This firm is always at the front and offer a line of seasonable merchandise of undoubled value on printed challies, now so popular, in Satines, White Goods, Black Drapery nets.

Commencement Concert of the Department of Music.
One of the largest audiences which has assembled in University Hall this year was the one that enjoyed the excellent program presented by the students of the music department assisted by Miss Georgia Brown,last Thursday evening. Miss Franklin in two numbers displayed her customary excellence at the piano and was warmly applauded. Miss Weller also presented two selections in a very easy, charming manner. Miss Burr showed herself a correct and pleasing player. Mr. Manning delighted the audience, as usual, with his faultless rendition of music. The vocal solos by Miss Georgia Brown were rendered in a charming manner and brought forth repeated applause, the selection "Last Night" being repeatedly encored.
The department of Music closes a most successful year's work with this concert. The growth of the department is gratifying to all friends of the University and of music. It is to this department, under its efficient instructor, that Lawrence owes her
reputation for Musical culture. Already the department is widely known throughout the State for the proficiency attained in it, and the University can well be proud of its work.
Kappa Alpha Theta.
One of the pleasantest of the many events in the social life of the University is the Commencement reception given every spring by the young ladies of Kapppa Alpha Theta. These young ladies fully maintained their reputation as excellent entertainers at their reception given in the Merchants Bank Hall last Friday evening; indeed former efforts were fairly surpassed. Many of the Alumni and friends of the fraternity members from a distance were present.
Very neat little souvenirs were the dance cards tied with the colors.
The supper which was highly complimented, was prepared and served in a very tasteful manner by the young ladies. The hall as decorated by the young ladies presented a very attractive appearance and coupled with the royal manner in which the Thetas entertained their guests will make the occasion one long to be remembered with pleasure.
Those present were: Mr. and Mrs.
A. Henley, Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Field,
Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Webster, Mr. and
Mrs. Herb Beatty, Prof. and Mrs.
MacDonald, Dr. and Mrs. Lippincott,

Department of Pharmacy. A good audience assembled in University Hall Monday morning to hear the exercises of the Senior Pharmacy class. After the invocation by Dr. Coreley, Mr. Robert Parker delivered a very pleasing salutatory. Mr. E. W. Morris spoke on the "Schools of Pharmacy," after which Mr. Denton Hogeboom read the "Class History" which he had compiled in a very interesting manner. The "Pill Speech" made by Mr. Alfred T. Webb was full of sound advice to the Juniors and contained much humor. But the Junior response by Mr. E. S. Bessey was if possible, wittier and elicited much applause.
Hon. F. A. Faxon then gave the boys much wholesome advice in their profession which they no doubt will follow.
Mr. Robert Drake, President of the State Board of Pharmacy also addressed a few words to the class urging them to continue their work zealously and conscientiously.
The "Valedictory" by Mr. Fred Kaiser was one of the best efforts of the day. Mr. Kaiser spoke very forcibly and protestant against the stigma of the liquor traffic being thrown upon the pharmacists.
Department of Law. J.W. Green and M. Summerfield
The music by the Andie Jewell Orchestra very pleasantly punctuated the program. All in all the Pharmacy department has reason to be proud of its work and of its Commencement exercises.
There is no longer any doubt in the minds of those best qualified to judge, that the law school is the proper place to begin the study of the law. Twenty years ago when every lawyer considered it a part of his business to give instruction to students serving apprenticeship in his office, the matter wore a different aspect. But the bad economy of the old plan came gradually to be recognized. Law schools grew in efficiency and in favor, and lawyers adopted themselves to the new order of things, so that to-day there is practical unanimity of opinion in legal circles. The law school is by far the most economical means to a sound legal education. The Department of Law was established in the State University of Kansas in the fall of 1878. The design was to furnish a complete course of legal instruction for persons intending to practice at the bar in any State of the Union. The aim in text-book instruction is the thorough training of the student in legal modes of thought, and the cultivation of a clear knowledge of the leading principles of law, leaving minor details for later years. Definiteness and exactness of knowledge is considered of the first importance. In addition to their law studies, the students of this department may have access, without charge, to the library of the University, and on the payment of the contingent fee may have the privileges of recitations and lectures in the Department of Science, Literature and Arts. The complete course includes two annual terms, each of which occupies eight and one-half months, (including two weeks' recess at Christmas.) The first term for the year 1888-9 will begin on Wednesday, the 14th day of September, 1888. All persons purposing to enter upon the study of law are earnestly recommended first to take a course of liberal studies. Applicants for the degree of LL.B. must, in every case, have been admitted as regular members of the senior class at the beginning of the senior term, and must also have attended the senior recitations during the entire term. Moot courts are held every week during the term by one of the Faculty, at each of which a case previously assigned is taken up for practice in the conduct of causes, and in the discussion of legal principles. A Kent club has been formed by the students, in which dissertations are read and cases argued.
