As a result of a feeling on the part of those interested in both the Times and Courier, that two weekly papers were more than could be published profitably in the University, the parisans of both papers have agreed to suspend the publication of their respective papers and to unite in the publication of a new weekly on which both sides would have an equal representation. This effort has culminated in the publication of the UNIVERSITY, KANSAN and thosewho have undertaken the management of it for the present, will spare no endeavor to make it a credit to the University. Factions will be unknown in its columns.
No old student can help but be glad that the fight of last year is not to be repeated. New students who know nothing of the controversy are to be congratulated that it is so. In the
future it is the hope of the UNIVERSITY KANSAN that no more such disputes will arise, and that all the students will be united in the endeavor to publish a paper in the interests of the University.

This year more than ever before the demand for good rooms for students has been hard to fill. The question of rooms for students is becoming a serious one. Any number of inferior rooms may be obtained, but desirable rooms are exceedingly scarce, and if the number of students continues to increase as it has the past years without any increase of the number of rooms for rent, it would be a profitable investment for somebody to build houses especially suited for rooming. This plan has been tried and found to work well in other schools, and there is no reason why it will not here.
PERHAPS nothing has ever met with such hearty approval from the students and the friends of the University generally, as the appointment of Prof. Snow as president of the faculty.
Prof. Snow has the entire confidence of all who know him, and while he is at the head of the faculty, everyone feels that the management of the affairs will be in competent and willing hands.
It would probably be useless to make the usual statement that "the University never opened with such bright prospects before," but to persons in Lawrence several days before the term began it appeared that the number of new students arriving was unprecedented. This not only appeared to be the case, but really was. Although there were as many rooms to rent as usual, there were fewer vacant rooms on the first day of the term than on the same day of any previous year.

ONE of the noticeable things to an old student returning to the University, is the improvement in the library, both in the amount of space and the appearance of the rooms.
The Law room has been added to the library, new tables have been placed in the rooms, and everything has been repainted and revarnished, giving the place a much neater and inviting appearance. Much of this is due to the efforts of the Librarian, Miss Watson, and the students who use the library are to be congratulated that some one, so thoughtful of their interests, is in charge of it.
In other evidences were wanting to prove the esteem that is had for our University by educated men, the recent action action of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity in granting a charter to the University would suffloiently establish the fact.
Phi Beta Kappa is an honorary society, and good scholarship is a qualification for membership. K. S. U. is the first University west of the Mississippi that has been considered of sufficient standing to receive a charter from this society and it is certainly an event of which to be proud.
The roll of the fraternity contains the names of such men as Profs. J.
H. and A.G.Canfield, Prof.Wilecox and Prof.Marsh which is a sufficient assurance of the high standing of the fraternity, to all acquainted with these gentlemen.

New students entering the University are always anxious to know something about the Literary Societies, Athletic Associations, etc.; and in order that they may get this information, the KANSAN will endeavor to give a short account of each one, so that a student desiring to join any of them may know what they are and the aims of each.
Of Literary Societies, there are three : Orophilian, Athenaeum and Palladium.
Orophilian is the oldest of these, having had an unbroken existence almost from the foundation of the University. The literary work is of a high class and meetings are held every Friday evening at 8 p.m. in Orophilian Hall, on the third floor, North, of the University building. Interesting programs are presented at all of these meetings and visitors are always made welcome.
Athenaeum holds its meetings at the same time as Orophilian in Oread Hall, third floor South, University building. Athenaeum has been in existence since the spring of '87, and it has all the energy of youth, and the character and value of its work is unsurpassed by that of any other society in the University. Anyone wanting plenty of good practice in literary work can find it in the hall of this vigorous young society.
Palladium was founded last year, for what reason, it is not known, as the two existing societies were all that the demand required. However it has been as successful as could be expected of so young a society. It meets every Saturday night in the court house.
Besides the literary societies the various departments of the University are represented by special organizations.
The Science Club holds meetings in Snow Hall every other Friday at 8 p. m. Although it was designed primarily for scientific students, it receives members from all departments of the University. Without saying anything unfavorable to any of the other associations, it is far to say that no society in the University is more prosperous or successful than the Science Club. The programs are always well prepared and interesting to all who attend. An annual meetis held at the close of each year at which papers on original work only are allowed. Visitors are cordially welcomed to all of its meetings with perhaps one exception, namely, the semi-annual "IT," to which mysterious jamboree none but members are admitted.
As its name implies, the Philological Club is devoted to the study of the origin and evolution of language. It has for its members principally those who are doing special work in this line, although it receives members from any department. The meetings are held in the Greek room every other Friday at 8 p.m. Visitors are welcome.
. The Political Science Club was organized in the spring of '88 by Prof.
J. H. Canfield, and its membership is limited to students in Prof. Canfield's department. The club deals with the topics of the day and endeavors to give its members an insight to the financial and industrial world. The meetings are always interesting to visitors.
