THIS is the time of year when the tired reporter chews his pencil to a pulp and loosens great handfuls of hair because of his futile attempts in searching for news.
WASHBURN has recently been presented with two liberal donations, by friends who are too modest to have their names made known. One donation of $15,000 is to help toward the building of the new chapel. The other, of $10,000, is to be added to the endowment fund
Now comes a bail in the storm of parties and receptions which has almost done away with the poor society student. He will have a rest until after the examinations any how. Then he may expect to be once more called forth from his quiet fireside to participate in an unusual number of social events.
We notice that people now drive across the base ball grounds, cutting the soft ground into deep ruts and rendering it quite unfit for sports of any kind when it shall become dry. It seems almost impossible to keep people from destroying the fence in order to make a short cut, which saves them but a short distance. It seems to us that a fence should be built, strong and large enough to
to keep out all vehicles at least. The grounds were well taken care of during the fall; all the weeds were removed, and it would have been hard to have found better ball grounds in the state. If something is not done soon the Base Ball Association will be compelled to spend more money in rendering the grounds fit to be played upon, than would be required to repair the fence.
We suppose that all the students have taken advantage of the advent of the new year, and made solemn vows to reform and to give up petty vice; such as the use of tobacco in its various forms, penny-ante,—if any of them know what that is—and like sins. One can hardly keep back a sigh when he thinks how many good resolutions and high resolves he himself, or others, have made on former New Year days, and how these various resolutions have all resolved themselves into nothing, and either been forgotten or unfaithfully fulfilled. Yet, notwithstanding the fact that so many fail in their attempts to do better, let us at least try to improve our moral and physical natures, by casting aside any obnoxious habits which are detrimental to our advancement and disgusting to others. If we do not succeed, we may console ourselves somewhat with the thought that we have made an attempt towards doing that which was for the best.
ONE of the best local oratorian contests which will be held in the State, was that of Washburn College last Friday night. The oration gave evidence of much thought and careful preparation, and were delivered in a way that gave the speakers great credit. The winning oration by Mr. A. W. Brewster, entitled "Progress and Its Causes," while possessing the merit of a well written production, was delivered in that natural easy style, which captivates the audience, and wins the judge, K. S. U. can well rejoice that such an able man was selected; for the stronger the opponent the less humiliating the defeat, and the more glorious the victory.
Mr. Robert Stone was awarded second place on his oration, entitled "Our Republic." Despite the fact that he had a time worn topic Mr. Stone held the close attention of his hearers by his able arguments.
Mr. S. W. Naylor's oration on "The Puritan and the Cavalier in our National Life" was an excellent exposition of the influences of these two opposite factors in our "national life."
"Prohibition and the Prohibition Party," by C. P. Donnell, while handled in a creditable manner, was on too hackeyed a subject for a Kansas audience.
"Baron von Stein" an oration by S. B. Mayer, showed marked oratorical ability. It is difficult, however, to write a popular oration on the life of any one man, especially if he is a foreigner.
Taken all in all, Washburn can well feel proud of the showing she made in her sixth annual contest.
She has her face set hard towards first place at Emporia, and K. S. U. will have to "rustle" if she outstrips her sister college up the "Kaw" in the race.
It is with true feelings of regret that the Courier learns the intention of Prof. A.R. Marsh to resign the chair of English in the University, and to accept the assistant professorship of Belles Lettres in Harvard College.
The salary attached to this position is $2,500. It is not difficult to see how this appointment may eventually lead to the full chair, which at present is not filled. Longfellow and James Russell Lowell held this position at different times.
Before assuming this position of honor, Prof. Marsh will spend two years in Europe, adding to his already great knowledge of ancient and modern literature by visiting places, and examining manuscripts of the greatest interest to all the literary scholars.
The loss of one of the ablest and most thoroughly qualified professors that ever took charge of the department of English in this institution serves to being most forcibly and clearly before our minds the need of supplying means by which such men as Prof. Marsh, who is known throughout the United States as one of the most energetic, thorough and enthusiastic of literary workers, can be retained in the service of this institution. In the language of one of the professors; "The State can never expect to retain able instructors as long as the salaries paid the full chairs here fall $700 below those paid in other institutions for lower positions."
Surely, instances are not wanting to show the sad lack, which the faculty has petitioned the State Legislature to remedy, and which, if attended to before this time, as it should have been, would have saved us the loss of such men as Prof. Nichols, Springer and Williams.
Let us hope that the legislature may take steps to retain our professors of recognized ability, and insure for K. S. U. the excellent faculty which it has been our good fortune to have
Other professors have had positions offered them in eastern colleges, where their merit would have received its rightful reward, but confident of the future greatness of the University, to which they have always remained loyal, they have preferred to hold their respective positions in this institution rather than leave for "greener fields" in the east.

