Married—At the home of the brides parents in Olathe, Kansas, Wednesday, May 1st, Miss Fannie Pickering and Fred H. Bowersock. Both the parties are well known in University circles, Mrs. Bowersock being a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity and Mr. Bowersock belongs to the Sigma Chis.
The Unity Club.
Last Monday evening the Unitarian Church, in spite of rain and mud, was filled by an audience of town and university folk. The occasion was the celebration of "Washington Day," and, though a trifle premature, was none the less a patriotic celebration.
Music aid addresses constituted the program. Prof. J. H. Canfield occupies the greater part of the evening with a carefully prepared talk entitled, "The Man and the Occasion." Prof. Canfield's remarks were highly interesting and were well received by the audience, but the tinge of pessimism (shall we call it?) which Hon. S. O. Thacher took occasion to differ with, was, to some ultra patriotic minds, not sufficiently in line with tail-teacher pulling practices of such celebrations.
Hon. S. O. Thacher's talk on the constitution was full of strength and feeling and was undeniably American and patriotic. Hon. Ed Russell and Prof. Marsh occupied the little remaining time with some pleasing and pertinent remarks about Madison and Hamilton. Prof. Marsh's suggestion as to Hamilton's ideas of a government which should "work" is a good point. The music under the leadership of Mr. J. Albert Davis was good, showing considerable training in the chorus work. Miss Hutchings' singing was enthusiastically received, her voice showing off well in the simple melody so well known and loved. The whole affair was successful and reflects great credit on the Unity Club and its energetic management.

Senator Evarts Declines.
Chancellor Lippincott lately received the following communication from Senator Evarts which explains itself:
WASHINGTON, D. C., APRIL 18, 1889.
MY DEAR CHANCELLOR LIPPINCOTT—When after much misgivings as to my ability to control my time and obligations as far ahead as June next, I authorized Senator Ingalls to write to you of my readiness to accept the agreeable invitation you had sent me, I feared that somewhat uncertain, but paramount circumstances might arise that preclude me from making the visit to Kansas which I so much desired to make. I find myself at the opening of this month confronted with the situation which I had hoped to escape, and have only delayed since the 1st instant in sending my regrets that I could not be at liberty to take part in your coming commencement celebration by an effort to extricate myself from what I had wished might not be imperative obligations. I now feel that I cannot longer entertain any prospects of its being in my power to come out to Kansas this summer and therefore with great regret at my disappointment of your kind expectations, I must dismiss any hope that I can enjoy the University occasion which I would so gladly take part in. I cannot doubt that you will be able to supply the place I might have occupied, with an acceptable orator, and am
My dear sir your obedient servant,
Wm. M. EVARTS.

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 on Eastern 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 the institutions I have named, and all said 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 standard 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—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. Carcuth burried in a pile of books of Old Norse and Germanic philosophy in the Harvard library. He has been devoting himself to his specialty, and will come back to the University next September as fully equipped for his work as any professor in this country. He is widely known and highly esteemed in and about Harvard, and undoubtedly richly deserves it all.
"Miss Kate Stevens is pleasantly located in Cambridge, Mass., 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 woman more fully recognized by University authorities in the selection of the 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 Kansas history, soon.
"But as I said in the start, we went away to get information on some matters pending before the board. We got pretty well informed on some matters, but our observations may not be deemed valuable by the board, so I shall not ask the Journal to print them."
The Juniors will have a meeting in the near future to decide upon a person to respond to the Senior hat speech, and we understand that there have been two combinations formed among that little body to share a representative. Of course each faction is trying in every way that has been suggested to its limited knowledge and experience to elect its candidate. It has come to a pretty pass, when a small class cannot meet peaceably and decide upon a person for such a position as this. And what is more the class has, so far as the gentlemen are concerned, become divided on the old party lines, which are now becoming really tiresome to most people. As the Betas and Phi Delts stand a very good show for having a greater part of the places on the commencement program, and have had a great many honors during the year, we think it would be well for them to take a back seat and give other persons a chance. And if the Phi Psis have no man that they wish to put up, how much better it would be for them to keep still and not raise the shattered flag again in the midst of easily aroused factions.
Not that the candidate that they are supporting, is not fully competent and would not suit a majority of the class, but they should have learned before this time that their championship is more detrimental than helpful.
It is really disgusting to have to meet with stinking, sneaking underhand work in every University election.
THE Review for April comes out with its usual attractive table of contents. First on the list is a poem by William Herbert (Carruth). Next is one of the series of articles on school life in Russia by C. M. Enns. These are followed by "Religious Dogmatism" by Albert Fullerton, and "Glimpses of the City of Mexico" as seen by Ethel J. Scott's eyes. A poem by Prof. A. G Canfield, and the paper read before the Political Science Club some time since on "The Money Value of Education," somewhat condensed, complete the list.
In another column will be found the program for field day which ought to suit even the most fastidious. Friday, May 31, will probably be set aside this year for the exercises. Now that the ball has been started a rolling let each one see what he can do to promote the success of this year's field day. If you do not intend to compete, at least contribute what you can toward a prize.
Southwestern Tennis Association
In the May Scribner is a poem by Prof. W. H. Carruth, and also one by Miss Kate Stephens, professor of Greek in the University, 1878-9.
In a recent number of Shakesperiana appears an article on the music of Shakespeare over the name of William McDonald, our professor.
The first annual meeting of this association occured in the rooms of the University Club, in Kansas City, Mo., Saturday, April 27th. Mr. J. H. Farrish, of St. Joseph was elected President and Russell Whitman was elected Secretary and Treasurer. It was decided to hold the spring tournament at Excelsior Springs Mo., on May 30th, 31st and June 1st. Four fine courts have been put in condition and the hotel folks will make reduced rates.
Besides the regular Association games, an "Open Tournament" for players in the southwest not regular Club delegates will be held. An entrance fee of two dollars for doubles and one for singles will be charged to these players. Wright and Ditson's tennis ball was adopted as the official ball of the association. A committee was appointed to secure an Association Cup and other prizes.
The Southwestern Association was worked up and organized last summer by Russell Whitman and Prof. A. G. Canfield of the University and F. A. Marsh of Kansas City, and has started very successfully. It is composed at present of the following clubs to which a number of others, including an Omaha Club, will be added soon: State University Club, Lawrence; Topeka Association Club, Teopека; Dykinton Park Club, Kansas City; Kansas City Club, Kansas City; Benton Tennis Club, St. Joseph. The first tournament was held last fall in Kansas City. The doubles were won by the Benton Club and the singles by Rockwell of the Kansas City Club. Some exceedingly fine playing for the West was seen at that time, and it is expected that the play will be much better this year. A grand hop at the "Elms" the big hotel at the Excelsior, will be one of the features of the coming tournament.
THE first annual banquet of the Southwestern Cornell Association will be held at the Midland hotel, Kansas City, next Wednesday evening. In view of the fact that fully 200 Cornell men reside in Kansas and adjacent states, it is expected that this occasion will be largely attended. Governor Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, who is a graduate and an alumnus trustee of Cornell university, will be present if his official duties at that time will permit, and respond to the toast, "Our Alma Mater." Prof. Murphy and George Beeber will be present from Lawrence.
Without intending any disrespect for the individual members of the fraternities, we cannot but have a slight feeling of disgust at the rushing which was done last week by the young ladies' societies. It is well to be temperate in all things, and when rushing—a very good name for it in the instance referred to—is carried to such an extent as to weary the object of their unbounded affections, and all the relations and friends, it ought to meet with decided disapprobation.
A copy of Sexton's Qualitative Analysis has been received from England by the Chemistry department. This is the book which will be used by the Senior Pharmacists next year.
The Regents.
The Board of Regents met at four o'clock Wednesday and did little but organize. All the members were present except Regent Simpson of McPherson. They were also in session yesterday, doing little business except hearing the reports of the committees. The committee on the library facilities made a report on the expenditure of $4,000 of the appropriation, and recommended purchases to be made immediately in order that the books may be placed on the shelves of the library ready for use at the opening of the fall term. The remainder of the appropriation will be expended as needed. The Board will not attempt to elect a chancellor this session, it being thought best to wait until all the members can be present. A special meeting will be held soon, however, to elect one. A special committee is making arrangements for securing an orchestra to furnish music for the commencement exercises.
THE Board of Regents adjourned this morning to meet again June 4th, 1889. They had an unusually large amount of business to transact, among which was the election of an assistant in French and German, and a secretary and treasurer combined. For the first place Mr. Max Winkler, a last year's graduate of Harvard University, was chosen, at a salary of $500. This is a much needed step. Robert G. Moody, son of Senator Moody, was elected as secretary and treasurer. This office, at a salary of $1200 per year, was created at the last session of the legislature. There are fifty applicants for the chair of English Literature. The chair now occupied by Prof. J. H. Canfield was divided into two, one to be known as the chair of History and Civics, and the other as the chair of History and Sociology. Prof. Canfield will fill the former, and a man will probably be elected at the next meeting to fill the latter chair, as well as one to succeed Prof. Marsh.

The various religious denominations are seeking to supplement the educational work of the University of Michigan by furnishing courses of lectures on the Christian Religion and Church History, by eminent men. The University has at present 1,882 students, and the churches recognize it as a center of influence. The Episcopalians and Presbyterians have each an annual course of lectures for the students. The Methodists have, under the auspices of their Wesleyan Guild of the University, a similar course, which is now attracting much attention. The first address in this course was delivered by Bishop John P. Newman, on "the Christian and the Agnostic," and was an eloquent and impressive presentation of the subject. The second, and a no less impressive address, was delivered on March 24th by Samuel G. Smith, D.D. of St. Paul, Minn., on "The Basis of Reward and Punishment. These will be followed by lectures by H.A. Cleveland, D.D., of Indianapolis, and Bishops Warren, Foss and Vincent.-Independent.
PRESIDENT Laws, of the Missouri University, has resigned the position after 13 years of efficient service.

The Music Department at the University.
issouri
sition
e.
The music department is in quite a flourishing condition, the number of students enrolled for the year being between seventy-five and eighty. At the last meeting of the board of Regents it was decided to do away with the contingent fees of all the departments, including Prof. McDonald's department. By this means the poorest student in this Staie can obtain the best instruction in harmony, theory and music generally, free of charge. The board also decided that some general examinations would be necessary for admittance to this department, but these examinations are not, as is generally understood, those required for admittance into the Freshman class.
As music is free to Kansas students, these examinations are given so as not to overtax the facilities of the department.
Mr. J. C. Manning, who graduates this year, will make the fourth graduate from this department. His graduating recital will be given on May 28th, and he will be assisted by Miss Hutchings of this city.
The musical department of the University has made rapid strides in advancement since Prof. McDonald has been connected with the University, both in the advantages offered and in the introduction of improved methods of instruction. The number of students has increased from the first five or six to almost a hundred, and the indications are that this number will be almost doubled the coming school year. The number does not comprise, as before, mainly residents of Lawrence, but the superior advantages offered are attracting students here from all parts of the State. Tribune.
Hon. Joel Moody of Linn county, who spent yesterday in the city, is one of the regents of the State University. That institution is just now without a chancellor, and the regents are engaged in the consideration of the matter of selecting a suitable man to take charge of this great institution. While Senator Moody was unable to talk for publication, we were impressed from the views that he expressed that the University is in safe hands. The regents are all in accord upon the one important point that the people of Kansas must have a University worthy of the State. They fully realize that a strong man of the best attainments having unquestionable executive ability, is required at the head of the University.