The University Telegraph Club was organized in February, '88, by Prof. L. I. Blake. The idea of the club is to give the students of the physics department opportunity for practical work and original investigation. The number of members is limited to twenty-five. The line extends from the University to the Western Union office, thence into West Lawrence and back to the University making a complete metallic circuit. Standard time is received over the line every morning from the observatory at St. Louis.
The Oratorical Association of the Students of K. S. U. was organized Feb. 7, 1889, and is successor to the Oratorical Association, made defunct by the action of the state association at its last meeting, held in Emporia. The aim of the association is to promote the art of oratory.
The Foot Ball association was organized last year. It meets for praecery Saturday during good weather. Though a new association it has already developed several good players, and promises to hold a prominent place among the athletic associations.
The Base Ball association is the one that is a pride to every student. For two years the nine has not met with a defeat and it promises to continue with the same record this year
The University Tennis Association was organized in September, '87. Some of the best players in the state are enrolled among its members and its champion teams have won a fair share of the contests.
The Young Ladies Tennis Club was organized in March,'88. The young ladies belonging to it have become quite proficient in the use of the racquet and make very formidable rivals for their gentlemen friends.
Of the fraternities it is hardly necessary to speak, for every student that comes to the University soon learns all—and sometimes more than he wants to know—about them.
Beta Theta Pi, the first fraternity to enter the University, came in 1872. Almost at the same time the L. C. Sorosis, now known as the Pi Beta Phi fraternity established a chapter here. Phi Kappa Psi followed in '76, Kappa Alpha Theta, in '77; Phi Gamma Delta, in '82; Phi Delta Theta, in '82; Sigma Chi, in '84; Kappa Kappa Gamma, in 85; and Sigma Nu, in '86. Most of these fraternities have good chapters here and are in a flourishing condition.
We are indebted to Herb Hadley for taking charge of the locals and personals this week.
Improvements.
THE Review comes out to-day with Harvey Bear as editor-in chief and N. C. Brooks and W. E. Swank as business managers. The Review has always been a credit to the University and, with the above persons to direct its course, there is no doubt that it will continue to maintain its past high standard.
The old student as well as the new, will doubtless see much to admire when he first enters the University for the coming year.
Ceiling, floor and walls are bright and clean from a thorough overhauling. New matting has been placed in the halls. Swinging doors show the entrance to the spacious reading room. The arrangement of the room has been changed, and the furniture is more complete, which adds to its beauty and comfort. Miss Watson sits smilingly behind a brand new desk, and tickets as of yore, procure admission to the alcoves.
Here the greatest changes have been made. The old law room is now library room. The books have been entirely re-arranged, and the K. S. U. library is now one to be proud of. Many volumes have been added to it during the summer. Several thousand dollars worth of books are yet to be received this year. The change in the appearance of the library is about as marked as when it was moved two years ago from the south end to its present location.
The law room is now what was the ladies' cloak room; the evolution seems to be from hooks to crooks. The cloak room is now in the basement. The lunch counters have been removed to the old reservoir room, under the regents' room. Up stairs again, Prof. A. G. Canfield has moved back to his old quarters, and the painting and drawing rooms will be upon the third floor. These, with many other minor changes, constitute the improvements of the summer of eighty-nine.

The Board of Regents have not as yet selected a chancellor, but have made a temporary arrangement by which Prof. Snow will act as president of the faculty and Regent Spangler will attend to the financial affairs. It is probable that this arrangement will be continued throughout the year.
One of the things which should receive the immediate attention of all athletic students is our base ball nine. The nine should be organized imme- and the fall spent in practice. The success of the nine, during the past two years, should urge the players to try and retain their good record, for as much longer. There is no reason why the University should not always have not only the best ball nine, but the best football and tennis teams. Having over twice as many students as any other college in the State it is only necessary that the proper attention be paid to training, to secure and retain a leading place in all athletic contests between the colleges of Kansas..
To some it may seem that too much time might be called for to keep this up but the time is never wasted. This, however, is not the fact. The best students enrolled in the University are those that take the most interest in athletic sports, in the diamond, on the tennis court or in the various other athletic gatherings.
THE following extracts from a letter received last summer from Prof. F.H.Snow, one of the members of the party encamped in Colorado. will doubt prove interesting reading:
Since my first letter I have been putting in my time in a variety of ways. First, at putting up plants, and then by way of recreation have attended a "camp-fire" at Sprague's Ranch, half a mile above us, to which we were all invited. This was on Friday evening. Our K. S. U. boys and girls entertained the eastern tourists by singing the round of university songs under W. S. Franklin's leadership. After the camp-fire there was a notable dance in the dining room of the hotel. The participants were Misses Franklin, Fleming of Iowa (a friend of Nellie Franklin, who is camping with the Sutliff party) Jennie and Helen Suttliff and Messrs. Hadley, Kellogg, Brewster, Funston and W. S. Franklin. It was a killing sight (and sound) to watch Hadley and Funston attempt the light fantastic with heavy hob-nailed shoes. The landlady hastily hunted up some slippers, and Hadley was in his element at once, but Funston's slippers were so large that they kept coming off, when the landlady again came to the rescue by producing a pair of her own garters with which to fasten them on, but one of these broke almost immediately and Funston was obliged to give it up. Yesterday afternoon the young men at the Estes Park hotel, some five miles below our camp, insisted on a game of ball with our K. S. U. and being so anxious about it as to send teams to take us down and back we accepted the challenge and had a game. It consisted of only two innings on account of the interruption of a thunder storm, but we beat them by one tally stopping the game in the second inning, when
we had only one man out. I played center field, made two tallies, no outs and was left at base once.
