Beta Banquet to-night The Pui Psis entertain their lady friends this evening, They say Atheneum program eclipsed that of Orophilian. A Senior class of an even half hundred. How is that? LAWRENCE, KANSAS, JUNE 6, 1889. A great number of old students are here to commence. Each of the Literary societies presented a very creditable program last week. The new animals on exhibition in Snow Hall, attract a great deal of attention. Riggs still keeps the infants from entering the University during the exercises. The Senior Law class was tendered a dinner and reception in Snow Hall by the Law Alumni. The Classical Museum is in charge of H. White. Everything is arranged in a manner to show off well. Tuesday court adjourned in order that the Lawrence bar could attend the exercises of the Law class. The Junior response to the Senior Pharmacy pill speech, rather made the Seniors squirm towards the end. Hundreds of people were unable to find standing room in the chapel the evening of the Baccalaureate sermon. The Field Day sports are over, and considering the condition of the ground some splendid records were made. No weather could have been nicer than that which prevailed during the greater part of our commencement exercises. The ball game Saturday morning was between the University and the city club. The city club was badly beaten, as usual. The Art Exhibit at the south end of the second floor is as fine an exhibition or original work as was ever seen in this city. The styles in programs this year are exceedingly varied and all are not suited. We think it would be hard to suit some people. The Hall was crowded as usual last Sunday night to hear the regular commencement sermon. Many people were at the University as early as six o'clock. As the Barb Tug of War team was organized and the Fraternity team was not, the Barbs rightfully claim the championship, and are ready at any time to back that claim. Verily the Junior walketh in the paths of the Senior even though he deoth little foolish and ridiculous things—Senior, Caywood—Junior, Brewster. Observation may be taken any night between seven and eleven. Owing to an accident Rev. McPherson could not make connections with the proper train and hence could not deliver the address before the literary societies, Tuesday. It was a great disappointment to many. One member of the Senior Law class has shown such a spirit in regard to the payment of necessary commencement expenses that the rest of the boys consider him a disgrace to the class and to the Department. It is surprising to note the number of professors who have either already or will soon leave for the mountains, the coast, or the eastern home. May their rest be refreshing—they have accomplished a great and grand work—the class of 89 has a passport to the world. Pharmacists have met and banqueted, and it was decided that a druggist should just as pleasantly sell a postage stamp and a penny sponge as he does a $5.00 plush toilet set left over from last Christmas. That's our motto. Raymond and Dick. Come and welcome be. Field Day On Saturday morning the Field Day exercises began by a game of base ball. A game had been arranged with the Haskell nine. The game was not very interesting because the clubs were so unevenly matched. The score was 5 to 22 in favor of the University club. A series of tennis games were played in the park in which Armstrong and Sherman won doubles. A tennis match in singles was played on Monday to determine who should be awarded second, R. R. Whitman being conceded first. The finals consisted in a contest between F. E. Reed and Herb Armstrong, which resulted in favor of Reed; the score being 6-4, 6-4 in Reed's favor; and 6-2 in Armstrong's favor. Saturday afternoon a large audience collected on the ball ground to witness the afternoon program. Each contest was attended with much interest. The following is the result : 1. Heavy throw over head—Ed Smelser threw a 16 lb. dumb bell 34 ft., 7 in. C. W. Frederick took second. 2. Long throw—Frank Reed throw a base ball 298 ft. 3.

Owing to the want of time the remaining program was postponed till Monday afternoon, with the following result. 1. Standing high jump—won by C. M Watson ; record, 4 ft. 1 in. Sam Bennett. second. 2. Running, hop; step and jump—C. M Watson sat by a record of 36 ft. 3. High kick—A. W. Smith won 1st prize; record, 7 ft. 10 in. year.

The tournament of the Southwestern Tennis Association, which took place last Thursday and Friday at Excelsior Springs, was the most successful yet held; between three and four hundred people witnessing the games, which were exciting and closely contested throughout. The doubles were won by James H, and John S. Cravens, of Kansas City, who defeated J. H. Fanisle and E.C. Smith, of St. Joseph, the winner last year, by the following score: 6; 3. 5, 5; 5; 4; 6; 6; 2; 3. The singles were won by James Cravens, defeating J. H. Fanisle in two straight sets of 6,1; 6,2. There were ten entries in the open tournament, which was won by D. P. Mann, of Kansas City, beating N. A. Hardee, of St. Joseph, in three straight sets of 6, 4; 6; 4; 6, 1. The prizes were, for the singles, a fine nine- cup cup, valued at fifty dollars, and a Seers' Special Racket; for the doubles, two imported silk tennis caps and belt; for the open tournament, a Seers' Special Racket t. James H. Cravens is a graduate of Williams, '87, and now attends the Columbia Law School. He intends going to the tournament at Newport, Rhode Island in August. J. H. Fanisle is a graduate of Yale, and was for three years the champion tennis player of St. Louis. His strong play is in his magnificent placing. D. P.

