Last Saturday some of the University students had the pleasure of witnessing a game of base ball contested by nines composed of students of Haskell Institute. It was surprising to the visitors that the Indian boys played the national game so well. The interest they take in the game is far greater than that which has been shown by the University nine this season. Gus Mackey, of the Pottawatomie tribe, came to the institute a few days ago, and since his arrival has proved himself to be a phenomenon in the box. He tells us that he has played exhibition games with the Detroit, Michigan, team. The institute nine is practicing often, since it is their intention to "do up" the University nine. If the K. S. U. nine does not want to be defeated it had better have the grounds cleared up and practice.

OUR TICKET
JAMES H. CANFIELD.
Platform—Advocation of Educational Merit.
If our sentiments have reached the ears of the regents, there will be a chancellor elected at their next meeting, which occurs next Tuesday, and that chancellor will be the man without doubt the best fitted for that position. If the regents do not see it they are blind, and they will deserve to be classed with the last state legislature. The man we mean is James H. Canfield. Regents give us him or none.
We have in this issue an article from an old ex-student who has promised us several articles this year. The older students are well
acquainted with him, and many of the younger ones have heard his name. He requested us not to publish his name therefore his articles will appear under the nom de plume of "Ex-Student."
A greater interest in athletic sports is being taken this fall than heretofore and we hope that the boys will keep it up. With some practice this fall and an early start next spring there is no reason why the K. S. U. B. B. nine should not win, and win with ease from these little B. B. nines from Baker and Washburn and such schools. Play ball boys and let us beat the Nebraska and Missouri University nines next spring.
There is great dissatisfaction among our students upon the system of examinations. First, there is the irregularity of the system; some professors accepting the grade of 90 and requiring no examination, while others will insist upon the term examination, no matter what the class work shows the pupils standing to be. Since our first entrance into the University there has been many reforms and we beg that this be changed. If the class attendance is compulsory, let the every day record decide the question of passing, or remove the compulsory attendance and give us the most rigid examinations.
LETTER NO. ONE.
As an ex-student I feel privileged to speak of some things which strike me in your college life and work that seem to call for reformation. I look back over the years spent on Oread as of the happiest of my life, but oh, how many mistakes I and all the rest made. Allow me to say right here that all the mistakes were not of the students making, however. We more than suspected then that our professors were human and liable to err, now we can see that our judgment was often correct. How many of us recall our first entry into the halls of K. S. U. and our emotions so new and varied. The world, our world, seemed so large, our heads fairly swam, and our hearts swelled with importance. Visions of what we should accomplish, of the conquests we should make and the good that we should gain flashed before us in unending procession. Well, today as I look
into the faces of the new students I read the same hopes and aspirations, and I look beyond into the coming years and I see the same failures and losses. Why? Because you are making the same blunders that we made. From your homes you come with too great an estimate of yourself. You are thinking of the honor you are to confer upon this institution; of the impression you as a wealthy man's son will create, or how you will carry everything before you as you did at home. But you find your own "sweet will" must bend to that of your teachers; the wealth of parents will not be an "open sesame" to the good will of your instructors, and your presence in the halls of K. S. U., only be considered a favor when you shall have earned your way to distinction. Set aside your preconceived ideas of your own genius, get down to hard, honest study, and win not only the reward of knowledge, but the golden opinions of both students and professors.
I wish I could endow a chair of gymnastics in the University. Such lack of grace as some of you show in every movement. Yes, I should teach dancing too. A graceful manly walk, an easy carriage of head and shoulders is as necessary to a good position in the best circles as brains. An awkward, ungainly man may make money, or be a learned servant, but he will not carry the weight that he would if he were well developed and easy of manner. Look to it, boys, that you are not forgetful of these things. Grant a man a well proportioned body, an easy, graceful manner, a kindly heart and a good education, and you have given him every power to move the world.
EX-STUDENT.
SUNRISE