The razor etc., arrived safely last night, but as no razors are allowed in the camp I have not yet opened the package.
These boys have a good cooking stove and bake nice yeast bread. Yesterday Funston picked about four quarts of nice red raspberries, at which occupation he was surprised by a bear which seemed equally surprised and beat a rapid retreat.
In Memory of Agnes Clarke.
WHEREAS, The Alumni of Kansas State University feel deep sadness at the death of Agnes Clarke, of the class of '84, and would seek some way in which to convey to those who mourn her early death, our sympathy with them in their affliction, therefore, be it.
Resolved, That in her death we have lost one possessed of high aspirations, and endured to us by her generous nature and high type of character, the memory of whose pure and noble spirit shall ever have an abiding place in our affection.
Resolved, That we extend to the bereaved family our sincere sympathy in their great sorrow over the loss of so devoted and true a daughter and sister, and tenderly commend them to the mercy and grace of our Heavenly Father, from whom alone cometh true consolation.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be entered upon the minutes of the Alumni Association of the University of Kansas, that a copy be sent to the family and that they be printed in the University and city papers.
The following letter from Mrs. A. G.Blackwelder in answer to an invitation from the Alumni Association, will be of interest:—
MORGAN PARK, ILL., June 22 '89.
PROF. M. W. STERLING, Chairman:
The notice is by your committee in regard to the late action of the Alumni Association is at hand.
It is with positive reluctance that I accept this duty; but believing as I do, that women who have shared with men the same advantages of education, should not shirk the responsibilities which may result therefrom, I cannot with consistency decline.
I cannot be insensible to the honor conferred in selecting me as orator for next Commencement, an especial honor. I believe, because the office is one hitherto but seldom filled by women.
I will do my best to deserve the confidence reposed in me by the "Alumni Association of the University of Kansas."
I have just returned from the east. I bought the largest, handsomest and cheapest stock of dress goods, silks, linens, hosiery, underwear, corsets, gloves, ladies' misses' and infants cloaks, carpets, curtains, rugs, etc. we have ever shown. An inspection is solicited.

If your rooms lack the requisites of brushes, combs, mirrors, etc., call and see what the "Round Corner" has to show. In perfumery a fine array awaits your selection. The finest goods at lowest prices.

The Man Who Didn't Advertise.
Come listen friends, I'll tell you
In wondrous words and wise.
About the man in our town
Who didn't advertise.
With fondest hopes he set up shop,
And filled his grocery high
With choice brands of every sort
T could please the taste or eye.
Around this man the papers swarmed,
To get an "ad" or so,
But never would he advertise— It wasn't anv go.
It wasn't any go.
Nobody knew he had a store
'T was never noised about)
( I was never noised about ) And in the tennis game of life
And in the tennis game of life He found it "vantage out."
His courage failed, his fortune failed
For debts his goods apprised
And all because, my gentle friend.
And all because, my gentle friend,
He never advertised.
MORAL-Advertise in the KANSAN
During the summer the University has been fitted up with excellent apparatus for protection in case of fire. We clip the following excellent description from the Lawrence Journal:
To a Journal man looking over the University building a striking feature were the
facilities forighting fire. Under the efficient superintendency of Mr. Crocker, a complete, and by ords the best facilities for protection from fire that the University has ever enjoyed, have been put in and the buildings are now perhaps as well, if not better, provided against fire as any in the West.
On the fourth floor of the main building there are two storage tanks of a capacity of sixty barrels of water each. From these mains lead to all the lower floors. On each floor there are two swinging hose racks, one on each side of the main corridor, and each rack carrying 100 feet of line linen 2 inch hose, with a brass nozzle of $ \frac{1}{4} $ inch aperture. This makes 800 feet of hose in the main building. There are also arrangements by which lighter and smaller hose can be attached to the mains and be used in janitor work and floor washing. Snow Hall and the Chemistry building are equally well cared for, there being 400 feet of hose in Snow Hall and 100 feet in the Chemistry building, in each case being sufficient to teach any and every part of the building. The storage tanks in the building are filled from cessers by a pumping engine, but to provide for the unlikely case of breakage of the pump so that the cistern water could not be used to fill the tanks, the tanks are connected by 4 inch mains with the city water works, and can then be filled direct from the city mains. Superintendent Crocker is proud, and dardonably so, of the arrangements for preventing a conflagration. The work has all been done under his personal supervision, and is honest and thorough.