Now we do not question the ability of the gentlman to use the word, appropriately, for experience has taught him its full significance; but we should have thought that a conscious shame would have forced him to use any other word in the dictionary.

A succession of society entertainments, addresses by eminent men, and Com- mencement exercises of the Phar- macy, Law and Collegiate Classes. OROPHILIAN—ATHENEUM. The program rendered by Orophilian last Friday evening and that presented by members of the Athenaeum literary society on the following evening were flattering testimonials of the character of the work done in those societies the past year. When we consider the fact that Athenaeum has been established but two years and that Orophilian at the age of twenty two has just sustained a severe shock while passing through the period of her "teens" and is just cutting her wisdom teeth, the programs rendered are indicative of a bright future for both of the societies. The alumni from the good old days of Oread and Orophilian, who may have heard these programs, were doubtless somewhat surprised, for it must be admitted that throughout they did not equal the records of the past. Notwithstanding some of the speakers showed a lack of experience and training, yet no one can recall much better efforts than were made by Messrs. H. F. M. Bear and C. P. Chapman as orators; Messrs. Hall and Hadley as debaters or Miss Florence Reasoner as an essayist. Taken in their entirety the programs as presented showed much thought, pains and literary research, and the success of these societies is assured. BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS. The Baccalaureate sermon was preached last Sunday evening in University Chapel by Rev. Dr. Tuttle of Baltimore. One of the largest audiences of Commencement week greeted the speaker and listened to the words of spiritual advice given to the graduating class. The text was very appropriately taken and the whole sermon was as the Doctor had announced, a plain talk to the graduating classes. Dr. Tuttle showed how essential it is that those leaving the University and going out to take part in the battle of life, possessed as they are of culture and education, should also possess that spiritual life and culture which is the foundation of character, and the source of all true success and great achievements. Dr. Tuttle's address was one of the ablest and most instructive that has been delivered at the University for a numbea of years, and it left a deep effect for good not only upon the Seniors, for whose benefit it was given, but also upon all who were fortunate enough to hear it. Like the Pharmacists the Laws were at their best on last Tuesday morning. They rendered by far the best program that has ever honored that department. Although long, the exercises were listened to with the closest attention and all were impressed with the eloquence, sound argument and fine appearance of those participating. This Department has surely made great advancement in the ment in the past few years, and the class which it sends forth this year to administer justice in our State is a credit to the Department and an honor to the University. The exercises LAW COMMENCEMENT. were, without doubt, among the best of the week. CLASS DAY. The efforts of the Senior class have at last been rewarded. A large audience greeted their Grator, Mr. S. A. Harvey, and Prof. J. H. Canfield who had been invited to deliver the address. The four collegiate classes had marched to their allotted places in chapel in a very orderly manner, and all listened most attentively to the addresses of the day. Lack of space alone forbids that we give an outline of both. Prof. Canfield's good sound advice and his eloquent plea for truth, morality, and conciliousness in all things great and small, when considered as presaging the advance of another Senior Class into life's conflicts, were most fitting. After a song by the entire Senior Class and a salute to the chapel, the entire assemblage adjourned to the campus. Here was enacted a drama both novel and crude. The Seniors might be seen at one time headed by the drum corps, parading the grounds followed by all their dignity, and again their wild war-whoops of Rock-Chalk-Jay-Hack-Argent-or '89 and numerous cheers as they marched to the salute of each building, may have led some of the crowd which followed them to believe that they were yet unregenerated barbarians instead of noble Seniors now so wise. But the Seniors did not make all the noise for as they went on their rounds they were greeted by the other collegiate classes stationed at the various buildings. Cheer upon cheer was mingled with the pleasant, witty and often touching addresses of welcome and farewell tendered by Chancellor Lippincott at the main building, Prof. Snow at Snow Hall, and Prof. Bailey at the Chemistry building. After all this, still there was "more to follow" for then come the "drinking to healths" in the "quadrangle." The only objection we heard urged to this was that the Seniors did all the drinking. They the class tree—surely such an enterprising class at that of '89 could not dispense with that and a young catalpa, with all due ceremony, was planted in a conspicuous place on the campus. This act closed the exercises of the day and all seemed well satisfied that the future success of a class to which the honor of inaugurating such interesting exercises belongs was not to be questioned. Certainly some parts of the ceremony may be improved upon, but considering the fact that this was the first attempt to celebrate Class Day in this manner, the whole affair cannot but be regarded as a success. FACULTY JUNIOR RECEPTION. Following out the custom established by the class of '88, the Seniors had made ample arrangements for entertaining the Faculty and Juniors in the art room and the lecture rooms adjoining. If we may gain any inference from the hearty manner in which Prof. Wilcox in behalf of the Faculty, and Harvey Bear in behalf of the Juniors, responded to Miss Kate Merrill's call for toasts, we should say that this part of the day's program was much enjoyed and formed a fitting close of one of the most pleasant Class Day's in