In spite of vacation, held a meeting last Saturday night. Of course the meeting was not so well attended as it is at other times, but it speaks well for this new society that it is already so popular that it can draw an audience when others will not try to materialize.

The Literary at the Business College of this city was very well attended last Friday night, being open to the public. Many could not be seated for want of room. Great interest was manifested. A considerable number of our boys were present, intent on making mashes on the Business College girls, as we understand that the College boys are not adepts in that art. The program was very well rendered, indeed; the paper being especially interesting, although a number of rude or mischievous young men, or rather not men, but persons kept the back part of the room in a continual clatter, which was finally quelled by the president and Prof Stotier. Prof Stotier gave a speech in commemoration of the birthday of Washington, which was enjoyed by all present. We were pleased to notice among the band and quartette some of the students of K. S. U.
In conclusion we would say that the literaries of the University could be improved on by introducing some more enlivening features than merely debates. If we had less of debate and more of singing and other literary work, it would help us create greater interest in our literaries, especially would they be more interesting to the young ladies, and we would doubtless have a greater attendance.

It is said that a Philadelphia soap dealer advertises exclusively in newspapers on the ground that only those who read the papers use that article.
Owing to a change in place of printing we are obliged to break the record of promptness which the TIMES has heretofore maintained.
Through an oversight, notice of the February number of the Review failed to appear in our last issue. The well edited editorial pages and the novel items of the "Month" call for special mention. As a college monthly and literary magazine the Review stands in the front rank.
Another volume has been placed upon the "Kansas shelf," in our library during the past week. This time it is "Kansas Miscellanies," which have formed a theme for our talented Kansan, Noble Prentis. All may be assured of finding this little volume brim full of interesting matter of a type only to be found in "A Kansan Abroad" and other works of the author. In the near future we
hope to give our readers a resume of this volume which is now being prepared at the request of the author.
Is It Consistent.
The TIMES company issues fifty shares and all paid up subscribers can vote in the election of all editors and officers except the business managers who are elected by the stockholders. This we claim to be upon a democratic basis.
The oratorical association of the students of K. S. U. issues fifty shares and all collegiate students can vote in electing all officers. This we claim to be consistent with a democratic principle.
The Courier company issues fifty shares (a majority always being held by two factions) and only share holders can vote for any editors or officers. How is this for inconsistency? Pay your money and take your choice.
we are apt to deplore the fact that two or three times a year the young men of the University become absorbed in college politics. Recitations are either cut or are poorly prepared. If a few neglected lessons were the only evil results, I believe no great prejudice would have grown up against college politics. There is, however, another and more serious evil connected, not with college politics alone, but with all politics. The young men pledge votes; trade votes; and, as they term it, secure votes, and even in emergencies persuade the unsuspecting ladies to recognize the justness of their combination. All this, I admit, is to the discredit of the young men and the University; but this is only our view of the subject. These young men are, or soon will be voters. Unfortunately they go into the world in a year or two to meet a worse state of political life on a larger scale. The inexperienced are very apt to take, without question, the words and council of politicians who have been for some time in the harness. To a typical American politician a man is a vote. Now if a young man is a social, popular fellow, or if he is ambitions for a reputation, he almost invariably enters politics. How he is elected the first time he hardly knows. He may blush a little when he afterward hears the election talked over by the leaders. The leaders, however, seem to think all means legitimate, and our young politian, excusing himself to his conscience on account of his inexperience, is led by his elders step by step into political corruption, from which he seldom afterwards retreats.
If, however, the young man begins his political career among those of his own age and ability, he will be less timid in following the better promptings of his own true nature. He will learn early to read human nature and to measure human strength. While he is learning political trickery he will learn political honor, for the opposing combination will busy itself in disclosing all dishonor not its own. What is the result of this experience? Each young man will enter the world with some ideas of political honor. The office-holding ambition of many young men will have been satisfied and they will enter the world simply as intelligent voters. Others are born politicians and would have entered political life anyway sooner or later. In college young men have matched their skill with their equals, and by close rivalry they have not learned scheming alone, but they also have learned, that a man is never so truly a man as when he is fighting for a righteous cause.
The seniors of the law department celebrated Washington's birthday Friday afternoon. The patriotism and enthusiasm of that worthy body stands unprecedented. Mr. Stebbins in a stirring oration vowed that he would always stick to his country and his friends as closely as a nigger's shirt sticks to a nigerer's back. Mr. Finfrock, catching the spirit of patriotism, announced his intention to suppress his peculiar matrimonial tendencies for one day in order to appropriately solemnize the great day of Washington. Such a heroic example of self-denial could not but set the whole congregation afire, as the chairs, and the overshoes and the mats may well testify. Carpets soon came rolling in from all floors to witness the magnificent exercises. "The room of celebration must be decorated!" There was a general rush into all the halls and rooms to respond to the call of this imperative duty. But at this moment an unpleasant incident occurred, Mr. Enns, a Russian, one wholly incapable of understanding the great principals of the Revolution, locked the door and tried to escape with the key. But the American spirit can never be put down in this way, ten or twelve strong fish siezed the traitor and compelled him to give up the key. After this the torrent of enthusiasm raged undisturbed. Gathered around a fine new desk with hymn books in hand, all lovers of liberty poured forth in rapture, "My Country 'tis of Thee," while Henry Clay looked down upon them with a large smile on his large mouth, and Wm. Shakespeare congratulated himself on having been rescued from the sickly pallor of collegiate mummies, and finding himself in the inspiring company of living men with strong passions and irrepressible energy. There is no joy on this earth that has not some bitter mixed with it, and so you could see the great military William of Germany look down with favor upon happy company below, and Monday following you could see Mr. Crocker look down with a frown to the same company now restored to natural life again. Indeed all human joys are short lived. Shakespeare has left us again, Clay has left us, the carpets, desks and pictures have been carried away, nothing remains but sweet remembrance and two pictures presented to the law department by the kindness of Miss Watson. Many thanks. Please give us a desk too.
If you anticipate entering the oratorical contest next year you will do well to peruse an article which lately appeared to the length of a column and a half in the editorial department of the Newton Republican, for if our friend Norton should ever be selected as judge in the state contest it is evident that such pessimistic articles as some which predominated in the recent contest would be severely cut if not entirely disfigured at his hands.
One might infer from the unmerciful manner in which he criticised their disquisitions on foreign immigration that he was fearful lest he, together with all of his friends hailing directly or indirectly from the Emerald Isle, should soon be deprived of citizenship, or else forever banished from this land, if such sentiments were allowed to go unchallenged.
He waxes warm and grows eloquent in deprecating the fact that five out of the six orations delivered in the contest were merely tyrades against the existing status of national affairs and bore almost entirely on the dark side of our political and social system. While we believe that to some extent such harsh criticism was prompted by the feeling that somebody put tar on the Irishman, "yet there was method in it" and the coming orator will do well to take some time for deliberation before selecting his theme.
Spurred on by the defeat the Ottawa Campus urges the would be orators of Ottawa University to begin at once to prepare their orations for next year's contest. It is a good suggestion and one that our orators should heed.
No one need expect to carry off the honors of our contest without the most diligent study of their theme and constant practice for months, not weeks. It is safe to say that none of our orators in the local contest had given more than three or four weeks to their preparation and practice—some even much less. To this fact principally we can attribute our defeat. It was only after having taken part in eight local contests and one state contest that Mr. Brewster succeeded in capturing the first honor. When we remember these we sometimes long for the old system of prize contests, for it was in these that our Leachs and Crane gained that polish and experience which led them on to victory. But we still have our literaries for laboratories, and there is no reason why K. S. U's. orator should not represent Kansas in the next year's Inter State. Then boys get to work, select your theme and during the summer vacation if need be shear one side of your head and like Demosthenes of old, retire to a cave never to come fourth till all impediments and shortcomings shall have been overcome.
Sen. Moody's efforts in behalf of the State University were crowned with success last evening when the senate with but one opposing vote adopted the report of the conference committee with reference to a disagreement between the two houses. It is now in order for the university to place the promised wreath of laurel on the brow of the senator from Linn. —Capital-Commonwealth.
Yes, Senator Moody will always be remembered as a staunch friend of the university. It is through his untiring efforts that we can to-day congratulate ourselves upon the fact that for a time at least our institution will not be at the mercy of the unscrupulous politician.
Altogether Kansas claims to take a leading part in putting women on an equality with men, the members of the Law Department of the Kansas State University have so far represented only the male sex. The young
ladies of this state are certainly more timid than their sisters in Michigan, where twenty-four women graduated as lawyers from the university.—K. C.Journal.
To-morrow the noisy band of legislators will be turned out of their feathered nest to return to their constituents and tell in wonderous words of the deeds they have done in the last few weeks.
What have they actually accomplished? To be sure they have gone over the whole field—resurrected all the dead bills that former legislators had discussed pro and con and decided to be worthless and inexpedient. They have investigated the beef combine and found the rumors to be groundless and they have put in their time and voted appropriations to pay their own salaries, which if advanced on the European plan would have been stopped some time since.
All this they have done and very little more. They have made liberal appropriations for charitable institutions, but have neglected, and in some instances sadly neglected, state institutions, the upbuilding of which tends to lessen the necessity for those of the former class. In the cases of the State Normal and Agricultural college the near-sighted parsimony is most noticeable. For these they appropriate barely enough for the running expenses.
Toward our own University, the best institution of learning in the west, they have been a trifle more lenient, although far from liberal. A large part of those, who some choose to denote as our Kansas Solons, seem to have been especially interested in securing the passage of some "pet" bill and were willing to sacrifice the public good for personal or local gain.
As long as such men represent our people what dependence can be placed in the fairness and impartiality of our laws and appropriations? Happy we may well be to have secured the attention of that body during one of the few intervals when their better judgment held sway and secured the passage of Mr. Moody's bill.
Such motives undoubtedly prompted the vituperations of that well known Jay and called forth the unreasonable statement that during his entire college course he had never been inside the college library.
The S. S. S. Club were most excellently entertained at the residence of Mr. Riggs in south Lawrence, last Tuesday evening. Progressive euchre was the order of the evening. At the proper time the card playing ceased, and all partook of an elegant lunch, after which amusements were again resumed for a short time. Earl Smith and Miss Allie Mason took first honors, while Mr. Collins and Miss Earl succeeded in capturing the "boobys" Everyone on departing declared Mr. and Mrs. Riggs princely entertainers.
Art Lecture.
Mrs Peter Emery will lecture in the Art Room to-night, on the Madrid Gallery. This lecture will be followed by one by Mrs. Sophia Grubb. The instructors in Art have earnestly endeavored to make the course of Art lectures a success, and it is to be hoped that all who feel interested in Art will show their appreciation of these labors by being present at the lectures.

An Open Letter.
To J. A. M.
There is a time when patience ceases to be a virtue. In last week's Courier, under the significant heading, "How It Was Done," you inflicted upon a long suffering public a fabulous and tiresome thesis, upon a subject which has for many weeks smelt of decay.
For this reason I have directed these few lines personally to you, so that the reading public may be spared the weariness of hearing anything further concerning this unpleasant matter. For certainly no one will take the liberty to read our private correspondence. In the article above referred to, you so far forgot yourself as an Editor-in-chief of a college paper, that you stooped to personalities, abuse and disgraceful ephiphets, such as would put to shame the ordinary country editor, even in the most heated political campaign. Your wrath seemed especially severe against one whom you have seen fit to denominate as a "traitor," whose credentials as a delegate were "made up," who performed "the most disgraceful act of the entire proceedings," and who "deserves the obloquy and disgrace of Benedict Arnold." This is indeed severe. In your love for heavy words you rival Samuel Johnson, and in your eagerness for the truth you are a worthy peer of Baron Maunchausen.
Yet I am not surprised, that you have posed yourself as a moral Critic and Advisor. For it is an old and well known fact, that if you wish to learn the secret of money-making, go to some poor vagabond and he will tell you just how to become rich. Old maids can give you the most excellent advice about matrimony. Any bald-headed man can tell you just how to take care of your hair. Adam Smith who preached the doctrine of finance to the whole world could not make his own household expenses meet. And so considering these things, I say again, I am not surprised that you should be so free with your opinions upon morality, honesty, etc.
I am glad to know that you "have always had a great regard" for me. I can return the compliment. All through the past few months, though differing with you many times and in many things, yet you have always had my hearty sympathy. And even upon that eventful night in October when the book was transferred and you like Tantalus called piteously out for water, I assure you that had I been there I would have been the first to assist you. Again after working and planning for months to be elected a delegate to the Inter-State, and then to be disappointed, it is too bad. I sympathize with you, but then we must all learn the lesson—
"That the best laid plans of mice and men Gang aft aile,"
Gang aft agley,'
against your fellow students, and your spirit of arrogance—“I am holier than thou.” You know that you have been defeated in an honorable political contest. You know that no promises have been broken and no trusts abused. Then why not say so? I realize the defeat you have sustained, your great disappointment, and all that, but this is no cause for abuse. You know that it was done fairly and squarely. Then how much more becoming it would be for you to say so. How much better for yourself and your innocent followers to accept the inevitable like a man, and not whine about it like a child.
I admire your talent as a student your laudable ambition for office, and your many personal characteristics. So in our regard for each other, I believe "honors are easy." But even with this personal admiration, I do protest against your careless manner of distorting facts, your perseverance in hurling the words "traitor," "dishonorable," etc.,
But if you are to persevere in whining, if you intend to amuse yourself for the coming few weeks in making false charges and accusations I ask you as a personal favor not to "add insult to injury" by saying of any one that "he was doubtless compelled to the course he took by his associates.
As for myself I do not wish to lay the responsibility of any of my acts upon any "associates or associations." As long as I am permitted to remain outside of the"asylum for the feeble minded" and like institutions, I wish to be considered wholly responsible.
You say Reed, Kellogg and Beau broke their promises made before the Faculty committee. No one ever uttered one word of complaint against the decision, but all heartily joined in acquiescence, as we promised to do. But we never promised to abide by the result of a meeting in which no quorum was present, in which we were refused recognition and all parliamentary law was trampled under foot. For this reason Mr. Horton's seat was contested. The facts were placed before the ten unprejudiced delegates of the other colleges, and Mr. Horton received but three votes. The delegates decided that Mr. Horton did not have credentials signed "by the President and Secretary of the local association" and also that the other credentials were not "made up," as you charge. Now would it be blasphemy if, upon this subject, I should accept the opinion of ten unprejudiced men in place of yours? If not, I will do so
But how about "the most disgraceful act" which "was yet to come?" Why do we "mert the obloquy and disgrace of a Benedict Arnold?"
It is the duty of a representative to represent those who elected him. Those who delegated me to Emporia believed that the new association was formed upon a broader and higher basis than the old association. They believed that thirteen students should not be allowed to dictate to four hundred. They wished to see the new association recognized. I believed and thought the same, and although my vote was not necessary it was with pleasure that I cast it, and helped perform the act of "kicking the old association out of existence." But you say that the majority of the old association did not wish to be kicked. That we admit. But it is nevertheless the duty of a representative to represent those who elected him, even if the majority is on the other side. Since you have done me the honor to compare with such a historical figure, pardon me for
taking a distinguished personage as an illustration :
Benjamin Harrison was elected president of the United States by men who believed in what is called protection. Yet the majority of the people, by about one hundred thousand, expressed an opinion that they had already had too much protection. Now, according to your deep logic, if President Harrison carries out the platform on which he was elected, when he knows the majority of the people are opposed to it, why he is a Benedict Arnold. See! My friend of mushy tendencies, do you catch the idea?
The fact is, in plain language we took advantage of your blunders and beat you. We defeated you, not because we were more skilled in "working" the delegates, but because we had justice and the whole student body with us. Now what is the use of crying over this old spilled clabber? Let us all join hands around the "Students Association." You have called us "Arnolds" and "traitors," and everything else, but we know how you were feeling. We will forgive you this time if you will not let it happen again. You have been guilty of plagiarism, so it is said, and that it was plagiarism in its worst form; that you not only copied from the book but took book, binding and all.
But we will forgive you for this, too. And now my dear friend, as everyone ought to know by this time just "How it was done," are you willing to call time on such twaddle? Or will you continue to play in the role of a martyr? If your pencil is not moved by pure maliciousness, it is pushed by a weak and deluded mind, wishing to gain sympathy and pity. Let us hope it is the latter.
But remember that a man once cut off his nose in order that he might receive the sympathy of his friends, and he received it. Are you not performing the same operation?
Please accept these few words in the same spirit in which they have been written. Very respectfully,
BE
EDITOR OF THE TIMES :— I beg leave for space enough in your paper to say a few words to whom it may concern.
While I was reading in the library last Saturday morning, one of our prominent collegiate students stepped in to show a friend through our storehouse of knowledge. His guideship did very well until he came to the congressional records, public documents, etc., which fill the north end of the corridor that opens into the library. Here, said the student, is our law library. A titter and a smile passed over the faces of the students present, and a hearty laugh followed the exit of the visitors.
This might seem to be an exception; but not fifteen minutes later a full fledged professor, in company with several distinguished gentlemen, followed suit and made the same mistake.
Exchange Notes.
When a freshman doesn't hear plainly the professor's question, he says in a subdued voice, "Pardon me professor, but I did not understand you." The sophomore says, "Will you please repeat your question?" The junior says, "What Sir?" The senior says, "Huh?"—Collerian.
To be sure visitors are none the wiser; but for the enlightenment of our uniformed daily attendants at the University, we would say that all works belonging to the Law Department are wholly set apart from the general library, and are kept in room No. 8, known as the law room.
The University of Virginia has about 450 students.

