to surpass its record of last year. All persons interested in Political

W. R. Cone, everybody at K.S. U. knows Cone, was elected County Superintendent of Coffee county last Tuesday on the Republican ticket by a large majority. He ran ahead of his ticket by about 150 votes. The people of that county seem to reward a well qualified young man and K.S. U. is the place to come to qualify yourself for any position. Mr. Cone spent five years at the University, graduating last June with no very high honors as a student but he had the reputation of being a "rustler" and a man who was able to look out for himself. He earned his way through the University by doing janitor work and by economical living, got along fairly well. This is only one among many of the instances of where the boys that did not have "papa's bank" to call on, are coming to the front." The Times extends congratulations to W. R. Cone and wishes him success. "I told you so."
The Oratorical Association hold and informal meeting to-day at 2 o'clock in Professor Canfield's room. Professors Canfield and Marsh of the arbitration committee were present and presented several plans of arbitration. Both factions declared themselves in favor of arbitration, but could not mutually settle on the manner of procedure. After a prolonged discussion of several methods of procedure for the arbitration committee, the meeting adjourned until 2 p.m., to-day.

Kansas Alpha Phi Delta Theta held a jollification meeting in their rooms last evening over the election of Gen. Harrison to the Presidency of the United States. General Harrison is a member of that fraternity and the boys are very happy over his election. They appeared in the halls this morning with Harrison badges gracefully wrapped in the fraternity colors. They sent the following telegram to the President elect:
Kansas sends you 70,000 majority and Kansas Alpha Phi Delta Theta sends you its hearty congratulations.

"How are you getting along with the experimental farm?" asked a member of the board of regents of a western agricultural college of the president of the institution. "First-rate," replied the president. "Wheat all billed up and calves taught to drink sour milk. I'm having trouble with some of the students, however. They claim that it is too hard work for them to dig the great holes necessary in planting pumpkins." "Fire'em out, professor, fire'em out!" returned the regent. "If they kick on that, what will they do next fall when they have to dig the pumpkins, with fifteen or twenty to a hill."—Hesperian.

The Kansas Academy of Science were very hospitably entertained by the people of Leavenworth. Among the good things offered were, a visit to the Soldiers' Home, a visit to the Fort, and a grand banquet at the National Hotel. The professors of the Pharmacy department did justice to the latter affair.
The mineralogy class went out to Mr. Savage's residence last week at the invitation of Mr. Savage. Prof. Bailey and the class made the visit in order to view Mr. Savage's mineral collection and also to visit the apple orchard. They were especially interested in his fine specimens of "ciderite," of which they made a "gustatory analysis." The University students always enjoy a trip to Mr. Savage's farm.
The chemistry building was almost entirely deserted last Tuesday. The excitement of election being too much for the students.

One of the most enjoyable events in the social circles was the party last Friday evening, given by the members of Beta Theta Pi, twenty-nine couples par-tools of Beta hospitality. Besides the usual tasty appearance of the ball, autumn-tinged forest leaves lent their attractiveness and flowers, their fragrance and beauty to the scene. The "bonny pinks and blue" forming so conspicuous a part of the dresses of several of the young ladies gave an additional charm and was very appropriate for the occasion. About 11 o'clock all went down to I.B. McCormick's restaurant where an elegant supper was served. The repast was made the more enjoyable by music from the Mandolin Club. Supper ended, several Beta songs were sung, after which the company repaired again to the hall. Here, those who could dance kept time to the strains of the mandolin; others, less fortunate, indulged in cards and in social conversation.

Life is real, life is earnest
As perhaps you've heard before.
But it comes with double vigor,
To the searchers after lore.
There is trial, there is trouble,
But we do not care at all,
behind the walls weekly,
Called it "TIMES" and rolled the ball.
Our state ended labor.
We could rest in sweet repose,
But there's other things molesting,
Which the cold world never knows.
Well! the cold world might discover,
What may happen in our clime,
If upon a midnight dreary,
In the midst of winter time.
There should be a sound of voices,
Like the rolling of the deep,
And all the people walking doors,
Because they cannot sleep.
And thinking all the while,
After it has to die,
To rest unknown, removed from fame
Yes! in the church-yard lie.
-N. W. Merrifield.
Below is given the program for the meeting of the Science Club this evening:
Report of Kansas Academy, E. H. S. Barley
The same extravagant but telling logic might be used in reference to the rough treatment of books, especially those which are borrowed, either from individuals or from the public. It is unnecessary to say that the scrupulously honest person will exercise even more care in using the property of others than that belonging to himself, but the thoughtless need to be pinned down to some such rules as the following:
Ice Machines, L. T. Smith
Scientific Methods, W. S. Franklin.
Never use it while eating a luncheon; butter and crumbs will not agree with its constitution.
Never make a pencil-mark on a book which is not your own.
Never touch a book except with fingers scrupulously clean.
Never turn down a leaf.

Philological Club.
The Club met last Friday night in the Greek room. It was decided to spend some of the surplus in the treasury on three new periodicals for the library, a classical, a modern literature, and a general literary periodical. It was decided also to have the meetings of the club alternate hereafter with those of the political Science club.
The first paper of the evening was a review by Prof. Robinson of Burn's recent book on "Roman Literature in relation to Roman Art." The high ideal of the Greek artist in executing a portrait statue or bust was contrasted with the exact resemblance required in Roman art. This indicated the inferiority of Roman art. Mr. Burn's implication, however, that Roman writers were especially fond of making their characters express emotions by means of the features, and that this was a wrong tendency in literature, was considered neither correct in fact nor wrong in tendency. Neither ought the choice of national subjects by Roman writers and sculptors to be regarded as wrong, nor the cause of imperfections in their art. The real cause was much more radical. The Romans had very little, if any, real art spirit. The sense of artistic proportion and arrangement was strangely wanting. This was shown by reference to many authors and ill-proportioned statues and other works of art. How the early simplicity of Greco-Roman art was complicated and destroyed by such external influences as world-wide sway, exhorbitant wealth, and luxurious refinement was also shown by citing many instances of the degeneracy of both literature and sculpture. The luxury and self-indulgence of the imperial times was shown in the fondness for smoothness and technical finish, caused or accompanied by an inability to appreciate high ideals. This is seen both in literature and sculpture. In architecture the Romans often did grand work, but generally ruined the artistic effect by attaching to their noblest structures a variety of Greek ornaments without architectural meaning. Mr. Burn's book is a good illustration of one of the Roman faults. It is good in parts, but lacks artistic proportion.
Prof. Wilcox then spoke of a new History of Greece, that of Evelyn Abbott, a work half-way between, and combining many of the merits of, the manual and the scholar's history. While giving authorities, it gains much space for text by omitting the long notes which show the processes by which conclusions are reached. It shows acquaintance with the latest histories and periodical literature. While not touching upon every element that entered into the civilization of the people, it traces that civilization in its main outlines, devoting considerable space to the literature and religious observances, and touching somewhat upon art. The chapters on Homer and Hesiod with reference to history are excellent. The relation of the different movements to the history as a whole is often well shown. One or two volumes of the History are yet to appear.

AMUSEMENTS
A COLD DAY.
At the Court Street Theatre "standing room only" was displayed before 8 o'clock. The occasion was the first production of Fisher's comedy, "A Cold Day or the Laplanders," in Buffalo. To say that "A Cold Day" is funny would not express enough. It is by far the most laughable absurdity every seen here, with just enough plot to make it interesting. The company is, without exception, first-class, and especially must be mentioned Mr. John J. Lessenger, who, in the character of Jacob Blow, kept the audience busy laughing. Will C. Sampson, as Able Effort, was an able second, and was as funny in his peculiar way. The ladies of the company gave some very fine singing; and it can be safely said that all those who were fortunate enough to witness last night's performance, went home feeling better after enjoying an evening of laughter. Crowded houses will undoubtedly be the rule as long as "A Cold Day" remains at the Court Street Theatre; which will be the entire week, with usual matinees.—Buffalo Times.

A graduate of the University, who has taken the course in Didactics, is given a State certificate, providing he has had two years experience in school teaching. The State Normal has often tried, but tried in vain to monopolize the right of granting certificates to graduates, and by so doing be a more popular institution.