The sixth annual oratorical contest of K. S. U. will be held in the Opera house, January 23. It is needless to say that the house will be crowded. The program will be an excellent one, embracing as it will, the best speakers and the best musical talent of our University. The boys are exhibiting a commendable zeal for keeping up our reputation in oratory, and whoever wins the local contest here will represent Kansas in the Inter-State, without the shadow of a doubt.
Ar the Convention of Kansas Teachers at Topeka, the latter part of last month, some very interesting papers were read.
Among the most entertaining and by far the most interesting to college students, was a paper on "Jollege Fraternities, by Pref. J. E. Hoenshel of Holton. Among other things, the Professor said:
"Now, without argument, I lay down the proposition that students should be permitted to follow their own inclination in everything not morally wreng and not interfering with their legitimate work in school. If students want to organize political clubs, or even mugwm nap clubs, it is a matter of their own concern. If they want to join the Masons, or any other secret order, it is their own business. I am not here to discuss the right as to secret organizations in general, for as I am not a member, I know nothing about them; but one thing is certainly unquestioned—the names of some of the best men in the world, intellectually, morally and religiously, are found on the records of these societies."
After a few intermediate remarks be continued;
"We all know how dreary the old college life was to the boys who had always enjoyed the comforts and pleasures of home. To go from these to the bare walls of the class room the unacquired floors of the dormitory and the shy glance of the stranger, was almost like going to prison. Now all is changed. As soon as a new student arrives his acquaintance is cultivated, his peculiarities are watched and he is asked to become a member of one or half a dozen of these societies. Many of these fraternities own buildings or lodges in which home-like rooms are furnished to their members. No one can successfully deny the benefits of social culture to the student, and it is admitted, I believe, that these fraternities furnish good opportunities for social culture."
The Professor then went on to say; "Many of them are noted for their influence on the scholarship of the college with which they are connected. In them are often discussed topics of importance so the well-being of their alma mater."
In concluding he said: "I close by saying that the way to regulate or control these fraternities is for the members of the faculty to become members, and aid in their government or let them alone."

The Review came out last week and from a literary point of view it was a very creditable number. Its locals and persons were stale. This department of the Review would be much more highly appreciated if it would report only news concerning the alumni.
The Northwestern University has offered lots to the Greek letter fraternies that will put up chapter houses, and several are pearing to build. Ex.
E. C. Jacoby, editor of the Lane College Echoes, is the Lecompton correspondent of the Lawrence Tribune.
The Occident says: "The old story of the large telescope that is going to be built for the Stanford University is now going the rounds of the college press. Although we live quite close to the Stanford University, we have never yet heard of the telescope. We think that the 36-inch lenses of the Lick telescope of the University of California is still the largest in existence, and probably will remain so for many years to come.
A very interesting feature of the Illini is that it puts its "gush" articles in one column.

per." The writer says: "College journalism, as well as college secret societies, has grown to be no small factor in making, expressing and controlling the opinions of college students of the present day. A college at the present day without an official periodical of some kind is considered far behind the age in progress and culture. Even many high schools and academies edit and publish a paper of some kind. Harvard publishes a daily paper, others publish semi-weekly and weekly, but the great majority of college journals are published monthly."
What is wanted is a system of teaching in the rudiments of Journalism incorporated in the college curriculum as an elective, and the college paper made the means of instruction in practical work. This plan is already in practical operation in one college at least, and is working very successfully. In Cornell University the elements of newspaper work are made a part of the department of rhetoric.—Ex.

Everybody made a hit, especially Mr. Davis himself as Uncle Alvin Joslin, an old Vermont farmer.
There were four acts, and each act was crowded with taking scenes and tableaux. The dialogue was bright and witty, and kept the anti-nice in the greatest good humor. The story was well and crisply told, and the interest never flagged from the rising to the falling of the curtain."

The bad weather during the first part of the week was such as might appear to some poor "prep" to be an ill omen, and it might well fill his heart with fear and gloomy forebodings.
A change among the associate editors has been made on the Washburn Reporter, Mr. Ingalls resigning and Mr. John L. Poston taking his place.
Most of the professors held no recitations Tuesday, but allowed the students one day of grace in which to make ready for their victory or their Waterloo.

State Senator Moody has introduced senate bill No 27, which, if it becomes a law, will effect many needed changes in the University. Among other things it provides that all preparatory work at the University shall be abolished at the close of the current year. The bill meets the hearty approval of the faculty and the friends of the University, and it is confidently hoped that it will be passed with but little opposition.
Owing to the examinations, the Political science club will have no meeting this week.
Look at Otis' face the next time you see him.
The class in Freshman English is undergoing tortue this morning. There are about seventy students in this class and all seem confident of success. Let them have a care, as English examinations are not the easiest things in the world to cope with.
The different literary societies which meet to-night may expect a falling off in attendance, as some of the students who have examinations to-morrow will probably keep their rooms this evening.