The department was never in so promising a condition as now. The classes for next year will be larger than ever before, if the present indications are vereified.
Judge Thacher's Address.
The annual oration before the Department of Law was given in University Hall last Monday evening by Hon. S. O. Thatcher. The production was interesting, scholarly, brilliant and commanded the close attention of the audience.
Space only allows us to give a few extracts.
"MILESTONES OF THE LAW."
It is not a broad philosophy that finds the march of human progress alone to consist in widening acres of tilled fields or multiplied smoke-stocks, or in spreading white wings of commerce. Physical growth is a measure indeed, but only a partial and narrow measure, of the advance the race has made from rudimentary life to the complex order of a high civilization.
Nationality finds its exponent in wealth, art, literature, religion and law. The lowest of these is the mere aggregation of the transitory things of earth, those we call riches. True it is that "chill penury" represses the nobler pursuits, obscures
the genius of the poet and artist, and makes religion a solace amid toil and want, instead of a sublime communion of the soul with the Divine Spirit. The grind and wear of poverty tend away from intellectual achievements and exalted contemplation. The nation that knows no increasing alleviation of the physical misery of its people bestows little thought on the sculptor, law-giver or theologian. It is unnecessary to decry wealth in finding that the noblest elements of progress lie along higher planes than those of material welfare.
Few reflecting minds will question the affirmation that the rules that guide the administration of justice and define the rights of men should show a conformity to that universal law of progress which the optimist beholds in the history of civilized nations."
"Time may dissolve the monument of Nelson in Trafalgar Square, the bronze figure of Wellington in the Wilhalla of Ergland, may corrode into dust, Blenheim palace cease to commemorate the deeds of Marlborough, and the battles of mighty men of valor be erased from the historic page, but immortal shall be the memory of those who, during the centuries, have sought to lift jurisprudence to the loftly plane of justice and to establish fidelity and truth as cardinal principles for every walk of life."
After carefully noticing the various "milestones," and tracing the course of freedom after the time of Lord Mansfield's decision that "no slave could breathe English air," the Judge concluded as follows:

Noramulet was worn for its power of warding off evil. Nor has the fulness of truth come yet. We still have superstitions. But the amulet which I would hang on your memories, if not upon your heart, is the great truth which fell from the Divine Master's lips when he said "Verily he that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation." This eternal life comes not by dying, but by hearing and believing. But we might well ask what eternal life is, or first what is life? We are certain that we know what it is, yet who can define it? We place our hand over our heart and say "I live" and base all our work upon that belief. We can feel the pulses beating and experience the working of the brain. We feel the spiritual life within us ebbing and flowing, resistless in its force like the great ocean tide. And how can we describe all these movements except by the term life. It is upon this basis, however, and this alone that we can consider that fuller meaning given it by Christ.

Orophilian Anniversary. A large audience assembled in University Hall last Friday evening to listen to the anniversary exercises of the Orophillian Literary Society. After the invocation a euphonium solo was rendered by Mr. Wm. J. Bell. The next on the program was a declamation by J. H. Sawtell, on "Toussaint's Last Struggle for Hayti." An interesting oration was given by C. M. Sherer, on the subject "Separate the Races." The audience then listened to a solo by Miss Ia Williams. She received most hearty applause and was enclosed. Miss Florence Reasoner then read an essay on "Byronism," which showed great thought, and clear comprehension of the influences which actuated the great poet.
The next on the program was an oration by H. F.M.Bear, on the subject "Is it an Experiment?" He traced the history of our government, and the trials it has experienced. From our past experience, he drew the conclusion that the permanency and stability of our government is assured. His delivery was good, and his enunciation clear, and he was listened to with great interest.
A piano solo was then rendered by Miss Ida Burr, after which a very interesting debate was given on the subject: "Has Increased Wealth a Favorable Influence on Morals." The debaters were R. D. O'Leary on the affirmative, and J. G. Wine on the negative. After a Trombone solo by H. R. Gillman, the audience dispersed well pleased with the evening's exercises.
Baccalaureate Service.
The Chapel was filled to overflowing Sunday evening by those who came to hear Rev. A. H. Tuttle D. D., of Baltimore. Md., speak on "The Divine Life." The exercises were opened by the hymn "Come, Thou Almighty King," followed by prayer by Rev. Van Pelt. The choir, composed of Misses Hutchings and Brown, and Messrs. Riggs and Stevens, then rendered a most beautiful anthem. The scripture lesson of the evening was read by Dr. Cordley from I John V, after which the congregation united in singing "Nearer My God to Thee."
