This charming comic opera is played by a company of Topeka's most famous vocalists. Bethany College, at Topeka, does not allow morning visitors. This statement was clearly proven by some of the K.S.U.students, recently. Prof. Ryan gave a gaslight dancing matinee Tharksgiving afternoon, at the Knights of Pythias hall. It was well attended by students. Is it not a little hard that the poor, unsuspecting student should be made to undergo a quiz, especially an English quiz, the first day after vacation? The Unity club of Lawrence was addressed Saturday evening by Mr. E. M. Evans, on "Russian Life." Mr. Evans is a member of the Senior class, and is a native of Russia.

Frank P. McLennan recently presented the library with a number of the works of E. W. Howe, of Atchison. Among them are "A Moonlight Boy," "The Mystery of the Locks," "The Story of a Country Town," and "A Man Story." The books greatly help to fill up the Kansas department of K. S. U. Library. The Senior moot court was held on Monday. Laws. The Juniors had a very interesting case in Moot court on Wednesday. The statement of the facts was that a father had given a promissory note to his daughter for $1,000, payable in one year, the only consideration being love and affection. On the note becoming due he paid the interest but not the principal. After her father's death the daughter brought suit against the administrator for the amount of the note. Can she recover?

The president of Baker University preached a sermon at the Methodist church in Atchison recently, and through this circumstance the Patriot of that city learned for the first time that Baker University was not in Missouri, as it had supposed. The students who took the 10:45 train south last Wednesday morning, were sufficiently punished for skipping Wednesday's recitations. In crossing a bridge over a ravine about three miles north of Baldwin the engine displaced a rail. The engine and the baggage car got safely over, but the two coaches crashed through the bridge, demolishing it completely and dragging the baggage car back into the ravine. The first coach landed in the ravine on its side, while the rear coach was left leaning up the embankment at a very uncomfortable angle, its front end in the ditch. The number of injuries received by the passengers was remarkably small, considering the character of the wreck. Eight or nine University students were on board, but with one exception they escaped with slight injuries. Mr. Perry, of Parsons, was quite badly cut with glass, and had to be left at Baldwin, but he is said to be improving rapidly. Needs of the University. The Sixth Biennial Report the Regents of and of the Chancellor and Faculty to the Governor of the State has been made public. We are glad to observe the tone of the report. The progress of the University to the present time is recognized and recorded, the present excellent condition of all the departments is fully set forth. The demands of the immediate future, however, are not forgotton in congratulations respecting the past and the present. The needs of the University may be considered under three heads—books, apparatus, and instruction. The purely collegiate courses—Junior and Senior electives and Post-Graduate studies—must be made to cover broader ground. In many of the departments it is impossible for the student to find what he really needs. For instance, if it were desired to make special study of German or French or both with a view to a preparation to teach these branches, the University of Kansas offers no opportunity. The same thing may be said in regard to other departments. We are greatly interested therefore in the following recommendations of the chancellor and we congratulate the University and its friends that they received the favorable consideration of the Board of Regents. There should be no doubt, and there is none, that the Legislature will make the appropriations liberal enough to enable the Regents to make the desired additions to the Faculty. We take pleasure in quoting from the Chancellor's report: "Professor Snow should be relieved of a part of his work. With prodigious industry and with great success he has for many years cared for the entire field of botany, zoology, geology, meteorology, and physiology. In all this work he has not even had the help of a regular assistant until the appointment of L. L. Dyche, in 1884. I suggest and recommend that Mr. Dyche be made Professor of Anatomy and Physiology, and Taxidermist; and that a Professor of Geology be appointed, to enter upon the duties of that office not later than the opening of the fall term of 1889. I also recommend that, in addition, an assistant be given to Professor Snow. With tireless energy and unfailing enthusiasm Professor James H. Canfield has carried, since 1881, the professorship of History and Political Science. The presentation of optional studies for the Junior and Senior classes has multiplied many fold the labor required of the instructor in this department. The professorship should be at once divided, and a chair of history established. This would leave political science alone with Professor Canfield. One of the most important topics in the entire field of college work—important not simply in itself, but also in its relation with all other fields of study and investigation—is philosophy. The University of Kansas has never erected this into a professorship. Its care has been made the duty of the Chancellor. The varied and incessant duties of this office render adequate attention to any professorship impossible. Is there not room for hope that means may be found for the establishment of this professorship by the close of the present collegiate year? The Professor of Chemistry has carried the work of his department since the fall of 1883 either with no assistance at all or with such help as he has been