The University Times of the Kansas State University is apparently no longer an experiment. It is evident that K. S. U. has not a sufficiently large heart to divide affection between two weekly college papers, and the Times course does not seem to be altogether a way of pleasantness, but we must say Mr. Times, that your paper possesses the merit of showing pluck, enterprise and real worth and we are on your list of friends.—Ottawa Campus.
The Acadama Acta is among our exchanges this week. It is a bright and interesting paper published monthly and devoted to the interests of the students of Hiawatha Accademy.

There are so many play patrons who remember that dear, sympathetic little Hazel Kirke who used to fit in and out occasionally, that it is likely that Effe Elsler will have a very friendly audience here to see her in her highest success, "Judge Not." The piece was first presented at the Madison Square Theatre, New York, this summer, and it is the work of Mr. Frank Harvey, the author of "Wages of Sin" and "Woman Against Women." It is supposed to represent scenes in Belgravia, as well as in Bohemia, and the play is not staged at fault, it will be found a interesting and strongly dramatic play. Manger A. M. Palmer was so pleased with the piece when he first saw it that he at once secured it for Miss Elsler tour. The critics, with scarcely an exception, have praised the play and Miss Elsler's work in it. Mr. E. H. Vanderfelt and Mr. Frank Weston, both of whom were in the original cast, will support Miss Elsler, and the company is strong also in several other respects. The piece will be well staged.

Dear Sir—In An American examination, we must note that my instruction would be held in a fortnight. I had only ten (10) days in which to prepare for the Exam. I should recommend a year's preparation in the case of any one so utterly ill or so deeply injured that I strongly strengthened my natural memory that I was able to remember and give the gist of any book after reading it once. I therefore read Lightfoot, Proctor, Coronation, and The Reader, and I was successful in every one of the nine papers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.
Faithfully yours,

An interesting meeting is promised this evening.
From Sunday's Journal we get the following. Prof. L. L. Dyche, curator of the Zoological Museum of the University, has been in Denver the past few days negotiating for valuable zoological specimens. Last week a large shipment of animal skins and skeletons was received at the University, the result of Prof. Dyche's work. Among the specimens are several skins of the Rocky mountain goat, an animal rapidly becoming extinct. The skins are therefore very valuable, and were much sought after by eastern institutions. One skin of the musk deer is equally valuable, and will make an interesting addition to the University museum. Skins of the northern fox, mule deer, marmot and other animals, a complete skeleton of the Rocky mountain lion, skulls and other bones make the rest of the list.

Is our contemp now satisfied with "How it was done?" If not let him do it again.
Some of our "fair ones" seem to be waging war upon the Journal. Anything for a change. Nothing would be more novel and interesting than a little hair pulling.
Now for a University Annual. The time seems propitious; unanimity and sociability reign once more; all factions will partake this evening in a feast of good fellowship and if, as we believe, "How it was done" has been settled to the satisfaction of all reasonable ones, let us join hands and boom the Annual.
Since Harrison's inauguration, it is said that there is no such word as resign in the Democratic lexicon. We don't like to class the officers of the late Oratorical Association under that head, but will be obliged to unless they soon relieve a "suffering public." Gentlemen, your successors were elected some weeks ago. Please take down your sign or append an epitaph.
Chancellor Lippincott Resigns.
It was with the greatest surprise and regret that our students learned on last Tuesday morning of Dr. Lippincott's intention to resign his position as chancellor of our University. This is indeed a severe stroke to our institution, the upbuilding and advancement of which has been so rapid during the past few years. From time to time we have been pained to note the loss of some of our most competent professors, but the loss of the services of Dr. Lippincott, who as chancellor has stood at the head of our University for the past six years, and with untiring energy and zeal has labored earnestly and faithfully for its success, is most vital of all.
This decision of the chancellor is not a hasty one. We learn that he has carefully considered it in all its bearings and decided upon it as a question of personal duty. At the earnest solicitation of the Bishop of the Annual Conference, which is now in session, he has decided to accept the pastorate of the First M. E. Church of Topeka.
The Board of Regents have already been informed of his intention to resign, although he will continue to act in the capacity of chancellor until the end of the present school year.
The chancellor expresses the warmest of feeling for the University and its success. In the future as in the past, whether connected with the University or not, we may be assured of his earnest cooperation in all which will promote the welfare of our University. Ever since entering the educational field Dr. Lippincott has been one of the leaders in the advancement of modern educational ideas. He has established a national reputation as one of the leaders in educational work. His success at the head of the Scranton (Pa.) schools, as well as the acceptability with which he filled the chair of Mathematics at Dickinson College all recommended him in the highest terms as a man eminently fitted to promote, guard and defend the interests of our University. This he has done since 1883 in a manner highly acceptable to the students, faculty, friends and officers of the University. It is due almost entirely to the keen foresight, judicious management and fine executive ability of our worthy chancellor that our institution has successfully passed through all the critical periods of restricted legislative appropriations, and not withstanding all obstacles and difficulties has steadily advanced until to day it is recognized as the leading University of the West.
Having assumed charge of the University when, as one of our state papers has put it, "it was little more than a conglomeration of professors and preps," he has made many beneficial changes and substantial improvements; and to-day our preparatory department has almost vanished, and our corps of instructors almost doubled; Snow Hall, one of the finest pieces of architecture in the west, has been added and the future of the museum established upon a firm basis. The faculty has been increased from nine to thirteen members and with a present provision for three more, the number of assistants from four to nine; the department of Pharmacy has been established and has
taken a decidedly high rank among like departments in other institutions. The Art department has been established, and the Music department has been brought to its present recognition. The salaries of the faculty have been generally increased, the appliances and apparatus have been increased thrice the former amount.
Through the individual efforts of Dr. Lippincott the University has come into great prominence before the people of the State.The future of the University is surely bright,and the impetus given by Dr. Lippincott will be of long duration.
The whole student body is deeply grieved at the loss of such a wise counselor, able executive and pleasant official,and in returning to the pastorate Dr. Lippincott will carry with him the best wishes of the whole student body for his success in the future as in the past.
What's the Matter.
It is a fact that cannot be too much regretted, that there is a woful want of enthusiastic union in all of the many schemes put on foot in our University. There was a time when this was not so. Then all the students would join, and when a thing was started it was bound to go. Now we see a constant factional fight in every organization. Years ago, though not very many years ago, there were two literary societies on the hill, their halls were always crowded, their members always present. A student who was not a member was an exception. Look at them to-day. Still two societies—but such societies—there are very seldom more than twenty or thirty present at the meetings; the members with few exceptions care nothing for them, and they are used as mere political tools. Yet with all these disadvantages it is a fact to be noticed and remembered, that in our late local oratorical contest, every one of the orators was a member of one of these societies.
This lack of enthusiasm is not confined to one place. In time gone by enough loyalty, and thrusting aside of selfishness and selfish purposes were shown so that we, as students, were able to prepare and publish a catalogue of events—An Annual—yet for the past three or four years there has been none published, just because we cannot throw aside our politics long enough to work for the good of our sometime Alma Mater.
It has likewise been the fate of all our physical contests to go by the board. Once we had a field day, but now we are afraid someone, not of our faction, will beat our man.
When hallowe'en or any other such time comes, we must go around and paint on the sidewalks, calling one another names, and doing other as mean tricks. We must do this, instead of all going out together in a spirit of unison. It is high time to call a halt on all such actions, and when we do that and unite in one body, then can we expect to accomplish something, and not till then.
We have not enthusiasm enough to organize any kind of a musical club to represent us; not even a chorus or a glee club.
Fine weather for Senior plugs. Where are they?
Miss Kate Stephens, formerly professor of Greek in the Uuiversity, has an exceedingly interesting article in this month's Forum entitled, "Advanced Education of Women."
Miss Stephens gives a short resume of the great advance made by women in educational matters, during the last one hundred years, dwelling particularly on the history of women in our colleges.
Girls were first admitted to the public schools in Boston in the year 1789, although the schools had been established for one hundred and fifty years, and the laws of Massachusetts declared that "all children were to be taught in the public schools. But as the phrase, "the people" in the Constitution of the United States, is construed to mean "all men," so then the phrase "all children" was construed to mean "all boys." Several academies for young ladies had been established a few years previous to the opening of the public schools, and in 1825, a public high school for girls was established in Boston, this closed after a year and a half for financial and other causes. A few years later the Georgia Female College, the first to be devoted exclusively to women, was founded. Mount Holyoke Seminary was also founded about this time by Mary Lyon. From this time on the advancement of women into our colleges has been rapid.
Before giving Miss Stephens' figures in regard to the colleges which have admitted women, it will be necessary to make a short quotation, Miss Stephens says: "In collecting certain data upon the growth of the idea of the education of women, it became necessary to seek a predetermined limitation in the number of institutions to be investigated. Of the more than two hundred so-called colleges for women and institutions for their "superior education," reported by the Bureau of Education, it was evident that all were not able to carry a student through the advertised curricula. The selections of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae were therefore resorted to. There are perhaps other colleges open to women which offer advantages as considerable and courses as thorough as those passed upon by the associations."
The first college to open its door to both young women and young men was Oberlin College in 1833. In 1863 the University of Wisconsin did likewise. Vassar College opened, for women only, in 1865. The University of Kansas opened in 1867, admitting 29 girls all in the sub-freshman class. In 1870 the University of California was opened: then came the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Michigan and the Northwestern University the same year. In the year 1871 Wesleyan University and Syracuse University opened; then Cornell in 1872; Boston University in 1873; Smith College, 1875, and the same year Wellesly College opened with 314 students. Harvard Annex, 1879; Bryn Mawr College, 1885; Coelyn College, Princeton, N. J. was established in 1887 for the purpose of offering to women the instruction of Princeton College.
The number of women in attendance at the above colleges during the school year 1887-1888 was 3526. distributed as follows : Boston University 195; Bryn Mawr College 81; University of California 47; Cornell 102; University of Kansas 180; University of Michigan 281; Northwestern University 95; Oberlin College 796, of these over half were in the music and art departments, 52 in the classical course, 57 in the philosophical course, 107 in the literary course; Smith College 367; Syracuse 195; Vassar College 297; Wellesley 627; Wesleyan University 14; University of Wisconsin 134; Harvard Annex 103.
Women have occupied positions on the Board of Trustees of Boston University, Vassar College, Northwestern University, Wellesly and Harvard Annex and have given good satisfaction. In most of the above colleges women have held, and hold now, professorships and their success in nearly all cases is as marked as that of the men. Speaking of the salaries of women as compared to those of men, Miss Stephens says of our University, "in the University of Kansas women were at first given the same salary as men. Lately they have received scant courtesy or recognition, although the success of each one has been pronounced."
To the young men who have been educated here, side by side with the young ladies of our state, it seems incredible that so short a time ago women were regarded as incapable of even mastering a common school education, much less a collegiate one.
In point of fact, if a young man has any conceited ideas of woman's inferiority, let him go to college and see some bright sister, and may be not such a very bright one either, graduate above him, and it rapidly dispels the illusion. We are proud of the University of Kansas because it was one of the first to recognize the equality of sex in education, and we trust that from its halls will go forth an influence which will tend to place women on an equality with man in all things.
Art Lecture.
A fair sized audience assembled in the Art Room last Friday night to hear Mrs. Emery's lecture on the Madrid Gallery; and all who had the good fortune to be present were delighted, as the speaker handled her subject admirably. She said that although Spain might well feel humiliated at the position which she, as a political power, holds among nations, yet she has every reason to be proud of her art gallery at Madrid for it is the finest in the world and compels a pilgrimage from all civilized countries. The period of its greatest advancement dates from the 16th century, when the miners of Peru and Mexico sent their wealth to fill the coffers of Spain, thus giving the rulers of that country the resources by which to encourage art. This gallery received the aid of both the king and the church, and as a consequence many of the productions are religious and court scenes. This collection of gems is more refined than any other, and there can never be its equal until it is destroyed. In closing the speaker gave excellent descriptions of the principal productions of Murillo, the painter of heaven and earth, the universal favorite, and also of several other Spanish artists.
Mrs. Sophia Grubb will give a lecture one week from to-night which also promises to be very interesting.