For some weeks our party had been planning a hunting trip to the range. We had fully discussed the matter, had counted our deer, bear and sheep, had decided that it was to be the grandest success of the summer. When the day set for the departure arrived, everyone was on the move, guns were taken apart and cleaned and ammunition was prepared for a wholesale slaughter. It was late in the afternoon before we left camp. For two hours all went well. The burro went as slowly as ever, the boys cussed him as eloquently as was usual at such times. An occasional stop to shift blankets from one shoulder to the other, or to let our "wind pumps" catch up, caused some slight delays in our march. About 4 o'clock a stop was made which was not on the program. It rained. I have heard it said that "it never rains but it pours." It poured on that occasion. Kind friends, picture if you can eight fellows roosting under spruce trees like forlorn cihckens under gooseberry bushes; finally the spruce trees began to leak, so four of us 'tock up our station on a log and covered our heads with rubber blankets, trying to keep as dry as we could. It was not a success. Never were youths more thoroughly doused. We went on at last, "Old Sol" condescending to show us his face for a time. We reached "Windy Gulch" and climbed up the rocky path to Timber Line camp, got supper, gathered an enormous pile of wood for one nights fire, divided the party into watches and tried to go to sleep.
It rained a little and then snowed a little, but at last the weather clerk let us have peace. As the weary watches of the night dragged on I could hear the boys moving around the fire, adding new logs and stirring up the blazing pile. It was not funny. I was sorry for myself when I thought of my turn. At 3 a. m. I was called; stirred the fire, ate a cracker or two, lit my cob-merschaum and sat down to meditate on my sins and wish for 4 o'clock.
The clouds which had been hovering around all the afternoon and evening had settled down into the valley. On the range all was still and clear. The stars shone brightly, the pale rim of the moon shone as a disc of silver in the west. Below us, instead of a wilderness of burned and fallen timber, was cloudland. As dawn grew redder, the cloud forms began to assume definite shape. We seemed no longer on the mountain top, but on the shore of some rocky desert island, below tossed and rolled the restless wave of the ocean. No storm on the face of any sea was ever more beautiful to behold than that picture of rolling cloud waves. At last it was fairly light and we could see, miles away, other islands, mountainous ones, rising above the waves. These peaks covered with eternal snow formed the back ground, the ocean of clouds, the body of the picture, which was framed by a foreground of rocky cliffs and dead timber.
Even as we looked, the airy forms began to melt away under the influence of the newly risen sun.
The phantom ocean was scattered like mist, the snowy islands became familiar mountain peaks, and we looked on beautiful Estes park.
The picture was gone but the impression it left will not soon be effaced from the minds of those of us who were fortunate enough to behold it.
THE CHAPPIE TOURIST.
He goes to a summer resort because "Its the thing to do, you know," not because he anticipates any great amount of fun. He pays an exorbitant price for board at a stylish hotel, puts on his best clothes and proceeds to kill time. He plays tennis with the girls and flirts a bit to keep his hand in. He watches the country boys play ball and shouts encouragement to his friend they pitcher in the following terms: "Now then, chappie old boy, show 'em what ball is." "Bravo! chappie old boy, well played."
The "chappie" goes riding once in a while. He rides a bob tail horse, usually he can't ride well but flops his wings like an old hen on a shaky roost.
When he goes fishing he is equipped with costly pole and landing net, fish basket and waders, and all the other paraphernalia of dude fishermen but he is often piqued when he sees sundry "Jay" campers with linen line and willow pole, catch more fish than he does. That is frequently the case, too. He never forgets his dignity, that and money are all that he has to recommend him. He never will descend so low as to speak to anyone whose clothes are not strictly a la mode, nor will he smoke anything but but the best cigars. He "cawn't e dure a pipe" nor anyone who smokes one; "so dweadfully vulgah."
I have often wondered what possible inducement some classes of young men could possibly find to lead them to the summer resorts. They do not indulge in any healthy exercise, nor do they find any amusement that could not as well be indulged in at home. Tennis, billiards, quoits and such games are not the main mountain attractions. Our crowd did not look like dudes—nay—we looked far more like horse thieves than anything else, but we did indulge in more healthy exercise than we could have gained in a year at a hotel, we did have endless fun, and every one of us feels better for our trip. Yet our whole summer trip cost us but little more than one week of "chappie" existence. R.E.HENRY.

