The Phi Delts issued two of the college publications last week, the Review and the Times, and as usual, whenever occasion offers, displayed their mud slinging capacity by heaping personal abuse upon their rivals. That a fraternity should be compelled to stoop to such despicable methods is a sad commentary on its own weakness. It is a cause of surprise and regret to the many well-wishers of the Review, that the editor-in-chief of a magazine supposed to be devoted to literary work, should allow his columns to be filled with vituperation and abuse. Indeed a lady who remarked but recently that she had always thought Mr. Kellogg a perfect gentleman until his last two issues of the Review had demonstrated him to be anything else, but echoes a very prevailing sentiment
in unprejudiced minds. This is not written with any personal feeling against Mr. Kellogg, but as a protest against a majority of the stockholders of the Review, simply because they have that majority, using the power thus given them in abusing and villifying the minority who hold almost one-half the shares. We had almost said that no honorable man would thus abuse the investment of others placed in his hands, by turning the influence of a corporation against its members. But we trust that this has been done, not through any intentional malice, but through lack of foresight and discretion.
The Capital-Commonwealth reports an interview with Senator Ingalls concerning the Chancellorship. We are glad to quote the remarks as they are, in the main, in accord with the views of the Courier. The Senator, however, shows by the latter part of the interview that he has for gotten the Moody bill which provides an annual tax levy, thus taking away the necessity of annual appeals to the Legislature. Senator Ingalls says: 'Every friend of the University I think must regret the retirement of, Chancellor Lippincott, whose work has been of permanent value and whose methods were productive of the highest results. It will be difficult to obtain a successor in that great office who will meet all the requirements of our educational system. The occasion, however, is one that will enable the regents to seriously consider the question whether the tendency to ecclesiasticism should not now be definitely abandoned The New England colleges were originally established for the purpose of educating ministers of the Christian church. It followed from this inevitably that clergymen and theologists were selected as presidents and teachers. Following this example although the original purpose has been modified and the college as it now exists is intended to educate its pupils for all professions and occupations, it has been in the majority of instances considered necessary to select a clergyman as the nominal head of the university or the college The tendency, therefore, has been inevitably toward sectarianism which ought to be ignored and disregarded. While the consideration of the claims of clergymen, therefore, should not be neglected, and a man otherwise competent should not be rejected because he has been educated for the pulpit, my impression is that it would be wise to place at the head of the State University a man trained and skilled in practical
affairs—a publicist, perhaps an eminent lawyer—some one accustomed to dealing with public questions and the transactions of business and political activity. The chief obstacle would be the inadequate compensation. A man competent and skilled in these directions would undoubtedly earn a much larger salary than the state could afford to pay. It is perhaps unfortunate that the control of the University is so largely political, but so long as it is sustained by direct appropriations from the State this probably is inevitable. It would be greatly to its advantage if it could be placed upon a permanent financial foundation which would exempt it from the necessity of annual appeals to the legislature for support."
The Optional Courses.
Some little complaint has been made during the past week about the interference of one department with the work of another, and some uncalled for and therefore unpleasant remarks have been made about "unwarranted action," "under pressure on students," "the struggle for students," and more and possibly worse. We believe this to be almost wholly unfounded. Our faculty does not engage in a "struggle for students" nor do we believe it is customary for the head of one department to criticise or comment (unfavorably, at least) upon the work or methods of an associate. Indeed students have generally found it difficult to secure advice from an instructor in a matter in which his department is interested as contrasted or compared with some other. This has always been peculiarly true of those departments in which the larger optional classes are found. Time and again advice has been refused by such instructors on the ground that it could not be given without seeming to favor their own work; and they prefer that students should decide freely.
This is exactly as it should be. Unconsciously every man is more or less biased in favor of his own special field of effort. The Chancellor, as at the head of the University, overlooking all departments and connected with none, may very properly advise; and his advice should be sought. But members of the faculty must necessarily refrain from what must inevitably be considered an interference with t.e work of others. As we have said, this is the course generally—almost invariably—followed. The students know this, and respond to this mark of confidence in their thoughtfulness and good judgment. Semi-occasionally in the past history of the University,by a singular lapse of propriety, some member of the faculty
has seen fit to "compete" for students in other ways—insisting to the students themselves that "there is no sense in a girl's studying politics," or "there is a questionable propriety in a young woman's taking up anatomy, especially in mixed classes," or expressing some similar medieval thought—but the result has invariably been a loss to such instructor and a gain to the ones he has considered as "rivals."
There is a wholesomeness, a manliness and womanliness, about this free choice of work which is the great attraction in life in this University and its greatest stimulus as well—and students are less and less willing to submit to dictation either outspoken or insinuated. Fortunately there is very little of this apparent, and not with the men who know their students and trust them and are known and trusted in turn.
Which are Gentlemen.
In a recent issue of the New York Press, Joe Howard, the brilliant newspaper writer has a cutting article with the above caption from which we clip the following. He says: "The boatman of yesterday produces the dudes of to-day. The corner groceryman of twenty years ago effloresces into the Fitznoodle of this year. The practical butcher of the past is transformed into the manikin of the present. The honest, painstaking, industrious, self-denyer, who for forty years put head and heart and hand at severest toil in order that the pocket might be filled, produces in the second generation an empty headed, idle handed, shriveled hearted spend thrift, of no use to himself or any of his fellow creatures. But which of the two is the gentleman?"
We wish to make an application to the society circles in the University. Where all are striving for the same avowed purpose, and where all are achieving that purpose at the expense of the State, the fashion of calling certain students or circles of students the "best society" is senseless and absurd. But out in the great world there are to be found no stronger barriers; no more closely drawn lines than right here in our University. To an outsider this often seems laughable and absurd, but the truth is, there is actual danger threatening the best interests of the institution from this cause. Certain of the so-called "best-society" within the walls of K. S. U. are the production of the "honest, pain taking, industrious, self-denyer" and are as Howard describes, the "empty headed," snobs who endeavor to bar from the social life of the Uuiversity all
who do pot, or cannot ape them in fashionable dress, or foolish expenditure of "the honest, industrious, self denyer's" hard earned money. The University of Kansas once boasted of her poor boys and girls who paid their own way through college, by hard labor and self denying effort. To-day, where are the self-supporting students? They have been made to feel that they were inferior, have been looked down upon with disdain by this self-styled "best society." To be sure our state is older, our people are wealthier but with our rapid increase in population we still have, and will always have a very large class who must ever struggle with fortune in order to attain the highest benefits to be derived from a thorough education. Shoddyism, toadyism and snobbishness are on the increase in this great state of ours, but let the students of K. S. U. make every effort to crush out every semblance of the senseless folly which may now be within our walls.

Philological Club.
At the meeting last Friday night the Secretary announced that the club were putting in the library this year, 36 periodicals, 7 weeklies, 15 monthlies and fourteen quarterlies, at a cost of $145.
Mr. Dunlap spoke of a recent Leipzig dissertation on Alliteration in Chaucer by an American, Mr. McClupha. There has been considerable discussion among English scholars concerning Chaucer's use of alliteration, but the subject had not received adequate treatment before. 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. The conclusion is that the single object that was sought in the use of alliteration at the hands of Chaucer was to produce political effect, to color and vivify the scene, 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 Mr. Treu of Dresden. New fragments lately discovered of the biting Centaur group make it certain that the head of the Centaur was higher than that of the Lapith, and necessitate the transfer of the group from the left to the right side of the pediment. This necessitates then the transfer of the corresponding group from the right to the left, where it fits better. And new fragments of the axe-swinging figures make it possible to put them next to the central figure. And here they too have more freedom for swinging their axes. Then the great group of three to which they belong must exchange sides. In their new positions, it is clearly seen that the reason why the woman on the right is smaller than the other is because she is farther from the centre. The new rr arrangement makes the heads slope down regularly and continuously from the center to the ends. It does not agree exactly with the description of Pausanias, but Pausanias is wrong. The center figure is Apollo, not Peirithoos. Mr. Treu suggest that perhaps only the figure on the right was swinging an axe, the other probably the sword. The latest observations show that not only is there a difference of material in the figures, but that that difference is greater than was formerly supposed, and that
the Pentelic marble figures are executed in a later style in minor points, though on the whole like the other figures. The best explanation of this is that figures injured very much were in late Roman times replaced by copies. This idea is confirmed by the finding of a large number of Roman tiles, showing that the roof was largely, if not completely restored in Roman times. The gable always had the same number of figures, as it is hardly an accident that it has the same number as the East gable.