Mr. Frank Miller of the electrical engineering department leaves next Saturday to accept a position with the Western Engineering company of Lincoln, Nebraska. This company is the most prominent electrical company in that state is engaged in the construction of electric railways, electric lights, etc. The members of the company are electricians from Cornell and men well learned in everything pertaining to electricity. Miller came here from Terre Haute, Ind., and has been connected with the electrical engineering department for several years. He has always been a good student, has always taken a deep interest in all of the University affairs especially those connected with his department, and was liked by every one who knew him. The demand for electrical engineers exceeds the supply, and if there were more, ready positions could be obtained for them immediately.

The latest addition to our exchange list is The Writer, a monthly magazine for literary writers, published at Boston.

We should be pleased to have the Writer pay us regular monthly visits.
We are glad to be able to acknowledge the receipt of Student this week. The Student is a very creditable publication, and is in all ways deserving of the high place it holds in college journalism.
College journals throughout the whole country are waging war against the present examination system. The old system has certainly many objectionable features, with little deserving of commendation; while the new system wherever it has been adopted has given perfect satisfaction. We know of no better way of obtaining a knowledge of the work done by a student than by grading from his daily recitations; it is certainly more just to the student. The new system we believe to be a valuable reform, and hope soon to see it more generally adopted.
journalism has gone out of fashion at that establishment.

The criticism of the Campus on the Washburn Reporter we believe to be a just one, and would advise the Reporter to be guided more by the old aphorism, "let another man praise you and not your own lips."

The Political Science Club.
The regular session of this club was held last evening in the lecture room of Snow Hall. There was a full attendance of members, to which was added a large number of students connected with other associations, and not a few citizens. The regular exercises gave place to a very interesting talk by Charles F. Scott, the special Washington correspondent of the Capital-Commonwealth, and the editor and proprietor of the Iola Register. Mr. Scott took for his theme "A Session of Congress," and for an hour and a half chatted most informally and delightfully with his hearers about the machinery of government. He described in detail a working day in the House, and in the Senate; sketched pleasantly the office work of a president, and the routine of the departments; and closed with a general survey of the personnel of each House, and the daily life and duties of members and senators. The
vigorous applause at the close attested the enjoyment of his listeners.
The last meeting of the club for the current year will occur May 10th. On that evening Mr. Stuart O. Henry, university class of '81, will read a paper on "The Materialism of Today." After the session it is intended to hold a reunion of Mr. Henry's class at Prof. Jas. H. Canfield's, which will be the first breath of the commencement breeze.—Tribune.

The shades of night were falling fast,
As through the college campus passed
A youth who bore upon his hand
In letters deep the mystic brand,
His brow was sad, upon his nose
His glasses flashed as on he goes.
Within his boot a pistol hung
But on his hand in unknown tongue
But on his hand in unknown tongue Hobo-hobo.
"Oh, come" a tourist cried, "Oh, come and guide me through the museum." The youth stayed not, but passed him by And from the hall sent back the cry,
And from the hall sent back the cry,
Hobo-hobo.
At nine o'clock as onward still
The students clambered up the hill,
Upon the sidewalk painted nice
They found this new and strange device,

The Little American Lord.
This charming little drama is to be given at the Opera House Thursday evening May 9.
No book since Miss Alcott's Little Women, has been so universally admired and enjoyed as Mrs. Burnett's beautiful story of Little Lord Fontleroy, and all will be delighted to recognize Font勒oy in the Little American Lord. The story loses none of its sweetness and purity in being dramatized. The beautiful lesson of the book, of an unreasonable, morose, selfish, tyranical old Earl, becoming softened and almost christianized by the influence and love of an innocent, brave, noble boy, as well as the lives of all with whom he comes in contact being brightened and blessed, becomes more attractive and impressive; while the quaint drollery of the little Lord and his friends Hobbs and Dick pervades the whole play and keeps it sparkling with fun and mirth.
Great care has been taken in the selection of characters, the very best amateur talent of the city (and Lawrence has some, of which she is justly proud) kindly assisting.
The entertainment is given under the auspices of the U and I Cnb, and we anticipate for them a grand success, and for those who are fortunate to go, a very enjoyable evening.

Prof. Wilcox's lecture on Bible Interpretation was listened to by quite a large audience.
The Bible had to be interpreted as soor as the inspired writer had left the scene and new generations with new ideas and a developed language arose. We may as sign all the interpreters to seven schools. All the older interpreters, assuming the verbal inspiration of the Bible, disclaimed to apply the common rules of construction to God's word. They saw a deep hidden meaning in every peculiarity of expression, combination of letters, or any plain historical account of the Bible. Their so called interpretation really was the extorting of such a meaning from the letters of the Bible as in their view was worthy of the Eternal God. The narrow minded rabbis made God say many absurd and grossly wrong things. The early fathers of the church strained nearly every passage of the Old Testament to prophesy the coming of Christ. The Alexandrians and Origen read all the ideas of Greek philosophy into the Bible, and later Catholics and Protestants erected magnificent dogmatic structures on the same letter.
But at last men grew weary of deceiving themselves. The few Maimonides, the Christians, Jerome and Chrysostom, and later the reformers, recognized the human element in the Bible and began to treat it somewhat like other books according to the rules of grammar and in the light of history. Luther still insisted that the Bible should be approached in a prayerful spirit and in reliance on enlightenment from above. Schleiermacher used the light of his religious consciousness. Lessing first cited the Bible into the Court of Reason, and the critical schools following him have done much to give us a truer interpretation of the Bible, although some of them (c. g. Straus and Baur) seems to have been carried away by certain favorite theories.
While the verbal mechanical inspiration of the Bible must be rejected, still the impartial interpreter cannot but see the light of divine inspiration shining forth from every part of that historical record which we call the Bible.
The Seniors held a meeting Wednesday and elected the following program for class day.

The Collegian is published by the students of Dakota Agricultural College and has more the appearance of a literary journal than we would expect of a publication devoted to the interests of agriculture. The Collegian presents a very neat appearance, and is on the whole well edited.
The Dakota Collegiate Oratorical Association holds its second annual contest at Sioux Falls.
The Occident devotes several pages of editorial space to the discussion of the fraternity question, and by a pre-concerted method of reasoning comes the conclusion that they are a nuisance.
The Kansas Star comes to our table this week. The Star is published by the students of the Deaf and Dumb Institute at Oathe, and is edited by the students learning the art of printing. We hope the Star will make us regular weekly visits in the future.
We acknowledge the receipt of the Vevay Reveille, published at Veyy, Switzerland county, Indiana.
The last issue of the Washburn Reporter is made up almost entirely of advertisements and clippings. This new method of journalism is a paying one and can be done almost entirely by the printer.
The April number of the Doane Owl contains the orations receiving first and second place at the State oratorical contest held at Crete.