ATHLETICS.
Some of the students are again agitating the question of athletics. While we heartily approve of the move ment and give it our hearty support, we hold to the belief that a large part of our students already receive a sufficient amount of exercise. In proof of this assertion we submit the following: All work on Hygiene hold that the best and most healthful exercise is walking. If this be true a sufficient amount of walking is all the exercise a student needs Some one may say that students cannot be induced to take exercise by walking But most of them do. Any morning go out into the hall, station yourself where you can not be seen and wait. As soon as the crowd begins to leave the corridors you will see a procession begin marching very slowly, it is true, but a continual tramp for an hour, from one end of the hall to the other. The next hour it is the same. At 1 o'clock you will see a timid boy take his hat and start out, he forgets something and must come back. He then spends several minutes looking through his pockets and trying to think what he has lost. At last she appears; he has found what he is looking for. He then starts out again. She is joined by another girl. He has lost something again. He then allows her to get a good distance ahead of him and waits patiently for the girls to separate. As soon as this occurs he quickens his pace and soon overtakes her. He has captured the prize at last. He now enjoys a few moments for a chat, he then takes his leave. he looks at his watch. 1:45 p.m. Great Scott! he is three-quarters of an hour behind time. He then sets out on a run and arrives at his boarding house panting and out of breath. Then inco
herent expressions about the distance to Topeka or Lecompton, he eats his dinner. If approached on the subject of athletics he will invariably be of the opinion that K. S. U. students have too much exercise.
N. B. This is written from the utterances while asleep of one of the above mentioned athletics.
AS TO DEBATES.
In the campaign just closed, the revision of the tariff was made, as every one knows, the great issue. Debates were held in every town and district through out the land, and this question argues pro and con, yet most of the debates, not all of them, have been declared un satisfactory by those who were really searching for knowledge on that intricate subject. The reason is not hard to find, Party victory or personal victory at any cost, seems to have been the leading impulse in nearly every case; protectionists accused the tariff reformers of dodging the question, and tariff reformers on their side, accused the protectionists of insincerity. Each side made statements, which were as plain to be seen as the end of a man's nose, until at last a person became undecided as to which was the perfect fool. We clip the following from a Chicago paper which we think, takes the right stand in regard to debates and discussions. It is certainly an article which deserves more than passing thought:
"In this day of much discussion on the Tariff we see, on both sides, ten men who are convinced to one man who is convincing. A discussion, if it does nothing else, should at least leave both parties to it more open, more tolerant, more in love with light and with each other; but in politics and in religion how many of us can come out of a talk in that spirit? It would be a good plan to pin upon one's mental walls some "Golden Rules in Making up one's Mind,"—like these, for instance:
1. Be humble before the largeness of a subject.
2. Be honest in confessing ignorance.
3. Hold the truth always above the present issue.
4. Never argue for personal victory.
5. Wish to see objections to your view.
6. Be willing to be overthrown in argument.
Still better, pin up these words from Emerson: "Courage to ask questions; courage to expose our ignorance. The great gain is, not to shine, not to conquer your companion,—then you learn nothing but conceit,—but to find a companion who knows what you do not; to tilt with him and be overthrown, horse and foot, with utter destruction of all your logic and learning. There is a defeat that is useful. Then you can see the real and the counterfeit, and will never accept the counterfeit again. You will adopt the art of war that has defeated you. You will ride to battle horsed on the very logic which you found irresistible. You will accept the fertile truth, instead of the customary lie."
The following is a special in the Kansas City Journal of Nov. 6, from Rich Hill. Mo:
"The campaign closed in this county to-night with a grand rally at the mines, which was addressed by Hon. Webster Davis of Kansas City. The most pronounced enthusiasm prevailed, and the points of the speaker, which were numerous and convincing, were well relied upon, no doubt, but that if Mr. Davis could have made speeches in this county the Democratic party would have been a thing of the past. No speaker has ever created so much favorable comment."
Mr. Davis was a University student of 1884-5 and will be remembered as taking a prominent part in "Old Orophilion." Thus another of her sons takes his place as an orator in the cold, cold world. Mr. Davis is now a rising young attorney of Kansas City. It might be mentioned that he may be found once every month banqueting at the Brunswick with the Betas.

OUR CONTEST.
Association or no association, charter or no charter, arbitration or arbitration, faction or no faction, let K. S. U. have this winter a grand oratorial contest.
Letus send to Emporia this winter a man—or lady—who can win the U. State Contest the fourth time for K. S. U. We have already taken the prize three times out of five. There is no reason why we cannot hear away the olive branch every year. Our institution, our training, the number we have to select from, in fact, in almost everything we have an advantage over our sister colleges.
Now is the time for University spirit to manifest itself. Here is the place and now is the time for us all to pull together.
Shall we let Baker, who gloated so friendily over the defeat of Kansas in the Inter-State, shall we let her distance us in this race?
Then we must be up and doing. We must have a good local contest. If we can pursue every good speaker in the University to at least try, in the local contest, our success at Emporia next February is assured.
Did you ever write a composition on "Spring"? Did you ever write a thesis or forensic? Did you ever speak before your school at home? Well, if you have, begin to day and write an oration for our January contest. And even if not successful you have gained a good deal. So choose your subject and go to work.
Remember it is a free for all race and the best horse wins. The track is broad and the premiums liberal. So if you have one drop of enthusiasm in your blood for old K. S. U., go to work, talk it up, and then when the days of February come, we will again have an opportunity to show our neighbors—Baker, Ottawa, Washburn and Emporia—that we still have good lungs and can yell with greater vengeance than ever—Rock-chalk Jay Hawk- K-U.
Much of the prejudice against inter collegiate contests is due to the fact that they are said to be detrimental to good scholarship. In order to discover the real state of the case in Cornell University, a thorough examination was recently made in that institution of the records
of the men who engaged in intercollegiate sports since the opening of the college. The result showed that the average scholarship for the year of each man who rowed on the crews was 70 per cent, that of base-ball players 73 per cent., and that of the track athletics 76 per cent., a standard of 70 per cent, being necessary to graduate. 54 per cent. of all these men graduated, which is 7 per cent. above the University per cent. of graduation. These results would seem to show that intercollegiate contests, when kept within reasonable limits, do not interfere with the general scholarship of educational institutions. —Ex.

Kansas has out striped her older sisters in many different ways. The history of the development of her natural resources and the increase of her population has no parallel in the history of any state in this Union.
The growth of her towns have been phenomenal. To think of the thousands of miles of railroads built within her borders during the last few years, almost startles one.
We need have no fear for the position Kansas will occupy in this union when her material resources, wealth, population and business enterprise, is called into account.
But we would like to call the attention of our readers, and indeed of all admirers of a free educational system, to the fact that Kansas will soon be eclipsed in the struggle to educate the masses, if she does not take more active measures for the advancement and permanent welfare of the system.
We are not saying that Kansas has not reached an advanced stage of educational development, but we do say that the critical moment is at hand when Kansas must make redoubled efforts for the support of a fine educational system, or be content to remain behind in the race.
Now is the time to strike. And the next Legislature should be made to feel that they are not doing their full duty to the people, without making farther permanent arrangements for the support of free education; from the primary school to the University.
The last Legislature of California realized on what an uncertain footing the State University was situated, while compelled to draw its support from the bianual appropriations of that body so they passed a law giving the State University the proceeds of an annual tax of one cent upon each one hundred dollars of taxable property in the State. This means $82,000 for the present year and an annual increase of the income, in proportion to the increase of wealth in the State.
By this method there is no danger that the progress of the educational institutions of the State will fall behind the annual advancement of wealth in the State.
Then too, the public schools of the State should be made to feel that they are a training school for the University. They should be made to feel that the University is prosperous, just in proportion as they turn out the sons and daughters of Kaucas with minds well equipped to proceed with the task of obtaining a higher education. Every community of a certain population should be compelled to maintain a higher school competent to give its scholars a rudimentary education, so that they can at least enter the Freshman class of a standard University. With schools of this description situated in every village and hamlet in the State, those who did not wish to or can not obtain a higher education will be equipped sufficiently to enter the everyday walks of life.
THE Shield of Phi Kappa Psi contains an article on rushing and initiating men prematurely which, it read and acted on might be of benefit to at least one K. S. U. fraternity. The system of rushing is bad at best, and should be discouraged. The proper way, it seems to us, would be to leave a man alone until he has gotten acquainted with all, and then he will be competent to decide where he belongs. The only reason that we can see that any fraternity could object to this plan, is, it is afraid to stand on its merits, and wishes to rush a lot of men in before they get acquainted with men of other fraternities, or, in many cases, before they know the real nature of a fraternity.
As the time of the next session of the Legislature comes nearer, the University must begin to be looking after her interests. Through some over-sight, some of the departments of the University have not fared as well as others, although none have been especially favored. The Law department has been rather neglected by the State Legislators. The University Law library does not deserve the name of a library. Nearly all the books in the Law library are the private property of Professors Green and Summerfield. Mr. Hobbs and a few other students. The students are compelled to thrust themselves upon the good nature and accommodations of the attorneys of the city. Instead of being able to get some benefit of the much promised Law library of the Kansas State University, the students must depend on the private libraries of Lawrence. Again, the department is cooped up in a little side-room which is used as a class room, a court room and a library. Prof. Green is one of the best instructors in the west and it is due to himself and the Legal Profession of the State that the department receive better treatment at the hands of the Legislature. The Law department has a wide reputation and with "half a show" will rival Ann Harbor, Harvard or even Columbia colleges. K. S. U. has every reason to be proud of her Law Alumni and of the class of students in the department at present, but surely they can not be proud of the almost utter neglect of the department, which is, in the future, to supply the material for the leading profession of the country.
Some students who come here from other institutions seem to have a little trouble about having grades transferred. One thing that seems unreasonable, yet it is true, is that a professor of one department will accept grades from a certain institution, while a professor in another department will no taccept grades from the same institution. Consequently the student must be made a "target" and have questions "shot" at him for a few hours in some particular study to gratify the love of adventure of some of the professors. It might be more creditable to the workings of the institutions if there was some regularity about admitting students to the University. It is not entirely clear to the minds of many students why the preparatory work in some departments is more important than in others. A KICKER.
THERE may be nothing in a name, but the Times always gets out on time.
Prof. Marvin received $1,200 worth of instruments for the civil engineering department last Thursday. The instruments were manufactured by the famous Fauth & Co., of Washington, D.C. Among the instruments was an Alt-Azimuth, which cost $850, and is to be used in either secondary or primary triangulation, or as an astronomical instrument. This instrument is considered a fine one, and has all the latest improvements. It has two micrometer eyepieces by which an angle can be read to single seconds, an eight inch verticle are read by two verniers to ten seconds, has an eighteen inch telescope with a two inch aperture, a micrometer eyepiece and an angular eyepiece to be used for astronomical purposes. The instrument is a mate to the one made last summer by the same firm for Columbia College.
The Professor also received a $350 Transit Theodolite, a smaller instrument and to be used in secondary triangulation. It has an eight inch horizontal circle, reading to ten seconds, a five inch verticle circle, an eleven inch telescope with a one and one-half inch aperture. A $25 Steinhilottorope to be used in giving signals at a long distance was among the list. These additional instruments partially fill a long felt want and they will very materially assist the students of the higher classes in pursuing the mare complicated studies in engineering.