Mr. Spangler Interviewed.
Mr. Spangler Interviewed.
Mr. W. C. Spangler of the Board of Regents, who has just returned from an extended trip in the east, was seen by a representative of the Journal yesterday and in answer to many inquiries said:
"While away I visited a number of Ea-tern colleges and universities among them Johns Hopkins,Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Williams, Cornell and the University of Michigan—to gain such information as I could in regard to several matters at present under consideration by the Board of Regents. Mr. Billings of the Board was with me and we shall make a detailed report of the results of our observations, etc , to the Board at its next meeting, May 1st. We have nothing startling to relate but believe it our duty to report such matters to the board before giving it to the public."
We met the presidents of all the institutions I have named and all said that the University of Kansas was highly esteemed in the East and that it ranked second only to the Michigan University among the State Universities and colleges of the country. They expressed much surprise at the high standing for admission to our Freshman class because it indicated that a higher grade of work was being done in the high schools of Kansas than they supposed possible in a new state. We met many friends of Prof. Dunlap at Johns Hopkins among the professors under whom he studied.
We did not bring a chancellor back with us, nor have we selected one—in fact we did not go away with any such intention—we both came back thoroughly convinced, I think, of one fact—that the people of Kansas have not thoroughly appreciated the men already connected with the University or the work done by them, and this applies to our chancellor as well as professors. By the way, I saw Wm. M. Thacher in New York. He has gained a good standing among New York lawyers whom he has met and has a paying practice. We found Prof. Carruth buried in a pile of books of Old Norse and Germanic philosophy in the Harvard library. He has been devoting himself to his speciality and will come back to the University next September as fully equipped for his work as any professor in this country. He is wisely known and highly esteemed in and about Harvard and undoubtedly richly deserves it all.
Miss Kate Stephens is pleasantly located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is devoting herself to literary work. She takes a keen interest in the University and its management, and expressed an earnest desire to see women more fully recognized by university authorities in the selection of members of the faculty.
I saw Prof. Spring at Williamstown, Mass. He is in good health, thoroughly enjoys his work and is fully appreciated and greatly beloved by the students and good people of Williamstown. When in Boston I learned that his book "Kansas" was in its fourth edition, there having been quite a demand for this book of late. By the way, the professor says that he is contemplating something more for us on early history, soon.Journal, April 30.
A large crowd witnessed the K. S. U. nine defeat the town club in the first game of the season, by a score of 19 to 14. While there were numerous brilliant plays which made the game interesting, as a whole it was very "rocky." The boys must brace up and play better ball, or Washburn will surely do them up. The nine appeared for the first time in their new uniform—a neat gray flannel suit with black stockings and belts.
The gentlemen of Phi Kappa Psi very pleasantly entertained their lady friends Friday night, in their rooms, in the opera house block. Those present were Misses Webber, Penfield, Love, Lou Barker, Price, Hadley, Maxwell, Anna Barker, Lyons, Buckingham, Henshaw, VanHoesen; Messrs. Edson, Wright, Armstrong, Mushrush, Brewster, Peabody, Deverell, Hadley, McPberson, Shellabarger, Robinson, and Callaham.
The exercises at the Unity Club Monday were appropriate to the Washington Inaugural Centennial. Addresses were made by Prof. Canfield, Judge Thacher, and Prof. Marsh. Some very fine vocal selections were rendered by Miss Hutchings, Miss Howland and others.
The Faculty have been unable to secure the Kansas City orchestra that we had last year.
Political Science Club
The lecture of Hon. Chas. Scott, last Friday eqenning before the Political Science Club brought out an audience that very comfortably filled the auditorium of Snow hall. Mr. Scott in speaking of a "Session of Congress" first gave a short description of the city of Washington, its peculiarly laid out streets and its location. The place which naturally attracts the visitor, however, he said is the House of Representatives where one may see "the piston work of the wheels revolve." The first impression on entering the House is that you have made a mistake and gotten into a menagerie. The scene is one of great confusion. Members are talking, laughing or seemingly doing nothing. Attention is rarely paid to a member when he is attempting to make a speech.
M. r Scott then described the routine work of the House and very clearly illustrated the method of fillibustering so frequently employed to impede measures.
The Senate was spoken of as a more staid, dignified body than the House. Some of the more prominent men in the Senate, as Messrs. Evarts, Sherman, Plumb and Ingalls, were spoken of, as well as Messrs. Randall, Reed, McKinley, Mills and Cox of the House.
Mr. Scott spoke very highly of the Kansas Senators. Mr. Ingalls is recognized as the parliamentarian of the Senate while Mr. Plumb is authority especially on financial measures.
The official society was characterized as being "extremely gay on its surface, but flat and stale beneath the surface."
Mr. Scott gave as his general impressions formed while in Washington that "the business of the United States Government is done, in the main, honestly, thoroughly, and effectively. The men in Congress are, on the whole, men of courage, ability and honor. The houses are extremely sensitive in their honor as bodies. Money and money alone can not influence their acts."
The lecture was listened to attentively throughout.
Prof. Canfield is to be congratulated on being able to provide such a good course of lectures in his department. Some of the other departments might profit by his example.
Next Friday evening Hon. Stewart O. Henry of Denver, will address the Club on "The Materialism of Today."
Curry says it is a base fabrication that he always runs into the front room when any of the young lady students come into the office; even if he can see a petticoat around the corner.
The "Little American Lord."
This charming little drama is to be presented at the opera house, Thursday evening, May 9th.
The entertainment is given under the auspices of the You and I Club and we anticipate for them a great success.

Philological Club.
At the meeting last Friday night, Mr. Sterling gave an account of a reprint of an old English translation of the second book of Herodotus, edited by Andrew Long. To this reprint the editor has prefixed two essays. "The Religion of Herodotus" and "The Good Faith of Herodotus." In the latter he makes a very spirited defense of Horodotus against the arguments of Prof. Sayre, by whom the good faith of Horodotus is impugned. He takes up Sayre's arguments in detail, and shows that while Herodotus was not a historian in the modern sense, he cannot be charged with bad faith. His history contains a wealth of stories and legends which a more careful historian would not have transmitted to us, and he is one of the most delightful narrators in the world. Mr. Sterling read a selection to show the style of the reprinted translation, and also Mr Lang's letter to Herodotus in his "Letters to Dead Authors"
The members of the Club then went into the Classical Museum, where in the presence of the cast
Prof. Wilcox spoke of the Venus of Melos and its proposed restorations. They may be grouped under three heads: those which restore her with another figure, Ares, to her left; those which place an apple in her upraised left hand; and those which make her hold a shield in her left or in both hands. Now the inscribed plinth found with the statue most likely belongs to it, while the hand bearing the apple does not. Hence the first method of restoration is excluded, and the second almost certainly also. Hence, too, if Venus held a shield, it must have been supported on a column by her left side. Her u .finished condition on that side argues that that side was hidden from view. Mr. Overbeck thinks she should be restored in this way, holding up the shield with her left hand, and her drapery with her right. Prof. Heydemann of Halle, has lately proposed a restoration with an apple in her left hand and a trophy to her left. But this combines two ideas which do not belong together. Hence Overbrook's restoration is probably correct.
Miss Hunnicutt spoke of a Greek parallel of Washington, Timoleon of Corinth. They were both Republican leaders, the one restoring an old state after misrule, the other setting up a new state. Timoleon was sent by the city of Corinth to hold Syracuse, the daughter city, rid herself of tyrants and foreign enemies. He succeeded wonderfully, making Syracuse and all Greek Sicily free and independent, and then became a simple citizen. Like Washington his greatness was of the quiet modest kind. Timoleon is more distinctly a deliverer than Washington, as the rule of the mother-country of America was not on a level with the tyrannies of Sicily. Washington is more distinctly a founder than Timoleon. The difference in the work of the two men arises from the difference in the relation of the two colonies to the mother-country. The bond between America and Great Britain was one of dependence, which Washington severed; between Syracuse and Corinth, one of attachment and reverence, which Timoleon tightened. Because the American colonies were not free from the beginning like Syracuse, the older England in Europe and the younger England in America could never be to each other what the older Hellas in Greece and the younger Hellas in Sicily were.

We notice in a San Francisco paper that our W. W. Davis is making himself felt on the "Single tax" question, speaking to quite a large audience on that subject recently. Davis is now attending a law school in San Francisco and has the best wishes of the Courier. We expect to see him back in K. S. U. next year.
This is the title of a chair just established in the University, at the earnest solicitation of Professor Canfield (who has long been preparing for this work), and in response to a marked demand on the part of the students. The Board of Regents have appreciated this demand for some time, but are for the first time able to find the means necessary to support a new chair.
American History and Civics.
The thought is to deepen and broaden the work which leads directly to intelligent and independent citizenship. The new chair takes in all that has heretofore been given of Colonial and Constitutional History, and adds other courses in matters pertaining to public life.
We understand that though independent, the two chairs will work together—the work to be as far as possible continuous, or logically connected.
The old chair becomes,at Professor Canfield's suggestion, that of History and Sociology. It is not known at this writing who will be called to this work, nor precisely what the work will be—but if Professor Canfield's thought is followed it will include Constitutional History,Political Economy,the Rise of Democratic ideas,English and European History,etc.
Board of Regents
The business relative to the selection of a new chancellor and a successor to Prof. Marsh was postponed to the next meeting which will be held June 4.
The number of students interested in this work has grown larger with every passing year, and the general range and effectiveness of the old department being just about doubled. The courses promise to come sharply to the lead among the optionals of the last two University years.
Pi Beta Phi.
The regents at their last meeting elected Mr. Rober; K. Moody to fill the new office of secretary and treasurer created by an act of the last legislature, at a salary of $1,200. Mr. Max Winkler, of Harvard University was appointed assistant in German and French. Mr. Winkler comes highly recommended and will fill a long felt need. Prof. Canfield's chair was divided at his request, he retaining the chair of History and Civics and his associate to take the chair of History and Sociology.
One of the pleasantest and most successful receptions of the year was that given by the ladies of Pi Beta Phi, at the K. of P. hall last Friday evening. The guests either "tripped
the light fantastic" to the strains of the full Mandolin Club, or enjoyed the elegant refreshments served during the evening, or in gay companies whiled away the time most pleasantly over a game of cards, or in tasting the delicious ices. All hearts were merry and it was with a feeling of reluctance that the guests departed at a late hour with best wishes for the future of Pi Beta Phi. One of the novel and pleasing features of the evening was the presentation of an elegant basket of flowers to each of the five gentlemen fraternities represented and a boutoniene of violets to each non fraternity gentleman.
The following were present: Prof. and Mrs. Snow, Mrs Carruth, Misses Huntonoon and Edson, of Topeka, Parker and Shipley of Atchison, Dow of Olathe, Lou Barker, Penfield, Anna Barker, Love, White, Helen Webber, Newlin, McCague, Florer, Mary Manley, Sutliffe, Edith Manley, Snow, Gertrude Crotty, Berry, Millia Crotty, Beard, Buckingham, Griffith, Innes, Tisdale, Scott, Harrison, Miles, Hutchings, Lyons, Roberts, B'anche Webber; Messrs.