able to obtain from students in his higher classes. For the past two years this assistance has been very efficiently rendered by Mr. Edward C. Franklin. Mr. Franklin graduated with the last class, 1888. It is not at all probable that satisfactory results can be secured by a continuation of this method. I earnestly recommend the formal appointment of an Assistant Professor of Chemistry. Similarly, and for precisely the same reasons, an assistant should be appointed in Pharmacy. The efficiency of two departments is suffering for lack of teaching force that of German and that of French. If each could have a well qualified assistant, it would place the work where, for the present, it ought to be. A single assistant, whose time might be divided between the two departments, would afford great relief. I respectfully refer you to the reports of Professors W. H. Carruth and A. G. Canfield. I ask your attention also to Professor Marsh's statement of the work in t.e Department of English. I cannot hope to strengthen his presentation of the case, but I must say that the reasons for asking for an instructor in elocution are rather under-stated than over-stated. The Department of Music is, properly, perhaps, self-sustaining. The salary of the Dean, like that of the other professors, comes wholly from tuitions. Yet, in the management of such an enterprise, there is required, of necessity, a very considerable amount of executive work. No provision has been made for this, and, in consequence, the department is seriously crippled. Let me refer you to Professor MacDonald's report for his statement of the case. If you can make some provision by which this executive work may be paid for outside of the income from music tuitions, it would greatly relieve the department, and add largly to its efficiency. The Regents have increased the estimates for salaries of the professors. There should be no hesitation in making the appropriations accordingly. The University of Kansas cannot afford to have its professors drawn away by the attraction of larger salaries elsewhere, as in the case of Prof. Spring and Prof. Nichols. The youth of Kansas need the best possible instruction. The State is able and willing to pay for it. The Department of Physics asks for $10,000 ($5,000 each of the two years) for electrical apparatus; $6, 000 ($3,000 each year) are asked for additions to cabinets and for maps, charts and illustrative apparatus; the Departments of Chemistry and Pharmacy asks for $2,700 ($1,350 each year). These are reasonable demands. The work of the University has for the past two years been straightened on account of a lack of apparatus and material. The Regents second the requests of the Professors and have incorporated these items in the estimates to be laid before the Legislature. The needs of the Library have been often referred to in these columns. We take pleasure in quoting once more from the Chancellor's report: "There is another department of University work of prime importance, and holding a most intimate relation with every other. I refer to the library. It is a singular fact, that nearly every professor whose report is presented to you insists upon a large expansion of the library. I am led by an examination of these reports, and by frequent conversations with the professors and the Librarian, to conclude that the sum of $25,000 might profitably be expended at once in the purchase of books to increase the power and efficiency of this branch of the University work." The Regents response to this suggestion is the insertion in their estimates of an item of $25,000 ($12,500 each of the two years) for "Additions to the Library." The University is to be congratulated at least upon one point—the Board of Regents has a keen appreciation of the expanding educational power of the University, whose destinies have been placed in their hands, and of the means by which a further growth may be secured. It is to be hoped that the appeal to the Legislature may not be in vain. Appropriations should promptly be made for every item asked for. We close this review with an endorsement of a sentence which we find in the Regent's Report: "The University is in a most prosperous condition." "SINK or swim, live or die, survive or perish," let us all unite in making the oratorical contest held here a great success, and also in taking the largest delegation of students to Emporia to cheer for our man and for K S. U., that has ever attended any State contest. All differences should be put aside and a united effort made to place Kansas—and if Kansas, why not K. S. U._at the head of the list in the inter-state contest. Let every man who can write an oration—for the field is open to all—enter our local contest and help the good cause along. An Accident. Last Monday afternoon, when Misses Hadley and Howard were out driving in the latter's pony carriage, the animal became frightened at a dog that came out at them. Miss Hadley went out first, with Miss Howard a close second. Fortunately neither was hurt, but the "darling little carriage." over which the young lady students have so often raved, was considerably damaged. A rather amusing story is told of a Thanksgiving dinner at a students' boarding club in the southwestern part of the city. Some kind friend sent the boys a gallon of cider, and they, unconscious that it had been "spiked," drank rather freely. The result can be guessed. The toasts that were made and the songs that were sung were of a very hilarious nature. A meeting was held the next day and the boys swore vengeance on their unknown friend—Tribune. This is said to have been the Moncrie club. Try a sample bottle of King's Discovery for coughs and colds, at Raymond & Dick's. If there is anything in the world that is annoying and "aggravoking" it is to have the bristles of one's tooth brush come out into the mouth.

