PERSONALS.
Since the agitation of the subject of mesmerism, two young gentlemen have taken it upon themselves to sit in the library and try their mesmerising powers on the other students there. They claim to find lots of fun in it, especially in the anoyance it causes the young ladies, who are thereby caused to suffer in the cause of science.
Scene in logic class, Wednesday morning—Student: “What is a conditional syllogism?” Chancellor: “Well, here is one as an example: If John stole the book, John is wicked. John stole the book therefore John is wicked.” The class bursts into a rear of laughter, which is continued tor about five minutes. The chancellor himself, smiles audibly, and seems to see the point. So the much mooted question is at last settled by the highest authority in the University. Congratulations.
George M. Culver is a Beta.
S. M. Cook, a K. S. U. graduate of '85, and at present principal of the Solomon City schools, will open the first county high school in this state under the new State law, next Sebtemtier at Chapman Dickinson County.

We give space this week to an article, on "College preparation for newspaper work" by H.H. Fletcher in The Writer, which has been copied by several of our exchanges and will no doubt be of special interest to those of our students who anticipate entering the journalistic field. We hope to have the space to conclude the article in next weeks issue.
College Preparation for Newspaper Work.
Year by year journalism is drawing to itself more and more of the best brain of American colleges. It is especially attractive to those collegians who find themselves unable, from lack of means, to pursue a post-graduate or professional course, and who are oblged to adopt some pursuit which promises the immediate return of a livelihood. While the tendency on the part of newspaper publishers to draw from specialists the finest product of their intellect will steadily increase with the development of thought and extension of scientific knowledge, still there will always be in the ranks of the routine workers 600m for vast numbers of college graduates who may be unable to pursue supplementary courses of study leading to the professional and special careers. These will find immediate and remunerative employment in the news gathering and news editing departments. As bread winning is a necessity with such students at the start, and as the salary paid will depend upon the value of the worker to the paper employing him, the most important question with such students is how to make themselves of the most value at the beginning of their newspaper careers. What can these young men do while in college to prepare themselves for active newspaper life?
Now, it is often said, and justly, that the only place where the art of journalism can be properly learned is in a newspaper office. It is equally true that the only way to learn the carpenter's trade is by an apprenticeship to a skilled carpenter. Still, if a young man enters upon such an apprenticeship with a thorough knowledge of the use of tools and of the elements of geometry, his advancement will certainly be more rapid than if he lacked such knowledge. By study and practice he can learn to saw and plane, draw a square or triangle, and otherwise perfect himself in the elements of his craft. It is likewise true of other trades and professions, journalism not excepted, that much can be learned of a preparatory nature before the actual business of acquiring them is begun.
There are four accomplishments of great value to practical newspaper workers which can be to a considerabe extent acquired during college days, the practice of them furnishing a pleasant change from the regular college routine. These are type setting, stenography, type-writing and telegraphy. While no one of these is absolutely essential to getting a livelihood on a newspaper, yet the possession of any one of them is a guarantee against penury; while he who is an expert, either in the first three or the last three, will find himself possessed of a ladder by which he can, other things being equal, climb with ease into a lucrative position in newspaper life.
A practical knowledge of the printer's art, besides being a help in every department of newspaper work, and in many cases a stepping stone to it, is well nigh indispensable if one would rise to managerial responsibility. In the large cities competition among newspapers is so fierce that the margin between dividend and deficit may be easily compassed by a slight extravagance in the mechanical department, which the manager familiar with
all the details of his business will discover or prevent, but which is more than likely to escape the eye of the novice in printing, Again, the most attractive papers, typographically considered, will be found to be those where the managing editor is sufficiently familiar with the routine of the composing room to be able to superintend in person the "make up" of the "forms" and secure the greatest prominence possible for the most taking features of the paper. This bringing out of especial features and making the whole paper show up for all there is in it is one of the most important parts of a journalist's work and that part on which, more perhaps than any other, success depends. It requires both "news sense" and printer's art and should never be left exclusively to the foreman. In small newspaper offices knowledge of printing is still more essential. The editor of a small daily is frequently required, a half hour before press time, to rush to the case and assist his hurried compositors in setting up an important despatch or "local" just in. Many a practical printer is easily and happily making his $2,000 or $3,000 yearly by conducting a small daily or weekly in some shire town, while the highly but not practically educated collegian is burning the candle at both ends in the large cities for half that income. The ever widening West offers an almost unlimited field for the establishment of small papers to grow up with the country, but in most such cases the editor must start as his own foreman, if, indeed, he is not obliged to constitute his entire force, from leader writer to office boy in his own person.
Continued next week.
There has been some very vigorous sub rosa profanity in our classic halls lately when a number of our hardest students, who have been calling themselves Juniors and Seniors, find that they are classed as sub-freshmen.
We do not claim to know where the fault lies, but this institution is certainly afflicted with an insufferable amount of red tape in this particular. Students who entered as Freshmen with diplomas from high schools, which filled every particular for admission to this class, have lately found by accident that they are marked in arrears in some study which was a part of the high school curriculum. If the high school does not fill the requirement for admission to the Freshman class, it should not be on the list in the catalogue; and if it does, the graduate who enters the University should be credited with everything in its course. His diploma is prima facia evidence that he has passed in those studies.
Quid Est?
Why require a member of the present Sophomore or Junior class to hunt up some high school principal who may have been dead five years, in order to get a sworn statement that the aforesaid student passed in physical geography when he was barefooted and wore knee-pants? The next move will be to make it one condition of graduation from this institution that the candidate should present his pedigree back to the time of William the Conquer, duly attested by the Secretary of State and the minister of the country from which his ancestors came.
Chemistry has come and gone: botany came in last week in blushing confusion. Soon the verdant Freshy will be seen scouring the fields and meadows for the "flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la." Tra la la la all -a excuse me, I so sometimes get feverish and excited when I think of flowers. They speak such a various language. Wonder if they built a tower of Babel too, and got confused. Bet they did and bet that accounts for their numerous dialect. But as I was going to say when I interrupted myself, the little plants have begun to shoot and hence the curious student will soon begin to examine pistils, commune with nature and revolver in his mind. He may be seen some balmy spring day, sauntering up towards Cameron's bluff, on the lookout for dog-teeth violets. Of course he knows nothing of the nature or extent of these bulbiferous specimens of plant life; if he did, he would not be humming "white wings" over so confidently to himself; he would be think himself of a more appropriate gurgle. Anybody but a Freshman knows that the bulb to this flower existeth from one feet to two feet below the crust of the earth; that the necessary requisites for its upheaval are a long bladed butcher knife and a large determination. Well, Freshy reaches the bluff and soon his eye falls upon the delicate tints of the beautiful flower. I don't mean that his eye really fell upon the flower, but he sees it, he looks upon it; he then stoops to conquer. If his vocabulary isn't exhausted in fifteen minutes, he may live to the completion of his design.
Dog-teeth violets, though, are nothing to false indigo. False indigo has a root as long as some people's tongues. Yes it's longer in fact than some people's tongues, methinks it's hard, knotty substance, reaches the dark cavernous regions of Pluto's realm and saps its existence from the Lethe; of course I couldn't prove this, because I never explored those regions, but that's my opinion. Some people, however, think the termination of the false indigo's stem is like the north pole—though no one ever saw it, yet there is an open see around it. See? I don't believe this last theory, though. But avaunt! false indigo, I'll none of thee.
The time will come when it will even be necessary to beard the lion in his den—that is, of course, the dandelion. It all depends on how you go at it. If you have the spirit of Daniel about you, there's no need of trouble. If you haven't got that spirit, you must get it; it's indispensable. That flower's a compositae; it carries more pistils than some people do money. It's got a briandle complection that turns off white in its old age. So much for the dandelion. But then there's the dear little pale faced anemone. Who can look upon it, without seeing it? I vainly protest no one can. The Greeks called it the wind flower. The Greeks thought they were smart. May be they were; but they hadn't any business to call this meek little blossom a wind flower.
There are also the violets. I don't mean dog-teeth violves, but just the regular violves. Some people call
'em Johny jump ups. I don't know who they're named after. They grow along in the valleys where the "moon-light sleeps upon the bank." They like moonlight. So do I for that matter. So do lots of other people I know. Moonlight's very suggestive. It has such a mellow, benign influence on one—or two. Perhaps one of the best known of flowers is the ragweed—food for the gods. I think the gods must have been hard up. I think they must have had a civil war amongst themselves and been reduced to the very verge of famine. At least this ragweed has the appearance of a verge. So much for flowers.