Prof. Carruth in a recent letter to the Capital-Commonwealth discussed in a most interesting manner the most important distinctive features of Harvard University. As the time is approaching when even without the advantage of a gymnasium we may be enabled to again balance our physical with our mental vigor by taking our daily exercise on the tennis court and diamond, we take pleasure in submitting the opinions of our professor regarding athletic sports in that great "American University." The Professor says:
"The annual report of the president and other officers of Harvard University, just issued, contains much matter of interest to all persons concerned in education—which ought to mean everybody. The opinions and conclusions regarding athletic sports, for instance, have been already published far and wide and discussed for the most part favorably. There seems to have been several years ago an impression that the curriculum at Harvard consisted mainly of athletics, with bits of the classics thrown in here and there for picturesque effect. The faculty, which contrary to tradition, is very sensitive to public opinion appointed a committee consisting of Profs. John Williams White, Chaplin and Hart (the latter a cousin of Hon. S. O. Thacher), who examined the whole subject carefully and made a report which has done much toward establishing the right relation of physical training to other college studies. The regulation of athletics is now in the hands of a committee made up of professors, graduates and undergraduates, and the sentiment of the university is well pnt by the president in a sentence destined to become classic: "Dyspepsia is less tolerable than a stiffened knee or thumb, and effemacy and luxury are even worse evils than brutality."
However, it is not to be concluded that brutality is tolerated. Such is not the case, for if there is one point on which more than another the Harvard man prides himself, and justly, it is that he is a gentleman. There is rather a tendency to make neglect of his physical welfare a reproach to a man. The gymnasium is resorted to freely by the 'grinds' and they find that they can grind the better for it. Statistics show that the standing of the men who compose the crew, the nine, the eleven, etc., is somewhat higher than the general average for the university. The president recommends that sound health be made a condition for appointments to scholarships and fellowships. I notice also that the Association of Collegiate Alumnae (of which Miss Kate Stephens, formerly professor of Greek in our university, is an active member) also makes this requirement for appointment to the traveling fellowships for women for which it is soliciting funds.
A new article for class distinction in the shape of a class ring, has been adopted by the Senior class of Wisconsin University. It consists of a plain gold band with eighty-nine placed in raised colored gold between the letters U. W. We are continually getting our Preps confounded with our Juniors. Can't we have some article adopted as class paraphanalia so that we can distinguish
them? Our Seniors promise to have plugs soon.
The Kappas Entertain.
For several weeks the first of March has been looked forward to with much pleasure and expectation by those who were so fortunate as to receive invitations to the annual reception of Kappa Kappa Gammas. March the first was the date, and the spacious rooms in the third story of the new Merchants Bank building was the place.
The return of many old students, and the happy expressions of the K. K. G.s, told last Friday, without the aid of a calendar, that the date was at hand. The stormy weather of the week ceased to storm Friday evening, and the stars looking down upon the weary students, the dignified Professors, the man of business, and others too numerous to mention, invited them to ascend heavenward, at least three stories heavenward, into the social hall. The Kappas had assembled early in the evening, and at 8 o'clock began welcoming their guests. They came, and continued to come until after 9 o'clock, when the hall, filled with youth and merriment, presented a delightful scene.
The ladies were attired in the most handsome costumes, such as are not to be described by the average college pencil-pusher, who is not versed in the necessary nomenclature. At any rate, they looked their best, and well sustained the previous reputation of K. S. U. and Lawrence for beautiful girls and handsome women.
Representatives from each of the other societies were present, demonstrating the spirit of friendliness existing between them.
The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Fragrant flowers and the delicate colors of the fraternity, tastily arranged, were especially conspicuous. The glare of the electric light upon such decorations, the elegant costumes, the moving figures of the dance, lent a new attraction. Supper was served at ten. Beautiful souvenirs were placed at each plate. The following was the menu:
Chicken Salad. Wafers.
Sliced Ham.
Lemon Jelly. Bread. Olives.
Pickles, Angel Food.
CAKE.
Caramel. Fig.
Vanilla. Tutti Frutti.
Oranges. Bananas.
Chocolate. Coffee.
After the tables were cleared away, dancing and other social amusements were indulged in until a late hour.
The Kappas may well feel proud of the great social success of their reception last Friday evening. It was the event of the season.
Pickering of Olathe, Johnston, McKinnon, Stimpson, Henshaw and Fullerton. Messrs. Davis, Vochris, V. L. and F. H. Kellogg, Jus and F. H.

Political Science Club.
The audience at the Club was unquestionably the largest on the hill Friday evening'. This was doubtless due to the good program that was expected. It is needless to say that all expectations were realized.
The proceedings of our State legislature were commented on by S. Brewster. He reported the formation of five new districts in the state; the change of the name of Davis Co. to Geary, and the establishment of a court of common pleas at Wichita.
The doings of the U. S. Senate were discussed by F. Craig. The leading feature was the admission of the four new states into the Union, the first instance in the history of the constitution that four have been admitted at once.
The work of the U. S. House was ably and fully reviewed by S. Harvey.
The paper on Finance and Industry was well rendered by M. Hickey. Foreign Events and Diplomacy were handled by F. Liddeke. Under this head were discussed the collapse of the Panama Canal Co., and the intended visit of over four hundred members of the English Parliament to all the prominent points of our country.
One of the most interesting features of the evening was the paper entitled, Is House-keeping a Failure, by Miss Newlin. Both sides of the question were clearly presented. The case, idleness and discontent of the boarding house were fairly balanced against the occupation, industry and contentment that characterize a well kept house. The conclusion drawn was that house-keeping is not a failure, but the real basis of home, without which it is impossible for man to attain to that true happiness and higher moral purity, which forms the true safeguard of society.
The utility and fitness of establishing a National University at Washington was reported by H. Buckingham. The conclusion reached was, that with the already numerous observatory, laboratory, museum and library facilities in and about Washington, by national enterprise, an institution could readily be founded at that point second to none on the continent, if not in the world.
While waiting for the "hash and ham" at the breakfast table these fine spring mornings, the moments cannot be made to fly more quickly and pleasantly than by reading the easy-flowing and newsy Washington letters which appear regularly in the Capital-Commonwealth from the ever ready pen of Chas. F. Scott. Here you will find an enumeration of all doings of our Congress of national and local importance, a discussion of
men and their measures; a birds-eye view of the gay and giddy whirl of society life at our national capital; and in short, you are for the time being seemingly transported and believe yourself seated in the halls of Congress (instead of at the breakfast table) spell-bound by the eloquent appeals of our Ingalls, or our Plumb in behalf of some measure of special importance to Kansas. No student can afford to miss reading these letters. They are models both in their free and easy style and subject matter.
Palladium.
The entertainment at Palladium last Saturday night was highly enjoyable and we know that all present appreciated the exercises.
After a recess during which many trivial but pleasant 'funs' which will be recalled with delight in the future, the debate upon the suppression of the negro vote was ably discussed by Messrs. Hunt and Worden upon the affirmative, and by Messrs. Riggs and Nicolls upon the negative. Such an able debate would be long remembered in a society much older and composed of more mature minds. And yet this young society is becoming noted for such debates.
After an interesting and highly humorous 'parliamentary scrap,' the society adjourned with good wishes to all, to meet at the Court House next Saturday night. We have accommodations for any number of visitors and we extend a hearty invitation. Yours truly,
P. L. SOCIETY.

Exchange Notes.
The Academy Student is among our exchanges. It is a well edited and newsy paper, and is a valuable addition to our exchange list.
The students of "Southern Kansas Academy" have determined to publish a new monthly paper. It is to be more of a literary character than their present organ, The Academy Student. This will make two publications for that institution. Such a representation speaks well for the Academy.
We hope soon to see the Telescope among our exchanges.
The Doane Owl contains an item on the fight between the Times and Courier for supremacy, and remarks that it a battle nip and tuck. O saturnine and melancholy bird of night, hast thou in thy infinite wisdom hazarded thy better judgment?
We notice a very interesting article by Prof. J. H. Canfield, in the February number of the Western School Journal. It presents in a very compact form the Professor's method of teaching constitutional and political history in the University.

An Evening of Fun.
"CORNER GROCERY" AT THE OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT.
"Corner Grocery" is an event for the students. It is uproarously funny, and students enjoy anything funny. Here is a recommendation from the Louisville Courier-Journal which is worth your attention :
The three-act comedy, the "Corner Cookie," was presented at the Masonic Temple Theatre last night to an excellent audience. It was such an audience as one rarely sees in Louisville on Monday night. The play is certainly funny, and it kept the audience laughing. The bad, forgetful boy is the life of the play. He plays pranks on everybody he meets—his father, mother, brother, his brother's sweetheart, the policeman, and, above all on the groceryman. He is never out of mischief, and his inventive genius keeps the community he lives in very busy. The bad boy steals, lies, gets whipped, soaks his father's hat in the water-butt, soops the door-step and nearly breaks the old man's neck, arrests the policeman, keeps everybody in a state of falling down, and finally unearths the villain and makes everybody happy.
The plot of the play is brief and unimportant. It hinges on the forgery of a will, and an effort to make a rich, pretty girl marry the son of a forger who was a partner of her father in the grocery business. He is a Jew and keeps the corner grocery. Daddy Nolan is the guardian of the pretty girl, and Thomas Nolan, a clerk in the grocery, is her lover. Jimmy Nolan is the bad, forgetful boy.

Dear SIR—In April, 1883, I was taught that my appointment examination would be heed in a fortnight. I had only ten (10) days in which to prepare for the Exam. I should recommend a year's preparation in the case of any one so utterly ill and without strengthened my natural memory that I was able to remember and give the gist of any book after reading it once. I therefore read Lightfoot, Proctor, or Curtis; and &c., once, and was successful in every one of the tests. The present Bishop of Eimburg knows the facts.
Faithfully yours.

The fraternity boys began to be frightened last Friday afternoon when it became generally reported that the "barbs" were organized to break up their jamboree. The report turned out to be false and the boys enjoyed themselves in grand style.
There is a good deal of just complaint among some of the students because certain professors pay no attention to the signal bells. We have known classes to be kept over time so long that the chancellor came around to see what was the matter. Only this week one professor detained the class seven minutes after the second bell had rung. Now this does the professor no good, and brings reproach upon many of our best scholars. We suggest a change.

Girls never give themselves over to such hearty enjoyment as when no masculine eye can prey upon their revels. For some time the members of the three girls' fraternities had been discussing a joint meeting and jollification, and last Friday night their plans materialized, the young ladies thinking they might never have another chance to pe so free from interruption. Mr. and Mrs. Bowersock kindly opened their spacious house to the merry crowd, by whom the favor will not soon be forgotten. The fun began early and lasted till late. Dancing, singing college songs, athletic exercises, and several mystic performances not to be found in any other fraternity ritual, made such sport that the gravest forgot her dignity and made the house ring with laughter. The girls did justice to the banquet, but words cannot. As before stated, it was late when the revelers departed, voting themselves the most delightful entertainers to whom they had ever been included.

College Songs.
At last our Friday nights are again free from any important engagements, and we can devote ourselves with renewed energy to college songs.
We are glad to announce that the literary societies have been good enough to give a half hour of their time to college singing, so that the Christian societies may no longer be interfered with. It is to be hoped now that the Christian societies will be equally generous and come to the singing The meetings will be opened at 7.45, in Athenaeum hall, and will be held every Friday evening. This song association has so far been very favorably regarded by the students, and we hope their interest will continue to increase until they become sufficiently enthusiastic to start a college glee club. Why haven't we a little more spirit in this matter?
Tennis Meeting.
The Tennis Club held a meeting, Tuesday, at the end of the fourth hour. The resignations of C. M. Watson, W. A. Snow, V. L. Kellogg and F. H. Kellogg were accepted, and A. C. Peabody, Herb Hadley, Potter and Harvey Bear were elected to their places; this makes the full number of members allowed. Mr J. M. Shellebarger was elected treasurer and Mr Brooks, secretary. Mr Whitman was elected delegate to the Southwestern Tennis Associations's annual meeting to be held in April. A committee will prepare a schedule of match games to be played this spring. The club intends to push matters as soon as the weather permits.
The age of chlvaly is not yet passed. A box of large, luscious oranges, a present from a Beta, arrived Wednesday afternoon from Old Mexico, directed to the Lawrence Chapter of Beta Theta Pi. The box was not taken to the fraternity hall, nor were all loyal Betas invited to meet in secret in the room of one of the members to have a spread. But four gallant knights of Beta Theta Pi carried that heavy box about town generously giving to their friends until the box grew light and the oranges few. The girls all say that the oranges were delicious, and that the boys are not to be surpassed in generosity and gallantry. X. Y. Z.

Philological Club
Prof. Marsh spoke of the late Franz Heuffer and of his work on the Troubadors. This is about the only book in English at all scientific in its treatment of the subject. Heuffer was trained at Goettingen, and on the whole well. He has not attempted to write for scholars alone, but his work everywhere shows that he was himself a scholar. He has not, for instance, a trace of the now absolote doctrine that Provengal poetry was first inspired by the neighboring Arabs. He has given up, with Diez, those fantastic courts of love which Reynoud thought up, and which still linger in popular English accounts of the Troubadors. He depicts accurately Provengal society and art, bringing out the insufficiency of the ideas of Provengal writers, at the same time that he makes clear that the love for beauty of behavior and of surroundings was perhaps the most fruitful element contributed by Provence to medieval civilization. Heuffer's book, though in no sense a strictly scholarly and scientific treatise, is of great value for English readers.
Prof. Wilcox showed to the club and talked of Baumeister's "Mnuments of Classical Antiquity." This comprises three large quarto volumes of 2224 pages of text and 2401 cuts, besides a volume of over a hundred plates, most of them double-paged, 28 of them colored. The aim of this work was to describe the religion, art and manners of the Greeks and Romans, and gather together in a handy and cheap [the cost of the whole work unbound is only $17.25] form a large collection of illustrations of the same, for those who are unable to have at their command the large number of expensive archaeological publications, or who have not sufficient training to use them properly. The ground the work covers is all art, mythology, antiquities of common life, coins, the most important historical personages, typography of the most important places, the army and marine, epigraphy and palaeolography, excluding all political and literary history, geography, and political and legal institutions. The subjects are treated in alphabetical order by some ten dozen specialists, all famous names. Some of the articles are perfect books in themselves. There are 65 pages, for instance, on Athens, 92 on Olympia, 81 on Pergamon, 98 on Rome, 80 on vases, 63 on weapons of war, all illustrated profusely.
Miss Rudolph spoke of the tendency in the Middle Ages to connect the city of Rome with Semitic and Bible history and characters, and traced briefly the myth of the foundation of Rome by Noah.
Prof. A. G. Canfield spoke of a new series of texts for French classes, the first of which is L'Avare of Moliere by Prof. Schele de Vere.
Prof. Marsh announced the death of Prof. Vigfussion, at the time of his death the greatest Icelandic scholar in the world. He also read the official circular announcing the formation of a society at Cambridge for the study of the spoken English and other non-aboriginal dialects of the United States and Canada.