And this conclusion especially impresses itself upon us when we note that you abolished the hat
Prof. Blackmar Elected.
Tuesday the board of regents after the consideration of all the applicants elected Prof. Frank W. Blackmar, who is now taking an advanced course at John Hopkins, to fill the associate chair in the history department. Prof. Blackmar is a graduate of the University of the Pacific, a republican, a prohibitionist, a Phi Psi. The following letter to the regents bears Prof. Blackmar good recommendations, and the Courier bids him welcome.
H. B. ADAMS.
JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY Baltimore, Md.
"The best man I can suggest for your purpose is Mr. F. W. Blackmar, our senior fellow in History and Politics. He was for some years professor in a California college before coming here and has just received an offer of $1500 to go to Mills College in that state. He used to receive $2000, but deliberately threw up a good place in mathematics for the sake of studying history. He is a man of fine character and ability with lots of hard sense and good tact, withal a good speaker and writer. I have employed him upon the most important of all the government monographs, the Relation of Federal and State Aid to Higher Education, a work covering the financial history of education in thirty-eight states. His report has just been accepted in Washington and will do Blackmar great honor. In fact he can get almost anything he wants after that post-t is published. You will be lucky if you catch him early and you will have to give him all the law allows. I shall recommend Blackmar to the vacancy arising at Bryn Mawr, where Woodrow Wilson used to be; if I am asked to nominate. Blackmar is married, has had experience as a co-educator, and has served as an assistant here, aa well as a popular lecturer to workingmen. I have just answered three applications for professors, but have given you the best man Very truly.
AGAIN K. S. U. is at the front.
We have just received No. 1, Vol 1,

is the first paper published in Oklahoma, and is a good illustration of the "getup" of the average K. S. U. man. It is unnecessary to add that the Getup has the best wishes of the COURIER.
The Philosophy of Inequality.
ED. H. HUGHEs, Wesleyan University, Dela-
ware, Ohio.
ALTHOUGH Kansas did not take first place in the Inter-collegiate contest, yet she has reason to be proud of her representative, who won the esteem of all those whom he met and inspired them with a regard for Kansas originality. While we would have been better pleased had Brewster won first place, yet we know that he ably represented Kansas, and we are satisfied.
Social conditions are the prolific source of rebellion against imparity. Widows' homes, orphans' asylums, and almshouses, stand contrasted with unbroken households, cheerful nurseries and brown-stone fronts. Men look indignantly upon this picture of social life. Suffering Lazarus excites their deepest sympathy. Purple-clad Dives bears the odium of existing conditions. Pity overpowers reason and dictates the cry—"inequality is a product of custom, not of necessity. Custom must be brought into harmony with justice." Influenced by this thought our enthusiast gives free rein to daring fancy and becomes an apostle of the gospel of equality.
Society is regulated by two laws. One is inherent; the other, adopted. One is immutable; the other, variable. One is self-executive; the other must be executed by chosen means. Inherent law establishes the fact; adopted law supplies the conditions. The one says—"Man must think;" the other—"Man must proclaim thoughts that prove loyalty to government. The mutual relation of these last often leads to a false classification. Inherent law has been declared legalized custom and captious minds have clamored for its anulment. Futile are all endeavors to make better what Omniscience has made best. Reformers propose a visionary scheme of government as a substitute for the plan inaugurated of God. Prominent among their attempts is the one whose object is the repeal of the law of inequality.
Is general inequality avoidable? Nature, in the language of analogy, answers—"No," and makes earnest protest against universal equality. "To him who holds communion with her visible forms, she speaks a various language." Variety is her law. The relations among her products are expressed by the sign of equality. Shrubs, trees, hills, mountains, rivers, oceans, islands, continents—all speak of inequality in the earth's structure. Anemone and oak grow in the same soil and derive vitality from the same elements. But nature is none the less beautiful because of her lack of uniformity. Her variety, rather, is her charm. She is none the less useful because here she rises into lofty mountains and there extends herself into rolling prairies. Thus society's analogue declares inequality to be an inherent law of human relations.
Imagination builds lofty castles; experience levels them to the ground. Test the theory of universal equality by the results of its operation. Its advocates speak eloquently of this Utopia, and, considering their system only in its inauguration, fancy that their dream may become a reality. Not candid, not truly philosophical, they study introduction apart from conclusion. A factitious sentiment results, leading to the advocacy of an impartial division of all material wealth. Like all other false doctrines this one in [Continued on third page.]

cludes only sufficient truth to render it plausible. An inspection of human character and environment betrays the fallacy. This man is shrewd and industrious, that man, stupid and thriftless. This man is deterred from labor by disease and accident; that man is advanced to riches by health and good fortune. This man maintains a large and expensive family; that one supports himself alone. This man develops and utilizes all his powers; that one wastes his life in indolence and sloth. Condition will eventually respond to character and culture. For, inequality of ability produces inequality of attainment. Furthermore, the theory is impracticable because not all occupations are equal either in duties exacted or interests involved. The difficulty and general utility of any employment determine the remuneration of its followers. An inmate sense of justice claims premium for superiority.
But a doctrine declared false by history and by reason demands fertility in expedients. The charm in the discovery of this Elysium must not be broken by the cold logic of facts. Seeing that their empire of equality is not yet established, the upholders of this theory suggest an annual re-distribution. This plan would destroy all incentive to labor. No man would distribute the fruits of his honest toil among the idle and vicious. Ardor of enterprise would no longer characterize our commercial system. For commerce admits of but one equality—that of honest competition. Human nature presents an insuperable barrier to the progress of this reform. Is it eagerness to uplift humanity that has led to this idea of a division of wealth? Is it the fancied ignominy of poverty that has stirred hearts to their depth, and incited the promulgation of this view? Or is it malicious envy that has overcome the instincts of the nobler self and demanded wealth that has been gained by the sweat of others' brows? Whatever the motive, the result is invariably the same. Although these pretended reforms have been rendered attractive by rhetoric beauty; although powers of vivid description have presented the moral and social advantages of this glittering empire; yet common sense the preventive of continual revolution, has overcome its flashy rival and fancy has surrendered to practical truth. The deceptive currents of imaginaion have whirled men into this channel "of appearance where naught but fallacy reigneth." Enthusiasm, unfounded and unbounded, has caused bold statement, reckless conspiracy and desperate attack against existing institutions. The scaffold and the guillotine have changed imaginary into real ignominy; centuries will not obliterate the sad memorials of man's folly. The hopeless experiment has merely displayed the monumental ignorance of those who detest, denounce, defy the Providential order. The tempest of impulse is at last stilled under the calming influence of cool judgment.
He who properly respects himself, now asks nothing more than a hearty recognition of his manhood. Men wisely conclude that a ship with a nobler device upon her streaming banner will never plough the waves of the dark and dreary social sea.
We study mankind by comparison and by contrast. We begin by discovering resemblances and end by contemplating diversities of character. This fact is conspicuously illustrated in our own America. The profound German, the vivacious Frenchman, the strong-minded Euglishman, the witty Irishman and the honest Scotchman—all have contributed to the composition of the national character. Every American audience is a world of miniature. Often in the veins of one person flows mingled the blood of the five great races. The qualities that distinguish men and those that distinguish nations combine to produce inequality in human endowments and acquirements. This inequality is as prophetic as it is historic. In one there burn fires of sparkling imagination; in another there surge powers of resistless argumentation. In one there glows the genius for music or art; in another, the genius for invention or handicraft. Whence arises this state of inequality? Equalize conditions, it is said, and you will equalize character. The answer is—condition is rather the product of character. The true, divine philosophy of inequality is bound in the fact that the varieties of opportunity or individual activity and the interaction of diversified talents supply the only conditions under which human progresss is possible. Behold now the results of that innovation which establishes equality among men. Let a capable power issue this decree—All men shall be equal. There shall be no poor, no rich; no weak, no strong; no ignorant, no learned. What would result? The outcome would be the creation of individual independence. No one can be dependent upon his equal. In fact the extent of our dependence upon any one is determined by his relation to us and by his superior power and means. Our dependence upon the infinite is, therefore, absolute. Independence among men gives rise to universal brotherhood. Establish equality and you sweep away influence, the grandest agency in the world's amelioration. Influence implies inferiority. One cannot influence him who is in all respects his equal. Upon this condition friendship's foundation is laid. Love is the result of the soul's influence. Not even this divine principle could exist under the dominion of equality. Ordain independence and you destroy sympathy. There could be no excitent of sympathy if there were no inequality of suffering and hardship. The breaking of this golden band would mark the dawn of an era of supreme selfishness and stoicism. Equality would expel from the minds of men all thought of laudable enterprise; for under its reign there could be no greatness. No name would shine with the lustre of renown. No heart would thrill under the commanding influence of any historic character. Providence being merely general, there could be no men whose marked genius and splendid service in times of emergency seem to indicate providential dealing. The regime of equality would annihilate many practical moral virtues; for the possibility of evil gives to righteousness the coronal glory. If there were no penury, no pain, what would become of fortitude, patience, resignation? If there were no greatness, no wealth, what would become of benevolence, charity, human pity? If there were no luxury what would become of temperance? If there were no power what would become of justice? Under the proposed system hearts could never prove their sterling coinage. The withering breeze of selfishness would blast forever pure generosity, noble self-denial and heroic devotion. Under the present system the surface of character may seem chilled by worldly cares, or etiquette may cultivate the art of pleasing, yet the warmth of human sympathy lives in the depths of the coldest heart and at times the dormant fires blaze forth and betray the sympathetic nature
The perversion of the principle of inequality arouses opposition to the principle itself. It may be said that inequality necessitates power and that power is often misapplied. True it is that "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn." But equally true it is that gravitation ceases not her operation even when life is imperilled.
"When the weak mountain trembles from on high.
on mg.,
Shall gravitation cease if you go by?"
Ah! True it is that power is not always indicative of merit. True it is that misguided power has baffled reform, prevented education, neutralized morality, stifled conscience, silenced the pleading tones of religion and given fearful force to ignorance and vice. Yet let it be remembered that power, although the father, is yet the conquerer, of persecution. For when the legions of evil have been routed and the emblems of victory have graced the banners of right, then have been aroused the energies of strong souls and power has become the ally of truth.
What, then, is the proper deduction from the existence of inequality Not that any man should be enslaved, but rather that all men should be free to exercise those "inalienable rights" to which nature entitles them. Plato may write of the model *Republic*, Moore may find in "Utopia," a political and social paradise; Bacon may describe a "New Atlantis"—but society will never be regenerated until the dawn of the joyous morn when the heralds of peace shall proclaim the universal equality, rot of accident, nor of artificial conditions, but of moral privilege and of enlightened conscience and shall announce as the criterion of every man's conduct