We give space this week to the winning Inter State oration by Ed H. Hughes. We consider it one of the best productions ever presented at an inter-state contest.
Verily, the lot of the Junior is hard. He scrambleth and sigheth all for naught. The Senior ruleth over his destiny and intercedeth in behalf of peace; he declareth that there shall be no hat speech. Moral: Get a quit-claim deed from your superiors before you lay claim to the earth.
MISTAKES will happen in the best of well regulated offices. By the inexcusable blindness of some one, a communication written by some wild-eyed individual upon the Junior class election, was run in as an editorial in the last issue of the Times. It would have been a sore trial for any paper to print such "stuff" even as a communication, to say nothing of giving it a place on the editorial page. We
apotogise to our readers, and promise that in the future we will have more experienced men to read copy before it is marked O. K.
As to the Junior class election, that is a Junior affair, and as far as the Times is concerned it shall remain so. If the Betas and Phi Deltas, with their friends, were supporting one candidate, and the Phi Psis with their friends were supporting another, we certainly see nothing wrong in this. After such a year of factional fights, it is not strange that even in class elections such a division might be noticed. Students generally know their friends, and vote upon the side of friendship. Hence it is, that it is so noticeable in almost all our University elections, that one number of students may always be found on one side, and another body as certainly on the other.
All this "rot" about "combinations," "stinking, sneaking, underhand work in every election," etc., is fit only for the waste-basket The students of K. S. U. are about as honorable a body of men and women—or boys and girls, if you please—as may be found, and you may pick your crowd. It is time that a few of these dissatisfied and chronic croakers—who wouldn't know a "combination" it they met one in the street, or tell the difference between a clothes-line and a wire-puller—would shut up. Call off your dog.
The New Chairs.
The University has taken so many strides towards the front during the past four or five years, that each step has ceased to attract special notice. But a change has just been made which deserves mention, and which has already attracted wide-spread attention and favorable comment.
For several years Professor Canfield has urged a division of his chair, that broader work might be offered in History and in Citizenship. The Board has never been able to meet the necessary expenses of such enlargement, and the work has been carried or driven toward success under many embarrassments.
But now the Regents find the funds on hand for a new chair, and have determined to establish it in this department. Accordingly a special committee has been in consultation with Professor Canfield, and together they have elaborated courses that are peculiarly attractive.
At his own request Professor Canfield retains the work in American History and Civics, which will hereafter be the title of his chair. American History is the favors option. "Constitutional and Political History of the United States," elaborated and given daily instead of three times a week. This work absorbs "Colonial History," "Finance and Diplomacy of the Revolution," and the "Federalist." In addition to this will be offered work in Constitutional Law, Public Finance and Banking Local Law and Administration, and International Law and Diplomacy.
It is not possible to say now who the new Professors will be, nor what work will be offered. But the two chairs will work together—the work of one really preparing for that of the other, and together they will make a strong team.
The second chair will be History and Sociology.
This division of the old chair gives just twice the latitude in choice of options and elections, and the number of students eager to avail themselves of this opportunity is very large.
Prof. Frank W. Blackmar, formerly a Professor in the University of the Pacific, and at present a fellow in Johns Hopkins, has been appointed to the chair of History and Sociology, which was recently created by the division of Prot Canfield's work. Prof. Blackmar comes with the best of re-commendations, and will be a strong addition to the faculty.
LATER.
The week just passed was probably the most eventful in the history of Iowa College, at Grinnell, Iowa. The occasion was the inter-State oratorical contest and convention. Early in the week the spacious halls of the Chapin House were alive with the anxious orators and the ambitious delegates. Scarcely a delegate arrived who did not immediately set about surveying the ground preparatory to springing some pet scheme. But as Thursday evening dread nigh the center of attraction was found to be at the Congregational church—the field where the oratorical battle was to be fought. Seats had been selling rapidly all the week, and at 7.30 P. M. the large auditorium of the "Stone" church was crowded to its utmost capacity. It was 7.50 when the orators (eight in number), headed by President Borders, marched to the rostrum, and after music by the Iowa Conservatory Orchestra and the invocation by President Gates, of Iowa College, the cannonading began. Mr. Ed. H. Hughes, of Ohio, was the first to take the stand, and the testimony which he gave upon the "Philosophy of Inequality," was convincing and to the point. One man in the audience at least seemed to think that Iowa's chance against Mr. Hughes was slim for five minutes after the first onset; he (a student of Drake College) fainted away and was carried out on a stretcher. Slightly disturbed by this commotion Mr. Hughes extemporized for a sentence or two until he again struck the track. From this on he "kept in the middle of the road." His delivery was characterized by an easy yet forcible manner and he seemed perfectly at ease before the audience—an accomplishment which he has acquired by several years experience in the ministry. His principal fault was a rather monotonous and ministerial expression. His production was exceptionally plain and logical. After having spoken about eighteen minutes Mr. Hughes left the stage amidst hearty applause from the audience.
Inter-State Contest.
It was the misfortune of Mr. H. Danforth Dickinson to follow such a strong opponent as the man from Ohio, for although possessed of a fine physique and good presence it soon became evident that the man from Minnesota, even with the theme of "Bismarck and German Unity," was not the coming man. His voice was tremulous and unsteady; his gesture was slow and lacking in force. His style was considerably affected, and he ended his apt delineation of an eminent character with a tragical act contrasting him with Napoleon.
Iowa's man, Mr. O. R. Patrick, with "Luther before the Diet of Worms" as a subject, entertained the audience for about fifteen minutes with a rather dramatic production, which he rendered in a declamatory style. He was profuse in gesture. He held the very closest attention of the audience, but this was due rather to curiosity as to what strange freak was to come next than to the interest aroused by true oratory. Mr. Patrick was warmly applauded by the Iowans.
was much enjoyed and elicited an encore.
The first trio having done, a solo by Prof. Jay, of the Iowa Conservatory,
Next came Mr. A. V. House, of Nebraska, an old campaigner—having taken part in the contest four years ago—and although he had unfortunately selected a 'rather threadbare subject, viz.; "Home Rule in Ireland," yet by a lively, energetic delivery he woke up the judges long enough for them to chalk him down next to Brewster, and we consider that pretty good. Mr. House's arrangement for climaxes was especially noticeable.
The contest gradually waxed warmer and two minutes after Mr. Blaisdell, of Wisconsin, took the platform and began on "Riot and Revolution," it occurred to the most sanguine that neither Ohio nor Kansas would have a walk away. His style was tragical and overdrawn, but the judges seemed to agree that he was entitled to either first or second on thought and composition. He received grade one from two of them and grade two from the third.
It was probably natural that a Kansas man should fail to do Mr. Blaisdell justice in the applause which followed his speech when he remembered that his hope was centered in Mr. A. W. Brewster, the next speaker, and by the way, the most natural speaker who appeared that evening. This was admitted by most everyone and no one questioned the fact that in point of a strong oratorical voice he overshadowed all.
He was almost the on'y speaker who had so overcome all elocutionary training as to appear perfectly natural and unrestrained. The Pulse speaks of his efforts as follows: "Washburn sent Mr. Brewster to carry off the palm for Kansas, and he made a noble effort to comply with the wish of his constituency. His subject was 'Progress and its Agencies.' A glance at the tabulated markings will show that "Progress and its Agencies" stood well in both sets of markings. Mr. Brewster's chief characteristic was originality—not a bad fault certainly. He had something to say, and he said it in his own way. To be sure he did not gain a high place, but what was just as good, he gained many friends by his earnest way of putting things."
All were at this point mentally refreshed and rested by a musical number. The Ladies Quartette of Iowa College appeared upon the platform, and if Kansans, who had heard the Ladies Quartet of Baker, had any misgivings as to the promised entertainment, they were most agreeably disappointed, for this part of the program was very much enjoyed by all.
The next speaker of the evening was Mr. F. W. Wheeler, of Illinois, who probably gave evidence of more elocutionary training than any of his competitors, but his was a case in which even the best of training did not have the desired effect. His manner was cold and his gestures stereotyped.
The eighth and last speaker, Mr. James W. Wilkerson of Indiana, made a fine effort in support of his theme of "National Unity." His was probably the only production of the evening which dealt with live political issues, and in consequence, notwithstanding the fact that the audience had listened to the former speakers for fully three hours, he held the undivided attention of all for twenty minutes longer, and when he had done it was whispered around quite generally that J. W. Wilkerson was the coming man.
The judges, however, were not of that mind for their report which came in about thirty-five minutes later awarded places to the states represented as follows: Ed H. Hughes of Ohio, 1st; Wisconsin, 2nd; Indiana, 3rd; Kansas, 4th; Nebraska, 5th; Illinois, 6th; Iowa, 7th; and Minnesota, 8th.
A storm of applause greeted this announcement, for it was considered by the majority to be about as near justice as any set of judges usually approach.
This ended the Sixteenth InterState Oratorical Contest, and by all who had heard others it was said to rank well up with the best of them. Although Kansas did not reach the 1st trio, yet there can be no doubt but that Brewster did honor to himself and his state.
CONVENTION AND BANQUET.
An account of the week at Grinnell would be far from complete without at least a few notes on the banquet and the convention. Not to be found wanting in any particular the students of Grinnell had made elaborate arrangements for an elegant banquet, which took place immediately after the contest. It was an enjoyable occasion.
The late hour of the banquet served one purpose at least, viz: it enabled the scheming delegate, ever on the alert for his man, to catch his victim in a good humor—clinch the combination, and by keeping him up the rest of the night eliminate the possibility of reconsideration by "sleeping upon" the question.
The next morning was the time set for the convention, and it is needless to say that before that time came our Kansas delegation had a winning combination formed, which would place a Kansas and a K. S. U. man at the head of the ticket. There may have been a little fillibustering, scheming and "working" done, but when the vote was announced the following were declared the officers elect: G. M. Culver, Kansas State University, President; D. R. Kinder, University of Illinois, Vice President; G. W. Allen, Ohio Wesleyan University, Secretary and Treasurer. After the adoption of some important amendments to the Constitution, in as much as the convention had been in session for about seven hours without a single intermission, it occurred to the delegates that the inner man was suffering and an adjournment sine die was the next order.
If there is any possible way by which the windows of the main University building can be prevented from keeping up such an incessant rattling whenever the wind blows we would suggest that the preventive be applied. This should certainly be attended to in the chapel some time before commencement. As the wind has blown for several days a speaker could not make himself heard in the chapel even though he had a voice equal in volume to that of the proverbial Methodist clergyman.

The Philosophy of Inequality
BY MARY UNDERSTATE GRATON.
PRIIZE INTER-STATE QUESTION. By Eo H. Heures, Westport University, Ohio. 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 laws often leads to a false classification. Inherent law has been declared legalized custom and captious minds have clamored for its annulment. 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 laws of inequality.
Social conditions are the prolific source of rebellion against imparity. Wildows' 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.
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 inequality. Shrubs, trees; bills, 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 includes 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 indulgence 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 innate 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 redistribution. 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 the division of wealth? Is it the fancied ignominy of poverty that has stirred hearts to their deptus and incited the pronunciation of this view? Or is it malicious envy that overcame the instincts of the nobler self and demanded wealth that has been gained by the sweat of others' brows? Whatever motive, the result is invariably the same. Although these pretended reforms have been rendered attractive by rhetorical 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 imagination 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 plow the waves of the dark and dreary social sea.
We study mankind by comparison and 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 Englishman, the witty Irishman and the honest Scotchman—all have contributed to the composition of the national character. Every American audience is a world in 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 requirements. 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 the another, the genius for invention or handiwork. Whence arise this state of inequality? Equalize conditions, it is said, and you equalize character. The answer is condition is rather the product of character. The true, divine philosophy of inequality is found in the fact that varieties of opportunity for individual activity and the interaction of diversified talents supply the only conditions under which human progress 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 greatest 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 exciter 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 luster of renown. No heart would thrill under the commanding influence of any historic character. Providence being merely general, there could be no man 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 imperiled.
"When the weak mountain trembles from on high, 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 conqueror, 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 "Eutopia" 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, not 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—
"To thine own self be true,
And it must follow as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
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 Lang. 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 Herodotus against the arguments of Prof. Sayce, by whom the good faith of Herodotus is impugned. He takes up Sayce's argument 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 Mr. 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 an 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 unfinished condition on that side argues that that side was hidden from view. Mr. Overbeck thinks she must be restored in this way, holding up the shield with her left hand and her drapery with her right. Prof. Heydemann of Halle lately has proposed a restoration with an apple in her left hand and a trophy to her right. But this combines two ideas which do not belong together. Hence Overbeck's restoration is probably correct.
Miss Hunnecut spoke of a Greek parallel of Washington—Timonleon of Corrinth. 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 Corrinth to help 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 Corrinth, 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.
THE business men of the city are responding to the committee on field day prize with even more liberality than was expected. If the students do their share prizes of importance are now assured for every contest. Every man in the University who is at all proficient in any sport should practice up and be prepared to help the thing along as well as cover himself all over with glory. We can tell you now that this is going to be the most successful field day that K. S. U. has ever had. It will be some credit to be a victor in any one of the sports.

Dear Sis—In April, 1858, USS Osprey, September 14, notice that my ordination examination would be in a fortnight. I had only ten (10) days in which to prepare for the Exam. I should recommend a year's preparation in the case of any one so utterly ruthless that he was not strengthened my natural memory that I was able to remember and give the gast of any book after reading it once. I therefore read Lightfoot, Proctor, Mosehim, & acc., once, and was successful in every test. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.
Faithfully yours.

(From Vol, I.
Till they were disgusted beyond all measure.
There was a man who went to school
And though he wasn't quite a fool,
Was a great crank and a trifle lazy
Yet, all the girls thought him a daisy.
He was a minister by trade,
(Though only in the Junior grade)
And preached to the students at his lei

Till they were illiterate.