With a few well chosen remarks Chancellor Lippincott then introduced Rev. Tuttle who took for his text I John, V:24, "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
The sermon was directed mainly to the present outgoing classes.
In olden times, the Doctor said, an
In the Bible we have the meaning of life fully given but it is better to suggest it and let you think it out for yourself. The Saviour said to the young man "If thou wouldst merit eternal life keep the commandments," meaning by this not mere activity, but activity according to a divine law. Young people often think the moral law was imposed upon them simply as a needless restriction. They look upon it as depriving them of all the pleasures of life. But not so. It is given to shape the character more like the divine character. It is God's character stamped in rules. When the father saw the prodigal son returning he said, "This my son which was dead is alive again." He was dead in as far as he departed from his true relationship. So the spirit which departs from its true relationship with Christ is dead!
Character is the organ of vision. He who sees must have the inner qualifications. You who go out from these walls are more capable of appreciating the beauty and fullness of life than your less fortunate brother who lacks your culture. But if you neglect the spiritual qualities, the intellectual qualities can not make your enjoyment complete. Christ said "Blessed are the pure in heart." Purity of heart is being like God, and Christ is the ideal life.
The genesis of life has caused many serious questions. But life only comes from life. When did a living thing ever come out of anything dead? It is impossible. Nor
can one life come out of another. The lily does not bloom on bushes, nor do animals grow on trees. An oak grows from an acorn, and man is born of man. Nowhere can it be said with certainty that one species has sprung from another different species. As man is born of man so a son of God is born of God. He is regenerated. When man was created God breathed into him the breath of life, the Divine life. And it is this life that has blessed mankind. Trace the progress of religion and you trace the progress of civilization.
Eternal life is given to the good and evil alike. The one develops according to the natural rule of life, the other remains in perpetual childhood, which is another name for idiocy. You can read your destiny in your life. The plant is unconscious of the quality of its life but we are conscious of it and have the assurance that "He that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
The sermon was closely listened to and was delivered very forcibly.
Grand June Sale.
After a short prayer by Dr. Lippineott the congregation sang "Jesus, I live to thee," after which Dr. Marvin dismissed the audience with the benediction.

Athenaeum Anniversary.
This young and growing society gave its second anniversary program Saturday evening to a full house.
After invocation by Rev. R. H.
Van Pelt, the presiding officer, Mr.
Harold Barnes, announced music
by the University Mandolin Club.
It is needless to say that the audience
was delighted with the selection rendered.
The essay next presented by Miss Maude Tinsley, entitled "We Live by What We Do," was cleverly written and heartily applauded.
Mr. Wm. Hill's oration entitled "Grecian Mythology," showed careful study of his subject and was well received. Mr. Hill's delivery, how ever, was weak.
Miss Georgia Brown then rendered in her usual charming manner a vocal solo entitled "Yesterday," which was encribed. The debate on the question "Has Moral Progress been greater than Intellectual Progress," was presented in the affirmative by Mr. H. S. Hadley, and in the negative by Mr. H. B. Hall.
Mr. Hadley claimed that the past had produced greater intellects than the present, thus showing that intellectual progress had ceased. The works, both literary and physical, which attract the attention of men of to-day, are the products of the genius of former ages. On the other hand moral progress has not stopped." It is continually advancing. It brushes aside the superstition of witchcraft swept away the curse of slavery and is to-day battling with the rum power.
Mr Hadley's delivery was very effective and with a little training he will make a good speaker. His effort was a credit to him in every respect.
Mr. Hall said that while the ancient works, such as the pyramids and public buildings might be admired, yet they could only be admired as the result of mere physical force, and not as the result of skill and high intelligence. The past few centuries have furnished us with those great writers and thinkers whose names have become household words. Skill in the arts and sciences has attained a height never before reached. The development of our educational system is proof in itself of our intellectual powers.
Mr. Hall spoke in an easy pleasant manner and very creditably presented his side of the question.
An instrumental solo, Miegenleidchen, by Miss Mamie Johnston was well executed and heartily applauded.
"The Death Bridge of the Tay," by Miss Alberta Corbin, was not
spoken loud enough for the audience to hear it well.
Mr. C. P. Chapman's oration "The Discipline of Difficulties," was delivered in his best spirit and was warmly applauded, as it well deserved. The University Mandolin Club then closed the exercises with one of its most beautiful selections. The members of this club are Messrs. Shellabarger, Bowersock, Brewster, Moorhees, and Swope.