the History of K. S. U. PHARMACY DAY. The anniversary of the Department of Pharmacy was held in University Hall on Monday, June 3d. The alumni association of that Department held an annual meeting in the afternoon and a banquet was given in the evening. The morning exercises consisted of addresses from the Senior class as follows: Salutatory, by Robert Parker; Schools of Pharmacy, by E. W. Morris; Class History, by Denton Hogeboom; Pill Speech, by Alfred T. Webb and Junior response by E. S. Bessey. In addition there were addresses by Hon. F. A. Faxon, of Kansas City, and Dr. Robert S. Drake, Beloit, President of the State Board of Pharmacy. The parts were interspersed with selections by the Addie Jewell Orchestra, of Topeka. In the afternoon at the alumni meeting papers were read and questions were discussed relating to the profession, officers elected, etc., There were about sixty persons present at the banquet in the evening, Mr. B. W. Woodward, who acted as Toast Master, in his happy, sparkling style, kept the guests in a lively mood by the humorous manner in which he introduced the toasts and called on the speakers. The toasts were as follows: The Coming Botanist, Prof. Snow; The Alumni, F. L. Abbey; The Newly Fledged' L. W. Snepp; Graduates in General vs. Graduates in General, Prof. Sayre; Quod Medicamente vis emere, Prof. Robinson; Adeeu to Faculty, Dr. Brown; A Kansas Phar macist, Dr. Moore. A Sad Farewell Another day and much of the beauty and chivalry of the "Historic City" will have decamped. There will have been the parting "good bye;" the "be sure and write to me" expression with all its attendant tremulousness and longing, there will have been the hoarse and unwelcome grating of the car wheels as the train leaves the station, the last lingering glance, the swift ride home, the happy greeting, and then the momentous questions "What shall I do to be saved?" this summer. Fourteen long weeks stretch our like a blank before the eyes of many. Some will go to the mountains and will there revel in that "Rocky" region of rare atmosphere and stubborn burrows. They will drink in the delicious coolness of mountain air; they will camp out on the brink of some awful precipice; will sit on a cracker box and cook eggs on an electric jack, will grow tanned and tawny, will fill their lungs with Indian whoops and their minds with pale ghost stories, and will come back next fall ready to flood the Review with an overwhelming account of hair breadth escapes, midnight vigils, grizzly bear reminiscences (clipped from some back woods magazine) and will tire in telling of the "delightful gorgeous" times and the "perfectly lovely scenery. There are a few however, who will not go to the mountains, but will do the resuscitation act at home. These few constitute the majority. Of these few, some will make up back studies and do an unparalleled amount of reading; some will help mother in the "culinary" department and grow proficient in the preparation of knickknacks and jim-jams; some will sprain their ankles at tennis or base ball; some will engage in business at their respective homes, and others will probably do something else. But there is one cool calculating specimen of humanity to which we would especially ask you to direct your attention. Its figure is clean and gaunt; there is a hungry, wavering expression about its countenance, it has much speculation in its eye; it goes about from house to house with something under its arm; it advances cautiously towards each domicile, taps gently on the door, is very polite and glides over the threshold with the fortitude of Hamlets ghost, its tongue is of platinum coated with silver, and can be drawn out to a great length. It has a great affinity for weather topics and dead relations and can entertain you delightfully for two hours, while the baby in the next room is trilling its morning lay, and the fire is going out in the cook stove. This specimen of humanity is commonly known as a book agent. He is to be found among the students and will be working his rounds this summer. Please be kind to him. You may say what you please about the book agent, but there are no flies on him—unless unfortunately there is an inside hook on the screen door. We who intend summering in Lawrence, bid all ye outsiders a fond farewell. May prosperity attend you all in your undertakings, and may Lawrence be enlivened with your presence again next fall. This last statement will not exclude you from stopping off at any time during the summer. Lawrence, with all her greenness—of trees and vegetation; Lawrence, with her tennis courts and picnic parks, bids you a fond ta-ta. We trust three months will recruit your shattered health and convalesce your pocket books. Department of Chemistry. In this department during the past year many advances have been made, while the work of the classes remain about as last year. The added facilities have given better opportunities for extended instruction. For the illustration of lectures new apparatus has been provided. Particular attention has been directed to the complete equipment of a laboratory for sugar analysis, in accordance with the increased demand for sugar chemists; consequent on the growth of the sorghum sugar industry of this state. For the first time the Senior Class in Pharmacy had instructions in graiometric and volumetric analysis. The nickled, the simpler process of analysis such as the determination of Iron, copper, zinc, soda, silver etc. Pharmacy has instructions in geometric and volometric analysis. The nickled, the simpler process of analysis such as the determination of Iron, copper, zinc, soda, silver etc. On account of a better division of labor, it has been possible to assist the student more in their laboratory work, and to keep the rooms in a much mere attractive condition. The cabinet of one has been received from the main building, and set up in the essay room in the basement. Two other cases have been fitted out with minerals and with specimens, illustrating industrial chemistry. A large order has been sent to Europe, and with the opening of next year a variety of new apparatus and a number of rare chemicals will be at the disposal of the department.