"Judge Whitman has inaugurated his judicial career by letting out Mr. Crist, Governor Ross' solicitor general, and confirming the title of Mr. Ralph Twitchell to that snug berth. The Optic does not know Mr. Crist, but it knows that Judge Whitman is an honest and capable judge and that Ralph Twitchell is one of the oldest young lawyers in the south-west." Mr. Twitchell will undoubtedly fill the position of Solicitor General of New Mexico, with credit not only to himself but to his alma mater.

The object apology of the Times last week in regard to its Junior article of the week before is but another example of "how are the mighty fallen!" Indeed it keeps the editors of that sheet busy taking back in one issue what they said in the last. The statement that "a communication written by some wild-eyed individual upon the Junior class election" was run in "by the inexcusable blindness of some one" is quite a compliment to the rising and brilliant young journalist who held down the important position of editor-in-chief in Mr. Reed's absence. Had Mr. Reed's fatherly guidance and control been withheld from the columns of our highly esteemed contemporary for a few weeks longer its meteoric brilliance would soon have gone to light up other worlds than our own.
At the close of the reports and discussions on the Missouri Compromise, Professor Canfield expressed himself as greatly pleased with their thor-
oughness and with the intense interest shown by the members of the class. He said that he very much doubted whether the per cent of so-called public men had as intelligent comprehension of all the pros and cons, the ins and outs, the whys and wherefores, of this great question as was manifested by the class. "And the best part of this is," he remarked "it is their own work not mine, not ideas gathered from some text book but conclusions reached after a careful and critical examination of a large number of original sources of information. It is the independent conclusion of each student that is valuable to him—and the process by which he reaches this conclusion."
As the year is drawing to a close we feel it our duty to say a word about the University and what it offers to the young men and women of the State, who are contemplating entering college next year. The various courses have been enlarged and improved. New chairs and assistantships have been established. The libraries both general and law are being constantly added to, and everything points to the year 1889-90 as an extremely successful one in the history of the University. There is no college in the State that can show as broad, thorough, and liberal courses of study as are presented here. No college can show a finer corps of professors, a more creditable roll of alumni and alumnae,'or a better class of students. The Faculty and students are in closest sympathy with each other, and we believe the character of the work done and of those doing it, excelled in no college or university in the west.
day class of students as you will find anywhere. Moreover the State University is an institution for the whole State and not controlled by or for the adherents to a single denomination. We believe it to be the duty of the people of this State of Kansas to patronize their State institutions above all others, and it should be a matter of pride to every father and mother in the State who can afford to give their children the benefit of a higher education, to send them to the Kansas State University.
For a first class, thorough, higher education the State University is the place to come. And once for all,we wish to contradict any foolish prejudices which may lurk against the University in any part of the State, because of the idea that a "fast set" prevails here, or that the University is an institution for the rich and the aristocratic. Nonsense. As long as Kansas is as democratic as she now is, and as long as her people have the hard sense that they now have, and which they transmit to their children, there is no danger of aristocracy or foppishness at the University. In fact no such thing exists. K. S. U. students are for the most part young men and women of moderate means, and of sturdy common sense. There is no fast set here either. There may be some black sheep among us; such are found everywhere except possibly in a college of arch-angels. But as a class we are as steady, hard working, every-
THERE seems to be a prevalent uncertainty among the students, as to the existence of a Faculty rule to the effect that all students whose term grades average above 90 per cent may be exempted from examination. We have spoken to several members of the Faculty and there seems to be a divergence of opinion even here. Some hold that such a rule does exist, and others that it does not. However that may be, we know that a number of the professors are intending to follow that idea this year, much to the satisfaction of the students. In fact this ought to be the law whether it is or not. It is time we were getting over the antiquated idea of regular term examinations. An educational revolution on the subject is affecting all the college world, and don't let K. S. U. bring up the rear in the reform. The evils of the examination system we all know: Late hours, cramming, anxiety, and then the day of the so-called test; on which the student is often times so nervous that he forgets all his previous knowledge. No, let ns do away with this. Give us quizzes or written recitations frequently during the term, and we will warrant that the character of the work accomplished will be better than under the examination plan.
membership of the Club. Hon. Edward Russell has spoken on Civil Service Reform, Hon. Charles S. Gleed on The Money Value of an Education, Chas. F. Scott on a Session of Congress, Hon. James S. Emery on The Beginning of Constitutionalism, and Professor Canfield on Socialism.
The Political Science Club.
The last meeting for the current year was held Friday evening, and in spite of the storm, attracted a fair attendance of representative students. The report of the work of the Club for the year just closing was read. The membership has been forty-three. There have been fifteen meetings. Ten of these were devoted to regular programs which includes reports on the State Legislature, the United States Senate and House—when these are in session; Finance and Industry, and Foreign Events and Diplomacy. To these are added two papers on assigned topics, generally taken from current magazine literature. The five special meetings have been occupied with "Talks" by gentlemen outside the
Among the papers presented by students during the year may be noted: American Factory Life American Party Conventions, A National University, Australian Ballot System, Australian Tariff Experiment, Control of Immigration, Is Housekeeping a Failure, Labor in Pennsylvania, Local Government in England, Making and Un-making of Criminals, Manual Training in Public Schools, Official Interpretation of Trusts, Railroads and their Business Relations, State Aid to the Poor, State Trials in the Reign of Charles II, Special Phases of the November Elections, and The Ballot in England.
It is proposed to re-organize the Club next year, and make it a sort of general bureau of advice, suggestion and criticism for topic and theme work; the club to have the first readings of matter prepared under its assistance. With the division of the old chair of History and Political Science and the enlargement of the work by the creation of the chair of American History and Civics and that of History and Sociology, the membership and efficiency of the Club as well as its interest to outsiders will be greatly increased.
The gravity with which Professor Canfield, who is the Ko-Ko of the Club as far as absorbing all offices, is concerned, read the assumed reports of the "Secretary," the "Auditing Committee," and the "Executive Committee" Friday evening afforded the students much amusement.— Tribune.
COLLEGE politics are at a discount just now. Everybody has stopped wrangling for the rest of the year, and is working for K.S.U. Field Day, Commencement, etc., are attracting greater attention than the perennial politician. No more lobbying in the halls, no more surging of angry faces in Room No. 11, no more scheming and wire-pulling for three long weeks. The white-winged angel of peace is hovering with out-stretched pinious over the domes of old K.S.U., for it is too hot to fight. Lets go in and get some ice cream.
'A White Umbrella in Mexico,"by Mr. Hopkinson Smith. Hough-
Cornell has raised the standard for passing examinations from 60 to 70 per cent.
ton, Mifflin & Co. $1.25.
Robort Louis Stevenson declares that all experience is a great book, and it matters not whether we read it in "Chapters XX which is differential calculus, or chapters XXXIX which is hearing the band play in the garden." Mr. Hopkinson Smith has devoted a summer to the delightful idleness so charmingly celebrated by the author of "Virginibus Puerisque."
Leaving behind him the "Sad Sincerity" which oppresses most writers of this decade, Mr. Smith has wandered through Mexico at his own sweet will, hobnobbing with the sacristans of her dusty churches and sharing oranges with street urchins in her sunlit squares.
The record of his wandering makes vivid to us "The charm of this semitropical Spanish iife." The balconies above the patios trellised with flowers; the swinging hammocks, the slow plash of the fountains, the odor of the Jasmine wet with dew, the low thrum of the guitar and click of the castanet, the soft moonlight half-revealing the muffled figures in lace and cloaks."
In the back ground of the picture to be sure, there lurks the somber shadow of the peon, and Mr. Smith does not seek to conceal his dark presence among the holiday maskers. He has chosen to give us the air played by the band in the garden and not the problems in calculus. Then let us avail ourselves joyfully of the permission to be merry.
Yet though catanets tinkle and roses bloom, there is a darker side to life in Mexico. Mr. Smith likes to tell with bated breath of his hairbreadth escapes from what might have proved dangerous situations He likes to tell these stories and we like to listen to them.
The villains he meets are the villains of the opera. Bouffe transplanted from green baize to real sod, to give us assurance that the good old race of robbers did not die out when Margianna poured boiling oil on the forty ill-fortuned thieves who labored too faithfully in "Thieves vocation."
There are some slips in the English of "A White Umbrella in Mexico," but it is hardly pleasant to dwell on the faults of a book which has given us so much real pleasure. Mr. Smith has helped to make life better worth living. Can Professors of the Dismal Science do more?