All in all, Athenaeum has finished a very creditable year and is now the strongest literary society in K. S. U. The program of Saturday night was a very fitting finale of the year's work.
Department of English. A. R.
Marsh and C G. Dunlap,
Professors.
The aim of the Department of English is a double one, in the first place, to furnish all undergraduate students, without exception, training in the art of writing the English language, as well as some slight acquaintance at least with a few of the greatest of English writers; in the second place, to give such students as are especially attracted to the study of English language and literature an opportunity to acquire the beginning of a really sound and thorough training in them. Of these two aims perhaps the former is the more important to the University as a whole. It is very necessary that the graduates of any course or department should be able to convey to the world the results of their investigations in such a form as to obtain a respectful hearing, and if possible, to arouse interest and attract attention. Accordingly, great stress is laid in the Freshman and Sophomore years upon writing. All students are required to take class work in so much of Rhetoric as directly bears upon writing, to study the work of great masters of English style both in prose and in verse, and to write. He has constant short essays and abstracts and outlines to write as a part of his class work; and he has besides to write at stated intervals longer essays, on subjects of such a nature as to require investigation on his part. Of these longer essays he has during his college course seventeen, which are read and criticized by an instructor in the English Department. After the student has to rewrite a defective or faulty essay, and at all times he has
to face criticism both of substance and form as severe as the instructor is capable of.
The student may, if he chooses, gain still further training in this direction. A course in Advanced English Composition is given during half of each year, and in this the student does a very great amount of writing and gets a great deal of direct and practical criticism. He is given a subject to look up and at the next recitation he is expected to write a brief but well formed article on some point connected with the subject. This short composition is either criticised then and there by the instructor is corrected at his leisure and given back to the student with criticisms written upon it. In this class, also, the students are often required to rewrite, to criticise each other's work and to discuss points of style. In order, however, that the students may not lose the power of constructing larger compositions, they are required to hand in at intervals of a fortnight essays of several pages in length, upon subjects requiring considerable study and research.
If, now, the student has an inclination to learn more of the English language or its literature than is possible in connection with the development of his powers as a writer, he has at the beginning of his Junior year an opportunity to take further courses in these directions. If he wishes to know about the English language, its history and development, he may study Anglo-Saxon for a year. When he has become able to read Anglo-Saxon easily, and knows well the grammar of this early period, he may study for a year more Middle English, and so become familiar with the process by which the language grew to be what it is now. But if the student is attracted more by English Literature he will find open to him five courses. In the first course, what is known as English 5, he will read Chaucer and Spenser, enough of each really to feel at home with them. In English 6, he will study Dryden, as well as Pope, Swift, Addison, Thomson, Gray, and other English writers of the early part of the 18th century. In English 7 he will read Bacon's essays and considerable portions of Milton's poetry. In English 8, three
of Shakspere's plays are read with the greatest care: and in English 9, three other of Shakspere's plays are read in the same way. It will be seen from the above brief outline that anyone desiring to become familiar with the main periods of English Literature, with the exception of the 18th Century, has every opportunity of doing so. In every course the work is made as thorough as possible, and the student is required to obtain more than mere smattering. No detail is considered to minute to be unimportant when the intellectual habits of the students are at stake
To aid in its work the English department now has in the library a good collection of books appertaining both to English literature and to English Philology. A recent acquisition is the complete set of publications of the Early English Text Society, the most valuable collection of books in existence for the study of the history of the English language. There is also a good collection of books relating to Shakspere and to Bacon. English poetry is well represented, and the student will find most of the really necessary books on the shelves. Every year the collection grows richer, and soon it will be ample for all needs.
Class Day Exercises-
The usual class day exercises were entirely done away with and a new and original program was adopted and very successfully carried out. At 9:30 the various classes attended chapel exercises after which they marched out and re-formed while the audience was being seated, when the classes under their respective marshals, again marched in and took possession of the seats reserved for them. The chapel, decorated by he Juniors, presented a very beautiful appearance. The president of the day, Miss Flora Newlin, then introduced Mr. Harvey who made an address for the senior class, followed by Professor J. H. Canfield, in behalf of the Faculty. At the close of Prof. Canfield's remarks, the senior class sang a college song, and then led the classes as they marched out of the chapel. The Seniors then marched to the Observatory and saluted it while the Juniors formed at the Main Building, the Sophomores at Snow Hall and the Freshmen at
Snow Hall and the Freshman at
the Chemistry Building. The Seniors then returned to the Main Building which they saluted, and in return were addressed by the Chancellor. At Snow Hall the address was made by Professor Snow, and at the Chemistry Building by Professor Bailey. At each place the classes saluted each other, the Professors and the building. The classes then assembled north of the Main Building where the Seniors drank the healths of the Alumni in tea, of the Juniors in soda pop, of the Sophomores in water and of the Freshmen in milk. After singing a class song the Seniors then marched to the north end of the campus where they planted their class tree.