"PETE" BAKER.
Pete Baker, the well known comedian, supported by an excellent company, delighted large audiences yesterday afternoon and last night with his comedy, "The Emigrant." The scenery was good and the dressing of the company was an especial feature. Baker as Ludwig von Vinkleistinnausbauer, the Emigrant, was funny enough to make people's sides ache. The tableaux, 'The Mill on Fire,' 'Capture of the Gamblers,' 'A Dark Surprise,' and 'Villiany Unmasked,' almost set the gallery wild with delight.—Pittsburg Post.

"Will gymnastics enable you to study any better?"
An extra good program is prepared for the meeting. Every Ovornibill should be present. A special invitation is extended to the public in general.
"How do you know?"
"I've tried it."
"Yes."
"In wat way does it help you?"
"It stretches muscles that would otherwise fall into *Innocuous Desucture*, vitalizes nerves that were sleepy, arouses circulation, forces air into the lungs and fills one with grit for study; and in general, increases his executive capacity."
"Can the students of K. S. U. afford a gymnasium?"
'Yes, $75 will give them a fine start.'
'Can we begin with less than $700?'
"Yes, we can begin with $400."
"How many students will contribute? "
"Oh. we will not exclude any one. All can join."
Students talk this up. Let us 'dupe' (do up) this project in a manner becoming to K. S. U. students.

Prof. W. H. Carrath is now quite at home in the misty regions of fogs and learning. He is busy with his studies, and daily making pleasant acquaintances among Professors and students. It is with pleasure that the Professor has noted the earnest character of the students at Harvard.
At the request of the faculty, the Annual Opening Address delivered on Sept. 7, 1888, by Hon. Geo. R. Peck, of Topeka, on "Higher Education, its aims and its results," has been published and copies are being sent out to the friends of the University and to persons interested in the work done here. Any one that has heard Mr. Peck or knows of him, can not but know that the address was very interesting and instructive. Mr. Peck is noted for his eloquence and sound thought. He has thrown his whole soul and influence into the advancement of educational interests and K. S. U. may well be proud to call him her friend and warm supporter.
At the meeting of the Telegraph Club last Tuesday, it was decided to put in a metallic circuit, that is, have two lines which complete a circuit. In case one line is down, perhaps "the other will not be in working order." The limit of the membership has been reached, twenty-five, and now no one "need apply" for admission. There are seven professors or assistants in the club, the remainder being students and people of the city. A wire will soon be connected with the telephone exchange. A public station has been established at Hayne's jewelry store for the use of members of the club. This club offers practical experience to its members, and also both offers convenience of communication and opportunities for experiments.
Rev. Dr. Frank B. Gomewell paid a visit to Chancellor Lippincott this week. Dr. Gomewell was graduated from Dickinson College with the class of '81. After graduation he went immediately as missionary to China. For three years he was connected with the North China mission with headquarters at Pekin. In 1884 he was transferred to the West China mission on the Yangtse Klang river, sixteen hundred miles from its mouth. He was superintendent of this latter mission until it was broken up in the spring of 1886 by the great cry against foreigners. He was then given leave of absence to visit America. He expects to return to China in February.

At the Opera House Thursday night.
At the meeting of the Board of Regents this week it was decidedupon, what appropriations should be asked for from the Legislature. The Regents are desirous of having the wants of K. S. U. supplied, first that the library facilities should be increased, both in additions to the number and also to the salaries of the members of the faculty, and third, that the apparatus necessary for assistance in instruction is inadequate and should be largely increased. Of course the amount of our future prosperity and happiness as an institution of learning depends largely upon'he liberality of the Legislature, but the Regents are going to do all in their power to bring about a good result.
The following program will be rendered to-night, at the Political Science Club. All interested in this work are cordially invited to attend.

Papers were extensively circulated among the students last Friday in order to ascertain the general feeling in regard to a college gymnasium. A good many promised to co-operate, provided that the terms were reasonable, and the benefit would justify the expense. It is certainly gratifying to see a movement in this direction. The students have long needed a gymnasium, and have waited in vain for an appropriation, until they have determined to push the matter themselves.
Some new apatitus for microscopic work in animal histology has been received for Snow Hall, including a Reeves water-bath. This is used for the purpose of preparing animal tissues for section making. Also a Fiddians Illuminator, used for throwing a bright light on the object under the lens of the microscope, was received.
J. D. McLaren cf 86 writes from Baltimore, that he is enjoying his work at Johns Hopkins University. He is taking a course in Chemistry and Biology. The helpfulness and enthusiasm of the professors, and the self-reliance of all students have impressed him very favorably.
Miss Ella C. Frazer, a former University student and more recently principal of the Kingman High School, has been elected Superintendent of Kingman county. She has won this position by her earnest and faithful work in the public school system.
The Union Scout.
Last evening the "Union Scout" was presented to a very good audience at Bowersock's Opera House, for the first time.
This is a brilliant drama portraying all the different phases of soldier life during the last war. One of the most interesting features of the evening was the grand tableaux at the end of each act.
The play is rendered entirely by home talent, with the exception of Mr. J. W. Clemson, who played the part of the loyal Dutchman.
On the whole the "Union Scout" was very well played. Especial mention should be made of the acting of Mr. Abe Levy in the character of "Tom," the Georgia coon. Mr John Zerby as the "Union Scout," and Mrs. Chas. Gould as Mable Cobb.
The play will be presented to night and to-morrow night. We bespeak a large house for the play the last two nights, as it is instructive, soul stirring and patriotic.
The proceeds go to the Union Charity and the G. A. R. Post of North Lawrence.

The present Geology class, which has just begun work this half term, has the largest enrollment of any class in Geology ever in the University. It consists of twenty-three members and it must not be forgotten that Geology is an optional study.
The Betas stood before election, eleven for Harrison and eleven for Cleveland. An oyster supper was accordingly served at the expense of the Democratic portion, last Friday night. But in serving up the dishes Caterer Harris forgot to put any oysters in on the Republican side of the table. For further particulars, see Morris, Reed, et al.
Judge West, again has kindly placed the Kansas City Daily Journal in the readingroom for the accommodation of the students. This additional daily paper, affords an opportunity to the students to have a knowledge of the general happenings, and all connected with the University, both students and professors highly appreciate Judge West's kindness.
Prof. F. H. Snow, in response to an invitation, left yesterday for McPherson, where he delivered a lecture last evening before the McPherson County Farmers Institute on 'Injurious Insects, and how to Destroy them.' Prof. Snow has not only a reputation among the scientists of the State but he is also considered by the farmers as "authority" on questions relating to Natural History.
We do not doubt that the faculty will arrange to give rooms for the students gymnasium. We understand that each student will own his dumb-bells, Indian clubs, etc., and he should add to his paraphernalia $ \frac{1}{4} $ oz. bottle Arnicated extract
Witch Hazel, 1 package of Court Plaster, 1 bottle Vassline or Fostilla and any other lotion that he may need. Raymond & Dick will endeavor to supply the demand.
MEMORY OF INSECTS
A Well-Authenticated Case Reported by a Notated Naturalist.
A valuable contribution to natural science has been made by Prof. Edward Hoffer, in the discovery of a remarkable power of memory in the bumblebee. The little creature has evidently a strong sense of locality, comparable to that of the carrier-pigeon.
The professor removed a nest containing numerous bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) from its original location, and carried it to his residence, about three miles distant. He further carefully watched the place for some time, after having captured all the bees who had flown to the defense of the nest, and secured, it was believed, the entire colony.
These he imprisoned for several hours in a wide-mouthed bottle, and safely reunited them in their new home. At his house he placed the nest, with its inhabitants, near a window, and after the latter had been quieted, made a small entrance. Immediately the bees began to fly out, and in doing so must have observed their surroundings, for in a short time they one by one returned.
The following night, however, there was a severe storm; and while the inhabitants of other colonies of bees near it, that had become accustomed to their surroundings, were not in the least troubled, these bees escaped and hid themselves somewhere without during the storm. Upon searching for them early the next morning, the queen was found dead upon the ground, while fifty or sixty of the workers were seen flying about the house.
From time to time one or another—probably those which had flown out of the entrance the day before—found the opening and returned into the nests; while the remainder, after flying about for several hours, gradually disappeared till not one was left. As it was supposed that they had in all probability returned to their previous nest, the place was visited in the afternoon, where at least fifty of them were found.
They had thus, it will be seen, distinctly remembered it, and after they had sought in vain to find entrance to their new home, they had depended on their wonderful sense of locality and returned thither. —Chicago Advance.

The citizens of that city have subscribed $10,000 to be used in entertaining the teachers. Four thousand new members to the association have been pledged from the southern States alone. This organization is fast becoming, and is already one of the greatest organizations in the world. An organization of a membership of nearly twenty thousand, consisting of the leading educators of America, can not help commanding respect and being a great power in promoting educational interests.