K. C. Times:—The Hutchinson Republican, with Will T. Little editor, and M. H. Curtis manager, is the latest arrival in the journalistic field.
Can it be that this is our W. T. who is seeking fame in journalism? We had expected to see his name among the legal lights of western Kansas.
LATER.
Yes, true it is. We have before us Vol 1, No. 2, of the Hutchinson Republican, a neat seven column octavo. It takes but one glance down the editorial columns to assure us that they are the product of the same fertile brain which used to coin many bright and interesting items for the Review and Courier.
Will Little although not a graduate of K. S. U. is well known by all students of two and three years ago as an able and energetic young man and just such a man as will soon make the Republican one of the best papers in central Kansas.
As we might well expect, Will still remembers the rhymes of by gone times and knows just where to credit them, as the following item appearing under his heading of "Kansas Folks" demonstrates.
"A UNIVERSITY BOY."
'An article in last Sunday's Capital—Commonwealth is devoted to the poems of Eugene Field, in the Chicago News. One of them quoted is to the refrain 'God bless you.' 'Gene Field is a jewel, but for once he has arrived on the ground too late. Several years ago, Will Carruth, a student at the University of Kansas, now German professor there, wrote a pleasant little poem, very similar in thought to Mr. Field's, and, to our mind, superior, as a poem.
We quote a couple of verses :
We quote a couple of verses:
When you've struggled hard and long,
And the battle has gone wrong.
And a world of cares oppress you,
Like cool waterats from a spring.
Like the balm the south winds bring,
Are the simple words, 'God bless you.'
Be his faith in James or Paul,
One God, many, or none at all,
Whose kind lips the words address you.
Nothing matters; when it needs,
Doubts, philosophies and creeds
Are forgotten in 'God bless you.'

The members of the old oratorical association have for the past month tried to convince themselves and some others, that because the members of the new association didn't come around and on "bended knee" beg of them to take shares in the new association, that the boys were not willing to give them their quota; but no one is so anxious to dispose of his stock in this association. The stock has been selling at a premium and no one could reasonably expect that any stock would be surrendered at par, to those who have been plotting to overthrow the new association, until at least it was asked for.
The above explanation may have some weight with the students of Ottawa and Baldwin, who may have listened to the piteous plea of any representative kickers who may have escaped from our city a week or more ago.
They came back sadder; but wiser men. A fresh coat of "soup" has almost changed their audacity to meekness, and they have since asked like gentlemen for their shares and in each case they have received them.
--are generally capable of keeping their own counsel.
We are glad to learn that there is a move on foot to form an interfraternity base ball league this spring. The friendly contest held on the "diamond" two and three years ago did more to harmonize the feeling aroused between the various fraternities by political strife and contentions, than a dozen "jamborees" could possibly have done. K. S. U. was almost the pioneer in adopting such a system of sports between the fraternities and many colleges have followed her example, Ann Arbor and California University are prominent among the number. By all means let us have inter-fraternity contests not only on the "diamond" but on the tennis court.
Young Mr. Admire of Topeka, has been interviewing Mr. Davis at Beauvoir, and this is what he says of the "arch rebel:" "His voice is soft and mellow, inspiring one with the idea that its owner is kind and indulgent to those he loves, while his gentle face shows no signs of aught but goodness," Why, this must be treason.

A PROPOSAL.
So I plead for one expression for the factor you and me.
Oh! unclose those lips like roses, say you'll not my spirit vex.
Give for present unknown quantities the value wished for $x$,
Then the parson's transposition makes our sweet equation plus,
And the future's evolution will extract the roots for us.
CONJUGATION OF AMO.
"You hate the Latin conjugation?"
Thus she questioned me last night.
"But the conjugal relation—
Don't you think, now, that's all right?"
"Amo, amas"—do you wonder
That I here succumb to fate?
And she said when I grew fonder,
"Emo she would conjugate."
T was evening and the village chimes
Most musically chome.
The graceful cow and warlike calf
Unanimous hied home,
The bleeting sheep in chorus biote ;
The squealing piggies squole ;
The tout ensemble being quite
Bucolic, as a whole.
Two lovers, happy, hand in hand
Stole stilly to the stile;
The crickets cricked, the owlets 'owled
Bats beat about the while.
The katydids in unison
Together katy-dode;
The whippoorwills set up their cry
And ominously crode.'
The genial skeeter hummed his hymn,
And bote his baneful bite.
She tried to say a tender pome,
But couldn't quote it quite.
And when he gope a mighty gape,
She smole a sickly smile—
There was not (for the sake of rhyme)
A mole within a mile.
She heaved a mighty deep-drawn sigh,
And he in answer soghed ;
And round her taper, shrinking waist
His manly coat-sleeve gloode,
Then, while the distant curfew peal
Lugubriously pole,
She drew a pickled onion forth,
And cody ate it whole.
Exchange Clippings.
The March number of the College Mercury, published by the college of the city of New York, contains a sixteen page supliment, giving a detailed description of the Alumni dinner at which over two hundred graduates of that institution were present.
The youngest college president in the country is the Rev. Dewitt Hyde of Bowdoin. Three years after his graduation he was called to Bowdoin where he has given great satisfaction.
The March number of the University Review presented a very classical appearance.
It is evident that the author of the article on the "Co-education of the Sexes" in the Nebraska Central Collegian, belongs to the old fossilized pessimistic school. Like that historical character, Rip Van Winkle, he awakes and finds himself half a century behind the age. He seems still to cling to the old delusion that students of a university or seminary are mere children and ought to be under the same "wholesome" regulation as a kindergarten.
The gentleman who wrote the article may perhaps need the 'wholesome' restraint and vigilant eye of a faculty, but most students are able to discriminate between right and wrong and
We notice that several state institutions, among them the Universities of Texas and Missouri, have taken steps to establish fellowships and scholarships. This is a plan our own university ought to take under consideration. By this means the youth of ability and ambition throughout our own state and neighboring states are attached to the university and are afforded opportunity and encouragement for further and perhaps original research in special lines of study.
Among the most interesting exchanges this week is "The Kerk" a literary journal published by the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is well edited and contains some strange and interesting items, devoting much space to theological subjects. Were it not for that strange appearance, characteristic of foreign publications, the Kerk might be suspected of being an American journal.
The last number of the Baker University Index contains several well written articles.
We welcome the Collegian to our table this week.
The Lincoln University came to our table this week, it is a four page sheet and contains many interesting items. It is published by the Lincoln Academy, Lincoln, Neb.
The College Transcript contains an interesting article entitled, "Collegium et Fraternitos." It discusses at length the establishment, influence and nature of college fraternities, and gives the testimony of the presidents of several leading institutions where fraternities are established.

A PROPOSAL.
A PROPOSAL
The street was full of mud and soot;
The two in deep discussion stood,
She was dressed in nutty suit,
He wore a check and appendage hirsute.
With all her might she urged her suit;
With all his might did he refuse
Her, and swear she would not suit,
Unless there was the cash in boot.
She asked her pa; he was resolute.
The lover swore he'd bring a suit,
And the cash question then did moot
And—gad the end of that father's boot
Prof. Snow's March Report.
Only five Marches of our twenty-two years record have been warmer than the month just closed. The rainfall was normal and the winds were of low velocity and the sky was slightly cloudier than the average. White maples were in blossom on the 11th, dog-tooth violets on the 20th, and elms on the 22d. The weather has deen highly favorable for the wheat crop. Peach buds are in fine condition.
Political Science Club.
Expecting a large attendance Friday evening the Club held its meeting in Snow Hall Auditorium. All societies of the University adjourned to attend the meeting, and with the many visitors from the city, formed an audience that fairly filled this spacious room.
By mutual consent of the Professor, and Students upon the program, it was decided to table the general program and tender the entire evening to Regent C. S. Gleed of Topeka. The policy proved a good one for Mr. Gleed's paper, of a pleasing length, and interesting throughout, afforded the audience ample food for thought. His subject, "The moneyed Value of an Education" was thoroughly discussed, to use Mr. Gleed's own language, from a purely hog and corn basis.
It is obvious that when the question of education is raised in the minds of the masses, the first thought is to measure it upon this "hog and corn" basis, and unless the time spent in acquiring knowledge at once yields rich returns in ringing coin, it is looked upon as lost. Hence by many individuals education is abandoned as a financial failure.
How erroneous this idea is, was clearly set forth during the discussion of the evening. It was plainly shown that there is great demand for cultured and well trained individuals in all the various so called professions. Nor is this demand less imperative in the business world. But demand, in the professional and business world of the day, means a willingness to give a fair compensation for value received. Both these spheres are
ready to pay a high price for skillful service rendered.
Mr. Gleed's ideal of an educated man is not a mere book worm, a rhetorician, a precise writer etc., but a man with broad views, copious knowledge, and all his faculties so developed and trained as will enable him to turn his knowledge to practical account in the various and shifting avenues of life.
The speakers own observations have proven to his mind the importance of educating the gentler half of our race. During the last few years he has been thrown into company with five hundred or more young men contemplating matrimony and within this range he has observed that in the choice of a companion for life, the educated girl was almost universally in demand. This is truly encouraging to the young women who are creditably mastering the courses in our higher Universities. If a young lady would command for herself a high price in the form of a cultured and worthy husband, she has but to put that price upon herself by developing her intellectual faculties, fitting herself to become an agreeable and useful companion.
In short the speaker denounced neglect of intellectual groth and training as gross sin, but commended the persuit of it as one of the most noble duties that man has to perform.