The Student, of the Indiana University, criticises the Courier because it devotes so much space to advertising its local merchants. The editor of the Student has never been business manager or he would understand why this is done. The Freshman class at the University of California seems to have a difficult task to select a class yell. They have already appointed three committees for this purpose, the first two having been discharged and the last one appointed, it is hoped, will secure the desired result.—Ex. The Hesperian in one of its late numbers contains a long article in which the author attempts to prove that Rosecranz was the greatest Union general of the war. It says: "Grant was elevated by the force of necessity; Rosecranz degraded by the force of circumstances. Grant's campaign was marked by luck or eccentric failure; Rosecranz by toil or methodical success. Grant possessed the sympathy of the government; Rosecranz its antipathy. Grant appears as the stationary, glaring sun; Rosecranz as the swift, glimmering meteor." Nice sweet chestnuts at Luther's. The Misses Barker charmingly entertained a select number of friends last Friday evening with a Mikado tea. A most delightful time is reported. If you are in the city on Thanksgiving day, get your dinner at the Delmonico. Misses Hair,Hadley, Tisdale, Price, Messrs. Deverell and Voornis and Mr. and Mrs.L. W.

The singing of the Pan Pipe quartette was jocund and joyous as ever, and Mr. Harry Gilfoil convulsed the audience with his reportoile of imitations for the third and last time. Those who meet the genial, joking happy Mr. Douglas off the stage can scarcely realize that he is the deep-plotting, polished villain they see behind the foot-lights. Mr. Douglas resigned an officer's position in the British army to go on the stage, and he has srtuck his calling. Mr. Beers will be long remembered in Charleston as a first-class histrionic artist, supported by a strong troupe of artists who were ladies and gentlemen. —Charleston Sun.

"DOCTOR OF ALCANTARA." If You Want to See the Largest Stock of The Topeka Home Opera Company will present this popular comic opera at the opera house to-night. Miss Zella Hill, at the head of the cast, is well known in Lawrence musical circles, while many heard Mr. George Nolte at Prof. Aldrich's benefit concert last spring. The Topeka correspondent to the New York Mirror says: "The St. Cecelia Quartet, a local musical organization, gave Dr. Eichborg's Doctor of Alcantara 12-13. The members of this society are semi-professionals of more than local repute. Their performance was fully up to the average professional standard. One of the pleasantest features of the entertainment was the reappearance (after a long interval of retirement from public view) of Major James Moore as Don Pomposo. Major Moore is by all odds the finest baritone singer we have heard here, and it is to be hoped we shall hear him oftener. Ray Bros. for good eating apples Try 'em and you will buy 'em.

C. party, given at the residence of Miss Mamie Tisdale to-night. Prof. Snow has just issued his annual Coleoptera (beetle) exchange list, which will be sent to the prominent entomologists of this country and Europe. The Oratorical continues to cause the regulation "flowing about of brains" without effect. It is hoped that to-morrow's meeting will succeed in settling all difficulties once for all. The foot-ball team is taking advantage of the fine weather and have a game nearly every afternoon. Practice up boys, and we shall beat Washburn in foot-ball as well as in baseball. Prof. J. H. Canfield has donated to the library Bernard's History of the United States, revised by C. E. Bush. This book contains a full history of Kansas, and is a valuable addition to the Kansas department of the library. The government is indebted to the natural history department of this institutson for donations of fine specimens of fossil leaves from the Dakota sandstone in Ellsworth county, this state. Our museum possesses the finest and most complete collections in the world in this line. They were obtained through the energy and skill of Judge E. P. West, who has spent the whole of his time for the last several years in collecting; assorting and preparing the specimens in the department of Paleontology.