SOME DIFFERENCE.
Saturday evening in a down town real estate office two University students and two former University students were chattering away about one thing and another when the conversation drifted into the late oratorical muddle. The two younger members of the party were telling about what a thrilling time it was and how "if it hadn't been for Marsh and Canfield there'd been a scrap sure as you're a foot high." The older boys—for they were boys for the time—remained silent through it all and then one of them said "Pretty tame up here now, aln't it, Frank?" One remark led to another and finally it set in to rain reminiscences and made an evening of it. They told yarns of long ago until it seemed like a series of veritable college "Arabian Nights." The first story was about "The Duel." It seems that long ago just how long this affiant sayeth not there was a company of University Cadets. They had an election and one of the boys became dissatisfied with the reult and, like Achilles, sulked in his ten and refused to go to drill. The captain sent a guard after him but that had no effect. Then the captain—possibly it was some other officer, memories are not all ways perfect—the captain went for him. The captain met the deserter in the chapel, ordered him to drill. Achilles refused, Agememnon drew his sword—hwas in full uniform—and went for him The other fellow had a big stout Ceutenial club and warded off the blows of the sword with that and after a long and exiting fight, in the chapel, mind you, finally disarmed the swordsman. But the company weren't going to give up the man that easy. An evening or so after the offender was to appear as Orator fc Orophillan in some sort of a doings The cadets got together that night, took thre
rounds of cartridges and put their bayonets on their guns and marched up to the University to take their man as he stepped off the platform. They stationed patrols at all the stairways and were just about ready to make the attack when, to use the expression of the narrator,"Scott Hopkins nerve failed" and they sneaked out. Scott Hopkins was the leader of the cadets. Will Stevens, now a prominent lawyer in the State and a thoroughly respected man, was the "Achilles." His friends were armed to the teeth and it is a good thing that "Scott Hopkins nerve failed," or there would have been blood.
At another time the Senior Class hada tree to plant and had dug a great hole in the south part of the campus to receive it. Some of the boys stole the tree and all the shovels, hid them over the furnace which was then in the main building. The class filed out with uncovered heads at the appointed hour and lot their tree was not. They sent and got other shovels and dispatched two of their number over the hill for a new tree. Pretty soon the boys came in sight carrying the new tree and the Seniors gathered to watch their triumphant approach and let the Preps and Freshmen steal their shovels which were in the Chancellor's office. They filed out again uncovered but found too late that the proceedings had to be stopped for there was nothing with which to throw in the dirt. The next day they brought their shovels and locked them up but a few minute before the exercises were to begin, the janitor who had been detained from going his rounds by the boys, discovered that the hole had been filled up. The faculty brought a lot of the boys up on suspicion and made them pay for digging the hole. Then after a delay of three days the planting went on.
One Hallowe'en the boys got in the building and had a big time. Each professor then had a seat on the rostrum and the boys brought specimens from the Natural History department and put them in the places of the professors. A mannikin dressed in woman's clothes and the skeleton with its arms extended over the back of her chair occupied the seats of a lady member of the faculty and a gentleman who sat next to her, a Pelican adorned another chair, one of the monkeys was pouring over the Bible—looking up family history maybe—and so on. The faculty however cleared the room before chapel time and thought all would be well. However when the Doctor began to conduct the exercises from the Bible he was suddenly seized with symptoms of a bad cold and sneezed so he had to stop. One of the Professors offered to assist him and he too had to stop on account of his sneezing. One after another of the faculty tried to go through with the exercises but failed till one more practical than the rest discovered that the boys had put snuff in the Bible. He closed with a simple but probably not very merciful prayer, and did not touch the Bible.
To turn over the side walks on wet rainy evenings when there was a crowd on the hill, and then for a lot of boys to stand still in the rain with a soaking crowd behind them and cry "Gon on in front. Why don't you go on in front," was no uncommon occurrence; nor was soaping the side walks on lecture night very uncommon.
But now it is different. And we think when the boys get out and yell "Rock Chalk" or paint the side walks or hang a shirt or fight the police that the University is going to the bad. When any one tells you that the class of '84 had grades on an average above 90, or that there was more studying done in "the good old days" than now, don't you believe him. The fact is that K. S. U. is to-day doing more, better, and steadier work than ever before in our history.
No other weekly paper published by K. S. U. students dare make adavults with the business managers of the TIMES regarding circulation in the University. The Times has a larger circulation in K. S. U. than any other weekly paper.

But——?
A REVIVAL.
There is a rising interest in literary work. That loyal feeling which impelled the few who would not let the societies die, is now felt by all, in a general way while fresher impulses with bigger literary aims predominate.
The result of this is a fast growing enthusiasm. We are reminded of a brighter past, long, long ago; and prophetic minds infer that those "good old days" are about to re-appear.
The good will of the professors; the activity of the juniors, seniors, and sophomores; the ambition of the freshmen, 'elementaries,' and 'laws'; all lend new hope for the future of the literary societies.
The evening air, radiant, and beautiful under the electric light, in the University campus; the lighted windows; the open library; the silent halls; are in themselves letters of invitation directed to every University student, inviting him to a free, and pleasant resort.
To this invitation we as students most heartily respond. To neglect it would imply that we are improvident, unambitious, and careless of our highest privileges.
Last Friday evening, in spite of the rattification, two lectures, two festivals, and an opera in the city. Athenaeum Hall was well filled.
We give below the report of the Athen
eum Literary Society.
Professor Blake in his talk gave descriptions of the Scandinavian people, their dress, homes, universities, cities, railroads and canals. He also explained many of their traditions, customs, modes of travel, etc. His reminiscences, delivered in a conversational way, revealed many incidents that ordinary books of travel do not give. The professor gives his remarks a characteristic turn which makes them at once humorous and instructive. In concluding, he related his encounters in a violent storm on the Baltic.
The program as rendered was as follows: Reading, M. McKinnon; Declaration, E. S. Meade; Essay, C. S. Hall; Lecture, Professor Blake; Reading, C. P. Chamman; Declaration, H. Barnes.
The following also were proposed for membership: Messrs. Roberts, Knowlton, Calahan, Spencer, Hall, Blackman, Ellison, Simpson and McKinnon.
The society will meet hereafter every Friday evening. The following named persons were voted into the society: Miss Corbin, Miss Howard, J. E. Renniger, C. F. Humphrey, A. Fullerton, Frank Lutz and Mr. Ross.
THE Hesperian of Nebraska State University is a paper which stands among the first of Western college papers. This standing has been obtained to a considerable extent by the forcible but fair-minded character of its exchange columns. Perhaps no one of its contemporaries has given so important a place to its exchange work. The Courier in its last issue refers to an article in the Hesperian exchange column, and without quoting the note in question proceeds to "make remarks." The Times had thought not to publish the Hesperian's note, but in the light of the Courier's reference to it we feel constrained to print it.
As the Hesperian hoped the Courier, of Kansas University, has declared its position in college politics and certainly in unmistakable terms. But the Courier certainly grows worse and worse. A whole page of a late number was devoted to the reviling of a new paper which has lately made its entrance upon the stage at Lawrence. We desire to say hat in no college paper which we have seen in the past three years—and we have carefully examined a good many—have we met with anything of a character so contemptible and so disgraceful to its editors and the student public which it claims to represent, as the rot printed on that editorial page. The Hesperian cares not whether the Courier or the TIMES represents barbarian or fraternity elements, the fact remains that the Courier's treatment of a contemporary and a next door neighbor is beneath the attention of a man who lays any claim to self respect or a desire to better himself by a college culture. No matter what may be the merits or merits of
the TIMES, the Courier—insignificant as is the place it occupies by its own right—has no grounds for opening its little head in such a manner. The Courier may point with pride to the record of several editors who have been in times past connected with it, but right here its present editor forever bars himself from any just right to be named as an equal of his more or less famous predecessors. The Hesperian does not desire to take the word of the Courier for the character of the TIMES. It further must insist upon repeating its conviction that if the new paper is not fully as good or better than its reiller then indeed must culture in the University of Kansas be at a lamentably low ebb. We desire to see the TIMES live and prosper, and will gladly exchange with it at any time. That the "babies" of the element in the University of Kansas which has no further use for the Courier cannot maintain a college paper we are not ready to admit; that two fraternities monopolize all the journalistic ability in that institution is, really, too absurd for belief by any one who has ever examined the Courier. But no matter what the politics of the Courier, let it show by its printed work that it is worthy the respect of its readers, and the Hesperian will be as ready as ever to accord it an honorable place among its exchanges. In the name of all that the Courier venerates let it end its miserable contention with others who are at feast as good as itself.