Speaking of Mrs. Cranwell, the K. C. Times, Oct. 11, '88. says:—Miss Minna Wright Cranwell made her first appearance before a Kansas City audience as a dramatic reader. Her first selection, "Child Lost", was well rendered and elicited an encore, to which she responded with "Bobolink." "The Jiners," by Burdette, in the second part of the program, was much en joyed, her Irish dialect being perfect and her manner taking. She was recalled again and read another hmorous selection, "Katie's Answer." Mrs Cranwell has a clear, strong voice and is gifted in the deliniation of both tragedy and comedy.

Dear Sir—In April, 1983, the department 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 year's preparation in the case of any one so sad as you are. I should have strengthened my natural memory that I was able to remember and give the gist of any book after reading it once. Therefore read lightfoot, The Gift of God, and was successful in every one of the nine papers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.

To be sure I was itching to join a "frat" and so "bit," but it will never do to let it be known that I was "duped" ,"so for the sake of our dear barb friends, to whom I must now be loyal, I want you to circulate the report that I was "onto" this affair all the time—see "P?"
Barb: "That's so, we must get out of this somewhere, and that is the only alternative—so here goes—I'll spread that report at once."
J. O. H—o: "Yes, and I'll swear that I had a pistol in each boot, etc."

Murat Halstead, by a unanimous vote of the board of Regents of the State Agricultural College, has been invited to deliver the commencement address of that institution on June 11. Can it be that this is a political straw of any significance?
At last we are to have a joint debate between two societies. The Kent Club challenged Orophilian to a joint debate and the latter society accepted the challenge. The Kent Club elected Mitchel and Crane to represent it; Orophilian elected Street and Copper. In addition to the debate Mr Enns will read a paper, and music will be interspersed throughout the program. The question selected by the debaters, is, Resolved, That the present system of municipal government in the United States is a failure. This is a good question and with the men to handle it whom the societies have selected, the debate will, no doubt, be one of the most interesting discussions of the year. The debate will probaly be held in Orophilian hall. It should be well attended by the students. This is the first debate of the kind
that has been held since the literary societies began to wane, and it should not be the last one. For it is in just such debates as this that K. S. U. used to train her orators that have so often led her to victory in InterCollegiate Oratorical Contests.
In the masterly address on "The government of cities," delivered by C. S. Gleed, at the sixth annual meeting of the State Bar association, in Topeka, in January last, the full text of which appears in the recently published proceedings of the meeting, among a number of very interesting and valuable things ably discussed, Mr. Gleed makes a statement which will, we are confident, excite the pride of every true Kansan. It is this: "Kansas has sent a young man into the world from her university, as a chemist, who has done more to give Chicago good water and pure milk, and pure food generally, because of his work in the field of chemistry, and in his exposure of the various frauds in the food line, than any other influence at work in the great city. I refer to John H. Long, formerly of Johnson county.—Atchison Champion.
John Harper Long, above referred to, was graduated from the University with the class of '77 and is at present professor of chemistry in Chicago Medical College. He has made many inventions and has conducted research in his special department which has placed him in the foremost rank of American chemists. We are proud to own him. He is one of the brightest lights in K. S. U.'s long list of honored alumni.
We are in receipt of Vol. I No. 1 of the Wesleyan Lance, a very neat well edited news and literary journal, published by the students of the Kansas Wesleyan University at Salina. This institution, although young in years, already has a faculty composed of men, who, in point of ability and experience, rank far above many of older and better established colleges. It requires but a glance at their publication, The Lance, to determine what class of students Kansas Wesleyan has enrolled. We find the editorial board composed largely of the delegates to the State Oratorical Convention at Emporia last February. They are of that wide awake energetic class who believe in pushing their institution into prominence by their individual efforts. It was such a spirit which gained for them (unanimous) admission into the State Association. Right here we might say that as K. W. U. has one of the best instructors in elocation to be found in the West, it will be well for other institutions to guard well their laurels for K. W. U.'s representative in next years contest will doubtless surprise us all. As for the Lance of course it cannot equal our Review but we predict for it a brilliant future. We have it on our "list" and will be pleased to receive it monthly. Vive le Lance.
Six inside views of the University are being engraved for the Annual. New engravings of the different buildings will also be used. These two things alone will make the Annual the best advertisement the University has had for many years.
College Preparation for Newspaper Work.
[Continued from last week.]
Many other arguments might be advanced to show how essential a knowledge of printing is in the newspaper work; but how is the college student to attain this knowledge? Opportunities may not be abundant in all colleges, but there are no colleges so remote from cities and large towns that some opportunity is not available. A half holiday spent once a week in practice at the case of some well equipped printing office will result before four years are up in some solid acquirement. Vacation might be wholly or partly utilized in the same way. I have often wondered why college boys do not print their own publications. There is a great scramble every publication day among college editors to get together funds enough to pay the printing bill. If the editors would learn the most essential part of their business this expense might be saved, or, what is perhaps better, it might be paid to those of their number—and there are always such—who find it equally hard to pay their own bills. Thus the local college printing office can be made an additional opportunity for impecunious students and would thus accomplish a double object. Good journeymen printers in large newspaper offices earn from $15 to $25 a week, and many of them graduate to the editorial force. There is no more rapid road to the editorial chair for an educated man than that through the printing office.
The reporter who is not a stenographer labors under a serious disadvantage in these days of verbatim reporting. First-class stenographers get from twenty-five to forty cents a hundred words from the largest dailies for well prepared, accurate copy. Compensation is equally liberal for other work outside of journalism. A stenographer should be able to work the typewriter with celerity and write out his notes himself. Otherwise he will be compelled to employ a typewriter assistant and thus reduce his income. Typewriter copy is very popular in all newspaper offices and bids fair to supplant long hand copy in course of time. The Associated Press report in most important offices is now received on the typewriter by operators who write the report direct from the wire. Specials received at the local offices are also manifold or the typewriter for distribution among the newspapers, and the use of this deft machine as a copy producer is bound to increase everywhere. Both stenography and typewriting can be acquired in a college more easily than either of the other two arts mentioned in this article. The taking of ser mons, lectures end recitation notes furnishes abundant opportunity for practice and a welcome variety for the mind. While more easily acquired they are more important, on the whole to the beginner in newspaper work and more likely to be called into frequent use.
The volume of telegraphic news collected and distributed to great journals has increased enormously in the past few years, and in the offices of newspapers of importance the telegraph operator has taken his place beside the news editor as a permanent
fixture. In the editorial sanctums of the greatest papers several wires are manned. The receiving and sending of news matter, as prepared by the reporters and correspondents, is excellent training for editorial work. The "nose for news," as well as style, expression, vocabulary and a knowledge of newspaper methods, are acquired in this way, and graduations from the telegraph table to the editorial desk are common occurrences. During the past few years I have known a number of telegraph editors who have advanced from the key to positions of prominence in journalism, and their success in newspaper work is to a considerable extent due to experience gained as telegraphers. One of these is now the secretary and general manager of one of our largest press associations, which transacts a business aggregating nearly half a million a year. Another is a widely known and highly valued Washington correspondent; a third is the New York news agent of a large Boston daily; still another is the sporting editor of the same paper, while the fifth is on the reporter's staff of a New York journal. The list might be extended at will. Not one of those mentioned above possessed the advantage of a college training. The man who can take an important address in shorthand from the lips of a speaker, and then sit down at a telegraph key and transmit his report to his paper from his note book, is far more valuable to that paper than would be a walking encyclopedia without that special ability. During the great Marca blizzard in 1888, the Boston Globe secured the first news about the situation in New York, beating all its contemporaries by half a day, because its New York correspondent was a practical telegrapher, and knew how to tap a wire and transmit news, as well as how to write.
Considerable progress in telegraphy can be made by the formation of college telegraph associations, and the stringing of wires from room to room. Such an association was a pleasant feature of college life at Williams ten years ago, and the chief operator at New York of one of our most extensive telegraph systems gained his first experience as electritian for the college association, and in "subbing" for the Western Union local A thorough mastery of the science of electricity in the college laboratory, and the amateur practice of telegraphy during four years of college life will prove of inestimable value to the would-be journalist.
Students can further adapt themselves for newspaper work by a study of the newspapers themselves in the college reading room, noting the different methods of treating the same topics by different papers, according to the constituency each has to reach. A good deal can be learned also about such routine matters as paragraphing, punctuation and "heading up" by observing the variety of style which prevails among papers with regard to these matters. Head lines are built for the purpose of calling attention in the most emphatic way possible to the points in the article supposed to be of most interest to the paper's readers. Over news items they are supposed to convey an adequate idea of the contents of the item and bring out
boldly its most startling feature. The student can, for practice, attempt to improve on the headlines in various papers, and can probably succeed in improving them in many cases. Again, he can observe the style indulged in by various writers, and, in forming his own, he must remember that style is often of more consequence than matter, and that some writers, humorists, for example, are of great value to their papers, not so much from what they write from as how they write it. The same rule applies in part to news reporters. Often enterprising searchers for news that one is of most importance to his paper who can write up his article in the most novel and entertaining way. The public appetite for novelty in style is insatiable, and reporting is getting to be almost as much a business of searching after style as of searching after news.—H. H. Fletcher in The Writer.
There has been some talk among the lovers of athletic sports in regard to having a field day. Let the good work go on. Field day is a permanent thing in most of the eastern colleges. K. S. U. without doubt, has some fine athletes, and if only the proper encouragement was given them by the student body, an athletic tournament could be arranged that would do credit to any college in the United States. It will be remembered by some of the older students that in times past, K. S. U. has possessed athletes that have lowered Yale's record in some things, and there is reason to believe that we have as good athletic material now, as we did in the days of old. All that it requires to make a field day a success this year is the assurance that suitable prizes will be offered to the winners. We venture the assertion that each paper in the University, a number of the professors and some of our business men can be prevailed upon to offer a prize for some athletic achievement.
We suggest that the best way to put this movement on foot is to immediately call a mass meeting of the students and select a committee that will take upon themselves the responsibility of making the proper arrangements for a field day.
We sometimes think that judging from the number of times some of us are approached by the ever vigilant college news reporter that there is nothing of interest which can escape him. The same might be said of the exchange editor who is ever and anon clipping from this and that college exchange; but it is quite evident—whether on account of great distance from the seat of action, (during the democratic mail service) or the existence of a new species of hibernating "news borrower", we are unable to state—that the Pacific Pharos beats the record. We notice by the last issue of that paper that "the faculty of K. S. U. have decided to prohibit the students of that institution from delivering chapel orations on political or religious topics". No doubt this was new and interesting to the students of the Pacific University, but for the benefit of our contemporary on the Pacific slope we might say that our chapel rhetoricals have been abolished for two years, and the decision of the faculty referred to was made many years before.