A schedule of the work in Prof. Blackmar's department has been posted on Prof. Canfield's bulletin board. Each of the chairs created by the division of Prof. Canfield's work, now offers an unusually attractive major course.
We have the champion ball team of Kansas and the champion tennis player of the state, and if the facts were known we probably have champions in many other field day sports. It should be a matter of college pride to see that the best we can do is done on field day.
THE Senior party and Junior picnic suggest the intense class feelings which exists in many American colleges. While we should very much dislike to see class spirits and rivalry amount to bitterness as they do in many places, it nevertheless does seem that all the classes might profitably be organized and might hold at least once a year some entertainment which would bring them all together. Doubtless there are many Freshmen and some Sophomores at present in school who have never even met each other. While more class spirit could
not entirely remedy this fault, it would do much toward it.
University Fees.
The Board of Regents have decided that under the Moody bill no fees for instruction can be charged after the present year. The bill provides that admission into the University shall be free to all the inhabitants of the state, but a sufficient fee shall be charged non-resident applicants. That it was the intention of the bill to abolish all tuition fees is well known, though that the wording of the bill necessarily forbids the charging of fees is by no means clear. But the Board of Regents, however, has decided that the spirit of the bill must be observed, and tuition fees have accordingly been stricken off in the case of all Kansas students.
Such action leaves the department of art and music without support. The last legislature made an appropriation of $600 for the executive and clerical work of the department of music, with the understanding, we presume, that the balance of the salary would be drawn from the fees of the students. But the regents decide that no fees can be collected, thus raising the very important question of the source from which the financial support of this department shall be derived. The University cannot, without great injury to itself, afford to abolish the department of music. To do so would be not only to reduce the enrollment nearly one-sixth, but also to take a line of work which has proved of immense advantage to the institution in attracting students. In view of the speedy abolition of the preparatory department, the University must face for a number of years a decreasing student attendance; it would not seem to be good policy to still further reduce the numerical showing by cutting off a prosperous department now well established.
In the past few years there have not been wanting those who have been ready to make sharp attacks on the University because of the scant facilities and accommodations here affered to young women; yet a former regent publicly stated in University hall that it was especially for the young women of the state that the department of music had been established. If this department be cut off, the result can be easily foretold.
There would seem to be but one business-like method of meeting the difficulty; and that is to make sufficient appropriation from the funds of the institution to carry on the work of the music department. If by law the students may not be charged fees, then the University should meet the emergency by making sufficient appropriation to maintain the work, or else abolish the department; and whatever else is done or not done, the people of Lawrence and the state will not consent to have this particular line of University work cut off. —Tribune.
Who has in charge the selection of men for the field day "Tug of War?" This will be one of the most exciting contexts in the whole lists of sports if proper care is taken to select the right men and give them training enough so that they can work together. At Harvard the men are chosen for the class "Tug of War" at least
six weeks before the time when the contest will occur, and are placed in special training. The fraternities in K. S. U. should begin to select their men and some barb should take it upon himself to see that a team of non-fraternity men is chosen who will do the cause justice. Hickey come to the front.
Sun-Flowers.
Do not think, amiable reader, when you glance at the subject above, that it means a formal disquisition on the last year's "Sun-Flower" of K. S. U. Chose flowers are perennial and have asserted their immortality by rubbing against Shakespeare on the library shelf. Sun-flowers such as skirt the oads and by ways; sun-flowers that make the farmer boy sweat in a frumentess endeavor to drive them from the corn field; sun-flowers that drink in the malaria and spread a smile over the features of "Sunny Kansas"—these are the sun-flowers to which the subject refers. There is a pretty mythological story relative to the origin of the sun-flower. Did you ever near it, reader? You didn't! Then isten. Clytia was a beautiful golden haired damsel who fell violently in love with Apollo, the sun. Clytia was mortal; Apollo was immortal and rejected the advancements of an inferior. Poor Clytia became so infatuated she could not take her eyes from Apollo. She watched him as he rose in the morning, she watched him mount the sky—all day she watched him. At last she became rooted to the spot. Her body gradually assumed the form of the sun-flower stalk and her face and golden tresses gradually merged into a nodding flower. We can see why the sun-flower always follows the course of the sun. On even the hottest days there is a juice exudes from the stalk, moistening the leaves. This juice is nothing more than the tears of Clytia. Ye student of Botany, pluck a sunflower this fall, think of its origin, press it well, and add it to thy herbarium.
No Class Day.
For the past few days the Seniors have been considering the advisability of dispensing with the regular role of class day exercises.
It has been the desire of the class to substitute some other entertainment for the regular "batch" of orations etc. which are usually ground out on the ordinary Class Day, and this the class of '89 propose to do. With this idea in view the class met on last Wednesday and decided to abolish the regular Class day and endeavor to make it a day of social enjoyment instead of devoting it so exercises so allied to the commencement day.
There are many points in favor of this change and it is surely a step which will reflect much credit on the class of '89.
ONE of two things is true. Either final examinations in the University should be abolished or else compulsory attendance at recitations should be abolished. We think it is safe to say that no Professor holds a chair in the University who cannot tell whether a student who recites to him every day is or is not worthy of being credited with his work without going through the farce of an examination. If such a professor does hold a chair he ought not to hold it. If, as is the case at Cornell and many other eastern schools, attendance at recitations was not compulsory, examinations would have a use and their perpetration upon students would be excusable, which cannot be the case while compulsory attendance is required.
Reading.
If any one can tell how the writer happened to stumble on this subject he can tell more about it than the writer himself. Having stumbled on the subject, however, the writer intends to stumble all over it. Hence, please open your mouth and take the dose good naturelly; and if the aforesaid dose should happily destroy some of those malarial germs of ill humor, count it salutary. To use new and original quotation, "Reading maketh a full man." This accounts for that exuberance of spirits sometimes manifested on festive occasions and explains to the mind of the writer why it is that the sidewalk is not wide enough for some people—they are too full of reading. George Washington, the paternal father of his country, was however, not very fond of reading. Do you have an idea that he cared about doubling up his little frame over some huge folio and growing pale and wan whilst his companions were participating in the many sports? No! George wasn't that kind of a fellow. He was full of moral rectitude and sound judgement and loved the fresh air. At an early age he took his tape measure and went out surveying. He mixed with the Indians and slept on a pallet or straw. But all this hasn't anything to do with reading.
Some people think Patrick Henry (that fellow who had all those "treasons" hurled at him in the house of Burghesses) was nothing but a green country lanky at that time. That's where some people are fooled. Patrick Henry was a well read fellow and was admitted to the bar after studying only six weeks. What if he did appear a little green at the time; 'green wood makes the hottest fire,' and those fellows who listened to his famous speech weren't particularly desirous of again warming their resentment at the hearth of his eloquence.
Then, too, some people think because Bobby Burns was an Ayrshire farmer and did not graduate at Oxford or Cambridge, that his knowledge must necessarily have been limited. Of course his knowledge was limited, but not as much as they would have us believe. They attribute all his success as a poet, simply to his genius. These people have a very indefinite idea of what genius is. Does any one believe that the "Cotters Saturday night" is from the pen of an inspired but ignorant writer? No, Bobby Burns, with all his "John Barleycorns" and "lasses, O" was well read and an enthusiastic student of literature.
There is a variety of readers. Some people "dote" on blood and thunder stories and feed their imaginations on these till it becomes gorged and their little heads become giddy. Beware, young man! Better be a democrat than a reader of dime novels. The democrats have a chance
for presidency next term and you never will have.
Another class of people devote all their spare time to the reading of newspapers. They begin on the front page and read the whole paper through—Oklahoma specials, hog reports, advertisements, everything. Having perused the entire paper they lay back in their chair, put their feet on the table, long for the next copy, and fall off into a light doze.
Although a person may be the possessor of a fine education—education as far as study in a college course is concerned—yet if he does not add much solid reading to this, he has only built him a house and left it without ornament. Desultory reading, although one may read the best of authors, only leads to a jumble of ideas and a confusion of facts. Systematic reading is what counts. "Education, says Loche, begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him." Those of you who have been reading this little article will notice that you have finished it.
Pic Nic.
One of the most delightful social events of the year was given last Saturday eve., by Misses Lou and Anna Kenyon and Fullerton. As this was almost the first pic-nic of the summer it was hailed by all as an occasion for having a good time, and none seem to have been disappointed. About 4 o'clock in the evening the park was filled with the gay and the merry, each one pursuing his favorite phantom. Tennis, and all manner of pleasant social amusements, were indulged in. An elegant supper was served later on in the evening, which was certainly a credit to the young ladies who provided it. Altogether the occasion will be long remembered by those who had the good fortune to be present. Those present were,
Misses Crotty, Manley, Parker, Henshaw, Buckingham, Mills, Smullin, Kimball, Williams, Fullerton, McKinnon, Springer, Miller, White, McCague, Howe, Lockwood, Price, Morris, Simpson, Nelson, Cocheran, Lyons, Clark, Johnson, Franklin, Powers, and Hair.
Messrs. Smith, Kennyon, Manning, Bear, Brown, Poehler, Manley, Killworth, Franklin, Powers, McKinnon, Ellison, Finch, Davis, Higgins, Riddle, Blaker, Reed, Barnes, Sullivan, Morris, Caywood, Burney, Jacobs, Merrill, Hackett, Culver, Halsted, McCague, Simpson, Fullerton, Watson.
WHEN we reflect upon the result of certain elections this year we can but conclude that you have attempted a revised version of Caesars Commentaries. And this conclusion especially impresses itself upon us when we note that you abolished the hat speech in the Senior class when you found out that you could not elect your man in the Junior class. Look at the text again and then consider the means used to defeat a neutral candidate, and a lady at that, and then go and kick yourselves.

Junior Picnic.
The long looked for, the much talked of, the eagerly awaited Junior picnic arrived on schedule time last Saturday afternoon. At about three o'clock three large wagons bearing the noble class of '90—not 90 members, but the year 1890—started for the famous picnic ground near Eudora. Arriving at the park, hammocks were soon swung, tennis courts laid out, and the Junior was soon having a picnic all around. There was no Senior to turn off the gas, no envious Sophomore or verdant Freshman to spoil his blissful pleasure. Supper, which had been prepared by the Junior girls, was served upon the pavilion, and if the boys are to be believed, language cannot describe its delicuousness. W. A. White, the class poet, gave one of his Riley poems, which was of course first class. After the tables had been cleared away dancing was indulged in, to the inspiring music of the Mandolin club. Everyone was compelled to dance. The goody-good as well as the badly-bad. The Virginia Reel seemed to be the favorite and the most amusing dance of the evening. At nine o'clock the procession started home, and the good people from Eudora to Lawrence can bear witness to the musical voices and the rare collection of college songs which were left vibrating on the wild night air. They arrived home before the hour of twelve was sounded and the great and long-to-be-remembered picnic was a thing of the past.
All week the Junior has been declaiming about class spirit, burdening the ears of his somewhat jealous fellow-student as to what a splendid time they had. It must have been somewhat amusing to have seen Mr. ——and Mr. ——embracing each other, Mr. X and Miss L. promenading down the lovers walk, and Mr. G. and Mr. W. laughing at each others jokes, but such is the holy and harmonizing influence of a class picnic. Undoubtedly the junior picnic was a great success. Other classes should follow suit. Those present were, Misses Bartell, Dunn, Birr, Fellows, Franklin, Howland, Johnston, Sutliff, Weller, Goodell, Hair, Grabe and Reasoner. Messrs. Culver, Brewster, Mushrush, Hill, Reynolds, McFarland, Slosson, Pickering, Burney, Short, Henshaw, Armstrong, Watsot, White, and Bear.
Orophilian's program for the first meeting next September has been posted. It promises to be very interesting to both old and new students. Addresses will be made by E. L Ackley on "Our University;" by H. F. Bear on "Orophilian;" by C. E. Street on "College Spirit;" by G. O. Virtue on "College Habits." The question, Resolved, That a collegiate education enhances the chances of a financial success in life, will be debated by H. E. Copper and W. W. Brown on the affirmative; and by R. D. O'Leary and S. A. Miller on the negative.
Exchange Notes.
We acknowledge the receipt of the Olive Leaf this week, published by the Senior class of the Los Angeles college. The Olive Leaf is a very interesting college journal and presents a very neat appearance.
The Elite Journal comes to our table this week. The Journal is published weekly by the students of the Illinois Wesleyan University and is well deserving of the high place it holds in college journalism. We hope the Journal will be a regular visitor in the future.
A plan is on foot to form a southern Inter-state Oratorical Association.
At the University of Missouri a portion of the time set apart for chapel exercises is devoted to the singing of national airs by the whole body of students.
At the University of Virginia when a student has finished any one branch of study, as Latin, Greek or Mathematics, he is issued a certificate; and when he has merited and secured seven such certificates he is entitled to a diploma or a degree. The same plan has been recommended for the University of Missouri.
The last number of the Olive Leaf contains a good article entitled, "Was Bacon the author of Shakespeare's Plays."
The colleges represented in the Missouri Inter-collegiate Oratorical Association are Missouri State University, William Jewell College and Central and Westminster Colleges.
The Elite Journal seems to be dissatisfied with the work done at the editors convention held at Grinnell, Iowa. The chief objection seems to be the article in the constitution which provides that the annual convention shall be held on the day after the inter-state contest. The Journal claims that this is making the press association play second fiddle to the oratorical association. We do not see that there is any argument in such an objection, and know of no better time to hold the convention than the time appointed.
The following college journals now receiving the Times, will please exchange: The College Magazine, The Monthly, The Texas University, The Gem, The Northwestern, The Oberlin Review, The Pennsylvanian, Lehigh Burr, Cornell Era, College Times, The Coup d'Eat, The College Mercury, The Volante, Hamilton College Monthly, Southern Collegian, The Aegis, The Industrialist, The De Pau Adz, The Earhamite, The Oak, Lily and Ivy, The Atlantis, The Delphic, and The Muhlenberg. Many of the foregoing have been receiving the Times for several months, and we hope they will show us the courtesy of placing the Times on their exchange list; if not, we will be constrained to cancel the names of all such publications from our exchange list.
The authorities of Princeton have made Dr. McCosh a life pension, as a testimonial, for his work in behalf of the college.
Pres. Dwight's late report shows that Yale received $750,000 from bequests and donations during the past year.