Here's to the Annual! Two thirds of the eleven factions in the University have signified their intention to support and encourage the enterprise. A most able board of editors has been chosen, and with the exception of a few disappointed office seekers and grumblers, all are in sympathy with the movement.
Prof. Arthur Marsh of the State University, with his family consisting of wife and two children, will leave for New York July 3d, on the completion of his work at the University. Prof. Marsh will arrange his affairs in New York and Boston, procure his instructions from Harvard and then set sail. He will go direct to Germany. The board of Regents will meet the 15th to consider the question of successors to Chancellor Lippincott, Prof. Marsh and others. State Journal.
A University Annual.
Pursuant to adjournment of the first meeting of the various delegates appointed to consider the publication of a University Annual, a second meeting was held last Friday to consider the report of the committee on constitution and by-laws. The constitution reported by the committee was adopted with a few amendments. It provides for a company to be composed of the non-fraternity students of the Pharmacy Department, the non-fraternity students of the Law Department, the non-fraternity students of the Collegiate Department, and the nine fraternities.
It further provides for a board of twelve editors, each faction having one representative. From the twelve are elected a president, a secretary, a treasurer, and a board of publication, to be composed of an editor-in-chief and two business managers, who shall bear equally all financial responsibility. Each editor is held responsible for the sale of twenty dollars worth of Annuals. Such are the main features of the constitution adopted last Friday.
In accordance with the constitution the editors elected by the different factions met last Monday for the election of officers. The following were elected: President, — — Hill; secretary, Nettie Goodell; treasurer, Dent Hogeboom; board of publication, W. A. White, editor-in-chief, with F. L. Morris and C. E. Street as business managers. The remainder of the editorial staff is as follows: Pi Beta Phi, Mary Manley; Kappa Alpha Theta, Julia Benedict; Kappa Kappa Gamma, Laura Lockwood; Sigma Nu, S. M. Simmons; and Phi Kappa Psi, J. A. Mushrush.
As will be seen from the above, the staff is a strong one, and insures the success of a first class Annual.
The constitution, in a spirit of fairness, gives all a just representation, and there seems to be no reason why all should not join in making the Annual one worthy of the University.
If the hearty support is given to this undertaking that it deserves, there need be no fear but that an editorial staff and business management of acknowledged ability will make the year 1889 memorable for the publication of the best Annual that has ever been issued from the University. Let all give the Annual not only hearty sympathy but material support.
The members of Beta Theta Pi in the legislature were given a complimentary banquet by the local members of the fraternity, in Topeka, on the evening of March 1st. The banquet was held at the Copeland. Gov. Humphrey was present as an invited guest, with Beta representatives, J. V. Admire, J. R. Bunton, Jos. Reeder, and J. J. Shields, enrolling clerk of the house.
Beta Banquet.
The following were also present:
Hon. C. W. Smith, ex-regent of the University; Hon. David Overmeyer, Prof. F. W. Phelps of Washburn, Prof. J. E. Williamson of Topeka High School, Hon. Jas. Smith, private secretary to the Governor;
Frank P. McLennan of the State Journal, W. H. Kent, P. L. Soper, H. L. Call, A. L. Allen, T. F. Doran, and Eugene Quinton.
Neither the sumptuous banquet nor
the presence of such congenial spirits were inclined to make the occasion otherwise than enjoyable. Eight colleges were represented. The preliminary steps were taken for the organization of an Alumni Chapter.
Kansas Miscel!anies.
In giving this latest Kansas book to the public, the author has earned a place among the unmistered literateurs whom we never think of addressing as Mr. Longfellow, or Mr. Shakespeare.
It is not that the book relates anything new that it is of such rare literary merit, but rather that it tells things old in the newest style.
The title of the book is a complete index to its contents. "Battle Corners" is Mr. Prentis' masterpiece. The plot of this little drama is laid in that "dark and bloody" region where the states of Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas, and the Indian Territory, corner.
Here, "among these wooded hills and rugged hollows," the battles of Prairie Grove, Pea Ridge, and Wilson's Creek—the three acts of this epic drama—are graphically described in all their gloomiest and ghastliest grandeur. Garnished with all the graceful imagery, beautiful fancies, and sublime pathos, that cultured taste and refined imagination can devise, they unfold the entire panorama of civil war to the reader.
Mr. Prentis assures us that he has selected these battlefields because it was here that our Kansas troops wrought such acts of dauntless daring and undying fame.
But in drawing aside the draperies to disclose these deeds of splendid heroism and masterly execution, he reveals every battlefield upon which the war-drum throbbed or life-blood ebbed during the late war.
For this reason "Battle Corners" will be read and tear-stained by every volunteer or veteran who lives to enjoy the country he helped to save.
Following this article is a brief history of Kansas journalism; and if you do not believe the boys of '57 who, at "Battle Corners," performed those chivalrous feats, whose mention is an inspiration, have been as brilliant in the acts of peace as they were brave in the face of death, read the tribute which Mr. Prentis pays to Gov. John Martin, Senator Plumb, Maj. Hudson, and a score of others not less conspicuous to-day.
The second half of the book is even more miscellaneous—consisting of a short sketch of Jim Lane—the political magnus giganticus of territorial times, and numerous lectures and literary articles which the author pleads guilty to having perpetrated upon the Kansas public in recent years.
"The House of Bourbon," delivered before the literary societies of the State University in 1887, and "The World a School," presented at the Kansas State Agricultural College in 1875, are admirable productions, and have won Mr. Prentis a wide reputation as a popular lecturer.
and most effective rhetorical figure, and this he wields with the skill of a master.
Every line of "Kansas Miscellanies" bear the stamp of its author's inimitable style. Elegant in diction, felicitous in expression, and ample in detail, Mr. Prentis displays a style scarcely excelled by Scott.
the metaphor is his most frequent
But better than all, his productions are punctuated with those enjoyable pleasantries which fascinate the reader, while they brighten the else too somber web of narrative with threads of purple and gold.
In fact, good humor constitutes the "irreducible sentiment" of his composition. Add to this the intense enthusiasm with which Mr. Prentis speaks of everything Kansan, and you have a combination of rich qualities which makes this the choiceest book yet contributed to the Kansas shelf.

Athenaeum.
Fifteen or twenty enthusiastic members of Atheneum and as many outsiders, met in the society's hall, Friday evening. The fact that the fraternity jamboree took place that night kept hardly any of Atheneum's members from attending the session. The program, as usual, was good. Mr. A. F. Sherman read a selection in a very creditable manner; he was followed by Miss Corbin, who also read. The society is always delighted to listen to this lady. The worthy president then delivered an oration on "Little Things," which showed no little thought. After recess, the question: Resolved. That the practice of voting bonds to railroads is a good one, led to a very animated discussion. Affirmative, J. O. Worden and A. Fullerton; negative, M. Wixon and C. S. Hall. After disposing of what miscellany came before the society, it adjourned and each person went away feeling that the meeting had been a pleasant one, and one that furnished much food for thought.
The following program will be performed to-night:

Palladium.
The speakers at Palladium last Saturday night had the advantage of a mighty incentive to imagination and eloquence, for their eyes could look beyond the audience and survey the concourse of citizens who had gathered around the Cyclone bonfire on Massachusetts street.
The flow of words, the eloquent rhetoric, and the logical arguments, which enchanted us, and seduced us into reverie not dull, may never again be heard in the State of Kansas. But the impressions made that night, and the convictions confirmed by those debates can never be effaced by the feeble efforts put forth by rival societies.
When Kriebel and Dalby and Enns and O'Leary endeavor to engage the attention of intelligent people, those who listen to them are apt to be electrified. Enns talked in poetry, and we judge that if he should compose an Ode to Spring, no average editor
could reject it. We were wholly unable to enumerate or distinguish the number of cheers that greeted his pointed and well rounded utterances.
The question of the admission of Utah as a state was weighed in the balances and found wanting.
Next Saturday night.

Orophilian.
The following program will be ren-tered this evening :
Orophilian had an enthusiastic meeting Friday evening. The special feature of the program was the debate, which reminded one of Orophilian in "Ye olden times," it was so full of life. The question was, Resolved. That country life is more conducive to the highest development of morality than city life. The affirmative was upheld by Culver and Hunter in an able manner. Whitman and Enns had the negative and made it lively for the country fellows. The decision of the judges was two for the affirmative and one for the negative. Albert Morgan and his sister favored the society with some good music.

Kent Club.
The club assembled last Friday night under a new constitution, under a new chairman, Mr. Wayde, and under a new administration, as Caughey was pleased to inform us in his Current Events
The democrats were very despondent and preferred to turn away their eyes from the dismal present and to gaze back upon the "good old times." One of their number, Enns, wandered back as far as George II and read a paper on Sir William Blackstone.
Why didn't we law students live in those good old times? How delightful would it have been to keep twelve terms in the Inns of the Inner and Middle Temple. A term in those times was kept in a very easy manner, indeed. The student had to be present at a prescribed number of meals usually five per term, and perform an exercise nine times. An exercise was performed thus: After dinner, one of the barristers handed a slip of paper with some legal jargon on it to the student. The student read a few lines, and all barristers present made a slight bow to the reader taking the paper from him and telling him it was quite sufficient. Blackstone managed to take $k^-$ dinners in five years. The la.
Blackstone managed to take his 60 dinners in five years. The laziest American could have beaten that
The debaters, Workman and Lawton, Pollock and Poehler, aroused the democrats from their pleasant dreams of the past and assured them in powerful speeches that their man should have been elected, that indeed the president of the United States should always be elected by popular vote.

The Science Club was out in full force last night to hear Ed Franklin give his report on sugar making in Louisiana. Mr. Franklin was chemist in the sugar works on Palo Alto Plantations, about sixty miles up the Mississippi from New Orleans, during the fall, and also made himself familiar with the processes used in other parts of the state, thus gaining a practical knowledge of the manufacture which will be of great value to the University, now that Kansas is a sugar producing state. He procured a fine collection of samples of sugar, syrup, mascuites, molasses, etc., illustrating the whole process of manufacture from the cane to the sugar, to be placed in the chemical museum. These specimens were exhibited and tested by most of the Club. Mr. Franklin considered first the sugars in their chemical relations and stated that although little was known of them certainly, yet it is most probable that glucose is an aldehyde and corresponds to the alcohol mannite and to saccharic acid.
According to the process most in use, the juice from the cane is boiled down to a syrup in copper tanks with the addition of lime to rid it of impurities. This syrup is then put into the vacuum pans, which are closed air-tight vats from which the greater part of the air has been exhausted. By this means the syrup may be boiled at a low temperature, about 150 degrees, and more sugar can be crystallized out than by the old "open pan" process. The mixture of molasses and, sugar called mascuite, is next removed from the vacuum pans and put into the centrifugal machines by which the sugar is completely separated from the molasses. From the molasses lower grades of sugar can be obtained.
The sugar season lasts from the 1st of October to December 15th. The laborers in the sugar house can earn from $1.50 a day down, by eighteen hours work. After the conclusion of his paper Mr. Franklin stood a rapid fire of questions from the students and professors.
The election of officers resulted in the selection of Ed Esterly for president; Ned Slosson, secretary; W. S. Franklin, treasurer. A list of papers which are promised to the club soon, show that the meetings for the rest of the term are to be full of interest.
Henry Clews in an article in the North American Review, entitled, "Legislative injustice to Railways," makes the following suggestions which will be interesting to college people. He says, "I would also suggest that Chairs be instituted in several of our colleges, to be filled by professors who have passed through all the principal departments of a railroad experience. And in addition they should be possessed of a good literary and scientific education. These general experts in railroad matters should have in charge the education of young men, and award diplomas to them as Expert Railroad Directors. Then I would make it incumbent upon every railroad company to have one or more of these graduates in every directory, at a salary, say, equal to that of a Senator or Member of Congress. Every such director should
know thoroughly all there is to know about railroad book-keeping, railroad building and railway management generally. His position should be raised to the dignity of a profession, and his diploma awarded only on the most searching examination of his qualifications for the office. The position should be made as desirable and attractive as that of any of the learned professions; capability and character being the principal tests of fitness for the selection to any vacancies."
"Students passing through such a collegiate course as this might also be required, as a means of greater practical efficiency, to go through a practical course of a year or two in a railroad office, with frequent opportunities of going over and examining the road, as well as making trips of inspection over all the trunk lines, for special information and instruction."
The Pan Hellenic.
Last Friday evening the gentlemen of Beta Theta Pi, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Chi fraternities, met at Frazer Hall to celebrate with a "jamboree." The company began to assemble about nine o'clock, and by ten o'clock fully 75 persons were present. The Mandolin Club stationed upon the stage discoursed music that will ever be associated with the pleasures of the occasion. The fine toilets of the ladies (?) made a perfect picture against the background of the more sombre attire of the gentlemen. At the proper hour doughnuts and ham sandwiches were served, and two kegs of cider put on tap. After the repast dancing was resumed and continued until a late hour. We regret that we are unable to give a list of those present, but the toilette of the ladies (?) deserve especial attention.

In striking contrast with the custom of to-day stands the following extract from the laws of Yale College, published in 1774. Every freshman is obliged to do any proper errand or message required of him by any one in an upper class, which if he refuse to do, he shall be punished." As singular are some of the regulations of Harvard college enforced a century ago: "No freshman shall wear his hat in the college yard, except in rains, hails or snows, he be on horse-back, or both hands full.
"No freshman shall be saucy to his Senior, or speak to him with his hat on. "No freshman shall intrude into his Senior's company. "No freshmen are to find the rest of the scholars with bats, balls and footballs. - University Herald.
A political war is raging in the University of Nebraska between the "barb" and "frat" elements. The real cause of the trouble seems to be a refusal of the party in power to allow the "——" a representation on their college journal, the *Hesperian*. To have a successful college paper, it must be made to represent the
wants and interests of all. It must voice the needs of every faction We would advise the Hesperian to give all a representation, and profit by the example of our contemporary.
The Miami Student is among the best exchanges that comes to our table. The subject matter is neatly arranged, and shows careful study and original thought. It contains none of that trite classical matter with which so many of our college journals are filled. It treats of subjects which are of general interest to every student, and is in every way a model of college journalism.
We are glad to note the arrival of the Delphic on our exchange table. It is a neatly arranged monthly, and contains several well written and pithy articles which are a credit to its literary columns.

What's the matter with Mrs. Rice? The frats haven't had a good "write up" for quite a while, guess it is time for another jamboree. —TIMES.
When one is summoned in this seductive way to say something it is hard to resist. I was asked before to contribute something for the TIMES and did so, and was surprised to find this urgent appeal for "more" in the next paper.
But well I know that boys need help in many ways, and it has been my conviction for more than a quarter of a century that the boys in this "land of the free and home of the brave" are the most neglected and worst abused part of every community. A great awakening of the popular mind upon this subject is near at hand. We see indications of it in many ways. Even this great struggle for prohibition when reduced to its real meaning is nothing but an attempt to take care of the boys. But it alone is not enough. Additional means are being organized and other influences are at work. The old notion that every boy is entitled to a season for sowing wild oats, which was honestly entertained by many people till a late day, is now given up. Many other notions now tolerated and destructive of a boy's best interests will, as fast as attention is directed to them, go the same way. Even the Overseers of Harvard now, it is said, are considering whether students should have enough so-called liberty to ruin their prospects as students or only enough to help them in their work. In other words, the wise men who rule there begin to see that boys need wise supervision, restraint, and direction. These are among the first rights of every boy, and as fast as they are secured the great burden of wrong and wrong doing, of which our society is now so conscious, will be lifted. R.E. Rice.
The North American Review for March is a strong and striking number. It opens with a charming description by General Sherman of "Old Times in California," containing many reminiscences of life in that territory forty years ago. There is a valuable symposium on the question, "Can our Churches be Made More Useful?" to which the Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale and Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden and the Rev. Minot J. Savage contribute. The murder of Major Clayton—one of the uppermost political topics of the hour—is ably considered, from the Republican and Democratic point of view, by the Hon. Logan H. Roots and Senator James K. Jones, both of Arkansas. A powerful plea for Delia Bacon is entered by Ignatius Donnelly, in a review of Theodore Bacon's life of his aunt. "Legislative Injustice to Railways" is discussed by Henry Clews; "Common-Sense and Copyrights," by the Hon. George S. Boutwell; and the question, "Does American Farming Pay?"—which is of especial interest at present, in view of the elevation of the Department of Agriculture to a Cabinet Department—is conclusively answered by a recognized authority, the Hon. George B. Loring, ex-Commissioner of Agriculture. "Humanity's Gain from Unbelief" is set forth by Charles Bradlaugh, M. P. General Lloyd S. Bryce, member of the Fiftieth Congress, points out some errors of statement and conclusion in Prof. James Bryce's widely-read "American Commonwealth." Dion Boucicault describes a recent incident at the Goethe Society's meeting, and comments on the disastrous effect of newspaper criticism on the drama. In a readable short article, Grant Allen treats of "The Adaptiveneas of Nature." In the department of "Notes and Comments," "The Claim of Realism" is considered by Albion W. Tourgee; there is also a timely contribution or "Naming the New States." Several pages are devoted to reviews of recent books.