We are modest, but when we receive such encouraging compliments as we have received in the past week we cannot help noticing them and feel proud of them. Friday, Nov. 9, many Lawrence people were surprised and the TIME's staff were rejoiced to see the Tribune give space to TIMES editorials, and Saturday Nov. 17, we were again rejoiced to see in the local columns of the Journal a local credited to the TIMES. While it is no unusual occurrence for University papers to copy from the city papers, we have never before heard of the city papers copying an editorial from a University paper. If we are to believe one of the reporters of one of the city papers, one of the University papers gets most of its locals and personals from the University notes of that paper. By the way this is another compliment, for those same University notes are written by a TIMES editor.
THE best equipped gymnasium on earth cannot make a healthy body of students when the recitation rooms are so ill ventilated as they are at present. In the main building there are just two professors who keep their rooms in any kind of a decent condition. Especially in the lower classes is the air vile. The preps will sit thirty or forty in a room for an hour at a time and never think of allowing a window to be opened and when one is opened they will begin to cough, shudder, and look around as if they imagined fresh air was poisonous. The writer knows of an instance last week where two large classes between twenty-five and fifty in each class sat for two hours in a room without a sign of fresh air. There is nothing that stupedes and tires a student so much as vile, chewed over, poisonous gas. Open the windows or close up the shop.
THE University Review has postponed coming out until some time next week in order to have a "Thanksgiving Number." The contents will be novel and interesting. Articles have been solicited from undergraduates in the various Kansas colleges, describing the social intellectual and moral life at these institutions of learning. The State Normal, the State Agricultural College, the College of Emporia, Washburn College, Garfield, Baker and Ottawa Universities will be heard from and the result will be interesting to the Review's many readers. The TIMES will be glad to notice these articles at some length next week.
MR. JAMES NASIUM will soon be enrolled in K. S. U. He has given it out that he will not belong to any frat or clique, but that he will be for K. S. U., first, last and all the time. Hurrah for Jim Nasium.
AN EVENING OF ENGLISH SONG.
Those who were able to resist the attractions last Friday night of church suppers, ratifications, parties, literary societies and clubs, and form one of the select company that gathered at the Congregational Church, enjoyed a treat which they will not soon forget. Prof MacDonald lectured on the history and characteristics of English Song, and Miss Hutchings illustrated the lecture by singing a variety of songs. One could scarcely devise a more agreeable way of getting valuable information about music and musicians. It is a great deal better than homeopathy. For with all the sugar, there are no dilutions and potentialities, but actualities and strong matter. Prof MacDonald cast a rapid glance at earlier songs, and then gave more extended accounts of songs and their writers from Purcell in the 17th century down to the present time. He did not waste any time on the biographies of the writers, but gave us just what was necessary to enable us to see the place of the composer and his songs in the history of the development of song-writing in England. Miss Hutchings sang eight songs, ranging from the simplest to highly florid, beginning with Purcell, and ending with Cowen and Sullivan. All of them Prof. MacDonald considered the best, of their composers'. Every one of them was thoroughly enjoyable. Prof. MacDonald is a clear and painstaking writer and speaker, and Miss Hutchings was very nearly in her best voice Friday night, and sang admirably. The writer attended that night a church supper, the ratification, and a party, and he is sure that he would have missed any of them rather than the "Evening of English Song."
Mr. E. L. Ackley, city editor of the Tribune, will soon enter the Law Department of the University. For two years Mr. Ackley has been connected with the city papers and has labored faithfully and suffered fewer "scoops" than any man connected with Lawrence papers for many years. His treatment of University matters has been unusually satisfactory. He has been careful in dealing with University affairs to be impartial as far as possible and has never represented any student for the sake of an item.

FINE. CUSTOM MADE CLOTHING.
You can buy as good in every respect for one-half the money charged for merchant tailors' Suits and Overcoats. They sell for $45, $50, and up to $75. We only ask $20, $25 and up to $35. Our suits and Overcoats were made in the dull season by the best men tailors. The cloth and trimmings we use in our extra fine Suits and Overcoats are just the same as used by the best custom tailors.
It is no secret that the fine ready-made clothing trade of to-day use more fine goods than the custom tailors. As to fit and style we lead. It is a fact and cannot be denied that the time has come when a man can be well dressed for half what it cost him when he went to his tailor for his outfit. We could easily explain why we can sell at the very low prices we do. First the volume of business, then no risk in misfits, and so on--can't go through the whole list of reasons—but suffice it to say for this time, call and inspect our extra fine clothing made by men tailors at one-half the price charged by custom tailors all over the country. No trouble to show goods. Strictly one-price to all.
We show medium and low priced Suits and Overcoats, all thoroughly made and better for the money than can be found elsewhere in this city.
We also carry a full line of Gentlemens' Fine Furnishings, Hats and Caps at popular prices.
Don't forget our bargain counters.
Our children's department is brimful of Special Bargains.

Address Before the Art Department

ment.
Prof. A. G. Canfield delivered an address last Friday afternoon before the department of Art on "Art and the University." Quite a large number of visitors were present and were well paid for their pains of "climbing up" the hill The Journal of last Sunday morning printed the lecture in full. The address was very interesting as well as instructive and any student who was not fortunate enough to hear it, will be well repaid for his time if he reads it. The Professor spoke of the general disrespect for all subjects that tend toward all higher education, and of course Art is included. The American people as a whole, possess the lack of enthusiasm and of love for the higher culture and attainments. That the failure to love art, leaves our education incomplete and one-sided, that we do not know more of the human spirit unless we have a love for art, that the works of artists stand as monuments of nations and races of men who have long ceased to exist. That the Art Department welds great influence upon civilization and has been and is a great factor in bringing about good results.
The Professor closed his address with: "Somehow we feel, Phillistines though we be, that a State has failed of its crowning grace if it has produced no great art. We hear much said of an American art and of the great American artists, and now in the first years of our second century—we have lived so very long—some are asking whether he will ever appear. And here in Kansas our local pride and ambition are as great for an artist as for the biggest corn and fattest hogs, and the newspapers ask and the people echo: Why should not Kansas produce the great American art? Our towns are as large and perhaps as restlessly alive as those Italian cities in which, in the seething time of the fifteenth century, the great age of painting dawned. Why may not our oil be the home of a great American school of painting? Perhaps it may—perhaps. But of one thing you me be sure. That day will not come as long as you, the representatives of the better knowledge of the people, have no desire to be artists yourselves, as long as you love politics, and money-getting and oratorical elections better than you love the quiet contemplation of a great statue of a great picture. It will not come as long as you send men to make our laws in whom we must be afraid to ask for money for art. It will not come, in short, until the people love and crave that which is beautiful—until they love art. And if you would shorten our waiting for that day, the most helpful thing you can do is to love art yourself."
Chemistry Notes.
Why are the rooms of the chemistry building so cold in the morning?
A. R. Stover left last Saturday for Texarkana, Ark.. where he has accepted a lucrative position as prescription clerk in a leading drug store in that city.
The noble Seniors of the Pharmacy department are engaged in making pepsin from hog's stomachs.
The Senior pharmacists held an interesting meeting last Tuesday. L. W. Snapp was chosen to fill the office of class president vacated by A. R. Stover.
Prof. and Mrs. Sayre entertained the members of the Senior class last Monday evening. A few hours were very pleasantly spent in social pastimes.
The Pharmaceutical society held its regular meeting last Friday afternoon. A very interesting program was rendered. Hilton presented a well prepared paper on "Society work among Pharmacy students." The society meets every Friday afternoon in the lecture room of the chemistry building. The question for discussion this afternoon is. Why should a light-skinned, tall, bony, muscular farmer live longer than a short, stout, dark drug clerk.
Prof. Sayre is mourning the loss of his dog. The death was caused by arsenical (7) poisoning. Professors Bailey and Sayre and Mr. Slosson are making a scientific examination of the exact cause of its sudden death.
The reception tendered the young gentlemen of the class of '89 by the ladies of the class, was held on Tuesday evening, November 20, at the residence of Miss Annie McKinnon, 1409 Massachusetts street.
Senior Class Reception.
The evening was beautiful as the occasion demanded. The handsome parlor, tastefully decorated with chrysanthemums, added cheerfulness to the surroundings.
By 8 o'clock the guests had all arrived only to be received with a royal welcome at the hands of their hospitable entertainers.
The class colors, white and old gold were soon displayed by the members of the class. A vocal solo, by Miss Merrill, appropriately opened the evening's entertainment. After mutual greetings the young gentlemen were ushered into the front parlor to await the surprise that had been prepared for them. The curtains between the parlors were soon drawn aside, and the unexpected appearance of Miss Manley and Frank Reed, as well as their strange department, indicated that a play of some kind was one of the features of the evening. "The Mouse-trap" was then rendered by Miss Manley and Mr. Reed, assisted by Misses Newlin, Eddy, Crotty, Merrill and McKinnon. It still would indicate that it had been selected not only for the interesting features of the play but with special reference to the young gentlemen who were anxiously awaiting developments in the other parlor. The peculiar appropriateness of the play, as well as the excellent bearing of the participants, only added to the interest of its presentation and to the laurels of the young ladies. The young ladies now joined their classmates in social conversation until ten o'clock when supper was served.
Each plate was surmounted with a card bearing a quotation together with a neat souvenir of a mouse-trap of unique design which was much appreciated. The reading of the quotations produced much merriment not only for the merit of the selections but for their individual adaptability.
After the banquet Miss McKinnon, as toast-mistress called upon Miss Crotty to respond to the sentiment, "Our Recording Angel," otherwise known as Prof. Marvin, V. L. Kellogg responded to "Our Graduates." Their success bespeaks many words of hope and cheer for the class of 89. Miss Manley read a class poem that was full of friendly associations.
The class now returned to the parlers where a piano solo by Miss Eddy was much enjoyed. The remainder of the evening was occupied with the singing of college songs which were enthusiastically responded to by all present. The mutual pledges indulged in evinced the hearty good will that entered into the spirit of the songs. The hour of midnight, the appointed time, indicated that the first annual reception ever tendered by the young ladies to the the young gentlemen of any class in the history of the University was at end. The young gentlemen departed with many expressions of thankfulness and praise for the hospitality of their entertainers and the enjoyment of an evening long to be remembered.
The invisible notority of inaugurating such an event and the merited success attending it belonged to the loyal girls of '89.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