The editorial staff of the College Rambler has been excused by the faculty from one half of their regular work in writing themes and essays. The Rambler requires an average of about 3,000 words per month from each editor which is about three times as much work as is required by the faculty in the shape of essay's. This is only justice to the students who rack their brains every week to find material to make up the columns of the college paper. The work lies in the same direction as is required and is just as much open to criticism. Why can't 'the powers that be' do something for this class of suffering humanity on the TIMES.
There is a good deal of discussion at present in regard to adopting the Monday holiday plan in our colleges. We can see little advantage to be gained by such a change. The main argument put forth by those who advocate the change is that it will prevent students from studying on Sunday; yet we do not believe that such would be the case, for those students who are accustomed to studying on Sunday will continue to do so and spend their Monday holiday as they have been accustomed to spend their Saturday. In all cases it lies with the student to say how he will employ the time.
The College Rambler published semi-monthly by the students of Illinois College is one of the many new arrivals this week. The Rambler is a model College Journal, the subject matter is arranged in a manner that merits praise; and on the whole we believe the Rambler to be among the best exchanges that comes to our table; we give you a hearty welcome and hope you will continue to visit us.
This seems to be a year of economy. K. S. U. is not the only institution that has suffered at the hands of the governing Solons. The legislature of Nebraska is apparently affected with the same sordid notion of parsimony. The amount asked for by the requests of the Nebraska State University for two years was $223,599 which was cut down to $194,749. There is a wide difference between economy and this parsimonious spirit.
The University of the Pacific delivered a challenge to the University of California for a strictly oratorical contest. The latter institution refused to accept the challenge.
We are glad to note that the old examination system is rapidly being superceded by the far more just and sensible plan of written recitations given at intervals through the term, at the option of the professor. Among the first to adopt this plan was Amherst, which was followed soon after by the University of the Pacific and other leading institutions. Not only does the old system impose a burden of unnecessary work on the student, but it is absolutely unjust. To attempt to test a student's knowledge of a subject by a few catch questions twice each year shows more presumption than we can attribute to the average college professor. This new system does away with the custom of craming, which examinations, held at long intervals, are sure to foster. Under the old system, a student of average ability who under stands the art of crammig, can in a few weeks pass a satisfactory examination on almost any subject. On this account a student is encouraged to shirk the work of the class room and care for nothing but the final examinations. It is a vicious system and we are glad to see it go.
Within ten years over $60,000,000 have been given by private individuals for the cause of education. Most of this is known to have been given by Christian men and from Christian motives. These facts show what part churches are taking in the matter of higher education, and according to the last census but one-fifth of the wealth of this country was in the hands of christian people.

--ian Association for the Advancement of Science, by Mr. Hale. The Author attempts to prove that the Europeans are only in small part of Aryan blood, and that modern civilization and culture are due to the conquered Iberians and Finnish races. Mr. Hale's treatment of the subject is very unscientific, and many of his arguments contain manifest fallacies. In our present state of ignorance in regard to the primitive European races, such speculations as these are to be discouraged.
Mr. Lawton recounted the events of the week and dwelled at some length on the unexpected results of the city elections; after which Mr. Pomeroy philosophized on the probable causes of these constant changes in city politics, coming to the conclusion that they were to some extent at least, unaccountable. Justice Mathew's life was presented by Mr Marsters, a life full of struggles and disappointments, but crowned at last with success. It was listened to at tentively by our worthy Seniors, who are gazing with some misgivings upon the restless waves of social life into which they are about to plunge Struggles and disappointments certainly await them; will they meet with success too? With still more interest they listened to Mr. Finfrock's practical common sense talk on "When should a lawyer take him a wife?" Mr. Finfrock is an expert, and his advice to a young lawyer not to marry before he has a good practice and is 30 years old, will certainly bear excellent fruit. Mr. Stebbin read an elaborate paper on "Ballo Reform" which afterwards was discussed with much interest. Mr Ackley in an essay convinced us that the daily paper is the great civilize of our age, the promoter of domestic harmony, the vitalizer of our debilitated constitution, the restorer o our appetite. the gratifier of our curiosity, our lungs for the sensation al, our thirst for notoriety, and the faithful ally in all our great schemes
The first paper read at Science Club last Friday evening was by A. L. Sloan on the Forth Bridge, illustrated by blackboard diagrams. We give a few extracts for the benefit of our readers who have kept themselves informed in regard to what is in some respects the greatest engineering achievement of the century. The Frith of Forth at the point of crossing is about a mile and a half in width, and nature has placed a rocky island in the middle to build a pier on. Beginning on the Queenstown side the bridge is carried out 1780 ft. on nine piers of solid masonry faced with granite; the forntecyned pier from the shore is called the cantilever tower; as upon it will rest not only the ends of the girders but also the shoreward arm of the south cantilever; this tower has been made of great size, being at the water 103 ft. in length and 22 ft. in breadth. The crucial part of the scheme is that which carries the bridge over the deep water of the Forth, because the free navigation cannot be interfered with. From three sets of granite piers, arranged in groups of four columns each, a superstructure of steel will be erected, supporting bracket-like arms, two of which with a separate girder in the center, form an apparent arch with a span of 1710 ft., with a clear headway above high water of 150 feet. There are two such spans and two half spans of 680 ft. each thrown shoreward to cantilever towers on either shore," "about
45,000 tons of steel will be used on the bridge and 12,000 cubic yards of masonry". "The best way to get an idea of the bridge is to compare it to the Brooklyn bridge. The three main towers are 375 ft. high or 98 ft. higher than those of the East River bridge. The cost of the Brooklyn bridge was $11,000,000 and it was thirteen years in building, while the Forth briage will only cost $8,000,000 and be about seven years in building.
Mr. Fred Liddekke followed with a paper on Science among the Arabs. He showed the value of the achievements of the Arabian philosophers during the Middle Ages. We are just beginning to acknowledge the importance of Arabian science and arts; to them we owe the discovery of all the strange acids and most important elements, and the invention, or at least the application, of the compass and gunpowder. In astronomy and physics the Arabians made many valuable discoveries, and showed that the true method of scientific work was investigation and speculation.
The third paper was by A. L. Noyes, on Storage batteries and some recent improvements in them.