There's the pretty girl,
And the witty girl.
And the girl that bangs her hair;
The girl that's a flirt,
And the girl that is pert,
And the girl with a baby stare.
There's the dowdy girl,
And the rowdy girl.
And the girl that is always late;
There's the girl of style,
And the girl of wile.
And the girl with the mincing gait.
There's the tender girl,
And the slender girl.
And the girl that says her prayers;
There's the haughty girl,
And the naughty girl.
And the girl that puts on alrs.
There's the tolu girl,
And the "fool you" girl.
And the girl that bets on races;
There's the candy girl,
And the dandy girl.
And the girl that has two faces.
There's the well-bred girl,
And the well-read girl.
And the girl with a sense of duty;
There's the dainty girl,
And the "falanty" girl.
And the girl that has no beauty.
There's the lazy girl,
And the "dalsy" girl.
And the girl that's a merry joker;
There's the girl that's shy,
And the girl that's fly,
And the girl that bluffs at poker.
There are many others,
O, men and brothers.
Than are named in this narration;
There are girls and girls,
And they're all of them pearls,
They are the best thing in creation.

Notwithstanding the heavy rain of the previous day and the threatening appearance of the sky Saturday, the K. S. U. base-ball nine accompanied by a large number of the students, went to Baldwin City to play the first match game of the season. The game was called promptly at 3 o'clock by the umpire and although it was not a game devoid of some brilliant plays by our own team yet it was not one of intense interest owing to the case with which it was won by a score of 16 to 5. by K. S. U. The features
of the game were a fly catch by Hickey in right field, a brilliant stop on first and Schilling's work in the box. The decisions as rendered by the umpire, Fred Grubb, seemed to be wholly satisfactory to both clubs and there was small chance to "kick" owing to the absence of any "rank" decisions. Our boys, although showing a lack of practice, proved themselves far superior to the Baldwin team and we may look hopefully forward to a victory over the Washburn nine. However our boys need constant and careful practice. They should have shut Baldwin out entirely and could have done it had they played together better.
The Universsty, we understand, is placed in somewhat of a guardary in respect to the music department, because of some loose features of the Moody bill. It seems that all fees have been abolished, but no provision made for paying the salary of the Dean, which has thus far been provided for out of the fees of the Department. The consequence is, that sums intended for other purposes, will probably have to be appropriated for the music department, by the Regents. This is an unfortunate state of things, but it has to be done, or the music course abolished. Certainly of the two alternatives the latter is not the one to be chosen.
Professor Canfield has placed in the library MacCoun's Historical Geography of the United States. This work has a very complete set of maps dating from 1474 to the present, and showing in a very clear and striking manner the gradual unveiling of the new continent, the changes in colonial boundaries and the limitation and extension of the territory of the United States by treaty and by cession. The latter half of the volume is devoted to a short historical sketch of the United States with special reference to the maps. The work is one of value, and should be in the possession of every student of American history.
Nobody dares cross the floor of the basement in Snow Hall now, when the Sophomore Zoologists are in session. Those who have been so rash as to make the attempt, say that their steps are accompanied by the low. firm tread of marching feet, to the tune of a simple but familiar melody, perhaps you have heard it.
In looking over the catalogue of the Law department of Columbia College, we were struck with the stringency of the requirements to enter the New York bar. Every graduate from Columbia Law School have to pass a thorough and complete examination before the Supreme court of that State. The course offered is a splendid one of abree years, but the cost is so great that the average western boy cannot afford to go there. Tuition fees are $150 per annum, board averages from $5 to $7 a week and rooms from $8 to $5 a week in the city.
It is about this time that the sweet girl-graduates and the fresh boy-graduates of the high schools of the State are about to mount the rostrum and hurl forth at unoffending audiences their excruciating productions on "The Duties of Life," and the like. They will recover in time however, and will come to the University after while. For this we forgive them. And then we have "been there" ourselves once, and know how it is.
We hear that some students have gone thus far in the year without having paid their University fees. If such is the case, it is strange indeed. Certainly financial carelessness ought to be the last thing to be permitted in University business.

Miss Clara Louise Kellogg
No living singer needs a biography less than Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, and no where in the world would a biography of her be so superfluous as to the cultured and musical people of the continent of America, where her name is a household word, and her illustrious career is familiar in all its triumphant details.
Miss Kellogg was born a child of song. No singer ever came into our prosaic world better equipped by nature for a musical mission. Within a strong vital body was enclosed the exquisite soul of a musician and poet, and the intellectual capacity to achieve. Born of New England parents while they were on a visit to the south, fate seemed to indicate that both extremes of the country should claim her, and before she had reached her "teens" she evinced the characteristic quickness of perception and the warm depth of feeling that mark the natives of both extremes.

THE last quarterly report of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture just received through the kindness of Hon. M. Mohler, contains a complete illustrated list of the native grasses of Kansas besides much other valuable information.
It is very unfortunate that the inter-fraternity base ball league has not been thoroughly organized this spring so that when we come back next September the series of games could be played. It is not too late yet and we trust something will be done.
The present Senior class excites universal pity and commiseration in its inability to furnish talent enough to present a program on Class Day, in connection with the program it will present on Commencement day. The Junior class will have a chance to distinguish itself next year by correcting some of the mistaken notions of the soon to be late lamented class of '89.
P. Wik and Josie went botanizing last week.
With the departure of Professor Marsh, the University loses one of its best Professors and Lawrence one of its brightest citizens. Prof. Marsh has been with the University only three years but during that time he has increased the efficiency of his department until it is second to none. His success as an instructor has been recognized not only in our University and throughout the State, but also at Harvard, his alma mater, where he has been called to take a professorship in the department of Belles Lettres. Before assuming his duties at Harvard he will spend two years in Europe. While we are glad to see the Professor honored thus by his alma mater, yet it is with a feeling of sadness that we see one who has done so much for the University leave it perhaps forever. And this feeling is deepened by the fact that his successor is not yet known, and by the fear that when he is known he will not give that satisfaction so uniformly given by the Professor. As an instructor Professor Marsh has been careful, conscientious, thorough and progressive. He brought to his classes not only a great store of knowledge but he also brought that other most necessary requisite—an immense fund of common sense. It is the loss of such instructors as he that causes us to complain of the niggardly appropriations of the Legislature and makes us wonder how long it will be before our State awakens to the loss it is sustaining in the departure of such men from our educational institutions. That the Professor, and his wife on their European trip and throughout life may enjoy life's richest blessings is the wish of every student of K. S. U. and of the Courier.