The Professors, Seniors and Juniors then assembled in the north halls of the Main Building where the Seniors had prepared an elegant banquet. After the banquet had been enjoyed Miss Merrill, as toast master and representative of the Seniors, made a short address, followed by Dr. Wilcox in a pleasant address for the Faculty. But the Junior representative, Mr. Bear, who followed Dr. Wilcox, brought down the house. The Juniors then sang a song prepared especially for the occasion by the class poet, which was pronounced the best of the day, after which the assemblage dispersed well pleased with the exercises of the day.
We are glad to be able to present the following history of the Senior Class.

We take pleasure in presenting the following exercises of the graduating class:
Commencement Exercises
Mr. Harry Buckingham in his oration on "The Independence of Literature," discussed the effects of patronage on literature. He reviewed the ages of Augustus at Rome and Louis XIV in France, when men of letters were supported by the monarchs, and also the Age ofQueen Anne in England, when authors were aided by the political parties; and showed that the dependence of writers upon patrons —whether private, political, or governmental,—had always been
detrimental to the best interests of literary work. Augustus and Louis patronized men of letters in order that they might add to the glory of their reigns; while in the age of Queen Anne, authors were employed to further party interests. He held that independence was necessary to the welfare of literature, and that if governments, or academies, or political parties undertook to assist writers, more harm than good would be done. Mr. Buckingham's delivery was very pleasing and his oration showed careful thought.
Miss Manley's oration on "Caste" opened with a declaration of the universality of social caste—a universality which even those who pretend to ignore it, recognized by the very pains they take to seem unaware of it. The statement was made and dwelt upon that social position is not determined upon moral qualities, and a solution attempted of the question what does it then depend upon? The answer, Miss Manley stated to be, social position depends primarily on the degree in which a man conforms to the laws of beauty in his manners and conduct; she supported her position with several quotations from Emerson's essay on "Manners."
Toward a state in which the true relations of moral and aesthetic law to conduct would be perceived, society was declared to be tending; a caste founded on such laws was declared natural and justifiable The gentleman is an object of interest because of the intrinsic worth of the qualities that made him such.
Miss Manly showed herself a master of her subject by the admirable manner of its presentation.
Mr. E. E. Squire's oration entitled "Reserved Power" was car y written and forcibly delivered. Mr. Squires said: "It is a popular truism that in this world men are very venturous and seem to forget that as speed is increased the power must also be increased. Hence there is aften an entire use of force and no power held in reserve. But this is a mistake. Men reserve that which has in it reserved force. For this reason men revere nature. Her plenitude of power, her concealed forces, these have ever been revered by poet and philosopher and were to some extent by all men. As with nature, so with individuals, lack
of reserve power often it dicates failure. Men are not moved by the power which an orator exhibits but by the power which they feel he has in reserve. There are crises in the life of every man, the existence of every nation, which demand reserve force. And this reserve power is most fully developed by thorough education, thus furnishing one of the strongest arguments for higher education.
Miss Anna McKinnon in her oration on "Wordsworth's Conception of Nature," said: The poetry of the time of Pope, treated of man. Nature and man's relation to it was a new theme and satisfied the poetic longings of the new age. William Wordsworth was the true prophet who was to reveal to men in the familiar objects of nature, the embodiment of a spirit in harmony and sympathy with the soul of man. In the face of nature Wordsworth saw not simply different forms of vegetation and earth formation, but Life in various manifestations, a form of the same life which resides in man. He lent a soul to the objects about him and they repaid him in full measure. He found in nature an inspiration,, a source of high and noble feeling and emotion. In the companionship of Wordsworth each man discoveres for himself the living spirit of Nature and enjoys her sweet companionship. Miss McKinnon's was one of the best of the day and merited the close attention it received.