The Philological Club.
Prof. A. G. Canfield spoke of the rise and development of the legned of the Holy Grail. The first to develop the story were the French poets of the 12th century. Chrestien's poem gives the kernel of the story. It consists of two parts, the search for the grail, and the history of Joseph of Arimathea and the bringing of the Grail of England. The poem contains about 60,000 lines, about 10,000 of which are by Christien, the rest being added by later hands. The legends of the Holy Grail are connected with those of the court of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It is said by some that the poets themselves invented the stories, or took them from one who invented them. Others find their origin in common Celtic tradition. Mr. Nutt, the author of a book lately published of Studies on the legend of the Holy Grail, adopts and maintains the latter theory. From a comparison of the different forms of the story he determines that the quest part of the legend is older than the other. That part has the least close connection with Christian story and symbolism. It is probable, then, that the growth of the story was in the line of elaborating its symbolism. It is more probable that on native myth are engrafted Christian ideas, than that a story full of Christian symbolism and invented by a monk was robbed of that symbolism and took on the form of native tradition.

I should haveHarold, Browne, Mosheim, &c., &c., once, and was given a present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.

There has been placed in the library this week, the history of the famous Hartford Convention, written by the secretary, Theodore Dwight. The work was issued in 1830, and has long been out of print, but Prof. Canfield has had a purchasing agent in New York on the look-out for it for over a year, and at last has secured it. All students of American History, in or out of the University, will be glad to know that we possess one of the few volumes now known to exist, of this famous treatise.
As in the outside world, so in the student world, there are found individuals differing vastly in their general makeup.
While some, like the Portuguese, can apparently do nothing great, others, like the Romans, can do nothing small.
Some would attribute this difference in students wholly to brains and general capacity. This argument may apply, in a measure, to some individuals; to a few, perhaps, absolutely. With the great majority, however, of those who are not first class working students, lack of brains
is not the prime deficiency. It is rather an easy-going indisposition to apply oneself; a lack of enthusiasm for college work, and all too often the inability to feel the importance of mastering one's work in the most earnest and effectual manner.
Since an individual's college work is so often the criterion of his after work in life, should not every student be aroused to definite and determined action? With lessons well prepared, with a mind ever attentive and open to the impression of truth, a student should endeavor to catch the spirit of inspiration and enthusiasm from his professors and fellow students. He will thus not only be helped in acquiring knowledge, but materially aided in the formation of correct habits of thought most useful in after life.
About Themes.
Tuesday was one of those monentous dates in the Freshman's career — it was the day for handing in his theme. Ever since he handed in that thesis of March 9th—which he sat up till two o'clock the preceding night to finish—he has been thinking what he would write about next.
The day after he hands in his first production, he picks up the list of subjects, with a full determination to select one, and proceed immediately to business. He peruses carefully the whole list, but cannot decide just which one he will take. There are several he could easily write on, but he will defer the matter until to-morrow.
To-morrow, alas, is of indefinite length. It generally stretches to within about a week of the allotted date. Cramped for time, Freshy glances hurriedly over the list of subjects again, and finally decides to write on "The Life and Character of the Poet Keats;" or of "Longfellow." Poor Keats! Poor Longfellow! Hallowed be thy memories! "You've left a name at which the world
"You've left a name at which the world grows pule,
To point a moral or adorn a title.
This disposition, however, of putting off the writing of themes from day to day, is not characteristic of Freshy alone, but its evil influence is to be seen also amongst the knowing Sophis, the "knowinger" Juniors, and (with all due regard for those plug hats) our most grave and reverend Seniors.
The best thoughts come slowly but the thoughts most generally jotted down, and handed in, under the head of a theme, are the first thoughts of the writer. Hence, many a poor fellow is mortified at having to rewrite his theme; hence, too, he is apt to censure the apparent harshness of
There is really no cause for delay Indeed, as the writer heard some one remark. "Delay is dangerous." If a theme can be begun and finished in two or three days, how much better will it be if two or three weeks are spent in its preparation. "Rome," said the high school boy in his commencement oration, "Rome was not built in a day." Nor is a good theme "built" in a day. It takes time. If one would select a subject three or four weeks ahead, read up on it, outline it, and then carefully write out these points, there would be fewer threes and more ones.
the professor, when the fault lies at his own doors.
The rule governing the handing in of themes at certain dates, is a good one. It is good for the Professor, since it avoids much bother and inconvenience, and good for the student, since it teaches him to be punctual.
Now, all ye students who read this little article, wait till within three or four days of the prescribed time for delivering your themes—and then begin to think about writing them. Read up a little—just for luck, if nothing else—and chalk down your observations in the rough. Then, if you are fond of ones, you may perhaps get three of 'em in a row.

U. N. O.
In one respect at least we do envy the lot of the Washburn and Baker students, namely, that if a man ever becomes a Senior in either of those institutions he is allowed at least two or three weeks vacation at the end of his last year, in which to rest up and prepare himself for the busy whirl of commencement week. This is especially an advantage if the student is irregular in his work and as often happens, has about three terms work to do in one. No one knows until he has tried it or has listened to the moans of one of the victims already struggling to escape from the mire, what the trials of this would be Senior are. Already overcome with the exhaustive ordeal of a four years course, during which he fancies he has been the special mark for the Prof's pointed questions and those twenty page lessons in French or Latin, he seeks his couch in the vain hope of evolving a plan by which on the morrow he may lead a charge on the professor and, by applying that irrepressible logic which he hasn't learned, demonstrates to him that two equals four and therefore he might just as well be credited with four terms of prep drawing instead of two. Why not give this poor mortal a few weeks of grace in which to prepare for the final sentence. We believe our faculty made a mistake when it declared our Senior vacation off.
Last Friday evening Mrs. Prof. Carruth invited a number of friends to listen to a paper on "Russian School Literature" written by Mr. Enns. All who have read Mr. Enns articles on Russian life in the Reviews will realize how interesting and novel the article was. The paper was largely composed of translations from Russian school readers and very charmingly were the quaint stories told. Perhaps a few grown up Americans are able to recall with effort one or two of the selections in their own school readers; but the Russian boy, who has ever read one of the stories translated by Mr. Enns could not only never forget, but must be in a measure influenced by them throughout life. After the conclusion of the lecture, Mr. Enns passed around a few Russian books for inspection, some of which contained mysterious black pages, pages that had contained reading, judged by the government as unwholesome for the people. Refreshments were then served and after a pleasant hour of conversation the guests departed.