Dear Sirs—In April 1888, the University of Oxford issued a notice that my ordination examination would be held in a fortnight. I had only ten (10) days in which to prepare for the Exam. I should recommend a book of any one so utterly unprepared as I was; but you may not be strengthened my natural memory that I was able to remember and give the gist of any book after reading it in an hour's lightfoot, Proctor, Harold, Browne, Mowse, &mcl; or be successful in every one of the nine papers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.

The Board of Publication of the University Annual was in session Monday, to receive and act upon the bonds of the associate editors.

Some students, who think it smart, have lately seen fit to disfigure notices posted by a certain professor, with all sorts of absurd words and phrases. It is a disgrace that this should be done, and it was hoped it would not be repeated after the first offence We trust it will not be done again.
Who says the administration of the University is not economical? The electric lights on Mount Oread and Adams St. were turned off Tuesday night, about as soon as the crowd was out of the chapel, so that all had to pick their way homeward through the mud, by the light of the stars.
It is somewhat amusing after each little rain storm to see the pleasant little reminiscences of Hallow'een come bobbing up serenely, on the walk up Mount Oread. The student again reads in colors of pure white(wash), "Street is Sec." "Rats on the frats." "Who stole the book?" etc., etc.
It is to be hoped that in time, "the gentle dew of heaven" will forever erase all signs of the late unpleasantness.
Unity Club.
Last Monday evening Prof. Blake read a very interesting paper on what is variously known as mesmerism, hypnotism, animal magnitism. The professor referred to the inaccuracy of popular thought, which classes the phenomena of mesmerism with those of ghost-seeing, table-tipping, spirit-rappings, and the like. Disclaiming all right to be considered an original investigator, Prof. Blake avowed his interest in the subject and proceeded to give the conclusions drawn from the latest scientific investigations. The three stages of hypnotism were described; and a sketch was given of the construction and action of the nervous system, in order to make intelligible the relation of the reflex nervous centers to the organs of sense and to the muscular system. Mesmerism, scientists now believe to consist simply in preventing messages from the organs of sense from reaching the center of consciousness, thereby placing the muscles under the control of the reflex centers. There are various methods of doing this, but in no case does a mysterious, unnatural force project itself from the operator upon the subject. Prof. Blake gave utterance to his earnest desire to see the subject of mesmerism freed from supernatural associations; if his paper would do anything toward removing the superstition with which many are inclined to regard hypnotism and kindred phenomena, it would have accomplished its purpose. The possibilities of mesmerism for good. Prof. Blake believed to lie in its use by physicians, and he strongly deprecated its exercise by unprincipled and irresponsible individuals.
An interesting discussion followed, in the course of which it was discovered that Mr. Smith, a well known operator, was present, and he was invited to give an exhibition of his powers. He excused himself on the plea of fatigue, but will probably favor the club in three weeks from last Monday, when Prof. Will Franklin will read a paper on Mesmerism and Faith Cures.

Democratic rule this week. The easy flowing, inimitable style of H. F.M.Bear will be noticed to beam forth from our columns.
On with the Annual, "Let joy be unconfined"—and also the pens of the several editors.
Our neighbor seems to have begun a series of editorials on Religion, Plan of Salvation and Orthodoxy. We also remember that a large and ferocious animal once meandered into a china shop.
Several complaints have come to our ears of late, as to such and such things which THE TIMES has neglected to notice. Many requests have been made to us to agitate in our columns, this or that project, to right many supposed wrongs, to criticise this or that "manner of doing things."
To all such we would say again, that it is our desire to make Time Times, truly a student's paper. And if you have any article of news, which you wish to see in print, just whisper it in the ears of one of our reporters, and it shall be printed. If you
have any views to express, any eulogy or philippic. any bits of verse or gems of thought, which are struggling for utterance, our columns are open to you. And last, but not least, if you wish to read the news, the latest and the best, not clouded by prejudice and weak with age; if you wish to know what the students of K. S. U. are doing and thinking about, why take THE TIMES.
Contests.
The TMrs believe it to be a matter of deep regret that contests at K.S.U. have fallen into—in democratic phraseology—innocuous desnetude: not by the will of the students, but by the order of the faculty. We believe it to be a great mistake. K.S.U. is a grand institution. Loved by all her students, she has a record to be proud of, and a future filled with brightest prospects. But with all this, she is rivaled, yes surpassed, in several points by the smaller colleges of our State, especially in interesting and profitable contests.
Look at Washburn. Every month her students have some kind of a contest; a prize debate, a contest in declamation or oratory, or a splendid musical entertainment given by her students. What is the result? Their college life is not a monotonous drudgery. These friendly contests keep up the interest in all literary work. There is not time for any rust or depositions of dust. It creates a rivalry, an activity that ever keeps alive the college spirit. And is time thrown away that is taken up in preparation for these contests? A book-worm might say, yes. Then deliver us from worms. Ask those who have taken part in contests. Their answer will be, that they have derived more benefit from these contests than from any text book they have ever studied. And contestants are generally the best class of students.
It is these contests that have given Washburn her Brewster, and threaten to send his peer to Lawrence, next February, to again take off the prize. It is this college life and activity that made such a grand showing for her at Emporia last month. There was her orator, her glee club, her cherubs, her banners and colors, and almost every one of her enthusiastic sons and daughters were there to sound her praises. Going out of the hall that night we heard the remark, "This, just as an advertisement, has been worth one thousand dollars to Washburn College," and so it was. We do not wish to disparage our own University spirit, in this comparison, for "Mr. Rock Chalk" cannot be outdone in loyalty, when the time and place call for it.
But while Washburn compared to K. S. U. is as a mole-hill to a mountain or an ant to an elephant, yet we believe we can learn a great deal from the lesson she taught us at Emporia, and from her college spirit at all times. It does not work up just before the State contest and then work down again, but it keeps up at high-water mark the year around. And it is these numerous contests and entertainments that keep alive this spirit and develop all latent talent, until it ceases to be latent and becomes very active, indeed.
Now let us look at ourselves.
Where are our contests? Echo answers from without the faculty chambers—Prohibited by Law. Where are our glee clubs, our entertainments, our lecture course, our literary contests? These too, seem to be prohibited by law. Oh, yes, we are too busy working for 1's and getting 3's, too busy stealing books and quarreling over honors. When will this twaddle cease? When will we awake from this stupor—this troubled dream?
Some day we hope the "Contest Edict" of last year will be revoked, and that it will be remembered that there is just a little of this world, outside of the two lids of a book. Factions, let them be among the students, but let them only meet in friendly rivalry, with one object and one purpose. Schemes and combinations would then give place to true worth and talent. And an opportunity would then be offered to show the blood we are made of. For if united, with the purpose of making the best of our advantages, there is no college or university, not only in Kansas but in all the West, that can defeat us in any field of action. We have the material, that is certain.
Let us think of this, and in spite of all disadvantages begin with a determination to hasten the day when K. S. U. shall be a model University in every respect.
The Annual
Hurrah! Hurrah!! Hurrah!!! We are to have an Annual. It is so denominated in the bonds. The officers have been chosen, and sufficient funds have been guaranteed to insure its issuance. The University is to be congratulated. After several annual attempts, success has crowned the efforts of 1889. Bickerings and jealousies have been placed aside and the students for once are almost united. We are sorry we have to say almost. Of course there are bound to be some "who wont play" if they can't have their choice of games.
Such childishness is part of human nature. It cannot be helped. So on with the Annual. May it be a credit to the University, and it will be.
With White and his able corps of assistants to push the pencil, and with two such rustlers as Street and Morris, to look after the dimes, there is no such word as fail. Accept the greeting of the Times.
The Regents Meet.
The new Board of Regents held their first meeting last Monday evening, when an organization was effected as follows:
Vice-President, M. P. Simpson ; Recording Secretary, C. S. Gleed; Auditor, C. R. Mitchell ;
Committee on Instruction: C. S.
Gleed, W. C. Spangler, J. F. Billings,
Committee on Libraries: W. C.
Spangler, C. S. Gleed, J. A. Lippincott.
Committee on Finance: M. P.
Simpson, Joel Moody, C. R. Mitchell.
Committee on Buildings and
Grounds: Joel Moody, J. A. Lippincott,
C. S. Gleed.
Committee on Lands and Endowments: J. F. Billings, C. R. Mitchell, M. P. Simpson.
Tuesday morning the salaries of the professors not stated in the bill were decided upon. In the afternoon the method of spending the money in the Department of Natural History and Physics was fixed upon according to rulings, on the basis of the Moody bill, which takes effect next year.
Committee on Reports and Publications: M. P. Simpson, C. R. Mitchell, J. A. Lippincott.
How the capacity of the library room may be increased if at all; when, where and by whom the $5,000 for books shall be expended. in what proportion it shall be distributed among the departments, were questions that were but slightly discussed. The whole subject was referred to the committee on library for consideration, with instructions to report at the next meeting of the Board.
Chancellor Lippincott signified his intention to resign, but no formal resignation was handed in. At his suggestion a special committee was appointed to inquire into the matter of the chancellor's successor, and report in the future. Mr. L. L. Dyche was elected a professor to have charge of Anatomy, Physiology and Taxidermy. Mr. Will C. Stevens of the class of '85 was elected assistant in Natural History. Prof. J. H. Canfield was at last given a prospective assistant, the professor to retain charge of the department. The next meeting of the Board will be on April 30.
A Wail.
The occasional growls from the Times regarding professors holding their classes over time, do not seem to have the desired effect. There are only two or three serious sinners in this respect, but they trespass enough on the patience of their students, to make them weary of life and seriously impaire their digestion, —if it happens to be the one o'clock bell. Let us hope and pray that the guilty ones will use a little caution hereafter in this matter, and consider the fact that the first bell does not ring merely for fun, or to wake up the sad-eyed guide, or to surprise the visitors from the rural districts, but to warn the instructor, that it is time to assign a lesson to his class and let them go joyfully on their way.
Spring Is Here.
So saith the calendar. So saith the green backed almanac, for the trees are beginning to shoot, and the flowers will soon be armed with their small fire weapons. So saith Webster, for it is the season of the year when plants begin to vegetate. Yes, Spring is here. Soon the "bare foot boy with cheeks of tan," will be abroad in the land, and the melodious "vent dubbs," "play you for keeps," and "three times and out" will be at its height. Not only the bare-foot boy, but the big boy,—whose bigness is an obstacle to the bareness of his feet—he, too, will soon be heard from. The tennis fiend will soon begin his racket—no pun intended—and "love-all," "deuce" and "net" will be with us once again. The graceful youth in tight fitting garments of white will soon be running for home, or "striking out," so some one else may take his place. The young maiden—notwithstanding the failure in the ice crop—already begins to long for cream. And the young maid-
en's fellow already begins to shiver. The contagious fever, so prevalent at this time of the year, has made its appearance and is claiming its victims by thousands. The weary student hath not his lessons. He feeleth tired. These moonlight evenings he leaveth his books, knowing that they will not walk away, and finding some fair companion, he promenadeth for several hours under the quiet stars.
This is the vernal season of the year when the prep. begins to count the days until the spring vacation, when he can go home and see his ma, and who can blame him? Soon the Freshman will walk the fields in search of flowers. But beware of groups of two. Science has many times been conquered by sentiment. The Freshman's spring time is a critical period in his life. The Sophomore and Junior pursue the even tenor of their ways.
But the noble Senior now dawns his plug and longs for more worlds to conquer. But amid all these pleasures and gayeties, these sports and games, these moonnight walks and midnight serenades, there sits alone in his room the poet, mightiest of all coining his verses on the "Advent of Spring." But enough. The calendar is right, the green backed almanac is right, Webster is right. The season of spring is at hand. Bring on your poems.
A K. S. U. Man Again at the Front.
Though not personally acquainted with R. W. E. Twitchell, the subject of this sketch, we believe we voice the sentiment of the entire student body in congratulating him on his success so far in life. Though Twitchell, known to the old students as "Twitch" left school in his Junior year, he soon commenced the practice of law and has made quite a success of it in Sante Fe N. M. At present he is district attorney and acting solicitor general for N. M. and we believe he is a candidate for secretary of the Territory, under the new administration. The other day he rendered a decision on the beef inspection law in N. M. He declares the present law in force, in the territory, unconstitutional, and at the same time that the law in the hands of the combines will prove a veritable boomerang and do only injury to the community it was designed to protect.
When ever a K. S. U. boy makes what, we in the west, call a "strike" in the world, the old student, who has not seen as much as the top of the towers on the main building for years, rejoices with the undergraduate. Both are animated by the same feeling,—that of rejoicing over anything that may add prestige to the name of K. S. U. Though the old student who may happen to know the lucky one, during college happy days may also feel a personal gratification engendered by friendship. The student of to-day may possibly make up for this in youthful enthysiasm.
Although a little previous, perhaps, THE TIMES would like to make a suggestion in regard to commencement week. It will do to think over at least. Several persons in and around the vicinity of Lawrence, have already manifested their intention to hear Senator Evarts. The front seats of the chapel will probably be pretty well

If not the students will have to camp before the doors, the afternoon before. But we now speak for reserved seats.
Senator Moody Lectures.
The chapel was well filled Tuesday evening, by a thoroughly representative University audience. As Senator Moody, after being introduced by Prof. A. G. Canfield, stepped forward, he was the recipient of hearty applause. His subject was Cabeza de Vaca, and for almost two hours he held his audience, with a description, interesting and instructive, of the explorations of this early Spanish explorer. We are able to give only a brief synopsis of the lecture.
Cabeza de Vaca preceded any other explorer, by at least six years, in placing his foot on Kansas soil. He was a forerunner to those who came after him. Cabeza printed the first narrative of his adventures in Spain in 1542. For 300 years this was unread, but was at length translated.
Cabeza was a government officer and in company with a number of others, he set sail early in the 16th century for the land across the ocean.
In 1528 the company arrived off the coast of Florida, here they found evidence that they had not been the first to visit that country. The company divided here never again to unite, 300 went on land, 100 stayed in the ships. The Indians told of the wonderful abundance of gold to the west, in the town of Apalachie. They set out and traveled 15 days, when they came to a river and had a fight with the Indians. From thence they continued on their journey toward the city they sought. In June they come to the Swaunee river and were shown many honors by the Indians, who conducted them to the town of Apalachie. They entered and found the warriors away from home. They found no gold. When the warriors returned a peace was made, and the adventurers unknowingly made themselves prisoners and were unable to get away. After several attempts they escaped and got to the mouth of the Appalachicola river, where after many hardships they succeeded in making boats and getting away.
They embarked in September in five boats, 247 all told. They steered toward the setting sun. After traveling 30 days they stopped for water, and were caught on the land in a very severe storm. They finally got water, but were driven on board the boats by the Indians and compelled to stay there. On November 9th, 1528, after the boats had been separated by storm, Cebeza and a few of his companions landed on Santa Rosa Island. A few days later more of his companions joined him, and they decided to stay all winter.
While here, Cabeza learned the arts which aided him in his trip across the country a little later. He got hold of the superstitious beliefs and worked on them so that he became known as
the "Child of the Sun." His companions got away, but he was kept prisoner one year, but in the last part of 1529 he was released and went to the main land where he acted as a merchant tor six years. His object was to find out a way to go forward. He was always well treated.
In 1536, in company with three others, he started north-east and wintered on the Tombigbee river. He describes the inhabitants as great smokers and drunkards. In May he again sets out, and soon came to the mountains in northern Alabama; he crossed and pushed on west, crossing the Mississippi river at least six years before DeSoto. He then went across a great plain and came to the Arkansas river, following this 17 days, and this was the time they were on Kansas soil; then for 17 days more they went towards New Mexico. After spending some time there, he went to Mexico and found Cortez.
The speaker ended by paying Capeza a glowing tribute, as he it was who first placed civilized foot on our now valuable domain.
Exchange Clippings,
Vassar has abolished its preparatory department.
Conspicuous among our new exchanges this week is "The Texas University" published by the literary societies of the University of Texas.
It is a Journal of 50 pages, neatly edited and arranged, and contains much that is interesting and instructive.
We are glad to note the arrival of the College Transcript, published by the Senior class of the Ohio Wesleyan University It is a Journal of excellent parts, but we see no reason why the Seniors should presume that all ability and worth, is found alone in their own ranks. A paper published as is the Transcript by one faction cannot be called a representative paper nor can men chosen from one particular element understand the peculiar wants and needs of the great student body. That the Transcript is published by that peculiar specimen of humanity, 'the knights of the plug' would appear from the following extract from the editorial column. "We are gratified at our success and in the knowledge that the Transcript is unsurpassed by any of our exchanges."
In the Ohio state oratorical contest the first place was won by E. H. Hughes of Wesleyan University.
A graduate of a distinguished English University has lately written a pamphlet to show that the authorship of the comedies and tragedies ascribed to Shakespeare were written by Sir Anthony Shirley. Why don't some ingenious student of Shakespeare prove that that much disputed genius was born on our own continent?