It is claimed that the first female college in the world was built in Georgia.
A test is to be made at the Ohio State University where students were expelled for non-attendance at chapel. It is held under the "bill of rights" that no State institution can compel attendance at any religious exercises. The legislature appointed a committee to investigate.
The University of Pennsylvania will erect the largest dormitory in the United States. It will cost $125,000.
It is estimated that in England one man in every five hundred gets an education, and in this country one in every two hundred.

"She's enjoying a smacking breeze."
After holding the office for seventeen years, President Robinson, of Brown University, has resigned.
The voluntary system of chapel attendance at Yale has proved a failure.
The Yale faculty have decided not to accept the schedule of base-ball games unless a guaranice is given that tqure will be no demonstration until the close of the series.
An inter-collegiate athletic association has been organized among Dakota colleges. A contest will be held at Sioux Falls in May.

That whoever perpetrated that theme on "love" in the Senior English class, is lying very low just now.
That none of the Juniors are anxious to see H. M. Bear, Genl. Passenger and Ticket Agent of the late lamented Junior picnic.
That those of the "trooly good" who are roaming about the halls with little slips of paper asking odd questions about ones age, spiritual prospects and physical condition, are very much of a chestnut.
That it is now the thing to work your much abused sire to the tune of an extra remittance in order to be able to leave town by rail.

That each individual Senior is having seven very frisky and well developed night mares each week on account of that five dollars graduating fee and that there are mutterings of a storm over the same.
Law.
A committee was appointed by the Seniors to confer with the committee of the Alumni and make arrangements for a social dinner after commencement.
Most of the Seniors attended court to see that strict justice be done to the colored gentlemen.
Markley will go next Saturday to defend against the collection of a rate.
In last Sunday morning's Journal there appeared an original poem read by Prof. D. H. Robinson before the "Old and New" club at the Eldridge House May 4th. From it we clip the following beautiful selection:
OLD AND NEW.
- * * * * * * * * * * * *
Mystic circle, all embracing,
Reaching far as thought can go,
Present, past, and future tracing,
Seeking wisdom high and low,
All that finite mind can know.
The old is heir of all the ages,
Wisest child of father time;—
Wrought for him the heroes, sages,
Martyrs, wits of some clime.
Toiled and died a death sublime.
The new will come in brighter glory,
Swift will come on winged years,
Come to us and tell its story,
Bringing rapture, joys and tears,
Blessed hopes, and bitter tears.
Complete the mystic circle now,—
Wismod joined with beauty rare,
Apollo's locks and Juno's brow,
Heavenly wisdom, queenly air,—
Olympic court was not more fair.
This charmed circle none may sever;
All who enter must abide;
Ours once, you are ours forever,
Watson'e may you bethee,
Old and New you must abide.
Travel far then, widely roam,
Do the deed that's nobely done,
In our hearts you're still at home;—
A ray may through creation run,—
Its home is still within the sun.

Science Club.
The fourth annual meeting of the Science Club will be held in the lecture room at Snow Hall this afternoon and evening. The following program will be rendered :
AFTERNOON SESSION.—2:30 P.M.
Some of the professors seem to think that the preparatory students are not deserving of the same respect as those in the higher classes. By "some" I wish to be understood as meaning a very few, for most of the professors know how to deport themselves towards the students with common civility. As a body the students of the University are poor but earnest young men and women, who come here for the purpose of study and to make the best possible use of their time; and for a professor to stand up before a class of such students and blandly inform them that nine tenths of them haven't brains enough to know black from white is more presumption than we would attribute to the average college professor. We have in mind one or two professors, who think it smart to amuse the rest of the class at the ex-

Dr. Howland spoke on the territorial acquisitions of the United States. The greatest real estate transaction the world ever saw was the Louisiana purchase. In making that bargain President Jefferson proved himself a far-seeing speculator and a wise statesman, and to him belongs the honor of having done the greatest act among all that have been achieved by individual efforts in the history of our country, not forgetting Lincoln's horic measures in making this statement. The northeastern boundary ought to have been extended to the St. Lawrences; it would have made such a fine natural boundary. The older among my hearers—xcluding, of course, the ladies—will undoubtedly remember the watchword, "54, 50 or fight." Texas really annexed itself, but then "Barkis was willin," and the lone star joined its brilliant sisters.

CLARA LOUISE KELLOGG.
Smedley is the man to call on for baths.
Miss Kellog came to her work divinely attuned. Her natural advantages were many and large. She possessed that nature which could not only carol but could conquer. She was gifted with a musical apprehension which even in infancy was looked upon as something marvelous. Her ear was not merely superior to many others in its delicacy, it was absolutely unlike any other in its unerring fidelity to a positive standard of purity and pitch. It could designate and analyze all the subdivisions of the gamut before the child could read the notes. She seemed to have been born with a positive and not a relative sense of tone, and the fortunate advantage of teh purest associations and the best training during childhood, developed and stengthened it.
This is well worth mentioning, because it is the basis of that subsequent purity and accuracy of extension that have been the admiration of masters and composers in the two hemispheres, and it explains the somewhat remarkable assertion made by one of the best musicians in America, to the effect that Miss Kellogg was the only vocalist in the country who never, under any circumstances, sang out of tune.
To this gift of an ear, so exquisitely sensitive that it could detect the faintest departure from the pitch, was added a vocal function of very remarkable quality and power.
It is said that Miss Kellogg sang before she could talk; of this we know nothing; but it is very certain that when, with the growth of intelligence, she began to sing so intelligibly it was with a voice unlike any other we have heard, in its delicious timbre, its remarkable compass, its even quality, and its generous winning power. As was remarked_by one of our poets "There was in it the cintillant gleams of the northern borealis and the quivering warmth of southern mid-nights."

Dear Sis-In April 1887, I sent a notice to that my ordination examiner that I should read it before a fortnight. I had only ten (10) days in which to prepare for the Exam. I should recommend a year's preparation in the one of any one so afterity, or I would not be able to strengthen my natural memory that I was able to remember and give the gist of any book after reading it once. Therefore read Lightfoot, Proctor, O'Connor, and Sylvester in order to be successful in every one of the nine papers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.

There has not been so much enthusiasm in any undertaking this year as there now is in the Field-day contest. All who can should make it a point to enter for one thing or another, even if the chances of winning are not the best.
A young man who goes to the University, a young lady who does not, a party of screenaders, a house on Kentucky street, waltzing, put these all together and you will have a scene that occurred one night last week.
The Seniors have a new program to propose for Class Day. All the collegiate and special department classes will participate.Hereafter that day will not be exclusively for the Seniors, but all class-men will play their part. In order that this plan may be successful, it will be necessary for all the classes to meet and appoint a committee on arrangements. This should be done at once.
Professor in Logic (to Sophomore reciting)—You don't seem quite clear upon that point.
Soph.—Well, that is what the author says, anyway.
Prof —But I don't want the author; I want you.
"Parphumry and sich" at Raymond & Dick's.
Student (glumly)—Well, I guess you've got me.
We notice by the "Argo" that some change is to be made in the faculty of Washburn for the coming year. Just what these changes will be the Argo does not state. It is sufficient for Washburn to hope that the faculty, as it may be changed will be one that will continue to pursue the same policy which has already made Washburn second to none but the State University among the colleges of Kansas.
It is with mingled feelings of pain and joy that we contemplate the competition and its results between the University Times and Courier. We rejoice at the manifest success of the Times and regret the unmistakable waning of the Courier. The latter must "get a move" on itself or be relegated to oblivion.—Washburn Reporter. Thanks!
Have you a spot on those best pants, to come off before commencement? Get you quickly to Raymond & Dick's for the stuff to make them spotless.
The "spring poet" in his annual visit has entirely overlooked the K. W. U., somewhat sensitive, the editor wrote him a note asking to know the why and wherefore of this slight and received the following reply.
I did not mean to pass you o'er
In dealing out my varnel lore,
And for this I shall make amends.
Next spring when in my yearly round,
the
State University, May 1st 1889.
I will weave a poem deep profound,
I'll make it perfect in its metre,
And than all others by far sweeter:
And while I write I'll be right hearty,
And while I write I'm too right hearty,
And head it with "The Boat-Ride Party."
Very Cordially,
Kansas Spring Poet.

Southwestern Tennis Association.
The Spring Tournament of this association will be held at Excelsior Springs, Mo., on Tussey, Wednesday and Thursday, May 28th, 29th and 30th. All finals will be played on May 30th, Decoration Day. Preliminary sets will be best two in three, finals best three out of five. Regular Association clubs are entitled to one representative for the doubles, and one for the singles. The names of the delegates should be sent in to the Secreary as soon as possible.
A Tournament open to all players in the Southwest, not club delegates, will also be held. An entrance fee of two dollars for the doubles and one dollar for the singles will be charged. Players must send in their names immediately, so that the time of playing may be arranged. An excellent list of prizes will be awarded, and the association extends a hearty welcome to all tennis players, and promises its best efforts to insure a good time for those who attend.
Excelstar Springs is a beautiful summer resort about twenty-five miles from Kansas City, on the Northwestern Railway. Ample hotel accommodations at reduced rates have been secured. The round-trip fare from Kansas City to the Springs is $1.20—trains running at all hours of the day.