NOTES.
This year has marked the advent of a new fraternity to Wesleyan University, the Beta Theta Pi.
Ottawa University (Kansas) has discontinued its normal and business departments. Sixty-five new students are enrolled, being a considerable advance over recent years. A new college building to cost $25,000, has been begun. Most of this amount is subscribed by citizens of Ottawa.
In his opening address in chapel President Seelye, of Amherst, dwelt particularly on the importance of college discipline, and said that the students need not fear for their health and other matters half so much as that they should allow college affairs to detract from the regular college work.
Prof. Elias Loomis, one of the most successful as well as one of the most distinguished astronomers of the age, was a graduate of Yale, and for the last thirty years has pursued his researches as professor of astronomy at his alma mater. He has just bequeathed to her also the income of an estate of nearly $275,000 to encourage and reward astronomical research at Yale college.
Why do we object to the rules $ \mathbf{f o}_{r} $ absences at K. S.U. when they are this strict at Lehigh? "The rules in regard to absences have been made more stringent and will be rigorously enforced. For fifteen inexcused absences from recitations the student is liable to expulsion, and absence from Sunday chapel counts three In the second term the limit is twenty. Rules in regard to conditional standing are also being more sharply drawn."

A WILL.
829 MASSACHUSETTS STREET,
I, ——, being about to be initiated into the awful mysteries of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, do make and declare this to be my last will and testament.
To my beloved room mate, ———, I do bequeath my Phi Gam colors, provided, that he shall wear them andafterwards join the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity; also the manuscript music of my various mandolin compositions. To my beloved brother ——, I do leave my shirt, which he now wears, and my wash bill with interest thereon. All the rest of my goods, chattels and real estate I desire sold to establish a fraternity for all those who meet their death from initiation, except cash on deposit in Douglas County Bank, which I subscribe toward a Pi Denteron chapter house. May Phi Gamma Delta ever flourish.
Witness my hand and seal this twenty-eighth day of September, eighteen hundred and eighty-nine, at the city of Lawrence, county of Douglas, state of Kansas.. Witness.

The Sophs are the mighty class in K. S. U. In union there is strength, and there is unity in the class and mighty threats of what vee will do when the Juniors have their picnic.

The Freshies held a meeting at the end of the fourth hour in the chapel to organize, but the wily politicians were on hand and the wires were so manipulated that the Freshies were adjourned without even adopting a constitution or nominating a president. The class will meet again today and it is hoped that politics and politicians will be absent.
A large number of students attended the joint reception given by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. to the new students last Saturday night. Prof. Snow delivered an address of welcome and Miss May Gleason recited the love scene between King Henry and Katherine of France, which was received with such approbation that she was compelled to respond by giving them several short recitations. Pres. Ackley then called upon Mr. Chapman and Mr. R. D. Brown to tell about the Y. M. C. A. work and its prospects in K. S. U. Revs. Sweezy and McPherson gave the boys a address, after which the assembly adjourned to Y. M. C. A. parlors where the rest of the evening was spent in conversation.
Orophilian will hold a reception for old and new students to-night. A pleasing program will be rendered in the course of the evening, including a cornet solo by W. E. Curry, short talks by some prominent Orophilians of old, instrumental music by Miss Weller and others, selections by Miss May Gleason, an elocutionist of no mean talent, who is visiting here from New York; and a vocal solo by Miss Park. Everyone who attends is assured a pleasant time as the occasion will be one of the most enjoyable of the whole year.