The Class in gra- nalysis. access of ofition of ever over session of assist oratory ans in a dition. received set up in Two out with illus, illus- a large cope, and a vari number depo In the beginning of the present school year one of our law students proposed, let us bury the Kent Club with all the tenderness we are capable of, and then join the Orophilian or the Athenaeum, two literary societies of the University. This sounded very seditious, and a strong class spirit assured the existence of Kent Club for another year. Now at the end of the year it certainly is very appropriate to look back and to consider if we really have been benefited by a continuation of the club. It must be considered even by the warmest friends of the club, that all our meetings, with the exception of a few interesting moot court nights, have been most miserable failures. Our exercise, as a rule, showed very little preparation, and the few good speeches that were made were listened to by a family circle of 5 to 10 members. It was a sick, languishing creature, this club; frequent elections and two new constitutions were necessary to prevent it from subsiding into innocuous desuetude. We may censure our law students for lack of interest, if we wish, but that would not remedy the matter, besides it is well known that the great majority of students in our department are earnest and studious young men, who have laid aside childish things and who are willing to support any movement that will aid them in their studies and give them an opportunity to improve. The Kent Club, as now constituted and managed, does not seem to be adapted to the needs of the law department. As a purely literary society it has never commanded audiences large enough to furnish an incentive to ambitious young speakers to do their best, and moreover the very generality of the subjects discussed, makes the exercises quite insipid and uninteresting. The same experience has been made by the literary societies of Collegiate department; they, too, have languished for want of definite work, and for want of an audience. But these may be revised again and made to have a useful purpose in the University, if the department of English and of Elocution would only extend to them that fostering care to which they by right are entitled. But there certainly exists no reason in the world why the Kent Club should be continued as aliterary society of the law department. Many law students undoubtedly will next year take studies in the other departments, as tuition has been abolished, and it ought not to be difficult for them to join the students of those departments in their general literary efforts. But shall we discontinue our own Kent Club on that account? Certainly not! There remains a noble mission for a law organization in the University. The suggestion made by Mr. Workman that we confine the exercises of the club to legal and political matters only, certainly deserves our careful attention. The Science Club, the Political Science Club, and the Philological Club follow definite lines of inquiry, and they all meet with success. They have definite subjects to speak about, their work is intimately connected with the curriculum of their respective departments and the members feel that they cannot afford to stay away from the meetings. Now let the Kent Club once become in fact a society of earnest young lawyers, whereby a wise division of labor the whole field of legal knowledge is rummaged, all the proceedings of legislative bodies are carefully reported, and the law reporters and law journals made to yield a full, rich harvest, then certainly no lack of interest would imperil its existence. The Science Club subscribes to a large number of scientific magazines and numbers among its members 304 professors. On the shelves of the library you find numerous philological treatises, and the meetings of the Philological Club are attended by at least 5 professors. The Kent Club of the future should have access to all the best law reporters and law journals of this continent, and a few European periodicals would do no harm. Moreover our law professors should take active part in the work of the club; for their efforts are needed to give to the University of Kansas a Law Club that can compare favorably with its sister clubs in the other departments, a Law Club which will ornament their own department and reflect honor on our growing institution of learning. Kappa Alpha Theta. Last Friday evening was the occasion of the most delightful social events of the school year. The occasion was the Annual Commencement Reception, given by the young ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta. Since the establishment of this fraternity in the University the Annual Commencement Reception has been a marked feature in the social life of the University. Many of the Alumni from different parts of the state were present; they, together with the friends and invited guests of the fraternity presented a gay and fashionable throng. The hall was beautifully and artistically decorated and nothing was wanting to make the surroundings as pleasing to the eye as possible. The supper, which was prepared by the young, ladies consisted of everything the season afforded and was highly relished by all present. After supper dancing was engaged in until a late hour while those who were unable to dance, whiled away the happy hours in conversation and social amusement. Altogether it was an occasion that will be remembered with delight, a scene that will be recalled with pleasure by all who witnessed it. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Henley, Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Field, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Webster, Mr. and Mrs. Herb Beaty, Prof. and Mrs. MacDonald, Dr. and Mrs. Lippincott, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Lewis, Mrs. D. C. Haskell, Mrs. W. L.