Science Club
The number attending the Science Club last Friday night was less than the interest of the program merited. Political enthusiasm was too strong for our president to resist, and Dick Short was chosen chairman pro tem.
Prof. Bailey was first on the program, and gave an account of the recent meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science at Leavenworth, to which the members of the Science Club contributed so much.
The next paper was by L. T. Smith on Ice and Refrigerating Machines. He gave the scientific principles on which all such machines were based and then described the earliest attempts at artificial ice making. Among the first was an invention of Sir William Siemens using chloride of calcium, which was followed by one employing ammonium nitrate. In most of the early machines cold was produced by the expansion of compressed air. This style has been mostly abandoned except in England and the rapid evaporation of some volatile liquid employed instead. Animonia is used in preference to either on account of its cheapness. Mr. Smith gave in detail the construction of the refrigerating machine used in the Swift fresh meat house at Kansas City, illustrated by black board drawings. The animonia gas in that process is driven off in a tall cylinder surrounded by steam pipes. It is then condensed and forced through a half inch pipe into the large pipes which run through the brine tanks. This sudden expansion cools the brine which is then convected through the meat rooms. A saturated solution is again made by the animonia gas, so the process is continued and there is little waste.
Mr. W. S. Franklin gave the method by which physical problems could be solved by mathematical processes. He showed that although basis of all physical knowledge was empirical, the deductions from this foundamental facts could be made absolute by the use of mathematics, and he explained the derivation of the ampere, the ohm, and the volt from a few simple experiments.
The 10 o'clock bell cut off the discussion on this paper.
K. U. Star: The Regents of the Kansas State University were in session at Lawrence two days last week examining the reports of the Chancellor and professors and making estimates of the expenses which the Legislature will be asked to make provision for at its next session. There is a demand for increased library facilities, for needed additions to the apparatus and for generally enlarged facilities in all branches of instruction. These wants have increased with the growth of the University, which now takes high rank among the institutions of learning in the west and which every year exerts a more important influence upon the destinies of Kansas. The University furnishes to every young man and woman in Kansas the means of obtaining a liberal education without going beyond the boundaries of the State, and under conditions which are in the highest degree favorable to students of moderate means. It is certain that the Legislature of Kansas can make no more judicious investment of the public funds than to vote such appiations as are necessary to place this institution upon a footing that will enable it to accomplish the largest possible measure of good.
Students and everybody will do well to call on us and be fitted out in Shirts and Underwear that have been made to order for parties and not taken. You can buy the finest goods for one-third the regular price.

Owing to outside pressure and the lack of time, Mr. L. A. Stebbins has resigned the position as Editor-in-Chief of the TIMES. Mr. Edgar Martindale has been assigned the position and assumes Editorial charge with this issue. The new Editor has no promises to make, except that it shall be his earnest endeavor to make the TIMES in the future, as it has been in the past, the true exponent of the University spirit, and to give it a standing worthy of the leading educational institution of the great State of Kansas. There will be no change in the policy of the TIMES, but it shall continue as heretofore, the representative paper of the students of the University.
SOME COLLEGE QUESTIONS SETTLED WITHIN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS.
As the following editorial from the Chicago Advance, upon the above subject, exactly coincides with our views we take the liberty of publishing it.
"No question is settled till it is settled right. No score of years has been more replete in the debate of college questions than the last score. From these discussions are emerging certain positions or principles which we may be assured are settled for the right.
It has become evident that the intellectual value of a college education is intellectual discipline. The student of the period marked by the election of President Eliot, the retirement of President Woolsey and the election of President Porter, readily recalls that not a few paragraphs in inaugural addresses, review and newspaper articles treated of the relative worth of knowledge and of discipline in college study. At that time the assumption was—though with how much or how little of truth we cannot say—that Harvard represented the side of knowledge—Yale the side of intellectual discipline. The years have made clear that what a man learns in college is as zero, but that the training which a man receives is as infinity. It is hardly exaggeration to say that the president of most colleges would not pass their own examinations for entrance into their Freshman classes; but it would be exagregation and falsehood indeed to say that they were not so well educated as the coming Freshman. We now recognize the mind as an instrument to be fitted for use and not a depot to be crammed with
intellectual provision. The doctrine of materialism in metaphysics is marked by the decline in the belief in mere learning as the chief element in education. The more thoroughly we conceive of the mind as a spiritual entity and as a rational force the more important becomes its training and discipline.
With this elevation of intellectual discipline has occurred a change in opinion as to the value of the different college studies. The elective system is the outgrowth rather of the sense of the differing disciplinary values of college studies than of the desire to gain a knowledge of a certain sort. The discipline of the mathematics is quite distinct from the discipline of the classics. The elective system has thus become a permanent method in the curriculum. The specific form which it may ultimately be made to assume is not plum; election of groups of certain studies may come to be preferred to the election of individual subjects; but the general system has become permanent. And for its promised permanence every friend of the old education as well as of the new should feel gratitude. The advanced age of men entering college and their advanced attainments, in comparison with the age and attainments of those entering college a hundred years ago, make the elective system a necessity for the highest and finest culture. Indeed, the relative age and attainments have now become so great that it is probable the most fundamental change in the system of college education will be the permission to make the last year of the college course the same as the first year of the course of the professional school.
In this period the Seminary method has been adopted by many of the best colleges. This method is well defined and defended in the recent admirable book of Professor Foster of Oberlin. The Seminary is a place, says Professor Foster, "where the beginner may acquire methods and where the advanced student may do work which shall contribute to the sum of human knowledge." First employed by Von Ranke for training professional historians, it has come to be regarded as the best means for the study of history by scholars of the simplest as well as of the most advanced attainments. Originally limited to the historical sciences, and perhaps the more readily applied to them, it is now recognized as of fitting application to the study of every department of human knowledge. It is the laboratory method; it makes the student his own experimenter, guide teacher, under proper supervision. It expels the parrot element. It arouses enthusiasm. It promotes originality of thought. It has—this Seminary method—been one of the chief means contributing to the pre-eminence of the German University. In this country it has been employed much at Johns Hopkins and at Harvard; but it is with each passing year securing for itself a permanent place in other colleges and universities.
The proper and eminent distinction between the college and the University has also become permanent. This distinction is not so much that the one is an institution which gives instruction and examinations in certain subjects leading to the degree of A. B., and that the other gives instruction and examinations in certain studies leading to several degrees, such as M. D., or LL. D. But the proper and eminent distinction is that the college aims at the training of the mind of the student; the University aims at the cultivation of knowledge: the college is primarily concerned with the man; the University with science. Certain colleges which a few years ago seemed ambitious of becoming universities have more recently become content with the doing of college work. It is a wise limitation. Harvard is doing both college and university work, and with great success. But Johns Hopkus University is the only institution which deserves with any considerable degree of eminence the name of university. It is devoting itself rather to the enlargement and the improvement of the field of knowledge than to the culture of the mind.
Within these two decades the great streams of benevolence have begun to flow toward the treasuries of the colleges. When in 1847 Abbott Lawrence gave to Harvard University $80,000 to
found the scientific school bearing his name, it was said to be the largest sum ever given by one man in one sum during his life time to an institution of learning. $50,000! How small seems the sum in view of the magnificent foundations of George Peabody, of Matthew Vassart, of Henry F. Durant and of Senator Stanford, who while yet living gave half millions and millions to endow colleges. How small also, seems the sum in view of the scores upon scores of millions which have been bequeathed to colleges since 1847. The truth is, benevolence to the colleges has become popular with all men. It is a course worthy of popularity. No one can invest either one dollar or a million dollars with a hope more secure that it will do good and not harm so long as time shall last. In the middle ages the church became exceedingly and indeed excessively rich through the death-bed gifts of its members. In modern benevolence the college has supplanted the church. Regret at the supplanting need not be great; for the Christian college—and more colleges deserve and desire the epithet—is as essential to the church as the public school is to a Republican government."
THAT PICTURE AND THIS.
In a paper read before the National Educational Association at its last meeting, Prof. Jones, of the University of California, showed the financial resources of that institution. In the first place there is a State endowment amounting to somesomething over $800,000, then National endowments reachng nearly an equal sum, then private benefactions aggregating over a million dollars, in addition to the buildings and real property of the University amounting to about a million dollars in value, the whole aggregating nearly four millions. Of this, a sum approximating two million dollars is interest bearing, bringing in a fixed amount each year. In addition to this income, the Legislature two years ago passed a law which gives to the University the proceeds of an annual tax of one cent upon each one hundred dollars of value of the taxable property of the State, from which source alone it received this year $82,000, making its total revenue for the year over two hundred thousand dollars.
Laying down this leaflet and turning to the records here at home, we find the aggregate average income of the University of Kansas, for the last two years, from all sources, including the Legislative appropriation, to be somewhat less than $70,000 per annum. And yet when the friends of this institution go before the Legislature and ask for money, there is always some one to stand up and say to them, "Why don't you make a University like that of Michigan or California then we could give you money!"
A VIEW.
It is said that Benjamin Harrison never burns any midnight oil or studies after sunset, and to that fact he attributes his present good health and strong physique Moral—If you wish to be President, don't study at night.
How refreshing, and what joyful tidings will be this bit of news to the unoffending and docile Prep. For lo, these many years, from the time he wore his first boots until he paid his five dollars contingent fee at the State University, he has been taught quite a different story. Many a time his mamma has told him that he would be President some day, and he rather thinks he will, himself.
But many times, in spite of all encouragement, in spite of all his innate talent, and unquenchable longing for fame, there has crept into his young and hopeful mind, a doubt. For in all the little books that he has read, those who have become great, have always gone hungry for many weeks; they generally wear patched pants, and in fact their habiliments were almost always very sacred, ie hol(e)v. They always had a widowed mother and countless brothers and sisters to support, and their first book—which was generally second or third hand—was always bought at the expense of many month's labor. And then when they got that book, how they utterly and remorselessly annihilated it, binding, fly-leaves, and all.
The first thing to do, was to go out in the woods and get a pine knot—for great men and pine knots always grow up in the same neighborhood. Then, when everybody was asleep, they would sneak up in the garret, fire up this old pine knot—which did *knot* make a very good light, to be sure—and lay down on that old book and eat at it, until the old Shanghai roosters would begin to crow for morning. By that time the old pine knots would be about flickered out, and the future President would begin to think it was about bed time, so he would betake himself over in the corner to an old straw tick, and sleep for about half an hour as ordinary people do, then it would be time to get up and work all day for his brothers and sisters. The next night would be the same, and so *ad infinitum*.
This is the story we read in the good little books about the good little boys who didn't die, but became Presidents or Senators, or great orators. Is it any wonder that the doile Prep. sometimes doubted whether he would ever be President or not?
But times change. One by one the old myths and miracles are disappearing. And now with the beginning of the second century of our National existence. Young America finds that even the good little books are not always right. That it is not necessary in order to become President, to go hungry and wear patched or transparent trousers; to stay up every night studying second-hand books and work all day for the support of a large family, that the ratio of sleep one takes is not always inversely in the proportion of greatness. No, youthful Preps., it is not necessary to be troubled with insomnia, in order to be President.
The election of Harrison, if it has no obt merit, will have dispelled some of