One of the most enjoyable lectures given by the Unity Club this year, was the lecture of Professor Marsh, on Hamlet last Monday evening. The Professor took up and discussed the two characters, Hamlet and Ophelia, in a manner that led many to think that they had not read Shakespeare aright. Hamlet's soliloquy, he said, was not a discussion of suicide but his thought as to whether he should kill the King. Was it worth his while? If he killed the King it would of course hasten his own death. Should he commit the murder and take the consequences, or should he allow his uncle to perish from remorse? Hamlet's thoughts on life and his contemplation that man is at best only destined for the worms to feed upon stayed his purpose and made him hesitate to avenge the murder of his father. The Professor in his remarks on Ophelia, said that he could not give her the high character so often ascribed to her. He described her as the typical society girl, vain and foolish, and caring for nothing but Hamlet's good appearance, high position, sweet words and fond caresses. She was unable to comprehend the meaning of love and failed to understand the thoughts and passion of Hamlet and to sympathize with him in his distress. Indeed she only noticed the disheveled condition of his attire and not his pitious look. Hamlet's repulse of Ophelia, then, was not caused by brutality, but was caused by a heart-breaking distress increased by Ophelia's inability to feel his sorrow and to sympathize with him in that distress.
The Professor based his argument mainly on Ophelia's speech in Act II, Scene I; but did not Ophelia in her attempt to describe Hamlet's disordered mind and his mad passion use only the most natural means for such description when she mentioned his disheveled attire, his strange looks and actions?
After the ladies had indulged in a "tilt" with the Professor in defense of the society girl, President Whitman expressed the regret of the Club that they should no more be favored with hearing the enjoyable and instructive lectures of Prof. Marsh who during his stay in Lawrence had made friends and admirers of all whom he had met.
The new officers of the College Y. M. C. A. are, president,E. L. Ackley; vice-president, E. E. Slosson; secretary, C. P. Chapman; treasurer. Dwight Potter.
EDITOR COURIER:—The proceedings of the last meeting of the Philological Club as reported in the Courier brings forcibly to my notice, that the average college professor has no regard for an idea unless it has been buried in the accumulated dust of centuries, and in order to be appreciated by him, must necessarily have ceased to be of any practical use to any one for thousands of years. So the Phantoms of the Pagan past are resurrected continually and are in his opinion at the apex of moral, intellectual, and physical excellence. But in our humble opinions the celebrities of Greece and Rome, including the mythical heroes of the Trojan war, all sink into utter insignificance in comparison with the immortal Washington. The celebrated El-Boranchus, the Arabian philosopher who flourished 337 B.C., (but who is now dead) in his commentaries dwells at great length on the absurdities of different mythical

characters. Among the lot we find Herodotus whom he claims is a myth, and the writings attributed to him justly belongs to Sophocles. Furthermore he claims that Sophocles being cognizant of the untruthfulness of his various narratives assumed the cognomen of Herodotus to give prestige and currency to his orks. Granting Herodotus was the real author, El-Boranchus asserts that his works are so full of exaggeration and distortions of facts that they have no historical value whatever.
Denominational Schools
Protestants, as a general rule, regard it as almost treason against the State that a Catholic should refuse to send his children to the public schools. The Catholics are no doubt honest in their belief that the common school system is dangerous to morals and destruction of religion; yet, notwithstanding all this, they are regarded by the Protestants as enemies of liberty, and simply because they desire to educate their children under the influence of their priesthood, they are accused of seeking to fasten upon our nation a State religion. The common school system is loudty praised by the Protestants. They say that it gives us more and better schools at less expense than any other system, that it brings the different classes of society together upon the same level and thus modifies to a great extent the prejudices of social position and wealth, and that it tends to inspire patriotism and to diffuse a feeling of loyalty for our country. At the same time it lessens bigotry and destroys excessive religious feeling. But all this, it is claimed, the Catholics are wickedly opposing, when they oppose the public schools.
Has it, however, once occurred to these same Protestants that their protestations might, as a boomerang, return upon their own heads with redoubled force? Have they ever stopped to think of the "disloyalty" and "treason" they were practicing when establishing schools and colleges throughout the land and urging the young men and women of the United States to shun "temptation" and the "appearance of evil" by attending a denominational school? Surely if they do stop to think, the Protestants can not but recognize that their actions are strongly inconsistent with their teachings. If one sect has a right to oppose State education in its highest and most complete form where it has to deal with the mature mind, how much more reason have the Catholics for objeciting to entrusting the mind of the
child in its most impressionable period to the influence of the public schools.
That both sects make a great mistake is very evident. Education should consist in the development of the physical and the moral as well as of the intellectual qualities of man. Moreover these qualities can not be perfectly developed where exclusive attention is given to any one of them. Much less can any one of these qualities be developed by implicitly following the teachings of any one theory. The mi.d must be free and must be compelled to think and judge for itself it is to be of any value to its possessor. But in a denominational school it is too often confined to one theology and often times the students' views are narrowed by the bigoted teachings promulgated by the "eminent divines" in the Faculty. More often, however, the mind of the student is narrowed by the limited facilities offered for its development by so many of our denominational schools. This lack of facilities has always seemed to us to be one of the greatest, and at the same time the commonest faults of the denominational system. Not only does it cause a certain narrowness and bigotry in the students, but it also draws them away from State institutions which could furnish them excellent facilities for a thorough education. Nor do the denominations stop there. Instead of establishing one good university in each State they must needs start three or four little schools thus dividing their resources and weakening their energies and capabilities at the expense of the students in attendance.
There was once a time hwen denominational schools were perhaps necessary. But that time is past. Civilization and morality have certainly reached a high enough plane to warrant us in entrusting to the State the education of our youth. The members of all denominations together with those who belong to no denomination, should unite in supporting one great State institution where the best instructors and the best facilities could be found and where the greatest advantages could be gained by the student. Then if schools for the special education of ministers must be established, let them be established close by this State University so that the theological students may have the benefit of its advantages and of its broadening influence. True, some sects would perhaps flourish at the expense of others and perhaps some would die. But if education destroys them, their time of usefulness is past and they merit death.

T
The University
The following is an extract from Regent Gleed's interview in the Topeka Capital:
"The University gets more respect and affection now than ever before and I am certain deserves more than it gets. It is in a remarkably harmonious condition—internally and with the outside world. It is not yet appreciated as it should be by Kansas, for our people have never yet taken time to appreciate half their good things, the University among the number.
"Outside of Kansas in educational circles, the University commands great respect. Harvard accepts its degree—which it does from no other western institutions excepting the University of California and the University of Michigan. Our reputation outside of Kansas is due to the individual reputations of the members of the Faculty and the standing of the students who go out. Every educator of consequence in the United States knows and admires J. H. Canfield, every natural historian knows Frank H. Snow. Arthur G. Canfield and W. H. Carruth are masters of modern language teaching and are poets fast gaining a national reputation. The mathematicians and engineers sent out by Miller and Marvin are running railroads and building railroads all over the country. Blake has few superiors as a physician—picularly in the great modern field of electricity. Wilcox, of the Greek chair: Robinson, of the Latin chair; MacDonald, of the oair of Music; Sayre, of the chair of Pharmacy; Bailey, of the chair of Chemistry; Green, of the Law department; Arthur Richmond Marsh, the brilliant young professor of English, and his able assistant, Charles G. Dunlap, and the otter worthy men and women of the list are famous or getting famous rapidly.
"It is known in the east that the University is an honest institution and does 'honest work. All that it pretends to do it does thoroughly."
The Science Clnb Annual.
The annual meeting is devoted entirely to reports of original work and there is not a little strife among the different scientific departments to see which shall make the best showing. This year twenty-one papers were presented and it was found necessary to devote both afternoon and evening to the sessions. In spite of the storm both meetings had a good attendance. In the Friday afternoon session the first paper was by Professor Murphy and consisted of notes on the influence of various kinds of paper on blue prints, and a
mathematical calculation of the form of columns of uniform strength and of the maximum bending moment in beams and arch-ribs.
The second paper was by V. L. Kellogg, on the Lanidie, making an addition to the 835 birds which have been found in Kansas. Mr. Kellogg also read the record of bird migration for the spring of 1889, as this is one of the stations for the investigation of bird migration of the American Ornithological Association.
Prof. Blake followed and gave the result of his investigations to ascertain the corrections for Thompson's calorimeter, which has been used in testing Kansas coals.
The fourth paper was by Gertrude Crotty, on the development of the snail from the egg, and on the anatomy of the nervous system of invertebrates. The paper was illustrated by twenty black board drawings and represented the result of months of hard work in the Natural History laboratory.
W. S. Franklin on the Psychology of counting, and a new system of Derived Units, showing the analogy of the action of the brain in counting to the mechanical action of a counting machine, and presenting a complete system of dynamic and electrical units derived entirely from units of mass and energy. Prof. Sayre and two of his students presented the result of their work in the analysis of the Mountain Sage.
The last paper of the afteruoon was by Prof. Bailey and W.B. Hilton showing that the effects of some acids was to change calomel into carrocine sublimate.
In the evening session E. E. Slosson reported a case of polydactytism, and Geo. F. Weida read a paper on the purity of commercial potash and soda.
Prof. Bailey followed with a report on the analysis of Kansas coal which was conducted in the Chemical Department during the winter. A great number of specimens of coal representing seven counties of the State were examined and the results averaged and tabulated.
E. C. Franklin, on Methods of Stating the Results of Water Analysis, was next in order. Mr. Franklin's paper represented a great deal of labor and showed conclusively that the ordinary way of reporting water analysis was in many cases incorrect.
The room was then darkened and Mr. V. L. Kellogg presented the results of his work of the past two or three years in the mallophaga. In his study of these insects which our readers will know better perhaps by the name of bird lice. Mr. Kellogg has made some discoveries which will
create a sensation when they are made known to the scientific world. The new electric stereopticon worked well, throwing a clearly defined image on the wall, magnified four hundred diameters. The slides were mostly from Mr. Kellogg's collection but Prof. Snow amused the audience by putting a cell of Lawrence water in the lantern and showing the animals in rapid motion on the wall. The lantern will be a valuable feature of the Science Club meetings in the future.
Two papers were presented by Prof. Snow, one giving a discovery of the mode of respiration in Salamanders, and the other the curve of mean temperature for twenty-one years at Lawrence. This chart, which presented the average of 23,000 observations in a form to be seen at a glance, showed many peculiarities of Kansas weather, the hottest day of the year is July 15th, with a mean temperature for twenty-one years for 81 degrees, and the coldest, January 8th at 18 degrees. The mean temperature for the whole year is 52 degrees.
The last paper was by Prof. Sayre and Miss B. L. Hill, of the Pharmacy department, on the analysis of the pawpaw. A remarkable essential oil was procured from the pawpaw seeds which was exhibited to the Club. Tribune.