The new coal-house is nearly ready for use. The foundation is put in with a view to sustaining a stone building of 14 feet corner walls. The original intention was to build a stone building with a driveway in the middle, and with the dumps so that loaded wagons might be driven in, and loads dumped with care. From lack of tunes, however, a frame building has been built, but so arranged that the only change required to return to the original plans will be the building of the stone walls. Cars run from the coal-house to the turfaces. The coal-house is 26 ft, by 48 ft, on the ground and has a capacity of 400 tons. In two weeks 150 tons will be put in.
Other general improvements are being made. In Snow Hall some new herbarium cases are being put in. This is a much needed improvement. The grounds are in excellent condition. Especially is this true of the part of the campus north and east of the main building.
THE following is an extract from a letter received by Prof. F. H. Snow from J. D. McLaren, a graduate of the University:
"As you will see by the heading of this letter, I have been released from teaching Biology in the Indianapolis High School. You will rejoice with me that on August 1st I was elected Professor of Natural History in the Maryland College. The College is near College Station on the B. & O. R., eight miles northeast of Washington, D. C., and towards Baltimore, which is thirty-two miles away. There is a very excellent collection of minerals, and a good herbarium. There are good skeletons of man, horse and cow. We have three fine Ziess microscopes, one of which cost $300. I think I am very fortunate in the professorship in the College, and in the location near the great Government Museums, and Johns Hopkins, and the ocean. I shall try to uphold the honor of Kansas State University and Snow Hall."

We find the following complimentary notice of two University boys by the Iola Register:
We observe that Vernon Kellogg and Will White are to taks charge of the editorial and local work on the Lawrence Journal. This lets out our good friend Col. Greene, we suppose, who has done good work and lots of it for the Journal these past eighteen months. But it lets in two mighty bright boys. Kellogg is the son of the Attorney General. White is well, he is Will White, who, in addition to being pretty, can get up more local with less news than any man in
Kansas. The Journal is to be congratulated.
An Extract from Regent Moody's Address.
[Delivered in University Hall, Friday, September 13, 1888.]
The University is the highest institution in the free school system of the state. To enter its halls and graduate from any of its prescribed courses is the crowning act of school life. All other schools of the state lead up to this. They are the seedcorn, the tender shoot or the stalk; this is the full grown corn in the ear. When fully equipped it is an institution which provides the means of acquiring the fullest, and the greatest, and completest information in any branch of learning. This is the ideal University. It is the place where the highest attainment can be reached in any special study, as well as thorough general instruction. It is the place for the specialist, where he can go to the utmost verge of scientific and literary investigation, even to the burning into the socket the flickering candle of wisdom. To this end the appliances must be multitudinous and complete. The known wisdom of the world must be here gathered in books, laboratories, instruments and teachers. And while we have not yet such an institution, it is one which the fathers of this state long since planned, and in good time will come. It is like everything else in this world, it is a thing of growth.
Around this central idea of the University will be gathered the different technical schools. And since classification is necessary to comprehend and define the material objects of the universe or the potencies of the mind, even down to the primordial atoms and forces, as it appears to me the departments and the schools of each department of a great institution of learning, must fall into line and be arranged in some natural order. Since Aristotle there has been no branch of learning taught or known without its classification. In the good time coming we shall quite likely have within the three departments of the Literatures, the Sciences and the Arts many schools. Within the department of the Literatures at least three, as follows:
I. The School of Philology; Where all the principal languages shall be taught, together with a history of their origin, their mutations, their interdependence and cognates.
III. The School of Rhetoric; Where shall be taught reading, oratory, the elements of criticism, poetry, prose and all studies and exercise connected with the use and construction of the sentence of the English language.
II. The School of History; Where shall be taught the story of the world's people, comprising their laws, customs, commerce; their distribution and personal habits; the origin of races, their migrations, amalgamations and extinctions; a vast field for the archaeologist.
In the department of the Sciences there should be at least eight schools, and first schools pertaining to inanimate nature;
1. The School of Mathematics; Pure and not applied.
V. The School of Biology: In which would be taught metaphysics, mental and moral philosophy, logic and in short all laws and sciences pertaining to the mind.
IV. The School of Astronomy. Those pertaining to animate nature might be as follows:
II. The School of Physics.
III. The School of Chemistry.
which have been determined from time immemorial.