The Review election takes place next Monday. The Times hopes for the selection of a staff which will continue to guide that journal steadily onward in its upward course.
Ir is said that the Freshmen at Washburn have suddenly become devout and zealous in pursuit of divine truth. They have begun the study of the Greek testament.
GARFIELD University, at Wichita, will celebrate its first years work in the new building June 12th, commencement day. The graduating class in the different colleges comprise some ninety three students.
A Medical Department at the University is needed. Some are in favor of erecting an institution at Topeka, others at Kansas City Kansas, but in our opinion it should be at Lawrence. To be sure Kansas City Kansas and Topek hospitals would be of some worth to a department of this nature, but it would be a great deal better for all the Universities to be together. Paola Times.
It Is Third.
The vague rumor concerning the mistake in the casting up of grades in the late Inter State Contest which has been going the rounds the past few weeks has little foundation as far as altering the position of the Ohio man is concerned—but it has some significance when applied to the rank of Kansas. It is now generally admitted that Brewster was entitled to third place instead of fourth. The mistake was due to an oversight of the President and Secretary in summing up the grades. The correction places Ohio first, Indiana second and Kansas third. (We are only too glad to accept the correction brother Reporter.) Now remove a few of the inconsistences which appear in the marking of the judges and there might be justice, with Brewster ranked either first or second. How does it come that judges cannot be elected who can for the time being throw aside all local prejudice and render a fair decision free from any semblance of state pride?
It was surprising to note the unanimity with which each and every judge, chosen from a state represented in the contest, marked his representative first. Five out of the six judges in this contest come from states so represented and in each and every instance the contestant of the state from which there was a judge selected was ranked highest by that judge. Kansas had no judge, and if she had had, who knows but that he might have given way to the same pride and placed Brewster in the right hand corner? But we are satisfied. Our man made a noble effort—secured a position in the first trio and despite the partiality of the judges we do not complain.
There should be a new scheme for the selection of judges for the coming contests. It is very urgently demanded.
The Seniors have formulated a new plan for Class Day. It is somewhat similar to that of some eastern colleges and will be quite a new feature for K. S. U. For its success the co-operation of all the other classes in the University will be necessary. It will not be a day merely for the Seniors but for all Collegiates, Laws, and Pharmacists. Distinct class organizations will be required for the furtherance of the scheme and if properly carried out it will be of much interest to all. For further information call on any member of the Senior class.
The topic of the Bacchalaureate sermon to be preached by Rev. Dr. O. N. Tuttle, of Baltimore, Md. will be, "Christ-Life the object of our supreme endeavor." The topic of the oration before the Literary Societies by Rev. Dr. S. J. McPherson, of Chicago Illinois, will be the "Culture of Character." Both of these gentlemen are noted for their high scholarly attainments and are famous pulit orators.
The question is, when is Washburn's base ball team going to materialize? Unless an appearance is put in shortly we will claim the championship of Kansas colleges. Come on boys. Put up, or take to the woods.
A Regent's Opinion.
Hon. Charles S. Gleed one of the regents of the State University, was interviewed by a Topeka Capital reporter, the opinions he expressed appearing in that paper yesterday. We would be pleased to reproduce the entire interview, but space forbids, and we must content ourselves with a few of the many good things which Mr. Gleed said in the course of his remarks.
"The University" he said gets more respect and affection now than ever before and I am certain deserves more than it gets. It is in a remarkable 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 Univeasity among the number.
"Outside of Kansas, in educational circles, the University commands great respect. Harvard accepts its degrees—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 and to 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 physicist—particularly in the great modern field of electricity. Wilcox, of the Greek chair; Robinson, of the Latin chair; MacDonald, of the chair 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 other worthy men and women of the list are famous or getting famous rapidly
"The Moody law is not perfect, but it is good and can be made just right by the time it has been tried two years. The University will make progress under it. The abolition of the preparatory work, as provided by the Moody bill, has already resulted in the establishment of a first class high school in Lawrence for which a new building is about to be erected at an expense of $35,000. It can never be said again with the least truth that the University is a Lawrence school.
The most important addition to the faculty made recently is in the professor of History and Sociology. Frank W. Blackmar, of Baltimore. President Gilman and Prof. H.B. Adams of Johns Hopkins university, recommended him to Prof. Canfield in the very strongest terms, and Prof. Canfield in turn presented his name to the regents, saying that the recommendation of the gentleman named was enough for him. He is a California; has had large experience as a teacher; has done much important government work and is in every way a thorough scholar. He is married,
has two children, is a Republican and a Methodist. He is said to be a fine talker and writer.
"This change leaves Prof. Canfield the chair he has long desired—American History and Civics. This ought to be clearly understood by all. Prof. Canfield was asked to name particularly the work which he would like to retain, and to suggest any changes in the course that should be made to harmonize the work of the two new chairs that were to be created. A special committee of the regents went over the entire ground with him and together they elaborated the plan which the board has just adopted. Prof. Canfield's department will afford most unusual facilities for original investigation, broad reading and independent thought. Hereafter any student may devote fifteen hours a week for two consecutive years to this broad and fascinating field. Added to this are special courses in constitutional law, in public finance and banking, in international law and diplomacy, and in local law and administration."
"It is proposed to put no man in Chancellor Lippincott's place until his fitness is as nearly a certainty as the most thorough investigation can determine. I do not think the board has overlooked a single essential qualification in its ideal of a man who will be acceptable to the people of Kansas. It is believed by every member that the chancellorship is the most important office in the gift of the state—considering the power which a chancellor may exert on the rising generation as well as on those already risen. I am sure the feeling which some have expressed to me that ministers were not even to be considered for that place is not shared by any member of the board. The selection will be made because of demonstrated qualifications and not because of any particular previous calling. Many things have been said in print in favor of the selection of a man who has devoted his life to educational work. So far as my own views are concerned (and I think my associates are like minded) no man is more truly an educator than a minister of the right sort, one who views men and things in a truly broad and generous way and adds to the humanities a great learning and a great strength for doing. I cannot properly speak of any man who is being considered". —Tribune.
Ir is to be regretted that so many students, after having thoronght raining in the department of English, upon passing to recite in the other departments entirely ignore their Anglo Saxon training.
There seems to be the prevailing opinion on the part of these student's that no matter how mutilated and ungrammatical their language, so long as it conveys the thought, though often very obscurely, it is bound to be accepted by the professors. In most instances each professor's attention is entirely absorbed in his particular branch, and he cannot justly be expected to devote his time to the improvement of a students English. Hence, it oftens happens that with many professor's there is necessarily permitted an ill usage of English, such as would in no wise be tolerated
in the English department. But to say that there is a professor in the University who does not recognize and appreciate good English on the part of his students would be far from the truth.
If a student continues to use poor language while at school there certainly seems to be but little hope of his amending when thrown out upon the miscellaneous world. Yet he is sure to come in contact with educated people who will not fail to observe his conversational blunders, blunders which in many cases may count sadly against their author, although he may not keenly feel them as such at the time.
A man may be a profound philosopher, he may have made great strides in Science, literature and art, but after all, the world measures his scholarship by his ability to impart his knowledge to fellowmen with clearness and precision. And to be able to do this at the present day, in our country at least, a thorough command of English is indispensable.
The only effectual way for a student to acquire good usage of English is for him to become his own conscientious critic. He must ever be on his guard and strive to express his ideas in correct language even in the most common conversation.
Now that this departmentt seems destined to suffer a severe blow by the withdrawn of our worthy Professor Marsh, it devolves upon regents, faculty and students to rally together as one man and declare that English in our institution shall not be permitted to lag.
In the University Times of April 19 a list of 100 books most advantageous for one to read was given. Books from Shakespeare's Dramatic works to Gulliver's travels were mentioned but no hint was given that there was such a book as the Bible. We have heard of the tough character of the State University; we have heard good Methodist brethren—yea ministers thank the Lord that they had no representative in the State University but we had no idea that the state did not know of the existence of the Good Book. If you want a Bible for the library send down brother Reed. — Wesleyan Lance.
We had already read the Good Book and supposed that every body else had at least seen it and thought that sufficient recommendation; nevertheless we lay the blame of its omission to our typographer. To be sure our copy is considerably worn and we may have occasion to accept yout kind offer. As for the "tough character" of the University—we draw the line there, and are willing to compare records with any denominational institution in the state. For example, by a recent census, almost if not quite, half of our students are found to be members and regular attendants of some church—and they are not obliged to go either. As for the assertion of your "good Methodist brethren" and "yea ministers" who have sons of "well konwn character" to be educated, we agree that it would not be well for them to be allowed the least liberty or freedom of action and for all such the "reform schools" at Baker, Winfield and Salina are well adapted. K. S. U. has all she can do to provide means for the education of the moral and industrious young men and women of Kansas.