We are informed by one of the board of regents that the chancellorship has been offered to one of the professors at Johns Hopkins, who refused to accept on account of "inadequate compensation." Further that they have in view several men in eastern universities to whom it is likely that the position will be offered. It is the opinion of our informer that none of the these will accept for the same reason. As a last resort it is proposed to select some Kansas man, very probably one of the faculty.
The adoption of a class hat and cane by the Sophomores is a move in the right direction. There has long been an urgent need of more class spirit and unity in all departments of the University, and the Sophs deserve our thanks for
the highly commendable part which they have taken in the matter.
We are in receipt of the first three numbers of the "Baker Beacon." It starts out well equipped with local matter and advertisements and altogether gives evidence of a comendable degree on the part of its editors. The editorial staff is a combination of the two elements of the school, the Y. M. C. A., and those whose delight lies not in the pursuit of religious affairs. These two elements have always been at verience, to a greater or less extent, and it is probable that with this new condition of affairs matters will run with more than accustomed ease and celerity.
One evening last week the boys had congregated in and around Doc Hoadley's drug store and were indulging in the usual amount of mutual "guying." John Davis had been left in charge of the store, and some of the boys asked him what he would do if somebody were to ask for some drug. "Sell it to him of course," A moment or two after a traveling man stepped into the store. John hustled around the corner, tipped the boys the wink and stood expectant. The drummer looked at John a moment and then asked for "Three drams of the seventh trituration of Diaethylsulfondem ethylmethon." John grabbed the case to steady himself, while every fellow got ready to shout. "Cigars on that, John." But John was equal to the occasion. He leaned over lit a cigarette, and then informed his customer that he was 'Very sorry, sir, but we are just out, I ordered three barrels of it yesterday. Be in tomorrow. Anything else?' And the crowd groaned.
We have been called upon to record the marriage of several of the alumni and old students this week. We would be glad if special pains would be taken by all old students to send such notices to the COURIER. It is frequently the only means of giving out to the alumni such news. After leaving the college the old ties are broken, old friendships are dropped and new ones formed. Three or four years out of college and the old student cannot tell you the whereabouts of
any of his old chums. It is the province of the college paper to keep to the front with such items of news, and to do so we must ask for the cooperation of our alumni. Kindly send us a paper, when one of "our boys" becomes a Benedict, or when one of the old girls takes a man for better or worse. We are aiming to be up with the times. We would gladly welcome all news of our alumni and add our "godspeed" to the well wishes of other friends. We trust that our alumni and all old students may prosper, and when they embark on the matrimonial sea, we wish for them smooth sailing and a pleasant harbor.
It is proposed to hire Frazier's hall, secure a good orchestra, give a ball first class in every respect, and devote the proceeds to the carrying out of this scheme. The projectors of this movement have a very praiseworthy object in view, and it is to be hoped that the students will show an appreciation of their efforts by attending in large numbers.
The object of the University ball, so much talked about of late, does not seem to be fully understood by all the students. The athletic association, while a very useful organization, has long been retarded in its work by want of suitable grounds. The northwest end of the campus is especially adapted to such purposes. Forming naturally an imposing amphitheatre, the place with the assistance of a little grading, could be made second to none in the west as a field for out door sports.
In the death of ex-Govenor John A. Martin, we, as students have not only lost a man who servod as a model to all young men, a wise and just ruler, a true and staunch "pillar of state" but a friend whose efforts were always earnestly enlisted in behalf of education in general, and our University in particular. During the the whole period of his governorship he was the champion of every move which looked to the upbuilding of our institution. His influence, both public and private, was ever directed to make Kansas State University a fit representative of what was to him the "most glorious state in the Union."
John A. Martin was distinctively a Kansas man. Coming to this state at an early age, his educa-
cation, training, sympathies, in fact, his very self, is the result of long and intimate association with Kansas and Kansas people. He differs from others of our most prominent statesmen in that it was here, in our very midst, that he achieved distinction and renown, and won for himself a place in the hearts of all Kansans, second to that held by no man.
The students of this institution and the Courier join with the general community in the expression of sincere sorrow for the loss which we all sustain at his death.
VIEWS.
THOMAS H. VAIL
One of the most prominent men of Kansas has passed away. Bishop Vail was one of the pioneers of this state. He has done much to form its system of education and to promote its morality. No short sketch of this mans' life will suffice to set forth the great good he has done in the state. One of the truest and noblest of christian gentlemen, he has always been a tireless worker in the interests of church and society. He has travelled all over the state establishing churches. He founded and for years has been president of Bethany College, one of the leading female schools of the west. He was founder of the Episcopal Theological Seminary at Topeka. He had a great interest in the old "Lawrence University," and since that has become the State University, he has maintained his interest and done much for onr alma mater.
It is seldom that men are permitted to live to the ripe old age of seventy-seven, retaining all their faculties and able to do as much and as good work as Bishop Vail did. He has been in Kansas for twenty-five years, and has seen the state grow from a rough frontier country, devastated by war, to one of the greatest of American commonwealths. He has known all the leading men of the state and has become well known as one of the purest and best of men.
His loss is a great one to the Episcopal church and to the state. He has gone to reap his rich reward in the heavenly kingdom, where he will hear "well done thou good and faithful servant." His most enduring monument will be the works he left behind him, and his good name, as well as the love borne for the grand old man by everyone who has ever been fortunate enough to meet him.
FOR THE COURIER.
Why and how an Athletic Association should be organized immediately at K. S. U:
K. S. U. students enter school well muscled and healthy. By well adirected effort and a little time so pent as not to interfere with school work, they could maintain this condition throughout the year. By an expenditure of a little extra time, especially on the part of the runners, walkers, base ball players, etc., we can eclipse all former field days and make records equal to the best made by American colleges. Why do I make such sweeping statements? Because eastern athletes say that better athletic material is found in the west than in the east, and because facts prove them to be right. Read the following from a former student and participant in last year's contests at K. S. U. "I do not believe that the world's records are impossible for vigorous Kansas boys. As for myself, I have the egotism to think that with three years scientific training, I could outrun the best recorded. I know one Kansas boy who has already done so many times and he expects to improve. I refer to Chas. Forton who beat me so far, [time at best 9 seconds.] 9-50 second men are becoming rather plentiful in Kansas and they are found only in Kansas. But sprinting is not all of athletics. Kansas does not sit at the foot in any department. Whistler, who threw the champion wrestler of the world and was poisoned for it, was reared in Kansas. K. S. U. can and should stand at the head of the colleges of the world." Two of the records of last field day were among the best, one mile walk in 7:20, and 100 yard run in 94-5 seconds.
As an Athletic Association can be maintained at little expense, especially in the department of out door sports, and as little time need be taken in the work, let us all do our best toward that end and attend the meetings which will soon be called for this purpose. If we do our best, the state will be more willing to do something for us.