All members are requested to be present. A large and appreciative audience assembled in the art room last Friday evening to hear Miss Simpson's lecture on "An Art Student's Life in Paris." The lecture was charmingly written, and presented in a lively manner the various phases of the somewhat Bohemian life of the Parisian art student. The Art Lecture. The lecturer spoke of the art teachers of Paris, and described their methods in a very interesting way. She also told an interesting anecdote of an occasion when she and some friends had an opportunity to encounter "French politeness" in a rather disagreeable form. Miss Simpson opened by commenting on the interest of Paris as an art center, and the special advantages it offers to the student of art. The inestimable opportunities for study affordedby the galleries of the Louvre and the Luxembourg, were spoken of. These, together with the succession of numerous smaller exhibits, which last from January into the spring, and culminate in the great event of the year, the salon, form a continuous round, from which the art student emerges at the end of the season quite tired out. The advantages of Paris for study, from an economical standpoint, were discussed. Furnished rooms, and board of excellent quality, could be obtained at a much lower rate than in new York City. Shabby appareal, lodgings in a little back street, or a three-sou ride on an omnibus, was always excusable in artists. The models were spoken of in the course of the lecture. These were generally French or Italian, preferably the latter. A number of other points of interest to the artist were touched upon,and the hearers dispersed after having spent a delightful half-hour. We believe it is the intention of the art department to give one of these lectures every two weeks, and we hope they will continue to grow in interest and popularity. Science Club. This popular University society held a very interesting meeting last Friday in its spacious headquarters in Snow Hall. The members, as well as the large number of visitors present, were highly edified, during the half-hour preceding the formal session, in examining Prof. Snow's collection of microscopic slides through the excellent instruments which belong to his department. This informal "microscope social" was supplemented in the regular program by a talk on microscopes by Mr.V.L.Kellogg. That gentleman spoke of the exhibition of magnifiers at the recent meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science at Leavenworth. It was there satisfactorily demonstrated that the instruments of American make, as used by this institution, compare most favorably with those of European manufacture with the ostliest accessories. W. S. Franklin reviewed some of the more important recent scientific researches. In the course of his remarks he referred to a new treatise by Bernheim on Hypnotism, which is placed in the front rank of dissertations on this subject. Mr. Franklin also cited most interesting passages from the American Journal of Psychology relating to the same subject. Prof. Snow was very much interested on discovering that the seven year cycle of maximum precipitation, as shown by Mr. Murphy's chart, was identical with the period of rainfall fluctuation at this place, which the Professor has the honor of first noticing. Mr. E. C. Murphy followed with a paper on the "Relation Between the Rainfall and the Depth of the Great Lakes." This article was illustrated by two charts showing the rainfall curve for that region and the surface curve of the lakes. The chairman of the annual banquet committee reported the purchase of a complete assortment of dishes to be used on that occasion, samples of which he exhibited in the club. The report was ratified with great enthusiasm. This annual Science Club jamboree has become a recognized feature in the doings of the club, and the extensive preparations now being made to render an unique and interesting program seem to justify the assertion that this, the sixth one in the history of the club, will in no wise fall behind its predecessors. The club voted to meet again next Friday evening. Philological Club. The club decided to purchase and put in the Library the Contemporary Review, the Nineteenth Century, the Fortnightly and the Neue Jahrbuecher fuer Philologie und Peadagogik; and to accept the offer of Prof. Marsh to add to these the Edinburgh Review, the London Quarterly and the Westminster. It also left with the committee the purchase of a modern language periodical for the library. Miss Mary Manley spoke of the Vercelli Codex, a manuscript of Cynewulf, discovered early in this century at Vercelli, a small town in Northern Italy. Professor Cook, of the University of California, has lately issued a pamphlet to prove that this manuscript was carried thither by Cardinal Gaula Bicchierri, the Pope's legate to England from 1216 to 1218. The Cardinal was a scholar, a friend of learning, the founder of the Church of St. Andreas (probably in memory of his English benefice at St. Andrew), and later of a monastery and school, to which he bequeathed his large library. Among his books was certainly one in English. The Cardinal employed a French scholar with English interests, and English architects. Why may he not have been interested in English literature? His life and fortunes were in various ways connected with St. Andrew, an account of whom is one of the principal poems of Cynewulf. Therefore he would have had especial interest in the Vercelli book. Miss Merrill gave a resume of the late Professor Sill's article on the Principles of Criticism. Critical principles must be broad enough to include all art; otherwise they are not fundamental. The effect of beauty on the mind is increased activity. The secret of all art is that it is the giver of what man desires most earnestly, abounding life. Art should be judged, then, according to its life giving qualities; literature, the highest of the arts, because of its expressive power; novels and poetry, the highest forms, because they convey more of the writer to the reader than any other form. Miss Rudolph spoke of a new book on the Roman army in Caesar's time, by Mr. Judson. It is the fullest account of the subject in English, and a valuable addition to Roman school literature Prof. Wilcox spoke of and read some extracts from an edition of the fragments of the Greek comic poets, with metrical translations, by Prof. Paley, and a Skeleton Outline of Greek History by Evelyn Abbott. He also gave reports of excavations and finds in Greece, at Athens, Mycenae, Tanagra and in Crete. At Athens the most important find is an inscription showing conclusively that the Erechthion had gables on both the east and west front. At Mycenae a large number of pre-Homeric graves are being found, with many articles in quite an oriental style. Abe Levy has an elegant line of fine Silk and Cashmere Mufflers.