In the department of the Arts, we would naturally have three schools,
II. Painting.
III. Architecture.
1. Music.
* * * * * *
That we have not all these schools, and that we have not as complete a University as the above classification would indicate, it is simply because it is young yet, and the state is too poor to supply the camp and garrison equipage. Seventy-five thousand dollars a year is a very small sum of money to be expended annually for this high mental food demanded by the hungry minds of the young people of the state, and the sum appears at its true size when we come to figure it according to the per cent on each dollar of taxable property. It takes just about two-tenths of a mill on the dollar to raise this sum; which is just twenty cents on one thousand dollars of assessed property, and which means twenty cents for every three thousand dollars of wealth in the state; for property is listed at about one-third of its true value. The University then in my opinion has gone beyond the political cry of the pauper and demagogue. It has reached that point in its growth which insures not only its existence, but its power. There is no turning back, nor standing still; it will move with an irresistible momentum onward. It will daily gather to itself friends who will ever be on the alert to defend and aid it. Some wrathful modern political Titan may swear in his soul to shake it down from Mount Oread, but the lightning from the people's Olympics will annihilate him. The chancellor, professors, employees and regents may all come and go; their work at most is only ephemeral; their day is soon done; their light soon goes out; their power soon ends. Each in his turn must go out while others come in; but the University, that mightly incorporeal soul of aggregated wisdom which is housed within these temples of learning, that will live; that is permanent. It will last while the throbbing heart and brain of the millions which people our state pray for the divine light of knowledge. Its life does not depend upon the contingency of chancellor, professor or regent. When I look down into your bright eyes and countenances I can see the future promise and hope and stability; nay the immortality of the University.
While the University has doubtless passed beyond its babyhood, it is quite certain is has not reached full manhood. It has not the physical and financial endowment required for this, but it has great mental activity and exhibits that vitality which insures long life. It has had a long struggle not exactly for existence, as Darwin would put it, but a struggle to get beyond a poor existence. The professors have had to make its cause their own, and in some instances donate part of their salaries to it, and their labor in vacation, and build museums of natural history, and go poor and ragged in their heart's devotion to its interests. But I am glad to say that during all of its early trials and viscissitudes, the underlying and settled principle of the University has never been shaken. It is, that there shall be established and supported by the state, for the benefit of the inhabitants of the state, an institution, where the humblest child without regard to sex, color or financial condition may be educated; where the greatest learning and highest culture may be had at the least expense, and where no sectarian tenet or political dogma may dominate. An institution of learning, where the priest and the politician may be heard, but where neither priest nor politician shall rule. You have perhaps heard much said of late about practical education. Don't be deceived by juggling phrases! Learn, young men and young women, at the outset, that all education is practical; that there
is nothing in fact practical without education; that knowledge precedes practice, action and use, and that these are only applied knowledge. The school is established to show you easy and pleasant paths, in and over which you can reach the practical. This is education, and out of this comes every power which man possesses over matter, or man.
The Opening Address.
An address, to the students of the University, by one of the regents could not help but be of interest to all students, and last Friday morning University Hall was well filled with students eager to listen to our distinguished regent.
The oration was clear, forcible and one of the best ever delivered on a similar occasion in the University. We would like to give to our readers the entire speech but cannot do it for lack of space. A part of the speech was devoted to the future of the University according to the Regents' idea of what it should be, and as there are many of our readers who were amenable to attend, the part in question is published in another column. From a perusal of the extract it will be seen that the Regents desire to see the work of the University very much widened in the course of the next few years, and if the past counts for anything, it will not be long before their desire is accomplished. If the plan as set forth in the address is carried out the University will be surpassed by none in the country, and it is needless to say that a speedy execution of this plan is the wish and hope of every student and friend of the University.
We have a sad event to record this week. All old students remember Frank Firestone who was here last year. He left his home at Anthony last Saturday evening for Kansas City. The same evening his father left Kansas City, and they undoubtedly passed each other on the road. Frank spent the day visiting Kansas City friends, and at 4 o'clock, just as he was about ready to leave for Lawrence, he received a telegram stating that his father had suddenly died of heart disease while on the train near Wichita. He reached Lawrence about 11 o'clock, and after settling up his affairs, set out at once for St. Louis to meet his mother and cousin, and take the remains to their old home in Lisbon for burial. Frank has our hearty sympathy in his great misfortune. It is extremely doubtful whether he will return to college this year.
A gratifying interest is being taken in our ball nine this year, and to tomorrow those managing the nine will endeavor to get the ground in condition for practice. Two circus rings are on the ground and it is desired to remove them. If each student will make it a point to go to the grounds to-morrow and do an hours work it will be a very easy job to get the grounds in good condition for practice. If no help is volunteered it will be more than the members of the ball nine can accomplish alone.
This work should receive the attenf of every student whether he plays ball or not. The ball nine is something to be proud of, and enough appreciation of it should be shown to call forth an hour's work.
A movement is on foot to endeavor to secure a course of lectures this winter. It is intended to have the course comprise five lectures. A ticket to the entire course is to cost only two dollars. The speakers are to be George Kenman, Nye and Riley, Robt. McIntyre, George W. Cable, and Hon. Will Cumback. Every one of these men have a national reputation. If one should be asked to pick out the six most familiar names of lecturers, it is safe to say that five of these six would be included in the above list of names. If any one of above named gentlemen were to lecture in Lawrence it is safe to say that half of the students of the University would pay the amount of the whole course to hear one of them, and to hear all of them for two dollars is a rare opportunity and every student in the University should avail himself of the chance to hear all of these lectures at the price of one.