Canon Doyle, in an article on the "Geographical Distribution of Eminent Men in Great Britian," finds that Scotland ranks first, with one man of distinction to 22,000 of the population; England next, with one to 31,000; then Ireland with one to 49,-.000; Wales last, with one to 58,000.
The richest University in the world is said to be that of Leyden, Holland. It has real estate to the value of $6, 000,000.
England has only one college paper edited by undergraduates, namely The Review, published at Oxford.
Cornell expended $500,000 on new buildings last year.

Bishop Bowman laid the corner stone of the college of Fine Arts on University Heights, San Diego, Cal., Sept. 21st. The building will cost $1,000,000, and will be the most magnificent art building in the United States, if not in the world.
For the present no Academic course will be laid out in the University of Worcester, which was recently endowed by J. S. Clark. The aim is to meet the needs of the graduates of other colleges who wish to pursue studies in special branches, to the full extent of the world's knowledge. Special attention will be given to the various branches of the mental and physical science. There will also be full facility for original research equal to the best German Universities.
A Sophomore, stuffing for examination, has adopted the ethics of Sunday work in a way to render the future elucidation of the subject unnecessary.

Palladium.
At the last meeting of the Kent Club the current events were given very fully and thoroughly by two gentlemen, Wm. Herdman and Ackly, the greatest talkers of the Junior class.
Kent Club.
A resolution was passed to respectfully challenge the Orophilian society for a joint discussion some time in April, and a committee of three, Hobbs, Wayde and Enns, were authorized to confer with the representatives of Orophilian. The Club then adjourned.
The question, Resolved, That the negro vote has been detrimental to our country, was discussed by Gray and Enns, Finfrock and Herdman.
Palladium at her last meeting submitted her pent up stores of eloquence to an appreciative collection of students. Enns and O'Leary and Moore and Couch wielded the invisible wand of oratory, and completely whipped the losing side. The subject for consideration was the Divorce Law. On account of the needs and burning appeals of the debaters, the law was not limited nor made more stringent than it is at present. Examine the program for this week.

General discussion.
Orophilian.
Had a well attended meeting last Friday evening, not withstanding the many attractions. The program was exceedingly interesting It consisted of a declamation by Mr. Soderstrom, Orations, by R. R. O'Leary and G. M. Sherer. The question, Resolved, That our cabinet officers should have seats in congress, was debated by H. E. Copper and R. R. Whitman in the affirmative, and W. T. Caywood and C. E. Street in the negative. Decision in favor of the negative.
The regular election of officers then took place. W. W. Brown was chosen President and R. D. O'Leary Secretary. The committee reported that Prof. Marsh would lecture before Orophilian and Atheneum on the evening of March 29. It was decided to hold a joint meeting with the Kent Club the evening of April 12th. The special features will be a paper by C. M. Enns, entitled "A Russian School Boy's Literature;" good music, and last, but not least, a rousing debate between both societies. It was decided to give a reception to the seniors. The favored ones are F. E. Reed, E. E. Squires, W. T. Caywood, A. L. Sloan, Miss. Newlin. Next Friday the selection of a June Program will take place.
Athenæum.
This Society's hall was filled by 8 o'clock to help sing college songs. Prof. MacDonald spent half an hour leading the singing, when the society was called to order by president Chapman. A great number remained to listen to the literary exercises, which were the best that have been presented for some time. After recess the regular debate was postponed and the society elected officers as follows: President, W. D. Ross; Vicepresident, M. W. Wixon; Secretary, Fred McKinnon; Sergeant-at-Arms, C. F. Humphrey; Musical Director, R. D. Brown; Critic, W. A. White; Reporter, C. S. Hall.
The resignation of Mr. Christian as debater on the June program, was accepted and H. S. Hadley was elected to fill the vacancy.
Political Science Club.
Although a very large audience was not present at this meeting last Friday evening, the program was a good one and well repaid those in attendance. As neither Congress nor our legislature is in session, the only current report of the evening was on Finance and Industry, which was given in an interesting manner by F. C. Schrader. C. E. Street read an interesting paper upon the Australian Ballot System, which was illustrated by blackboard drawings. H. F. M. Bear gave a brief history of Local Government in England, and an amusing description of the present form. V. L. Kellogg then described the

Democratic rule this week. The easy flowing, inimitable style of H. F. M. Bear will be noticed to beam forth from our columns.
On with the Annual, "Let joy be unconfined"—and also the pens of the several editors.
Our neighbor seems to have begun a series of editorials on Religion, Plan of Salvation and Orthodoxy. We also remember that a large and ferocious animal once meandered into a china shop.
Several complaints have come to our ears of late, as to such and such things which THE TIMES has neglected to notice. Many requests have been made to us to agitate in our columns, this or that project, to right many supposed wrongs, to criticise this or that "manner of doing things."
To all such we would say again, that it is our desire to make THE Times, truly a student's paper. And if you have any article of news, which you wish to see in print, just whisper it in the ears of one of our reporters, and it shall be printed. If you
have any views to express, any eulogy or philippic. any bits of verse or gems of thought, which are struggling for utterance, our columns are open to you. And last, but not least, if you wish to read the news, the latest and the best, not clouded by prejudice and weak with age; if you wish to know what the students of K. S. U. are doing and thinking about, why take THE TIMES.
Contests.
The TIMES believes it to be a matter of deep regret that contests at K.S.U. have fallen into—in democratic phraseology—innocuous desuetude: not by the will of the students, but by the order of the faculty. We believe it to be a great mistake. K. S.U. is a grand institution. Loved by all her students, she has a record to be proud of, and a future filled with brightest prospects. But with all this, she is rivaled, yes surpassed, in several points by the smaller colleges of our State, especially in interesting and profitable contests.
Look at Washburn. Every month her students have some kind of a contest; a prize debate. a contest in declamation or oratory, or a splendid musical entertainment given by her students. What is the result? Their college life is not a monotonous drudgery. These friendly contests keep up the interest in all literary work. There is not time for any rust or depositions of dust It creates a rivalry. an activity that ever keeps alive the college spirit And is time thrown away that is taken up in preparation for these contests? A book-worm might say, yes. Then deliver us from worms. Ask those who have taken part in contests. Their answer will be, that they have derived more benefit from these contests than from any text book they have ever studied. And contestants are generally the best class of students.
It is these contests that have given Washburn her Brewster, and threaten to send his peer to Lawrence, next February, to again take off the prize. It is this college life and activity that made such a grand showing for her at Emporia last month. There was her orator, her glee club, her cherubs, her banners and colors, and almost every one of her enthusiastic sons and daughters were there to sound her praises. Going out of the hall that night we heard the remark, "This, just as an advertisement, has been worth one thousand dollars to Washburn College," and so it was. We do not wish to disparage our own University spirit, in this comparison, for "Mr. Rock Chalk" cannot be outdone in loyalty, when the time and place call for it.
But while Washburn compared to K. S. U. is as a mole-hill to a mountain or an ant to an elephant, yet we believe we can learn a great deal from the lesson she taught us at Emporia, and from her college spirit at all times. It does not work up just before the State contest and then work down again, but it keeps up at high-water mark the year around. And it is these numerous contests and entertainments that keep alive this spirit and develop all latent talent, until it ceases to be latent and becomes very active, indeed.
Now let us look at ourselves.
Where are our contests? Echo answers from without the faculty chambers—Prohibited by Law. Where are our glee clubs, our entertainments, our lecture course, our literary contests? These too, seem to be prohibited by law. Oh, yes, we are too busy working for 1's and getting 3's, too busy stealing books and quarrelling over honors. When will this twaddle cease? When will we awake from this stupor—this troubled dream?
Some day we hope the "Contest Edict" of last year will be revoked, and that it will be remembered that there is just a little of this world, outside of the two lids of a book. Factions, let them be among the students, but let them only meet in friendly rivalry, with one object and one purpose. Schemes and combinations would then give place to true worth and talent. And an opportunity would then be offered to show the blood we are made of. For if united, with the purpose of making the best of our advantages, there is no college or university, not only in Kansas but in all the West, that can defeat us in any field of action. We have the material, that is certain.
Let us think of this, and in spite of all disadvantages begin with a determination to hasten the day when K. S. U. shall be a model University in every respect.
The Annual
Hurrah! Hurrah!! Hurrah!!! We are to have an Annual. It is so denominated in the bonds. The officers have been chosen, and sufficient funds have been guaranteed to insure its issuance. The University is to be congratulated. After several annual attempts, success has crowned the efforts of 1889. Bickerings and jealousies have been placed aside and the students for once are almost united. We are sorry we have to say almost. Of course there are bound to be some "who wont play" if they can't have their choice of games. Such childishness is part of human
Such childishness is part of human nature. It cannot be helped. So on with the Annual. May it be a credit to the University, and it will be.
With White and his able corps of assistants to push the pencil, and with two such rustlers as Street and Morris, to look after the dimes, there is no such word as fail. Accept the greeting of the Times.
The Regents Meet.
The new Board of Regents Meet.
The new Board of Regions held their first meeting last Monday evening, when an organization was effected as follows:
Vice-President, M. P. Simpson; Recording Secretary, C. S. Gleed; Auditor, C. R. Mitchell;
Committee on Instruction: C. S. Gleed, W. C. Spangler, J. F. Billings.
Committee on Libraries: W. C. Spangler, C. S. Gleed, J. A. Lippincott.
Committee on Finance; M. P. Simpson, Joel Moody, C. R. Mitchell.
Committee on Buildings and Grounds: Joel Moody, J. A. Lippincott, C. S. Gleed.
Committee on Lands and Endowments: J. F. Billings, C. R. Mitchell, M. P. Simpson.
Committee on Reports and Publications: M. P. Simpson, C. R. Mitchell, J. A. Lippincott.
Tuesday morning the salaries of the professors not stated in the bill were decided upon. In the afternoon the method of spending the money in the Department of Natural History and Physics was fixed upon according to rulings, on the basis of the Moody bill. which takes effect next year.
How the capacity of the library room may be increased if at all; when, where and by whom the $5,000 for books shall be expended. in what proportion it shall be distributed among the departments, were questions that were but slightly discussed. The whole subject was referred to the committee on library for consideration, with instructions to report at the next meeting of the Board.
Chancellor Lippincott signified his intention to resign, but no formal resignation was handed in. At his suggestion a special committee was appointed to inquire into the matter of the chancellor's successor, and report in the future. Mr. L. L. Dyche was elected a professor to have charge of Anatomy, Physiology and Taxidermy. Mr. Will C. Stevens of the class of '85 was elected assistant in Natural History. Prof. J. H. Canfield was at last given a prospective assistant, the professor to retain charge of the department.
The next meeting of the Board will be on April 30.
A Wail.
The occasional growls from the Times regarding professors holding their classes over time, do not seem to have the desired effect. There are only two or three serious sinners in this respect, but they trespass enough on the patience of their students, to make them weary of life and seriously impair their digestion,—if it happens to be the one o'clock bell. Let us hope and pray that the guilty ones will use a little caution hereafter in this matter, and consider the fact that the first bell does not ring merely for fun, or to wake up the sad-eyed guide, or to surprise the visitors from the rural districts, but to warn the instructor, that it is time to assign a lesson to his class and let them go joyfully on their way.
FRESHIE.
Spring Is Here.
So saith the calendar. So saith the green backed almanac, for the trees are beginning to shoot, and the flowers will soon be armed with their small fire weapons. So saith Webster, for it is the season of the year when plants begin to vegetate. Yes, Spring is here. Sooon the "bare foot boy with cheeks of tan," will be abroad in the land, and the melodious "vent dubbs," "play you for keeps," and "three times and out" will be at its height. Not only the bare-foot boy, but the big boy,—whose bigness is an obstacle to the barrenness of his feet—he, too, will soon be heard from. The tennis fiend will soon begin his racket—no pun intended—and "love-all,'" "deuce" and "net" will be with us once again. The graceful youth in tight fitting garments of white will soon be running for home, or "striking out," so some one else may take his place. The young maiden—notwithstanding the failure in the ice crop—already begins to long for cream. And the young maid-
en's fellow already begins to shiver. The contagious fever, so prevalent at this time of the year, has made its appearance and is claiming its victims by thousands. The weary student hath not his lessons. He feeleth tired. These moonlight evenings he leaveth his books, knowing that they will not walk away, and finding some fair companion, he promenadeth for several hours under the quiet stars.
This is the vernal season of the year when the prep. begins to count the days until the spring vacation, when he can go home and see his ma, and who can blame him? Soon the Freshman will walk the fields in search of flowers. But beware of groups of two. Science has many times been conquered by sentiment. The Freshman's spring time is a critical period in his life. The Sophomore and Junior pursue the even tenor of their ways.
But the noble Senior now dawns his plug and longs for more worlds to conquer. But amid all these pleasures and gayeties, these sports and games, these moonlight walks and midnight serenades, there sits alone in his room the poet, mightiest of all coining his verses on the "Advent of Spring." But enough. The calendar is right, the green backed almancie is right, Webster is right. The season of spring is at hand. Bring on your poems.
A K. S. U. Man Again at the Front.
Though not personally acquainted with R. W. E. Twitchell, the subject of this sketch, we believe we voice the sentiment of the entire student body in congratulating him on his success so far in life. Though Twitchell, known to the old students as "Twitch" left school in his Junior year, he soon commenced the practice of law and has made quite a success of it in Sante Fe N. M. At present he is district attorney and acting solicitor general for N. M. and we believe he is a candidate for secretary of the Territory, under the new administration. The other day he rendered a decision on the beef inspection law in N. M.
He declares the present law in force, in the territory, unconstitutional, and at the same time that the law in the hands of the combines will prove a veritable boomerang and do only injury to the community it was designed to protect.
When ever a K. S. U. boy makes what, we in the west, call a "strike" in the world, the old student, who has not seen as much as the top of the towers on the main building for years, rejoices with the undergraduate. Both are animated by the same feeling,—that of rejoicing over anything that may add prestige to the name of K. S. U. Though the old student who may happen to know the lucky one, during college happy days may also feel a personal gratification engendered by friendship. The student of to-day may possibly make up for this in youthful enthusiasm.
Although a little previous, perhaps, THE TIMES would like to make a suggestion in regard to commencement week. It will do to think over at least. Several persons in and around the vicinity of Lawrence, have already manifested their intention to hear Senator Evarts. The front seats of the chapel will probably be pretty well