From the space devoted by our esteemed contemporary, the Washburn Reporter, in reply to our modest generalization of a few weeks since, we are led to infer that for once we made good our aim and touched a tender spot. We had not desired to probe deeper or pursue our investigation of the merits or deremits of this very creditable publication farther, but a few remarks on the question may not be out of order. We may be laboring under a misapprehension regarding the true nature of a college weekly—its object and office—if so we are always open to conviction. Understand. we do not wish to injure the reputation of the Reporter as a first class advertising medium—How could it be else when one half of the editorial page is reserved for Mrs. Winslow, Ayerses and kindergarten cuts by other as interesting authors.(?) Then again the title page is always decked with life sized portraits of Messrs Bernheimer and Levi and in reviewing both personal and locals, you are most agreeably (?) surprised to find yourself duped by having unintentionally devoured a local "add"—just a case of mistaken identity, thats all. All very good for the advertiser but is this any addition to the "truest college exponent of any weekly in the State of Kansas?" But let us see about that, The Reporter, if we are correctly informed is a strictly private concern. The members of the editorial board have exclusive control and elect their own successors. The Reporter cannot then be a publication for ond by the students of Washburn. How then support your claim of being the true and only college exponents in Kansas? We claim the Times to be a students paper—a paper, in the publication of which, all factions so desiring may have a share, and our claim of the most equitable representation, among all classes, of any weekly in the University or the state is beyond dispute. We open our columns to communications from each and every student and if there be any question political or social, of general interest to the students such as you denominate "personal squabbles," it is given to our readers who devour it with a relish. No, dear Reporter we still hold to our first assertion,—from the position which you give your advertisers and your scheme of editorial representation it would seem to be you intention to revolutionize college journalism.
Prof. W. S. Franklin has just received a handsome offer from Perdue college of Technology at Lafayette, Indiana. That institution is in search of a first class physicist to whom that entire department may be intrusted. These qualities they have recognized in Mr. Franklin and have tendered him that position at a liberal salary. However we learn that Mr. Franklin has declined this offer, and will remain with us for another year, after which he will pursue his studies in Germany. This offer is a high compliment, not only to Prof. Franklin, but to his alma mater.
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll has the reputation of giving more money yearly to waiters, porters and bell boys than any other man in the United States.
An April Shower.
The day grows warm ; and fleeting clouds
Scurry about the heavens
In restless hoste :
While out along you western line Heavy and precipitous, rise The thick vapors,
Rising, they spread ; and rolling on amain
Fill the wide arch of heaven
With varvine form :
Which grooming with the deep surcharge of rain,
Scouts close with lowering glance
The thirsty earth.
And now with sudden flash, the lightning Wings its devious flight Across the sky.
While the deep thunder, peal on peal close following, shakes The misty veil.
Big beaded drops come plashing down—
The first discharge of heaven's
Artillery ;
Anon they thicken, and following soon,
The soft continuous sound
Of steady shower.
The glad earth drinks the welcome rain,
And streams, ere long, course down
the road
In miniature ;
And fresh the scent, and redolent
The atmosphere from blossoming
Peach and plum.
With lessening force the shower slow
abates,
And 'round the dim horizon dawns
Th' uncertain light;—
The sun bursts through the western mist
And pillared cloud, glows like a sea
Ot liquid gold.
The smiling landscape heeds the darting
ray;
And silv're drops hang pendant from
Each blade and leaf ;
The blithesome robin chirps his merry
nose,
The bluebird chirps his lay; and thus
An April shower.

The barbarian host at the K. S. U. is to-day without a leader. Their great chief has left them and joined himself unto the Greeks. George M. Culver is a Beta Theta Pi. Less than a month ago we asked Mr. Culver to prepare an article for us on "The evil effect of the fraternity system," which he very readily promised to do. We doubt not that in the preparation of this article he became lost. It is sad to see how nearly all the apparently bright, promising young men of K. S. U. drift into one or another of these maelstroms of college life.—Washburn Reporter.
It was a good appointment Governor Humphrey made when he put Charles W. Smith of Stockton on the bench in the thirty-fourth district. The State papers are saying many good things about Judge Smith, who, by the way, is one of the "State University boys." —State Journal.
Judge Smith was a member of the late Board of Regents,and it is needless to say,is one of the University's most loyal supporters.

Exchange Notes.
We acknowledge the receipt of The Printer Girl this week. It is a monthly magazine devoted to the interests of lady compositors. Although published in our own State, it is not sectional, but covers a broad field and contains much valuable information that will be found of interest to every household.
Prominent among our new exchanges this week is the Occident, published weekly by the University of California. It is one of the best college journals published. Although a weekly publication, its literary department far surpasses that of many of our exchanges which claim to be purely of a literary character. We give you a hearty welcome, and are glad to be able to number the Occident among our exchanges.
The April number of the Western Home Journal contains a very interesting article by Arthur G. Canfield, entitled "Higher Education by the State." It presents in a very concise form the Professor's views on this much discussed question.
The board of editors of the Miami Student have offered a prize for the best original story, not to exceed 1,200 words. The merits of the manuscript to be judged by two of the faculty. If such an incentive was offered to the students of K. S. U. it might awaken some dormant genius and be the means of bringing before the world a George Elliot or a Dickens.
The Doane Owl for March is the personification of wisdom.
The March number of the Westminster Review contains several very interesting articles.
The exchange editor, or rather the editorial board, of that anomalous specimen of college journalism known as the College Echoes, seems to be deeply interested in the welfare of what he calls "his friendly pun," and assures us that if we sit down nobody will hurt us. We wish to thank the gentleman for his generous advice, and to assure him that had we known the delicate texture of the "thing" we certainly would have handled it with more care.

The great English University Boat Race was won by Cambridge last Saturday by two lengths. The course was from Putney to Northlake, a distance of four miles and two furlongs. The Oxford crew became confused and steered badly. They made a final spurt, but failed to reach the Cambridge boat. This is the fourth successive victory for Cambridge. The score now is—Oxford, twenty-three races; Cambridge twenty-two. The one rowed in '77 was a dead heat.

The spring has come, but it brings no joy to the sad-eyed Senior. "A fuller crimson has come to the robin's breast," but the Seniors sees it not. "A livelier iris changes on the burnished dove," but the Senior's fancies turn not to thoughts of love. Cares infest his days and his nights are full of sadness. All the "flunks" of former days are vividly brought to his mind—by the faculty. Analytics, physics and a half dozen more Banquo-like ghosts rise up before him and must be downed again. Another vision haunts him; commencement day, a sea of upturned faces, an oration, stage fright, utter vacuity and external disgrace. All in all the chrysalis stage of the college graduate is a trying one. Washburn Reporter.
Which should be considered the most injudicious, the state of Kansas that pays the chancellor of her University only $3000 for a hard year's work, or the city that pays Ward $5000 for scoring one or two home runs during a season?
Books to Read.
A few years ago Sir John Lubbock, in a paper read before a London college, gave a list of the best one hundred books, which evoked much discussion. Acting on an idea received from the Lubbock paper, the Kansas City Times recently sent out requests to a number of the prominent literati of that city, to make out a list of what they thought the one hundred best books. In these lists there is hardly a dozen books which appear in all of them, showing how different people's tastes are as to what are the best books. One of the compilers of a list, in speaking of this difference of opinion, says: "A scientific man like Huxley would never agree with a literature like Lowell. nor would the average intelligent reader agree with the average critic. There might be a small neucleus of books, such as the Bible, Shakespeare, Don Quixote, Gulliver's Travels, etc., which would meet the approval of all; but the remainder of the names selected would be as various as the habits, training, tastes and interests of the compilers."
It will be readily seen from the list that each one has selected books which have meant the most to themselves, and we publish a list of the one hundred which appear in more than one list. The lists were prepared to cover a general course of reading for the average person, and not to be a course on any of the special isms or ologies. To be acquainted with all the books in the list would be a liberal education. We all of us take up something to read, at times, which is of no particular value and sometimes of positive detriment, whereas if we had a better knowledge of what to read, we could take up something just as interesting and a great deal more beneficial. In selecting, the list will be of considerable value, because it represents the books, among countless numbers read, which have proven of standing value to representative business men.