VIEWER
THE GYMNASIUM.
Every student of the University should consider it his duty to encourage the move toward procuring a gymnasium. Some try to discourage the move by citing to the past, as if to point out a failure of a few who were unable to meet a need of many. You ask why we need a gymnasium? I shall answer you with a few questions: Why do nine-tenths of the students pelt like lizards if they climb Mt. Oread in less than fifteen minutes? Why are there from five to twenty recitations missed every week, on account of sickness? Why are you so ungainly? Why are your arms so flimsy and your muscles so placid? Why is your breast sunken and your shoulders stooped? Does one, or even two trips to the University during one day afford sufficient exercise to the student that lives at the foot of Mt. Oread?
It is true that continued gymnastic exercises would, to a great extent, remove the above difficulties. The cost of starting a gymnasium that will accommodate all who desire to go into it, will not be more than one-fourth as much as has already been pictured to us. Several of faculty have been consulted concerning this move and very heartily approve of it. Let us who are neutral show their approval by co-operating with those who are trying to fill a great vacancy in this institution. STUDENT.

The Mikado.
The "Mikado" has been played over and over again, but one who has seen it presented several times has never seen it performed better, and better appreciated than it was last Friday evening. The opening scene with about half of the company on the stage, attired in gay Japanese costume, was one long to be remembered. Mr.W.E.Higgins as Mikado might have been envious if the Mikado himself had been present. Too much cannot be said in praise of the way in which the parts of Ko-Ko by A.L.Baker, Pish.Tush by F.K.Dorance, Pooh.Bah by John Walker, Nankipoo by Fred Bowersock, Nee Ban by Abe Levy, and Katisha by Miss Lena Kenyon were rendered. Perhaps the most attractive feature of the whole play was the "Three Little Maids," Misses Anna Kenyon, Cora Kimball and Ia Williams, and especially this is true in regard to the admirable manner in which Miss Ia Williams rendered the part of Yum-Yum. Miss Williams gave the "Fan Song" in a rich, clear voice that was beyond all criticism, and the encore she received was deserved. We predict for the "Mikado" next Monday evening, fully as large a patronage as was given last Friday eucening.
Junior Laws Organize.
This select and sedate body of men met last Friday and perfected a permanent organization to be known as the class of '90. The following officers were elected President—A. L. Wilmoth. Vice-President—T. Flunnell. Secretary and Treasurer—Swartzell. Class Poet—J. E. Renminger. Historian—Caughey. Elaborate Constitution and By Laws were adopted.

Dancing at K' of P. Hall,
Unity Club meets Friday night, as usual, in the basement of the Unitarian church. The literary part of the evening will be taken up by Mr. C. M. Enns, who will give a talk on "A Russian School-boy's Literature." That this lecture will be very interesting there is little doubt, as the subject is one of which we know very little, and Mr. Ennis is a pleasing talker and thoroughly posted, having been one of the school boys himself. Games and other amusements will occupy the Social Hour. Lecture begins at 8 o'clock. Everybody cordially invited.
Prof. Ryan's Academy of Dancing open for ladies and gentlemen every Monday and Friday evenings. Ladies private class every Monday afternoon Ladies and children's class every Saturday afternoon. Mr. Ryan teaches all the most fashionable dances, making a specialty of the Waltz and Reverse. Pupils can enter at any time, their term commencing with the first lesson.

Color Blindness a Product of Civilization.
(paper read before the Kansas Academy of
Literature and W. S. Franklin.)
ully, RMICK.
The fact that blindness to certain colors exists among civilized people is well established. Also the percentage of cases to be found among males has been determined, with considerable probability, for the races of Europe and America. There has been much diversity in methods of testing, and the results of many reported determinations might well be called into question. Still it is probably not far from the truth that about four out of every hundred males are more or less deficient in color sense. Of females, there has been reported (color blindness, B. J. Jeffries, M. D., p. 74.) as examined in Europe and America 39,828 and of these only sixty were color blind, or 2 per cent. Of both males and females 156,792 have been tested and of these 6,721 or 4.27 per cent are color blind. These statistical facts have naturally excited interest and discussion. If so large a number as four out of every hundred are unable to distinguish colors, there arises, of course, a practical question important to the railroads, marine, &c., the gravity of this fact is already recognized more or less, in all countries by the test examinations for color blindness among employees. But there is in these statistics also much of interest to scientists.
Most cases of color blindness are found to be cognitual and are incurable. Many have been produced by disease, some by violent concussions in accidents and some by excessive use of tobacco and alcohol. Temporary blindness to violet may be induced by Santonine. From these facts several interesting questions has suggested themselves to us. If color blindness follows the laws of heredity is it on the increase or decrease? Further is it a product of civilization?
The first of these queries can be answered only by statistical data extending over long periods of time.
First, for the comparison of civilized nations among themselves, we have calculated out the following percentages from tables reported by Dr. Jeffries.
The second naturally suggests a comparison, first, of the color sense of civilized nations among themselves, and, second, of civilized with uncivilized peoples.
Of tests in native tribes, we can find but two recorded; those of Dr. Favre of The Lyons Med. R. R. in some tribes in Algers, and those of Dr. Fox on 150 American Indians, where we do not know.
No. Examined Per cent
Color Blind
Austria . 5250 3.79
Denmark . 5840 3.74
Belgium . 8106 4.13
Holland . 2300 1.43
Finland . 1200 5.00
Norway . 205 4.88

Italy . 2065 2.32
England . 16431 3.75
United States . 44884 3.64
Average per cent.
No great reliance can be placed upon these results. The numbers examined are too small, the methods of testing not uniform nor equally reliable. However, the probabilities of error are almost equally distributed, so that the conclusion is fairly well established, even without greater accuracy of data, that among civilized nations color blindness is at present almost equally common.
Second. Among uncivilized people Dr. Favre's results from Algiers already alluded to, show 414 examined and only 2-610 per cent color blind. Dr. Fox reports 161 young Indians tested and only 1.81 per cent color blind. These per centages so low compared with those for civilized people, suggest to us that color blindness may be a product of civilization, and have led to our tests here reported. At the Haskell Institute at Lawrence, Kansas, are several hundred Indians, representing many tribes. These we have recently examined by Holingren's method with Berlin Worsteds. Out of 418 tested 285 males and 133 females, only three cases of color blindness exist, or only 7-10 of one per cent. These three are full blooded Indians of the Pottawatomie, Pawnee and Crow tribes. These two have defective color sense for red and one for green.
The Indians of the school are about equally divided as full bloods and half breeds. It seemed to us that the half breeds showed more instances of blunted color sense than the full bloods. This was evident in more frequent and prolonged hesitation among them in comparing the colors than among the full bloods. If this be confined by more extended examinations, it would, in conjunction with the law of percentages obtained as above, be a strong argument in the theory proposed by us, that defective color vision is in some way the product of civilization
The use of tobacco suggests itself as a possible cause. This would explain also the low percentage among females. It will lead also to the thought of increase, in color blindness in males in future generations. But the data is too meagre at present to more than suggest this explanation.
It is certainly not accidental that nearly every case of colorblindness is for red, few for green and seldom one for violet. Why are the defects thus limited, at present at least, to the longer wave lengths of light?
The Young-Helenboltz theory of color perscription will locate the affection in the layer of rods and canes of the retina corresponding to the first of the three primary sensations of color. But why this special layer is, with few exceptions, the only one affected has at present no explanation.
The law of heritility indicates increased sensitiveness in those nerves which are subjected to special use through many generations. It seems reasonable to look for an explanation of the more perfect color sense in females to this fact. But among males, probably there will be an increase in future generations, of the number of cases of defective color sense.
Political Science Club.
The political Science Club held its third regular meeting, last Friday evening. Notwithstanding the many other meetings on that evening, a large crowd was present and an excellent program was rendered.
C. M. Watson gave the first report of the evening on Foreign, Events and Diplomacy. The Report of the November Election by Fred Leddeke seemed to indicate that Harrison had been elected. Although many theories might be advanced as to what the vote over the country indicated, yet it has proved one thing conclusively, and that is that the American people cannot be "tariff-ied" on driven into a panic by the cry of free trade, English rule, etc. Amid all the threatening cries of politicians, they seem to have pursued the even tenor of their way. A glance at the returns shows that the Democrats have as a rule gained in the cities and lost in the rural districts.
C. E. street make a most interesting report on Finance and Industry. Bringing up many interesting and instructive points. The "Special Topics" were then taken up. Miss Nettie Godell read a very entertaining paper upon the "Making and Unmaking of Criminals." She showed that crime was upon the increase in the United States, owing to the great number of large cities and the large foreign immigration, and also what steps might be taken to decrease it. The paper read by Buckingham was upon the "State Trials in the Reign of Charles II." He described the pump and ceremony which attended all trials of that day, and as a sample of the justice of the seventeenth century, gave an account of the trial and conviction of William Howard. Viscount of Stafford, for conspiracy in the "Popish Plot."
The last paper of the evening was by H. F. M. Bear, giving a description of the condition of labor in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. The substance of which was, that in spite of all the lavish gifts of nature and protection of the general government, this labor in Pennsylvania, is probably one of the most miserable in the world.
The discussion which followed each of these papers, was as interesting as instructive. No better way can be found
in which to spend a Friday evening than by taking advantage of the opportunity offered to all students to attend these semi-monthly meetings. Remember that even if you cannot become members, visitors are always welcome.
The Kappa Kappa Gamma calendar for the year 1889 came last Saturday. It is quite unique.
Society
Athenaeum Society held its meeting Friday night. The attendance was made light by the absence of several members who were interested in the "Mikado" at the opera house, the lecture in the Art Rooms, or the Political Science Club.
ATHENAEUM.
The program was well rendered as follows: Reading, C. S. Hall; declarations by Miss Carbin and A. F. Sherman; reading, Miss Howard; essay, R. D. Brown. After recess and some music, the debate was conducted by H. White and C. L. Christian on the affirmative, and by C. P. Chapman and H. C. Riggs on the negative.
The treasurer is at present quite active in collecting the quarterly dues. At this meeting seven persons were voted into the society, and eleven more names proposed for membership. The society adjourned to meet Friday evening, December 7th.
OROPHILIAN
If any one had an opinion that old Or opiphilan was about to die, a glance into their hall last Friday evening, would have soon dispelled all doubt, as to the endurance and presence of its vitality. Every seat was filled and the entire program, as posted, rendered. It reminded one of the 'good old days gone by.' The new officers were installed. F. E. Reed as President and Miss Florence Reasoner as Secretary. The following program was then rendered, the debate probably being one the most interesting features of the program:
Reading ... A. L. Sloan
Essay ... B. R. Wynne
Essay ... J. H. Sautell
Documentation ... F. B. Wher lye