At the meeting of Kent club last evening the following question was discussed: "Resolved; That the the study of law in a school is more beneficial than study in an office."
Science Club.
Owing to many other attractions, the attendance at the Science Club was not so good as usual, but what was lacking in number was made up in interest. Mr. Eames gave a very pleasing description of a visit to Iron Mountain in Michigan. The talk was particularly entertaining because Mr. Eames related it in his own characteristic manner. Mr. Radcliffe read a paper on the "Insulation of Wire Used in Electric Lighting." It was founded upon observations made in the physical laboratory upon five different wires, which were widely advertised as possessing unusual insulating qualities. The result of experiments proved to Mr. Radcliffe that these by no means reached the standard of resistance claimed for them.
Atheneum and Orophilian Joint Meeting.
In the Scientific Review, Mr. V. L. Kellogg spoke briefly of the missing link skull owned by the Natural History department; and then gave a long, entertaining and instructive talk on Bacteria. The club decided to hold their semi-annual on Friday, January 25th, 1889.
The joint program given by the two literary societies last Friday evening was one of the most interesting literary events of the year. The meeting was called to order in Athenaeum hall by President Hollinger. An oration by G. M. Culver was the first on the program, but was passed on account of the gentleman's absence. The audience then listened to a very interesting and original essay by Mr. H. White. By this time it became apparent that the hall would not hold half of the crowd which a great occasion and a clear night had called forth to listen to University eloquence; so, after a solo by Miss Anna March, the meeting adjourned to University hall. An oration was then delivered by E. M. Mumford on the subject; "Benjamin Harrison as a Man," after which it was proposed to carry out the music program, which had been interrupted by the adjournment to the chapel. Unfortunately for this, however, the musical apparatus of the chapel consisted solely of an organ, and it was found impossible to substitute that instrument for the piano. Miss March here came to the rescue with the novel suggestion that the audience fill in the gap by singing "My Country 'Tis of The." This met with immediate approval, the hymn books were passed around and everybody sang. At this juncture it began to look like chapel exercises, but the comparative size of the audience was enough to dispel the illusion. However this impromptu interlude seemed heartily appreciated, to judge by the rounds of applause which followed. We have omitted to speak of one piece on the program which should have been given before—a declamation by Miss Newlin on "Beautiful Snow." It was delivered in quite an expressive and graceful manner.
The best feature of the evening was the debate, in which the familiar subject of the opening of the Oklahoma country was argued by the Orophilians Ackley and Enns on the affirmative, who were opposed on the negative by Hall and Rice of Athenaeum. The debate was quite interesting, and showed careful study of the subject.
The only criticism we have to make on the program is that one or two of the speakers did not seem to have their parts well committed. This was unfortunate, but may easily have been due to their having to speak from the chapel platform instead of the familiar society hall.
On our part we are heartily glad to welcome back the old days of literary enthusiasm. Keep the ball rolling, stir up a lively interest in our literary societies, for this is the kind of practice that will help to keep up the University's old reputation for oratorical ability through the state.