Last spring when Nye and Riley were billed to appear here the tickets to the one lecture sold for two-dollars, the price of the entire course.
The following brief sketch of one of the prominent professors of the University is found in the Boston Musical Herald for September, and is highly complimentary to Prof. MacDonald, coming as it does from the leading musical periodical of the United States:
Mr. William MaeDonald was born at Providence, R.I., the son of Rev. William MaeDonald, a widely known and highly esteemed minister of the M. E. Church. He planned for a college course, but failure in health prevented the carrying out of that intention. The summer of 1881 was spent in England, and after two years of enforced idleness, he entered the Conservatory in January, 1882, and continued until graduation in 1884. He became organist of the First Congregational Church at Brighton, in 1882, and in 1883 of the Broadway M. E. Church, South Boston, devoting at the same time considerable time to teaching.
In June, 1884, Mr. MacDonald was elected Dean of the Department of Music in the University of Kansas, entering upon his duties in September following. This position he now holds. The work in music was at once entirely reorganized, complete courses of instruction provided, all with a view to keeping the musical work entirely in harmony with University work in other directions. Attendance from the first has been very satisfactory, and the department is now regarded as one of the strongest and most efficient in the institution.
Since going to Kansas Mr. MacDonald has organized the Kansas State Music Teachers' Association, of which he has been three times elected president. He also organized, and was for two years president of the Kansas School Music Association, an organization having for its object the introduction of music into the public schools; and he was for three years vice-president of the Music Teachers' National Association.

Mr. Mac the Kansas association, of names elected unified, and lent of the association, an object the to the public three years Teachers' the service
of these various organizations and of the University, he has traveled many thousand miles in the State, lectured frequently before associations of teachers and others, and written somewhat largely for the State press. A year he was director of the Handel and Hayden Society of Lawrence, and has recently been made president of the County Sunday-School Association.
Mr. MacDonald writes us that his private study has lain chiefly along this lines of musical history, theory, and general literature. He says "I have tried to supply as far as possible the lack of thorough collegiate training, feeling that no line of study can be unprofitable to me, and that all can be made to contribute to my special work as a teacher of the science and art of music."
We are glad thus to present to our readers another of those men, who, few in number but steady in purpose, are living out the conviction that music is not to be isolated but to be brought into vital contact with the experience of life, who believe in the subordination of technique to that for which technique exists, and in which alone it finds its raison d'etre.
In November, 1887, he married Harriet B. Haskell, daughter of Hon. J. G. Haskell, of Lawrence.
The simple recital of Mr. MacDonald's career in Kansas is sufficient to demonstrate his great usefulness, deserved success and promising future."
In Memoriam.
On this, the first anniversary of the death of Delia Churchill, the Alumni Association of the University of Kansas desire to express our sympathy with her family and our appreciation of her beautiful character and blameless life.
As a student she was conscientious and persevering. She received with much credit two degrees from the University.
Always firm in her friendships, faithful in her teaching, and true to her religious convictions, she will be remembered by many who rejoice that they knew her.
In church, in Sabbath school, at Haskell Institute and among the poor her gentle ministrations are missed, and the Young Woman's Christian Association mourns a devoted helper. In all she was so modest and unobtrusive that few realized how much was accomplished in her short life here. The Saviour she revered has taken note of the loving service and has crowned her with the reward of the faithful, while her influence on earth will yet be felt by many.
As a further mark of our respect and esteem, this resolution is spread upon the records of our Association, and a copy transmitted to the University papers for publication.

Visions of the coming forcenses are beginning to haunt the mind of the Junior.

Prof. Blake proposes to develop a machine shop at the engine house this year. He expects to put in about $3,000 worth of heavy machinery, such as drills, lathes and other machine tools. The idea is to make it a shop for general machine work. This promises to become a valuable addition to the University and is something greatly needed. A regular machinist is to be employed, and will probably be engaged next week.
Orophilian.
Orophilian held a very interesting meeting last Friday evening. The program opened with music, after which an address on the subject, "Our University," by E. L. Ackley. The speaker gave an interesting sketch of the growth of K. S. U., and predicted the brightest future for the institution. This was followed by an address by H. F. M. Bear on "Old Orophilian" in which he well sustained his reputation as an orator. G. O. Virtue next spoke on the topic College Habits. His ideas on the subject were to the point and common sense, and were expressed in a very forecible manner. After recess followed an interesting debate on the subject: Resolved. That a collegiate education enhances the chances for financial success.
The attendances at the meeting was remarkably good, due probably to the energy of the members in issuing notices to all the students and thereby calling their attention to the society more strongly than the posted bulletin could do.