The first are the "society men;" the second are those students who never get their heads out from between the backs of their text books Both extremes should be avoided. Recreation in society is beneficial to the student, but it is very essential that he be a student. C. S. FINCH is now the city editor of the Tribune, and the Courier is pleased to welcome another old K.S. U. boy back to Lawrence. The Harper Graphic speaks of him in the following complimentary words: "Mr. Finch is one of Harper's "early-day" newspaper men, having been connected with the leading papers of this county almost since its organization. He is especially fitted for the position of associate and city editor, which he assumes on or about November 25. As an attorney, Mr. Finch has an enviable record in this county, and in retiring from the bar which his learning and ability has adorned, the profession looses a brilliant advocate, while journalism receives within her open arms a bright and able master of the pen, who will add luster to the burnished sts that glitter on her brow. In returning to his first love, and only mistress of bis heart, Charley retires from a profession wherein the gateways of distinction have always stood open, to another where the pathway of national repute lures his feet with irresistible smiles." According to the sixth biennial report of the Regents and the faculty of the State University, that institution is in a very prosperous condition. There are few better educational institutions in the United States than the Kansas University. Its regents are a careful and capable body. Its Chancellor, Dr. Lippincott, is a gentleman of superior scholarly and executive ability, and its faculty, in the main, consists of competent, experienced and loyal instructors—instructors loyal to the institution and attentive to their duties. All that grand institution needs to speedily take rank with the older institutions of the land is a larger faculty, and perfect harmony and cooperation among its members—Atchison Champion. EVEN the most sanguine and enthusiastic members of the Athletic Association are becoming discouraged. The trouble seems te be that they can secure no room in the University, and none in the town suitable for such a purpose. There has been a little unmeaning talk about trying to organize a club with a membership large enough to enable it to lease Frazier Hall, in the Eldridge House block; but it is not probable that such a club, after leasing the hall, could raise the money to buy enough apparatus for its necessarily large number of members. Although Washburn has no more room than the University, yet the students have obtained a room in one of the buildings, and have fitted it up with gymnastic apparatus, simple and few, to be sure, but which form the foundation or corner-stone, as it were, for the building up of an excellent gymnasium. It seems that the students of old K. S. U. are doomed to exercise the best way they can, and to resort to base ball, foot ball, tennis, and minor sports for amusement or exercise. There is always an indefinable pleasure in change. Change of scene and climate make a greater impression in the winter season, when the difference in longitude is more easily felt. 'Twas but a month ago that Kansas was literally "snowed under." Before the last traces of that snow had disappeared I was fortunate enough to be permitted to take a trip which will always be a pleasant one to me. Leaving Lawrence, I had a ratter trip as far as Newton. There I was pleased to find some familiar faces which have been absent from Oread's Halls for a year or so. Gilbert is the same chunky "Gillie" as of yore, only topped off well by a new silk hat, the probable purchase of some poor, misguided Democrat. I was also enabled to spend a few moments with a "formerly of Atchison" Theta—moments which made me wish to spend a few more of them than my time allowed. Going south Collector Ross Wemple was my "guide." A peep into the modern American smoking car was taken, and as usual, it was a motley assembly that it contained. Two of the Ishmaelites of to-day sat stolidly in a seat neither looking to the right nor to the left. I do not know how "John" appears on his native heath, but in this country he is far from attractive $\mathfrak{q}$ intelligent looking. Behind these sat a dusky son and daughter of Ham, blacker than midnight, and keen for a sneer from some "po' white trash" to make trouble. Four fat, greasy looking Indians, two cowboys and some half-dozen Italian immigrants made up the part of the population which attracted attention from eyes and nose. Truly our nation is made up of many races, tribes and colors, a decidedly variegated country. Arkansas City at midnight. Then I felt that, for a time at least, I had left all old college friends behind and was indeed going into a strange land. The first thing I saw in the morning was rain, lots of it. It gave the old Red River a more brilliant color, drove indoors all industriously inclined citizens and caused the bums on the various depot platforms to keep well under the eaves, and gave them an even more unattractive air than such parties usually wear. I hope to be able to give an unbiased opinion of the native Texan ere long. He is a good subject for study. If I believed half that I have heard about the natives, I would leave at once, but everyone who tells these blood-curdling stories ends with, "if you are here a year, you'll never want to stay anywhere else." I certainly do see a new class of men here. It was policy that made me quit wearing my derby hat after the first day. I don't enjoy being stared at. My room mate looked at my "Prince Albert" and remarked that men had been killed here for less crimes than wearing one of those things. At Gainisville, quite a town by the way, we made a halt for breakfast. We all waded a block through mud of a nice "gumbo" variety, smelled some exceedingly poor and greasy pork, tried to eat a biscuit or so, paid "six bits" and went back wiser, poorer and madder than before. "Experience is a dear teacher.' Next time I shall try and avoid that hotel. As the day wore on the fields of corn became fewer, and we passed large fields of cotton. It was fully ripe,part having been picked, but where the pickers had not been at work the bushes appeared at a distance as tho' covered with snow. The general appearance of all the farms indicates shiftlessness; shanties for houses, no stables, crops unhoused and all agricultural implements lying where last used. Occasianally we passed a place that looked as though a man from Ohio or Indiana had got a hold, there things looked better. Fort Worth, one of the busiest and best towns in the "Lone Star" State, was passed and the country began to be more rolling. Along the valley of the Brazos there is a good deal of timber and the country is remarkably pretty. The trees were all covered with light green foliage, presenting a marked contrast to the scenes of the day before. At night I landed in Temple, the muddiest, most forlorn, dreary hole, I thought that evening, that I had ever seen. A very poor supper, a worse bed, almost no breakfast, gave me a bad impression, which did not wear off until I was fairly settled. A nice room, good board where a feller must sprechen Deutsch or starve, pleasant companions, a room-mate who is all that could be desired, (by the way he is one of friend Lippincott's C., F. S. & C. chums.) and a busy little town to live in, I can say that I am quite content Enough said. The native will be a big subject to tackle, and, if my tall friend, the editor, cares for copy, I may try to give some impressions of "Potter in Texas," or of the cities of Galveston, Houston or Austin. Of the beautiful girls I can say nothing, for, alas! the beautiful Texas girl is a myth, and the man who tells you about her is——not. Personal. R. E. HENRY. Martique Babcock visited last week.