LAW DEPARTMENT.
Cooper is both an artist and a poet. W.B.Townsend made a business trip to his home in Leavenworth Saturday.
The discussion in regard to changing the place of meeting goes merrily on in the Kent club.
Nichols says he intends to serve an injunction on a man to enjoin him from leaving the state until he pays his debts.
A large number of the Laws took in the Y. M.C.A.social. It is needless to add that they were mostly Juniors.
One of the Juniors thinks Prof. Green would need one or more witnesses to establish the truth of what he swears to.
A lot of the musical inclined Laws seranaded Prof. Green last Friday night, but failed to make the professor show up—he wasn't there.——.
Prof. Green has announced to the Juniors that he does not wish so much time to be taken up with talk on outside subjects. This is a wise move and will be gladly received by the majority of the class.
An Ananias Club has been formed by the members of the Law Department Club room in Merchants National Bank building Every member is required to be ready with a story at each meeting.
The Juniors now have to endure a recitation of two hours and half. Prof. Green having decided that two hours is not sufficient time in which to instil the principles of constitution into the minds os the future judges.
They have become very strict in the law department this year. The Seniors are not allowed to spit tobacco juice on the floor and the Juniors are prohibited from putting their feet so high as to obstruct the vision of those behind them.
The Kent Club held a very interesting meeting last Friday evening. The paper by Cooper on Justice Marshall was well prepared and showed that the gentlemen knew whereof he spoke. The club is fast becoming the best literary society in the University,
The Juniors held a class meeting last week for the purpose of taking steps toward organization. Hodges was made chairman.
After considerable talk as to why they were there, a committee of Cenkle, Graham and Steel were appointed to draw up a constitution. Meeting adjourned to meet at call of the committee.
Last Saturday afternoon there young Laws chartered the sail boat and went out for a trip on the river. About a mile above the dam the water proved too tempting and two of them went in swimming. Soon after a boat with two young ladies and escort hove in sight around the bend in the river. The bathers swam around to one side and pulled the sail over them for protection, while the occupants of the other b oat amused themselves for an hou or so rowing around in the vacinity measuring the water and viewing the scenery. When the boys finally got a chance to get in the boat and dress, they were thoroughly disgusted with the Kaw as a bathing resort.
PHARMACY DEPARTMENT
Both Seniors and Juniors enjoyed a quiz in the Materia Medica last Monday.
The Pharmics have organized a string band consisting of Youngberg, Claassen and Amos.
All the members of the Senior class are candidates for president, and it is extremely likely that the class will have no organization this year as no one is willing to change his vote.
The Pharmics were nearly all attentive and appreciative spectators of the Priests of Pallas; and some of them swear by Pallas Athene that Minerva is a boss old girl.

UNITY CLUB.
The following are the resolutions adopted by the senior class on the death of their friend and classmate, Miss Tella Chapman:
We, the members of the class of 190, having lost by the death of Miss Tella Dow Chapman one of our brightest and most cherished classmates, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we wish to put upon record the sincere expression of our sorrow at the loss of our beloved classmate and friend, yet we feel a grief too deep and poignant to be expressed in formal and lengthy resolutions.
Resolved, That we take this simple means of extending our heartfelt sympathy to her bereaved parents in their hour of affliction.

Mr. R. E. Speer of Princeton College led the joint meeting of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A.'s last Friday evening at the University. He spoke upon the subject of "Foreign Missions." The meeting was an interesting one. The question occurs, why cannot the members of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. arrange to have a joint meeting at least every month, which shall be devoted to the discussion of some special religious topic. They can so arrange, and let them better themselves aad do so, if they wish to maiatain a lively interest in all their meetings. And now let both faculty and students give a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether toward this end.

Miss Park then kindly favored the audience with vocal and instrumental music. Several old Orophilians being present were called on by President Whitman to tell some of the interesting things which happened while they were members. E. Caldwell responded first and gave a spicy talk on his experience as a member of Orophilian in 1878. He was followed by John Walker, who was a student in K. S. U. in 1873.

It is greatly to the credit of the students who have attended the University that no such barbarous practice has ever existed or found sanction here.
The papers are full of accounts of hazing operations in eastern colleges. We have several ball teams, a foot ball association and fraternities without number but no hazing. Let us be thankful.
Again we wish to remind the student of the importance of a large attendance at the University ball. If you don't dance go and look on. It will be worth the price of admission to see various party leaders, frat men and barbs and all those who make up the contending factions in K. S. U. dancing together in peace and friendship to the sweet music of Graebers peerless orchestra.
Take our board of regents, put them in a little stone pen; debar them from the partisan world, exclude party sentiment and Canfield will be Chancellor.
Otherwise this representative of free trade doctrine will not be permitted, as wise men have forecasted, to inculcate in the youth of K. S. U. the much hated policy of free trade.
The press of the state has been for some time engaged in discussing the question as to the most beautiful view in Kansas. Strange to say no one has mentioned Lawrence as a candidate for the honor. The first exclamation that bursts from a visitor's lips on reaching the top of Mt. Oread is "What a beautiful view." The town nestled at the foot of the hill, the silvery ribbon of the Kaw, and the timber fringed Wakarusi to the south make up a picture over which a painter or poet would linger for hours. If a committee is ever appointed to settle this difficult question let them come first to Kansas State University and their mission will be ended.
Some young free trade squirts of the State University, who run the COURIER, are booming J. H. Canfield for Chancellor, instead of pursuing their legitimate course of study. If Mr. Canfield aspires to such a high position, he should go South where his peculiar ideas of protective economy are better appreciated.-Olathe Mirror.
The above item emanated from the "cultivated instinct" that the editor of the Mirror possesses in common with other hot-headed radicals who believe in toleration only as so much as it is the representation of a deserving party.
The above little editorial gem betokens him as a man superior in instructive knowledge, to other beings of the same class and herd.
We need not comment on the gentlemen's wisdom.