The sad news of the death of Miss Tella Chapman of the present Senior class, was made known to us upon Thursday morning, her death having occurred the preceding evening. Miss Chapman entered the University in '84 and since that time each succeeding year has augmented the number of her friends and admirers, and increased the love which those already formed have felt toward her. Hers was an amible and lovable disposition and her absence from our halls for some six or seven months has been noticed with deepest regret. Now that not only the University but the world as well must love her, we feel a sorrow the more poignant because of our personal acquaintance with her and a consequent knowledge of her many virtues and inestimable worth.
The Washburn Argo has been changed to a semi-monthly.
Mr. F. C. JACoby, who has been editor of College Echoes since its founding will shortly resign his position. It is to be hoped that his successor will be able to conduct the paper as successfully as Mr Jacoby has done.
The University is represented on all three of the city dailies. Happenings on the hill are given under the head of "University Items," in the Journal, "At the University" in the Record, while the Tribune in a way peculiar to itself has plagiarized the head used by the Journal last year, "House on the Hill."
THE Ottawa University Oratorical Association offers a prize of twenty-five dollars to the winner of the local contest. This would be a good example to follow here. There is not an association in the state that is better able to offer a prize than ours. The association pays dividends every year and a part of them should be devoted towards offering a prize as an inducement to enter the contest.
This week we publish the first of what it is hoped will be a series of letters over the signature of "Bess." The young lady who has assumed this nom de plume for the letters she has promised the KANSAN, is one of the most prominent young ladies in the University, and has contributed largely to the University press, although never before under any but her own name.
In her letters she will be the champion of the interests of her sex, but at the same time she will censure any failings or weaknesses that she may observe.
We are glad to see that the majority of the students are falling into the true university spirit this year. They are doing their work in a whole-souled way for the work's sake. This is as it should be. We advise students to forget the usual high school notions as soon as possible. Good grades are all right, but don't work for them alone. If you do not love study for its own sake, love it for the knowledge and the power you will gain thereby. Avail yourselves incidentally of all the means of culture which present themselves here in Lawrence. Attend the hoped for lectures and concerts; cultivate the acquaintance of your fellow students. Let us be true University students.
Much has been said and written during the past year concerning a National University to be located at or in the vicinity of Washington. Much can be said both for and against such a scheme, but there is another plan something in the same line that at present would be more practical and beneficial to the college world, namely a National University system. By a National University system is meant an organization composed of the leading
A National University System.
colleges and Universities of the United States. These different schools, instead of working separately as they do now, could be of assistance to one an other in various ways. Many colleges and universities have certain branches to which especial attention are given, and students pursuing that particular branch of study in one college may become convinced that he could work to better advantage in another and may wish to change. But if he does so, he must take an examination in everything he has ever studied, from his a, b, c's up to the highest studies in the school. No matter how high the standing of the college he leaves, the one he enters will compel him to tell "what route a European tourist would take to visit the five leading cities of the United States," or "How is a president nominated, elected and inaugurated." This is seemingly a small matter and a person's first thought would be that anyone desirous of changing his school would not hesitate because of being compelled to take the examinations, but nine out of ten would not make the change, no matter how well prepared to take the examinations. On the other hand if he could change and have his grades from the school he is leaving accredited at the school he is entering, there would be no hesitation about the change.
As it is now there is no university or college of standing so high that a student can leave and be sure of having his grades accepted by any other college. A student could not come from Yale or Harvard to the University of Kansas and know that he could enter without an examination. Of course he would feel reasonably sure that he would be received and the probabilities are that he would but the committee could, if they chose, compel him to take an examination.
The injustice of such a state of affairs cannot but be apparent to every one, and if a remedy could be suggested, it should be given due consideration. The remedy here proposed, may be open to objection, but until some objection is made it will be held as valid. The greatest difficulty that has presented itself is the method for putting it into execution. To get it started the two or three colleges of the country might join in an association that wil freely accept each others grades. Let them afterwards elect to membership any other college whose work they are willing to accept as equivalent to their own. In this way the leading colleges and universities would soon join in the association and it would no doubt prove beneficial to both themselves and their students.

Athenaeum.
The first meeting of Athenaeum this year was held in the society hall last Friday night. In every way the meeting was a success. The program comprised some of the best lit-
President Ross called the meeting to order and delivered the address of welcome, extending a "friendly greeting and a hearty welcome" to all the old members and to all who wished to join. He spoke at some length of the advantages to be, and that had been derived from participating in literary societies. This address was excellent throughout.
C. P. Chapman recited with force and feeling one of Longfellows's poems. E. W. Palmer read a well written essay. Harold Barnes delivered an oration on the subject of "Energy and Patience." Both of these productions were considerably above the ordinary.
Hervey White read an essay on a subject of interest to all—Barbs and Frats in K. S. U. The writer appeared to be quite familiar with his subject and treated it in a style immensely pleasing to the barbarian horde present. The essay was well written and contained much truth.
A. F. Fullerton described the present condition of Ireland.
After the transaction of some unimportant business the society adjourned.