The boys are congratulating themselves because of the warmth of the weather and the few snows—sleighrides—we have had. We advise them to save all their loose shekels, as a near change in the weather is almost certain.
Now is the time when the gay society young man keeps his room and by frequent applications of towels soaked in ice-cold water is enabled to study far into the night. Now is the time when the over-confident "prep." takes his first draught from experience's bitter cup, and comes forth from the room, which, a few moments before, he entered with a light, elastic step, with a far-away look in his eyes as if imploring some unseen deity to free him from all this pain and trouble, and with his feet dragging in a manner that would break the heart of any would-be tragedian.
Now is also the time when the over-bearing sophomore, the aristocratic junior, and the haughty senior over-ride the barriers which separate them from their friends of lower degree and haunted by a vague something, which tell of impending danger, seek to rid themselves of this phantom, by suddenly becoming exceedingly affable and polite to all his acquaintances, and condescending to converse even with a "prep."
EVERYONE is looking forward to the oratorical contest, not the local one in particular, but the state contest at Emporia.
It will be so soon after examinations that most of the students will do their best to rid themselves of all their long pent up gayety and superfluous energy by every means known to vigorous and enthusiastic collegians.
The trip to Baldwin will never be forgotten; not alone because of the success of our representative, but because of the celebration afterwards.
He who has never experienced it, can not surmise the feeling which one of a crowd of two or three hundred students, who are taking the town before them, is possessed of.
THE following is taken from the Kansas City Journal.
The Kansas University.
"In glancing back over the history of Kansas one finds many incidents of interest connected with the founding and growth of the State University. Amos A. Lawrence, who will ever be kindly remembered by the educational workers of Kansas, in 1856 wrote as follows to Cov. Geary:
'To secure the adoption in all parts of the territory of the best system of public schools seems to be desirable at this early day, and I have a plan to communicate to some one or two who have the leisure to attend to its execution. In the center of the continent there should be a model state which shall be an example to all, a model to those who come in hereafter and a stimulant to the old states to keep up a high standard of learning, virtue and patriotism.'
Soon after this Mr. Lawrence placed in the hands of Gov. Charles Robinson and Mr. E. C. Pomeroy, as trustees, $10,000 for educational purposes.
The Topeka constitution, which united and held firm the free state men, in its seventh article provided that 'the general assembly may take measures for the establishment of a university.' Under this clause the legislature in June, 1857, passed an act establishing a state university at Lawrence. Although this and other acts proved of no practical effect, it plainly showed, however, that the strongest and best men in the struggling territory recognized the importance of higher education as a part of the foundation of a new state
After the free state men became a majority in the territorial legislature, they passed an act in February, 1859, in reference to a university, and under this law an executive committee was appointed, consisting of the following: T. Dwight Thatcher, now a resident of Topeka; C. H. Branscome, who enjoys the distinction of
Later on, the same thought was expressed by the regents, when they said: 'The direct object of the university is to promote the welfare of the state.' And so, far beyond the Mississippi, in a section rent by civil strife, was established a principal which has ever since characterized the growth of Kansas.
being the leader of the first emigrant wagon to Lawrence; William Bishop, who was for several years county superintendent of Saline county; Charles Reynolds, afterwards chaplain at Fort Riley; James Blood, the first mayor of Lawrence, and Robert Morrow, who came to Kansas in 1856. Under this committee the university of Kansas was established under Presbyterian control. Not having sufficient funds to complete the building, a new organization was effected in 1861 under the name of the Lawrence University of Kansas. The control having passed into the hands of the Episcopal church funds were collected, and the building which had been begun on Mount Oread, and which has since been known as North College, was completed.
On the admission of Kansas as a state, the question of the location of the state university, free from sectarian control, was discussed. In 1863 the legislature took up the subject. As an inducement to locate the institution in this city, Lawrence offered the university that had already been founded; also the ten thousand dollars donated by Hon. Amos A. Lawrence. Governor Robinson promised to give a building site of forty acres. Emporia was striving for the location, and competition was sharp, but Lawrence was successful and the institution was located here.
In 1864 there was a bitter fight in the legislature over the plan for coeducation. It was, however, adopted by a small majority, and Kansas has the honor of being the first state to enter on this educational reform.
Dr. Wendell Holmes' "Boys."
NORBORNE, Wis.
In September, 1866, the state university was first opened, with three instructors and fifty-five students. The history of the institution since then is well known. There has been a steady growth. Under the chancellorships of Gen. Frazier and Dr.Marvin the institution has prospered, and under Dr. Lippincott it has continued to do so."
Answer.—Dr. Holmes, our readers must all know, is famous as a writer of college anniversary poems. One of the finest of these is his poem entitled "The Boys," which begins thus:
Tell us who were the characters referred to by Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes in his poem "The Boys." E.M.J.
"Has any old fellow got mixed with the boys?
If there has, turn him out without making a noise.
Hang the Almanac's chest and the Catalogue's spite;
In this poem he thus refers to some of his classmates, who had earned distinction in various walks of life:
Old Time is a liar! We're twenty to night!"
"We've a trick, we young fellows, you may have been told,
That boy we call 'Doctor',this one we call 'Judge';
Of talking in public as if we were old.
It's a neat little fiction—of course it's all fudge.
That fellow's the Speaker—the one on the right.
Mr. Mayor, my young one, how are you to-night?
That's our member of Congress, we say when we chaf.
That's the Reverend—what's his name?—don't make me laugh!
That boy with the grave, mathematical look,
Made believe he had written a wonderful book;
And chose him right in—a good joke it was, too.
And the Royal Society thought it was true,
There's a boy, we pretend, with, a three-decker brain.
That could harness a team with a logical chain,
When he spoke for our manhood in syllab- bleed fire,
We called him the 'Justice,' but now he's the 'Squire.'
And there's a nice youngster of excellent pith.
Fate tried to conceal him by calling him Smith.
But he shouted a song for the brave and the free;
Go read on his banner, 'My country, of thee.'
You hear that boy laughing, you think its all fun,
But the angels laugh, too, at the good he has done.
The children laugh loud as they troop at his call,
And the poor man that knows him laughs loudest of all."
These verses are rather puzzling, it must be admitted, to those who do not know to whom the clever allusions refer. They were all members of Holmes' class—the class of 1829 of Harvard college—and they presented a remarkable roll of talent for a single college class, as follows: The Doctor is Dr. Chandler Robbins; the Judge, Geo. T. Bigelow of the Supreme court; the Speaker, F. B. Crowninshield, Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representative n 1848; the Mayor, the Hon. Geo. W. Richardson, of Worcester; the Member of congress, Geo. T. Davis, of Greenfield; the Reverend, Jas. F. Clarke, of Boston; the mathematician, Prof. Pierce, of Harvard; the Squire, Benj. R. Curtis, of the Supreme Court; the "nice youngster," the Rev. S. F. Smith, author of "America;" the Rev. William H. Channing.
Pnilological Club.
Last Friday evening was given up to a Symposium on Recent Handbooks.
ions of the science, as well as the position and significance of its branches.
Prof. Wilcox spoke of the encyclopedia character of the times, the tendency to gather into a single publication the intellectual acquisitions of the past, and the necessity and advantages of such a tendency. The specialist is thus enabled to get a knowledge of the development of the great whole, as also of the separate branches of the science in which he is working but an insignificant plat; and the student is enabled to put himself abreast of the times in his chosen line without having to wade through the myriad monographs in all languages. These general works may be in the dictionary or alphabetic form, or in the more systematic form, where more attention is paid to the conception and divis-
Prof. Marsh spoke of the "Manuel de Philologie Classique" of Reinach, a book intended to set forth the fundamental principles of every line of classical philology, and show how and where to get the material for study. This Manuel is very much smaller than Muelher's Handbuch, and hence less full, and more of a guide than an exposition.
It is about one hundred years since F. A. Wolf delivered a course of lectures on the conception and contents, the relations and aims of the classical studies. So Dr. Iwan Mueller thought it a good time to gather together the results of the numerous workers before and after Wolf, and publish them in a systematic "Handbuch der Classichen Alterthumswissenschaft." This, w.e.n completed, will comprise eight large volumes with about six thousand pages in all. Our library is getting the volumes as fast as they appear. About two-thirds of the work are now out. Twenty-one different subjects are treated by twice as many different men, the Greek and Roman branch of each subject having a different author. The subjects are: The Fundamental Principles and History of Classical Philology, Exegesis and criticism, Palaeography, Epigraphy, The Calendar, Weights and Measures, Grammar, Lexicography, Rhetoric, Metric, Music, Geography, Topography, Political History, History of Literature, General Antiquities, Mathematics and Natural Science, Philosophy, Mythology, Art, The Theater.
Prof. Canfield spoke of two works, one completed and one in course of publication, which are intended to give a complete survey of the philology of the Romance languages. The first of these is a book especially designed for students who are beginning their special study of these languages, by Prof. G. Koerting, an "Encyclopædia of Romance Philology," with a treatise on the method of its study. The other is a more elaborate work, to which 29 of the best specialists contribute, under the editorship of Prof. Groeber, of Strasburg. This is to be completed in six parts, and will contain pretty much all that we at present know about the subjects to which it is devoted.
Mr. Dunlap spoke of Koerting's "Encyclopaedia and Methodologie der Englishen Philologie," which includes every important topic connected with the subject. Appended to each chapter is a discriminating bibliography. He spoke also of Prof. Cook's phamphlet on the Phonological Investigation of Old English, in which Prof. Cook lays down fifty problems carefully worked out, so as to show the main rules of English Phonology. The phamphlet is valuable as suggesting methods to the student.
Clarence Weed is detained at home, on account of the sickness of his father.