Prof. Snow read a paper on Eschatology before the Old and New club, which met at Mr. Bowersock's Saturday evening. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, DECEMBER 21.1888. Prof. Snow has recently purchased Samuel H. Scudder's new work on "The Butterflies of the Eastern United States and Canada." It is sold only by subscription, and issued monthly in twelve parts, of which the first two have already appeared. When completed it will contain 2,000 figures on 96 plates, of which more than 40 are colored. The text will consist of 1,700 pages. The price paid was fifty dollars. This is the most complete and exhaustive work in this line ever published. Mr. Geo. Sanderson arrived in this city a few days ago and will organize classes in elocation. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College and the Normal School of Oratory, and comes very highly recommended. The last case tried in the Junior moot court has been submitted to Horton and Stebbins, of the Senior moot court, to deliver briefs upon. The class in Sophomore English handed in abstracts of Keat's "Eve of St. Agnes" this morning. Street, Caywood, Earlart, Reed, Bean, Mushrush and Culver will compete for the honor of representing K. S.U. in the State Oratorical contest to be held at Emporia next February. Prof. Dunlap held no recitation in cis class in Sophomore English. He is just now the most popular man in the University. A man was busy yesterday cutting the superfluous branches from the trees on the campus. Arthur Callahan entertained about a dozen of his friends last Saturday evening with a progressive sparring match. This new amusement is all the rage this season at Boston stag parties. The object of the game is to give the largest number of nose taps, and the bell at the head, rung at the end of a round, is the signal to change. On this occasion the The professors are not at all inclined to grant leave of absence so near the holidays. The boys who left before the fixed time may expect no mercy. The class in Freshman English was required to hand in essays to-day on any one of the following subjects: Dryden's Morality as compared with Addison's; The true character of Dean Swift; Addison's place in English literature as a prose writer. Some of the boys tried the excuse of "over work" in order to get out of this work, but it didn't work. Devotees of Pollux. game went merrily on until the exceedingly "rocky" look of the booby suggested a timely termination. The affair was governed by Marquis of Queensburry rules, and when points arose to which that code was not applicable, they were referred to Robert's rules of order, in the hands of that gentleman's namesake and worthy exponent. C. A. Peabody acted as referee. Cider and apples were served between the rounds, and the thumps and taps were in perfect unison with the tuneful measures of the Phi Psi mandolin club. Phi Gamma Delta. Last evening Pi Deuteron chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, celebrated its seventh anniversary by entertaining the friends of the members at K. of P. Hall. The party was the most successful ever given by the fraternity, and those present will long remember the royal manner in which they were entertained. The evening was devoted almost entirely to dancing, for which the full Mandolin club orchestra furnished its inspiring music. About eleven o'clock those present repaired to the Lawrence House, where a very pleasant hour was spent in discussing the delicious viands with which the tables were spread. After an interval spent in conversation and other amusements, the party returned to the hall, where dancing was continued until a late hour. Those present were: Hon. S. A. Riggs and wife and Misses Lyons, Pennfield, Roberts, Webber, Miller, Webster, Beard, Nelson, Innes, Tisdale, Babcock, Howe, Griffith, Harrison, Hadley, Bean, Hynes White, Town, Mason, and Tenney. Messrs. Hogeboom, Johnson, Otis, Fox, Earbart, DeCamp, Challiss, Kaiser, Horton, Hackett, Valentine, Morgan, DeFord, O. E. Johnston, McCague, Akers, Lewis, Kroh, Curdy, Butterworth, Flannelly and Holbert, of Atchison. Political Science Club. Political Science Club. A large audience was assembled at the session of the club last Friday evening; the principal attraction being Prof. Canfield's lecture on "What is Socialism?" The Kappa Kappa Gamma young ladies entertained their friends last Monday evening. It is needless to add that all had a most enjoyable time. Those present were: Misses Franklin, McKinnon, Henshaw, Morris, Bowersock, Johnston, Price, Hadley, Maxwell, Inez Henshaw, Inez Taggart, Nina Taggart, Pickering, Palmer, Williams, Hayes, Howe, Hair, Lockwood, Eddy, Stanford, Edwards, Kimball, Nelson, Springer and O'Bryon; and Messrs