Scenes at the Bridge.
Owing to the rains out west recently, the rivers in Kansas took a mighty boom last week and swept over the skirting vegetation like a sudden night-mare. Rushing and pushing and foaming they came, angry at resistance, and taking everything which came within their scope. Entering those dwellings which were unfortunate enough to be situated in the bottom lands, the water drove out the inhabitants, and the little fishes played "hide and seek" in the deserted rooms. Saturday the bridge which spans the Kaw in the north part of the city was crowded with eager spectators. These were intent on watching the turbulent waters, which, black with accumulated debris rushed madly over the dam.
Looking up the river one could see huge logs coming slowly down the current, and the spectacle became more interesting, as passing under the bridge, these logs plunged lengthwise over the dam, into the leaping waves beyond. Sometimes it seemed as if a miniature thicket had been torn up and was being borne down the stream.
Interspersed with the trees and logs, was to be seen now and then an unlucky cow or hog which had succomed to the inevitable. Upon one large log which came floating serenely down the current, were sitting a rabbit and a chicken. They had formed a mutual admiration society amongst themselves and were enjoying the short period of life yet remaining to them. They came as far as the bridge, struck a pier, and then stopped to take water.
At the northwest end of the bridge stood a little frame house, over the threshold of which the water was peeping. A little pickaninny, sitting on the fence, was taking in the surroundings, while the household goods were being transferred to a safer spot. At the northeast end of the bridge, some "gemmen" of color were engaged in the laudable enterprise of catching drift wood. But with what a roar that black dirty water leaped and plunged over the dam, and how it fell back with an angry slump when it met resistance just beyond. The impeded current springing into the air sparkled in the sunlight, as it curled backwards in separate drops. A gentleman whose looks pleaded knowledge in the political sphere, quietly remarked as he gazed upon the river "that the Blue had just got in." At that time there were the precincts to hear from.
Since Saturday the waters have greatly subsided and if the heavens cease weeping, the river will soon assume its regular shallow medium.
What next will the Courrier howl about? Its criticism in last weeks issue of our policy of self-correction and criticism serves as an apology for having failed to do that which it criticises in others. Right or wrong just or unjust lid anyone ever know this conglomeration of conceit and egotism to turn the lights on its own inner self with any honest purpose of self improvement? This is not characteristic of such figure heads. They always have advice to give others but never heed it themselves. Two more weeks are given them in which to howl,—we are curious to see what it will be about.
Exchange Notes.
Conspicuous among the new arrivals this week is the College Transcript published by the Senior class of the Ohio Wesleyan University. The Transcript is carefully edited and presents a very neat appearance. However we think the Transcript would be more of a representative paper if a few of the editorial staff were selected from the lower classmian. We do not doubt the ability of the Senior class to conduct the college paper, but we do have some misgivings as to their ability to understand the wishes and needs of the rest of the student body. It is certainly a little presumptive in the Seniors to persume that all the brains of the University are to be found in their own ranks.
The Pensylvanian is a new arrival this week. We can find no fault with the Pensylvanian and are glad to be able to add such a valuable College Journal to our exchange list.
The Hesperian is the official organ of the Western Inter-Collegiate Press Association and is doing all it possibly can to make the association a success.
Harvard has refused to accept the challenge to row with Cornell this year.
Again the editor of the College Echoes arises in his wrath to defend his "friendly pun" this time assuring us that it is no longer a "friendly pun" but a "flendish pin." A wonderful transformation. We confess we were unable to see the point in the first version but the latter explanation makes it perfectly clear—that a pin has a point. However we still think it a little far fetched.
The Oberlin Review has succeeded in getting itself in the soup in attempting to bring a charge of plagiarism against E. C. Ritsher, of Beloit, who won the inter-state oratorical contest in 1886.
The colossal statue of William Penn, which is to surmount the tall tower of the new City Hall at Philadelphia, will be the largest bronze figure ever cast, standing thirty-seven feet in height. The model is completed, but there is no foundry in the United States where the casting can be done.
The total number of students enrolled at Ohio Wesleyan University is 972, of which 426 are in the collegiate department.
The legislature of the state of Ohio has passed a Compulsory Educational Bill. After January, 1890, all children under fourteen years of age will be compelled to attend school twenty weeks, in city districts, and sixteen weeks, in village and township districts.
At a recent meeting of the Harvard faculty, the following new regulation was adopted: "The Freshman class is placed under the special charge of a committee of the faculty, each member of which acts as adviser to a certain portion or the class. Every Freshman is required to submit his choice of studies to his adviser at or before the beginning of the year, and his work is to be carried on under the supervision of that officer. He may consult his advisor upon any topic relating to his college life.
Harvard has added a course in Electrical Engineering. The first three years will be devoted, as far as they treat of electricity, to giving the students a thorough acquaintance with electrical instruments and machines, with electric lightning, and with working on telegraphs and telephones. In the fourth year the men will take a course in trigonometric series and two courses in theoretic electricity. Besides, a thesis will be required. The Columbia faculty is also of the opinion that a call for courses in Electrical Engineering will soon be made.-Bates Student.
The Yale News pay each Senior editor from $250 to $275 a year.
The following from the Columbus Press: "There are at least fifty engaged couples among the students of the University and the Seminary at Delaware, and co-education is not allowed full sway there either." Wonder what it would be if it were allowed "full sway," universal bliss?
Mr. Ed H. Hughes, our inter-state orator, has received honors during the last few months enough to ruin most men. The repeated ovations upon his last return to Delaware were almost unprecedented. His greatest good fortune is the last—an offer which came by telegraph soon after he returned to his college. Mr. Morris Sharp, a wealthy Ohio man who will be remembered as a prominent political figure, agrees to pay Mr. Hughes' expenses for three years at any theological seminary which he may wish to attend. Mr. Hughes graduates from the Ohio Wesleyan University next month and will begin his theological course at Boston next fall.—Pulse.
This is the reward of true worth.
A Bad Break.
We were seated in the hammock ;
It was sometime after dark ;
And the silence grew longer
After each subdued remark.
With her head upon my shoulder,
And my arms about her close,
Soon I whispered, growing bolder,
"Do you love me darling Rose?"
With her accents low to equal
All my heart had dared to hope?
Ah! I never knew the sequel
For her brother cut the rope!
While our government is paying off its outstanding indebtedness at the rate of more than $100,000,000 a year, other governments are borrowing money to meet current necessities. France and Italy are each borrowing, $200,000,000, Austria-Hungary-65,000,000, and Russia 40,000,000. No government can make a showing equal to that of the United States.
Too bad, University Courier that you could not think of anything original to say about us but had to copy from the Coup d'Etat. —Hesperian.
Yes it is 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.
Chauncey M. Depew will deliver the commencement oration at Yale Law School.
The Science Club Annual. Few people anticipate the great influence the Science Club has had in turning the attention of the students towards true University work. During the past year, meetings have been held every two weeks, at which from three to five papers have been presented on scientific subjects apart from the regular class work. No attempt has been made to make the papers "popular" at the expense of scientific accuracy, yet the meetings have been well attended by the students of all departments. 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 Prof. Murphy, and consisted of notes on the influence of various kinds of paper on blue prints, and the mathematical calculation of the form columns of uniform strength and of maximum bending moment in beams and arch-ribs.
Prof. Blake followed and gave the result of his investigation to ascertain the corrections for Thomson's calorimeter, which has been used in testing Kansas coals.
The second paper was by V. L. Kellogg on the Lanidae, making an addition of 335 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.
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 labor 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 the mechanical action of the 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 afternoon was by Prof. Bailey and W. B. Hilton, showing that the effects of some acids was to change calomel into carrosine sublimate.
In the evenig session E. E. Slosson reported a case of polydactism, and Geo. F. Weida read a paper on the purity of commercial potash and soda.
Prof. Bailey follow 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.Fraklin'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 last paper was by Prof. Sayre and Miss B. L. Hill, of the Pharmacy department, on the analysis of the pawpaw. A remarkabke essential oil was produced from the pawpaw seeds which was exhibited to the club.
The room was then darkened and Mr. V. L. Kellogg presented the results of his work in the past two or three years in the mollophaga. In his study of these insects which our readers will know better perhaps by the name bird lice,Mr.Kellogg has made some discoveries which will create a sensation when they are made known to the scientific world.
Two papers were presented by Prof. Snow, one givig the discovery of the mode of respiration in Salamanders, and the curve mean temperature for twenty-one years at Lawrece.
They Do Say.
That Kellogg is enamored of Mollie Phagan.
That some of K. S. U.'s best waltzers will plow some during vacation.
That Jacobs will carry a pillow and silk parasol while "roughing" it in the mountains.
That it is interesting to be near White when he is asked when the Annual is coming out.
That Deverell is up on the "Gipsy Baron" waltz and takes it in large doses.
That Brooks ran all over town Monday looking for the calliope.
That some of the boys are sampling hard tack preparing their stomachs for the Colorado jaunt.
That one of our bloods is in a quandry because his trunk will not go out of a second story window and his board bill groweth apace.
That some of the Seniors ate strawberries with their knives at the Chancellors reception.
That Topeka juvenile circles will soon be made happy by the return of the cohorts of Mushrush to the bosoms of their mammas.
That the city council of Atchison have ordered the telephone wires raised and the awnings taken down preparatory to the return of their beerless Entre Nous.
I wooed a maiden young and sweet,
In mid-Lent'sdull part;
I threw myself at her dear feet,
And asked her for her heart.
She smiled and arched her lovely brow
And said quite innocent;
"I cannot give my heart just now,
Because, you see 'tis. *Lead*."
'Twas Lent.

Dear Sir—In April, 1885, I submit, in September, 1888, a notice that my ordination examination would be needed in fortnight. I had only ten (10) days in which to prepare for the Exam. I should recommend a book of any one so utterly or unprepared as I was; but you would strengthen my natural memory that I was able to remember and give the gist of any foot书 after readening it, before read Lightfoot, Proctor, Harold wrote, whose name, once, and was successful in every one of the nine books. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.

The Execsior club got their pictures on Monday afternoon. They are excellent ones and the boys make a fine appearance taken as a whole.

The supplement to the catalogue to be found in the Annual is likely we understand to be recommended by the Board of Regents as a part of the next catalogue The study of the catalogue would thus be rendered quite attractive.
It is a shame that the city authorities pay so little attention to the roads leading to the University. There is no decent road by which anyone can get to the University, yet there has been no work done on the approaches for at least a college year.
We are glad to hear from the business manager of the Annual that the production is finding a very ready sale, and that the sale is not confined to any faction or factions but that everyone buys, and after reading advises his friends to buy.
The ball game at Haskell Institute was witnessed by quite a number of students.