Kent Club.
Although a good many students were resting, and we fear a few were "gramming," for examinations today, a good number were present to hear the successful rendition of the following program by the Kent club last night:
Current Events... Spooner.
Current Decisions... Westcot.
Declaration... Finfrock.
Extemp. Speech... Harburger.
"... Workman.
Parliamentary Drill... Nelson.
Debate: "Does study in a law office, exclusively, better qualify a student for the practice of law than a course exclusively in a law school?" Affirmative, W. Herdman, C. E. Ems; Negative, Wayde, E. L. Ackley.
Prof. Blake will to-night deliver a lecture in the studio on "Illusions in Art." The lecture will begin at the usual time, 7:80, and all are invited to attend. All those who have heard Prof. Blake will not fail to be present, as he always makes his discussions interesting.
The boys who have all their "exams" this week are preparing to have a good time and to rest in ease next week, while the afternoon classes are taking their examinations.
The following is taken from the State Journal:
Mr. Poe, of Butler, who has been holding in the fiery steeds of his intellect, to-day urged to the front and "let her go Gallagher" with the following resolution, which was received with a wild burst of applause by the house:
WHEREAS, The people of the state of Kansas have decided by a majority of eighty thousand that they are in favor of protection to American industries, and are opposed to the doctrine of British free trade, therefore be it
Resolved, That the committee on state affairs be directed to ascertain and report at as early a day as possible, whether it is a fact that the British doctrine of free trade is taught at the State University at Lawrence, and by whom, and that they report by bill, or otherwise, what, if any, legislation is necessary to abolish the English titles of "Lord Chancellor," "Dean" and "Regents, or "rulers" in the absence of a king, and substitute in lieu thereof the American titles of "Professors" and "Trustees" for the officers of said institution and all other state institutions of the state of Kansas, to whom British titles are given by the laws of this state.

Every student of K. S. U. should be heartily in earnest for the success of our gymnasium project. The other departments of the University have asked for adequate appropriations, and have had their best arguments presented. That is well and good, but what's the matter with us?
Our Gymnasium.
Here is a department totally unorganized and unquestionably necessary. Every student knows that without proper physical exercise he can not do the best grade of work and keep up his physical and mental health. The exercise which students take here is very irregular; and systematic exercise, which all ought to take, is not to be had. There is just as much use and as much sense in spending one-half hour daily in scientific physical training as in spending hours a day on the science of Geology, or the study of a dead language. Will any one dispute this? And would any professor be proud to think of a university where Geology and Greek are not taught?
A gymnasium would come nearer to supplying the needs of the whole than any other thing asked for. It would be a positive benefit to every department. It would give better lessons and better attendance, and more vigor to every student. It would give as much dignity and attraction to K. S. U. as twice the requisite appropriation in any other department.
This is a students' cause, and let every student work for it. Its success will be every professor's satisfaction. What is the use of a student's studying for life and death—and often the latter, and yet having so little knowledge as not to know that he would feel better, and know more with two-thirds the same amount of study and one-half hour's daily exercise in a well equipped gymnasium? Can't every student stir himself? Can't he write his legislator and give in his plea? The legislators certainly know that the University is established partly for the welfare of the students, and if they see that we are in earnest and that our request is a necessity, we can have good hopes of their generosity.