"The Conflict of Educational Ideals," was discussed by Miss Merrill as follows: "Plato in one of his dialogues gives us a picture representing the uneducated soul as imprisoned under the ground, passing his life smong shadows and treating them as if they were real objects. Following the line of Plato's thought, every generation may be asked whether it will belong to the dwellers in underground caverns. This question may also be asked of the young men and women in college, and they must attempt to answer it, to examine slightly their aims and motives in education. They are not wholly responsible for their training, however, the motives of education employed by colleges must of course have some effect on students. A most destructive tendency in educational methods of to-day is the tendency to specialization in studies. Special training is good in many ways but may have also indesirable results, the worst being perhaps the narrowing and lessening of intellectual interests. Although colleges offer to students opportunities possibly not good in every respect, yet the students themselves must be answerable for the motive with which they use those opportunities. Do they specialize in their eagerness for truth, or do they wish rather the worldly advantage gained by being a master in something? The proper aim of colleges is hardly to prepare students for business, but to give them means of living a higher life than commonly goes on in the world. It is yet doubtful whether the method of educating by specialization can give assistance to such an aim. So long as breadth of view is thought to be inconsistent with accuracy, students, seeing how much more value the world sets on the latter, will probably continue to be influenced by sordid motives to become proficient in studies yielding the greatest financial benefit. Success in life does not consist in acquiring wealth, but in increasing perception of spiritual import beneath the surface of things; in ceasing to search for shadows and in striving for the great object of life, truth.
This outline was probably the most practical in its relation to college work of any that was delivered, and was presented in a very pleasing manner.
Hon. F. A. Stocks, class of '84, then delivered the Master's oration on "Constitutional Evolution." Mr. Stocks traced the growth of constitutional history down to the time of the adoption of our constitution, and then showed how "by amendment by interpretation, and by usage we have given beariugs to our constitution, which would surprise its framers. Yet, our people are loyal to its principles and ever will be. Mr. Stocks oration was a splendid effort, and e regret that we cannot reproduce it in full.
The program was very pleasantly, interspersed with music by the orchestra,and the exercises through out were honor to the senior class.

far off is a relief map of Athens and its neighborhood. Here, too, can be seen the beautiful Venus of Melos, the noble figure of the Emperor Augustus in his military dress, the striking and vigorous Borghese Warrior, and the graceful Germanicus [so called], all full-sized casts after the originals. There are busts also of Niobe, Eros, Minerva, the Apollo Belvedere, Homer, Socrates, Plato, Cicero, Vergil Julius Caesar, Nero, Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Septimus Severus, Commodus, Faustina the younger, and a Roman lady. A model over nine feet long of the east pediment of the Zeus temple at Olympia gives one in an instant a more correct idea of the pediment of an ancient temple than he could get from descriptions in a week. A relief map of Rome and a number of charts of Greek and Roman architecture in colors are on the walls, and examples of the large number of photographs and plates [many beautifully colored] at the command of the Greek and Latin departments occupy a large part of the wall space in the museum.
While it is not claimed that the prosecution of these studies will make an accomplished analytical chemist the student will make a good start in this direction. The foundation of this work is Quantitative Analysis, with special reference to accurate methods for the determination of the more abundant elements. The student, as he becomes more skillful, is taught to make complete analysis of minerals, waters, ores of iron, zinc, lead, copper, &c. He is also taught the modern commercial methods for the analysis of milk, butter, sugar and alcoholic liquors. Considerable attention is also paid to the more accurate volumetric methods. By the study of Chemical Physics the student becomes familiar with the modern theories and methods for calculating results. Organic Chemistry discusses the constitution of the more complex bodies, and the methods of building them up from simpler bodies. Mineralogy is taught through the aid of blow pipe analysis. The effort is made to cultivate familiarity with the appearance and characteristics of the most important minerals
The rooms are large and well lighted, and ample room is provided for individual work. Each student is supplied with the apparatus required for his work and is expected to pay only for that which is broken or destroyed. A complete record of all experiments and analysis must be furnished to the instructor in charge.
A term's work is given in the Freshman year to the study of chemical elements and their compounds with experimental work and laboratory practice. A half term follows in the Sophomore year in qualitative analysis with lectures and laboratory work. The first of these subjects is required of all collegiate students; the second of all scientific students. The mastery of these more elementary topics prepares the way for the optional courses, twelve of which are offered the student. A combination of these under the rules for the selection of optionals forms with a few topics chosen from other departments what is called a Course in Applied Chemistry. This course, limited to the Junio and Senior years, comprises the following:
Grinnell, Iowa, has a "Brief-Spelling Association," which is accomplishing something in reforming our spelling Through its efforts the past two years the State Teachers' Association adopted the reform spelling in thirteen words: ar, catalog, defnit, gard, giv, hav, hed, liv, shal, tho, thru, wil, wisht. Some months ago the Secretary of the Brief-Spelling Association addressed notes to the leading educators, asking their opinions about the progress of spelling reform, etc. Robert Burdett responded in a characteristic letter: "If you had written to me about this reform thirty-five years ago, or perhaps a little longer than that, I would have called you blessed, because I was spelling your new way then, and was daily being whipped out of it."—Industrialist.