Why cannot a portion of the chapel be reserved exclusively for the students upon this night? At least the members of the literary societies should be provided for. If not the students will have to camp before the doors, the afternoon before. But we now speak for reserved seats.
Senator Moody Lectures.
The chapel was well filled Tuesday evening, by a thoroughly representative University audience. As Senator Moody, after being introduced by Prof. A. G. Canfield, stepped forward, he was the recipient of hearty applause. His subject was Cabeza de Vaca, and for almost two hours he held his audience, with a description, interesting and instructive, of the explorations of this early Spanish explorer. We are able to give only a brief synopsis of the lecture.
Cabeza de Vaca preceded any other explorer, by at least six years, in placing his foot on Kansas soil. He was a forerunner to those who came after him. Cabeza printed the first narrative of his adventures in Spain in 1542. For 300 years this was unread, but was at length translated.
Cabeza was a government officer and in company with a number of others, he set sail early in the 16th century for the land across the ocean.
In 1528 the company arrived off the coast of Florida, here they found evidence that they had not been the first to visit that country. The company divided here never again to unite, 300 went on land, 100 stayed in the ships. The Indians told of the wonderful abundance of gold to the west, in the town of Apalachie. They set out and traveled 15 days, when they came to a river and had a fight with the Indians. From thence they continued on their journey toward the city they sought. In June they come to the Swaunee river and were shown many honors by the Indians, who conducted them to the town of Apalachie. They entered and found the warriors away from home. They found no gold. When the warriors returned a peace was made, and the adventurers unknowingly made themselves prisoners and were unable to get away. After several attempts they escaped and got to the mouth of the Appalachicola river, where after many hardships they succeeded in making boats and getting away.
They embarked in September in five boats, 247 all told. They steered toward the setting sun. After traveling 30 days they stopped for water, and were caught on the land in a very severe storm. They finally got water, but were driven on board the boats by the Indians and compelled to stay there. On November 9th, 1528, after the boats had been separated by storm, Cebeza and a few of his companions landed on Santa Rosa Island. A few days later more of his companions joined him, and they decided to stay all winter.
While here, Cabeza learned the arts which aided him in his trip across the country a little later. He got hold of the superstitious beliefs and worked on them so that he became known as
the "Child of the Sun." His companions got away, but he was kept prisoner one year, but in the last part of 1529 he was released and went to the main land where he acted as a merchant tor six years. His object was to find out a way to go forward. He was always well treated.
In 1536, in company with three others, he started north-east and wintered on the Tombigbee river. He describes the inhabitants as great smokers and drunkards. In May he again sets out, and soon came to the mountains in northern Alabama; he crossed and pushed on west, crossing the Mississippi river at least six years before DeSoto. He then went across a great plain and came to the Arkansas river, following this 17 days, and this was the time they were on Kansas soil; then for 17 days more they went towards New Mexico. After spending some time there, he went to Mexico and found Cortez.
The speaker ended by paying Cabeza a glowing tribute, as he it was who first placed civilized foot on our now valuable domain.
Exchange Clippings,
Vassar has abolished its preparatory department.
Conspicuous among our new exchanges this week is "The Texas University" published by the literary societies of the University of Texas.
It is a Journal of 50 pages, neatly edited and arranged, and contains much that is interesting and instructive.
We are glad to note the arrival of the College Transcript, published by the Senior class of the Ohio Wesleyan University. It is a Journal of excellent parts, but we see no reason why the Seniors should presume that all ability and worth, is found alone in their own ranks. A paper published as is the Transcript by one faction cannot be called a representative paper nor can men chosen from one particular element understand the peculiar wants and needs of the great student body. That the Transcript is published by that peculiar specimen of humanity, 'the knights of the plug' would appear from the following extract from the editorial column. "We are gratified at our success and in the knowledge that the Transcript is unsurpassed by any of our exchanges."
A graduate of a distinguished English University has lately written a pamphlet to show that the authorship of the comedies and tragedies ascribed to Shakespeare were written by Sir Anthony Shirley. Why don't some ingenious student of Shakespeare prove that that much disputed genius was born on our own continent?

For the present no Academic course will be laid out in the University of Worcester, which was recently endowed by J. S. Clark. The aim is to meet the needs of the graduates of other colleges who wish to pursue studies in special branches, to the full extent of the world's knowledge. Special attention will be given to the various branches of the mental and physical science. There will also be full facility for original research equal to the best German Universities.
A Sophomore, stuffing for examination, has adopted the ethics of Sunday work in a way to render the future elucidation of the subject unnecessary.

At the last meeting of the Kent Club the current events were given very fully and thoroughly by two gentlemen, Wm. Herdman and Ackly, the greatest talkers of the Junior class.
Kent Club.
The question, *Resolved*, That the negro vote has been detrimental to our country, was discussed by Gray and Enns, Finfrock and Herdman.
Palladium
A resolution was passed to respectfully challenge the Orophilian society for a joint discussion some time in April, and a committee of three, Hobbs, Wayde and Enns, were authorized to confer with the representatives of Orophilian. The Club then adjourned.
Palladium at her last meeting submitted her pent up stores of eloquence to an appreciative collection of students. Enns and O'Leary and Moore and Couch wielded the invisible wand of oratory, and completely whipped the losing side. The subject for consideration was the Divorce Law. On account of the needs and burning appeals of the debaters, the law was not limited nor made more stringent than it is at present. Examine the program for this week.

General discussion
P. L. SOCIETY.
Orophilian.
Had a well attended meeting last Friday evening, not withstanding the many attractions. The program was exceedingly interesting It consisted of a declaration by Mr. Soderstrom, Orations, by R. R. O'Leary and G. M. Sherer. The question, Resolved, That our cabinet officers should have seats in congress, was debated by H. E. Copper and R. R. Whitman in the affirmative, and W. T. Caywood and C. E. Street in the negative. Decision in favor of the negative.
The regular election of officers then took place. W. W. Brown was chosen President and R. D. O'Leary Secretary. The committee reported that Prof. Marsh would lecture before Orophilian and Athenaeum on the evening of March 29. It was decided to hold a joint meeting with the Kent Club the evening of April 12th. The special features will be a paper by C. M. Enns, entitled "A Russian School Boy's Literature;" good music, and last, but not least, a rousing debate between both societies. It was decided to give a reception to the seniors. The favored ones are F. E. Reed, E. E. Squires, W. T. Caywood, A. L. Sloan, Miss. Newlin. Next Friday the selection of a June Program will take place.
Athenæum.
This Society's hall was filled by 8 o'clock to help sing college songs. Prof. MacDonald spent half an hour leading the singing, when the society was called to order by president Chapman. A great number remained to listen to the literary exercises, which were the best that have been presented for some time. After recess the regular debate was postponed and the society elected officers as follows: President, W. D. Ross; Vicepresident, M. W. Wixon; Secretary, Fred McKinnon; Sergeant-at-Arms, C. F. Humphrey; Musical Director, R. D. Brown; Critic, W. A. White; Reporter, C. S. Hall.
The resignation of Mr. Christian, as debater on the June program, was accepted and H. S. Hadley was elected to fill the vacancy.
Political Science Club.
Although a very large audience was not present at this meeting last Friday evening, the program was a good one and well repaid those in attendance. As neither Congress nor our legislature is in session, the only current report of the evening was on Finance and Industry, which was given in an interesting manner by F. C. Schrader. C. E. Street read an interesting paper upon the Australian Ballot System, which was illustrated by blackboard drawings. H. F. M. Bear gave a brief history of Local Government in England, and an amusing description of the present form.
V. L. Kellogg then described the Ballot System, as used in England.
An interesting discussion followed each paper, and the meeting was enjoyed by all present.

Dear Sir—In Armenia, I must say that my ordination examination would be head in a fortnight. I had only ten (10) days in which to prepare for the Exam. I should recommend a year's preparation in the case of any one so utterly weakened my natural memory, strengthened my natural memory that I was able to remember and give the gut of any book after reading it once. I therefore read LightFoont, Proctor, and the other open, and was successful in every edition of the book. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.
Faithfully yours.

The paper read by L. A. Stebbins last Monday night on Ballot Reform, was an able and interesting statement of the abuse of the present system of voting, and a clear and concise account of the reforms which have been adopted in many of the so-called doubtful States. The Australian system has been adopted, with some modifications, in a number of States, and will in all probability become general throughout the United States.
The story-telling feature of the social hour which followed the paper, was highly entertaining. Miss Brown told the story of the Dark Day of 1780; and Enns delighted the audience with some of his Russian stories, which he tells in such a delightful manner.
Pi Beta Phi Entertained.
Next Monday Prof. W. H. Smith will give an exhibition of mesmerism, or hypnotism, before the club. In order to avoid a crowd a fee of ten cents will be charged, and only a limited number of tickets sold. Students can obtain them from Whitman, Harrington or Enns.
The members of the Pi Bata Phi were the recipients of a delightful entertainment last Saturday afternoon. Mrs. W. H. Carruth invited the young ladies to her home to listen to a lecture on Miss Louise M. Alcott, by Mrs. Whitman. She gave a charming picture of that noble woman's life, and read several letters written by her to Mr. Whitman, recalling many old time associations, and giving such glimpses of her daily life as to bring her personality very near to those present, all of whom had felt the influences of Miss Alcott's bright teachings.
After the lecture dainty refreshments were served, and a social time enjoyed. Mrs. Carruth's kindness in giving the young ladies this treat will long be remembered.
At the Junior meeting yesterday the girls out voted the boys and carried the day, they being in favor of a picnic. They decided that the boys should furnish the lumber wagons and straw, and they (the girls) would do the best they could get their Land-ladies to prepare some sorghum molasses and corn bread. The boys are now circulating a petition favoring the picnic grounds on the prairie a mile west of the University, and modestly suggesting that it might be conducive to the good health of the terminine portion of the class to be allowed to perambulate. How nice that will be. Don't you wish you were a Junior?

Washburn has a spring vacation of one week beginning next Monday.
The sighing of the March wind (of a week or more ago) aroused our spring poet.
Even Chief Miller finds the TIMES interesting reading. He turns the lights on some "strange societies in Universities."
Washburn seems to have transferred her interest from base ball to tennis this year. Somebody must have told them about Shilling and Davis, and they are already acquainted with Mr. Voorhis.
Still another rare treat is in store for theatre goers. We may all yet have a chance to see Booth; and not only Booth but Barrett and Mojeska, all upon the same stage. What an array of grandeur, grace and beauty. Who would not go many miles to see them? Such a strong combination of theatrical talent seldom greets the public.
Although Lawrence may not be favored yet, they promise to appear at K. C. during the coming season.
Verily the Annual boometh. The boys are sparing no pains to make it a credit to the students and the University. The arrangements are all made for its publication. The financial backing is assured, and we understand that elaborate cuts of various prominent University "birds"—of the Jay species especially—have already arrived from the factory at K. C. Some of them are very appropriate and quite emblematic of several species which have been accustomed—until their pin feathers were plucked—to flap their wings semi-occasionally in our halls. All that is now necessary is to attach the pedigree and these disfigured combatants will again be recognizable by their friends.
Home talent has also been employed. Mr. French has been busy photographing the interior of our museums. A cut of that part of Snow Hall known as the buffalo room will appear with Prof. Dyche looming up in the center. Another of the geological museum with the familiar face of Judge West. Yes, and the Greek museum will not be slighted either. Two views of it have been taken and these promise to be special features. And the Seniors. Who would begrudge the whole price of the Annual for a fine composite photo-engraving of the renowned class of '89. To be sure the Juniors may be a trifle jealous, but will take a copy on the sly just for a model of perfection, that they must try and equal in days to come. You are right when you conclude that all these cuts and engravings cost money. The boys are expecting to make an outlay of at least $100 or such as the above, aside from the numerous comic cuts which will appear promiscuously. It is estimated that at least $600 will be required to let the boys out. Although a part is guaranteed the boys are relying on the University spirit being uppermost in the heart of every loyal K. S. U. student and ready with dollars to support and reward them for their efforts. Come on, boys, we are ready with our dollar.
Probably one of the most enterprising, wide-awake men who ever received training in our halls is John Sullivan, at present located in Kansas City. While John was with us he was known by all as a shrewd manager, both in the political and newspaper field.
Many an old timer will recall the day when he stood at the helm and issued his famous decree,—“Fraternity rule must be broken.” John always had an eye to business; never was found idle. Although those unacquainted with his tactics may sometimes have thought that he was hibernating, yet he always kept both ears and at least one eye open, and at the first break of the cloud he was found in the thickest of the flight. We find him to-day as yesterday,—at first Secretary of the Democratic Club of Kansas City. he resigns that position to accept the Presidency—thus all the while taking a most prominent part in politics he follows in the course portrayed by his work in college. Then you will say we must surely find him connected with some newspaper. Yes, and you are not mistaken; we are in receipt of the Rosedate Record, The Westport Record and The Blue
Valley Record, all at this time under the management of our old friend. Besides all this he has carried on a paying business during the real estate boom in Kansas City. John is a rustler. The Times prophesies a rich harvest for him.
All who attended the contest at Emporia, can bear witness to the fact that Washburn has one of the finest, possibly the finest, glee club in the state. This club in conjunction with Washburn's Cherub Quartette, has lately given a concert in Topeka, which was a complete success and the club won many laurels for Washburn college. We believe the boys attribute their success, as an organization, largely to the management of Prof. Phelps. Such a club should be, and is, the pride of Washburn. Why cannot some man be found in K. S. U. who, like Prof. Phelps, will sacrifice a little time to effect such an organization here? We have plenty of talent. No one who keeps his ears open these glorious evenings and drinks in the warbells of the merry serenader can doubt that. Let some one speak up and volunteer leadership.
Professor J. H. Canfield says that he was asked recently to sign a petition to President Harrison asking for the appointment of a gentleman to a consulship. The petition was preceded by the application of the candidate from which the following is taken: "If appointed it is the applicant's intention to make a study of the dental school systems and of the method of the education of dentists in Europe, and especially of Hungary. To study the condition of the human teeth of the people of Hungary. To examine and tabulate the condition of the teeth of pre-historic races, especially the Huns, of whom relics and skulls are accessible. Dentists instantly recognize the scientific value of this work." The professor is quite curious to see whether this "dentist" secures the coveted position. The most remarkable thing was that the petition had the name of at least one highly intelligent and reputable gentleman.
The March number of the Review is before us. It is a bright, interesting, and well edited issue. The purely literary department is filled with selections, both poetry and prose, from the pens of our best known University writers, which for general interest and attractiveness are seldom equalled. The editorials as a whole are newsy, well written and to the point. Then comes the Month; the cream of thirty days of busy bustling University life. The editor of this department is no respecter of persons, is anything but hypocritical, and is, we think we can safely say, not given to flattery. Let come what may he has his way. One or more of the principal acts of each day is chronicled in his diary. Our society people; our political intriguer (who always comes out dans le bouillon); and the truly good, all share the same fate. One thing we are rather sorry for is, that our friend Billy has so far overcome his large bump of sympathy as to paste such a healthy plaster over the hole, into which our politicus magnus (?) had hoped to make
good his retreat, that he has deprived him of the last consolation of even peering into the vacant oratorical "pot" from which he (politicus) has been gaining comfort by almost convincing himself that what might have been almost is. What a delicious "roar!"
A universal query—"Are we going to have a spring vacation?" All are expecting it about the time of Arbor day, notwithstanding the fact that it was hinted by the powers that be, that we could only have Washington's birthday this spring.
The boys want to have sometime to practice for Field Day; the girls want to go out with rake and spade and clear their tennis court; and in fact quite a number think the professors are overworking them (selves.) What do you say?
For some reason our regular literary societies have not been as flourishing during the last three years as formerly. This decline has been attributed to a falling off in the literary spirit of the students, and again to the rise of the societies for special research in the different departments, such as the Political Science Club, Science Club, Kent Club, Philological Club and others.
As to the first reason, it is evidently not true; and the special societies speak for themselves. University society work has been, to some extent, turned into new channels, but the spirit which sustained the old literaries is as full as ever.
It is plain that the tendency in our College is to special work. Students come here to take a course in Civil Engineering, Chemistry, Modern Languages, Political Economy, English, etc.; and they naturally wish to and should work in a society organized for research in their special line. Formerly students studied in one or two courses and their energies were all directed toward the regular literary society, which might be called the offspring of the classical course. Work now is more definite and not so general. To this tendency to special study and its natural result—the society of special research—is due then, to some extent, the non-flourishing condition of our general literary societies. But is there reason to believe that the latter have no place in our College work? Is the present condition due entirely to the cause above stated? We think not.
The present condition is due largely to a number of unfortunate circumstances. First, when the faculty passed the rule requiring afternoon work and refused to open the University evenings, it took away the ablest and best workers from the literary societies, and was nearly a death blow. During the time they were so crippled, various societies and clubs were formed down town, such as Garfield Club, Excelsior and Webster Debating Club, which afterward formed the nucleus for Athenaeum, which was composed entirely of sub-freshmen and a few freshmen members, they not having work in the afternoon.
When the University was opened evenings, last fall, a great many of the students were out of the habit of attending a University society, the old members joined one of the special societies. Take Orophilian, for example, the members who used to be depended on, came but once in a while and took no interest; the younger members who had been in the habit of depending on them, still looked for them to move, so things drifted along. But the new members are now awake and see that they must work out their own salvation. Thus we see a combination of causes for the present condition of the societies, and cannot attribute it to the special societies.
Now what is the field for the general literary society? All students study in the same courses for the first two years, before they begin their optional studies. They are getting the fundamentals in their college education. Now it seems to us that to insure the best results in the special society, the student should not, in most cases, enter until his Junior year; with the beginning of the special study begins the special work. Let the first two years be spent in the general literary society; the last and more mature, in the special. Then the student will have learned to speak easily and to the point; he will have been used to writing essays and presenting them. This is precisely the training needed before good work can be done in the special. The work of a lot of new students in political economy or science would have little value. In this way the literary society is an important step to the special society, and each has an ample field.
Let every freshman or sophomore join either Orophilian or Athenaeum, and we fell assured that no matter what special line their work may be in. they will fall that they have been incalculably benefited by so doing. The testimony of the ablest and best men who have ever graduated is to that effect. If a student intends to make the best use of his education he should be able to tell what he knows of any subject, simply and to the point, as well as write it. This will come from work in the literary society. Above all, every student should belong to some University society. If there be one who does not, let him join immediately. Do not make the excuse that you have not enough time, if you do not waste any more than you waste in literary work, you will live, "to be an angel by and by. R. R.
Law Department
A good joke is going the rounds on Bishop. Last week he went over into Jefferson County to try a case before Chief Justice Cherry, a local J. P., who has the reputation of being decidedly pig-headed and unreasonable. Some point arose in the case and Sam proceeded to lay down the law as decided by the Supreme Court; but the old man stopped him and said "See here, young man, I can stand it to have an old lawyer talk to me, but when it comes to a young one I never know whether he is telling me the truth or not, so we'll just go on with the case".
The first ball game of the season was played between the Senior and Junior Laws last Saturday and resulted in a score of 6 to 3 in favor of the Seniors, it being agreed before hand that the first twenty scores were not to be counted. The special features of the game were Hobb's home run, Gray's successful attempts to fan the wind, and Finfrock's vain efforts to catch a ball.