Earlhar, Fullerton, Caywood, Cock, Burney, Vorbis, Adams. Reed, Robinson, V. L. Kellogg, Deverell, Bowersock, Hadley, Higgins, Craig, P. Morris, E. D. Morris, Brown, McKinnon, F. H. Kellogg, Smith, Challiss. Henshaw, Bear and Stover. Kappa Kappa Gamma. The first paper of the evening was on the U. S. Senate, read by W. R. Armstrong. A paper on Finance and Industry, by Mr Craig, was read by Mr. Hill. The next paper was on Foreign Events, by Mr. Hickey. The disturbance between the United States and Hayti was spoken of, as was also the trouble in regard to the Samoan Islands. A recent action of the Italian Pa-liment concerning labor, and the present disquietude of France, were taken up at some length. The last and most interesting feature on the program was Prof. Canfield's lecture. "Socialism;" the lecturer said, "is humanitarian and philosophic. The old communities of the monks were dreams of the might be, and the ought to be." The Professor went on to say: "In our day, since the 'third estate' has arisen, we say we have an era of freedom. But the question now arises, have the common laborers gained anything?" Here the Professor quoted from a work by a prominent French Socialist, to show the great gulf which at present seems to be between the laborer and the cap italist. Several errors in regard to Socialism were spoken of. One is, that Socialism is opposed to Christianity. But the Christian idea of equality has been the foundation of all Socialism. Horace Grceley, Charles A. Dana, Geo. William Curtis, Margaret Fuller and Dr Channing were all interested in Socialistic ideas, yet who ascribes any but the loftiest motives to these. Another error in regard to Socialism is that it is connected with free love. A more mistaken idea never existed. The lecturer spoke of the absurdity and ignorance displayed by the newspapers in regard to Socialism, and quoted some of the familiar anathemas employed by the press in its denunciation of the Socialistic movement. "It is no use," the Professor said, "to try to keep back the truth. It is the duty of every patriotic citizen to investigate these question for himself, and ascertain from an impartial standpoint, whether they have any claims to be recognized. It will do no good to sneer at Socialism or try to laugh it down. It must be recognized sooner or later and how much better to investigate its claims, and, if they are just, concede to them, than to wait for a great, popular upraising, to demonstrate that the Socialistic influence is something which demands the study of thinking men. A great popular blunder exists," said Prossor Canfield, "in the confusion of the three terms, Socialism, Communism and Nihilism, or as it is called in this country Anarchy. On the contrary, there is the widest difference between these three classes. Socialism is the opposite of individuality, and its distinctive idea is distributive justice. Socialism stands on moral principles, while Communism bases itself on legal, or legislative grounds. A mistake is made in confusing the Communists, who have existed for centuries, with the Communalists, who were guilty of the excesses of the Paris Commune of 1870. As to the Nihilists, they may have some mission to fulfil in a despotic government like Russia; but in free America they have none." The lecture was highly appreciated, and every one left with a clearer comprehension of this intricate, and generally misunderstood social problem. We do not believe there is a man in any educational institution in the State of Kansas, who can combine deep thought, and comprehensive grasp of a subject of this kind, with such happy facility of expression as Prof. James H. Canfield. The Science club held its last meeting before the holidays last Friday evening. In spite of social diversions elsewhere, the attendance was good and the program as posted, was carried out. Prof. Marvin exhibited and explained some of the new instruments recently purchased by the department of Civil Engineering. There were some ten of them, all of the best quality and similar to those in use at Columbia. One instrument, alone costing $850, is used for computing lines as long as forty or fifty miles, and can be read to seconds of arc. Science Club. Richard Short followed with an interesting and graphic account of his experiences as civil engineer on the Missouri River last summer. Joe Jacobs presented a paper on the methods of determining the velocity of light. Facts of recent occurrence in the scientific world were then discussed, and after transacting some business, the club adjourned until after the holidays. Mrs. Geo. Shaw, nee Carrie Marks, gave a delightful lunch party last Saturday afternoon. Those attending were; Misses Babcock, Levi, Began, Tisdale, Survie, Jacobs, Annie Monroe, Howland, Benedict, Mamie Monroe and Hadley. Ella and Dollie Martin were interested visitors at K. S.