Dear Old Courier:
receipt of a COURIER published subsequently to that announcement proved to be unauthentic news. The COURIER, even though its personal management does not appeal to my sympathies, is yet so closely identified with the brightest days of my life, that when it ceases to be something very dear to me, the memory of the old days will also cease to be
No paper will be the COURIER except the COURIER.
No competitor or substitute can fill its place.
A change of name is but the marriage of one's old girl. She is no longer the Isbel or Claribel of the old days. She is not even Sallie, even if she and her husband dwell in and indentify themselves with the residents of our alley.
Hoping that the COURIER will continue to appear and meet with all success, I am Sincerely,

FRATS AND BARBS IN K. S. U.
Read by Hervey White in Athaeneum, Sept. 20.
Being of a philanthropic turn of mind and anxious to assist the new student, who is doubtless somewhat confused in the babel of college talk by mysterious though ever recurring words such as Barb, Frat, Sub-rosa, Sucker, Combination, rush, etc., and being also one who loves to see truth prevail, and who is ever desirous of pushing forward a good cause, I have taken advantage of this opportunity, so kindly granted, to give you a few opinions on the subject announced above.
My reasons then for this paper, for let us have no misunderstandings in this, so serious a matter, are two: First, to clear up in the mind of the new student any confusion which may exist from the use of so many technical terms; and second, though by no means second in importance, to show to him the many great and lasting benefits to be derived from a membership in the grandest of our college institutions—the Greek letter fraternity. Accompanying the whole by a set of valuable rules telling how to get into a fraternity, providing you are not so fortunate as to be asked.
It would perhaps be well to mention that I, a non frateruity man, do this of my own accord, not at the request of any faction,
and without pay or the expectation of it. I know that there are those here whose elbows even now are seeking the ribs of their neighbors, but those I leave to that slow but surest of eye-openers, time,
There are six of these fraternities (it is needless to enumerate them), and each one is superior to the others, while all are superior to the barbs. The word "barb," a term applied to non fraternity men, is only a contraction of "barbarian," and is not at all to be associated with that acute little cast-iron contrivance on the railings in front of a church, for the barbs here in college are the dullest things imaginable. When I say six fraternities it is not to be supposed that I am forgetful of the three lady fraternities here; God forbid! But feeling that my poor pen was utterly incompetent to write upon so tender a subject, which it could at best only splatter with ink, I resolved to confine it entirely to the boys. The barb girls in this University I do not know. Nobody does True they are nearly all hard-working students, but,—perhaps from this very fact,—they are invariably poky.
But to return to these fraternities. the boy fraternities. Their members are all gentlemen. Some of them are reported to be honest. They meet in their luxuriantly furnished halls every week, and, by friendly intercourse, sometimes with themselves and sometimes with fair and accomplished ladies, by singing, and by dancing they acquire that polish so delightful, indeed so necessary to one who is soon to join the band of educated workers that stand face to face with the great social problems of the world.
Here in these halls too, they have admirable opportunities for dividing with one another the few offices and places of honor among the students of the University and seeing that those members who have no merit of their own but rely upon the merit of their friends are not forgotten, but may share in the spoils. This very point I think is enough to convince any one of the advantage gained by belonging to a fraternity. You may be a numbskull, you may be idolent, you may be without a spark of originality, as many of our prominent fraternity men are, and yet, if you are a Greek, you
will edit our papers, you will preside over our societies, your name will be on every tongue, all because a few energetic men have chosen to call you brother.
Then in their own rooms fraternities can pledge themselves to vote for a man of another faction, providing that faction will in turn vote for their man, and do it without noise, and without scandal, perfectly undisturbed. There are those who argue that this promiscuous selling of votes is not honorable, is not just, and that fraternities should not be allowed to control all papers and publications under the name of students of the University of Kansas when in reality the opinions published are exactly opposite to the opinions of two-thirds of the body of students. Will these stubborn arguers ever lose sight of the greater question, and keep their eyes persistently fixed upon things of lesser moment? What if the frat men do learn to look upon their vote merely as a thing to be bought and sold? What if the students and University do suffer a little from these lies? Are not the fraternities benefited thereby? I frankly grant that fraternity scheming and warring will kill the best literary society in the University- It cannot be helped. But who will think of comparing the success of a paltry literary society to the lasting glory of our fraternities? In my mind, the society should feel it an honor, and most willingly offer herself up, a sacrifice to her superior.