A large audience assembled Monday night in the parlor of Unity Club, to listen to Prof. A. G. Canfield's lecture on Boulanger. The professor prefaced his discourse with a sketch of the condition of French politics and demonstrated the divisions of the republican majority in the chamber of Deputies from the Conservatives of the Centre and Left Centre to the wild Radicals and Communists of the extreme Left. He ran very rapidly over the political history of France from the Revolution, and remarked that since then no form of government had lasted over twenty years in succession. The present Republic has nearly reached that limit and it remains to be seen whether the habit of representative government will prove stronger than the proverbial French fickleness. If a return to the principle of one man power is imminent, that power could hardly be intrusted to one more unworthy than General Boulanger. It is hard to explain the popularity of this notorious politician; Frenchmen themselves give up the attempt. Boulanger would seem to be an unserrupulous adventurer, who is a showy
horseman, a fair soldier and who above all understands how to advertise himself. He and his friends with an audacity almost magnificent, have turned his misfortunes and his missdeeds to account, represent richly merited rebukes and disgraces to be details of a deliberate system of persecution entered upon by the government against the pure patriot Boulanger —successive stages in the "martyrdom of St. Boulanger." Though ineligible by reason of his commission he has stood for election to the chamber of Deputies in many districts; and now that the ineligibility has been removed by his retirement from active service (intended as a punishment,) his large majority in many districts give grave cause to fear lest all the districts indorse him in turn, and he thus become France's Dictator. The professor read translations of extracts from various French papers which declared the most deplorable, uneasy, restless spirit, the craving for the new, the unreflecting delight in mere noise and glitter that threaten to render possible such a triumph for Boulanger. Another extract contained a scathing indictment of the modern French writers, who pander to the vile tastes themselves, are largely responsible for, and still further debase the public brain and heart.
Next Monday evening Prof. Snow will deliver his lecture on Evolution.

The Senior Law students met as a body Monday, April 15, and various matters were considered, deliberated, discussed and disposed of, by the honorable body; Mr. Harrington presided. The question of music for the commencement day of the Law class of '89 came up first. Although our students are men of no mean habits, being able to debate, deliver orations and write essays, they feel singularly weak when it becomes necessary to furnish music. Conscious of their musical infirmity they appointed a committee of three, whom they instructed to see the faculty and persuade them to furnish all the music. Nor do our Seniors have great confidence in their own aesthetic qualities, such as would be absolutely necessary for the choice of a suitable class hat, and in their modesty they passed a motion, authorizing the Hon. McClinton to select and buy the class hats of the class of '89, and to pay for them too. The gentleman felt very much flattered. "I move you that we have our picutres taken," was adopted by an unanimous vote. A committee appointed for that purpose will see the different photographers of the city and make arrangements for the great event of the season. In conclusion, Mr. Harrington suggested and informed that the world was distressing anxiously to read a Law Bulletin, i.e., a little pamphlet containing the biographies of the illustrious students of the celebrated law class of '89. Enns, interested in the Annual, vehemently protested, but he was overwhelmed and appointed one of the committee to see if there is a publisher in the United States worthy of publishing such a document. Harrington is chairman of the committee.

Dear Sir—In April 1888, I notice 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 one of the one any so utterly unprepared as I was but the one that strengthened my natural memory that I was able to remember and give the gist of any book after reading, before read Lightfoot, Proctor; Harold, Browne, Mowle; successful in every one of the nine papers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.

When the Green Gits Back.
When the Green Gits Back.
In spring when the green gits back in the trees,
And the sun comes out and stays.
And yer boot pulls on with a good tight squeeze,
And you think of your barefoot days;
When you ort to work and you want to not.
And you and yer wife agrees
It's time to spade up the garden lot—
When the green gits back in the trees—
Well! work is the least of my ideas
When the green, you know, gits back in the trees
When the green gits back in the trees, and bees
Is a-buzzin about sgm,
n that lazy, "go-as-you-please"
Is a-buzzin' aroun' again,
Old gait they bum roun in;
When the groun's all bald where the hay
rick stood
And the crick's riz, and the breeze
Coaxes the bloom in the old dogwood,
And the green gits back in the trees,
I like, as I say, in sich scenes as these
The time when the green gits back in
the tress!
When the white tail-fathers of winter time
is all pulled out and gone!
Is all pulled out and gone!
And the sap it thaws and begins to climb,
And the sweat it starts out on
A feller's forerrd, a gittin' down
At the old spring on his knees—
I kind o' like jest a-loaterin' roun'
When the green gits back in the trees—
Jes' a-potterin' round as I—durn—
please,
When the green, you know, gits back
in the trees

With considerable fear and trembling we approach the much mooted "Gymnasium question," with a lawn mower. While the idea of gaining sufficient exercise from the daily ascent of the bill, and also the proposition of students building a gymnasium themselves, or of keeping a private one, are both received with no enthusiasm by the student body of the University, yet we can assure those who are wasting away, body and mind, for want of exercise, that the patriotic citizens of Lawrence and the beneficent members of the faculty will gladly furnish them with abundant opportunities for mowing lawns this spring, during any spare moments the student may have.
We very much deplore the lack of backbone which the Juniors exhibited last Friday in shirking the responsibility for a deed which, if properly executed, would have been a legitimate contest between the Juniors and Seniors. But no; one or two of the cowardly ones must press into service some Preps who, ignorant of the first principles of gentlemen, could not behave themselves fittingly in the presence of ladies, but must fight and squabble as if they were being ground to earth under the iron heel of bloated bondholders and soulless corporations. Then the next day these same cowardly Juniors must propose to all of the Juniors, even those who were absent from the insurrection, that they wear boquets, which were sneaked away by Preps, in commemoration of a victory of the Juniors over the Seniors.
THE host of University friends of Prof. P. D. Aldrich will be pleased to learn that he has just accepted an $1800 position in Utica, N. Y. While in connection with the University of Kansas, Prof. Aldrich was known as a faithful and conscientious worker, and a gentleman of the highest musical ability; and since removing to the East he has rapidly risen in his profession.
The Typewriter
No other mechanical invention of this age has come more rapidly into general use and popularity than the typewriter. The pen written business letter has become the exception. The wise author has his matter carefully copied on a machine before he sends it to the publisher. The foolish author still clings to that scragggy style, of penmanship, closely resembling the tracts of a perambulatory hen which is supposed to go hand in hand with genius; but he chiefly reaps rejections and bitterness. A young and unknown author who writes any but the best of hands, improves his chances of acceptance fifty percent by submitting his burning words neatly written on a typewriter.
But the uses of the typewriter have their limit. It was only a few months ago that a Boston young man was promptly rejected when he proposed to a young lady with a typewriter letter. It served him right. The telephone is the very limit in these things. It was a Kansas City young man who rang up the object of his affections with the telephone while a hated rival, a youth from Topeka was trying to entertain her in the parlor, proposed, was accepted and ten minutes later sent a messenger boy around with the ring.
To become expert with the typewriter in original composition requiring much thought is somewhat difficult. After all, we doubt if good poetry can be written on the machine. Shakespeare could not have written "A Midsummer Night's Dream" on a modern typewriter; the tinkling of the bell at the end of each line would have annoyed him. Nevertheless he needed a typewriter about as badly as any one. Judging from his autograph it would seem that he must have figured pretty well toward the foot of the writing class at the Stratford-upon-Avon school. We suspect that it was a good thing for Shakes peare that he never tried to get his living by running a college of penmanship. Talents differ widely; Shakespeare wrote "Hamlet," yet his signature might frighten a timid person coming upon it suddenly. There are professors of writing in our "Business Colleges" who can make beautiful pen and ink birds and scrolls and capital "W's" and "H's" with feathers on their legs, still they cannot rhyme a couplet.
But above all the greatest drawback of the typewriter is, that it is sometimes too plain. Those of us who have not yet fully mastered all of the orthographic eccentricities of the English language, have a trick when writing a doubtful word of writing it poorly—of making the "a" which we have a lurking suspicion ought, perhaps, to be an "e" so that it will pass as either very well; and sometimes we slip a quiet, unobstructive dot over it so that if need be, worse coming to worst—it may slip in as an "i." This eases our conscience; there it is—if our correspondent calls it wrong it is his own fault. But alas, nothing of this kind is possible with the typewriter.
The German Department will give no examinations to those students, whose class grade is over 90 per cent. The plan should extend to all the University.
That the Phi Gam semi plugs are several degrees better than no hats at all.
That the girls look sweet in their spring dresses.
That some of the students have their eyes on Oklahoma.
They Do Say:
That certain students attended easter service at the Catholic church and came near being "fired" for talking between acts.
That it was very touching to see Harvey caress McFarland with a broom handle at the riot during the Senior party.
That several fraternity picnics are brewing, accompanied by the regulation amount of mosquitos, ice cream, colic and red ants.
That matters are comparatively quiet in the Trig. class since Wixson gat him hence.
That the new order of things regarding qualifications for admission to the departments of law, music, and pharmacy will create a rumpus in due time.
That some of the bloods are calculating how much money they will have to borrow to complete the term without serious ruptures with their respective landladies.
That the time is nigh at hand when wild and untamable strawberry shortcake will get in its deadly work on the unsuspecting prep, and send him to the Happy Hunting Grounds to the touching strains of "We shall meet on that beautiful shore."
That those students who never crack a smile and never say a pleasant word, and who pride themselves on their resemblance to a refrigerator, in the hope that they will be called dignified, will find that they are small potatoes and few in a hill when they come to battle with a world where sham dignity is soon found out.
That certain young ladies who are very nervous lest the young men should influence other young ladies in favor of rival fraternities, would do well to practice what they preach and remember that rip saws cut both ways.
In the last number of the Courier appeared an article taking for its text, "Be sure you are right, then go ahead," which would have been first rate if one could have avoided seeing behind it all the character and deeds of its author. The old fable tells us about "jewels dropping from the mouth of a toad." Burns was addicted to barleycorn, dissipation, and gems of poetry; Lord Byron, though dissolute, was the author of immortal stanzas.
The Phi Gamms have appeared in half plugs. While objection might be made to the style of the hat, certainly nothing but commendation can meet the action of the young men by seeking to distinguish themselves by a mark of fraternity spirit. If every class, or fraternity in the University should adopt some special hat, coat, or other mark of distinction, it would be a good thing.
The Review came out as an illustrated paper. It was a question, immediately after the publication of the March number, whether the staff would live to publish one at all.
GEORGE KENNAN, best known for his articles in the Century, lectured in Kansas City, last Monday night. on Russia.