This is a new department in our University life and work. Its primary aim is to illustrate classical studies, Greek, and Latin. A secondary result of it, no doubt, will be the cultivation of taste which comes from contact with the noblest and most beautiful models. Here can be seen, grouped together in close proximity, examples of all the varieties of sculpture the great geniu of Pheidias conceived for the decoration of the noblest building of the Greeks, the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens. Casts of three plates of the frieze of the temple show us a part of the great Panathenaic procession and three of the sitting divinities into whose presence the procession is marching. Three metopes show combats of a Greek and a Centaur in various stages of the fight, and give a glimpse at the variety of workmanship on the sculptures under the one guiding hand of Pheidias. And between two metopes stands the colossal figure in the round, of the reclining youth from the east pediment. Near by stands a model, 3 feet 8 inches by 2 feet 6 inches, of the Acropolis in its present condition, with the Parthenon itself, which all these sculptures decorated, and two plans of its summit; while not very

so that they may be readily recognized. In the course of Assaying while particular at ention is paid to the fine assay of gold and si ver ores, the methods for the volumetric determination of bullion are taught as well as some methods for the assay of coal and of ores, of lead, iron, mercury and copper. In Toxicology the most approved methods for the detection of poisons are studied and this is supplemented by practical work in the laboratory upon the separation and identification of poisons in the presence of organic matter. The laboratory facilities are excellent.

Department of Civil Engineering F.O.Marvin and E C. Murphy.
The course in Civil Engineering was the first of the special courses to be established. The work has grown in importance and expanded in scope, keeping pace with the continual improvement going on in the University as a whole. Its aim is not that of a purely industrial school, nor does it seek to turn out tradesmen but rather to develop a sound basis on which the student may build, by a thorough study of the principles of science which underlie engineering operations. While engineering is founded on exact science, it is by no means exact itself, but consists of a constantly varying application of principles to practical problems; and this can be successfully done only through the exercise of good judgment on the part of those who are to furnish the salutions. Good judgment comes in most cases through close observation and personal experience in actual work, but to be right, it must be formed on a knowledge of good theory. The University then cannot send out skilled engineers, but she can and does graduate those who may become such, and who have a profession—not a trade.
Within the last twenty-five years the field of engineering has widened rapidly, so that now there is no other profession that demands so broad a scientific culture as that of the engineer. In recent modifications of the course of study, an effort has been made to meet the demand, resulting from this expansion, so far as it could be done consistently, taking into account the student's time and the thoroughness of his work. None but a phenomenal student could compass in four years the whole range of subjects which may come up in his practice.
The course as it now stands carries the pure mathematics through the calculus; it includes botany, chemistry. a year of physics, descriptive and practical astronomy, mineralogy, geology and enough of French and German to enable the student to read fairly at sight; in draughting considerable skill is given by practical problems, while the theory of drawing is studied in descriptive geometry, shades and shadows, and perspective; under surveying comes the subject of government land surveys, trigonometric surveys, geodesy, railroad work, levelling and topography; analytical mechanics, hydromechanics and resistance of materials form the basis for studies in construction, such as roofs, bridges, retaining walls, foundations, reservoirs, etc.; while municipal engineering is treated under the heads of
streets and pavements, water supply and sewerage; the forms of specifications and the laws governing contracts are also discussed.
Considerable practical work is done at various points in the course. Classes have run railroad lines, surveyed land, measured base lines, established city grades, planned sewerage systems, measured the flow of the Kansas river, etc., and students have acquired sufficient familiarity with instruments and field methods to enable them immediately to fill subordinate positions with credit.
The department is fairly well provided with apparatus, having engineer's transits, levels, compasses, barometers, &c., from various makers; a high grade level of precision; a large triangulation instrument similar to those used in measuring large triangles by the United States Coast Survey, made by Fauth & Co., of Washington, D. C.; a transit for secondary triangulation; a price current meter; an Olsen cement tester; as well as various minor appliances to illustrate sandy operations in the field work of an engineer.
That the course proves a good foundation and preparation for the practicing engineer is evinced by the success of those who have followed it, our graduates being scattered all over the west in responsible positions.

German Language and Literature William H. Carruth, Professor.