In spite of unfavorable atmospheric condition a fair audience assembled to listen to the graduating recital of Mr. John C. Manning. Mr. Manning has long been known to the students of the University and the people of the city as a student of remarkable ability. He graduates from the department of Music with a record of which he himself may be proud and for which Prof. MacDonald deserves congratulations. Mr. Manning was assisted in his recital by Miss Josephine Hutchings who rendered her selections in her most happy manner. Mr. Manning appeared at his best and elicited much applause for his unusually happy rendition of the beautiful Classical Compositions. Mr. Manning is the fourth graduate of the department. He will complete his musical education in the Boston Conservatory of Music. Mr. Manning has made many friends during his residence in Lawrence as a student, and will bear away with him their best wishes for success in his new field of musical endeavor. Mr. Manning was the recipient of a unique floral design from Phi Delta Theta, and an elegant souvenir from the Theory class, of which he was a member. The following is its program : I—(a) Seeling.

STILL he ranteth; the Courier man as if in the last agonies, gatherer all the vile epithes of his command and in a two column harangue, proveth to his readers,—not already convinced,—that our exchange editor cut a deep dash with his little scissors. In another column our "Clipper" has invalidated his testimony by a gentle reminder of the character of the witness. We always wish to give thanks for free advertisements and this done we will pass as undeserving of notice, all accusations save the single one which to the unknowing ones, might have the semblance of truth. We were charged with having clipped the report of the Science Club from the Tribune without due credit. A few facts may explain. Mr. E. E. Slosson has for the past year reported the doing of the Science Club for the Times. In this instance, as is often the case with other papers, substantially the same report was given both to the Times and the Tribune. Now suppose a correspondent for the Kansas City Times and the Chicago Tribune sends the same report to both papers and it happens to appear first in the Tribune, is the Times obliged to come out the next morning and credit its report, from its own correspondent, to the Tribune? Manifestly not. See? Another score for Mr. Rusticus. Come again. Accessions to the Library. 300 sociology. Bruce. James. The American Commonwealth. 2 vols. New York, 1888. 89. 342. 973. Burhans, J.

A student tremblingly recites to a professor, who blushes under a rebuke from a State Senator, who is humiliatingly denied an audience by a president who is later driven from his official position into private life by the sovereign will of a people. Thus the round of life. Greatness is only relative, and further is dependent upon the standard of measurement. If this standard be innocence and purity, all must "become as little children." If it be physical development, contrast the bronzed and sturdy savage around with his warclub, with the sallow complexioned, delicate Europeon, with pencil* and tablet in hand. Only Relative. If moral and not physical courage be the measuring rod to be applied, the Napoleon and Caesar of history must give place to the thousands of silent men and women who live and lie, it may be unknown, but suffering crucial tests of moral courage. But even with this last, which seems to be the true criterion by which to judge men, how the differences disappear when viewed from the standpoint of infinity. How the mountains disappear in the plains and we are made to feel there is not so much difference between men after all. If it be money or the social or political position bought thereby, the classification will be far different from that founded upon intellectual attainment. Invitation to Strangers.

Dear Sir—In Arduous examination, I notice that my ordination examination would be held in a fortnight. I had only ten (10) days in which to prepare for the Exam. I should recommend a year's preparation in the case of any one so utterly baffled or so weak in his strengthened my natural memory that I was able to remember and give the gist of any book after reading it once. I therefore read Lightfoot, Proctor, Orrery and Fitzgerald and was successful in every one of the nine papers. The present Bishop of Edinburgh knows the facts.