Engagement of Rentfrow's Jolly Pathfinders with their own Uniformed Band and superb orchestra of solo artists and the wonderful little artist, Master Frankie Jones. In repertoire of choice and original comedies.
Monday night, "Scraps;" Tuesday night, "Six Peas in a Pod;" Wednesday night, "Fun by Express;" Thursday night, "Doncaster Station;" Friday night, "Pair of Owls;" Saturday matinee, "Just for Fun;" Saturday night, "Fast Mail."
The Wheeling (W. Va.) Register says of the company: "The performance given by Rentfrow's Jolly Pathfinders at the Academy of Music last night was superb. The comedy 'Scraps' bristles with bright witticisms and sparkling, catching, musical gems that literally took the large and enthusiastic audience by storm. The company as a whole is probably the finest of its kind that ever visited this city. Master Frankie Jones is the greatest juvenile female impersonator that ever appeared before a Wheeling audience, and he had to respond to not less than a dozen encounters during the evening's performance. Miss Dot Seville, and Messrs, F. E. Haney and James F. Gree are a host in themselves, and kept the audience in a perfect uproar of mirth. The performance throughout is chaste and elegant and calculated to suit the tastes of the most refined and cultured lady. Once seated in the auditorium, you enjoy a succession of hearty laughs from the rising to the lowering of the curtain."
Exchanges.
This week finds the Volante on our table. This is a carefully edited paper published by the students of the University of Dakota. The editor-in-chief is a young lady, and judging this copy by copies of other college papers one is forced to believe that a change for the better might be made if the number of lady editors were increased.

On the same pages appears an oration delivered by L. R. Wilfley, winner at the state inter-collegiate contest held in Columbia, Mo., May 31 1888. Strange as it may seem a comparison of these orations shows them to be nearly the same, word for word.