The last ten years have everywhere seen modern languages assume a greater importance in collegiate courses of study. The department of German, with which the other modern languages have been included until the past few years, has been fully alive to this movement, and by eneary and hard work has given to its courses a scope and a solidity that such courses yet mainly lack in our colleges. Ten years ago all instruction in modern languages was given by one "Assistant Professor of German, French, and Free-hand drawing." Mow the time of one professor is wholly taken by the instruction in German alone. Three of the four general courses give two and a half years to German, which insures a considerable familiarity of eye and ear with the language. So much is demanded not only by those to whom the practical ability to use it will be of service in their business among a population containing so many who still use it as their mother tongue and use no other, but also by all who expect to devote themselves to serious professional study, whether in fields of science or of literature; for that in
all departments of human knowledge "the best books are in German" is at least pretty generally recognized. The department seeks further to stimulate and satisfy a more ideal demand for an acquaintance with German thought and life as they have found expression in literature and art, for a knowledge of Lessing, Schiller, and Goethe as force in the world of their day and of ours. This is especially the aim of the advanced optional work. This year the second part of Faust has been read; the first part of Faust and Lessing's Laocoon are offered for the future. This part of the work will now be expanded as the assistant, Mr. —— will set free the time of the professor now absorbed by the work of lower classes. The special student of German language and literature will find in the library a constantly growing collection of the works of the more important writers, and the necessary apparatus of texts, grammars and dictionaries for the study of both newer and older forms of the language—Middle High German, Old High German, Gotbic. To oke out the bare text the beginning has been made of a collection of casts, photographs, engravings, etchings, maps, etc., illustrative of German life, manners and art in the past and present. This collection will be constantly added to. An appropriation for that purpose is now available.

COURIER SUPPLEMENT.
Law Department. University Hall was again crowded Tuesday morning on the occasion of the graduating exercises of the Senior Law Class. After invocation by Dr. Marvin, Mr. Bruno Hobbs in a very clear, concise and pleasant manner outlined "The Growth of Our System of Justice." Mr. Hobbs is a graceful and forcible speaker. Mr. C. M. Enns then discussed in a well-written thesis "The Exemption Laws of Kansas," setting forth his views with a touch of that humor which always makes his style pleasing.
Mr. T. A. Pollock, in his oration on "Codification," made a strong plea against the interference of the judiciary with the legislative branch of government by means of interpretation of legislation.
The debate,Resolved, "That the protective feature in our tariff law is repugnant to the spirit and letter of our constitution, was ably" presented on the affirmative by Mr. L. A. Stebbins and on the negative by Mr. A. C. Mitchell. They combatted each other in true lawyer style, each maintaining his position and defending his ground with arguments from the same decision of the Supreme Court.
Perhaps the oration most pronounced in thought, diction and style was "The Lawyer and the Clergyman," by W. D. Bishop, in which he severely reprimanded pettifoggers, both in law and in religion, and prayed for honesty in both.
program and the thoroughness of the work done in their department
Mr. G. W. Harrington in a very pleasing manner spoke on "The Study of Law as an Aid to Citizenship," and by a careful course of reasoning showed why our people should be fully acquainted with their legal rights.
Music by the Addie Jewell Orchestra of Topeka enlivened the occasion. The Laws are to be congratulated on the excellence of their
Department of Mathematics. E Miller and Olin Templin.
The regular undergraduate study of students in mathematics embraces the following subjects: (a) the theory of equations; (b) solid geometry; (c) trigonometry; (d) analytical geometry; (e) differential and integral calculus; [f] method of least squares; [g] determinants; [h] quaternions. Candidates for honors, post graduate students, and competent undergraduates will take up subjects in advanced study and research that will be changed from year to year, according to circumstances. The university library has quite a good collection of mathematics by French writers, to which will soon be added some by German authors. It is expected that many of these books will be read in the original by graduate students.
Special assistance and encouragement will be given to those who have the requisite taste and ability for undertaking and following out original investigations whenever it seems advisable to do so by the instructors. Students will also be assisted in the selection of subjects which in their hands promise to be fruitful of results. But in no case will a student receive help when he has the ability to help himself, nor will he be allowed to retain his position in the pursuance of advanced work when he gives evidence of being beyond his depth, or neglects to attend to his business. Candidates for admission to the Freshman classes in mathematics should be thorongnly conversant with the whole of Higher Arithmetic, including a good working knowledge of the Metric System, with Algebra as far as to the chapter on Logarithms in any good
Higher Algebra; with plain geometry, including the book on planes and solid angles.
We had intended giving each department a short description, but the Professors got their copy in so late that it was impossible to print it on time. For this reason some departments are represented while others are not.
At the meeting of the Board of Regents, Tuesday, Prof. Dunlap was made associate Professor of English and Mr. Spangler was made Chancellor exofficio during the summer. In this connection we wish to express a second time our regrets at the departure of Chancellor Lippincott, who has so efficiently filled the position. The best wishes of the Courier go with him in his new field.