University that attracts but little attention from the casual visitor, he has no rare geological specimens or triumphs of the taxidermist's art to attract and please the eye of the sightseer, but for fifteen years the University of Kansas has not had a more faithful, devoted worker than he has been. In his department of mathematics there is nothing pleasing to any but those who love the demonstrations of truth, but out of his room have come some of the best mathematicians and engineers of the United States, and no student has ever left the alma mater without a feeling of the highest regard for the man who in his quiet and unobtrusive way has done so much for the University. The institution will never know a more faithful friend and untiring worker than he is, nor one more universally esteemed by this associates and pupils. The Trilune wishes the Professor a pleasant vacation.—Tribune.
The Sophomores held a meeting Saturday at 3 p.m., for the purpose of organizing and electing officers for the ensuing year. The meeting was called to order and H. F. Roberts made temporary chairman. The matter in hand, the election of officers, was immediately proceeded with. A motion was carried to the effect that the officers consist of a president, secretary and treasurer, historian and prophet, poet, and orator. The election was then taken up and the offices adopted were filled as follows: President, M. A. Barber; secretary and treasurer, historian and prophet, Miss Effie Scott; poet, Jus D. Bowersock; orator, H. F. Roberts. Committees were appointed on class yell, class motto, class colors, etc., to report at next meeting. The Sophomore class includes some of the best students at K. S. U., and this organization as a class is highly commendable. There has been no squabbling over honors and it is to be hoped that the class will keep up its record in this respect as well as in scholarship.
In speaking of prospective presidents for the Missouri State University, the Kansas City Times has the following concerning our own Prof. Canfield:
"There is another man not a citizen of Missouri but a resident of Kansas, Prof. James H. Canfield, of the Kansas State University, who is one of the acknowledged educational leaders of this country. Professor
Canfield is the most popular professor in that State. In many respects, he stands educationally head and shoulders above any university man in the west. Preeminently he draws the students to him, engaging in his address, always sociable and wholesouled, and possessing all those traits which make the head of an institution popular with all classes. He is the best man to go out among the people and make the University known, that there is in the Mississippi valley. Our University needs fresh air, and none is so well prepared for that operation as is the popular James H. Canfield, of Lawrence."
Bian S. Hutchins, of Kingman, has been appointed deputy oil inspector for the Seventh Congressional district, exclusive of Wichita, by State Oil Inspector, A. H. Carpenter.

FIELD Day to morrow.
The Senior composite photograph resembles a Haskell student.
With a gasp of relief and a thrill of gratefulness too deep for words, the anxious Times makes its bow to the Washburn Reporter and says "thanks," which being interpreted, is "we cannot tell a lie, but we are glad you can."
WALTER DAVIS writes Professor Canfield that he leaves San Francisco on June 1st, for Alaska, where he has charge of the Government survey which is to locate meridian 141 degrees, the east boundary of Alaska. Davis says "Don't think it strange should you not hear from me for some time."
THE Washburn Reporter and the University Times are engaged in the game of "You tickle me and I'll tickle you." Perhaps Brother Stone is trying to hide his defeat for the Inter-State presidency by fawning on the ones who "did him up" or more probably he is flirting with one of the K. S. U. fraternities a la Culver.
Some valuable prizes were offered in the field day contests at the University of Kansas. A public spirited clothier donated "a good pair of pants" to the winner of the mile walk, and a "flannel shirt" was offered to the winner of the wheelbarrow race. But more remarkable still were the offers of two bath tickets, one good for twenty baths, the other for sixteen, to the winners of the broad and high jumps. Citizens of Lawrence show deep interest in the young men of the University when they offer such prizes. —Kansas City Journal. The Journal evidently does not appreciate the generosity of our merchants.
The Review election Monday was an outrage on the shareholders. The rights of the minority were deliberately mocked at and trampled upon. Law and justice were unheeded and simple brute force and numbers voicing itself through that subservient tool called the president, triumphed. The election of directors was carried on in direct contradiction of the express provisions of the statutes of Kansas, but this same president on an appeal, decided against the statutes, thus depriving the minority of any voice in the management of the corporation's affairs. A protest was made against the election and it would be well if this protest were enforced by legal means. Perhaps the Phi Beta Chi combination which has been howling all year against "non-representative publications" and has been crying out for "student organizations" would be compelled to follow its own teachings. As it is, its actions give the lie to its words.
The Pall Mall (London) Gazette clips the following from the Inquirer, which will be of interest as showing how we are regarded abroad.
"The Kansas Legislature is now considering the propriety of preventing by law the teaching of Free Trade in its University at Lawrence. And the New York Independent, a paper which boasts of being the foremost religious paper in the States, justifies the prohibition! It classes "Free Traders" with "Andover Theologians without Gospel," and with "Anarchists without common sense." It says that as Free Trade in the States is prohibited by law, for any of the officers of the University to teach it is as bad as if they were to teach Mormanism, anarchy, disloyalty, atheism, deism, or open rebellion, and concludes by asserting that "it is high time that parents especially, should ponder over this important matter,decide whether they will,even
indirectly, support such institutions, or permit their sons to be taught or led astray by such teachers." This is protection with a vengeance. To be a Free Trader in America bids fair to be as dangerous as at one time it was to be an Abolitionist."
WE SHALL all soon rest from our studies, and each one will naturally recommend the University to prospective students. Hundreds of boys in our State are anxiously planning to go to some institution of learning. Many of them get the impression that K. S. U. deals with branches too difficult for them to master. As a consequence numerous little colleges find means for scanty subsistence in this cultured State, and, as we maintain, to the detriment of the educational interests of Kansas.
Let us explain. A county contains perhaps 100 school districts. The wealth of the population is sufficient to justify the organization of a County High School which prepares for complete admission to the University. By establishing such a school we should insure uniformity of text books and system and a definite ultimatum. What teacher does not realize the value of such advantages?' then again, in the county normals we would not find such bitter clashings of opinions and such an utter lack of standard. Every teacher could know the standard of the institution for which he is fitting his pupil and would dare to instruct without that hesitancy which renders the pupil a passive recipient.
But instead of a county school under the control of those most vitally interested, what have we? Possibly two limping colleges, engineered by some incompetent eastern, boys who out of sheer desperation and incapacity for any other occupation, have recklessly cast the die in the educational line. These 'COLLEGES' survive one, two, or sometimes three years and yield to the inevitable fate of poverty, thus leaving room for a rival 'institution.' The disorder which they have created during their short existence has produced an incalculable amount of harm, and, at least so far as the deluded students are concerned, the injury is forever irreparable.
We admit that even such facilities are better than no education. An education may be plucked from a 'system of chaos,' but we cannot afford to surrender our interests to the chaos of such a 'system.'
tals. It is of no advantage for one to endeavor to gratify pomposity by pretending that his education has been acquired in paradise, and that it consists of wisdom too profound for ordinary comprehension. By so doing he lessens the very advantages of which he boasts. Remember this all summer, and use your influence to swell the number of students at K. S. U.
Each student who leaves this spring, has it in his power to convince some prospective student that the course of study here is not beyond the ability nor necessities of ordinary morprinted just as though it were original report, whereas it is simply stolen direct from the columns of the Tibune. The article is precisely the same as the one appearing in the Courier, with the difference that the Courier gives the Tribune credit for it, while the Times does not. Then on the opposite page of our E. Contemp, appears an extract from Regent Gleed's interview in the Topeka Capital. This, strange to say, is credited to the Tribune. Two columns more are given to exchanges, most of them interesting. For instance there is one about the "Colossal statue of William Penn, on the new city hall of Philadelphia;" another on the "Ohio compulsory educational bill," and still another on the "National debts of different countries." These, to be sure, are not credited to any exchanges, and they have about as much to do with the University as do the waves of the ocean, but we have no doubt they will be eagerly perused by the Times' exchanges. We suggest, dear Times that you print the election returns of last fall, when next you have to fill up your exchange columns. Thrilling little things like these, you know, are hard for students to get at, and cannot fail to excite intense interest. Then aside from the five columns of clippings which the Times offered to the student public last Sunday, was a column article devoted to "Scenes at the Bridge." This, for a wonder, was not a clipping, although it would have been better if it had been. It was a soul stirring article, and doubtless the Times subscribers were glad to be informed of what happened at the bridge. It will now be in order to publish something about "Scenes in Oklahoma." To be sure, Oklahoma is not K. S. U., and neither is the Kaw river bridge, but then there is more than one way to fill up a paper without using "plate matter." The Times has tried both. Which do you like best? We feel sorry, in act it grieves us exceedingly to see what little interest the Times staff takes in keeping the paper alive. It seems a pity, doesn't it, that they eave everything to the editor-in-chief, who in consequence, is obliged to write his editorials with the "scissors." while he criticises the Courier with his pen. And then to go away and have things run so badly that he has to write an apology in one issue and howl at the Courier in the next, because it laughed at the dilemma. Poor Times, poor editor!
"Yes, it's too bad, but it must be remembered that the Courier has a weakness for the scissors—the pen is mighty but the scissors is mightier in the hands of a Courier editor." Times of May 24.
Disregarding the punctuation—or the lack of it, and the elegant grammatical construction of this limpid little paragraph, which indicates an extended knowledge of the elements of English grammar on the part of its author, we proceed to the point.
"The scissors is mighty," the Times says. Very well. We were fortunate enough to receive that paper through the mail last Sunday—it is published "every Friday morning," you know—but since the greater number of our readers have probably not seen it, we hit upon the idea of furnishing them a little additional proof on the "scissors question" by taking that issue of the Times as an example. The scissors certainly find there a glorious opportunity of showing how mighty "they is."
First, take last week's Courier. Of the ten columns on its inside pages, throwing out two columns occupied with "ads," all but two and a half consisted of regular editorial matter. The "scissors" articles comprised an extract from Regent Gleed's interview in the Capital Commonwealth, on matters pertaining to the University, and the Tribune's account of the Science Club Annual. That was all. Now turn to the Times of the same date. We find no two columns of advertisements on the inside pages here, for the reason that the Times has only enough "ads" to barely cover the back page. But it makes up for its lack of advertisements in the quantity and length of its clippings, of which there are five full columns altogether. And yet, in such an issue, the Times presumes to refer to the Courier as using the scissors. Is this brass, or simplicity, which?
Just think of it! Only five columns out of ten left for the brilliant intellect of the Times' editors to scintillate in. But that is not the worst. On the Times' third page appears an account of the Science Club Annual taken verbatim from the Tribune, but no credit given. It is
Review election last Monday. Phi Beta Chi combination again showed its great desire to promote "student organizations" and "representative publications."