We haven't noticed any articles yet concerning the abolishment of the examination system in the University. What's the matter? Anything wrong?
THERE has been some trouble in the medical department of the University of New York because the faculty refused to promote a certain professor to the class of anatomy, which was vacant. Out of the ninety-one medical students eighty-six resigned in a body, leaving only five stu dents in the department.
The students are plunging into the enjoyments of society with renewed vigor. They seem to be seeking some satisfaction after their efforts during the present examinations. Those who have passed with good grades, and we think there are few that did not, may well rejoice. The term examinations are to many what the snow-topped Alps are to the mountain climber. One cannot fail to notice the decrease in members in some of the preparatory classes. We think, however, that the average standing of the students is much better this year than last, and that the number who "flunked" is even smaller than it has been heretofore, which is saying a great deal.
Christmas in Dixie Land.
Christmas in Dixie Land. About the time that some of my friends in K. S. U. were waxing merry at the weary dragging of Time, I began to change my opinion of Southern girls. No event turns so many good looking girls loose on an unsuspecting innocent community of railroad men, as Christmas vacation. For several days trunks were numerous and the dear girls and dudish boys more so, for all the Texas schools were out, and we happen to be at a place where nearly everyone has to change cars to get anywhere he or she wants to go—Yes, not only has to change but also to wait about three or four hours. We had some nice chances to gaze on the girls, and in some instances wickedly got acquainted and had pleasant chats with the better looking ones.
On the evening of the 24th of December I found that I had a little work to do in the Western part of the State, so at 8 p. m. I got into a delapidated old chair car, which is now doing good service as a first-class car, its days of usefulness as a smoker being over in the North
Before leaving here I noticed that the natives had commenced celebrating. On the way I found that the celebation was general. At each station, as the train slowed up, it was saluted with volleys of revolver shots and yells—good old "Reb" yells, and the population on the cars was increased by the "boys" in top boots and broad-brimmed hats, who were going home to the folks. Sleep was impossible until near midnight when rain drove the noisily inclined into the saloons.
At dawn I found myself in the depot at San Angelo. A driving rain was falling—no show of getting to town but one muddy old "bus", which was filled to over flowing. A fight on the platform and a couple of shots from one of the pugilists made room in the bus and I got in and rode to town.
Some counties in the South are named after citizens, and, lest the man be forgotten, his whole name is given. San Angelo is the county seat of Tom Green County, the largest county (in territory, not population) in Texas. It is in the extreme Western part of the State on the Concho river. By noon on Christmas day I had "taken in the town."
Angelo is quite a pretty place, on level plains. The Court House is a handsome building of modern style. A large number of good business buildings and neat residences give it he air of a Northern city, in some quarters. A sudden turn from the main street brought me into the Mexican quarter. Low adobe houses and swarms of swarthy, dark-eyed children; men who looked, every inch of them, brigands; handsome young women, ugly old ones; such are the Mexicans. Dirty and ignorant, and far from being good citizens of the Republic.
It seems to me as I look over the town, that it was the ambition of every man to be drunk. Fights were in progress everywhere in front
of the saloons. Crackers were being shot by the small boys, revolvers by larger ones and all in all it was far from such a Christmas as I enjoy or am accustomed to. No one seems to recall the reason for celebrating the day. If it had any more sacred meaning for any, than that it was a holiday—those few stayed at home, and left the town to the revellers.
In the afternoon, after a big dinner, and a good one, too, I went to old Fort Concho. The change was marvelous. The old military post was quiet as the grave. The sentinels paced slowly on their beats and one gray-haired Lieutenant was busy counting the boards on his veranda. The only break in the silence was the sweet music of the band. Fort Concho has been nearly deserted, but at one time it was an important post. Its buildings are extensive and substantially built of native stone. The officers quarters are quite handsome old buildings of the style of years gone by. I do not think that life would be very pleasant there on account of the extreme quiet and monotony. Still, such is army life at its best. The day wore on all too quickly, and I hardly realized that one more Christmas was past.
On the morning of the 26th I started back and had a whole day on the train. I was enabled to see a good deal of the State in my three hundred miles ride. The Western half is quite mountainous. After crossing the Colorado river the country is beautiful; for miles we ran down the valley, or rather along the edge of the hills in full view of the valley. The country is dotted with clumps of trees, whose bright green foliage little betoken winter.
Passing several live towns we entered a country which will never amount to much except for grazing. Rocks everywhere—rocks, scrub oak and cactus, principally cactus. The line here is marked by dead cattle. Texas cattle have a penchant for crossing the track in front of engines, a fact which often brings them to grief.
At Lampasas Springs, we began to find heavy timber, and along the Leon Valley could be seen mile after mile of heavy forest. Large oak and cypress trees, festooned with long moss, here and there a smooth boled sycamore, and then clumps of pine. A Southern forest is certainly very beautiful to ride through after a road is built, but undoubtedly a source of much profanity to the builders. At last we began to near home, and my Christmas jaunt was ended. On the whole I can say of Western Texas, that whatever its future, it is beautiful to look at. As a grazing country it is, and always will be good; but not much of the land will be open to agriculture for a long while. There is too much good land elsewhere, and the fineries of this State are too tempting for many men of means to settle here with a view to agriculture. The only hope of these Southern States is in being settled by men who have Northern money and Northern energy. Oh! whisper it not here, that I hold such views. I am a Northern "Yank" now, and am blacklisted already. I would be ordered out for such a sentiment. Such, however, is the fact. The class of people who settle a new country need to have energy, pluck, endurance. These the Southern people lack. If we ever have a progressive State here, it will be because it is made by brainy men from the far North. I do not believe in maintaining the old ante-bellum lines. Let us all work to prove a nation with a big N. But we must have a mixture. This State is fifty years behind in matters o education, religion, politics, business. It is big enough and fertile enought for a great nation. I hope that the day will come when the farmers and the merchants will take the place of the greaser, the cowboy and the whisky vender. Then the Sunny South will be worth seeing, and the pilgrim need not carry a six shooter as a pocket companion. There are civilized places here, good cities and good counting districts, but alas! there is too much ruffianism left, so much that it taints the name of the State. Some day, however, this will be changed. Then the "Lone Star" State will be bright and glorious light in our national galaxy.

Pharmacy Notes.
The Pharmacy department now has three young ladies enrolled. More than any other Pharmacy school in the United States. It is an assumed fact that more white shirts, collars and cuffs will be worn by students in that department in the future than heretofore.
Many of the junior Pharmacy proved themselves not of Roman descent in Prof Bobinson's latest quiz on Latin.
The first term exams have passed away and now the drug apprentices will collect their worldly possessions into a bandans and seek economy, knowledge and industry in the most quiet retreats of Lawrence. They will be wanted again in June.
The freshman Chemistry class have invaded the sacred precincts of Pharmacy headquarters.

The latest addition to the library is the first volume of the new dictionary, containing all words commencing with the letters A and B.
Some of the young ladies are indebted to the liberality and kindness of heart of the Times officers for little souvenirs in the shape of shares of stock in that organ. We presume that these are some of the "shares not taken which will be immediately put on sale."