A large audience greeted Hon. Geo. R. Wendling at Plymouth Church last Tuesday night. It is needless to say that the University was well represented, by students and professors. Mr. Wendling has been a favorite with our students for several years, and those who heard him in his new lecture, "Popular Delusions," Tuesday evening, will ever remember it.
This lecture is one of his best, while it does not furnish occasion for such eloquent flights as "Saul of Tarsus", and other lectures, yet it abounds in wit and wisdom, with lots of "common sense". And mingled with this, there is enough of the grand and beautiful to bring out the powers of the orator.
At the beginning of his discourse, he extended his hearers a cordial invitation to take a walk with him down the avenue of life, saying that during this time they would find much to laugh at, much to weep at, and many delusions both serious and ridiculous. And for nearly two hours he held his audience, viewing the many delusions of life. He first glanced at history and showed how many people have been deluded. In financial matters, he painted out the great Mississippi scheme of 1720, which shook for a time the very continent of Europe; the East India enterprise in England; the tulip craze in Holland, when the Dutchman would gladly pay $2,000 for a simple flower.
Then coming down to the present day, he divided his subject into three divisions—delusions in the political social and religious world.
He deprecated the present delusion of many of our young men in their desire to enter politics, in search of fame and renown; the custom of office seeking. It is a delusion though that our public service is growing more corrupt. He showed that quite the contrary is true. In the social field he held up to ridicule the common delusion of "family," the "honest farmer," and kindred topics. The common delusion that our race is retrograding physically and morally, was also dwelt upon. Morally and physically, our race is better to-day than ever in the world's history, and we are laying a foundation for a grand intellectual development. In religion, he pointed out the delusion of mistaking emotion for religion. He believed that the last century of progress has not been so much due to science as to religion; that the heart, instead of the mind, has been the great enemy of superstition; and that, "love thy neighbor as thyself," will soon connect the whole world into one universal brotherhood.
All in all, Popular Delusions is one of Wendling's best lectures, eloquently delivered, and well worth the hearing.
We are pained to note the death of Miss Agnes Clarke, one of the University's most prominent young lady graduates, which occurred very unexpectedly on the 20th inst. Miss Clarke had, since her graduation, devoted herself most earnestly to the study of the modern languages and had made especial advancement in the study of Spanish. During her University work, Miss Clarke was universally admired as a kind and loving friend, a diligent student and gave
every promise of the success which she has since attained in her chosen work. A sympathizing student public extend their condolence to the bereaved parents.
Exchange Clippings.
Pacific Pharos is a new arrival this week; it is a bi-weekly publication from the University of the Pacific. It is well edited and its literary columns are filled with well written, spicy articles, which are of interest to every student. Many of our exchanges could profit by a careful scrutiny of such a model journal as "The Pharos".
From the position The Washburn Reporter gives to her advertisements, we should presume that it is their intention to revolutionize journalism. Such a method may bring success financially; but we doubt if it adds anything to the literary worth of the Reporter, as a college journal.
The faculty of the University of Missouri have recommended to the Board of Curators the establishment of fellowships and scholarships in that institution. It is recommended that the sum of $2,000 be set aside annually from the general fund of the University, and appropriated to the founding and endowment of five fellowships to be known as the fellowship in metaphysics and mathematics, the fellowship in physics and chemistry, the fellowship in Greek and Latin, the fellowship in modern languages and English, and the fellowships in geology and biology to be awarded at each commencement by a two-thirds majority vote of the faculty. There is also a sum of $600 set aside for the endowment of six scholarships to be known as classical, literary and scientific, to be awarded to those students in the Junior and Senior year as shall have reached a high excellence in their respective subjects, from which the scholarships in question are named.
The March number of The Western School Journal, is deserving of special mention. It is full of information with which every teacher should be familiar, and contains many interesting suggestions by the leading instructors of the state.
The students of the college of Emporia have determined to publish a college paper.
The Ottawa Compus, in speaking of the oratorical muss, suggests that the matter be buried deeply, and that the hostile factions embrace each other over its grave.
Yes, dear Campus, we are willing at heart, but you must remember we have a stomach.
We are glad to note among our exchange this week, The University Argus, published monthly by the literary societies of Missouri State University. It is a most unique volume, neatly arranged and edited, contains many articles which show careful thought and study. We hope Argus will be a regular visitor.
Rev. Ezekiel Robinson has resigned his position as president of Brown University, and professor of moral and intellectual philosophy in that institution.
Plagiarism and anonymous journalism are popular subjects of discussion in most of the college journals.

Science Club
W. B. Hilton has been detained from classes this week, on account of sickness.
The Pharmaceutical society, is getting up her 'rep'. in the way of valuable and interesting lectures. Two weeks ago Prof. Dyche lectured on evolution and those present have the pleasure of knowing themselves, in no way, related to the monkey. Last Friday Prof. Blake lectured on German Scientists and Scientific Schools, humorous as well as very instructive. This Friday Prof. Snow will lecture on Bacteria, a subject in which every one is interested. This course is the best that has been offered this year and they are free, and everybody is invited to enjoy them with us.
In spite of the many other attractions, about twenty five "scientists" gathered around the long table last Friday night and joined in opening song. The first paper of the evening was on the dissection of an eight legged calf, by Kellogg and Eames. The monstrosity was found to be in reality two calves with a common head, the skull having two openings for the two spinal cords. There was only one heart but the aorta branched for the two circulatory systems. The dissection furnished a number of very interesting although very difficult problems in embryology. The subject was illustrated by Kellogg and Eames by blackboard sketches and other means. Mr. W. S. Smith followed with a paper on Bird Migration, giving some of the results of the scientific investigations now being made in this obscure branch of ornithology by a large corps of observers in different parts of the United States.
The migratory birds were divided into winter visitors, summer visitors, residents and transients. The manner and time of migration and the rate of travel of different species varied greatly, perhaps twenty-three miles an hour may be considered the average rate, although wild geese can fly 40 miles or more an hour and keep on the wing for a distance of 500 miles. The theories of the cause of bird migration, such as the scarcity of food, the change of weather, etc. do not fully explain the phenomenon.
Mr. Smith's paper showed careful study and much of individual investigation and thought, which it is the aim of the club to encourage. An interesting discussion followed in which many took part.
Miscellaneous notes on scientific subjects were contributed by several members. Mr. Weida mentioned a new compound of phosphorus, spoke of the action of electricity in dissipating vapors, and gave further details in regard to the decomposition of cobalt and nickel. Prof. Bailey told of some practical experiments by Prof. Mallett in the University of Pennsylvania on the action of alum in baking powders on the human system. The results seemed to show that the alum is not poisonous although it may tend to produce indigestion.
Mr. W. S. Franklin mentioned the death of Clausius, the great German mathematician and physisist to whom we owe the conception of electric potential.
A centipede was exhibited, which has just been presented to the University. It measures full twelve inches in length and is therefore the largest known to be in existence. Harvard has a centipede which is eleven and one half inches long, and has offered $75 for a larger specimen. The University will not part with its prize.
Mr. Richard Burbeck, an old member of the club, was called on for a speech and gave a good talk on his experience in rail-roading.
Kent Club.
Mr. Nichols informed the law students that no incidentals would be charged next year, which news was received with much applause.
Markley in his extemporaneous speech pointed out the dangers of the "meat combine," thinking it impossible for himself to be a vegetarian and still retain his 180 lbs. avoidupois.
In an able paper on "The Human Will and Reason," Mr. Gray defended human will, at the same time maintained that the strongest motive was identical with the will.
Harrington gave sketches of all the supreme judges of Kansas, and earned much applause.
The report of the committee to make arrangements for a joint discussion with the Orophilian was accepted, and two debaters, Mitchell and Lee Herdman, were duly elected to meet the enemy. In conclusion a number of able parliamentarians amused themselves by hurling motion upon motion at the head of Pres. Enns, to amend, to commit, to be previous, and heaven knows how many more beasts of that nature. The president was completely buried under them, but was happily disinterred at 10 o'clock; and so Enns still survives.
Is codification a success? was the question that racked the minds of the debaters, but evidently without any practical results, as the decision stood $1 \frac{1}{3}$ to $1 \frac{1}{4}$, one of the judges having been cut in twain by the argument offered.
When March Winds Sigh.
When March winds sigh
And kiss the frozen checks
Of Nature;
The ice locked streams and rivers yield,
And, happy in the freedom from restraint,
Rush gladly down their channels
To the sea.
When March winds sigh
The pulse of Spring begins to beat
In quick delight,
And throbbing in the excess of its joy
Wakens the plants and flowers from their sleep,
Which plume themselves to ready growth
When March winds sigh
And whisper to the leafless shrubs
and trees
That Spring is here;
The gratetul branches nod a glad assent
And soon from out their tender vesture peep
And peep their heads.
When March winds sigh
The robin and the blue bird come again
To pipe their lays.
And loud from some tall steepe or a tree
The ceaseless tapping of the wood-bird 'tsets
That Spring in all its glory
The many bursting buds And tiny leaves.
That Spring in all its glory Has arrived.
When March winds sigh
And wild geese northward wing
their flight
In rapid line;
The hunter haunts the creeks and fens,
And ever and anon the woodlands ring
With quick report of gun
Fired eagerly.
When March winds sigh
The farmer turns the willing soil
athwart
And sows his grain;
And over field and meadow float the sounds
Of busy labor, mingled with the song
Of joyous lark, and hum
Of busy bee.
When March winds sigh
And light winged zephyrs woo the
the voice of Spring
In gentle tones;
The heart of youth exultant leaps for joy ;
And blushing maidens, conscious of the art
Make conquest with their charms
In shy demur.

AMUSEMENTS.
——UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.——
No new organization to impose upon the public, but the original mammoth Boston Ideal Co. This is the first Uncle Tom's Cabin Co. which has been able to get into St. Joseph for six years, and they jump from Lawrence to St. Louis, where they play at the People's Theater for a week, being the only Uncle Tom's Cabin Co. ever admitted to that house. Read this: The Boston Ideal Uncle Tom's Cabin Company played at the opera house last night to a packed audience. A fine performance of the whole play was given, and the audience testified their approval with many outbursts of applause.—[Springfield, Mass.] Daily Republican.
At the Opera House to-night. Seats on sale
Hollingbery always makes clothes that will fit you.
KATE CASTLETON.
The Chicago Herald, of Monday, October 29th, says: Miss Kate Castleon, who is a jolly little creature with a way of her own, introduced a new skit at the Chicago Opera House last evening to a well-pleased audience. This new manifestation of farcical eccentricity is called "A paper Doll," possibly for the reason that the author could think of no more inappropriate name. What it is all about no one ever will know to any great extent, but there is a great deal of singing and dancing, much of it unmistakably pleasing. Among other things Miss Castleon sings "The Spider and the Fly" song very cleverly. She is assisted by Peter F. Dailey, a naturally humorous comedian, and Mr. Bertie Coote who makes his nimble legs quite useful to the performance, and Messrs. Tannehill and Seabrook who are clever in their own way. Such a composition as "A Paper Doll" staggers all serious consideration. It was not intended for serious consideration.

Dear Shr- In April, 1958 a student noticed that my ordination would be held in a fortnight. I had only ten (10) days in which to prepare for the Exam. I should recommend a year's preparation in the case of any one so utterly strong, and that I should have strengthened my natural memory that I was able to remember and give the gist of any book after reading it once. I therefore read Lightfoot, Proctor, Morshem, & &c., once, success in every test, the present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.
Faithfully yours.