Hervey White's article on "Barbs and Frats," which is concluded in this issue, has attracted much attention both here and abroad. We have received numerous letters of inquiry in regard to Mr. White and the motives which prompted him to write the article. Several persons have also written asking permission to answer it. The subject is somewhat time-worn, but the "Views" column is open to everyone and we will publish any article written in reply.
The Review for October seems to forget its old ally and cotemporary the COURIER and follows a false scent which leads it to make statements which it intends no doubt shall injure the COURIER. And which statements might injure if they were left unanswered. But when the truth of the matter becomes known, the perversion of facts in the Review articles will be made apparent. That a faction, a dissatisfied faction, in the COURIER did withdraw and combine with the supporters of the University Times and form a new paper the Kansan, is a fact. But this faction of the COURIER held less than one-fourth of the shares in the company. And although they have succeeded in killing the Times, the old and original COURIER still survives and will continue to appear in spite of all efforts of the Review to lessen its popularity. The lies and falsehoods to which the business managers of the Kansan have resorted in order to injure us with the merchants, have completely failed to accomplish their purpose, and it is to be hoped that the gentlemen have learned that such a questionable practice is more detrimental to their own success than to their opponents
VIEWS.
FRATS AND BARBS IN K. S. U.
Read by Hervey White in Atheneum, Sept. 20.
[Concluded.]
Tis said that these favored ones are in possession of strange and important secrets. Of this, I know nothing positively, but I believe the rumor not wholly without foundation, for, when in council, even in the presence of the vulgar barbarians, these dainty dons invariably form a magic circle around some mystic emblem, such as an old coal-scuttle and, feigning levity, they alternate their talk by taking into their mouths bites from a curiously pressed cake, made from the leaves of a noxious weed, and after chewing dilligently, they deposit both the overflow and the sediment in, or in the vicinity of the coal-scuttle. The cake too, which is passed from mouth to mouth, is adorned with a silver horseshoe, auspicious emblem of the issue of their schemes.
The barbs on the other hand could not, strictly speaking, be called gentlemen. Look at them when they assemble, wild and
woolly, at some barb meeting. I verily believe that half of them do not shave oftener than twice a week, and celluloid collars and cuffs are vastly in the majority. To be sure they appear independent and look sociable enough and even intelligent. It is certainly a fact that taken as a whole the barbs are much better students than the frats; but how their coats fit! Why, not one-tenth of the barbs would be at ease in good society. And then this independence of which they boast, is, after all, the curse of their existence. They can't pull together long, for, if the leaders attempt a little chicanery for the sake of an office, half of the followers will drop off simply because they think it isn't right; and the leaders will call the others cranks, and the others will call the leaders something that I will not give here, but which you will soon learn if you remain a barb; and so they disagree, and the frat men get the offices in the end.
Again, there is so much trouble in selling votes. If a barb sells his vote it is almost impossible to keep people from knowing it because one will tell on another, and what can be more embarrassing to that barb than to be constantly reminded of that transaction? Then, too —But why go further? Enough has certainly been said to satisfy any rational man that he had best join a fraternity the first time he can get a chance. The important question now is, how can one get a chance? The answer is more difficult. If you are not so fortunate as to be rushed,—rushed is a word which has a whole history in itself and consists in all the members of one fraternity gathering around a man, like he were the long lost brother, feeding him upon taffy
Again, the barbs are continually being pestered by scrubs, men who are not even clever enough to get into a fraternity, and so are enthusiastic barbs. These men willingly take upon themselves the leadership of the barbs and in this way the body get even a worse name than they deserve. That's it! A barb can't be selected. Of course, some of them get together and form small literary clubs, where they say they have a good time and where they doundoubtedly do good work; but then no one ever hears much about them. Their names never appear in the society column of the paper.
and all sorts of lollipaps, and finally asking him to "join our frat," if he has the requisite qualities, and snubbing him for the remainder of time if he has not. If you are not so fortunate as to be rushed, give heed to these rules; they have worked before and they may again:
First, don't let people know that you want to join.
If your father is a great man let it be known and your way is smooth. It looks so nice in the papers, you know.
Above all look to your tailor. Don't buy ready-made clothing.
It is said that if you get a girl she will surely bring you into a fraternity. Personal observation, however, has taught me that it is usually the other way. The fraternity furnishes the girl and not the girl the fraternity.
Invest in shares in every association going. Votes worthless now may in time be valuable.
If you can play base ball, or the guitar, practice day and nlight.
Another plan is to champion the cause of the barbs and fight the fraternities. This is a fine game, but if you play it well, you may not only win your prize, but be crowned King of the Barbs by your new brothers the morning after you are received into their chapter, and so become immortal.
Still another way is, be a good student. Fraternities like to have it said that one of them graduated with honors of his class. This way, however, is slow as one hardly ever gets an offer before the junior year.
If these fail, become a sub rosa,
—that is, secretly join and then,
p pretending to be a barb. act as a spy for your brothers in secret.
This, however, I would advise only as a last resort, for it is said that constant lying, deceit, and treachery, will blunt the conscience.
Still I think it a case where the end justifies the means.
Can it be possible that there is one here so unreasonable that he would still consider if he were asked to enter? Then let me say: If you want fun, if you want fame, and are a blockhead,—I mean if your strong points are not appreciated here,—if you want to be respected, though perhaps not quite so respectable, join a fraternity.
But on the other hand, if you come here for solid work; if you would live without noise and without expense; if you would stand upon your own merits; if you would be an independent man rather than a lump of putty to be molded in anybody's fingers, then I say with more earnestness, and with more honesty, than I have said anything yet—HESITATE.