His remains will be interred in the

his barb brethren and owing to the
active part he has always taken in
their affairs his place cannot be filled
and the sympathy of all the students
goes out to that much bereaved

The Phi Psis and their lady friends enjoyed an informal hop in their hall last Wednesday evening. The evening was pleasantly spent in conversation and dancing. Those present were: Misses Anna Barker, Agnes Love, Helen Webbe , Lou Barker, Alice Penfield, of Fairmont, Etta Hadley, Mame Henshaw, Emma White, Gussie Price, Hattie McCague, Nell Griffith, Mame Lyons, Mrs. Miller of Topeka; Messrs. Brewster, Elson, Armstrong, Snow, Chas. Spencer, Swope, Hadley, Robinson, Gilmore, Will Spencer, Shellabarger, Mushursh, Deverell, Wright, Callahan.
The class in Zoology, under Prof. Snow, met for the first time yesterday morning. The class meets at present in the corner room in the Natural History building but it will probably have to meet in the lecture room when all the students who contemplate taking this study come in. The class numbers at present twenty-eight, five young ladies and twenty-three gentlemen. It is composed of a motly crew of Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores, and we may expect great things of a class composed of such material. The text-book in use is Ortons' Comparative Zoology, and before the end of the term Jordon's Manuel of the Vertebrates will be taken up.

The Oratorical Contest.
No larger or more enthusiastic audience of students and friends of the University ever assembled in University hall than that which gathered last Tuesday evening to witness the local oratorical contest. Five of our most eloquent speakers were contestants for the honor of being the representative of K. S. U., and let it be said to the credit of all that each handled his subject so ably and forcibly as to make the result of the contest exceedingly doubtful in the minds of the audience.
After the invocation by Rev. R.A. George, a piano solo was rendered with pleasing effect by Mr. Manning.
The first orator of the evening, Mr. C. E. Street, had for his subject the "Cynic in American Politics." He held the view, that in spite of the forces operating to corrupt our national politics, the mass of the people is true to the standard of honesty and justice, and that right will triumph in the end. Mr. Street seemed to be quite ac home on the platform and created a good impression.
Prof. Snow, who presided with dignity over the exercises, introduced as the next speaker, Mr. A. D. Kennedy, who had for his subject "immigration." This subject, though somewhat old, was handled in quite an interesting manner.
Miss Georgia Brown then favored the audience with a vocal solo, in her usual charming manner.
Mr. F. E. Reed then spoke on the subject "Limited Immigration. This oration which showed careful study was delivered with force and earnestness and created considerable enthusiasm. Mr. Reed is an eloquent and experienced speaker and last Tuesday evening clearly demonstrated his ability to hold the attention and gain the sympathy of his audience.
Mr. J. A. Mushrush then took the platform and discussed the "Race Problem." He treated his topic in an able and intensely interesting manner; many new phases of the question being brought forward, and the audience was greatly impressed by the forcible and convincing style in which they were presented. His ease and dignity were particularly noticeable while the force and eloquence of his delivery gave rise to a strong sentiment among the audience that his should not have been lower than second place.
The University Mandolin Club consisting of Messrs. Swope, Grubb Collins, Fred and Jus Bowersock rendered a beautiful selection which was heartily enced.
The last orator of the evening, Mr. G. M. Culver then spoke on "Growth." He treated his subject ably and comprehensively; and the deep thought and study which he had expended on his oration was plainly manifested.
A piano solo was then given by Miss Nellie Franklin, after which, while the audience was waiting in eager expectation for the decision of the judges, they listened to a number of c assalss selections by the popular Mandolin Club.
The judges, Messrs. J. Q. A. Norton, S. O. Thacher and Col. O. E. Learnard, announced by the president of the evening, Prof. F. H. Snow, that the first and second places were awarded to Messrs. F. E. Reed and C. M. Culver respectively. The decision, though a surprise to the audience, was doubtless a just one. The audience then dispersed, each one ready to support the chosen representative of K. S. U. in the State Contest at Emporia.
Notice has been posted on the bulletin board for a students' meeting this evening between 7 and 8. The purpose of the meeting is to sing college songs, regular old fashioned, breakdown songs, such as other college students enjoy so much. It remains entirely with the students, however, to make the undertaking a success. All that is required is that plenty of students shall come with a little enthusiasm in the matter. The title of the book to be used is "College Songs." They will be found in the hall. Each costs 50c. If the students will bring the money with

Bowersock Opera House.
"THE BUCKEYE."
"The Buckeye" is the title of the new play in which charming Lizzie Evans will delight her audience at Bowersock Opera House Tuesday night. This play comes highly recommended as being the very best in Miss Evar's repertoire, and at present it is being played at Pope's theatre, St. Louis, to crowded houses. "The Buckeye" is named after an old country tavern in the State of Ohio, where most of the scenes in the comedy occur. It is a quaint picture of Ohio life, in 4 acts, and was originally the property of Denman Thompson, from whom it was purchased by Miss Evans. The play is bright and sparkling in its language, and thoroughly natural withal, and the climaxes that close the acts are said to be remarkably effective. Miss Evans has the support of an unusually strong company this season, prominent among whom are Wm. N. Griffith, Harry Wilson, Donald Harold, Percy Plunket, Miss Mae Wentworth, Miss Ida Rohinson and others. During the performance Miss Evans will introduce several new songs, dances, medleys, etc., which are quite a feature.
Young ladies have a good influence over young men as regards their apparel. Whit Miles is now wearing a derby and a white shirt.