This number consists mostly of the male students, many of the young ladies not having yet signed. All those who have not yet added their names to the list should do so at once, the young ladies especially. This is a matter of vital importance, and cannot meet with the too hearty approbation and support of both sexes. At a recent meeting of the Faculty at Washburn, an act was passed granting to the professors and instructors the privilege of deciding whether or not they should give final examinations to their respective classes. While some of the professors adhere to the old custom of having final examinations, others are in favor o. doing away with this system, and adopting some plan of their own devising, which is more suitable to their different departments. THE COURIER wishes all its friends the usual "Happy Christmas and Merry-New Years," and hopes that all may return after the holidays with renewed vigor and a strong desire to win honors and to excel in at least one branch. The new year promises to be the one most important in the history of K. S. U. We all hope, ere we once more leave the doors of the University to spend the summer vacation, that all the petitions to the legislature may be granted and the future greatness of of K. S. U., as a State University, insurad. May these hopes not be blighted. The students have again begun to show renewed zeal and enthusiasm in literary work. The work now being done by the two literary societies can be favorably compared with that done by old Oread in its most flourishing days. Orophilian has been rejuvenated, as it were, and Athenaeum is coming rapidly to the front. The latter, especially, is doing some work which is surprising in a new society, and which shows that its members are a class of the most energetic students, whose honest endeavor it is to present an interesting program. The success with which these societies are meeting shows that the students of K. S. U. still take an active interest in literary work and that a society not governed by any faction, where true merit is recognized and honored, is certain to succeed. Pi Beta Phi. The reception given by the ladies of the Pi Beta Phi Sorosia last Friday evening was an event long to be remembered by those who had the pleasure of attending. The elegant residence of Hon. Henry Tisdale, of West Lawrence, was thrown open for the occasion, and in its vide and brilliantly illuminated parlors the guests were made to feel that the Pi Beta Phi's of to-day even surpass in hospitality and cordial welcome the I.C.'s, of former times. At about ten o'clock a most sumptuous repast was served, during the last course of which beautifully hand painted sachet bags, in garnet and light blue, the colors of the Sorosis, were presented to each of the guests. These charming little souvenirs were the more highly prized by the delighted recipients because of the fair hands that made them. After refreshments the merry throng adjourned to the spacious dancing hall on the third floor, where dancing to the music of the mandolin club was indulged in by lovers of the Terpischorean art until a late hour. The Pi Beta Phi's are justly to be congratulated upon possessing the true secret of success in entertaining their many friends. Those present were: Misses Webster, Babcock, Maxwell, Pickering, Hadley, Fullerton, Johnston, Kate Miller, Teuney, Buckingham, Brown, Helen Webber, Mary Miller, Pugh, Love, Horton, King, Scott, Gertrude Crotty, Manly, Anna Barker, Millia Crotty, Penfield, White, Lou Barker, Snow, McCague, Dow, Tisdale and Sutliff; Messrs.

Spencer, Tom Horton, Morris, Buckingham, Reed, White, Wilkinson, Barnes, Shellabarger, Armstrong, Brewster, Hogeboom, Esterley, Voorhis, Johnston, DeCamp, McCague, Rankin, Gilmore and Kroh. C. C. Dailey, '87, has been sojourning with his Pharmacy brethren. He is now located in Denver. Pharmacy Phreaks. I. V. Hardy took a trip up the country Sunday. While the Regents are asking for appropriations, why not ask for a dollar or two to build a walk from the main building to the Chemistry department. Work in quantitative analysis consists in acidimetry and mineral waters this week. Snepp expects to spend his vacation in Olathe with his wife's folks. There is a movement on foot to arrange so that any State that recognizes a College of Pharmacy diploma, shall recognize K. S. U. Our course is one of the most thorough and complete in the United States, and it is but justice that our diploma should be so recognized. Atbenaeum C. E. Lindley will soon open up a drug store in partnership with his father. Success to the firm. The meeting was called to order at the usual time by the president. After the customary preliminaries, the following program was well rendered: The Pharmacy department deserves and needs some kind of an appropriation for the purchase of apparatus for the laboratories.

A committee of three was appointed to confer with Oriphillian in regaad to a joint program to be held after Christmas. It was decided that there should be a meeting of the society to-night. All who possibly can are requested to be present. Visitors welcome. A hint to the wise is sufficient.