Review Election.
The annual election of the officers and staff of of the Review took place Monday. Nothing occurred to mar the serenity of the occasion, unless we might peahaps mention a few gentle objections by Mr. Harrington. Harrington was on hand with his compiled laws of Kansas," but the ready decision of the chair cut all unnecessary debate. The "No Vote" echo was rather weak, and H. F. M. Bear was elected editor-in-chief by a good majority. The staff and other officers elected were: Associate Editors: A. L. Burney, Ed. Esterly, H. Montgomery, Helen Sutliff, Maud Springer, Emma Bartell; Board of Directors: H. E. Ellison, D. Potter, F. W. Butler, W. D. Ross; Business Managers: W. E. Swank, N. C. Brooks.
With the above named editor and his able corps of assistants we believe the Review will continue to maintain the high rank which the past has given it, as a literary publication. Success to the new administration.
Helianthus Annus.
The long looked for, much wished for, and "heap much" talked about "Great Sunflower" has at last made its appearance. And, with its rich yellow odor, how it permeates our vein of humor and causes a big grin of satisfaction and delight to spread over the features. If there are any who were foolish enough to doubt the success of such an undertaking let them peruse the Annual and convince themselves of their mistake.
The Annual is full of good common sense, wry humor, and contains some palpable hits. There are not very many poetical effusions, but those that do appear are of nature's talent and to the point. As the efficient editor himself, says of the poetry, "There is not much of it. but it is home-made and will wear on both sides." The Annual contains much matter akin to that which is to be found in the catalogue of the University. This, however, is no detriment, but makes it more valuable as a keepsake. Within its pages are to be found cuts of the University, Snow Hall, Chemistry Building, and also cuts of the interior of the Natural History Department and of the Classical Museum. These cuts add much to the value of the Annual. The different fraternities with all their charter, alumni and other members are given, and the date and order of their establishment at K. S. U. To those fraternities which were factors in boosting the Annual, designs emblematic of the fraternity preface each. A delicate egg-shaped, cross boned cut, with a Hobo inscription over its anterior surface, stands sentinel to the "Fraternies of the University." Then there is a sombre representative of a plug hat with a "petition" in its hand, walking off with a Senior; a fairy method of the knowing Junior for studying the little twinklets of the starlets; a vivid conception of a Sophomore, breathing out defiance "neath a mustang hair lip, and whose mental capacities are depicted as Hope, Mule, Selfishness, Self-esteem, and (?) especially (?); and lastly a pathetic picture of a Freshman trying to walk off with the earth over a field of 3's. But the poor prep, whose fondest anticipations were blasted this year by the faculty, he is sighing, "Good-bye, vain world," as he gradually fades away in the calm ether of forgetfulness. We will not mention that pharmaceutical picture where a hungry looking student is mixing up some composition, whose sudden expansion distributed the poor fellow over sixteen counties Nor will we say anything about the Law students, whose cute remarks capture our attention. It would, indeed, be the height of impoliteness to even think here of mentioning the quant pranks of our "sisters'" pan hellenic. Why, we had better play leap-frog with our imagination—'twould make us stand in our heads with indignation to think of an exposition; but the gentlemen's "lenic"—how gorgeous, how beautiful, how decolette! That question marked cider barrel will long be remembered. There are numerous other "phynny" acts, "Pooh bah" being perhaps the most conspicuous one. There is one act, however, which we will not mention now, but the sight of which in after years will bring un vividly before our minds the eventful year of '89. "All's Well That Ends Well," an original drama in three acts, concludes the Helianthus. It is quite Shakespearean in its style and reflects much credit on its author.
In taking a short view of the contents of the Annual, we must necessarily skip over much which we would otherwise dwell upon. It is gotten up in excellent shape and there is much about it to be commended. No one's feelings have been hurt by anything which appears in it. Those who deemed it best to "pull out" from the Annual have been but slightly reprimanded. The articles are well written and the "funny" squibs will bring a smile to our countenances in after years. When postity shall glance over the pages of the Helianthus they will wonder how that man, James H. Canfield, could be so numerous; they will marvel at the blood thirsty disposition of "Dyche the Ripper;" they will twist their imagination in order to conceive how Edgar Henry Summerfield Bailey ever gathered up all that name; and they will smother in laughter as they think of the sad experience of Julius Oscius Worden.
Yes, the "Great Sunflower" is a success. Much credit is due the editors for their efficient work. But especially is credit due the Editor-in-chief, whose genius in the literary line is quite manifest. Helianthus Annus, we bid you welcome.
Examinations
Many of our professors have adopted the new system of examination this year. We are glad to see this change so generally adopted and hope soon to see the old system a thing on the past in our University. In all the departments in which it has been tried it has given entire satisfaction, and the students have done more thorough work. It is a great incentive to a student to know when he takes up a study, that if his class grade is satisfactory, he will be saved the worry and mental excitement attendant on the examination farce. If this system was adopted by our faculty, examination week would no longer be looked forward to with a shudder, but would be welcomed by the students who have done honest work, as a reward of merit, as a time for recreation in which they might refresh themselves before taking up the work of the next term. It is useless to attempt to defend the old system on the ground that if a student does all the work required of him during the term, the examinations will cause him no unnecessary work. There are students, however thorough they may have done their class work, but are forced to "cram" on all the work passed over during the term, in order to pass a creditable examination.
The old examination system besides causing unnecessary work and worry, fosters dishonesty and forces the student to all manner of sneaking devices in order that he may make as good a showing as possible for the work done during the term. This practice will continue just as long as the test examination system continues, for it is one of the attendant evils of that system. By written recitations and daily class grading, a more thorough knowledge is obtained of the work done by the student. It is, on the whole more just, andwould
save much valuable time both to the student and to the professor. We see no reason why the old system with its attendant evils should be longer continued and believe the faculty would take a wise step if they abolished the examination system entirely.
Chancellor Lippincott's Reception.
Notwithstanding the moist condition of the atmosphere on the evening of May 23rd, the parlors of Chancellor Lippincott were filled with guests who well knew the reputation of the Chancellor as an entertainer. The guests consisted of the Faculty, the Senior class and a few of the Juniors. The rooms were handsomely decorated with flowers and the cozy and comfortable condition of things inside presented a brilliant contrast to the lowering stormy weather outside. About ten o'clock the entertained were introduced to a pleasing repast, to which they did ample justice. Mrs. Lippincott is well known for her royal qualities as hostess as those who have enjoyed her hospitality are ready to affirm. The evening was most pleasantly spent by all. The modest Junior set aside his innate bashfulness; the dignified Senior deigned for the time to forget his diploma and to shake hands with the Junior; while the salutary influence of the surroundings caused the grave Faculty to put on their best smiles, and to join in the quips and pranks of the other members present. When the time for adjournment came it was with a feeling of regret that they left, all bearing in mind that this was the last reception to be tendered by the Chancellor and Mrs. Lippincott.
The Review for May came out last Friday. It was a model one of its kind. Its contents were, "A Hammock Scene" in poetry, by H. B. "Hammock Scenes" are naturally quite suggestive, and some one remarked that there was nothing the matter with this one except the finale. "The Philosophy of Inequality," the winning oration delivered by Ed. H. Hughes at the Inter State Contest, has been previously printed in the Times, and we are all familiar with its excellences. It is the custom of the Review to publish the winning oration so as to "give it place for future reference and comparison." "Our journey" in poetry, is up to the standard and needs no commendation other than to say it was written by Prof. A. G. Canfield.
"The Arabs and Civilization" is a well written article by E. E. Slosson, and shows the author thoroughly conversant with his subject. "The Fisher Maiden," a translation in poetry from the German of Henie, by Mr. Anonymous, is well rendered. "National Unity," the sixth article was the subject of J. A. Wilkerson's oration. Mr. Wilkerson, it will be remembered, was awarded third place in the Inter State Contest. The oration will bear close scrutiny and we are not admitting too much when we say it compares favorably with Mr. Hugh's oration. The editorials for this number were well gotten up, and were a credit to the editor. We like to read such articles.
The Month which has been prospering under the able management of W. A. White, has lost none of its freshness and vigor in the May number of the Review. It is highly characteristic of Mr White, that whatever he undertakes in the newspaper line he leads to success. The "Month" is a unique and successful method of chronicleing the local happenings which go to make up the history of K. S. U. We believe it should live on, and we think with "Billy" that the "Month" stands on its own bottom.
Prof. Sayre's Reception.
Last Friday evening the beautiful residence of Prof. Sayre on south Ohio street, was the scene of one of the most joyful gatherings of the year; it being the Prof.'s reception to the Senior pharmacy class. One notable feature of the evening was the presence of the entire pharmacy faculty accompanied by their wives. Social amusement was the order of the early part of the evening, followed by refrehments. Prof. and Mrs. Sayre have long been known as the most charming of entertainers, but on this occasion they eclipsed all former efforts. Those present were: Prof. and Mrs. Sayre, Mrs. Lippincott, Prof. and Mrs. Bailey, Prof. and Mrs. Robinson, Prof. and Mrs. Snow, Prof. and Mrs. Dyche, Prof. and Mrs. Franklin, Prof. Wilcox, Miss Rudolph, E. C. Franklin, Geo. Weide, Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Woodard, Dr. R. J. Brown, of Leavenworth, Miss Baby Sneep, Misses Grabe, Alice Mason, Town, Innis, Briggs; Mrs. Sneep, Canfield, Soules, and Miss Drake, of Beloit, Kan.; Messrs. Parker, Hogeboom, Scott, Webb, Kaiser, Hill. Kennedy, Shane, Morris, Snepp, and Pollock.
Philological Club
The members of the Philological Club and its invited guests celebrated the completion of its year's work by a banquet on Friday afternoon, May 24th. The banquets assembled in the Greek room and were ushered thence by Dr. Wilcox, garter classical museum where the tables audited and welding to herald's scepter, inward laid. Prof. Marsh, president of the club, presided over the feasting. As might have been expected of philological society, the viads were polyglot. After a first course of preserves borrowed from Greece and partaken of in veritable Greek style, Staves brought in festival wreathes for therows of those who had particularly distinguished themselves during the year. Then followed courses of most various nationality—Italian, French, Roman, Greek, and German. The gods and heroes looked down from the wall in wide eye wonder at the barbarian face, and at the entrance of the German course were even thought to smile in satisfaction over their noseless condition. They must have felt almost at home again, though, at sight of Hibe (Miss旧铝) and gangmede (Dr. Wilcox) bearing about the nectar of Ganymedi's own brewing. This was the bulk of rare Preserves (Greece), Figs and Ramsus (Bread) and terre trites and Olives (Italy). Poinnes de terre trites et Sardines (France). Mungithera (Greece). Brickstein Kaese, Wurst and, Schwartzord (Germany). Dates and棉绸 (Persia). Coфе is a Turque (Turkey). After the coffee Prot. Marsh proceeded to put into practise what he was the Cluo muto, to use every man after his desert." Toasts were drunken to K.S.U. and its various cities and interests. Prot. Robinson responded in behalf of the Philological Club, Mr. Esterly for the Science Club, its elder sister; Mr. Buckingham for the Political Science Club, Prot. Sayre for the Pharmacists, Mr. Ennis for the Law, Mr. Manning for Music. "The ladies spoke for themselves," for Miss Edith Manley. The "Time that true men's souls" was denied by Mr. Wilkerson, and Mr. Keilogg responded for the

Review. Miss Merrill spoke for the graduating members of the club, and Dr. Wilcox answered the club's "faithful secretary to her sex's fables." Prof. Marsh was a very genial and happy "master of toasts," and the speeches were short, bright and witty. The utmost jollity prevailed and all seemed to hail in favor of Dr. Wilcox's suggestion that another year all the special clubs should unite in a common banquet—a sort of a pandemonium. At the end "hoi Poli-lo" mind that this was their last chance demanded a speech from the toast master himself. Prof. Marsh replied in a few good bye words in which he declared his attachment to the associations of the University and the club and his confidence in the brilliant possibilities for a great center of knowledge and culture in Kansas. And so the afternoon ended with a note of regret.

An attempt is being made to perfect a State Press Association among the college papers of Kansas.
This scheme should receive the support of all such journals of our State. The success of the plan as evolved by the convention at Grinnell, demands the formation of such an association, and we hope to see it consummated. We give in this issue the object of the association as set forth by Pres. S. D. Horsh.
ROBERT L. McAlpine, the well known son of Nick McAlpine, quietly took a leave of absence on Wednesday morning from the city engineer's office, where he is employed as a draughtsman, and left on the night train for Lawrence, where to-day he was as quietly married to Miss Susie Anderson, one of the leading society young ladies of that city. The young couple take about a week's tour, and will then return to this city, where they will receive the congratulations of their many friends.—K. C. Journal.
When will wonders cease? Who ever dreamed that "Bob" was in love? We venture that even his Lawrence friends (and they are many) did not know of this unexpected step until the deed was done—the knot was tied—and "Bob" and Mrs. McAlpine were gone. The Times extends most hearty congratulations.
The Difference.
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 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. —Courier.
May 14—The Senior Class decide to have no Class Day exercises. Thus does another large chestnut roll out of the path of progress. Class Day and all the rattlely bang beating of tom toms and hoodoo business of Commencement week savors of the barbaric. This, also, is vanity. The lower classmen should rise up and bless the class of '89.-The Monthly Review.
Both of the above articles are from the pens of harmonious co-workers(?) of the celebrated Junior class. As we predicted last week, Julius Andronicus Mushrusticus was liable to break out in a new spot most any time, and true to life and to be sure of death he hurls his vituperations upon the class of '89. As for said class it is perfectly capable of taking care of itself, and we under standthe "Monthly" editor is a personage who may usually be found on top, so we are willing to let them fight it out—yes we are even willing to stake the reputation of the Senior Class on the result.
Our exchanges are defining a kiss to be "an anatomical juxtaposition of two orbicularis oris muscles in state of contraction." and very strangely do not credit the definition to a lady sophomore of the State University.—Tribune.
They give entire credit to our Junior girls, however, so it 's all right. They are authority—so they say.
In regard to the Western Inter-Collegiate Press Association, we quote the following from a letter by the president of the association, Mr. S. D. Harsh, of the Lombard( Illinois) Review: "The prime object of organization is to get college papers to work together in a way to raise the standard of journalism and in this way enlarge its field of usefulness. As the case now stands the college paper occupies altogether too much field. Instead of being the mere organ of the student body in school, it should become the organ of the whole body of students that ever attended the college—become, in fact, the official representative of the college in everything. In this way it can do great good in bringing the secular world and the college world into closer union, a thing that is to be much desired. As a final end of the organization, I hope to see it make the college press of our land a strong, aggressive force, laboring for the cause of higher eduction. The college press of the present is altogether too much on the defensive in regard to the benefits of a college education. It should, instead, reach out into the world and become a great factor in the promotion of liberal education."—Washburn Reporter.

Exchange Notes.
Vol. I, No. 2, Buchtelite, finds its way to our table this week. The Buchtelite is published by the students of Buchtal College at Akron, Ohio. We are well pleased with the appearance of the Buchtelite and should it continue, its present policy will undoubtedly hold an enviable place in college journalism.
Conspicuous among our new exchanges is the College Times. The Times is a monthly publication with an attractive appearance, and contains much excellent matter that is well arranged. We hope to see the Times a regular visitor in the future.
The Illinois Wesleyan University has twelve Seniors—two ladies and ten gentlemen.
The Elite Journal suggest the idea of forming an International Oratorical Association of the English speaking countries. The idea is rather a novel one, yet we believe there is a possibility of such an organization being perfected in the near future.
"If there is anyone who wants to procure the blessing that is promised to peacemakers, let him emigrate to Lawrence, Kans., and make peace between the Courier and TIMES.— Elite Journal
Such intercession is hardly necessary—the worthiest will live. Our contemporary has made all the necessary preparation for a sudden demise and has long savored of the tomb.
A few weeks ago we published a list of all the college papers receiving the Times that had neglected to place us on their exchange list. A great many have acted on our suggestion while a still greater number continue to disregard it. We hope that all such papers will not longer continue this discountes. If you do not wish to exchange you will confer a favor by frankly stating it by a postal or by sending us a marked copy.
Most of our Southern exchanges are urging the formation of a Southern Interstate Oratorical Association. We hope they will succeed in their efforts.

THE high esteem in which water is held in Kansas is shown by the fact that bath tickets are offered as prizes in the athletic contests at the State University. Emporia Republican.
Who says that field day is not going to be productive of much good? There is still hope for all those who have had but "an erstwhile bath of soup or a dish of crow."

From the Chaplain of Exeter College, and Houghton Syrina Prizenan, Oxford.
Dear Sir—In April, 1854, I am sure you notice that my examination room would be held in a fortnight. I had only ten (10) days in which to prepare for the Exam. I should recommend a book of any one so utterly unprepared as I was; but you knew that I strengthened my natural memory that I was able to remember and give the gist of any book after reading Lightfoot, read Lightfoot, trooper Harold, Browne, Mowne, and successful in every one of the nine papers. The present Bishop of Edimbourg knows the facts.