A Sophomore Symposium
The class in Faust, which had been spending the week in a study of the history of Dr. Faustus, and the manner in which different authors treated the life of this most interesting character, were invited by Mrs. Carruth to assemble at her home last Friday evening and give the results of their researches. A very interesting series of discussions was presented on the different phases of the Faustdrama. Each member of the class had a special topic, and the whole comprised a comparative study of Goethe's idea and treatment of Faust, with that of other writers.
It seemed to be the sentiment of the class that Goethe rose above all, in both sentiment and diction.
After some time had been pleasantly spent in these discussions, refreshments were served, and soon, in the whirl of Sophomoric conversation, Faust disappeared from sight. Afterwards the discussions were resumed, and when these were concluded, the company gave itself up to social conversation, singing college songs, etc., until the hours flew like minutes. Finally after a most delightful evening, the guests departed voting Mrs. Carruth a charming hostess.
The interesting and able manner in which she has conducted the class through the otherwise difficult study of Goethe, has made the path of the Sophomores a pleasant and an easy one. Both as a friend and an instructor, she has won the regard of every member of the class, and the event of Friday evening proved a delightful climax. May the lot of future classes be as happy.
Commencement.
The Commencement exercises were opened last Tuesday evening by the graduating recital of Mr. John C. Manning, assisted by Miss Josephine Hutchings, soprano, and Prof. Wm. MacDonald, pianist. Despite the fact that it was a bad, rainy night a fair audience was present to enjoy a most excellent program. Miss Hutchings' voice was never more fully under her control and she never sang sweeter. Mr. Manning fairly surpassed all former efforts and well deserved the frequent and hearty applause throughout the evening. All in all, the program was one of the very best ever given by the Music department.
Mr. Manning goes to Boston next fall to complete his studies and the University expects to hear bright things of him there.
A very pretty floral design, Phi Delta, Theta, was presented him by

The Juniors and Seniors who were members of Prof. Marsh's classes the past term made him a farewell call last Monday evening. The Professor entertained them with an account of the Commencement exercises at Harvard, and expressed regret at leaving the scenes of his first attempts at independent work. He said that he would always look back upon his connection with the Kansas State University with feelings of pleasure and would always take an interest in its welfare. He also lamented the lack of class spirit and hoped it would increase as the college grew. The Professor left Tuesday for Harvard where he will attend his class banquet before sailing for Europe.
Our famous ball club was treated to a surprise last Saturday afternoon when K. S. U. crossed bats with the red skins of Haskell Institute. The original idea of the game was to give the boys a little needed practice. But the Indians proved anything but a "snap" for the boys, and for a time defeat for K. S. U. seemed certain. In the last part of the game, however, the boys steadied down and won, by a score of 16 to 14. A fly catch by Esterly was the feature of the game.
Prof. and Mrs. Sayre very pleasantly entertained the Senior Pharmacy boys and their lady friends Friday evening, May 25. Social conversation was indulged in and at eleven o'clock elegant refreshments were served. Every one united in saying the evening had been most delightfully spent. Those present were, Prof. and Mrs. Sayre, Bailey, Snow, Robinson, Dyche, Mrs. Lippincott, Prof. and Mrs. W. S. Franklin, Prof. Wilcox, Miss Rudolph, Mr. Ed Franklin, Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Woodward, R. D. Brown, of Leavenworth, Mr. and Mrs. Snepp, Messrs. Hill, Parker, Webb, Scott, Pollock, Hogeboom, Kennedy, Shane, Keiser, Morris and Lippincott; Misses Drake, of Beloit, Grabe, Towne, Wynne, Kennedy, Soule, Hayes, Mason, Innes, Briggs, Shepherd, and Webb.
From the maddening crowd they stood apart.
The V-A-S-E.
apart,
The maidens four and the works of Art
And none might tell from sight alone
In which had nature ripest grown—
The Boston mind of azure hue,
Or the soulful soul from Kalamazoo.
For all loved Art in a seemingly way,
With an earnest soul and a capital A.
Long they worshipped; but no one brok
The sacred stillness, until up-poke
The Western one from the nameless place
Who blushing said, "What a lovely vace
Over three faces a sad smile flew,
And they edged away from Kalamazoo.
But Gotham's haughty soul was stirred
To crush the stranger with a word.
Definitely hiding reproof in praise,
She cries: "Tis indeed a lovely vaze."
But belief her unworthy triumph, when
the lofty one from the home of Penn—
With the consciousness of two grand papas—
And glances around with anxious thrill,
Awaiting the word *ef* of Beacon Hill.
Exclaims: "It is quite a lovely vahs,"
—M. F. I. Echo.
But the Boston mild smiles courteously.
And gently murmurs, "Oh, pardon me;
"I did not catch your remark, because I was so entranced with that charming vaws."
IT seems somewhat of a pity to have so many of our students leave before the Commencement exercises. The reason of course is apparent. Nearly two weeks are taken up with the graduation exercises of departments and the literary and musical programmes, before the time of the grand finale. Those of us whose pocket books don't warrant the payment of two weeks' extra board and room rent, are obliged to pack up and leave immediately after examinations. Many go home and return Commencement day, and others remain through the two weeks. We know of an upper classman who has never seen the University Commencement exercises, having been obliged to leave every year before that time. We wish this were different, and that when people come from different parts of the State to attend Commencement, we could have the whole body of students present.
AFTER executing his usual fling. White has retired from before a long suffering public. No doubt his "Month" and his poem celebrating the little "tin gods," alias Phi Delts, will go reverberating down the ages much the same as the feet of these same little "tin gods" reverberated down the railroad track on that memerable night with eggs running down their collars.
Last Tuesday evening Miss Howland gave a tea to the Junior ladies of the Collegiate, Music and Pharmacy departments. A delightful time is reported by those present. Very pretty souvenirs of the occasion were cards tied with the class colors, peacock blue and pink.