SUBSCRIPTION book agencies are now engaged in addressing personal circulars to students, who "have been especially recommended to them" to get canvassers for "Dr. Chase's Family Receipt Book." And vacation draws on apace.
"I have lived with lawyers all my life. Being used to their ways and familiar with their tastes and inclinations, I know how to manage them and how to entertain them." That is what Mrs. J. W. Green claims, and 18 Senior Law students are ready to testify under oath and in the heat of cross-examination that Mrs. Green is, indeed, a first class manager and a royal entertainer of lawyers, no matter how embryonic they are. It was Tuesday night, April 23, A. D., 1889. Whist, euchre, fine lunch, conversation, pictures, lap-dogs, mind-reading by the prodigious Prof. J. W. Green and his illustrious assistant, Miss Wheeler, conspired to make the evening pleasant in the highest degree. The hour of the spirits struck before any of the young lawyers were prepared for it.
J. O. WORDEN was fired from his job as guide, because he went around with a book in his hand and gave the visitors the impression that he was an underpaid martyr who had just got settled down to study as they called, and who would like it if they would take the keys and look over the buildings for themselves. The Courier's insinuations that he was released as an offensive partisan, is an insult to the faculty; and the Courier, which was afraid to come out and make its charges, knows that it tried to create a false impression.

The winning oration at the Nebraska State contest, shows careful study and is in the whole well written.
The last number of the College Rambler contains an extremely interesting article on "Shakespeare and his Critics."

The first place in the Nebraska State contest was won by A. V. House of Doane College. Subject, "Home Rule for Ireland". The second place was awarded to H. C. Peterson of the State University.
debate: Resolved, That our present system of municipal government is a failure. C. E. Street opened for Orophilian and made a good speech. He quoted considerably from Bryce's American Commonwealth. Mr. Mitchell followed for Kent Club, and made what was probably the best speech of the evening. Mr. Copper closed for Orophilian, but was unfortunate in having only five minutes in which to demolish the enemy. He made the most of his time, however. Orophilian will meet to-night for a short business meeting, adjourning to hear the lecture by the Hon. C. F. Scott.
The Hesperian seems to be satisfied with the amount appropriated by the legislature for the Nebraska State University.
Orophilian.
Orophilian and Kent Club presented a very interesting joint-program to a large audience, last Friday evening. The good music, which had been prepared for the occasion, was a pleasant feature. It consisted of a piano duet by Misses Johnston and Weller and a selection by Miss Franklin. A quartette composed of Messrs, Sears, Curry, Sawtell and Nowlin also added much to the enjoyment of the evening. The paper by C. M. Enns, on "A Russian School Boy's Literature," has been reviewed before in these columns. The paper was listened to with close attention by all present; the speaker's manner lending much charm. The excellence of the translations and the fine language used were noticed with interest.
The feature of the evening was the
Philological Club
At the meeting last Friday night the Secretary announced that he had completed a list of periodicals put in the library this year by the Philological Club and its members. They number 36—7 weeklies, 15 monthlies, and 14 quarterlies—and cost $145.
Mr. Dunlap spoke of a recent Leipzig dissertation on Alliteration in Chaucer by an American, Mr. McClumpa. There has been considerable discussion among English scholars concerning Chaucer's use of alliteration, but not until the appearance of this dissertation had the subject received adequate treatment. Here it is discussed with great thoroughness and care. The author has proceeded on a historical basis. In order to ascertain Chaucer's use of formal alliteration, he has read a large number of books written before Chaucer's time, and has carefully cited the formal alliterations which occur in them. He concludes that the single object that was sought by the use of alliteration at the hands of Chaucer was to produce poetical effect, to color and vivify the scenes, rather than to obey any law of versification such as had controlled the English poets for centuries before Chaucer.
Prof. Wilcox spoke of and illustrated a new arrangement of the sculptures in the west pediment of the temple of Zeus at Olympia, proposed by Herr Treu of Dresden. New fragments lately discovered bring the head of the Centaur in the biting Centaur group above that of the strangling Lapith, and this makes it necessary to transfer the group from the left to the right side of the pediment. The corresponding group then must be moved from the right to the left side, where the boy is much freer to strike his blow. New fragments also of the axe-swinging Lapthai make it possible to put them next to the central figure, where they can swing their arms with much more freedom and force. This necessitates an exchange of sides by the whole of the two great central groups of three. When this exchange is made, it is seen that the woman on the right is farther off from the center than the one on the left, and hence she is shorter. These changes make a much more regular and continuous descent of the heads of figures from the center to both ends of the pediment than under the old arrangement. The new arrangement agrees with the Pausanias as well as the old, for neither agrees entirely. Pausanias was wrong in taking the middle figure for Peirithous. It is Apollo
Mr. Treu thinks there was only one axe-wielder. The figure to the left probably had a sword instead. And new observations show that not only is there a difference in the material of the figures, but that this difference is greater than was supposed, and that the Pentelic marble figures show a much later style in the execution of special features, while in general they are like the others. The most reasonable explanation of these characteristics is that in late Roman times figures that had been badly injured were replaced by copies. This idea is confirmed by the finding of sufficient Roman tiles to assure us that there was an extensive, if not complete, restoration of the roof under the Romans. The pediment always contained the same number of figures. The exact correspondence of the number of figures with that in the East gable is hardly an accident.
Science Club.
There was a full attendance at the Science Club, last Friday exening, a great many being attracted especially by Mr. Franklin's paper on "Hypnotism and its relation to Christian Science." This paper, which was in part the same that was read before the Unity Club, is probably familiar in its principal points to our readers, that part which showed that the methods adopted by the so-called Christian Scientists, and mental healers, were substantially the same as those used in the treatment of disease by hypnotism or suggestion. Mr. Franklin deserves great credit for his earnest attempts to place the study of hypnotism and allied phenomena on a scientific basis, and to remove the superstitious fear with which such subjects are commonly regarded. The utter futility of the precautions which are ordinarily taken in the investigation of psychological phenomena, and the weight of popular testimony in a field where the keenest scientists are often misled, cannot be too strongly emphasized.
Richard Short gave a blackboard demonstration of a new method of dividing any angle into any number of equal parts by means of a spiral of peculiar construction. Mr. Short, however, did not consider that the method was of much practical value on account of the difficulty of making accurate measurements.
Harry Buckingham gave another of his interesting papers on manufactures, "Plate Glass Making in Alleghany City." He described the process in detail and illustrated with diagrams and specimens of the sand used, and the samples of the glass in the three stages of preparation. The molten glass is run out upon level tables and rolled with a large cylinder which runs on low rails along the edge of the table. The glass, which is then almost solidified, is run into the annealing oven and gradually cooled. The plate is then put upon a polishing table and ground down by sand and water until it is perfectly smooth. Often half the thickness is ground in this process. In the discussion which followed the paper Mr. Woodard, who is an honorary member of the club, gave an additional information in regard to different qualities of plate glass.

DEAR Sir—In April, 1983, I 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 position in the case of any one so utterly unprepared as myself, and I 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, Procter, Garrison and Gorff in order to successful in every one of the nine papers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.