Resolved, That this country is in more danger from the Machinations of Anarchists and Foreign Enemies than from the Accumulation and Concentration of Wealth.
After five minutes' recess the debate on the question:
H. B. Hall and H. E.Riggs were on the affirmative; H. A. Hadley and E W. Palmer on the negative.
Seminary of Historical and Political Science.
This new association will embrace all of the best features of the Political Science Club, besides several new features. From his two years' experience with the Political Science Club, Prof. Canfield is able to accept only those features that have proven to be practical. Under the new management the Seminary is expected to be even more interesting and valuable an adjunct to the department, in the future, than the Political Science Club has been in the past.
The Political Science Club has been succeeded by the Seminary of Historical and Political Science. This new society has been organized by Profs. J. H. Canfield and F. W. Blackmar. The membership of theociety is limited to the department of History and Political Science, students having two or more studies in that department being active members and those having less than two studies being associate members.

MR. EDITOR:—When I was about to leave my home for a year's work at the University, after having been here for one long year, I declared that I would not be homesick; but all vows have come to naught, and the cause is this: I passed the room once used as a cloak room and peering in, saw a number of law students lounging about the room in various attitudes expressive of the utmost contentment. This brought to my mind scenes which I had witnessed in the same place and I felt that without our cloak room we could no longer find life enjoyable.
We can no more dodge hastily in to escape the eye of a professor whose class we are skipping; we cannot run in between each recitation and see that "my bangs" are all right; we cannot put on our hats and then, taking our books in hand, stand in the door-way slowly putting on our gloves while watching for the right fellow to come along; we cannot sit in the windows and make game of new student of the male persuasion who calmly strolls in washes his hands and face and giving his hair a part, strolls out, but not so calmly; and also, we can no longer stretch ourselves out in full length on the shelves and "play catacombs."
This may sound like treason to the rest of our sex, but then it is all a thing of the past now, and—well, to tell the truth, I don't want those boys to think they have all the fun with their Pan-Hellenic, or Jug-Hellenic as it ought to be called, with regard to the fitness of things
I dont believe in the prevalent idea that we girls must always appear quiet, dignified and reserved whether we actually are so or not; on the contrary I think that what we do say should be made known, talked about and criticised just as freely and as publicly in this paper, for instance, as are the actions and sayings of boys. As no one has ever done this before, and probably will not soon, I shall take it upon myself to make known our desires and complaints from now on in this way, the editor of the KANSAN having kindly proffered the use of its columns Bess.
Science Club.
Most of the old members of the Science Club were to be found gathered around the long table in Snow Hall last Friday night and several new faces were to be seen, among them Prof. Carmuth and Prof. Stevens and their wives.
Prof. W. S. Franklin's paper on the sense of smell was the great attraction of the evening, and showed much research and thought, as Prof. Franklin's papers always do, although all investigations in this neglected field must be somewhat disappointing in the lack of positive information. It is remarkable that so little attention has been paid to this important sense and almost nothing is known of its way of working. Prof. Franklin showed that as the phenomena of interference is absen
and there is no apparent relation between different odors, each sensation must be produced on a different set of nerves and that the effects were probably chemical although no exact relation has been discovered between the chemical composition and the odor. The paper excited a long and interesting discussion in which every one in the room took part. Prof. Marvin called attention to the fact that although odors are kept in the memory for a long time yet it is impossible to bring them to mind as we can bring up a picture before us.
Robt. Rutledge followed with a report of recent feats of engineering, and Prof. Marvin gave an account of some curious bridges in Ottawa County.
Prof. Stevens next called the attention of the club to the important work which is being done in the cultivation of parasites of noxious insects. The parasite of the scale insect has been introduced to protect the orange groves of Florida, and Prof. Snow's attempt to kill off the chinch bug has been very successful this season wherever tried. The importance of applied entomology is apparent when we realize that the value of cotton destroyed by the cotton fly in Texas this year is $11,000,000.
Prof. Franklin noticed a new method of reducing the value of the peronal error in astronomical observations by means of which it is possible to estimate within less than the twentieth part of a second the ocultation of a star, with great ease.
Plans were proposed for giving a public exhibition of lantetn views on popular scientific subjects about Christmas time, and it was also decided that the amatuer photographers that infest the University should "take a walk" some fine day and practice on each other and the natives in the surrounding jungle. There are now five cameras in the club and it is dangerous practicing inside the city limits.
All shrewd, economical buyers go to the Star Shoe store to buy their shoes. Why? because their expenses are light and they can afford to sell goods cheap. They sell for cash. No dead beat accounts to make you help pay up. Come and see us.
Five names were presented for membership to the Science Club. Two weeks from Friday the second meeting of the year will be held, and Prof. Bailey will report on the summer meeting of the association for the advancement of science.
★
Although membership to the Science Club is confined to the Juniors, Seniors and Professors in the scientific departments, the club meetings are open to all, and we will be glad to see students in all classes come around to Snow Hall when you see the program up and see if you don't enjoy the evening.