A cosy audience enjoyed the art talk, given by B. W. Woodward in the art room Friday evening. The speaker handled his subject enthusiastically, giving a lively description of American art, recently exhibited at the Kansas City exposition. This was the best exhibition of American art that has ever been given west of the Mississippi. A comparison was then made between the old school and the new, whereby it was shown that the former had its day. In proof of this Mr. Woodward mentioned several of the old school paintings, which a few years ago sold for $14,000 a piece, but to-day are exchanging hands at $5,000. The speaker commented briefly upon the popular recognition American artists are beginning to receive abroad. The talk on the whole was interesting and instructive. All efforts on the part of Miss Simpson to secure entertainments of similar character, can not fail to be appreciated by her pupils, and the visitors of the art department.
Cheap Rates to Denver.
The railroads are cutting their western passenger rates, but the biggest cut and the one that will do the public the most good, is Bromelskls's slaughter of winter underwear, socks, mufflers, etc.
A Wolf Chase.
Professor Dyche no longer keeps his wolf chained out of doors. Last Monday about 12 o'clock Mr. Wolf severed his connection with the University and struck out toward Wakarusa. His absence was soon discovered and the professors and assistants in Snow Hall, accompanied by some of the pharmacy students were soon in pursuit. Eames tried to induce a neighbor to lend him a horse; Prof. Snow, Kellogg and Dyche ran after the wolf. Prof. Dyche was soon distanced by Prof. Snow and Kellogg. When the two reached the foot of the hill, as in Mark Twain's description of a coyote in "Roughling It," there was a long splitting sound in the air and Kellogg was left alone on University Place. Professor Snow captured the wolf among the snow sheds near the Carbondale road, and the wool now languishes in durance vile. When the chase was over, the pursuers presented a pleasing sight. Eames had left the laboratory with hatoff and sievees rolled up and with Professors Snow and Dyche and Kellogg in close pursuit. A farmer mistook Eames for an escaped subject in anatomy and called a halt. Kellogg was armed with a club and the Pharmacy students were supplied with chloroform and bandages. All in all this was the most exciting event since the Oratorical election.
Murphy of the laws, has lost all faitb in human friendship. He was called home last week by a telegram to the bed-side of a sick brother, and on his return to school he saw in the depot at Independence a trunk that he thought was his, which upon examination proved to be, so he immediately went upon a tour of investigation and found his roommate in the waiting room, wearing a forty dollar suit of clothes that he (Murphy) had left in Lawrence in his room. The miscreant had packed up all of Murphy's law books and everything of any value whatever, and was going to seek a warmer climate. Murphy persuaded him to change raiment and turn over the trunk and then allowed him to go. Murphy has no room-mate at present.
Snow Hall is in receipt of a very fine skin of a Rocky Mountain sheep. The specimen is a good one and will be mounted immediately and placed among the already large collection of animals in the Natural History department. Prof Snow says that the horns of the sheep are the best formed and in the best condition he has ever seen. The sheep was killed in Montana Territory, by an Indian and through the influence of a friend of the Professor was obtained for K. S. U. Rocky Mountain sheep are scarce articles now and Prof. Snow may be congratulated for his good luck.
A certain student of the University, a few days ago, met an old acquaintance who chanced to be out of a job and also without shelter. He kindly shared his room with his friend. The student was called home for a few days and on his return home stopped at a station and there saw his trunk at the depot. He soon found his friend dressed in some of his (the student's) clothing. Whereupon he proceeded to gather together his property and resume his journey to Lawrence, fully determined not to act upon the charity plan in the future.
Prof. Snow during his trip to McPherson took advantage of the opportunity to visit some of the Western Kansas colleges. At McPherson he visited the Dunkard College, a sectarian college and the only one supported by the Dunkard church in the United States. This is a new institution and the citizens boast that the "course of study and the curriculum is modeled after K. S. U." The professor visited the Swedish Lutheran college at Lindsborg. This college has a large attendance and seems to be in a flourishing condition. He reports Salina well supplied with colleges, having four, all of which have a fair attendance.
Gymnasium or no gymnasium, every student should have a pair of Indian clubs or dumb bells, in order to keep the muscles sufficiently developed. These can be procured at Smith's news depot, at way down prices.

AMUSEMENTS:
MONTE CRISTO.
The Boston Daily Globe says:
The talented melodramatic star, Aiden Benedict, opened a week's engagement at the Windsor Theatre yesterday in that powerful piece, "Monte Cristo." The star had quite a novel idea when he placed $5,000 in bright, new bills, in the store of Stephenson, the grocer, directly opposite the main entrance to the Windson. The sum was placed there as a guarantee that the entire production of "Monte Cristo" is as perfect a production of the piece as has ever been given in America. If the public verdict at the end of the week is against the star, piece, support and scenic setting, the money is to be donated to some local charity hereafter to be determined. Judging from the people turned away at both performances yesterday, and the enthusiastic plaudits from those who were fortunate enough to get into the theatre, there is very little doubt of the popular verdict. The play was cast, staged and given with a perfection that carried out all the promises of the star and management. Mr. Benedict, as Edmund Dantes, gave a mastery assumption of this great character and carried the house by storm. He played the part with rare good judgment, rising to the powerful scenes with a most brilliant reading of the character. His support was in the main good. They evidenced careful and systematic drill, and in consequence played together like well-oiled machinery. The seemery was elaborate, artistically correct, and all that could be asked. The entire production was thoroughly satisfactory from the rise to the fall of the curtain.
At the opera house Thanksgiving night. Scents now on sale.
RANCH 10.
"Ranch 10," one of the best and most successful of western plays, will be at the opera house this week. This excellent play was written some years ago by Harry Meredith, and made from the start a great hit. It caught on equally well east and west, and since then has played in all the leading cities of the country. The story is strongly interesting and intensely dramatic, and the play from first to last abounds in thrilling situations and effective climaxes. There are many fine scenic effects depicting far western life, and there is enough quaint and characteristic humor in the play to lighten the more sombre tones of the story. Mr. J. Clinton Hall, an excellent actor, plays the dual role in the play with a vigor and artistic finish that makes it stand out in bold relief, and is ably seconded by that clever actress, Fay Chester, who has made a distinct success with her part in the play. The piece will be mounted at the opera house with all the original scenery expressly painted for this season's production and will be played with the same attention to detail and the same artistic completeness that have made it one of the melodramatic successes of recent years. The company is an excellent one and the piece promises to be one of the best attractions of the season. The celebrated $1,000 prize dog, "Duke of Wellington," will be introduced in "Ranch 10," at the opera house, November 30th. Seats now on sale at Crew's book store.

A very sad accident happened last evening about 5 o'clock, which resulted in the serious injury of Whitney Churchill, son of Geo. Churchill residing in the southeast part of the city. The young man was returning home from the city when at the corner of Berkley and New York streets he was thrown from his sulky. He struck the ground in such a position as to sustain spinal injuries and in an unconscious condition he was carried to the home of Mrs. Miller on New York street. Medical aid was summoned and an examination of injuries made. Notwithstanding the skill of his physicians the young man remains in a half unconscious condition and but little hopes are entertained of his recovery.
Whitney Churchill is a young man of excellent character. He is a brother of Miss Delia Churchill, who died about two months ago under very distressing circumstances. The parents have the sympathy of many friends in their hour of trouble — Tribane.