ON EDUCATION.
SIR;—In your pleasant little college paper I am in a recent issue quoted as saying that I "believe in a man having an education, because he can sit on a stool a few hours and draw a big salary." I may be allowed to correct your reporter in one particular To the best of my knowledge and belief I have said nothing of the kind In fact, if called on to speak with regard to education and salary I should be compelled to declare something wholly in contradiction to the above misquotation. I know of a young man of somewhat limited education who sits on a stool not a few but many hours, and is embarrassingly positive that he does not draw a "big salary;" of his case I am sure. Further than this, I have a less exact knowledge of certain young men in similar circumstances. But despite the painful conditions of the cases quoted I am glad of an opportunity to say that I do sincerely "believe in a man having an education" for certain other reasons than stool and salary conditions.
There is a practical value in education which is evident without it being necessary to refer to the Hon. Geo. R. Peck's statistics of prominent educated men, or to Mr. Chas. Gleed's arguments regarding the "Money Value of Education." I can never bring myself to Mr. Gleed's happy state of mind, which leads him to say that the farmer should have a university education that he may better understand how to oil his mower, or that the hired man should have had college training in order that he may better diagnose the case of an ailing Berkshire. I doubtless am gifted with a less sanguine temperament than Mr. Gleed, which effectually dulls my perception to the beauties of a thorough course in Sanskrit, as exhibited in the cowboy's choice vocabulary—but (very sharply, as Prof. James Canfield ejects it) I am nevertheless convinced that the farmer, the hired man, the cowboy and all would, if they could afford it, and were fit subjects, live a much broader life, and be of greater help perhaps to their comrades with a college education than can be true when not so blessed. I had said "happier" not "broader" life, but made the change because of a serious doubt as to what real happiness is. Undoubtedly, though with a college education the cowboy would close his reign of terror and cease to be a cowboy. We would lack a necessary member of the economic world. If everybody in the world were to be given a four-years' additional education, then we might conceive of no tearing up of existing conditions. There would be a change in everyone, so that our relations would remain much the same, just as if every commodity, and every service, were decreased a certain per cent in value, all would be relatively in no changed condition. The cowboy instead of "swigging his reg'ler bed-bug pisen" would doubtless "imbibe his customary drink of whisky," but the consequent delirum tremens would be as full of horror as the once "jim-jams." The farm hands might need another motive to write a Pricreuses ridicule, but the land would surely be no Utopia. And yet, I believe in a "man having an education," if he is in a position to get it. This does not mean if he is sufficiently well-fixed financially, but means rather, if he feels in himself a sincere and earnest desire for such an education. College training to him who does not desire and will not benefit by it is not a good, and should not be permitted. These are four years too nearly wasted; but the farmer's boy, the mechanic's son, the rich man's heir, who feels a lacking in his life; who appreciates an inability to take advantage of much of life's enjoyment, an inability to suitably fill a sphere in life to which a high mind calls him; this boy is in a position to get a college education. Though he may have to contend with serious difficulties, or his way is clear in either case he will be benefitted. The matter of many hours and small salary will not be such a serious privation to him, for he will receive from this world an income of pleasure, which will eke out his dollars. I do, Mr. Editor, sincerely believe in a "man having an education."

The Kent Club, organized as the Senate of the United States, will act upon the following pension bill this evening. The committee who drafted the bill purposely left several weak places in it, that there might be abundant opportunity for discussion-
[Bill H. R. No. 1021.]
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled:
An act to create a fund for the pensioning of all honorably discharged soldiers and sailors of the Civil War.
SECTION 1. That the sum of fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) be raised annually for fifteen years by a per capita tax on all male residents of the United States over twenty-one years of age.
SEC.2. That said tax shall be apportioned among the several states in such proportion as the number of male residents, hereinbefore described in each of the several states, shall bear to the whole number of said residents in the United States. The census of 1890 being the basis of apportionment.
SEC. 3. This tax shall be collected by the District Revenue Collectors and by them paid into the treasury of the United States, and said collectors are hereby authorized to appoint such assistants as may be necessary.
Sec. 4. The fund created by this act shall be subject to the control of the Commissioner of Pensions.
Sec. 5. All monies raised by this act shall be apportioned among the soldiers and sailors of the Civil War in proportion to their respective terms of service: Provided that no soldier or sailor shall receive a pension under this act that has not received an honorable discharge and seen six months of service.
Sec. 6. Any person subject to such taxation who shall neglect or refuse to pay said tax, or in any way attempt to evade the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined a sum not less than twenty-five ($25) or exceeding fifty ($50) dollars, and shall be imprisoned for thirty [30] days.
